Chapter 785 Seizing the Ship
"Bam—"

Fu Qinghai stared intently at the metal gate riddled with holes that was getting closer and closer. With a loud bang, the metal gate ripped open, and the scene before him suddenly changed into a hangar space filled with various miscellaneous items and mining machinery.

The moment the TIE fighter jet crashed into the hangar gate, the black solar panels on both sides curled and broke off, leaving only a bare, eyeball-shaped cockpit and connecting arms on both sides. Without any deceleration or braking, the cockpit slammed heavily onto the hangar deck, sliding forward rapidly and overturning piles of debris and machinery, producing a piercing, screeching sound and leaving a trail of bright sparks.

The impact of this magnitude would have been enough to kill an ordinary pilot on the spot. However, Fu Qinghai was still firmly secured to the cockpit by the seatbelt. The violent collision and turbulence did not throw him off. On the contrary, after crashing into the hangar, his hands were still tightly gripping the control stick, and he did not stop firing for a moment. The cockpit slid and turned half a circle on the deck, and the two blast cannons that were constantly firing also turned half a circle.

“Jiu! Jiu! Jiu! Jiu…”

Dense green bursts of energy swept across the cramped hangar, the continuous flashes of green light and clearly visible beam trails sending debris flying everywhere. Tiny screws and springs clanged and clattered as they splintered, and the energy beams carved a row of dark red, scorching holes into the hangar walls.

The unfortunate aliens in the hangar had no idea that a TIE fighter jet would crash into them. Their faces were still filled with astonishment. Before they could even let out a scream or a groan, they were swept by a series of thick energy beams. The parts of their bodies that were hit instantly vaporized and disappeared.

After a burst of gunfire, the entire hangar was left in ruins, with no humanoid creatures standing in it anymore... Fu Qinghai finally released his grip on the trigger.

Fu Qinghai was about to unbuckle his seatbelt when he found that the buckle was locked. So he casually tore off the seatbelt, got out of his seat, and tried to open the cockpit door. He found that the door was also stuck due to the impact. So he kicked it hard, and the heavy metal door popped open with a "bang".

Fu Qinghai drew his sidearm from his belt, a simple and compact DC-17 blaster pistol, his only weapon, and then bent down and crawled out of the hatch.

"Biu!"

As soon as Fu Qinghai crawled out of the hatch, he raised his hand and fired a shot. A one-eyed, green-skinned, scraggly alien hiding behind the hatch fell straight down, holding a high-energy rifle.

Fu Qinghai walked to the corpse and looked down. It was an ugly alien with a strangely long and narrow head. In the middle of the head was a single white eye with a narrow pupil. The skin was dark green and rough. The face was covered with white hair. The open mouth revealed a mouthful of uneven and rotten teeth.

The Abyss.

Fu Qinghai recognized the race.

Fu Qinghai picked up his blaster rifle, an A-300 blaster rifle, and after briefly checking whether the bolt assembly was normal, he headed towards the hangar exit.

The hangar space was small, even cramped; after all, the CR90 frigate is only 150 meters long, so the hangar couldn't be very large. Fu Qinghai recalled that this type of warship could only carry a maximum of three A-wing fighter jets.

Fu Qinghai walked through the messy hangar and saw seven or eight more Abyss corpses. Apart from those that were completely smashed, Fu Qinghai shot each of them in the head without exception, even those missing limbs.

The Abyss are a rather unique race.

They originated from the twin star systems of Bes and Abyss, whose home planet is a barren desert planet. In order to survive in the extreme environment and to conserve precious water and energy, the Abyss people have significantly fewer redundant organs. They only have one eye, one lung, and one kidney. Furthermore, the Abyss people have a regenerative ability that allows them to quickly heal wounds and grow new limbs.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai would shoot any Abyss man whose torso and head were still intact.

After finishing off the gun, Fu Qinghai took off his heavy one-piece spacesuit and pilot helmet, wearing only a simple T-shirt and shorts. He picked up the explosive rifle and strode towards the warship's passageway.

