Chapter 183 Rocket, Wife or No?
"What are you going to do!"
"No—!"
"Let me off the ship! I want to get off the ship right now!"
"I am Groot."
ZzzzzZ，，”
Amidst the wailing and howling of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Du Mu's spaceship plunged headlong into the swarm of undead ships!
In an instant, the entire spaceship was like being thrown into a washing machine, starting to spin wildly, sometimes tilting ninety degrees to the side, sometimes turning one hundred and eighty degrees upside down. The people in the cabin were thrown about, feeling nauseous and about to vomit.
With the help of his veteran driver's spirit and spider sense, Du Mu became one with the machine, always managing to maneuver the spaceship past the undead ships at the last second, while also avoiding the dense array of energy cannons.
Even if a few shots were unavoidable, they were blocked by the spaceship's built-in energy shield and caused no serious harm.
However, the further outward they flew, the more undead ships blocked their way, and it seemed that almost all routes were about to be sealed off.
Quill swallowed hard. "Wait, I think we can..."
"
Du Mu nodded: "You're right, we can charge through!"
Quill: "???"
Before he could react, Du Mu pressed a red button in front of him.
Buzz!
In an instant, two dazzling blue flames burst forth from the tail of the spaceship, the engine let out a nearly tearing roar, and the speed of the entire spaceship instantly soared to the limit, like a runaway lightning bolt, rushing headlong straight ahead without regard for anything else!
In that life-or-death moment, time seemed to stretch out infinitely for everyone.
What lay before them was no longer a dense array of undead ships and intertwined energy cannon fire, but their lost youth.
Various emotions flashed through their eyes, their expressions gradually changing: happiness, sorrow, sadness, confusion, fear...
In the end, all the emotions turned into relief.
"What a terrible life I've ever had!"
Everyone smiled calmly, their bodies radiating a Buddhist-like quality of having seen through life and death.
Du Mu ignored the sudden silence that had fallen behind him.
Under his control, the spaceship dodged left and right with an incredibly small amplitude and frequency, managing to find an almost non-existent path through what seemed to be an impenetrable encirclement!
Whoosh—!
The spaceship passed through the encirclement of numerous undead spaceships like a ghost, leaving them all behind, and sped towards the vast starry sky beyond the void!
As the spaceship's speed gradually stabilized, the souls that had been flung away seemed to finally return to their places, and the Buddhist nature within everyone gradually dissipated, replaced by a genuine sense of surviving a catastrophe.
"We...we succeeded? We escaped!?"
The Guardians of the Galaxy stared wide-eyed at the starry sky outside the porthole, hardly believing it.
"No, it's too early to celebrate."
Without turning his head, Du Mu's hands moved so fast on the control panel that they left afterimages: "Ronan's undead army is still hot on our heels. With this ship's power, it can't support long-term full-speed flight. We must use a space jump to shake them off."
"Preliminary estimates suggest that over five hundred consecutive space jumps will be required. Are you all ready?"
The Guardians of the Galaxy: "???"
"No, don't..."
'
Before they could stop it, the yellow spaceship rushed into the nearest wormhole and disappeared instantly.
On Bocht, a yellow spaceship landed steadily on the land.
The spaceship's rear hatch opened, and several figures staggered out of the cabin.
"Yue!"
The Guardians of the Galaxy, supporting their spaceship, bowed their heads and vomited violently; even Groot had green liquid coming out of his mouth.
God knows what they just went through!
To evade the pursuing undead legion, they made space jumps almost continuously.
It's important to know that spatial jumps are quite a burden on mammals; fifty jumps are enough to make anyone extremely uncomfortable.
And they went through it more than five hundred times!
Now, each of them felt like they had ridden a dozen or so teacups in an amusement park, then a dozen or so pirate ships and roller coasters, and finally been pulled into a bungee jump a dozen or so times. Their whole bodies were floating, their feet were weak, their calves were trembling wildly, and they couldn't even stand up straight.
Only Drax remained fast asleep in his cabin.
He actually woke up several times, but because the spaceship was too bumpy and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, he was like a bouncy ball bouncing around in the cabin, his head constantly hitting hard objects, and he kept jumping back and forth between being awake and unconscious.
