Ge Xiu quickly touched the cabin where the spare ship was parked.
The cabin is full of countless spare ships of the same size.
He chose one and carefully pried it open by bypassing the hatch's automatic countermeasure system.
However, the moment Ge Xiu stepped into the cabin door, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in his ears.
The entire cabin flashed a red light symbolizing danger, and all entrances and exits were automatically closed.
Ge Xiu slowly narrowed his eyes.
He was pretty sure he didn't show any clues along the way, so what went wrong
Suddenly, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly rolled up his sleeves and looked at his forearm.
On the skin covered by those small or deep scars, a small red spot was hidden between the dense wounds, and it was impossible to detect its existence without looking carefully.
Ge Xiu raised his hand and pressed the red dot, and he could clearly feel some hard metal rolling under that piece of skin.
Implanted detector - should be passively activated, otherwise it will be directly detected by him if it emits any energy.
And according to the current situation, its operation is far from the automatic activation of countermeasures when the cargo enters the dangerous area in the ship.
Interesting design.
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the back of the chair relaxedly, and hooked his lips slightly.
Soon, the armed crew of the Predator received the news and quickly entered the cabin. They were well-trained to spread out and surrounded the ship that sent the warning signal.
Ge Xiu was caught without resistance.
The man who had appraised Ge Xiu in the cage before had a gloomy face and strode towards him.
The surrounding crew parted beside him, making way for him to go straight to Gossiu.
Although the Marauder has measures to prevent cargo from escaping, it is only just in case. In fact, since the Marauder began a large-scale looting and looting, no cargo has ever been able to escape so far. —
The crew member who went to the customer's room just received news that the councilman's neck was directly twisted, and he died neatly.
And this was actually done by an unarmed Omega!
Simply ridiculous!
What's even more ridiculous is that the entire alarm system and thermal energy detection device seem to be dead, but the implant that has never been used before has played a role!
He couldn't even imagine the consequences of not having this step of insurance in the first place.
Has this daring omega escaped in a boat
It's literally slapping the Marauder's face!
The man stared gloomily at the boy who was tightly handcuffed in front of him.
Suddenly, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes paused slightly, and he looked at Ge Xiu deeply.
In the next second, the corners of his lips slowly evoked a cold smile, and he instructed the crew behind him:
"The wormhole in three days has been brought forward to ten minutes later - the customers on the ship today are very lucky, not only can they watch in advance, but this performance does not need to pay any purchase coins, and it will be delivered by the Marauder for free."

Ge Xiu's head was covered with a black cloth. He was pushed and shoved by the people behind him in the dark. He stumbled forward, and the heavy shackles on his wrists and ankles made a clear collision sound.
There was darkness in front of him, and he couldn't figure out where he was going.
Suddenly, the sound of a huge metal hatch opening sounded, and a ray of light shone through the gap between the black cloth in front of him.
Ge Xiu felt the black hood on his head being rudely taken off, and then pushed fiercely into the dazzling white light.
A burst of cheers resounded like a tsunami, and huge noises came from all directions.
Ge Xiu raised his hand to block the harsh light in front of him.
His eyes narrowed slightly uncomfortably, and the eye sockets were filled with physiological water light stimulated by light, making everything appear very blurry.
Finally, the feeling of being dazzled by the strong light disappeared.
Ge Xiu looked around for a week.
He is now standing in a huge ring, surrounded by tiers of stands, each seat is filled with virtual human figures whose faces are so vivid that they are obviously projected from different parts of the ship of.
The expressions on everyone's faces were cruel and excited, and there was a frenzy that seemed to be catalyzed to the extreme.
- It's like a huge colosseum.
Three round metal balls were flying in the air.
They are floating cameras that can clearly record every detail of the stage, and then pass it to every port of information flow—
That is, in front of the audience.
"luck la la la-"
On the opposite side of the field, the metal noose slowly swayed upward, pulling up the heavy gate little by little. A huge iron cage appeared under the iron gate, and a piercing roar spread from the blood-stained railing. Come, the sour and bitter stench permeates the venue.
