Chapter 782: Chapter 490: Space Station, Making a Run for It

The spacecraft sent by the K54 Star Orbital Space Station wasn’t very big. It was a medium-sized manned starship that slowly landed outside the base’s gate.

Wang Zhifan let the silver-haired middle-aged woman walk in front, responsible for communicating with the people disembarking from the spacecraft.

"Ma’am, why are there so many people? The communication said only two were going to the Space Station."

A man wearing a black helmet and a gray combat suit seemed puzzled as he saw almost ten people boarding and asked the person in charge of the ground base.

"Soldier, they are newly chosen employee representatives who need to give detailed business reports to the officers. They must go up together."

The silver-haired middle-aged woman immediately responded calmly, exuding an undeniable authority.

The soldier asking the question then said no more, stepped aside to let them board, and before long, the spaceship ignited and flew into space.

"Boss, isn’t this going a bit too smoothly?"

In the slightly crowded cabin due to the number of people, the shopkeeper player waited for a while before whispering in Wang Zhifan’s ear.

This time, it seemed like his true self had boarded the spacecraft, appearing as an ordinary-looking young white man, not controlling that green-skinned puppet.

"It doesn’t matter if it’s smooth or not, everything is under control."

Wang Zhifan replied in a low voice as well, while glancing at the silver-haired middle-aged woman next to him trying to stay calm.

The reason he dared to board the spacecraft without hesitation, besides his confidence in his own abilities, was because he controlled the NPC beside him.

From previous experiences, he understood that this woman had a high status and valued her life a lot, most likely she wouldn’t do anything that would sacrifice herself to take them down, so as long as he controlled her well, she would naturally help resolve any unexpected situations.

Sure enough, nothing unexpected happened on the way to the Orbital Space Station.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the massive ring-shaped Space Station in space through the ship’s portholes.

After that, the spacecraft smoothly entered the docking port, and they disembarked into the giant ring-shaped Space Station where centrifugal force from spinning replaced gravity.

"Thank you, soldier, from here I will personally lead them to the report meeting."

Reaching the destination, the silver-haired middle-aged woman casually dismissed the soldier who piloted the ship for them, leading them away from the port, stepping onto the slightly floaty feeling metallic ground of the Space Station.

"Aaron, do you still remember the way around here?"

Since it was Wang Zhifan’s first time in such a place, he was unfamiliar with the surroundings, but accompanied by the NPC Qian Yaron, he asked him.

"I only know the outer layer route, the inner one I’ve never been into."

Qian Yaron immediately answered, sharply scanning the corridors they passed through, seemingly feeling a bit unfamiliar.

Shortly after, the leading silver-haired middle-aged woman guided the group into a narrow corridor only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, saying that the officers’ office was nearby.

But Wang Zhifan clearly sensed that her heartbeat became increasingly rapid, obviously something was amiss.

"Hold up! From now on, you walk beside me."

To prevent her from escaping by any means, Wang Zhifan now wouldn’t let her lead the way alone, instead having her walk alongside him, with the others following closely behind.

The silver-haired middle-aged woman dared not defy, showing no significant resistance on her face, unclear about her intentions.

After a while, they reached a corner of the corridor where the silver-haired middle-aged woman suddenly stopped, almost causing the others to bump into her.

"What are you doing? Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

The yellow-skinned female player from the team who once wanted to cooperate with Wang Zhifan immediately changed her expression, asking sternly.

She had been following closely behind the silver-haired middle-aged woman for close monitoring, now entering a state of high alert, prepared to act without mercy should the silver-haired middle-aged woman make any suspicious moves.

"Hehe... She was waiting for the laser weapons in the corridor to eliminate us. It’s a pity, I’ve already rendered them all ineffective."

Standing beside the silver-haired middle-aged woman, Wang Zhifan chuckled as he explained, causing someone next to him to shudder slightly, cold sweat forming on their forehead instantly.

"Laser weapons! Where?"

"FUCK, those really seem like concealed firing ports up there!"

"Not just there, here too!"

"This woman’s so deceitful! Boss, please let me teach her a lesson!"

...

In an instant, the players who realized they had just escaped a terrible crisis became unsettled, with quite a few wanting to beat the malicious guiding woman in front, but held back their impulses out of respect for Wang Zhifan’s authority.

"Everyone, calm down, she knows what to do."

Amidst the agitated crowd, Wang Zhifan didn’t make any violent moves, instead turning with an enigmatic smile to look at the silver-haired middle-aged woman beside him, exerting a massive invisible pressure on her trembling form.

Under the immense mental pressure, with her hopes of escape dashed, the silver-haired woman’s emotions finally crumbled, and she screeched to Wang Zhifan:

"What do you want to let me go! Don’t think I’m afraid to risk my life! Drive me too far, and I’ll trade my life for all of yours!"

This kind of statement indicated she no longer wished to continue her facade, on the verge of losing her will to survive, intending to perish together with Wang Zhifan and his group.
