Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 511 Arrival at the Coordinates

At 9:00 AM, the AI ​​AI, Ida, announced: "The Flying Dragon will be performing a jump flight in 3 minutes. Please take your positions and fasten your seatbelts."

Upon hearing the news, the eight members of the Second Division immediately took their positions. Due to limited space in the cockpit, Ms. Lena, Ms. Erica, and others went to the passenger cabin at the back.

Li Chenglong sat in the captain's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and then said, "Everyone must fasten your seatbelts. We will experience a strong acceleration the moment we enter the jump flight phase, so please pay attention to your safety."

As the countdown began, the windows of the Flying Dragon gradually closed, and even the main window at the very front of the cockpit was covered with thick metal.

"Countdown before the jump voyage begins: 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2, 1, begin the jump voyage!" All the women gripped their seatbelts tightly, closed their eyes, and waited for the jump voyage to begin.

Suddenly they felt the Flying Dragon begin to shake, albeit slightly, but very rapidly. A minute later, Ada's voice came through: "This jump voyage has ended. We have arrived at a point 1 kilometers from the coordinates."

Han Xiaoling, who had already opened her eyes, let out a long sigh and said, "I thought it would be very scary, but it wasn't as scary as I thought. It was quite stable overall, except for some shaking at the beginning and the last few seconds."

The metal covers over the windows and main windows of the Flying Dragon had been reopened, allowing everyone to see the outside. They saw only a few glowing spheres; the rest of the space was utterly dark and deep.

Lena and the others came over from the cabin. She said, "We are currently 1 kilometers away from the coordinate point. For safety reasons, we will stay here for a while. During this time, we will launch some pre-prepared detectors to see what is at this coordinate point."

Then she and her three subordinates began their work, while the members of the Second Division assisted her. After unbuckling his seatbelt, Li Chenglong went to the tea bar inside the Flying Dragon, ordered a milk tea from the robot waiter, and sat down to drink it.

It takes about half an hour for those probes to be launched and for the images and data to be transmitted back, which is a good time to rest. Soon after, the four members of the Second Division and Miss Erica also arrived. Helping Teacher Lena and her subordinates doesn't require so many people. After checking the various data of the Flying Dragon and finding no abnormalities, they all came over to have something to drink and rest.

Inside the cockpit, Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, Qin Mengyao, and Sun Menghua, four members of the Second Section, along with teacher Lena and her three assistants, were busy preparing for the launch of the probe. Three minutes later, after some preparation, more than a dozen probes, carried by small rockets, flew towards the coordinate point.

A short while later, the group, having picked up freshly baked drinks and cookies from the tea bar, walked into the cockpit. They urged the busy crew to eat something while they had time, as they would be busy again soon.

The group ate and chatted, and soon it was time to eat. Zhao Liying, who had been watching the monitor screen, said, "There's an image. I'll put it on the main screen right away."

Everyone's eyes turned to the main screen, where a black and white image slowly appeared. Teacher Lena said, "The interference in this area is too great. It's already quite an achievement to have a black and white image. Please bear with it for now."

The image shows a giant abscess at that coordinate point. Based on the data next to the image, this "big lump" is growing on the black curtain, with a diameter of about 5 kilometers, and it is still wriggling regularly.

About twenty minutes later, the large package suddenly burst open. From the breach, an enormous number of level one, two, and three void creatures flew out. These creatures then disappeared through suddenly appearing spatial rifts, their whereabouts unknown.

Another hour passed, and just as Li Chenglong and the others felt that nothing unusual was happening, several more special forces warriors flew out from the tear in the large burrow. However, these warriors didn't linger and also left using the spatial portal. After they left, the torn burrow slowly healed and began to wriggle rhythmically again.

Teacher Lena adjusted the detectors to automatic operation via the computer and then said, "Through this video, we can clearly see what this is. It is a petri dish specifically used to cultivate void creatures. It is likely that the void creatures that attacked Earth were cultivated from here."

Erica immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's destroy it, and that will resolve the crisis in the Earth Sphere."

Teacher Lena shook her head: "It's not that simple. The detector just detected very strong spatial fluctuations. There is probably a strong spatial barrier around this big package. Even our most advanced Flying Dragon would have a hard time breaking through this spatial barrier."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Also, look at the images from these two detectors. Not only here, but also in other places, there are suspected undeveloped culture dishes. Even if we destroy this place, the culture dishes in other places will start to develop and recreate void creatures."

Sun Menghua asked anxiously, "Then what should we do? Is there really no other way?"

Li Chenglong said seriously, "I'm afraid the only way is to break through what provides energy to these cultivation containers, which is this black curtain that envelops the entire huge space. Currently, the area within Mars' orbit is shrouded in a huge spherical black curtain, and we must find a way to solve this problem."

After much deliberation, many people shared their thoughts and opinions, but all of them were rejected.

Li Chenglong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I have a plan, listen to it. This black curtain is very powerful, but it must have weak points. If we gather all our current space warships together, and even take out the star-destroying cannons that the alien alliance used to attack us, and attack a weak point, we might be able to create a gap in this black curtain. Once there is a gap, things will be much easier."

Zhao Liying then said, "But I heard from Miss Marina that the Star Destroyer Cannon was damaged in the previous battle with the Void Creatures and is currently under repair. As for the progress of the repair, I'm not sure."

Lena added, "And even if we combine all our power, due to the environment of this universe, none of us—whether we are advanced ability users, awakened beings, or superpowered individuals—can fully utilize our abilities. In that case, our power alone is insufficient to break through this veil."

Li Chenglong sat down again, stroking his slightly stubbled chin, and after a while said, "Then I will request support from the Interstellar Alliance. At that time, there will be Interstellar Alliance warships on the outside of this black sphere and our allied forces on the inside. With attacks from both sides, I don't believe we can't break this thing."

He continued, “Teacher Lena, there’s no time to lose. I remember your personal spaceship is being kept in your psionic space. I’ll set off now. After I activate dimensional travel and leave, you can return and wait for my good news. I’ll definitely be back in 4 to 5 months.”

Everyone wanted to say something, but seeing his unwavering gaze, they remained silent. Teacher Lena sighed and said, "Alright, I can indeed give you my Sea Emperor, but its performance is only slightly better than the Dawn. So, even with constant switching between space travel and jump navigation, it will still take a month and a half to get from here to the Interstellar Alliance headquarters."

Li Chenglong smiled and said, "It's alright. The strongest enemy right now is the special forces warriors. As long as you deal with them carefully, they won't cause any major problems. But if we don't deal with this cover-up quickly, there will be big trouble. Just wait for my good news."

At 1 p.m. that day, Li Chenglong, dressed in a spacesuit, arrived in outer space and retrieved the Poseidon from his psionic space, which was given to him by Teacher Lena. He used dimensional travel to open a dimensional portal, then instantly teleported into the Poseidon and piloted it inside.

Meanwhile, on the Flying Dragon, Teacher Lena left the probes behind to complete their final exploration tasks before heading back to Earth with the others in the Flying Dragon. Li Chenglong had already gone to request aid from the Interstellar Alliance, and they couldn't remain idle. Their first priority upon returning to Earth was to gather all of Earth's resources and begin assembling an interstellar fleet.