This taste is very familiar to Gosho.
On the previous planet, this smell lingered in the atmosphere for a long time and could not be dissipated.
— plus the words of the previous man:
"Wormhole".
What is in the cage is self-explanatory.
There was a wave of cheers all around, and the desire for the young flesh to be savagely torn apart by the brutal bug made everyone's face project a near-primitive animality, and they clenched their fists and loudly demanded the beginning of the performance.
The ball that moves smoothly in the air floats in the direction of the iron cage.
"Crack-"
The sound of the opening of the steel railings was harsh and loud, even though it was particularly clear in the frantic cries all around.
At the same time, the shackles on Ge Xiu's wrists and ankles automatically opened.
The next second, a huge bug rushed out of the iron cage!
Its body is two or three meters long, and its back is covered with a hard brown-black carapace. Its front claws and claws are sharp like a knife, flashing a metallic luster. In stark contrast to its huge stature is the basketball-like shape. The size of the pitch-black head, the six compound eyes on the head flashed with ferocious light, eager for blood and killing.
Its mouthparts wiggled a little, as if it was chewing the smell of humans in the air, and it rushed towards the defenseless young man in the distance without hesitation!
Ge Xiu rolled on the spot and dodged to the side.
Although he was already prepared for this, this already scarred body had the speed of a bug, and at most he was able to avoid it. The clothes on the sleeves and side waist were sharply pinched by its sharp claws during this attack. Claws are broken.
The worm didn't hold back its pace and hit the steel wall directly.
Countless onlookers cheered fiercely, and the excited and cruel voice above their heads became louder and louder: "Tear him apart!"
"Go on!"
"Eat him!"
It shook its head, turned to look at Ge Xiu, and seemed to be considering the opponent's combat power.
One person and one insect stalemate.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, half arched his back like a cat, adjusted his breathing and gait, and turned a deaf ear to the noise coming from above his head, just stared at the other party's movements closely.
The worm let out a sharp whistle, and its elytra spread out, swooping down from mid-air.
This time, Ge Xiu didn't choose to avoid it like he did just now. Instead, he bent down suddenly, and when the worm was rushing, he got under its belly and rushed to the place where he stood just now.
He grabbed the shackles that had been detached from his wrists and turned around nimbly—
The worm turned around and prepared to continue attacking, but the huge compound eye above its head was severely hit by the heavy iron weapon.
Thick yellow-green slurries flowed out from where the eyes were, and screams of pain poured out of the pitch-black mouthparts.
It twisted its body frantically, its wings flapped hummingly on its back, and hit the metal wall with its huge and ugly body, making a screeching sound.
The cheers from the field stopped for a while.
The omega, who had been sent for execution before, would fall to the ground uncontrollably the moment he saw the Zerg, crying and begging those outside the arena with tears in his eyes.
But they only burst into more pleasant and cruel laughter and cheers.
They are gluttons who are tired of other stimulations, and their barbaric desires, which are usually suppressed under the appearance of gentleness, cannot be expressed in the civilized side of society, but can only be found in the constant chaos of disorder—
And when their weak and slender limbs are chewed by insects alive, they will be greatly satisfied when they yearn for violent and bloody fun.
When the worms are exhausted, the audience will be content with bounties and fanatical admiration.
But... this is the first time that an omega has not only not been frightened to incapacitate, but even tried to find a way to counterattack—
This is so weird.
There were boos from the audience, cheering for the underperforming bug.
Therefore, in order to further expand the entertainment effect, I saw a few metal pipes slowly protruding around the wall, and bursts of colorless aromas were sprayed from them.
Ge Xiu frowned.
He sniffed it out—it was the pheromone released by the omega when it was in heat, making the Zerg even more irritable and agitated.
Sure enough, at the moment of smelling the pheromone, the worm who had just been hit by the weak point and was throbbing in pain suddenly raised its head, the injured compound eyes were still gurgling with yellow-green blood, but it was faintly glowing with manic scarlet, Saliva dripped from the protruding pitch-black mouthparts, dripping on the ground.
