Prince's Disease vs Knight's Fate [Interstellar]

The bottom line has been refreshed again and again.

However, Lu Zhongxiao still sounded like he was fussing, "It's not normal to be an adult at the age of 50. The universe is so big, and decades of time will be wasted on the mother star."

"Because the younger generations are immature in body function and mind, they are forced to stay on Saga. This is a regulation written in the constitution. After all, it is not only a headache for us to release the younger generation who cannot control their own destructive power to wander in the universe. Race is also a threat." Tyr explained earnestly, admiring Erlan's attitude towards the mermaid cubs.

This guy is really stating objectively, not showing off...not showing off!

Lu Zhongxiao's efforts to convince himself failed in the end, so he complained, "Shut up!"

The noisy time of the morning passed, and the arrival of the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce made the originally barren pirate star boil instantly!Fresh ingredients, concentrated nutrient solution, Mingrujian does not sell weapons, but the demand for such survival necessities is obviously greater.

When Lu Zhongxiao took a look at the warehouse reserves one by one, the sky darkened.Pirate Star is in a state of severe air pollution all year round. Even in the best environment, the sky is smoky yellow and almost black, so the difference between day and night is not very big.

Jet lag is out of the question.

And the entertainment activities on the planet not only cost money, but the quantity is extremely limited!Few people go out to have fun even if they don't sleep. Of course, worrying about being hacked is an important reason.

Pirates are indeed an interesting profession. Even though they have made so much money, they have been blacklisted by several nearby planets. It is impossible to have fun...

Tire's blue eyes reflected Lu Zhongxiao's busy figure, and sighed silently in his heart.

However, what the captain has to do is not difficult, it's just very complicated.Compared with other forces, the Wild Rose has a complete workflow, so it is not in a hurry.

The other members did not have the advantage of being "vigorous" brought about by high combat effectiveness. Even Bassong couldn't help but yawned and went to sleep. There were only two people left in the main control room of the base, Lu Zhongxiao and Tire.

The main control room is extremely streamlined, and the never-shutdown system is responsible for the security of the base.

Lu Zhongxiao was surrounded by a bunch of windows, and fell into a rare melancholy thought, "Whether it's in the universe or on the planet, life is so boring... There are very few entertainment facilities, and it's hard to see one of the latest scientific and technological achievements, and the price is expensive." kill."

"I thought you never bought things with reference to the price." Tire was repairing the loopholes in the base's defense system, and his finger speed was a little slower when he spoke.

Lu Zhongxiao closed the unnecessary windows and sneered, "There are so many people on the Wild Rose who have to pay their salaries, I really want to experience shopping without having to look at the price... Otherwise, next time I sell the loot, I will spend the money and run away overnight." .”

Tyr was shocked by his jumping logic for three seconds. The thickness of the skin of an upright young man is not at the same level as that of a captain who deals with murderers!

However, "absconding with money" is just a sigh.

Rearranged the various authorizations of the base system with the qualifications of the owner, and checked the expenditure by the way. Lu Zhongxiao's face darkened when he saw the latest sum of money for warship repairs, but he didn't complain. Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I plan to leave the planet for hunting in a week, so I have plenty of time. By the way, I’m going to teach that half-mermaid boy a lesson tomorrow for daring to cut sashimi with a particle sword!”

There is always a little leftover in everything, similar to the last bite of food, it is a bad habit he has developed without paying attention.Tyre, on the other hand, has the character of finishing everything in one go, frowned in distress, and suddenly felt that it would be nice to be lazy once in a while.

The two stood up together and prepared to leave. The electronic door of the main control room opened automatically, revealing an empty and somewhat lonely corridor.

"Dear Captain, 'unscrupulous profiteers' initiated a video communication with you, do you accept it?"

The system's notification sound interrupted Lu Zhongxiao's footsteps.

The only people called "unscrupulous profiteers" in the address book are... Mingrujian.It's late at night, why is he contacting me?

"Confirm the connection." Lu Zhongxiao sat back again, and the metal swivel chair made a chic arc.

Till stood aside and waited patiently.

