Chapter 33: Jump in the sea of stars

Views:

Carlos Black is a well-known wandering leader in the alpha and beta sectors. If it were a hundred years ago, his fame would not be limited to these two sectors, but would have been even more prosperous. He has dealt with government armies on various planets, exchanged fire, and dealt, sometimes collaborating, sometimes adversary.

He roams between planets, neither too close nor too far away from anyone, always maintaining the belief that a qualified wanderer leader should have - freedom first, no bondage, and... nothing is force. cannot be resolved.

He once had an extremely luxurious spaceship, which was obtained from the White Eagle Army of Tianying Gamma through a life-and-death transaction. It became his favorite thing for a time—the facilities inside were perfect like a city, and the system intelligence level was comparable to the famous exoplanet spaceship of Skyhawk Gamma—the space prison.

He even gave the spaceship a name - Bird of Paradise, a symbol of freedom and eternity.

But that spaceship was finally destroyed in the interstellar chaos of the century, destroyed by the artillery fire of the City of Silver, together with the nearly 10,000 aircraft on the ship that did not have time to evacuate...

With a bang, Peng turned into a cluster of light among the sea of stars.

So from now on, he acted with an additional rule—absolutely never have any cooperation with the City of Silver.

This makes life difficult. After all, the City of Silver is indeed a very rich collaborator to a certain extent, and is extremely fond of mixing. If the line of cooperation with it is not cut off, Carlos Black and his The children of God will never have to worry about not being able to live.

But Carlos persisted.

So in the past few decades, they have been in short supply from time to time, and they have to find some places along the road to find something that can be used.

When Carlos passed the edge of the α star sector three months ago, he received the news of the explosion of the Skyhawk γ star.

As a wanderer, wandering in space all the year round, wandering in various star areas, and living in no fixed place, you must have some advantages. The most basic point is that news comes quickly.

Because of the chaos of the century, the exchanges between the planets fell into the Cold War period. On the one hand, they were trying to obtain the dynamics of other stars, and on the other hand, they were trying their best to ensure that the dynamics of this star would not be known to other stars. This decades-long tug-of-war between secrecy and theft of information has only cheapened wanderers who don't seem to be a threat.

For a while, homeless people made a fortune just by reselling information.

But what surprised Carlos was that the explosion of Tianying Gamma was not the same as the usual explosion. Instead of collapsing and destroying, it was forcibly divided into countless small fragments and scattered in the vast space.

If he hadn't brought the team and happened to encounter two fragments, he probably wouldn't have believed that there was such a way of bombing.

This is definitely not a natural occurrence of the planet, it must have been interfered by some kind of man-made force.

But what surprised him even more was that when he encountered the debris, there was no hint on the star map in the aircraft cabin. Even if the shard was in front of him, visible to the naked eye, the place on the star map was still empty.

It's just a ghost.

However, when Carlos landed on the debris with a large number of aircraft, his mood became light again, because there were houses, shops, and various supplies for him to fish on the debris. He also saw crystal coffin-like things inside and outside the house. According to the information he had obtained, this thing was called a frozen capsule. life-saving cabin.

Some of his subordinates tried to move the two frozen capsules, but they didn't know if there was some hidden mechanism. In short, they couldn't open them from the outside for more than two hours, so they had to give up.

In any case, their trip was quite rewarding.

Once you taste the sweetness, you will want to taste it a second time.

As soon as Carlos Black and his 100-man squad left that shard, he started thinking about the next shard.

It's just that no matter how many signal search methods he changes, those fragments are like a protective film invisibility cover, and they can't find the location.

But fortunately, his luck was amazing. In less than half a month, he encountered the fragment in front of him again.

The previous fragment should be the edge of the city, and this one belongs to the wasteland of deep mountains and old forests.

When he first landed, he still had a little regret, but soon he discovered the fortress complex in the center of the wasteland. The fortress was familiar to him, and he had seen this place when he had a transaction with Tianying Gamma.

"This is their largest super base station, called Fort Barney. Don't count on daily supplies, but there are better things here. Maybe you can find the location of other debris here! Old boys, get excited! ' Carlos Blake bit his cigarette and clapped his palm.

In the internal channel where the aircraft were connected to each other, there was a mess of cheers and ghosts: "I bet I can find another location, they can't even block their own people, how can they live!"

"Go go! I can't wait!"

"Do him a big vote!"

"Hello? Hello? Boss! Remember to bring your weapons. When we swept over from the side just now, we swept to a few rooms. Maybe there are people here, and they are not lying in those frozen coffins, they are awake! "

"Did you hear that?! Put on your weapons!" Carlos Black shouted again at the channel, he picked up the single person carrying the particle cannon at his feet, and opened the hatch of the aircraft.

Even when he heard that there might be people awake here, he was still in a surprisingly good mood.

The last thing they are afraid of is the exchange of fire. The wanderers can float in space for so many years, not just with a mouth.

