Qu Jianlei has a dark eye for battles in space - he heard about interstellar voyages, and it was less than a month ago.

But the moment the spacecraft shook, he reached out and grabbed the railing on Cargo Hold, and then grabbed You You.

In fact, You You's reaction was not slow. Her hand was always on the railing, and it was enough to tighten it instantly.

Is there going to be a fight? Qu Jianlei Seeing her gripping the railing tightly, she 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 Rank B of 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.

You You whispered, "It should be a warning shot."

Although this spaceship is of civilian grade, it can withstand Sublight Speed Flight 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 Space Pirate was shooting as a warning, so there's nothing wrong with it.

"It's Variegated Snake Gang!" Another exclamation came from the loudspeaker, "It's over, this is Space Pirate who wants both money and life!"

Qu Jianlei and You You 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 kind of reputation this Variegated Snake Gang was.

"Then get ready to fight," the loudspeaker roared, shouting and everything.

You You looked solemn and looked at Qu Jianlei thoughtfully, "We... want to join?"

Qu Jianlei was startled 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 Black Panther fight Fallen.

But that was a battle on the ground, and he had a good relationship with Black Panther, so he didn't need to think too much about taking action against the public enemy 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 You You for thinking so. The two men were wanted unjustly. Is it wrong to have a bright mind? When he asked this question, You You was also stunned. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly, "It would be great if there was Space Mech."

Qu Jianlei asked curiously, "Can you use Space Mech?"

"I have received training," You You replied in a low voice, and then sighed, "It's a pity that even if it is available, it won't be my turn to use it."

There are many trained soldiers in the base, and there are several in the cabin. Where can she, a wanted criminal, get the chance to use them?

At this moment, the Water Attribute soldier moved. He stood up and walked towards the freight elevator.

Qu Jianlei and You You were stunned when they saw this.

Then, You You gave a thumbs up, "He is a tough guy, he is not afraid of exposing the stowaway's identity!"

Qu Jianlei was a bit disapproving, "He was able to be hidden in a container and sent in. Maybe he just missed the target to get on the ship."

Stowaways were not the same as stowaways, and he felt the need to make her realize that.

As expected, that person had some confidence and actually stepped onto the freight elevator, apparently heading for the isolation door between passengers Cargo Hold.

At this time, the voice coming out of the loudspeaker was relatively unified. Everyone was assigning tasks and planning to fight against Space Pirate.

Someone among them was shouting, "How many pairs of Space Mech are there? I participated in Mech Competition!"

Mech Competition...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 Space Pirate 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, gunfire rang out, and the sound was shocking. 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.

"Meng Ningge, 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, Meng Ningge, before you make a big mistake..."

A muffled sound of "bang" interrupted the last person's words, and then the sharp voice sounded again.

"Big mistake? Is it a big mistake not to follow your arrangements? Haha, do you know who sent the positioning to Space Pirate?"

"That's right, I issued it. How great is Rank A? I have refused to issue boarding quotas time and time again. How am I not qualified?"

Qu Jianlei and You You were relatively speechless. The stowaway who was in the same cabin with us just now actually secretly communicated with Space Pirate? You You gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice, "If I had known... I should have killed that guy!"

Qu Jianlei didn't bother complaining, but released Mental Strength, 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, "Wind Roll!"

With a Wind Roll, the tent flew over a container. When it landed, the container had been covered tightly.

This container was the same container that the man climbed out of just now. He sensed it and saw 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.

You You's sense of cooperation is not bad either. He released a vine from his hand 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, the weight will definitely not be light, and... it may cause an explosion.

Qu Jianlei First push the container to tilt a little, and when the gap is exposed at the bottom, insert two metal blocks first.

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 You You.

You You 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 Rank A, it is not very easy to complete this set. The coefficient of friction between the tent and the container is very small, so it will not slip.

In addition, the movement should not be too big, not only to prevent accidental fire explosions, but also not to attract other people's attention.

Otherwise, that person named Meng Ningge, in desperation, would directly detonate it by remote control, and it would really be over.

In this vast space, the spaceship exploded, and he didn't have Spacesuit yet, so the chance of survival was basically zero.

You You was even more nervous than him. Seeing that he relaxed, he quickly 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 one container Fire Explosion enough?

But having said that, he still felt the last batch of containers that had been added.

He ignored the containers loaded in front.

Mental Strength is a good thing, but it is tiring to use, and he wants to keep some to deal with possible accidents.

As expected, there was basically nothing suspicious of Fire Explosion in those containers.

But then, he let out another whisper, "You You, there seems to be a mecha in the last batch of goods."

You You was also excited when he heard this, "Open it quickly, if it's Space Mech, 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, and there was really a mecha inside.

You You wrapped the vines around the railing, and now he was approaching. He was overjoyed when he saw this, "Space Mech!"

Then her face darkened, "80% new, this is basically the base's mecha... This Meng Ningge really deserves to die!"

"Check it quickly," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "I have Energy Block."

"This is an agile type, used for close support," You You said with a dark face, "It can't hold many Energy Block."

"Hurry up," Qu Jianlei urged her impatiently, "He doesn't need to travel long distances... If nothing happens, he will surrender to Space Pirate."

"Let me try," You You expertly entered a string of passwords on the mecha shell, "I only have the public password."

The next moment, the cockpit door of the mecha made a soft sound and opened as expected.

However, You You did not rush in to test. Instead, he looked at Qu Jianlei, "A single soldier... can only accommodate one person."

She just said that the loading capacity of Energy Block is 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 You You... this is a comrade.

Anyway, he is stronger than You You, and he might encounter a turning point. His ability to survive in a turning point is higher than that of his opponent.

You You looked at him silently, tears flashing in his eyes.

Qu Jianlei spread his hands and said with a little helplessness, "Please, I have never used Space Mech!"
