The last time Qu Jianlei stowed away on Jiuchuan College's school bus, he encountered seven stowaways.
Those people were later picked up by the anti-smuggling team from the Skyhook Star Territory. They must have been involved in some other activity.
Qu Jianlei didn't go into detail about that encounter, it was just that, but he was shocked by the rampant smuggling.
But now it seems that his original emotion...the pattern was not enough!
This time, a total of forty-eight stowaways came in in batches!
Including himself, there were actually forty-nine stowaways in the cargo hold of this starship.
Moreover, Qu Jianlei could feel that these forty-eight stowaways were at least three groups of people.
Will one day the number of these stowaways exceed the number of passengers in the cabin above?
Half a day after the starship took off, the stowaways gradually climbed out of the cargo box, and then inevitably... met!
At the beginning, everyone was relatively alert. If they weren't worried about being discovered, they might have started fighting.
Fortunately, the stowaways were led by a smuggler, who began to warn the people he led not to communicate with outsiders.
Qu Jianlei was finally able to confirm that there were four groups of people in total, three groups were teams, and the other group was a man and a woman alone.
It can be seen that most of the stowaways are first time immigrants, so they tend to listen to the smugglers and be very cautious.
But this tacit understanding was eventually broken, and someone discovered an acquaintance in another team.
This is really the most amazing thing in the world, and it can be regarded as "meeting an old friend in another box".
The two of them were also very excited and started whispering in low voices.
The smuggler tried to stop them, but these interstellar stowaways were not "piglets". On the contrary, there were many people who were not easy to mess with.
The two men murmured in low voices, one was a C-class warrior and the other was a reformed warrior, directly telling the snakehead to stop meddling in other people's business.
Once the bad start cannot be stopped, the car cannot be stopped, and soon someone starts to whisper again.
This situation... is not unexpected. The cargo hold is dark and stuffy, giving people a very depressing feeling, and the journey will last several days.
Some people even took out the chessboard and asked for someone to play chess.
On the other hand, the two men, a man and a woman, remained calm and hid in a dark corner without making a sound.
Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, several smugglers couldn't stand it anymore, so they held the two guys at bay with their guns.
"Paralyzed, if you want to die, I'll kill you now, don't hurt everyone!"
After these changes, everyone finally realized that they were in the process of stowaway, so their voices lowered a lot.
Even if someone occasionally speaks loudly, they will be warned by other stowaways, entering a virtuous circle.
Instead, several smugglers got together and started muttering.
"What a numb person. This is the worst person I have ever led. He actually dares to eat food from strangers!"
"It's rough. If I weren't worried about hiding the smell of blood, I would really want to bleed them."
"Sigh, it's hard to do any business now. If it weren't for the restricted flights some time ago, we wouldn't have accumulated so much business..."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, the strict investigation on smuggling was the fault of the previous period.
When smugglers talk, they are not so low-key - at least they have to show that they are well-informed.
Then Qu Jianlei unexpectedly learned that Phoebe Supreme of Planet 4 was missing. It was said... that it was me?
Is it really okay for you to accuse others of their innocence like this?
Then he began to think about what happened to Furby's disappearance.
There is no doubt that the more chaotic the Hope Star Territory is, the more beneficial it will be for him, but now... being idle is also idle, isn't it?
Qu Jianlei was thinking when the light in front of his eyes dimmed and a woman walked over, carrying a bag in her hand.
He was hiding in a very secret corner. The woman thought that there was no one here and wanted to come over to solve an urgent problem.
When the woman saw someone suddenly appear in front of her, she was so frightened that she subconsciously opened her mouth and was about to scream.
Qu Jianlei dodged and came to the woman's side like a ghost. He raised his hand to cover her mouth as fast as he could.
He whispered, "Don't scream, I will kill you if you do!"
The woman was immediately frightened, trembling all over, and the bag in her hand fell to the deck.
Among the forty-eight people, there were more than one or two awakened ones. With such a loud noise, five or six people instantly turned their heads and looked over.
Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, what the hell is going on!
But there was nothing he could do. If he didn't take action, the woman's scream would be enough to attract the attention of the starship flight attendant.
Seeing more and more eyes looking at him, he hummed softly, "What are you looking at? You haven't seen anyone smuggling?"
One of the snakeheads frowned and whispered, "Okay, you can let her go...she won't scream!"
"I'll change places!" Qu Jianlei frowned, loosened his grip on the woman's mouth, and walked to another corner.
He couldn't stay in his hiding place, mainly because... the woman was so frightened that she peed.
Another smuggler stood up and whispered, "Friend, how many more of you do you have?"
"It's just me," Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, "What's the matter, you want to check my backpack?"
