Qiu Bai dodged in a sorry state, as some plant that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere relentlessly pursued her. The spaceship's backup energy was almost completely depleted.
Two thieves screamed loudly inside the shaky, dilapidated spaceship.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."
"Shut up."
Qiu Bai pressed his temples, wary of the plant appearing from nowhere at any moment, as if it had eyes that could see everything.
"No, we're all going to die. You vicious woman, you can die on your own, why are you dragging us down with you?"
"That's right, that's right."
Qiu Bai looked outside, then with a backhand slap, he knocked the two men off the knot of the rope.
"Take your survival jacket and escape."
The thief glanced at the survival jacket beside him and thought, "Escape my ass, going out now means certain death."
They exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and spoke.
"Hey girl, could you please reduce the spaceship's power consumption to the minimum? Is there ice on board?"
"Nitrogen liquefaction can be done on the spot."
Qiu Bai looked disheveled, but his eyes remained calm.
The two thieves looked at Qiu Bai and said, "This plant uses heat to capture food. As long as the energy supply is reduced and liquid nitrogen is used to cool it down, it might run away and just think this is a small campfire or something."
Qiu Bai slowly opened the spaceship's control panel and modified some unnecessary programs. "You two are quite clever."
"No, no, I just heard it from someone else."
...
Has it left?
"They should be leaving by now."
Qiu Bai looked at the two thieves huddled together, looking as frightened as groundhogs. "No need to look anymore, they're gone. But they're so fast, who knows if they'll come back."
Seeing Qiu Bai remain calm, the two thieves felt they had the worst luck in the world to have met such a fearless person.
"Now that you've seen how terrifying it is, can we leave?"
"no."
"You two are so smart, I can sense that we won't die in the central area, let's keep going."
...
...
Thief: "Don't go too far. If you push us too far, we'll bite the rabbit too."
"That's called a rabbit biting when cornered, not biting a rabbit."
The thief's face turned pale with embarrassment. He had just learned this from someone else, but who knew that person had also gotten it wrong.
"You really want to go to the city center?"
"Of course I have to go. I need to see what happened."
The two opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say, so they closed them again and huddled in the corner without saying a word.
Qiu Bai watched, gave an ambiguous hum, and did not continue.
...
Located 100 kilometers from the city center.
The spaceship finally succumbed to the pressure and crashed.
Qiu Bai watched as the two thieves disappeared without a trace, seemingly without ejecting from the safety pod, and realized that his leg appeared to be broken.
No, the spaceship has already crashed. Those two thieves certainly don't deserve to die, even though they concealed some things.
With his other leg still intact, he jumped back into the spaceship and pried open the lid with his bare hands.
"Are you two alive? If you are, say something."
Even after we were more than halfway inside, it was still very quiet, with only the sound of ticking.
It looked particularly eerie in the empty wilderness.
"There's no smell of blood!!"
Oh no, this is a trap!
When I turned around, there was a red dot on my head.
The two thieves looked at her with smiles. "Qiu Bai, the former commander of the Empire, such an outstanding talent, how could he have fallen into the hands of two thieves?"
"Come out!"
Qiu Bai had a cold face; she shouldn't have been soft-hearted.
