Chapter 3: I'm about to be eaten!
What Jack didn't know was that all the slaves remembered his kindness and friend-like attitude for his meal today.
After eating, Xiao Ye, who felt the warmth of his belly bulging for the first time, sat happily between the two elder brothers with his eyes squinted, holding Xiao Mei's fluffy tail and smoothing the hair, while leaning on Xiao Yan's thick but elastic bone armor, comfortable like a cat.
Jack, who had pacified the slaves, smiled slightly, left the space for them to rest, and quietly returned to the council chamber with his lieutenant.
"Where there are imperial nobles, they are really poor and luxurious." After slumping into the comfortable sofa and pouring himself a glass of red wine, Jack casually asked, "How's the ship searching?" Did Edward's cunning guy clean up the little thing he left for us? ”
Pushing her glasses, Mary said with some confusion: "The search has encountered a little difficulty, when we conducted a basic scan of this transport ship, we found that it was actually made of a new type of stealth material, which has the function of anti-scanning, and several key structures are different from all known ships." ”
"Tell me more about it." Jack sat up and asked seriously.
"Judging from Andy's experience, these unknown structures have the function of deformation, and the specific deformed structure cannot be deduced for the time being, but it is certain that this is definitely not an ordinary transport ship!"
"In other words, we are in big trouble......" Jack was shocked in his heart, and said urgently: "Notify everyone, urgently and accurately scan the whole ship, and be sure to find out everything that is suspicious!" ”
"What do you mean, Captain?" Mary seemed to understand something, and asked in disbelief.
"Damn, Edward's cunning and vicious fellow may give us an ordinary transport, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over an unknown ship made of special materials! The fact that he walked so neatly shows that he is sure that even if the ship is in our hands, we will not be able to return to the Federation! ”
Slamming the sofa hard, Jack forcibly stood up calmly and said, "Send the scanning tool to our new friends, the more people at this time, the faster the efficiency!" ”
Mary frowned and said, "Captain, although your guess is very reasonable, it is not appropriate for my subordinates to give the scanning tools to those gladiators and allow them to move around the ship at will. ”
Tilting a look at his adjutant with a headache, Jack was speechless: "My dear Mary, can you use your brain?" Aren't you going to break up your new friends and blend them into our people? ”
At this point, Mary could only pull her hair in embarrassment and hurriedly turn around to make arrangements.
"Everyone, we suspect that there is a backhand left by the Empire on this transport ship, and this backhand is very likely to kill all of us in the sea of stars, so please help us to scan the ship together, and the operation method of the scanning tool is as follows......"
The soldier who distributed food to the slaves anxiously demonstrated the scanning tool, then left the task of the follow-up group to his comrades, and ran to scan it in a hurry.
Xiao Ye took the scanning tool with a confused face, and before he could ask anything, he was separated from his two brothers, and was dragged by a team of female soldiers to the air pressure bin at the rear of the ship, and began to scan in a similar way.
"Qingjiu, do you know what's going on?" Feeling that something was wrong, Xiao Ye glanced at the busy lady soldier and asked in a low voice.
After being silent for a while, Qing Jiu said calmly: "This seat has analyzed this transport ship, and if you take the warship that these federal soldiers are riding on as a performance reference, the maneuverability and defensive performance of this transport ship is 2-3 times that of a warship, as for the attack power, I don't know how to attack, and I don't bother to calculate." ”
“…… Let's not talk about the part you don't bother to count, these soldiers say that there seems to be some hidden dangers on the ship? Do you know what it is? Xiao Ye was accustomed to Qing Jiu's attitude, and asked in a different way.
"You know, it's a signal transmitter, and judging from the signal emitted, it's the courtship information of a large creature."
"Courtship information? What's that? Xiao Ye, who only knows how to pick up garbage for food and warm clothes, looked confused.
“…… This is a stupid question that I refuse to answer. Qing Jiu, who didn't know how to explain, was silent for a moment, but still decided to refuse to answer!
Scratching his hair, Xiao Ye changed his words and asked, "You always know where the signal transmitter is, right?" ”
"Stupid! Are you being blinded by this seemingly safe environment? Can't even detect such a strong sense of disobedience? Qing Jiu hated that iron could not become steel, and after reprimanding him, he ignored Xiao Ye's question, pretending that he was not there.
After whispering a few times without getting a response, Xiao Ye frowned resignedly and looked around the pressure chamber, being disturbed by the soldiers walking around, he could only speak tentatively.
"Excuse me, can you come over for a moment?" After showing a good-natured smile and stunning a few girls, Xiao Ye asked them to stand in the passage, turned off the scanner completely, and tried not to make a sound.
"But the captain told us to complete the ......scanning of the ship as soon as possible," the lady officer in charge said with a look of embarrassment.
"I know, but Lord Jack's request is to find foreign objects on the ship, which is what we cardless people do best, so please trust me for once."
