Chapter 36 Chicken Run
Qi Yiming drove the transport boat and deliberately flew around the area where the two warships were exchanging fire.
He was not worried about accidental injuries, because the two warships in duel mode would actively avoid friendly forces before firing.
Although Qi Yiming was only driving a transport boat, it was still considered a friendly force in the enemy identification system.
Qi Yiming did this just to make the surrounding spectators more interested in watching this performance specially arranged for them.
The effect was not bad. The crowd of spectators nervously watched Qi Yiming's small transport boat shuttle between the bursting laser beams fired by the two warships, and forgot to comment for a while.
A few minutes later, Qi Yiming drove the transport boat to the side of the Redemption under the nervous gaze of everyone.
He first circled the Redemption, giving everyone the illusion of finding an entrance.
"Why didn't the secondary guns of that warship attack the transport boat?" Someone in the temporary channel asked in surprise.
"Didn't you see that the secondary guns were busy attacking the enemy? How much of a threat can a transport boat pose? If the warship that released it is destroyed, the people on the transport boat will naturally become a meal." A captain who looked like a big boss explained in a tone of teaching his subordinates.
Everyone nodded frequently and thought that this should be the reason.
"That transport boat seems to have found something?" Someone suddenly shouted in astonishment in the channel.
Qi Yiming drove the transport boat to land between the two secondary gun mounts, just blocking everyone's observation angle.
"What would be between the two secondary guns? Whose warship opened the door in that place?" Someone in the communication channel said disdainfully.
The place where Qi Yiming docked was indeed not the hatch of the Redemption, but an emergency escape hatch.
Under normal circumstances, the emergency escape hatch would not be opened, but Qi Yiming took a trick.
He sent a code of mechanical failure of the transport boat to the Redemption and requested an emergency docking.
So the Redemption opened the emergency escape hatch closest to Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming climbed into the Redemption from the escape hatch with the energy block.
As Qi Yiming appeared in the ship, the Redemption woke up the lighting equipment.
The lights were on around, and the first thing Qi Yiming saw was the bodies of several former federal crew members.
Qi Yiming didn't know what happened in the ship that year. Logically, the energy blocks in the Redemption warehouse had the largest reserves.
No matter what, they would not drift in the universe forever.
Qi Yiming tried to let the ship-borne intelligent computer increase his authority.
Sure enough, it was another empty warship, except for the corpse lying on the ground.
In the end, he successfully obtained the highest control authority of the Redemption.
Qi Yiming quickly walked to the power room, replaced the energy block he brought with him for the Redemption, and placed another one in the position where the energy block was to be replaced in the power room.
In this way, the Redemption had two energy blocks available in a short time.
Then Qi Yiming did not delay on the ship for long, and climbed back to the transport boat from the escape hatch again.
The whole process took less than five minutes and did not arouse the suspicion of the captains outside.
Some people even laughed at Qi Yiming in the temporary communication channel, saying that he was a fool, and that he could find something next to the gun mount of the secondary gun.
Then, amid the laughter of the crowd, Qi Yiming drove the transport boat back to the Xuefeng.
The main event was about to begin.
Qi Yiming took over the command as soon as he returned to the bridge of the Xuefeng, and ordered the Redemption to start the engine through the ship's intelligent brain.
"Fuck, how did the engine of that warship ignite?" The captain who discovered that the Redemption had started the engine shouted in the temporary communication channel.
Who knew that what surprised these captains was still to come.
Qi Yiming forced the Redemption to bypass the enemy identification system, increased the attack intensity of the main gun, and fired a shot at the warehouse at the rear of the Xuefeng.
Before leaving the Xuefeng, Qi Yiming ordered the crew to move out all the important materials in the warehouse and lower the airlock, and no one was allowed to enter the warehouse.
All this was calculated by one of them, and the armor of the Xuefeng was penetrated.
Some unimportant materials left in the warehouse flew out through the gap in the hull like flowers scattered by a fairy.
That scene made the captains watching mistakenly believe that the Xuefeng was severely damaged.
Then they saw the Xuefeng turned the bow smoothly and fled from the Redemption at a high speed.
But the problem was that the Redemption's engine had already started and was closely following the Xuefeng.
The captains watching were dumbfounded. When had they ever seen such a situation?
Most of the captains here have been in the K-332 galaxy for more than half a year and have never seen the Redemption move.
They still found it a bit difficult to accept this sudden move.
I don't know who yelled in the channel: "Fuck, why are you coming to me..."
Before the voice fell, the Redemption killed a warship in the watching team with one shot.
Don't forget that although the Redemption is in a duel with the Xuefeng, she is also performing a warning mission.
As long as it is a non-friendly ship that enters the range of her main gun, the Redemption will still attack.
This stunned the other captains, who took a long time to react, cursing wildly and quickly ordering their warships to move their positions, trying to stay out of the range of the Redemption's main guns.
How could Qi Yiming let these people succeed? His goal was to mess up the scene, and the more chaotic the better.
So Qi Yiming ordered the navigator to fly the Xuefeng to the place where the warships were most densely packed.
The scene was already in chaos because of the sudden change of position of the Redemption, and now it was even more chaotic because of Qi Yiming's operation.
The temporary communication channel was boiling, and the shouting and cursing came one after another.
"Your uncle... why are you always chasing me?" The captain called Xiaoqi whimpered.
Qi Yiming, who was no longer on the temporary communication channel, couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
When the Redemption passed Xiaoqi's destroyer, 16 secondary guns fired at the same time. The unprepared destroyer was instantly pierced by the bursting laser, and a violent explosion occurred from the inside.
Fortunately, Sister Pao was calm and tried to pull Qi Yiming into the temporary communication channel.
"What bad things did you do, you little bastard, to make the warship chase you?" Sister Pao asked Qi Yiming the moment he entered the channel.
Qi Yiming said innocently, "I don't know either. I just drove the transport boat around him."
"Then what did you do behind the secondary gun just now?"
"I just wanted to see if there was a hatch behind the secondary gun..." Qi Yiming looked at Sister Pao innocently in the communicator with his watery eyes.
Anyway, Qi Yiming made up his mind and didn't know anything.
He was on the Xuefeng, and no one would believe him even if he said it to the sky. The Redemption was faithfully executing Qi Yiming's orders at this moment.
"Fuck you, don't come to me... If you come over again, I will lock and fire..." A poor guy randomly selected by Qi Yiming threatened Qi Yiming in a rage in the temporary communication channel.
Qi Yiming's face was covered in sweat, and he kept apologizing to the man: "Sorry, sorry, please let me pass, please let me pass!"
In fact, he was already very happy in his heart. In order to act more realistically, Qi Yiming even asked Hao Chenqi to spray a mouthful of water on his face.
Without any surprise, the warship that Qi Yiming forced to pass through was instantly sunk by the Redemption. It was just a frigate, and Qi Yiming was not surprised that it was killed by one shot.
