Behind the boy was the Captain's room of the USS Raibert, and countless floating virtual screens turned the whole picture into a bright blue.
He was small, almost like a child curled up in the chair against the large captain's chair, but no one dared to really see him as a harmless child.
Obviously, the other party should be one of the participants in this incident, maybe even the leader, and he actually chose this place to shoot this video. This kind of dazzling demonstration and ridicule is like a slap in the face. Union slaps.
- All the officers present did not look very good.
The teenager smiled and waved at the camera:
"First meeting, please take care, I'm the captain of the Raibert..."
He paused, as if he had remembered something, and patted his forehead angrily: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to change her name this morning!"
The screen suddenly changed, and cut to the outer vista of the Raibert.
Under the light of the stars not far away, the metal hull of the Raibert, which was once known as the star of the Alliance, was plated with a layer of golden light, and the majestic ship name depicted by the silver star ore extract on the hull was crooked. The red paint was scratched off, and the following was written in unrestrained scribbles:
Leviathan.
A few large and unorganized characters are written in bright red paint, comically as if they were written by a child, and they are particularly abrupt and ridiculous on the iron starship with perfectly coordinated proportions and smooth lines.
The screen cuts to the captain's room.
The thin boy who can see the bones still has a heartless smile:
"From today onwards, the Leviathan will not bother you anymore. Of course, if you remember your old relationship and really want to pay for military and maintenance expenses, of course I will not refuse it, so please bring it with you when you meet next time. Enough star coins!"
Then, the video ends.
The video is short, but the officers in front of the screen are getting their noses crooked.
This is simply a disgrace!
The other party not only stole the ship, modified the name of the ship without authorization, scribbled on the ship with the permanent coating carried by the drone, and even arrogantly provoked them. This is not only an insult to the laws of the alliance, but also contempt for the authority of the alliance. !
A young general stood up angrily and gave a standard Union military salute to the general sitting in the first place, with anger flashing in his eyes:
"Please allow this subordinate to lead the warship to track the whereabouts of the Raibert! The subordinate must make this arrogant fugitive pay the price for his actions and fight for the glory of the alliance!"
The general looked uncertainly at the picture that was frozen not far away, and then slowly shook his head:
"Don't be impulsive, it's not easy."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the general in the center of the round table, quietly waiting for his next words.
"Before the Raibert was hijacked, its shield was not touched in any way, and none of the crew members sent a distress message. If it wasn't broken from the inside, then the opponent was strong enough to develop a It wouldn't be the case if the light shields off the Raibert hit the hull's weapons and were strong enough to intercept signal waves at least four light-years away."
An officer was stunned and said, "Is it possible that..."
The general shook his head, his eyes heavy: "It's hard to say, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."
After speaking, he smiled coldly: "However, I am not without backing hands."
The general tapped a few times on the virtual screen in front of him, and a soft mechanical female voice sounded:
"Emergency mode activated, forced activation of the backup positioning system of the USS Libert - Activation in progress... Activation completed."
As the female voice fell, a bright spot of light suddenly lit up on the light blue star map floating above the round table, moving at a constant speed in the direction away from the alliance's control area.
Everyone was surprised:
"This is… "
The general narrowed his eyes slowly: "Due to the increasingly severe situation in recent months, I ordered all retired warships to have backup positioning systems with emergency activation in case the alliance's enemies intend to snatch them, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It comes in handy.”
The other officers at the round table looked in admiration.
The light spots on the star map slowly drove towards a meteorite area on the edge of the alliance's control area. There were only two or three desolate and abandoned planets around, and it seemed that they wanted to escape the control of the alliance.
"Send three main ships and twenty light warships to pursue the Raibert with all their strength!"
Regardless of whether there is a driving force behind this incident, let them know what the price of angering the alliance is!
at the same time.
Outside the monitoring range of the Alliance Tianluodi.com, the video information data leaked from the Alliance Army and flew to a dark warship that was quietly moored outside the occupied area.
This area is starless and shrouded in icy darkness.
This warship is so huge, almost twice the size of the Raibert. The dark steel wrapped around the outside is indestructible. The outline of the ship is sturdy and concise. The top-level interstellar guns reveal dark muzzles from under the outer protective layer. It looks like a sleeping beast, showing its fangs that are extremely deterrent in the dark.
At the top of the ship, which is covered with heavy shields, inside the outer anti-aircraft glass layer of the starship, is the cold and spacious captain's room.
A huge virtual screen is like a complete wall.
In the light blue data network, the sly smiling face of the teenager freezes and pauses on the screen, and then is dragged back to the beginning of the video again to play it again.
In the captain's room, which was engulfed by darkness, the fluorescent blue light emitted by the electronic screen outlined the figure of a man not far away.
Standing in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, he has broad shoulders and straight legs.
There was an almost terrifying aura on his body, the killing Leng Ruan that seemed to ooze from his bones was suppressed and restrained by extremely powerful restraint, but there was still a power that made people tremble from the depths of his soul.
In the darkness, a low and hoarse chuckle sounded:
"interesting."
·
In the captain's room of the former Leviathan, now the Leviathan, Ge Xiu sat in the captain's chair and swayed his slender legs leisurely.
A huge virtual star map is suspended on the table, and countless complicated orbits and icons are intertwined, like a complicated blue galaxy.
He stared intently at the star map in front of him, as if he was examining something unknown and distant through the image in front of him.
