Knock knock knock——
Lu Li knocked on the metal door.
At first, he didn't want to disturb other people's happy conversation time, and planned to go to the cockpit alone to have a drink with the captain and talk about where the spacecraft should go next.
However, the topic suddenly turned to himself.
Frankly speaking, Lu Li didn't like being discussed, even if there was no malicious attack.
"Brother Lu? The first time I met him was in a club in Kabukicho. The place specializes in nostalgic style, and the girls are better than each other..."
When a security guard who had completed the restoration opened the door, Lu Li saw the big Roger who was talking about the past.
He was holding a can of beer that he got from somewhere in one hand and supporting his body with the other. A slender female engineer sat opposite him.
Although Colleen is not short, sitting in front of a strong man who is two and a half meters tall does make her look particularly weak.
"Why are you here? We just talked about you, the hero who saved the whole ship."
At this time, Roger stood up and gave Lu Li a bear hug.
Lu Li's eyes lingered on his arm for a moment. The size was suitable and the sensitivity seemed to be acceptable.
Thinking of this, I felt a lot more at ease.
"I just finished my work and wanted to take a walk."
After speaking, Lu Li met Miss Colleen's smiling gaze and nodded in greeting.
A shy, kind, and technically sound engineer.
The above is all Lu Li's impression of her.
"Everyone is very interested in you, especially Miss Colleen." Roger dragged Lu Li to sit down.
Surrounded by four cybernetic security guards were some injured people who had just put on prosthetic bodies and stayed here to listen to the story.
In fact, listening to stories is secondary, the main thing is to stay here and be safe.
Well... with the arrival of Lu Li, it has become safer.
"Me? I'm a high school student. I just opened the gene lock by luck. There's nothing to discuss."
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
If the situation hadn't been urgent, Lu Li wouldn't have even wanted to take action, or he would have stepped up his strokes to prevent the news from spreading to the outside world and attracting the attention of unknown people.
Of course, when he was dealing with the drone aliens, he also kept his hands open and did not use bone spurs. After all, it was too shocking.
And Roger, who was lucky enough to have seen this scene, was not an idiot as he said, he knew what could be said and what must be kept secret.
On the side, seeing that Lu Li didn't want to say anything, Miss Colleen's face flashed with a trace of disappointment, and several security team members saw this and couldn't help but persuade him.
In addition, Roger was helping to talk, so Lu Li couldn't help but not speak up. This would make him look out of place, so he simply advertised for Miss Kamio's club.
At the beginning, Lu Li vividly talked about the special performances there, such as King Qin's Formation Breaking Music, Western Region Hu Xuan Dance...
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he discovered the cruel fact that not everyone was as interested in ancient history as Miss Kamio.
Therefore, I can only change my strategy and talk about how beautiful and enthusiastic the girls there are, and there are a lot of delicious food to enjoy.
This time, many people are interested. After all, people who engage in this kind of high-risk, high-reward work like to indulge themselves after completing the task.
As for whether everyone present was qualified to enter such a high-end club, Lu Li did not mention it——
After changing into a prosthetic body and becoming a modified person, there is a high probability that there will be no chance.
In addition, maybe because he was too deeply involved in the drama, he automatically got into the mindset of shareholders. Lu Li thought that the people sitting here were not all men. He originally planned to say that there were also cowboy services, with feminine and sunny temperaments, and various types of handsome guys. Everything you need.
But looking at Miss Colleen's harmless face, he felt it was better not to say anything.
A young, beautiful girl needs to talk to a cowherd?
What a joke.
"Mr. Lu is very knowledgeable about ancient history?"
Miss Colleen hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Actually, I am very interested in what happened during that period. I often went to the library to read relevant materials during college."
Like Miss Kamio?
Lu Li was a little surprised as to why he always met artistic young women.
However, looking at her timid look, it really didn't look like she was faking it.
"It's not really research, just some understanding. If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Ichiban Street in Kabukicho in Flowing Light City. There are the most authentic Tang Dynasty song and dance performances there."
