Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 201 - 67: Courting Death (Part 2)
"That’s right, the warship will soon reach Huangyang Star, and they won’t be able to spare any manpower."
They had already blocked the chance of a general’s rescue. The students were bound to battle the Insect Men on Huangyang Star and then perish.
If the mission couldn’t be completed, they would activate weapons to threaten the opponent, not hesitating to kill them all, then blaming the military for disregarding the students’ safety.
One escaped student wasn’t a threat.
Little did they know, it was precisely because they arrogantly let Xue Huiyi go that they gave Su Xiaocai a chance.
Xue Huiyi hated Su Xiaocai to death. If she hadn’t left, she could have seen through Su Xiaocai’s disguise at a glance, and the rescue might not have proceeded smoothly.
However, Xue Huiyi left, swiftly and decisively.
After the students quieted down, the three spies exchanged a knowing smile, relaxing back in their chairs.
They were already holding beers, celebrating in advance, drinking one cup after another, utterly at ease.
"The military doesn’t allow drinking, no fun, the pay isn’t great either. Freelancing is better, if everything goes well, we will strike it rich." Warships can’t be traded on the normal market. If you take them to the chaotic Fragmented Star Zone, it’s different, selling on the black market or to Star Thieves is very lucrative.
"With money comes good wine and beautiful women, it’s just a pity about my dear sister."
"Yes, a gentle and pure beauty, you recognized her, making everything easier."
The cheap sister mentioned by the spies was Major General Mo’s wife. His younger brother got lost because of her negligence when he was small, and since the location of the loss was on a remote planet, with Star Thieves roaming around, he couldn’t be found no matter what.
Later, she learned he grew up in a stray children’s home, and ever since, she was ashamed and, after reuniting, spoiled this brother extraordinarily, almost granting every request.
Under the "brother’s" pleading, she helped peek at Major General Mo’s computer password once.
A moment of guilt and indulgence led her down a path of no return.
The younger brother escaped, yet she was to face a military court, subject to life imprisonment.
After the three of them toasted and drank heartily, their minds became a bit hazy, their faces red.
"Stop drinking, the last hour’s left, we cannot lose everything at the critical moment."
"Don’t worry, not drunk."
They stopped drinking, sitting, waiting for the numbness caused by the alcohol to pass.
At that moment, a warship appeared on the remote monitoring screen.
"Could it be the army coming to rescue the students?"
One of the spies rubbed his eyes; he recognized the warship, bursting into laughter, "Hahaha, which idiot is leading this, attempting to disguise a warship as a Star Thief Ship."
The ship openly bore the emblem of the Star Thieves; three overlapping red diamonds, representing the notorious Blood Triangle Star Thief Group.
It hadn’t been around long; the leader was said to be very young and ruthless.
They acted evil, committing murder and robbery.
But it stuck on the warship, appeared so out of place.
The other two laughed heartily as well, it’s a small warship, what could it do?
"No worries, maybe just another reckless newbie leading the group." Tricks like this couldn’t fool them, servicemen didn’t dare attack, they relaxedly watched what tricks this warship had up its sleeve. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The two warships got closer.
Just after the laughter died down, the Star Thief Ship sent a signal with lights, demanding them to stand down and surrender or be killed.
The flashing signal was very professional, reinforcing the spies’ belief that the opposite "Star Thief Ship" was a military disguise.
After the flashing signal vanished, the Star Thief Ship was silent for two seconds.
"Adjust trajectory for missiles 1, 3, 5," commanded Su Xiaocai from the command seat, "Fire."
Though mentally prepared beforehand, the students controlling the warship below were still very tense.
The moment Su Xiaocai ordered the firing, Navigator AI 01 smiled excitedly; it could continue to kill, how perfect, this owner matched its preferences so well.
The students had to operate to launch the hot weapons; artificial intelligence couldn’t take over.
Navigator AI 01 helped adjust the angle, the students and instructor reluctantly pressed the send button.
Attack without a word.
The domineering way of coercion was the Star Thief’s usual conduct; being a Star Thief, Su Xiaocai didn’t hesitate a bit.
The warship with the spies abruptly veered off course.
The students in the training room all tumbled to the ground, struggling to get back up only to roll toward the other side.
Eventually, they grabbed onto the nearby safety rails to steady themselves.
"What happened, did the stabilizer break?"
"The hull tilted suddenly, the stabilizer couldn’t adjust," a quick student responded.
Under what circumstances does a hull tilt? Obviously, due to an attack. Who was so audacious?
Su Xiaocai gave the three spies no chance to use hostages as leverage.
