"Mom? Why are you still ......" Jonny immediately understood when he saw Robert's mother next to him, the fact that the media of the Alliance was hyping up, how could the family members who were hostages not know and not care?

"Jonny, are you alright? Are there any injuries? Where are you now? Is it safe to make this call? Joanna threw out a lot of questions, she now only had her son in her eyes, anxiously to take off Robert's watch, the latter touched on the holographic control pad, enlarged the call image, and turned on the free panorama mode, so that the other party can view the frame according to the focal length of the 360 degrees.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Uncle Daniel...... And Uncle Lucas! Mom, where are you? The scene outside doesn't look like Wenzhi City. As soon as Jonny finished speaking, he saw the sword of the angel standing tall on the roof of the Cabinet Building in the distance.

"Angel City, going to find you." Lucas replied to Jonny's words with a faint expression.

"Where the hell are you, Jonny?" Daniel has seen Roger probe his brain behind the camera. Clark, he was grinning at the crowd.

"Don't worry, Uncle Daniel, we've escaped." Jonny tells the crowd in the video.

"Escaped?" Robert asked suspiciously, not only him, but everyone in the room was surprised by this.

"Yes, Uncle Kent, this is obviously confirmed, in fact we were rescued, and someone somehow saved us." Roger gestures at the camera with a scissor finger.

"You're inexplicable...... Robert and the others heard the sound of an urn outside the screen.

"We've passed through the Anubis Stargate at the moment, let me see......" Jonny found the location of the Starlight on the star map. The location is still outside the system...... away from one called Erremus. The John space station is about a dozen light-seconds away, and there is a medium-sized, ultra-long-range communication base......"

"Errems space station? It was a colonial transit facility under the jurisdiction of the Development Committee. Robert certainly knows that.

"Let me explain, Chief of Staff, that is the final stop where we can deliver your son." Malcolm flicked his finger over the camera, revealing his smooth, flat face, his expressionless face and his voice as cold as ice.

"What?" Roger was visibly surprised. "It's all delivered here." He said. "A good person does it to the end and sends the Buddha to the west, but it is obviously not perfect to do so."

"Perfect fart, the plan from start to finish was only delivered here." Malcolm turned his face to Roger in the corner of the frame. "Whether it's Chilian or that foggy damn planet, my little ship probably doesn't have the privilege of entering and mooring."

"For people like us, the Martial Emperor Twin Stars are obviously a trouble to avoid, even if it is just passing through the Anubis Star Gate, it is already a taboo." He looked at Robert, and the corners of his mouth finally tugged at a smile.

"Only unregistered ships can't dock, you're a smuggler?" The Chief of Staff seemed unsurprised to guess Malcolm's true identity.

"A smuggler who saved your son's life." The leather-clad man in the video nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then send them to the Errems station." Robert immediately agreed to the other party's plan.

"Also, my wife and I are very grateful for the fact that you were able to save Xiao'er and his friends." He said again.

"Oh? Is it okay to just say thank you? Malcolm smiled.

"Then tell me your price." Robert replied without thinking.

"What's the price?" Unknown Roger. Clark interjected, as a palm reached in from the camera and pinched his shoulder, but it was the old man Cornell who prevented him from continuing to speak.

"Everyone understands people, so you don't need those time-wasting clichés, there is a lot of discussion, this trip to the space station will cost you 250,000 star coins." Malcolm clearly had a draft in mind.

"Huh? How much does this cost hundreds of thousands of star coins? Roger listened to the jaw-dropping noise, but the captain of the Starlight ignored him.

"But because someone has already paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan in advance, you just need to make up the rest." He added unhurriedly.

"Then it's 150,000 Star Coins, honorable ......"

"Malcolm ......"

"Mr. Malcolm, you take them to the Errems station immediately, and we will come and meet you as soon as possible." After Robert finished speaking, he didn't care if Joanna on the side had anything to say to Jonny, that is, he reached out and cut off the remote communication.

……

With the desire to succeed, with full self-confidence, and with twelve points of humanity, he left the Martial Emperor and the core of the Silver Alliance, until he became a contract colonist.

Subtract one point to ensure survival, subtract two points to earn star coins, and subtract three points in order to live like a human being, and in the end there is less than half of yourself left.

One tries to prove their existence, the other tries to find the meaning of life, and the third tries to remain rational, these exiles who have been abandoned by the world and forgotten by the world, living in the soil without any sense of belonging, the only thing they can do is to continue to torture themselves with what is left of their humanity......

……

The coffee served on the carrier ship is like muddy water......

Chang Xin frowned tightly, pursed her lips uncomfortably, every muscle in her face was tense, she puffed out her cheeks, she didn't know how to dispose of the liquid in her mouth, and looked around in a daze, but she couldn't find the garbage collector in the crowded cabin, so she had to force herself to swallow the terrible coffee.

For those cheap airfares, they must have put pesticides in their free coffee! This would discourage stingy passengers from buying a cargo hold full of supplies instead of paying a few extra coins in a comfortable economy cabin, which not only has bedding, but also provides free and non-disgusting meals.

But Chang Xin can't have that kind of small luxury, at least for now, although a year of contract colonization has saved her a lot of credits, if she sneaks away from the colony like her, the colony bureau of the Development Committee can use the reason of violating the contract to freeze all her colonist accounts.
