"Pet's current location, Orbital Module Living Section 12, Passage A-34."
Silas's soft voice echoed through the entire corridor. This was the third time she had reported Woyu's real-time location. There was only one reason for her to do so.
"1082, f * ck you," Woyu cursed. "Shut the f * ck up, XR!"
Silas ignored him completely.
Normally, when Silas replied to someone, her voice did not have to be heard throughout the entire spaceship. This must be the man's doing. He wanted Woyu to hear him, to scare him, and to let him know that he was right behind him and that he was about to catch up to him.
His legs were swollen and painful, but it was nothing compared to the burning sensation in his chest. Woyu did not dare to stop to catch his breath. He knew that the man must be chasing after him with the levitating pod, and he only had two legs. He twisted his body and leaped into another corridor.
"Pet's current location, Orbital Module Living Section 12, Passage A-37."
Before Silas could finish her sentence, Woyu stopped abruptly and pressed on the wall beside him. A few irregularly shaped metal plates extended out from the walls and joined together behind him, sealing the corridor. After all, Silas was not a living person. She would not release the seal before the man gave her the order.
However, he had already used this trick three times.
Apparently, the man had encountered another door that he had locked. Just as Woyu was running for his life, Silas's soft voice filled the corridor, "Yes, open all the doors now."
"Motherf * cker 2901!" He cursed with his last breath. Otherwise, he was afraid that his chest would be burned by the fear and anger.
If he continued like this, he would be caught sooner or later!
The communicator that he had carelessly tied to his shoulder hit his back with every step he took. His ribs ached and his chest tightened. At this critical moment, Lin Sanjiu didn't even bother to call him. The communicator remained silent. There was no sound at all.
'What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
How does this stupid spaceship know where I am at all times?! Woyu was filled with anger. He deliberately spat on the ground. Could it be that the people who built this spaceship had installed cameras everywhere? XR, does this person have any concept of privacy?
At this thought he raised his eyes and looked around, but saw nothing but a long ribbon of white light overhead. However, this glance caused him to make a mistake in his panic. His footsteps thudded as he ran through a passageway. After a few seconds, he realized that he had missed the last door leading to the fork.
In front of him was the main road of Exodus. It was a long and spacious passage, and there was no doubt that he would be caught by the levitating pods.
"No, I can't go in there!" Woyu thought as he stopped in his tracks and turned around to look. Immediately, his hair stood on end. From the other end of the corridor, he saw a small silver-grey shadow floating in the air. It was heading towards him soundlessly. The speed of the levitating pod was so fast that he could see the hair color of the man in the pilot's seat in the blink of an eye.
"Keep running!" the man laughed at him from afar. "Pet!"
'If God let me live through this, I swear I'll never steal or cheat again. 'Woyu thought as tears welled up in his eyes. Even though his legs were trembling due to fear, he still turned around and dashed towards the cockpit.
"Are you going to risk your life?" the man laughed. His voice was as loud as his footsteps. "Come on!"
In the blink of an eye, a gun-like weapon appeared in his hand. 'For a man who owns a spaceship like this, it's unlikely that his weapon would be an ordinary gun. 'Tears rolled down Woyu's cheeks, and his heart tightened. When the muzzle of the gun lit up, Woyu suddenly crouched down and threw himself to the left, rolling into the passage that he had just come from.
He glanced back and saw a thin beam of light passing through the doorway and disappearing into the other end of the passage.
Before he could even catch his breath, Woyu leaped to his feet. While crying uncontrollably, he quickly pressed a button on the wall. If he remembered correctly, Silas had said 'open all the doors'. Perhaps the gods in the sky heard his prayer, for when the few metal plates began to close, the levitating pod slid to the end of the passage. Woyu's eyes met with another pair of eyes through the gap.
"Open it, Silas! Open it!" he heard the man yell angrily through the other door.
Even though Silas immediately answered, "Okay," the metal door did not stop. It was not until all the metal plates were closed that they opened again with a buzzing sound.
As soon as the metal plates were open enough, the levitating pod rushed in. The man looked up and cursed. The levitating pod drove straight to the other end of the passage.
