Chapter 493: The Mystery of the Storm and Hidden Clues
Lin Yu led his team through the energy storm with great difficulty, each dodge of the turbulent energy currents feeling like a brush with death. He stared intently at the chaotic data constantly jumping on the spaceship's instrument panel, his brows furrowed in a deep frown. "The energy fluctuations of this storm are too strange, they don't seem to be naturally occurring. Something must be behind this," Lin Yu murmured, his voice filled with certainty and vigilance.
After rescuing a group of trapped residents, Lin Yu and his team settled them in the fleet's temporary shelter. He turned to Ellie and said, "You stay here and take care of everyone. I'll take a few people to the storm's core area to check it out; maybe we can find the key clues controlling the storm." A hint of worry flashed in Ellie's eyes, but she nodded firmly, "Be careful, and keep communications open."
Lin Yu selected several experienced team members and piloted a specially modified reconnaissance spaceship capable of withstanding powerful energy impacts, once again plunging into the depths of the storm. The closer they got to the core, the more powerful the energy storm became, and the spaceship's hull glowed red from the friction, emitting creaking sounds as it struggled under the strain.
Suddenly, a massive energy beam swept through the storm, nearly striking the reconnaissance ship. Lin Yu jerked the control stick, and the ship narrowly avoided a collision. "Everyone, be careful! The danger here is beyond imagination. Stay alert at all times," Lin Yu warned his team through the communication channel.
Just then, the spaceship's sensors detected an unusual signal source located in a valley beneath the storm's core. Lin Yu immediately adjusted the course and flew towards the signal source. As they approached the valley, they discovered a strange vortex forming within the energy storm, with all the energy converging towards its center.
“There must be some secret hidden down here,” Lin Yu said, piloting the spaceship slowly downwards. After entering the valley, they saw a huge energy device surrounded by complex lines and runes, constantly emitting energy pulses that resonated with the energy of the storm.
Lin Yu and his team cautiously approached the energy device. Just as they were about to examine it closely, a group of mechanical guards suddenly surged out from all directions. These mechanical guards were agile, radiating a ghostly blue energy, and their weapons gleamed coldly.
"Looks like this is the defensive force protecting this device." Lin Yu quickly drew his pistol. "Everyone, prepare for battle!" The team members drew their weapons and engaged in fierce firefights with the mechanical guards. Laser beams crisscrossed the valley, and explosions echoed throughout.
Lin Yu discovered that these mechanical guards' attack patterns were very regular. He dodged their attacks while observing their movement patterns. After a fierce battle, he finally found an opening in the mechanical guards' attacks. "Concentrate your firepower on their joints, that's their weak point!" Lin Yu shouted.
The team members immediately adjusted their attack direction, concentrating their firepower on the mechanical guards' joints. Under the powerful attack, the mechanical guards fell to the ground, losing their fighting ability. After dealing with the mechanical guards, Lin Yu and his team began to carefully examine the energy device.
Analysis of the runes on the device's surface revealed a striking resemblance to technology previously used by the Dark Organization. Lin Yu's heart sank; his earlier suspicions were correct—the Dark Organization indeed still had remnants operating in the shadows. He continued his investigation and discovered that the device seemed to be receiving some kind of instruction from the depths of space.
“It seems we need to continue tracing this signal source to uncover the truth behind this storm.” Lin Yu said, taking out his communicator to inform Ellie and the fleet of his discovery. However, the moment he connected the call, a piercing static noise came through the communication channel, followed by a cold voice: “You think you can easily ruin our plans? You’re too naive!”
