Chapter 691: Chapter 367 Escape (5-in-1)_5

Horton looked at Su Ming with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Right?”

Shadler also had a bewildered look on his face.

“Everyone quiet down and listen to me, what I’m about to say is extremely important!”

Su Ming spoke very seriously to Shadler and the others.

Upon hearing this, Shadler and the others looked at Su Ming with grave expressions.

“I now suspect there’s a traitor on board; otherwise, the backup power of Ghost Fire wouldn’t have malfunctioned. The performance of Ghost Fire is excellent, and life-saving equipment like the backup power doesn’t fail easily.”

Su Ming said to everyone with a serious expression.

Su Yuan, hearing Su Ming’s words, suddenly felt his head buzzing, and looked at Su Ming with a stunned expression.

“Wasn’t he suspicious of Parry and Bain? Why did he call them over and discuss traitors in front of them? What is he playing at?”

“Makes sense. So, who is the traitor?”

Parry was shocked and immediately asked.

“Yeah, who is the traitor?”

Shadler and the others asked nervously.

“I don’t know who the traitor is; it could be anyone on the ship. The only thing I can confirm now is that the six of us present and Captain Lum are not involved!”

Su Ming lowered his voice and spoke to everyone.

“So what do we do now?”

Shadler asked, feeling a bit flustered.

“Don’t panic. How many people are there on the ship now?”

Su Ming asked calmly.

“Not many, including us, there are only 163 people, most of whom are operators. However, these people are my trusted aides and should be fine.”

Shadler hurriedly explained to Su Ming.

“Even your trusted aides can’t be relied upon; if the people around you were truly trustworthy, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Su Ming shook his head in reply.

“Ah, then what should I do?”

“Do your best to gather all your subordinates together, and then we’ll keep a close watch on them!”

“Understood.”

Everyone present responded.

“Alright, that’s all for now. Everyone, go back and rest, and act naturally.”

Su Ming rationally instructed.

“Got it!”

Shadler and a few others responded immediately.

After everyone had left, Su Ming raised his bracelet and sent a message to Su Yuan.

“Keep an eye on Parry and Bain.”

Soon, a reply popped up on the bracelet.

“Understood.”

….

Two days later.

In the central control room, Su Ming and the others stood on the observation deck, looking at the distant starry sky.

Suddenly, Su Yuan shouted in surprise.

“Quick, look ahead, there’s a planet with an atmosphere.”

Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming and the others turned to look.

In the distance, a gray planet came into view.

Su Ming immediately asked Captain Lum.

“Captain Lum, can we avoid that planet?”

“We should be able to, but there’s no data on this planet in my database. It’s unclear if there are any dangers. Therefore, during descent, we’ll need to be particularly careful.”

Lum responded steadily.

“No problem, just keep things quiet during the descent. As long as we don’t have exceptionally bad luck and encounter V-type monsters, we can handle it.”

Su Ming said to Lum.

“Alright!”

Captain Lum replied immediately.

Over two hours later.

The Wind Shuttle, a level 3 escape ship, began entering the unknown planet.

On the operation screen, prompts appeared one by one.

“Entering atmosphere, altitude descending.”

“Data analysis ongoing.”

…..

Soon, rows of data were displayed.

“Target planet, atmosphere thickness: 1000 kilometers, composition: nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide…”

“Warning: 18 types of toxic gases detected.”

“Note: Oxygen concentration is 6%, prediction of planetary habitability: unsuitable.”

…..

Upon seeing the data, Su Ming and the others didn’t pay much attention; the chances of encountering a suitable planet these days are remarkably low.

Soon, the ship penetrated the atmosphere.

A gray, barren, lifeless landscape came into view.

However, at the edge of the land, Su Ming and the others saw sheets of ice.

At this moment, a prompt appeared on the operation screen.

“Warning: Water resources detected.”

…

“Water resources, this planet actually has water.”

Su Yuan said in great surprise.

Su Ming was also quite astonished; this was the first time he saw water resources on a desolate planet, and it seemed like there was quite a lot remaining.

“With so much water, it would be worth a lot if we could extract it! Unfortunately, we’re not here to mine resources, we’re escaping!”

Horton and the others expressed their regret.

“I remember that Heint Interstellar Group is in this line of business; we can directly sell the coordinates to them.”

Shadler thought for a moment and replied.

Su Ming heard this but did not speak. Honestly, he didn’t want to sell the coordinates to Heint Interstellar Group because they would exploit more money from the lower levels.

As the Wind Shuttle continued to descend, it finally landed at the edge of the mountainous terrain, activated its camouflage colors, and blended into the surroundings.

Su Ming and the others gazed at the endless sheets of ice, enjoying the exotic scenery.

“Now we just have to wait; it’s damn boring, a pure waste of life.”

Horton sighed and said.

“Can’t be helped, my personal guard is mostly gone, and the maid squad is completely wiped out.”

Shadler replied, heart aching.

“Stop complaining, be grateful you survived, just hang in there.”

Su Yuan replied, head aching.

Now, when he thought about missing advanced training and the Military Department notifying the family, imagining the scene when grandfather, great-grandfather, and eldest sister found out, he couldn’t help but shiver.

At this moment, Su Ming glancing sideways at Bain and Parry, noticed they were both silent, not saying a word.
