Chapter 1568 Strength Recovery
The sudden shutdown of the artificial gravity did not have a great impact on Alyssa and the others, but it had a greater impact on the security forces, and it also made it easier for everyone to escape.
In a low-gravity environment, we don’t need to take the stairs!
Activating the jetpack, everyone climbed over the stairs and jumped from the air in the center of the stairwell.
Aim the gun downward, and shoot him whenever there is a moving object.
The security forces did not wear protective clothing, and naturally did not have jetpacks. In addition, the gunpowder weapons they used would make them unstable in this low-gravity environment, and the speed of everyone's advancement was significantly increased.
Slowing down when they were about to reach the ground, Sofia, as the commando leader, was as fierce as ever. Just as the two security guards hiding in the bunker were about to show up and shoot, Sofia immediately fired an electric cannon at them.
Although it was difficult to exert force in a low-gravity environment, Sophia's brute strength was no joke. The damaged nose bridge made it impossible to open her eyes. In a dazed state, she was beaten into pieces by Du Yi and Cao Wei who followed behind.
Rushing out of the stairwell, my eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a not-so-large apron. It was built to facilitate the transportation of supplies and important personnel. The apron can only take off and land four shuttles or space fighters.
Everyone appeared on the second floor of the apron, not far from the elevator, and the 'emergency exit' emergency lights hung above their heads.
However, as soon as everyone came out, they were immediately warmly welcomed by a row of lasers and bullets, so they had to squat on the second floor, use the height difference as cover, and shoot downwards.
Because the energy was turned off, only a few emergency lights were still on on the tarmac, and the lighting environment was very poor.
Both sides can only use headlamps or flashlights to illuminate each other. Unless you are really unlucky, it will be difficult to get hit.
Having said that, there were many wounded people rushing over to Alyssa's side, but there was no attrition yet. The protective clothing's built-in drug injection function and automatic sealing of damage prevented the wounded from losing too much blood, and the low-gravity environment It was relatively easy for even the wounded to move around, so no one was left behind.
But that may not be the case next.
If everyone wants to go on, they must pass through the dense fire net. Even if it is difficult to hit them with blind fire, they will still be unlucky after all.
"I'm out of ammunition!"
Cao Wei threw a battery to Du Yi, but she had no spare ones. If this continued, even energy weapons and ammunition, which were easier to carry than gunpowder weapons, would be exhausted.
More and more people began to suffer from the problem of insufficient ammunition. They actually brought two bases of ammunition this time. However, there were too many times when they needed fire cover along the way, and there was a problem with ammunition management.
Alyssa protected Princess Leia and looked down at the personal terminal.
Fifteen minutes have passed.
Li Chengqi's operation almost caused the colonial satellite to disintegrate, but it did speed up Alyssa's progress.
It was supposed to arrive in twenty minutes at the earliest, but now it's only fifteen minutes.
She immediately tried to contact Hall:
"We have arrived at the tarmac, where are you?"
"Be there soon, boss."
Before he finished speaking, two eye-catching lights appeared behind the enemy, sweeping over them like searchlights.
Due to the backlighting effect, it is difficult to see what is on the other side of the light.
But it doesn't matter, they know it right away.
"Perform cleaning duties."
The next moment, the streamlined Manta passed through the light green membrane airlock, and its twenty-millimeter cannon opened fire.
Since the Manta has always been operated by Li Chengqi, and Li Chengqi despises the armor-piercing bullets in commonly used ammunition belts, the Manta's 20mm cannon still only has high-explosive shells except for a small amount of tracer bullets.
High-explosive bombs are particularly effective at killing soft targets.
The security forces were fighting indoors, wearing at most one piece of body armor, and when the Manta came from behind, their bunkers instantly lost all effectiveness. The terrible explosions, screams, and the sound of fragments crackling everywhere were almost connected together. Alyssa and the others were afraid of being accidentally injured by the shrapnel, so they lay on the ground one after another.
After a while, the roar of the cannon had disappeared, and only the subtle sound of the servo motor stopping echoed on the tarmac.
The Manta then made a drifting tail flick and landed vertically backwards.
"Boss, time is running out, we have to leave quickly!"
"I heard you all, hurry up, get up!"
Alyssa picked up Princess Leia, and the others also turned over and jumped from the second floor. They used their jetpacks to slow down and landed on the ground, then ran towards the Manta's tail hatch like they were taking a moonwalk.
At this time, the pursuers from behind finally arrived. They couldn't see clearly due to the black light, but the automatic weapons swept past, and Alyssa and the others felt as thrilling as running in a hail of bullets.
From time to time, bullets would hit the armor plate of the Manta, bursting into eye-catching sparks.
Sofia was the first to arrive. She immediately turned around and used the Manta's hatch as a cover to shoot diagonally upward to suppress fire.
Before the last ammunition was consumed, Alyssa shouted to Hall:
"Close the hatch!"
Everyone came up. Although a few people were shot in the back while running away, it seemed that the situation was not good, but there were indeed a lot of them.
Those who could still move immediately took off the protective clothing of the injured for emergency treatment, and Hall immediately took off again.
As long as we can get back to the Swan and rescue him in time, it shouldn't be a big problem.
But the premise is that you can go back.
Just after leaving the membrane airlock on the tarmac, the Manta shook violently. Duy, who was giving painkillers to the wounded, almost pricked his hand with a needle.
"We were hit, but the shield stopped the shell."
It was obviously not much easier outside than inside. Alyssa quickly ran to the cockpit and saw at a glance several three-machine formations approaching from the left.
"Where is Li Chengqi? Shouldn't he be covering?"
"There are enemies that are difficult to deal with. He has no choice but to send me here."
Alyssa knew very well how capable Li Chengqi was. Even he was said to be a difficult enemy, so she could only lure him away.
Everyone immediately found a place to sit down, fasten their seat belts, and secure the injured to prevent them from being thrown out when the Manta Ray maneuvered next.
At this time, Princess Leia, who had been paddling and even becoming a burden, suddenly said:
"My strength is returning."
Alyssa turned around and saw that Princess Leia's body was 'growing' at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took just a few seconds for her to return to her original appearance.
Why did the strength suddenly return?
Didn't Li Chengqi say that it would take at least two or three hours to recover?
It's far from time yet.
But there was no time to think about it now. Princess Leia unbuckled her seat belt and walked to the airtight compartment.
"I will cover your return."
As she spoke, she lowered the airtight compartment door, and then opened the tail hatch.
The boss who has reached level 81 can finally go online to work.
