Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342
In the starry sky, a small shuttle was speeding towards its distant destination.
This shuttle was designed for individual use and was extremely fast, but offered little in the way of protection. An ordinary person would have perished inside it before even reaching their destination.
Even Du You inside was feeling waves of discomfort. A tier five Professional riding in such a shuttle might truly vomit. But this kind of barebones shuttle had one advantage: its speed was sufficiently high.
With the aid of a special engine that Du You could not fathom, the shuttle could even perform spatial teleportation, albeit each teleportation generated immense pressure. Of course, the fluctuation caused by this spatial teleportation was significant, and the movement sluggish. Using this method to launch a surprise attack on an enemy’s war base was absolutely impossible.
However, Du You was not aiming to attack the enemy’s base this time.
On this return trip, Du You had not let his domain’s people know of his arrival. In their eyes, the lord of Harry Asteroid, who was evading the scrutiny of other major powers, was hiding somewhere and dared not return.
Ke Jisi had prepared this shuttle for him in advance; how she thought of it, Du You could only guess—she probably had it planned all along. Truly worthy of being Shaliya’s sister, her intellect was indeed not simple.
Sacrificing comfort and even protective measures, they had maximized the speed. Thus, Du You and the two sisters spent three days to finally arrive at their destination. There was no choice; the world set against the backdrop of space was simply too vast.
The three of them endured all sorts of discomfort and finally arrived at their target; five small asteroids were arranged in a crescent shape before them.
"Alright, we can’t continue using spatial teleportation at this point, or we’ll be discovered," Du You said, and at the same time, he changed their mode of flight. The spatial compressor was no longer activated, but instead, they switched to sub-luminal speed flight. That’s because if they reached light-speed flight, the commotion would be too great, and they would still be detected by the enemy.
The three of them quietly flew towards the last asteroid. It took them the better part of the day to arrive there.
"Yu Shi, you control the shuttle. Yucha, you come with me." The shuttle stealthily stopped some distance away from the asteroid, not daring to approach further. Various sensors scattered throughout the vicinity could easily detect their position.
Those densely packed satellites and space-based weapons were not a joke. For this operation, Du You couldn’t afford to be detected, and for his plan to work, it had to remain a secret. Du You gently pulled Yucha along as they started to observe everything around them.
Finally, when Du You’s gaze settled on a particular location, the two of them vanished in an instant.
Shadow Teleport, Du You effortlessly brought Yucha onto the surface of the asteroid. This last asteroid was the largest, and at that moment, Du You had already spotted an abundance of warships on it.
Many of them were tier five; it seemed his domain posed a significant threat to them for them to be willing to assemble such a force. On this battlefield, such a large-scale fleet was quite rare.
"Master, I’ve found it over there. That’s the cargo transport, and that’s the best fast ship for escaping," Yucha pointed out.
A "fast ship" referred to a type of warship that prioritized speed, typically used for charges, harassment, or other special operations. Though it had to be said, the speed of such a vessel made it suitable for escaping.
"Over there is their main flagship. It’s a pity it hasn’t reached tier six; it seems they really don’t take us too seriously," Yucha’s vision was the best, easily allowing her to observe everything around them.
"No matter what, as long as they come, that’s what counts. Let’s go, we’ll tag a few of them."
Du You pulled Yucha along. This time, it wasn’t Du You using his Shadow Teleport, but Yucha unleashing her Spatial Spirit. Furthermore, they cloaked themselves with an invisibility cloak, completely concealing the two of them.
The Spatial Spirit’s teleportation was incredibly precise, producing very little fluctuation, and the local technological weaponry had a hard time detecting it.
Indeed, in this world, items infused with spatial power were not uncommon. It was just a pity that people with spatial abilities were a rare sight. Those Professionals with space abilities certainly wouldn’t waste their time in a world .
Because of this, this world had the capability to counter their powers but had never researched the subject adequately. This was an oversight, a high-level vulnerability that he could exploit.
Du You knew he only had one chance at success. Regardless of this operation’s outcome, the major powers would surely be on guard in the future. But this first time, the impact would be substantial.
Yucha, with Du You in tow, quietly appeared beside those warships, and Du You proceeded to tag his Shadow Teleport coordinates onto them. Once done, he could follow the movements of the warships wherever they went.
After spending two hours, Du You tagged all the warships he deemed significant. If it weren’t for his considerable amount of coordinate skills, he never could have accomplished this. Once finished, Du You left with Yucha.
"Now we’re set. When our sabotage reaches this place, they will surely flee. The closest and safest place here is the interstellar fortress. I hope they run in that direction." This was the prerequisite for Du You’s success. If the enemy fled somewhere other than the interstellar fortress, there was nothing he could do.
At most, he could attack a few of the other military bases in the vicinity. Without maximizing the benefits, he could not provide the most potent deterrent to others.
The most crucial point was that, at that time, the advantages he sought might be quite difficult to obtain.
Upon returning to their original location, Du You looked up into space. Relying on memory and sight, Du You barely aligned himself with the shuttle’s position and, with Yucha, teleported into space.
Fortunately, with the abilities of Du You and the others, they could survive in outer space for a considerable time, so it wasn’t too distressing.
Once they found the shuttle again, Du You and Yucha re-entered it.
"Did the plan succeed?" Lin Yushi quickly asked. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Very smoothly, now let’s head back." Du You gave a thumbs up, indicating complete satisfaction, and Lin Yushi finally felt relieved. However, a greater concern lingered in her heart.
Facing an interstellar fortress rated at tier seven, would they indeed attain it so easily, without any mishaps? No matter what, the plan was already in motion, and there was nothing the two sisters could do to stop what Du You had decided.
