Chapter 177: Escort

"Ahβ€”β€”!!!h

"Ahβ€”β€”!!!hh

"Da Da Da! Ahhβ€”β€”!!hhh ”

PONY.EIGHTEEN TURNED OFF THE PUBLIC RADIO BROADCAST, ISOLATING THE GUNFIRE AND SCREAMING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VACUUM.

"It's been five minutes since I started. Around the frigates, SMS and transport ships in a rapid retreat. This ship should be ineffective, right? ”

No one spoke for a while.

PONY.Eighteen had to remind again,

"I think that's what the boss said. Let's do it. ”

Yelena swallowed her saliva and asked in a trembling voice,

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the hell is that? ”

Nana glanced at her and lay down in the LCL vacuole,

"Full AGSS readiness, HAYABUSA stealth maneuver, preparation for kamikaze, target enemy drone cruise."

Wangshan rubbed his face, jumped to the fort position, put on the control helmet, and flew into the void with ten fingers,

"Turret authority to me, one target Frigate REC, two target Frigate ECM, three target SMS ......"

PONY.XVIII,

"ICE link ready, SHIELD charged, PPE/SF in place, ECM ready ......"

Seeing that no one cared about herself, Yelena gritted her teeth and pulled up the joystick.

"The driver is in place. Fairway presets. ”

PONY.XVIII, "Γ©pice loading!" ”

Nana took a deep breath,

β€œKAMIKAZE! TOTSUGEKI! ”

The kamikaze shuttle was thrown out of the invisible hull, and three seconds later, the jump battery was activated, turning into a streamer and rushing into the meteorite.

Then the sun lit up the deep sky, and a scarlet crash sign jumped on the holographic radar projection.

YELENA KICKED THE ACCELERATOR, AND HAYABUSA CLIMBED RAPIDLY, WHILE THE DARK GREEN CAST A DARK GREEN LIGHT INTO THE DEEP SKY.

The high-energy laser beam penetrates through the hull, melting the alloy hull instantly, and the metal inside the hull burns violently, like ice cream melted by the flames in an instant. The crew of the ship was instantly vaporized by the dark green evil fire, and there was not even a trace of carbon slag left.

As for those SMS, the entire body melted in an instant, and the nuclear furnace turned into a bright light in the night, and four small suns were lit in succession in the mining area, illuminating the starry sky during the day.

Indeed, the cruiser-class naval guns just hit the guards one at a time, and even the SMS was hit, which is really a bit of a bully.

But Wangshan doesn't matter, isn't what the three-headed dog does every day is this kind of cannon to fight mosquitoes, so he takes care of himself, "Target Eliminated, Target Eliminated, Target Eliminated......" and keeps calling and shooting targets with his eyes closed.

IN SHORT, WITH THE COOPERATION OF EVERYONE, HAYABUSA MANEUVERED BETWEEN THE METEORITES, FIRING A SHOT TO CHANGE POSITIONS, SHOOTING OUT A GREEN LIGHT ROLL CALL, AND DESTROYING FRIGATES AND SMS ONE AFTER ANOTHER. THE OPPOSING FLEET WAS IN THE FRENZY AND CHAOS OF SUDDEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL RAIDS, AND NOT EVEN A SINGLE SHIP COULD FIND THE INVISIBLE TRACES OF HAYABSUA DURING THE WHOLE PROCESS, LET ALONE LOCK ON TO THE TARGET AND ORGANIZE AN EFFECTIVE COUNTERATTACK.

After all, the fleet's scouts and electronic command ships had been destroyed at the first time, and the full-band scan and ICE had been jammed by hackers, and the escort class, which was in the same chain of command, could not capture the hull signal of HAYABUSA.

So much so that HAYABUSA directly bypassed the meteorite area, assaulted the rear of the enemy fleet, and turned to the logistics ship that was trying to retreat and escape in a burst of fierce fire, which smashed the third cruiser into a thousand holes, and finally the engine burst into flames, turning into a brilliant plasma fireball, and then turned back and chased the other frigates that had lost their radar and command, and crashed like headless flies in the mine area.

