A Guide to Raising your Natural Enemy

chapter 69

69. It’s Time to Escape

The mech fighters under Chris’ command had just picked up the lifepod ejected from Jonathan's spaceship, and the lifepod on their hands suddenly exploded.  
  
Although the power of the explosion was not big, but it was not small either. Almost all of the mechs close to it suffered, but fortunately, the mech fighters inside the cabin were not in life-threatening danger.
  
Seeing this scene, Chris, who had not slept for two days, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
  
"Your Imperial Majesty!" The people around Chris cried out in horror.
  
"Collect and check the debris that turned up after the lifepod exploded!" Chris ordered. If there were people inside the lifepod, the fragments left from the explosion would definitely be splattered with genetic material . . . . Of course, he hoped there was nothing inside.
  
But even if there was nothing inside . . . .
  
Turning towards the wormhole that was already closed because Jonathan had let off that bomb at the last minute, Chris’ expression was inscrutable.
  
He wished he could rush over right away, but in the current situation, even if he rushed over, he doubted he could find Jonathan. He would more likely get lost in the wormhole or even torn to pieces by the space blade inside the wormhole.
  
He could not catch up with Jonathan, so he could only search for people on the outside!
  
"Go offer a reward for finding the empress!" Chris wiped off the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and had his men post huge rewards on the star network, looking for Ian and the other two as well as the wanted Jonathan and his cronies. With Edgar keeping pace with them, Ian and the others would definitely be all right . . . .
  
When Jonathan made the two spaceships dock and let the people on his spaceship transfer to the other ship, Edgar at once realized that things were not good. He promptly made Shu Shu find the egg and Jones.
  
In the past two days, Edgar and Shu Shu had not always watched Jonathan attentively. They, separately, had already checked this small private spaceship thoroughly, including the cabins where the egg and Jones were located. And now, the guards had just left, so Shu Shu rushed madly toward the cabin.
  
Edgar told him to bring the egg and Jones to the lifepod.
  
For safety purpose, this private spaceship was equipped with four big and small lifepods. The one that Jonathan had released before was the biggest one. Edgar made Shu Shu bring the egg and Jones to the smallest one, though.
  
The members of the imperial family knew that the smallest lifepod was the strongest one, and although it was quite small, it could still shelter three or four people.
  
Aboard the private spaceship, Shu Shu was rushing madly. After arriving at the outside of the locked cabin where his own egg was located, he immediately squeezed into the small hole that Edgar had dug up and appeared inside the cabin.
  
Two robots stood in the spacious and empty cabin, and an egg was placed on the bed.
  
If he was not careful when taking the egg, he might alarm these two robots . . . . He needed to get it done quickly, and he also needed to avoid these two robots . . . .
  
The tiny, fingernail-sized hamster whose whole body was covered with spiritual power could completely avoid detection. Shu Shu climbed onto the bed and abruptly turned into a human form.
  
A big, living person suddenly appeared in the room. If there were human beings here, they would definitely turn pale with fright and raise the alarm. But now, apart from the egg, there were only robots in the room.
  
Shu Shu's body was covered with spiritual power, so the robots failed to detect his existence. They turned a blind eye to him and just stood there quietly.
  
Shu Shu did not hesitate to pick up his own egg and stuff it into his mouth . . . or into his own subspace, to be exact.
  
A hamster's mouth could open quite wide just like a snake's mouth. The egg that Shu Shu gave birth to was not particularly big. In the blink of an eye, the egg was already stuffed into Shu Shu’s mouth. Shu Shu instantly became smaller and ran away from the scene.
  
The two robots in the room were unable to detect Shu Shu. In fact, they were also unable to detect the egg, so that when Shu Shu took the egg away, they actually didn't have any awareness about it at all.
  
Right now, Shu Shu already started toward the cabin where Jones was located.
  
After Shu Shu arrived at the cabin where Jones was, he found that Jones had actually recovered his mobility and was working on the two robots that guarded him!
  
But Jones was just a sub-beastman; how could he be a match for the two robots? Not only did he fail to defeat the two robots, but he was also suppressed by them.
  
At this time, the entire spaceship shook violently.
  
This was the sign of the spaceship entering the wormhole. Shu Shu did not know this, but the rocking sensation under his feet still made him uneasy. He turned into a human form without the slightest hesitation and then kicked the two robots one by one.
  
"Shu Shu?" Jones stared at the naked Shu Shu in shock and somewhat couldn't come to his senses—how could Shu Shu suddenly appear?
  
Shu Shu simply didn’t have time to answer Jones. He carried Jones on his shoulder and continued to rush madly toward the location of the lifepod.
  
The spaceship shook even more violently while he was doing this.
  
The spaceship had entered the wormhole. In addition, Jonathan had also fired a bomb at the entrance of the wormhole to blow it up!
  
This spaceship was originally very close to the entrance, so it was naturally affected greatly . . . . If it weren’t for Shu Shu having spiritual power, he would absolutely have no way to stand firm.
  
In the end, Shu Shu practically dove into the lifepod while carrying Jones. After going in, the two men fell into a heap.
  
"Shu Shu, how did you escape?" Jones had been unconscious from the beginning. He didn't know that Shu Shu was not caught by Jonathan and only thought that Shu Shu had been captured along with him. "What about Ian? Do you know where he is?"
  
"Edgar went to save him." Shu Shu answered. His voice just fell, and the spaceship shook violently, making his whole person lurch and slam into Jones’ body.
  
"Let’s secure ourselves!" Jones, who hurt all over from getting slammed into, quickly expressed.
  
Shu Shu nodded and grabbed a crate in the lifepod to crawl into. He also stuffed Jones, who was powerless to steady his figure, into one of the crates.
  
They were finally secured after going into the crates. Although they were still being shaken incessantly, which made them can't help but feel like vomiting, but at least they would not be tossed around and fall down . . . .
  
The spaceship was constantly shaking, and naturally, so was the main control room.
  
After entering the wormhole and firing the bomb, the main control room began to shake, and there were so many noises mixed together as well, which made Jonathan basically unable to continue monitoring all the cabins as before.
  
By now, he was not interested in monitoring those cabins anymore.
  
Jonathan had already fastened himself to the chair in the main control room. Although the shaking made him feel sick, but it didn't make him keep away from the console . . . . Revealing a little sneer while watching the screen in front of him, Jonathan reached out and pressed on the console a few times, starting a procedure that he had set up earlier.
  
The spaceship’s self-destruct procedure.
  
He did not want to die, but which road could he still travel besides dying?
  
He never liked the Duke of Mund. Although the Duke of Mund was very good to him, but that kind of goodness only made him feel repressed. He didn't even want to stay in one room with the Duke of Mund, and he wished he would never have to see this man again.
