Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 219 Escape

At this time, Chen Ming could already see the civil aerospace airport where a spaceship was landing in the distance in the taxi.

And at this time, he happened to see Song Pu mentioning him on the terminal.

So he said directly in the channel: "I am approaching the airport. I saw the document on the terminal saying that there is a safe house in the surrounding colony. I should be able to stay there."

Song Pu reminded: "Be careful. The location of the safe house may also be discovered. If you find anything unusual, run away."

"I'm already arranging a special operations team to infiltrate the past. I need you to find a way to hide for a day or two."

"understood."

Chen Ming replied quickly and continued to ask on the terminal: "How is the progress of the arrest of Cheng Xinghai?"

"We have just locked her location and are implementing an arrest plan. She is located near the junction of our territory and the government-occupied area. It is not far from your side. It is the kind that can be encountered after passing a few waterways. .”

"Have you found her?"

"Correct."

A floating car floating in the distance suddenly appeared with the tail flame of something being fired.

Chen Ming had no intention of paying attention to him, and was still thinking about how to safely reach the airport behind the police defense line.

The taxi, which originally still had a shell, liquefied along with the metallic liquid wrapped around Chen Ming, rising into the sky on one side.

But the opponent obviously didn't give him this chance.

Chen Ming immediately took complete control of the taxi controlled remotely by the taxi company.

It's a pity that due to material limitations, this is the most he can do with his spiritual power now.

But at the moment when the second warning sounded.

It was a miniature missile.

It can help Chen Ming obtain a bird's-eye view of the entire area near the airport. Together with the small robot on the ground, Chen Ming can quickly plan the most suitable road.

The little remaining material formed a flying robot and flew straight to the sky.

A huge liquid metal vortex composed of metallic liquid was suspended in the air in front of the launch trajectory of the micro-missile.

Many reinforcements belonging to the local police appeared in the area that was originally empty.

Looking at the police aerial vehicle gradually appearing in the distant sky, Chen Ming felt that he had to take the final step by himself.

Chen Ming didn't have many choices. He could only pile up materials and weaken the mobility to a certain extent to make the power armor more protective.

Chen Ming cursed secretly, and his spiritual energy was instantly activated.

It took just a few dozen seconds for Chen Ming's taxi to stop.

The capabilities of both sides in this simulated battle are about the same. Since they have locked onto Cheng Xinghai, their opponent...

And when Chen Ming tried to open the car door, it couldn't be opened at all, and there was only a permission prompt to lock it.

However, he did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, he squatted in the back seat of the taxi where it could be covered by the door. At the same time, he used the materials inside the taxi to rub a micro robot and placed it at the bottom of the taxi, observing the situation outside.

It would not be possible for Chen Ming to be directly penetrated by a single encounter and hurt Chen Ming himself.

At this time, Chen Ming no longer expected the taxi to continue taking him forward, so he quickly transformed all the materials inside the taxi except the outer shell into metallic liquid to surround him, so that he could become what Chen Ming wanted at any time. Let them be something.

Chen Ming was almost one step away from the airport at this time, but at some point, the sparse traffic flow around him had completely disappeared.

Most of it once again wrapped around Chen Ming's body, which had lost the protection of the taxi, completely wrapping Chen Ming up, forming a suit of power armor that looked a bit bloated.

Although these mechanical bodies may be able to help Chen Ming, how to get close is a big problem.

Song Pu reacted instantly as soon as he answered.

"What the hell?"

Chen Ming controlled the power armor which was thicker than before and rushed out of the smoke.

After all, the current battle seems not to kill him directly, but to capture him alive.

Chen Ming thought the police would give him two more warnings.

Although the taxi is still driving forward, its speed is slowly decreasing.

Countless metal liquids flew out in all directions under the impact of the explosion, but were instantly controlled by Chen Ming's spiritual energy to return.

Moreover, what Chen Ming originally wanted to do was wait for the police robot to approach and arrest him.

The robot Chen Ming left under the taxi instantly locked onto the appearance of the launched object and sent back the photo.

But it's enough.

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw an aerial vehicle suddenly approaching his direction, and at the same time shouted to him: "Disarm and surrender immediately! Otherwise we will use lethal force!"

However, the taxi was still allowed to slow down slowly according to the original order sent by the taxi company.

I'm afraid that if someone didn't remind me later, I'd just do something cruel.