The whole battle lasted for twenty minutes, and from the time Li Pan jumped out of the cabin alone, it was a low-difficulty moving target and a one-sided massacre.

The heavy assault cruiser remained motionless the entire time, no commands, no radar scans locked, no railguns turned on.

Some are only in the SOS public channel, first miserable, and then gradually disappearing screams.

PONY.XVIII, "The Celestial Realm is emptied, and the target is downed twenty-eight." ”

The number of Wangshan also stopped. The bridge was quiet again, and everyone looked at the only heavy assault cruiser left on the battlefield.

AFTER A MOMENT OF SILENCE, PONY.EIGHTEEN CALLED ON THE PUBLIC FREQUENCY,

"HAYABUSA, Call Tyrant, Call Tyrant Class......"

Wangshan, "That's not a tyrant, it's an old-fashioned lord with a costume." ”

PONY.XVIII, "Oops, whatever!" The boss doesn't recognize it anyway! Boss! Call the boss! Boss! Boss! ”

After several shouts, the communication was finally connected.

"I heard it, I heard it, don't scream."

Li Pan rubbed his forehead, got up from the pool of blood, wiped the blood on his hands and mouth, and looked around.

"Hey, the enemy forces on the ship have been emptied, come and pick me up."

PONY.EIGHTEEN, "OKAY, NOW TAKE THE SHIP." ”

Yelena couldn't help it,

"Wait, wait! Do you really have to rely on the past? Are you sure that's still your manager? Is he really normal now? What does it mean to empty! And how the hell did he get past just now!? ”

Wangshan, "Yes, boss, can you go over, can't you come back by yourself." ”

Li Pan's head buzzed loudly,

"Oh, that's a lot of nonsense! I said come and pick up! This ship is less than 100 million, let me empty the warehouse and drive away! ”

PONY.EIGHTEEN, "LOOKS LIKE THE BOSS." ”

SO YELENA'S OBJECTION WAS INVALID, HAYABUSA TOOK THE SHIP, PONY UNLOCKED THE BRIDGE PRIVILEGES, AND THE VETERANS OF THE SBS BROKE INTO THE LORD-CLASS HEAVY ASSAULT CRUISER-CLASS CABIN WITH LOADED GUNS.

It was really emptied, there were large traces of blood left in the cabin on the deck, the alloy door panels were covered with fists and claw marks, and the door of the hangar was blown away, and the splattered blood looked like a kick kicked the closed security gate away, and the first dozen people behind it were crushed to death on the hangar wall. But when the metal plate was lifted, the body could not be found.

But there was not a single person on board.

Not a single corpse, not a single piece of minced meat.

All the way to the bridge along the bloodstains, even the veterans of the three-headed dog did not dare to rush in like this.

It was PONY. Eighteen trotted into the bridge and squeezed to Li Pan, who was rubbing his brows and lying on the captain's seat with his eyes closed.

"Boss, why is there no one? There are 150 crew members in the system. Have they all been eaten? ”

Li Pan glared at her,

"What nonsense, I just didn't control my emotions for a while, and I haven't gone crazy to that extent......

You clean up the monitoring content, it involves company secrets, and it can't be leaked. ”

Well, Li Pan did stay in deep space for too long just now, and the feeling of being stared at by something was too terrifying, and he lost his reason and self-control and fell into a rampage.

And the mercenaries on the ship were also frightened by the monster that suddenly opened the door and entered the cabin, and fiercely resisted.

In short, both sides were screaming in extreme terror, trying their best to kill each other, but when Li Pan came back to his senses, he found that he had not stopped for a while and killed all the people on board.

But one thing is clear, he doesn't eat people, he eats it all in his 'leather pocket'.

Li Pan himself didn't know exactly what was going on, he speculated that it was probably because when he went on a rampage, his out-of-control divine consciousness accidentally activated the 'leather pocket' magic weapon. As a result, when he came back to his senses, the corpses all over the ground were taken away by the 'leather pockets'.

