Chapter 493: The Return

The engine roared, and the locomotive turned a corner, hitting the highway and speeding toward the passenger terminal.

The reporters watched the three locomotives disappear into sight, and then dispersed as fast as they could, returning to their respective rooms or interview cars to contact their superiors.

Tang Fang didn't say much, but it revealed a lot of information, he said that his speech on SNS TV made some people unhappy, who were some people? Certainly not the Liberals.

Researchers are in a bad situation? What kind of research are the researchers engaged in? Biological battleships or anti-radiation drugs? Bad situation? Where does the threat come from? "Daystar Pharmaceuticals"? Or is it something else?

There is also that witty remark, which seems humorous, but the deep meaning is intriguing.

In the literal sense, Captain Tang was a little unhappy, he wanted to stab people with a stick, but from a deeper point of view, this was tantamount to sending a signal, he had the ability to defeat the enemy with strategy, and he also had the ability to win with force.

Adam? Oliver was the first big man to lose under him, but he would never be the last, and next time, Captain Tang might have to change his tricks and play with force to crush him.

Some deep-thinking political media reporters couldn't help but shudder, and their hearts were furious.

…………

It was not only Tang Fang, Claire and others who were ready to leave the "βŠ™ Garden in the Sky" and rush to the "Dillard" star system, but also the 220 Morrisnu and some unemployed people from Monya and Sulu.

Because the Morningstar had limited space and could not accommodate too many passengers, the old Corey had signed a long-term cooperation agreement with a transport company, and for some time to come, the "Babylon" and "Dillard" interstellar flights would be arranged regularly to transport the unemployed and the minerals from the Count of "Alcais" Marlowe.

The crew of the "Morning Star" is less than 200 people, and the space station that Tang intends to build in "Dillard" is the smallest of the "Sigma" shipyard of the original Meigar star system. Even with the addition of Byron's pirates, it is not enough to support such a behemoth, and besides, the pirates are good at guns and cannons, but when it comes to production and management, they are a group of laymen, like Garden? Experienced workers like Hall are the human resources he needs the most.

According to the plan of the Don side. The 220 Morrisnu and Garden and others took the passenger company's ship to the "Dillard" star system, the voyage was about a month, and the "Morning Star" only took half a month, and when they arrived, they had already dealt with Sheridan's people and forced Bilbow to compromise.

Nehmiah was arranged by him to accompany those men, waiting for the ships of the transport company to be ready, while he led Roy, Tang Lin and the others to go first.

During this period, a very unexpected thing happened, why didn't he expect Charlotte? Quinn will be at the docks to see him off. Tang Yun was very happy, and chattered with her for a long time like a yellow bird in estrus, until Captain Tang's face darkened, and finally he reluctantly said goodbye to the goddess and left on the shuttle.

…………

The Morning Star remained quietly moored at the P-22 battleship dock, and 20 minutes later, a high-pressure gas ejected from the hydraulic stationary equipment connected to the battleship. Disconnect from the splice point.

A set of auxiliary thrusters of the "Morning Star" ignited, and the battleship slowly sailed out of the berth. After leaving the port for several kilometers, the hull of the ship was turned around, the main engine was ignited, and the navigation beacon was guided by the navigation beacon and accelerated all the way to the warp speed interception net.

The departure procedure was transferred from the "Yakoda" government office to the customs and garrison naval fleet within a few minutes of Captain Tang's embarkation on the ship. Without a minute or a second, the "Morning Star" left "Babylon" through the special exit of the warp speed interception net and entered the outer void.

Tang Fang sat in the captain's seat, holding the beautifully carved purple clay pot that Miss Charlotte had given him before leaving, and inside was the rain flower tea that Claire had brewed for him herself.

He took two puffs from the spout and suddenly realized a problem. Under the buttocks is a luxurious captain's seat, wearing a straight military uniform that exudes the fragrance of laundry detergent, he is a 24-year-old young man, but he is holding a pear-sized purple clay pot in his hand, is this a little inappropriate? Charlotte ...... What the hell does she mean?

It was only then that he found that the girl sitting on the sofa behind the captain's seat had been covering her mouth and snickering, and the ship's officer Yu Fei in front of him also had a complicated expression, seeing that it meant that she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and she didn't laugh and panicked.

He frowned and asked, "Am I funny what I look like now?" ”

Yuffie nodded subconsciously, but his slender chin suddenly stopped halfway through, and he shook his head sensibly in denial.

Tang Fang looked back at Claire, but found that the girl had already bent her mouth with a smile, squinted her eyes with a smile, and softened her body with a smile.

"What does Charlotte mean by her?"

Hold up the purple clay pot and look at the rectangular energy-saving lamp on the ceiling, there is a very famous allusion on it - the hero of green plum boiling wine, very elegant, full of humanistic care and artistic atmosphere.

At first, he thought Miss Galactic Enchantress was doing what he liked, but now he doesn't think so.

