Chapter 1694 Rescue

It doesn't matter whether the ship girl is strong-willed or not. Anyway, she thinks it's fun to hit people with her head. And what Hao Ren cares about now is no longer the three pirate ships that fell into the cracks of the planet, but It was the white flying ship that was floating among the sea of ​​clouds and seemed ready to explode and disintegrate at any time.

That ship was two times smaller than the Giant Turtle Platform, but it was still considered a large ship. Perhaps it was precisely because this huge size gave it good protection and damage tolerance that it was able to survive being attacked by pirate ships. It was still barely afloat after bombing for such a long time, but just looking at the miserable appearance of the ship at this moment, even thinking with gallstones, you can conclude that it can no longer hold on for much longer.

There were countless large holes in the ship, and sparks spread along the metal parts of unknown purpose. White sheet-like structures like sails drooped on both sides of the ship, and a large part of them had obviously merged with the hull. The actual connection was lost, and only a little residual structure was barely maintained. Hao Ren didn't know what those sail-like things were for, but when he saw the large number of pipes and lines that were broken between the "sails" and the hull, he was confused. Understand that they must be super important.

Then there is definitely no way to save this ship - unless the Lahirian people have pointed out Nolan's black technology that can repair itself with only a steering wheel.

"Get closer, be careful, don't accidentally knock someone apart," Hao Ren directed Nolan to get closer to the white flying ship, "I feel like the ship is about to fall if I blow my breath..."

Nolan adjusted the angle as instructed and cautiously moved closer to the white flying ship. But the moment she started to move, the picture from the external monitor showed that the humanoid creatures on the deck of the white ship were in panic. : They started running around in panic.

The data terminal fell on the console with a clatter: "... Damn it, the collision with three ships just now must have caused a psychological shadow on people. They most likely think that we are taking aim."

Hao Ren felt that the data terminal had told the truth, and he looked at Nolan helplessly: "Look at how you ruined your image... Find a way to send a goodwill signal to the people on that ship, otherwise I'm worried about them jumping off the ship. .”

Nolan thought for a moment and flashed his headlights at the white flying ship not far away...

Charlemagne and his guards rushed onto the deck. The cold wind in the high-altitude open environment was separated by a magic barrier. Behind the translucent magic barrier, he stared dumbly at the silver-white giant ship slowly adjusting its direction. And moved closer to the White Pearl.

Everyone on the deck - both the experienced crew and the brave passengers - all screamed.

Charlemagne also clenched the long sword in his hand immediately. He witnessed with his own eyes how the silver-white ship crashed into three pirate ships - swatting them down one by one like flies, ruthlessly and unstoppably. Although when it initially attacked the pirates, it seemed that it might be an ally, but when it turned the ship's bow towards this side, everyone felt that their legs were weak.

Then Charlemagne saw several bright lights suddenly appear in front of the silver-white ship, and then flashed a few more times.

"Your Highness," a personal guard came over and whispered nervously, "please leave here, it is very dangerous..."

"Don't panic!" Charlemagne said, "Don't do anything stupid like abandoning the ship and escaping at this time. The silver-white ship should not be hostile."

"How did you know..."

"Can't you see it's slowing down?" Charlemagne said angrily, "And it didn't have lights when it hit those pirates!"

As he spoke, a gap suddenly opened in the bow of the silver-white ship, and then a deafening voice suddenly came from it: "Ships ahead, please stay calm and quiet... We have no hostile intentions... ...Repeat, please keep the ships ahead..."

Only then did the panicked crowd on the deck of the White Pearl really calm down.

On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai, Hao Ren turned off the microphone and turned towards the bridge exit: "Let's go down and have some contact with the locals."

Leah was still in a daze at this time: "Since your spacecraft has speakers and language interpretation functions, why did you turn on the lights just now?"

Nolan explained a little awkwardly: "I forgot about this new device - how could a normal spacecraft think of having a loudspeaker on its head that can make sounds to the outside world? Who is shouting in space?"

Leah glanced at Hao Ren, who was walking in front, and then at Nolan, who was left on the bridge with an embarrassed look on his face, and thought thoughtfully: "This design is a bit confusing..."

Four humans, one man and three women, walked out of the silver-white giant ship. They used some kind of beam-like "magic" to come to the deck of the White Pearl. Although they were wearing strange clothes, their obvious human characteristics at least dissuaded Charlie. Mann's doubts about "visitors from the abyss" and "ancient wanderers".