And Li Pan himself lost a lot of energy because of this, and fainted after being exhausted for a while, but recovered from the uncontrollable state. But the divine consciousness has also suffered a huge loss, so that now that he has regained his human form, he is still a little dizzy, and he has a terrible headache, which is clearly the sequelae of overuse of magic weapons.

But in short, just win the war, the winner does not need to explain, must ask is the company's technology, shocking.

Anyway, the Jinsen Chamber of Commerce was shocked.

Wow!! Do you dare to believe that a single destroyer destroys a ship? A single ship picks a fleet, bursts twenty-eight ships and captures one, do you dare to believe it?

Landing on a cruiser without a spacesuit, killing all 150 people and eating them all, can you believe it!?

Anyway, no matter how Li Pan explained, it was useless, who told him to tell PONY to delete all the surveillance. Ye Lena is looking at Li Pan now like a cannibal, lowering her head to avoid his gaze, probably not daring to come to Li Pan to take a bath with her in the future.

However, there is nothing surprising about Wangshan, after all, in the long military career of the three-headed dog veterans, it cannot be said that they have not seen monsters of the level of Li Pan, although there are indeed not many......

But after all, this is an era when companies can create supermen and monsters at will, and who doesn't have a hundred and fifty lives in their hands? Although there are one hundred and fifty people in the stomach, it is indeed not much......

"That's why I didn't eat anyone!"

Hearing the rumors on the ship, Li Pan was going crazy.

"I know, I 'see' it."

Nana didn't mind, found Li Pan, who was in the restaurant, changed into clean clothes, and was eating nutritional paste to recover her physical strength, and reported the statistics of the battle loss this time.

"The enemy fleet has been completely wiped out, and the Kanamori Chamber of Commerce has confirmed the ID of the deceased, and the other party is the mercenary organization 'Jackal Regiment', which belongs to the contracted armed forces under the 'REA Rifle Enthusiasts Association'.

REA is also the PMC military contractor of the Heavens Universe, and the local mercenary group without a business license can pay to join and become its contracted armed forces, and can accept the company's business assignment, or accept the task freely, and divide the account.

Kanamori Trading Co., Ltd. speculated that because of the recent corporate war, the demand for black oil had skyrocketed, so other black oil agents with competing relationships hired 'jackals' with the intention of getting rid of their agents and gaining a larger share of black oil sales.

IN THIS BATTLE, HAYABUSA DESTROYED TWENTY-EIGHT HOSTILE TARGETS AND CAPTURED A LORD-CLASS HEAVY ASSAULT CRUISER. In order to thank us for our security services, the Kanamori Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy back the captured Lord-class cruisers, and since we are not a legitimate PMC company, they propose to settle the mercenary bonus and reimburse the fuel and ammunition consumption according to the custom of citizen starships to assist in the suppression of pirates, according to the value of the enemy ships that our ship has sunk. ”

Li Pan immediately came to the spirit,

"Oh? So how much is it in total? ”

Nana calculated,

"The lord class is an old ship that has been retired for a long time, although this one has covered armor and updated and upgraded, but it has been in service for a long time, at least more than ten years, and there are many traces of battle damage, modification and overhaul, and the internal structure has been damaged by you, it can only be estimated that it is eight million.

And the bounty for killing interstellar pirates in the fleet is customary to calculate 10% of the cost of the downed enemy ships, but the other party's ships are all old-fashioned warships, plus the deduction of taxes, it is estimated that the bounty will be 20 to 30 million, right?

There are also some bits and pieces of equipment recycling, fuel and ammunition costs, and I think the Jinsen Chamber of Commerce will probably pay a bonus of 50 million. ”

Li Pan was not happy when he heard it,

"Huh? Only 50 million? What a fool! That kamikaze knocked out 30 million yes! That's three cruisers, six escorts, and a whole bunch of SMS drones! At least it's a billion-level combat power fleet, okay!