Claire hugged her stomach and smiled, gasping and saying, "Haven't you always been very smart? I can't figure this out, she ...... She's scolding you little fox. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tang Fang suddenly came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "This dead girl! ”

Claire said, "I'll give it to me too." ”

Tang Fang was furious: "Hmm, how do you drop?" Elbow outward? ”

The girl smoothed the folds of her clothes and said, "Who called you so bad, and played a lot of tricks?" ”

"I'm not forced to ...... helplessly"

When he said this, he frowned and said in surprise: "It's not strange that you know what I have done, and how she ......"

He stopped halfway through again, his eyebrows furrowed like a sword, Charlotte's status in the Covenant was quite special, and it would not be a surprise if she had eyeliner in the Alliance Council.

"Captain, you have left the 'Babylon' military buffer zone, please give orders." Just then, Yuffie interrupted his thoughts.

Tang Fang looked up at the star map hanging in mid-air above the combat command platform, and ordered: "Start the warp engine, target the 'Saam' space station." ”

"Start the warp engine, the curvature value is 6.5, and the target is 'Saam'. Ignition countdown, 10, 9, 8......"

After a few breaths, the main thruster of the "Morning Star" sprayed out a round of dark blue, and the space around the hull of the ship distorted, accompanied by a burst of light, and the hull turned into an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the outer void of "Babylon".

…………

The end point of the Morningstar voyage is not the Dillard star system, but a large space station built in deep space 5.6 light-years away from Dillard.

Saam is not an official Covenant facility, nor is it the property of the military-industrial complex, but a deep-space space station invested and built by a prince of the United Kingdom of Turanks.

This kind of deep space station is rare in the Star Alliance, and it is generally a small and medium-sized air-based facility built by unscrupulous military industrial enterprises, which is used to provide various services for the pirates, evil mercenary organizations, adventurers, Star Alliance wanted criminals and other shady personnel and organizations roaming in the deep space of the universe.

Compared with the regular service space station set up in the manned star system, this kind of deep space space station has more business opportunities, more profits, and higher hourly wages. It is equipped with a certain number of private armies and space-based defense platforms, and the safety factor is still relatively high.

But even with the above advantages, few people are willing to come here to make a living, you must know that most of the guests who come to the space station are extremely vicious pirates, and the living environment of the space station is not very good, the price is expensive, and the resources are scarce. Even the same sex as fragrant and gluttonous, the workers are old and decrepit, and they can't get along in the service-oriented space station. The yellow-faced woman who came here to earn a pension.

In addition to providing external repair, supply, accommodation, entertainment and other functions, the most important point is to provide various support for the United Kingdom ships in Turanks, such as consultation, encrypted communication, escort, etc.

Saam is located halfway between the Babylon star system and the border with the United Kingdom of Tulanx, when the Tang side was still in Al-Casey. Philips has collected a lot of raw materials for the manufacture of "dimensional locks" in addition to iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals.

Because of the fear that someone would find out the relationship between the two sides, there would be another incident of raising the price of the mine, and after some discussion, the two sides decided to go their separate ways, and Philips led the caravan to "Sam" to wait. After the Tang side settles all the things of "Babylon", then go to the agreed place to meet, collect that part of the materials, and by the way, discuss the issue of the third "wisdom core" in the hands of Duke Congreve.

The above is the reason why Tang did not directly order the "Morning Star" to rush to the "Dillard" star system, but took the "Saam" space station.

…………

The voyage from the "Babylon" star system to the "Saam" space station was about 10 days, and after the "Morning Star" entered the virtual space, Tang Fang stepped down from the captain's seat, told SΓΉ Claire to take care of him on the bridge, contacted him if there was any problem, walked out of the bridge, and came to the second floor of the crew quarters.

Zhou Ai is still angry, from the arrival of the "Morning Star" to the departure of "Babylon", for almost a month, she has been stuffing herself on the ship, he thinks that this is not good for anyone, he must find a way to untie Zhou Ai's heart knot, do not expect her to accept the relationship between the three, at least don't avoid him.

He stood in the doorway and took a deep breath, calmed his mind as much as possible, and pressed the doorbell.

After a long time, when he thought that his efforts for the relationship between the two sides had failed again, a low-pitched voice came from the audio equipment next to the camera hole: "You...... It's back. ”

Tang Fang's heart trembled, a little happy, a little nervous, nodded and said, "Well, I'm back...... I remembered that I hadn't seen you for many days, so I came to see you. ”

The relationship between people is sometimes very simple, and sometimes it is extremely complicated, just like now, it is clear that two people have feelings for each other, but because of all kinds of entanglements, they seem a little distant.

Zhou Ai was silent for a while and said, "The door is not locked. ”

Tang Fang didn't know what the girl's mood was when she said this, anyway, the moment he pushed open the door, his heart was a little sour, not for himself, but for her, the stupid girl who was so stubborn that she would rather be wronged than hurt Claire.

The light in the room was abundant, as bright as day, and there was an elegant fragrance wafting in the air, which was a unique body fragrance born after Zhou Ai's body had undergone a mutation.

She sat on the bed, put her feet together, and watched the crystal sandals glow like diamonds in the light of the room lamp.

