The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"Damn it, they're in cahoots!"

"Catch them!"

The group of aliens, whose sight had been restored, roared and berated the two men upon seeing this scene.

Well, being implicated for no reason, Lu Qianwei was speechless.

But he showed no mercy to the several aliens who rushed at him, punching them one by one and sending them flying far away.

One of the thugs' smaller forms jumped out of his chest cavity and bit him, but he was caught with one hand and flung into the air.

However, just as they finished dealing with the situation, a dozen or so people poured into the bar.

The burly leader's small head roared from its chest cavity, pointing at Lu Qianwei and shouting, "Damn humans, how dare they steal our prince's things! Tear them to pieces!"

"Hehe~" Lu Qianwei chuckled, just about to stretch his muscles, when the girl dragged him towards the bar's kitchen.

"I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this." Layla grabbed his hand and ran very fast ahead.

Her blonde hair fluttered, carrying a faint fruity scent, and she turned back to smile at Lu Qianwei: "Don't worry, I'll give you half of the treasure after we get out of here, I promise you won't be shortchanged!"

In the short time the girl was speaking, she had already led Lu Qianwei to a slide passage that had been pried open.

No?

If I remember correctly, the bar is on the ground floor, right?

Why is there a downward passage?!

Chapter 206 City of a Thousand Stars 2

Before Lu Qianwei could have any doubts, Leila had already grabbed his wrist and leaped into the passage.

The two plummeted rapidly down the metal slide.

The wind whistled past his ears as Lu Qianwei frowned, watching the dazzling lights flashing across the tunnel walls.

What the hell is this?

The even more bizarre thing was yet to come. Just half a minute later, the originally dimly lit kitchen passageway suddenly twisted and deformed, with layers of space overlapping each other, and the surrounding scenery was completely overturned in an instant.

When Lu Qianwei's feet landed firmly on the solid alloy floor, he froze on the spot.

This is no longer the bustling commercial street I saw before.

Looking around, the entire area is divided by a series of floating platforms and suspended corridors, with endless buildings and forest clusters extending in all directions.

Giant ring-shaped modules are nested in layers, and various alien buildings grow freely on the space station's skeleton. Semi-transparent energy barriers divide the space into independent areas, with the living areas of different races clearly defined yet intertwined.

"Where did they put me here again?" Lu Qianwei blinked, thankfully the location of the time portal on the terminal locator was still displayed.

But the distance was over 8,000 kilometers!

Good guy!

Wow, the technology in this world seems pretty advanced.

However, considering the existence of so many alien races, the fusion of their technologies could indeed lead to a major breakthrough.

Don't just stand there!

"Those robbers are coming soon, let's get out of here!" Leila's urgent shout pulled Lu Qianwei back to reality.

Just as she finished speaking, heavy stomping sounds and fierce roars came from behind her.

In addition to the aliens from the bar who followed closely behind, there were also several fully equipped alien soldiers.

The equipment and weapons look very high-end.

"Those two humans can't have gone far!"

Block all side roads!

"Damn it, we have to get that stuff back and kill those two humans!"

"Don't let them escape into the core trade zone; it'll be even harder to catch them then!"

Fully armed soldiers swarmed out from the emerging light-filled passageways.

Their thick limbs made the alloy ground vibrate and tremble. Some of the more agile soldiers climbed the outer walls of the building and outflanked the two from above, relentlessly pursuing their trail.

"Come with me in a bit!" Laila didn't dare to delay, grabbed Lu Qianwei, and turned to run.

"What exactly did you take from them?"

Others have even deployed their armies. Lu Qianwei followed closely behind the girl, not trying to excuse himself.

It's rare to see a human, so I have to figure out what this place is from her.

Faced with Lu Qianwei's question, Leila showed surprise instead, "Don't you know? Federal News reported on it a few days ago."

"Uh... I just got here." How could Lu Qianwei know anything? Even if he watched the news, he couldn't understand the words and language.

Upon hearing this, Leila was about to explain when she saw that someone behind them had already discovered their whereabouts. She could only cover her bag and run away in silence.

I had great energy for two days and quickly weaved through the crowds, playing parkour on the suspended walkways of varying widths.

But aliens also deeply understand the principle of minding their own business.

Facing the menacing pursuers behind them, and with strangely shaped alien figures constantly passing by, the two hurriedly dodged and avoided them.

It truly attracted all the excitement and commotion, making it even more eye-catching.

Fortunately, because of the large crowds in the shopping mall, the pursuing aliens did not dare to draw their guns and fire, otherwise civilization might be sanctioned by the Federation.

Fearing the consequences, Lu Qianwei and his companion used their size advantage to weave through narrow metal gaps and step onto suspended bridges spanning the void. Below them lay bottomless spatial rifts, with layers of neon-lit spaces stretching endlessly beneath their feet.

Lyra was extremely familiar with this intricate terrain, and deliberately chose to escape through narrow paths that were difficult for the alien pursuers to surround. After several twists and turns, she finally arrived at a hidden floating dock.

