Chapter 219 Escape
Chen Ming could already see the civil aerospace airport with spacecraft landing in the distance in the taxi.
And at this time, he also happened to see Song Pu mentioned him on the terminal.
So he said directly in the channel: "I am approaching the airport. I saw in the file on the terminal that there is a safe house in the surrounding colonies. 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 abnormal, just run away."
"I have arranged a special operations team to infiltrate there. You need to find a way to hide for a day or two."
"Got it."
Chen Ming quickly replied and continued to ask on the terminal: "How is the progress of the capture of Cheng Xinghai?"
"Just locked her location and are implementing the capture plan. She is near the junction of our territory and the government-occupied area. It is not far from you. You can meet her after crossing a few channels."
"Have you found her?"
"Yes."
Song Pu responded instantly after answering.
The abilities of both sides in this simulated battle are similar. Since they have already locked onto Cheng Xinghai, then the opponent...
Chen Ming was only one step away from the airport at this time, but since some time ago, the sparse traffic around him had completely disappeared.
Although the taxi was still moving forward, its speed was slowly decreasing.
And when Chen Ming tried to open the door, he couldn't open it at all, and there was only a prompt saying that the permission was locked.
Chen Ming immediately took full control of the taxi remotely controlled by the taxi company.
But he still let the taxi slow down slowly according to the original command sent by the taxi company.
Looking at the appearance of the police hovercraft gradually appearing in the sky in the distance, Chen Ming felt that he had to walk the last road by himself.
But he didn't rush to get off the taxi, but squatted in the position where the door could cover the back seat of the taxi. At the same time, he used the materials inside the taxi to rub a micro robot by hand and put it at the bottom of the taxi, observing the situation outside.
In just a few tens of seconds when Chen Ming's taxi stopped.
Many reinforcements from the local police have appeared in the empty surroundings.
The direction of the airport has been completely blocked, and a layer of isolation belt has been set up. A large number of humanoid police robots completely surrounded Chen Ming in a few minutes.
Although these mechanical bodies may become Chen Ming's helpers, how to approach is a big problem.
Chen Ming no longer expects the taxi to continue to take him forward, and quickly transforms all the materials inside the taxi except the outer shell into metal liquid around him, so that they can be transformed into what Chen Ming wants them to be at any time.
At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw a hovercraft suddenly approaching his direction, and shouted to him: "Disarm and surrender immediately! Otherwise we will use lethal force!"
Chen Ming did not intend to pay attention to him, and was still thinking about how to safely reach the airport behind the police line.
But at the moment when the second warning sounded.
A hovercraft suspended far away suddenly appeared with the tail flame of something being fired.
The robot that Chen Ming left under the taxi instantly locked onto the appearance of the object being launched and sent back a photo.
It was a micro-missile.
"Fuck?"
Chen Ming thought the police would warn him twice more.
After all, it seemed that they didn't want to kill him directly, but to capture him alive.
And Chen Ming originally wanted to wait for the police robot to approach and arrest him, and then take the opportunity to attack.
But the other side obviously didn't give him this opportunity.
I'm afraid someone behind him would have reminded him to do it directly.
Chen Ming cursed inwardly, and his psychic power was instantly activated.
The taxi, which originally had a shell, liquefied along with the metal liquid wrapped around Chen Ming, and rose into the sky on one side.
The huge liquid metal vortex composed of metal liquid was suspended in the air to block the launch trajectory of the micro-missile.
Almost at the moment when Chen Ming just set up the vortex, the micro-missile arrived in front of him.
Countless metal liquids flew out under the impact of the explosion, but were instantly controlled by Chen Ming's psychic power to return.
Most of it was wrapped around Chen Ming, who had lost the protection of the taxi, and completely wrapped him up, forming a power armor that looked a bit bloated.
Chen Ming didn't have many choices. He could only use materials to pile up and reduce the mobility to a certain extent to make the power armor more protective.
It would not be directly penetrated at a glance and hurt Chen Ming himself.
The remaining materials formed a flying robot, which flew straight to the sky.
It could help Chen Ming get a bird's-eye view of the entire area near the airport, and cooperate with the small robot on the ground to let Chen Ming quickly plan the most suitable road.
Unfortunately, due to the limitation of materials, this is the most he can do with his psychic power now.
But it was enough.
While the explosion smoke had not completely dissipated.
Chen Ming controlled the power armor that was a little heavier than before and rushed out of the smoke.
The police robots that were originally blocking Chen Ming and the airport immediately took action and raised the electric shock guns on their arms.
The sharp electrode needles pierced directly into the limbs of Chen Ming's power armor. The instantly raised voltage directly damaged the circuit inside the armor and emitted black smoke.