Today, instead of wearing a military uniform as usual, she is dressed in a refreshing summer dress. Like a girl walking in the shadow of a banyan tree on a college campus, she smells like a clear spring.

"Tang Yun's gift to me, is it good-looking?"

Tang Fang nodded: "Well, it's good-looking." He walked to the sofa across the bed and sat down, calmly looking at the beautiful face.

"Do I look good like this, or do I look good in a military uniform?"

He thought about it. said: "It's all good-looking." ”

Zhou Ai smiled, smiling very happily, like a rainbow flying in the sky after the rain dissipated, reflecting the heavens and the earth in seven colors.

She said, "Do you usually coax Claire like that?" ”

Tang Fang scratched his scalp, his face was a little red, somehow, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed when he met again, which was very different from his previous cheekiness.

Zhou Ai also thinks so. smiled and said, "What's wrong with you today?" It's a little different from before. ”

He thought seriously for a moment, and felt that it was not that he was different from before, but that she was different from before, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while.

"You...... Is it really Zhou Ai? ”

The girl stared at him, suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "I'm not Zhou Ai, who is it?" Could it be your new acquaintance, Miss Charlotte? ”

"This girl, she doesn't have a doorkeeper on her mouth, how can she say anything."

Tang Fang muttered. Looking into her eyes, she said seriously, "Can I think you're jealous?" ”

Zhou Ai frowned, saying that it was fake if he was not jealous. There were already two girls on the 'Morningstar' who were devoted to him, and in this way they provoked other women to make her happy, of course, he did not blame him for this, but it was not enough to offset the resentment in her heart. So he said coldly: "Hmph, it's still so self-inflicted." ”

"Is there one? Not really. He blinked and smirked, "I remember a saying that 'a woman is a woman who pleases herself.'" ”

As he spoke, he stared unscrupulously at the girl's legs, like a hungry red-eyed wolf.

"Alas!" Zhou Ai sighed. With a helpless expression, he said, "I know the purpose of your coming here, and I've thought about that question these days...... I'm not going to hide from you anymore because that's childish. ”

Tang Fang was stunned, she didn't expect that the words she had prepared were all in vain, she ...... She figured it out on her own.

But after thinking about it, when she was at the door just now, she agreed to enter the house by herself, which in itself showed an attitude, Zhou Ai's character is far stronger and decisive than Claire, and it is reasonable to be able to figure it out by herself.

After the girl said that, she lowered her head, her thin eyebrows trembled slightly, she thought of one thing, and decided that it would be easy to avoid him no longer, but if the situation of the last time happened again, how should she face it?

Although this path sprinkled with tribulus terrestris was chosen by herself, and she should not complain or regret it, it really hurts when the tribulus needles are pricked in her feet.

Her sadness is like the tide under the moon, gradually spreading throughout the room, and there is a feeling of distress and suffocation.

Tang Fang felt a little depressed in his chest, but he didn't know what to do, he was not good at comforting women with promises, because he felt that it was hypocritical, what men needed was "doing" rather than "saying", he would rather be a big tree behind the two girls who could shelter them from the wind and rain, rather than be a coquettish and cute husky.

He felt that it was disgusting, so he could only use the best and most lame means to relieve the dullness in the room: "Please believe me, I really didn't come to this room because of this problem, to see your beautiful and lovely ...... I just think that Tang Yun has been a little lawless recently, and the person she is most afraid of is you, so I hope you can change rooms with Freya and help me discipline that little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, that's it. ”

Zhou Ai's slightly trembling eyebrows were raised, and a red glow rose in her black pearl-like eyes, which was the color of flames, she bent her right foot, and then stretched it out again, because the speed was extremely fast, so a crystal sandal flew out horizontally, crossed the aisle, crossed the coffee table, and flew to Tang Fang, and was pinched in the palm of his hand.

"Tang Fang, you are shameless!"

Like a deaf man, he ignored Zhou Ai's angry gaze, got up from the sofa, walked slowly to her, held the snow-white and flawless foot like a water lotus, and helped her gently put the crystal sandals back on.

He smiled as if nothing had happened: "According to the custom in our hometown, when picking up the bride through the door, the groom must help the bride put on her shoes. ”

Zhou Ai showed a rare trace of shyness on his face, his originally tightened eyebrows stretched, the anger in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and he whispered "um".

I don't know whether to promise him to discipline Tang Yun, or to respond to the marriage customs he said at the end.

The sadness that had filled the room was replaced by a warm aura, and the silver-white light shone on the faces of the two men, like a blessing from the gods.

Zhou Ai suddenly felt that he was so smart, it turned out that there were really people who could pick up girls without confessing...... Then I felt stupid, but why did I want to be so stupid all the time, so stupid that the earth is desolate, and I am so stupid that the sea is dry and rotten.

In the end, she looked down at the white shirt and the plaid skirt on her body, wondering if it was affected by them, no longer the strong, iron-blooded concubine, but a little sour, and she couldn't wait to fall into his arms and cry aggrieved.

Many times, the so-called women do not let the eyebrows, but lack of dependence, can only grit their teeth and hold on, if there is a thick figure behind her to support the world, why pretend to be strong.
