Chapter 170: Spades

The shuttle jolted a few times and came to a complete stop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

The bright light from outside shone in directly, illuminating the two of them unable to open their eyes.

Boom!

Boom!

Two muffled sounds, as if something had hit the shuttle shell.

"It's locked." Fujiwara took a breath.

This shows that the other side is armed.

Could it be the Interstellar Development Agency? Zheng Guo guessed.

After several jumps, they had reached a relatively busy shipping lane, and it was inevitable that they would be discovered.

At this point, the shuttle receives a message.

Fujiwara opens the virtual screen, and a static image appears on the screen.

The upper part is a spade (the same kind of spades found on a playing card), and below the spade are two crossed knives.

Zheng Guo was stunned for a moment, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"The Pirates of Spades." Fujiwara whispered.

Zheng Guo suddenly realized.

He had seen relevant reports on the news, and there were many rumors about the Pirates of Spades.

They are arguably the first group of interstellar pirates in human history, and they are said to have been established more than ten years ago, but they were really known as a pirate gang five years ago, that is, during the period when interstellar navigation gradually flourished.

According to the published data, the Pirates of Spades have carried out more than 30 robberies, targeting some well-known companies, such as Great Wall Gene and Boeing......

The worst is the Fujiwara enterprise, which has been robbed eight times in the past five years, and each time it has suffered heavy losses, so that they now dare not go out without an armed escort.

The Interstellar Development Agency has listed the Pirates of Spades as the most wanted target, and the leader "King of Spades" has been offered a reward of tens of millions of dollars.

However, Zheng Guo felt very strange, this group of pirates usually robbed large transport ships, how could they target such an ordinary shuttle this time?

With a little brain, you know that there must be no goods in it.,It's obvious that this is pretending to be human.。

Could it be that this time they want to rob people?

At this moment, a processed voice came from the screen and said something to them.

"Listen, the people in the car, we are the organization of spades, and it only takes a second to blast your car to slag. Give you a minute to send a distress signal to Earth, start the timer now. ”

Zheng Guo and Fujiwara glanced at each other, both a little confused.

Let them call for help? It's like robbing a bank but asking the staff to call the police......

Before the two of them could turn the corner, another voice came from the screen, this time it was the original sound.

"What was my tone? Cool or not? ”

"Stupid, you haven't turned off the call yet!"

"Grass ......"

Click, the call was cut off.

Zheng Guo and Fujiwara: "(γƒΌ_γƒΌ)!!"

……

……

Fourteen years ago.

An ordinary evening.

In a cramped, cramped, dilapidated room, an old television is playing an entertaining talk show.

Outside the window, insects chirped and mosquitoes buzzed around the house.

The temperature is so hot that you want to strip naked.

Yu Ming was lying on the wooden bed, shaking a fan in one hand and a comic book in the other, looking fascinated.

On TV, the host and two guests are discussing some current events.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's been almost two years since quantum communication and transition technology entered the practical stage, and there are still many people who doubt that we have received help from extraterrestrial civilizations......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The public's suspicion is not unreasonable, science and technology should develop in an orderly and gradual manner, and the rise of interstellar navigation and communication technology is too sudden, and it is far behind other fields. But if you want to talk about aliens, I personally don't believe in them, there are too many loopholes, and there are no basis ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ordinary people feel that it is too abrupt and not 'gradual' enough, because they only see the surface. In fact, the scientific community has been studying this area for a long time, but it has been in the accumulation stage before. It is actually normal to accumulate to a certain extent, and the quantitative change will produce a qualitative change, from 0 to 1 all of a sudden. The first successful landing on the moon in the United States that year also brought a great shock to people......"

……

At this moment, a young man walked in outside, with a thin but handsome face.

Yu Ming was fascinated and didn't look up.

It wasn't until the TV was turned off that he came back to his senses from the world of comics.

"How did you come back?"

