Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen - The Envoy Arrives
"When, when, when......"
However, before the crowd on the Berlin could rejoice, several dull loud noises were heard, which were the sound of flesh colliding with metal, and at the same time, the hull of the Berlin began to shake violently, and Lin Ke was caught off guard and the captain stumbled, and almost fell from the main console. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's going on!" Lin Ketong roared with the captain of the ship.
"It's, it's, it's coming! It pierces the curvature space! The observer jerked off the observation platform, looked in horror at the huge tentacle that covered half the screen in front of him, screamed, and stepped back with his hands and feet.
The entire main control room was in a mess, and the staff were running around in horror, wanting to leave the main control room, but where could they run again, the octopus monster the size of a starship, a tentacle could roll up a galaxy-level starship, even if it was the flagship starship-level starship Berlin, the octopus monster could easily wrap it, and it was impossible to escape.
After entering the curvature space, the communication signal between Lin Ketong and Clauis was also interrupted, in the curvature space, ordinary communication methods could not work, if the two starships wanted to communicate, they had to connect to the communication line, but they were entangled by the octopus monster as soon as they entered the curvature space, and they had not had time to connect the communication line, so Lin Ketong could not know the situation of Clauness now, but it should be worse than them, after all, Clauis was only on a galaxy-level scientific research ship, The tonnage is nowhere near as heavy as the Berlin.
As a senior captain and a former lieutenant commander officer of the Crane Dynasty, Captain Lin Ketong has never lacked the courage to die in his heart, even though he is now old.
"All of them!" The majestic voice sounded, which made the staff who had been trained by Mr. Captain for several years subconsciously stop the riot and wait for Mr. Captain's order, "To make a long story short, I am ready to activate the self-destruct device of the Berlin and die with this ugly octopus monster, this creature must not let it find our route alive, then it will be another insect plague for the entire Star Alliance!" I think the example of the North Kick Exploration Team is still fresh in everyone's memory, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, we can't be the sinners of the Covenant! ”
The entire starship fell silent, no one spoke, everyone's hearts were entangled, they were not so great and would not care about their own life and death.
"According to the understanding of the habits of the Zerg, these huge space species are absolutely irrational, they will only follow the nature of killing, even if we don't start the self-detonation program, our fate is already doomed, why don't you want to make your life more meaningful in the end!" Mr. Captain looked at everyone in the main control room with sincerity and determination written on his face.
The air seemed to freeze.
"Captain, I agree to activate the self-destruct mechanism." The first mate said.
"I agree." The second mate said.
"I have no opinion." The bearded chief engineer lit a cigar and took a deep breath, and now no one on board was going to bother with him smoking a cigar during working hours.
"We agree!" All the crew members on board said together.
A smile appeared on the captain's face, "The Covenant is proud of you. ”
He walked up to the self-destruct device, took a deep breath, and was about to activate the self-destruct system, when suddenly, a loud shout attracted his gaze, and he frowned and said, "Mr. Correspondent, what happened. ”
"He, he signaled me!" The correspondent looked a little overwhelmed.
"Who?" Mr. Captain's brow furrowed.
"Yes, it's an octopus!"
……
"Brother William?" Jiang Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect William to come to him now, his Ying Yan only died yesterday, shouldn't he be hanging on that silent and stubborn girl now?
William's face was very pale, and his complexion was worse than ever, like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness, and he looked shaky. Although he had a smile on his face, it was different from the once sunny and elegant noble smile, his smile was a little cold, and there seemed to be a great despair, pain and sorrow brewing in it.
"Won't you let me in and sit down for a while?" William smiled slightly, his tone indifferent.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, he glanced William up and down, was silent for a moment, and finally turned sideways and motioned for him to come in.
William didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the conference room, put the suitcase in his hand on the table, opened the box, and inside it was the Yao Fang named "Nineteen" and the second skin named "Yuehua".
"This is what the Lord asked me to give you." William gets straight to the point.
