Chapter 4: Escaping the Predicament

  Hearing this, Yuan Xi cursed silently, would he really be so unlucky? He thought whatever came into his mind!

  He quietly shifted his position to an angle where he could see their contact screen.

  It's a three-dimensional holographic image. Two people stand in front, and on the screen that suddenly appears opposite them is a man wearing a silver uniform.

  The uniform's style is simple and atmospheric, with a great outline of the body. His hair color is pure gold, and his skin is pale with almost no blood color. The facial features are handsome, but those emerald green eyes seem like snakes, conveying malice and danger even through the screen.

  When he saw this person, Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat. This was probably the federal official named Feng Yun. Just by looking at him, he felt that this was absolutely not a good person.

  Compared to Ba Zi's rage, another scoundrel looked calmer, but his black eyes also flickered slightly, apparently he didn't expect Feng Yun to be so ruthless.

  He forced his voice to be calm and said, "Colonel Feng Yun, our demands are simple. We just need to open the port channel, and we will release these fifty or so people as soon as we leave."

  On the screen, Feng Yun's mouth hooked up, and the smile he forced out was a blatant malice: "I've said it before, hand over what you took away, and I'll consider sparing your lives."

  The one with the lower voice also flared up: "Do you really regard the lives of fifty-four federal citizens on this ship as nothing? Or do you think we dare not kill them?"

  He finished speaking and narrowed his eyes dangerously, but the screen in front of Feng Yun's face didn't show any ripples, instead he shook his finger and said: "My patience is limited, you don't have much time."

  He was so careless that the villain asked reluctantly: "If these fifty or more people are dead, do you think your official position can be kept? If we expose your image, what do you think will happen to you?"

  The handsome man on the screen narrowed his eyes and smiled even more, making people's hair stand on end: "Do you think I'll give you this opportunity?"

  As soon as he said this, the villain's face changed, he lowered his head and took a look, and his complexion became even more unsightly.

  Feng Yun said: "Alright, if you don't want to give it to me, then take it with you to hell."

  As soon as he said this, Ba Zi was furious. He shouted: "You can't do that! You dare not! If such a thing happens in your jurisdiction, you will also be held accountable!"

  Na Fengyun was completely unmoved, and finally left them with a big smile before forcibly cutting off the call they had established.

  Yuanxi watched the whole process, cursing the corrupt official in his heart, while also cursing those two damned thugs. Why don't these three scum get together and die? They're a disaster for the common people just by being alive!

  The rescue is over, and I don't know what these two scoundrels are planning next.

  At this time, the starship shook violently, and a sharp alarm sounded in succession. Feng Yun, that scum, actually started attacking like this!

  Those two scoundrels also panicked, they quickly moved to the main control room of the spaceship and loudly ordered: "Take off, take off quickly!"

  In such a situation, forced takeoff was no different from looking for death, but being threatened with weapons, the controller had to start the starship's power system.

  Two scoundrels suddenly ran towards the right rear of the spaceship, and Yuanxi followed suit. The place seemed to be the power room of the starship. That guy named Baz took out a long tube about the thickness of chopsticks that Yuanxi had noticed on the flying car before. At that time, it was this thing that brought them instantly into the interior of the starship. Did they still have another trick up their sleeve?

  That guy seemed to want to push the tube into the energy trough like last time, but another scoundrel stopped him: "We can't waste any more energy, these fifty or so people are already useless since they can't be used as hostages against the Federation, go take care of them first."

  As soon as the words fell, the two turned their heads again. Yuanxi was shocked in his heart and knew he couldn't wait any longer, couldn't let them go kill people. He touched the weapon that looked like a remote control, which had been hidden in his arms all along, and it was still the weapon dropped by the dead Deputy Li, to boost his courage, and chased after them.

  Although the two scoundrels had weapons on them and were more advanced than him, during this period of observation, Yuanchuan had discovered that the physical quality of these two people was actually quite ordinary, completely relying on their weapons to prop themselves up. If he could seize the initiative, Yuanchuan was very confident that he could take down both of them.

  Yuanchuan took a deep breath, he grew up without parents since childhood, and relied on himself to survive. To avoid being bullied, he even practiced boxing and kicking in the streets. He didn't dare say anything else, but when it came to running, his speed was incredibly fast.

  He quickly ran up and managed to rush into the cabin before the two thugs, the passengers in the cabin were already in a commotion due to the sudden departure of the thugs, they wanted to escape but now the starship was airborne and couldn't get out. Moreover, because of the disorder, it became chaotic.

  At this moment, Yuan Xi didn't have time to comfort them, he quickly lay in ambush where the bandits were about to appear.

