Chapter 735: Escape

Although the pirates' combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular army, they are not fools.

The accuracy of the mobile aircraft carrier's airborne radar is much higher than that of the Manta Ray. It may be difficult to detect it when mixed with the wreckage, but as soon as the engine is ignited, the other party will receive the engine signal.

After checking again, it is not the engine signal of their own people, and they immediately realize that someone is sneaking up.

Since they have been discovered, there is no point in sneaking around. As Li Chengxi pushed the throttle to the bottom, the engine of the Manta Ray changed from idling to full speed. The engine light that could not be concealed burst out from behind a piece of wreckage, and then the wreckage was hit by a string of shells.

The Manta Ray passed through the dust scattered by the explosion, and at this time, three shuttles followed behind.

Under normal circumstances, Li Chengxi is completely not in vain. In his opinion, the technical and tactical level of these pirates is probably not as good as the robots in the flight simulation game, but don't forget that there is a mobile aircraft carrier not far away, and there are a lot of shuttles going in and out around the mobile aircraft carrier.

Dense anti-aircraft artillery fire immediately attacked from one side of the aircraft carrier. The shuttles that had taken off from the aircraft carrier and were ready to rush to the front line also turned around and rushed towards the Manta.

Under this dense and large-scale barrage, even Li Chengxi could not avoid all the shells perfectly. Fang Lanyin sat in the cab, the red alarm light flashed continuously, and the "shield down" prompt sound on the main control panel almost became a ghost.

The only good news is that this airspace may have been at the forefront of the battle not long ago, and the front line was pushed forward with the advancement of the pirates.

So there are all kinds of wreckage of carrier-based aircraft and even large ships everywhere. If you look carefully, you may see a corpse floating in the void.

These wreckages helped Li Chengxi block a large number of shells. If it was an open airspace, even if he was not destroyed now, he would definitely not be better.

Li Chengxi felt like he was driving a train, with his front running in front and a large group of shuttles chasing behind.

The communication channel was full of pirates' screams and foul language. It felt like these guys might have taken something before they set off.

The first way Li Chengxi thought of to get out was to use the ability to jump.

But when he chose to jump on the ability disk, the screen prompted "There is interference from the engine of a large ship nearby, and the jump cannot be performed."

A large ship with the ability to jump can release a force field that prevents space transmission with its magic rudder. If you want to break through this force field, you have to use a larger magic rudder to cover it.

So, in fleet battles, tonnage is everything.

There are not only pirate ships around, but also ships of the planetary defense team. This force field is very uncomfortable.

In the final analysis, the shuttle itself should not have the ability to jump. Li Chengxi guessed that the science fiction script might be related to the space godhead, so he could use it, but it was obvious that this godhead was not completely recovered, otherwise it would not be bound by the interference force field.

In any case, it is definitely not possible to teleport and run away.

When coming here, they were cautious and sneaky, and when going back, they were full of power.

The good news is that Li Chengxi has flown out of the coverage of the mobile aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft guns, but the bad news is that the number of pirate shuttles behind him has approached thirty...

"The space fighter formation of the planetary defense team is in front, and it will be safe if we meet up with them!"

As Fang Lanyin said, Li Chengxi also saw that the engine lights belonging to the planetary defense team were clearly visible in the airspace ahead, and they should have pushed the front line back.

After all, the planetary defense team uses retired military supplies, which has a generational advantage compared to the pirates' rags. They were caught off guard at the beginning, and now they have recovered and are ready to punch the pirates in the face.

At this critical moment, a row of ion beams attacked from the oblique rear and the rear.

Li Chengxi saw it and made a maneuver to dodge, but the ion beam that could be avoided was deflected as the body shook.

Don't forget that the Manta's attitude stabilizer was not pressed, and Li Chengxi had been manually trimming it during this period.

And because it was manually operated, the fuselage could not maintain stable flight when performing large-angle maneuvers, but would swing or shake.

It was not obvious when the pirate shuttle attacked less before, but it was too deadly now.

Fang Lanyin felt the shuttle shake, and even heard the sound of metal tearing, and the sound of Li Chengxi's unhappy smacking of lips, and then the shuttle seemed to be completely unable to control the direction and fell into a spin.

It was not visible in the cockpit, but Li Chengxi saw it very clearly. Two ion beams hit the left wing of the Manta, one blasted the shield, and the other tore a hole at the connection between the wing and the belly.

Li Chengxi swung the joystick left and right, adjusted the engine output with the throttle lever, and successfully got out of the spin, but the shuttle that could not be trimmed just now was now flying crookedly. Not to mention doing any maneuvers, it was very difficult to fly back in a straight line.

"Set the mine fuse to two seconds, quick!"

Fang Lanyin held her dizzy head and shuddered when she heard the words. She quickly tapped the console to set the mine fuse.

The Manta Ray, flying crookedly, got behind a large ship wreckage. The pirate shuttle following closely behind was about to chase it when it saw an orange flash.

It looked like the Manta Ray, which was hit by a bullet, exploded on the ship wreckage. The pirate shuttle flew around the wreckage twice, and only some fragments of the explosion were seen.

Little did they know that the Manta was buried in the wreckage, no more than 20 meters away from the pirates' shuttle.

At this time, the Manta had turned off all engines and lights. Fang Lanyin looked up from the window on the front of the cockpit and could clearly see the graffiti on the fuselage of the pirate shuttle.

It was very dangerous at this time. As long as the pirates' shuttle turned on the high beam, the Manta would be nowhere to hide.

However, before he turned on the high beam, a string of machine gun shells attacked from the side, forcing the pirates to deploy a battle formation and immediately move away from the wreckage.

The next moment, the planetary defense team's space fighter flew by with the engine light dragging. Fang Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Chengxi on the other side of the screen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Using a machine mine to create an explosion is not only to create a smoke bomb for fake death, but also a signal flare to attract the planetary defense team.

Just now, I said that the battle line is advancing in the direction of the Manta, and the explosion flash here will definitely attract the attention of the planetary defense team.

Li Chengxi slowly released the joystick and turned off the firing button.

If the pirates' shuttle had turned on the high beam, he would have opened fire immediately, but that would have exposed him directly. Fortunately, the planetary defense team arrived quickly.
