Chapter 11: The Past
Aside from the starship wreckage and asteroid fragments that can be seen everywhere, the Ifrit Nebula is a stunning sight to behold, with gorgeous orange clouds that are both soft and all-encompassing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As is the case in the Ifrit system, it is full of murderous pirates, criminals, cunning merchants, righteous bounty hunters, irresponsible garrison police, and legions of indentured laborers and slaves to the stars.
The Storm Petrel interceptor piloted by Fowei was heading towards the waypoint set by Nathan, there were no pirate ships along the way, and even if there were, the Storm Petrel's sensors could not pick up their signals, and the plasma gas pervasive in the nebula isolated most of the faint signals.
This is one of the reasons why the Ifrit Nebula is a barren land for commercial development, and no merchant would choose the troubled Nebula Galaxy as their colony.
However, the Ifrit Nebula has become a paradise and hiding place for the pirates of the starry sky, and most of the pirates' sites and bases are located on the edge of the nebula's interior - they dare not go too deep into the nebula, which is constantly spinning, making it extremely easy for all ships that go deep into it to lose their course.
It would take an hour to reach the designated waypoint, and Fuwei, who had taken a nap for a while, supported his chair and straightened up, naturally he still had a lot of questions to ask in his mind.
The first question was why his father, Robert, had become a contract laborer instead of a pirate with his grandmother.
"Old man, why does my dad hate my grandma?"
Fu Wei asked, Nathan had previously mentioned that his mother Fu Xiaolei had died at the hands of pirates, and Fu Wei guessed that there was a reason for this.
Nathan pursed his lips and asked rhetorically, "Are you interested in this past?" ”
"Of course!"
"Okay."
Nathan nodded and said, "You have the right to know the truth."
Alexander's family has rebellious genes in their bones, and it seems that every generation has to be enemies of their fathers, just like when your grandmother decided to be a pirate, I didn't allow it, and she had to cut ties with me.
Your father didn't want to be a pirate anymore, so he cut ties with your grandmother.
But as for why your father hates your grandmother, here's how it happened......"
"Your mother is the little daughter of the Fu family, she and your father fell in love, escaped from the house without hesitation, and lived with your father, and then the Fu family brought information that Fuhai's kid, that is, your grandfather, was critically ill.
Your mother is so distraught that she wants to go home and see her father one last time.
But your grandmother won't allow it.
Your mother got on a starship in a fit of rage, and for the first and last time, she disobeyed your grandmother's wishes, oh, and you were past your first birthday, and your grandmother gradually accepted your mother, and everything started to fall right.
But..."
"But what?" Fowei asked.
"But the specific location information of the Aurelia pirate group is very important, if this information is leaked, the entire pirate group will be in danger, no one can guarantee that after your mother leaves, this information will not be leaked because of your mother, except for your father."
Speaking of this, Nathan's tone was a little gloomy:
"Your grandmother was saddled with the life and death of the entire pirate group, and despite your father's pleading, she still relented and sent a small team of interceptors to wreck the long-distance cargo ship that your mother was transferring.
Your mother died in the Pegasus Galaxy, and the secret of the exact location of the Aurelia Pirates has also dissipated in the starry sky.
Child, it's not hard to imagine how desperate your father was at that time, he was so desperate that he cut ties with your grandmother, and then took you, who was not yet weaned, incognito, to the Pegasus galaxy, where he became a contract laborer, and brought you up alone.
It was when your father insisted on leaving that I was put on your father's ship by your grandmother's men. ”
Fu Wei sighed, there is such a bleak story between parents.
Nathan narrowed his eyes and continued: "Although your father and your grandmother have severed their relationship, in the end, the blood relationship is still there, and Robert is incognito and tight-lipped and has never revealed his identity as the son of Aurelia.
Until a few days ago, your father really shouldn't have answered the short-range real-time communication, because all the real-time communication of the new Huaxia Star was eavesdropped by Quake Industries.
This call, I guess it was from some member of the Aurelia Pirates.