In the communication window, the plain and simple top is still the same as before, with buttons on the breast, the retro style that is popular on the earth this year.He pinched his brows with a tired expression, and was still busy just before connecting the video.

"Since you can't make time, why do you still contact me?" Comparing the two places, Lu Zhongxiao's leisure and laziness seemed to be the original sin.

At least Mingrujian looked at him with such a silent accusation.

"Cough." The young person in charge of the chamber of commerce branch remained calm, playing with a pen in his hand, "I'm not very busy, it's just that the transaction amount is huge, and checking the account books made the optical brain crash, so I personally supervise some thing."

Even on the most remote planets, it is not difficult to achieve a paperless office. Of course, the pen in Ming Rujian's hand is not for writing. Just look at the pen barrel made of pure natural diamonds.

Lu Zhongxiao looked contemptuous, "Really, you are so weak, can you hold such a heavy pen?"

"As long as you have a good mind, there are a lot of people rushing to write for me. But you, I really suspect that the places in your brain that are not filled with knowledge are filled with fat..." Ming Rujian said calmly He replied, looking at his darkened face with a smile, "Why do you ask me to go to the hive to buy slaves? Now there are rumors that I have bad habits!"

Lu Zhongxiao slapped the table hard, and the floating screen trembled, "Who has fat! I have a standard streamlined combat figure! That half-mermaid... Hahaha, it's a good thing I didn't come out to buy it myself, the person in charge of the chamber of commerce with bad habits , please take him away."

"Take it away? The boy who was auctioned off?" Ming Rujian was taken aback, because she used her brain for three seconds to understand what he meant, "What are you doing? Let me take him back to Earth?"

Lu Zhongxiao nodded, and crossed his fingers on the table, "Dr. Battleship's... a distant relative, whose bone age is considered to be an adult, but looks very young, and his education is very poor! He must be strictly disciplined! I can't go back, please find someone on Earth. Leave it at the orphanage."

Tyre smiled when he heard his various topics emphasizing "education".

All in all, the captain doesn't look very old either.

In the universe, the earth is a high-welfare planet. Even according to what Lu Zhongxiao said, "just find an orphanage and throw it away", Yu Jue can receive living expenses on a monthly basis before he finishes his university education. In the end, we will carry out reclamation work on alien planets, but we will also be paid!

"Understood." Ming Rujian responded casually.

Lu Zhongxiao saw that his old friend was absent-minded, and asked, "Are you in trouble? I've greeted all the nearby galaxies, and no one dared to touch your merchant ship."

"It's not that I'm in trouble, but you." Ming Rujian turned the diamond pen and blinked meaningfully, "...he's coming."

"Dangdang!"

That was the sound of the wise and mighty captain hitting the floor.

Tyre thought that he was in an unstable evolution situation again, so he hurried over to help him, holding down the rotating chair with one hand, and helped Lu Zhongxiao out from under the table with the other hand, "How is your body?"

In the video, there was an extra figure of a blond young man. Ming Rujian saw it, and said with a relaxed tone, "He's fine, he was just scared."

"I'm not afraid of him!" Lu Zhongxiao struggled to get up, slumped on the seat, grabbed Tyre's arm and emphasized angrily, "You came to contact me just to say this!"

"That's right, let me appreciate your expression by the way." Ming Rujian readily admitted, and sighed with a malicious smile, "The decompression effect is really good!"

Lu Zhongxiao's fist hit the button that cut off the communication, "I've known you for so many years!"

Ming Rujian's laughter that made her so angry that she hurt her internally stopped abruptly!The entire main control room was suddenly so quiet that one could even hear the sizzle of electric current in the machine...

The originally energetic black hair hung down to cover his eyes, and Lu Zhongxiao still kept his head down: "No, call all the entourage of the battleship, and we will leave now."

"Now?" Tyre observed his expression.

The rare seriousness proves that the "he" that Ming Rujian said is completely dangerous.

Lu Zhongxiao's expression is usually unscrupulous with a bit of non-evil aura.But now, it looks like he will be caught by the real bad guys if he takes one step too slow.

