The Federation was already very familiar with the structure of the Dark Star Battleship. After all, they had captured one from the three giants many years ago.
Lei Li led his team forward as he looked at the cross-sectional view of the energy warehouse that Wang Jun had sent him!
"Leader, we've discovered 28 life signs at the corner ahead. They're armed and seem to be the enemy's personal equipment!"
"We don't have time to waste. We have to break through forcefully. No.1 and No.2, go forward and activate the front energy barrier. The rest of you, follow closely behind. Close-Combat equipment!"
"Yes!"
The entire team's formation suddenly changed. Two Universe Knights suddenly accelerated and came to the front of the formation. They raised their shields and activated a blue one-way energy barrier.
As for the rest of the team members, they gathered together and hid themselves behind the energy barrier. One after another, they pulled out the sharp blades at their waists.
After a few seconds, when the Universe Knights passed through the long tunnel and neared the corner …
Just as they had expected, the 28 Fire Empire's individual soldiers who were wearing battle armor suddenly revealed themselves. They used the individual particle beam rifles in their hands to shoot wildly toward the Universe Knights' team.
However, the personal equipment was too weak. They couldn't pose a threat to the Universe Knights' one-way energy barrier.
As the entire Universe Knight team charged into the crowd under the protection of the two team members in front, a large number of screams filled the entire tunnel.
At the same time, Blue Maple was standing in front of the core energy (zero-point energy) conversion device on the third level of the energy warehouse. He was rapidly operating something on a virtual panel!
"Warning, the main energy source is about to enter overdrive mode. It might trigger serious uncertain consequences. Please confirm!"
"Confirm operation!"
"Stop!"
Two voices rang out at the same time. However …
"The order has been confirmed. The main energy source is about to enter overdrive mode. It is estimated that it will reach the critical point in one minute. Please evacuate immediately!"
"You're one step too late!"
Blue Maple turned around and looked at the Fierce Thunder Team behind him. He grinned.
So what if you can sense it now? Without the key, you can't operate it, let alone cancel the order.
There's only one minute left. You can't do anything. You can't even …
You can't even escape. The only thing you can do is stay here and accompany me to death.
Blue Maple's smile became even more twisted when he saw that the countdown had reached 57 seconds.
"You bastard, what have you done?!"
Lei Li came in front of Blue Maple and roared furiously.
The entire floor was filled with flashing red lights. Furthermore, there was an alarm that sounded like something bad. How could Lei Li not know what was going on?
This zero-point energy device had probably been overloaded and would soon reach a critical point. Everyone present knew what would happen after the critical point was reached!
"What shall we do? What to do? What should we do? "
In his mind, the question formed by these three words repeatedly refreshed, but there was no answer.
This group of people was good at fighting, but in this situation …
That would mean that he was completely blind.
"Old Wang, I'm one step too late. The zero-point energy has been activated and is overloaded. We only have 50 seconds left at most!"
"I thought it was something big. Didn't I give you a little thing when I sent you in?"
"Hmm?"
Why did he feel that Wang Jun wasn't nervous at all?
'Wait, when I entered the energy chamber, that guy did give me a small item.'
As he thought about it, Lei Li took out an unknown palm-sized object from a multi-purpose storage device on his back.
Lei Li was confused as he looked at the item in his hand.
"What's this?"
"Hmm, this is given to every small team when we set off. It says that if we don't make it in time, and the other party has already activated the zero-point energy device, we just have to place this device on the zero-point energy crystal!"
"I can't believe that. I'll try it immediately!"
Lei Li was elated when he heard Wang Jun's words. There was always a way out. There was actually such a good item. Wang Jun was too much. Why couldn't he have made it clear when he gave it to me? I was scared for a few seconds!
He didn't hesitate any longer and immediately walked in front of the zero-point energy conversion device.
"No, don't waste your time. There's only 40 seconds left. Do you want to gain control authority in 40 seconds? Hahaha!"
At this moment, Blue Maple's maniacal laughter and mockery could be heard from the side.
"Shut him up!"
"Yes, leader!"
It was a merciless slap that sent Blue Maple flying. No one knew if he was dead.
After all, a slap from a Universe Knight's armor wasn't something that Blue Maple's armor could withstand.
However, no one cared about Blue Maple right now. Everyone was staring at Lei Li.
Lei Li stood in front of the zero-point energy conversion device and looked at the energy crystal that was inserted into the platform. He carefully placed the strange device in his hand on the device.
When it came into contact with the energy crystal, this strange device was like a magnet that was firmly attached to the outer wall of the device.
One second …
Two seconds …
Three seconds …
Nothing happened …
Was this thing reliable or not?
Lei Li was a little shaken as he stared at the zero-point energy crystal and the strange device in front of him.
At this moment, the crystal, which was originally emitting a faint orange-red radiance, suddenly shone brightly before gradually dimming.
After more than ten seconds, the orange-red light that was initially emitted disappeared. It was as if the crystal had dried up.
"Warning, warning, the main energy source has been depleted. The overload operation has stopped. Please change the main energy source as soon as possible!"
As if announcing Lei Li's success, the energy storage once again rang with a warning. This time, however, the meaning of the warning was completely different from the previous one.
"Impossible, that's impossible. What did all of you do?"
More than twenty meters away, Blue Maple was sprawled on the ground. He used his right arm to prop himself up. His face was filled with disbelief.
"What did we do?"
"I really … I really don't know how to answer this question of yours, because even I don't know!"
"But I can tell you something!"
"No one knows more about zero-point energy than the Federation!"
After regaining his confidence, Lei Li turned around and grinned at Blue Maple, who had been sent flying.
