False Court
Chapter 777 The Chase
Sun Duoxiang quickly defended himself.
“Are you an idiot? Blue Whale-class ships are mass-produced transport vessels. Who said there's only one?”
Su Mo replied calmly.
When Sun Duoxiang and the others heard Su Mo's words, they immediately realized and their eyes lit up.
“Boss, do you mean this is another Blue Whale-class ship?”
“That's right.”
“Then we’ve struck gold! Let’s just take it down. This transport ship must be full of supplies.”
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.
Zhang Hao and the others looked like wolves that hadn't eaten for over ten days, their eyes glowing green. How could they let such a fat sheep deliver itself to their mouths?
If it were before, they certainly wouldn't have dared to hijack it, but now it was different. With the Dark Shadow in hand, who were they afraid of!
“Are you out of your mind? You dare to attack without figuring out who they are? What if they’re from the Gaja Republic?”
Su Mo asked calmly.
The smile on Sun Duoxiang's face froze slightly.
“Oh, right.”
Then he continued, "Boss, I remember it was said that only the Gaja Republic bought one in the entire alliance. Now the Gaja Republic is dirt poor and definitely can't afford a second one, so it's very likely the Empire's."
“Okay, let's say you’re right, but what if other allied nations or the Federation bought it in secret? Can you guarantee that? If you attack the wrong target, can your little body take responsibility?”
“Uh, what should we do then?”
“Send them a communication and confirm their identity.”
Su Mo said, narrowing his eyes.
“Okay!”
Sun Duoxiang quickly got to work. He immediately entered the command and sent a communication request to the other ship.
…
Time passed bit by bit, and Zhang Hao and the others held their breaths, waiting for a reply.
But the communication sent out was like a stone thrown into the sea, with no response.
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly, "Boss, they didn't reply. They must be hiding something. Let's attack!"
“Don’t rush, be careful not to hit the wrong target. If you hit our own people, selling you wouldn’t be enough to pay for it.”
“But they’re not replying! Doesn't that mean they're hiding something?”
“Not necessarily. Have you forgotten where we are? We're in subspace. The interference here is already strong, plus we’re traveling at faster-than-light speed, so it's possible that we can't receive it.”
Su Mo said thoughtfully.
“Then what should we do? How do we judge whether they really didn’t receive it or are pretending to be dead?”
Sun Duoxiang asked anxiously.
Su Mo stared at the distant Blue Whale-class ship, his expression stern, and gave orders to Sun Duoxiang and the others.
“Sun Duoxiang, you control the ship and chase after them, getting closer to them little by little. Let’s observe if there are any special markings on their ship. Also, keep sending them communication requests to see if we can connect.”
“Okay!”
Sun Duoxiang immediately responded.
Then Su Mo turned to Ma Ke and the others and said, "Go and notify everyone to enter a state of readiness."
“Understood, boss.”
Ma Ke said excitedly.
Su Mo's expression was tense. No matter what, he had to figure out the other party's identity. If they were their own people, that would be fine, but if they were from the Empire, Su Mo would never let them transport supplies to the front lines.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang kept entering commands, controlling the Dark Shadow to chase after the Blue Whale-class ship.
With the Dark Shadow's speed, it quickly caught up to its rear.
Then the Dark Shadow approached the other ship little by little.
At the same time, it kept capturing images of the other ship.
Su Mo frowned as he looked at the images presented. It was a little more troublesome than he had imagined. This Blue Whale-class ship was brand new and should have been purchased not long ago.
Moreover, there were no markings on the surface of the ship, which made it difficult to judge.
This ship really could have been bought by any country.
Sun Duoxiang kept sending communication requests to the other ship at this time, but there was no response.
“Boss, it’s no good, there’s still no response.”
“Get closer.”
Su Mo replied in a low voice.
“Alright!”
Sun Duoxiang responded patiently.
At this time, inside the command room of the Blue Whale-class ship, figures in black were staring at the huge operating screen.
At this time, the image of the Dark Shadow was also displayed very clearly.
The people present also frowned.
…
In subspace, the Dark Shadow approached the Blue Whale-class ship like a shadow of death.
Sun Duoxiang was also getting more and more speechless. Was this guy really pretending to be dead, or could he really not receive it?
He really wanted to hit them!
Su Mo also felt a little棘手at this time. Although it seemed like the other party was pretending to be dead, he didn't dare to act rashly.
If he really made a mistake, it would be troublesome.
Just then, the Blue Whale-class ship suddenly exited faster-than-light flight mode, and the entire ship gradually disappeared.
Sun Duoxiang was stunned for a moment before shouting.
“Boss, they’ve exited faster-than-light flight.”
“We exit immediately too!”
Su Mo immediately issued the order.
After hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately operated, and the speed of the entire Dark Shadow instantly decreased, and the faster-than-light flight device slowly stopped running.
The surrounding space twisted and changed.
Soon the Dark Shadow returned from subspace to the vast starry sky.
Sun Duoxiang kept entering commands at this time, and he anxiously said to Su Mo, "Boss, it's not good, our radar can't scan the other party anymore. We must have exited too slowly and created too much distance from the other party."
Don't underestimate just a few seconds, that's a difference of light-years.
“It’s over, the fish that was about to reach our mouths is gone.”
Zhang Hao also felt extremely惋惜.
Su Mo was communicating with the False Creator Devourer in his mind.
“Can you locate the other party’s position?”
“I can!”
False Creator Devourer replied without hesitation.
“That’s great, lock onto them.”
Su Mo was also a little surprised and delighted. He had almost given up hope.
Soon, False Creator Devourer successfully locked onto the Blue Whale-class ship, and it presented the specific coordinates in Su Mo's eyes.
Su Mo walked directly to Sun Duoxiang and said.
“Get out of the way!”
Sun Duoxiang retreated to the side decisively.
According to the False Creator Devourer's instructions, Su Mo controlled the Dark Shadow to change its flight path and fly at high speed in a direction in the starry sky.
“Boss, are you sure we can catch up by going in this direction?”
Sun Duoxiang asked疑惑. He was very curious about how the boss judged this when the radar didn't scan the other party. Could it be that he was guessing?
“Are you doubting me? Do you want to try?”
Su Mo modified the course from time to time while complaining to Sun Duoxiang.
Through the False Creator Devourer's lock, he could clearly see the Blue Whale-class ship constantly changing its direction of flight. Like a fleeing lamb, it seemed frightened.
“Hehe, you should do it, boss.”
Sun Duoxiang responded awkwardly.
A moment later, Zhang Hao suddenly said with great喜悦, “Brother Sun, boss! The radar has scanned the other party.”
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly, "Boss, you're really amazing. This time we've caught up. Boss, can we start fighting?"
