The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1755: Chapter 1755: Trusting You

”Isn’t it trying to kill us?”

”Its lair has been pried open, how can it still continue?” Ji You’s voice was very gentle, each word carrying immense power, heavy as a thousand pounds.

He Bi, Chu Jiaojiao... everyone’s hearts present were extraordinarily heavy.

But at the same time, not a single person retreated in fear.

At this moment, He Bi’s lips curved slightly as he said, ”Then you better live well. Don’t let us overturn its lair and find you’re gone.”

Sheng Qingyan covered the corner of her eye, speaking in a flippant tone, ”Poor dead ghost, if you die, not only will I not be sad, I’ll even spit on your corpse.”

”Cough...” Yue Qiguang said seriously, ”I suspect if she dies, there won’t even be a corpse left.”

Yue Qiyuan mulled over this, then said, ”Can’t we give Ji You a bit of confidence? I believe she could at least leave behind half a corpse.”

Hearing this, Ji You’s face was already full of black lines. At this moment, Chu Jiaojiao had to add fuel to the fire, saying, ”No way, I can’t accept that. If Ji You becomes half a corpse, I’ll be announcing I’m no longer a fan immediately.”

Ji You: ”...”

Liu Fufeng, supporting her body, said, ”I’ll... I’ll do a divination for her, see if it’s a whole corpse, half a corpse, or no corpse at all...”

Shen Changqing couldn’t take it anymore, raised his voice slightly, interrupting everyone, and said, ”Can we not say such things at a time like this? Let’s all calm down and think of a line to say to Ji You, as a sort of early farewell?”

Ji You: ”...”

No one’s human here.

If others aren’t human-like, fine, but since when did the honest Shen Changqing become so insidious? Not a single unpleasant word was used, but combined, how did these words become so unpleasant?

Ji You took a deep breath and said, ”Fine, make sure to live well, don’t let me break out of the enemy’s encirclement only to find you’ve all died, leaving me as the lonely leader, that wouldn’t be fun at all.”

After speaking, Ji You wiped off her playful smile, stood on Old Yellow Bull’s head, raised her hand, turned her back to He Bi and others, and said loudly, ”Everyone, listen up—depart immediately!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the group of people, who were completely unfazed by life and death, all became serious. And at this moment, under the control of Shen Changqing and He Bi, the X-N3848 spaceship quickly separated from Ji You and Old Yellow Bull. At that same moment, Old Yellow Bull charged towards the enemy, carrying Ji You.

No one turned back, and no one stopped.

He Bi, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others carried out the plan thoroughly, rushing into the grid compartment in the blink of an eye.

And Ji You, with great endurance, did not retreat a single step.

In an instant, the two groups were separated by a great distance, and then they completely disappeared from each other’s sight.

After Ji You and Old Yellow Bull completely disappeared, He Bi couldn’t help himself and turned to glance at the detector’s screen, where Ji You’s silhouette could no longer be seen.

He Bi’s fingers quivered.

The next moment, He Bi’s expression didn’t change, and he said, ”Don’t look back, keep moving forward.”

Shen Changqing’s head seemed fixed in place, not turning back. After pressing his lips together, his voice slightly hoarse, he said, ”Understood.”

This decision by Ji You was to draw firepower forward, hold back all the enemies, and create enough time for everyone.

Everyone was already familiar with the farm. Maybe after entering the grid compartment, they would encounter an ambush or, like last time, get locked up in the grid cage, unable to escape for a short time, and being caught easily.

However—

Even so, no one would back down.

Because, in this unfamiliar plane, they could only get enemy information from this relatively familiar compartment and find a breakthrough.

This decision was made by Ji You.

Therefore, Shen Changqing chose to trust Ji You. Not only him, but He Bi, Chu Jiaojiao... everyone chose to believe in Ji You’s judgment.

So—

No one paused, no one hesitated. As soon as the spaceship charged into the grid compartment, they immediately dismantled the first grid.

As the grid compartment was dismantled, a large group of small lobsters was released. These lobsters were not very large, about the size of an adult, and had extremely low attack power. There was no need to launch a powerful artillery attack. After the spaceship entered, these lobsters scattered in all directions.

Surprised lobsters scattered in all directions, with a few being caught in nets cast by Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiyuan inspected them briefly and said, ”Senior He Bi, these lobsters are exactly the same as those we encountered in the space rift.”

He Bi watched the still-escaping lobsters and said, ”Open a few more grids and observe where these lobsters are going.”

Yue Qiyuan said, ”Yes.”

The mixture Ji You made last time still works in this farm. It dissolved one grid instantly, giving everyone a lot of confidence.

This indicates that the enemy’s technology has not improved; it’s still the same materials, so they have a chance to escape this compartment.

Everyone performed their duties quickly, dismantling several grids in no time.

To control such a vast space, dismantling one by one was clearly too slow. The most pressing need was time. The fastest method was to find the Control Center.

He Bi stood beside the control panel in the cockpit, observing the dynamics around him. His mind remained clear as the group concentrated their efforts, clearing a large area of the grid compartment, creating an open activity space. He Bi quickly said, ”Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan are in charge of dismantling, while Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan are in charge of searching for the control center.”

After making his steady arrangements, He Bi turned to the slender figure quietly staying in the corner and said, ”Liu Fufeng...”

”Here.” Liu Fufeng, sitting in the corner, raised his head.

He Bi said, ”Expand your Spiritual Network and monitor within a 10-kilometer radius outside the farm. Can you do it?”

No way.

His own spiritual power couldn’t possibly do that.

...

Liu Fufeng clenched his palms and nodded, ”I can.”

Even if I can’t, I have to.

He Bi said, ”You need to last at least 10 minutes. If you detect any enemy sound, report the location to me immediately.”

Liu Fufeng: ”Okay.”

He Bi paused for a moment, raised his hand, patted Liu Fufeng’s thin shoulder gently, and said softly, ”I believe in you, just as I believe in Ji You.”

Liu Fufeng shuddered, lifted his head, and those dark, beautiful eyes looked at He Bi as a glimmer of light flashed...

The next second.

He Bi took a step and walked briskly to the turret.

Then.

He Bi grasped the controller, squinting his eyes, aiming at the monitor—
