I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

1706  The Deadly Zone

A screen showing the world outside appeared, and this time there were many marks to help him in flying, like red circles and green arrows.

He followed the green arrows and evaded the red circles out of instinct. The attacks the ship suffered seemed to affect its ability to fly fast and change the trajectory for a period of time, but that wasn't a big issue.

The ship seemed to have a self-repair function, of course by using more energy from him. Hye had to refill the entire ship with bones five times until the ship got totally repaired. And when that happened, he spotted a secluded place, one without any spaceship or battles going on at it. Yet there was a catch for that place, as it seemed too close to the two stars shining over this world!

He knew by going there, the ship might get damaged by the intense heat and harmful radiation from both stars. But he had no other choice.

Any other place was filled with endless hostile and battling spaceships. Hye knew that place was dangerous just from the fact that even the big flagships didn't dare to go there.

And when he changed the direction of the spaceship, the glaring red circle around the space between the two stars was enough evidence of how deadly being there was.

"You are heading towards a dead zone! Are you insane?!!" The moment the nymph lady noticed where the ship was heading, she couldn't control herself from screaming out in shock.

"I know what I'm doing…"

"No, you don't! This is the dead zone between any two stars, infamous and widely known in the entire universe…"

"What possibly could go wrong," Hye shrugged, not caring about what she was warning him against.

"Everything! Everything can go wrong! I won't speak about the deadly radiation, but the released rocket, like burning rocks from both stars, is enough to fry and destroy anything standing in between! Don't go there, it's a dead end!"

"There is no other place that's void of enemies," Hye wasn't acting suicidal, but he had to deploy his fleet even if with all these odds.

"You are going to lose everything and even your life! You are crazy! Let me out, let me out right now!"

"Be my guest," Hye already decided to go there, and was pushing the spaceship to fly at its fastest speed. The nymph lady was trying to stop him but failed. She even tried to stand and forcibly stop him but got restrained by his warriors.

"Let me go! Unbuckle me right away!" she screamed when she saw them approaching that deadly spot, "please, please think about it… Why do you think no one dares to go there? In the middle of all this war, there isn't a place without ships fighting against each other. It's dangerous, deadly, got it?"

"I know, but I have no other place to go," Hye motioned his head towards the front, "and we already arrived here…"

"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! We are going to die!!!"

The moment Hye said his words, the spaceships stopped just on the outer border of that deadly region. He thought by being there, things wouldn't be that severe. And yet he was gravely mistaken.

The moment the ship arrived there, he felt a scary suction force that attracted and pulled the ship deeper. The worst part was that the suction force was dragging it in two different directions, each wanting to pull it to the heart of one star.

And then a fiery meteorite shower ran down over the ship, coming from three different directions, at a speed that couldn't be matched.

"Screw it! I'll advance then with full speed…"

"Crazy! Crazy! You are totally a lunatic!!!"

The nymph lady kept screaming like she was already going to die. She got all the reasons to believe so, but what Hye did next made her all speechless.

Hye didn't do what others would in such a situation, didn't try to resist the pulling forces, and aimed to fly out. Instead, he pushed the ship forward, going deeper into the midzone between the two stars, as if he was throwing his life away.

And yet that ominous end didn't happen. The moment he moved, he pushed the ship towards one star, overcoming the pulling force of the other star. As he did so, the ship flew faster than usual, and the incoming meteorite shower missed them by a large margin.

Yet that didn't end their struggle, it was just the beginning of it. The moment they went deeper, more meteorites appeared. Not to mention they felt the entire ship vibrate and get a little hotter, as radiation waves kept slamming fiercely against the ship.

"Hang tight, we are going to make violent turns," Hye knew there was no return from this. As he decided this, he started to push the ship faster, this time pushing it towards the opposite star, making the first star's pulling force weaker.

He kept doing this, making sure the ship wouldn't drift towards a single star than the other. At the same time, he used the pulling forces of the two stars to evade the incoming meteorite showers, evading most of them.

Yet the ship got hit by many burning rocks. If not for his crazy use of bones, gushing tons of energy into the defensive shield of the ship, they'd have died a long time ago.

Luckily the ship had a self-repair system, one that helped in restoring the perfect state of the ship quite fast after each hit.

"We won't get out of this," from the side, the nymph lady returned to weep and scream, speaking like this for long minutes. The hectic run and evasion kept going on for three more hours, and at the end, Hye felt something weird happening.

It felt like he burst through a barrier, as if he penetrated a bubble or something. All of sudden, all the pulling forces that fought mercilessly against his ship vanished, vanished like they never existed in the first place.
