Since Grace's so-called pregnancy did not exist at all, in order to prevent Grace from being embarrassed by this non-existent matter, Yungo coughed and changed the subject: "Ahem! Um -, that's right. Let's wait for the doctor's examination before talking! Ah? By the way, didn't you just call the doctor? But why didn't the doctor follow us here?"
"Ah! Don't mention it! Because examining your bodies is a temporarily arranged task, and today the kitchen originally planned to launch a limited edition of a brand new delicacy, which made the two doctors very upset because they were worried about missing that limited delicacy. So, they deliberately dawdled and didn't leave the canteen." Xiao Zhao said.
Yungo showed a look of realization and muttered to himself, hoping that the two doctors would better not come to examine them. Because he always felt that Captain Tim's suggestion to have a physical examination at this time was somewhat far-fetched.
Grace remained silent after Xiao Zhao finished speaking, then casually nudged Yungo's arm to remind him to be vigilant, and asked in a very plain tone: "Ah? Isn't it wrong, Xiao Zhao? If I remember correctly, the penitentiary should be in another direction of the spaceship, that is, next to the infirmary, right? But why are we still going to the lower level of the spaceship?"
After Grace said this, Yungo also realized that Xiao Zhao and the other five people had already escorted him away from the location of the penitentiary. So he immediately frowned and raised his voice to question: "Ah? Yes! Xiao Zhao, where are you taking us? Didn't Captain Tim say that you should take us to the infirmary first, and then to the penitentiary?"
Xiao Zhao responded a bit embarrassedly: "Ah! You two must not misunderstand! The thing is. We just found out when we went to call the doctor, the maintenance personnel were supposed to repair the electrical system of the infirmary in the first place after the spaceship set off. However, because the food festival delayed the work of the maintenance personnel, it led to the examination equipment in the infirmary temporarily unable to be used. In addition, the penitentiary of the spaceship has not been used for a long time, leading to the line repair of the penitentiary also not completed."
"It is precisely because of this reason that we can only temporarily send the two of you to the prison at the bottom of the spaceship to repent there for the time being! Because, the prison is also equipped with examination equipment, and the power supply line of the prison happens to be connected with the line in the cargo hold, ensuring that the prison has become one of the few places in the lower part of the spaceship that can be used normally. So, we can only temporarily wronged the two of you and let the two of you stay in the prison for a while."
Seeing Yungo and Grace's faces becoming more and more ugly, Xiao Zhao hurriedly added: "But you two don't have to worry! Although you will be temporarily locked up in the prison, in fact, you will not be strictly restricted in freedom of movement like real prisoners. Moreover, Captain Tim only ordered you to repent, so you won't be in the prison for long before the captain releases you!"
Although Xiao Zhao tried his best to indicate that Yungo and Grace were not really locked up in prison, but because of special reasons, they temporarily used the prison for repentance. Yungo and Grace were very clear in their hearts that things would definitely not be as simple as Xiao Zhao said. Because this time, Grace also realized that Xiao Zhao's explanation was very far-fetched.
However, given that Xiao Zhao and the others may have been controlled by Virus X for a long time. So, even though Grace felt that Xiao Zhao's explanation was not satisfactory, she did not intend to continue to ask. After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light now, and the number of enemies far exceeds our own. In such a disadvantageous situation, preventing excessive questioning of the other party leading to the other party being forced to reveal their true nature is the most rational and correct choice.
After realizing this at the same time, Yungo and Grace nodded tacitly, reluctantly and understandingly accepted Xiao Zhao's statement. Then, the two grumbled and pushed all the responsibility onto the maintenance personnel, creating an illusion that they were actively excusing Xiao Zhao and the other five people. Seeing this, Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately joined the chorus of complaining about the maintenance personnel's inefficiency, and the tense atmosphere on the scene was once again eased.
However, Yungo still found during the pause of complaining about the maintenance personnel's work efficiency that the two armed crew members had already casually placed their hands on the handles of their sidearms. It seems that if Grace and Yungo continued to ask why they decided to lock them up in prison temporarily, these two guys might immediately tear their faces off, pull out their guns, and forcibly escort them to the prison.
Thinking of this, Yungo and Grace once again realized the seriousness of the situation. Looking at the five crew members who were still chatting and laughing with them, the two knew that what was hidden under their smiles was definitely not friendliness and leniency, but the vigilance and threat that had never been let down on the two. Could it be that Virus X knew that the two of them were not only not controlled by Virus X, but also discovered the secret of Virus X, so they were ready to take advantage of the opportunity to send them to the lower prison of the spaceship and take action against the two? Thinking of this, the hearts of the two people couldn't help but speed up a lot, and they quickly responded to the five crew members with a smile on the surface, thinking about how to deal with the crisis that would arise next.

Because Yungo and Grace were very clever and did not express any opinions on being sent to prison, the atmosphere on the way was still very harmonious. At least on the surface, everyone's relationship remained harmonious. The five crew members directly took Yungo and Grace to the infirmary outside the prison. Although the power system of the prison area was restored, it was only a part of it. As a result, the prison looked very gloomy and terrifying under the dim lighting.
"Ah! The prison is a place that will make people feel psychologically uncomfortable, and with such dim lighting, how can people stay! There's no way! Who let the two guys get into trouble at a bad time? You can only be wronged and stay here for a while!" Chef Xiao Zhao checked the situation in the infirmary while complaining.
