Chapter 21: Testing Strength

"Mr. Mu, I don't know why you agreed to the request of the government army? We have a quota for energy and food storage on board, and adding two more passengers may not be beneficial for the next seven days of flight. ”

The old man was dressed in a black Tang suit, a pair of open-top cloth shoes, and a cigarette pouch in his hand, looking like a wealthy merchant in the ancient East.

In the universe, because of the relationship of being uprooted from their homeland, many ethnic groups have become more and more admiring the ancient way of life of their own people, in order to show that their identity is extraordinary.

For example, many Western celebrities like to carve heraldic symbols on their mechas; The aristocracy of the East, on the other hand, tended to dress up in antiquity.

Mu Yi is the employer of the Stardust Mercenary Group and an excellent biologist, nominally going to the Crimson Galaxy to investigate the local ecology.

As for what other purposes are secretly there, it is unknown.

Mu Yi smiled slightly: "Convenient with others is convenient with ourselves, no matter how we say that we are all citizens under the rule of the interstellar government, and it is also appropriate to do something for the interstellar government." ”

Gordon frowned slightly, bowed down and said, "Mr. Mu, you are the boss, you have the final say." But since we're in charge of keeping you safe, we can't help but put these two outsiders to some minor test, and I hope you don't mind. ”

Mr. Mu made a "please" gesture.

At this time, the computer had already transmitted the information of the two.

"Hunter, the head of the border station of the government army stationed in the Crimson Galaxy, the former deputy captain of the Gulan Planetary Mecha Squadron, a four-star knight, shot down 21 enemy mechs, was awarded three medals, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel. For the unprovoked assault on his direct superior, he was sentenced to five years of controlled military service by a military court, and was assigned to serve in the Crimson Galaxy. ”

"Gu Lan Galaxy......" Gordon nodded, and said to a subordinate through the walkie-talkie, "Hong Gang, you used to be a star thief in the Gu Lan Galaxy for a while, do you know Hunter?" ”

Star thieves are criminals who smuggle between universes, and usually do not commit crimes against other starships, which is different from pirates who rob starships by force, so Gordon is not taboo.

The hologram of the star thief Hong Gang immediately appeared, Hong Gang saluted the head of the regiment, and bowed slightly to his employer, Mr. Mu.

"Report to the head of the regiment, his subordinates have fought with Hunter twice, this person is rough-branched, short-tempered, and upright, and every time he doesn't care about coordinating with his comrades, he often falls into our camp alone."

"Oh? So he's an idiot? ”

"Well, I'm afraid you can't say that. In each battle, we had at least ten mecha besieging him, but they were all resisted by his superb mecha combat skills, although our mecha at that time were very low-level paramilitary mechas, but the government army's mecha was not outstanding, which shows that his strength is extraordinary. ”

"Well, what happened to the two fights?"

"The first time we were able to escape, and the second time Hunter captured four of his companions, including me."

"And how did you get out?" Gordon knew that the government forces punished the star thieves very harshly, even more than the pirates. The reason is very simple, the pirates are powerful, and the armed forces often outnumber the government forces, and if you are harsh on a pirate, you may be subjected to very terrible retaliation.

As for the star thieves, they are often a rabble of civilians who have no way to live.

"At that time, my subordinates had no way out, so they had to beg Hunter for mercy, saying that I had an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and that I had no choice but to make a living in this smuggling business. I thought that the catastrophe would be inevitable, but Hunter actually nodded again and again, saying that a manly husband should support his family and live, even if he broke the law, he should not let his family starve. This Hunter not only did not send me back to the Gu Lanxing Military Headquarters, but instead gave us a lot of money for the journey. It was after that operation that his subordinates made up their minds to break away from the Star Thieves Gang, and finally joined the regimental leader. ”

Gordon nodded again and again: "It sounds like this Hunter is a good man, and now he is on our ship, and you will entertain him later, so don't make any trouble." Mom, the government army is really not a thing, how did such a good man come to a place like the Crimson Star Field? ”

"Yes!" Hong Gang stood upright, and the hologram disappeared.

Gordon knocked on the table: "Second soldier...... Private He Ruozhi, 21 years old, joined the army in June this year and was assigned to the Elfa Planetary Frontier Station in the Crimson Star Domain as a mecha maintenance officer. ”

The information is meaningless, indicating that this person has not held a position in a major company before, nor has he obtained a degree from a prestigious interstellar college, nor has he fought in various mercenary armies.

Of course, if you are a good friend who has been a pirate or a star thief, you often don't have any information.

"Weird...... Aren't earthlings sent to death when they go to the Crimson Star Domain? Could it be an ancient martial arts cultivator? ”

Gordon thought for a while, and issued another order: "Chuck, you go and try this He Ruozhi, be careful not to hurt him." ”

On the monitor, Hunter and He Ruozhi had already disembarked from the spaceship, and were led to the residence by the logistics personnel of the mercenary group, and after they put down their things, they were taken to the restaurant on the spaceship.

The members of the Stardust Mercenary Regiment are certainly not the ruthless people of the interstellar pirates.

But since they are good friends who eat on the knife's edge, they are naturally brave and ruthless, and they are by no means good men and women.

What's more, I was bored during the long space voyage, and I could only borrow a computer to play some virtual games all day long.

Seeing that two new passengers had arrived on the ship, most of the resting mercenaries gathered in the dining room, looking at the two with malicious eyes.

Federal Army? The Federation Army is the most fucking army in the entire universe, and it can only fight star thieves and the like, even if it is a thief group with only ten mechas, it can kill the government army crying dad and mother!

This is the consensus of all the mercenaries.

However, without the instructions of the regiment commander, they will not deliberately provoke incidents, after all, they are still on the task, and if the employer gets angry and can't receive the money, then they will be picked up by the regiment commander.

Chuck is not one of them.

With a cigarette in his mouth, a muffled tune in his mouth and a glass of beer in his hand, he walked towards the two government soldiers in three steps.

"Dear friends, let's toast to the great Union Army......" Chuck laughed treacherously.

Suddenly, the soles of his feet seemed to slip, and the whole glass of wine was poured on He Ruozhi's head.

He Ruozhi was concentrating on cutting the steak, and his whole body was splashed with sticky and cold liquid, and he froze for a while.

Hunter stomped on He Ruozhi's foot under the table and said in a low voice: "Patience, you give Lao Tzu patience." ”

He Ruozhi was stunned for a moment, and then continued to cut the steak as if nothing had happened, slowly tasting the taste.

Hunter is angry, this patience doesn't mean saying nothing, you have to say two words or something, otherwise you don't seem to be really mentally retarded?

Chuck was also stunned, is this kid really stupid? Why is there no reaction at all?

On the command platform, Gordon shook his head secretly, and said helplessly: "It seems that the Federation Army is really empty, and even this kind of goods can be used as soldiers!" ”

Mr. Mu was silent, just carefully watching He Ruozhi's every move.

At this time, there was suddenly an extra girl in the monitor.

The girl was wearing an emerald green silk cheongsam, a dignified classical hairstyle, a cute round face like a red apple, and a pair of large deep glasses, and at this moment she was hitting Chuck's head with the thick hardcover book in her hand.

"You scoundrel, why are you bullying people!"