Xiao Ye asked for the first time for the two elder brothers and someone other than Qingjiu, his handsome face was sincere, and his wolf eyes were slightly rounded because of nervousness, which made the female soldiers can't help but beat their hearts faster.
With a red face and hesitation, the lady nodded slightly: "Then we will give you fifteen minutes, if you can't check it out after fifteen minutes, we will have to continue scanning." ”
After grinning gratefully, Xiao Ye took a deep breath to adjust his state, held his breath and concentrated, his wolf eyes seemed to be staring at his prey, and his gaze swept faintly across every inch of the air pressure chamber.
Qing Jiu once said that every fixed environment is natural and harmonious, and things that appear extra or appear in a short period of time will definitely be incompatible with the overall environment, and what she has to do now is to find out the part that can't be integrated.
The instinct formed on the garbage star returned to her body again, and in a very short period of time, Xiao Ye's whole person was as harmonious and natural as if he had become a part of the pressure bin.
The lady was bored, raised her eyes and glanced at the pressure chamber, only to feel empty, and reacted for a moment before realizing why she didn't notice Xiao Ye's existence?!
The lady who missed a beat of her heart hurriedly looked at it again, and found that Xiao Ye was standing in the center of the pressure chamber, and she didn't have any intention of hiding her figure at all, but if it wasn't for the fact that her attention was completely focused on her, she wouldn't have noticed that there was someone there at all!
"Oh my God...... Are people without cards so terrible......" A chill ran in her back, and the lady officer couldn't help but take a step back slightly.
"Hey, I found it."
Xiao Ye, who just happened to find the abnormality, let out a brisk voice, and the mysterious feeling on his body gently exploded and disappeared like a bubble, making the lady official in a trance for a while, wondering if she was hallucinating?
"Did you find anything?" Shaking her head, the lady asked curiously.
"Well, come and see." Waving at them, Xiao Ye shook his fist at a seemingly normal metal wall, and smashed his delicate fist into it under the exclamation of the female soldiers.
The smashed metal wall sank slightly, and with a crisp "click", a pull-out lattice popped up, and a horn-type instrument was placed inside.
"Huh? This is...... Signal transmitter? The lady officer frowned and took out the signal transmitter, muttering to herself: "Is it used for positioning, so that the emperor ** team can chase us?" ”
"Sir, don't think about it, hand over the things first!" The other female soldier stomped her feet anxiously, eager to grab it.
"Oh, yes, yes, give it to the captain first!" The lady came back to her senses and hurriedly ran in the direction of Jack with the signal transmitter in her hand.
Xiao Ye, who was relaxed when he found something, suddenly remembered Qing Jiu's words, and immediately shouted: "This seems to be a courtship information transmitter for some kind of large creature, and it's not clear what kind of creature it is!" ”
The lady who was trotting stumbled and almost fell, and suddenly turned around and shouted in an octave of her voice: "Wooing information transmitter for large creatures?!" My God! Captain! Captain Jack is not good!! ”
In the middle of the call, the lady officer kicked her high heels to the side like crazy and ran barefoot, while the rest of the female soldiers chased after them with muttered prayers, and some simply sat on the ground with weak legs against the passage.
Even if Xiao Ye didn't have common sense, he knew how much impact what he said had on them, and he couldn't help but ask a little nervously: "That, why are you so excited?" ”
The weak-legged female soldier looked at Xiao Ye, who was confused, with idiot eyes, and said in a rather angry tone: "We are now in the void of the universe!" The only large creatures that can survive in the Void are the Star Sea Beasts, okay!! ”
Rubbing his slightly sore ears with his head sideways, Xiao Ye continued to ask cheekily, "What is the Star Sea Beast?" Isn't it amazing? ”
The female soldiers rolled their eyes in unison, they were not in the mood to popularize science for Xiao Ye, and they all helped each other to rush to the conference hall.
Xiao Ye, who was a little depressed, couldn't help but pout, she grew up in the garbage star since she was a child, and it was the first time to ride a spaceship, and she knew a fart star sea beast!
"If this seat is not mistaken, the Star Sea Alien Beast in their mouth should be a creature that moves in groups, with a huge size, and the size of the individual is not much different from that of a warship."
"It resembles a deep-sea jellyfish, but it has an extremely powerful digestive system that can devour all kinds of metals and organic matter. A strong physical force will inevitably bring a strong physical attack power, and the relative defense power is also very considerable. ”
"Well, in terms of biodiversity, this form of creature is only one branch of the species to which it belongs, and there should be other forms of Star Sea Beasts."
After forcibly popularizing science to the stunned Xiao Ye, Qing Jiu finally concluded: "This group of creatures is rapidly approaching the ship, and it will appear in your field of vision in about half an hour." ”
After trying to digest it, Xiao Ye touched his chin and said hesitantly: "You just said that the Star Sea Beast is about the same size as a warship, and it eats both metal and meat?" ”
"In other words, we, in half an hour, are going to be eaten?!"
