The starry sky is dark, with occasional shooting stars streaking across.
A fleet of ships that looked a little old on the surface was sailing slowly, its engines were overheated, and it continued to release energy fluctuations outward.
Inside the main ship, Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot with anger.
"That bastard was really cruel. He actually destroyed the entire train."
The others present were also very angry, but there was no other way, they were too weak at the moment.
"Brother, this way they can pin the blame for destroying the train on us. What should we do?"
Li Yao said bitterly, "What else can we do? Turn back. The military is definitely still chasing us and will never expect us to turn back. If we can find some living people in the ruins, maybe we can leave some hope for the future."
There was silence at the scene.
Half a minute later, the fleet entered the warp state and returned to the train position in about ten minutes.
Looking up, the sky was dotted with debris and the charred bodies frozen into blocks made the area look like hell on earth.
"Alas, it's our fault after all. Hurry up, we have to leave in half an hour."
The warships separated and released a large number of spaceships or shuttles to search for living people.
In fact, they don't have any hope, but they still want to try.
Living people represent evidence.
Li Yao flew out alone, moving around like a beam of light. The more he looked, the colder his heart became.
"The strongest of these passengers were Star Crossers, and the military used super-toxic bombs, clearly intending to leave no one alive."
Time passed minute by minute, and he returned to the main ship and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, a surprise came from outside.
"Brother, there are dozens of living people."
"Bring everyone here."
…
The pirates released the man, and the military silenced him.
This kind of plot made Chen An a little confused.
When countless beams of light shot towards the train, he created a super-energy barrier to protect himself and some people around him.
He could actually protect more, but there was no need as he was worried about being discovered by the army.
Fortunately, the army was in a hurry to hunt down the pirates and did not conduct a thorough inspection.
After working for a long time, Chen An found some damaged spaceships from the destroyed train and prepared to piece together one.
But before it was completed, the pirates came back.
The Star Devourer was too powerful, so Chen An could only hide.
But according to his subsequent observations, these pirates did not seem to be as vicious as he had imagined. In order to find living people, they were even willing to risk their lives and enter the vicinity of the train furnace that could explode at any time.
Chen An wanted to try to make contact.
Judging from his current situation, it would be difficult for him to reach the capital if he took the right path.
Since the right path is not possible, then take another path.
For example, becoming a space pirate.
…
"Brother, are you a star melter?" The star pirate who led the way was very enthusiastic. He was a young man.
But one cannot tell age from facial features, so it is estimated that he is several thousand years old.
Chen An replied: "I am indeed a Star Fusion, otherwise I wouldn't be alive. May I ask what your purpose is?"
The man couldn't keep it to himself and immediately expressed all his grievances.
It turned out that he was once a native of Changfeng Star, with a harmonious family, a successful career, and everything was perfect.
However, one day when he returned home, he found that his wife and children were missing. After calling the police, he was arrested and detained for more than half a year before being released.
Later it was learned that his wife and children were captured by a biological company for experiments because of their special genes.
"I hate it, but there's no way to fight it because that company is in cahoots with the Governor's Office. So, with nowhere else to go, I can only turn to Brother Li. He's a good man and never robs ordinary people. He only robs caravans occasionally. Those caravans are collaborating with the biological company, damn it!"
He paused, a smile breaking across his face.
"We are short of men. Do you want to join us, brother? You have witnessed the atrocities committed by the military firsthand. They will never let you live."
On the way to the main ship, Chen An deeply felt that this group of pirates was short of manpower.
Their boss is a Star Devourer, but most of his subordinates are Star Crossers, and there are even very few Star Fusioners.
"I'm curious. Since your boss is a Galactus, he should be very powerful. Why is he in such a mess?"
The young man sighed, "Star Devourers destroy the heavens and the earth, roaming the starry sea. But this is the strictly governed Divine Witch Star Nation. Your Majesty's divine consciousness reaches all star regions, and if a Star Devourer causes trouble, she will intervene to suppress it."
Chen An: "Your Majesty will not go along with them, right?"
"Your Majesty is holy, pure, and upright, and hates this kind of thing the most. But she will be deceived. We have done so much just to let Your Majesty know what those people have done. But unfortunately, they have controlled all channels to the Divine Capital and blocked all information networks. We are like animals in a cage, unable to escape."
Chen An asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xue Yan, you can call me Xiao Xue."
Soon they arrived at the main ship, and Chen An saw the opponent's boss, the Star Devourer who had been putting pressure on him.
He is tall and has an angular face, giving people a strong sense of power.
Chen An could even see the cells in his body jumping like stars, which was a state of extremely abundant super energy.
Galactus feeds on stars, and that's not just talk.
"Your name is Chen An?"
Chen An hopes Qingxia knows his name so there is no need to hide it.
"Yes, my name is Chen An, hello!"
Li Yao asked again: "What's the level of Fusion Star?"
"Eight layers."
"It's higher than I sensed. I thought you were only at the seventh level. Xiao Xue should tell you your current situation. Should you follow us or leave? If you leave, I'm afraid you will be hunted down forever. Zhu Lihe won't leave any hidden dangers."
Chen An asked: "What can I gain if I stay?"
Li Yao was silent for a long time before answering, "We can't give you anything, because we have nothing but these rags. Well, go! Xiao Xue, transfer some star coins to him. Find a remote star system to hide in, and maybe he'll be fine once the storm passes."
Chen An extended his hand to him and smiled: "I'm willing to stay."
…
The poverty of the pirates was beyond Chen An's imagination.
In order to obtain energy, they even collect energy crystals that contain a large amount of impurities.
Xue Yan said: "The energy crystal mines are strictly controlled by the Xing Kingdom and cannot be mined privately. We robbed some caravans at the beginning, but they still couldn't sustain our daily consumption."
Chen An’s space-time station is full of energy crystals, which would be enough for the pirates to use for hundreds of years if they were taken out.
But it was just a thought. Chen An would never reveal his cards.
In the following days, he wandered around with the pirate fleet just to avoid being hunted down.
Occasionally they would ambush caravans, but usually only rob them of their money, and only a small amount.
Four days later, Chen An learned that the train incident had attracted huge attention. The domain lord was furious and was preparing to launch a large-scale sweep against space pirates in the star field.
The so-called domain lord refers to the chief commander of the star domain, which is an official position unique to the star country.
Influenced by this, Li Yao led his team to retreat to the desolate galaxy, where his hidden base was.
