Chapter 55- The Capture of the Ship
Yuan Xi quickly knew the meaning of Ye Heng’s words.
They passed through customs safely and smoothly, boarded the starship, and after some inspection, the starship set sail smoothly towards the 9871-star field.
Due to the cargo loading, the starship that could have reached warp speed level 4 can now only hover at warp speed level 3, so the return journey time will be much slower.
It didn’t take long for them to exit the atmosphere of the commercial star, and then reach the extra-satellite safety zone, until now, Yuan Xi also had a faint guess at the bottom of his heart.
It seems that they were ready for an ambush in outer space!
They really underestimated their power, he originally thought that they were just forces located at the commercial stars, but at present, it seems that it is far more than that.
One must know that the Federation’s management of starships is very strict, whether it is the research and development of starships or their energy supply, they are very restricted. On one hand, this is for the unified management of the entire Federation, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid the outflow of science and technology.
After all, this is a great cosmic era, and hundreds of intelligent creatures have been discovered, although they are far behind humans in many aspects, their learning ability cannot be underestimated, if the foreign races develop enough to compete with the military power of the Federation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What does it imply that they dare to come to outer space to ambush them?
It means they have the power to conquer this commercial starship with ease!
Yuan Xi had been waiting, but even when the morning passed, things were still calm and carefree. The crew of this commercial starship is not much, they only had a bit more than twenty people, all of them are familiar veterans, and they have traveled these routes many times.
However, their combat power can only be average, there is no mecha configuration and no enemy destroyer patrol ship, the only feature of this commercial starship is that the cabin is large and the speed is considerable, but because it is in the federal security star field, as long as there are no major problems in operation, the journey would basically be peaceful.
Therefore, although the crew members on the starship were busy, their expressions were leisurely and comfortable, waiting for the end of this trip when they could receive their wages, and go home for a short vacation. This is their special case, federal law stipulates that the crew of a long-term voyage can take a three-day vacation at the end of each voyage.
Yuan Xi frowned and suddenly felt a little apprehensive, they were wearing the armor so he was not afraid of life and death, but what about these crew members? In case of an accident, will the bandits let them go?
When he thought of this, Yuan Xi’s lips couldn’t help but turn a little white.
Ye Heng didn’t speak, his face was expressionless, but he used the unique connection between the two armors to communicate with Yuan Xi.
“Yuan Xi, I can’t guarantee their lives 100%, but I will do my best to keep them alive.”
Yuan Xi’s body froze suddenly, and he suddenly realized that what he hadn’t discovered until now, Ye Heng might have known about it a long time ago. They have come to this point, and these twenty or so people are completely ignorant of the situation but they weren’t.
He only thought of punishing those scum who used banned drugs and endangered mankind, but he didn’t expect that because of this situation, it was not only them and those scum involved but also some innocent people.
However, there is no way back.
Yuan Xi was flustered in his heart, and he couldn’t help but ask Xiang Ye Heng, “Can we delay it…”
“I can’t.” Ye Heng didn’t let him finish his words at all.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Xiao-Xi, they can’t attack us in the Federation’s safe star field, according to my exploration of the current star field, the best place to rob us would be in the Somya meteorite area five hundred light years away as any accident there will not be an accident.”

“Tbe… Gb sbe wfjc atja atlr rtlq tjr jigfjvs yffc jwyertfv ys atflg qfbqif? ”
“Tfr.”
Tejc Wl’r ktbif ybvs afcrfv.
At this time, the change was abrupt.
A strong vibration followed by a sharp roar rang in the ears, and the sudden accident panicked the crew in the main control room.
Yuan Xi and Ye Heng’s identities are just ordinary businessmen, because they are employers who rent commercial ships, so they can stay in the main control room, but they don’t have any right to speak. If there is an accident, the only thing they can do is panic and question things.
The captain of this starship is a young man of about thirty years old, his name is Chodo, and he has been piloting this starship for three years, but because it is a short voyage, he has never encountered any major accidents, most of what he did encounter were nothing more than some minor accidents.
At the moment, the deafening sirens made him instantly pale in the face, unless there was a big problem with the starship, the alarm couldn’t be so loud and non-stop.
