Chapter 1367: 448. Many people! Come quickly! _2

As for why the navigation computer didn’t take over the ship after the Undying’s souls were sucked away by the black hole, that can be explained more easily. It involves mechanical operational errors, abnormal linking of electronic brains, and so on.

For example, after the players’ bodies lost their souls, they might have accidentally leaned forward and pressed down on the acceleration lever, causing the spaceship to move forward in a straight line.

Another example is that after the players’ souls entered the black hole, their electronic brains mechanically executed the last command given, which was to move forward in a straight line, and that led to the accident.

Regardless, the plundering team breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

The collision incidents involving several battleships were not enough to attract the attention of the “space police” — the Security Guards of the United Bureau.

However, as time passed, more and more collision incidents occurred.

One ship after another lost control, careening wildly in the docking area near the black hole.

Just as the plundering team was on tenterhooks, fearing that the anomaly would draw the Security Guards, a top-secret message from the Alliance’s headquarters appeared in everyone’s electronic brains.

This was a piece of encrypted video information.

After opening the video, an image of an Undying appeared on the screen.

According to the characters displayed on the screen, this person was a secret agent planted by Angel Enterprises Alliance within the United Bureau.

Just now, this Undying had sent a piece of information to the Redemption Angel Group, with the specific details contained in the video.

“Hello everyone, I’m a flight pilot who has been practicing for two and a half years.”

“I’ve received reliable news that the brain responsible for rendering the scenery inside and outside the Black Hole Magic Academy, as well as providing player data exchange services for that area, has experienced a serious communication accident.”

“Simply put, all players near the Black Hole Magic Academy, whether they are outside the black hole or inside the academy, will be disconnected and unable to log in for a short time.”

“Starry Sea game officials have already responded to the players’ disconnections and are currently working on emergency repairs. It is estimated that within the next 3 hours, the player characters near the Black Hole Magic Academy will be paralyzed.”

“Starry Sea officials promise to compensate players for any losses they incur during the disconnection period, so please be patient.”

After the video, a passage of text appeared, with instructions from the Redemption Angel Group’s headquarters for the plundering team to verify the situation on-site based on the video information to see if the message content was true.

For a moment, the atmosphere within the plundering team fell silent.

The reason was nothing short of the shocking news in the video.

All the pilots who came to take part in the plundering operation had some understanding of the “Undead.”

They knew the Undead often referred to themselves as players and always believed they were playing a large multiplayer online game called “Starry Sea.”

They were even more aware of what terms like “disconnection” and “losing connection” meant.

It meant!

For the next 3 hours, all player bodies and ships in the vicinity of the black hole would be in a state of helplessness ripe for the taking!

Not just the player bodies at the escort ship docking area, but also the elite players on the battleships would become targets for the plundering team.

Crucially, the strength of the players themselves was directly proportional to the specifications of the ships they piloted.

Inexperienced players piloted shuttles and escort ships.

Emerging players piloted cruisers and battle cruisers.

Only the truly elite could afford their own battleships, or rent them.

Earlier on, the Archangel Group had already proven with empirical evidence that only elite players like “Cucumber Slice” might withstand the toxicity of the synthetic cerebrospinal fluid.

Even if such players were dragged from the battleships, or taken back to the Alliance, wouldn’t that mean that the Alliance would quickly train a large number of Undead pilots?!

And these were pilots capable of flying Artificial Angels!

My God, this wonderful opportunity had come so unexpectedly?!

The plundering team couldn’t believe that they might actually bring about a major expansion in the Alliance’s forces.

Looking again at the top-secret message sent by the Group Command, everyone realized that the headquarters also wanted to expand their victory.

The headquarters planned to take advantage of this opportunity to capture a large number of elite players from the periphery of the black hole and bring them to the Alliance to forcibly become pilots for the Artificial Angels.

Only in this way could the Alliance successfully complete the task of drastically increasing its forces.

Everything now depended on how the plundering team responded to the Group Command.

Looking at the current scene, it was clear that the players were indeed experiencing a large-scale disconnection.
