Chapter 162 The secret behind the storm
“It’s actually him?” Li Ming was slightly surprised.
This Duke Bai Ye is even more of a thief than him. After the Torch Organization announced that Isius's death was caused by them, he quickly ran away.
I didn’t expect to see each other here, but after a little thought, I could imagine it.
Probably they came to avoid the limelight. Although the suspicions of the few of them who witnessed Isius's death were not that great, they had to find a reason for their sudden departure.
There's no better excuse than to come and search for missing goods.
"Duke Bai Ye? Are you sure?" Yaro looked slightly shaken and did not dare to use radar data to lock in to avoid triggering the opponent's early warning mechanism.
You can only use the super-optical eyepiece to observe and stare at the spacecraft, "Sera's Leaf Crown-class spacecraft, Royal Series, not for sale to the outside world, specially customized, eight jump engines, four propulsion engines, this Some have all the configurations, much better than my spaceship."
Yaro was envious, "It is indeed a mount for a big shot."
"It's Duke Bai Ye. This spaceship is mine. I've seen it before." Li Ming rubbed his chin. This old boy had pointed it at him several times. Liang Zi was not that big.
I thought it would be difficult to meet him in a short time after running away, but I didn't expect that the two of them were so destined.
"Thera civilization has also sent B-level life forms here." Upon hearing this, Yaro couldn't help but pessimistically said: "I knew it was a waste of time. Have you seen those shabby battleships?"
He focused the super-optical eyepiece on a battleship that looked quite majestic among the shabby spaceships. It was nearly a kilometer long, with mottled surfaces and traces of battles everywhere.
On the side, a python pattern surrounding the entire battleship is spray-painted.
“The owner of the Scaled Serpent is one of the captains of the Star Hunters, the Snake Speaker—Atom.” Yaro said helplessly: “B-class life forms, cruel and powerful.”
"With both of them watching here, no one can take away the goods."
"Otherwise, let's withdraw." Yaro retreated again, "Junior brother, it's not that I'm a coward. Being afraid of trouble, being sandwiched between two B-level life forms is obviously not something we can do well."
Li Ming didn't respond, which made Yaro's mouth twitch and his face look even more miserable.
After this period of getting along, he has gotten to know this junior brother somewhat, which is obviously a sign of unwillingness to leave.
"Why didn't they fight?" Li Ming asked suddenly.
"Probably because they are still looking for that batch of goods." Yaro speculated: "For now, their common goal is to find that batch of goods. Even if they want to fight, it will only happen after they find that batch of goods."
"We are still helping each other now. The predators only fight for profit. There is no point in fighting now."
At this point, Yaro laughed "hehe" twice. "This planet is not too small. It will probably take them a while to find that batch of goods."
"Where did you put that batch of goods?" Li Ming asked thoughtfully. .
"In a grand canyon, it is a thunderstorm area. On such a planet, the geographical environment is harsh, the magnetic field is disordered, and there are too many interferences." I don't know why Yaro lowered his voice: "The ones in their hands The detector cannot cover the entire planet, nor can it operate in those special environments. I am afraid it will have to be found.”
"Let's go around and see if there is any opportunity to fish in troubled waters." Li Ming said, and Yaluo hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Junior brother, stop fishing. The two of us will go down and become fishes ourselves."
He really didn't expect that his junior brother wouldn't be afraid at all until now.
"Junior brother, you have never been in the interstellar, I tell you, caution is the most important thing." Yaluo said seriously: "This is not Jingnan, no one will protect you."
"Be cautious..." Li Ming agreed, "You are right."
Yaro breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, he was persuaded.
"I am the most cautious person." As he said this, he controlled the spacecraft and began to circle in a large circle. Yaro's mentality exploded and he could only accept the reality.
It took them two full days to reach the other side of the planet.
That is, Yaro's broken spaceship was quite good at concealment. In addition, the spaceships of both sides were confronting each other, so they were not discovered to have sneaked in.
