…………………… 262. Baby ........................

But he said that the Black Tower was an orphan who was picked up from the slums by the redbeard pirates, and that he was not called by this name, but because he was black and strong, and looked like a black iron tower from a distance. As a result, almost everyone in the Red Spider Pirates called him the Black Tower, and over time, even he couldn't remember his original name.

Although the appearance is rough, the heart is extremely detailed, this is Akiji's impression of the Black Tower. In her previous life, Heita, as one of the two first mates who assisted her, helped Qiu Ci solve trouble.

Later, the alliance issued a clean-up order to the interstellar pirates, and Lin Feng, as the executor, led the alliance's cruising fleet to carry out a harsh and cruel siege of the interstellar pirates as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. As the most powerful underworld force among the interstellar pirates, the Red Spider Pirate Fleet has naturally been given priority to "care".

Qiu Ci couldn't, and after discussing with Black Tower and Locke, he asked Black Tower to lead the thirty-five people with the strongest skills and the most clever brains among the pirates to assassinate Lin Feng. This time, the Black Tower never showed up again, everyone knew that their operation failed, and Qiu Ci was forced to lead the entire fleet to fight and flee, sailing in the stars for three years, and finally did not escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

Heita scratched the short, thick black hair on her scalp with her hand, and stared at the Autumn Sisters and Dardania opposite with puffed eyes, thinking about it in her head, and still couldn't figure out when Captain Redbeard had a relationship with these two little girls?

But looking at Qiu Ci with a relaxed face and calm eyes, a trace of complicated emotions that he couldn't understand occasionally flashed in those black and white eyes, and with his intuition of licking blood at the knife edge for many years, he thought that this girl had no malicious intent.

Qiu Ci picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip, and looked up at him. The reason she gave him was that because of the interference of space magnetic radiation, the route of the autopilot was deviated, and he unknowingly turned into the Cancer field. And because there are spatial cracks everywhere in this area, in order to avoid dangerous space junk and dangerous space cracks, I somehow came here. When I saw the Black Tower on the screen just now, it looked a little familiar at first glance, but after a closer look, I recognized it as the person named the Black Tower in a photo that Captain Redbeard had shown her.

Heita's face was as black as carbon, and he didn't believe her at all, thinking that if what she said was true, why did the captain carry his picture with him? He's not a? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, and I shuddered involuntarily.

But he recognized Qiu Ci's identity, if he wanted to eat the bowl of pirate rice, first of all, he was deaf and well-informed, which people were fat sheep and which people were profitable, and these stepping on points must be done in place.

Qiu Shi's fame spread to all the planets of the Alliance more than two years ago, and who wouldn't know about her? What's more, he remembered that about three years ago, several of their interstellar pirates also teamed up to repel the fleets infiltrated by the Empire and save the convoy directly under the Alliance, and that convoy was guarding Qiu Ci.

But it was precisely because he knew her identity that Heita was annoyed and picked her scalp, what should he do with her?

Kill her? It's not good, it's not good, this girl has a sensitive identity, she is a member of the military department, and she has been killed by William. Marshal George praised her as the little princess of the Union soldiers, and killing her was tantamount to directly offending the Union military department. Unless he wanted the Scarlet Spider Pirate fleet to be destroyed, he couldn't do it.

Let her go? That's even more impossible. The girl already knew the location of the base of the Red Spider Pirate Fleet, let her go, and it wouldn't be long before it would be surrounded by the Alliance's fleet, and the final result would still be that the Red Spider Pirate Fleet would disappear forever.

So leave her behind?

No, no, no, still no. Leaving her down is equivalent to imprisoning her, with her identity, suddenly disappearing for no reason, it will inevitably alarm others in a few days, and then the alliance military fleet will definitely explore near her disappearance, then the location of the base will be **** sooner or later, and the result of **** is that the Red Spider Pirate fleet will become a thing of the past from now on, and there will be no future.

After thinking about it, the Black Tower couldn't find a suitable way to deal with it, and the final result of all the methods was the same end, which was the destruction of the Red Spider pirate fleet.

Is it going to kill my Red Spider Pirate! Heita got up in annoyance, staring at Qiu Ci with bull's eyes, as if she was a broom star, and as if she was a hot potato, and unfortunately, this potato was in his hand at this time.

Heita is restless, how can he encounter this kind of at this time, what should he do.

Last year's star show, without warning, suddenly the whole world was dark, and then thunder rolled in, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions...... Wait for the disaster to come as if it had been agreed. But this is not a desperate disaster, what makes people desperate is that the sky suddenly darkened, and a cloud of black shadows mixed with terrifying sounds roared towards the ground, smashing heavily on the earth's crust like a black cloud pressing down.

