Chapter 2088 We are all living hard

"All active defenses activated! Warp drive at maximum load! Get out of here!"

Li Yi's voice echoed in the cockpit, revealing a hint of panic and urgency.

He stared at Zoe on the screen with his eyes wide open, not expecting her to act so decisively. The Fifth Fleet was built by China with a lot of resources and effort. If it was lost here, he would definitely not be able to bear the responsibility.

All possible consequences flashed through Li Yi's mind. He knew that he would become a sinner of China. At this moment, he could no longer care about Li Lingzhi's safety, because he knew very well that unless the United States was really crazy, it would never attack Li Lingzhi. After all, the revenge brought by the two angry and irrational strongmen was definitely not something that the United States could afford.

However, fleets are different. They are targets that can be destroyed, and this is what Li Yi is most worried about.

At the moment Li Yi gave the order, the energy around Kunpeng began to surge, as if stimulated by a powerful force. The active defense system was quickly activated, and a layer of transparent energy shield was deployed around the hull to protect it tightly.

At this critical moment, the engine suddenly emitted a low and shocking roar, as if an enraged beast was about to release all its power. This sound made people's heart beat faster, and it also meant that the engine had been urgently fully loaded and was doing its best to absorb huge energy.

This energy was like a raging torrent, continuously pouring into the engine, as if to burst it. Under the impact of this powerful energy, the engine trembled slightly, as if telling of the huge pressure it was under.

However, all this was within Zoe's expectations. Her huge mental power was like an invisible net that had already covered all the star fields within a radius of dozens of kilometers. In this area, any attempt to make a space jump would be severely disrupted, or even completely impossible.

Li Yi originally hoped to escape from this dangerous place through space jump, but Zoe's mental strength was like an insurmountable wall, completely shattering his plan.

Not only that, Zoe's methods were far more than that. She clapped her hands fiercely, and a powerful mental force suddenly burst out like a flash of lightning. Within the range of her mental force, the space collapsed instantly, like a building with its support removed, collapsing to the ground.

This sudden space collapse caught everyone off guard. The crew of Fleet No. 5 watched in horror as the space around them continued to twist and crack, as if the whole world was falling apart at this moment.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Li Lingzhi's face became extremely solemn, and a strong sense of anxiety surged in her heart. Seeing Zoe approaching step by step, she had no time to think about it, and her figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Li Lingzhi appeared in front of Zoe like a ghost. However, Zoe seemed unusually calm about Li Lingzhi's sudden appearance, and even spoke cheerfully.

"Hey, you're finally here."

"You can't stop me. The old man won't let me touch you. You'd better not run around. Otherwise, don't look for me if you are killed by the aftermath."

Faced with Zoe's arrogance, Li Lingzhi did not refute, but took practical action.

Li Lingzhi stretched out her hands, stacked them one in front of the other, and in an instant, a bright flame flashed by, and a pillar of fire with a diameter of several kilometers gushed out right in front of Zoe's face.

In an instant, the surging column of fire enveloped Zoe, and the mental power that was stirring the void also stagnated at this moment. Seeing Zoe being enveloped by the column of fire, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. If possible, Li Yi did not want Li Lingzhi to anger Zoe.

This guy is so crazy that even the strongest person in his own family will scold him.

Sure enough, although the fire pillar was fierce, it did not last too long. Suddenly, tiny dots of icy air began to burst out from the fire pillar. These icy air seemed to have been suppressed for a long time. Once released, they expanded rapidly like a volcanic eruption.

In the blink of an eye, the icy air enveloped the entire pillar of fire, forming a thick layer of ice crystals. The raging flames were still burning under the ice crystals, but they could not break through the shackles of the ice crystals and could only struggle in it.

Li Lingzhi looked at the scene in front of her without showing much surprise on her face. She knew very well that even though Zoe was seriously injured and her strength was greatly reduced, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it would not be easy to hit her with one strike.

However, Li Lingzhi's goal was not to defeat Zoe directly, but to delay her actions and buy more time and opportunities for the fleet. Now it seems that her strategy has begun to bear fruit, the fire column has been frozen, and Zoe's attack has been temporarily curbed.