"If there's nowhere to go, I'll still have a full cabin of cannon fire and a beating heart..." Carlos flicked the soot and even hummed the song circulated among the wanderers as he stood by the cabin door and was about to jump down.

The voices of others came from the communicator: "Boss, everything is ready."

"Old rule, drunkards, you take forty two to go around the edge of the fortress, and Scar, you take twenty to guard the aircraft, and the others follow me!" Carlos bit the cigarette into his mouth again, squinting. Picking up the ion barrel, "Prepare—"

Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard a slight movement.

Carlos raised his hand: "Wait!"

He tilted his ear and tilted his head to distinguish it, and the sound was like a dozen mosquitoes flying around him in the distance. He listened for two seconds, then frowned and swept around again, just as he was about to speak, he heard the hoarse voice of the drunkard coming from the communicator: "Boss! This fortress is not right! I saw that the corner and roof closest to me were full of Something is moving!"

The drunkard and Knife Scar had served him as his deputy for a hundred years. They were both experienced and experienced. Dare to fight, but also cautious.

"I saw it too!" Scar said, "That's... me—grass! That's an electric cannon tube, right?!"

There are more than 4,600 monitoring terminals in the huge and complex fortress of Fort Barney. Each monitoring terminal has a pocket gun muzzle. There are metal wires extending around the muzzle, like the top of the building. lightning rod.

When this gun barrel launches an attack, it will also bring out an electric current, and it will stick out its roots like artificial lightning, and the attack range can reach nearly 100 meters.

At this moment, in the visible and invisible corners of Carlos' wandering team, more than 4,600 electric gun barrels received remote control commands at the same time, and reversed their direction in the blink of an eye. honeycomb.

Carlos Black seemed to understand the other party's intention. Before he could even spit out the cigarette, he roared: "Go back to the cabin!!!"

But it's too late...

On the hillside in the distance, Sae Yang stretched out his finger and tapped on Chu Si's holographic screen.

boom-

More than 4,600 electric cannon tubes fired instantly, all the grand fires were directed towards the center, and they collided into a fireworks bright enough to illuminate the entire star district. The electric current emanating from the metal wires on the edge of the gun barrel is like the branches protruding from all directions, intertwined and connected together, forming a huge net, which covers the entire stray team and the aircraft.

The scene was too splendid and too shocking, it was simply a magnificent and grand beauty.

Several people on the hillside were stunned, and they opened their mouths and sighed silently at the magnificent scene.

Sae Young tilted his head towards Barneysburg and asked him, "Does it look good, sir?"

Chu Si said dryly: "It's amazing."

"Perfunctory." Sae Yang sneered.

Chus: "..."

He couldn't help but glanced behind Sae Yang's waist.

Sae stepped aside and said with a half-smile, "What are you doing, being a hooligan in public? I didn't see that the officer still had such a hobby."

Chu Si frowned: "The eye of the sky was pulled out by you, how did you control it remotely?"

In the base, the remote control can be done through the sky eye. After the sky eye is pulled out, it stands to reason that he can only look at the pre-adjusted star map on the holographic screen to monitor the position of the wanderer. It is impossible to control the specific facilities of Fort Barney, let alone create such a big battle.

Sae Young shrugged and boasted shamelessly: "While you were walking around with bags without image, I calmly entered another program in the equipment room to connect all the monitoring equipment in Fort Barney."

Chus: "..."

He looked at Sae Yang with a complicated expression for a long time, and stretched out his hand unceremoniously, "Come back."

Sae squinted at his open palm: "What?"

Chu Si said angrily: "Earplugs, does the calm Mr. Yang want to default on his debt?"

Sae raised his eyebrows, took off the earplugs, and was about to stretch them directly to Chu Si's ear, but Chu Si raised his hand and stopped him halfway.

Sae didn't insist, he threw the earplugs into Chu Si's hands, watched him put them into the ear sockets, and then ignored other people. He lifted his feet and walked down the slope, walking towards Barney The overwhelming power grid of the fort walked away.

Chu Si looked at his back for a while, raised his hand and gestured at the others: "Don't be stupid, go."

Carlos Black felt that it was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a humiliating scene. He had just walked back to the aircraft and was pulling the handle to close the hatch when the huge net fell down, flashing blue and white. The dazzling light almost blinded him temporarily.

Before he could adapt to the light, he felt a tingling electric current rushing from his fingers to his whole body, and the nerves around his body seemed to be beaten with a whip, and a crackling sound entered his brain—

He, Carlos Black, the famous wandering leader of the α and β star regions, even brought 137 subordinates, and could not even get out of the hatch, he was nailed to the spot by the electric current and turned into a group of madmen with white eyes. It's about to fall out.

Just when he felt that he might as well be hanged, he vaguely heard a lazy voice and greeted, "Yo, isn't this the former king of the wanderers, the appearance is quite ingenious."

"..." No matter who the grandson of the bastard is, Carlos wants to hold the other party and pull out the oxygen to jump into the sea of stars together. return! At! all!
