Gustav stood in front of the porthole, looking back in the direction of the giant star, his gaze blank.

As the spaceship advanced, the Juling Star in its field of vision became smaller and smaller, like a yellow-brown ball, gradually sinking into the boundless darkness of space. Juling Space City has long been invisible, but he knows that at this moment, Space City has fallen into the hands of the Black Market Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Group, and it may be difficult to take it back in the future.

Nearly two hundred years of painstaking work was destroyed within a week, without any prior warning, which was difficult for Gustav to accept.

This defeat is not enough to describe the heavy losses, and it is almost the total annihilation of the army.

The cash, goods, and fixed assets in the City Lord's Mansion alone add up to more than 100 billion yuan, and if these things are lost, as long as the manpower is still there, it will be easy to earn back the control of the Space City in the future.

However, now that there are no more people, this is the biggest loss!

The Panzer Guards, which have been recruited and cultivated for many years, are now nine out of ten, and there are less than a hundred left; Every year, the more than 2,000 reserve armed forces that spend countless money and resources to store are either dead or fleeing, and only a dozen people are followed on the ship; The seven generals who relied on the most were even worse, almost dead, and only Gao Sheng remained.

There is no one to use under him, even if he is a martial saint, it is impossible for him to kill back to the space city alone to seize power, that is tantamount to death.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, he didn't have time to report the problem of Space City to the Roche Consortium, and he contacted the senior warlock a few days ago to ask about it, but he was also vague and did not elaborate.

Losing control of Juling Space City is a heavy blow to the Luo consortium, and the direct income lost every year alone is more than 300 billion. Not to mention, the consortium still has a large amount of shady trade to be carried out in the space city, without the cover of this extralegal place, these illegal trades will basically stagnate, and the impact on the consortium will be too great.

"When I return to Earth, how should I explain to Mr. Luo?"

Gustav's mind was so confused that he was a little frightened and palely at the thought that Royan might be furious about it.

The horror of the eighth-level warlock, ordinary people can't imagine at all, he has followed Luo Yang for more than three hundred years, but every time he faces Luo Yang's anger, he trembles, and he doesn't dare to relax his vigilance because he is a martial saint.

"City Lord."

Gao Sheng walked over and said with concern: "Let's deal with the injury." ”

Only then did Gustav feel pain everywhere in his body, especially the hole between the lower left chest and abdomen, which was pierced by Edmund with a spear, not only the wound was huge, even the arm could pass through, but also the speed of light force spread from the wound to the whole body, like countless tiny sharp blades, destroying everywhere in the body.

In addition, the right calf was also hit by Edmund's pistol, taking away large muscles, and the leg bone inside was also broken, resulting in impaired mobility.

In other words, ordinary people would have died long ago after being so seriously injured, and even the generals couldn't withstand it, that is, the vitality of the martial saint was tenacious, and it could still hold on, and it was not even fatal.

But Edmund didn't think about it, even his arm was cut off, and this battle can be described as a lose-lose situation, almost making the high-ranking generals of those mercenary groups take advantage of it.

Gustav examined his injuries carefully, and his brow furrowed.

It would take at least half a year for such a serious injury to heal, and during this period, his strength plummeted to less than thirty percent, and even a high-ranking martial artist at the peak could threaten his life.

Fortunately, the spaceship is full of his own people, and Gao Sheng can be trusted, so there should be no danger.

"But ......"

A terrible thought flashed through Gustav's mind, and suddenly a stirring spirit was struck.

He sat on the captain's throne, let his subordinates help him treat his wounds, his eyes swept over the bridge, and found nothing unusual, and finally looked at Gao Sheng who was standing next to him, and asked softly: "How many people have you taken away, and how is the arrangement?" ”

Gao Sheng hurriedly replied: "There are a total of 93 people, basically all of them are members of the armored guard, they are willing to continue to follow the city lord, I have checked them all, and there is definitely no problem with loyalty." I've let them go to rest and arrange them in the cabins of the ship. ”

"Take off your armor and check it?" Gustav was not reassured.

