Chapter 1645: Splits

Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: Splits

He Bi looked at Ji You. Ji You’s gaze was firm, her smile calm, and her tone confident... He Bi suddenly chuckled, saying, "I’m not worried you’ll die."

"Of course not." Ji You laughed.

He Bi said, "When all the Xiao Qiang in the world die, you’ll definitely still be alive, lively and kicking."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You scoffed, "Senior He Bi, don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to subtly mock me by calling me Xiao Qiang."

He Bi didn’t continue sparring with Ji You, he raised his hand, patted Ji You’s shoulder, and said, "Go on, Xiao Qiang. The mission to explore K-Q75 is all yours."

Ji You said seriously, "Captain, rest assured, I’ll complete the mission."

She referred to him as ’Captain’ rather than ’Senior,’ showing her serious attitude.

He Bi nodded.

Chu Jiaojiao jumped over too and said, "Everyone don’t worry, I’ll protect Ji You, especially Ji You’s face. I won’t let her be harmed at all."

He Bi said, "Alright, try not to have Ji You protect you."

Chu Jiaojiao chuckled, showing no sign of frustration. Instead, she laughed heartily, saying, "Senior, rest assured. If it comes to that, I’ll definitely ask Ji You for protection and won’t pretend to be strong."

He Bi: "..."

A group with no shame; no need to worry about them.

He Bi waved his hand like shooing flies, "Hurry up and go."

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao got ready, and the moment the spaceship stopped, they decisively piloted their mecha, jumped off the spaceship, and headed towards the destination.

The two mecha silhouettes swiftly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

He Bi’s brow wrinkled instantly.

Everyone else’s expressions tightened up as well.

No one made a sound.

With the naked eye, it was impossible to catch sight of the mecha silhouettes; they could only be monitored through the spaceship cameras. Yue Qiyuan’s eyes never left the monitoring screen, and after watching for a while, Yue Qiyuan said softly, "Senior, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao’s navigation trajectory is on track with no signs of deviation."

He Bi said, "Continue monitoring."

"Yes." Yue Qiyuan’s tone was calm, nodding slightly. Yet, his hand holding the controls was somewhat trembling. He wasn’t a sentimental person, even his overconfident brother shared a similar carefree personality. Nonetheless, Yue Qiyuan’s carefreeness was carefully hidden beneath a civilized and reserved demeanor not easily perceived by others.

Now tasked by Senior He Bi to be the spaceship’s main pilot and main monitor, he was responsible for closely observing all actions of Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao outside. Any slight negligence could lead to an irreversible situation...

Yue Qiyuan kept his face tightly drawn, not daring to be distracted.

On the monitor, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao maintained a steady speed as they flew towards the destination, but the position of K-Q75 was not static; affected by distance and space, this small change meant a significant shift for X-N3848.

It was already significant for the spaceship, even more so for individuals.

Moreover, as the monitor screen was transmitted back to the spaceship, there was a delay of several seconds, making it crucial for detecting the current situation accurately and swiftly conveying it to Senior He Bi, Ji You, and Chu Jiaojiao.

When Yue Qiyuan saw K-Q75 suddenly twitch for an instant, his pupils shrank, he quickly conveyed this information to Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao did not respond.

Yue Qiyuan’s brow furrowed quickly: "4444, 1111, reply immediately upon receiving."

No response.

Yue Qiyuan repeated.

The communicator still got no response.

Yue Qiyuan pursed his lips and said to He Bi: "Senior, the communication expectedly got disconnected."

What Yue Qiyuan was unaware of was that his voice carried a slight tremble, easily revealing his nervousness and panic... He Bi naturally noticed, yet his tone remained calm and flat, with no fluctuations, saying, "It’s within the plan, don’t worry about it, just continue monitoring."

The Star Network signal got blocked in the space rift, for now, the communication used was the spaceship’s own network with a narrow signal coverage range. Once out of range, the network would disconnect, so Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t respond, which was expected.

Just at this moment—

Seemingly sensing the worry of the people on the spaceship, the two mecha flying in parallel suddenly did the splits in mid-air, then demonstrated an ’OK’ gesture with mechanical arms.

Yue Qiyuan’s mouth twitched, a tense face full of black lines.

He Bi, who was sternly frowning, couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "That body art is quite good."

Yue Qiyuan: "..."

A few seconds earlier, within the pitch-dark space rift, relying on the feedback from the mecha detector, Ji You vaguely sensed something wrong, beside her, Chu Jiaojiao said, "Ji You, K-Q75 seems to have some movement."

Ji You replied, "My detector sensed it too."

Both sped up without any pause, Chu Jiaojiao was somewhat worried and said, "The signal from the spaceship got disconnected, they should have sensed it too, but can’t convey it to us. Would Senior He Bi be anxious? How do we let them know we’ve discovered it?"

Ji You thought briefly, then said, "The transmission of communication is different from detector transmission, the spaceship can still detect our silhouettes now, so let’s perform a body art show for them?"

Chu Jiaojiao: "???"

Ji You said, "Do the splits."

Chu Jiaojiao: "..."

Ji You said, "I’ll count 1, 2, 3!"

Instantly, the two mecha in the space rift moved simultaneously, performing a perfect split.

Ji You said, "They should have received it."

Chu Jiaojiao exclaimed, "Ji You has so many ideas, I never knew doing the splits could be used like this, I almost couldn’t keep up just now, it seems, I need to train my splits skills."

Ji You: "..."

What on earth is she saying, is it a compliment or a criticism?

Forget it.

No time to dwell, just take it as praise.

...

Now, the direction of X-N3848’s navigation, although heading towards Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, wasn’t exactly aligned but slightly off course. Yet, the distance between the two was not far, making the drift not apparent for now, but as time passed, the direction of the spaceship and the two mecha would diverge further, and if Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao really encountered trouble, the people on the spaceship would need some time to come to the rescue.

But not now.

Currently, the distance between the spaceship and the two mecha is still close. If any trouble were detected, the spaceship could catch up to them in full speed within five minutes.
