Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Chapter 88: A sudden unexpected obstacle is not a good thing!

The spaceship, operating at full capacity, quickly reached the outer edge of the planet.

Uemura Sakata stood in front of the control panel, his eyes filled with determination.

The eight people behind them stood in three groups, each with their own thoughts, and none of them noticed that this long-time acquaintance had fallen into a trap.

The moment the meteorite ring came into view, Uemura Sakata slammed his hand on the control panel, forcing an exaggerated smile onto his face.

"Yoshi, yoshi, the Emperor is blessing me, hahaha... With such an opportunity, it seems I, Kamimura, am destined for fame!"

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the eight people behind him, finally settling on the three of them: "Ueno, Kato, Yang Wen, we'll be in groups of four from now on."

"yes!"

Ueno and Kato bowed in response, while Yang Wen's reply carried a hint of deliberate flattery. He lowered his head slightly and glanced at Euro and Atai out of the corner of his eye.

A flicker of evasion crossed his eyes, but he still straightened his back, trying his best to appear loyal.

Yang Wen knew in his heart that a rift had developed between him and Euro and Atai.

Having tasted success, he became unstoppable and now only wants to cling to Uemura Sakata's coattails.

Then continue to enjoy the sweetness...

Looking at Yang Wen's appearance, Uemura Sakata was secretly overjoyed.

She traded a useless woman for the loyalty of a strong and healthy man.

He also managed to break up the trio of Euro, Atai, and Yang Wen, preventing them from working together against him. This deal was definitely worth it.

More importantly, this move also made a statement to them.

As long as you follow him, Kamimura Sakata, you can have whatever you want—resources, women, anything.

His gaze swept over the remaining few people, and as he observed their expressions, his smile deepened.

"Hmph, I didn't expect Yang Wen to be such a complete opportunist!"

Euro's voice came through the communication channel. Recalling what he had just done, he felt nauseous.

"Exactly! We treated him like a brother, but he betrayed us the moment he tasted success!"

Atai immediately echoed, his tone full of disappointment.

He and Euro exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

"Atai, let's go to the outer ring meteorite belt in pairs. There are so many meteorites, it would be a waste not to make the most of this opportunity."

"Okay," Atai nodded.

The two secretly resolved to make a fortune from this meteorite mining operation and acquire some capital.

On the other side, the three women huddled together. Li Xue spoke first, addressing Hua Lingyu:

"Sister Hua, let's go somewhere far away in groups of three, so we don't get into a direct conflict with Uemura Sakata and the others."

Upon hearing this, Lisya hesitated for a moment before asking, "Shouldn't we invite Sisi too?"

When Sisi was mentioned, Li Xue's tone instantly turned disdainful:

"Why call her? Did you hear that? She was the one who yelled the loudest, jumping around like a madwoman. And what happened? Uemura Sakata threw her away like trash. She's an idiot. With her around, I feel like I'm losing my own worth."

"Hey, Xiaoxue, stop belittling Sisi like that."

Hua Lingyu sighed softly, full of helplessness, and looked up in the direction where Sisi was.

"Aren't we the same? On this starship, we're nothing more than tools for Uemura Sakata to vent his anger on. We're kept when we're useful, but when we're not, we're probably no different from Sisi."

Hua Lingyu's words silenced Li Xue and Lisiya. Yes, they seemed alright on the surface, but in reality, they were just like the pot calling the kettle black, barely clinging to life...

The three of them talked back and forth, and finally decided on the group assignments. They were all holding back their anger and wanted to break free from the control.

And so, the 10 people were divided into four groups: Uemura Sakata, Ueno, Kato, and Yang Wen were in one group.

Euro and Atai are paired up.

Hua Lingyu, Li Xue, and Lisiya formed a group of three.

Sisi was left behind, ignored and left to her own devices...

In outer space, behind a massive meteorite, Jiang Shi was lying on a rocky surface.

The concealment ring on his finger emitted a faint glow, completely hiding his figure and aura.

Holding the primal energy sniper rifle he had taken back from Guo Wanxing, he aimed the barrel at the approaching spaceship in the distance.