Just as the two were about to have an in-depth conversation, the announcer above their heads rang:
"Urgent notice, due to major changes during the mission, the Fire is about to change its voyage. All crew members who are able to move please go to the cockpit to participate in the meeting."
Lu Li put away the smile on his face and became serious. He had finally waited for this moment. It was not that he had not thought about the future fate of the Fire.
First of all, it is impossible to continue the exploration mission to the deserted star. Secondly, it is unrealistic to return home. Finally, it is best not to dock in nearby living galaxies.
So, has the captain decided where to go?
Lu Li still believed in Lin Xiuyi. After all, this man had proven his position with practical actions and showed everyone his decisiveness.
"Let's go, but leave two team members to take care of the seriously injured."
After finishing speaking, Roger pointed at the two of them casually, and they had no objections and happily accepted it.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Roger or Lu Li said that they would take them to hunt the last alien, these four survivors would not frown.
"I hope there won't be any more accidents next." Miss Colleen muttered quietly as she followed the crowd.
When Lu Li heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Especially after arriving at the cockpit, we intuitively felt the damage caused by the aliens. When the collective inspection was conducted in the restaurant, there were hundreds of people present, but now only about 20 people were able to attend the meeting.
"It's great to see so many people here."
After a short period of self-adjustment, Lin Xiuyi returned to normal. At least in the eyes of others, he still looked like he was in control of the overall situation.
"As we just said on the radio, we need to find a place to dock, seek asylum from the Alliance, and expose Roche Bio's role in this incident."
As soon as these words came out, they resonated with everyone present. The company was responsible for their current situation.
Every wrongdoer has his head, and every debt has his own owner.
If not for the high-level instructions, might Fire have rebelled? A three-year-old child wouldn't believe it if the system failed.
"So, where to go?"
An engineer on crutches asked. He broke his left leg in the alien attack. Although he had a prosthetic body, he still had difficulty adapting to it in a short period of time.
"Turn to the north."
Lin Xiuyi did not hide anything and expressed his long-planned plan, "Number 100 before Nemesis, those planets are directly under the alliance, no matter which one they are, as long as we arrive, our safety is guaranteed."
After the Fire left the airport, it kept driving towards the south of the galaxy, because there were a large number of unexplored planets there, while the north had already been developed. It could even be said that the farther north the planets were, the more advanced their technology was.
Because of this, Lin Xiuyi decided to turn around and seek refuge in the north, where order was better.
"I have no objection."
"No objection."
As soon as the words fell, many people immediately agreed with the decision. They were like frightened birds, worried about the danger from the inside and afraid of being silenced by the company.
To be honest, all the things that happened on the Tinder have ruined the credibility of the capitalists. No one dares to overestimate the integrity of these people.
And Luo Che Biology did not disappoint. Three battleships are ready to go.
In order not to attract attention, they docked at different airports. Some announced that they were going to perform escort missions, with two heavy cargo ships as cover, while others claimed that they had just completed repairs and needed to take engineers for a deep space flight. Circle to see where there are still problems.
Coupled with some public relations tactics, all news media ignored the incident.
Fortunately, because of his rich experience, Lu Li did not hesitate to speculate on capitalists with the greatest malice.
He looked at the captain standing on the center console, stating his views, and hesitated many times.
This scene fell in Dr. Amy's eyes, and she couldn't help but come over and ask in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Luo Che Biology has learned a lot of inside information. Do you think they will let the Fire Type escape safely?"
At this moment, Lu Li didn't know that he had been designated as a research object by the biological company, but he knew how tempting aliens were to capitalists.
Alien life.
There are endless possibilities for alien life.
As long as any company can research it thoroughly, it can easily increase its stock price and become an industry giant.
It just so happened that Dr. Amy had received instructions from the company and knew those people's desire for aliens.
Looking back now, it feels ridiculous. She was actually moved by the price offered by the top management at that time, and planned to persuade the captain not to destroy this creature, but to imprison it.
