"Smack!"
Just as Lu Xiaoyao and her group were locked in fierce combat, the lights in the slave quarters suddenly flickered.
"What happened?"
The space pirate glanced at the somewhat disheveled but fiercely fighting rebels before him and instinctively assumed that someone had damaged the energy system here.
"Oops!"
Meanwhile, the space pirates in the control room immediately noticed something was wrong: all the surveillance cameras were malfunctioning!
And just as they realized this, all the doors of that slave quarters were opened again!
"Someone's coming to rescue us!"
The moment he saw the door open, Guderian's eyes suddenly lit up. Sure enough, the flashing lights in the room were a signal, not his imagination!
"Quickly! Go out and provide support!"
Guderian wasn't a highly skilled frontline combatant, but his keen senses had already detected that some of the people imprisoned here had special identities!
He grabbed a nearby player who also seemed to have a special status and shouted, "You guys get out of here! There's a fight outside!"
How did you know?
The sudden opening of the door made some players secretly wary, and for a moment few people moved. Some even suspected that it was a trap.
"Are you all stupid? The signal from the lights just now clearly meant that our people had found the control system and were helping us. The message they sent was for you guys to get out and help!"
Guderian finished speaking in one breath, and then gasped.
"Did you understand? Do you understand mechs or do I?"
Guderian did make a brief appearance when everyone was abandoned and left to fend for themselves.
Many players know that he repairs mechs and starships, so it's not surprising that he knows more about starships than most people do.
Moreover, thinking about the flashing lights just now, it does seem to be conveying some kind of message.
Upon hearing this, they immediately turned and led a group of NPCs out without looking back.
The remaining ordinary NPCs didn't even realize what was happening.
"Then...then shall we go too?"
Some player NPCs were a little confused as they watched the group of people rushing towards them.
What are we going out for?
"Given the current situation, we shouldn't act rashly," Guderian advised, looking at the group of ordinary NPCs. "Our country has long seen through the malicious intentions of these aliens, but we were forced to take this risk because we were simply outmatched in strength. All we can do now is preserve ourselves; we probably can't escape right now."
After Guderian finished speaking, an ordinary NPC couldn't help but worry and said, "What if we fail? Will they take their anger out on us? No, I mean, will they take their anger out on the planet? My wife and children are still there!"
"What the heck? You have a wife and kids, why are you even signing up?"
A young man who looked like a single guy glanced incredulously at the young man next to him who didn't seem much older than him. The other man gave a bitter smile: "Isn't it because I have a heavy burden at home? My wife gave birth to quadruplets last year."
"Wow, bro, you're amazing! Four of them at once!"
His words made even Guderian take a few more glances. Most children in interstellar space have only one child, and at most two or three, which is already considered incredibly rare.
These quadruplets!
She gave birth to four at once!
"Are all the genes on Ancient Blue Star like this? =.=?" Guderian even considered whether it was possible for him to find a partner from Blue Star in the future.
"However, I've heard that girls on Hualan Star are hard to woo..." Guderian muttered to himself.
"Yes, four is good, but it's also bad for the body. My wife has been recuperating for over a year, and she's not getting much better. The doctor said she needs to drink more purified water and take some medication..."
"Ah, pure water..."
The cost alone is terrifying enough. Adults have to drink pure water continuously. Who can afford that?
No wonder he has to go out and work hard!
"So, here I am, aren't I? Maybe being a pioneer and being among the first to try something new will make me some money." The man's smile was almost a grimace; he had a good plan, but no one expected things to turn out this way.
"Then you're really stupid. My grandpa said that nothing good ever comes from here."
Another girl with a ponytail and a pale face couldn't help but mutter, "My grandpa wanted to enroll before, but my dad and the others stopped him. Then my dad wanted to come, but my mom stopped him again. Then my brother wanted to enroll, but my dad and mom wouldn't let him..."
"So you're saying you'll get it just because you come here?"
The single guy who had just been envious of someone who had quadruplets sat down and realized why he was still single.
He brought up the very thing he shouldn't have said, earning him a glare from the girl.
When Guderian saw them all talking about their families, he felt a pang of sadness, as if he were being soaked in hot lemon juice.
Everyone comes here for different reasons. Some died from genetic modification, while others have survived. They all care about the people below.
How heartbroken they would be if... if, in the end, they witnessed the disappearance of the place where their loved ones were?
Guderian dared not think about it; the thought only made him feel more suffocated sitting there.
The lights outside the slave quarters flickered a few more times. Guderian looked up at the flickering lights and suddenly stood up.
The light in Guderian's eyes was ignited by the signal from the flashing lights outside!
"Hey, young man, where are you going?"
Others were puzzled by Guderian's sudden action and quickly asked him questions.
"Let's go save the world."
...
Will anyone come?
Mingmei watched as Mu Chen showed great interest in the starship's energy glow from the moment he left. Apart from cutting off the robot's power supply and turning off the monitoring, he spent most of his time "playing with the lights."
“If Guderian hadn’t failed in his genetic modification, he would definitely have come. He would have known more than we do.”
Mu Chen answered decisively, and Mingmei couldn't help but nod in agreement, believing him.
"How did he find this place?"
"Yes, he knows it better than we should."
As Mu Chen spoke, he pulled Mingmei away and walked to another place.
"Where are you going again?"
"We've joined up with Guderian. The space pirates won't be unaware of what we've done. We don't want to be caught in a trap."
As he spoke, he handed a somewhat irregularly shaped razor blade to Mingmei.
"Where did this come from?" Looking at the sharp blade, the metallic sheen made it seem like it wasn't brought up from below.
"This is what the robot we killed earlier was holding, but it's incomplete. You can take it."
Just as Mingmei was about to ask him what to do, Mu Chen showed her the very strong-looking silk thread in his palm: "This is perfect for me."
