This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 57 A persistent ghost, relentlessly biting and clinging.

"How exactly?" Ye Yang asked hurriedly.

Babata gave a cold laugh:

"They opened fire immediately, but they couldn't hit my ship from that distance!"

"However, thankfully you reminded me, so I adjusted my course and prepared to take a detour. Therefore, once I entered the dark universe, my direction of travel was either opposite to theirs or parallel to theirs."

"They can't hit us at this distance, and we're traveling in different directions. Our spaceship is also more advanced, reaching speeds up to 1.5 times the speed of light!"

"Their warships are relatively large, and because they are a garrison fleet, their warship models are quite poor, with a maximum speed of less than 1.3 times the speed of light, so they cannot catch up with us."

Babata said this.

Hearing this, Ye Yang finally felt a little relieved.

The Anzac family reacted very quickly.

Fortunately, he chose to leave the dark universe back then, because although his course was not exactly the same as that of the guard fleet, their general directions were similar.

If the Anzac family realizes what's happening and orders their fleet to capture him, and he hasn't yet learned anything about Neoba Anzac from Zanby, and doesn't know that Neoba and the Anzac family were sent by the 'Plot Correction Force' to correct him, he'll still keep the Black Dragon Mountain ship at 1.2 times the speed of light...

That would be troublesome.

Although it is a garrison fleet, it is not a bandit organization like the Sandstone Gang, but a legitimate imperial fleet!

The equipment is definitely better, and it might even have weapons that could threaten this C5-class spaceship.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Babata suddenly said, "We are traveling in the opposite direction and have reached a position 500 light-years away from the solar system, and also 850 light-years away from the star field where we destroyed the sandstone mass."

"You are about to leave the area sealed off by your teacher and enter normal space!"

Ye Yang nodded.

Although the fleet of the fourth spiral arm had long since disappeared from sight, he could not let his guard down.

On the contrary, the period after leaving the "Void Zone" and before leaving the territory of the Silver Blue Empire is an extremely dangerous period.

We must not get bogged down by the enemy's arrangements!

Less than three minutes later, Babata suddenly looked anxious: "Ye Yang! There's a small spaceship also traveling at 1.5 times the speed of light nearby, and it's getting closer and closer to us!"

Ye Yang said coldly, "Warn it to get away immediately. If it doesn't listen, attack it as soon as it enters the range of the B6 laser cannon!"

"They ignored me, so I opened fire," Babata said quickly.

Although the outside world could not be seen in the dark universe, Babata still used simulation to convert the data received by the spaceship's sensors into images for Ye Yang to see.

Both spaceships are traveling at 1.5 times the speed of light in the dark universe, and their paths are at a certain angle. They are expected to meet in 10 minutes.

Turning will significantly slow down the sailing speed.

And that's exactly what Babata did. He was betting that the opposing spaceship's engine acceleration was no match for the luxury Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship.

However, Ye Yang soon saw that after changing course twice, the distance between the two sides was actually decreasing.

"Babata, what class of spaceship is this?" Ye Yang asked.

"It should be a B9 class, but it's definitely been modified; the engine is incredibly powerful!" Babata glared, his bloodshot eyes revealing sharp fangs.

"What's most infuriating is that the auxiliary power system of our Black Dragon Mountain spaceship is no longer the original after I repaired it. I used parts from the wreckage of a low-level spaceship on Earth to replace it, so its acceleration performance is actually inferior to that of the other side."

"So, will they catch up?"

Ye Yang's eyes narrowed, then gradually flashed with madness: "Babata, do you think we have a way to lure them into our spaceship?"

"I possess a domain, and in my soul-burning state, I can unleash even greater power. Perhaps I can lure them onto our spaceship and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Babata immediately exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Putting aside the dangers of burning your soul, even if you did, could your soul attack deal with a seventh-tier Star Realm expert? What about eighth or ninth-tier Star Realm experts?"

