Chapter 617 A Race Against Time and a Glimmer of Hope
Clutching the crystal, Lin Yu and his two companions raced for their lives through the crumbling test site. Huge buildings collapsed all around them, the rising dust nearly engulfing them. Every step was accompanied by violent tremors in the ground; a single misstep could send them swallowed by the cracks.
"Quick, the spaceship is just ahead!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice weak amidst the deafening roar of the collapse. Ellie and Xiao Wang followed closely behind, the crystals in their hands emitting a soft glow, like the only hope in the darkness.
However, just as they were about to reach the spaceship, a massive crack rapidly spread out in front of them, spewing forth raging flames and streams of black energy. "What do we do?" Xiao Wang cried out anxiously, his face filled with despair.
Lin Yu looked at the crack in front of him, then at the collapsing test site behind him, and made a snap decision: "Jump! We have no other choice." With that, he took a few steps back, gathering his strength.
"I'll jump first, then pull you over." Lin Yu took a deep breath, charged forward, and leaped with all his might at the edge of the crevice. A powerful wave of heat rushed towards him, and he felt as if his skin was about to be burned, but he gritted his teeth, desperately waving his arms, and finally successfully jumped to the other side.
"Catch!" Lin Yu quickly untied the rope from his body and threw it to Ellie and Xiao Wang. The two grabbed the rope one after the other and, with Lin Yu's help, struggled to jump over the crevice.
They finally arrived at the spaceship and quickly boarded. Lin Yu started the engines, and the spaceship slowly rose. But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a huge piece of metal debris hurtled towards the spaceship. Lin Yu jerked the control stick, and the spaceship dodged to the side, the debris grazing the hull with a screeching sound.
"That was close!" Ellie said, still shaken. Lin Yu remained silent, focusing intently on piloting the spaceship, trying to escape the dangerous planet. However, the planet's gravity seemed to have become exceptionally strong at that moment, and the spaceship's speed decreased more and more, unable to break free from its gravitational pull.
"What's going on? The gravity has suddenly increased, and we don't have enough power!" Xiao Wang shouted anxiously. Lin Yu looked at the warning lights flashing on the dashboard, his brow furrowed: "The core of this planet may be collapsing, causing gravitational disturbances. We must find a way to increase power."
Just then, Ellie suddenly noticed that the crystal in her hand resonated with the spaceship's energy system, and the crystal's light became even more dazzling. "Lin Yu, this crystal seems to be able to provide energy to the spaceship. Maybe we can try connecting to it!" Ellie shouted.
Lin Yu immediately understood her meaning and quickly adjusted the spaceship's energy receiver, connecting the crystal to the spaceship. Instantly, a powerful surge of energy flowed into the spaceship, its engines roared deafeningly, and its speed increased dramatically.
With the help of crystal energy, the spaceship finally broke through the planet's gravity and flew towards the center of the galaxy. Lin Yu and the others watched the planet gradually receding behind them, their hearts filled with emotion.
"We did it! We finally got the crystal!" Xiao Wang shouted excitedly. Lin Yu and Ellie also smiled with relief, but they knew that this was only the first step. To completely resolve the galactic disaster, they still needed to place the crystal in the right location.
After a long flight, they finally arrived at the energy core of the galaxy. This was the source of the entire galaxy's energy, and also the epicenter of the disaster. Lin Yu carefully piloted the spaceship, approaching the energy core.
As the spaceship approached the energy core, they witnessed a shocking scene. The energy core was enveloped in a layer of black energy vortex, constantly releasing destructive energy, and the surrounding planets were gradually losing their vitality under the erosion of this energy.
"This is it. We must place the crystal into the energy core to neutralize this dark energy," Lin Yu said, a hint of tension in his voice. He maneuvered the spaceship, attempting to approach the energy core, but the black energy vortex generated a powerful suction force, drawing the spaceship closer and closer, threatening to swallow it up at any moment.
"Hold on tight, everyone! I'm trying to break free from this suction!" Lin Yu shouted as he steered the spaceship with all his might. However, the suction was too strong; the spaceship's engines roared in agony, on the verge of shutting down. In this critical moment, could they successfully break free from the suction, place the crystal into the energy core, and save the entire galaxy?