"Happy birthday to you." Yu Guang sat next to him, took the pu fan from his hand, and fanned the two of them together. "I'm eleven years old."

"It's not my birthday." Yu Ming lowered his head and continued to read the comics.

"People always have to have a first time. I'm leaving Earth tomorrow and I'll be back for the New Year, and I want to give you a gift in advance. ”

Yu Ming turned his head to look at him: "What?" ”

Yu Guang smiled mysteriously and stood up: "Follow me." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

"Wait." Yu Ming stopped him and bent down to drag out a cardboard box from under the bed.

"I was going to bring it to you tomorrow, but since you're here......"

Yu Guang took it and opened it to see that it was a pair of brand-new white sneakers.

"Where did it come from?" Yu Guang frowned.

"You don't care, just put it on."

Yu Guang squatted down, pressed his shoulder with one hand, stared at him for a while, and his expression was serious: "Tell me where you came from." ”

"Picked it up." Yu Ming looked aside.

"Really?"

"Really."

"You swear, if these shoes don't come the right way, then I'll be doomed when I wear them."

Yu Ming glanced at him: "I swear." ”

Yu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed to change into new shoes.

"It's a little big, but it's okay and doesn't affect walking." Yu Guang walked back and forth in the house for a few steps and nodded, "Let's go, take you to a place." ”

The two walked up a hill not far away.

"Look there," Yu Guang said excitedly, pointing to an area in the night sky, "Do you see the brightest star?" That's where I work. ”

Yu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his cheeks with one hand, looking uninterested: "It's the stars that shine, can you work on the sun?" ”

"Uh......" Yu Guang scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, Lao Zhao fooled me?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Yu Ming straightened up and asked.

"Old business, mining."

"You can dig on Earth, so why do you have to go to an alien planet?"

"Because you make a lot of money, you don't understand." Yu Guang took out a round ball the size of a ping-pong ball from his pocket, threw it into the air, and caught it again.

"What's that?"

"Star charter, your gift. When activated, a hologram is projected, containing all the planets that humanity has discovered, including the one I'm going to. How's that, like? ”

Yu Ming's face was black: "What a broken thing, it's useless at all, I'd rather have a comic book." ”

"You can use it to learn about the universe."

"I'm only on Earth for the rest of my life, what's the use of learning this."

"You can't say that, experts say that mankind has entered the era of cosmic discovery, and the opportunities in the future are in outer space, you have to keep up with the trend." Yu Guang said as he fiddled with the star chart in his hand, trying to open it.

Yu Ming rolled his eyes: "I gave you a pair of sneakers, but you gave me a piece of garbage, you are really a good brother." ”

"Hey, you kid...... Depend on! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Can't be opened."

"I've got a fake."

"Uh, I can open it the first time I try, it's really ......"

Yu Guang continued to fiddle for a while, and finally could only admit that this star chart was bad.

"Damn, it's rubbish." Yu Guang said depressedly. "But don't worry, I'll fix it and I'll give it to you when I get back."

Yu Ming yawned and stood up: "You can go back." ”

"Wait."

Yu Guang stuffed the star atlas into his pocket, took out two playing cards from the other side, turned their sides up, stretched them out in front of Yu Ming, and looked at him with a smile.

"Again? You're so naΓ―ve. Yu Ming said disdainfully.

Yu Guang smiled: "Draw one, the old rule, hearts indicate good luck, and spades indicate bad luck." ”

Yu Ming had no choice, so he drew one casually, turned it over and took a look, the king of hearts.

"Ha, it's good luck again, it looks like I'm going to be able to earn a lot of money this time!"

……

……

"What do they mean?" Fujiwara was puzzled.

Zheng Guo said he didn't know and asked, "Are you sure to escape now?" ”

Fujiwara shook his head: "Completely locked. ”

"Then there's only one option." Zheng Guo said.

Fujiwara nodded in agreement, brought up the operation panel, clicked a few times, and sent a distress signal.