After all, this was just a cheap power armor made of taxi materials. Not to mention the fully upgraded biomass armor, even the prototype locust armor of biological armor could not compare.
Fortunately, the electrode needles fired by the police robot's electric shock gun did not cause physical damage.
The damage to the circuit alone was nothing to Chen Ming.
After the psychic energy instantly repaired the damage and tore off the wires connecting the electrode needles, Chen Ming continued to rush towards the police robots blocking the airport defense line like nothing had happened.
As long as he could contact a robot, Chen Ming could get the capital to escape.
At this time, the floating car that had launched a micro-missile suddenly moved again. The shells on both sides of its body suddenly opened, and several micro-missile launchers popped out from it.
In Chen Ming's eyes, dozens of micro-missiles with tail flames piercing the sky shot at Chen Ming.
The power armor wrapped around Chen Ming's body was liquefied again in an instant, and the swirling metal liquid once again formed a metal vortex in the air.
The flight trajectory of the micro-missiles rolled up and threw them all away.
Continuous explosions occurred around Chen Ming, but none of them could really hurt Chen Ming.
The smoke and dust produced by the explosion even provided cover for Chen Ming again.
And when Chen Ming, wearing power armor, broke through the smoke and dust again, 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 the standard electromagnetic rifles they were equipped with.
The rain of bullets composed of electromagnetic bullets instantly covered every part of Chen Ming's body.
But Chen Ming, except for reaching out to the two fatal parts of his head and chest, still pushed forward with the firepower output as if nothing had happened.
All the metal projectiles that hit the power armor were reversed by Chen Ming, and turned into a part of the power armor on his body, increasing the strength of the armor.
When Chen Ming grabbed the head of a police robot, the robot melted instantly.
The metal liquid flowed along his arm and wrapped around the power armor on Chen Ming's body.
As it flowed, the materials and structure of the entire power armor were constantly optimized by Chen Ming.
The excess metal liquid was suspended directly around Chen Ming like a shield, protecting him and not giving any chance of being hit by external attacks.
Chen Ming also took control of the two police robots closest to him.
These two robots did not melt, but turned against him directly after being controlled, raised their guns at friendly forces, and instantly destroyed the control centers of several police robots.
Electromagnetic weapons were not effective when attacking Chen Ming, but they were 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's defense line.
While controlling the robots to create more chaos, he was also using the bodies of the fallen military robots to continuously optimize this set of power armor.
Soon he achieved the best model that could be made with the materials he could currently obtain.
All the extra 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 the hovercraft that was targeting Chen Ming and was approaching quickly, as if it was planning to do something.
After blocking more police units that wanted to get close to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming rushed into the airport alone wearing a much lighter but significantly stronger power armor.
And when he entered the airport where a large number of spaceships were parked and there was no time to evacuate them all.
He was like entering the steel jungle in his consciousness space and returned to his home court.
Psychic power was no longer restricted, and several spaceships were kneaded in his hands like clay.
Even if the civilian spaceship itself had many castrations, its structure was at least intact.
As long as Chen Ming did not think about pursuing armor strength, other functions could be achieved by relying on his own understanding of spaceship design.
If it really didn't work, Chen Ming also had the overclocking technology he had learned from Zuo Jing, which he hadn't used for a while.
Let civilian ships also be able to exert the strength of military ships.
But Chen Ming didn't do that now. He just kept contacting the spaceships that were docked here and kept aggregating the melted metal liquid.
During this process, Chen Ming actually found several military spaceships that looked like civilian spaceships at this civilian airport.
In the computers inside these spaceships, Chen Ming instantly found the routes of these spaceships.
The purpose was all in the galaxy actually controlled by the rebels. It seemed that these spaceships were to be used as spy spaceships.
Chen Ming recorded the models of these spaceships and asked the robots flying in the sky to take a few high-definition close-ups of these spaceships.
Later, he might be able to find similar spaceships in the rebel-controlled area.
Then Chen Ming took control of all these military spaceships without hesitation, and left one unmelted, but left it in place.
Chen Ming didn't need this spaceship now, and 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 metal liquid ball in the sky suddenly fell to the ground.
Countless metallic liquids finally seemed to be discovered by Newton and began to flow normally according to 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 unmodeled 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 set up by the police, with expressions of fear on their faces.
As well as those police officers who stood in front of the civilians, with firm faces but unable to completely conceal the 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 block 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 immediately said in Cheng Xinghai's terminal channel: "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 rebel siege came, he 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 area.
A war is a war, and a civil war is a civil war.
Before issues such as treason arise completely.
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 off.
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 this 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, might 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 the '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 wondering 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. Thinking 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."
"good."
Song Pu replied immediately, and then sent another one.
"But there is bad news. Cheng Xinghai ran away."
