Chapter 92 New Bang's Daily Emergency Landing

Chapter 92 New Bang's Daily Emergency Landing

"Clang—!!!"

A dull thud, with a metallic, distorted sound, was heard, as if something enormous had been forcibly attached to the hull.

Immediately afterwards, all the lights on the bridge went out.

"Sizzle—snap!"

All the instrument panels went black instantly, the air circulation system's fans stopped spinning, and the gravity generator also stopped working.

The entire ship was plunged into darkness and weightlessness.

Andy felt himself floating, but he immediately grabbed the armrest of the conductor's chair to steady himself.

"Electromagnetic pulse attack."

Andy's electronic eye switched to night vision mode and calmly made a judgment.

"And it's a contact type, it conducts directly through the outer shell."

If it's the Imperial Navy, the Inquisition, or the Greenskins, they'll unleash a volley of fire the moment they meet you, aiming to blow you to pieces.

But if they use EMP to paralyze the system right away without breaking through your hull, there's only one possibility.

They want to capture him alive!

They want the cargo and the people on the ship!

"Reboot the backup power! Quickly!"

Andy shouted in the darkness.

A few seconds later, the dim red light of the emergency lights came on.

Xiao Liu's voice came back online, but it sounded like there was obvious static, clearly indicating that she had also been shocked by what had just happened.

"Radar reboot complete — Optical sensor calibration —"

"Target confirmed."

The main screen lit up, revealing the attacker's true identity.

Those were several pieces of "meteorite" that had adhered to the side armor of the New Bang.

But at this moment, the outer layer of rock camouflage has been peeled away, revealing the grotesque metal structure inside.

Several enormous, spider-like mechanical claws were deeply embedded in the armor plates, releasing continuous interference pulses.

It's a starship hook disguised as a meteorite!

In the distant void, two strangely shaped spaceships deactivated their cloaking mode.

Their hulls are long and slender, covered with spikes and blades, and painted in an unsettling dark purple and black.

Dark Eldar, "Corsair" class frigate.

These guys are the most disgusting predators and the most sadistic perverts in the galaxy.

They do not believe in chaos, but are more evil than chaos; their attacks on ships are never for destruction, but for capturing slaves.

In their hands, death is the merciful release.

Because they would take the victims back to Gamor, that dark city, and subject them to living torture for hundreds or even thousands of years in order to prolong the dissipation of their own souls.

"Looks like our luck really isn't good." Father Zor stared at the screen, his mechanical arms trembling. "The enemy is Eldar pirates—we're doomed."

"If they catch me, I'd rather self-destruct my core right now."

"Shut up, you're not dead yet." Andy interrupted his dejected remarks. "Six, can the engine still run?"

"Main engine output dropped to 40%, and attitude control nozzles — most of them were locked."

Xiao Liu reported: "Two enemy ships are releasing tractor beams, trying to tow us away."

"What about the subspace engine?"

"It's barely usable, but—"

"No buts, jump!"

Andy gave the order.

Roger objected: "But we haven't calculated the coordinates yet! And those big metal lumps are still hanging on the hull!"

"Never mind all that, just start it! Start it, start it!"

Andy knew very well that fighting the Dark Eldar in the real world was suicidal.

Their ships are extremely fast and equipped with dark matter weapons and void mines; transport ships like the New Bond simply cannot outrun them.

The only way to survive is through the warp!

"Forced charging in progress — Geller force field activated —"

"Jump countdown, 3, 2, 1!"

"Buzz!!!"

The new ship let out a painful groan.

The subspace engine forcibly tore open the curtain of reality.

A tremendous suction force instantly enveloped the ship, dragging it, along with the few mechanical grappling hooks that stubbornly clung to the hull, into a bizarre and fantastical alternate dimension.

Within subspace.

Purple and blue energy streams frantically washed over the shield of the New Bond.

Because it was a forced jump without a pre-set course, the spaceship was like a withered leaf tumbling in a storm.

"Warning! High-dimensional tracking signal detected!"

Xiao Liu's voice became urgent.

"They've caught up!"

On the holographic projection, two red dots were closely positioned behind and to the side of the New Bang.

Strangely, the two red dots did not enter subspace, but remained in a "parallel" state.

Although the Dark Eldar live in the Webpath city of Ghomor in the Warp, they have an extreme fear of the Warp itself.

Because Slaanesh, also known as the "Thirsty Lady," is constantly watching their souls.

As long as they dare to put their feet into the Warp, Slaanesh will follow the scent and devour their souls.

Therefore, the Dark Eldar never use the Warp Engine; they travel through the Web, a "safe tunnel" created by the Old Ones and located between the Warp and the real world.

At this moment, the two pirate ships did not actually enter subspace, but were speeding side by side in the tributary of the Netway, which closely followed the New Bond's route.

Although they couldn't come over, they kept the location of the New Bang locked.

As soon as the New Bond dares to return to the real universe, they will immediately tear open the net gate and rush out to capture people.

It's like you're speeding down a highway, and a robber is driving alongside you on an overpass, just waiting for you to exit the highway!