Raise your hand and press the emergency notification button on the console, and all the rooms in the base lit up with red emergency lights!Lu Zhongxiao coughed and conveyed the order to everyone's ears.

"Attention all the accompanying members of the Wild Rose! The preparations will be completed within 15 minutes, and they will gather at the main gate to go to the space station! The members staying at the base will keep in touch with the battleship at any time, and will conduct safety confirmation every eight hours. In addition, inform Doctor Erland to send your people to the space station. Send it to the person in charge of the Star Chamber of Commerce, we are leaving."

The abandoned battleship base shrouded in dark red light added a little more tension.Of course some people are dissatisfied with being woken up right after falling asleep, but no one has the guts to complain directly to Lu Zhongxiao.

Besides, being able to use this notification method proves that the captain is definitely not joking.

Till himself didn't have any luggage to sort out. Five minutes later, he was the first to stand in the assembly area at the main entrance. He was quite surprised to see each member appearing at the entrance with militarized efficiency.

The warehouse has just been replenished, so the Wild Rose is ready to go at any time, but the other members only rest for one day after the battle, and their physical strength is a little bit behind.

Replacement of uniforms, mother's photo, the untidy bedroom was tossed and turned into a mess, Lu Zhongxiao hurriedly sorted out the things he needed, and swished them into the suitcase. Fold it.

Then there was a "crack" and the computer crashed.

House seemingly endless rain!

Lu Zhongxiao let out a sigh of relief, and simply rolled up the things casually and closed the box, and the metal buttons at both ends were automatically closed with a click.

He didn't bother to change his clothes, he only brought a full set of individual equipment for combat, and took the suspension vehicle with everyone to reach the space station as quickly as possible.

Anyway, Pirate Star has no traffic rules and is not afraid of speeding tickets!

"Hurry up, run up and line up to board the gangway! Erlan, can you go faster?" Sitting in the cockpit of the battleship, Lu Zhongxiao woke up the AI ​​Maggie, and continued to urge through the radio.

The mermaid's legs that are used to move on land are not suitable for strenuous exercise, and Erland was panting with the medical kit in both hands, "If you have the ability to swim faster, if, if in the sea... I can swim faster than a hover car! "

"boom--"

The roar of the battleship leaving the harbor was finally annihilated in the vacuum, and it became more and more quiet.It wasn't until he left Pirate Star that Lu Zhongxiao's face looked better. He handed over the driving rights to Maggie, and walked into the meeting room with a yawn.

Space on a battleship is limited, so everyone's room isn't very big.Relatively speaking, the place used for meetings is fairly spacious.

Ba Song opened his sleepy eyes, "Boss, leaving in such a hurry..."

"Well, I can't help but go hunting." Lu Zhongxiao interrupted him, resolutely refusing to reveal half of the details, but gave Tyre a threatening look.

How could a dignified criminal have anything to fear!

Tyre, who was sitting at the bottom, looked as usual.

In fact, even if he didn't threaten, the blond youth didn't intend to expose him. The system connected to the battleship confirmed the route and asked, "Where are we going?"

Lu Zhongxiao just set a direction for the Wild Rose to move forward, without giving an exact destination at all.

"Leave first and then talk." The tired captain lay down on the chair in the center of the meeting room, buried his face in his arms, and the position was just opposite to him.

The table fixed on the floor is oval, and the holographic screen in the middle broadcasts the picture directly in front of the Briar in real time, always bright and sometimes dark.

Through the screen, Tire's figure was not very clear in his eyes.

Super endurance does not mean unlimited, not long after, the sound of Lu Zhongxiao's breathing was heavier than usual, and it seemed that he was already dozing off drowsily.

Till sat in his seat and thought about it for a moment, then asked Bassong: "If I plan to tell him to go back to his room and lie down in the dormant cabin..."

"Then the moment the captain is woken up, you will be finished." Basong reminded solemnly.With half of the Zerg gene, although he will feel tired, the rest time is much shorter than that of the earth people, and he is not too sleepy now.