Thankfully, Drax is tough and resilient; if it were Quill, he probably would have fallen into a deep sleep the moment he was hit.
At this moment, Du Mu slowly stepped off the spaceship, looked at the disheveled group, and gently shook his head: "This won't do. You still need to practice."
Quill and the others did not refute, nor did they have the strength to refute. They vomited until their faces turned blue, their stomachs were already empty, but they were still dry heaving.
They silently vowed that they would never give up the pilot's seat to Du Mu again. They would rather face Ronan and his undead army than sit in Du Mu's spaceship.
Mission: Escape from the clutches - Completed
[Rewards: 1500 XP, 20 Guardians of the Galaxy affinity, Rocket Jetpack equipment, Raccoon item]
[Equipment: Rocket Jetpack (allows for rapid movement and brief flight, reducing the risk of injury upon landing from heights)]
[Props: Raccoon (juvenile crispy noodles)]
It seems like Rocket Raccoon was split up and given away as a reward.
Du Mu was somewhat speechless. Neither of these items was of much use to him; the rocket jetpack was not as effective as his flying broom.
As for this live raccoon... he really couldn't think of any other use for it besides as a pet and as spare food.
Du Mu turned his gaze away and focused his attention on the surrounding environment, discovering that the place was teeming with life.
Looking around, there are lush forests everywhere, containing many strange creatures that I have never seen before.
On their heads, several small birds covered in fluffy down and with beaks like ducks tilted their heads, curiously observing the group of uninvited guests.
Looking at these furry little creatures, Du Mu couldn't help but smile: "They're so cute...they must taste delicious."
Little bird: ∑(Θ)
Half an hour later, a small bonfire had been lit on the open ground next to the spaceship. Everyone sat around it in a circle, not caring about their image, and ate the skewers in their hands with gusto.
These wild animals were all caught by Quill and his men on their own initiative.
When Quill heard Du Mu say he wanted to have some barbecue, his eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately volunteered, disregarding his physical discomfort, and quickly called on his companions to go and hunt some wild game.
This was the second time the others had seen Quill so excited. The last time was when they heard that they could exchange a Cosmic Orb for 40 billion Cosmic Coins. They couldn't help but wonder if Du Mu's barbecue was really that delicious.
Although they were full of doubts, they reluctantly believed Quill after he patted his chest and gave them a lot of assurances. In addition, they had just vomited and their stomachs were indeed very empty, so they woke up Drax and went to hunt some game together.
Drax was in a terrible mood when he woke up, yelling that he wanted to go back and fight Ronan one-on-one. But when he heard that it was time to eat, he decided to eat first and then fight Ronan, reasoning that he would only have the energy if he was full.
Now, after trying Du Mu's kebabs, most people only have one thought in mind.
So fragrant!
Why the majority of people?
Since Groot doesn't eat meat, he could only watch everyone else feast.
Not only that, he also had to skewer the meat and add firewood, since he was covered in branches, so why not use them?
Groot: "I am Groot."
No one knows what Groot said, and those who do know pretend they don't.
Rocket Raccoon, his mouth greasy from eating, mumbled, "So what do we do next? Ronan's undead army is definitely searching for us all over the universe. If we show our faces, there's a high chance they'll come after us again."
Drax gripped the skewer in his hand: "I'm going back to Ronan! I'll take revenge myself!"
Quill said helplessly, "Forget it. You wouldn't last a second against him. Going back would be suicide."
Drax retorted defiantly, "Who said I couldn't last even a second? I clearly lasted three seconds!"
Quill: "6"
'
Gamora wiped her mouth and seriously suggested, "I think we should hand over the Orb to the Nova Corps. That way, Ronan might not bother us, and it will also ensure that the Orb doesn't fall into the wrong hands."
"The Nova Corps is also after us. What's the difference between actively seeking them out and actively seeking out Ronan? It's all walking into a trap!"
This suggestion was immediately met with unanimous opposition from the entire Guardians of the Galaxy.
Don't they realize how many stars are above them now? They're taking the Sphere of the Universe to find the Nova Corps. Isn't this a double blessing for the enemy?
