Qu Jianlei had a dark eye for battles in space - he had heard about interstellar voyages, which were less than a month old.
But the moment the spacecraft shook, he reached out and grabbed the railing on the cargo hold, and then grabbed Youyou.
In fact, Youyou's reaction was not slow either. Her hand was always on the railing, and it was enough to tighten it instantly.
Is a fight about to start? Qu Jianlei saw her gripping the railing tightly and immediately took out the two safety belt buckles.
Both of them were strapped with safety belts and had buckle holes on them, all of which had been done in advance.
The two of them buckled themselves on the railing. The buckle was more than half a meter long, which ensured that they would not fly out, but it did not affect their activities very much.
Then Qu Jianlei discovered that the B-level water attribute did not react accordingly.
At this time, he no longer thought that the other party did not understand, but felt that... there should be another explanation.
Youyou whispered, "It should be a warning shot."
Although this spacecraft is of civilian grade, it can withstand sub-light speed travel and withstand the space tear during the jump. Its own defense is definitely no problem.
So it’s not surprising that there was no reaction after being shot. Then the Star Thief was firing a warning shot, so there’s nothing wrong with it.
"It's from the Colorful Snake Group!" Another exclamation came from the loudspeaker, "It's over, this is a star thief who wants money and lives!"
Qu Jianlei and Youyou looked at each other. One was on his first interstellar journey, and the other was a garrison soldier who stayed at the base all year round.
Neither of them knew what this colorful snake group was like.
"Then get ready to fight," the loudspeaker roared, shouting and everything.
Youyou looked solemn and looked at Qu Jianlei thoughtfully, "We... want to join?"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "What can we do if we join?"
When he was a wanted criminal, he, Xiao Moshan, and Bentley helped the Black Panther fight the Fallen.
But that was a battle on the ground, and he had a good relationship with the Black Panther, so he didn't need to think too much about taking action against the public enemy of the human race.
But now we are in space, and the two of us are not good at this at all, okay?
And as a stowaway...even if I help win the battle, how to get off the ship and land is still a big problem.
Of course, he wouldn't blame Youyou for thinking this way. The two men were wanted unjustly. Is it wrong to have a bright mind?
When he asked this question, Youyou was also stunned. After thinking about it, she smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great if there were space mechas."
Qu Jianlei asked curiously, "Can you use a space mecha?"
"I have received training," Youyou replied in a low voice, and then sighed, "It's a pity that even if you have it, it won't be my turn to use it."
There are many trained soldiers in the base, and there are several in the cabin. How can she, a wanted criminal, be used in her turn?
At this moment, the water attribute warrior moved. He stood up and walked towards the freight elevator.
When Qu Jianlei and Youyou saw this, they were both stunned.
Then, Youyou gave a thumbs up, "He is a tough guy, he is not afraid of exposing the stowaway's identity!"
Qu Jianlei was a bit dissatisfied, "He was able to be hidden in a container and sent in. Maybe he just missed the mark to get on the ship."
There was a difference between a stowaway and a stowaway, and he felt it necessary to make her realize this.
As expected, that person felt confident and actually stepped onto the freight elevator, apparently heading for the isolation door between the passenger and cargo compartments.
At this time, the voices coming out of the speakers were relatively unified. Everyone was assigning tasks and planning to fight against the Star Thieves.
Someone among them shouted, "How many space mechas are there? I have participated in the mecha competition!"
Mecha competition... The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, there is actually such a competition?
But no matter what, both the crew and passengers on the spaceship are willing to fight the star pirates to the death.
There is indeed no shortage of brave people among the citizens of this empire, which is a good thing for a country.
However, at this moment, there was a muffled sound, followed by several screams and loud scoldings.
Immediately, gunshots rang out, the sound was shocking, and Qu Jianlei was stunned, "Hand cannon...are you crazy?"
The next moment, a sharp voice sounded, extremely excited.
"Give up your resistance, or I will blow up the spaceship!"
"It's you!" someone exclaimed, obviously recognizing the person.
"Monninger, don't be impulsive. If you let the base know, you will die without a burial place!"
"How did you get on the ship? Smuggling is a taboo, Monninger, before you make a big mistake..."
A muffled sound of "bang" interrupted the last person's words, and then the sharp voice sounded again.
"What a big mistake? Not following your arrangements is a big mistake? Haha, do you know who gave the star thief the position?"
"That's right, I was the one who issued it. A-level is great? I have refused to issue boarding quotas time and time again. How am I not qualified?"