"Yes." Gao Sheng understood what the city lord was worried about, and said seriously: "As soon as I got on the boat, I asked them to take off their armor, they are all familiar faces, and they also have passwords, and there are absolutely no outsiders to mix." ”

Gustav's face was relieved, his heart calmed down a little, and he nodded: "You did a good job." ”

"That's as it should be." Gao Sheng's face was full of caution, and he asked again: "City Lord, where are we going next, will we return to Earth directly?" "The Ice Mist is a properly registered commercial spacecraft, under the name of a transportation company, which can enter the Earth's spaceport in the open.

Gustav thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Cambra first and stay there for a while." ”

"Yes, I see."

Gao Sheng nodded slightly, he knew that Cambra was an asteroid, not far away, in an uninhabited galaxy more than ten light-years away. The Roche Consortium has established a secret base in the asteroid as a logistics transit station, and the base is full of its own people, and it is usually managed by the city lord, and it is safe to recuperate there.

Gustav didn't want to face Royan with a serious injury, so he decided to wait until the storm had passed before returning to Earth, delaying it for a while. As for the matter of Space City, it is not too late to report it to the secret base.

He stood up and said, "I'll go back to the cabin to rest, you look at it here, it's hard for you." ”

Gao Sheng didn't even dare to say it, and respectfully watched Gustav leave the bridge.

In the luxurious captain's room, Gustav lay in the induction chamber for medical treatment, and his doctors could only treat his skin injuries, help stop the bleeding, connect the broken bones, and the real internal injuries had to be recovered by themselves. He quickly entered a meditative state, reversing the Force to drive out the external force in his body and stimulate the regeneration of wound muscles, which was a long and time-consuming task that would take at least a month or two to complete.

After meditating for more than ten hours, Gustav finally exorcised a small part of the Lightspeed Force and felt better. He had not slept for more than a week, when a deep exhaustion came over him and he fell asleep directly in the induction capsule.

I don't know how long later, in the haze, Gustav heard a crash, and his heart was alarmed, and he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He rolled over and jumped out of the induction pod, immediately sensing that something was wrong, and called, "Ice Mist." ”

Ice fog is the artificial intelligence of the spaceship, but it didn't appear after a few calls, and I don't know if the spaceship was malfunctioning and the core optical brain was shut down.

In either case, it's very bad.

Gustav's heart sank, this situation seemed familiar, and it was the same when he was in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, all the monitoring systems, artificial intelligence, always failed inexplicably.

He took a deep breath and prepared to go out to take a look, only to find that the hatch was locked.

Rumble!

The cold erupted, the hatch was smashed directly, and Gustav coughed a few times against his chest, which involved the wound and made him miserable.

He cautiously walked out of the cabin, walked on the passage of the ship, listened intently, and was shocked to find that the whole ship was extremely quiet, the light was dark, there was no voice, and there was no vibration. With the hearing of the Martial Saint, even if the sound insulation effect of the spaceship was good, he could detect the roar of the engine behind the ship, but he didn't hear anything, as if the spaceship had stalled.

After walking through the quiet and dark passageway, Gustav looked out of the transparent porthole and saw only the dark and deep interstellar space, and distant starlight.

He carefully observed for a few minutes, and finally made sure that the spacecraft was not only in warped space, but also completely reduced in speed, like a big iron coffin floating in space!

As he passed through the crew's rest quarter, Gustav forced himself to pick up the Force and broke into a random cabin.

Rumble...... The hatch was blasted open, and there was no movement inside.

He cautiously walked in, and saw the corpse of a high-ranking samurai lying on the bed, without any signs of struggle, and a bloody hole in the center of his eyebrows, apparently this person had been shot in his sleep.

Gustav's scalp was numb, and his face was hard to see.

After all the precautions, the killer also lurked on the spaceship. Now that he is seriously injured, his strength has plummeted, and he is on a lonely spaceship, the sky should not be called, the earth is not spiritual, and the situation cannot be worse.

After that, Gustav broke open several cabins in succession and found that all the people inside were dead.

Their deaths were very similar, most of them were shot in their sleep, and a few did not die in their beds, they were doing something else, but they could not resist the sneak attack, and they were shot in the head through the wall without even giving a warning.

"This means!"

Gustav felt chills in his heart, feeling colder than the frozen Force he had cultivated, and said secretly, "Could it be that the people of the entire spaceship are dead?" What about Gao Sheng? He is a high-level general, he won't die so easily! ”

He exited the cabin and sprang up, soon reaching the bridge.