The galaxies were shrunk and reflected in the bottom of his eyes, like the blue waves of light rising from the dark lake.
Xiao Yi peeped at the door a few times, but hesitated to move forward.
Ge Xiu suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes pierced through the air like some kind of tangible arrow, and shot straight at Xiao Yi who was standing at the door.
He raised his eyebrows and made a suspicious monophonic: "Huh?"
Xiao Yi fell into the captain's room in a panic, as if a sleeper who was suddenly awakened from a dream.
The experience of this period of time was indeed a dream for him. A thrilling dream, like a combination of some unrealistic delusion and a bizarre fantasy.
Little One's feet are still empty.
For fear of waking up in the next second, when you open your eyes, you will find yourself lying at the bottom of a tattered garbage shed, staring at the foul sky of the planet through the tip of a mountain of garbage surrounded by stench.
He took a deep breath nervously and began to report the current state of the ship:
"Cut, as of now, only eight cargo ships have returned from the USS Raibert, and the rest are still out to carry out the task of collecting goods and have not returned, plus the number of people in the cargo ship we were on, a total of 3,220. Hundreds of people… "
Ge Xiu casually lowered his eyes, his eyes stayed on the star map model floating in front of him, his fingertips tapped regularly on the cold metal tabletop.
Xiao Yi glanced at Ge Xiu tremblingly, and his voice subconsciously became smaller:
"... Only forty-two remained."
After taking over the Leibert completely, he explained the current situation to the kidnapped people according to Ge Xiu's instructions, and informed the two options now available. If you want, you can stay in the changed hands. On the renamed Leviathan, and the two of them fight against the pursuit of the entire alliance, it doesn't matter if they don't want to, they can take the freighter they came to return to their original planet, and the freighter and the freighter will return to their original planet. There is no need to return the items on the list.
The pros and cons of these two options are obvious, and normal people will make reasonable judgments.
Therefore, the vast majority of people choose to return to their former planet. Although the environment is harsh and barren, they only have no worries about their lives, and there is a whole cargo ship as compensation.
Only forty-two were willing to stay.
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes in frustration, waiting for Ge Xiu's reaction.
However, the expected anger did not come for a long time, so he secretly raised his eyes, only to find that it was right in the dark eyes of Ge Xiu.
Xiao Yi was stunned.
Ge Xiu's face was unpleasant. On the contrary, his eyes were slightly narrowed, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his expression couldn't hide his happiness.
As if a successful architect scrutinizes his drawings, a man who manipulates a chessboard looks at his masterpiece.
Xiao Yi frowned incomprehensibly and couldn't help asking:
"Xiao Qi, why do you want to tell them the real situation now? If you don't tell them, maybe our helpers will have more helpers and more chances of winning..."
Ge Xiu looked at the star map in front of him again, and said casually:
"The less you want, the better."
Xiao Yi blinked blankly, not understanding what Ge Xiu meant.
"The Leviathan is a retired war ship. Even if it is transformed into a cargo transfer station, it cannot afford the material needs of 3,000 people."
"But, then... What about those cargo ships?" As a poor resident of Junk Star, the young couple still couldn't control the grieving of the supplies they gave away for nothing.
"Under the current circumstances, the freighter can only slow down our speed of action," Ge Xiu yawned, his thin waist stretched out in the wide captain's chair, like a cat stretching by the fire, his voice hoarse , seems to have a deep meaning: "And... they have other uses of their own."
Xiao Yi nodded as if he didn't understand.
I saw Ge Xiu nimbly jumped down from the chair and walked towards the huge porthole. The bright star river outside the window painted his side face with a layer of light blue brilliance, making his thin paper-like body more and more lined. Small.
He stared out the window and asked casually:
"Before this time, each cargo ship had a quota of 200 people, but this time the quota for each ship has doubled. In order to transport more labor, the Raibert even reduced the equipment of the interstellar heavy artillery, you know why ?"
Xiao Yi shook his head shyly.
Ge Xiu turned his head to look at him, the shrunken Xinghai Galaxy reflected on the pitch-black iris.
He said meaningfully: "Of course because their front lines need more cannon fodder for service."
As soon as his voice fell, a huge bright red warning suddenly appeared on the star map suspended on the table, and the piercing alarm sounded throughout the captain's room:
"Alert, alert, there are multiple high-level energy reactions approaching!"
Xiao Yi took a breath, looked up in a panic, and looked at the huge star map that was dyed red, only to see dozens of bright red spots suddenly lit up in the area where there was only a single logo of the Leviathan. Surrounded in their direction, at this speed, they will be caught up in five hours at most!
Xiao Yi's eyes widened in horror, his back was instantly soaked with sweat, his hands and feet were cold and shaking—
What, what's going on
He looked for the figure of Ge Xiu absentmindedly, like a drowning man helplessly looking for driftwood in the waves.
Ge Xiu turned to look out the porthole again.
He stared at the dark universe indifferently, as if through the sky and celestial bodies, staring at some distant and invisible existence. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, like...
Right now this is exactly what he expected.
He shuddered consciously for a while, and felt a chill rise from his feet and quickly spread throughout his body.
At this moment, Ge Xiu turned around. The bottom of his eyes flickered with suppressed excitement and fanaticism, as if the devil lurking in the abyss cast a fleeting glance in the flash of lightning, a kind of cold and treacherous almost inhuman.
He licked his lips and whispered softly:
- "War is coming."
