Chapter 9: Escape from the Cage

Luo Xingyu's cell is much wider than the original room on the ship, the cell door is grid-shaped, the outside can see the inside, and the inside can also see the outside, which is clear at a glance, so that the guards can see the situation in the prison room at a glance.

Outside the door was a wide corridor, and on the opposite side of the corridor was another cell, Luo Xingyu found that there was also a prisoner on the other side, it was an alien from another planet, he had green skin, a pointed head, a pointed long sarcoma hanging down his chin, a rickety body, and an old face, he should be an old man. From time to time, he was brought out by the smugglers, but in the evening (there was no morning or evening on the ship, only the morning and evening could only be judged by the time of lights out and meals), and he seemed to be helping the smugglers with any work. He has a high degree of freedom, sometimes the smugglers will let him out and move freely at one end of the corridor, and sometimes the smugglers will treat him quite badly and even beat him.

It was not a snake-headed man who brought food to Luo Xingyu every day, but another alien, a tall, black-skinned, large-bodied alien with a square face, a flat nose and thick lips, no eyebrows above his eyes, but two things like small hand meat rolls, which looked very peculiar. Judging by his appearance, he should not be an ally of the smugglers, but may be a captive of the smugglers and used as a slave, because the smugglers have a very rough attitude towards him.

Perhaps he could learn about the ship and find a chance to escape, but they didn't speak the same language, and the black jailer (as he was called for the time being) couldn't stay too long, so he brought food and left, so there was no chance to communicate at all.

Luo Xingyu knew that he was safe before the smugglers found out that he was lying, but if the smugglers' reconnaissance team arrived at Yinxin and found out that he was lying to them, then he would be miserable. He must save himself during this time, but how can he save himself, he can't even get out of the cell, even if he gets out of the cage, he still has to leave the spaceship and fly to a safe place, but he doesn't even know where the spaceship is.

He looked closely at the jailer and noticed that there was also grief and dissatisfaction in his eyes. Luo Xingyu sometimes secretly held his hand when he brought food, and the prison servant did not let go, this meaning was obvious, although they could not communicate, they were on the same front, and they had a common situation and interests. In this way, they made eye contact, expressing their sympathy, pain, and helplessness to each other, but their communication was limited to that, they could not talk to each other, and they could not stay too long, and this kind of communication did not work at all.

As the days passed, Luo Xingyu was so anxious that if he couldn't think of a way to escape, he would definitely die, but the cell was an all-metal structure, and there were guards outside the corridor, and the snake-headed people no longer came to ask him for questioning, and it was almost impossible to escape.

About ten days later, one day at dinner time, Luo Xingyu saw the snake-headed guards outside the door dressed in different costumes from usual, and walked in front of the corridor one after another. Luo Xingyu lay in front of the gate and looked outside, feeling that there was no one around, and it seemed that the guards had walked away. He didn't know what day it was, why the guards were all leaving, and he didn't feel anything unusual when the black skin brought the food.

About an hour after dinner, the lights in the cell and corridor suddenly went out early, which is not the usual time to turn off the lights. Luo Xingyu was suspicious, and a black shadow appeared in front of the door, it was the black-skinned servant. He opened the cell door for a long time and waved his hand to Luo Xingyu, this gesture needless to say, anyone will understand, Luo Xingyu hurriedly walked out of the cell with him. The black alien opened the cell opposite and rescued the elderly alien, the jailer in front and the two behind, and the three of them crept towards the end of the corridor.

At the end of the hallway, another turn was turned, and the black alien opened the floor in one place, revealing a pipe that could hold one person underneath. They quickly drilled into the pipe, closed the cover, and crawled forward.

After climbing about seven or eight hundred meters, the black aliens opened another cover, and they got out and came to another corridor. The black alien opened a hatch on the side of the hallway, revealing a large hangar behind the door, and a line of warplanes and ships lined up on the deck.

The dark-skinned alien led them to a large, flat ship, slipped into the ship from the landing gear, and came to the ship's control room. But at this time, they still didn't understand each other's language, and they didn't know what to do when they got to the ship. The black alien left them and went to the ship's room to search for a while, and after a while, he retrieved a language converter, and they exchanged languages, and immediately introduced each other: the black alien's name was Tamar, a Taruba, and the elderly alien's name was Nazaria, a Nahimite, and after they reported their names, they immediately began to discuss how to escape from the mothership.

Tama asked Luo Xingyu if he could operate the big ship, Luo Xingyu said that he only knew a little bit, he could read the star map and parameters, but he didn't understand the words of the snakehead, Tama said that he could write and operate a little bit, so he could only operate while groping, and the old man Nasarea was a medical scientist and didn't know much about the operation of ships.