"The probability of that spaceship containing a cosmic-level being is practically zero, but the possibility of it containing a ninth-order stellar being is quite high!"

Babata is right. Burning one's soul can indeed grant immense combat power instantly, but that has its limits. Ye Yang struggled to defeat Zanbi, a second-tier Hengxing cultivator, let alone a seventh-tier or higher Hengxing expert.

Ye Yang calmed down and thought for a while before saying:

"Then, Babata, calculate the situation based on the interstellar routes of the Milky Way and several surrounding star systems. When the Anzac family goes completely mad, they will not only mobilize all the ships they can control to hunt us down, but the entire Silver Blue Empire's ships will also come after us."

"Which direction is the least likely to encounter pursuers? Which direction would be the most difficult for them to deploy their ships? Which direction would be the most difficult to resupply their ships?"

"Let's fly there!"

In the universe, the space between galaxies is extremely vast, but the matter is extremely sparse. It is quite normal for there to be no stars in a region of hundreds of thousands of light-years.

Even with the means of dark universe travel, hundreds of thousands of light-years in the original universe are still 18 light-days away in the dark universe!

Even at 1.5 times the speed of light, it would take 12 days to travel, enough time for Ye Yang and his group to disappear without a trace.

Therefore, if the enemy is tracking you with a single spaceship, you absolutely cannot go to resupply.

"Ye Yang, they came from the fleet to chase us, and they might have more energy crystals than I have in stock! Have you thought about this?" Babata said with some concern.

"How long can your inventory sustain the Black Dragon spaceship at its maximum speed of 1.5 times the speed of light?" Ye Yang asked.

"At 1.5 times the speed of light, the energy consumption is quite high, and it can only last for about one year and three months. Maintaining the previous economical speed of 1.2 times the speed of light, it can fly for more than two years," Babata said helplessly. "Of course, if you have to accelerate and decelerate during that time, it may run out of energy after only a few trips."

"Give me some energy crystals," Ye Yang said.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give me some energy first, then reserve some for one more deceleration attempt," Ye Yang said earnestly. "Then you just keep sailing along the most remote route I've calculated, sailing until the end of time!"

"Trust me, I have a plan, and I won't risk my safety."

Although he didn't know what Ye Yang's plan was, Babata hesitated for a moment before reluctantly opening his crystal core storage space and giving Ye Yang an energy crystal.

"Let's just keep sailing from now on." Ye Yang closed his eyes.

"Damn it! Ye Yang, tell me what your plan is!"

Babata was a little annoyed, but seeing that Ye Yang had already closed his eyes and seemed to be engrossed in something, he didn't disturb him. Instead, he began to plan a new course of navigation with a disgruntled expression.

……

On the other side, inside the B9-class small spaceship, which had been flying at a small angle and maintaining a certain distance from the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship, Nioba was respectfully bowing in front of three huge projections.

"Nioba, you've made the mistake of arrogance!"

One of the figures said in a deep voice, "You are very clever. You discovered the identity of the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship, ascertained the target's course and destination, and made targeted arrangements to blockade the direction of Qiulong Star."

"But you are too arrogant to think that others will act according to your wishes? You must understand that people who have secrets are the most sensitive and alert, and they will be startled by the slightest disturbance."

"Forget it, it's come to this now. We can only rely on the spaceships we've deployed on the perimeter," another figure said.

"If all else fails, we still have a last resort—our family's closest D-class spaceship to the Milky Way. Although its top speed is only 1.6 times the speed of light, it should be enough to catch up with that Black Dragon Mountain X81."

Even for a family like the Anzac, Class D spaceships are extremely precious, with only three in existence, and their configurations are relatively low, but their speed is still faster than the Black Dragon Mountain X81.

"Nioba, remember, you must stick to the tail of this Black Dragon Mountain spaceship. Don't do anything else, or you'll make a mistake!" the third figure warned.

"Yes! I will obey the will of the three ancestors!" Neoba said respectfully.
