Chapter 538 The Empty Secret (I)

"Hey, you're not really going to make a deal with him, are you? I don't think that guy is a good bird, and if we help him get some antimatter, he turns around and rakes us up, and ties us both up and gives them to the zodiac, and he kills two birds with one stone, and we both are sold and we count the money. ”

At this time, Tom and Lin Feng were sitting on the landing boat, along with several mercenaries with big shoulders and round waists and an officer in yellow uniform. His name was Garnett, and he looked to be about forty, but before he got on the boat, he introduced himself as a genetic product and had a lifespan of three hundred years, so in that respect, he was probably one hundred and twenty years old.

"All right, girls," said the uniformed officer, in his last speech before the airship landed, "and now you are faced with a beast guarding an endless treasure that will take a piece the size of a fingernail from its mouth, and you will have nothing to eat and drink in your life." His words clearly worked for the better, and everyone in the room was eager to try it. Of course, they didn't know what a piece the size of a fingernail was just like this, and they were still thinking in their hearts that maybe they could get a few more pieces, so they wouldn't have to worry about it in the next life, but then the words of the subdued official hit him hard: "However, benefits always come with risks, and more than 2,000 people have been devoured by monsters on six cargo ships this month, so it's good to do it yourself." ”

Hearing his words, Tom muttered, "I said, I think we are too rash in this matter, I always feel that there is a conspiracy." ”

Lin Feng looked at Tom, feeling the airship hovering in the air, the surface suffering from the friction of the planet's atmosphere, and the sparks that emerged could be seen from the porthole, "We've been in a conspiracy, haven't we?"

"That being said, but if you think about it, that self-proclaimed apostle will surely be sent by the 'Empress', who deliberately lured you to that hollow to leave, just to send you to your death. ”

"I know that. ”

"And you're going?"

"We have the handle in his hands. ”

"I know, isn't it Jiang Lihua and Lu Xiaoyu? But have you thought about it," Tom leaned over to him, "If she keeps holding on to your handle, will it be possible that you will be suppressed by her forever and do anything according to her orders?"

Of course, Lin Feng himself knew very well: "That's why we need that pass even more." ”

", with our skills, just grab it. ”

"But there is no authorization, and snatching it is equivalent to a piece of waste paper. ”

"Damn, that is, there is no other way but to send him to death?"

Lin Feng got up and followed the others out of the airship. The surface environment of this planet is similar to that of Earth, except that the gravity is slightly smaller, and it is a little uncomfortable to walk. However, Lin Feng is a capable person, and he has mastered the key to walking in a short time. The group staggered into a bar and ordered their own food. The uniformed officer who led the team walked over to the bar, asked the waiter for something, gave him a tip, and frowned slightly.

Through his vocal ability, Lin Feng heard the uniformed officer ask the waiter about the empty situation, and the waiter told him that two days ago, an expedition had just been wiped out. The uniformed officer drank all the wine in his glass and pulled a woman upstairs.

"It's not good!" said Tom, throwing the fried pork chop into his mouth and munching on it, "Look at the people here, all of them are sad." ”

Lin Feng naturally sensed the atmosphere in the bar, and felt enveloped by a kind of frustration as soon as he entered the door, but the bar waiter was quite comfortable, as if the mood of the customers had not affected him at all. But if you think about it, no matter how many people die anyway, it won't affect his business, as long as that hole exists for a day, people will continue to come to hunt for treasure, and his bar business will continue forever.

Lin Feng looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to him, walked to the bar, and asked for a glass of boiled water. The waiter was surprised for a moment and handed him a glass of water, the water looked a little impurities, but Lin Feng didn't really want to drink water. He pulled out a photograph and handed it to the waiter, handing over a crumpled bill, the common currency of the Federation.

The waiter lifted his gaze from the wine glass that was spinning in his hands, looked at Lin Feng, put away the banknote, and glanced at the photo.

"Who is this?"

"Isn't this your owner? Don't you know?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "I only said a few words. ”

The waiter continued to wipe the glass, "What do you want to ask?"

"Who is he?"

The waiter said without thinking: "His name is Rochelle Woolf, and he is a man from Biertain, a galaxy called Proxima Centauri on the edge of the Milky Way, and he is a natural businessman. ”

Lin Feng knew that Proxima Centauri was only four light-years away from his home solar system, but it had already been destroyed along with the solar system in the experiment of the Virgo galaxy.

Lin Feng put away the photo and asked again, "What's the matter with that empty hole?"