"Shake them off!"

Andy gripped the handrail tightly, enduring the violent jolts.

"Sixth Brother, use your old method! Surf!"

"learn!"

Xiao Liu once again demonstrated her terrifying computing power as a subspace sextant.

Although she lacks the ability to detect beyond dimensions and cannot see where the network is, she can calculate the flow trend of energy in subspace.

A massive subspace energy tide appeared ahead, resembling a purple wave tens of thousands of kilometers high.

Normal ships would avoid this thing, because hitting it would result in the destruction of the ship and loss of life.

But the Newcomer did not slow down; instead, it crashed head-on into the ship.

"Hold on tight!"

In the instant before impact, Xiao Liu abruptly adjusted the frequency of the Geller force field and the ship's attitude.

The new ship wasn't smashed; instead, it was violently bounced off the tangent of the giant wave.

An extremely sharp turn!

The immense overload caused the ship's hull to crack!

The Dark Eldar grappling hooks hanging on the ship's side finally succumbed to the centrifugal force.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several loud explosions.

The cable connecting the grappling hook snapped with a loud noise, presumably along with a large piece of armor plate that was torn off.

The nasty parasite was flung into the depths of the subspace and instantly engulfed by an energy storm.

The Dark Eldar ships hiding in the net tunnels simply couldn't perform such physics-defying maneuvers.

They could only watch helplessly as the Newborn vanished from the radar in an instant, disappearing into another chaotic subspace tributary.

"Target lost."

Xiao Liu's voice was tired, but there was also a hint of pride.

"We've shaken them off."

"call----"

Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could catch his breath, the red warning lights blinded him again.

"Warning! Main engine overheating and shutdown!"

"Warning! Attitude control system offline!"

"Warning! Captured by an unknown gravity well!"

That sharp turn just now, while impressive, completely exhausted the ship's remaining lifespan.

The reactor that was just repaired is leaking again, and coolant is spraying everywhere.

The NewBang lost power and, propelled by the previous subspace tide, crashed through the curtain of reality.

"boom!"

The spaceship returned to the real universe.

But this is not the endless deep space, but the edge of a planet's atmosphere.

The immense gravitational force instantly seized the powerless steel behemoth and pulled it toward the ground.

"Emergency landing! Prepare for emergency landing!"

Andy looked out the window at the ever-growing, yellowish-brown planet and roared in exasperation.

What kind of situation is this?

The boat was just repaired and flew for less than two days, and now it's going to crash again??

Does Shinbang have some kind of close relationship with the earth? Why does it always like to burrow into the soil?!

"Calculating landing point —"

Xiao Liu quickly broadcast the data.

Atmosphere composition: nitrogen, oxygen, and large amounts of industrial waste gas.

"Surface environment: desert, wasteland, heavily polluted."

"A large number of high-energy reaction sources have been detected. That is—" Xiao Liu paused, seemingly checking the database, "—it's a land-based warship, a massive land-based warship."

Andy's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Desert, wasteland, and massive landships.

And this damn coordinates.

He knew where he was.

【Zais】.

A very famous, even infamous, world in the Pagan Stars.

The people here have been fighting for 10,000 years. In order to survive the brutal war and harsh environment, they built their cities on huge tracked chassis, turning them into land-going ships that are several kilometers, tens of kilometers, or even larger.

There is no peace on this planet, only endless mobile warfare, the survival of the fittest, cannons, and giant ships.

For the Shinbang to make an emergency landing in such a godforsaken place is like falling into a wolf's den!

"Everyone! Take a stance to withstand the impact!"

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, tie themselves to a chair!"

Andy gave the order loudly.

The spaceship shook violently, and the red light generated by the friction between the outer shell and the atmosphere shone on everyone's faces.

Gravity pressed everyone firmly into their seats, making it difficult to even move a finger.

"Boom—"

'

The Newbang, trailing a long plume of black smoke, crashed into the cratered and track-marked wasteland of Zais, like a giant meteorite.

The earth was trembling.

With a deafening roar, the ill-fated starship carved a ten-kilometer-long trench in the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Finally, it stopped.

The bridge was a mess, with only the emergency lights still stubbornly flashing.

Andy unbuckled his seatbelt and shook his slightly dizzy head. Although he didn't have semicircular canals, the vibration sensors were overloaded.

"All departments, please report casualties!"

"They're not dead, are they?"

A series of coughs and groans came through the communication channel, but it seemed that everyone was still alive.

The T-9000 exoskeleton and previous shock resistance training saved their lives.

"Sage—" Gamma-9's weak voice came, "We—we seem to be surrounded."

"

Andy looked at the main screen.

Although most of the probes were broken, one of them was still usable.

In the scene, the yellow sand that had filled the sky dissipated.

On the horizon, several massive black shadows are slowly approaching, with huge tracks at the bottom and rows of cannons and chimneys at the top.

It spotted the "prey" that had fallen from the sky and was opening its blood-red mouth, ready to come and get a share of the spoils.
