Peng Ran Xin Dong

Chapter 394 Seeking the Mother Ship

The Va Lou Allied Forces, as the core defense of the "Xiang Beast" mothership, were always the most anticipated.

Especially the commander-in-chief of the Va Lou Allied Forces, Peng Pu Yu Jin, who was revered wherever he went.

At this moment, Peng Pu Yu Jin was seated in the center of the mothership's main operation hall, legs crossed, leisurely spinning his finger spinner.

He was not the captain of the "Xiang Beast" mothership, yet he enjoyed the captain's privileges and could freely enter and exit the operation hall. This was also due to his marital relationship with the captain.

Just as he was indulging in the joy of having driven away the Immortal Xia God of War, a fair and smooth hand appeared before him, placing a glass of red wine on the table in front of him.

Peng Pu Yu Jin looked up in confusion. A tall, slender, and extremely beautiful woman stood elegantly, holding a bottle of premium red wine.

"You... which allied force are you from?" Peng Pu Yu Jin asked in surprise.

In this "Sky City," female soldiers were as rare as phoenix feathers, and he knew almost all of them.

But he couldn't recall a lady as stunning and extraordinary as the one before him.

The woman smiled, her expression intelligent with a hint of charm, and said with a touch of shyness, "Commander Peng Pu, I am a new recruit who recently boarded. I've long heard of your excellent character and consideration for your subordinates. I've admired you for a long time and came specifically to visit."

This made Peng Pu Yu Jin both surprised and delighted. "There's such a good thing!?"

The woman shyly walked to the door of the operation hall, glancing back at him with a smile, her fingers subtly beckoning.

Peng Pu Yu Jin picked up the red wine and downed it in one gulp, adjusted his trousers, and nonchalantly followed her out with a serious demeanor.

Shortly after he left, his wife, the ship's captain, returned to the command center. She glanced at the wine glass with remnants of red wine and immediately became suspicious.

Grabbing a soldier at random, the female captain questioned, "Where is Peng Pu Yu Jin!!"

The soldier stammered, "Captain! I, I, I... I saw Commander Peng Pu follow a new female recruit out..."

The female captain instantly became furious and stomped out in pursuit.

Gu Ya slightly raised his Black Star military cap, revealing a sinister grin, and walked towards the operation console.

He placed his left hand on the table and, as if no one else were present, circled the arc-shaped operation console, over a hundred meters long.

Hei Yang rapidly analyzed the operating procedures of the "Xiang Beast" mothership, flowing into Gu Ya's brain like a gentle stream.

"Who permitted you to be here?" a female mothership operator asked softly.

Gu Ya smiled faintly and said, "Because of you..."

"???" As the female operator tilted her head in confusion, Gu Ya had already injected her with anesthetic. She then fell heavily into his arms.

With a mere turn and a sit, Gu Ya had already placed the female operator into the storage cabinet beneath the operation console, without arousing any suspicion.

A moment later, the door to the operation hall opened, and a tall, handsome man, wiping his hands with a white handkerchief, stood in the captain's position.

"According to Black Star Imperial Cipher No. 77637, I, effective immediately, shall replace You Zhen Tan Lin as the captain of this vessel," the man said elegantly and solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a very formal electronic document appeared on the holographic screens of all the operators.

The large black eight-pointed star header indicated that this document was of the highest confidentiality, only to be issued by the Supreme Commander of the Black Star Empire.

With hardly any suspicion, everyone accepted this sudden change as fact and returned to their work.

Gu Ya almost couldn't suppress a laugh, "Mu Ye Xing Chen truly lives up to being from the Supreme Commander's lineage. His every move is so fitting, no, he *is* it."

Mu Ye Xing Chen looked at Gu Ya's trembling back and inwardly laughed helplessly.

Earlier, he had disguised himself as a new female recruit to lure Peng Pu Yu Jin. He and Gu Ya had worked in tandem to lure the captain and Peng Pu to a secluded place and kill them.

Now, the couple had lost their lives together, their blood merged, and they would never be separated again.

"I declare! In ten minutes, the mothership will change course and head for the capital city of the Black Star Empire! Great Black Star City!!" Mu Ye Xing Chen said confidently and majestically, throwing open his black cloak.

"Without my command, and for no reason whatsoever, no one is allowed to leave the mothership!"

"Yes!"

"Understood, Captain."

"Understood. I will issue the notification immediately."

