About 5 million kilometers away from the periphery of the Jupita Galaxy, a huge transparent sphere like a glass sphere suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky, and the sphere was like a wizard crystal ball suspended in the starry sky.

Because this sphere is like an extremely heavy iron ball, the space around it is like a silk cloth, bent by the iron ball, and the light rays shoot near the sphere, and then rotate and sink along this curved space, directly submerging into the sphere, so the scenery reflected from the surface of the sphere is no longer the starry sky of this star field, but a strange star field.

Suddenly, the sphere rippled like a ripple of water, and without warning, a medium-sized cargo ship rushed out of the sphere, and as the antimatter energy field outside the spacecraft closed, the sphere seemed to be deflated and unable to support it, and began to collapse inward, like a hole in the void being filled, the sphere became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared from the starry sky.

In just 30 minutes, the Chai family's medium-sized cargo spacecraft "Hope I" passed through the wormhole, broke through the shackles of time and space, and went from the southern star to the Jupiter domain.

Xiao Bai was woken up by the spaceship's hibernation chamber program, and 30 minutes were in mandatory sleep, which is the time to close and open his eyes. When he walked out of the cabin, Huang Qi'an was sweating profusely on a chair in the spaceship corridor, his face was pale and he kept kicking.

Seeing Xiao Bai come out, Huang Qi'an smiled reluctantly and said, "It's a bit overconsumed, this crossing of his X is simply fatal." ”

Huang Qi'an's state made Xiao Bai a little uneasy, and he frowned and asked, "Captain Huang, why don't you take a rest first?" ”

"It's fine." Huang Qi'an waved his hand and said, "It's just a little tired, I'll be fine if I sit down for a while." Now the speed of the ship will drop to 10% of the speed of light and gradually slow down, and it will be Jupiter in about 5 minutes, so we are ready. The pilot will stay on standby with Jupiter, and the next leg of the trip will be just the two of us. ”

Jupiter is a transit point for important cargo in the Southern Administrative Region, as well as a place for interstellar mercenaries. There are more than 50 such transit stations in the southern administrative districts, but Jupiter is the closest to the Yangma system.

Although it is an important transit point, because of the proximity of the stars of the Jupiter system, perhaps many years ago, this planet was the place where life appeared, but because the Jupiter star expanded into a red giant star and evaporated the water here, Jupiter became a barren land of yellow sand.

The transit station is nothing more than a miniature city expanded from an airport to the ground 1 kilometer from the outskirts of the city to the ground, wrapped in a plasma shield. Therefore, although the surface is more than 100 degrees above the surface under the scorching stars, inside the shield, it is only about 35 degrees.

Walking on the streets of the airport, Xiao Bai felt like he had returned to the Firebird Star --- looked desolate. Obviously, the Federation did not invest too much in Jupiter's status as a transit point, except for the heavily armed soldiers around the airport, almost all the construction of this miniature city belonged to various mercenary groups, interstellar pirates, and interstellar wanderers.

On the walls of the buildings, there are all kinds of strange interstellar objects, with the teeth of strange beasts, strange plants, damaged weapons, and the severed limbs of robots, and people walking in it with expressionless faces, and the whole city gives people a sense of desolation and ruggedness.

The hotel at the airport was built from a small abandoned cargo ship, the hatch had been removed and replaced with the original hinged door, and the entire cargo warehouse had been converted into a tavern hall, with more than 10 round tables set up, no more, no less, and exactly 15 people staggering in between, laughing and spraying filthy swear words, and the tavern owner wore a greasy, loose suit and wiped his wine glass with an expressionless face. A horrific scar on his face, apparently from being hit by a high-powered particle gun, is a reminder of his crazy years as an interstellar pirate.

Huang Qi'an and Xiao Bai walked into the tavern, and the clothing styles of the two of them that were obviously incompatible with the place instantly quieted the tavern. 16 pairs of eyes swept around the two of them without any scruples, as if admiring beautiful women, which made Xiao Bai feel unbearable. The boss stared at the two of them for a few seconds, and then concentrated on his own work of wiping the cup. Of the remaining 15 people, one of them stood up from the table, he stared at the sign of the Chai family's "Nanxing Commercial Bank" on Huang Qi'an's uniform for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You have arrived early. ”

Before getting off the spacecraft, Huang Qi'an injected a dose of physical strength recovery agent, and at this time he became a hundred times more energetic, and he said to the big man: "Who is leading the team?" Didn't Captain Xi come? ”

Huang Qi'an's words made the 15 people in the tavern let out a laugh, and someone below suddenly laughed loudly: "Head Xi is lying on the belly of the singing woman on the Red Horn Planet, hahaha!" ”

Another human: "Nonsense, he obviously went to the Triangular Star Domain to find his first love!" ”

In a mocking voice, the leader of the big man shouted: "Enough! Be quiet. The more than 10 people who were laughing were suddenly silent, Xiao Bai was slightly moved by this battle, under the surface of this group of seemingly a group of rabble, there was a strong discipline that was integrated into the bones.