Your father must know that his identity is exposed, of course he would rather die than be caught by the police, although he hates your grandmother, but after all, it is his real mother. ”
Nathan narrowed his eyes and continued to recall:
Robert didn't want to be a burden to Aurelia, he knew that once he was caught, Aurelia would be exposed, and as long as the Pegasus garrison took him hostage, Aurelia would definitely come to her rescue.
The only thing your father can't let go of is you, so before he died, he activated me and asked me to take you to your grandmother's side as soon as possible, because he knew that sooner or later the garrison would learn that Robert still had a 12-year-old like you, and that Robert was dead, and the garrison would arrest you. ”
Fu Wei remembered the unforgettable image he saw through the porthole, he imagined his father's reluctant expression, muttered his name, and then resolutely activated the mining laser, cutting through one of the unsuspecting Sidewinder interceptors.
"Fuwei, Dad can't take care of you anymore..."
Immediately afterwards, another Sidewinder interceptor instantly launched a sickle missile, which instantly exploded the mining ship piloted by his father.
Fuwei's eyes moistened again, in Xiao Fuwei's body, the thoughts and memories of the two lives have long been fused into one personality, Xiao Fuwei's father is actually Fuwei's father, this unforgettable grief stung Fuwei's tear ducts.
This time, Fuwei's tears were not caught in his eyes, but flowed unscrupulously, and he sobbed silently, even Nathan pursed his lips and sighed.
After crying for a while, Fu Wei wiped away his tears, clenched his fists and said, "I must kill the enemy with my own hands!" ”
"Forway, the Aurelia Pirate Regiment is coveted by many parties, and from the few words that your father revealed to me before his death, your father's communications must have been eavesdropped on by Quark Industries, and if I expected it to be right, it was someone else who killed your father, and in recent years, the leader of Quark Industries in the Pegasus system, the youngest son of the Quake family, Carl. Quake, who had a bad relationship with your grandmother, though I'm not entirely sure, is very suspicious.
This guy has been looking for your grandmother's pirate base for years, on the one hand he wants to wipe out the Aurelia pirate group, and on the other hand, he covets your grandmother's private treasures. ”
"Treasure?"
"That's right, it is rumored that your grandmother has hidden a peerless treasure in the base of the Aurelia Pirates, and no one knows what the treasure is, only that it is worth a fortune."
Nathan smiled contemptuously and said, "But I know what your grandmother hid, and those merchants and magnates would be so angry that they vomited blood if they knew that those treasures were nothing more than ancient physical scrolls." Hehehe. ”
Fowy secretly wrote down the name - Karl. Quake, swear in his heart that if his father's death had anything to do with him, Fowei would definitely operate the starship with his own hands and tear him apart!
Seeming to see the monstrous hatred on Fu Wei's face, Nathan shook his head and admonished: "Child, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Quake really has something to do with Robert's death, and you have to dispel that thought, you're only 12 years old and have a lot of chances.
You know, Carl. Quake is one of the most competitive heirs of Quark Industries, and the entire Pegasus system is under his actual control, which can be described as powerful, and the Pegasus galaxy is constantly transported to the headquarters of Quake Industries, making the entire Quake family value Cal very much.
He was able to control the entire galaxy in his own hands in the frontier where pirates were rampant, proving that this man was not a drunkard and a bastard, he was a ruthless and decisive fellow, and he never dragged his feet in doing things.
In just 5 years since Carl came to the Pegasus system, at the age of 20, he has put the very aggressive Quake industry in the leading position of the mining industry, suppressed all other societies and enterprises, and even gave the garrison three points of face, he is indeed the brightest light of the new generation. ”
Fu Wei said angrily: "If it is really him who is doing it, I will give him a more dazzling light and let him burn in the explosion of the particle beam!" ”
"Calm down, Fuwei."
Nathan shouted: "The first waypoint is almost here, after entering the range of the waypoint, select the next waypoint and continue flying, the flight time is still an hour." ”
