Chapter 202 - 67: Courting Death (Part 3)

Continue attacking.

The three spies jumped up at once, hurriedly activating the blocked signal, and requested a connection.

Sweat was forming on their foreheads, and a thought popped into their minds.

Could it really be that the Star Thief took advantage of the chaos to steal the warship, and during the escape, they saw their ship was better, so they attacked?

Their arrogance is overwhelming.

The three spies, with a hint of apprehension, kept attempting to connect.

Su Xiaocai didn’t care about them at all, she kept attacking the hull for fun, avoiding the weaker spots to preserve the ship’s integrity.

Her attacks seemed endless, full of the Military Department’s weapons, only a support ship could have such a vast amount of ammunition.

"We should fight back." One of the spies opened the weapon control screen.

"Are you crazy?" another spy stopped his action, "There are only three of us here, and we are not experts in this field. Using them carelessly might be fatal, and we’d be the ones to die."

Weapon overload, misalignment, wrong ports — the consequences are extremely serious.

They are Mecha Masters, not proficient in warship weapons, not even in aiming, let alone attacking others.

"Activate the shield, they definitely can’t break it within half an hour."

"Broken."

"What’s broken?"

"The shield is broken."

It’s not that they didn’t want to use it, but their opponent aimed so precisely that they broke the front-end equipment, clearly a seasoned hand.

It was suffocating; the timing of the Star Thief’s disturbance was executed too cleverly.

"Try connecting again, let’s pretend to surrender. First, determine whether they are really Star Thieves."

"Whether they are Star Thieves or the military, what’s the difference? They both want to seize the warship."

"Is that all you can think of?"

"The military cares about students; we have a student hostage, what’s there to fear?"

"But... if they are Star Thieves, what do we do? Wouldn’t the plan fail?"

The three spies’ expressions changed, one of them squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "If you can’t beat them, join them. Worst case, become Star Thieves for a few weeks. With our skills, can’t we make a name among the Star Thieves? Maybe the God hopes someone can infiltrate the Star Thieves."

They pulled over a sleeping soldier, placed him at their feet, ready to use as a hostage.

Connected again.

Su Xiaocai then commanded her teammates to cease fire, slowly connecting.

They requested a video connection, Su Xiaocai complied as they wished, but her video image was automatically replaced by Wisdom 03.

Su Xiaocai appeared in front of them as an imposing woman of 1.8 meters tall, with fiery red lips and a stunning figure.

At the moment of connection, her languid demeanor and killing intent shifted effortlessly.

She slouched unceremoniously in the command chair, her long legs flickering beneath her black dress.

You can tell she’s not a conventional person.

This woman was the command figure of that Star Thief Ship?

"So, it’s three young military officers?" She batted her charming eyes, smiling enticingly.

The three spies were called spies, but being in the barracks, where would they encounter such a beauty?

They were momentarily disoriented.

Liu Xun and Wu Qingqing stood behind Su Xiaocai, watching them with chuckles.

The three soldiers quickly regained their composure, "Miss, when did the Blood Triangle Star Thieves have someone like you? We don’t seem to have seen your wanted notice."

"Ha?" Su Xiaocai scrutinized them critically, as if they were merchandise, "Do you know exactly how many Star Thieves there are? By the way, can Captains now command warships? Such unprofessional questioning."

Su Xiaocai’s speech was flippant yet domineering, having the arrogant flavor unique to Star Thieves.

"What should I call you?"

"Since you asked, I’ll reluctantly answer. Call me Queen. You haven’t answered my question yet—are you the ones responsible for the warship?"

Queen?

How should I put it! Very awkward, hard to say out loud.

It’s said that there are many weird Star Thieves, didn’t expect this beauty to be so strange.

"We aren’t the warship commanders, just representing the ship to contact you."

"Ha. Representing the ship? You three are like misshapen melons, at least have my sweetheart’s looks before negotiating?" Su Xiaocai pulled Feng Wansha tightly against her chest.

In the video, Feng Wansha’s appearance was of an absolute cute puppy, shy and uneasy.

Wisdom 03 really understands! Even capturing those curves.

Everyone: "..."

For a moment, no one knew who to envy.

The three dared not show flaws, speaking solemnly, "Miss, stealing the warship, attacking the military, is a felony, punishable by death."

"Hahaha." Su Xiaocai laughed uproariously, spreading her hands, "My achievements are right here. Having already stolen, seeking wealth amidst danger. Steal big ones, only dying would not be in vain."

"You really want to go against the military?" The three were anxious.

Su Xiaocai stopped laughing: "Surrender, and you won’t be killed. I wasn’t joking, deserters have no qualifications to talk about the military."

"You..."

"How would I know? Only deserters behave unscrupulously." Her gaze swept over their empty liquor bottles, "Surrender, then I might reluctantly accept you."

"Resisting is useless, there’s another warship pursuing behind us."

"A pursuing warship?"

"Don’t believe it? If you don’t believe it, forget it. I don’t intend to explain anything; the ship is mine, I can ensure you don’t die."

On hearing this, they realized Base 022 might be aware of their plans.

How could it be!

Every step was meticulously planned and arranged.

Cultivating undercover agents carefully, all for this performance for everyone.

This thought turned sinister in their minds, thinking perhaps they had a traitor among them as well.

"Still haven’t decided?" Su Xiaocai was filing her nails, calm and collected, "You don’t have much time to consider."

One spy said, "We’re just deserters, at worst we’ll lose our military ranks. Joining Star Thieves is different—becoming one isolates us completely from normal society."

"So, not only are you deserters, but you also have a secret identity?" Su Xiaocai scratched her chin, "Let me see what interesting things I’ve discovered."

The warship’s signal connection allowed the AI to seize the opportunity. Without network security personnel defending, a warship is like an AI’s backyard garden.

Though she couldn’t gain control of the ship, she could intercept surveillance images.

Su Xiaocai flipped an image, holding it in front of the video lens, a sinister smile tugged at her lips, "You’ve hidden so many students."

The images focused on the training field full of students.

"Going to Huangyang Star, yes, just hand them over, I like fresh little cabbages." Su Xiaocai licked her red lips, eyes filled with amusement, like a vixen. She voiced the truth they least wanted to be exposed.

"You’re spies, am I right? Too bad, I haven’t cracked the monitoring camera in the control room yet, I bet the situation inside is even more entertaining."

The three exchanged glances, tugging the sleeping soldier.

Knife at the soldier’s throat, "You aren’t Star Thieves, you’re imposters."

Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "Ha, keep attacking, what nonsense."

"Yes."

The disguised students and instructor team spoke in unison.

Saying attack means attack, beyond control.

The warship was destroyed in an instant.

"Wait, if we wish to join you, would you trust us?"

"Nope."

Seeing them become distressed, Su Xiaocai continued, "No Star Thief is trustworthy, you can join if you want, our leader welcomes all comers. As for me, I don’t like you, too ugly. Remember to stay away from me when we return to the main base."

Su Xiaocai’s disgust was portrayed to perfection.

Spiritually unappealing, looks exceedingly plain, even considered bad.

She genuinely felt that these three spies had no redeemable aspects whatsoever.
