Chapter 307 Traitor?

"It's just a small third-level civilization..."

In front of the 001 colony ship, Naji looked at the gradually opening hatch of the colony ship, listened to the hoarse and dull exclamations coming from the hatch, and couldn't help but reveal a bit of contempt in his eyes.

"If it weren't for the huge gap in labor and raw materials in [Turbine], these low-level creatures would not be qualified to see our civilization."

This is the truth.

As an individual of the seventh-level civilization, Naji is indeed qualified to express contempt for the Swamp Abyss civilization.

The gap between the third-level civilization and the seventh-level civilization is too huge, and the gap between the two sides is even much higher than the gap between humans and ants!

For a seventh-level civilization, the third-level civilization is just a bug that can be easily wiped out!

Next to Naji, the extremely tall Yaqi stared at the gradually opening hatch expressionlessly.

According to common sense, as the main person in charge of the [Turbine] port, Yaqi does not need to come forward for such a trivial matter.

In the past few decades, the [Turbine] port has received highly intelligent individuals from different civilizations in the Bray galaxy almost every day.

But as time goes by, the number of individuals in the civilization of the Breeze galaxy gradually declines, and the "flow" of the [Turbine] port is getting less and less.

Especially now, the number of highly intelligent creatures in [Turbine] has dropped to the warning value!

If this continues, not to mention the normal construction of [Turbine], even the production of star sand will be greatly affected!

The tens of millions of highly intelligent creatures of the Swamp Abyss civilization can undoubtedly greatly alleviate the embarrassing situation of [Turbine] - whether it is the construction plan or the production of star sand.

At this crucial juncture, the LT49373 fleet transporting the Swamp Abyss colony ship encountered such a strange situation again!

As the person in charge, Yaqi could only bring everyone in the port control room to the [Turbine] inner port to personally examine this transport fleet that can be called "timely rain".

"Out, something went wrong!!"

A Breeze man who was responsible for inspecting the colony ship ran out of the 002 colony ship in a panic.

The Breeze man kept flapping his two pairs of wings on his side, which were almost degraded and only had aesthetic functions, trying to speed up his running.

He hurriedly ran towards Yaqi, Naji and others, shouting: "People, people are gone!!"

"What did you say?!"

Naji took the lead and took the inspector's left wing, and shouted: "What people are gone? Explain clearly!!"

The minelayer in charge of the inspection trembled violently, and some of the dry lavender feathers on his body stood up slightly.

Facing Naji's questioning, his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness: "The Swamp Civilization, the Swamp People disappeared..."

"How could the Swamp People disappear?"

Now, let alone Naji, even Yaqi, who had remained silent, couldn't help but ask.

She stared at the inspector in front of her expressionlessly: "There are no Swamp People in the colony ship, what are there?"

"Only... only some meat balls that simulate heartbeats and body temperatures."

The inspector gave the answer with difficulty.

At the same time.

Boom.

The continuous roar of the hatch opening stopped abruptly, and the tremor on the deck also stopped.

The hatch of the 001 colony ship has been fully opened, and the scene inside the colony ship has also appeared in front of the minelayers.

In the huge colony ship, the figures of more than 9,000 swamp salamanders appear particularly thin.

As for the other colony ships...

the hatch that opened suddenly was empty, and there were only hibernation chambers that were still running silently! !

"Damn it!"

Naji's face suddenly became ugly. He threw away the inspectors beside him and ran towards the 001 colony ship in front of him: "Captain Yaqi, I will check it myself!"

Yaqi did not speak, but silently stepped forward with his slender legs and followed behind Naji.

...

More than ten minutes later.

"Are there any results from the comprehensive inspection?"

Yaqi sat on a chair in the 001 colony ship, looking at Naji in front of him with a cold face: "What's going on?"

Naji's sharp beak trembled violently.

The minelaying civilization is a feudal imperial civilization.

After countless years of development, with the improvement of civilization level and the expansion of civilization territory, the royal family's jurisdiction over the members of the civilization has gradually decreased.

But this does not mean that the power held by the royal family has been reduced.

Naji knew very well that the royal family member in front of him had the power to directly order his execution!

Facing Yaqi's condescending scrutiny, Naji's original anger quickly turned into fear and panic.

"A, Lord Yaqi..."

Naji's sharp voice was trembling a little: "We have searched the entire fleet and have only found 9,746 Swamp People so far."

"Except for the colony ship No. 001, the hibernation chambers of other colony ships are empty."

Seeing Yaqi's face getting colder, Naji hurriedly screamed: "This, this should be a problem with the free trade market!"

"Their security inspection procedures did not find any problems with these hibernation chambers!!"

I don't know if it was an illusion or a psychological effect. Naji felt that after he said this, the coldness on Yaqi's face seemed to increase again.