In just a few moments, a living star inhabited by hundreds of millions of people collapsed, and all life on the planet was reduced to dust. There are more than 300 inhabiting stars in the Cancer Star Field, most of which have been destroyed by this unprecedented star flare, and less than one in 10,000 survives.

Fortunately, the Lost Star Domain where the Red Spider Pirate Fleet is located has not been damaged too much, especially the planet where the base is located is unharmed. This is a lost star field, and even the catastrophe seems to have forgotten this place.

Unfortunately, at that time, the captain and Locke were leading the fleet through the space passage into the Lost Star Field, and the entire invisible space trembled heavily, making people seem to feel that the air was completely torn apart, and the rift was still expanding.

The fleet was caught off guard, and in an instant, more than a dozen battleships were torn apart by invisible cracks, and only one battleship escaped by chance under the cover of other warships, and that was the command ship where Locke was.

Qiu Ci heard Heita say this, and her heart was secretly strange, she remembered that when the red-bearded father told her this story in her previous life, he clearly said that he stayed at the base at that time, and when the star shine happened, most of the base buildings and facilities were destroyed when the earth's crust moved. And there were spatial cracks everywhere around him, and he only had time to board a small battleship before he was sucked into a huge crack that was infinitely exaggerated in the air.

Why is this life different? It was Uncle Blacktower who stayed behind, and the planet where the base was located was not destroyed, but the fleet in space was damaged.

However, when she heard that the command ship had escaped, half of the stone in her heart suddenly fell. The command ship is also the leader ship, and Dad didn't drive the spaceship to travel, so he was naturally in the command ship.

Qiu Ci is secretly happy, this life is different from the previous life, at least Dad escaped this catastrophe, and she no longer has to worry about whether Dad will be swept away by the rift of time and space like in the previous life, and whether he can come back safe and sound.

"The captain is not in the command ship!" Locke clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on the table.

"Huh?" Qiu Ci looked at him puzzled, and a trace of uneasiness swelled in his heart.

"The captain was not in the command ship, only Locke was, and he said that when the incident arose, Captain Redbeard ordered everyone to immediately prepare to leave the badly damaged battleship in the escape ship, and told Locke to leave immediately, while he himself stayed in front of the console." Blacktower glanced at her, puzzled by the concern in her eyes.

He paused and continued: "Locke persuaded him to go, saying that the captain must be the last to leave the battleship. Locke then glanced at the others behind him, and they grabbed the captain by the hand, and then carried him to the emergency start-up room, where he was placed on an escape ship and let the captain fly towards the base. ”

"And then?" Qiu Ci hurriedly asked.

"Later, the other warships and command ships used their hulls to block most of the cracks for the captain's escape ship, and almost wiped them out, but in the end, the command ship escaped alone."

"What about Captain Redbeard?" Qiu Ci stabilized his emotions and asked.

"It's gone." Heita slapped his palm on the table and said loudly: "For most of the past six months, we have been looking for the whereabouts of the captain in this star field every day, and even the abandoned space jump point we have searched for countless times. The bodies of the other brothers who were killed were found, and even one and a half feet could be found, but the captain alone ......"

In fact, it was not only Captain Redbeard who was missing, after all, the corpses that could be found were only a few, and they were still mutilated. Space cracks vary in size, the small ones are only torn apart, and the big ones are devoured, and people are so small and fragile in the face of interstellar disasters.

Qiu Ci closed his eyes, and his father was still swept away in the end.

She has always had a fluke mentality in her heart, thinking that this life may be different from the previous life, and maybe her father will not be swept away by the rift in time and space.

While it is true that the base of the Red Spider Pirate Fleet has not been severely damaged, Captain Redbeard's fate is still unknown.

Qiu Ci's heart was flustered, but his face was not revealed, Heita had been looking at her vigilantly, and she could feel his suspicion of her. However, because this was in the Red Spider Pirate Base, there were only three of them with Akiba Qing and Dardania, and they had no ability to resist, so Blacktower agreed to the landing of the Starship and allowed her to sit here.

"Where's Uncle Locke?" After a while, Qiu Zi asked again.

Heita sighed and said in a sullen voice: "Locke led someone to drive the battleship out to find the captain, since the captain's accident, Locke feels that he has hurt the captain." If he hadn't had the captain kidnap and take him to the emergency start room, the captain would have been fine. He felt guilty in his heart, so for most of the past six months, he would only come back when the battleship needed to replenish energy. ”

After speaking, he looked at Qiu Ci with strange eyes and said, "So you said that the captain and Locke knew you, but no one can prove it to you at this time." ”

At this point, Qiu Ci sighed in his heart, and only hoped that Captain Redbeard was really swept away by the space-time rift like in his previous life, instead of being cut into countless tiny dust by the fine spatial rift. Then maybe in a few years, he will swear with the crimson beard on his mouth, and suddenly appear in the starry sky of the alliance, scaring everyone.

