The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1646: Chapter 1646: On the Spaceship

According to the current speed of the Mecha, it will take about 3 hours for Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao to successfully reach position K-Q75. After 3 hours, X-N3848 will officially distance itself from the Mecha.

In other words, if any problems occur once Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao arrive, He Bi will lead everyone on X-N3848 to quickly come to the rescue.

But!

If Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao successfully reach the K-Q75 spaceship without any issues, He Bi will pilot the spaceship to swiftly distance itself from the direction of the two Mechas, making rescue not as convenient should problems arise.

Why can’t X-N3848 stop here and wait to participate in the rescue?

This is the request of Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, and also the command issued by He Bi as Captain. Because any individual can be sacrificed, but the team cannot be completely wiped out.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao can have accidents as individuals.

He Bi, as Captain, can also have accidents.

Everyone in the team can sacrifice as individuals, yet the team must be preserved. Entering the space rift for exploration is not just their personal task, but also the school’s task and the mission of the entire Alliance...

Prior to entering the space rift, those 10 warships paved the way and provided escort for humanity. The warriors who sacrificed, the corpses and Mecha wreckage turned into space debris... still flashing incessantly in Ji You’s mind...

Others can sacrifice, she and her companions certainly can as well.

Ji You sits in the Mechanical Cabin, the Connection Device links to her spiritual power, maintaining high-speed flight and full vigilance. Ji You’s spiritual power load is a bit heavy. In a corner unseen, her complexion turns pale, sweat beads continuously emerge from her forehead...

Yet Ji You’s gaze grows more determined, her tone neither high nor low, she says to Chu Jiaojiao: ”Jiaojiao, in 10 minutes we will completely distance ourselves from the spaceship. Are you afraid?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”?”

Ji You asks: ”Are you afraid?”

Chu Jiaojiao seems slightly displeased, saying: ”Classmate Ji You, is this how you see me? Does Chu Jiaojiao look like someone who would be afraid?”

Ji You smiles with pursed lips, hadn’t had time to speak when the next second Chu Jiaojiao exclaims: ”You guessed right, I’m afraid, afraid I’ll never see Classmate Ji You again—”

Chu Jiaojiao adds: ”Your face.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You takes a deep breath, gazing forward, saying: ”Since that’s the case, then stay alive well, without my permission, don’t even think about dying.”

Chu Jiaojiao shouts: ”Yes.”

K-Q75 is right ahead, becoming increasingly clear, and the kind of shake it exhibits grows more apparent before Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao. Ji You gazes, softly says: ”With a determination to die, taking a gulp of confidence to live, Jiaojiao, let’s go—”

Chu Jiaojiao responds loudly: ”Yes.”

As soon as the words fall, Ji You no longer hesitates, pulls the thruster to its maximum, she pilots the Mecha ’Blade’, driving the speed to the extreme, leaps towards the target!

Chu Jiaojiao follows closely behind—

On the spaceship, the pupils of He Bi, Yue Qiyuan, and others contract, the whole scene turns silent!

Whoosh—

Like a cannonball, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao speed all the way, upon nearing K-Q75, without hesitation, they leap onto the wings of the spaceship.

As the two Mechas accelerate, the previously shaking K-Q75 suddenly quiets down, the image conveyed by the detector shows this spaceship seems like a lone boat in the ocean, with nothing on board.

After jumping onto the wings, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao do not hurry to log on but quietly stay motionless for a while.

Standing on the body, Ji You observes carefully, the color of this spaceship previously looked much deeper, but upon close inspection, no anomalies were found.

Chu Jiaojiao and Ji You exchange a glance, seeing perplexity in each other’s eyes.

Could it be the color collected by the detector is problematic?

The two remain silent, carefully feeling the changes around.

Silent—

It seems the entire spaceship truly has nothing living, which makes Ji You’s mood heavy, the two do nothing, continue standing on the spaceship for about 5 minutes, when a mild shake is felt, following it, the shakes quicken and intensify...

The next second, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao nearly fall.

No previous storm around, no anomalies present, nor a living creature visible, these shakes seem inexplicable as if waves arise without wind.

Ji You’s hand suddenly clenches, she turns to Chu Jiaojiao, Chu Jiaojiao turns to her—

[Do we make a move?]

Chu Jiaojiao wishes to ask, but rather silently looks at Ji You, questioning without voice.

[No.] Ji You shakes her head, she had grasped the knack of Sound Wave Transmission, without opening her mouth, she could convey through spiritual power to Chu Jiaojiao, but due to the uncertainty of the danger source and specific situation, Ji You dares not to recklessly move, only silently gesturing.

[Wait a bit.]

Sure enough, the increasingly intense shakes last less than 3 seconds, then suddenly stop.

Then, Ji You distinctly feels the spaceship moves about 5 kilometers from its original spot due to the shakes.

Ji You furrows her brows.

The two remain motionless, waiting for a while, the shaking force returns, then stops, and the spaceship indeed advances about 5 kilometers.

Chu Jiaojiao looks at Ji You: ”?”

[What on earth is this thing controlling the spaceship’s motion?]

Ji You shakes her head.

She guesses but cannot provide an answer. Through the spaceship’s anomaly, Ji You can only ascertain there’s certainly a creature lurking here.

However, this creature, Ji You cannot sense a bit, whether its spiritual fluctuations or physical movements, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao cannot catch any.

This worsens things!

The spaceship being controlled by a monster, whether to land or retreat immediately?

Plus, has this monster discovered Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao?

Currently dictating the situation, has it discovered yet disdained to care about the two? Is it because both’s strengths are too low, in its eyes just like ants, so it can ignore?

Or—

Has this monster secretly set eyes on both, ready to kill them any moment?

Standing on the wing, Ji You clearly sees the advertisement board hanging from the bow ’Haolai’, also sees everything on the spaceship’s deck clearly.

On the deck, there are a total of 6 sets of tables and chairs, each table has dishes and cutlery, and several plates of cooked dishes. Two tables have been touched, while the other 4 tables show no signs of being moved, although the chairs are scattered as if diners were suddenly met with an unexpected situation and hurriedly pulled out chairs to leave.

What puzzles Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao is not just the food and tables on the deck, but also how the plates and cutlery on the table didn’t budge even a bit with the earlier ship shaking.
