Chapter 5 Successful Escape
"Damn it! It's a suppression ring!" Zoren, a reddish-brown man sitting in front of the chestnut tree, growled.
The woman beside him suddenly hugged him and cried, "Waaah! We went through so much trouble to get to Silverwing Star, isn't this just like walking into a trap?"
"What is a suppression ring?" Mao Li blurted out, no longer caring about hiding his ignorance after being away for hundreds of years.
A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he said, "The suppression ring is an evil technological product that came out fifty years ago."
Once put on, it can't be taken off; it's used to control the purchased slaves.
“Slaves? Didn’t the Flowing Light Galaxy abolish slavery five thousand years ago?” Mao Li exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems you must be from some remote planet, completely unaware of the current state of the Flowing Light Galaxy."
From the moment the suppression ring was produced, the slave trade gradually flourished.
Once the suppression ring is put on, even S-class ability users can only obey. Unless you are a psychic master of SS-class or higher, no one can undo it.
Because an explosion could occur if there is the slightest carelessness during the dismantling process.
With the control of the suppression ring, slaves naturally dare not rebel, otherwise they would only face death.
And we, these people, are essentially slaves who have willingly offered ourselves up. This must be tacitly approved by the Silverwing Star authorities. No wonder the aliens who entered Silverwing Star before didn't leave; they all became their slaves.
Zhuolun looked ashen, but he still patiently explained to him because he sensed that Mao Li meant them no harm.
He wanted to create a good connection for his pregnant wife Anya, hoping to receive help from them in the future.
Anya was sobbing uncontrollably: "We've become slaves, and our child will definitely be a slave too. Our lives are completely over, sob sob sob!"
"What if we run away now?" Mao Li asked.
“It’s no use. The controller for the suppression ring couldn’t possibly be on this aircraft carrier. Once they escape, they can activate the detonation device at any time.” Zhuolun shook his head.
Just then, Ah Chen, who had gone to the restroom to use the toilet, returned.
Of all the passengers on the entire spaceship, only Zuo Shan, Xiao Bao, and A Chen survived and were not fitted with the suppression rings.
Zuo Shan, with her head resting in Xiao Bai's arms, avoided the metal buckle protruding from behind the seat.
Since she fell into a coma, Xiao Bao has shrunk his body size and habitually snuggled up to her bedside.
Once inside the aircraft carrier, she lay down under her seat, her metal clasp undone.
Because Zuo Shan is in a vegetative state, Xiao Bao is her pet, and A Chen is a child who always carries the Floating Cloud Pearl, and their superpower level appears to be only at the second level, all three of them were judged by the robot to be incapable of resisting.
The whole family is under a suppression ring. What can a seven-year-old child with low-level superpowers and his beast pet do besides obediently being enslaved?
From the moment the metal ring was fastened around their necks, Xiaobai and Boyiyan tried to activate their superpowers, only to find that they were completely unusable.
The two of them completely believed Zhuolun's words and couldn't help but look at each other with bitter smiles. Despite their best efforts, they still couldn't guard against such a despicable and insidious scheme.
From the moment their spaceship entered the atmosphere of Silverwing Star, they had become meat on someone else's chopping board.
They deliberately used repeated formal quarantines to lull everyone into a false sense of security, making them believe that this was an official and legitimate institution.
Then, using the excuse that the aircraft carrier needed to be quarantined to prevent potential viruses, they made them pack up their own escape equipment.
They boarded the public transportation they provided, and then, under the guise of a strong troposphere, deliberately made the ship rock and turbulent, so that everyone would obediently sit in the seats where traps had been set in advance.
How could these weary travelers who had traveled countless light-years to seek refuge possibly escape such a meticulously calculated scheme?
Xiao Bai beckoned his son to his side, briefly explained their current predicament, and then said with a solemn expression:
"Chen, I'm entrusting my mother to you! Now, try using your mental power to pierce through and see if you can open the hatch."
If all else fails, when they open the hatch upon reaching our destination, have the fathead fish carry you, your mother, and the baby away.
"If we escape, what will you do?" Ah Chen was so anxious he was almost crying.
“Listen, once we’re sold into slavery, your mother will definitely be abandoned by them because of her condition. You are her only chance to survive.” Xiaobai looked at him sternly.
“Okay, I’ll try it now.” Ah Chen nodded hurriedly. He didn’t dare to try to unlock the suppression ring, worried that if he triggered a hidden device, it would endanger his family’s lives.
"Now Mom is counting on me, I need to calm down, calm down!" Achen kept telling himself.
He finally calmed down, then walked over to Mao Li as if nothing had happened, winked at him, and climbed onto his lap.
"Mao Li, tell me a story!" he said in a coquettish tone, while his little hand wrote words in Mao Li's palm, asking him to tell him how to avoid the control room and force open the hatch.
Mao Li smiled and told him a fairy tale, then wrote on his palm a simple method for forcibly breaking open the hatch.
Achen returned to his seat, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but in reality, he carefully extended his mental energy.
He then discovered that there were at least ten robots guarding the main control room on the aircraft carrier, all armed and ready to deal with any emergencies.
Even if he could sabotage their lines, it wouldn't make a difference, so he didn't intend to touch them.
He used his mental power to sever the control room's control over the hatch, and then manipulated the lighting controls.
The cabin was plunged into darkness. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he made the fathead fish grow to the size of a Tibetan mastiff and carried his mother to the cabin door.
He himself carried the baby and rushed towards the cabin door.
The moment the hatch was opened, the fathead fish transformed into a giant fish over three meters long and burst out of the hatch. Ah Chen, holding Xiao Bao, leaped up and jumped onto the fathead fish's broad back.
The fathead fish flapped its fins, which transformed into a pair of large, transparent wings, carrying the two people and the beast as they flew into the distance.
Inside the cabin, after the robot restored the lighting, it immediately took a headcount and found that a seven-year-old child, a woman in a vegetative state, and a pet animal were missing.
The robot immediately reported to the ground manager, who said indifferently, "They're all worthless goods, so let them go. The buyer of this batch of goods is Qingshan Mining, and they're buying young and strong laborers."
