The commander suppressed the roiling blood and qi in his chest and took in a deep breath before commanding once more, "Shift to low gear immediately . " He still remembered that the ship was running low on power — it wouldn't do to exhaust all their power . Although they had already come out to the starry skies, temporarily escaping the Swift Dragon base, the commander knew that in outer space, the Swift Dragon fleet still had several ships on duty patrolling the area . If they happened to bump into those ships by chance, as a ship without power, they would definitely be at the other's mercy . Having gone through so much trouble to escape from the Swift Dragon base, he did not want to die here now and be stranded back at the Swift Dragon base again .
The team member responsible for shifting gears immediately pulled the speed control back to low gear . The starship's power had already fallen to 70% at present — if they had been a minute slower in charging through the atmospheric layer, they would most likely have been dragged by gravity back to the Swift Dragon base due to running out of power . Just entertaining the possibility sent chills down everyone's spines .
Shifting to low gear, the starship began to slowly cruise through the starry skies, accumulating power as it went along . They needed to store up 100% power as soon as they could, and then leave this place at high speed . As the commander waited for the power to accumulate, he could not help but pray that their luck would hold out so they would not bump into any of the patrol ships of the Swift Dragon base . Of course, he also hoped that the ships on the ground would not ascend so quickly; otherwise, up against the dozens of warships of the Swift Dragon fleet, they would have no chance at all of escaping .
It should be said that the luck of the commander's group was decent . Before they were at full power again, they were not discovered by any of the Swift Dragon patrol ships . About 10 minutes later, the starship was back at 100%, and then it flew rapidly towards the central district .
Twenty minutes later, the Swift Dragon fleet successfully rose into the air . Thirty military vessels of various sizes made up the Swift Dragon fleet . The fleet began to search for clues to the whereabouts of the hijacked starship . Unfortunately, they found nothing useful . This frustrated the fleet's captain — as long as a ship had been through the area, it would definitely leave some trace of energy behind, but there was nothing of the sort in this planetary sector . It was as if the starship that had lifted into the air thirty minutes ago had never existed .
With no clues, the Swift Dragon fleet could only resort to the crude method of searching in the general direction of the central district . This slowed them down significantly, allowing the starship moving in high gear to pull further away from them .
The primary hero who had obscured their tracks from the Swift Dragon fleet was Little Four . Without requiring any instruction from Ling Lan, Little Four had scrambled the locations the starship had passed through . In other words, it would be impossible for the devices on the warships to track their flight path .
This was part of Little Four's abilities . He could render advanced high-tech equipment useless or mess up their readings . Of course, he could only affect the Swift Dragon fleet's devices so thoroughly because Ling Lan's group was currently in the virtual world . If this were in the real world, Little Four might not be able to achieve such a godly effect .
With Little Four helping from the shadows, the starship would detect the enemy's presence before it could encounter any patrol ships of the Swift Dragon fleet . Thus, the commander had enough time to employ evasion measures to avoid the enemy's detection . The commander was rather baffled — why would the radar scanner on this ship be better than those of the other ships in the same fleet? — but unable to find an answer, he could only ascribe it to their luck being better in the end . Their radar had just functioned at its maximum capacity right whenever they needed it to .
In this manner, the entire journey was fraught with tension but there was no actual danger . The starship finally left the Nebula district and entered the next planetary sector . Although they had yet to arrive at the central district, this still proved that they had successfully escaped the pursuit of the Swift Dragon fleet . The Swift Dragon fleet did not have the authorisation to enter another planetary sector .
However, it was similarly very dangerous for them . After all, the warship they had appropriated to bring them here was also a ship belonging to the Swift Dragon base . Still, those Federation soldiers in the main control room specially sent here by the mainframe had a special way of contacting the mainframe . The moment they were out of the Nebula Boundary, which was no longer under the mainframe's control, they were able to make contact with the mainframe .
After receiving news, the mainframe arranged for them to enter the central district via a special flight route, green-lighted the whole way through to bring them straight into the district . If not for this approved special flight route, as they continued flying forwards, they would have been mercilessly shot down if they were detected by any patrolling fleet . The Federation soldiers naturally would not do such a stupid thing .
Finally, the starship safely arrived at the central district, landing in one of the planet's cities at the outermost region of the central district . As long as they touched down here, they would be able to log out of the virtual world and report directly to military headquarters about the situation at the Swift Dragon base . Perhaps out of their urgency to report, the soldiers disembarked and left in a hurry without carefully inspecting the insides of the ship .
Ling Lan's group took the chance to slip out from the starship . They were dressed in the standard combat uniform of the Federation, disguised as NPCs . Under Little Four's guidance, they evaded all the surveillance systems of the spaceport, silently left to the military spaceport, and returned to the city .
The moment they entered the city, it was back to a world of mecha . This made Ling Lan feel that they had truly returned to Mecha World . . . Ling Lan's team of nine swiftly changed into their individual mecha and joined the bustling crowd of mecha . Ling Lan and the others pretended to sightsee in the city, and then they drifted naturally over to a transportation array . Selecting the city they wanted, they left the area . They did not leave any trace to show they had ever been to this city, because all of their figures along the way had been wiped off the surveillance systems by Little Four .
They finally arrived at Grandsweep City and Ling Lan retrieved the document from [No Mecha Unrepaired] . Although she had her own copy, things that should be covered up should still be properly covered up . Getting to the city lord's manor of Grandsweep City took a little time, and upon arriving there, they once again sought out the city lord .
