Cranberry is a planet rich in geothermal resources. After more than 20 years of construction, it already has good facilities, providing female pirates with one-stop enjoyment of food, drink, and fun. As long as they want to, they can buy any Things, the transactions here do not use star coins, but use hard currency.
The area of the underground town is not very large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and basically everything that can be found here, as long as you can afford it, you can enjoy the treatment of an emperor. Ryan and his party came out with enough gold and silver coins. Even in the interstellar age, the empire's gold reserves are still the basis for issuing currency. If there is reimbursement from the Legion of Glory, then simply spend a lot of money and have a good time. The hotel is not high, with a total of six floors. Ryan and the others lived in the luxury suite on the top floor. The suite has three bedrooms. Except for Harriet who has one for herself, the others live in pairs. There are also ultra-luxury bathtubs in the suite, a game room for fun, and matching room service... It is absolutely worth the money spent.
In the living room, everyone changed their clothes and gathered here. After checking that there were no eavesdropping devices in the room, Ryan placed a jamming ball on the table to block eavesdropping.
Harriet occupied the single sofa, and sat on it laughing and laughing, "Haha, someone touched Ryan's butt, how does it feel, did that person say it's great!"
Derrick and Jack couldn't help laughing, and when they thought of Ryan's expression at that time, they wanted to laugh together, to save Ryan some face, so they stopped laughing. When the female pirate was sternly rejected by Ryan, it was a pity that the dwarf tyrannosaurus rex didn't eat the long-necked dragon.
"Tell me, what does that pirate look like?" Fan Luting was not on the scene, and asked Derrick curiously.
Derrick said with a smirk: "Only sixty centimeters tall, with a big head and a small body. I know that there is a tropical planet in the Star Field of Life. The people on it are all short due to genetic reasons. They probably came from that planet." .”
"The famous dwarf planet?"
"Well, that's the one. There is a delicious green fruit growing in the rainforest." Ryan's focus is different.
Fan Lunting nodded and looked at Ryan, "Lian's charm is really great."
Ryan: "..." It's not a good feeling to be touched by someone other than Auston, and it's not enviable. He doesn't want this kind of charm!
Harriet's paws scratched in the air, "Xiao Fan, don't be envious, you have me, I'll catch you."
Fan Luanting turned his head away, his face almost contorted, "No, I refuse. Harriet, see you in the ring when I get back, I want you to know what will happen if you pinch my ass casually!"
"I'm willing to accompany you baby, I can actually be responsible for you." They just happen to be "unmarried women, unmarried men", which can be digested internally and are very suitable. "You happen to be the type I like. How about it? Do you want to try together?" try."
Fan Lunting didn't refuse like before without even thinking about it. He actually lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal. The others looked at each other. Dear ones, let go of idols now? Ryan silently lit the wax for his cousin Di in his heart, this is the end of "missing", and it will be too late to regret later. The atmosphere was silent for a moment, but it was Derrick who was responsible for enlivening the atmosphere, and looked at Harriet with a mocking smile, "There are so many types you like."
When I met Ryan for the first time, I said that Ryan was my favorite type, and now I said to Fan Lunting, Harriet is a big carrot!
Harriet sighed, "My hobbies are wider. Once upon a time, you were my type."
"No, two Y's have no future together."
Harriet leaned over to Derrick's side, "But we're a man and a woman, so it's fine."
Derrick, who was not upright, sternly refused, "No, I'm married."
Harriet was just joking, and when she heard Derrick say that she was married, she felt a little disappointed. She shook her head and didn't want to make any messes. She looked up at Ryan, who was busy with his hands on the coffee table. In the final analysis, Ryan was still reliable.
In the middle of the modular sofa is a large coffee table with a quartz stone surface. Two people can lie side by side. After the touch is turned on, a snowflake-like holographic picture is projected in the air.
Ryan raised his hand, opened the personal terminal and operated it, waved his hand, the data inside entered the light screen, and the ground conditions of Cranberries appeared in it, "My detectors work well, most of them have passed the data, It is possible to build a topographic map on Cranberry Planet." Swipe away the topographic map of the planet's surface and replace it with most of the underground city, "This is the topographic map of the underground city on the surface, one main road, three fork roads, and the terrain conditions It's clear at a glance."
"Where's the hole that went out?" Jack, who was sitting by the side, stretched out his hand and dragged the holographic topographical map, doing quick memory.
"That part is missing," Lane said.
"There is the key to our going out." Derrick put away his playful expression, squatted next to the coffee table and said.
Ryan nodded, "Find an opportunity to get closer to the exit and put some detectors in. There is no way to know what's going on inside." There are many forks in the tunnel, and if you are not careful, you will get lost inside. Maybe one step out will be the lava under the abyss .
Harriet, "Hey, guys, why are you all thinking in the wrong direction, maybe we can easily complete the task and leave safely without causing any disturbance."
"Of course it's the best." Ryan hoped that would be the case, completing the task smoothly.
