Chapter 89 Survivors

"No survivors were found on the first floor"

"No survivors were found on the second floor"

"Third floor."

The commander of the Imbechi Marine Corps received reports from various teams that no survivors were found on the entire cruise ship!

"Order the airport to scan the cruise ship for life signals! Execute code 004," the commander ordered into the communicator.

Because the outer shells of interstellar spacecraft are all designed to be radiation-proof, a very high-power generator is required to detect signs of life in the spacecraft. This high-power detection wave has a slight hazard to the human body and is only approved for use under special circumstances.

A radar-style life detector above the spaceport slowly turned to the direction of the decelerating Quantum, and the invisible detection wave was emitted, penetrating the thick outer shell of the Quantum.

Drip, drip, drip, the system sent out a series of alarm sounds, and the technicians hurriedly enlarged the perspective view.

"Sir, a survivor has been found in the water tank on the upper part of the spacecraft. His life signs are already very weak. Please start rescue immediately!" The technician hurriedly reported to the upper level.

The Marines in the spacecraft received the order and ran towards the water tank compartment. After a few minutes, the door of the water tank compartment was slowly opened.

"There!" A marine who came to the waterside pointed at a protrusion in the water and shouted.

Several marines immediately jumped into the water, and the tentacles on the mushroom cap slid in the water...

In the Ceres Hospital a few days later, Ai Mengqi slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.

"Where am I... where am I?"

Suddenly a steady male voice came from the side:

"Ms. Ai Mengqi, I am the Empire's diplomat stationed in Ceres, responsible for the relevant matters of the Empire's citizens traveling here."

Ai Mengqi turned her drowsy head in the direction of the voice and found a middle-aged man with a beard sitting beside the bed.

Ai Mengqi, who was originally confused, woke up instantly, and her hands frantically touched her neck until she felt the metal pendant hanging on her neck and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Diplomat, cough, we were attacked by the people of Imbechi, and we must report to the Empire!" Ai Mengqi reached out and grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and whispered.

"But there is no evidence. The security computer storing the video has been destroyed! The Empire's investigation team will be here in a few days. You can rest assured and recover from your injuries." The middle-aged man sighed.

"I..." Ai Mengqi wanted to say something, but stopped instantly. She didn't trust this diplomat very much. It would be better to wait until the Empire's investigation team came before handing them the evidence.

A shuttle-shaped fast shuttle slowly docked in the spaceport of Ceres. Dozens of Imperial Marines in black power armor escorted five investigation team officials into the spaceport.

"Welcome to the investigation team of the Sith Empire. We have prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Come and taste the unique food of our Ceres." The receptionist who had been waiting for a long time came up.

The officer of the inspection team shook his head and said:

"Let's go and see the surviving Ms. Ai Mengqi first and learn about what happened!"

After that, the inspection team walked towards the hospital in the spaceport under the escort of the soldiers.

Bang, bang, bang, a knock on the door came, waking up Ai Mengqi who was in a daze.

"Please come in." Ai Mengqi said softly.

The door of the ward opened to both sides, and several officials in black robes walked in, while dozens of guards stayed in the corridor.

"You must be Ai Mengqi. We are the special investigation team of the Empire. Please tell us what happened on the Quantum." An official said.

"That day............" Ai Mengqi slowly told the investigation team what happened that day.

"I saved the video of this massacre! It's in this storage device!" Ai Mengqi took off the silver pendant from her neck and handed it to the leading official.

The official put the pendant in his palm, and soon a bright light flashed, and dozens of holographic screens appeared in front of everyone. The screens played the surveillance effects of various places during the banquet that day.

As time went on, suddenly on a screen showing the picture in the corridor, a huge drill drilled into the corridor of the Quantum. As the drill split like a petal, more than a dozen "fungus" Imbechi people rushed out with guns.

"This is! This is the equipment of the Imbechi military!" an official said in a lost voice, but the crowd did not respond, but continued to stare at the screens.

After a while, the scene of the massacre in the central hall was displayed in front of everyone, and several officials clenched their fists tightly.

"Beasts! They are all beasts! The Empire will avenge them!" Tears overflowed from the eyes of the leading official.

"The dignity of the Empire cannot be trampled on! This matter is very serious! It must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor urgently!" An official was about to upload the video to the Empire's database, but was stopped by the leading official.

"We are now in the territory of the Imbechi Alliance. They will intercept our information and we will alert the enemy."

The official nodded and put back the unfolded communicator.

You wait, I will go back to the Empire in person, and each of you must download a backup!

After that, the leading official turned and walked towards the shuttle-shaped spaceship, waved his hand to let the soldiers stay in the airport to protect Ai Mengqi, and he boarded the spaceship alone.

A few days later, the fast shuttle arrived in the empire. After making sure that the communication would not be intercepted, the leading official sneered and dialed Li Mingze's secret line.

"Long live His Majesty! Our plan has been successful!" The leading official saluted the holographic screen.

Li Mingze on the screen nodded.

"Very good, continue according to the follow-up plan." After that, Li Mingze's figure disappeared from the screen.

Time goes back to a month ago.

In the empire, on a lava star that flashes red light, there is the empire's largest prison for death row prisoners. The purpose of this prison is to allow death row prisoners to dig a rare crystal on the lava star with a harsh environment.

Because the unique magnetic field of this crystal makes it impossible for any computer equipment to get close, it can only be mined by manpower.

On this day, a huge escort spaceship greeted the sky above the prison. As the spaceship slowly landed on the apron, one by one, the selected death row prisoners lined up with handcuffs and leg irons and walked into the escort spaceship.

After everyone got on board, the spaceship sprayed blue flames and left the lava star.

On the new home star, a huge gray building stood on a huge island, and the words of the Third Special Research Institute were sprayed on the outside of the building.

The escort ship slowly landed on the apron next to the gray building, and the Imperial Royal Guards in black and gold power armor stepped forward to escort the prisoners one by one to the Third Research Institute.

As the huge gate of the institute slowly fell, these death row prisoners lost all contact with the outside world.
