Soul Mechanic [Interstellar] - Chapter 112
【Starscream Pirates】
The hull shook violently again, and Chu Qingtian tightly protected the guide.
Lu Xun’s voice came from the terminal, “A star thief intercepted the ship.” The voice was extremely calm, and it didn’t seem to be talking about a major matter of life or death.
In fact, without Lu Xun’s words, Chu Qingtian felt it.
The vibration of the spacecraft came suddenly and the tilt angle was abnormal. There was a 90% chance of being attacked by a heavy weapon. Furthermore, the cockpit has been silent, it is very likely that it has been hijacked.
Chu Qingtian guessed right.
Just a few seconds ago, several dark mechas clung to the cockpit like spiders.
Several desperadoes came out of the mecha wearing strange styles of space suits, and several shots blasted the air-exchange valve of the spacecraft and dived into the spacecraft.
The spaceship stopped shaking, but the sentinel’s heart became more disturbed.
Sure enough, after a while, a cold voice came from the speaker, “K44 has been taken over by the Starscream Pirates, everyone, give up resistance—”
As soon as the voice fell, a group of black-clad thugs broke into the hall and fired at the group.
The pirates deliberately removed the muzzle muffler, and the blast of machine guns, the screams of women, the sound of laser shots cutting the flesh, and the sound of blood splashing all made them nervous.
Chu Qingtian clenched his fists, Mu Qiu also turned blue with anger.
At this time, they can’t care whether they will reveal their identity, facing the inhumane villains, facing the unarmed people, as Union soldiers, they can’t stand idly by—they never put the “wanted order” in their eyes. .
At this time, Lu Xun rushed over from the other direction, and Simon was by his side, neither of them looked very good.
Mu Qiu pushed Chu Qingtian’s shoulders and lowered his voice, “Go ahead, Simon and I stay here. It’s okay to protect yourself.”
Chu Qingtian looked at him deeply and nodded.
He pressed a kiss heavily on his partner’s forehead and turned away without hesitation.
Lu Xun quickly confessed a few notes to Simon and Mu Qiu before rushing to the hall.
At this time, they are still wearing work clothes, and their appearance has not returned to their original appearance, but the aura of the whole body is completely different.
Simon stretched out his tentacles, swayed around this small and dark corner, and whispered to Mu Qiu, “Are we really going to wait here?”
Mu Qiu pursed his lips and said firmly: “No!”
Simon was taken aback. “Are you… just perfunctory captain?”
“How can it be said to be’perfunctory’?” Mu Qiu retorted, “It’s clearly to make him feel at ease.”
Simon shrugged, not going to argue, “So, what can we do?”
“There are so many things to do.” Mu Qiu pointed to the location of the central control room, “For example, to save Uncle Maggie.”
When Simon heard the words, his eyes widened sharply, and his voice rose uncontrollably, “Qiuqiu, have you found Uncle Maggie?!”
Mu Qiu hurriedly made a “hush” gesture, “It was… someone else told me.” Thinking of the “Oolong” just now, his expression was a little unnatural.
Simon didn’t ask much, at this moment, nothing was more important than rescuing Uncle Maggie earlier.
—
I have to say that the two guides had good luck.
There is a narrow passage from the small corner next to the hall to the central control room, which is usually used to deliver food and beverages to the captain and others, except for the internal staff.
Mu Qiu was very fortunate that he had turned over the employee handbook from beginning to end, otherwise he would not have noticed such an excellent shortcut.
At this time, the two were tiptoeing in the passage. On the one hand, they had to be careful not to be discovered by the pirates, and on the other hand, they had to be wary of other staff.
At the same time, inside the hall.
Chu Qingtian appeared silently behind a black-clothed man standing in a corner, covering his mouth with one hand and holding a gun in the other. Then, another pair of well-knotted hands passed through from behind with a “click”, breaking the black clothes. Human neck.
The other party lost his life before he could press the rescuer, or even utter a painful cry for a while.
The two did the same, solving the two men in black one after another, and then dragged them to a hidden place and changed into their clothes.
As for the corpse, it was thrown directly into the garbage disposer—it only takes three minutes, and the two disgusting garbage will be dehydrated, deodorized, and then compressed into two-inch thick round cakes. When the spacecraft docked at the garbage stars along the way, these two unusually single colored round cakes would be thrown down mercilessly like other colorful round cakes.
After waiting for three minutes, Lu Xun lowered his head and swiped the small J system—sure enough, the guides were no longer in their original positions.
Obviously Chu Qingtian also discovered this fact, helpless but also faintly proud-who made him look after such a guide from a military academy?
The two looked at each other and were full of enthusiasm-all they could do was clear more obstacles for the guides and ensure their safety to the utmost extent.
