Chapter 112
The port of planet HHX29 was thrown into chaos by the sudden order from Master Xia.
The workers in dark blue overalls hurried along, not wiping the oil off their faces, and ran around the spaceship, fearing that they would miss any detail.
The supervisor loudly issued an order: "Check the engine again, Buck, take two people to move the backup energy in... Amy, go and try the protective shield..."
People were so busy that even the air-conditioned cabin was covered in sweat.
Someone couldn't help but complain: "You were told to leave tomorrow, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"How can we commoners guess what the young nobleman is thinking?" The man put his arm around his friend's shoulder, "At least they pay a lot of money. If we complete this job safely, it will be enough for us to live on for half a year."
"Fuck! Don't set a flag."
"What are you afraid of? Who in the Empire dares to hijack Gardner's spaceship?"
The friend joked, "For example, the famous Flame Star Pirates."
The man shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "The Flame Star Pirates were indeed terrifying in the past. They acted recklessly and dared to hijack anyone's spaceship. But they haven't come out for several years. They were probably destroyed long ago."
"That's right."
The friend nodded, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Although the employer's order came in a hurry, this group of people is worthy of being the best team. They completed the inspection task on time within 45 minutes. The captain and the co-pilot were ready in the cockpit. Xia Yan and his party just got on the spaceship and took off to return to the imperial capital.
Passing through the white clouds, the atmosphere... the planet X29 gradually became smaller in front of their eyes.
Finally, they flew out of the control range of the planet and came to the distant universe. The dark curtain was dotted with stars one after another, and occasionally there would be meteorites falling, forming a small meteor shower.
Xia Yan sank into the soft sofa chair, with a bit of anxiety in his brows.
He had already left... Why did he still feel uneasy?
He had overlooked something.
"Young Master." The bodyguard brought a glass of low-alcohol wine. "I saw that you were a little uneasy, so I took the initiative to bring it to you. Would you like to have a couple of sips to relax?"
Xia Yan had a good alcohol tolerance, so he could play the role of a playboy in the first world.
The physical qualities of each world, as he entered the body for a longer time, began to change more towards his own constitution.
A glass of wine would not make him drunk. A
couple of sips would be fine.
Xia Yan stretched out his hand, his fingertips were white and tender, and his healthy light pink nails just touched the goblet, and he hadn't grasped it yet... Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the spaceship was attacked and shook violently. The
red wine glass was top-heavy and light-footed, and it swayed on the tray.
The bodyguard quickly grabbed it, but some of the wine still splashed on the young man's white coat, leaving a few ugly red marks.
Xia Yan: "..."
The bodyguard knew how picky his employer was: "I'm sorry."
The young man waved his hand: "Forget it, the situation is urgent, I'll go out and take a look."
"Yes."
Xia Yan asked the bodyguard to open the closed door. The outside was already in chaos. The hired bodyguards were all people who licked blood on the edge of a knife. They were relatively calm, but the maintenance workers and servants who followed the spaceship were staring blankly at the bright red flag outside, their faces pale.
"..."
"...The Flame Star Pirates."
"We're finished."
A group of terrifying star pirates who killed and robbed people, were ferocious and cruel, and were so powerful that they had fought with the Empire for hundreds of years but had not yet been wiped out. They haven't appeared for several years, why are they back now?
The equipment on Master Xia's private spaceship is absolutely top-notch, but it is a civilian spaceship after all, and is fundamentally different from the pirates' spaceships.
Seeing that the opponent is three times larger than theirs, the group of people were desperate enough to give up before the fight even started.
Another artillery bombardment came, and the captain opened the shield in time.
The dark blue translucent shield rose up and wrapped the entire spaceship. Taking this opportunity, the captain quickly increased the speed. As long as they flew to the territory of the next planet, the pirates would naturally leave.
Bomb!!!
Huge artillery fire exploded, the shield flashed violently, and 18% of the energy was consumed instantly.
"Damn! This is too powerful."
"Are we finished?"
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu I don't want to die."
Xia Yan seemed calm, but his mind was actually blank: [System!!! What should I do? The protagonist is chasing me? ? I won't be caught by him for revenge, right? ]
666 Cangsang lit a cigarette: [Or you can act coquettishly and let him let you go. ]
[……] Xia Yan's mouth twitched, and he hinted euphemistically, [I just dumped him today and said a lot of nasty things. ] The protagonist was obviously angry, how could he listen to him.
What a joke.
That is the protagonist of the star thief who is both good and evil, dares to love and hate, not a love-brained person.
[……]
666 had no choice.
