Yang Ming stared closely at the pirate ship directly ahead.

He slightly adjusted the square rudder and pushed the square rudder to a slightly larger gear. He had to shorten the last two minutes of the voyage as much as possible.

Yang Ming said quickly:

"Let your daughter prepare for the jump in advance. We have to rush in the moment before the jump is completed, otherwise we don't have to involve them.

"Make sure we can receive their surrender signal and establish communication with them. I will try my best to hold them back."

Kolev immediately began to lower his head and use the encrypted channel to re-contact his pirate ship.

The old man's voice regained its calmness.

"Mimili, I am now remotely controlling the hull. A warship has appeared here. Don't worry, they won't fire easily. Do you still remember our specialty?"

Mimili? Which Mimili? His daughter’s name is Mimili?

Yang Ming was suddenly startled, but he couldn't be distracted at the moment.

"Okay dad! I'm not worried, I'm very excited now!" Mimili's voice was trembling.

"Give me permission...yes, that's it."

A three-dimensional projection appeared on the square glass in Kolev's hand, depicting the hull of the pirate ship ahead.

Zizzi, this is the sound of electromagnetic interference.

A familiar female voice came from the center console of the maintenance boat.

It's Lina!

"Hanton, I can forgive your rudeness, but now you must go back with me, otherwise I would rather destroy you."

"Really Lina?"

Yang Ming turned to look at the starboard side and pushed the square rudder forward again. The violent push on his back made him slightly excited.

"I apologize to you for the fierce physical collision between us, but Lina, you and I both know how miserable it would be if I went back with you. I just learned a word Lina."

Yang Ming raised his head and looked at the pirate ship ahead.

Directly above the pirate ship, on the left and right wings, and on the front deck, a blue halo appeared at the same time, and the entire pirate ship was slowly being covered with a thin film.

Generally speaking, films of this color are usually low-level defensive energy shields.

The pirates seemed ready for battle.

But when Yang Ming turned to look at Kolev, he found that Kolev's eyes gradually became more excited.

Although Yang Ming didn't know the details, he understood that the 'protective shield' of the pirate ship was very famous.

Yang Ming said: "Don't make me hate you, Lina, don't hurt the friends I just met."

"Hanton, this kind of pirate ship can't withstand a single bombardment from our main gun. This level of protective shield is like a blank piece of paper," Lina said. "You have no way to escape. Hanton, haven't you just learned this?"

Did you say a word? We can communicate face to face, I will hold your hand and forgive you for your previous recklessness."

Yang Ming groaned a few times.

He saw the excitement in Kolev's eyes.

Under Kolev's eyes, Yang Ming steadily controlled the direction of the maintenance boat, slowly turning it sideways and aiming at the gap at the rear of the pirate ship.

The azure film of light surged towards the tail like flowing water.

"Lina, I can go back with you."

Yang Ming said: "But I need to send my old buddy away. Catching these star pirates means nothing to you, okay Lina?"

"Of course," Lina whispered, "I will let them leave. This is a formal promise. Now, please stop your maintenance boat and let the pirate ship close the protective shield."

Yang Ming adjusted the position of the boat, and his eyes were filled with azure light.

There are only the last 100 meters or so left to the stern, but the maintenance boat must slow down to avoid hitting the bulkhead.

Kolev kept rubbing the glass plate in his hands.

He was calculating so that the speed at which the blue film spread would perfectly match the speed at which the maintenance boat was gliding forward.

Thirty meters.

The outer hatch at the stern of the pirate ship ahead began to close early.

Kolev gestured forward to Yang Ming, and Yang Ming gently pushed the operating lever.

There was an eerie silence in the boat.

Yang Ming seemed to hear someone's heartbeat.

"Hanton," Lina said, "we will send landing ships to control this pirate ship, but don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will not harm them. Let them save energy, this protective shield is meaningless."

"Really Lina?" Yang Ming murmured in a low voice, "Your lips are very sweet. I hope that was not our last intimate contact."

Lina was obviously embarrassed, but she immediately responded gently: "We can have a long time alone, and we won't let each other down, right Hanton?"

"Yes Lina, I like kissing you."

The maintenance boat slipped into the gap in the aft compartment.

The blue light film quietly closed after two seconds.

The rear outer hatch closes after five seconds.

Because the maintenance boat was slightly faster, Yang Ming used the square rudder to push it onto the thickened deck of the stern cabin, causing a series of sparks to rub against the hull.

Sudden!

Buzz——

The light around the pirate ship is slightly distorted, and the lens effect makes arc-like starlight appear on its periphery!

"That's subspace coating!"

In the bridge of the Flanker 3 ship, several officers stared at the scene in front of them and immediately shouted to Lina on the side projection screen:

"That's not a protective shield, it's a jump coating! They opened the subspace! Damn it! How did they do it? They actually imitated the energy fluctuations of the protective shield!"

"What?" Lina was a little surprised, "Stop them quickly!"

"The No. 3 side cannon is fully charged!"

"The No. 4 side cannon is fully charged!"

"Sir, can we shoot them down? Please decide!"

"The other party will initiate the transition in twenty-five seconds."

The shock in Lina's eyes quickly receded.

Her image was appearing on the bridge projection screen of Flanker III;

The projection screen that appeared in front of Lina was divided into two parts. One part was locked on the pirate ship where Yang Ming was, and the other part was the picture inside the bridge.

"Twenty seconds!"

The technician turned his head and shouted.

The voices on the bridge became mixed, and then quickly became silent, and everyone's eyes focused on Lina's projection.

In the back seat of the hover car, Lina had already clenched her hands tightly.

"Fifteen seconds countdown! The opponent is about to open the jump channel!"

"Sir!"

"Lina, do you still want to hear that?"

Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded, but because the subspace membrane interfered with the communication, his deliberately slowed down voice sounded a bit deep and hoarse:

"The beast that has tasted freedom cannot enter his tomb in advance."

"Sir!"

Lina could hardly breathe, and several thoughts quickly ran through her mind.

Kigrove's technology is the only fruitful result of the Valkyrie Project, the result of his nine consecutive months of lurking...

Her eyes were actually filled with kisses from this transformed man...

"The other party has opened the channel!"

On the screen, the pirate ship that looked like it was about to fall apart flickered slightly.

"attack!"

Lina immediately shouted, and the side cannon of the Flanker 3 sprayed out deep purple rays.

The pirate ship suddenly flashes!

The purple ray almost passed by the pirate ship, but what it hit was only a slight ripple of light.

The starry sky ahead returned to normal, and the subspace edge lens effect disappeared.

Lina slumped in the back seat, feeling dizzy again, her breathing rising and falling against the background.