"Who knows?" said the waiter, nonchalantly, "and suddenly it appeared, like a vacuum cleaner, constantly absorbing everything around it, you know? But, oddly enough, at the edge of the hole, antimatter escapes. ”

"Bait. ”

The waiter placed the cups on the inside of the bar in turn and nodded: "Yes, the reason is very simple, the void absorbs the surrounding substances, releases a little sweetness, and then attracts more people and things to go." However, in the face of interests, no matter how smart people are, they will be dizzy. ”

At this time, the uniformed officer came down from the upper floor, he had some beads of sweat on his forehead, his face was red, he went downstairs, he sorted out his clothes, and then gathered everyone, "Girls, let's go." ”

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, grabbed their things, and walked out of the bar. Under the leadership of the uniformed officials, Lin Feng and the others re-boarded a larger cargo ship. The name of the cargo ship is "No Return", which is very unlucky to look at this name. The hull of the No Return is quite massive, equivalent to four or five standard football fields.

The people boarded the boat one by one, and were stopped when it was Tom's turn.

"Hey, I'm with them. Tom explained.

The guard glanced at Tom with disdain and said coldly: "The tradition of no return, people and dogs in the Scorpio galaxy are not allowed to get on board. ”

After the guard said this, the other people who boarded the boat also stopped, ready to watch the excitement. Tom laughed twice, two flames suddenly rose in the palm of his hand, and then glared at the guard and asked, "Really?"

The guard didn't expect that the brown-haired guy in front of him turned out to be a fire-based ability, and immediately remembered those rumors about Scorpios, it is said that every Scorpio is a wizard, and today I really saw it. The guard swallowed and said inwardly, "Forget it, for the sake of, uh, for Lord Woolf's sake." ”

Tom put away the fire and boarded the boat as everyone watched, and the others dispersed without seeing the excitement they had expected.

The No Return took off an hour later, just in the evening of the planet. The two suns set in turn from the east, and as the ship took off, the dazzling light of the two suns disappeared below the horizon. After flying for three hours into the dark skies, the captain informed the crew that it had arrived at its destination.

At this moment, the No Return is assembled on the Ship of No Return, consisting of more than 300 mercenaries, thieves, vagrants and other chaotic people, who belong to Woolf and two other big merchants, who are about to land on the only remaining planet in the Amird system at the same time. This planet is strange in that its autobiographical and orbital cycles coincide, that is, it always has one side towards Amild's star. Because of the proximity of the star on which it stands, the side facing the star is scorched by Amird, showing a state of melting, and the surface is churning with a sea of magma. On the other hand, because it does not get the light of the stars, it is in a state of ice and snow.

The ship of no return is about to land in the snow and ice.

"Alright, all disembark. ”

More than 300 people divided into three groups and walked out from the three directions of the spacecraft. These three groups are the mercenary teams of the three merchants who temporarily resided in this operation. Lin Feng and Tom followed the uniformed officer to disembark from the port side of the spaceship, and the ice and snow on their faces lifted the spirits of the big guy.

The uniformed officer pointed to the red half of the sky in the distance and said, "We're going to the junction with the lava ocean, and we'll be there in about three days." After that, wait for two days, and at dawn on the fifth day, the planet will orbit closer to the hole, and then, there will be antimatter that will be gravitationally pulled towards the planet, and we will capture it there. ”

"Wait!" said one of the bespectacled guys in the team, "If antimatter crashes into the planet, won't it cause a nuclear explosion?"

"Stupid, do you think you have to take it with your hands?" scolded the uniformed officer, "Before the antimatter enters the atmosphere, it will encounter the solar wind of the stars and annihilate the particles." ”

"And how do we catch antimatter?" asked Tom.

The uniformed officer looked at Tom: "When the time comes, the No Return will be moored nearby, with professional mining tools." ”

"Huh?" The big guy suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that there was no need for them to land on this damn planet at all, that is, in addition to grabbing antimatter, they had another unspecified mission.

The uniformed officer saw the confusion in the big guy's heart, "That's right, there is another mission, I was going to talk about it at the scene, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now." ”

The uniformed officer looked left and right, and saw that the other two teams had left, approaching the horizon in the other two directions, and then turned his head and lowered his voice and said to the crowd: "Some time ago, we received news that we are over there," he said, pointing to the horizon red by the fire of hell, "There is a huge beast descending from the sky, suspected to be an unknown creature that fell from the hollow." It may have something to do with antimatter, so let's take a look. ”