She understood what Herita meant, and knew that he was very suspicious of her, so she could only shake her head helplessly. If she was herself, she didn't believe what she had just said, how could the base of the Red Spider Pirates be accidentally run in, if this is the case, where can we talk about secrecy?

What's more, she, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl and a strange-looking pirate rat, dared to sail around the stars alone in a starship without even a guard, which really can't help but make people suspicious.

Qiu Ci knew that no matter how much she said, it would be in vain, but she couldn't explain her matter to Heita, so she simply asked lightly: "Then Uncle Heita...... How do you want to? "Since Heita is only a few years older than her at this time, Uncle Heita is naturally not suitable. But for some reason, she really couldn't call the "brother", so she simply called him by his name.

These words obviously stopped Heita, and he secretly said how did he talk and turn around and turn back? What can he do, he can't kill her, and it's even more inappropriate to imprison her, not only will it attract the military to search here, affecting the search for the captain, but also care about her three meals a day, which is too cost-effective.

Ay...... He couldn't help but sigh secretly, if the captain and Locke were there, where would he be needed to worry about what to do with her.

After being silent for a long time, Heita was cautious and said to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man behind him: "Bill, take them down first, arrange a room for them, and wait for Locke to come back." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Ci, Qiu Ci nodded and said, "Let's do this first." ”

After Qiu Ci took Qiu Ye Qing and Dardania away, he immediately said in a deep voice to the base communicator in charge of monitoring: "Quickly monitor the abandoned space jump point, and if you find a military warship, report it immediately." Also, contact Locke and ask him to get back to the base as soon as possible. ”

The Black Tower was restless, it was really a wave of unsettled, the captain had not found it yet, this time Xingyao lost half of his brothers and the battleship, and most of the remaining brothers and the battleship were taken away by Locke again. If the alliance military really finds this place, the Red Spider pirates are in danger.

After everything was a foregone conclusion, Qiu Ci made up her mind, she originally expected that the chance of her father being swept away by the rift in time and space was far greater than that of being safe, but she still had some expectations. She knew in her heart that if her father was really swept away by the rift in time and space, then no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find it.

It seems that this trip was in vain, and she didn't have too much disappointment in her heart, but her mood was much calmer than when she came. All she asked for was a definite answer, and now that she knew the answer, whether good or bad, it was better than guessing and guessing.

As for whether to search for Daddy, Qiu Ji sighed, since Locke has been searching for more than half a year with the Red Spider Pirate Fleet and has not found it, what can she do?

Dad was swept away by the space-time rift, and I don't know which space and time he went, so how to find it? She can only comfort herself, since her father's disappearance is roughly the same as in her previous life, she should also follow the established trajectory in her previous life and come back safe and sound, but can he still bring back the fire?

The fire was in the golden hall in her mind, how could Daddy find it again?

She was shocked in her heart, and finally understood where the long-standing uneasiness in her heart came from, and the key was the flow of fire. If the Flowing Fire is a necessary condition for Daddy to come back from another plane, then this condition no longer exists at this time, how can Daddy come back?

"Girl, your heart is so messy, it's annoying." Ah Pu shouted in Qiu Zi's head.

Qiu Ci ignored him, only paced back and forth in the room, his heart was like a stormy wave, and he couldn't calm down for a moment. Qiu Ye Qing and Dardania looked at her walking around, neither spoke, in the eyes of the two, Qiu Ci has always been calm, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, it was the first time to see her so irritable.

The room they were in was all made of dark red stone that was unique to the vicinity of the base, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive under the illumination of the light. Every day, the Black Tower would have food delivered on time, but it was just some dry food and water that would help with preservation, and sometimes even a nutrient solution. As long as they don't go out, there will be no one to take care of them.

Qiu Ci grew up here in his previous life, and he ate a lot of these coarse foods, and sometimes the food was tight, so he fed his stomach with nutrient solution, so he didn't have any discomfort. Before Autumn Leaf Qing met Autumn Words, she lived in a slum area, not to mention the quality of food, and Dardania was originally in the Ravel system, and she was begging for a miserable life with Aramis, so she can also get used to the situation at this time.