But...

it was not directed at him.

Under the gaze of Naji and the other Bree people, Yaqi stood up from his chair and walked in front of the more than 9,000 Swamp People with his thin legs covered with layers of wrinkles and deformed tumors.

Tap, tap, tap...

The special joint structure of the feet and the hard nails tapped on the deck, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

In the silent colonial ship, this unhurried tapping sound undoubtedly made the atmosphere more solemn.

Suddenly.

The tapping sound stopped.

Amber, who was the deputy of Captain Olaya and stood in front of the Swamp People, suddenly saw a pair of rather ugly "bird legs" in his eyes.

He slightly widened his eyes, and a translucent hard eye mask suddenly formed, covering the black vertical pupil that was almost shrunk into a straight line!

Yaqi narrowed his slender eyes slightly, looking down at Amber condescendingly: "Swamp People, answer me, what's going on?"

This was a direct inquiry from an individual of a higher civilization.

Thinking of the other party's identity, Amber immediately felt a layer of slippery mucus seeping out of his body.

"I..."

Amber was about to answer, but was interrupted by Yaqi: "Think it over, believe me, the Bray civilization has enough means to verify every word you say."

"..."

Amber was silent for a moment, and the scene of Chen Fan talking to him flashed through his mind.

...

"Don't worry." Chen Fan smiled, "I will ensure their safety within my ability."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Amber couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know what Chen Fan was going to do, Amber felt relieved when he thought of the ability Chen Fan had shown in front of the Swamp Self-Defense Fleet.

It seemed that

the person in front of him had the ability to settle everything.

Chen Fan's smile gradually faded, and his expression became solemn: "But there is one thing I have to remind you."

Amber straightened his face and said respectfully: "You say."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the people of the mine will definitely investigate the reason behind this matter." Chen Fan pointed to the hibernation cabin beside him, "You have the highest qualifications in all the archives of the colony ship, so the people of the mine are likely to choose to ask you."

"Then..."

"I hope you don't let Baroka and Olaya's efforts go to waste."

Amber's heart trembled, and he had already understood the meaning behind Chen Fan's words.

...

Inside the 001 colony ship.

"Answer me."

A sharp voice without any emotion sounded in front of him, and the picture in Amber's memory quickly dissipated.

He pursed his lips hard, and glanced at Chen Fan and the other two who were mixed in the crowd of the Swamp behind him.

Although their height was slightly abnormal, they were wearing a swamp life-support device disguised as a mechanical exoskeleton armor, which did not arouse too much suspicion from the minelayers.

"It was... Captain Olaya and Councillor Baroka's personal plan."

When saying this, Amber felt a blur in front of his eyes and his voice became particularly hoarse.

This was a naked act of betrayal!

As expected.

As soon as the voice fell, a low and angry curse came from behind him.

These Swamp people did not know the plan of Olaya and Baroka, so naturally they did not know why Amber did so.

"Damn it!"

"Traitor! Traitor of the Swamp Civilization!!"

"How could Captain Olaya have a deputy like you?!!"

"..."

Hearing the curses from behind, Amber's body trembled slightly, and the vertical pupils covered by the hard eye mask completely shrank into a straight line!

"Quiet!" Before Yaqi could speak, Naji on the side had already issued a sharp and high-pitched scolding.

At the same time, the minelayers waiting on the side raised their individual weapons and aimed the launch ports of their weapons at the Swamp People in front of them.

A faint green light flashed in the black launch port.

This is the color of high-energy laser weapons!

For carbon-based creatures, ultra-high temperature laser beams and bullets with powerful kinetic energy are always the most effective and portable killing weapons.

Under the threat of death, the 001 colony ship returned to silence again, and the Swamp People who were originally angry and cursed stopped their actions.

"Who are Captain Olaya and Councillor Baroka?"

Yaqi asked calmly.

"They are loyal opponents of the labor trade plan." Perhaps because of overcoming psychological barriers, Amber's words quickly became fluent.

"You should be aware of the importance of young and middle-aged labor to a civilization."

Seeing Yaqi nod, Amber continued: "The Swamp Civilization has entered an aging society, and the young and middle-aged population is scarce. For the normal development of civilization, naturally there are a considerable number of opponents."

"The Swamp Council overcame numerous obstacles and finally successfully implemented this transaction plan."

"But..."

Amber's face showed a bit of regret: "The Swamp Council was negligent for a moment and did not discover the true identities of Captain Olaya and Councillor Baroka."

"This also gave the two people the opportunity to take action."

"After leaving the Swamp Star System, the two launched a rebellion, replaced the young and middle-aged people of the Swamp with long-prepared prostheses, and sent all the young and middle-aged people into the colonial ships."
