The robbers held all the hostages together. The small space was filled with a mixture of salty and acrid sweat and human odor, and it was a bit smelly.
The people locked up here have become listless one by one. Their eyes have lost their desire for life and have become numb and empty.
After all, every day the robbers would randomly catch a few "lucky ones" and reward them with the latest peanuts.
Outside this fully armed spaceship, corpses with hideous expressions were floating. Horrible holes could be vaguely seen on the vital parts of their bodies, which were made by the weapons in the hands of the robbers.
In these days when no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident, those people who usually dress brightly, handsomely and charmingly now silently accept their dirty appearance. They just beg in their hearts that the Federation can rescue them as soon as possible.
Among all the smelly people, Feng Qingyue and Yinchuan are the cleanest ones.
They huddled in the corner, not saying a word, looking well-behaved, quiet, weak and vulnerable.
Yinchuan glanced at his host, his tone full of speechlessness: (Just because he had nothing better to do, he had to come to this stinky place.)
Feng Qingyue glanced at him indifferently, and just this one glance scared Yinchuan.
He immediately tugged at Feng Qingyue's sleeve cautiously, his tone pitiful: (Hehe... Boss, don't be angry... I was just saying it casually...)
He was very good at changing his face.
Feng Qingyue quietly touched him from behind and grabbed his ear accurately. She stood up with all her strength, put her mouth close to his ear, and said through gritted teeth:
(Are you brave enough?! Are you brave enough to question your boss?)
Yinchuan grimaced, his body involuntarily leaning forward following the force on his ear, trying to relieve the pain.
(Ahhhhh… Boss, stop pulling, it hurts…)
Feng Qingyue was tired of pulling, so she slowly let go and sat back down.
Yinchuan covered his ears with his hands in a comical and exaggerated manner. His accusing gaze fell on Feng Qingyue, but he quickly looked away when she looked over.
I'm not a coward, I'm just following my heart!
In the void of the universe, a warship equipped with the Federation's most advanced stealth device crossed the asteroid belt and moved rapidly towards the monitored target location.
This warship is not as well-equipped as the ships in the large fleet. This warship is a transport aircraft. The soldiers sit upright on the ground, waiting to carry out the rescue mission.
As the spacecraft approached the target location, it began to slow down, and the scene outside the porthole made the soldiers extremely angry.
Corpses covered in frost flew past the soldiers' eyes. The expressions on their faces were terrified, with a hint of prayer for life that had not yet faded.
Ji Yuan stood in front of the console, his fingers rapidly tapping the virtual projection screen. His cold voice rang out, with the air of a mastermind: "Deploy the micro-detector."
Dozens of miniature detectors detached from the bottom of the spacecraft. They automatically turned on the scanning mode and chased the robbers' spacecraft.
This miniature probe is equipped with the Federation's latest concealment device, which can perfectly avoid detection by information sources on board the spacecraft.
On the console, the original route display automatically shrank and moved to the side. In the middle was a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the spacecraft, which was gradually taking shape.
As the micro-probes continued to go deeper, the specific structure and other characteristics of the spacecraft were presented to the soldiers without reservation.
The intelligent computer's emotionless voice sounded: "Activate life scan mode."
As soon as he finished speaking, red dots lit up on this virtual structural diagram.
Each red dot represents a life, and the micro detector will present the appearance characteristics of the life when scanning it.
After a while, dense red dots appeared in a cabin at the same time.
The machine's voice sounded again: "A large number of lives have been detected, 10% less than what was shown in the previous video.
The decrease is consistent with the number of bodies just counted.
There is no situation where the hostages are missing, but their lives are under great threat."
Ji Yuan frowned, his cold voice filled with anger: "Calculate the optimal route for the warriors.
The micro-detectors are always on standby."
With a wave of his hand, the image on the virtual projection screen changed again, and the schematic diagram of the internal structure of the spacecraft was also reduced in proportion and moved to the other side.
In the center of the screen is a real-time video.
In the video, the hostages were huddled together, their faces pale and their eyes numb.
Ji Yuan's dark red eyes were slightly anxious as he searched for something in the video screen.
Feng Qingyue listened to the faint "buzzing" sound coming from the air and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Her mental power spread out in all directions, gradually determining the source of the sound.
The light blue eyes seemed to look in the direction of the sound inadvertently, and the camera of the micro detector turned over at that moment.
Ji Yuan looked at the little girl sitting in the corner in the video and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them looked at each other through the camera.
On the spaceship, the intelligent computer's serious voice sounded, and at the same time, the video on the console was automatically cut off, and the schematic diagram of the spaceship's internal structure became larger again.
"After calculations, entering from here...here will allow us to reach the hostages' location the fastest and complete the rescue."
Along with the machine's voice, several yellow dots lit up on the virtual diagram. "This is where the weapons of this ship are located. The robbers are not high-level and cannot pose a direct threat."