It let out a shrill whistle and rushed towards Ge Xiu frantically.
Ge Xiu's heart tightened, and he jumped back quickly, barely avoiding the opponent's fatal attack, but the insect's sudden increase in speed and the limited physical strength of this body caused him to avoid it at all—
"呲-"
The sharp claws scraped his flank, the fragile skin burst open, and scarlet blood flowed down Ge Xiu's fingers covering the wound.
·
"Captain... Is the omega in the wormhole the slave you saw on the corridor?"
Avery asked uncertainly as he stared at the screen in his palm.
Joseph leaned over: "It's a bit like..."
"Hiss..." He was taken aback by the sudden change in the picture, he couldn't help gasping for breath, and said with emotion, "I'm so cruel... But is he really an omega? It's too bearable."
For some reason, that sentence struck Haines' heart.
He raised his brows, spread his palms at Avery, and in a low voice calmly ordered: "Bring it here."
Avery hurriedly brought the screen up.
The gladiatorial fight off the field has reached the white-hot stage. The slender omega is half-curled. He is obviously scarred. His flanks, thighs, arms, and back are all dripping with blood, but he can always be at the critical juncture again and again. Avoid the increasingly frantic attacks of the bugs.
The blood on the ground was startling.
Haines narrowed his eyes, his expression unpredictable, his dark and deep eyes drooped slightly, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The slender fingers tapped twice on the keys on the side, and tapped twice skillfully.
in the arena.
The exaggerated electronic synthesis sound suddenly sounded, and instantly resounded through the entire venue: "Mr. No. 02796 bought a virtual weapon for the challenger: a dagger!"
All the audience present were shocked, and whispering voices sounded in the auditorium.
That's right, "Wormhole" has items that can be consumed.
But basically the vast majority of options are to increase the ability to fight bugs, or make the whole scene more bloody, but there are also a few products facing those customers who want to fight more fiercely-
They can buy armor and even weapons for the challengers.
However, these products are all sky-high prices.
But they're all pretty simple cold weapons, clubs, shields, etc...
Of all the products, the most expensive is the dagger.
After all, audiences pay to watch violent shows full of adrenaline, so the happier the Challenger dies, the happier they are, and the Predator, as the organizer of the "wormhole", certainly won't smash its own sign.
In fact, the first omega to be sent to the court is often the cannon fodder responsible for the warm-up.
When they are torn apart and eaten, they will be replaced by "wormholes" - well-trained gladiators, alpha or beta.
An omega often lasts less than a few minutes on the court.
How could someone spend so much money on a weapon for such a mere victim! It's just that there is nowhere to spend the money!
But no matter how amazed people are at the unnamed customer's lavish spending, the rules for "wormholes" are set—
Since the money is received, it will naturally be provided.
A hole slowly opened in the metal wall, and a narrow platform popped out.
A dagger shining with cold light lay on it.
Ge Xiu was breathing hard, his lungs seemed to be exhausted trying to absorb the air, his brow bone was scratched, thick blood dripped down the skin, smeared his right eye, and the upper and lower eyelashes were stuck together. Together, the entire field of vision was dyed bright red.
The body has basically reached its limit.
Every muscle was screaming, and the loose frame seemed to be teetering, just one last push.
But his eyes were still indifferent and calm, his dark eyes like cold stars soaked in water, coldly swept across the dagger several meters away.
Ge Xiu counted the time in his heart.
—5.
He arched his body and lunged in the direction of the dagger as fast as he could.
—4.
The extremely impatient worm that has been consumed by so long in circles uttered a harsh roar, and the wings on its back hummed. Although the low-intelligence brain still didn't figure out what was going on, it knew very well that this abominable human being in front of him would be. Which way to pounce—
—3.
Pale bloodstained fingers gripped the hilt of the dagger.
-2.
Before Ge Xiu could turn around, he felt a black shadow pressing down from the top of his head, the rotten smell of insects enveloped his senses, and the sound of sharp cheliceras hitting his ears was just behind his ears. break his neck.
-1.
A faint smile flitted across his lips.
