Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 355 - 235: Truly Ruthless
Youyou was a bit inferior to Flower Scorpion in battle intuition, but her cultivation level was much higher.
However, in terms of courage and action, Youyou absolutely surpassed the cautious Flower Scorpion; when she got angry, she really disregarded everything.
She piloted the Space Mecha towards the cargo elevator, but after a few steps, she gave up.
The cargo elevator was too narrow; it was not a path that a Space Mecha could traverse.
But she really didn’t believe it, so she directly told Qu Jianlei, "Hide well, I’m going to stir things up!"
Qu Jianlei knew that persuading her now was useless; in such sudden incidents, everyone had the right to make their own choices.
This was not a time for reasoning, and there was no choice that could guarantee the best result.
He swiftly hid himself, clearly knowing at this moment that by leaving the Mecha to her, she was trying to repay the favor.
Stop her? It’s really unnecessary; it’s a comrade’s goodwill, and he shouldn’t overthink it.
The most crucial thing was, he couldn’t predict the potential outcomes of her actions, so by what reason should he stop her?
Youyou directly opened the communication channel on the Mecha and activated the speaker.
"Meng Ningge, long time no see. This set of Mecha I’m wearing, is it your last hope of escape?"
The sound in the speaker disappeared instantly, and after four or five seconds, a flash of light appeared in the cargo hold.
All the lights in the cargo hold turned on in just one or two seconds.
Qu Jianlei swore he never expected there would be so many lights in the cargo hold.
But is it strange? Not really. Normally, the light in the cargo hold was dim and obscure to prevent prying eyes.
When it’s time for inventory, how could the cargo hold be short of lights?
Almost instantly, a Space Mecha appeared before everyone.
However, in the large cargo hold, an agile-type Space Mecha appeared rather inconspicuous.
The reason it was noticeable was mainly because, apart from this Mecha, everything else was just piles of cargo containers.
But Meng Ningge noticed something else; his sharp voice rang out again, "What’s with the container wrapped around it?"
"Shielded it," Youyou responded matter-of-factly, "If you detonate it, wouldn’t I be blasted into space?"
No joke, this blast is a real blast; the cargo hold is at normal temperature and pressure, while outside is vacuum space.
If the cargo hold were blown open, the objects inside would surely be expelled outwards with the air.
Meng Ningge was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Really bad luck... Are you a stowaway too?"
"Who I am is not important," Youyou responded very straightforwardly, "The key is that you almost got me killed."
"Then I apologize," Meng Ningge was at least somewhat civilized; he knew what the other party meant.
As they were both stowaways and almost got implicated by him, apologizing was quite normal.
But the next moment, his face darkened, "Did I ask you to board this ship?"
Some people live to be detested by both gods and men, and it’s really not without reason; they’re just too self-centered.
Youyou simply couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and directly asked, "I’ve already shielded the explosives, do you surrender?"
Meng Ningge was also ruthless; seeing this, he directly pressed the remote control in his hand.
Fortunately, this time the Faraday Cage didn’t fail, and the container showed no reaction.
But Meng Ningge’s action completely enraged the others.
The A-level Warrior was fire-attribute and inconvenient to act inside the cabin, so he straightforwardly exerted pressure, "Capture him!"
Two B-level Warriors, one wood-attribute and one gold-attribute, acted in unison.
Both attributes had binding techniques, and they directly tied up Meng Ningge tightly.
The fire-attribute A-level Warrior flashed forward, intending to beat him up, but a C-level Warrior hurriedly intervened to stop him.
This person wasn’t from the base, but a passenger traveling with the ship, "Sir, you can’t act, there are still Star Thieves outside..."
The A-level Warrior glared at him but didn’t lose his temper, merely flashed his body swiftly, and kicked Meng Ningge hard.
Then he snorted coldly, "Can we jump now?"
"No," a voice from the cockpit replied, "Unknown jump point, still facing interference from attacks..."
During a jump, extra attacks would undoubtedly increase the difficulty and risk of jumping, that’s for sure.
However, the key point was, this person stammered and said, "Mainly, we also didn’t prepare many Energy Stones."
Upon hearing this, the A-level Warrior rolled his eyes, "Didn’t you bring a lot of Energy Blocks when you came?"
"All left behind," the voice was quite helpless, "You’re not Mineral Stars; how much can we take away?"
Mainly, they didn’t anticipate needing to jump, so not many Energy Blocks were left on the ship.
The A-level Warrior finally turned his head to look at a screen showing the cargo hold.
"This stowaway friend, are there Energy Blocks in that container?"
Youyou really wanted to say Qu Jianlei had brought some Energy Blocks.
But such a large ship needed a massive amount of Energy Blocks to make a jump.
The Energy Blocks in Qu Jianlei’s Storage Talisman are a lot for a person, but in this situation, they are merely better than nothing.
