Chapter 461 Escaping the New Planet
Then he turned to look at Gu Qing and said, "Hurry up and get ready. I'm going to pilot the mecha in a bit. Hey, I'll take you on my own cloud and get on the mecha with me. Don't waste time getting surrounded by those guys."
After saying that, he grabbed Chen Xingheng by the collar, turned around and left.
Gu Qing had already packed up, so she quickly followed them out. As soon as she went out, she saw the various alarms set up by the God of Wealth, which kept blaring alarms.
Various small traps were continuously triggered.
When the God of Wealth saw him emerge, he waved his hand, and a golden mecha nearly five stories tall appeared before them. He grabbed Chen Xingheng and leaped up into it.
Gu Qing summoned Little Cloud No. 3 and followed him into the mecha. The piloting space inside the mecha was small, and it was a bit cramped for three people, but no one cared about that now.
As she entered the God of Wealth's mecha, the celestial cockroaches that had previously been organizing an attack seemed to be fatally attracted the moment the mecha was activated, and they swarmed towards her frantically.
Without further hesitation, Caishen activated all the mecha's boosters, propelling it into the sky. Gu Qing was held in Chen Xingheng's arms, but the inertia still made her feel uncomfortable.
Burying herself in his arms, she listened to the various announcements from the mecha's AI: "Activate four thrusters, proceeding into space. Pilot, please prepare. Detected celestial cockroaches following us as we break through space."
Using his mental link, the God of Wealth controlled the mecha to dodge what seemed like a suicidal attack, cursing as he charged into space, but the celestial cockroaches relentlessly pursued him.
They didn't seem to be going very fast normally, but the mech's four thrusters still couldn't shake them off.
"Where are you going?" Chen Xingheng's voice was still a little hoarse.
"Without a star map here, I roughly determined a direction based on my observations over the past few days. Let's head there and see."
The God of Wealth didn't look back as he continued to control the mecha, dodging left and right to avoid the meteorites and the pursuit of the annoying celestial cockroaches.
"Xingheng, how are you?" Gu Qing knew he had recovered from his fluent speech.
"My physical injuries have almost healed, but I can't use my mental energy yet," Chen Xingheng said, patting her back reassuringly.
"I'm applying to be your deputy and lead the way for you." Chen Xingheng's explanation was both for Gu Qing and for the God of Wealth.
Upon hearing his words, the God of Wealth glanced back at him, then nodded and granted him access. He performed fingerprint and iris scans, and then began to help analyze and navigate.
The celestial cockroaches could fly briefly in space, but only for a short time, and were quickly left behind. However, the mechs did not slow down.
However, mechs are not spaceships. Soaring in space is both energy-consuming and manpower-intensive. The two analyzed their surroundings, trying to find the nearest planet inhabited by humans.
The starry sky was heavily polluted, and the long-term mental connection with the mecha was also very taxing. Moreover, the mecha consumed a lot of energy. After they had been traveling for 132 hours...
The two decided on a direction, so the three of them discussed and decided to enter the little cloud and then tear through space to get there. The mecha would serve as a resting place for the little cloud when it rested.
The God of Wealth felt that if he opened the mecha and went there, he might have a mental breakdown before he even got there.
Moreover, Gu Qing cannot wander in space for too long, so this is the fastest solution.
The three entered the cloud space, shielding others from the storage space's perception. Gu Qing then directly instructed the little cloud to tear the space apart.
For spatial jumps, the little cloud can only determine the approximate direction and distance; the exact location cannot be determined unless the distance is extremely close.
Even so, it was enough to surprise the two of them. However, this meant that he could only purify Chen Xingheng twice a day, and he had to give up on the God of Wealth.
The small cloud needs energy to jump through space, and the recovery of this energy is much slower than purification. Now that we are in outer space, the timeline is even longer.
To appease the God of Wealth, Gu Qing, she generously offered empty promises.
After four days of daily space-tearing jumps, they finally spotted a habitable planet. However, the problem was that this planet was clearly under the control of the Empire.
After all, you can tell from the architectural style of the space station.
"Let's go in first. At the very least, we need to determine our location. We'll need a smart brain to figure out how to get back or contact someone."
The God of Wealth offered his advice directly, and Chen Xingheng thought about it and nodded. "However, how do we get inside the planet? How do we conceal the physical characteristics of the three of us? We need to think about these things carefully."