His ears caught the sound of rapid footsteps coming from behind the corner of the passage. Fu Qinghai stopped, raised his blast rifle, and fired several shots at the empty entrance of the passage. Almost at the same time his finger pulled the trigger, two Abyss men carrying guns ran out from behind the passage.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The two Abyssians seemed to have willingly taken the energy beam with their faces. Two charred, smoking holes appeared on their dark green heads covered in white hair, and then they fell down without a sound.

Force perception, the moment it appears.

Several gasps rang out from behind the corner of the passage, and the hurried footsteps came to a halt. Fu Qinghai knew that they were currently hesitating behind the corner, and he could hear whispers and angry curses in a foreign language, though he couldn't understand them.

Fu Qinghai didn't give them any more time to discuss or hesitate. He raised his palm and pushed hard towards the corner of the passage. An invisible force, like a wall, pierced through the entire passage. The six Abyss people squeezed behind the corner were sent flying in all directions like bowling pins, crashing into the floor, walls, and ceiling of the passage, their bones breaking and blood spurting from their mouths.

Fu Qinghai, carrying his explosive rifle, strode through the narrow passage and took out shots from the six Abyss people lying crookedly in the corners of the passage. After finishing them off, he raised his rifle and aimed it at the surveillance cameras on the ceiling of the passage, accurately taking out the surveillance equipment one shot at a time so that the enemy could no longer see him, and then continued to sweep forward.

……

Fu Qinghai once boarded an even larger ship alone, a massive 24-kilometer-long warship, the Queen Glory-class battleship, HMS Vengeance. The difference between a 150-meter-long CR90 light frigate and a Queen Glory-class battleship is like the difference between a house and a city.

Of course, at that time, Fu Qinghai was wearing the Ghost Armor, his most powerful armor, which was so strong that it was almost invincible. Even the Chaos Demon could not stop his slaughter.

Although Fu Qinghai currently lacks powered armor and a lightsaber, he could easily take down a mere 150-meter-long light frigate with his bare hands.

His only weapon was a captured A-300 blast rifle, but with the "Force Perception" cheat that granted him full map vision and X-ray vision, along with superhuman reflexes and aiming accuracy comparable to auto-aiming, Fu Qinghai, with just one gun, was already close to destroying the entire frigate.

At this moment, on the bridge of the frigate.

Several Abyssians gathered on the bridge, their expressions growing increasingly panicked as they watched the monitors go black, section by section. The main engine room, the engine room deck, the crew quarters, the turbine laser cannon battery control room… each blacked-out section meant another area of ​​the ship had fallen. Panic was spreading through the bridge; no one could stop the lone Imperial soldier.

"He's all alone, he's all alone!"

The Abyss leader waved his hands frantically and said:

"You fucking can't even handle one person?"

"Uh, wait a minute, boss..."

An Abyssian swallowed hard, turned to look at the still clouds outside the bridge window, and said:

"Our ship... seems to have stopped."

"I tried to do something, but nothing happened!"

Another Abyssian, standing in front of the control panel, kept pressing a button, then turned around, sweating profusely, and said:

"It seems he turned off the ion engine."

He also knows how to shut down a warship's engines?

This question arose in the minds of several Abyssians.

"What are you waiting for? Close the explosion-proof doors on the bridge!"

The Abyss leader roared at his men.

Several subordinates hurriedly began to operate the hatch leading to the bridge. The hatch closed, and the two heavy metal doors slowly closed and locked, making a hissing sound as they sealed.

……

Fu Qinghai carried his gun all the way to the bridge entrance. Looking at the heavy metal hatch in front of him, which was tightly closed, he put down his rifle and smiled speechlessly.

Isn't this... just deceiving yourself?
I've already shut down the ion engines. Your ship has stopped, completely still, hovering tens of kilometers above the surface of Sereno. What can you do by closing the doors and hiding inside? Hide and wait to die?

Fu Qinghai shook his head and left the passage.

……

The entrance to the frigate's warehouse.

Two Abyssian corpses lie here.