This is not a good thing to say. Nowadays, no one has any legal protection, and checking the backpack means very bad possibilities.
"Friend, don't be so impulsive," another smuggler said, "We don't want to cause trouble, right?"
A smuggler in front also raised his hands, "Don't get me wrong, we are worried that you still have people who haven't come out, and someone else will be frightened."
Snakeheads can be said to be the best at observing words and emotions. Without this ability, they are simply not qualified to eat this bowl of rice.
They know very well that when mixing in society, you must not provoke loners. How many people who dare to walk alone are simple?
Moreover, no one dared to say that he could do the hand that covered the woman's mouth just now.
"No more," Qu Jianlei shook his head, walked behind a box and disappeared into the shadows.
His sudden appearance still affected the mood of the stowaways, and no one in the cargo hold spoke.
It took another five or six minutes before someone started to murmur in a low voice, but even half an hour later, the atmosphere was still less lively than before.
"This is..." Qu Jianlei didn't know how many times he complained.
Feeling really bored, he took out a Forerunner terminal and flicked it absently.
This terminal was seized from an A-level terminal of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce. The underlying logic was reset and there were some recreational mini-games.
Qu Jianlei is not very interested in games. He was already injured playing time travel before. In comparison, he is more interested in designing games.
But this is just a pastime, at least it makes him look like a normal person.
In fact, he was still thinking in his mind, who the hell is framing me?
He showed his aloofness and refused to let strangers in, so naturally no one would take the initiative to chat with him.
However, a day later, when the starship was about to enter the jump, someone still came to find it.
The only one among the stowaways was Class B. He spoke expressionlessly, "Friend, where is your survival capsule?"
"I damn well know that's it!" Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice. Once exposed, all kinds of troubles will follow.
Then he released his B-level aura, "I don't think it's necessary to use the life support capsule!"
"Wind attribute level B?" The person on the other side was slightly surprised. He only thought that this person was wind attribute level C.
Qu Jianlei pretended to be a wind attribute, mainly because he didn't want others to fall in love with him.
And he moves so quickly, choosing the wind attribute can save him a lot of explanations.
But this person is really curious. Where can’t a B-level wind attribute live? Why bother sneaking across quietly?
Fortunately, he also knew the taboos of mixed society, so he just looked at the other person strangely, turned around and left.
Unsurprisingly, Qu Jianlei's failure to prepare a survival cabin aroused the uneasiness of many stowaways and smugglers.
To put it simply, if he wants to rob everyone, the best time to do it is when everyone enters the life-sustaining cabin.
In this situation, no one would bet on how noble his moral character is.
However, Qu Jianlei was really helpless. He actually had a life-sustaining capsule...in the talisman!
However, in this case, if he exposed the talisman, he would have to consider how to kill these forty-eight people as soon as possible to silence them.
After all, I still have to blame that woman... Where the hell did you go to the toilet?
Two minutes later, the B-class soldier came back, "Friend, you don't even have a life-support capsule... We are in a dilemma."
Qu Jianlei frowned and said calmly, "Then just kill me. I will try my best not to make a sound."
He didn't want to kill someone for no reason, but there was no psychological pressure in self-defense.
What are you talking about? The B-class soldier wanted to scold him, but seeing the other party's indifferent expression, he finally didn't dare to make a mistake.
Then another smuggler came over and said, "Sir, what you are doing is making it very difficult for us. Class B should also have a life-support capsule, right?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I don't need it. Class B still needs to use the life support cabin... Are you embarrassed to say that you are Class B?"
"Friend, what do you mean by this?" The B-level guy quit, "Are you looking for trouble?"
"Just you?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him and shook his head indifferently, "Just take action and I won't say anything."
"Okay," the other B-class finally couldn't help it anymore, it was the man among the man and the woman.
"I don't need a life-support capsule either. I will keep an eye on this man for you. Do you have any questions?"
After the man and woman boarded the starship, they had very little conversation with each other, and they never said a word to outsiders.
It is certain that if Qu Jianlei had not made things so unpleasant with everyone, which might have affected him, the man would never have come forward.
This man's words are more credible to everyone.
Why didn't others make things difficult for him? Because after the starship set sail, he took the initiative to show up.
Although he did not have a life-support capsule, his female companion, a C-level soldier, prepared a life-support capsule.
Comparatively speaking, a single Class B whose identity was broken into is much more suspicious.
"Forget it," the angry Class B waved his hand and said feebly, "I won't enter the life-support cabin anymore, who is afraid of whom?"
A storm was resolved like this, but in the final analysis, everyone was worried that it would lead to bigger troubles.
But the B-level one looked at Qu Jianlei's expression and was really gritting his teeth.