The key is, once you admit it, it also exposes the existence of the Storage Talisman.
So she waved her hand, "No, this Mecha can’t carry many Energy Blocks."
"Agile type," a B-level Warrior muttered, "Meng Ningge intends to turn to the Star Thieves if things don’t work out!"
Turns out, there are quite a few insightful people.
The face of the A-level Warrior slightly darkened, staring at the Mecha and speaking, "This stowaway friend, could you reveal your true appearance?"
Youyou took off the aviation helmet, revealing her face, "Greetings, Lord Pan Yifu."
"It’s you?" Pan Yifu recognized her and immediately understood why she had to stow away.
He frowned and spoke, "Meng Ningge plans to turn to the Star Thieves... Do you dare to be responsible for your words?"
Youyou blinked her eyes and answered somewhat helplessly, "I only said there’s no Energy Block, nothing else."
"Isn’t that the same as saying it?" Pan Yifu was also somewhat helpless.
"I vaguely know your matters, it feels a bit pity, but what you’re saying now... may affect the reputation of the Supreme."
Youyou paused for a moment, then stated flatly, "Linking with Star Thieves and turning to Star Thieves... is there a big difference?"
She actually still respected him, and he understood her, but this statement made it unacceptable.
"Of course," Pan Yifu answered without hesitation, "Linking with Star Thieves is solely his problem, turning to them is different."
He didn’t explain clearly because some rules can only be done but not said.
Being an A-level, he knows, of course, more than a B-level.
That’s why he dared to try and hit Meng Ningge earlier, since that’s not such a big deal, but the matter they’re discussing now is significant.
Yet, Youyou understood his words, she smirked indifferently, "Turning will affect the Supreme?"
Pan Yifu grew even more helpless, "Do you realize, saying these words might provoke the Supreme’s dissatisfaction?"
"Can I still afford to think about this now?" Youyou’s voice carried some plaintiveness, "The priority is survival!"
"Trouble!" Someone shouted, "Meng Ningge... Meng Ningge has poisoned himself to death!"
Everyone turned their heads and, sure enough, noticed a dark red blood trickling from Meng Ningge’s mouth corner; his eyes were already closed.
A B-level Warrior with Wood Attribute reached out to feel his pulse, and expressed sadly, "There’s no saving him."
This person was really ruthless, ruthless to others and to himself, upon hearing it might affect his grandfather, he directly poisoned himself.
Pan Yifu looked at Youyou helplessly and then sighed softly, "Young people today really can’t endure anything."
"Shall we force a transition... Anyone against it?"
The risks of forced transition are indeed high, not to mention the lack of enough Energy Blocks.
Someone spoke up, "Wasn’t it agreed earlier that we should give it our all? Now even the insider is dead."
Pan Yifu shook his head, "We might not have won originally, now... who knows if that guy left any posthumous strategies?"
Someone else looked towards Youyou, "Any potential danger left?"
Youyou shook her head and then donned the aviation helmet, "To my knowledge, there isn’t."
Pan Yifu snorted lightly, "This person is a wanted criminal by the base, and now wants to stow away... are you sure her words are trustworthy?"
He indeed had some sympathy for Youyou before, but Meng Ningge’s death meant he might face Kushnier’s wrath.
At this moment, he had to distance himself from her as much as possible.
Youyou was indifferent to his stance; she’s already somewhat disappointed with these big figures.
Anyway, she had an A-level Warrior behind her; if Pan Yifu really wanted to do something, he certainly wouldn’t be a match for Qu Jianlei.
However, the vacuum for Qu Jianlei... was still a bit cruel.
Thus, she spoke sternly, "Can you spare a Life Support Pod? Otherwise, I don’t mind detonating this cargo hold!"
Pan Yifu frowned slightly, ultimately staying silent, but someone spoke up.
"You’re a B-level Warrior with a Space Mecha, what do you need a Life Support Pod for?"
Youyou replied calmly, "The transition might have issues, and Space Mecha is not guaranteed; I think Life Support Pod is more suitable."
"This is truly..." Someone couldn’t take it, the reason is a bit far-fetched, Space Mecha can adapt in a vacuum!
"Give it to her," Pan Yifu stated bluntly, then asked, "Do you all want to push her to the brink?"
Explosives were excluded by others, but she might detonate them, why take the risk?
Some doubted inwardly; she’s merely a B-level, and Pan Yifu, being A-level, might not be unable to restrain her.
But on second thought, it’s merely a Life Support Pod.
The price isn’t cheap, but on all spacecraft, Life Support Pods are always in abundance.
After a while, a mechanical arm slowly descended, grasping an egg shell-shaped object on its top mechanical hand.
This is the Life Support Pod, slightly smaller than the Nutrition Pod, and during transitions, it effectively protects ordinary people.