—
On the other side, near the central control room, a man and a woman are having a fierce dispute.
To be precise, it was a unilateral dispute between women, and men just listened indifferently, or did not listen.
“Brussels, this is the task of the two of us, why should we pull in unrelated people?!” The red-haired lady looked very excited, she couldn’t even control her emotions, a pair of translucent mental tentacles violently in mid-air Shaking, “He’s just a child!”
Hearing this, the man named “Brussels” finally uttered, still with the gentle and harmless look on his face, “Child? No, Linda, I’m just carrying out the order-rescue the target person at all costs-I Say, is your reaction too big?”
The red-haired woman named “Linda” was speechless for a while, but her face was still very bad.
Brussels sighed softly, and his tone eased, “Linda, things have happened. Instead of entangled with that, we should think of a way. How can we pass this door under the eyes of the Starscream Pirates?”
Linda’s tentacles shook, but she was thinking about other things—yes, if they could rescue the target person first, Qiuqiu wouldn’t have to take a risk!
Thinking of this, Linda no longer cares about the inconsistent person next to him, but instead concentrates on trying.
It didn’t take long for Mu Qiu and Simon to walk along the convenient passage to the outside of the central control room.
According to the manual, they are located at the side door of the central control room—however, at this time, there is only a smooth and seamless wall standing in front of them, and the door cannot be located at all.
On the other side, Linda, who was hiding in the corner, noticed that they had come and behaved differently.
Brussels raised her eyebrows with interest, but Linda’s eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.
Mu Qiu glanced over there with feeling.
Brussels quickly touched the stealth equipment, and in a flash, a transparent film encircled his and Ms. Linda’s bodies, temporarily isolating them from the outside world.
Mu Qiu blinked suspiciously.
Simon looked at his companion and asked in a low voice, “Did you find anything?”
Mu Qiu pointed in the direction of the corner, and also whispered back: “There seems to be someone…but they just left.” Because he couldn’t feel anything now, there was no sound, no smell, and no mental fluctuations.
“Is it a pirate?” Simon couldn’t help feeling nervous.
Mu Qiu shook his head, “It shouldn’t be, I don’t feel any malice. Let’s find a way to get in first, so as not to grow out of branches.”
Simon nodded, and once again turned his attention to the metal door in front of him.
“What a sensitive little fat man!” Brussels breathed a sigh of relief.
Linda’s mouth twitched visibly when she heard the words “little fat man”.
After two sentences, Simon discovered something unusual.
“The material used here seems to be…” Simon’s tone hesitated, and seemed a little uncertain.
“It’s the same as Ironclad Star’s room.” Mu Qiu said for him-because of his professional skills, he was very sensitive in terms of materials.
“Why does the K44 spacecraft have this material?” Simon wondered.
“Didn’t we sign a contract with Ironclad Star? Maybe this material is included in the transaction.” Mu Qiu said indifferently.
Simon nodded appreciatively.
Although the guides are the nominal owners of the tree-man planet and the southern caravan, they haven’t touched on business matters at all, so they don’t understand.
—At this moment, if Lu Xun or Chu Qingtian were here, they would definitely not take this matter so easily.
“No wonder the tentacles can’t penetrate easily.” Simon shook the tentacles, looking a little cute.
Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows, “Neither can you?”
“I’m talking about’easy’.” Simon made a rare joke.
Mu Qiu is pleased to see the result of his friend’s relaxation at this moment.
He patted the other person on the shoulder, and encouraged in a meaningful way: “Come on!”
Simon couldn’t help but smile, his face that became ugly from drinking the fusion potion bloomed like spring flowers in an instant.
Almost blinded Mu Qiu’s eyes.
If there was no Chu Qingtian, he would definitely chase this guy, yes, just by his appearance! —Mu Qiu thought not afraid of death.
Simon didn’t notice this. He skillfully separated the golden tentacles into needle-sized particles without any difficulty.
Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows, and before he knew it, Simon was already so great—he had to work hard!
As mentioned earlier, one of the abilities of golden antennae is “separation”. It can use the inter-molecular gaps to separate the individual molecules that make up the substance for compression or reorganization.
At this time, Simon was doing such a job.
A palm-sized crack appeared on the originally smooth wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With the movement of the tentacles, the cracks grew larger and larger, like being torn apart by an invisible hand, but within a short time, an opening that can be passed through by a single person was formed.
Simon looked at Mu Qiu’s…chubby belly, and widened the middle position with a smile, with a sort of mischief.
Mu Qiu gave him a funny push, and Simon fell into it.
Mu Qiu followed immediately.
The two of them can’t help but feel a little excited, but they are even more nervous-Uncle Maggie… will he be here?
They didn’t even know how surprised and complicated the men and women who saw this scene in the corner.
