Interstellar Orphanage Cultivates Bai Ze Cubs to Be Omniscient and Omnipotent
Chapter 72 Chaos, Countdown to Self-Destruction!
The federal frigate, which had just captured the space pirates and was about to return, suddenly started beeping alarms on its instruments, indicating that it was on the same starship it had just been on.
The captain immediately tried to contact the starship, but found that he could no longer reach it.
He ordered the scanning system to be deployed, which detected unusual activity on the starship and immediately issued a warning.
Upon hearing the sound, the space pirates knew they had been exposed. They quickened their pace, waving away the black mist, and were about to grab the cubs.
"Ah Li, hurry!" Wen Ze rammed into the space pirate, giving Xiao Li a chance to escape. He transformed into his beast form and bit the space pirate's thigh.
"Damn!" The space pirate hadn't expected the cub's teeth to be able to pierce his flesh. He staggered for a moment before forcefully shaking it off.
At this moment, Wen Ai only regretted that he did not have an offensive ability. He could not care about that now. He transformed into his beast form, released his ability to slow down the space pirates' senses, and at the same time activated his beast core to enlarge his size and rush towards them.
Several cubs were scurrying around on the starship. Wenze spotted the escape alarm device on the starship and slapped it with his claws. The piercing alarm and the spraying water enraged the space pirates, who wanted nothing more than to capture them to vent their anger.
In the control room, the space pirates held the captain hostage, forcing him to sail towards the Sunken Land. Under their control, the captain broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that the Sunken Land was a dangerous star field, filled not only with lawless space pirates but also with countless spatial rifts and unknown cosmic creatures. Once inside, survival was almost impossible.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and despite his hands being bound, his foot quietly touched a hidden control panel.
"You space pirates, don't even think about using Federation starships for your nefarious purposes!" the captain suddenly roared, pressing down a hidden button on the control panel with all his might.
This button is a self-destruct mechanism for emergencies. Once activated, the escape pods in each compartment will open, and the starship will self-destruct ten minutes later. He would rather perish with the space pirates than let the starship fall into their hands.
The space pirates noticed the captain's unusual behavior, and one of them immediately rushed to the control panel, trying to stop the self-destruct program from starting. However, the captain had already locked the self-destruct program, and it could not be stopped without his biometric identification.
"You idiots!" the lead pirate roared. "We have to get out of here quickly. We must evacuate the starship within ten minutes!" He knocked the captain unconscious with a single blow, pried open his eyelids to scan his iris, and continued to try to terminate the command. The other pirates were driven out by him to search for escape pods.
The captain of the Federation frigate learned through the scanning system that the starship's self-destruct program had been activated. He immediately gave the order: "Full speed ahead, prepare for rescue operation!"
Outside the command room, the cubs heard the escape warning. They stopped fighting the space pirates, ran to their cabins, opened their escape pods, and prepared to flee the starship.
"Quickly, get in!" Wen Ze urged anxiously. He knew time was of the essence, and the escape pods were their only hope.
"And what about you?" Leng Fan grabbed his hand and refused to let go.
"I'm going to find Teacher Wen!" Taking advantage of Leng Fan's inattention, he pushed him into the escape pod, pressed the escape button, took one last look at them, and left without looking back.
The escape pod ejected from the starship and flew into the depths of space.
"Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze! Survive!!" Leng Fan and the others shouted a few times, and then uncontrollably inhaled the sleeping spray and fell asleep in the escape pod.
Meanwhile, the Federation escort ship rapidly approached the starship, preparing for rescue. The captain issued a final warning to the starship via communications: "Attention all personnel on board, a rescue operation is imminent. Please remain calm! Please remain calm!"
The space pirates frantically searched for a way to escape on the starship. Their eyes were bloodshot, their breathing was rapid and disordered, and they kicked open the doors of one cabin after another, dividing up the escape pods.
These normally ruthless space pirates now disregarded rules and morality, swarming towards the limited number of escape pods, tearing and shoving at each other, all for a chance to grab a spot. The scene was utter chaos, with shouts and curses mingling together to create a symphony of despair.
The self-destruct sequence on the starship had begun its countdown, and Wen Ai searched everywhere for the cubs.
He was frantic with worry, ignoring the chaos and danger around him, looking around anxiously for the cub. Time ticked by, but there was still no sign of the cub, and Wen Ai's heart sank to the bottom.
Just then, the Federation escort ship successfully docked with the starship, and the rescue team quickly boarded to begin searching for survivors. They knew that every second was crucial; they had to get everyone off the soon-to-be-destroyed starship as quickly as possible.
Rescue personnel moved swiftly through the starship, leaving no corner unchecked. Upon seeing the escort team, Wen Ai rushed forward as if grasping at a straw, urgently asking, "Have you seen the four cubs? Two are humanoid, one is a weasel, and one is a long-tailed pheasant?"
He wanted to continue his search, but was forcibly taken away by the guards.
“No,” Wen Ai struggled, his voice echoing through the starship’s corridors, “I must find them, I cannot abandon any of the cubs!”
The escort gripped Wen Ai's shoulders tightly: "We won't abandon any life, but right now the most important thing is to ensure your safe evacuation. The starship is about to explode; we must leave immediately!"
A flicker of despair crossed Wen'ai's eyes, but he knew the captain was telling the truth. His limbs felt weak, and he was overwhelmed with grief.
They made their way through the chaotic corridors, avoiding the space pirates who had scattered in all directions.
By this time, few escape pods remained, and most of the remaining ones had been occupied by space pirates. The escort team quickly assessed the situation and decided to use their rescue ship for evacuation. They opened the starship's emergency hatch, revealing the Federation frigate's rescue ship docked nearby.
"Quickly, get on the rescue ship!" the captain commanded, and the guards acted swiftly to help Wen Ai and the other survivors board the rescue ship.
Just as they were about to leave, Wen Ai suddenly saw a familiar figure—Wen Ze, who was running towards them at high speed, followed by a menacing group of space pirates.
"Xiao Ze—!" Wen Ai shouted, ignoring the guards' attempts to stop her, and tried to rush towards Wen Ze.
"Teacher!" Wen Ze's eyes lit up, but faced with the rescue ship at a considerable distance and the constantly ringing countdown, he chose to retreat.
Only after he leaves can Teacher Wen return safely.
"Wen Ze! What are you doing! Come here!" Wen Ai shouted desperately, her face flushed.
"Goodbye, Teacher Wen~~" He turned back with a smile, his eyes bright, and rushed towards the space pirates without hesitation!