Bai Yubing's calm voice came through the communication channel, and everyone could hear it:

"Jiang Shi, Liu Siqin is already in place. She will be waiting for them on the only road they can take. If the negotiations break down, you will immediately finish them off, and the main star's magnetic ion cannon will also be fired immediately."

"Understood," Jiang Shi replied in a low voice.

The next second after Bai Yubing's voice disappeared, a separate channel suddenly opened, and it was Guo Wanxing's voice.

Only the two of them could hear him, and he said with some concern, "Jiang Shi, you... be careful."

"Don't worry, I will."

Jiang Shi smiled, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

Hearing Guo Wanxing's voice, he felt confident.

The reason he didn't let Guo Wanxing, the sharpshooter, come out was ultimately because he wouldn't allow her to take any risks.

Their relationship was unknown to everyone except Wang Xiaoxiao, who had some mind-reading abilities.

Therefore, in order to be more convincing, Jiang Shi revealed that he possessed a hidden ring.

Only then did everyone agree to let him serve as the sniper in the ambush, since the stealth ring would allow him to conceal his identity, making him the best candidate.

In the main starship's control room, Bai Yubing and his eight companions looked at the meteorite ring coordinates on the screen.

Guo Wanxing stood beside her, her eyes fixed on Jiang Shi's position on the screen, her heart pounding with anxiety, fearing that something might happen to him.

Liu Siqin had already arrived at her location, dressed in a mecha spacesuit.

Leaning against a meteorite, they quietly awaited the arrival of Uemura Sakata and the others.

She was the bait in this scheme, and also the first test. If the negotiations didn't go well, and if any ill intentions were discovered...

The signal will be sent immediately, and Jiang Shi's sniper rifle and the main star's magneto-ion cannon will fire instantly.

Soon, the spaceship carrying Uemura Sakata reached the edge, the hatch opened, and Uemura Sakata and the others, dressed in spacesuits, appeared.

They disembarked from the starship one after another, their thrusters propelling them toward the asteroid ring.

None of the nine people immediately began to retrieve the meteorite. Instead, they observed the surrounding environment first, since this was the first time they had encountered a meteorite ring of this size.

Just then, Euro let out a low shout and yelled into the public communication channel:

"Look, what's that up ahead?"

Although I really dislike Uemura and Sakata, we're all part of the same team, so I'll still remind them of any necessary emergencies.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw a person floating on the edge of the meteorite ring.

It just hung there, suspended in space, its gaze fixed on them, as if it had been waiting there for a long time.

The sudden situation made everyone tense instantly, and all nine people stopped in their tracks.

Zhang Sisi, who arrived late, followed Hua Lingyu and asked, "Sister Hua, what happened?"

Upon seeing Zhang Sisi, Li Xue immediately approached her and said sarcastically, "Aren't you blind? Can't you look ahead?"

"You..." Zhang Sisi bit her lip, looked ahead without reacting, and then showed the same expression as them.

He now has an extra shield in his hand, and is always ready to run away.

The communication channel was deathly silent. Everyone was on edge, wondering who this person who had suddenly appeared was and what their purpose was.

Uemura Sakata's heart skipped a beat; it wasn't a good thing that a Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he quickly sized them up. The other person was alone and didn't immediately launch an attack; they just stood there quietly.

This suggests that the other party may be willing to communicate, rather than being directly hostile.

To calm him down a bit, he quickly started making plans.

The other party dared to come alone, either because they were confident and fearless, or because they really wanted to talk about something. Either way, I'll probe their intentions first.

He raised his hand to signal everyone not to move, "There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move.' The other side probably wants to negotiate something."

"Here's what we'll do, Yang Wen, go over there, strike up a conversation with her, ask what she's up to. Remember, keep a calm attitude, don't make a move easily, first probe her background, see what she's trying to do."

Yang Wen inwardly groaned, never expecting that Uemura Sakata would make him the one to stick his neck out.

The other party dared to wait here alone, so they must be no pushover. However, having just joined forces with Murasakata, he dared not disobey his orders and could only grit his teeth and reply, "Understood, Captain."

Yang Wen took a deep breath, activated the thrusters, and floated towards Liu Siqin's direction.

I deliberately slowed down a bit, drifting along while sending out connection requests.

Liu Siqin looked at Yang Wen floating towards her, her gaze calm and without the slightest ripple...
