Chapter 129: CH 129

The ship looked undamaged. To probably let them see the people inside, they had all been herded together in front of the ship’s viewing glass.

Thousands of people were crammed into one pile, almost on top of one another.

“See, they are all there.” The Tsunami Star Pirates called and said, “All alive and kicking, no damage. But of course, we can’t help if there are broken feet,  dislocated bones, or crooked wigs… ”

“Come on in, Shi Nian, sir.”

As they spoke, the emergency access to the ship’s connection opened. It was designed for docking with mechs in special circumstances.

The mech could drive straight in, but Lu Bo Ting’s hand did not press the forward button immediately.

At the same time, Shi Nian said, “Wait a moment.”

After all, he had to look like he was hesitating.

The other side had been pretentious and was making them move in circles, but they were too cooperative.

“What, are you afraid?” The voice on the other side of the call sneered and hang up.

Lu Bo Ting looked at the rearview mirror, and the supposedly scared Shi Nian even yawned.

However, although the movement was casual, his eyes were serious.

“Impressive! ” He suddenly said, “From the Bai family to the Wu family to the Yan of the Federation, I’m afraid all the tactics used together are not as clever as this one. They had managed to get them here without fail, afterall. ”

It was very flattering to him.

It’s finally time to not be considered a soft persimmon. It’s also possible that they were trying to get Lu Bo Ting to come along with him, so they put more thought into the scheme.

After all, the Imperial God of War had to be given face.

The mecha drove in, and they went inside.

However, there were no Tsunami star pirates to be seen, just a ship full of interstellar residents.

Most of them were from the Empire, but there were also some from other countries.

At that moment, everyone was crowded and squeezed together. One man was even about to have his foot in the mouth of the child next to him, who was probably incontinent with fear or too young to hold it in. The person next to them was even drenched in sweat.

The others, of course, were no better off. With so many people crushed together, even a strong man of 1.9 meters and 180 pounds might not be able to bear it, let alone the fact that most were average people.

There were two tender little girls pinned underneath, looking like they were out of breath and almost passing out.

“Hurry up and help all the people up.” Lu Bo Ting said.

Shi Nian nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he released a few robots from inside his space bag.

Lu Bo Ting: “……you even brought these?”

“It’s good to be prepared.” Shi Nian said, “After all, last time I went out with little star, it was quite useful.”

So he bought some on one shopping trip and kept them all with him. Previously, there had just been no time to use them, but now that he had found a use for them, he naturally let them out.

When the robots came out, naturally, the ‘machines’ were more efficient.

In no time at all, the people were untied and helped to their feet. For those who had been injured, medical robots came up and gave them simple bandages.

Those who were dislocated also had their bones corrected.

During this time, there was a man who kept glaring at Shi Nian viciously.

When Shi Nian walked past, he suddenly thrust his knife at him.

However, this kind of attack was not in the eyes of Shi Nian. He dodged it with a side-step, and Lu Bo Ting, who had been watching the man, immediately reached out and grabbed the man with a twist, thus controlling him.

However, while the two of them were calm, the rescued people were terrified, each of them looking at the people around them in a panic, deeply afraid that there would be another one with a knife to stab them.

“It’s just him.” Shi Nian said, “And it was so obvious that he didn’t even try to hide it from us.”

Some lucky passengers were not badly hurt. Aside from not eating for over a day, they were okay.

They were given tubes of nutrient solution and then started to help look after the others.

A gentle looking male guide wearing glasses couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

“Yes!” A young girl next to him picked up, “Shouldn’t he have disguised his hostility and taken advantage of people? He was so obvious. ”

“Yeah, so what were you trying to achieve by being so obvious?” Shi Nian looked at the man who was restrained by Lu Bo Ting and said, “And I also paid attention to the fact that you had a somewhat puzzled and sad expression on your face when you thought we weren’t looking…..”

“I guess the sadness is that you’re dying, and the puzzlement is because you’re wondering why the bombs didn’t go off!”

“What, bombs?” Someone jumped in shock.

That’s when the man said viciously, “Why didn’t the bombs go off? Why didn’t they go off? ”

“Yeah, why didn’t they go off?” Shi Nian replied languidly, following his words.

“They didn’t explode?”

“What exactly does that mean?”

“I think they didn’t because it’s been torn down!” The male guide with glasses said.

