When Zi Yi said that, a sudden deafening explosion was heard.
Both of them turned to look in the same direction.
They saw Shadow, can meet
who had retreated a few steps due to the recoil from the explosion.
Lance immediately took this opportunity to break through the space magnetic field and escape.!!
“Shadow, give chase.”
Shadow and Lance disappeared at the same time.
Zi Yi threw out a circular ball at this moment.
The magnetic space field disappeared and the circular ball returned to Zi Yi’s hands.
Zi Yi and Runge reappeared in the control room.
The group of leaders looked at the two with frightened expressions. They were obviously shocked by their sudden disappearance and reappearance.
Runge had returned to his usual cold and unfeeling demeanor. He used his sharp eyes to do a sweep across the leaders.
“You… who are you?”
The leaders saw Major General Runge getting chased down and right now, this person who had the same appearance as the general dared to blatantly stand here in front of them.
The group of leaders was fearful and started to bluff.
“You two had better not mess around. We have the most advanced defense system installed here!”
“There are also the most powerful weapons and the both of you won’t be able to walk out of this door.”
“We have already activated the first level alert. You won’t be able to escape here today.”
“Do you see the infrared around you? As long as you dare to take a single step forward, you will be shot to pieces like a practice target!”
“Hmph!” Runge coldly snorted and the group of leaders was frightened to the extent that they all kept quiet.
On the other hand, Zi Yi laughed. She looked at Runge sympathetically and said, “These people can’t recognize their owner and even thought that the fake one was you instead. You’re pretty much a failure as a Major General.”
Runge quickly released a powerful and cold aura. He stared at the group of leaders standing in front of them as he said in a stern voice, “A group of lawless terrorists has appeared here and they are best at disguising themselves as the various leaders. The person you met earlier disguised himself as my cousin, Lance.”
The group of leaders felt their hearts palpitating.
Some leaders, on the other hand, wanted to refute his words.
Runge did not give them the opportunity to do so and continued to speak, “As a Major General, I would never make a trip down here for no reason. This place is under the Ministry of Science and Technology. Even if the military department wanted to make a trip here, they have to reveal the dispatch order issued from the higher-ups.”
Having said that, he took out a dispatch order from his pocket. The person who signed off the order was the king himself.
The person who they previously assumed to be the Major General Runge did not produce anything.
At the thought of this, the group of leaders felt a cold sweat trickling down their backs.
The person in front of them was the real Major General Runge.
After knowing they believed in his words, he wasted no time and immediately started issuing orders.
“Seal off all the news in here and delay the launch of the spaceship. Immediately arrest…”
All the leaders immediately followed his orders.
However, before they even had a chance to act on it, there was a sudden beeping sound from the screen in front. Shortly afterwards, a spaceship was reflected on the screen. Other than them, all the researchers and technicians took their positions.
“It’s no good, the technicians are going to launch the spaceship ahead of time.”
“Who gave them the order?!”
Runge subconsciously looked at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows and quickly tapped on her wristwatch. A virtual screen and virtual keyboard appeared at the same time.
All her ten fingers were quickly tapping on the keyboard as she said, “Someone is controlling the spaceship from inside. The launch can’t be stopped unless someone goes in to press the stop button.”
Everyone’s expression turned severe at the same time.
Runge said, “What do I need to do?”
Zi Yi was a little surprised. “You are planning to go inside?”
Runge said with a firm expression, “This spaceship is the combination of research results of Country D. I cannot let these criminals steal everyone’s hard work for themselves.”
Zi Yi did not say anything after hearing that.
She continued typing on the keyboard.
When the screen reflected several individuals tied up and hanging above a river, the group of leaders gasped.
“When did these people get caught?”
“Quick, rescue them! That river is filled with crocodiles and if they are thrown into the river, they won’t be able to survive!”
The group of leaders was so noisy that Zi Yi’s temples ached. She unhappily shouted, “Quiet!”
Everyone subconsciously quietened down. Immediately after, they realized that it was the woman who spoke earlier and they felt a little uncomfortable deep down inside.
Just then, Runge’s cold gaze swept past them and they swallowed their dissatisfaction.
Runge looked at the group of people who were at the river. All of them were his subordinates. He then said to Zi Yi, “What methods do you have to send me into the spaceship?”
Zi Yi did not even bother to look up and asked him, “You don’t plan to rescue your subordinates?”
“They can only rely on themselves to escape in that situation.” Runge’s tone of voice sounded very cold and unfeeling. However, compared to his subordinates, he felt that it was more important to prevent those people from stealing the spaceship.
It was really considered nothing to sacrifice a few people before national interests.
Even the group of leaders standing in front of them agreed with Runge’s decision.
Zi Yi did not continue to say anything else.
She continued tapping on the keyboard at a fast speed.
Sometime later, she said to Runge, “You can make your way over. My robot will meet you over there. However, you better hurry up. The hatch of the spaceship will close in half an hour’s time. Once the hatch is closed, it will immediately take off and you won’t be able to escape.”
Runge nodded his head and turned to leave.
At the same time, Zi Yi turned off the virtual screen and keyboard as she followed him outside.
The group of leaders who were inside the room finally reacted after the door closed.
After they made eye contact with each other for a split second, they started to act.
Zi Yi made her way to the kitchen’s ingredient room after she came out of the control room.
Qin Ze and Little Loli were currently there waiting inside.
At the sight of Zi Yi, Qin Ze hastily asked, “Zi Yi, what’s the current situation outside?”
Zi Yi did not answer him right away. Instead, she called out Shadow II and said, “Go prepare some food.”
After Shadow II left, Zi Yi explained to him what happened outside with a brief rundown.
Qin Ze furrowed his eyebrows. “So you’re saying that the motive of those worm races is to drive the most cutting-edge spaceship of Country D to leave Earth?”
“They are planning to look for raw materials in the Blue Giant.”
“Blue Giant!”
Qin Ze was shocked. “That planet is so huge and moreover, the temperature there is hundreds of times hotter compared to the sun. Country D has already managed to achieve the feat of landing on the Blue Giant?”
“They have already found a substance that shields them from the heat source. It’s not a difficult problem to travel there.”
“…!”
Zi Yi glanced at Qin Ze who had been intimidated by the news he had just learned. She touched her chin and said, “I’ve never even considered going to the Blue Giant to search for energy resources. Even though this type of energy resource is indeed good since it can generate heat and release energy by itself, its energy consumption is too much. It’s not suitable for space jumping. In particular, it would be very troublesome if the energy gets depleted when you enter a black hole.”
“…!”
Qin Ze swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. His voice trembled with excitement. “Zi Yi, then what kind of energy resource do you think can achieve the feat of allowing you to travel in space? Can spaceships really enter a blackhole and survive?”
