The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1675: Everyone Got Played

This shadow emerged suddenly, catching everyone unprepared, and in an instant, enveloped Ji You, He Bi... everyone along with the spaceship.

The next moment.

Vortexes, unknown creatures pulling at the ropes... all disappeared without a trace in that instant.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a thud in their hearts.

But!

For now, everyone put that aside and worked together to pull Ji You and Senior He Bi back onto the spaceship’s deck in one concerted effort.

Thud~

He Bi and Ji You were thrown onto the deck, and even when they landed on their feet, Ji You was still clutching He Bi’s legs tightly.

He Bi: ”Hey, hey, hey... you can let go now.”

Ji You scrambled up and, without missing a beat, stomped on He Bi’s face: ”This isn’t a place for you to speak.”

He Bi: ”...”

Ji You patted her buttocks and turned to Shen Changqing: ”Classmate Shen Changqing, go to the cockpit with Spicy Eye, and remember to act according to my orders later.”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Sheng Qingyan didn’t object, but before he left, he glanced at Ji You, looking constipated, muttering, ”Oh, poor dead, everyone’s life and safety are in your hands now, oh, you must protect everyone’s safety, oh. If you don’t protect everyone, oh, they’ll throw a fit and make your life unbearable, oh.”

”Nag.” Ji You kicked him: ”Hurry up and get lost.”

Sheng Qingyan clutched his buttocks and whined, ”Remember, oh, even if you’re dead, they can still make it impossible for you to be reincarnated, oh.”

Ji You: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan and Shen Changqing were already seated in the cockpit, but they didn’t make any moves because... the spaceship’s navigation equipment had all failed.

All signals, even the spaceship’s internal LAN, were suddenly cut off.

Outside, it was pitch black, as if the entire world consisted only of a single spaceship.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, He Bi... everyone felt weighed down.

Silence.

In this deathly silence, Ji You pinched her thigh hard, and in frustration, said, ”Disaster! We’ve all been tricked.”

”This unknown thing outside, its target is all of us, not any one of us, nor any single object.” Ji You’s voice was full of regret. She had survived many dangers and overcome many challenges, always doing her best and gaining rewards... this had also gradually boosted her confidence, to the point where she was now somewhat overconfident!

”Careless.” Ji You lowered her head: ”I didn’t think it through.”

”It’s not your fault.” The silent He Bi said softly: ”I’m the one primarily responsible.” When the group of crayfish was discovered, and realizing that this place was connected to another plane, He Bi lost his cool immediately, passionately wanting to rush in and explore.

No one expected to fall flat on their face.

”We’re at fault too.” Chu Jiaojiao said quietly, her tone somber.

Yue Qiyuan whispered: ”Me too.”

Yue Qiguang, Liu Fufeng, and Sheng Qingyan all dejectedly admitted they were wrong.

Looking at the pitch darkness outside, Shen Changqing opened his mouth and with a heavy tone said: ”I am also at fault. Everyone’s attention shifted in that moment, focusing entirely on Senior He Bi and Classmate Ji You’s safety, not realizing the danger would extend to everyone.”

This is what happens when panic leads to chaos.

Calmness, composure, and confidence...

They were all thrown out the window, and every one lost their cool, no one thought to first control the spaceship to ensure that the majority could escape the dangerous area...

Ji You gritted her teeth: ”Every day the predator gets preyed upon! We’ll swallow this loss! Next, don’t any of you give up—it’s just a blob of pretentious dark matter, isn’t it? Scared of what? I’ll blow it up today!”

Yue Qiguang was the first to jump out, loudly saying: ”Yes! If it dares to come out, I’ll punch it to smithereens till its head disappears.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness surrounding the spaceship began to squirm, pressing against the spaceship as if it were a blob of flesh...

Ji You had a bad premonition: ”You guys think, could it be that we’re inside some monster’s stomach?”

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”I think we’re more likely in its intestines.”

”Wrong.” Yue Qiguang said: ”I think we’re in its stomach.”

Liu Fufeng, with his beautiful eyes full of anxiety, said: ”I think you all are making it sound too pleasant, maybe we’re at its exhaust end?”

Everyone: ”...”

Ji You glared at him: ”Shut up.”

”...” Liu Fufeng lowered his head and muttered softly: ”But the stomach, intestines, they’re hardly different, after all, they all end at the exhaust point.”

Ji You’s eyelid twitched, ignoring Liu Fufeng, and instead contemplated how to break the current scenario.

At that moment, He Bi suddenly said: ”If I’m not mistaken, the place we’re in now is the wall of that plane’s passage.”

Ji You: ”Hm?”

He Bi said: ”This wall of passage is slightly different from the space rift we entered, but it is definitely not a living being, so we don’t have to worry about being excreted as waste.”

Hearing this, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the heavy atmosphere.

He Bi: ”...”

This group of guys, seriously, letting go of danger just because of such a trivial thing.

He Bi said: ”It’s moving, but we need to be careful. Once it stops, that’s when we’ll face danger.”

Ji You asked: ”Does stopping mean we’ve reached that plane?”

He Bi said: ”Not necessarily, but I’d estimate there’s an 80% likelihood.”

”Then let’s assume it has.” Ji You clapped her hands, prioritizing this potential outcome, then shouted: ”Xiaoqing, Spicy Eye, maximize the Protective Shield, prioritize energy for that, put everything else aside for now.”

Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan: ”Yes.”

Ji You said: ”Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, you two go to the spaceship’s left wing, ready to go out and fight at any moment.”

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang: ”Yes.”

Ji You said: ”Liu Fufeng, Yue Qiyuan, quickly move to the spaceship’s right wing.”

The two quickly rose, Liu Fufeng looking unsteady, as if he might trip just walking, but he bravely made his way to the designated spot.

Then, Ji You said: ”Trash man—”

He Bi’s eyelid twitched.

Ji You said: ”You’re the only mobile personnel in the team, go wherever you’re needed, make sure to think quickly and react flexibly, avoid making wrong judgments, can you manage that?”

He Bi said: ”I can, but could you use my actual name?”

Ji You said: ”No.”

He Bi: ”...”
