Chapter 331: Chapter 331
Lv Susu, who was in the middle of cultivation and deduction, suddenly received a communication that the HM-370 Starship carrying Lu Lin had vanished without a trace.
She was utterly shocked and distressed.
How could this be possible?
She had just warned Lu Lin that he might encounter danger soon, and it had been scarcely an hour since—yet now the entire starship had vanished.
"Lv Susu, I have no reason to lie to you about this."
"Just now, Bao Hu sent me a message. When I tried to contact him, he was already unreachable."
"However, I haven’t found any relevant information yet."
From the other side of the communication, Xing Fang said anxiously.
"Wait, Xing Fang, don’t panic yet. I also contacted Lu Lin just now. They were near Jupiter. Directly contact the Jupiter spaceport base to get the latest news. I’ll do a divination for Lu Lin first."
Xing Fang hung up the communication and was preparing to find the Jupiter spaceport base contact when he saw the message from Duan Ya.
"Bao Hu’s news is true; the Jupiter spaceport base has already confirmed this incident."
"However, the news has not yet been disclosed to the public."
"But it cannot be delayed for long, as most of the passengers aboard the starship are high-profile individuals. We must find a feasible solution before this incident blows up."
"Additionally, Zhu Henian, along with Zhao Lei and Li Qingyun, is already verifying the information of all passengers on this starship to see if there are any other high-value alien targets besides Lu Lin."
Xing Fang questioned.
She didn’t expect Duan Ya to find out even earlier than she did, and his reaction this time was notably swift.
"You, get ready to organize a rescue team."
"Lu Lin is the cornerstone of our Titled King Division. You and I can die, but he absolutely cannot."
Duan Ya said solemnly.
Xing Fang nodded, fully aware of the urgency and gravity of the situation, and wouldn’t delay.
As one of the most formidable Level 9 Martial Artists among the Human Race, it was only fitting to entrust her with assembling personnel and organizing the rescue.
The Titled King Division began taking action.
Not just them, the incident of HM-370 Starship entering the spatial channel rapidly spread among the advanced combat forces in the Human Federation.
Heads of various departments, Titled King Division members with combat powers above the Ninth Level, and several Titled Kings also received this news.
Especially after Duan Ya repeatedly verified the passenger list of this starship with almost 90% certainty.
This disappearance of HM-370 was no accident but a long-planned hijacking by the Alien Race.
Their target was Lu Lin.
Yet some were still skeptical. While Lu Lin was important, the Alien Race had never demonstrated such extreme caution towards him prior to this.
It seemed unlikely they would go to the lengths of opening a spatial channel just to divert the starship’s route for him.
Furthermore, activating a second spatial channel, opening two channels in succession, was not an insignificant expenditure for the Alien Race.
One must not forget during their invasion of sixteen large alien cities, sixteen spatial channels were established.
This is an entirely different concept.
The opening of those sixteen spatial channels wasn’t for just anyone, nor for any Titled King.
It was to strategically crush the combat confidence and resolve of humankind.
Only such significant targets warranted the simultaneous opening of sixteen channels.
Opening two channels for one person had never happened before.
Some analysts suggested the Alien Race had realized Lu Lin’s importance to Humans, prompting this operation.
Each spatial channel, set up independently by the Alien Race, costs at least a million star coins.
It requires not only resources but also expertise.
Moreover, most importantly, each channel requires at least two Star Generals to guard it once established.
This time, the two channels meant four Star Generals or more aliens awaited Lu Lin, Zhang Xianzhi, Bao Hu, and others.
After reaching this conclusion, major departments reached a consensus.
All efforts would be directed at locating the HM-370 Starship in the Exotic Battlefield.
All efforts would be focused on rescuing survivors from HM-370.
All efforts would focus on ensuring Lu Lin’s safety and bringing him back to the Human Federation promptly.
Additionally, this incident necessitated managing public reassurance within the Federation, ensuring constant vigilance over Lu Lin’s parents’ safety against organizations like the Black Shark Society that might target them.
All current work prioritized finding Lu Lin and safeguarding him, with investigations into his abduction’s cause to follow his safe return.
Human Federation’s senior leadership sprang into action instantly.
The propaganda department began preparing press releases and program content.
The safety department deployed a large number of skilled personnel to investigate Jupiter Space.
Spaceport management and starship operation departments dispatched staff to handle passenger families’ reassurance.
The Star Investigation Office, Exotic Division, Alien Race Department, Exotic Beast Department, and other investigative bodies also escalated task assignments.
At this moment, human efforts had to rally as one to swiftly rescue Lu Lin.
The newly established Titled King Division, currently the most potent force in the Federation, would form three attack teams of over a hundred members each to rescue Lu Lin in the Exotic Battlefield.
Each team would be led by at least two Titled Kings.
Humankind was fully prepared.
within the belly of a massive mountain on the Exotic Battlefield, an enormous starship gradually emerged.