As soon as the man flew away, Woyu, who had curled himself into a ball in the corner of the passage, heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if his body had come back to life. He crawled to the other end of the metal door, pressed a button on the wall, and retracted his hand. Then, he turned around and ran.
When Silas announced his location again, Woyu waited for half a second while gasping for air. Then, he dashed into another dining hall. It was more of a teahouse for afternoon tea and snacks than a dining hall. It was only a few dozen square meters in size. A few round tables and sofas were firmly fixed to the floor. There was no other door around it.
If there was anything good about the thrilling moment, it was that Woyu had figured out a question in a split second.
The spaceship could not have cameras everywhere. Even if there were cameras everywhere, Silas was just a computer system. If she did not analyze the images, she would not be able to find out where he was with just a glance. Other than seeing him with her own eyes, the spaceship might have found out his location through another method.
Woyu glanced at his own feet. They were red, sore, and there were a few scratches on them.
He gritted his teeth and climbed onto the round table. He looked up at the ceiling for a while. Probably because of the wires and equipment on his head, the ceiling was not made from a single piece of metal. He pounded on the ceiling several times and pried open a crack.
When he reached his hands into the ceiling and grabbed the edge tightly, Silas's voice rang out.
"Pet's current location is unknown."
Woyu let out a heavy sigh. Only then did he feel a cold itch on his face. He had no idea how long he had been crying. At the moment, all his weight was on his arms. His legs were curled up so that the tips of his toes wouldn't touch the table. The table was connected to the floor. If he put his weight on the table, it would be the same as putting his weight on the floor.
'So, it's the weight … A46. So, the only mode of transportation in the spaceship is the levitating pod? '
Just as Woyu exhaled slowly, he heard an angry roar coming from the corridor outside, "Tell me his last location. I will go down and look for him!"
The roar echoed clearly in the corridor. The man was probably less than a hundred meters away from him. As soon as he pushed the door open, he would see Woyu hanging from the ceiling.
1082. Why did Lin Sanjiu not contact him at this time? XR was really unreliable!
Not far away from the corridor, a door was kicked open. The door slammed against the wall, creating a heart-wrenching sound. Woyu resisted the urge to sob. He looked around the tea room with teary eyes. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the wine counter.
The man didn't ask Silas for his location. '2901. He didn't ask Silas to tell me his location either.' With that thought in mind, Woyu made up his mind. He sucked in a breath of cold air, but he still could not stop the waves of fear and did not dare to loosen his grip on the ceiling. He encouraged himself several times, and after half a minute he was still hanging from the ceiling.
Finally, another door was kicked open. It scared him so much that he fell off the ceiling. Judging from the sound, the door should be right next to his. Woyu fell to the ground. He was so nervous that his heart froze. He froze for half a second, but Silas did not make a sound.
As if he had been granted amnesty, Woyu scrambled to the bar and quickly tapped on the screen a few times. He had been eating and drinking in Exodus for the past two weeks, so he was very familiar with the settings of the wine counter. Soon, he pulled up the call window with Silas. He would use the call window to talk to Silas when he had a special request for food. Otherwise, as a pet, he would ignore most of the calls he got from the system.
"Please speak," a soft voice came from the sound hole next to the screen.
"M-more," Woyu's teeth, tongue, and vocal cords were all trembling. He quickly wiped his nose and said, "M-request to change the key."
"Registrant?"
"MO, ANDER."
"Please confirm the contents of the old key."
After talking about it for so long, it was finally put to use!
"1082-XR-2901," Woyu answered fluently. Just then, the man's heavy footsteps could be heard approaching the tea room. "-A46!" Woyu lowered his voice as his whole body trembled.
"Confirmed. Please report the contents of the new key."
Woyu reported a new string of numbers with a trembling voice. The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
"Do you want to change the voice recognition?"
"Yes, yes!"
When Silas said, "Welcome, Commander." Woyu felt a chill run down his spine like hot water. "Close the door of this tea room —" Woyu ordered.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