However, just when Li Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened. The frozen pillar of fire suddenly made a loud noise and shattered instantly. Then, an extremely powerful and extremely cold air gushed out from it, like a ferocious beast, roaring in the void of the universe.

This extremely cold air quickly gathered and eventually turned into a huge ice snake. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and stared at Li Lingzhi viciously, as if it was going to swallow her up in the next moment.

Facing such a horrific scene, Li Lingzhi seemed unusually calm. She did not try to dodge, but stood still and quietly watched the huge ice snake pounce on her. This scene made Li Yi break out in a cold sweat, and he could not help but shout.

"Li Lingzhi, get out of the way!"

What is this doing?

The giant ice crystal snake swallowed the place where Li Lingzhi was in one gulp. When its upper and lower jaws closed, even the surrounding void trembled a little, and Li Lingzhi disappeared completely.

Li Yi's eyes were about to burst when he saw this. Although he could probably judge that Li Lingzhi had a backup plan, what if? ? If Li Lingzhi was in danger, it would definitely be a big event.

Don't underestimate people with connections. If anything happens to Li Lingzhi, China's two most powerful fighters will probably go crazy.

Just when everyone felt hopeless, the giant ice snake's head suddenly shattered, as if it had been hit hard. The broken ice fragments slowly floated around in the gravity-free universe.

Li Lingzhi stood there peacefully, but there was one more person beside her.

Li Yi, who was relieved, saw the person next to Li Lingzhi and his eyes widened instantly in disbelief.

Why is she here?

I saw that the person next to Li Lingzhi was Cui Yingying!

At this time, Cui Yingying's face was pale and her lips had lost their color, just like Ye Ye who had experimented on himself and drained away his own vitality.

"Hey, little guy, you're recovering well. Can you get out of bed now?"

Cui Yingying put her hands on her hips, looked at Zoe not far away with an arrogant look, and spoke.

The moment she saw Cui Yingying, the smile on Zoe's face disappeared and turned into astonishment. Finally, her face became completely gloomy, like ice.

"old woman!"

Zoe spoke word by word, gritting her teeth. In an instant, the mental power that was entangled with Fleet No. 5 disappeared, and the huge mental power returned to Zoe's body. The appearance of Cui Yingying instantly made Zoe change her target. Although in the headset on her left ear, the voices of the top leaders of the United States were hoarse from shouting, asking her to destroy Fleet No. 5 first and then deal with Cui Yingying, but Zoe didn't care at all.

"It's no use talking more."

Hearing the three words from Zoe's mouth, Cui Yingying's face darkened and she said in a cold voice.

After saying that, Cui Yingying looked at Li Lingzhi, and Li Lingzhi nodded when she saw that.

"Space Cage!"

The two women held hands, and their mental powers were connected together. Nine dark pillars instantly took shape around Zoe, intertwining with each other and directly covering Zoe. The speed was so fast that Zoe didn't even have time to react.

The intense mental consumption made Cui Yingying's already bad complexion even paler, and even her figure became a little illusory. Li Lingzhi, who noticed this, looked at Cui Yingying with a questioning look, while Cui Yingying silently shook her head.

Li Yi also realized at this moment that the Cui Yingying in front of him was not Cui Yingying's real body, but Cui Yingying's clone!

Cui Yingying already has the ability to create a clone. During thousands of years of research, she transferred her abilities as a spiritual cultivator to her clone, while her original body remains a physical cultivator.

Obviously, when Li Lingzhi was about to become a star, Cui Yingying's spiritual cultivator clone had already followed Li Lingzhi. She was Li Lingzhi's last trump card.

You know, Cui Yingying's clone alone possesses the strength of a super-star-level warrior in his prime. After the divine bodies are combined, the sum of one is greater than two. This is why Cui Yingying is called the Valkyrie and stands out from the crowd.

Although this clone was injured, with the assistance of Li Lingzhi, trapping Zoe was not a problem at all.

Unfortunately, the two still underestimated Zoe's malice towards Cui Yingying. Nine giant pillars intertwined in the void, sealing Zoe tightly inside. Li Yi, who thought he was safe, suddenly changed his expression.