The direction of the airport has been completely blocked, a layer of isolation tape has been pulled up, and a large number of humanoid police robots completely surrounded Chen Ming within a few minutes.

While the smoke and dust from the explosion have not completely dissipated.

Almost at the moment Chen Ming set up the vortex, the miniature missile arrived in front of him.

The police robots that were originally surrounding Chen Ming and the direction in the middle of the airport immediately took action and raised the stun guns on their arms.

The sharp electrode needles penetrated directly into the limbs of Chen Ming's powered armor. The instantly increased voltage directly damaged the circuits inside the armor, causing black smoke to appear.

After all, this is just a no-name power armor made of taxi materials. Not to mention the fully improved biomass armor, even the prototype Locust armor of biological armor is completely incomparable.

Fortunately, the electrode needles fired by the police robot's stun gun do not mainly cause physical damage.

Just the damage to the circuit is nothing to Chen Ming.

After his psychic energy instantly repaired the damage and tore off the wires connecting the electrode needles, Chen Ming continued to stride towards the police robots surrounding the airport defense line like nothing happened.

As long as he has access to a robot, Chen Ming can get the capital to escape.

At this moment, the aerial vehicle that had launched a micro-missile suddenly started to move again. The shells on both sides of its body suddenly opened, and several micro-missile launchers popped out.

In Chen Ming's scolding eyes, dozens of micro-missiles shot at Chen Ming with tail flames that pierced the sky.

The power armor covering Chen Ming's body instantly liquefied again, and the swirling metallic liquid once again formed a metallic vortex in the air.

The flight trajectory of the launched micro missiles was rolled up, throwing them all away.

Continuous explosions occurred around Chen Ming, but none of them could really hurt Chen Ming.

The smoke and dust generated by the explosion even provided Chen Ming with cover again.

And when Chen Ming broke through the smoke and dust again wearing power armor, he was only one step away from the police robot.

However, the police robots no longer used non-lethal force here, and directly took out their standard electromagnetic rifles.

The hail of bullets composed of electromagnetic bombs instantly covered every part of Chen Ming's body.

But except for Chen Ming, who stretched out his hands on the two fatal parts of his head and chest, he still carried the firepower forward like a normal person.

All metal projectiles that hit the powered armor were reversely controlled by Chen Ming and became part of the powered armor, increasing the strength of the armor.

When Chen Ming's hand grabbed the head of a police robot, the robot melted instantly.

The metallic liquid wrapped around Chen Ming's power armor along his arms.

As it flows, the materials and structure of the entire power armor are being continuously optimized by Chen Ming.

The excess metallic liquid was suspended directly around Chen Ming like a shield, protecting him from any external attacks.

Chen Ming also took advantage of the situation and controlled the two police robots closest to him.

The two robots did not melt. Instead, they turned back immediately after being controlled. They raised their guns at friendly forces and instantly destroyed the control centers of several police robots.

The electromagnetic weapon is not very effective when attacking Chen Ming, but it is very accurate when attacking friendly forces.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the police robot's betrayal, Chen Ming took the opportunity to run around the police defense line.

While controlling the robots to create more chaos, they are also using the bodies of fallen military robots to continuously optimize this set of power armor.

He quickly made the best model he could with the materials he could currently obtain.

All the excess materials were made into micro flying robots by Chen Ming.

Some of them continued to monitor the situation around the airport overhead, while the other part was targeting Chen Ming and still approaching rapidly, as if they were planning to do something.

After blocking more police units that wanted to get closer to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming rushed into the airport alone, wearing a much lighter but significantly stronger power armor.

And the moment he entered the airport where a large number of spaceships were parked, it was too late to evacuate them all.

It was like he had entered the steel jungle in his consciousness and returned to his home court.

Psionics were no longer restricted at all, and several spaceships were kneaded in his hands like clay.

Even if the civilian spacecraft itself has many castrations, its structure is at least intact.

As long as Chen Ming doesn't think about pursuing armor strength, other functions can be achieved by relying on his own understanding of spacecraft design.

If that didn't work, Chen Ming still had the overclocking technology he learned from Zuo Jing that he hadn't used for a while.

Let civilian ships also exert the strength of military ships.

But Chen Ming didn't do that now. He was just constantly in contact with the spacecraft docked here, and constantly polymerizing the melted metal liquid.

During this process, Chen Ming actually discovered several military spacecraft that looked like civilian spacecraft at this civilian airport.

In the computers inside these spacecrafts, Chen Ming instantly found the routes behind these spacecrafts.

