August 8, 2506. The fourth star field, Far Sky Guard (Special Military Zone), Re16 (Sky Zone) and 25 (Military Star Zone).

Long Qicong concealed his shame, withdrew the bullet from the chamber, closed the safe, and put the gun at the head of the bed. With a long sigh, Long Qicong lay down and stared at the ceiling.

Gu Rongrong was a little confused, and he didn't know what his master thought. She climbed into bed, lay down next to Long Qicong, and asked.

"Master? I ......"

"We don't have fundamental contradictions, we rely on each other to survive. Rest, rest. ”

This is the truth, but it's not entirely true either. It is true that there is no fundamental contradiction, but it is not right to rely on each other. Long Qicong needs to rely on an adult, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch. However, what about Gu Rongrong, at least Long Qi never imagined that she needed anything for herself.

That is, based on Gu Rongrong's cognitive mistakes now, fool the ignorant girl.

After speaking, Long Qicong pretended to be asleep and secretly observed Gu Rongrong's actions. Gu Rongrong heard Long Qicong's words, and after being stunned for a short time, he showed a bright smile.

With gratitude to Long Qicong, Gu Rongrong leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. To live, people always need someone to rely on. Either spiritual, or material, or a person who assumes himself. The so-called spiritual pillar is probably this.

Long Qicong saw that Gu Rongrong didn't move, and he slept sweetly, so he was relieved. opened his eyes and looked at Gu Rongrong, and did not speak. Now that I think about it, the experience of the past few days has been so unexpected. Qin Zhentian has escaped from the empire now, can he report this news to the empire.

Think about it or forget it, the empire may not be so willing to be borrowed to kill people, nor will it necessarily believe in an unknown source.

On the other hand, Long Qicong himself also wanted to be able to take revenge with his own hands. In addition, the most important point is that Long Qicong asked Gu Rongrong about the location of his planet. Especially the imperial number of the planet, she couldn't say at all.

I don't even know the specific star area, so no one cares about calling the police.

After a few days of hopping, the Rush arrived at the terminus of Re16 and 25. Originally, this stop was non-stop, and the direct confirmation permission to go to the border. But according to the norms of the empire, the escape pods that are salvaged wherever they are salvaged, are handed over somewhere.

After anchoring in Starport, the captain arranged for someone to pull the escape pod and go to the Imperial Maritime Administration. As necessary witnesses, Long Qicong and Gu Rongrong also had to go together.

Long Qi never had no choice but to agree, but he couldn't help but feel waves in his heart, and inexplicable nervousness arose. When the Imperial Maritime Bureau arrived, the staff jumped on the trailer and examined the escape pod in detail, and the tension reached the extreme.

"No problem, it's a registered escape pod. I didn't expect this old-fashioned escape pod to be used again. ”

The captain laughed and said, "Master Jun, look at what you said, we poor people, that can be compared with the empire." This kind of escape pod is already advanced for us. ”

"Don't come to this set, you know the rules, what about the people in the escape pod?"

"This is." As he spoke, the captain pointed at Gu Rongrong. The sergeant stood in front of Gu Rongrong, one meter and eight meters tall, looking down at her. gives people a strong sense of oppression, and the imperial soldiers seem to have this kind of aura.

"You are?"

Gu Rongrong nodded, but he didn't seem to be too afraid. This kind of big man, the master can kill eight in the blink of an eye. That's probably what she thought.

The soldier nodded, and pulled out a tablet terminal. Register some basic information and file for the record.

"Name?"

"Gu Rongrong."

......

"Heavy Industry Seat, Beta-4 C27· The Titanic, which was bound for Suncheonfu in the F591 star area, encountered an unknown disaster during the jump, right? ”

"Yes." Gu Rongrong nodded, Long Qicong taught her what to say about this. The melon on her back is ripe and can't go wrong. Again, the non-commissioned officer checked one side from beginning to end to avoid making mistakes on his own. After confirming that it was correct, he signed his name and handed over the tablet terminal to Gu Rongrong.

"You confirm it, there is no problem, and sign it."

Gu Rongrong carefully checked the side, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he signed his name. The non-commissioned officer took over the tablet terminal, and the people behind him unloaded the escape pod into storage.

As a reward for the bailout agreement, plus the incentives of the relevant insurance companies, the total is 1 million Imperial Dollars. Paid in gold, one hundred and ten ounces (troy).

It's not a lot of money, it's a heart.

"I warn you." The sergeant said to the captain, "These will be verified one by one, and if you play any tricks with the Empire, it will not be solved by a simple death." ”

The captain hurriedly nodded yes.

"Master Jun, look at what you said. We have the courage there, we are all businessmen. With the blessings of the empire, business grows. Hundreds of people pointed to me for dinner, and I had the courage to do so, and the people under my hands were afraid that they would not agree. ”

The sergeant of the Maritime Safety Bureau didn't know if it was okay to be a sycophant. It's not without accident in the past - pirates plundered merchant ships, colluded with some merchants, and took escape pods to receive rewards. This kind of behavior that is almost murderous and reckless is, of course, to anger the empire.

As the sergeant said, the consequences of those people are not simply a death that can be described. However, the imperial criminal law still retains the "joint sitting", although it is applied with extreme restraint, but some people are always on the verge of being full of beheadings, frantically tempting.

"I've said everything I need to say. Don't swallow the money alone, give a little to the people under your hands, understand? ”

The captain repeatedly agreed, "Yes, yes, all raises." I won't swallow a single one. ”

This is a bit false, but the sergeant will not care. The crowd received the money and went back to the ship. Although the captain said that he was not so selfless, he was not insatiable.

In addition to the driver who promised to participate in the operation boat in advance, the other staff involved in the rescue also shared a penny. The captain took half of it.

Long Qi never expected that since the captain had given himself and Gu Rongrong ten gold coins.

The empire's external settlement method is this standard gold. Even many civilizations in the interstellar societies of the empire have adopted it as their official currency. The gold coins of the Empire are not only of high purity, but also of precise weight, and one gold coin is an ounce of gold.

In order to avoid wear and tear caused during use, there is also a dense special alloy coating on the surface.

Ten gold coins! That's 100,000 Imperial Coins. This is not some otherworldly novel, or a game, where you can break out thousands of gold coins by fighting a monster. Life is not easy, and making money is not easy.
