Chapter 438 - Jump! (2/2)
The stars.h.i.+p is thrown into chaos. Conducting a search throughout it is time-consuming, since the stars.h.i.+p is huge, just like a satellite city suspended in mid-air. Therefore, it will take some time before the Alliance reaches the living area.
In this situation, the lizard soldiers guarding the door receive an instant notice to supervise the hostages before the arrival of the reinforcements.
Before the lizard soldiers. .h.i.t the alloy door, it slides open silently. Colin Weir comes out of the room with a cold look. “I hear that the enemy has infiltrated the stars.h.i.+p. You should have an eye on the hostages! Since there are so many areas on the stars.h.i.+p, the enemy won’t be here within a short time.”
The lizard soldiers nod, their eyes involuntarily surveying the area behind Colin Weir. Things are clear at a glance, for this room, unlike a luxury suite, occupies only a few square meters.
Only three hostages are in the room. The lizard soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.
Colin Weir closes the door in their face and walks to the central control room.
In the room behind him, someone is planning a crazy thing. If it fails, he will be a traitor to the Alliance. Death is nothing to him; He would rather die than sully the reputation of his family. However, even if that succeeds, he may have to erase his ident.i.ty and start over henceforth.
Neither is a good choice. Nevertheless, Colin feels excited in spite of himself. Is he what’s called… an a.s.s?
Colin Weir looks grim as usual. He enters the central control room unhurriedly. His anxiety can be detected only by the subtle changes in his eyes.
…
“Xiaozhi, are you ready?”
Several teams have arrived at the room which is guarded by the lizard soldiers. It has been only four or five minutes since Lin Luoran sneaked into the stars.h.i.+p. Three minutes ago, she and the intelligent brain program decided to carry out a bold, interesting plan and now they have come to the critical stage.
“Five minutes for preparation is not that sufficient. After all, it’s not travelling from the earth to the moon.”
Child’s voice gives a human touch to the electronic sound of Xiaozhi, the absolute controller of the stars.h.i.+p. Undoubtedly, Xiaozhi can tackle issues without Lin Luoran’s help.
They are planning to go somewhere without coordinates. It is intriguing but inevitably worrying.
“The stars.h.i.+p is ready for a s.p.a.ce jump. Please cling to the nearest object, for the jump may cause dizziness and spiritual tingling…”
Hearing the mechanical sound, members of the Alliance are completely stunned.
Looking at each other, they can’t believe what’s happening. The technology experts wear expressions that are never seen before. It’s so funny.
“What?”
“s.p.a.ce jump? Who ordered that!”
Personnel tries to break into the system of the intelligent brain program, while Gaut Sutherland has a grim, defeated look on his face.
“Haha… I said earlier that this d.a.m.n intelligent brain program had betrayed us…”
“The backdoor is closed. It’s impossible to enter the system.”
“The information channel is blocked. Requests for help can’t be forwarded.”
“A s.p.a.ce jump… has already begun.”
“We are finished!” Many people say to themselves. The light in the central control room becomes unstable, and the stars.h.i.+p starts shaking. Many technicians with low spirit power have turned blue, and their bodies are beginning to tremble slightly.
Headache, weakness, weightlessness, shaking.
All are indicative of the stars.h.i.+p’s ongoing s.p.a.ce jump!
s.h.i.+t! Where will the earth cultivator take them?
