The Starship Observation Deck is located on the second floor and covers an area of ​​approximately 300 square meters. It is constructed from a single layer of special glass material, giving people the feeling of being immersed in the starry sky. It is a great place for sightseeing.

With his familiarity with starships, Ryan quickly switched the monitoring screen to the observation deck using the floating keyboard.

After careful identification, the three found the one-eyed dragon Baker lying on the ground admiring the starry sky.

Ryan then performed another operation, splitting the surveillance video into two screens to show the scene from the command room to the observation deck.

Leng Ran roughly estimated that there were about twenty people on the starship, and their pirate ship was docked in the starship's temporary berthing area.

Upon seeing their ship, Leng Ran had a sudden inspiration: "Raine, can you pilot a pirate ship?"

Raine guessed Leng Ran's intention: "Yes, you want to hijack their ship?"

Leng Ran nodded: "Yes, after all, our ultimate goal is to leave here safely, so we need a means of transportation."

Cecilia raised her hand in agreement: "I support this idea, let's go together."

Leng Ran was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the seemingly weak eldest princess was actually an adventurous person.

Raine frowned, expressing his objection: "Your Highness, this is too dangerous. Let me go with He Xiting. I will come and pick you up after we've accomplished our mission."

“Raine, I don’t want to hide under your protection forever,” Cecilia said with a smile. “Besides, I trust the abilities of both of you.”

Renn tried to persuade him further: "Your Highness, about that incident from a few years ago, you..."

“Enough, Renn,” he interrupted coldly. “The eldest princess should never be a flower in a greenhouse, but a pillar of the empire.”

She turned to Cecilia, a carefree smile on her face: "Let's go together, Eldest Princess!"

Cecilia smiled brightly, and the whole room lit up: "Just call me Cecilia, thank you, He Xiting."

It's been so long since I've seen the eldest princess smile so happily. Have I done something wrong...?

A pang of sorrow gripped Renn's heart. He lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes.

"Rain? What's wrong?" Cecilia nudged Rain when she saw that he seemed distracted.

Hearing Cecilia's voice, Rein forced himself to stay alert: "Your Highness, I am fine."

Looking coldly at the surveillance video, he asked, "So, Cecilia, what's the battle plan?"

Raine: "He Xiting, you're the commander, so you make the decisions. We'll handle the execution."

"I'll take command? Sure, then there's only one option." Leng Ran looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"Kill him!"

Leng Ran pulled out three energy pistols from the three corpses and gave one to Cecilia and another to Ryan.

Cecilia, stunned as she held the gun, thought, "This is the first time I've ever held a gun..."

Leng Ran leaned closer and gave Cecilia a simple demonstration: "Pull the safety, aim, pull the trigger, bang! It's that simple."

Cecilia was very excited: "Great!"

Leng Ran connected with Rein's mental energy and left a mental coordinate on Cecilia to facilitate telepathic communication.

A clear route appeared in Renn's vision, leading first to the observation deck and then to the pirate ship.

Leng Ran: "I'll lead the way, Cecilia in the middle, and Renn at the rear."

-------------

The three of them stealthily followed the planned route, and Leng Ran and Raine dealt with all the pirates they encountered along the way. Leng Ran also acquired a rusty short dagger.

Watching the thin, cold-blooded man effortlessly slit the neck of the 1.9-meter-tall strong man with a dagger, Ryan went from initial shock and surprise to gradual numbness.

Are all the Federation's commanders this good at fighting now?

Compared to an adult male, Leng Ran's physique and appearance were so deceptive that Ren never thought Leng Ran was a lone soldier.

“We’ve arrived. Just open the door.” Leng Ran solemnly transmitted his voice to the two of them. “The observation deck is currently in viewing mode, with visibility approaching zero. You will need to rely on your mental vision.”

“Cecilia, it’s not convenient for you to move around in the dark, so stay here and wait. If there are intruders, just shoot.”

Cecilia nodded to indicate that she understood. Rein was a little worried, but when he thought that Leng Ran would be in charge and keep a close watch on the surrounding dangers, he felt a little relieved and followed Leng Ran into the observation deck.

The two covered their eyes with their mental energy, gaining the ability to see in the dark, and then quietly pushed open the door and entered.

Leng Ran communicated mentally: "The target is at three o'clock. The explosive controller is on his waist. I'm controlling it with my mental power. You make the move. One shot is all it takes to kill him."

Ryan replied: "Received."

Beck remained motionless in the darkness, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

With a cold, concentrated mental force, like a sword, he pierced straight into Beck's mental sea. Raine aimed at Beck's head and decisively pulled the trigger!

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the energy bullet struck Baker precisely in the back of the head, causing a trickle of blood to gush out!

One shot to the head!

“Something’s not right…” Leng Ran’s brows furrowed. Her mental energy was like hitting a ball of cotton, without causing any ripples!

What's even more deadly is that Beck's life force shows no signs of weakening!

Raine and Leng Ran's eyes met, their expressions filled with shock.

Beck slowly turned around, his face now contorted and ashen, covered in dense scales.

Her cold gaze froze instantly; this was someone she knew all too well.

Zombies.

In interstellar terms, Beck was already in stage four of the Blood Scaly Disease, and had completely transformed into a non-human creature.

Ryan was also taken aback by this scene. He gripped his gun tightly and watched Baker's movements warily.

Baker suddenly grinned and said in a hoarse, deep voice, "Hello, kids."

His calm and composed expression cracked completely at that moment.

In her past life, she killed tens of thousands of zombies and had never seen any zombie that could speak human language!

No wonder he's emitting a life force after his transformation! What on earth is going on?!

With a cold and grave expression, he quickly issued the order: "Raine, take Cecilia and escape. Hijack the pirate ship. Move out immediately!"

"Then what will you do?" Rein instinctively didn't want to leave the commander alone in such a dangerous place.

"I'm your commander now! Execute orders!" The coldness carried a hint of anger. "If you don't want to die, listen to me!"

Without further hesitation, Renn turned and rushed toward the observation deck gate.

Baker smiled sinisterly: "Since you're here, leave your flesh and blood behind."

In his mental vision, a shadow with a faint blue light suddenly flashed before Renn's eyes. The strange blue light seemed to possess a certain mystery, causing his mind to relax unconsciously.

He stopped in his tracks, his gaze drawn to the blue hue, as if hypnotized as he watched it draw ever closer.

"Wake up, Renn!" A cold voice, imbued with mental power, exploded in Renn's ears, jolting him awake from his daze like a thunderclap.

He snapped back to his senses and saw Leng Ran already standing in front of him, the dagger in his hand meeting a pair of long, blue claws, making a screeching sound.

Leng Ran gritted her teeth and shouted, "Go! I'll hold him off!"

Leng Ran was in a bad mood. Not only was Beck incredibly strong, but his mental strength was also remarkable. Leng Ran had to do his best to create a mental protective shield in the minds of the three of them to prevent anyone from being controlled by Beck again.

Leng Ran's mental energy was being depleted rapidly, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.

Rein realized he had just been mind-controlled, quickly regained his composure, and rushed towards the door!

He absolutely had to seize the spaceship so they could escape!

However, just as Renn was about to rush out the door, a sound of metal breaking came.

"Kacha——"

Leng Ran's rusty dagger ultimately lost out in the confrontation with Baker.

It broke completely in two and fell into darkness.
