Chapter 369 Mysterious Voice and the Appearance of Relics
Lin Yu's expression hardened, and he quickly responded into the communicator: "Who are you? Why are you stopping us? We've come to save the universe; finding the ruins of an ancient civilization is key." His voice echoed in the silent communication channel. After a brief silence, the mysterious voice spoke again: "Save the universe? You're too naive. This star system is cursed; any intruder will bring disaster."
Lin Yu frowned, disbelieving this baseless obstruction: "We've endured countless hardships; we won't back down because of a few words. The universe faces annihilation; only the power within the ruins might save everything. Please tell us the location of the ruins." The team members held their breath, staring intently at the communication equipment, awaiting a response from the mysterious voice.
After a long silence, the mysterious voice sighed softly, "Your courage is commendable. Since you insist on this, I will give you a hint. This ruin is not fixed on any one planet; it wanders among the energy nodes of the galaxy to protect its own secrets." Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope flashing in their eyes.
"Energy nodes? How can we find these nodes?" Lin Yu pressed. "You need to pay attention to places in the galaxy where energy fluctuations are abnormal; those are clues to the nodes. But remember, getting close to a node will trigger a protective mechanism, and it's fraught with danger." After the mysterious voice finished speaking, it fell silent.
Lin Yu immediately gathered his team to discuss countermeasures: "Listen up, everyone. We need to find areas with abnormal energy fluctuations; this is the key to finding the ruins. All warships, activate your highest-precision energy detectors and leave no stone unturned." The fleet quickly sprang into action, spreading out throughout the star system to conduct a thorough search.
Time ticked by, and the search yielded no results. The team members grew increasingly weary and anxious. Just as they were beginning to lose heart, a scout from one of the warships excitedly shouted, "Captain, we've detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the area ahead! The frequency of these fluctuations is very peculiar, unlike anything we've encountered before!"
Lin Yu's spirits lifted: "Attention everyone, move towards the area of fluctuation, remain vigilant." The fleet quickly assembled and headed towards the abnormal area. As they approached, the fluctuations intensified, and the instruments on the warships began to emit sharp alarms.
"Be careful, this fluctuation seems to contain a powerful energy surge that could erupt at any moment." Ellie stared nervously at the monitoring screen. Lin Yu gritted his teeth: "Keep moving forward, everyone prepare your protective gear."
As the fleet approached the core of the energy fluctuations, a massive energy storm swept towards them. "Activate the shields and withstand the attack with all your might!" Lin Yu shouted the order. The energy storm, like a surging tide, crashed against the warships' shields, causing the shields to flicker violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Amidst the howling storm, Lin Yu suddenly spotted a huge, faintly visible outline at the storm's center. "Look, there's something there! Maybe it's a ruin!" Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and became excited.
"Increase the shield power and charge in!" Lin Yu shouted firmly. The fleet struggled forward through the energy storm, each step incredibly difficult. Finally, they broke through the storm's barrier and arrived at the outline. Before them stood a massive circular structure, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, its surface covered with strange symbols and patterns—the very relics of the ancient civilization they had been searching for.
However, before they could even catch their breath, an energy shield suddenly rose around the ruins, and countless defensive weapons emerged from the structures, aiming at the fleet. "Damn it, the defense mechanism has been triggered!" Ellie exclaimed. Lin Yu quickly made a judgment: "Everyone on high alert, don't make any rash moves. First, try to establish communication with the ruins' defense system and state our purpose."
The communication equipment was quickly activated, and Lin Yu spoke into the communication channel: "We come from a distant universe, seeking the power to save it, and have no intention of damaging the ruins. Please deactivate the defenses; we need your help." However, only silence responded; the defensive weapons remained poised to fire.
Faced with the formidable defenses of these ruins, can the fleet overcome the crisis? And will they be able to successfully enter the ruins and obtain the key power to save the universe?