It was just a newborn little system, and it was the first time for it to lead a host. Who could have thought that in every script sent down by the Lord God, the protagonists in it would become strange in the end.
The two novices were speechless and helpless.
In the end, it was Xia Yan who made the decision: [System, adjust my pain to zero.]
666 was always obedient, and quickly adjusted the data, and then asked: [Yan Yan, what are you going to do?]
[One last fight.]
He must not be caught by Ian now, otherwise the mission will collapse across the board, and his points will be gone... The worker has no income, so what is the point of doing it? Instead
of waiting for the mission to fail, it is better to find another way.
During the two minutes he was talking to the system, the spaceship was attacked several times again, and the energy rapidly dropped to 35%. Even if there was backup energy, it could not withstand such an attack.
Xia Yan no longer hesitated and walked quickly to the cockpit.
"Open the communicator and apply for contact with 'Flame'."
The captain was driving fast, and his head was about to explode when he heard his employer's answer. That was a star pirate who killed people without blinking an eye. Could he still expect the other party to be soft-hearted and let them go?
At the critical moment, the captain also lost his awe of the nobles and growled anxiously: "Don't come to make trouble. I'm busy and don't have time to play with you."
In extreme tension, the middle-aged man's stomach cramped and his fingers trembled. He swallowed nervously every time he typed a command.
Xia Yan glanced at the main screen. The shield had activated the backup energy and could only last for three minutes at most. In such a short time, he couldn't run away at all.
"Enough."
"I said I--" Very busy.
Before he finished the last two words, the young man said coldly and cruelly: "You know you are doing useless work, don't waste your energy."
The captain shuddered, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of blue-gray.
The deputy captain also stopped his auxiliary movements, held his head with both hands, and sobbed helplessly.
Although Xia Yan had never driven a spaceship, he had driven a mecha. Some buttons for calls and data transmission were all universal, and he quickly found what he wanted.
"Leave it to me, you two get out."
"I..."
Xia Yan pulled the man out of the driver's seat. His S-class strength allowed him to lift an adult man like a chicken: "Get out."
His voice was extremely cold, his expression was serious, and his eyebrows were shrouded in a murderous aura.
The two people shuddered subconsciously, not daring to talk back, dragging their tired bodies out. At the last moment, they had to at least leave a suicide note for their family.
As for the young master... let him play if he wants.
Anyway, there is no hope.
However... at the last second before stepping out of the cockpit, they heard someone's assurance: "Don't worry, I will let you go back alive."
The voice was not gentle, and there was no soothing meaning. It just lingered in their ears in a straightforward manner, as if stating an established fact.
The two turned around subconsciously, only to see the young man's soft black hair and thin and strong shoulders.
Then, the cabin door fell hard, blocking all sight and sound from the outside.
They stood there in a trance, and for some reason, their hearts suddenly calmed down. The others gathered around and called out several times before they came to their senses.
"Ah... let's get out... the young master is inside..."
"What's the point of stopping here? Why don't you run away?"
"You can't run away."
"It's over... we're all finished..." A group of people were wailing, and the bodyguards silently squeezed the space button, ready for a fight to the death.
"No, not necessarily." The captain whispered: "Young Master Xia said he would let us go back alive."
"Can he do it?" Some people didn't believe it, "No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. How can he compare with the bombardment of the spaceship." Especially the other side's spaceship must have been modified, and the firepower is so fierce that it makes people dizzy.
The captain whispered: "I believe him."
Perhaps because his last sentence was too firm, he wanted to believe it once.
Everyone thought of the young man in the cockpit, remembered his appearance and pride, and the words of blame were hidden in their throats, how could they say it? Forget it, the captain said he can't run away, what's the point of adding another minute or two.
In the cockpit.
Xia Yan applied for a call, and the other party answered quickly. In less than three seconds, Ian, disguised as mecha master D, appeared on the screen. He held his chin with both hands and said with a smile: "Baby, surprise."
"..."
Want to surprise him? He just didn't do what he wanted.
Xia Yan raised his head with a cold expression: "It's you."
"Did you find me?"
"Of course." He raised a sarcastic smile, "Why else do you think I asked you to analyze D's drawings? Of course I'm using you, idiot."
Ian: "..."
Ian's subordinates: "..." Oh my god! Sister-in-law is so powerful.
Do they know too much? This gossip cannot be eaten, otherwise the boss will kill people to silence them the next day. A group of people tiptoed and quietly left the cockpit.
Xia Yan: "You know I'm using you, do you still like me?"
"..."
His silence is the answer. Xia Yan held his chin with one hand: "It seems that I still like you, but it's a pity, I don't like people who are weaker than me." He raised his eyebrows, "Let's duel."
