Ch 14
There was boundless rubbish as far as the eye could see and the dirty air was filled with the stench on the level of bio-chemical weapons.
The hatch opened.
The crew stood on their two legs as soft as noodles and rushed out of the burned incomplete ship door unsteadily and then began to vomit wildly, feeling nauseous and dizzy.
It’s not because of the smell.
It’s because of their captain’s fatal sailing skills.
Xiao Yi got tortured the most and vomited the most fiercely, almost throwing up his insides in the process.
As the culprit, Ge Xiu didn’t seem to have the slightest guilt. He stretched out his stiff limbs, and the bones made a slight rubbing sound under the muscles, he squinted his eyes like a cat.
In the distant sky, the lonely Alliance warship was slowing down and approaching the surface of the planet, and it seems that it was also preparing to land.
Ge Xiu shouted: “Pack the materials and evacuate.”
The crew also knew their priorities. They rushed back to the cabin at the fastest speed in hurried footsteps, took the materials, weapons and tools they depended on for survival and followed behind Ge Xiu, to quickly leave the ship.
They stumbled and ran forward in the billowing garbage dump. After walking a certain distance, Ge Xiu suddenly stopped his steps and then dodged and hid behind the steel wreck leaning on the garbage mountain. He made a ‘follow’ gesture to the others. Although the crew members were confused, they still followed Ge Xiu obediently and looked in the direction they came from through the cracks in the wreck.
Not far away was a battleship with a burnt and broken cockpit, emitting black smoke. The front part was stuck in a soft garbage dump. The middle section was torn revealing the steel skeleton, which looked horrible. The hatch was wide open, and you could vaguely see the empty space inside.
On a flat and gentle slope behind, the Alliance warship was slowly landing and a group of men in Alliance army uniforms came out from the open hatch, loaded with guns and live ammunition. They cautiously approached warship that used to be Alliance’s. After confirming that there was no enemy in ambush inside, the advance troops cautiously walked into the opened cabin.
Ge Xiu bent his eyes, a pure and gentle smile overflowed on his lips and he silently mouthed a word-
bang.
As if they had touched some switch, the remaining hull of the warship exploded suddenly and the deafening sound spread across the planet. The bright flames rushed into the sky and the scorching shock wave almost knocked the Alliance forces surrounding the ship to the ground. From this distance they could only vaguely hear panicked cries of the Alliance’s army and the appearance of little figures in dark blue uniforms quickly evacuating outside of the ship.
Obviously, fuel alone can’t cause such an explosion.
Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Ge Xiu dumbfounded, barely able to utter a syllable from shock.