Even if the other party is driving an airship that can't fly anywhere, at least there are people of the same kind inside who can communicate, and since they can communicate, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem.

However, Charlemagne still controlled the urge to go forward and talk to the man and three women: of course he hoped to understand the current situation as soon as possible and establish communication with the silver-white ship that was most likely from a strange force, but he had been trained for many years. And education made him understand that he was no longer safe around him, and there might still be eyes from unknown places lurking here. In this case, he must continue to keep a low profile.

The personal guards also performed their duties well, scattered around seemingly casually like ordinary passengers, watching the movements of everyone on the scene.

After Hao Ren came to the deck of the "White Ship", his first feeling was that this ship must not be able to stay. The constant slight tremors under his feet and the obviously skewed deck proved that this thing was about to completely lose power and control, unless the ship was on board. There is a group of black-tech damage control teams that can ride on boilers to return to port when a ship disintegrates. Otherwise, no one will be able to save the day.

Of course, letting the self-disciplined machines carried by Nolan busy might be able to forcibly extend the life of the ship. If the life extension is too much, it will give the ship the ability to rush out of outer space at thirty times the speed of light, but This is not the purpose of Hao Ren coming here.

"Who's in charge here?" he shouted. "Send someone to talk to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the crowd standing in the distance disperse a little, and then a strong bear-like man wearing a long white coat, a gray beard and hair, accompanied by two crew members, came towards this side. come over.

"I am the captain of the White Pearl, Boken Gillian," the strong bear-like old man said, "Thank you very much for your rescue. May I ask..."

"Don't ask yet, I'll ask. Time is running out," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Can your ship still be repaired?"

The old captain was choked for a moment, but he answered quickly: "Frankly speaking, it can't be repaired, and it will only be a matter of time before it crashes."

The surrounding crew members and a few passengers had sad looks on their faces after hearing this, but no one panicked - the situation had deteriorated to this point, and those who dared to stand on the deck were basically aware of the situation in front of them. , those who still had illusions were still huddled in the cabin and shivering.

Hao Ren had expected this answer. He waved his hand and said, "Then don't waste time. Come with me and board the ship!"

The old captain didn't even hesitate for a second. He turned around and shouted to the first mate and second mate: "Organize everyone to get on the deck! Procedure No. 3, board the ship and escape!"

The sailors immediately acted efficiently under the captain's orders.

At this time, a hatch not far away suddenly opened, and several dirty crew members ran out of it. Behind the crew members was a long-haired girl in a long skirt - the girl was also covered in dirt. Dirty, patches of gray-black oil even covered the original color of that beautiful dress. She seemed to be busy down there and didn't know what was going on outside. Now she saw a huge silver-white spaceship floating in the sky, and the pirates around her had gone somewhere unknown. The girl's face was filled with astonishment.

She ran to the captain: "Captain Boken, something happened..."

"Miss Evanna," the captain said quickly before the girl could finish speaking, "The White Pearl was seriously damaged and we are transferring passengers. Please follow my first mate. We are preparing to transfer to the silver-white flying ship. Get on the boat."

The girl called Evanna was stunned for a moment, her eyes quickly swept between the silver spaceship and Hao Ren, and then she noticed the serious expression on Captain Boken's face and nodded slightly: "I understand. But. My brother..."

"I'm here," Charlemagne walked quickly to Alvina, "Avenna, are you okay?"

"It's okay, the magic center exploded, but I was not injured," the long-haired girl said as she wiped her oily face with her sleeves, while her eyes swept over Hao Ren and his party calmly, "Brother ,they are……"

"They were the ones who dealt with the pirates," the man with gray curly hair said concisely. "The White Pearl can't hold on any longer, so we can only accept their kindness."

Evana blinked: "...understand."

Hao Ren watched the actions of these Lahirians from a short distance the whole time. In his opinion, these "air crash parties" acted very efficiently. Although there were some panicked passengers, most of them were operating in an orderly manner. They carried out the evacuation mission quickly and accurately, especially the crew members. They also followed the orders and prohibitions in such a chaotic and critical situation, and acted quickly and accurately, just like well-trained soldiers.

But because he didn't know the situation in this world, Hao Ren didn't know whether the performance of these people could represent the average level of the Lahirien people.

He also noticed the long-haired girl who ran up from the lower deck and the young man with extraordinary temperament and gray curly hair, but his eyes did not stay on those two people for too long - their clothes and surroundings There is not much difference between ordinary passengers, their words and deeds are normal, there is nothing worth worrying about.
