Huang Que turned his head again, looking at Lin Xian and Chu Anqing:
“Lin Xian, stay behind Gao Yang to assist him; An Qing, you should stand in the passenger cabin, acting as the hub connecting the equipment cabin and the cockpit.
Whether there’s an issue here or there, you need to stay in touch with us and run errands.”
Lin Xian and Chu Anqing also nodded.
Some time had elapsed since the incident that had cut off all network communication devices.
The Skyspace Aircraft was operating smoothly under Wei Cheng’s superior flying skills, which eased everyone’s anxious hearts.
It seemed, just as Huang Que had said, for professional pilots and astronauts, this was just one of the many emergency situations that could arise, and there was no need for panic.
Lin Xian walked over to Gao Yang’s console, looking at the complex joystick and propped himself against the back of the seat.
What he was worried about now was not that Wei Cheng’s skills were inadequate.
It was…
Kevin Walker.
With VV no longer suppressing him, Kevin had become lawless in this era, easily hijacking that X-37B Mi Country unmanned Skyspace Aircraft in the high-altitude orbit.
Would he come to interfere?

He definitely would, wouldn’t he?
Huang Que knew this yet still permitted VV’s demise, using VV’s death as assurance for “refusal to return.”
So, where did her confidence come from?

Could there be a trump card hidden?
“Wait!
What is that!”
In the cockpit, suddenly came Liu Feng’s shriek.
He had always been sitting beside Wei Cheng, and to avoid disturbing Wei Cheng’s focus on piloting, he had never uttered a word except to report the position and distance of the space-time particles at fixed intervals.
This outcry was a clear sign that something had happened!
“What’s wrong?”
Huang Que walked over.
“Quick, look up at the sky!
No…
in the universe space!
There are countless sparkling things flying toward us from above!”
Upon hearing this,
everyone crowded at the portholes or switched to the aircraft’s external cameras, projecting the footage inside.
“Damn it!” Gao Yang turned pale!
“My god…
what is this?!” Chu Anqing was also shocked to the point of losing color, “Is this…
is this a meteor shower!?”
“No.”
Lin Xian stared at the monitor in front of him…
Space.
In the space above them.
Front and back, left and right!
An innumerable count of lights rushing towards them with speed!
There were too many…
As far as the eye could see, they were like stars!
Hundreds!
Thousands!
These were no ordinary lights; they were large…
their fronts reflected the sun’s light while their tails emitted a strange blue light.
Recognizing that familiar blue light, Lin Xian instantly understood:
“Argon Hall Thrusters!
It’s blue because it’s an ion stream of argon; in the universe, there is only one thing that would need this many Argon Hall Thrusters—”
“[Starlink Satellites!]”
He furrowed his brow.
One problem followed another; he was just thinking about how to guard against Kevin Walker’s hijacked spacecraft, but now Jask’s Starlink satellites were plummeting straight down!
No wonder that reflective light looked so familiar.
VV had once hijacked a few thousand Starlink satellites during a world hacker contest, drawing a pentastar in the sky for Chu Anqing.
And now!
Thousands upon thousands of Starlink satellites, trailing eerie blue lights, were crashing down from the sky!
Slamming towards their Skyspace Aircraft!
This was more terrifying than dark clouds pressing down…
A cascade of falling stars!
“Damn it, what’s going on!”
Gao Yang, upon hearing Lin Xian say it was the Starlink satellites falling, jumped up:
“You mean to say the world’s richest man’s tens of thousands of Starlink satellites are crashing down?
How the hell do we dodge this!
There are too many!
It’s like a saturating bombardment!”
“Quick, quick, move it, let me see!”
Gao Yang used his body to push Lin Xian aside and squeezed in front of the monitor.
On the monitor, the view from the camera atop the Skyspace Aircraft was on display—
“Oh my god…”
Gao Yang was so stunned by the shocking scene that he was speechless.
A sky full of blue light!
Starlink satellites bursting with blue flames were ferociously plummeting from high above!
The falling satellites, at least a few thousand, completely covered the entire space above the Skyspace Aircraft!
It was like a giant blue hand blotted out by the sun, the impending Five Fingers Mountain!
Leaving the tiny Skyspace Aircraft with nowhere to hide!
Nowhere to escape!
The tens of thousands of rapidly falling Starlink satellites were now very close, just a few dozen kilometers away!
But in front of the swiftly plunging satellites, that distance meant nothing, especially since the satellites were still accelerating fiercely, sparing no expense on fuel!
“Dodge it, quick!!”
Gao Yang screamed out:
“Hurry, dodge it Wei Cheng, big brother!
If they hit us, we’re done for!
There are so many Starlink satellites, it’s like a net!
If even one hits us, we’re toast!”
“The range is too wide!”
Wei Cheng, looking through the front windshield above, also turned pale:
“The range is far too broad!
There’s no dodging it!
All our radars and scanners are damaged!
We can’t escape such a dense collision!
And the speed of these satellites’ fall is just too fast!
They’re accelerating like shooting stars!”
“No…
even faster than meteors!
They’re being propelled from behind!
It won’t be long before they hit our altitude of 200 kilometers!”
“What…
what can we do?
Senior Lin Xian!” Chu Anqing took a step back, clutching Lin Xian’s arm.
She had just looked up through the porthole and was directly terrified!
