Chapter Seventy-Four: The Port of the Dead

Suddenly rich overnight, Jim naturally doesn't treat his people badly. After paying their previous salaries in one go, the Rangers were bold, and Cooper happily stocked up on a lot of good liquor, not forgetting the juices of the two special needs.

In addition to satisfying the mental needs of the crew, Jim also spared no effort to spend money on the badly damaged Hyperion. With the Hubelion's armor upgraded, the weapon system upgraded, and the entire ship upgraded, Jim found that there was still a lot of money left.

There was obviously a lot of money left, but Jim had another idea of using it.

"Matt, the Hyperion still has a lot of money left over after the overhaul, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Maybe we need to buy an old Federation warship, and I feel stretched thin with only one flagship for all the combat power of space combat." Matt was referring to the battle against the Death Fleet at Bysher, and if there was an old Federation ship with even ultra-low combat power as a pinch, the Hyperion would not have suffered serious damage while eating them.

"Of course, because of our Ranger status, the Hyperion has very few chances to go toe-to-toe with other ships. Adding more equipment to the ground forces is clearly a better option. And the choice is yours, Jim. Matt said solemnly.

Well, the choice is yours....... For a moment, Jim decided that he would be better off saving the controversial money. Because the daily maintenance of the Ranger is inherently a lot of money. And if there is an emergency, there is a sum of money that can be well handled.

"Skip the topic." Jim said, "As for the old federal lieutenant you found in Tassanis, maybe we'll have to put some thought into deciphering her. ”

Jim Reynolds was talking about the time when they were fighting the infected in Meinhoff, and the Rangers had to split up due to the simultaneous occurrence of the Mayinhof infection crisis and the Empire's new recovery program in Tassanis. Matt leads the Hyperion to Tassanis, while Jim leads a ground team on Meinhoff.

Although it is very dangerous to divide the troops, the good thing is that the tasks on both sides are perfectly completed at the same time.

"The lieutenant of the old Federation is using some kind of highly encrypted method, and our existing computers, and the best scientific scientists, Stetman, are not sure to decipher the lieutenant without triggering her self-destruct device. We have to find someone who is better. ”

"Hmm~ Colonel Orlan in the Port of the Dead is the best deciphering expert in the entire empire, let's go to him, he will definitely be able to decipher - by the way, Matt, has Mirahan called you recently?"

As Jim spoke, his face darkened slightly at the sudden mention of Matt Horner's unbearable past.

"Don't talk about the old things, sir."

Jim skipped the topic with a comical shrug. Soon, after confirming that there really wasn't any urgent work to be done, Matt began the Hubelion's turn.

Zhao Yi walked on the long passage, and with him was Fucalo.

"By the way, I heard we're in the skies above the Port of the Dead." Zhao Yi took the initiative to say. The hands of the two people walking side by side shook one by one, and the backs of their hands collided from time to time.

It's so cool!

The warmth of the back of the hand spread from the back of Fucalo's hand to the back of Zhao Yi's hand when it was touched in a moment. Suddenly, Zhao Yi, a single divine dog, even thought about where the two of their children would go to elementary school.

"Hmm."

Fucalo replied in a nasal voice, and in an instant, the backs of their hands touched again.

- No! Should I hold Fucallo's hand?

Zhao Yi's brain was spinning wildly.

- When I was in Bysher, she promised me that she would be my girlfriend as long as she survived!

Zhao Yi's palms, which were becoming more and more tangled, began to sweat, and his heart was beating fast - and he couldn't let go because of the first time he fell in love, so he didn't dare to look at Fucalo's face at all.

If he had looked at it, he would have seen that Fcalo and his face were flushed to the base of his ears.

There will also be a moment when the passage present is finished, and the gate with the alloy appears in front of the two of them, and the two of them breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

In the passage where no one has to think about the problem of holding hands or not, after entering the room where there is someone, the two people who have not yet sorted out the relationship do not have to suffer from gains and losses.

In this breath of relaxation, there is a little relaxation mixed with a little loss.

The alloyed, side-to-side door opened, and with the light from inside, the two of them saw a group of neat soldiers. It was a soldier under Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi, who was still suffering from gains and losses a second ago, suddenly sharpened his eyes.

"Matt! Contact Colonel Orlan, it's clear that it's already the agreed time, why is he still us? ”

High up in the orbit of the Port of the Dead, within the bridge of the Hyperion, Jim shouted at Matt. And Matt loyally clicked on the communication channel with Colonel Orran.

"Sir, Orran has denied our request for communications."

Matt, who found out that something was wrong, immediately reported to Jim Reynolds, and Jim frowned deeply: "He wants to eat our adjutant?" ”

A sense of foreboding was immediate, and soon a new communication channel connected the Hyperion.

Matt, who has some unknown reason, connects to the communication, and as a result, a woman Matt never wants to see in his life appears in the video.

Pink hair, strong muscles that could not be concealed by a mercenary's power suit, and a terrifying red prosthetic eye was loaded on her left eye.

Mirahan!

When Mirahan appeared, goosebumps jumped up all over Matt's body, and adrenaline raced. For a moment, the man, who didn't usually have many opportunities to exercise, immediately flashed to the side, avoiding Mirahan's gaze.

"Hello, Mr. Renault. Is the pony there? ”

Jim's gaze shifted slightly, and he found that Matt Horner was hiding on the other side of the star map, making it impossible for Mirahan to contact Jim Reynolds through the star map to see him.

Matt quickly shook his head, and his hand waved again and again, showing that Matt was very scared.

Well, Jim, who knows Matt's thoughts, doesn't play tricks on him anymore.

"Matt is here for a while, what's the matter?"

"Pony never writes to me or calls me."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"Colonel Orlan has decided to leave you alone."
