The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: No Escape

Shen Changqing’s statement silenced everyone momentarily.

The frontline—

During this period, there has been a fierce confrontation with the Star Beast. It was very possible that an 8-level Sea Iron Bull had come to this area.

Ji You thought of something and immediately asked, ”Little Zhouzhou, can you check the nearby flight routes and see what are the nearest planets suitable for Sea Iron Bulls?”

Xuzhou immediately started to search.

The results came out quickly. Xuzhou looked at them, pursed his lips, and said, ”There’s only one, Heihe Star, five light-years from Bella Star.”

That is to say—

This 8-level Sea Iron Bull very likely ran over from Heihe Star.

Xuzhou continued, ”Heihe Star is from our current location... wait!”

He suddenly exclaimed!

Xuzhou, who is generally quite straightforward and stable, seldom reacts so dramatically. His sudden exclamation startled the others, and Ji You asked, ”Son, what’s wrong?”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Unable to care about Ji You’s behavior of always taking advantage of him, Xuzhou, frowning deeply, said, ”Our flight path has deviated!”

Everyone: ”Huh?”

Ji You was shocked: ”How is that possible?”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Impossible! The direction I adjusted just now was clearly—” Her voice suddenly cut off because the flight path had indeed deviated by about—

And, their current position was less than five light-years from the nearest checkpoint to the frontline. According to the spaceship’s speed, they were estimated to arrive at the Military Department’s alert checkpoint in about an hour and a half.

Chu Jiaojiao frowned, took a moment to reflect calmly, and said, ”I guess, maybe I panicked a bit when the Sea Iron Bull was chasing us and I accidentally issued the wrong navigation command.”

During their conversation, Chu Jiaojiao, Ji You, and Xuzhou had already reviewed the navigation records, and indeed, Chu Jiaojiao had made a mistake in the heat of the moment and pressed the wrong command, causing the flight path to deviate.

Most of the flight paths in the eight star systems under the jurisdiction of human society are developed by humans and have been proven safe. A deviation, error, or change in the flight path can easily lead to many uncertain dangers, which is not a good thing...

In severe cases, they could get lost in the starry skies.

Ji You’s frown deepened, and she said loudly, ”Adjust the bearing immediately, and return the way we came.”

Chu Jiaojiao and Xuzhou followed immediately.

Everyone understood that if they didn’t urgently adjust their course, they would deviate further and eventually put themselves in danger.

Ji You had been quite composed all along, but now, cold sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead!

Absolutely!

There must not be any mishaps!

Thinking so, Ji You set her face and started giving orders: ”Sheng Qingyan, switch with Xuzhou at the helm! Remember, steady! It must be steady!”

Little Cutie might seem unserious, but she is actually the most meticulous one, quite powerful when it counts. And Xuzhou? Among everyone, Xuzhou is the most rigorous and disciplined. Handing over the task of adjusting the flight path to them made Ji You most reassured.

After being replaced by Sheng Qingyan, Chu Jiaojiao looked at Ji You, feeling quite ashamed and uncomfortable as she tentatively said:

”Ji... Ji You, classmate...”

Ji You, focusing ahead, said: ”The way you’re hesitating, it doesn’t look good at all.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

Ji You said: ”One mistake isn’t the end of the world. Just make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Ji You, classmate, I’m going on alert! I won’t be careless this time!”

Ji You waved her hand: ”Go ahead!”

After speaking, Ji You watched Chu Jiaojiao’s slightly hunched back, not able to help saying: ”I trust you.”

Chu Jiaojiao paused in her steps.

Ji You with a slight smile said: ”You’re such an animal! Of course, I trust you!”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao turned her head back, showing a smile: ”Ji You, classmate, even when you’re putting me down, you still look good.”

Ji You: ”...”

Chu Jiaojiao finished speaking and immediately hopped away.

Ji You cursed: ”Stupid face dog, really asking for a beating.”

Then, Ji You arranged everything one by one.

After Sheng Qingyan took the helm, he immediately changed the course and, to avoid encountering that level 8 Sea Iron Bull again, Sheng Qingyan didn’t return to the original location but instead moved forward a certain distance.

Just as everyone was cooperating and about to get back on track, and the crisis was about to be resolved—

Suddenly—

Boom—

A huge roar burst forth!

”Huh?”

Everyone looked back together, their faces changing:

”Fuck!”

”Holy shit!”

”Where was this bull hiding before?”

”Why wasn’t it detected earlier?”

...

But!!!

There’s no time for shock or confusion.

Ji You: ”Run!”

Sheng Qingyan and Xuzhou didn’t even need to be told, they had already maxed out the thrusters upon spotting the level 8 Sea Iron Bull.

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Although there was a distance, the damned Star Beast behind them seemed to be right behind the spaceship’s ass, everyone could even hear the sound of the wind it was creating while chasing.

”Moo—”

The Sea Iron Bull suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a howl, and at that moment, it jumped forward, leaping a long distance and instantly closing in on the spaceship. Then, the Sea Iron Bull twisted its head and with its pair of sharp horns, it ferociously charged towards the spaceship Ji You and the others were on—

Everyone’s mouths fell open: ”Fuck!”

Yue Qiguang even grabbed his hair, cursing loudly: ”Damn it! Dad has decided! The creature I hate most in my life now, is bulls!”

Water buffalo, scalper, dairy cow, Sea Iron Bull...

All of them go straight into the most hated list!

Yue Qiyuan gritted his teeth: ”Me too! I never get personal, but every creature with ’bull’ in its name is too damn ugly!”

Shen Changqing opened his mouth, originally not wanting to chime in, but still sternly said: ”I hate bulls too.”

Lou, gritting his teeth: ”Is it trying to ram our spaceship?”

Lance looked at Lou surprisingly, ”Are you just realizing this now?”

Chu Jiaojiao clicked her tongue: ”Why do bulls never like to attack from below?”

Zhang Ye: ”Your focus is really weird, isn’t it?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Cough cough...”

Facing the pressure of a level 8 Star Beast, there’s a real risk of death.

It might be one person.

It might be two people.

Maybe...

Maybe the entire team could be wiped out.

Although everyone was joking around, they all sprang into action, grabbed their weapons, and were mentally prepared to fight to the death.

At this moment, Ji You, keeping her eyes firmly on the Sea Iron Bull, raised her hand and commanded: ”Everyone follow my orders—”