"Oh!"

Fu Qinghai grabbed an Abyss man by the back of his collar with one hand and slammed him against the wall. The Abyss man was immediately smashed in, his head bleeding profusely and his vision blurred. He struggled desperately, flailing his limbs. Then he was dragged and slammed against the wall again. With a dull thud, the Abyss man howled in pain.

"I told you to open the warehouse!"

Fu Qinghai spoke to the Abyss in the basic language.

“Om da ji gu lu a ga luo…”

The other person uttered a string of words in a foreign language that was incomprehensible to them.

"Open the door for me!"

Fu Qinghai switched to Hett language and gave a loud command.

This time, the Abyss seemed to understand. He stopped struggling, and Fu Qinghai released his grip on the back of his collar. The Abyss rolled over on the floor, touched the wall, stood up, and reached out to enter the password on the control panel next to the hatch.

"Beep beep beep beep... Sizzle!"

The heavy metal hatch slid open to both sides.

The Abyssian man suffered a sharp pain in the back of his head, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Fu Qinghai walked into the warehouse carrying a gun.

The warehouse was filled with boxes nailed together with wooden planks, stacked all the way to the ceiling. Fu Qinghai came to a box, grabbed a plank, and casually tore it open and snapped it in two. A bunch of light purple crystal shards rolled out with a "clatter".

"Siloxane oxalate..."

Fu Qinghai read aloud the words sprayed on the wooden box.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and glanced around at the boxes. The boxes were sprayed with various unfamiliar mineral names: Nongshi, Duensu, Longmishi, Kolinsu... Some were ordinary wooden boxes, while others were thick iron-gray lead buckets, indicating that some of the ores might have relatively strong radioactivity.

Fu Qinghai didn't know what these terms meant, but he guessed that the ore was probably very valuable, and might even have some kind of military strategic value. Otherwise, the Abyss smuggling gang wouldn't have used a warship to transport it, even if it was an old, decommissioned, second-hand light frigate.

But what he was looking for wasn't ore.

Fu Qinghai searched around the warehouse and finally found what he was looking for behind several boxes of ore.

Two whole boxes of thermal explosives.

There is also a corresponding detonator.

That's right, there's no mining without explosives.

Fu Qinghai got into a forklift in the warehouse and, without any instruction, operated the forklift arm to lift two boxes of thermal explosives. Then he turned the forklift around and drove along the passage towards the bridge.

The thermal explosives and the heavy radium nuclear combination lock thermal grenades carried by Imperial Stormtroopers are probably the same thing, and the explosive boxes also have the logo of the Explosives Technology Company.

……

The interior of the bridge of a frigate.

"Is that guy still outside?"

An Abyssian asked in a low voice.

"How should I know? Why don't you go out and take a look?"

Another Abyssian said irritably.

"Aren't we going to go out and take a look?"

An Abyssian nearby countered with a question:
"Are we just going to stay in the bridge like this? There are escape pods in the hangar. Let's break out together, rush to the hangar, and then we can use the escape pods to leave the frigate."

What if he continues to guard the door?

"So we're just going to be stuck here and wait to die?"

Several Abis were embroiled in a heated argument.

The Abyss leader fell into deep thought.

He was also debating whether to try to break through.

Just as he was pondering.

"boom----"

A deafening roar, accompanied by an explosion that shook the entire warship, came from the hatch. Several Abyssians on the bridge were caught off guard and thrown out by the shockwave, tumbling across the floor. A large, melted hole appeared in the blast-proof hatch, and thick white smoke billowed in from outside.

"Fire!!"

Despite the pain all over his body, the Abyss chieftain, who was lying on the floor, raised his blaster pistol, pointed it at the door, and roared.

"Biu!" "Biu!" "Biu!" "Biu!"

All the Abyssians on the bridge, some crouching and some lying down, simultaneously raised their weapons and fired at the smoke-filled hatches, their red and green energy beams disappearing into the smoke and dust.

"Biu!" "Biu!" "Biu!" "Biu!"

