[WARNING! WARNING!]
[Ship locked by unknown weapon!]
[WARNING! WARNING!]
[Weapon system out of control!]
[Drive system out of control!]
[Sealing system out of control!]
[..........]
Before Fang Er and the others could comprehend what was happening, alarms blared again inside the White Emperor.
Xi Tong's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. As someone born an AI, she absolutely could not accept her refitted spaceship system being invaded by others.
It was like being violated!
She selectively ignored the world-ending warship outside and directly ripped a data cable from the control panel, gripping it in her hand.
Immediately, her eyes began to flash, as if strings of code were rapidly flipping through them.
But after a few seconds, her body suddenly trembled violently, followed by a mouthful of blood spewing out. She slumped to the side, out of control.
Fang Er, startled, quickly went to support her.
"Tong..."
He had only uttered one word when he felt a powerful electric current hit him.
The next moment, he was sent flying.
Li Shimin, Qin Shi Huang, and the others were terrified!
Fang Er, before their eyes, was ragged and torn. His once handsome spacesuit had become a tattered mess. His black hair stood on end, even emitting wisps of white smoke.
And then there was Xi Tong, her eyes closed, lying on the ground, her body still trembling uncontrollably, her teeth clenched, and white foam even oozing from the corners of her mouth.
"Sun Zhenren!"
"What are you waiting for! Go call Sun Zhenren!"
Wang Xuance was the first to react, kicking Ge Luoyang towards the cabin door.
This journey would last an unknown duration, and to maintain the physical health of his companions, Fang Er had specifically brought Sun Simiao along.
Not only him, but Yuan Tiangang was also on the ship.
For some unknown reason, after locking onto the White Emperor, the world-ending warship outside had not taken any further action, giving everyone a brief window to react.
Sun Simiao was quickly summoned. After a mere glance at Xi Tong from a distance, he frowned deeply.
"How could this be?"
When he arrived, Ge Luoyang had already recounted the events. Initially, he thought it was a problem with that data cable, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that the line had long since lost contact with Xi Tong.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Fang Er, who had been thrown aside, struggled to get up from the floor, coughing out three plumes of smoke, as if even his lungs had been injured.
But Sun Simiao merely glanced at him, without even attempting to take his pulse, and then asked.
"Does your concubine have any history of epilepsy?"
"No!"
Fang Er endured his discomfort and, supported by Wang Xuance, walked over.
Xi Tong's condition was also beyond his understanding.
Her current body was artificially constructed. With the aid of immense energy, every cell was considered perfect. In all these years, she had never even suffered minor ailments like headaches or fevers, let alone epilepsy.
Sun Simiao carefully placed his fingers on Xi Tong's pulse. After confirming he wouldn't be thrown aside like Fang Er, he began his examination with relief.
Moments later, over a dozen fine silver needles, as thin as cow hair, were inserted into Xi Tong's head. As Sun Simiao rhythmically twisted these needles, she finally slowly opened her eyes.
[Quick! Quickly escape!]
As soon as her consciousness returned, she urged Fang Er with a look of terror.
Fang Er was about to ask what had happened when he suddenly heard the sound of the cabin door opening.
He instinctively looked back and saw several small humanoid creatures that had appeared inside the White Emperor at some point, no more than twenty meters away from him!
"Who are you people!"
No longer able to inquire further with Xi Tong, he stood up and pointed his ion gun at the little dwarves, demanding an answer.
The little dwarves stopped upon hearing this. One of them stepped forward and gestured with his hands.
"Hard chest width wide receive Wei Qu, Papa Te Ni Bu Neng Cai Wo Di Qie Er Xi!"
Although the language was different, the Resonance Crest allowed Fang Er to clearly understand the other party's meaning.
"Who is impersonating the great Trisolaran civilization!"
This was the meaning of the little dwarf's words!
Fang Er was stunned!
He had never imagined that the impostor would actually encounter the real deal!
"You, you, you are Trisolarans?"
He stammered, pointing at the little dwarf, and asked.
The little dwarf swept over everyone with arrogance, finally extending a claw and pointing at Fang Er.
"Zao Gao Zao Gao Ou Mai Ga, Mo Fa Zen Me Shi Ling La!"
(Standing before you is the great Trisolaran, fleet number 787, Captain Mo Shi!)
(I now declare that you have become my captives!)
Fang Er: .........
The language of these so-called Trisolarans was so bizarre. The syllables and meanings were completely mismatched!
Either the syllables were too long and the meaning too short, or the syllables were too short and the meaning too long...
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the fellow before him claimed he had been captured?
In other words, the world-ending warship outside belonged to these Trisolarans?
"What did he say?"
Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang, and the others had not yet had the Resonance Crest embedded in their foreheads and could not understand the little dwarf's language. They all looked at Li Shimin in unison.
Li Shimin, reaching for his waist, replied without turning his head.
"He said, we've been captured!"
"Damn it! What nonsense? Captured?"
Qin Shi Huang almost choked to death, his eyes wide like copper bells.
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent but ripped a chair, welded to the floor, and charged towards the little dwarves.
Seeing this, Liu Bang followed.
"Damn it! Capturing us, who gave them the right!"
As rulers of a nation, they would rather die than be captured. This was their bottom line!
Moreover, these little dwarves before them were aliens!
Although Fang Er felt uncertain, seeing their actions, he could only pull the trigger immediately.
Wang Xuance, Ge Luoyang, and others also acted swiftly.
"Biu..... biu..... biu....."
Several ion guns unleashed a barrage of fire at the little dwarves.
But the result was incredibly disheartening!
The little dwarves didn't even dodge. They stood there, seemingly with scornful smiles on their faces, watching everyone.
The cyan ion bullets struck them, not even causing a splash of blood, let alone breaking their clothes!
