Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

The pressure shifts to the remaining few.

Zhang Ruoyu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "...No fighting."

Dai Xinhui's face was filled with struggle. She looked at Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing who had chosen to fight, Bai Yubing, and the three who had not.

He opened his mouth, hesitant. Finally, he followed his heart: "Sister Bai, Jiang Shi, I understand what you're saying. But... I... I don't really want to fight..."

Just then, a child's voice, innocent yet exceptionally firm, rang out: "I want to fight!"

Wang Xiaoxiao stood up from the chair, holding her Lingyu Shuimu Yingya.

Her small face was tense, and her big eyes didn't show much calculation.

Seeing that Jiang Shi, Guo Wanxing, and Bai Yubing had all chosen to fight, she stood on their side without hesitation.

Yingya, nestled in her arms, sensed her little master's emotions and made a "blu, blu..." sound!

Wang Xiaoxiao looked down at the jellyfish, then looked up and added, "Yingya also said it chose to fight!"

She translated for her partner.

Liu Siqin silently observed everyone's reactions and choices.

When he heard Xiaoxiao's small voice, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and he looked at Xiaoxiao.

Then, turning to Bai Yubing and the others, he made his choice: "Since Xiaoxiao is so brave, then I'll join her in the fight too."

Her choice, while seemingly influenced by the child's courage, was largely based on rational analysis.

Given the uncertain risks of escaping into deep space, as a doctor, she prefers to address the issues in a relatively controllable, or at least partially controllable, environment.

At this point, the ratio of people on both sides, to those who would fight and those who would not, was 5 to 4.

Battle: Bai Yubing, Jiang Shi, Guo Wanxing, Wang Xiaoxiao, Liu Siqin

Non-combat: Shen Xi, Lin Qingxue, Zhang Ruoyu, Dai Xinhui

The situation is clear; it leans more towards war.

Soon, everyone's attention involuntarily turned to the last person who had not yet made a clear statement.

Guo Wanyu.

Guo Wanxing sensed her sister's wavering, grasped Guo Wanyu's trembling hands, and looked directly into her eyes:

"Xiaoyu, I won't force you. It's a matter of life and death, and you need to make your own choice."

Tell your sister your decision!

Looking at the determination in Guo Wanxing's eyes, Guo Wanyu bit her lip, struggled internally for a long time, and finally chose to fight.

"...Sigh, wherever my sister goes, I'll follow. Let's fight!"

Six people will fight in the final battle, and four will not fight.

Six to four.

Inside the command center, the atmosphere did not lighten after the statement was made; on the contrary, it became even more tense.

The four who chose to "escape" had different expressions and harbored resentment.

Not all of the six who chose "fight" were full of confidence.

Bai Yubing saw all of this!

She knew that the real test had only just begun...

It's not about how to deal with the outside pests, but how to unite this divided team.

If even the most basic strategic unity cannot be achieved, then what's the difference between them and a pile of loose sand?

The internal collapse preceded the external collapse; the real test lies in uniting these individuals into a cohesive force within a short period.

Bai Yubing felt a headache coming on. She took a breath and stood up again.

His gaze swept over the faces of Shen Xi, Lin Qingxue, Dai Xinhui, and Zhang Ruoyu.

"Xin Hui, Shen Xi, Ruo Yu, Qing Xue, I understand your concerns."

His tone suddenly sharpened!

"But I want to ask you, escape?"

"If we encounter something even more powerful than these void black worms along the way, will running away even be of any use?"

"If you don't strive to become stronger, can you run away forever?"

As she spoke, she leaned slightly forward, and an invisible pressure emanated from her.

Is temporary safety necessarily true safety?

"In life, what isn't something we deal with in a flurry of activity?"

"They never wait for us to be prepared and stronger before facing challenges, and besides, we don't have the resources to waste time, nor can we afford to!"

"Six men fight. Four don't fight. The minority obeys the majority. Fight!"

"Why...?" Lin Qingxue's voice had barely begun when she was interrupted before she could utter the word "yao".

"Any objections?"

Bai Yubing suddenly turned her gaze, and at that moment she only felt one word: coldness.

Looking into that gaze, Lin Qingxue instinctively looked away, not daring to react.

"Listen up, the battle lines must be united. I don't have time to argue with anyone. If you have any objections, give them to me, the captain, and keep them to yourself!"

Bai Yubing spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice not loud, but it touched everyone's heart.

"If we still can't achieve unification, don't blame me for using certain privileges reserved for this captain..."

The word "privilege" is thrown out without explanation; what does it mean?

Ironically, ambiguous answers are often the most intimidating.

Knowing there was no hope of escape, Dai Xinhui reiterated her stance: "Sister Bai, since you've said so, let's fight..."

"...Sigh, then I'll fight alongside Sister Bai!" Shen Xi turned her face away.

Seeing the two express their opinions, Zhang Ruoyu and Lin Qingxue finally nodded in agreement.

Although not entirely convinced, at least the battle lines were unified under Bai Yubing's strong statement.

Jiang Shi watched quietly, his opinion of Bai Yubing rising even higher.

They won't make mistakes at crucial moments; they are decisive and have a commanding presence.

Ugh... what privileges does the captain have? It's so hard to guess...

Never mind, never mind, things keep piling up, and now I've only just remembered I haven't claimed the upgrade rewards for the level 3 spaceship...

Jiang Shi put aside his distracting thoughts and looked at the prominent red dot on the email icon in the message bar of the control panel.

Upon opening the interface, a message pops up: Level 3 Spaceship Upgrade Gift Pack, not claimed.

Just as she was about to click to claim the reward, Bai Yubing turned her gaze to Jiang Shi and spoke again: "Now, let's discuss a strategy."

"Jiang Shi, you've had the most contact with the Void Black Insects. In your judgment, if we concentrate everyone's strength and formulate a strategy, is there a chance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi's lips twitched; he was stunned. Why did she have to ask now of all times?

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

"Ordinary Void Black Insects can be killed by the space station's own weapons. Star-level ones are more difficult to kill. Their weaknesses are their mouths and eyes, and their outer shells are too hard."

"In addition, the two first-class primeval magneto-ion cannons in the space station should be able to kill it."

"As for the last star-level unicorn void black worm, we'll have to resort to underhanded tactics and lay a plan. The first step is to get it separated from the swarm. Then, a few of us will fly level 3 fighter ships to surround and cover it, and coordinate with the main star's magneto-ion cannons to see if we can kill it."

"If we don't succeed, we can land on that planet and take a look. I'm still very curious whether there is life there."

"Great idea, Yubing!"

Liu Siqin narrowed her eyes, her previously furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and the solemnity on her face vanished.

"We were all so frightened by the terrifying power of that interstellar unicorn void worm that we completely forgot that 'Blue Planet' is the real treasure!"

"A forced landing on a Level 1 space station wouldn't guarantee our safety, but we're now a Level 2 spaceship!"

"With this ship, I think a safe landing won't be a problem at all. What do you all think...?"

"Well said!"

Bai Yubing smiled and immediately raised her hand, and applause rang out rhythmically.

"Jiang Shi and Siqin are both right. As the captain, I didn't think of that. I only thought about whether to fight or not."

"Why did we run away when there was a third way to survive right in front of us?"

"If we can't win, we'll crash-land on Planet 'Blue Ocean'."

Bai Yubing paused, looked at the four people, named them by name, and asked meaningfully:

"Xinhui, Shenxi, Ruoyu, Qingxue, what do you think?"
