Chapter 283 Captive
The air was somewhat scorching, and the sun was shining directly down.

The temperature on this planet is much higher than that on Rinyu, I wonder if it's because it's closer to the solar system.

The sunlight beat down directly on my skin, and I could feel a burning sensation as it touched my skin.

The female beastmen who were originally some distance away from her moved closer to her, and suddenly felt the heat gathering around her even more.

Jiang Mian peered through the gaps in the crowd of heads, puzzled, at the orcs with guns. They were all wearing black bulletproof vests and helmets, with black butterfly wings on their backs, and yellow scarves tied around their right arms. He couldn't tell what they meant or what they were doing.

Although these orcs are all butterfly orcs, it is certain that they are not from the Zhao Ci faction.

But this emergency pod should be self-orienting to this location. Logically, the imperial edict wouldn't have directed the emergency pod to such a dangerous place.

Something suddenly flashed through Jiang Mian's mind: during the rapid descent of the emergency pod, it seemed to have experienced some friction or collision, and even a slight deviation could have caused the pod's landing point to change.

So now she's really in an unknown place, and inexplicably ended up with these female beastmen.

"Everyone, behave yourselves." A gruff male voice rang out. "Don't try anything funny."

The female beastmen all hunched over like quails, their necks and heads tucked in, too afraid to speak; they were clearly intimidated.

They had whip marks on their hands or bodies, which showed that the orcs didn't treat them as orcs at all.

"Who just came out of the emergency room?" the voice rang out again. "You'd better come out here!"

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, she did not make a move.

"Are you deaf? Why aren't you coming out?" The man's voice grew even more vicious and irritable. "Do I have to personally drag you out?"

Jiang Mian paused for a moment, and was about to walk out when, before she could move, someone pushed her hard from behind.

She was inevitably forced to stagger forward.

After Jiang Mian quickly stood still, she turned around and coldly swept her gaze over the people behind her, before her gaze quickly fell on one of the sheep-like girls. The girl was wearing a white dress, and there were whip marks on her exposed arms and calves. At this moment, she was slightly lowering her head and twisting her fingers together slightly.

She immediately recognized the sheep girl, but why would she suddenly push her when they had no grudge against each other?

Jiang Mian turned her head to look at the black butterfly beastman in front of her, who was also the irritable man.

The man stared at her in a daze, seemingly stunned by her beauty, before slowly speaking as if he had come to his senses: "You, you came out of the emergency pod."

"Yes, that's right." Jiang Mian had no choice but to agree.

The black butterfly orc's gaze was fixed on her face, unable to look away. He swallowed hard and said, "No matter where you came from, since you've fallen into our hands, you have to listen to us."

Jiang Mian actually suspected they were human traffickers, but she had no evidence.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Mian asked coldly.

"What do you mean? It means that you will be sent to the mine just like these prisoners of war." The Black Butterfly Orc sneered. "You don't have to go to the mine to mine if you don't want to. As long as you follow me, I won't send you to mine."

As the black butterfly beastman spoke, he reached out to touch Jiang Mian's exposed, fair, lotus-root-like arm, his gaze somewhat infatuated and lingering.

The next second, Jiang Mian quickly dodged, her eyes revealing disgust: "Get lost!"

The Black Butterfly Beastman wasn't angry at being humiliated; after all, a beautiful woman's angry face was exceptionally attractive. He swallowed hard, but still said, "Think it over carefully. Once we get to the mine and you're assigned a mine shaft, your delicate skin will be ruined, and you won't even have a chance to ask me for my favor."

Jiang Mian merely frowned slightly. Then the Black Butterfly Beastman instructed her to hand over the quantum computer and other such devices.

Faced with those dark gun barrels, and realizing he couldn't possibly defeat so many people on his own, Jiang Mian handed over his personal terminal.

Before long, Jiang Mian and the other female beastmen were forced onto the vehicle. A large group of female beastmen were crammed together, the air was scorching, and all sorts of smells mingled together, making it particularly uncomfortable.

From the conversation among the orcs with guns, Jiang Mian learned that they were all prisoners of war.

However, Jiang Mian did not know who the Lord Chaoge they were talking about was.

That Lord Chaoge must be their leader.

Jiang Mian's mind was filled with countless thoughts, her gaze constantly drifting across her surroundings as she pondered how to escape.

But these orcs were all carrying guns and were always patrolling, so there was no chance to leave. Besides, they were getting close to the mine they mentioned.

Does this mean we're really going to go mining?

After Jiang Mian was forced to leave with the Black Butterfly Beastmen's vehicle.

A blond young man appeared next to her original emergency pod.

Blood, like claws, trickled down the blond youth's forehead; his golden eyes were cold and indifferent; and one of his legs was bleeding from an injury.

He stood beside the emergency pod, looking at the empty pod, his gaze then falling on the tire tracks around him.

His golden eyes became terrifying.

He deliberately crashed his starship into theirs to separate her from her beast husband, then changed her trajectory so he could take her away and have her all to himself.

But no matter how much he planned, he hadn't anticipated that someone would be here, and that his people would be taken away beforehand.

The blond youth was none other than the lion-beastman from the research institute.

He had been secretly following her, waiting for an opportunity to take her away.

The blond youth, Chen, slowly followed the wheels of the cart.

On the other side, Zhao Ci also emerged from the emergency pod. He glanced at the surrounding orcs but did not see the person he was looking for.

"Where is he?" Zhao Ci smiled faintly.

A purple-gold butterfly-shaped orc stepped forward, looking somewhat flustered, as if afraid of Zhao Ci: "My lord, we have been guarding this place the whole time, and apart from your first aid pod, we haven't seen any other first aid pods."

Zhao Ci's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had quickly figured it out.

So it turns out they all came for his Mianmian.

Even if it deviates from its course, the emergency medical pod will not deviate too far.

"Search the surrounding area and see if there are any first aid pods?" Zhao Ci issued the order instantly.

“Yes, sir,” the purple-gold butterfly replied.

A moment later, the purple-gold butterfly beastman spoke again: "My lord, Mr. Zhaoge went to conquer a nearby planet again yesterday and brought back a large number of prisoners."
