Chapter 1152: En Route
Dr. Luo took the lead and boarded the spaceship first, followed by the ten students led by Ji You, with Principal Hong being the last to board. It was a small spaceship with a limited carrying capacity, accommodating a maximum of just over fifty people. However, the ship was fully equipped with a lounge, training room, weapons room... everything was complete.
Just as Ji You’s group put down their luggage and prepared to rest in their respective cabins to recharge, a broadcast sounded from the spaceship: "Attention all passengers, the spaceship’s automatic mode will stop in three minutes. At that time, the ship may deviate from its original course. Dr. Luo and I are both busy, so you’re on your own. Good luck."
Everyone: "!!!"
Ji You quickly activated the voice link feature and asked, "Principal, if the spaceship deviates from its original course and heads off to another route, what happens to our competition?"
Principal Hong said, "If you can’t participate on time, you’ll automatically forfeit. Do you really need to ask?"
Ji You’s mouth twitched, and the expressions on everyone’s faces weren’t any better. At that moment, the spaceship began sounding the alarm for the stopping of automatic mode, prompting Ji You to grit her teeth and say to Chu Jiaojiao and the others, "Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, you both head to the cockpit now."
Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing quickly moved upon hearing this.
minutes.
minute.
seconds.
...
In the final three seconds before the automatic mode stopped, Chu Jiaojiao leapt and secured the console, correcting the ship’s course.