The bridge was brightly lit, the only place in the ship that was still lit, and Gustav rushed in to see corpses all over the ground, and a dozen ship operators were dead. Some of these people were shot in the head, while others were charred and blackened, as if they had been burned by the heat, and they should have been shocked by a high-voltage electric current.

This was the first time Gustav had seen a means of death other than a gunshot, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Electromagnetic Warlock!

But Gao Sheng's body was not seen in the bridge.

Gustav's gaze scanned the bridge, and suddenly stared at the captain's throne, the back of the chair was facing him, blocking most of his body and only half of his head was exposed, and the back looked very familiar, it should be Gao Sheng.

At this time, the seat turned slightly, facing Gustav, with a faint sneer on his face.

"Gao Sheng?"

Gustav was shocked and immediately sensed an abnormality, this person was definitely not Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng is his most loyal subordinate, always respectful, and will never put on such an expression in front of him. The eyes are the windows of the soul, this person's gaze is domineering, and his eyes are as sharp as arrows, as if he doesn't even care about himself, a martial saint, which is completely different from Gao Sheng's mediocre mentality.

"You're not Gao Sheng!"

Gustav shouted angrily, and then remembered that the other party might be a warlock above level six, and his life might be in danger, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked as low as possible, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Who do you think I'll be?"

The other party asked rhetorically, his voice was far from Gao Sheng, and Gustav confirmed that this person was really not Gao Sheng, but it sounded a little familiar, and his voice was very young, as if he had heard this person speak somewhere.

Gustav's mind was racing and he tried desperately to remember, but the more he hurried, the more inflexible he became, and he still couldn't remember.

"The city lord is really a noble person who forgets things, and also, where is a little person with low strength like me worthy of a martial saint's concern. My life is worth two or three hundred million at most, is it right, city lord? ”

Gao Sheng on the seat laughed at himself, and at the same time, his facial muscles changed, gradually changing into another appearance.

When Gustav heard "My life is worth two or three hundred million at most", his expression suddenly changed drastically, because he once said something.

Last year, he was talking to Luo Yanfeng on the phone, Luo Yanfeng said that he was willing to spend 100 billion yuan to win the Qingkong sapling from Xin Lian, and easily increased the price by 1 billion to buy Xin Lian's life, and he said that he didn't need a billion, just a high-level samurai, just a small person, no matter how good his talent was, his life was worth two or three hundred million at most.

"You're lonely!"

Gustav blurted out, just as the other party's appearance had changed, revealing his true face, and it was really lonely!

He never dreamed that sitting in front of him would be bitter and lonely!

How can it be bitter and lonely?

Didn't this kid hide under the protection of the Lu family? How did he track down Space City? What is the relationship with Zhuang Xiaolin? Is he the killer who subverted his rule in Space City?

From beginning to end, there is only one enemy, and that is the "first day of the Federation" that was not even in the eyes of the past at all!

Gustav stood in a daze, his mind in a state of confusion, a myriad of questions popping up, and he felt like he was about to drive himself crazy.

After more than ten seconds, Gustav was startled, and finally thought of a most critical question.

Where did Xin Lin hear that sentence from herself? He seriously recalled that when he and Luo Yanfeng discussed the 100 billion reward on the phone last year, there was a third person present, and that was the butler Faulkner. He and Luo Dashao will definitely not leak out, that is, there is something wrong with Faulkner.

Faulkner died at the hands of Zhuang Xiaolin, and now it seems that Zhuang Xiaolin must have been disguised by Xin Xiaolin.

Gustav finally reacted, looking at Xin Lin in shock, his face full of disbelief.

This kid has disappeared for more than a year, and his strength has increased to an unimaginable realm, not only can he kill high-level generals in one minute, practice a mysterious killer skill, but also may have some kind of method of reading other people's memories!

Xin Lin was not in a hurry to make a move, he sat on the captain's throne with a relaxed posture, watching Gustav's face change back and forth, cloudy and uncertain, but he was calm as usual, looking like watching a play.

"City Lord, have you figured it out?" Xin asked jokingly.

"How is this possible!"

Gustav couldn't help but take two steps back and said in shock: "How did you do it?" What about Gao Sheng? ”

"If he hadn't been incinerated, his body would still be in Space City."

