The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1576: Chapter 1576: Purge

Ji You’s pupils contracted. At that moment, she almost thought she was going to die. Without thinking, she shrank back into the sofa, closed her eyes, and turned herself into a complete salted fish.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

The roaring sound, seemingly echoing in her ears, continued. What exactly happened outside the spaceship, Ji You dared not be curious about.

The six people sitting in the spaceship’s lobby playing cards all threw their cards in that instant, held their heads, and squatted on the ground.

That heart-shattering feeling of palpitations invaded everyone within the spaceship. The entire spaceship fell into a deathly silence. Ji You even felt she couldn’t sense her own heartbeat or breathing...

Perhaps a long time passed, or maybe just a moment. When Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao and others felt their weak bodies finally regained a bit of strength, she raised her head from the sofa and looked outside the window. She saw a crooked seam suddenly appear in the originally pitch-black starry sky, as if it had been split into two halves out of thin air. A dazzling light projected from the split seam, and just a brief glance at the light made Ji You’s scalp tighten.

She quickly averted her eyes.

The seam appeared very close to Ji You, but in reality, it was far away. At least, according to the speed of the spaceship they were on, it would take about 30 minutes to reach it. Of course, this was just Ji You’s estimation and would need to be tested later.

”Is that the Space Rift?” Yue Qiyuan’s eyes flickered slightly. He couldn’t quite believe that he had actually witnessed the opening of a Space Rift with his own eyes.

Yue Qiguang stood beside his twin brother, raised an eyebrow, and said, ”Is this really the Space Rift? Tch! It’s just so-so.”

Shen Changqing heard the words, slightly speechless, and looked at Yue Qiguang, then whispered, ”This is the Space Rift. Do you know what the earth-shattering roar just now was? That was the sound resulting from different dimensional spaces colliding with each other. Where we’re currently standing is precisely the location calculated with precision by countless Masters of Space Science. Here, we can enter the Space Rift first when it opens and be spared from the intense space fluctuations causing harm. But—”

Shen Changqing used a transitional word.

Sheng Qingyan, who usually didn’t like to understand these things, snorted, ”What?”

Chu Jiaojiao hurriedly said, ”Speak!”

Ji You also looked at Shen Changqing. Shen Changqing opened his mouth, looked at the violently changing starry sky outside the window, took a deep breath, and said, ”But what is attracted by the opening of the Space Rift isn’t just us humans, there are also—”

”Star Beasts.” Liu Fufeng said this, his shoulders trembling violently, he staggered a bit and stood up crookedly, holding onto the sofa backrest, ”...Senior He Bi, I...can I stay close to you? I’m...I’m scared.”

In the cockpit, ever since a seam appeared from the opening of the Space Rift, he had been holding the control panel tightly, keeping the spaceship steady in the starry sky, so it wouldn’t be swept away by the violent space turbulences.

He dared not move an inch, even though the roar and the star turbulences caused his ears, nostrils, and eyes to bleed, he did not budge.

After the earth-shattering violent wave stopped, He Bi spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped it away, and heard Liu Fufeng’s voice. For a moment, He Bi felt a headache.

He Bi said, ”Stay put, if you’re really scared, let Ji You recite scriptures to you.”

Ji You: ”?”

Ji You almost jumped up, ”Senior, what scriptures do I know to recite?”

He Bi squinted, ”Reciting poems is fine too.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You opened her mouth, ”The wind is rustling, the Yi River is cold, the warrior is leaving, never to return again...”

He Bi felt his headache intensify, ”Shut up! All of you, keep quiet!”

Immediately, He Bi’s heart tightened, ”They’re coming—”

As soon as the words were out, Ji You’s heart was instantly in her throat! She saw, densely packed Star Beasts approaching constantly from afar, one, two, three... A dark mass, impossible to see the end, even re-covering the starry sky previously illuminated by the light from the Space Rift.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Ji You exclaimed, ”So... many!!! Senior, are we entering the Space Rift immediately, or should we find a place to hide?”

The Star Beast army was about to arrive; to kill them was obviously impossible! Totally impossible, like trying to empty the ocean with just one person. Is it possible?

Impossible.

So, while Ji You was already thinking about how to escape, she suddenly noticed not far from her area in the empty space, a giant object suddenly emerged. At the same time, two, three... A total of ten!

In the next second, a loud voice shouted: ”Fire!”

As soon as the words fell, Ji You’s eyes widened as she saw on those horrifying and intimidating starships, countless cannon fires emerged, clattering~

Tightly packed, like dark clouds pressing down, shells hurled towards the Star Beast Group.

Clattering~

The Star Beast Group was forcibly dispersed at that moment.

Then.

The same loud voice again said: ”Fire!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom~

Boom~

Boom~

Ji You couldn’t see what happened outside the window. She only saw the originally dark starry sky turn bright as day at that instant! Countless Star Beasts turned to ashes at that moment, vanishing into the endless starry sky.

At that moment, Ji You was internally shaken!

So, killing Star Beasts can be done this way?

Without sacrificing a single soldier, countless enemies can be slain?

The loud voice continued: ”Retrieve!”

Immediately, a massive net was seen spreading out, covering down on the Star Beast Group. The netted Star Beasts began to struggle and resist fiercely...

Then.

The voice turned cold and devoid of warmth: ”Detonate!”

Boom——

Sparks flew, fireworks filled the sky...

Ji You was stunned.

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... The entire group of seven from the 131st batch all gaped and were dumbfounded.

Overwhelming force!

This was overwhelming force!

Completely overwhelming!

But—

Ji You’s heart wasn’t completely at ease because she thought the matter couldn’t be that simple. If humans could easily crush a Star Beast Group like they were crushing ants, then the Star Beast Group wouldn’t have grown to such a large scale, nor would it have been an unresolved calamity that troubled countless human ancestors.

Ji You’s thought just emerged when she heard Senior He Bi’s voice, ”Everyone, prepare yourselves to enter the Space Rift.”

Chu Jiaojiao was startled, ”Senior? Don’t we have to deal with these Star Beasts?”

Although the Space Rift opened a seam, the timing isn’t right to enter. One has to wait for it to fully open the passage. Only then can humans enter, and so can the Star Beasts.

Humans and Star Beasts are clearly vying for the timing and position.

The only difference is that Star Beasts are evidently a step slower than humans. The best position is already occupied by humans. If Star Beasts want to enter, they must break through humans’ defenses.
