Chapter 48 Contraband



The glaring pink color of these injections made Chen Ming feel a little uncomfortable looking at them.

However, Chen Ming still endured this inexplicable feeling and found the cargo list in the corner of the cold box.

These pink injections are a stimulant codenamed DP-2.

Although Chen Ming was not clear about the meaning of the code name, he was also not clear about the specific effects of this stimulant.

But Chen Ming knew one thing, that is, all stimulants were strictly prohibited in the commodity trade of the Human Empire.

Ordinary people are not like the military who need to fight high-intensity battles with the mechanical race and Yuhui on the border and need to rely on stimulants to maintain their concentration and combat capability.

These stimulants that enter the market basically have only one use.

It makes people feel the pleasure after using stimulants and become addicted to them.

Chen Ming already had a rough idea of ​​the source and destination of this batch of powder injections.

At the same time, he also understood the reason why this caravan, disguised as pirates or taking off their disguise as pirates, stayed here, which was to wait for someone to trade this batch of pink injections with them.

The pirate kept telling Chen Ming that there were good things in the Dark Cemetery, and it was obvious that he wanted Chen Ming to stay.

They wait for their trading partners to come and avenge them, or simply think of dragging others into the water.

Chen Ming didn’t care what the pirates were thinking. He just planned to clean up the wreckage and leave.

Even if these people might have connections with the military, Chen Ming was not afraid at all.

He had no intention of returning to the prosperous star field through formal means. His identity as an employee of an abandoned mining space station meant that he could not get along well with the military.

Besides, the others didn't know whether their ships were equipped with hyperspace navigation systems. Once they left the dark cemetery, where in this vast universe could they find the murderer who had disappeared?

After thinking about it, Chen Ming came to the conclusion that his current situation was no different from before.

I didn't waste any more energy on this and continued to confirm the contents of the other two cargo boxes.

The remaining two cargo boxes, one contains normal alcoholic beverages, and the other is also a low-temperature box like this with pink injections inside.

There were about a hundred of them in the two cryogenic boxes, and none of them were broken by the previous explosion.

Although the profits from powder needles are not on the same level as those from other things, Chen Ming has no good feelings towards this kind of thing and does not want to dirty his hands.

Besides, these are obviously powder injections smuggled out by the military, and the difficulty of selling them is different from that of cigarettes and alcohol.

Once action is taken, it is very likely to attract military personnel.

Chen Ming is now avoiding the military, so how could he take the initiative to do such a thing?

The combination of these two reasons led Chen Ming to open the lid of the cryogenic box directly in space, allowing the powder needle to be exposed to the absolute low temperature of space.

Then he returned to the boat with the last box of wine without any reluctance.

Chen Ming controlled the Iron Ore to turn the ship around, with the stern aimed at the two open cryogenic boxes floating in space.

The spacecraft gradually began to accelerate, and the tail flame that erupted burned the cryogenic box and the powder needles inside into ashes.

Finally, Chen Ming carefully swept the wreckage of the three ships again.

Confirm that everything of value has been moved back to the spacecraft.

Then it's time to leave.

It would not be a good thing if I continued to stay there and met someone who was doing business with these people.

I know nothing about them. If they have a combat capability far exceeding that of the Iron Ore, I'm afraid I'll have to die here.

Chen Ming locked the coordinates of the pirate space station on the spacecraft computer.

After adjusting the position of the ship, the Iron Ore entered the acceleration phase again.

This time, the Iron Ore will directly reach the destination of Chen Ming’s journey, the pirate space station belonging to the human world.

Just five days after the Iron Ore left the Dark Cemetery.

An unmarked destroyer jumped out of the hyperspace channel and entered the depths of the dark graveyard with great purpose.

It brought nothing when it came, but when it left, it took away the wreckage of the three spaceships that had just been destroyed by Chen Ming.

It is obviously impossible for Chen Ming to know about this, but even if he knew it, it wouldn't matter.

He deliberately swept around before leaving, looking for something valuable.

All electronic equipment in the wreckage of the three spacecraft that might have stored the Iron Ore's image and communication data were also found.

They were either destroyed on site or taken aboard and disassembled into their most basic materials.

All the armor-piercing electromagnetic bullets that he had fired with the electromagnetic javelin had completely penetrated the spacecraft and could not possibly remain in the wreckage of the spacecraft.

If this person can still find himself, Chen Ming will have nothing to say.

Another two and a half months passed.

The Iron Ore had bypassed the military outpost half a month ago.

After a long voyage, the Iron Ore is about to arrive at the galaxy where the pirate space station is located.

The Iron Ore has already begun to slow down, and it is expected that in five days it will be able to slow down to the standard intra-galactic navigation speed and reach the edge of the Pirate Space Station galaxy.

Although he already knew it in advance, Chen Ming still called up the galaxy map on the spacecraft control panel again, intending to deepen his impression of this galaxy.

I might need to stay on the pirate space station for a while, so there's no harm in getting familiar with the galaxy where the station is located.

The galaxy where the pirate space station is located is a single star system, and the star is a standard yellow dwarf star.

It has two planets, but neither is habitable.

A close-to-star, barren rocky planet with extreme temperatures similar to Venus and Mercury.

The other is an ice giant planet similar to Uranus and Neptune, far outside the habitable zone of the galaxy. It is blue in appearance and has no rings.

The Pirate Space Station is located in orbit around an ice giant planet.

It is convenient to collect energy materials from ice giant planets that can supply the space station with energy for a long time.

Apart from stars and planets, there is nothing else worth noting in this galaxy.

After all, if this galaxy was too good, it would not be the turn for a pirate space station to be set up here.

Chen Ming turned off the galaxy map and stretched.

I plan to relax after a long absence in the last few days before the spacecraft starts to slow down and arrives at its destination.

Do nothing, think nothing, empty yourself, and start the next journey in the best condition.

After all, what he would face in the next period of time was a human world that was even more terrifying than the natural environment of Ryuma.

It is also the lowest and most dangerous world in the human world, belonging to pirates.

Five days later.

The Iron Ore arrived at its destination system.

The shape of the Pirate Space Station has already appeared on the sensors.

Its overall shape is close to a pancake.

There are a total of thirty space arms extending from the central disk, and most of the buildings are located on these space arms.

On the outside of the space arm are a large number of large-area solar panels, which maximize the utilization of the external space of the space station.

As the spacecraft gradually approached, Chen Ming could see through the porthole in the captain's room that there was a space arm with a shipping guidance signal light on.

After discovering Chen Ming's ship approaching, it began to flash and guided him into the space station.

Following the guidance of the signal light, the Iron Ore slowly entered the dock of the space station (End of this chapter)