Think about it clearly, this fleet is here to copy his Jinsen family! We helped him solve such a big trouble, and only gave 50 million?? How embarrassing?? ”

Nana did the math and contacted that side again.

"They are willing to increase the commission reward to Panlong Construction to 100 million, and provide you with a personal thank you fund of 200 million black money."

"Oh, that's okay...... I relied on the 200 million, and it wasn't Lao Tzu who gave it to him!! ”

Li Pan was also speechless, feeling that he was still at a loss. But after all, these pirates are also here to rob the black oil, and half of it is his own problem. And you can't offend the Jinsen Chamber of Commerce too much, after all, you still expect to make a lot of money by relying on other people's black oil channels in the future. What's more, this time I also got a cruiser laser battery for free from others, although it is more than 5 million things, but now I can't get it on the market.

Anyway, let's do it for now.

AFTER A SHORT BREAK, HAYABUSA SET SAIL AGAIN, LEAVING THE MINE AND JUMPING ONTO THE OFFICIAL ACCELERATION TRACK, HANDING OVER CONTROL TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

PONY.XVIII also shared the fleet bearing channel with the other XVIII updates, and obtained protection from the company's fleet. Then the ship began to accelerate towards Callisto.

In fact, traveling the universe and conquering the galaxy is quite boring.

Most of the time in the vacuum, most of the space, there is no fart, and there is a black rumbling. There is no such magnificent view as astronomical photographs.

In addition, Li Pan himself has been staring at the darkness for too long, and he will have a phobia. So in the later stage, Li Pan didn't even go to the bridge, so he kept squatting in the canteen, consuming the carbohydrate rations on the ship, while spitting back Qi and cultivating in the universe to restore his strength.

Alas, if there are two people who come to the universe double cultivation, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but unfortunately Nana wants to lead the way, and Yelena is so frightened that she hides in the cabin, so she can only miss this good opportunity.

BUT FINALLY, AFTER A FEW HOURS OF SAILING, HAYABUSA FINALLY ARRIVED IN THE JUPITER UNIVERSE.

Jupiter, the lair of the cosmic man, the node of the heavens and all worlds, and the location of the star gate.

As soon as you enter the celestial domain, the radar is filled with dense light spots and planned shipping lanes.

Li Pan held the bowl and looked out through the camera, and he could also see a large piece of neat and orderly starlight, which were all starship cargo ships that shuttled back and forth between the 0791 and 079 planes and belonged to major companies.

There is also an exceptionally large battleship.

The battleship resembled a giant mallet, a humpback whale with a large head and a thin tail, occupying most of the passage of space. So much so that hundreds of firefly-like spots of light can only sail around the whale.

And if you take a closer look at the radar scanning, those 'fireflies' are actually standard-sized super-large spanal industrial freighters, PPE vent tail flames.

At this time, compared with the whale, it is only the size of krill, and the tonnage of this head whale is even more staggering.

Oh, it's the Titans......

! Which company hangs so much! Actually drove all the Titans over?? This is here to fight the Holy Grail Bidding War with Lao Tzu???

Then Li Pan received a communication from Eighteen, and then a metal human prosthetic body wearing a formal suit with a face like polished mirror glass appeared on the communication channel.

"General Manager 0791, I am a subordinate of the 01 Business Department, 01032, and I was ordered to lead the Neptune-class Titans to escort you, and your ship has been authorized to enter our shipyard."

Oh, it's our own family, so it's okay......

Li Pan, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." ”

Not to mention the whole crew of the ship, Nana, the three-headed dog, the golden retriever lion king, saw that the titan took over HAYABUSA's automatic navigation, and the cruiser was like a paramecium, slowly sailing into the giant whale's fins to anchor into the harbor, and their eyes widened, revealing "!" Company Dogs! The shocked expression.

Even Li Pan was a little flattered.

it? The company is silent, and specially arranges a Titan to pick up the escort? Isn't that an exaggeration......

