"Captain, Captain, are we going to die too?"

George calling Xiang Wan "Captain" pleased her, but his question seemed to dampen everyone's spirits.

Rose and the others snapped out of their daze and lost their curiosity about those things. The light in Takagi's eyes also dimmed.

Yes, if you can't survive, everything else is out of the question.

“Hey George, isn’t this kid leading us to safety? Don’t say such discouraging things, it sounds really despairing.”

Letting people answer first also livened up the atmosphere.

Xiang Wan, however, did not intend to let them take any chances, because the road ahead would be even more difficult.

"People will always die."

"At least we are still alive now, and we will try our best to live on in the future."

Song Yang ended this unpleasant conversation with a single sentence.

What's the point of discussing these things now?

Only by surviving can we have the right to continue this discussion.

Pull the lever towards evening to begin accelerating.

Further down are maps and annotations of various star systems. All sorts of introductions and explanations are very detailed. But after looking at many, you'll notice that almost all the annotations for the planets end with a possible travel guide.

The next level down contains all kinds of weapons: biological, laser, microbial, quantum, spatial, and biochemical—if you can imagine it, they can make it.

Some were excited and kept urging Xiang Wan to get some weapons for the ship.

Xiang Wan had the same idea, but she didn't expect him to get his wish so easily.

"Now, it's time for you to honor your bet."

A bet?

Rang's face turned bright red. He never expected that Xiang Wan would choose this moment, when he was itching to do something, to force him to fulfill the words he had casually mentioned earlier.

With the weapons section almost open, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Yes, Captain!"

Xiang Wan smirked, slowed down the ship, and gradually approached the giant wall with its weapons suspended on it.

Xiang Wan didn't want to take any of those inhumane weapons, but she allowed Rangrang to take some laser and quantum weapons, as well as some shells that could fold space.

The ships were almost overflowing, yet they still weren't quite done.

"Go down, and load the weapons you requested onto the ship."

Xiang Wan showed no mercy, forcing him to reluctantly close the hatch.

They were less than 1,500 meters from the core of the base.

Now it's time to get down to business.