Qu Jianlei and Youyou were speechless. The stowaway who was in the same cabin with us just now actually secretly communicated with the star thief?
Youyou gritted her teeth and whispered, "If I had known... I should have killed that guy!"
Qu Jianlei didn't bother to complain, but released his mental power, sensed it, and then his expression changed.
The next moment, he raised his hand and took out a well-folded tent. With a shake of his hand, he opened the tent, "Fengjuan!"
With a strong wind, the tent flew over a container, and by the time it landed, the container had been covered tightly.
This container was the same container that the man climbed out of just now. He sensed that there should be a fire explosion device inside.
The tent he took out was metal-coated to prevent radiation.
In this way, it is another simple Faraday cage, but... it is not enough!
He pressed the reed of the seat belt buckle, escaped from his body, and floated straight towards the container.
Youyou's sense of cooperation is not bad either. She released a vine and rolled it towards him, "Don't hide!"
Without this sound, Qu Jianlei might have subconsciously avoided it. At this moment, his nerves were highly tense.
By the time the vines wrapped around his waist, he had already arrived at the container.
He raised his hand and exerted force, feeling that the container... was not as heavy as usual.
He can be pushed over, but when he falls down, his weight will definitely not be light, and... it may cause an explosion.
Qu Jianlei first pushed the container to tilt a little, and when a gap was exposed at the bottom, he inserted two metal blocks.
Then he took out two wedge-shaped cones and expanded the gap at the bottom bit by bit.
Finally, he ran to the other side of the container and made a gesture to Youyou.
Youyou already understood what he was going to do, and released another vine, wrapped it around the top of the container, and slowly dragged it.
With the cooperation of the two of them, the container fell towards Qu Jianlei little by little, and finally he carried it hard and lowered it slowly.
When the container fell to the ground, he raised the other side and completely wrapped the container with the tent, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
Even though he is A-level, it is not easy to complete this set. The coefficient of friction between the tent and the container is very small, so it is slippery.
In addition, the movement should not be too big, not only to prevent accidental fire explosions, but also to avoid attracting the attention of others.
Otherwise, the man named Menninger, in desperation, would directly detonate it by remote control, and it would really be over.
In this vast space, the spacecraft exploded, and he didn't have a space suit, so the chance of survival was basically zero.
Youyou was more nervous than him. Seeing that he relaxed, she hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Look at other containers to see if there are any dangers."
"You're not so crazy, are you?" Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice, isn't it enough to explode a container on fire?
But having said that, he still took a look at the last batch of containers that were added.
He ignored the containers loaded in front.
Mental power is a good thing, but it is very tiring to use, and he wants to keep some to deal with possible accidents.
As expected, there were basically no items suspected of being fire explosives in those containers.
But then, he let out a soft cry again, "Youyou, there seems to be a mecha in the last batch of goods."
Youyou was also excited when she heard this, "Hurry up and open it. If it's a space mecha, we will be saved."
"It seems to be a single soldier," Qu Jianlei muttered,
It’s not clear what the situation in the cabin has become. Now if we open someone else’s container... we can’t hide it anymore!
However, after all, he is not the kind of person who is irresponsible. This is what he thinks in his heart, but he has already grasped the crowbar in his hand.
After about two minutes, he quietly pried open a container, revealing that there really was a mecha inside.
Youyou used vines to wrap around the railing, and she had already come over at this moment. She was overjoyed when she saw this, "Space Mecha!"
Then her face darkened, "It's 80% new, this is basically a mecha from the base... This Monninger really deserves to die!"
"Check it quickly," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "I have an energy block."
"This is an agile type, used for close support," Youyou said with a dark face, "it can't hold many energy blocks."
"Hurry up," Qu Jianlei urged her impatiently, "He doesn't need to travel long distances... If nothing happens, he will steal the stars."
"Let me give it a try," Youyou expertly entered a string of passwords on the mecha shell, "I only have the public password."
The next moment, the mecha's cockpit door made a soft sound and opened as expected.
However, Youyou was not in a hurry to go in for the test. Instead, she looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "A single soldier... can only accommodate one person."
She just said that the loading capacity of the energy block was small because she was considering the carrying capacity of the individual mecha.
"You go up and give it a try first," Qu Jianlei said with a dark face, "At least one of us can survive."
Does he really have no regard for his own life? Of course not, but Youyou... this is a comrade.
Anyway, he is stronger than Youyou, so he might encounter some turning point, and his ability to survive in the turning point is higher than that of his opponent.
Looking at him humorously, tears flashed in his eyes.
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and said with a little helplessness, "Please, I have never used a space mecha!"