The conversation came to an end, and the empty meeting room was filled with Lu Zhongxiao's sleeping breathing.

Till looked at the captain's sleeping posture at his desk, and said softly: "Excuse me, I'll go to the logistics department to get some nutrient solution."

"En." Basong casually responded and called out the mini-game of the portable optical brain, not paying attention to it.After all, the calories needed by S-level creatures on Star Saga are not at the same level as him.

Although the mother race is a Zerg with the same level of combat power in the universe, they are not high-consumption creatures.The environment of the Worm Star is harsh and the land is barren, and the prosperity of the race is maintained entirely by the residents' almost starving physique and extraordinary reproductive ability.

Tyre got up to leave, and his simple actions showed good upbringing. When he walked, his leather boots stepped on the smooth ground without making a sound.

In addition to hunger, the contact with Saga must also keep him away from others.

There is no concept of day and night in the universe, and there is only darkness and silence outside the transparent porthole, and the small light emitted by the explosion of celestial bodies.Occasionally, the light spots of stars can be seen, and the distance from the battleship is thousands of light years away.

It's almost impossible to get there without a fast-travel wormhole.

"I'm Tyr Kabulaka. I've been busy during this period, so I couldn't contact you in time, sorry." In a corner of the corridor, Tyr opened a hidden communication channel and lowered his voice.

As a pirate's first salary, Tire went to the black market to buy some parts, installed them in an inconspicuous place under the central control panel of the battleship, and then changed some system programs.

The communication channel is so hidden that Vivianne, who is in charge of system security, checks every day and can't find it!Of course, such behavior does not violate his code of integrity and integrity.Anyway... the principles of the pirates are very loose!

Tyre, whose creed has gone astray unknowingly, is now contacting his subordinates.

"My lord, are you still not returning? Although the lord council is not in a hurry to take back the 'king', it is always unsafe for you to be adrift. Moreover, the commander of the space army on the earth side once again sent an invitation to meet, out of emotion and reason, You should accept both."

Listening to the familiar voice of his subordinates, Tire thought calmly, his light golden eyelashes trembled, and his tone was still smiling: "I can't help it, I'm one of the most wanted in the universe now, and I'm not suitable to meet the regular army. Cooperation with the earth It is very necessary, but not at this moment. Tell the lord council that the data on the 'king' is still under observation and collection. This is the fusion of the 'king' and alien creatures in history, and it must be recorded."

He was silent for a moment, and added: "Cabraca's people can also be used as the carrier of the spirit of the 'king', but when the 'king' is attached to us, it has no effect... But he is different. In him, the supernatural power The extraordinary spiritual power is still there, and its influence on me is even doubled..."

Till's eyes quickly flashed Basong's suddenly pale face during the base battle training, and his almost crazy destructive behavior at the hive auction.

"—Double enhancement?! Isn't that... We got a mobile 'king'! If this is true, Saga Star will sweep all races and stand at the top of the universe!" The tone of the subordinates was suddenly excited stand up.

Till leaned against the wall and stood relaxed, but his warning tone was extremely serious: "Don't forget the ancestor's precept, no creature's ambition can carry the entire universe, if it does, it will be the beginning of destruction, 50 years of training have not let Have you suppressed your instincts? We are S-level creatures, but we can only be called 'smart creatures' if we suppress the desire to destroy."

"...Okay, so far, the 'King' is hidden in him, and I haven't come to a conclusion when it will play a role. But what can be confirmed is that the deep sleep will not cause the 'King' to lose control and completely lose consciousness It will have a 'crazy' stimulating effect on me. Report these to the lord council, and then delay my return."

"Yes, this subordinate is rude!" Hearing the admonition, the subordinate subconsciously saluted even though he knew that Lord Tyre would not be able to see it.

What I think in my heart is: If the council knows this, it will probably need the carrier of the "king" even more. It's just that it is too busy to rectify the planet to completely wipe out the Wuxing people, so I can't take care of it...

"Come here, I'm going back, I'll contact you next time."

Tyre stood up straight, calculated the time to return to the conference room, then cut off the communication, and ran to the warehouse as quickly as possible to get the concentrated nutrient solution.

