Chapter 582: Request for Connection (2/2)
Sang Kan continued, ignoring Mei Wu's look. ”No need to glare at me. I'm just telling you what I know. If you don't care for your life, we won't bother to save you.” Mei Wu's expression became unreadable. Sang Kan smiled coldly and added, ”Don't try anything funny, or I'll kill you.”
The Sang Tribe were never a people of kindness and generosity. Their leader, Ye Chong, was also a man who believed in only strength. Hence, members of the Sang Tribe were easily influenced by Ye Chong's way of doing things.
Mei Wu's chest tightened. She understood the warning directed towards her. The young man was cold and ready to kill, but the woman in white beside him was unreadable. Mei Wu could not figure her out.
Suddenly, a commotion started in the stampede, interrupting their exchange. The animals turned even crazier as they began to force their way into the crack without care for their lives.
The pressure on Mei Wu increased. One of the animals was able to breach her defense line.
Sang Kan darted forward and struck his wooden spear into the creature.
Rui Bing summoned Guardian and stepped into the fight. The situation quickly got out of control, to everyone's surprise.
The battle turned bloody. Rui Bing and Sang Kan stepped in pools of blood. Inside the crack, the air had the stench of blood. The animals behaved even more crazily, perhaps due to the scent of blood.
In just a short moment, the crack's entrance was piled up high with animal bodies. Rui Bing and Sang Kan had to climb up the body pile to fight the animals. Mei Wu's gun was out. She had only one last piece of energy crystal left. Now, she could only watch quietly as Rui Bing and Sang Kan fought.
Mei Wu's retreat from the battle put more pressure on Rui Bing and Sang Kan. Sang Kan thought it was crazy that his wooden spear was still intact so far. The Sang Family had long battled against wild animals, and now Sang Kan used all the moves and strategies he learned to fight. His inhuman strength allowed him to easily stab into the flesh of these wild animals.
On the other hand, the woman struck fast but without much killing intent. Mei Wu found it difficult to believe that something like Guardian existed. Rui Bing wielded her two sharp daggers impressively.
Rui Bing focused on the battle. She had fought enemies as strong as these animals before. Compared to that fight against the Blue Crown Serpents, she had Guardian this time, which made it easier for her.
Rumble! The ground shook. Rui Bing quickly took a few steps back. The pile of animals bodies they were stepping on suddenly collapsed. The animals outside were pushing the bodies away. The four humans inside the crack inhaled sharply at the turn of events.
Rui Bing was so focused on the battle that she did not see a blinking light in the top right corner of her vision. It was a hailing signal.
…
The armor for the warship's hull was almost complete. The amount of metal alloy it took to build the armor was staggering. Ye Chong had used up all the rare metals he dug up from a few mineral reserves just for these armor plates. Any piece of armor plate used on the hull could sell for a sky high price in the Five Galaxies of the He Yue Galaxy. This must be the most luxurious and expensive warship armor in the world. However, it also had the best defensive properties.
Ye Chong had done the experiments. Even a ship cannon would need at least 10 shots on the exact same location to breach the hull armor.
Once the hull armor was installed, the general shape of the entire warship was visible to everyone who could see it. The 10-kilometer ship length was decided based on the Sabre, the first luxury class Slan grade starship Ye Chong had ever seen. Back then, Ye Chong was so greatly impressed by the magnificence of the Sabre. Now, his people were feeling the same thing. They gaped and stared at the massive being, unable to believe their eyes.
The ship was massive even when seen in outer space, much less on land. It was an impressive and staggering view.
Suddenly, Ye Chong's comm device rang.
Ye Chong connected the device. His expression turned serious, and he rushed inside the stronghold.
Ever since the pulse signal relay tower was set up, Ye Chong organized a comms room just for it. Students in the comms room were responsible for connecting to and receiving information from the Hummingbirds.
”What happened?” Ye Chong entered the comms room and asked without preamble.
The students quickly stood up in greeting. ”We identified an unknown signal carrier and tried to establish contact with it. However, the other party has not responded so far” After a long period of training, the students now behaved more professionally.
”Unknown signal carrier?” Ye Chong's eyes widened. He had used public, unencrypted signals for his pulsed signal relay tower. This was because no one else in this world would use pulsed signals. As long as a device was fitted with a comms device, it would automatically search for pulsed signals in the surroundings, especially public ones. However, connection can only be established when both parties agreed to it.
Ye Chong asked in a low voice, ”Can you get their location?”
”Exact location is unknown, but we have a general estimate. It's much deeper inside than the furthest we have been.” A student replied.
Who could this signal carrier be? Was it from the He Yue Galaxy or the Five Galaxies? Was it from a starship or a mech?
”Keep requesting for a connection.” Ye Chong gave the order without delay.
”Yes sir.” The student replied. Everyone in the room could see that their commander placed great importance on this unknown signal carrier.
Ye Chong sat inside the comms room without expression. He stared unblinkingly at the connection request displayed on the holographic screen.
”Request for connection … Request for connection …”