He gave orders quickly, and the information from the crew made his brain freeze.
“Captain, captain, our navigator was damaged, the starship’s course is out of control!”
Although Chodo’s heart was beating like thunder, fortunately, he was highly trained, and he reacted immediately, although a large bead of sweat fell on his forehead, he still gritted his teeth and ordered, “Quickly start emergency repairs, and immediately send a rescue signal to the nearest dock!”
After the order was issued, he still had the heart to comfort Ye Heng and Yuan Xi, “Esteemed gentlemen, please transfer to the escape pod immediately, we will do our best to…”
He didn’t finish the sentence when he was interrupted by the screams of another crew member, “Captain! Our communication equipment is broken, and we can’t get in touch with any of the docks!”
This sentence is like a bombshell that made all the crew members in the main control room panic- if the navigator fails, it means that they will get lost in space, but as long as there was communication equipment, there were many space docks in the star field of the Federation that would be able to get their message, it would just take some time, but they will definitely be rescued. Now the communication equipment is damaged!
Yuan Xi was very nervous in his heart, but fortunately, his expression was enough to pass on like an ordinary businessman who was worried and panicked… The clothes on his body were already wet with cold sweat.
In a panic, Ye Heng’s figure disappeared for a while, but then he returned to Yuan Xi’s side.
And the moment he returned, another bad news fell from the sky.
“The power system is damaged… The power system is damaged… The starship is no longer able to stop sailing…”
Chodo was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly unfolded the star map, and the ship’s sailing path jumped into his eyes, and this direction turned out to be straight towards the Somya meteorite area called the ‘Land of the Dead’!
How did this happen!? Chodo plopped and sat down in his chair- it was over, they were finished, the navigator was damaged, the ship could not stop sailing, and in the unpredictable space, just a meteorite was enough to turn the entire starship into powder.
Not to mention, they were entering that terrifying place!
At this time, the deputy captain of the commercial starship, Nuosen, stepped forward and said to Chodo with a sad face, “Captain, we should abandon the ship, there is other no way! If we enter the Land of the Dead, we will all die! ”
Hearing this, Chodo’s face was as white as paper.
While maintaining the emotion on his face, Yuan Xi quietly glanced at Nuosen, hoping that the overall situation had been decided, and Nuosen’s expression revealed his identity.
This one…… was a traitor!
Even Nuosen had doubts in his heart, he only destroyed the navigator and communication equipment, why was the power system damaged?
If the power system is damaged, the starship will be uncontrollable, and it will take more effort to capture it when the time comes, most importantly, he will not be able to stay on the starship any longer if he rushes into the meteorite area, it will be a dead end!
But they can’t care about it so much now, they have to leave this hellish place first.
As soon as Nuosen’s words came out, all the strength of Chodo’s body was drained, he was stunned for a while, and gave the final order, “Transfer the escape pod and prepare for the escape.”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Heng resisted violently, and he shouted, “No, no, you can’t do this, the goods here are all our assets, you can’t give up! Absolutely not!”
Hearing him say this, Yuan Xi immediately reacted and began to shout loudly as well, he made enough expressions, and his posture and expression did not show any flaws at all.
Chodo was stunned, he was the captain of the ship, so he naturally knew the value of this shipment, but what was more important than life at the moment?
Chodo persuaded Ye Heng and Yuan Xi, but no matter what he said, Ye Heng and Yuan Xi couldn’t listen to it at all, these were all their assets, these were their lives, and they would rather die than leave, and in the end, they even began to abuse Chodo and the crew.
In just half an hour, Chodo was already exhausted, and he directly ordered people to forcibly bring Ye Heng and Yuan Xi into the escape cabin.
Yuan Xi and Ye Heng resisted too fiercely so Chodo had to lock up the two of them alone, by this time, the panic on the captain’s face had completely disappeared, replaced by the perseverance of seeing death as home, Yuan Xi was cursing on his lips, but he sighed in his heart, he knew that this captain wanted to stay and die with his starship…
Chodo ordered all the crew members to enter the escape pod, but he subdued Ye Heng and Yuan Xi with violence, trying to send the two who were ‘crazy’ into the escape pod.
