Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Anger (Added for book friend Kong Yu) (Third update)

"Damn it! Those bastards."

Mia’s expression instantly darkened, and she cursed in anger.

"Teacher, what do we do now? How do we save so many people?"

"The information we had before was completely different. Didn’t they say there weren’t many survivors?"

Rhein and the others were immediately anxious.

They had originally thought of a refuge point—to find a few hundred survivors was already a lot, but instead, they were hiding so many survivors.

Su Ming sighed slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Enough said, I’ll report to Captain Wang Sheng first."

Mia replied very irritably.

Rhein and the others immediately shut their mouths, as Mia opened the group communication, her voice filled with annoyance.

"Captain Wang Sheng, this is Teacher Mia. We have arrived at NO.17 safe haven, and we have found over ten thousand survivors here. What should we do next?"

"Over ten thousand? Mia, are you sure?"

Wang Sheng’s astonished voice immediately sounded in the communication channel.

"I am sure!"

Mia replied confidently.

"How could there be so many survivors?"

Arico and the other teachers were also stunned.

However, at that moment, Tang Xuan’s voice also rose, filled with extreme anger.

"I am Tang Xuan, now arrived at NO.18 safe haven, and we here have discovered over ten thousand survivors. Who issued this mission and concealed such crucial information? I will definitely lodge a complaint with the military tribunal!"

"God, how many survivors are there really?"

Lu Ye, a teacher from class 19, said with a massive headache.

"Everyone, please calm down. Now is not the time to pursue these responsibilities. The priority now is to rescue the survivors; they are all citizens of our Federation!"

Captain Wang Sheng said, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions.

"How are we supposed to rescue them? Just with this few people?"

Mia asked coldly.

"Seek help from Colonel Xiao Ye, ask the mother ship to dispatch small rescue boats here, and have all students currently out in battle formations to come in and help."

Captain Wang Sheng bravely gave his suggestions.

"Let’s do that then. There isn’t much choice left."

Arico, Tang Xuan, and the others agreed.

"Okay!"

Captain Wang Sheng replied, letting out a long sigh of relief.

In the command room of the Red Teeth.

Colonel Xiao Ye sat silently in the command chair, his expression very cold.

Vice Principal Fleck, on the other hand, paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, muttering non-stop.

"They’ve been in there so long, why hasn’t there been any feedback? There couldn’t be a problem, could there? No, that’s a jinxed thought; no news is good news, they should have asked for help by now if there really was a problem..."

Just then, a distress signal popped up on the mother ship’s operation screen.

Lieutenant An Jie immediately reported to Xiao Ye.

"Sir, we have received a distress signal from Captain Wang Sheng!"

"Quickly see what happened."

Vice Principal Fleck immediately rushed over.

Colonel Xiao Ye expressionlessly extended his hand to open the distress message, his gaze becoming cold as he read the contents.

Fleck’s old face turned red with anger, and he said furiously.

"The bastards! These guys definitely hid the information on purpose."

"Lord Fleck, now is not the time for that. The important thing is whether to rescue or not. If we are to rescue, we need to dispatch a large number of rescue boats, and all students on standby outside must be brought in to help."

Colonel Xiao Ye replied sternly.

"Isn’t that a stupid question? How could we not rescue them?"

Fleck sprayed out angrily, "If we hadn’t taken this mission, we could have chosen to look away. But now that we’ve accepted it and know there are so many survivors, we must rescue them to the end."

"I understand. Relay my orders, release the rescue ships and command the external mechas to assist the rescue ships."

Colonel Xiao Ye gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Lieutenant An Jie immediately executed Colonel Xiao Ye’s orders.

In the starry sky, a Level 4 mother ship opened several ship exits.

Small rescue ships, shaped like plump fish, flew out.

These small rescue ships were 10 meters tall, 9 meters wide, and 100 meters long. They were standard-equipped to rescue 1,000 people, but if forced, they could squeeze in 1,500-2,000 people. They could only be used for short-distance rescues.

As these small rescue ships flew to the entrance of Zone H1 on the Nautilus.

Students piloted the Iron Guards, escorting the small rescue ships into the interior of the Nautilus.

These Iron Guards flew in front of the rescue ships, using their hands to clear larger floating obstructions, clearing the path for the small rescue ships.

Soon, the small rescue spacecraft, under the protection of the mechas, successfully entered the massive living area of the Nautilus.

At that moment, a series of voices sounded in their public communication channel.

"I am Rescue Ship 1, I have entered the living area, please provide the rescue location."

"Thank you very much. Please proceed immediately to safety refuge points NO.17 and NO.18 for evacuation. The specific coordinates have already been sent to you."

Captain Wang Sheng quickly said.

"Yes, Sir."

One after another, the rescue ships flew toward the locations where Su Ming and Tang Xuan were.

At this moment, Wang Sheng said to the other teachers,

"Please, hurry to check other safety refuge points to see how many survivors there are."

"Understood!"

Steady voices responded.

At this time, Su Ming and others stood quietly outside the safety refuge point.

Before long, the first rescue ship arrived here, escorted by four Iron Guards.

The small rescue ship began to adjust its angle, its side facing the entrance of the safety refuge point’s corridor. Then, it extended a tube that directly attached to the emergency port on the safe door.

Click!

The emergency port automatically opened inward.

"Quick, get into the rescue ship."

Su Ming and the others saw the docking was complete and loudly urged the people inside the refuge to board using the mechas.

One by one, the relieved citizens joyfully swam through the tube directly onto the ship.

Before long, the first rescue spacecraft was full and flew away, and the second rescue ship immediately took its place.

Inside the command room of the Nautilus.

The tumorous sphere-like Chilami, like lightning, dashed around violently.

One by one, the Iron Guards frantically dodged, but it was too fast; another Iron Guard was hit and exploded to pieces.

Arico angrily lowered his Beam Cannon, firing a shot at Chilami.

Regrettably, it deftly dodged the attack!

Boom!

The beam exploded on the wall.

"Damn!"

Arico went full power, the Jet Wings on his back spewing hot flames as he attacked the Chilami.

"Be careful!"

Professor Cheng Ke immediately issued a warning.

At that moment, the Chilami, like a bouncing ball, collided with the metal wall and then rebounded back toward Captain Arico. As it neared, it once again sprouted numerous sharp tumorous spikes.

Captain Arico was startled and immediately activated the Energy Barrier.

Bang!

The Energy Barrier instantly shattered.