Shi Nian shook his head, “It’s almost the same, though they haven’t been dismantled. They won’t go off for a while anyway.” He said, and pointed to a few locations, “Boss, you can dismantle them. I don’t have a bomb disposal function in these robots…..”

Lu Bo Ting made a hand slash and the man he was holding fell unconscious. He turned his head and went over to one of the places Shi Nian pointed out.

The Tsunami star pirates were probably afraid to leave any chance of them surviving, so there were no fewer than ten bombs in the area where Shi Nian and the others were standing, and other areas too.

Lu Bo Ting quickly removed one, but there were many more waiting for him.

Shi Nian let out a ‘tsk’, “I should have gotten some bomb disposal robots.”

Unfortunately, he hadn’t thought of it earlier. Besides, he obviously wouldn’t have seen them in the middle of his casual shopping. After all, this kind of robot certainly wasn’t for sale to the public.

“So, that ……” Two people stepped forward, “We both studied this, but we haven’t graduated yet, never dismantled one really….”

“Then it’s better not to!” Someone next to them said, “Look at you all talking while shaking. Although self-confidence is not always needed to succeed, what if your hand trembles and sets the bomb off? This is not a joke.””

“That’s right, take your time, there’s no rush, we can’t afford any mistakes.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The people next to him also followed suit.

Those two students were also worried that their own level was not enough, and upon hearing this, they instantly shrank back.

However, they were immediately dragged out by Shi Nian, who said, “It’s okay, just do it. They won’t blow up within half an hour. So, just hurry up and finish dismantling. ”

“Do you want tools? I’ll go get them for you. ”

“C-can this work out?”

“That’s right, will it really not explode?”

Shi Nian was about to say it would not, when Lu Bo Ting violently demolished one. Looking at it like this, those who do not know how to do it could also see how he casually dismantled it with the strength of one kick.

“Oh…..” Someone muttered, “It seems like they really won’t blow up.”

Well, who wouldn’t join in dismantling bombs if they wouldn’t blow up?

Someone immediately stepped forward and said, “Move over, I’ll do it too. Who can’t do one kick?”

“Yeah yeah! I’ll help. ” This thing won’t blow up now, but who knows if it will in the future, so hurry up and dismantle it for peace of mind!

After all, these were bombs, not to mention a real one. Even the model is quite scary.

All of them were dismantled in no time under the direction of Shi Nian.

All the destroyed bombs were then gathered together, and Lu Bo Ting was responsible for the final debris disposal.

He gave Shi Nian a quick glance, never expecting him to have this kind of skill.

The Tsunami Star pirates had put someone with the obvious intention of stabbing them to draw their attention, but the real killers were these bombs that were meant to go off.

They should have detonated the moment they came in, but they hadn’t gone off until now. No doubt it was all Shi Nian’s doing.

“I swept through with my divine sense, oh….my spiritual sense before coming up here, and knew about these bombs. ” Shi Nian said, “So, I took care of them before we came up.”

Lu Bo Ting: “So apart from the purpose of fooling the other side that you were anxious, was this another reason you asked me to first wait before flying the mecha in?”

“You knew from the start that tsunami pirates weren’t on the ship?”

Shi Nian nodded.

“Isn’t it good?” He said, “I’d rather face these bombs than face the one of them holding a hostage. At least these are easier to control. ”

Lu Bo Ting: “How did you do it?”

Even now, he still thinks it was amazing. He had been extra careful when defusing the first one, only to find that, according to the display on the bomb, it was supposed to have exploded.

Surprisingly, it remained like that and didn’t go off until he finished dismantling.

What was there not to understand when he happened to hear Shi Nian saying they wouldn’t blow up?

So the latter was much more powerful.

“Simple.” Shi Nian said, “By making time standstill, the bombs were expected to go off immediately, but if time stood still, they would never go off.”

Immediately, Lu Bo Ting said, “If it’s simply a matter of making time stand still, then how come we can still move? And even if the timer stopped there and didn’t make it to zero, why didn’t our crude dismantling methods set them off? ”

Shi Nian explained the concept of time to him carefully.

People are moving, the wind is moving, the clouds are moving, everything is moving, which means time is passing. But when it all stops moving, does it mean time has also stopped? ”

Don’t fridges now lock things up to keep them fresh? In fact, that’s a kind of time freeze for food. It’s not completely time freeze, it’s like a slower time flow. I just stopped the time flow for the bomsb. Of course, the technique is higher than the existing science. Anyway, they would not go off no matter what was done to them, as long as time was still paused. ”

But as soon as Shi Nian resumed their time flow, time would have caught up and these bombs would have exploded at the same time, as they should have done.