"No, I didn't come to pick you up, I just happened to drop by and take you for a ride."

01032 corrected,

"I'm here to reclaim the monsters in 0791 Jupiter."

"Monsters in Jupiter?"

Before Li Pan could ask clearly, at this time, the radar suddenly began to alarm, and the dazzling red light almost illuminated the entire sea of stars!

For a while, Li Pan almost thought that the Titan main cannon had been fired at him, but fortunately it wasn't.

In the midst of a dazzling radiance of the stars, the door opened.

Two huge spaceships with hideous faces, fierce and terrifying, like some kind of steel two-headed dragon, almost no smaller than the size of a humpback whale! Emerge from the stargate!

The second one! the second Titan!

No! Wrong! And that's not all! It's two ships coming in one!

Wait a minute! There is another inducement!

On the holographic radar, the channel near the stargate has been obscured on all sides by huge mushroom cloud-like light spots, one after another, giant ships that cannot be identified, locked, or ignored, cross the boundary of the 'gate' and enter the 0791 universe.

HAYABUSA IS TREMBLING, LITERALLY.

Buzzing, like an earthquake, the alloy all squeaked and twisted with a mournful sound, and under this sudden, strong gravitational tear, it almost disintegrated!

Just being within the gravitational range of these giant ships, you can feel the huge terrifying pressure in the deep sea!

HAYABUSA'S SENSORS HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THEIR EFFECTIVENESS UNDER THE INTERFERENCE OF THESE TITANS, AND THE CREW CAN ONLY STARE WITH BATED BREATH IN THE DIM LIGHT OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS, NOT EVEN DARING TO COME OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

At this time, Li Pan, who was linked to the company's channel, was also numb when he saw the celestial star map shared by 01032.

Good guys, six, a total of six Titans came, blocking the door of the 0791 star.

What are you doing? Yes? What are you going to do? Do you have a tea party???

01032 explained,

"0791035 project got out of hand, and when the Holy Grail touched the root of the festival, the SEC sent a high-dimensional warship to check it out. 0791 You should have received a briefing. ”

Li Pan, "Oh......"

01032 said, "The ship was lost, and they were attracted by Jupiter's sudden burst of high-energy reaction, jumped near Jupiter and vanished. From all eleven dimensions. ”

Li Pan, "Oh...... What does it mean? ”

001032, "I don't know either, so I'll come and have a look." ”

Li Pan, "Oh...... Or ...... A little more of the Holy Grail? Maybe there's a reaction? ”

01032 Shake your head,

"There is no need for that for the time being, and at present, this astronomical anomaly has been auctioned by the SEC, and the company that wins the bid can assist the SEC in leading the investigation of this astronomical anomaly and sharing all scientific research data.

I'm in charge of this bidding project, and it won't affect your Holy Grail bidding for the time being. However, after the auction is over, the company that bought the astronomical vision will probably have a strong interest in the Holy Grail. ”

Wow, why do you still have to bid, you all lost an 11-dimensional super battleship, the first thing you have to do is not to find a ship quickly, but to do an auction? It's worthy of interstellar capitalism......

It wasn't his turn to worry about that. Although he is the general manager of 0791, the subsidiary is actually responsible for the monster recovery and storage business.

The Holy Grail Bid is just an example, and in most cases, the business involving commercial bidding with the SEC and large companies is the responsibility of the 01 headquarters.

You didn't look at 01032, didn't you come with the Titan without saying a word?

This kind of thing, the headquarters does not need to inform Li Pan and report to the subsidiary.

But it's okay, Li Pan has enough troubles of his own, and he knows that the ship is for even more terrible things, so he can't get involved.

AND HAYABUSA HAPPENED TO TAKE A RIDE, FLYING DIRECTLY INTO THE TITAN FOR A TEMPORARY DOCK, ESCORTED BY THE TITAN, AND ANCHORED INTO CALLISTO AND CARISTO'S THEM COMPANY SPACE BASE.
