The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1644: Chapter 1644: Another Encounter

”Wait a moment!” When Ji You saw the somewhat familiar object, she didn’t make a fuss, instead she connected to He Bi’s communication, and said, ”Senior, can you come over here?”

At this moment, after entering the Space Rift, X-N3848 was no longer within the coverage of the Star Network. The communication method they were using now was the spaceship’s own configured small local area network.

Upon hearing this, He Bi’s expression became solemn. Without thinking, he stuffed the kitchen knife in his hand into Shen Changqing’s hand, who was waiting beside him, ready to eat caramel pudding.

Shen Changqing subconsciously took the kitchen knife.

”?” After taking it, Shen Changqing looked down at the knife, slightly puzzled, and looking up again, saw that Senior He Bi had already taken large strides out of the kitchen.

At this moment, Ji You’s voice came through the spaceship broadcast: ”We’ve discovered something. Everyone stay alert, no need to gather, keep the current situation for now.”

Upon hearing this, everyone paused.

Then.

Yue Qiyuan and Sheng Qingyan remained on the deck, maintaining their defensive posture. Sheng Qingyan looked around with binoculars but didn’t find any abnormality.

Yue Qiyuan asked: ”What did you find?”

Due to the distance being extremely far, the image collected by the spaceship’s remote sensing equipment was just a tiny fragment, making it difficult for Ji You to accurately judge the situation. She just vaguely saw a faint silhouette... Ji You softly said: ”Yue Qiguang, check this coordinate with Spicy Eye using the binoculars.”

Ji You sent over the coordinates.

Yue Qiyuan and Sheng Qingyan immediately aimed in the direction of the coordinates but found nothing.

Thus, Ji You felt assured and said: ”The binoculars we have are useless. I’ve tried several other types of sensing equipment and still found nothing. Only the only high-tech detector specially configured on the X-N3848 spaceship can detect a little bit.”

Upon hearing this from Ji You, everyone’s heartstrings tightened instantly.

Could it be that the frog egg monster has returned?

This slightly troubling thought lingered in the minds of Yue Qiyuan and Sheng Qingyan for a moment before they quickly dismissed it.

Very soon.

He Bi entered the cockpit, and Ji You showed the images captured by the detector to He Bi. His originally relaxed expression instantly tightened.

”Is this—” Staring closely at the monitor, He Bi hesitated and said, ”Is it K-Q75?”

Ji You pursed her lips and said, ”I’m not quite sure, the distance is really too far away, plus the image flashed by, even after enlarging it 10,000 times, I still couldn’t find any iconic features of this spaceship.”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Senior, we tried continuing to explore in that direction, it seems to have disappeared again; there’s nothing there.”

He Bi frowned. ℯℯ𝑙.

The atmosphere became slightly silent.

Whether in the cockpit or other corners, there was a complete silence.

A few seconds later.

Ji You asked, ”Senior, do we need to change course?” After changing course, heading towards the possible appearance direction of K-Q75?

”Unable to determine if it’s a trap for now.” He Bi shook his head and said, ”Continue exploring in that direction, if we still find nothing in 30 minutes, we carry on as usual.”

Just as He Bi finished speaking, the image on the monitor changed, from the pitch dark emerged a thing. Its contour, under the enlarged picture, clearly revealed itself in front of the eyes of He Bi, Ji You, and Chu Jiaojiao, making their expressions instantly change!

”It’s K-Q75!” Chu Jiaojiao widened her eyes and said, ”The Haolai slogan is clearly visible!”

Ji You frowned tightly and said, ”No mistake, those large characters haven’t changed a bit.” Upon saying this sentence, Ji You’s expression changed and said, ”Incorrect! It’s not that they haven’t changed a bit — the color is wrong!”

He Bi: ”Hmm?”

Ji You pointed at the monitor and said, ”Look, it was bright red before, but now it’s dark red.”

He Bi moved closer to look.

Chu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, ”How could the color suddenly change? Did something else happen to the spaceship?”

Seeing K-Q75 on the channel wall, ’Haolai, delicious and you’ll come again.’ Those large characters were once bright red like blooming flowers...

”What to do?” Ji You asked.

Chu Jiaojiao also looked at He Bi.

He Bi frowned, remained silent for a moment, and said, ”Let’s go have a look.”

This was also Ji You’s intention; no matter what happened to K-Q75, since it had already been encountered, it was natural to go take a look.

What if there are survivors inside?

No!

What if everyone on the spaceship is still alive?

Ji You nodded, showed agreement, and said, ”We must go have a look.”

Then, through the broadcast, Ji You explained this decision to everyone.

Liu Fufeng softly said, ”I... I’m a bit scared.”

Yue Qiguang said, ”Scared of what! Dad is not scared a bit, just worried if it’s a meticulously planned ambush, then I’d be walking right into a trap, wouldn’t I?”

Yue Qiguang rarely used his brain, but the words he said were not without reason. Yue Qiyuan also said, ”Should we at least send signals first, rather than rushing over carelessly?”

Inside the spaceship, there was a moment of silence.

After a few seconds of quiet, Ji You softly said, ”Listen to me everyone, entering the Space Rift was already an adventure from the start, and our purpose is to continually risk to find more beneficial things. Since we have not seen a bit of extraneous things in such a vast area, and this spaceship reappeared right before us, we have no reason or need to refuse to embark on this exploration journey due to fear. Thus, my answer still is—Go.”

”Go! Of course, we must go!” Ji You stood up and looked at He Bi, saying: ”Senior, you stay on the spaceship, this time Jiaojiao and I will go first, okay?”

Upon hearing this, He Bi fell silent. According to his thoughts, of course, it would be most suitable for him to go, leaving the spaceship here to Ji You.

Ji You said, ”I think it’s not advised to go in large numbers. Jiaojiao and I can team up, and if encountering danger, we can avoid it flexibly. And with the senior holding the spaceship, we can get support anytime.”

The spaceship continued cruising steadily, and as it moved, it gradually deviated from the direction of K-Q75. The spaceship’s silhouette in the monitor flickered, on the verge of disappearing. The time for everyone to think it over was running short...

Under the wait of Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, He Bi finally spoke, saying: ”Fine.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao’s expressions turned very solemn, and Ji You looked at He Bi earnestly and said: ”Senior, rest assured, all exploration will be based on personal safety, we will definitely take care of ourselves.”

He Bi stared at Ji You, wanting to say something but finally just lightly nodded: ”Mm.”
