The cabin was silent. It wasn't just Seid who was incredulous; the others following Alexei also looked incredulous.
What exactly happened just now?
Something suddenly appeared in the air for a moment, and then vanished with a bang beneath the huge, exquisite cross.
A pale-faced man murmured, "Could this really be the power of religious faith?"
He took a step forward, itching to try it out. He suddenly wanted to have a faith too; the "Namo Gatling Bodhisattva" that the freshman had mentioned sounded pretty good.
He had barely taken a step forward when Alexei, the leader, grabbed his arm. The black-haired boy's voice sounded somewhat gritted.
"I seem to remember that your family has a religious background?"
Don't just believe in weird things!
Alexei's gaze fell on Gu Li, who had just dealt with the low-level girl in exactly two seconds, and seemed unfazed.
He then opened a bottle of nutritional supplement from the table and casually gulped it down.
You just ate so much, can you still eat now?
Alexei's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he forcibly pulled them back, his gaze fixed intently on the cross casually placed beside her.
He strode over to Gu Li, who was still drinking nutrient solution, coughed lightly, and under the condemning gazes of the others, asked, "How did you manage that attack just now?"
"Those disgusting things actually disappeared!"
At this point, all eyes turned to them. Pollution would give birth to alien species, which are not only extremely dangerous to ordinary people.
The disposal of the corpses after they were killed was an even greater problem.
Most of them possess a strange allure during their lifetime, which can cause people to be unconsciously corrupted and assimilated, and this characteristic remains unchanged after death.
After a large-scale alien invasion, the disposal of flesh and blood became a major problem. A small number of alien bodies with special abilities could be reused and crafted into various props by experienced craftsmen.
Everything else must be recycled and eliminated, and the elimination process is no safer than the battle.
As soon as Alexei finished speaking, Wang Li suppressed his shock and walked over, putting his arm around Alexei's shoulder.
"If you want to know, we have plenty of time, but right now the most important thing is for us to get to the jump station safely."
Wang Li forced a reassuring smile, but his gaze towards Gu Li was unusually complex: "Gu Li, what did you sense?"
With a pile of empty bottles under her command, Gu Li looked out the window, and all that could be seen was her pale and beautiful profile.
Gu Li sensed it and said, "I am very pleased to inform everyone that our spaceship is slowing down."
They quieted down, knowing full well that the warship undergoing the jump would only maintain an extremely high speed, moving forward at a constant pace.
The slowdown indicates that they are about to reach the jump point.
This is several hours faster than expected.
Wang Li turned his gaze away from the window, his expression growing serious: "We've been forced to land ahead of schedule."
This is the spacecraft's emergency plan. When the concentration of pollution inside the spacecraft exceeds a certain level, the spacecraft will seek the nearest military outpost for an emergency landing.
Upon hearing this news, He Wei's eyes flickered: "Isn't this a good thing? We'll be receiving reinforcements sooner than expected."
Wang Li twitched the corner of his mouth; they were already close to the safe zone.
The defense forces stationed here are primarily responsible for protecting the security zone and eliminating any unusual activity.
The moment they landed, rather than being saved, they should have been thinking about how to avoid being wiped out by their own people.
As he explained, the expressions on everyone's faces gradually darkened. Alexei frowned: "But we're on the Federal University's spaceship."
With such a large symbol on the outside of the ship, would those people just ignore it and carry out the elimination mission?
Wang Li gave him a deep look: "The consequences of a polluted spaceship entering the Federal University would be even more terrifying."
Alexei's expression gradually turned grim.
Gu Li had sniffed the air countless times, but instead of joining their conversation, she walked to the edge of the cabin and placed her hand on it.
An invisible aura spread out instantly, and the alarms inside the spaceship went off at the same time. Gu Li frowned and withdrew his hand.
Under the flashing scarlet lights overhead, Gu Li looked at the group and said, "I have bad news. We'll probably be swallowed by that thing before we even land."
As soon as she finished speaking, everything went black before everyone's eyes, and the entire spaceship was plunged into darkness, with only the faint lights in the self-service area still shining.
The glass around the spaceship creaked under the strain, and outside the windows was complete darkness. Something was rubbing against the spaceship.
Gu Li rested his chin on his hand and tapped his finger lightly: "The good news is that we have a buffer zone after landing."
There was complete silence among them; they could barely see each other's pale faces.
Everyone: You might as well say we've already been swallowed up!!!
He Wei thought stiffly that this might be the most dangerous part of this internship; to be honest, they were being overprotected at the border.
I've encountered fewer of these alien species than I've seen in just a few days or hours.
Her gaze swept over Gu Li without leaving a trace.
Gu Li's pale, beautiful face was expressionless, and his calm demeanor, as always, calmed her down as well.
For some reason, between the experienced team leader and Gu Li, who had too many secrets, she subconsciously chose Gu Li, who looked weaker.
He Wei thought for a moment, then clutched the pendant hidden inside her clothes and prayed silently.
