he asked subconsciously.

"A rescue operation."

He Ao's figure was already in front of him.

It's four colors and five characters, totaling 6,000 words (I'm sure). I'm asking for votes, and I'll see if I can finish it completely by tomorrow.

Navigator Fourth Circular Compartment

The scorching plasma cannon pierced through the narrow doorway and also through the wriggling tentacles that had fallen from the ceiling.

"Yu Si?"

Sitting in the room, Yuan Guo looked up at the door that had been pierced by the plasma cannon and the woman standing behind it.

While she was still in shock, Shu Gui, who was standing next to Zhang Yusi, kicked open the door and pulled her out.

"What happened?"

Yuan Guo looked at the two of them, still shaken.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Zhang Yusi turn around and fire a shot, piercing through the monster that had been lurking in the corridor and looked like a giant leech.

"He Bu sent us to rescue you."

Zhang Yusi glanced at Yuan Guo; the two had interacted on the plane before. "Believe me, it's not an illusion."

Then she glanced back at Shu Gui and said, "Let's retreat and go back."

In the dark corridor, a series of rustling sounds gradually rose up.

Navigator Core Control Room

At this moment, Heo was extremely close to Davidra.

Almost as he approached David's body, a dazzling light also burst forth from the eyes of the giant robot behind David, which had been watching Heo.

The powerful laser beam almost grazed He Ao's body, with part of it hitting the gate that was not yet fully breached, and part of it illuminating the steel ramp at the gate entrance.

As the laser beam struck the gate, a massive energy tremor erupted from the depths of the hall. Simultaneously, some minor energy tremors also appeared at the gate entrance, interfering with the laser and weakening its power to some extent.

However, the gate, which already had a hole in it, was partially melted again.

Along with the gate, the stacked steel fragments below melted away, their molten steel intertwined, the intense heat carrying the wind and waves that brushed against He Ao's cheeks.

David raised his mechanical arm, and a giant mechanical snake, its body still coiled with molten steel, emerged from the steel ruins beneath his feet, propelling him backward and simultaneously coiling towards Heo.

He raised his mechanical sword, ignited flames, and cleaved the giant snake in two with a single strike. He then touched the ground with his toes and leaped upwards, chasing after David in the sky.

Just then, a giant mechanical hand reached out from the sky and slapped at Heo. At the same time, another giant hand reached out and grabbed David in mid-air.

With no foothold in mid-air, He Ao held his mechanical greatsword horizontally in front of his chest to block the blow, then rolled backward and landed in front of the huge gate still covered in molten flames.

He glanced back at the gate, where faint energy circuits still echoed.

This gate was once part of the hall's energy circuit, and it looks like a nested, reinforced sub-entity.

This gate should also have a strong ability to purify pollution.

At this moment, He Ao finally understood why David had gone to such lengths to lure Iver here.

Monsters made of pollution cannot breach the gates that have the ability to purify pollution.

Because they will be attacked before they even begin.

The pollution has been removed, so the only option is to lure a powerful C-level human to break down the door.

He looked down at the steel ramp beneath his feet.

After so many upheavals, the bottom of the shattered steel skeleton in this steel slope is still nowhere in sight.

Over these long years, countless monsters may have been driven here, trying to break through this gate.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked again at the mechanical giant, who was half flesh and half machine.

David was standing steadily on the mechanical giant's palm.

Although this guy had remained calm and didn't make any moves, he had already condensed a giant steel serpent under his feet when Heo approached, and had the mechanical giant prepared to run away as soon as the battle started.

He was well aware of the power disparity between himself and Heo.

However, at this moment, he and the mechanical giant were both dozens of meters away from the gate.

Although the gate was damaged, the main energy circuit behind it still retained its ability to purify pollution, and the mechanical giant covered in twisted flesh did not dare to approach the area in front of the gate easily.

Heo raised his hand and threw the bone sword at David, who was standing on the mechanical giant's hand.

"Those were the superhumans you saved? How did you manage that?"

David maneuvered the monster backward to dodge the bone sword, then looked up at the flaming ring-shaped chamber.

"There are no communication devices on this spaceship. You are in the core area, while they are in the annular compartments. And the only time you were truly separated from me was the distance before we arrived here."

"Even if you've already figured out my problem, how did you manage to contact those people?"

In such quiet conditions, a distance of several tens of meters does not affect communication between superhumans of rank D and above.

As they were talking, the mechanical giant picked up a huge steel wall from the side and hurled it at Heo.