Then, Xiao Zhao comforted: "Don't worry, we will report the situation in the prison to the captain when we go back later, and the captain will definitely order the maintenance personnel to repair all the lighting facilities here as soon as possible, or let the maintenance personnel repair the power supply system of the infirmary as soon as possible. In this way, you can return to the penitentiary for repentance. Of course, with the captain's affection for you, the captain might release you in advance before these facilities are repaired, and continue to punish you in other ways. So, you don't have to worry too much. Relax and repent here! We will still provide meals for you on time, and you will definitely not be hungry!"
Seeing Xiao Zhao finished speaking, Grace asked in confusion, "You mean we just need to stay in the infirmary? Aren't we supposed to be locked up in a cell?"
"You two are not criminals, why live in a cell? We completely because the upper infirmary is temporarily unavailable, in order to facilitate real-time physical examination of you, we temporarily decided to let you stay here. When the upper infirmary is available, we will take you up." Xiao Zhao replied.
"But why do we need real-time physical examination? We are not sick, are we?" Yungo asked.
Hearing Yungo ask this, Xiao Zhao's eyes suddenly changed, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and responded, "Hey! Of course we know that your body is normal. However, after all, you have had some indescribable relationships, so in order to ensure that your body will not have problems during the confinement, we of course need to understand your physical condition at any time."
Xiao Zhao's answer made sense, but to Yungo, it always felt a bit off. Because Xiao Zhao has been emphasizing that the doctor will continue to pay attention to the physical condition of the two people, but even if Grace really did something shy with himself and got pregnant as a result. Then the doctor should focus on Grace alone, right? But judging from Xiao Zhao's tone, they seem to be very concerned about the physical condition of both people.
In addition, Xiao Zhao has always said "we" instead of "doctor". This made Yungo feel even more that the ones paying attention to the physical condition of the two people were not just Captain Tim or the doctor, but them, represented by Xiao Zhao, the part of the crew controlled by Virus X. Thinking of this, Yungo couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Because he was more and more sure that Virus X must have found out that he was not controlled by them. So they wanted to control him and Grace in this way, and then figure out why the two were not infected by Virus X .
Seeing that Yungo didn't make a sound after asking questions, just stood there nervously, Xiao Zhao came over, patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he and Grace should sit on the chair, and then said, "Hey! The doctor is doing this to ensure that your body will not have problems during the confinement, and the doctor will only do some routine physical examinations for you, not to eat you, why are you so nervous? Relax! Besides, look at the condition of this infirmary? And the space here is much larger than our rest cabin. So I think, living here should be much more comfortable than living in a small rest cabin!"
Xiao Zhao then showed Yungo the two large beds that had just been tidied up by several crew members, and couldn't help but sigh with envy, "Ah! Although this is an infirmary, as long as it is tidied up, it is actually quite suitable for living. Humph! I can't remember when I last lived in such a spacious room!"
"Haha! Such a large room is too wasted for you this bachelor to live in! It's better for the couple to live here!" Another crew member couldn't help but tease.
Xiao Zhao shrugged, then smiled at Yungo and Grace and said, "Ah! Yes! This kind of room is more suitable for couples to live in. You know, you guys will be alone in the prison for most of the time. Except for the physical examination and meal delivery, no one will come here to disturb you. So, if you guys want to do something, you must work hard!"
Although Xiao Zhao's smile made Yungo and Grace feel uneasy, their unease was not caused by Xiao Zhao's indecent smile. In fact, both of them felt that Xiao Zhao's smile was full of expectations for them to successfully conceive. And it was this inexplicable expectation that made them feel extremely uncomfortable at this time.
"I said, stop teasing them! Look at how scared you've made them! If you keep teasing them like this, they might not be in the mood to do the right thing during this time!" Another crew member saw Yungo and Grace's faces becoming uglier and uglier, and hurriedly came forward to help.
"Hey! I'm not as indecent as you said, am I? I just want to comfort them and let them relax and repent here!" Xiao Zhao said innocently.
"Bah! With your bear-like appearance, you still want to comfort others? If you don't scare them out of their wits, it's a big deal for them!" Another crew member followed the complaint.
"Alright! Stop it! You guys are just biased against me! Forget it! Hurry up and clean up, after the doctor comes, we still have to go back to do the right thing!" Under the siege of everyone, Xiao Zhao gave up guiding Yungo and Grace and once again put on a small leader's appearance, commanding everyone to continue cleaning up.
It has to be said that Xiao Zhao and his team worked efficiently. With their efforts, the infirmary quickly became a room for both medical treatment and accommodation. As Xiao Zhao and his team cleaned up the infirmary, two doctors came in with lunch boxes for takeaway food.
As soon as Xiao Zhao saw the two doctors, he said unhappily, "Hey! We just cleaned up the room, and here you are? It seems that you guys are really good at timing!"
How could the two doctors not hear that Xiao Zhao was expressing dissatisfaction with their late arrival. So, the female doctor named Geroto responded smoothly, "Oh! I'm really sorry! We've kept you waiting for a long time! We actually didn't want to be late! It's just that we had already arranged today's plan, so when the captain suddenly notified us to come for the physical examination, it caught us off guard. We could only deal with the matters in hand and hurry over as soon as possible, please forgive us all."