A strong and terrifying shock suddenly came from below the ground, and the entire huge arena was shaken twice.
The worm's teeth veered off course, brushing his shoulder blades and hitting the ground.
Ge Xiu smiled and clenched the dagger, and the moment he turned around, he slumped down. The blade flashed a dazzling icy cold light between his pale fingers, and cut into the insect's soft abdomen that was not protected by the carapace.
The sharp and painful sound of the insects came from overhead, and even overwhelmed the panicked noise of the audience in the outside venue due to the inexplicable shock.
His fingers snapped.
The worm struggled in horror, but couldn't get rid of the thorn that pierced his stomach.
The blade swirls fiercely in the opponent's abdomen, then vigorously and slowly upwards—
The internal organs, which were flowing with yellow-green liquid, flowed down from the gap in the abdomen.
The worms struggled less and less.
Gossi could feel the ground shaking violently below his shoulder blades.
He took a deep breath and took a rest, then kicked away the dying body of the worm that was pressing on him, and stumbled to his feet with difficulty.
A stronger tremor came.
The metal dome overhead creaked overwhelmed, and every virtual face in the audience flashed a panic of the unknown.
"… what happened?"
"What happened to the boat?"
Ge Xiu gasped, slowly raised his head, and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him.
The dark pupils were as deep as abyss, flashing with a strange luster.
He slowly raised his hand and gently and slowly wiped off the yellow-green juice that had just been splashed on his side face, his face was calm and unwavering.
In fact, from the beginning, Ge Xiu was prepared with both hands.
If the defense is slack, he just leaves.
If well guarded—
Then blow up the ship and leave.
Ge Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the ball that was still flying around him. The bottom of his eyes was dark and opaque, the corners of his blood-stained lips curled up in a slight arc, and his voice was hoarse like rough gravel, and he said quietly:
"If I'm not mistaken, your ship is a pure circuit design."
Just a short sentence, the man behind the monitor couldn't help but suffocate.
In an instant, the feeling of panic struck, he stood up abruptly and roared in a tone-shifting voice to the crew members who were busy looking for loopholes behind him: "Go to the parking bay of the spare ship—quick!"
The silver-white spherical monitor in front of him suddenly trembled as if it was disconnected, and didn't move again.
Ge Xiu withdrew his gaze happily.
From the time he was in the cage, he began to observe quietly - whether it was the cage, the robotic arm, or the neck ring, and then to every place he passed after leaving that room, every structural design, and even resources The configuration layout, even without talking, was constantly revealing information to him.
But after a brief glance, Ge Xiu was basically able to figure out the structure here.
The pure circuit design of the starship has many advantages.
And as long as the automatic current interrupter is placed in the key position, there is almost no possibility of danger.
Except... one weakness.
Their backup ships had to be operational away from the main ship, so it had to be a dual system of circuit design and fuel design - as long as one can overload, it can cause a chain reaction -
Before Ge Xiu was caught, he adjusted the simple current amplifier to maximum power and placed it below the touchpad.
And this gladiatorial fight is a godsend—when everyone pays attention to this bloody event that fights for their lives, it is natural to ignore some seemingly inconspicuous details.
And what Ge Xiu needs to do is just wait.
From the moment he entered this Colosseum, Ge Xiu began to estimate the time—
Waiting for the increased current to blow the circuit, ignite the flame, and blow the fuel tank.
Like overturned dominoes, one by one, all the spare ships exploded one after another, destroying the countermeasure system in the cabin.
Then, the fire ignited a prairie fire, and there was no possibility of reversal.
The disaster would burn the entire Predator along the circuit.
"Boom—"
The muffled cracking sound was transmitted to the ears through the thick wall, as if the seemingly hard iron wall in front of him could fall apart and shatter in an instant.
In the auditorium, the faces of those virtual projections that were previously occupied by fanaticism quickly disappeared one by one.
The crowded auditorium was emptied in an instant, and cracks exploded on the ceiling.
Ge Xiu showed a perfectly curved polite smile, pressed his palm to his chest, and bowed to the empty auditorium.
Like a curtain call.