The targets are all in the galaxies actually controlled by the rebels. It seems that these spacecraft are intended to be used as spy ships.

Chen Ming conveniently recorded the models of these spaceships, and asked the robots flying in the sky to take some high-definition close-ups of these spaceships.

Later, he might be able to find similar spacecraft in rebel-controlled areas.

Immediately, Chen Ming unceremoniously took control of all these military spaceships, while leaving one that was not melted but placed in place. Chen Ming doesn't need this spaceship now. If it stays here, it might have other uses in the future.

The remaining spaceships all merged into the liquid metal ball that was nearly a hundred meters in diameter in the air.

At this time, Chen Ming happened to discover through the robot in the air that there were new reinforcements about two or three kilometers away from the airport.

In addition to the police, Chen Ming even saw some shuttle boats and spaceships that were obviously government troops.

It looked like he couldn't stay at the airport any longer.

Chen Ming raised his head.

The giant liquid metal ball in the sky suddenly fell to the ground.

Countless metallic liquids finally seemed to be discovered by Newton and began to flow normally following the laws of physics.

And in the center where the metallic liquid was still wrapped just now, the figure of a destroyer appeared there.

This is an unspecified destroyer that Chen Ming made using the spacecraft at the airport, but the design was based on part of the heavy rain and part of the stardust.

So its effect is also very obvious.

However, Chen Ming also noticed at this time that there were many civilians trapped in the airport outside the defense line deployed by the police, with expressions of fear on their faces.

As well as those police officers standing in front of the civilians, with firm faces but unable to completely conceal the same fear in their eyes.

When it comes to dealing with psykers, there is no difference between humans and humans.

Although Chen Ming knew that this was a simulation, after thinking about it, he had no plans to deal a harsh blow to the police here before leaving.

He simply turned around and walked straight onto the spacecraft.

Before the local government had time to surround him, the spacecraft took off and flew into the sky.

No one on the ground dared to stop such a destroyer.

Chen Ming successfully escaped the planet's gravity and entered the universe.

Next, he only needs to go to the edge of the galaxy, and he can directly use hyperspace to return to the area occupied by the rebels.

What Chen Ming found strange was that after he took off, the local government did not send a follow-up spacecraft to pursue him.

Entering hyperspace

If the reason why the spacecraft was not sent directly from the ground was because the government thought it was just arresting or killing a person, then the reason why the spacecraft was not sent to track it in space...

Chen Ming picked up the special terminal.

Sure enough, Song Pu mentioned this above. This was an arrangement made by the rebel informant after sacrificing himself, which delayed the tracking time of the government forces.

Originally, Chen Ming was worried about how to get there safely from the edge of the galaxy after leaving the planet with limited logistical supplies.

Now it seems that this issue does not need to be considered by him.

That's the benefit of having teammates.

Chen Ming's spaceship quickly arrived at the edge of the galaxy, and successfully entered hyperspace after starting the hyperspace channel engine.

It was only then that the Galaxy Patrol reluctantly tracked it down, eating the spacecraft's exhaust and following it into hyperspace.

It was this ten-second lag that made it too late for the government's pursuers to track Chen Ming the moment they entered hyperspace.

Chen Ming is already in an absolutely safe position.

Even if there is a cruiser in the patrol, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, the hyperspace channel jump engine developed by Chen Ming himself has been modified by him into the spacecraft he is riding on.

In the confused eyes of everyone observing this scene, Chen Ming's spaceship disappeared into hyperspace like a cruiser leaping.

Someone in Cheng Xinghai's terminal channel immediately said: "How can a destroyer of his be able to jump?!"

Before anyone else could reply, Cheng Xinghai suddenly said in the terminal: "Don't ask, asking means psychic energy."

As soon as Cheng Xinghai spoke, someone immediately said to her: "Reply at this time, are you safe?"

"Well, the spaceship I'm on has just set sail, and the rebels have no chance to kill me."

"So smooth?"

"Yes."

Just a few minutes before Chen Ming was blocked outside the airport.

Cheng Xinghai happened to arrive at her airport a little earlier than Chen Ming.

After some makeup, she no longer looked like the lively girl she had been before, but instead looked like an ordinary person close to thirty years old.

She easily relied on the multiple identities given by her spy status to buy the ticket without anyone noticing.

Cheng Xinghai's psychic energy can directly improve her intelligence and thinking ability, rather than simply increasing her thinking speed.