Xin Silent replied slowly, now only Gustav and himself are left on the entire spaceship, and the system of the spaceship is also controlled by Augustus, so he is not afraid of leaking secrets at all.

Gustav suddenly realized that Gao Sheng had been killed in the chaos, and then Xin Lin impersonated himself and boarded the spaceship, and fled in a hurry, without noticing that his henchmen were transferred. What I said before about checking outsiders is nonsense, even Gao Sheng himself is fake, and it would be hellish if he could find out the killer.

His mind was in a hurry, this was not the time to pursue Xin Lian's revenge, what he should think about was how to survive from Xin Lian's men.

If he was not injured, Gustav was not afraid of Xin Lin at all, this kid was only a high-level warrior a year ago, no matter how strong he was, he would not be stronger than the Martial Saint, otherwise he would have secretly attacked when he was in Space City.

But now that he was seriously injured, he had less than thirty percent of his strength left, and he was really powerless to fight against a non-low-level electromagnetic warlock.

In fact, he was trying his best to observe as he spoke, trying to predict Xin Lone's strength and prepare for the next battle, but Xin Lone did not have a trace of breath leaking out of his body, neither the characteristics of the Force nor any signs of telekinesis, and he looked like an ordinary person.

This strange situation made Gustav feel even more dangerous, and felt more and more unfathomable.

"Xin Lone, do you think there is any misunderstanding here?" He said with a dry smile, still thinking about a bit of luck. With Xin Lone's assassination method, the best time to kill yourself is when you are cultivating in the induction cabin, but Xin Lone didn't do it, maybe he had something else to ask for.

Xin Lin stood up, and before he could speak, Gustav's face changed like a frightened bird, and he hurriedly retreated again.

He was only a few steps away from exiting the bridge.

Xin Lin raised his hand, and with a bang, the gate gate of the bridge fell heavily, blocking Gustav's retreat. The gate was made of titanium, weighed 100 tons, was extremely hard, and was the ship's last line of defense, now leaving Gustav in a cage.

Gustav was even more desperate in his heart, and the means of Xin Lin were far beyond his imagination, as if the entire ship was under his control.

Xin Lin seemed to have done something insignificant, slowly walked over to Gustav, and said calmly: "Don't worry, city lord, I won't kill you for the time being, I just need you to cooperate with me to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Gustav asked subconsciously.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know, now please ask the city lord to arrest him." Xin Lin flipped his palm, took out a pair of alloy shackles and threw them at Gustav's feet, and made a gesture of please, which seemed to eat him.

Gustav was furious, he was a martial saint no matter what, and he was admired by thousands of people, and now a young man who was less than thirty years old actually asked him to surrender, which was a great shame.

"You're dreaming!"

Before the words fell, there was a bang, and Xin Lone's figure disappeared from the spot.

Although Gustav was injured, his eyesight was still there, and he reacted quickly, and he clearly saw that Xin Lin instantly accelerated to the extreme, and bombarded him with a punch. The power of this punch is full of power even from the perspective of the Martial Saint, and he dare not underestimate it, and the entire bridge shook, as if a tenth-level hurricane was blowing.

"This is not the means of an electromagnetic warlock, he is a general?"

Gustav was shocked, and habitually raised the Force Condensed Ice Sword to face the enemy, a sharp pain came from the wound, and the broken right leg did not obey the call, and he couldn't use too much force at all, and suddenly his body stagnated, and his movements slowed down.

Bang!

Xin Silence hit Gustav with a solid punch, knocking him into the titanium gate behind him, and the injury immediately worsened, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.

With a crackling sound, an electric arc hit Gustav's body, and the electric current continued to entangle for a few seconds, and under the violent electric shock, Gustav's protective body was crushed, and the electric current rushed into his body, instantly flowing through his body, his whole body convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and he fainted in less than ten seconds.

Xin Lin withdrew the current, his face was relaxed, and the injured Gustav was easier to deal with than he expected, and he was not as tricky as the peak high-level generals.

He stepped forward and picked up the alloy shackles, first breaking Gustav's limbs without mercy, then handcuffing his hands and feet firmly, lifting them up and placing them on the captain's throne, and feeling for the two pairs of shackles and seat cuffs together.

Even if it was a seriously injured martial saint, Xin Lin didn't dare to be careless.

After all, what he was going to do next was too shocking.
