Chapter 4: The Beginning of the Escape

After breaking free from the entanglement of the energy field, Kyle's spaceship continued to stagger forward in the vast universe. The spaceship's outer shell was riddled with holes, and every damage told the story of the thrilling escape just now. Inside the cabin, although the alarm had stopped, the flashing red lights still warned that the danger was far from over. Kyle leaned wearily against the pilot's seat. His clothes were soaked with sweat, but there was a determination in his eyes. He knew very well that he was far from safe at the moment, and the Interstellar Federation would never let him go easily.

At the same time, on the flagship of the Interstellar Federation Fleet, Rain was looking at the display screen in front of him with a face full of anger. The fleet had suffered heavy losses in the energy field. Several spaceships were severely damaged and had to temporarily stop the pursuit for repairs. Rain punched the console and cursed in a low voice, "That kid, we can't let him get away like this!" There was a look of unwillingness and determination in his eyes. He quickly turned to his adjutant and said, "Immediately count the damage situation, adjust the fleet deployment. Once the repairs are completed, set off immediately. No matter where he escapes, we must find him!"

Kyle paid attention to the various parameters of the spaceship while thinking about his next move. The spaceship's fuel was almost exhausted. If he continued to fly blindly like this, he would sooner or later be in a desperate situation. His eyes fell on the star map as he pondered over safe places to go, but there were few options. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind - to return to Planet Tar. Although it was full of dangers, he was familiar with the environment there. Perhaps he could find supplies and a place to hide temporarily. Moreover, he was deeply curious about the origin of the mysterious crystal and hoped to find some clues on Planet Tar.

Having made up his mind, Kyle decisively adjusted the spaceship's course and flew towards Planet Tar. On the way back, he remained vigilant for the reappearance of the Federal Fleet and constantly tried to mobilize the stardust power in his body. After the previous encounter with the energy field, his control over the stardust power seemed to have improved slightly, but it was still unstable. He knew very well that this power would be the key to his survival in this escape.

When the spaceship approached Planet Tar, Kyle's heart was in his throat. He carefully reduced the altitude and used the mountains and canyons on the planet as cover to avoid possible Federal reconnaissance. Just as he was about to find a hidden place to land, the spaceship's radar suddenly emits a sharp warning sound. Kyle took a closer look and saw several Federal spaceships flying towards him at high speed. Apparently, the Federation had set up strict surveillance on Planet Tar, and his appearance was immediately detected.

"Damn it!" Kyle cursed under his breath. His hands quickly operated on the console as he tried to find a way to escape. However, the spaceship was in poor condition at this time, and its speed and maneuverability were greatly affected. It was almost impossible to get rid of the Federal spaceships.

In this emergency, Kyle took a deep breath and concentrated on mobilizing the stardust power. He closed his eyes, felt the power flowing slowly in his body, and then guided it to his hands. After a while, his hands glowed with a soft light, which gradually spread and formed a transparent shield around the spaceship. The surface of the shield sparkled with the faint light of stardust, like the bright stars in the night sky.

The Federal spaceships quickly surrounded Kyle's spaceship, and Rain's voice came through the communication channel, "Kyle, you have nowhere to run. Surrender obediently and come back to the Federation with us!"

Kyle didn't respond. He gritted his teeth, controlled the spaceship, and rushed towards one of the Federal spaceships. Seeing this, the Federal spaceship immediately opened fire. Rays of energy beams rained down on Kyle's spaceship, but they were all blocked by the shield. When the energy beams hit the shield, beautiful stardust lights splashed, blooming like fireworks.

In the intense exchange of fire, Kyle's spaceship gradually approached the Federal spaceship. He seized the opportunity, suddenly increased the power, and rammed into the opponent. With a loud bang, the two spaceships shook violently. Ignoring the violent shaking of the spaceship, Kyle quickly unbuckled his seat belt and rushed towards the hatch. He wanted to board the Federal spaceship in the chaos, seize control, and create an opportunity for his escape.

The moment he opened the hatch, a strong current of air rushed towards him. Kyle took a deep breath, used the stardust power to stabilize his body, and then jumped towards the hatch of the Federal spaceship. In mid - air, the Federal agents discovered him and immediately opened fire. Bullets whistled towards Kyle, but he blocked them one by one with his shield.

Kyle adjusted his posture in the air, like an agile cheetah, and landed precisely at the hatch of the Federal spaceship. Without time to catch his breath, he engaged in close - combat with the Federal agents waiting there. Relying on the strength and agility given by the stardust power, Kyle skillfully dodged the agents' attacks and counterattacked. Every strike of his carried a powerful stardust energy, making it difficult for the agents to resist.

In the intense battle, Kyle gradually gained the upper hand. He spotted a flaw, punched an agent in the chest, and sent him flying. Then, he quickly rushed towards the cockpit and kicked open the door. In the cockpit, the pilot was about to activate the weapon system to attack Kyle. Kyle was quick - witted and used the stardust power to condense an energy wave, knocking the pilot unconscious.

Kyle quickly sat in the pilot's seat. Looking at the complex control panel in front of him, he felt a little nervous. But there was no time to hesitate at this moment. Relying on his previous experience of flying a spaceship, he quickly started the spaceship. Under his control, the Federal spaceship slowly disengaged from the collision with his own spaceship and flew into the distance.

On the flagship, Rain watched this scene with shock and anger in his eyes. He didn't expect Kyle to be so bold as to successfully board a Federal spaceship and escape under heavy siege. "Chase after him!" Rain roared, "Don't let him get away!" The Federal Fleet immediately adjusted its formation and chased in the direction where Kyle had fled.

Kyle flew the Federal spaceship at low altitude over Planet Tar, using the terrain advantage to avoid the pursuit of the Federal Fleet. He knew that this couldn't last forever. He had to find a safe place to land as soon as possible to refuel and repair the spaceship.

When passing over a desolate gobi desert, Kyle discovered an abandoned base hidden in a valley. His heart leaped with joy, and he controlled the spaceship to fly towards the base. When the spaceship landed in the base, Kyle finally let out a sigh of relief. He looked around and found that although the base was dilapidated, there were still some available resources.

Kyle quickly got off the spaceship and started looking for fuel and parts needed to repair the spaceship in the base. In the base's warehouse, he found some old fuel cans and some parts. Although not many, they should be enough for him to temporarily repair the spaceship and make a short - distance flight.

During the process of repairing the spaceship, Kyle paid close attention to the surrounding movements, for fear that the Federal Fleet would catch up. While working busily, he thought about his next plan. He knew that Planet Tar was no longer safe, and he had to leave as soon as possible and go to a place where the Federal forces could hardly reach.

After several hours of hard work, Kyle finally completed the repair of the spaceship and refueled it. He boarded the spaceship again and started the engine. The spaceship slowly rose and left this temporary shelter. Looking at Planet Tar gradually disappearing from the window, Kyle felt mixed emotions. He knew that his escape journey had just begun, and there were countless challenges and dangers waiting for him in the future. But at this moment, there was only one belief in his heart, that is, to survive, uncover the secrets behind the stardust power, and escape the pursuit of the Federation.

The spaceship flew further and further in the vast universe. Kyle held the control stick tightly and looked ahead with a firm gaze. He didn't know where his next stop would be, but he was ready to face everything unknown. Behind him, the Interstellar Federation Fleet was still in hot pursuit. A cross - star chase and escape was intensifying...