A sleek, lightweight hovercar with sharp angles was parked quietly. Its body was painted with mottled dark patterns and equipped with simple onboard firearms. It was clearly the escape vehicle that the girl had prepared in advance.

"Get in the car quickly!" Leila yanked open the car door and jumped into the driver's seat first.

Lu Qianwei immediately slipped into the back seat, and as soon as he was settled, the car slowly lifted off the ground, smoothly leaving the parking platform and speeding towards the dense gaps between buildings.

Enraged by this, the pursuers behind them also followed closely in hand-cranked vehicles with roaring engines.

The pulse weapon mounted on the roof flashed with a cold light, and beams of energy shot through the air, slamming into the alloy walls around the flying vehicle and exploding into sparks.

Seeing this, Leila smiled and said, "Hold on tight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed on the gas pedal, skillfully maneuvering the steering wheel to dodge and weave through gaps between buildings and suspended pipes at high speed, using the city's chaotic and complex terrain to repeatedly shake off large numbers of pursuing enemies.

"Huff huff! These two humans are too cunning!" An alien pilot who narrowly escaped the accidental impact was sweating profusely, having almost followed in his brother's footsteps.

"Hmph," the alien captain in the passenger seat sneered, a cold glint in his eyes, before decisively ordering, "Open fire! Shoot them down!"

"But here..."

"There are no 'buts'!"

"The weapons on the vehicle can't destroy these buildings!"

"Remember this: if we don't get our things back, we'll all die!"

Upon hearing this, what else could the crowd say? They immediately became fierce and launched a relentless attack.

Several armed vehicles sped and crashed, rapidly closing in and surrounding Leila and her companion, seemingly about to completely cut off their escape route.

Lu Qianwei, sitting in the back, thought for a moment, then pulled out a pulse machine gun from his system space and leaned out of the car window.

With his eyes fixed on the pursuing vehicle, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger, unleashing a barrage of scorching energy bullets.

With a few crisp thuds, the missiles accurately hit the side thrusters of the pursuing flying car at the forefront.

The car instantly lost its balance, veered sharply off course, and crashed into the exterior wall of a building with a deafening roar, completely losing its ability to pursue.

The remaining pursuers became increasingly agitated upon seeing this, and their laser firepower intensified.

Lu Qianwei calmly adjusted his firing angle and continued to counterattack using the rapidly moving vehicle. Gunfire erupted one after another, destroying two flying cars that were trying to flank him, forcing the remaining pursuers to stop rashly approaching.

Taking advantage of the enemy's disarray, Lyra yanked the joystick, and the flying car accelerated abruptly, rushing straight into a dimensional fork filled with energy mist.

The hazy fog obscured the view behind them, and the staggered building barriers completely blocked the pursuers' tracking route.

After speeding for a while, the ear-piercing engine roar and angry shouts behind us were gradually left far behind.

The car entered another vortex of light, arriving at a gray-yellow industrial area made of steel.

The air around us was filled with the pungent smell of burning metal mixed with machine lubricating oil.

Looking around, the entire area is filled with a dense array of giant steel structures. Towering smelting furnaces pierce the upper space, and thick mechanical pipes crisscross like coiled dragons. The roaring sounds of machinery rise and fall, making the air tremble slightly.

Rows of massive factory buildings stand side by side, the clanging of machinery echoing as it rises and falls.

Leila breathed a sigh of relief, no longer feeling the pressure of the pursuit.

The car descended onto a road, and Leila slowed down, turning her head to look at Lu Qianwei with a surprised and relaxed smile on her face: "Hahaha, thanks to your help just now, otherwise it would have taken a while to shake off those guys."

I didn't know you were such a good shot.

"My name is Leila Yerudes, what's yours?"

"Lu Qianwei." Lu Qianwei put away his gun and looked at the industrial area filled with thick smoke, full of doubt.

“Speaking of which,” Lu Qianwei turned his gaze to the girl beside him, “what exactly did you steal?”

And what exactly is this place?

Leila looked down at the velvet bundle she was tightly clutching in her arms, a glint of cunning and caution flashing in her eyes.

However, she still answered seriously to the unexpected person who came to her aid: "This used to be the heavy industrial area of ​​the City of a Thousand Stars."

Warships, defensive weapons, and mechanical parts and energy devices for various races were all previously produced here.

"However, after the arrival of the machine civilization hundreds of years ago, this place has become an abandoned and lawless gray area."

Lu Qianwei gazed at this bustling steel forest, his brows furrowing slightly. Thousand Star City... Where had he heard that name before?

Unable to understand for a moment, Lu Qianwei turned to ask, "Where is the City of a Thousand Stars?"

Leila glanced at the contents of the velvet bundle, then turned to look at him with surprise, her eyes wide with astonishment: "You don't even know the City of a Thousand Stars? How did you get here?!"

Lu Qianwei shook his head, thought of a reason, and said, "I was accidentally sucked into the light circle during an experiment and came here."

"Wow! Our experiments are that amazing?!" Lyra exclaimed, getting even more excited.