The leader did not order a ceasefire, and the Abyssians continued to pull the trigger and fire, even though they could not see the enemy, as if this could dispel their fear.

The others stopped firing as soon as one of the blaster rifles overheated and stopped firing.

As the thick smoke at the hatchway thinned slightly, the Abyssians could finally see the passageway outside the huge hole, which was empty except for the large crater left by the explosion.

"He...is not outside."

An Abyssian murmured.

At this moment, their eyes were all fixed on the cave entrance, and their guns were all aimed at it. Their nerves were on edge, but none of them noticed that on the ceiling above them, a human carrying a blaster rifle was silently lying on it with his palms outstretched, like an upside-down gecko.

Force skill, Golden Touch.

Fu Qinghai freed one hand to unfasten the blaster rifle, while his other hand and two feet remained firmly attached to the ceiling. He raised the rifle with one hand, aimed at the several Abyss people below who were still completely unaware, planned the firing sequence slightly, and then pulled the trigger on the person who looked like the leader.

"Biu!"

The Abyss leader fell to the ground.

Before the other Abyssians could react, gunshots rang out from above, and three more Abyssians were blown to the head. When the last Abyssian finally came to his senses and looked up, all he saw in his single white eye was an ever-growing fist.

"Bang—smack!"

The fluid inside the eyeball burst open.

…………

Three hours later, the abandoned mining area.

The CR90 corvette is slowly descending.

At this moment, the valley below the warship was completely surrounded. The top of the valley was filled with army soldiers in black clothes and helmets and assault team members in white armor, holding guns and looking menacingly. Two towering AT-ATs stood in the colorful stream, their huge circular platforms cutting off the water flow.

Three TIE fighters and two TIE bombers were also circling and following the frigate in the sky.

A cloud of dust rose up from the valley.

The frigate landed smoothly on the ground.

Colonel Edmund Walpole stood in the co-pilot's seat of an open-top military landship, his brow furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he stared at the frigate slowly descending in the distance.

"This smuggling ring has a frigate."

Colonel Walpole glanced sideways at the woman beside him:

Why didn't you say this in the intelligence report?

"The situation was quite urgent at the time..."

The woman explained, looking somewhat embarrassed:

"My agent didn't have time to explain."

The woman was dressed in a pale white belted uniform and lantern-shaped black riding breeches, the breeches tucked into black leather riding boots. Her hair was tied up and she wore a flat-topped mountain hat, indicating that she was an officer of the Imperial Security Bureau.

"Be careful next time."

The colonel withdrew his gaze and looked ahead, speaking calmly.

"……OK."

The female officer from the Imperial Security Bureau pursed her lips and replied.

The Imperial Security Bureau and the Imperial Army are two different systems with no subordinate relationship. Normally, the Imperial Security Bureau can mobilize local troops to assist and cooperate. However, Colonel Walpole is, after all, the highest military commander of the Serenno Star Imperial Military Base, and the Imperial Security Bureau's office is also located within the base. Therefore, the woman held back her outburst.

The frigate remained silently in the valley after landing. About five minutes later, two solitary figures emerged from the boarding gate.

A tall, burly, barefoot human man, dressed in a simple T-shirt and shorts, held a black blaster rifle in one hand and pushed a one-eyed, green-skinned alien whose arm and mouth were tightly bound with the other.

The army soldiers and stormtroopers standing around the valley with their guns on their hands looked at the scene before them, turned to look at each other, and their eyes revealed an expression of disbelief and shock.

"Incredible, incredible..."

Colonel Edmund Walpole shook his head and whispered:

“He actually did it.”

Is it really possible for someone to take over a frigate all by themselves?

The female officer from the Imperial Security Bureau also wore an expression of disbelief.

Fu Qinghai stood on the deck at the boarding gate, pushed the prisoner next to him forward, and the Abyss man, whose hands were tied behind his back, staggered forward a few steps, then knelt down with a "thump" in front of all the Imperial soldiers.

Colonel Walpole smiled with satisfaction.