Therefore, she discovered the problem with her identity as soon as she learned that she was in the territory of the rebels and was about to meet with people.

While immediately notifying her teammates to come to the rescue, she also immediately chose to retreat.

So she finally arrived at the airport just a little earlier than Chen Ming.

Before the siege of the rebels came, they successfully boarded a civilian spaceship that belonged to a purely neutral force that was independent of the government forces and rebels and was about to go to the government-controlled areas.

A war is a war, and a civil war is a civil war.

Before issues such as treason completely arise.

The exchange of civilian spacecraft between government and rebel areas is not completely prohibited.

It is impossible for the rebels to ask a neutral force's normally operating spacecraft to suddenly stop.

After all, for this force, if they really follow the rebels' requirements, it is very likely that their industries in the areas actually controlled by the government forces will be completely sealed.

As long as the rebel leaders are not fools, they will not be able to take the initiative to push a large neutral force to the opposite side.

And now that the top leader of the rebels is Song Pu, this situation is even more unlikely to happen.

Therefore, this gave Cheng Xinghai a chance to escape.

There is another reason besides the fact that the rebels have no means to make the force that operates civilian spacecraft listen to their demands.

Even the rebels will never and absolutely cannot take action against such a ship carrying a large number of civilians.

The reason lies within the rebels themselves.

The rebels themselves are not orthodox, so they must receive support from civilian forces in the face of attacks by government forces.

If the rebels dare to directly destroy civilian ships, the military morale of the entire rebel army and the original support from the outside world will disappear amid a large number of civilian casualties.

Losing one Cheng Xinghai, in exchange for erasing the rebels' biggest advantage, may be a gain for the government forces.

Good people will be criticized for doing bad things, while bad people will just treat bad things as normal.

This is the biggest difference between government forces and rebels now.

Popular support is the foundation of the rebels.

However, the restriction brought by the people's support is an invisible restriction that the forces on the outside are weaker than the government forces, but they are superior to the government forces in terms of development potential and support from other forces behind them.

The general information about the rebels and government forces had already been analyzed by Cheng Xinghai's teammates during her escape, so this was the confidence for her to leave safely.

When I saw my teammates discussing Chen Ming's last operation just now.

Cheng Xinghai suddenly had an idea and asked: "By the way, didn't Chen Ming cause sabotage at the civilian airport? Send this paragraph and question the rebels."

Someone immediately replied: "That's not good. There happen to be a few ships used by spies at that airport. If you tell them, it will muddy the waters for the other side."

"Okay, that's okay."

Cheng Xinghai didn't say much. Anyway, this kind of large-scale overall strategic command was not something she was good at. She just had to do what she should do.

At this moment, someone suddenly sent another message to the terminal in Cheng Xinghai's hand.

"I have bad news here. Chen Ming's ability to make the destroyer jump is not the result of his psychic powers."

Cheng Xinghai immediately asked: "What is that?"

"Chen Ming developed a technology called 'Stabilized Hyperspace Channel Jump Engine'."

"As you all know, I work part-time at the laboratory directly under the Fourteenth Army Corps. There is a patented technology that is being tested and is said to have been obtained by Lieutenant General Bai."

"I was originally thinking about how Lieutenant General Bai knew this stuff, so I asked, but it turned out that Chen Ming came up with the technology and asked Lieutenant General Bai to help develop it."

"In reality, it may take time to promote this kind of equipment, but in the simulation, the rebel fleet has lost seven or eighty-eight, and all of them have to build new ones."

"As long as you give it time, all the rebel spacecraft will have the ability to jump in hyperspace, and for the cruiser, this system is independent of its own jump system. You understand that this is What do you mean?"

The terminal communication channel suddenly fell into silence. No one expected that Chen Ming alone could make such a huge difference in the battlefield situation.

After a long silence, someone finally broke the silence and said, "This failure is a bit of a pity. His reaction was already slow due to lack of experience."

"It's okay, think on the bright side, as long as Cheng Xinghai can come back, at least we won't lose."

"The rebels are still at a disadvantage and the war has just begun. We still have a chance."

While Cheng Xinghai encouraged each other.

Chen Ming also just escaped from the hyperspace jump and came to an unmanned galaxy belonging to the government forces.

He said in the terminal: "I am safe for now."

"it is good."

Song Pu replied immediately, and then sent another one.

"But there is bad news, Cheng Xinghai ran away."