Akiji knew that Heita had put him under house arrest, and he must have been waiting for Uncle Locke to come back and decide what to do with him. She didn't worry about her own safety, the moon and the fire were in the golden hall in her mind at this time, if it really came to the worst, she and Apu would pilot a mecha to take Akiba Qing and Dardania back to the Starship.

As for the restricted-level energy cannon array outside the base, it would be easy for her to destroy. And judging from her observations in the past few days, the number of people in the base is very small, far less than when she was in the heyday of the Red Spider Pirates in her previous life, and no one can keep her if she wants to leave. After a little thought, I realized that it must be because of the Star Glory disaster that I lost a lot of brothers, and I was taken away by Locke, so the base is so empty.

After three days like this, Akiji would occasionally take Akiba Qing and Dardania to wander around the base, looking for places in memory that were once unforgettable. She automatically ignored the men who followed them, knowing that as long as she didn't set foot in those important secrets, they wouldn't care about her.

At noon on the fourth day, Autumn heard a dull sound overhead in the house, like a continuous spring thunder, and immediately got up and went out with Autumn Leaf Green and Dardania. She knew that Locke was back, it was the sound of the battleship when it landed, and she had been used to hearing it since she was a child.

Sure enough, as soon as they walked out of the door, two men came up and said that the Black Tower had an invitation and asked them to go. After leading them to a row of dark red stone houses, he pointed to the middle one and said, "Miss, let's go in." ”

Qiu Ci looked at this row of red houses, and his heart suddenly rose, this is ...... This is Redbeard's residence, and it is also where she lived in her previous life.

Why should you come here? Could it be...... Daddy is back?

Thinking like this, where could she still control it, and hurriedly quickened her pace and walked towards the door. As soon as she entered, she saw the stout body of Blacktower standing on the side of the bed with her back to her, and next to him was the back of a thin man. There was also a man in the room, holding a syringe to push the air inside, a few drops of liquid splashing from the tip of the syringe, the man nodded, and then turned his back.

Qiu Ci understood that he was injecting the person on the bed, and his heart suddenly beat wildly, who was the person on the bed? Why do you want to sleep in Daddy's bed in Daddy's house?

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, trying to see who was covered by the three people on the bed, but she didn't seem to dare to look at it. Is it Daddy? What happened to Daddy? Is it very badly injured?

"Miss Qiuji, meet again."

Qiu Ci raised her head in a daze, only to see that Locke was saying something to her, and she had already walked behind the three of them at some point, less than half a meter away.

"Uncle Locke." She whispered.

"It's me, why did the young lady come here?" Locke looked tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was much thinner than when they last met, but there was a joy between his eyebrows.

Akiji didn't answer him, for she had already seen a crimson beard in the gap between him and the Black Tower. She seemed to smile a little, and then stepped over, squeezing away the skinny Locke, and saw the familiar face, and the flamboyant crimson beard.

Captain Redbeard was asleep with his eyes closed, his brown and reddish brows furrowed slightly, and he twitched from time to time, as if he was enduring some pain.

Qiu Ci hurriedly looked at him, only to see that the clothes on his upper body had been taken off, revealing dense scars. These scars are long, short, thick and thin, some are old and dark, but more are fresh scars, and there are even a few long scars that are bleeding.

She covered her mouth with her hand, and hurriedly moved her gaze to Captain Redbeard's face, a trace of water appeared under her eyes, and her hand unconsciously wanted to reach out to soothe Daddy's frowning brow, but she was suddenly stunned.

Why is the look on Daddy's face so tender and loving? This kind of look was not unfamiliar to her, because it was like this when he looked at her as a child. Could it be that the old man felt that he was his daughter in a coma?

Locke was heard to say: "When we found the head, we almost didn't recognize him, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was lying motionless on the wreckage of the escape boat. Fortunately, of course, our own escape boat knows, so we didn't miss it in the vast space. ”

Locke said very happily, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little moved when he saw the water in Qiu Ci's eyes. This girl hasn't seen her for three years, but she still remembers them, and she obviously has a clear relationship with the leader. If he hadn't known that the head had no daughter, just looking at the painful and pitiful look on her face at this time, he would never have suspected that this was the head of the head's biological daughter.

With his fiery eyes, he dared to conclude that Qiu Ci's feelings were definitely not pretended, but just......

The black tower next to him was also surprised, and gave Locke a look, Locke shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

Qiu Zhi's eyes rolled, and then he was stunned again, and it was not only Redbeard who was alone on the bed, but there was also a small baby lying on his left hand, wrapped in dark black clothes.

She had just focused all her attention on Redbeard, but she didn't notice that when she saw the baby's sleeping little face at this moment, her heart was beating so hard for some reason, and her eyes seemed to be glued to her, and she couldn't take her eyes off it......
