Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 246 Rebellion… Action!

Amid various inspections, the days passed one by one, drawing out the negotiation process even further, especially since some Glizerian high-ups’ hibernation periods had begun. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to steel himself, starting the patient wait.

There was no way to prevent others from sleeping, after all...

During this prolonged wait, it wasn’t until the eleventh day at six in the evening that Information Scientist Li Zhendong and Zhang Yuan walked toward the space shuttle at the exit of the Underground City, using the onboard equipment to send inspection records back to Earth Era.

It was, after all, their usual practice, and the Gleize Civilization had not prohibited such actions.

"The mathematical concepts of this civilization are indeed very strong, but their technological applications are nowhere near humans; they don’t even have satellites... I wonder what those scientists are doing," Zhang Yuan casually chatted. "A group that values mathematics but looks down on engineering... this disdain chain is a bit too much."

"Could it be because the Universal Factory doesn’t have any stored data on it, so they just don’t make it?"

Li Zhendong laughed, "It’s not impossible. If productivity suddenly increased, they probably just got lazy, and they haven’t even thoroughly explored the existing technology in there... who would go on to create something that isn’t in the Universal Factory."

"Could it also be because they live in the Underground City, where satellite signals are poor?"

From the current information revealed, the technology of the Universal Factory might belong to a second-level or third-level Civilization, but the information inside isn’t particularly compelling, mostly consisting of technology humans already possess and some that could easily be replicated.

"That interstellar civilization is really stingy, not willing to give the good stuff."

"Are you kidding? Who would directly give them all the high-tech and turn them into a second-level cosmic civilization?"

The two chatted and laughed in good spirits, idly speculating while they worked.

At that moment, the spaceship’s communication device suddenly received some strange information.

These data were very odd; were they really traditional... telegrams?

Li Zhendong puzzledly said, "Huh? A telegram sent between cities? That’s really strange; it seems like these were sent out just now from this city. Should we intercept it?"

Zhang Yuan replied irritably, "Mind your own business; it’s their private matter whether they are sending telegrams or faxes!"

Initially, Li Zhendong didn’t think much of it, but the more he thought about it, the more it felt odd. So, being a guy who loved to show off his skills, he curiously recorded these telegram logs without Zhang Yuan noticing.

"As long as I keep the secret, what can Old Zhang do?" Looking at the string of codes, Li Zhendong felt an itch inside, tempted to pry into the privacy of other civilizations, and after returning, he could show off to his peers...

The feeling of being envied was utterly delightful!

After such prolonged contact, humans had basically mastered the Glizerian script; deciphering it was not difficult.

But this telegram used some special codes, sparking Li Zhendong’s competitive spirit even further. He started wildly conjecturing, utilizing various means...

After a day and a night of attempts, he indeed managed to decrypt them.

In that moment, Li Zhendong was so shocked that his hair stood on end!

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang! This is bad, it’s life-threatening!" Li Zhendong, with dark circles under his eyes, exclaimed hurriedly, "We need to run!"

"What now?" Zhang Yuan was sleeping in his room and wanted to grouse about it.

But when he saw the content inside, he too broke into a cold sweat.

"Re... Rebellion?"

The telegram detailed the humans’ trading with Ganyador and other "traitors," stating that they would stage an uprising during most people’s hibernation period to stop this trade!

It called for other cities to actively respond to the "Resistance Alliance" and protect the "Universal Factory" belonging to the Gleize Civilization!

"That Ganyador, could it be that he isn’t the civilization’s leader?" Zhang Yuan was shocked, and cold sweat started to form on his back.

This is their territory, what if a rebellion really breaks out, what about the humans caught in the middle?!

Li Zhendong swallowed, "Should we tell them about this rebellion?"

A series of questions arose in his mind, but Zhang Yuan did not respond, instead shouting through the earpiece, "Everyone in the living area, don’t sleep anymore, put on your helmets and space suits, and be ready to evacuate at any moment!"

Over twenty people hurriedly put on their space suits and looked at Zhang Yuan, confused. Although the situation was urgent, without the Glizerians’ approval, they couldn’t leave the underground city.

"Follow me, there’s something big!"

The group was received by several Gliese Diplomats, while the rest of the Glizerians had entered a dormant state, with only a few on-duty personnel. Upon hearing the news, they were initially skeptical.

One of the leaders, with his two black eyes widened, stared at Zhang Yuan, "Your Excellency, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

Zhang Yuan spoke seriously, "I don’t know whether it’s merely fabricated rumors or reality, but I hope you can ensure the safety of all humans!"

"Of course, naturally... I assure you..."

Suddenly, the diplomat seemed to remember something, picked up the radio, and started shouting in the native language with great vehemence, his scales even bristling!

Zhang Yuan hardly knew what to say, his foreboding feeling growing stronger.

"Sir...we still have two people visiting the Universal Factory..."

After the call, the diplomat said hastily, "Friends from human civilization, I’m truly sorry, please believe us, this should just be a minor disturbance. You can return to your civilization now, I will open the gates of the underground city..."

"But please believe, we certainly have the capability to stop this rebellion!"

The diplomat wanted to say more but suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from a distant area!

A slight tremor was felt underfoot.

The whole scene suddenly quieted down, and though they didn’t know what had happened, Zhang Yuan felt something...

The riot had started prematurely!

The diplomat paused momentarily then, disregarding everything, sprinted towards the direction of the explosion.

Due to the extreme urgency of the situation, Zhang Yuan immediately led people towards the shuttle. He didn’t know the scale of the uprising, but it was obvious who would be hit first—them, the humans!

"Damn, what are these Glizerians up to? Using us as shields? They start a rebellion now, aren’t they supposed to be united?" Li Zhendong cursed, suddenly realizing something.

Zhang Yuan scoffed, "Isn’t that obvious, wanting to use the Universal Factory in exchange for a spaceship... Even if that spaceship is large, it cannot transport all the population, hence, the rest wouldn’t want to trade."

"We can’t manage their mess; we just need to find everyone and then get the shuttle flying!"

"Little Li, is the fuel ready?"

One of the soldiers, who was also the shuttle pilot, Li Junkang, called out loudly, "Reporting, all is ready!"

Zhang Yuan thought of something and gritted his teeth, "...Li Zhendong, you go ahead to the shuttle and wait there, Little Li, come with me to the Universal Factory to retrieve the two people left behind!" freёweɓnovel_com

The source of the tremor seemed to be the area where the Universal Factory was located...

Li Zhendong didn’t dawdle, "Don’t worry, if worst comes to worst, just come back on your own."

Zhang Yuan turned back and ran in the opposite direction.

"Be careful, take care of yourself!" Lin Xuanyuan frowned, her small face worried, yelling into the earpiece.

He looked back and made a gesture, "Got it! Don’t worry!"