  Yuanyu calmly watched, must be a one-hit kill, only by taking the other by surprise and killing him first, did he have confidence to confront the other.

  Yuanchi held his breath, ignoring the surrounding screams and curses mixed with crying sounds, and locked all his attention on the two thugs. He had never used this weapon before and didn't know its range, but under the current circumstances, he could only minimize the chances of failure by suddenly attacking when the thugs approached him.

  The rioters rushed into the passenger compartment, all their attention was drawn to the chaos in the passenger compartment, they pulled out their weapons and were about to start suppressing.

  It's now! Yuan Xi aimed at the Ba Zi near him, pressed it down forcefully, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes, hitting it!

  Ba Zi's face was full of horror and incredulity, he didn't even know who had killed him until the very end.

  Yuan Xi suppressed the discomfort in his heart and quickly locked onto another thug. Ba Zi's death shocked him, but Yuan Xi knew that this was a great opportunity. The man was at his most terrified moment, and if he could grasp it, he would definitely be able to take care of him!

  So Yuanyu didn't hesitate at all, and the weapon was activated again, with white light reappearing.

  Kanata is not an ordinary person, with extremely high psychological quality and a keen sense of danger. His abilities are far superior to those of Bazi. If Yuanxi had chosen him as his first opponent, Yuanxi would have been utterly defeated.

  It was also thanks to Yu Xi's careful observation on this road that he knew the barbarian was hot-headed and had many weaknesses, so he chose to attack him first.

  At the critical moment, the villain activated the defense system on his wrist, and a faint blue light enveloped his body. Although he did not dodge Yuanxi's attack, he directly absorbed the impact of the weapon, without suffering any harm.

  Having lost the initiative, Yuanxi knew that firing again would have no effect. He quickly changed his position and hid, just avoiding the villain's attack.

  Now that the situation has changed, the bandit has a protective shield on his body. If he launches a reckless attack, it will definitely have no effect and may even expose himself. What to do? Yuanyi narrowed his eyes, thinking quickly.

  He took aim at the villain's weapon in his hand! If that weapon is destroyed, this villain will be like a wild beast that has lost its fangs, and it will be much easier to kill him.

  But there's another problem, aiming at a person is not difficult, but aiming at a weapon is very challenging. Yuan Xi has never received any training, although his eyes are extremely useful, can he grasp it in this situation?

  A bead of sweat the size of a bean fell from his forehead, it was impossible to say he wasn't nervous, he was just an ordinary person, coming to this strange world and encountering so many things, those with slightly weaker minds would have collapsed already. He could still hold on like this, simply because he wanted to survive!

  Yes, he must live and cannot die. There are more than 50 lives on this ship, although they don't know each other, but they are all human beings, representing a family with parents and children.

  Thinking of his parents' miserable death and his own lonely life, he didn't want such a tragedy to happen again.

  Yuanyu, he silently told himself, you can do it.

  He took a deep breath, ignoring all the sounds around him, and his eyes were fixed on that gun. Although the bandit was wildly sweeping the area with his shots, in his eyes there was only that silver, rectangular, deeply hollowed-out weapon.

  The starship was attacked again, the hull shook violently, and the villain's eyes finally showed a hint of panic, he was afraid! Yuanchuan pursed his lips, and at this moment, he pulled the trigger!

  A flash of white light, followed by a fierce explosion.

  No one had expected such an unexpected turn of events. Yuan Xi took aim, destroying the bandit's weapon and unexpectedly unleashing a massive surge of energy that caused the shallow blue color of the bandit's shield to fade instantly, leaving only a thin layer behind.

  Can't miss this opportunity, Yuanyou continuously pulled the trigger, and a white light shot out. But that villain was not to be underestimated, he quickly dodged and moved towards where Bazi had fallen.

  Yuan Xi knew that he was going to snatch Ba Zi's weapon and couldn't let him succeed! Yuan Xi no longer hid, raised the attack speed of his weapon to the highest level, and must have shot him down.

  At the last moment, just as the thug was about to grab the crucial weapon, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared and snatched up the weapon that had fallen to the ground.

  It was originally the onlooking passengers who discovered their fight and bravely lent a hand to support them.

  Yuanyu was moved in his heart, but at this time the villain suddenly became fierce, pounced on the woman with his bare hands, and violently grasped her neck, intending to strangle her to death.

  A middle-aged man roared in anger, seemingly the woman's husband, just as he was about to pounce over, Yuanxi suddenly blocked him. Yuanxi didn't explain, but instead picked up his weapon and aimed at the thug, without blinking an eye, pulled the trigger, a white light flashed, and hit with one shot!