Their task is to contact the pirates who may come from the Starscream stronghold, and get the specific coordinates of the stronghold from the opponent. The informant placed by the Legion of Glory conveyed the news that this group of people came out to purchase supplies and weapons, and one of the possible purchase locations is the Cranberry. As a soldier, Fan Lunting is talented in finding people and things.
Fan Lunting turned on his personal terminal and shared the image of the person he drew based on the characteristics described by the informant on the light screen. He said: "The specific targets are three people, women, red hair, hooked nose, cautious; young men , over twenty years old, with an ordinary appearance, the only characteristic is that his eyes are full of peach blossoms, and he has a pair of standard peach blossom eyes; a middle-aged male, with a short cut, and a scar on the pinna of his left ear, which should make his ears look different from normal people. The ratio looks deformed, and it is also the most recognizable among this group of people. I drew a rough picture based on the description of the informant, and there must be deviations from the real person, and I suspect that they will camouflage, and it will be more troublesome to find someone.”
"There is another possibility, everyone, don't forget..." Ryan looked at the crowd helplessly, "Maybe we were busy, and the other party didn't come to Cranberries at all."
With a probability of more than 30%, they are just taking a gamble.
Instead of wasting time in the room, everyone discussed the action strategy and then left the room to investigate in different areas.
Of course, everyone's dress is very serious, definitely not the cool dress nowadays, they are wearing pants! The thin shirt and trousers show that you can do well in the dungeon, showing restraint and lust.
The streets are narrow, and there are no shops selling snacks. The stalls are all on both sides of the street, making the narrow streets even more crowded, and it is inevitable to have physical contact with people when walking in it. Ryan felt that his butt and chest were being touched from time to time, whether it was intentional or not, he endured it!
The dungeon is too hot, it's just a sauna, Ryan saw an ice cream shop passing by, "Vanilla chocolate ice cream, a silver coin."
Ryan flicked out the coin in his hand, the vendor caught it, and said with a smile: "My ice cream here is all handmade, you can sprinkle some nuts on the surface, what do customers want?"
"Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed pistachios." Ryan ordered according to his preference.
"Okay, customer, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." The hawker took out the ice cream from the freezer, wrapped it in flowing chocolate, sprinkled with chopped nuts and dried fruit, and moved skillfully. If you ignore her mechanical arm and the scars on her face , that looks like an ordinary peddler, not a retired pirate.
Ryan, who was waiting, chatted with the shopkeeper, and after talking a few words back and forth, he asked: "Can outsiders be seen at a glance?"
The peddler laughed twice, touching the scar on his face, looking a little hideous, "You are an outsider, and you are still a newcomer."
"Because you wear a lot?"
"No, no, because of the eyes."
Ryan was curious, "Why?"
"The eyes that come here often are bold, dare to look casually, and can strip people naked. Cranberry is a free country, without any restrictions." Squeezing his eyes, the vendor said: "You can be happy as you like, and ah, you can dress as you like." There are too many, it makes people feel more palatable, hehe." She wanted to ask this guest how much it cost for one night, and seeing this guest's figure, it must be enough.
Ryan, "..." Hehe!
Ryan controlled his facial expression and made a look of surprise, "So that's it. I fought for the opportunity to come here with the boss. It's really the right time to gain insight."
"Haha, as long as you let go, you can experience the supreme ecstasy in Cranberries. Have you seen the red house in the middle?"
"The smallest one?" I saw it on the way here. It is small and short, but occupies the center of the entire town. I expected that it must be unusual, so I handed it over to scout Fan Lunting to investigate.
Ryan asked curiously, and just scratched the peddler's "itchy meat". He liked the way outsiders had never seen the world. When the peddler was happy, he put two fresh raspberries on the ice cream that Ryan asked for. The Cranberry Planet is quite expensive, and she is asking Ryan for nothing, "There is a paradise in the little red house, and you are guaranteed to be happier than going to heaven."
"Have you been to heaven?"
The peddler took away the raspberries silently, "Hehe, I will go to the little red house to be happy when I have saved enough money." I really don't know how to chat, please eat some fruit, please don't invite me! "Unfortunately, only one type of man can go in there."
Ryan took the ordinary vanilla chocolate ice cream. He didn't need to ask further, he knew who that "a kind of man" was for people's entertainment.
Once again feeling the sight of being spied on, Ryan looked over calmly and saw an acquaintance, an "adventurer" or a wild pirate disguised as a stage fright violinist, and he bought a barrel of fuel from Ryan at a high price.
Bandner didn't dodge. He took a deep look at Ryan and then turned around. Ryan followed decisively. Behind Ryan, the peddler muttered, "Why are you leaving? I'm going to give him two raspberries." See Looking at the raspberry in her hand, she is a retired pirate with professional ethics. If she can't put the used fruit back, she simply eats it herself. The solution is perfect. The retired pirate squinted, the fresh fruit is really delicious.
Ryan ate the ice cream in twos and threes, including the ice cream stick made of corn extract, dodged the crowd sideways, and quietly sneaked into a fork in the road. The topographic map memorized in his brain began to correspond to the coordinates, and he determined his position. Full map. The third-generation detectors still have a big fatal flaw. Their lifespan is too short for them to thoroughly explore the underground city. They stop at the fork in the road, but they don’t know what the end of the fork is.