"The answer to this question, perhaps you can ask the 'person' who guided you here,"

He Ao dodged past the steel wall, his gaze falling on the microcomputer in David's hand, which still maintained the research institute's style. "Right, A02?"

David's face stiffened.

The screen of the miniature computer in his hand flickered, and the image of a silver-haired girl in a bodysuit appeared in He Ao's field of vision.

"When the spacetime jump tester is activated, it distorts spacetime, causing the surrounding light to distort, which in turn causes the stars to flicker and shift. By continuously activating and deactivating the spacetime jump tester, information can be transmitted through the flickering of the stars in a simple Morse code."

A02's voice slowly rose.

"A very clever approach. These codes should be the standard code of the research institute. You added a group of symbols numbered 009 at the beginning. This group of symbols means that the first character of this code is not a pre-arranged character. This group of symbols is often used when there is no pre-arranged character.

"However, in practice, this symbol set is often used as a prompt to remind the person receiving the code to use a rarely used but pre-agreed alternative prefix that both parties know about."

"Judging from your expression when David mentioned standard codes, you don't actually use them often. Combined with your combat habits, and your relationship with your companions..."

The probability of having agreed on a code word beforehand is less than 1%.

"Therefore, your companion can only guess at this code by relying on your mutual understanding with you."

"However, the time you spend with your partner is actually very short. Depending on how well you know each other, the words you convey to your partner will not be complicated for ease of understanding."

"I tested all the initials related to your name and title, and finally found that using the initials 'river' and 'profound' could decipher the code into a comprehensible sentence."

"It means, 'Beware of outside monsters, do not leave the safe house, and wait for the ruins to end.'"

At this point, A02's voice also carried a hint of doubt.

Logically speaking, your companions cannot deduce the information "rescue Yuan Guo" from this code word unless you use more complex and unrelated initials to interpret the code word differently.

"However, complex and difficult-to-associate initials greatly increase the difficulty for your partner to guess the correct answer. How did you manage to do that?"

Upon hearing this question, He Ao raised his hand, retrieved the bone sword using telekinesis, and replied, "Maybe I was just lucky."

In the brightly lit elevator area, Shu Gui destroyed the switch on the other side and then closed the elevator area gate from this side.

Amidst the sounds of monsters ramming against the gate, the three who had been fleeing finally caught their breath.

"Commander He told us not to linger outside and to go back as soon as possible."

Zhang Yusi planted the enormous plasma cannon, which was almost as tall as her, on the ground, took a heavy breath, and then picked up the plasma cannon again.

"it is good,"

Shu Gui nodded, straightened up, and led Yuan Guo forward, quickly arriving at the gate on the other side.

As he opened the gate, he asked with some curiosity, "Yusi, how did you know that the first three characters of the code were 'mountains,' 'blood,' and 'turn back'?"

"what?"

Zhang Yusi, who was walking at the back and holding the plasma cannon as a cushion, was taken aback by the question.

She glanced back at Shu Gui, her voice slightly stammering, "This is..."

"This is the tag of Minister He's post that went viral."

Yuan Guo, who was standing to the side, took a breath and continued.

“Ah! Yes, yes, I just happened to see that post,” Zhang Yusi nodded quickly. “It just popped into my head and I remembered it. It just popped into my head.”

Yuan Guo glanced at the miniature computer screen that Zhang Yusi had accidentally turned on during the battle, but said nothing.

The screen is displaying the wallpaper that Zhang Yusi set for when the screen is off.

It was a photo of a young man covered in blood, looking back at the vast, collapsing mountains.

"It seems that you used some kind of information about you that I don't understand, but that your companions could associate with you even when they were not familiar with you, and used this information to construct the initials of the code."

"It seems that you already had doubts about me back then."

A02's face still wore a gentle, approachable smile. "Sir, please allow me to admire your wisdom. I believe that if my Lord knew of your deeds, He would also be amazed by you."

"Then please thank your 'Lord' for me in advance."

He Ao returned a gentle and calm smile.

A02 doesn't actually present many suspicious points, but the biggest suspicious point has been revealed from the very beginning.

Almost all visible smart devices on the ship have been destroyed, especially in areas where human resistance had occurred.

The destruction of one or two computers could be accidental, but the destruction of all the computers along the route must have some common reason.

Among these destroyed smart devices, the fact that A02, which claims to be the main AI of the Navigator and continues to operate stably, is itself a point of suspicion.