Jiang Xiu's brows tightened, and he said, "I think I made it very clear yesterday that I won't do this deal." ”
"It's not a deal, it's a reparation." William's tone was still indifferent, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations, "The Lord is sorry for what happened yesterday, so I decided to give you these two things unconditionally, hoping that you will not take that incident to heart." ”
Jiang Xiu's eyes wrinkled slightly, looking at William, a strange feeling rose in his heart. Is there anything more ridiculous than the person who should have remembered the events of that day in his heart, but instead he is taking the blame for him to forget about it?
As if seeing the doubts in Jiang Xiu's heart, William said lightly: "Our lives have been defended by generations of white devils with blood, so we must also use blood to defend the rule of white devils, this is our fate, and it is also the rule of survival in Atlantis, and each of us will accept it." As for this apology, you can accept it, it is what you deserve, and it is what Atlantis owes you. ”
Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, he sighed, nodded and said, "I understand." ”
William nodded and said, "Also, the envoy of the Star Alliance will arrive later this afternoon, and you and I will go with you to meet the envoy at that time, and if things go well, we will be able to leave the pirate harbor tonight." ”
"We?" Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What, Brother William, do you still want to go to the Star Alliance with me?" ”
After yesterday's incident, Jiang Xiu's wariness of William was greatly reduced, and although he was a little surprised that William was going to go out of the pirate harbor with him, he did not show an attitude of refusal.
"Although the capital crime is exempt, I have no place in the pirate harbor, and the Lord will not allow a person who has betrayed him to continue to stay in the pirate harbor," William said lightly, "What, Brother Jiang is unwilling to accept me?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, and stretched out his hands: "Welcome." ”
……
The ladder to the sky, that is, the glass passage that Jiang Xiu passed through when they arrived in Atlantis, at this moment, many Atlantean guards stood silently outside the passage, and their military appearance was reorganized, so the formation was similar to the difference between Jiang Xiu and Alicia when they first came to Atlantis, the only difference was that Jiang Xiu himself was in the column this time.
They are waiting for the envoy from the Star Alliance, the chief of staff of the First Celtic Legion, and the sixth-order star division, Lieutenant General Mitellan.
A luxurious starship landed slowly, and the powerful air flow blew on the ground, setting off a whirlwind visible to the naked eye, even through the thick and solid aviation glass, everyone could feel the intensity of the air current, hitting the glass and making a thunderous roar, like the long roar of a sea beast.
A slight tremor came, the spacecraft landed safely, stopped moving, and the glass doors of the ladder to the sky opened to both sides, and the wet air from the sea came to the face, and the temperature in the air was a little colder.
William nodded to Jiang Xiu and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet our lieutenant general." ”
The door of the spaceship slowly opened, and an old man wearing an imperial military uniform, with two golden shining gold stars on his shoulders, and a World Leaf medal pinned to his chest, symbolizing the glory of the Celts, walked out of the ship first.
Although the old man was full of gray hair and wrinkled face, he was in good spirits, and his every move was dignified, and he looked like a superior person, especially with the red and shiny forehead crystal in the center of his eyebrows, the purer the forehead crystal, the purer his bloodline, this is a Celtic powerhouse from an ancient family.
The old man came straight to Jiang Xiu, glanced Jiang Xiu up and down, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, little friend Jiang Xiu." ”
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and held Lieutenant General Mi Tailan's hand: "Me too, Mr. Lieutenant General." ”
"It was our negligence that made Xiaoyou suffer, and after learning the news of Xiaoyou, we immediately reacted and communicated with Mr. White Devil," Lieutenant General Mitellan said with a smile, "Fortunately, Xiaoyou is fine, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to Master Chen." ”
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly: "The family teacher knows the news that I am still fine." ”
"I know, after learning your news, we notified Master Chen as soon as possible, and Master Chen returned to Qi'an Star from Guangfuxing." Mi Tailan glanced at Jiang Xiu meaningfully, "Master Chen values Xiaoyou very much!" ”
A trace of emotion flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, Chen Anke hadn't left Qi'anxing for nearly ten years, and this time he actually went to Guangfuxing to exert pressure on him for his own affairs, which showed how much he cared about himself.