There is no day and night in space, but living things do.Most of the members of the Wild Rose are dormant, and only some of the personnel on duty are left, so the entire battleship is extremely quiet.

The electronic door of the conference room opened silently, and when Till came in, Bassong had already broken the record of the little game in his brain, and Lu Zhongxiao was so sleepy that his spine was twisted, and he didn't even notice it.

"If you rest on your stomach for a long time, your spine will deform, leading to hunchback, increased intraocular pressure, causing myopia, and it's not good for your stomach..." Tier sighed superficially, shook his head in his heart, and put the unopened nutrient solution on the table.

However, Lu Zhongxiao would never listen to such blunt advice, telling him that "sleeping on the stomach with high shoulders makes him not handsome at all", and the effect may be better.

Just when Tire was about to carry him back to the sleep cabin and eat again, someone even more ignorant suddenly broke the silence and completely wiped out Lu Zhongxiao's drowsiness!

"Alert! Alert! The system has been compromised! The system..."

Maggie's voice, which was so gentle that it was no different from a human being, became extremely sharp. Before the urgent reminder could be finished, it was forcibly replaced by another stranger!

"The battleship ahead, please reply to confirm your identity. We belong to the patrol fleet of the Earth Space Force. Repeat. The battleship ahead, please reply to confirm your identity. We belong to the patrol fleet of the Earth Space Force."

The emotionless voice burst through the system of the Briar, bursting from every speaker.

"You broke through the defense system as soon as you came up? Is it a new type of virus? Or is the other party's technicians too strong?" Without hesitation, Tyr's fingers were already operating on the desktop, and the window was adjusted to the state of preparation. The largest floating window in the middle was always Lock onto the image of the enemy.

As for Lu Zhongxiao, who rubbed his eyes and straightened his body, he only heard the word "Earth Space Force"... Then he saw the overwhelming real fleet directly in front of the Wild Rose.

Formation advances, advances and retreats with limits, this is the regular army!The matt finish of the hull is introverted, the lines are smooth, and it is so huge that it fills all people's sights!

In contrast, no matter how well Lu Zhongxiao trains his subordinates, they are still nothing but pirates!

The first thought that popped into Tyre's mind was actually "the captain's inexplicable self-esteem is about to be hurt again"...

"Has been invaded? Midnight, what's going on!" Vivianne, who was in charge of wartime technical support, woke up from her dream and activated the communication system inside the battleship, "I'm already working with the whole team to remedy it, why... nothing at all Use it!"

Lu Zhongxiao, who has an excellent reaction speed, already understood what happened. Looking at her disheveled pink hair like cotton candy in the window, he asked, "Could it be... the anti-warship AI 'Nightmare IX' virus? Isn't it developed by your mother?" ! Why can't you do anything?"

Even if you don't have the strength to go to war, but give up resistance and surrender directly, according to the laws of each planet, you will not directly launch a blow to the enemy, which also shows that it is much safer to encounter regular troops than to encounter pirates who may eat black .

Therefore, Till has no sense of danger of dying, but feels that it is not good for Lu Zhongxiao to keep saying "your mother" every now and then...

"It's because my mother developed it, so there's nothing I can do about it!" Vivienne slammed her fist on the table, giving up on repairing in despair, "All the remote attack systems have been paralyzed... If the virus in the previous version might still It can be cracked!"

Eh?

So, that word doesn't seem to be a curse?

Till coughed lightly: "Let me try it. Even if you can't activate the particle heavy cannon, you can still find a chance to escape. First, send a single-man spaceship team to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then..."

Lu Zhongxiao stroked his hair, his black hair regained vigor, and pressed it on the back of his hand.

A cool touch came over, and Tyre stopped his movements.

The last time I stopped myself was to avoid King Steen's limelight in the hive, because it was not suitable for hands-on, so now?

—Is it not suitable to escape?Still can't escape?

Lu Zhongxiao put on a distressed expression, "Since it's him, it's useless to run away...Ming Rujian is really, the information is too late!"

