Chapter 274 Star Pirates

"Bang, bang, bang." Three gunshots were heard, followed by a scream.

"Cover her mouth and tell her to stop making noise." A fierce voice sounded in the cabin.

"Don't move, the captain is dead, and we have taken control of the starship's cockpit. There are 346 passengers and 29 crew members on board. Three have just died, and there are 26 left. Everyone listen up, your positions have been locked, and you are not allowed to move at will. If anyone dares to disobey our orders if we find them." The man paused, and then with a "bang", a passenger in the middle of the cabin fell to the ground.

"This is the end." In the holographic image, the pirate leader stared at everyone fiercely and threatened.

Ning Xuan turned her head and looked at Yu Mingche. Yu Mingche looked confused. This was his first time taking public transportation and he didn't expect to encounter space pirates.

Was this premeditated or was it just a coincidence? Was this directed at him or Ning Xuan?

"What do you want to do by hijacking a starship?" This interstellar route is a long-distance route and does not intersect with other routes. If these pirates do not want to get lost in the vast star field, there is no way for them to change the route.

"That's a good question. What do you think we want to do? Hahahaha, you'll know in a minute." The pirate leader said with a loud laugh.

"Now, I will pick a few noble women for you brothers to enjoy..." Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a loud "clang" was heard.

"Wow", all the lights in the starship went out instantly. Through the curved viewing window of the cabin, one could see the unique light blue light film of the outer protective shield flashing violently, and the entire starship shook violently.

"Ah..." Screams rang out one after another in the cabin.

"Dear passengers, there are not many pirates. While the starship's control system is experiencing an energy failure, let's work together to capture the pirates." A male voice sounded.

"I have marked the location of the pirates for everyone. Passengers who are close to the pirates can take action now."

"Anyone who kills star pirates will receive a reward from the federal government." These voices were not made by the same person, nor did they use the loudspeakers on the starship's control system, but they were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"How could this happen? I have clearly taken control of the energy control system, how could there be a malfunction?" the pirate leader shouted in desperation.

"Brothers, quickly find out those who are causing trouble." the pirate leader called out.

In order to seize the energy control system, he made a detailed plan in advance, boarded the starship to scout the area in advance, and carefully studied every corner of the starship.

When sailing in the vast star field, the energy control system of the starship is the lifeblood of the entire starship. As long as the energy control system is controlled, the movements of the entire starship can be controlled in the hands.

He had made so many plans, so there shouldn't have been any mistakes like this.

"Woo woo woo..." In the darkness, no one knew what happened to the pirate leader, and he was unable to speak.

Just at this moment, thousands of streams of light flashed outside the window, illuminating the scene in the cabin clearly. With the help of the stream of light, everyone saw that the ferocious-looking pirate leader was strangled by the neck of black and red vines and was hanging in the air.

The pirate leader, who had been so arrogant just now, now opened his terrified eyes and stared at the people in the cabin.

"Ah..." Someone screamed again.

"Why are you yelling? The dead are space pirates. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Stop, I have a hostage. I am a technician who can control the starship's energy system. I was forced to board this starship. Don't kill me." A pirate marked by a red dot held a passenger hostage. He hid behind the passenger and shouted in panic.

"I was also forced. I surrender." Another pirate marked with a red dot knelt on the ground with his hands on his head.

With a "clang", the cabin of the starship suddenly tilted to one side, followed by a loud "bang". The starship seemed to have hit something and almost turned upside down. A shrill alarm sounded, "Alert! The starship's external shield is damaged and energy is rapidly declining. Please hurry to repair the shield!" A cold mechanical sound suddenly sounded inside the starship.

The cabin where Ning Xuan, Yu Mingche and others were located was the VIP area, not far from the command cabin in the front. Ning Xuan listened to the alarm and watched the high-heeled glasses on the table roll down and break. Her fingers suddenly clenched. In this star field, if a starship malfunctioned, the situation would be bad.

Tang Xue's face turned even paler, and she hugged Min Wu tightly and refused to let go.

"Please don't panic, the energy control system will be restored soon." A man with half of his face wearing a silver mask floated up. He made a gesture and his men carried the controlled pirates to the spacious restaurant at the front of the starship.

Ning Xuan recognized the masked man at a glance; it was Feng Linran.

Just as Feng Linran came forward to stabilize the situation, Yan Fuzhen also came to Ning Xuan.

These two butlers boarded the starship in secret, and both of them were not very confident about their master.

"Don't touch me, Lord Irene. Tell your subordinates to stop, or I will kill you now." The pirate pretending to be a starship service staff tore open his dress, revealing the protective suit underneath.

The mental fluctuations that erupted from this pirate were so powerful that they suppressed the people around him and made them unable to move.

"Stop, let them go, let them go, I have star gold, don't kill me." The mining tycoon from the A-level mineral resources galaxy had his hands and feet tied up by light ropes, and shouted in fear.

When he saw the hanged pirate just now, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He remembered the pirate's face. He had seen that man at least three times in the past six months.

So he had suspected from the beginning that this group of people were coming for him, and now, this guess has been confirmed.

"I told you to stop. Did you hear me?" The space pirate who held Lady Yilin hostage started to panic when he saw Feng Linran commanding his men to control the situation.

Soon, the energy control system restarted, the lights in the cabin came on again, and the starship's external shield was repaired.

"The wanted criminal No. 041 on TX Star has been active in the B-class star field for many years. Why did he come to the S-class star field this time?" Feng Linran released his mental pressure and asked without any expression.

The powerful pressure from the SSS level instantly pinned the pirate there, and then he was tied up with a light rope and sent to the restaurant in front like the other pirates.

"Who are you? You are not Feng Yilin's man, right? This is all a misunderstanding. We are here to seek revenge on Feng Yilin. We have no ill will towards other people, especially you. Why don't you let us go? We can give you all the wealth we have accumulated over the years."
