Chapter 50: The Eve of the Storm
Overnight, Jupiter's planetary defense forces were removed as a whole, and although the military claimed that it was a normal rotation of garrisons, this kind of rotation without any warning and rotation still made people smell a hint of unease. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of thing is a completely trivial matter in the tens of millions of galaxies in the federal administrative territory, but the Tempest Mercenary Regiment still learned about this seemingly ordinary, but interesting thing through some means, thanks to the experience of walking on the edge of federal law and the sharpness of stepping on a tightrope on the bottom line of the military's tolerance.
After all, Jupiter is the only interstellar passage from Yangma to Jupiter in the neutral region, unless it is the military's main ship and the Soyuz spacecraft of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, no spacecraft can carry a large enough amount of energy to pass through the wormhole at a distance of 10,000 light-years from Yangma to Nanxing. Therefore, the change of defense of Jupiter is something that must be paid attention to for Xue Youman and Huang Qi'an.
Unfortunately, after receiving this disturbing news, it was already three days later, and there was only one day before the scheduled trading time, and it was obvious that they were unable to do anything about it.
The tavern in the Yangma Star living area, as one of the few entertainment items, has become a gathering place for the Tempest Mercenary Group in the past few days. Wine and women are the eternal topics of men, especially for this group of outlaws who have no longer put their heads on their belts and have passed the day and have no tomorrow, they are the rhythm of life that must be followed.
Xue Youman and Huang Qi'an had a serious discussion about the return trip in the hotel, although Yang Ma Xing was ridiculously expensive due to lack of material, there were still two bottles of Que Ye wine piled up in front of the three of them.
Que Ye Wine, Xiao Bai has gone through an unforgettable lesson, and he is no longer stained. Although Nanxing's sweet wine is also intoxicating, it is undoubtedly much better than the spicy and rugged taste of Que Ye wine. But this rugged flavor is just right for a place like the Neutral Territories, which is outside the Federation and Covenant civilizations.
"I don't think Jupiter's change of guard is just a normal routine, after all, it happens every three years. This change of guard is just half a year in advance, if the course is specifically changed for this, the spacecraft needs to carry out 5 wormhole crossings, plus the time for the spacecraft to be charged several times, the time from departure to return will be extended to 16 days, such a long time Chai family can not wait. Huang Qi'an frowned and expressed his opposition to Xue Youman's change of course.
Xue Youman drank the last glass of Que Ye wine with a sullen head, and the strong stimulation made his whole face wrinkled, and after the stimulation passed, Xue Youru said slightly angrily: "What I am thinking about now is not the time of the Chai family, but the success or failure of this mission, after all, ensuring the safety of the two of you is the top priority of our mercenary group, and I am also responsible for the safety of the team members." ”
Huang Qi'an shook his head and said: "If this change of defense of Jupiter is really aimed at the Chai family, then no matter which transit star we transport from, the planetary defense force will detain us as soon as possible, I don't think the military will remove the planetary defense force because of a small smuggling operation." In response to this action, the Chai family paid at least tens of millions of federal coupons to the Tempest Mercenary Group, since you dare to undertake this business, you must be fully prepared, if you change the established goal because of a small matter, not only the Chai family, but even I can't accept it. ”
Every time he talked about the mission goal, Xue Youman was silent, after all, the first thing that the mercenary group needed to maintain was the word reputation. If this thing is lost, the only way to face the mercenary group is to disband, which is also the only reason why Huang Qi'an can suppress the other party in the neutral area.
The discussion fell into a brief awkward silence. Xiao Bai was secretly frightened, because the development of things was undoubtedly extending in the direction that Old Man Mu had predicted. If it was really because of your own reasons that caused the collapse of the plan, it was obviously unacceptable. So Xiao Bai asked: "If this is a problem that both sides are worried about, then can we bypass Jupiter and directly set the coordinate point in the middle of the south star and Jupiter?" ”
Xiao Bai's words made Xue Youman and Huang Qi'an's eyes instantly become strange. Xue You sneered disdainfully and said: "Brother Xiao Bai is really good at laughing, the space nodes on the interstellar route have already been stabilized after special development, if you want to bypass the stable space nodes and develop a new channel by yourself, not to mention that the energy of the spacecraft cannot meet the requirements, the direction of coming out will be any point within thousands of light years." If it's close to the immigrant planet, it's fine, but if you travel to a sparsely populated space, the spacecraft will run out of energy to pass through the wormhole again, thousands of light-years away, do you know what the concept is? ”
Xue Youman's tone was very unkind, he completely regarded Xiao Bai as the kind of gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, although Huang Qi'an was dissatisfied with Xue Youman's tone, but he only frowned, obviously agreeing with Xue Youman's statement.