How could it be possible to collide with the Earth Space Force just after leaving the Pirate Star?

The performance of the Briar is superior, the weapon system is simple but powerful enough, but after all, the model is only average.Facing the super warships of the regular troops, they immediately appeared one size smaller.

The leader of the space force, the warship, stopped right in front of him without any action or speech, as if he had known the details of the Wild Rose for a long time, and the sound of intruding into the system just now was just a reminder to Lu Zhongxiao.

"Hello." Lu Zhongxiao opened the video communication on the public channel and contacted the other party's leader ship, "Don't hurt my subordinates, there is no other request."

Such an uncle-like tone...

The figure of the person in charge of the space force appeared on all the floating windows of the Wild Rose, and after just a glance, Tire roughly understood Lu Zhongxiao's abnormality.

He had heard of that person's name a long time ago, and only saw the real person today.As the new commander of the Space Force, the opponent can be said to be quite young and stable.The black Space Force uniform, counting the cuff buttons, has a total of eight silver buttons.

Black symbolizes the eternal night of the universe, while silver represents the first eight planets of the solar system.

The new commander's left arm was tucked at his waist, his palm was holding his military cap upwards, his face was gloomy, his shoulders were straight, his waist was wide and his waist was thin, and that face...

For a moment, Tire felt that Lu Zhongxiao himself was standing in front of him wearing that outfit... But the leader of Wild Rose would never be able to imitate such a serious and serious expression!

"I only accepted the request of Ms. Zhong, the technical support commander, to bring back her daughter Vivianne who ran away from home during the patrol. Of course, it also includes arresting you, my useless brother." Without joy, complaints or concern, There was no emotion in that voice, it was just a statement.

Lu Yizheng, the new commander of the Earth Space Force, is regarded as a man who is as boring as boiled water.

Sure enough.

"I think it's very unlucky for you, as a man, to say something like 'brother is useless'." Lu Zhongxiao kept standing, not to be outdone, but still stood crookedly, teasing impertinently.

As soon as the words fell, Bassong already turned his face away knowingly and shrugged his shoulders, and the tension that the Briar was surrounded by was much lessened.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

But for a moment, Lu Yizheng made a gesture with his usual expression, and the super warship's long-range attack was activated, a series of attacks aimed at the most vulnerable engine of the Wild Rose!

The line of sight was violently rotated and turned upside down, the lights above the head flickered, and the noisy electric sound of the Briar continued, obviously it was severely damaged beyond repair!

Lu Zhongxiao held on to the table in the meeting room so that he didn't fall down. He used so much force that he left deep fingerprints on it!But other people were not so lucky, and there was also the unlucky guy who fell out and hit his head with blood, and the wailing continued...

Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Yizheng put his military cap on his head straight, "It's been many years and I still haven't learned how to speak. This is the price."

In a word, let everyone understand that no matter how similar two people look, they are still different in the final analysis.

Lu Zhongxiao said dozens of sentences "If you don't listen to me, I'll beat you" every day, but usually he didn't do anything, those words were mostly bluff.

The new army commander is different, he only reminds him "you have to listen to me" after the beating is over.

In short, he is a man who prefers action to threats.

"The main engine and particle cannon are completely scrapped... I just repaired the battleship! Lu Yizheng, you bastard, can't you aim at other places that are cheaper to repair!" Lu Zhongxiao quickly checked the damage, and his heart ached. Better to die.

"Within 10 minutes, everyone disarms and boards the main warship in the escape pod, otherwise I will start a new round of attack." Before cutting off the communication, Lu Yizheng suddenly sighed, and finally showed a human expression, "Leaving home so For a long time, there should be a degree of willfulness."

……

"Ah, I originally planned to remind that kid that the Earth Space Force is patrolling the nearby star field, and his elder brother is also here, so don't leave the planet to rob right after the supplies are finished. But the communication was cut off too quickly, and I didn't have time to say..."

Pirate Star Late at night, Ming Rujian, who was still counting money, was talking to herself, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

— But it shouldn't matter, right?

Normal people know that they should hide in the base and not go out to wander around.
