Jin opened his mouth in the back and said hollowly, “What do you mean… ejected?”
Chu Si’s gaze fell on Room 3, which had only a metal shell left, and replied, “Literally, some mentally challenged stutterer swept Sa’e Yang off his feet and ejected him out along with the room.”
Jin: “……….then did he know? Was he mentally prepared before being ejected?”
Chu Si glanced at him: “Do you think this idiot would ask for other people’s consent before ejecting them?”
“That is to say, if he was taking a bath or sleeping…” Jin silently covered his face and wailed, “Do you think he’ll be angry? I’m a little scared.”
Ding—
“I’m scared too.”
“You still have the face to say that?” Chu Si said.
Ding—
“This can’t be blamed on me, the separation of my main body is a serious injury, I’ve been injured, a slow reaction is normal and should be forgiven.”
Chu Si laughed coldly. “Save your explanation for Sa’e Yang, see if he forgives you.
Ding—
“According to the analysis of a sufficient amount of sample data, being ejected into space with the absence of a landing site is basically goodbye forever. The probability of me meeting him again is approximately equal to 0.00000000010529.”
Chu Si said, “Even if you add another ten thousand zeros, it’s not much use. He wouldn’t be Sa’e Yang if his behavior could be predicted by normal logic and common sense.”
To be honest, even Chu Si couldn’t predict how Sa’e Yang would react, whether he would be enraged, or whether he would turn his anger on others.
If he could be predicted, then he wouldn’t be Sa’e Yang anymore.
He frowned and thought about it, pulling out his communicator and finding the message Sa’e had sent him earlier.
He scrolled up and down twice, and clicked reply:
Awake yet? Don’t you think something is wrong with your surroundings?

With his nudge, Chu Si’s finger poked “send”.
Chu Si: “…”
Great, pouring oil on the fire.
Without saying a word, he turned around and headed for the surveillance center. “SkyEye, don’t withdraw the cloaking shield, point the lookout camera at target 9501.”
When they reentered the surveillance center, the big screen had already pulled up a clear view of 9501, with a bunch of preliminary measured data values listed next to it.
It was a chicken-heart-shaped fragment of the planet, twice the size of their original black cedar forest, surrounded by hills and woodlands.
“Fort Barney is in this piece that shows up in black.” Chu Si’s finger drew a circle on a huge black spot somewhere in the center.
“The whole fragment will enter the alpha zone in two minutes, and our entry will be bumpy due to the gravitational field. The dragon pillar’s pseudo-gravity and the orbital-rotation balance system will readjust itself.”
His finger traveled along the edge of the fragment again, stopping at a small tail at the base of the chicken heart. On the lookout map, it looked like a tiny peninsula. “We’ll take advantage of the fluctuations to disembark from here. The central dragon pillar has the weakest sense of this place. We can minimize the commotion, and if Fort Barney is really occupied, no one will easily notice.”
Jin nodded: “Alright, we’ll listen to you! I’ll go pack my things.”
With two minutes to spare, they looked like two men who had gone to rob a bank, rummaging through the guards’ closets to find bags and sweeping things in.
Food, finger flashlights, portable weapons, medicines, handheld guiding devices, energy circuits…
As soon as Jin put the small mop under his arm and the big bag on his back, he rushed to the hatch.
He watched as Chu Si wrapped a shrunken version of the grappling cable around his wrist and snapped a black wristguard-like thing with a row of sockets to the wrist of his other hand.
Chu Si stuffed a row of metal capsule-like things into the sockets one by one, then tilted his head while carrying his black bag: “Let’s go.”
Jin: “…” You didn’t need to look closely to know that the row of metal capsules had something to do with a bomb.
The navy uniform worn by the prison guards didn’t look like an ordinary uniform at all on Executive Chu, but seemed to be custom-made somewhere, making his body look slender and straight.
He put on a gentle face of ‘going on vacation’, but what he was really doing was ‘blowing up the fort’, so incompatible that people didn’t dare look more…
Ding—
“The target is entering the alpha zone, the hatch has been opened, the connector is in place, things will be very bumpy, I wish you a good— good— good—”
SkyEye’s jam seemed to be urging them forwards, and the two of them experienced the long-lost feeling of suffocation as soon as they exited the hatch. Even though there was an air displacer hanging by their ears, it wasn’t as good as the prison oxygen generation system.
“So fucking bumpy!” Jin yelled.
The fragment where Fort Barney was located was shaking violently, like a plane passing through turbulence, which also affected them.
The mentally challenged system was finally smart for once. Because it’s cloaking shield was not yet removed, it secretly stretched out a ‘leg’, and clamped the huge fragment of Fort Barney and the small fragment of Chu Si and the others. Then the two legs retracted towards the middle…
The moment the edge of the small fragment and the Fort Barney fragment collided and the two sides of the dragon pillar’s protective shields met, the lurching sensation got heavier.
The two struggled to maintain their balance and moved with difficulty to where the two fragments collided.
The connection happened to be a long, prominent line of rock, like a natural single-plank bridge.
Chu Si lifted his foot to walk on the one-way bridge, seemingly completely unconcerned about the ten thousand feet of starry sky below him.
“No, no, no, no, wait!” Jin grabbed him, “I’ll go first, she can grab my clothes and walk behind me, you help me watch her at the back.”
He spoke as he pointed to the small mop.
“Hurry!” Chu Si didn’t care and took a step to the side as he pushed Jin forwards.
“You know what, I’m fucking afraid of heights—” Jin cried out, on the verge of tears, but his feet didn’t stop.
For those who were afraid of heights, crossing this bridge was probably equivalent to dying, especially since the bridge was still lurching up and down.
The moment Jin stepped onto the bridge, he plopped down on his knees, not caring about his image, and crawled forward on his hands and feet.
Chu Si: “…”
Although the little mop couldn’t speak, it seemed that she didn’t feel any fear at all. She grabbed Jin’s pants and walked forward with no expression.
Even Chu Si was taken aback by her appearance.
Fortunately, the bridge, which was narrow for an adult, was wide for a small mop. Her center of gravity was low, and she could move more stably than Jin.
Chu Si followed on the bridge.
The moment Jin reached the other side of the bank, he let out a long sigh of relief and almost sat down on the ground. He threw his backpack at his feet, freeing his hands to catch the small mop and pull her to the other side.
Just as Chu Si was about to land, the backpack placed by Jin’s feet was jolted and slipped, falling along with some gravel at the edge.
“Ah…” Jin subconsciously shouted.
Chu Si suddenly lowered his body, and his ring finger just caught the backpack strap.
As a result, the backpack pulled him down and he fell.
Chu Si: “…” Was this bag fucking stuffed with a villa?
The most terrible thing was that the moment he fell, the bridge lurched.
The entire stone bridge shook, and Chu Si was knocked directly down.
Chu Si’s pupils shrank, but he felt a cold hand wrapped around his wrist.
Chu Si froze, tilted his head to look, and saw that the little mop who never said a word was tugging at his wrist, her big, slithery eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
Her strength, so strong that he was surprised, simply not like an ordinary person’s. But what surprised him, even more, was that the little mop actually took the time to show him a smile, gritting her teeth with all her strength…
This little brat smiled like she wanted to eat people.
Unfortunately, she didn’t smile for a long time, because she slid down with Chu Si, even pulling along the big mop.
The fragment tilted slightly amidst the bumps, and the string of three people slid down towards the edge little by little.
Chu Si: “…”
Little Mop: “…”
Jin: “…”
Fuck.
Need to find out Little Mop’s name ><