"I guess that at this moment, a combat ship has set off from the port and is following the trajectory and using the most advanced exploration instruments to search for the Fire."
Having said this, Dr. Amy looked depressed.
Because she was too familiar with the company's business style, her hopes that she had finally raised were shattered again by Lu Li's reminder.
Behind the two of them, Miss Colleen, who was inexperienced in the world, interjected: "Why should we think of the worst? Perhaps those incidents are just the personal behavior of some high-level officials. What if the board of directors finds out about the news and tries to make amends? ?”
"Haha." Dr. Amy seemed to have heard a cold joke.
Lu Li was speechless for a while and thought to himself: Sister, you are still too young.
"Society is dangerous." Roger had a good impression of Miss Colleen and couldn't help but mention: "Lu Li once said something, which I think makes sense."
"Capital comes into the world, dripping blood and filth from every pore from head to toe."
Hearing this, a look of sudden realization flashed across Miss Colleen's face, as if she understood something.
Lin Xiuyi, who was scanning the audience, noticed this small group and did not interrupt their conversation, still speaking inspiring words.
"After we get through this crisis, we will live a huge compensation life, find a planet where we can see sunlight and natural creatures, and live a comfortable retirement life."
"Actually, the most difficult stage has passed. All potential patients have been exposed and eliminated. Now there is only a stunted little monster left hiding in the back cabin of the spacecraft, lingering..."
Having said this, Mr. Lin Xiuyi looked at Lu Li below and said with a smile, "In addition, we have Mr. Lu Li, Mr. Rhodes, and reliable security team members."
Lu Li was a little confused when his name was suddenly called. He actually wanted to say:
Mr. Captain, the stunted little monster in your mouth has grown up. Not only that, but with intelligence, it is likely to continue to evolve into unknown areas and become increasingly troublesome.
At the same time, Dr. Amy, who was standing on the left, had a bad look on her face. No one else knew the inside story, but she was different after having entered an abandoned medical cabin——
Most of the white alien that had not had time to deal with had been chewed up and became food for the premature baby.
The Chestbreaker quickly grows into a drone by devouring its host. By analogy, what will happen if it eats a higher-quality Alien No. 1?
As soon as she thought about it, she became more and more desperate, and the idea of escape came into her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.
On the Fire Seed, Lu Li had to protect many people, and there was a high possibility that he would have no time to take care of them. But after entering the escape cabin, he had fewer targets to take care of.
In addition, the only remaining alien was in the rear cabin, making it almost impossible to enter the escape cabin.
Last but not least, the escape capsule has a small target and is not easily discovered by the company.
"I will do my best to protect everyone and fulfill my duties until I reach a safe area."
Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Lu Li made a promise, while Roger and the other two security personnel also straightened their waists to express their attitude.
"Then please."
Mr. Lin Xiuyi bowed.
"Everyone, please go back and rest first. I promise that I will take everyone to a safe area."
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Roger, and Dr. Amy are staying for now."
In this way, the group meeting ended, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Their mood was much better than before. There was some encouragement from the captain, but more of it was self-reflection.
Optimism is better than despair.
It is worth mentioning that the female engineer Miss Colleen did not choose to leave, she seemed to have something to say.
Mr. Captain did not drive her away. He also expected the other party to be of great use, so he allowed this harmless girl to attend the meeting by default.
After the hatch was closed, Lin Xiu got straight to the point and said, "Everyone, the actual situation on the ship is not as optimistic as I said."
"You must know it in your heart."
Seeing him being so frank, Lu Li gained some confidence. The future was gloomy, but as long as there was no internal trouble and the decision-makers kept their heads clear, there was still hope.
"So, what are your plans?"
Roger talks fast.
"I would like to ask Mr. Lu Li, what did you find when you went to the back cabin to search for the alien...?"
In the case of internal and external troubles, it is natural to give priority to solving internal problems.
"To be honest, I encountered it when I was returning from receiving a request for help..."
The narrative voice sounded.
The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
The pilots who acted as backdrops felt their throats tighten and swallowed silently.