“Throw the debris out of the ship.”

Shi Nian said.

After dealing with these bombs, the rest was much easier.

Luckily, the original pilot of the ship was still there, and nothing was dislocated or injured.

The star pirates probably didn’t think Shi Nian would survive, so they didn’t put any obstacles in their way.

Aside from one of the flight attendants who had broken his foot, the others were already back in their normal routine, comforting other passengers and tending to the injured.

With the addition of Shi Nian’s robots, this ship quickly returned to normal conditions and began to move on to the regular flight path.

They also immediately contacted the Imperial Flight General Management side to report their position and then followed the command to first land on the nearest planet.

Once they were back on the regular flight path and in no danger, Shi Nian and Lu Bo Ting left in their mecha to rejoin Xue Chi and the others.

And it was only now that it really dawned on many of the survivors on the ship that they had actually survived the hijacking.

“I was so flustered earlier that I forgot to say thank you to Shi Nian and that beautiful sister. ” Someone suddenly reacted and said.

(They didn’t recognize Lu Bo Ting in the female outfit.)

“I forgot too.” This person looked around before continuing, “Don’t look at me. I was the first to get up and help someone undo the ropes, but I was actually mechanical. My mind was on autopilot at that time. ”

“I panicked even more. That Star pirate with the knife was right next to me, and I didn’t even see it!”

“Thank you, brother Shi. You came quickly and reliably, and saved my dog life. ”

Starnet was the first to learn that everyone had been rescued, and by the time they landed on a spaceship, there was already all kinds of news about it.

And many journalists were waiting to interview the people.

But the airport refused them all, and arranged for them to go through a special channel and be put up in a hotel first.

After the surprise, there were still some people who had not reacted to it. Requests for interviews kept pouring in. If they were willing, the hotel would not stop anyone from taking one.

But it was impossible for reporters to  enter the hotel to do interviews.

“I’ve seen the news that they’ve all come back, and none of them are missing. Is it true or false? ”

“It’s true.”

Although many of the people went to the hotel to look for a bed, after all, they hadn’t slept during this period and were sleepy. There were also those whose bodies were sending out sleep signals, but whose minds were not picking them up.

“I’m one of the survivors. I didn’t get injured, I just drank a child’s urine… and I will never forget it all my life. And, I’m not going to lie to you, but, from now on, I hope children will stay three meters or more away from me. ”

“I had a dislocated arm, which was healed after a trip to the medical cabin, but I still feel the pain. I hate the Tsunami Star pirates. PS: Everyone did come back, alive and well. Shi Nian was very handsome, and the girl who came with him was cool too.”

“A girl? Wasn’t he with Lu Bo Ting. ”

“I’m sure Marshal Lu was not allowed to go. But I heard that sister was really brave, she dismantled a bomb with one foot. ”

“They had quite a tacit understanding. When Shi Nian said “boss”, she immediately understood… wait, boss? Why would Shi Nian call her boss? ”

“It is said that Shi Nian calls Marshal Lu boss, does he have a second boss?”

“It’s as if I’ve discovered something amazing.”

“Hahahaha.” On the way back, Shi Nian laughed so hard he couldn’t sit up.

Lu Bo Ting said helplessly, “You did that on purpose!”

Deliberately shouting “boss.”

“No, really.” He didn’t admit it, “I just accidentally called you. Otherwise, you didn’t even get a fake name. ”

He talked righteously, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.

Lu Bo Ting: “……”

Ink Dragon, who rarely came out to let off steam, couldn’t help but interject, “The expression on the master’s face right now means just one thing, which is, ‘Do you think I believe it’.”

“Why don’t you believe it?” Shi Nian said, “He looks so good in female clothes. Of course I want to enjoy it exclusively. How could I tell anyone else?”

Ink Dragon: “It makes sense, but I feel like something is wrong.”

Lu Bo Ting: “Because he’s fooling you.”

Shi Nian laughed out loud.

“Boss, you look good dressed like this. You should ask your mother to pick out two more dresses for you later, and… keep them. ”

“There is news from Xue Chi.” Lu Bo Ting helplessly interrupted his fantasies, “They had some miscalculations previously, and couldn’t pinpoint the final position the Star pirates gave us…but as luck would have it, they happened to hit on the location of the Tsunami Star Pirate’s den. ”

And now, we have them surrounded.