Although it appears slow, the starship’s speed is anything but.
It directly smashed through this mountain, which was fortified with formations, and continued onward.
Immediately after, the second mountain, the third, the fourth.
The HM-370 Starship finally got stuck in the seventh mountain after smashing through six reinforced mountains designed to thwart progress and reduce speed.
"Where is this place."
Inside the driving cabin, seven pilots were unable to rise.
Their seats completely restricted bodily movements, making it impossible for them to even stand.
One tried pressing the escape button, but the seat that usually responded instantly didn’t move at all.
They were trapped here.
In the exotic battlefield, no electronic device could be used, whether a micro personal terminal or a giant aerospace starship.
Inside the passenger cabin, countless passengers couldn’t even return to their rest cabin, now sprawled haphazardly on the floor, losing consciousness.
Occasionally, those who remained somewhat clear-headed were Star Core Warriors.
Only the resilience of the Star Core Warriors allowed them to stay calm facing such a space jump and the successive mountain collisions.
Lu Lin’s body also crashed against the wall, knocking down the clothes and oil painting hanging there.
Bao Hu saw Lu Lin and Zhang Xianzhi still caught in the Star Power Domain, quickly rushed over to assist them.
The personal terminal couldn’t be used.
Even the emergency escape device on the starship couldn’t be activated.
They were undoubtedly in the exotic battlefield.
As Lu Lin’s bodyguard appointed by the Titled King Division, Bao Hu’s mind didn’t consider the safety of others on the starship.
His only thought was to protect Lu Lin, ensure his survival, and return him safely to the federation.
While the two were still in the Star Power Domain, Bao Hu rapidly contemplated solutions.
First, they needed to ascertain the purpose of this space jump.
Was it a passageway that appeared accidentally, or an alien conspiracy?
Based on these assessments, he formulated corresponding strategies. If it was random, he just needed to carefully guide the passengers on the starship past various dangers and back to the federation.
As for potential dangers en route, they posed no fear to Bao Hu, recently promoted to be a Titled King.
But if it was a conspiracy orchestrated by alien races, he had to be cautious.
Earlier, outside Jupiter Space, Bao Hu distinctly witnessed two spatial channels.
This meant that at least four Alien Star Generals were guarding nearby. Follow current novels on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
With just him and the promoting Zhang Xianzhi, they couldn’t withstand a direct confrontation.
He must adhere to the previous plan.
The two would divert the aliens’ attention, while Lu Lin would escape alone.
Then they would rendezvous at the designated location.
However, observing the surrounding dark center of the mountains, Bao Hu couldn’t analyze much insightful information for a while.
Just as he was lamenting silently, suddenly his view brightened.
The mountains blocking the view were pushed aside abruptly.
Seeing this situation, Bao Hu felt no slightest relief, instead, his heart sank continuously.
He collided with the worst outcome.
Indeed, this was an alien conspiracy.
He Bo Star General gazed at the colossal object before him, inwardly marveling at the greatness of humans.
Although the two races were in opposition, their Extraordinary Species valued tapping the potential of their own bloodline more than relying on external objects like humans.
Such a massive starship remained outwardly intact after smashing six successive mountains.
Yet, humans were only good at manual tasks, completely inept in combat.
"He Bo, this thing is so huge, should we cut it apart directly?"
"Can we even cut it apart?"
A voice chimed in from the side as four figures flew over.
They were the Alien Star Generals tasked with carrying out this operation, one of whom, a brawny member of the Eight-Armed Clan, asked the question.
"Cut it apart? Definitely not, who knows where Lu Lin is, if you accidentally slash him, whose fault would it be?"
"Don’t forget what the lord said; this Lu Lin can assist Level 9 Martial Artists in promotion."
"If we can wield this ability, our Extraordinary Species will eventually unify the exotic battlefield, making those ragged beasts from the Demon God Kingdom yield their positions."
Before He Bo could respond, an old man with a goatee and skin dry like tree bark stepped forward to speak.
This old man, with a face full of insidiousness, looked clearly no good.
He was Gan Yu, the direct overseer of this operation, from the Withered Wood Clan.
Gan Yu’s combat prowess was comparable to that of the former deputy commander of Chongnuo City, Star General Yu Long, both ranking first under the Ten Gods.
"Alright, young ones, stop dawdling. Do you still remember the starship division plan the lord provided?"
"If you haven’t forgotten, begin promptly."
Gan Yu waved, and immediately different alien race warriors appeared all around, most were Seventh Level Star Soldiers, with a few at Level 8 and Level 9.
Upon hearing Gan Yu’s order, they each flew beside the starship, drawing out their blades to cut the HM-370 Starship.
Hearing the various cutting sounds outside, some passengers directly saw the alien Star Soldiers, bizarre and vivid, and instantly understood they were facing trouble.
