Wandering Meteor-Chapter 116 Officially Starting the War

Boom! Boom!

In space, two explosions roared.

Before the explosions, the 25th Fleet of the Double Star Civilization had already begun to turn back.

And faster than the gigantic Cosmic Battleship was the Captain of the 25th Fleet, who had left the command room early.

However, just as the supremely confident captain had stepped out of the command room, he was urgently called by his subordinates.

He turned around impatiently, about to ask what the matter was, but he caught sight of the scene displayed on the battleship’s screen.

Instantly, he knew what had happened.

It turned out that they had fired two electromagnetic guns, each a hundred meters thick. With the speed of the escape pods, there was absolutely no way to avoid them; thus, all the Double Star People, including the captain, thought everything had ended. But it seemed to turn out exactly as they had envisioned—the electromagnetic guns hit the escape pods, causing them to explode.

However, the equipment on the battleship detected electromagnetic fluctuations more intense than before.

The Double Star People responsible for observation felt, from experience, that this did not seem like the energy fluctuation typical of electromagnetic guns hitting escape pods.

Since they had encountered similar situations more than ten times before, but the energy fluctuations recorded by the battleship were not even one-tenth of this intensity.

Thus, the observer started to manipulate the battle system to recreate the scene of the explosion behind them; he was just looking initially, but when the scene flashed on the screen, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock!

He immediately notified the captain.

When the captain turned around, he also saw the scene on the screen.

As the bright light formed by the electromagnetic guns dimmed rapidly, a massive Cosmic Battleship appeared from behind, and the two tiny escape pods had not been hit. They were already slowing down and docking into the embrace of that battleship.

At that moment, the Captain of the 25th Fleet understood.

It must have been that suddenly arriving battleship that fired two electromagnetic guns of similar Energy Levels to block that fatal hit for the escape pods.

It seemed then that this battleship, almost as huge as their 25th Fleet, must be the support from the other side, belonging to an Alien Civilization within the Wandering Alliance.

...

After decelerating, the two escape pods finally landed safely inside the rescue battleship.

The staff and doctors inside the rescue battleship went for the rescue immediately. The moment they opened the doors of the escape pods, the muscles on everyone’s faces involuntarily twitched with shock and sadness.

Because the people inside the escape pods were in such a terrible state, to call them human seemed an exaggeration, they were more like half-human, half-ghosts; their bodies were emaciated, their spirits were frail, their eye sockets were hollow, and their hair was dry and sparse. Every aspect illustrated the torture and pain they had endured over the past ten years.

Everyone could imagine, aside from the struggle for food, the mental torture had been the greatest pain. That those inside the escape pods had held on until now was truly admirable and pitiable.

At this moment.

Wan Liqi and another person inside the two escape pods, controlling their trembling bodies, tried to step out but realized they didn’t have the strength left, and they fell to the ground, fortunately caught in time by people nearby.

Because they were exceedingly weak—so weak that even this fall exhausted all their physical energy—they fainted right there in the arms of their rescuers.

On the rescue battleship, the doctor immediately had the two of them carried to the hospital beds and pushed towards the medical room, orderly checking their physical conditions as they moved.

When the doctor lifted Wan Liqi’s eyelids to examine her eyes, he was shocked to find two streams of hot tears flowing out.

Initially surprised, as Wan Liqi was clearly unconscious, the doctor soon realized that this might be an instinctive response of the biological body.

Realizing that she had finally been rescued after ten years of fleeing, and feeling the hope becoming reality, the excitement had infected her body before she fell unconscious, causing hot tears to instinctively flow!

Seeing this, the people on the rescue battleship couldn’t imagine what they had been through in these ten years.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside Earth’s Wandering Base.

Upon hearing that the rescue battleship had finally arrived in the nick of time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Wenye felt completely assured.

Soon after, Earth Civilization received a report from the rescue battleship.

The rescue battleship reported that it had successfully arrived at the planned location on time, but in the end, only two escape pods were rescued. The individuals inside the escape pods were safe but had suffered from ten years of malnutrition and torment, being severely malnourished, emaciated, and utterly exhausted, surviving solely on their willpower up to now.

Aside from reporting on the rescue mission, the rescue battleship also inquired if they should attack the Alien Civilization’s starship to rescue the fifteen captured humans.

After brief consultation, Earth Civilization and Captain Constant Star Lu Chen quickly made a decision.

They had already harbored intense murderous intent towards this Alien Civilization; since it had captured Earth People, they certainly must be rescued.

Moreover, they ordered that the Cosmic Battleship of the Alien Civilization be destroyed, to retaliate decisively.

However, Captain Constant Star Lu Chen requested the rescue battleship not to be overly hasty, but to first engage and keep the Alien Civilization’s Cosmic Battleship at bay.

Once the Wandering’s counterpart arrived, they would then coordinate together to attack the Alien Civilization’s Cosmic Battleship, with Wandering taking the lead in all commands at that time.

This decision was made because the scale of the rescue battleship was roughly the same as the opponents’, and a desperate battle would definitely also cause damage to their own side, so the best approach was to wait for the Wandering to arrive.

Since Wandering’s counterpart had departed a bit later than the rescue battleship, it would arrive a few hours later than expected.

"Fire at will!"

Upon receiving Captain Constant Star Lu Chen’s order, the rescue battleship didn’t hesitate and immediately activated the weapon systems launching an energy particle attack at the Double Star Civilization’s warship.

In fact, along the way, the rescue battleship had long heard of various despicable acts by the Alien Civilization and had pent up considerable anger in their hearts. Seeing Wan Liqi’s state after ten years of hardship seemed to ignite an unstoppable fury within them.

They vowed to avenge those who had suffered torments over these ten years and those who had already sacrificed their lives!

Yet, despite their burning anger, they maintained a certain level of calm and did not rashly approach the Double Star Civilization’s warship. They merely kept slowing the opponent’s speed with continual energy particle attacks.

Facing the Earth Battleship’s particle attack, the 25th Fleet of the Double Star Civilization was unafraid, launching an energy particle attack of the same Energy Level to intercept it and relentlessly counterattacking the Earth Battleship.

This officially declared the start of the war between Earth Civilization and Double Star Civilization.
