Chapter 432 The Predator Trapping Plan (31)
Once the 24-hour period is up, the hatch closes, and the spacecraft launches and ascends into space.
Yan Zhen looked down through the porthole. As the spaceship flew higher and higher, the collapsed and mottled ground looked like the size of a child's toy.
Soon, the spaceship broke out of the gravitational wave, and a broadcast could be heard.
"The spaceship will initiate a space jump in three minutes. The next destination is 130 light-years away. The jump will take about 17 minutes."
During the jump, you may experience tinnitus and dizziness. Please stand firm and hold on. Passengers prone to seasickness, please find the nearest seat, fasten your seatbelt, and contact staff if you feel unwell…
It was Yan Zhen's first time riding a spaceship, and she didn't know if she would get seasick. She was originally looking out the porthole, but she quickly found a seat and fastened her seatbelt.
Haier, standing to the side, had a pair of temporary glasses perched on his nose, borrowed from a staff member. The prescription wasn't strong enough, but he could manage by squinting.
He had a computer on his lap, and his fingers flew across the keyboard as he operated it, occasionally glancing at Yan Zhen.
"Sister Jiang, are you seasick?"
"I don't know, just in case."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rong, who was leaning against another porthole, suddenly exclaimed "Holy crap!"
Yan Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why did it explode?"
Yan Zhen unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned closer to take a look. He saw a dense ring of warships and spaceships surrounding the N613 gravitational layer, numbering at least three or four hundred.
They were all aimed at N613 right now, ready to fire shells at any moment and blast this garbage planet into dust.
However, what made Shen Rong "Holy crap" was not these warships and spaceships, but that the spaceship they were on, named "Above the Clouds," had just left the gravitational layer of N613 when the garbage planet, which was already half collapsed, suddenly began to collapse rapidly inward.
The collapse triggered a powerful inward airflow, which, with overwhelming force, dragged warships and spaceships outside the gravitational layer into the N613 gravitational layer. As the N613 exploded and disintegrated, it shattered into countless fragments.
Some warships and spacecraft reacted quickly, desperately flying away from N613 and escaping disaster.
But the next moment, the space outside the gravitational layer began to rotate and twist, and one after another, warships bearing the letter G648 flew out from the space jump, crashing into the ships that were surrounding N613 as if committing suicide.
The two ships collided, exploding in the air like a series of beautiful flowers.
Yan Zhen and Shen Rong subconsciously turned their heads to look at Haier.
Haier, holding his personal computer, raised his chin with an expression that said, "Basic operation, don't idolize me too much." Before they could even ask, he said, "That's right, my brother-in-law instructed me to do it!"
Yan Zhen: "..."
Shen Rong: "..."
The warships outside the spaceship were bombed and the sky was dark, but the spaceship "above the clouds" remained unharmed and activated a space jump in the next moment, quickly leaving this place of trouble.
The space jump, which lasted for more than ten minutes, ended quickly, and Yan Zhen felt no discomfort.
The announcement rang out again overhead: "Dear passengers, welcome to coordinates NGC 6101. The spaceship will continue its journey for twenty-three minutes to reach its destination C032. Have a pleasant journey."
"It only takes seventeen minutes to travel a distance of one hundred and thirty light-years." Yan Zhen exclaimed in amazement, "The intelligence of higher beings is both practical and terrifying."
Twenty-three minutes later, the spacecraft passed through the gravitational layer with perfect timing, entering C032.
Five minutes later, it landed at the designated location.
A burst of static came from the loudspeaker, followed by a pleasant female voice: "Passengers from planet N613, this is your contact person from planet C032. The hatch to 'Above the Clouds' will open in five minutes. Please take your luggage and your family members and line up to exit the hatch in an orderly manner—except for Ms. Jiang Ti and her two companions."
Yan Zhen was taken aback.
The female voice continued, "I will arrange temporary accommodations for everyone. You all obtained passes before boarding the spaceship. These passes are not permanent residence permits. There are many restricted areas on C032. Whether you trespass intentionally or unintentionally, you will be killed—except for Ms. Jiang Ti and the other two."
Yan Zhen: "..."
"Whether you wish to stay on C032 to work and reside there permanently, or apply for green residency permits on other planets, the Lord of C032 has no objection—except for Ms. Jiang Ti and the other two."
Yan Zhen: "..."
Faced with the gazes cast by Shen Rong and Haier, she silently raised her hand to cover her face.
What kind of hobby does Qin Shao have? Why does he repeatedly mention her name in the broadcast broadcast to the entire spaceship?
She felt the same awkwardness she had when a boy confessed his love to her on the radio in high school.
Fortunately, the female voice ended the broadcast soon after.
The suite door opened, and a tall, blonde woman walked in, smiling as she said to Yan Zhen and the others, "Miss Jiang, Miss Shen, Mr. Refrigerator, please follow me."
Yan Zhen and Shen Rong immediately stood up.
Haier was a beat late, but when he caught up, he walked ahead of the blonde woman and emphasized, "My name is Haier."
"Okay, Mr. Refrigerator."
Haier: "..."
After walking a few steps, Haier remembered his luggage: "We haven't taken our things yet."
"Don't worry, someone will bring it to your accommodation later."
Haier was relieved and followed the woman into the elevator.
Upon descending to the first floor, the cabin door was already open, and a dry and scorching atmosphere rushed towards us.
At the cabin door, fully armed staff were distributing anti-radiation suits. As soon as Yan Zhen walked over, two female staff members immediately stepped forward to help her put on the thick anti-radiation suit.
Donning a heavy helmet, Yan Zhen stepped out of "above the clouds" and was greeted by a world of towering buildings, bustling but not livable.
The sky was grayish-yellow, the air was dry and scorching, and as far as the eye could see, there was not a single green plant on the ground. All the people coming and going were wearing radiation-proof suits with heat insulation function.
The helmet panel of the radiation protection suit showed that the surface temperature of C032 was 113 degrees Celsius at that time.
"It's so hot?" Haier exclaimed in surprise. "If you crack an egg on the ground, will it cook?"
Shen Rong said, "Why don't you sit on the ground and you'll know?"
"I'll sit on the ground..." Haier started to say, then realized what Shen Rong meant. He feigned anger, "So, does sitting on the ground count as pan-frying pork chops?"
Shen Rong was also stunned, not because of Haier's description of "pork chop", but because this kid actually dared to talk back!
"Have you eaten bear's heart and leopard's gall?"
Haier crossed his arms and sneered, "This isn't N613 anymore, this is C032, my brother-in-law's territory! I don't need to rely on you anymore, so don't try to boss me around like you used to!"
Shen Rong: "..."
She raised her foot, which was covered in heavy protective clothing, and kicked Haier.
Before long, a small shuttle ship stopped in front of them. The blonde woman gestured for them to board.
The flight lasted less than ten minutes before the spacecraft landed on a vast, fenced-off desert.
A solitary white building stood in the desert, and Yan Zhen guessed that this was Qin Shao's residence.
However, once inside, she discovered that this building, comparable in size to the White House, was merely the "entrance" to Qin Shao's home—Qin Shao's home was underground.