The group argued back and forth, but couldn't reach a conclusion. They decided to put the matter aside for now, since they were already heavily in debt and one more wouldn't make a difference.
At this moment, Du Mu asked Rocket Raccoon, "Rocket, can you build a spaceship?"
He hadn't forgotten the main purpose of this trip. Now that he couldn't return to the Void, his only hope rested on Rocket Raccoon.
It's worth noting that the game system rates Rocket Raccoon as one of the most intelligent creatures in the entire universe.
Rocket Raccoon scoffed, "Building a spaceship? Isn't that something even a child can do?"
Everyone: 6
'
Sorry, we're not even as good as children.
Upon hearing Rocket Raccoon's words, Du Mu's eyes lit up. It seemed he had found the right person.
"That's great, I need you to design a spaceship blueprint for me."
"Why should I bother with all this trouble?"
Rocket Raccoon resolutely refused.
He is a very conflicted raccoon. He will subconsciously refuse anyone who gets close to him or any request from others, but deep down he hopes that others need him.
Simply put, it's being arrogant and tsundere.
Du Mu chuckled and said, "Don't rush to refuse. As long as you agree to help me design a spaceship, I'll give you a wife."
Rocket Raccoon: "???"
Others: "???"
Immediately afterwards, Du Mu took out the baby raccoon he had just acquired from his game inventory.
Any reward issued by the game system, regardless of its size or whether it is a live item, can be placed in the game's inventory.
"What...what is this?"
Rocket Raccoon stared wide-eyed at the little guy in front of him who looked almost exactly like him, and froze completely.
Since he became conscious, he had never seen his own kind, nor did he know anything about his race.
He always thought he was a particularly short alien. After all, all sorts of strange aliens exist in the universe, even talking trees and stone people. Someone like him, small in stature and covered in hair...
Aliens with claws and tails aren't too strange.
Du Mu explained, "This is a female raccoon. Although she is still young, she is perfect to be your child bride."
"This is a raccoon? I... am I really a raccoon?"
Rocket Raccoon looked completely bewildered.
Quill, an Earthling, had used the word "raccoon" in front of him more than once. He always thought it was some kind of euphemism for an insult, and each time he would get so angry that he would jump up and down, insisting that he was not a raccoon.
I never would have guessed that raccoons are a species.
Du Mu nodded and said, "Yes, you are very famous in our area, especially the children who adore you."
He did really like eating the instant noodles endorsed by Raccoon when he was a child.
Quill chimed in, "Raccoons are creatures unique to Earth, so you could say Du Mu and I are from the same hometown."
Rocket Raccoon was speechless for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized who he was.
But he quickly realized what he meant and glared angrily at Quill: "Fuck Quill! Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner? I thought raccoon was some kind of insult!"
Quill was also aggrieved: "I thought you considered yourself human and couldn't accept the fact that you're a raccoon. Every time I called you raccoon, you would get all worked up. Who knew you really didn't understand?"
Drax crossed his arms and shook his head seriously: "Why can't you guys be as honest as me?"
Du Mu said speechlessly, "You're just missing a screw in your head."
"Impossible, I have no idea."
Du Mu:
Damn it, I actually took this idiot seriously. Could it be that I've been infected by the silly nature of these people?
Du Mu quickly shook his head and got back to the point: "So, Rockets, do you agree?"
"No.....
'
Rocket Raccoon instinctively wanted to refuse.
But when he saw the baby raccoon looking at him with its big, wet eyes, the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue caught in his throat.
"Okay, let's make it clear first, I won't be doing overly complicated designs."
Du Mu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't let you handle anything complicated."
Then he stated his specific requirements.
Du Mu's requirements were indeed not difficult; he only needed the spaceship to have basic functions, decent performance, and the ability to perform space jumps.
Most importantly, the spaceship must be easy to manufacture, and the materials should be as common as possible.
Du Mu was worried that if the design was too complicated, it would be impossible to manufacture with the current level of technology on Earth, or that the Earth would not be able to find the corresponding materials to make it. So he thought it would be better to start with the basic model and proceed step by step.
