As soon as the words were spoken, Ji You raised her hand and said forcefully, "Change course!"
Sheng Qingyan, covering her twitching face, changed the course of the spaceship while mumbling, "We’re doomed... The universe’s number one Little Cutie is about to die..."
Ji You turned around abruptly, and shouted, "Shut up!"
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Sheng Qingyan sniffled, slightly aggrieved, "You... you’re scolding me... You actually scolded me, how could you scold the universe’s number one Little Cutie..."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath, "Shut up!"
Sheng Qingyan pouted, "I really don’t want to die..."
At such a critical moment, everyone was keeping a straight face and trying hard to stay calm. But there was Sheng Qingyan, seemingly about to burst into tears, whining like a woman, as if about to throw a tantrum on the floor the next second. But her hands kept moving steadily and calmly every time she pressed a button, making one think she was just casually playing Candy Crush.
"I’m really afraid of dying."
"Only I, as the sole heir of the Sheng family, if I die, who will inherit Old Man Sheng’s fortune?"
"I still have several hundred billion in inheritance to spend, I really don’t want to die."
"The most important thing is that I don’t want to die with you impoverished people at all."
"I..."
Buzz buzz buzz...
More annoying than a mosquito, Ji You had a bit of a headache, she lifted her hand to rub her temples and yelled, "Shut up! With me here, you won’t die!"
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Where does she get the confidence?
Ji You loudly declared, "I am destined to be a king standing at the Peak of the Universe, I don’t believe I can’t get over this obstacle!"
"Cough cough..." Yue Qiyuan smirked and asked, "King, the bull is chasing us again, what should we do?"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You gritted her teeth, "Of course, we—"
"Run!"
"Damn! Sheng Qingyan, can you handle it? Why did it catch up again?"
"If you can’t do it, just say so!"
"Damn! Damn!"
"Speed up!"
"Speed up!"
"Aaaah!!! Left, avoid that small meteor!"
"Damn! I told you to avoid left, why did you hit it? You— if you want to die, don’t drag me down!"
"Damn! I don’t want to die with someone as annoying as you!"
"I despise the rich!"
...
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Sheng Qingyan shouted, "Shut up!"
Ji You didn’t listen, continued to scream, "Aaaah!!! Hang in there! Just hang in there!!!"
Sheng Qingyan grabbed her hair harshly, "Aaaah!!! You shut up!"
Ji You opened her mouth, "Ahead—"
Beside her, Xuzhou, who had been exceptionally calm, suddenly said, "Can you be quiet for a bit? I’m having a hard time controlling my hands—"—wanting to hit someone!
Ji You: "..."
Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, snickering, "Even Little Zhouzhou can’t stand your noise anymore."
Xuzhou: "You shut up too!"
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
"Ha ha ha..." Ji You slapped her thigh hard: "Just like my bushy-browed, big-eyed son Little Zhouzhou!"
Xuzhou: "..."
Xuzhou wanted to shut down.
As Sheng Qingyan and Xuzhou, steering the spaceship, crazily fled, Ji You, together with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and others, occasionally took the chance to fire shots while the spaceship advanced non-stop toward the first Checkpoint on the front line.
minute.
minutes.
minutes.
In this tough tug-of-war, everyone’s nerves were stretched to the limit, and the speed of the Sea Iron Bull also gradually slowed down. Gradually, it became invisible to the naked eye unless using a detector.
But!!!
Everyone knew it was still closely following behind, unwilling to let go.
Originally, this Sea Iron Bull was a dominant force on the planet it inhabited, seldom encountering any rivals. If not for the sudden change in the planet’s environment, it would not have willingly left to find a new home.
Then, while the Sea Iron Bull was halfway through its run, it was almost slaughtered by a group of people and barely escaped. It then encountered this mosquito, and just when the Sea Iron Bull was getting hungry, wouldn’t it eat the food that came to its mouth?
Moreover, the Sea Iron Bull bore grudges—it remembered that it was a group of creatures similar to this mosquito that had nearly slaughtered it, thinking both to satisfy its hunger and take revenge...
Unwillingly—
This mosquito had learned to escape too.
Every time it was about to be caught, it escaped again.
The Sea Iron Bull was furious!
Once furious, it lost its sanity and thought that no matter what, it must catch the mosquito and tear it apart viciously!
Then—
Unknowingly, the Sea Iron Bull had chased them to this point.
Ji You kept her eyes on the navigation map; the spaceship was now less than 30 minutes from the first Checkpoint on the front line, and the distance between the spaceship and the Sea Iron Bull was consistently maintained at a just-right safe distance.
Ji You’s tense eyebrows relaxed slightly as she turned to Shen Changqing and said, "Send out a distress signal and also truthfully report the details about the Sea Iron Bull."
There were 30 minutes, which should be enough for the warriors at the front line to make suitable arrangements.
Shen Changqing immediately proceeded.
Time ticked away—
As Ji You and others patiently waited, their distress signal received a response from the warriors stationed at the first Checkpoint.
The other party asked Ji You and her group to continue accelerating forward, maintaining a distance from the Sea Iron Bull, and that rescue would arrive in 15 minutes.
Having received an accurate response, the mountainous, ocean-deep, iron-like pressure in Ji You’s heart was reduced by more than half! She was even so happy she thought about doing a split and shaking her legs—
However—
Not having seen the rescue in person, Ji You only thought about it and dared not truly relax until a few Mechas emitting a stern gleam appeared ahead, Ji You immediately said, "Prepare for retreat—"
Among the rescuers, one warrior drove a Po Jun.
The bulky body of Po Jun, in his hands, seemed light as a feather. Without exchanging idle chatter with Ji You and others, the moment he appeared, he turned mid-air and kicked the Sea Iron Bull.
Caught off-guard, the Sea Iron Bull staggered all over and almost crashed into a passing meteor.
That strike! It instantly pulled the aggro, the Sea Iron Bull roared and turned to charge at the driver of Po Jun.
Ji You and her team, immediately got a chance to breathe, Ji You promptly said, "Retreat 100 kilometers! Exit the battle zone!"
As Po Jun landed a successful hit, behind Po Jun’s Mecha, two Mechas simultaneously fired, Particle Cannons blasted on the body of the Sea Iron Bull.
Crackle and Pop~
But, the Sea Iron Bull’s skin was thick and flesh tough, several Particle Cannons only burst its skin, and the driver of Po Jun seemed not at all disappointed with others attacking, and while attracting the attention of the Sea Iron Bull, he activated the full thrusters again, charging toward the Sea Iron Bull.