A dozen or so mothership operators immediately got busy. Thirty minutes later, the mothership changed course to the northeast, flying towards Great Black Star City.

Mu Ye Xing Chen continued, "Next, we have the second top-secret document, which requires everyone to observe in detail."

Just then, the second "Black Star Top Secret Document" compiled by Gu Ya appeared on everyone's holographic screens:

[Top Secret Exercise Mission, Destination: Great Black Star City]

[Mission: Impact the Supreme Commander's Building in Great Black Star City]

[Note: This is an exercise! This is an exercise! This is an exercise!]

[Only those who see it shall know; others are strictly forbidden from any communication. Violators will be tried under the highest military law.]

Everyone's brows furrowed, and their expressions turned grim.

Mu Ye Xing Chen quickly explained, "Please rest assured, colleagues. This is merely an exercise! It is designed to simulate emergency military response measures in the event of an invasion of the capital city! The Black Star Empire would never send you to your deaths."

"Currently, ordinary citizens in Great Black Star City, including some low-ranking officers, are still unaware of the exercise content."

"As per the Black Star Supreme Commander's requirements, this exercise must be: realistic! shocking! grand! disastrous!"

"Everything will be handled according to the highest wartime specifications! At that time, you will receive countless notifications demanding you cease operations, recall, warn, threaten, and destroy!"

"Without my command, absolutely no replies! Nor any unauthorized operations!!"

"Violators! I will personally execute them by firing squad!!"

After Mu Ye Xing Chen finished his impassioned speech, he swept his cloak open and confidently sat in the captain's chair, speaking loudly, "I will complete this exercise mission with you all!!"

Saying this, he placed his service pistol steadily on the table, crossed his legs elegantly, his face calm and unconcerned.

Gu Ya secretly gave a thumbs-up. If he hadn't known it was all an act, Gu Ya would have been easily fooled by Mu Ye Xing Chen.

Mu Ye Xing Chen, with his composed expression, inwardly pondered how he and Gu Ya, both present, could escape.

But Gu Ya wasn't planning to drag it out. This was just an act, and he had a mission. He couldn't afford to delay.

Gu Ya casually stood up and said with a playful grin, "Alright, colleagues! Look here! I have an announcement to make!!"

Everyone first looked back at Mu Ye Xing Chen. Upon receiving his consent, they all turned their attention to Gu Ya.

"Calm down! Please listen to what I have to say with utmost composure!"

"For the sake of the Great Black Star Empire, you can go and die~ hee hee!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ya suddenly turned into an afterimage and dashed behind each person, firing precise and fatal shots into the heads of every operator.

Of course, he didn't forget the female operator he had hidden beneath the operation console.

Mu Ye Xing Chen's superb acting was like a seed of command that made everyone obey, so much so that they accepted death calmly with almost no resistance.

The prerequisite for tactical success is to stabilize morale.

With so many people, if Gu Ya had rashly started a massacre, it was possible that a few quick-witted individuals might have triggered the alarm.

The reason they went through this elaborate process was to prevent any unforeseen complications.

As Gu Ya and Mu Ye Xing Chen welded shut the doors of the command hall and entered the hangar,

All the Black Star soldiers had retreated into the safety rooms, tightly fastened their seatbelts, sat steadily in their seats, drinking champagne and eating desserts, awaiting the exercise.

Not having to do heavy labor, and yet participating in the empire's most confidential and high-specification exercise, everyone felt extremely happy and honored.

Gu Ya wasn't worried about tactical failure at all. He had already embedded a self-destruct program in the control system.

If the mothership deviated from its course for any reason, or was even forcibly pushed off course, the more than ten types of energy batteries would self-destruct at the fastest possible speed.

Gu Ya was confident that this would be the biggest and most spectacular fireworks display in the world.

Just as the two of them were preparing to leave the mothership,

The mothership's hull trembled slightly, followed by a series of dull explosions transmitting from outside the cabin into the interior.

Before Gu Ya could react to what was happening,

From several hundred meters away, five terrifying cracks were suddenly torn open in the thick steel outer wall!

The wind generated by the air pressure difference instantly swept through the hangar, and dozens of Black Star mechs were sucked towards the cracks, blocking the gaps.

But soon, larger and more cracks were torn open, and hundreds of Black Star enemy aircraft were instantly sucked out of the hangar!

Black Cage mechs began to drill in from the outside.