Xiao Bai did not tell the two of them the truth of the Chai family's transportation of goods this time, Huang Qi'an may not know, but once Xue Youman knows, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not disclose or sell the information to the Federation this time, if he does this, it will be a catastrophe for the Chai family and himself.
However, it is obvious that this time the military has become quite vigilant and made corresponding arrangements because of its own departure, so how to avoid the military's interrogation?
Xiao Bai's eyes flashed Lin Yuchen's beautiful appearance again. Old Man Mu only knew his identity after a short conversation, but he was vague about the basis of his guess. In neutral zones, anything can be converted into money, including information. The reason why Old Man Mu didn't tell the story was whether he wanted to sell this information at a price, no one dared to guarantee it.
But since Old Man Mu is closely linked to the military, does it mean that he is being monitored by the military all the time? Otherwise, it would be completely unreasonable to analyze Jupiter's change of guard at this time node. So, how much does this matter have to do with Lin Yuchen? And what was the real purpose of bringing herself to the Southern Borough?
From the fact that he was drunk and fought with Pei Yong in the Su family's restaurant, which caused Nianhua Academy to come forward as a guarantor, so that Situ Wenbo said harsh words to himself; I didn't think through the hidden meaning behind the Chai family's action at all, and blindly accepted it. Xiao Bai felt that he was too impulsive when he encountered things. Now that my life has changed, it is no longer as simple as living in Firebird, the world is too deceitful, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a whirlpool and cannot extricate yourself.
Therefore, whether it is the remedy of the Chai family's actions this time, or the self-help of his new life, Xiao Bai must think about how to properly handle this matter.
Just when the three of them fell silent, Xue Youman's portable light brain lit up, he raised his arm, and a light screen appeared on the light brain hanging on his arm, in the light screen, the old man Mu made people angry, only to hear him say a little excitedly: "I received the news, the goods will arrive in 2 hours!" It was a day earlier than I expected. Hurry up and get ready, and go straight to the airport to take over. No entry into the living quarters! I don't need to repeat it, do you?! ”
Old Man Mu's words made the three of them jump up from their seats, and Xue You's eyes widened and said, "Old Man Mu, I only dare to believe two out of ten sentences of your words." There's nothing wrong with your intelligence, right? ”
The old man in the light screen was furious and said, "If you don't go, get out early!" There are just other ......."
Old Man Mu didn't finish speaking, Xue Youman turned off his light brain, he retreated and spitted: "This old immortal doesn't want people to have the urge to beat him all the time, but it's so powerful." Hurry up and finish the transaction and leave this hellish place, I want to vomit when I see him every day for the past three days. I just can't take it anymore. ”
Huang Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, the arrival of the goods in three days was already the most perfect process expected by Chai Chu. In this way, he was spared the need to go directly to the Black Stone Star to find a deal with the smuggling boss, after all, that person's reputation, it makes people shudder to think about it.
The huge surprise of the arrival of the goods has made the two temporarily forget the topic they just argued, after all, receiving the goods already represents half the success.
Xiao Bai frowned and said, "Captain Huang, you and Captain Xue Youman will go to receive the goods." I want to go to Old Man Mu's. ”
Since seeing Old Man Mu on the first day, Xiao Bai has been running to Old Man Mu almost every day, which made Xue Youman very surprised, this kid and Old Man Mu seem to be very familiar with each other, and the relationship is not bad. How much willpower does it take to resist the urge not to beat the old man and go to him every day?
Huang Qi'an glanced at Xiao Bai lightly, nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao Bai, then you must pay attention to my message, and don't break the link between the light brain and the nerves, maybe we will soon." ”
Huang Qi'an's "Young Master Xiao Bai" made Xue Youman pout, and then rolled his eyes and walked out of the tavern with a disdainful expression. In his heart, Xiao Bai's image of being a gentleman is becoming more and more ingrained.