The trail in the fork completely lacks the hustle and bustle, the overcrowding, the extravagance and love of the main street, and only has darkness and heat, as if it ends in scarlet magma. There was a turn ahead, and Ryan took out a pen in his pocket without any hesitation, raised it to aim, and the red dot fired by the "pen" landed on the opponent's eyebrow, Bandner looked at Ryan timidly, as if It was the violinist who was bullied by the boss in the small band, "Help me."
Ryan chuckled, "Take your hand off the weapon, and I can still save you."
"Anyway, there is a chance, don't be so ruthless." Bandena put away his disguise, his whole aura changed, confident and flamboyant, with anxiety and embarrassment between his brows, like a wild beast trapped in an iron cage, restless and strong Self calm.
"Tell me your purpose, or you will stay in Cranberry forever." Ryan asked straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
Bandner raised his eyebrows, "You're too straightforward, let me say a few words. Your proposal is really vicious, and I accept the threat. How about this, how about putting down your weapon before you speak properly?"
Ryan chuckled, "Together?"
"Together." Bandena nodded
Ryan put down the "pen" but saw the other party raised a pistol, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, "The child who is not good will be beaten." As soon as the words fell, Ryan started to move, so fast that ordinary people's eyes could barely see it. I couldn't keep up, and when all the dust settled, Bandner fell to the ground clutching his stomach, howling in pain. Ryan said lightly, "As I said, we put down our weapons together."
Bandena, who fell to the ground, begged for mercy in pain, "I'm sorry, I was just joking."
"This joke is not fun. Tell me, what is the purpose of attracting me here?"
Bandena felt that the misplaced internal organs were gradually returning, and the pain was already bearable, "I really came to ask for help. I read the news about Belander and knew that you are very powerful. I was overjoyed to see you appear in the Cranberry A friend of mine was caught in that damn red house, and I want to rescue him. He was injured when he was young, and his ears were not working well. Afterwards, he was a bit unresponsive, if he entered the red house and his body developed strange abilities, I would really feel sorry for him."
"Scar?" Ryan's heart moved, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? "In terms of ears, your friend has a short cut. You should have a female companion with a hooked nose, isn't it?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Bandena raised his head abruptly, his thoughts turned all over for a moment, and he finally decided to be puzzled to the end.
It's really such a coincidence! Ryan looked helplessly at the young man who was beaten to the ground by him, "Where's your peach blossom eyes?"
"It doesn't look good. The plastic surgery is done." Bandner rolled his eyes, and decided to tell the truth under Ryan's gaze.
"You are the pirate of Starscream!" Ryan moved his palm slightly, as long as he wanted to, he could strangle Bandner's neck in an instant, and ended up losing his life.
Bandner vehemently denied it, "How is it possible, we are good people." Under Ryan's indifferent eyes, Bandner's voice quieted down, and he said dully: "We are just poor people controlled by pirates, the main force of Starscream. Our strength has been completely lost in the last encirclement and suppression of the Legion of Glory, and now we have a chance to breathe and live the life we like. We don't want to be pirates, we just follow the will of Emperor Qin Feng to farm well and be a farmer .”
Ryan: "?" What does this have to do with him? Why is there something about him among the pirates
Bandner is a casual person who can pretend and confess. If he says it, there is nothing to hide. After all, it is the truth. "My ancestor was a subordinate of Emperor Qin Feng. He was responsible for sneaking into the pirates as an undercover agent. Because the emperor never contacted my ancestor to terminate the mission, my ancestor has been working in the pirate. The pirate gang has also changed its name several times. From the skeleton to the victory rose to the current Starscream, our family has become bigger and bigger in the pirate logistics, and now it has completely changed the pirate stronghold. To be precise, it is no longer a pirate stronghold, but obeys Emperor Qin Feng's "freedom, Good citizens with the will of equality and friendliness, we always want to be born aboveboard, not to be black households, and want personal terminals to be able to access the star network, the game is fun. Want to go to university, want to travel to other star regions. "
Ryan was at a loss for a moment. He seemed to have made this order hundreds of years ago, because the war with the Zerg was imminent, and he didn't want to have problems within humans, so he suppressed pirates, etc., but later he blew himself up to death in the War of Dawn, "split He doesn't know how the mission of "Pirates" is progressing. He didn't expect that hundreds of years later, this mission is still being carried out silently... If what Bandner said is true, he will verify the authenticity.
"What are you doing with the Cranberries?" Ryan asked.
Bandner said: "Unfortunately, we didn't want to come to the Cranberry, but we encountered remnants of the Starscream on the way, and after getting rid of them, we ran out of fuel, so we had to divert to the nearest pirate gathering point. We have no identity It proves that black households can only purchase resources in pirate gathering places. We need weapons to protect the planet and books to understand the outside world. Damn, I didn’t expect the female pirates of Cranberry to have such a strong taste. That inch-cut man! Are you angry?"
Lane said, “…sort of.”
