Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1539 - 1220: Exit

"Li Ruiqi asked me to inform you that the Freedom Fortress will be repaired by tomorrow morning and will be operational. By the way, when do we plan to set sail and leave here?"

"Let’s do it this way, if there are no issues, we set sail tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I’ll go tell them. Everyone will be thrilled, we can finally go home."

Jialan left happily.

"Hmm."

Su Mo smiled and replied.

...

The next day, Su Mo returned to the Star Destroyer Grey Fin.

The Star Destroyer Grey Fin and Freedom Fortress set out, with Li Ruiqi personally commanding the Freedom Fortress to follow the Star Destroyer Grey Fin.

On the Freedom Fortress, everyone looked through the observation platform, gazing at the starry sky gradually moving away. The survivors were all teary-eyed.

They were finally on their journey home.

The command room of the Star Destroyer Grey Fin.

Su Mo was talking with Gris, his mood was very good as he asked.

"Gris, returning home shouldn’t be too difficult, right? How long do you think it will take to get out of here?"

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Gris showed a strange expression, then coughed and said, "Uh, Commander Su Mo, you might not know, getting in was relatively easy, going out is the hardest part."

Su Mo’s mood sank directly to the bottom after hearing Gris’s words, he replied with a hint of hope.

"It can’t be that bad, can it?"

"Can’t be what? Do you remember the analogy I made earlier? When we came in, it was like going with the wind."

"I remember, and then?"

"Coming in was with the wind, going out is against the wind, and you remember how violently the Star Destroyer Grey Fin shook when we came in with the wind, right."

"Yes, it was quite intense."

"Then you need to know that was with the wind, the reverse wind is stronger, potentially causing the Star Destroyer to disintegrate, let alone the Freedom Fortress behind."

Gris explained to Su Mo.

"....., Then what do we do? How did you get out before?"

Su Mo was speechless, it was as if returning the same way wasn’t an option anymore.

"The place I left before, I don’t know where it is, and it’s probably impossible to find it now. But I know a pattern, we can use this pattern to get out."

"What pattern?"

"Within the reverse wind area, there’s a small passage with the wind. If we can find it, we can exit smoothly."

"Then isn’t it difficult to find the wind within the reverse wind area?"

"Yes, it’s very hard to find, but we can take it slow, it’s better than having no hope."

Gris said optimistically.

"That’s about all we can do."

Su Mo was also helpless.

The Swallower, the creator, spoke up in Su Mo’s mind at this moment, "It’s okay, Gris is very skilled technically, I believe it won’t take too long for him to find a way out. And knowing the principle, I’ll keep an eye on things then, maybe we’ll find a way out soon."

"Hmm."

Su Mo responded solemnly.

...

Half a month later, the Star Destroyer Grey Fin constantly altered its course as it flew, the entire ship continuously vibrating.

The Freedom Fortress closely followed behind it.

Inside the Star Destroyer Grey Fin.

Gris personally piloted the ship, navigating cautiously, and at this moment, he directed the ship to fire some missiles into the distance.

It could be clearly seen that not long after the missiles were launched, they shattered and exploded.

Seeing this result, Gris changed the course again.

He no longer remembered how many times he had tested, but unfortunately, there was still no success, no wind in the reverse path found.

In the command room, everyone watched Gris operate with a tense expression.

Just then, the entire Star Destroyer Grey Fin shook even more violently, and Su Mo and the others struggled to stand steadily.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Mo steeled himself and asked.

"Nothing, just testing how strong the reverse gravity in this area is, I’ll try another area."

Gris replied somewhat wearily, as the continuous high-intensity operations were somewhat exhausting for him.

Crucially, he didn’t dare to hand over the operations to others, fearing missing the chance to find the correct path.

Sometimes things are just like that, you either get it all at once or miss the chance entirely, and no matter what you do, you can’t find it.

"Hmm, take your time, don’t stress yourself too much."

Su Mo could see that Gris was under a lot of pressure now, after all, everyone was counting on him.

"Okay!"

Gris nodded and continued to carefully control the ship’s bow, occasionally glancing at the mechanical speed index.

Seven days later, the Star Destroyer Grey Fin still hadn’t found the way out.

In the command room, Su Mo paced back and forth, feeling inexplicably anxious.

At this moment, the operator reported.

"Commander Gris, our missile stockpile is down to thirty-two percent, and it’s about to hit the warning line."

"I understand."

Gris’s voice was somewhat hoarse in reply.

Seeing this, everyone remained silent, the command room was extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to speak, lest they disturb Gris.

But the worry on everyone’s faces became more apparent.

Just then, while gazing into the distant starry sky, Gris suddenly became excited.

"Look over there!"

"Hmm? There’s nothing, just some meteors and dust."

Su Mo and the others were taken aback, quickly looked over, but saw nothing. Ahead was a patch of dark starry sky, scattered with broken meteors and dust everywhere.

"Look closely, isn’t there a large empty space in the middle of those dust particles, unnaturally clean, like it’s been vacuumed."

Gris explained excitedly.

"It seems so."

Su Mo’s heart trembled slightly as he watched carefully.

At this point, Gris fired a missile toward that area, and found it successfully flew far ahead.

Seeing the effectiveness of the test, Gris promptly maneuvered the ship towards it, resulting in the ship giving a slight shudder, and then it began to accelerate.

"It’s found!"

Gris shouted joyfully.

"Such good news!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"Brilliant! We’re going home!"

Su Mo’s face lit up with a bright smile!

"Homeward bound!"

The long-suppressed emotions of everyone burst forth at this moment, and they cheered in exhilaration.

....

Three months later.

In the vast starry sky, a Star Destroyer led a dilapidated fortress forward.

Inside the command room, the operator shouted excitedly.

"Reporting, our optical devices have captured Ceres, adjusting the course to head for the Revalclus Base."

"Very good."

Su Mo nodded with a bit of excitement. However, he also felt a touch of regret, as he originally intended to collect the twin alien’s left-over ores upon exiting, but had no clue where he was after emerging.

Even Gris had a hard time finding the correct course, so there’s no sense in thinking about retrieving them now.

Just have to let it go, although it pains him a bit, there’s no other choice.
