Chapter 1261.
The long passageway was dim and narrow.
Due to the double interference of strong electromagnetism and high-frequency particles, the lighting system of the merchant ship also had serious problems, the lights were bright and dim at times, the wiring hidden in the pipeline was making noise, and even electric sparks suddenly burst out.
The intricate internal passageways also hid unpredictable dangers.
However, under Wang Chen’s psychic probing, everything in the surrounding space was clearly presented in his perception, especially the presence of life.
Therefore, when a Star Pirate with a weapon suddenly appeared at the corner in front of him, Wang Chuan was not only not surprised, but also pulled the trigger in advance towards the other party.
Snort!
The assault rifle he was holding steeply shot out a particle beam, instantly hitting the enemy dozens of meters away.
The Star Pirate who tried to sneak attack Wang Chuan didn’t even have time to let out a scream, his head was already pierced through by the particle beam that contained powerful energy, and he fell to the ground on the spot!
The Raider V high-energy particle gun carried by Wang Chuan had a caliber of 12.7mm, with an effective range of up to 3,000 meters, and was able to penetrate 30mm of alloy armor at close range.
The protective helmet worn on the head of the Star Pirate who had just been killed could not withstand its attack at all.
Wang Dust continued to push forward.
His destination was the control room of the merchant ship, and he should have cooperated with the special forces team, but the Star Bandit was actually equipped with a powerful jammer, causing the communication to be completely interrupted.
In such a situation, Wang Dust could only act on his own.
The Star Pirates occupying the Chang Tai were not a rabble, and with their own battleships already destroyed and captured, the merchant ship and its crew became their only bargaining chip to get away.
The Star Pirates had also anticipated the possible reaction from the Imperial Army side, and had therefore placed manpower as well as heavy firepower at the nodes of the main internal passageways of the merchant vessel!
It should be said that there was no problem at all with their tactical strategy, in a strongly disturbed environment, the rescuers could very easily fall into the traps that these Star Pirates had pre-set and become the target of an ambush and sneak attack.
If the rescue force suffered heavy losses, the Star Pirates occupying the merchant ships would be emboldened even more.
Unless the Imperial Army sank the merchant ship with complete disregard for the consequences, it was bound to be caught in a dilemma!
However, the star pirates’ plans were no longer good and well-prepared, and under Wang Dust’s psychic scanning, the ambushers were exposed one by one, but they were still blissfully unaware of the doom that was coming their way.
Wang Dust directly A past, no matter how many people on the other side, all fell under the hot muzzle of the raider V.
Some of the star pirates hadn’t even realized what was going on, and they were killed through the bulkheads.
Although the bulkheads inside the merchant ship were also made of alloy, they belonged to the lightweight design, and the defense level was at least five marks different from the military armor, so the particle beam of the Raider V pierced through a hole.
Even the armed pirates hiding behind it were also shot through!
At the corner of a corridor, Wang Dust, who had just easily killed two armed Star Pirates, leaned down and picked up a big, black and thick weapon.
It was a hand-assembled electromagnetic cannon, 35mm in caliber, equipped with dual energy magazines and a magazine that held five titanium-tungsten alloy shells, as well as a laser aiming indicator.
Although the craftsmanship of this handheld electromagnetic cannon was a bit unimpressive compared to the Empire’s military products, with a rough texture all over, its lethality was definitely not to be underestimated.
Although the handheld electromagnetic cannon’s rate of fire is not as high as the high-energy particle gun, but in a close combat environment, its power definitely exceeds the latter, especially the threat of external battle armor is very great.
Wang Dust’s mounted H79 soldier armor was able to withstand the frontal strike of the Raider V’s high-energy particle gun, but if it ate a 35mm caliber titanium-tungsten alloy cannonball, it would be seriously injured without dying.
Because the impact of the electromagnetic cannon is extremely strong, even if it can’t penetrate the front armor of the H79, it can still shock the people inside to death!
The fact that the Star Pirates who hijacked the merchant ship were carrying such a weapon meant that they had already made preparations for an anti-Special Warfare rescue.
Considering that the hijacking of the merchant ship actually occurred in the star field airspace only half a million kilometers away from the TK043 space fortress, Wang Chen realized that there must be another mystery.
But this was not something he should be concerned about right now.
After consecutively killing more than a dozen star pirates, Wang Chuan smoothly arrived outside the control cabin of the merchant ship.
The door of the control cabin was tightly closed, and the warning light on it was constantly flashing red, indicating that the access control system had entered a locked state, and unless the person inside took the initiative to lift it, it was impossible to open it normally from the outside.
Wang Chen immediately picked up the electromagnetic cannon he had just captured and pulled the trigger on the metal door in front of him.
Thud!
Accompanied by a dull roar, a titanium-tungsten alloy cannonball instantly struck the center of the hatch.
The location where the hatch was hit was instantly dented, and because of the dazzling flames generated by the violent impact, countless broken shrapnel splattered and flew in all directions, and many of them even hit Wang Dust.
But they were all bounced off by the armor of the soldier’s battle armor.
And the first shell failed to penetrate the hatch of the merchant ship’s control room.
Wang Dust pulled the trigger again.
The second and third rounds were fired ……
Each round had the exact same point of impact!
When the fourth titanium-tungsten alloy shell hit, the center of the hatch was suddenly torn open with a large twisted gash, and the access control system was completely destroyed, with electrical sparks rising from the nuisance.
Wang Chen dropped the electromagnetic cannon in his hand, and at the same time, he turned on the auxiliary power of the Wushu Battle Armor to its maximum power, and then, like a discharged cannonball, even with his armor, he crashed heavily into the half-crippled hatch in front of him.
Boom!
The metal hatch was finally unable to withstand the ravages and collapsed.
Wang Dust rushed into the control cabin of the merchant ship.
At the moment he rushed in, he pulled out the greatsword equipped with the Martial Armor and swept it out to the left side, striking a Star Pirate right in the neck.
This Star Pirate was hiding on the left side of the hatch, and as a result, he was caught off guard, and his entire head was chopped off along with his battle helmet!
The blood spurting out from the broken neck sprayed onto the ceiling.
With the Raider V in his right hand and the greatsword in his left, Wang Dust stepped on the remnants of the hatch, and his cold and stern gaze swept through the lenses of the goggles, scanning each and every person inside.
Only in front of the console, there were twenty to thirty uniformed crew members kneeling.
And behind all of them stood Star Pirates holding weapons, each with a fierce look in their eyes, setting up a strict stance.
There was also a tall, burly, ugly-looking one-eyed Star Pirate who raised his right hand to hold a glowing red controller and roared, “Don’t move, or I’ll blow up and sink this ship, and everyone will die!”
He obviously wanted to use this to threaten Wang Chen, so that the latter would not dare to act rashly.
Perhaps stimulated by the tragic deaths of his companions, the guy who was obviously the leader of the Star Pirates showed a maniacal color, pointing at Wang Dust and continuing to shout, “You kneel down for me, immediately, right now!”
Wang Dust laughed.
