Ye Ling looked at Planck, who was tied up like a dumpling, but she didn't feel relieved at all.
Killing one Gangplank does not mean killing all the pirates. It is just like cutting off the head of a hydra.
There was an eerie calm in the air, like the calm before the storm, making it hard to breathe.
The atmosphere inside the transport ship was also extremely solemn. Everyone's nerves were on edge, as if they were a fully drawn bowstring that could break at any time.
"What should we do now? Hand him over to the Interstellar Patrol?" Ziggs rubbed his fat hands, his voice trembling.
He is timid and just wants to keep things quiet and get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
"No!" Wayne refused without thinking, "This will make other pirates think we are easy to bully, and there will be more trouble in the future!" She gripped the energy gun tightly, her eyes sharp, ready to fight at any time.
The two argued and the atmosphere was tense.
Ye Ling rubbed his temples and felt overwhelmed.
These two people, one is as timid as a mouse, the other is impulsive and reckless, they are a perfect match!
"Stop arguing for now," Ye Ling interrupted their argument, "Where's Planck's communicator? I want to see if I can find some useful information."
Camille snorted coldly and threw Gangplank's communicator to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling operated skillfully with a frown on her face.
The communicator was blank, obviously it had been cleared.
"Tsk, old fox." Ye Ling cursed in a low voice.
Suddenly, the transport ship shook violently and the alarm sounded shrilly.
Ye Ling's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"What's going on?" Giggs was so scared that his face turned pale and his voice changed.
"Report! A large number of UFOs have been detected approaching!" A crew member ran in panic to report.
"It's pirates! They're here to rescue Gangplank!" Vayne said gritting her teeth, with rage burning in her eyes.
Ye Ling took a deep breath, her eyes becoming fierce. "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
At this moment, Camille suddenly walked up to Ye Ling and said in a deep voice: "Ye Ling, protect Duan Yu, and leave the rest to us."
Ye Ling glanced at her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Don't bother with that. I can protect my man myself."
She walked to Duan Yu and held his hand tightly.
Duan Yu held her hand with his backhand, his eyes firm and gentle.
The transport ship shook violently again, and the lights flickered.
Ye Ling felt Duan Yu's hand tighten slightly.
"Here it comes..." Ye Ling whispered. The transport ship's defense system seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, failing at the critical moment. The alarm sounded as if one's parents had died, and the flashing red lights hurt people's eyes.
Ye Ling felt her temples throbbing. These pirates came more punctually than her period. They were simply haunting her!
With a loud "boom", the transport ship shook violently, as if it had been kicked hard by someone.
Giggs was so scared that he ran away with his head in his hands, muttering "My old swan", looking like a frightened groundhog.
Wayne was rubbing his hands in anticipation, eager to try, and wished he could rush out and fight the pirates for three hundred rounds.
Ye Ling grabbed her and said, "Wait!" She turned to look at Ike and said firmly, "Ike, go negotiate with them and buy time!"
The air froze instantly, and everyone seemed to have pressed the pause button. They all looked at Ye Ling, their eyes full of question marks.
Let a theorist negotiate with a group of desperadoes?
This operation is even more outrageous than asking a dog to embroider!
Camille was furious. "Ye Ling, are you crazy? Let this nerd go to die?"
Ye Ling ignored her doubts and just patted Ike's shoulder, "I believe you, go ahead, Pikachu!"
Ike was completely bewildered. As an archaeologist, he had never quarreled with anyone in his life. Asking him to negotiate with pirates was even harder than asking him to dismantle a mecha with his bare hands!
But when he saw Ye Ling's determined eyes, somehow, an inexplicable courage surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and walked towards the communications room with a fearless attitude, like a warrior rushing to the execution ground.
While Ike was stalling for time, Ye Ling quickly glanced at the cabin, her mind racing.
Although the transport ship's defense system is poor, there are still some other usable resources on board. Coupled with Vayne's combat effectiveness, it may not be without the ability to fight.
She walked to Wayne and whispered, "Wayne, wait a minute..." She paused, a sly smile on her lips, "Just like that..."
Ye Ling's mouth corners curled up slightly, and she quickly assigned tasks like an experienced commander.
"Vayne, you and your men guard the front cabin, open fire at full power, and blow them into ashes for me!" Vayne whistled excitedly and picked up the energy cannon. She looked like a Husky ready to destroy the house.
"Giggs, take your precious baby and hide well, don't come out and cause trouble, okay?" Ye Ling glanced at the trembling Giggs and said bluntly.
Giggs nodded repeatedly, hid in a corner with his precious artifact, and wished he could bury himself.
Inside the transport ship, the sounds of alarms, gunfire, and pirates' roars intertwined together, creating a grand symphony.
But Ye Ling's command was orderly. She used the existing resources in the transport ship to pile up some large cargoes as cover, and asked Wayne to lead people to set up energy traps in key locations. The pirates who rushed in were instantly knocked dizzy and howled.
"Boom——" With a loud bang, a pirate aircraft was blown into pieces by Vayne's cannon and exploded into a ball of brilliant fireworks in the air.
Inside the transport ship, everyone burst into cheers, and the tense atmosphere was instantly dispersed.
"Ye Ling, you are so awesome!" Wayne excitedly gave Ye Ling a thumbs up.
Ye Ling felt the excitement in her heart, like an electric current, filling her whole body with strength.
She turned to look at Duan Yu and found that although he was slightly injured, his eyes were still firm.
Duan Yu nodded at her with a gentle smile on his face.
He knew very well that what Ye Ling needed was not only protection, but also support and trust.
"Their next wave of attacks will definitely be more violent, we can't take it lightly." Duan Yu warned in a deep voice.
Ye Ling felt warm in her heart. With such a man by her side, she felt as if she had unlimited energy.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Ike suddenly ran out of the communications room, his face pale and his eyes filled with fear. "Ye Ling, the code... there's a new inconsistency in the code! Those clues seem... seem to be pointing in another direction!"
Ye Ling frowned, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
She walked over to Ike, took the information from his hand, and looked at the complicated data. Her heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock.
"how so……"
