Star-Lord sat opposite Xia Zhiye. After listening to his words, he nodded repeatedly: "And then?"
A vein popped up on Xia Zhiye's forehead. Is this retribution in this life
After letting out a breath, he resisted the urge to hit someone and continued, "Based on all the current cases, we can conclude that, first, the other party agrees to exchange hostages for ransom! Second, the other party will never let the kidnappers go easily! Third, based on the above two points, the action we formulate must be based on 'speed' and 'accuracy'. Complete the process of exchanging hostages for ransom as quickly as possible."
"Hmm, then what?"
Star-Lord nodded and poured Xia Zhiye a glass of water.
Xia Zhiye took a sip to moisten his throat, and for the sake of the glass of water, he continued, "According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, if necessary, the other party does not mind using the power of the Nova Corps to capture the kidnappers. If... remember, I said if, if we place the transaction in the capital, Chaidaxing, then the result will definitely be that we will be unable to escape. The power of the Nova Corps is stationed here, and with the armed capabilities of the Nova Corps, our actions will be restricted instantly!"
Star-Lord opened his mouth and blurted out "and then?", but when he saw Xia Zhiye's raised fist, he swallowed the words and blinked.
Xia Zhiye nodded with satisfaction and continued, "But the Nova Corps is not spread across the entire Nova Empire! Considering their current war relationship with the Kree, there are many colonies on the frontiers of the territory where the Nova Corps is not deployed!"
Having said that, he turned on the projection device on the table, and the entire territory of the Nova Empire appeared before him.
After scanning several colonies belonging to the Nova Empire, he picked out one of the planets and said, "The planets bordering the Kree are basically in a state of war. This is definitely not good news for us. Most of the military forces of each other are stored here. Whether it is the Nova Corps or the Kree, once they are besieged by them, what awaits us will be a miserable result... In contrast, this planet is located in the rear, bordering a neutral area. It is not developing rapidly and its military force is slightly scarce. It is a good entry point."
"I know this place!"
Star-Lord looked at the 'planet' in Xia Zhiye's hand and said, "I've been to this place, and I was impressed by the huge second-hand goods market there. You can find a lot of good things there. To be honest, if we have time, we can go there and look for useful things!"
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "This is why I chose this place. It is the largest second-hand goods trading market in the surrounding star field, and it is a mixed bag. Because of the war, the troops assigned here can only maintain local public security. In fact, if it did not belong to the Nova Empire, it would have been looted countless times. If they choose this place as the trading location, they will not be able to mobilize enough forces in a short period of time to intercept us. Otherwise, the public security of this planet itself will be in danger of collapse!"
“… Well, that makes sense, but there’s a problem.”
Star-Lord thought for a moment and said, "How should we conduct our transaction? We can't just jump onto this planet and swagger and tell them to pay money in exchange for people, right?"
"Of course not."
Xia Zhiye shook his head and said, "We cannot enter this planet after the transaction begins. If you want to go to the flea market to look for something, you must do so before the transaction begins. The transaction location must be chosen in an empty universe and connected to the Nova Empire's video network. The entire process of this transaction must be made public! The Nova Empire cannot delay even a single minute in this process. The total transaction time must not exceed one hour! If the transaction cannot be completed within one hour, we must leave no matter what."
"Playing so big?"
Star-Lord said in surprise: "So are we going to be on TV?"
"No, only me."
Xia Zhiye said with a gloomy face: "Anyway, I am already a wanted criminal of the Nova Empire, so I don't mind showing off in front of them. In contrast, you have to hide. When I leave in the future, you will still have to hang around in this galaxy."
"Although it does make sense, I feel like I'm not a human being."
Star-Lord looked at Summer Night.
"You are not..."
Xia Zhiye muttered something, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "In fact, if this transaction can be successfully completed, my travel expenses will probably be almost enough. At that time, I only need to get a spaceship in the neutral zone, and I can go home. The Nova Empire's wanted list has nothing to do with me anymore, which is why I don't care about it."
"That's... okay."
Star-Lord blinked pitifully: "I didn't expect that we would be separated so soon, but it doesn't matter, we are in the same starry sky, if I miss you, I can even go to Earth to see you. It's just that the map is not easy to find. Yongdu's map was given to him by someone else, and I have been in the Milky Way for so long, and I have not seen a second star map to Earth. Although, I don't really want to go back..."
Star-Lord kept talking to Xia Zhiye for a while, making it seem as if Xia Ye would not live long.
When Xia Zhiye was about to lose control and hit someone, Star-Lord came to the driver's seat, redefined the coordinates, and traveled through the wormhole.
Not every wormhole's entrance is outside the planet; in fact, most of them are distributed throughout the universe.
After coming out of the wormhole and flying in the universe for another two days, a dark planet appeared in the sight of Xia Zhiye and Star-Lord.
Drive the spacecraft to the satellite port, where their spacecraft will temporarily dock and refuel.
At this time they can leave the spaceship and go to the flea market on the ground to find something they want.
The process went very smoothly. The other party only required some simple information for registration, and the spacecraft was allowed to dock.
After getting off the spaceship, Xia Zhiye tightened the mask on his face and followed Star-Lord towards the checkpoint.
"Don't be nervous."
Star-Lord whispered, "They won't ask you to take off your mask."
Xia Zhiye nodded silently. He had already done research in this regard before.
And through observations over the past period of time, he also discovered that, let alone those wearing masks.
Even the guy with a mask on his head and the label of "suspicious element" written all over his body was easily let go when he passed the prosecutor.
"I'm afraid this is the so-called no-man's land."
Xia Zhiye let out a sigh of relief and followed Star-Lord calmly to the checkpoint to undergo inspection! (To be continued)