They decided to leave the ship out of the mothership first. Tama pressed in the hangar's control room for a moment, and the triple hatch of the ship's wall slowly opened one after another, revealing a large dark hole. He quickly ran back to the ship, used the pre-stolen authorization card to open the ship's control system, activated the ship, and flew out of the mothership.

They had just flown out of the hangar when they noticed that the lights in the hangar on the mothership were on, and the lights in the other cabins were also on, and it wasn't long before several warplanes and battleships flew out.

Luo Xingyu and Tama were busy operating, not knowing how to speed up the big ship, the fighters behind had already caught up and fired at them, fortunately, this was a big ship, which could withstand a small firepower, but several warships had already caught up.

The situation was urgent, Luo Xingyu asked Tama to adjust a parameter to the highest in a panic, but the result was crooked, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and the big ship flew away in space at a speed faster than light, and the pursuers were already left behind before they had time to accelerate.

They didn't know where they were, and they didn't know how to call up the ship's star map, so they could only fly and fumble.

The spaceship flew aimlessly in the vast expanse of space.

There were no pursuers chasing after them, and they were safe for the time being, so they put the big ship into automatic mode and began to ask each other for details.

As mentioned earlier, the black alien named Tamar is a Tarutu star, and their planet is a primitive and uncivilized planet, and after being conquered by the smugglers, they were treated as slaves. Tama first worked as a servant in the maintenance room of the Smugglers, but later the Smugglers found out that he was secretly learning how to operate a spaceship, so they transferred him to work as a prison servant.

And Nasarea is a civilized planet, and their civilization is also extremely developed, and they have transformed their lifespan, which can already reach five hundred years old, and Nasarea is now more than four hundred years old. Because they are too civilized, people are greedy for enjoyment, unwilling to learn, and all the work is handed over to intelligent robots to do, they are dazed, drunk, and do not want to make progress, so that when the snakeheads come to attack, they simply do not have enough force to resist.

Their planet was quickly conquered, and Nasarea, a medical scientist who knew how to prolong his life, took him and other top medical scientists and forced them to serve in the service of prolonging the life of the smugglers. The other medical scientists all died under the coercion and torture of the snakeheads, only Nazareh was still alive, and he had been using deception to deal with the snakeheads, which was why Luo Xingyu sometimes saw the snakeheads being polite to him and sometimes abusing him.

Tamar and Nazareth also don't know anything about the origin of the snakeheads, but Nazarea knows that the lifespan of the snakeheads is very short, not more than fifty years old, their genes are very strange, the youth period is very long, the aging period is very short, and once the youth period is over, they will die soon, which is why the snakeheads are so eager to prolong their life.

Luo Xingyu also told them about his situation and origin. Nazarea saw Luo Xingyu's appearance, and he said that he vaguely remembered that in their historical archives there were records of aliens who were very similar to Luo Xingyu's appearance visiting their planet, Luo Xingyu's heart lit up after hearing this, and he quickly asked him for details.

It turns out that thousands of years ago, there was an alien spaceship that landed on their planet, they are not physical creatures, their spirit resides in a bionic robot and the main brain, they can migrate between the main brain and the anti-life robot, they can already live forever, the appearance of the bionic robot is very similar to the image of Luo Xingyu.

They claim to be from a planet named Munstan in the Silver Heart, whose planet was destroyed by a rebellion, and they wander the stars in search of another planet suitable for life. They visited the planet Nahim for a short time and then began to continue their interstellar voyage, because they did not stay, and did not leave much information, so the information is very limited, only a little graphic and written record in the historical archives of the planet Nahim, because after thousands of years, they have been forgotten by the Nahimite.

After hearing this, Luo Xingyu was very puzzled, why are these Munstein people so similar in appearance to earthlings, and what is the connection between them and earthlings? Why did the smugglers ask the ancestors of the earthlings? Also, why are the snakeheads so interested when they hear that the earth is in the silver heart? Because of the limited knowledge available, it is not possible to answer these questions, so I have to leave them alone.

There was food inside the ship, and although it was unpalatable, it was nutritious and life-sustaining. They don't know how to teleport, they don't know how to call up the ship's positioning and star map, and they don't know how to scan for planets suitable for life in the stars.

After more than a month of sailing, Nazaria's health deteriorated day by day, and he died soon after he was abused and injured by the smugglers, coupled with the fact that he did not eat well on the ship and had no medical treatment.

Luo Xingyu and Tamar threw Nazaria's body into space, buried it empty, and then continued to sail through the stars.