At this time, Nuosen looked at them with disdain, stepped into the escape pod, and broke away from the starship.
Some crew members wanted to help Chodo subdue Ye Heng and Yuan Xi, but they were all forcibly rejected by Chodo.
It wasn’t until all the crew members left that Ye Heng waved his hand and Chodo fainted.
Yuan Xi had been shouting until now so his voice was hoarse, and when he saw that Chodo had fainted, he stopped. He stepped forward quickly, helped Ye Heng send the unconscious captain into the escape cabin, and then pressed the escape button.
The huge spaceship, except for the urgent beeping, was empty.
Yuan Xi couldn’t help but be a little stunned.
Ye Heng held his hand and said, “We have done everything we can, they will survive.”
Yuan Xi nodded, by now he already knew that Nuosen destroyed the navigator and communication equipment, but the power system was destroyed by Ye Heng himself.
If it was only the damage to the navigator and communication equipment, Chodo and the others might not have given up on the starship, one must know that although the escape pod has some navigation facilities, it may take several months or even a year or more to fly to the nearest dock with that strange slow speed.
Staying in the starship, it is possible to repair the communication equipment, but what they don’t know is that by staying in the starship while waiting for the communicator to be repaired, the awaiting bandits will board the plane first.
When the time comes, these people, who have no use value at all, will never have a chance to live, and they will not even have a chance to resist.
Ye Heng damaged the power system so that in this way, since the danger was imminent, they would definitely give priority to escape, and would not want to continue to spend time repairing the ship. In this way, they would have escaped before the bandits snatched it, and they have a higher chance of survival…
And it won’t make the bandits suspicious, Ye Heng and Yuan Xi’s plan can continue.
Yuan Xi and Ye Heng were waiting quietly, and sure enough, when the starship was about to fly into the Suomya meteorite area, a powerful pulling force struck, shaking violently, causing chaos in the entire starship.
There was no place to settle down at all, Ye Heng held Yuan Xi in his arms, and said through the armor, “Turn on the coma mode.”
Yuan Xi understood, immediately activated, and his whole person fainted.
Of course, these are just illusions, his five senses are still extremely clear, and the so-called coma is just an illusion caused by the armor.
After an hour-long chaos, the starship finally came to a complete halt and appeared to have been successfully captured.
After another half an hour, the starship outside docked successfully, and the sound of footsteps came from Yuan Xi’s ears.
The people who came were all wearing masks, a total of more than a dozen people, the leader was a bumpy figure, tall and sexy, wearing tight purple clothes, her large chest was bulging out, she wore a very short skirt, and a pair of snow-white long legs were well-proportioned and straight.
Compared with her hot body, her facial features are slightly inferior, but her makeup is very heavy, and her red lips are bright as if she has drunk blood.
She saw Ye Heng and Yuan Xi who were ‘unconscious’ on the ground at a glance, raised her foot, kicked them, and said disdainfully, “It’s these two little white-faced people?”
A short man next to her immediately stepped forward, with a smile on his face, his eyes squinted, but his gaze at the woman was full of obscenity, “Yes, it’s these two boys, for the sake of those equipment, they refused to leave the starship. Do you want to deal with them first? ”
Miaron glanced at the short man in disgust, snorted, and said, “How would I deal with it? Should I let you, a lewd thief, have this task? ”
Bada smiled and said, “I’m good at this.” As he spoke, the dim eyes looked again and again at Miaron’s large breasts.
Miaron snorted coldly, kicked Bada hard in the lower body, and scolded, “Don’t you dare have any ideas about my body, don’t you dare look at me like that!!”
Bada shrank back in pain, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, but he immediately changed his expression and smiled.
Miaron didn’t bother to pay attention to him and moved her gaze to Ye Heng and Yuan Xi.
She walked over, leaned over slightly, pursed her lips, and said, “These two little guys, they look pretty good, wake them up for me first.”
A tall and strong man to her left and right stepped forward, and out of nowhere, he produced a stream of cold water and sprinkled it on Ye Heng and Yuan Xi.
The two of them turned off the coma mode and woke up faintly.
Welp someone wants an asswhoopin oh look volunteers