Because the display screen in front of him showed that an energy fusion was taking place at Zoe's location!

Without his reminder, Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying also felt the energy fusion and looked towards Zoe's location at the same time.

"run!"

Cui Yingying frowned and didn't care about anything else. She quickly put her arm around Li Lingzhi's shoulder. Li Lingzhi nodded, and with a space distortion, she took Cui Yingying back to the cockpit of the Kunpeng.

Without bothering with greetings, Cui Yingying looked directly at Li Yi.

"Space jump! Quick! Get out of here!"

Li Yi looked at his unresponsive first mate and cursed.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Go! Her words are my words!"

The first mate finally reacted at this time and quickly gave orders.

In an instant, the entire No. 5 fleet entered into space jump and disappeared in an instant.

However, a horrific space collapse occurred where Zoe was.

With Zoe as the center point, all the void around her was collapsing towards her. At this moment, Zoe seemed to have become a black hole, madly devouring any objects around her, even light.

For a moment, the whole area seemed to have entered a thunderstorm zone, with lightning and thunder. Charlie looked at this scene that seemed like a natural disaster, his face pale.

Because Zoe is too close to Planet No. 7, if her suicidal attack continues to expand, it may affect Planet No. 7!

But it was obvious that Zoe still had some reason. The storm soon died down. Her body was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and she was no longer the calm Zoe she had been before. She stood at the center of the storm, looking at the place where Fleet No. 5 left, and remained silent for a long time.

She was trapped. If Fleet No. 5 launched another strong attack on Planet No. 7, with Cui Yingying's arrival, Planet No. 5 would have no room to resist.

In desperation, she could only detonate most of her mental power and forcibly tear apart the space cage created by Cui Yingying and Li Lingzhi, and see if she could involve Cui Yingying and Li Lingzhi as well. Unfortunately, Cui Yingying was very decisive. After realizing that Zoe had detonated her own mental power and wanted to escape, she left the scene directly, leaving Zoe with no place to use her strength.

Now, it will take at least one or two years for Zoe's mental strength to recover. However, in order to trap her, Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying's mental strength has probably been exhausted, so they probably won't be able to take action in a short period of time.

In order to prevent Zoe from being destroyed, Fleet No. 5 would not dare to attack back in a short period of time, and the crisis was finally resolved.

Zoe, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, slowly closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while. Charlie did not dare to disturb Zoe. For a moment, the Star Region No. 7, which was so noisy just now, became silent.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

"No! Who the hell activated the underground docking canopy?"

"Who is it! Quick! Dock underground! The Dreadnought is launched!"

Suddenly, Charlie's face changed, and he looked at the data that suddenly popped up on the screen in front of him and shouted in confusion.

"Dauntless? Impossible! Isn't the warp core missing?"

Charlie's men were also a little panicked and spoke in a lost voice.

"It's them! Those three damn Chinese! Quick! Intercept them! Don't damage the Dauntless! If you damage the Dauntless! All of you will be court-martialed!"

At this time, Ye Ye, Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi were busy in the cockpit of the Dreadnaught.

"Hey! Brother Ye! Don't move there! That's the fire control system! If the photon torpedo is launched here, it will blow us all into pieces!"

"Uncle Liu! That's the self-destruct button! Stop it now!"

Lu Yue was busy running around with a look of despair on his face. Ye Ye and Liu Zhuangshi had no idea how to fly a starship. Although they wanted to help, they were obviously making things worse.

"Don't move! I've set it up! The United States relies heavily on autopilot. This mothership is equipped with an extremely complete autopilot. We just need to enter the destination!"

Lu Yue sat on the captain's throne, constantly manipulating the light curtain in front of him. After finishing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Ye Ye and Liu Zhuangshi decided not to help blindly, but came over curiously to see what the autonomous driving looked like.

"Huh? There are traces of a jump here. Did a fleet pass by here just now?"

"Why are there unidentified creatures on the route? Never mind. This mothership is so strong, it shouldn't be damaged."

"The sensor must have sensed something wrong. It's probably space junk."

"Talk to my super alloy shell."

“We are all living our lives to the fullest.”