Seeing that there was no sound, Dahan said to Huang Qi'an: "Captain Xi is an old face. This operation is all brothers who have not shown much face in the south. The Chai family should be satisfied with this arrangement, right? ”

Huang Qi'an nodded, and at the same time glanced at the boss who was wiping the wine glass. Dahan suddenly understood: "You can rest assured that this place we chose, the boss used to be a well-known interstellar pirate, and later joined our Tempest Mercenary Group, and stayed for more than 20 years, and now he is at ease in Jupiter to guard his flower-like wife, but no matter what, they are all their own people, and a lot of our information is obtained from him." ”

After the big man said this, the owner of the tavern stopped what he was doing, nodded and smiled at the two of them. The big man coughed and said, "So, who did the Chai family send to participate in this operation?" ”

Huang Qi'an pointed at himself, and then at Xiao Bai and said, "Except for the person who piloted the cargo spaceship, there are only two people in total who participated in this operation. ”

As soon as his words fell, except for the tavern owner who wiped his wine glass without hearing anything outside the window, 15 pairs of eyes suddenly focused on Xiao Bai, and after looking at it for a while, the big man said angrily: "What does the Chai family mean by this?" Only send you and this kid who only has the refining level to carry out this operation? Can't we use our Tempest Mercenary Group as cannon fodder? ”

Dahan's words made Xiao Bai feel very uncomfortable, but he knew very well that in this place where federal law and legion violence were very weak, fists were the only reason, and it was no wonder that the Tempest Mercenary Group had a contemptuous attitude towards the arrangement of firewood. However, Xiao Bai's forbearance does not mean that Huang Qi'an can forbear, he originally had a good impression of Xiao Bai, and at the same time, because the Tempest Mercenary Group had doubts about Chai Chu, he suddenly said angrily:

"I don't know how Xi Yuanming taught his subordinates, or has the wind direction of the mercenary group changed now? It is even possible to openly question the employer's arrangement! Did the Chai family give you less money for the Tempest Mercenary Group? If not, take the money and go to work. If the employer has any requirements, he will do it if he can do it, and if he can't do it, he will say it clearly, so why bother to pick and choose here and find some inexplicable reasons to prevaricate! ”

Huang Ben'an's words were very polite, which made Xiao Bai suddenly break out in a cold sweat. The source power fluctuations emitted by the 15 people present were all fighters-level powerhouses, and such a force could completely overturn Jupiter's air harbor. But the people in the tavern just fell silent, and the face of the big man at the head changed several times, and finally sat directly on the seat, took two wine glasses and filled them with wine, and then pushed forward:

"It's me who talks too much. I am here to make amends to Captain Huang. Jupiter's tavern is very famous, and the boss buys and brews it every year on the planet Huadu, and if he accepts my apology, he will drink this wine. ”

Dahan's words made Xiao Bai speechless for a while, and even apologized so domineeringly, feeling as if someone else had offended him. Huang Ben'an turned his head and exchanged a look with Xiao Bai, then stepped forward directly, raised the wine glass as big as his head in front of him, and "coo-dong" and was delighted. Xiao Bai also followed Huang Ben'an's example, and brought the wine glass to his lips and almost squirted out after taking a sip.

Nanxing's high-grade sweet wine, although Xiao Bai has not been in it for a long time, he has also drunk a lot with Pei Yong and Chai Jiamu, even on Firebird Star, inferior wine has also been drunk, but it has never been so weird as Jupiter's Que Ye wine. There is a crisp feeling in the mouth, but it soon becomes a strong stimulus that rushes straight to the mouth and nose, and the spicy and slightly bitter smell of wine, after being stained with saliva, rises a large amount of wine mist, which rushes directly into the nasal cavity, and after turning around the nasal cavity, it seems to affect the brain along the skull holes, and this feeling is like a lump of ice frozen with chili water being stuffed into the head, making people want to die.

But in front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Bai couldn't put the unfinished wine glass back on the table at all. Under the intense stimulus, his tears involuntarily swirled in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and poured a whole glass of wine into his stomach. In an instant, I felt that half of my stomach was burning, half was frozen, and my mind was not clear.

Xiao Bai's appearance came from the Storm Mercenary Regiment with a burst of laughter, and the big man led by him slapped the table and said, "Good job!" This little brother is not an ordinary person at first glance, and it is no wonder that Big Boss Chai sent him to participate in this mission. My name is Xue Youman, and everyone in the mercenary group calls me a barbarian, what do you call the little brother? ”

"Xiao Bai!" The young man hiccuped, he began to feel a little like the world was spinning, the people in the Tempest Mercenary Group began to become closer and farther away, Huang Ben'an stared at him as if he was saying something, he obviously heard it, but he couldn't understand what it meant. His legs seemed to be stepping on a puddle of silt, and in the end, Xiao Bai simply sat down in his position, waved his hand and shouted, "When will you start?" ”

Xue Youman secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking that he had drunk this person whom Huang Qi'an respected very much, it seemed that he had played a bit big this time.

He glared and said a little innocently, "The spaceship is being recharged, and it will be about 2 hours before it can depart." ”

Xiao Bai nodded, as if he had understood, but in fact he only understood the pronunciation of each word, but when combined, he didn't know what it meant at all.

Then he lay down on his table and fell asleep without any scruples.

Leaf wine, really he X is strong!
