swelling it up that very day and stripping him of his meager courage.From then on, Huo Mingliang learned to endure. He just bent over and carried the stones, no longer daring to show any contempt for..."The ripples approached the space pirate who opened the hatch, earnestly saying..." But apparently, the other side didn't buy it. He didn't even use his energy weapon to threaten Ripples, but instead reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

Doudou had been waiting for this moment, and the instant the opponent raised their hand, she pounced. She wrapped her arms around the opponent's arm and then strangled the star pirate's neck.

With a sickening crack, the pirate's neck snapped and he collapsed to the ground.

The commotion here alerted the other two star pirates. They turned around and saw their fallen comrade, raising their hands to fire immediately.

Unfortunately, Doudou was faster than them. She had already entangled their energy beams with her own, preventing them from pulling the trigger. She used the same method to snap their necks.

The incident happened too suddenly, leaving the remaining hostages stunned.

Ripple took a beam gun, and found that it required fingerprint unlocking, otherwise the gun would just be scrap metal in her hands.

"Little Liu!"

Ripples summon their own superintelligence.

"Received, unlocking now! I've entered your fingerprint into it, this energy rifle is now only usable by you."

"Thanks!"

Ripples took the equipment and then turned to those who were preparing to leave, saying:

"I have alien plants helping me, you guys better find somewhere to hide without any help and wait for rescue."

"This is the pirates' territory, where can we hide"

Someone said dejectedly.

"Find it yourself! Hide well if you don't want to die!"

Ripple was too lazy to care about these people. She was the same age as them, how did she feel that these people were going to rely on her

Ripples finished her words and walked away without looking back. With Xiaoliu's help, she cleared a path with her beam gun, eliminating all the pirates stationed in the rear half of the pirate ship.

"Ripples, the Star Bandit leader has noticed that the spaceship's main control program has been tampered with. He is enraged and preparing to activate the ship's self-destruct device."

Little Six immediately reported to Ripple.

"Can you perform spatial jumps"

"Energy is fully charged, ready for spatial jump!"

"Perform a spatial jump, destination: the Central Star's spaceport!"

"Received! Beginning to pinpoint location, preparing for spatial jump! You better find somewhere to sit down!"

"Great!"

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire spaceship:

"Space jump preparations complete, countdown starting! Three, two, one!"

No matter how the pirate captain frantically tapped the stop cursor on the light screen, the jump couldn't be stopped. The next second, the spaceship swayed and vanished from its spot.

"Captain, they escaped"

The mecha team members immediately shouted.

"Start following!"

Peng Mo gritted his teeth and said, "There are at least half of the hostages still on the pirate ship!"

"

Initiate spatial jump tracking!

"

Another group of mech units from the Central Star was approaching Pomme's squad. They were on par with Pomme in terms of rank. After establishing communication, they asked:

Squad, what's the situation

The pirate ship must have gone mad, heading straight for the Central Star. They just made a jump through space, and I'm on their tail.

"Huh What's going on The pirate ship chose the Central Star's spaceport as its jump destination!"

"Pang Mo really got played, he didn't just walk into this trap willingly."

"All units return to Central Starport!"

At this time, the alarm at the central star's spaceport control center has already sounded:

"Alert! Alert! Alert! An unauthorized vessel has performed a space jump into our port. Please, all other vessels, evacuate the jump coordinates immediately!"

Then all the staff in the control center immediately sprang into action, their hands clicking on the light screen leaving afterimages as they moved with incredible speed to the location where spatial ripples appeared.

The pirate's spaceship suddenly appeared in the space where port workers had cleared a path.

"Alert! Alert! Alert! Pirate invasion! Pirate invasion! All departments, prepare for battle!"

The alarm from above Starport also reached the pirates' ship.

The pirate captain was furious. How could he have sailed into the Alliance's port It was like walking straight into a trap!

"Please be advised, this spacecraft has been space-locked and cannot perform a second spatial jump. It is also locked by heavy weaponry, making an effective counterattack impossible. Please do not resist futilely and surrender immediately!"

The cold mechanical voice echoed within the pirate ship, though it offered surrender.

Ripple's mouth twitched. This was clearly Xiao Liu's handiwork.

"Little Six, slow down a bit, remember to clean up after yourself, don't let anyone discover you."

"Received, finishing up!"

Little Six prided himself on being a super brain. How could other brains possibly catch up to him He had already erased all traces of his intrusion.

The pirate ship was surrounded, and as soon as the hatch opened, the first pirate emerged with his hands raised. The rest of the pirates had given up any hope of resistance and had already fled to the Alliance's core spaceport. They would be lucky to escape at all.

"Ripples, the Star Thief boss has transformed!"

Little Six said excitedly.

"Is he a beastman"

"Hmm!"

What breed

"Steeltail Lizard!"

Xiao Liu still has a wealth of information stored away.

"Then let's just keep it closed, so it doesn't scare anyone."

When Ripples finished speaking, she went to find the little companions who were hiding. Luckily, these people were afraid of being unsafe when separated, so they all huddled together. They just chose a storage room to hide in.

It was called a storage room, but it was fifty square meters big and accommodated everyone.

After the ripples went in, they were still startled, thinking that the star pirates had arrived.

"That's terrifying!"

Someone whispered softly.

How is the situation outside

"Didn't you hear it! The spaceship made a jump to hyperspace and landed at the central star's spaceport. Now they're probably discussing how to surrender. Let's just wait and see."

Everyone agreed to Ripple's proposal and then waited silently.

Half an hour later, the door to the compartment they were hiding in was opened again. This time, they saw Alliance military personnel.

The remaining hostages should all be here.

The warrior who opened the hatch said to Pomme beside him.

"Take attendance, verify identities, and then record a detailed statement."

Pang Mo scanned his surroundings and immediately ordered.

Yes, Captain!

Then Ripple and her friends were invited to the conference room at Star Harbor again.

Ripple is in high spirits, finally breaking through the story node and safely arriving at Central Star. Congratulations!

So she still had the heart to look around along the way. The Central Star Spaceport truly lived up to its reputation as the largest spaceport in Blue Planet, its area rivaling that of a W star. All kinds of spacecraft were parked in their designated positions.

She also saw a private docking port, with private spaceships parked there. It made her drool; the rich are so extravagant. She genuinely envied them!

Once everyone had entered the conference room, they were divided into several groups and called out one by one for questioning. This process was familiar, not the first time, so she remained calm.

Pang Mo, as the main person in charge of this mission, listened to the questioning process.

"Miss He Lianyi, please tell me what happened."

"Okay! I'm from the spaceship on planet Lante."

At this moment, Officer Lance of the Lanter Star Police Department had just received news that Ripple's spaceship had been hijacked by space pirates. While he was lamenting Ripple's unfortunate luck, a new message came in.oid looking out of place and too obvious. Felix helped with this as well."You got shot too."Ripple looked at the bullet hole in Gong Fan's chest and said."It's fine, I have a bulletproof vest, it's no...
