Chapter 1391: Take You to the Battleship

Li Rui yelled in the driver’s seat. He couldn’t consider the traffic flow nearby and took a sharp turn into another road.

He forced several cars to stop in a row, and they almost got into a car accident. The drivers rolled down the windows and scolded. “You’re looking for death!” The road that was originally endless was suddenly congested. But Li Rui couldn’t be blamed. If he didn’t change his path just now, he would either run into the crazy crowd in front of him or slow down and cause a rear-end accident. Those people shouted slogans, pulled banners, and their careless postures were frightening.

Li Rui drove in the star-studded city traffic network for a long time before he completely got rid of the mad crowd that kept flowing.

He didn’t drive the car directly home, fearing that he would encounter a blockade halfway, and drove Xia Yingluo west of the city. “I have an apartment near He Ping Road that nobody knows about. I will take you there first.”

“Don’t! Drive forward! Go to Wei Lingnan’s base!” Xia Yingluo said.

Li Rui gave her a surprised look. “Why go there?”

“He’s looking for death. How dare he use the power of public opinion, I want to let him know what death means!” Xia Yingluo said with gritted teeth.

“Don’t mess around,” Li Rui said, but changed his direction and headed for Wei Lingnan’s base. “Are you going to quarrel with him? Or fight? We can’t possibly win over this fight, could we?”

“Who said I’m going to fight?” Xia Yingluo said, tearing up the long skirt that she had put on before she was discharged from the hospital. She didn’t care about Li Rui and formed a skirt style that was easy to move in, exposing her shapely beautiful legs.

Li Rui whistled. “Why are you my sister?”

Xia Yingluo rolled her eyes. “Park the car at the little lane there, and don’t let anyone notice it. We’ll go in through the side door.”

Li Rui whistled again. “Is it dangerous? I like it.” He parked the car in a secret place cooperatively, followed Xia Yingluo cheerfully, and sneaked towards the Wei family’s base. The two siblings had often gone out on furtive adventures since young and were very skilled partners. Furthermore, they had been in the base several times and had a good understanding of the structure, so they really dared to go in without alarming the police first.

“Where are you going?” Li Rui looked at the vast and precise base that looked like a honeycomb and was eager to explore.

Xia Yingluo said, “I’ll take you to see the spaceship.”

“What, spaceship?!” The frivolous Li Rui swore and his eyes lit up. While following Xia Yingluo into the heavily guarded base, he said excitedly, “Is there really a spaceship? The kind that you aliens use? Is it round like in the movie, and very powerful and spectacular?”

Xia Yingluo couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. “Shut up! Be quiet!”

She talked while jumping away from an unknown light scan alert.

Li Rui shut up obediently and copied her by jumping over the light, but the excitement in his eyes continued to increase.

Xia Yingluo took him round and round. She knew very well that since Wei Lingnan could come to Earth, he must have brought a spaceship. She knew the size of the Skatana starship and the storage conditions it needed. That time when she woke up, she already guessed where the spacecraft could be stored based on the structure. At this time, she carefully walked there, broke through the layers of alert, and came to the end of a white corridor.

“Is it right here?” Li Rui couldn’t restrain his excitement. Which boy didn’t want to see an alien spacecraft in his lifetime?

The end of the corridor was empty, with only one white, smooth wall. Xia Yingluo put her hand on the white wall, and a mysterious purple ripple passed through her, which was a scan of energy specific to the Skatana Planet. This scan was only for individuals. If the energy of the visitor did not match the energy fluctuation of the host who set this scan, it would be rejected and an alarm would be triggered.

That was to say, in theory, other than the Wei Lingnan who set it, other people couldn’t enter even if they had energy, such as Gu Jinxiu.

But Xia Yingluo was an exception. The queen was above all else, and she could unlock any energy lock set according to the rules of Skatana. The lilac ripple scanned her back and forth a few times, and the white wall quietly sunk inward, backing out and exposing a vast and huge space behind the wall. Xia Yingluo pulled Li Rui into the room, and the wall closed silently behind them.

That’s right, here it was.

Xia Yingluo was relieved. Her luck was good and she got it right with a single guess.

Actually, the crystallization of the Skatana’s fighting ability over hundreds of millions of years made it such that she was always able to find her target quickly. What was more, after so many years of life and death with Wei Lingnan, they knew each other extremely well.

Next to her, Li Rui looked up at the vast space and exclaimed. “Incredible. I didn’t expect there to be such a big space underground. This… is almost half of the Wei family’s base?” His head was raised so high that his neck was sore. Being in such a vast space was like being in a wide universe. “But, what about the spaceship?” He asked Xia Yingluo in confusion.

Wherever he looked, there were no huge ships like in his imagination. There was only darkness. And, in the center of the big space, there was a white jade-like platform on the ground. There was something suspended on the platform, emitting a dim lilac light.

Xia Yingluo walked over and grabbed it.

“What’s this?” Li Rui looked over and saw that it was a small cuboid. He didn’t know what material it was made of, but the cold reflection didn’t even shine. He was disappointed. “Didn’t you come here looking for a spaceship? Where’s the spaceship? Don’t tell me this is the spaceship.”

As soon as he spoke, he heard a slight buzz, as if something had been started.

That small and inconspicuous metal slowly unfolded in Xia Yingluo’s palm. Layer after layer, the paper that had been folded so small returned to its original shape. The thin translucent purple color was like a phantom, and soon it was built in midair and took the shape of an interstellar ship.

“UNX3026.” Xia Yingluo raised her head to look at it like Li Rui and said in a delirious suppressed tone.

Although she knew that Wei Lingnan must have brought a battleship out, she didn’t know which one it was. It turned out to be UNX3026. She was in disbelief. This kind of warship was only suitable for short-range explosive combat and wasn’t suitable for long-distance travel as it had poor durability. Back on the Skatana Planet, there had been several reports of self-explosion due to the overload operation of this warship.

How did Wei Lingnan drive it to Earth through billions of light-years?

He must have gone through a lot of hardships.

She looked up at the battleship, and the grid of the silent ship spread. Soon, the entire appearance was built—it was covered with potholes after being hit by meteorites and shells, and many places were used with various materials to repair it, so it looked dilapidated like a scavenger.