Mi Tailan laughed, patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder, and said, "Little friend Jiang Xiu, we'll talk about it later, please allow me to deal with some business first." ”
After that, Mitellan looked at William, his expression was no longer as kind as when he faced Jiang Xiu, and there was a coldness on his face: "I don't know where Mr. White Devil is?" ”
William was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed slightly and said, "The Lord is waiting for you, Mr. Lieutenant General, please come with me." ”
Mi Tailan's eyes narrowed slightly, his sleeves flicked, and he snorted coldly: "Lead the way ahead." ”
William's face remained unchanged, and he led Mitellan into a low-key and luxurious hovercar, and drove straight to the White Devil's Hall.
Jiang Xiu looked in the direction where everyone left, and a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes.
……
In the conference hall of Jiang Xiu's room, Tai Liangyi and others gathered together, and everyone's faces had different expressions, ranging from relaxed to complicated.
"That's the situation, if nothing else, I'll leave the Pirate Harbor tonight," Jiang Xiu glanced at everyone, "Now you have two choices, one is to follow me back to the Star Alliance, and the other is to stay in Atlantis, but I said ugly things in front, there are many people outside who want to trouble me, and it is risky to go to the Star Alliance with me, in comparison, it is safer for you to stay in Atlantis, with the relationship of Alicia, I believe no one will embarrass you." It's up to you to choose where you want to go. ”
"Needless to say, of course I'm with you, master." While touching up her makeup in front of the mirror, Tai Liangyi said indifferently, "As for those ...... who stand in the way"
Tai Liangyi suddenly raised his head and smiled gloomily: "Kill the light." ”
Jiang Xiu nodded and didn't say anything. Madmen are fearless.
Xiao Qin Yun's eyes looked at her brother timidly, she wanted to go with Jiang Xiu, as for the danger or anything, she didn't take it to heart, in her heart, no matter what danger, her Uncle Jiang Xiu could help her block it, Uncle Jiang Xiu was her god.
However, she knew that her brother had always misunderstood Uncle Jiang Xiu, and it was very likely that he would refuse to go to the Star Alliance, so she would not be able to be with Uncle Jiang Xiu, after all, no matter what, Li Jing was her brother, and she couldn't leave her brother alone.
Xiao Li Jing was not silent for long, and there was no trace of fluctuation on his cold little face: "I'll go to the Star Alliance with you." ”
"Brother, have you figured it out?" Xiao Qin Yun's face was full of surprise.
"Don't get me wrong." Xiao Li Jing said coldly, "I just want to wait for me to have the strength to kill this bastard." ”
The cold air in her tone made Xiao Qin Yun's face pale, and the tears in her eyes were shaky, on one side was her brother, and on the other side was her uncle, she really hoped that they could get along well, not like no enemies like now.
Jiang Xiu didn't take Xiao Li Jing's threat to heart in the slightest, and instead looked at Xiao Qin Yun indifferently and said, "Xiao Qin Yun, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Qin Yun sobbed and said weakly: "Where you go, I will go too." ”
There was silence in the room, and all eyes were on the last person who had not yet spoken, Garland.
Garland's face hesitated, and after a while, he suddenly said firmly, as if he had made up his mind, "My lord, I want to stay in Pirate Harbor. ”
Jiang Xiu was not surprised, nodded, and said, "Okay, Alicia also knows you, and with her care, you will have a better life in Pirate Harbor." ”
Garland had a grateful look on his face, although he was kidnapped by Jiang Xiu at the beginning, but Jiang Xiu never treated him as a prisoner, but regarded him as a companion, and always respected his personal thoughts, even if he wanted to stay in the pirate harbor now, Jiang Xiu didn't ask a word, but was still taking care of him, which made him how could he not be moved.
Garland only hated that he had no talent and no ability, and his second-order strength alone would not help Jiang Xiu at all, but would drag him down, otherwise he would definitely choose to go to the Star Alliance with Jiang Xiu.
"Okay, now that everyone has made a decision, let's go back and pack up, and we are expected to leave for the Star Alliance tonight." Jiang Xiu stood up and walked out the door, "Say goodbye to the Pirate Harbor, everyone." (To be continued.) )