Carefully stick to low-Earth orbit, then fly at low altitude, heading in the direction pointed by Yaro.
"By the way, when looters catch ordinary tourists, they usually ask for ransom from their civilization. Even if they don't succeed, they are sold as slaves and rarely massacred directly." Li Ming suddenly He asked casually, "Is this Atom so cruel?"
Yaro's heart skipped a beat, and he reluctantly explained: "Atom is indeed cruel, and he lost a lot of people in the process, so he was so angry that he went on a killing spree."
"That's right." Li Ming Nodding, Yaro didn't know whether he believed it or not, his eyes flickered.
......
At the same time, outside the low-Earth orbit, in the Scaled Serpent belonging to Atom, it was noisy and lively, and the casually dressed marauders were drinking heavily and shaking their heads. Shaky.
Even if it is daytime, even if you are confronting the enemy, you will not worry.
The man with light cyan skin and curly and messy hair came to the bottom of the battleship. His eyes were like snake eyes, cold and forbidding, and there were fine scales flashing on both sides of the eye sockets.
There are metal cells on both sides. Seeing someone arriving, one of them suddenly became excited and begged: "Please, let me out!"
"I still have children, and Parents..."
"Please..."
Interstellar travel ships or transport ships are full of treasures for predators.
Precious cargo can be robbed, and the living beings in it can be held for ransom. If you encounter a civilization that never negotiates with the plunderers, you can only sell them directly into slavery, or even remove their organs.
The pleas came one after another, but Atom turned a deaf ear. The younger brother behind him had a sinister look on his face. He held an electric baton in his hand and stabbed the outstretched arms fiercely. Along with the bursts of wailing, he laughed wildly.
Soon, Atom found his target in a cell, with an ugly smile on his lips.
This is a member of the Golden Eyes tribe, not a race from the Silver Star Cluster, but from an adjacent star cluster, an advanced civilization commonly known as the Judges.
Although it is also humanoid, it does not have eyes, instead it has a golden vertical pupil.
This person raised his head, and because of his special facial features, it was difficult to detect subtle mood swings.
"The Eye of Judgment. People who are rumored to have evil intentions will have no way to hide under the golden vertical eye." Atom observed carefully and was actually a little scared, then frowned and said:
< br>"Sera's shipment, using the travel ship as a cover, why did the ruling race of the Judger civilization appear on that ship?"
"You should be able to make the decision." This Golden Eyed tribesman He opened his mouth and said in a calm tone, "You plunderers are probably here for money. How much do you want, you give me a price."
"Haha..." Atom shook his head, "Tsk, if you are not short of money, then... There is a bigger secret.”
The man's vertical pupils were slightly closed, and he seemed a little uneasy.
Atom reached out and took out an object with a golden vertical pupil from his arms. The originally calm golden pupil tribesman suddenly became excited. He even wanted to pounce on him, but the gene suppressor on his body made him unable to resist.
"Tell me, what is this?" Atom fiddled with the vertical pupil, which was extremely hard and about the size of a palm.
“The thing I found in your belongings was camouflaged and hidden so deeply, it must be something good.”
The Golden Eyes tribesman stared at him coldly, seeming to contain anger, but stopped talking.
"Obviously, there are bigger secrets, that's good. I like secrets, and my boss likes secrets even more." Atom sneered again and again, "I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains when I went out this time."
Atom put away his golden vertical pupils, then left the cell with his men and closed the door.
Outside the door, the subordinate licked his lips and said: "Boss, it is said that there are some perverted interstellar collectors who are willing to pay a lot of money to collect their vertical pupils."
Atom frowned and said: "Idiot, this is the leading race of advanced civilization. Of course, it should be given to the boss to enjoy first."
The men nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes..."
Walking out of the cell and kicking away a few men dangling around, Atom asked dissatisfiedly: "Have you found that batch of goods? All day long I just know how to drink!”
“Boss, I’m looking for you.” One of the predators looked embarrassed, “You know, it’s okay for us brothers to fight, but it’s really difficult for them to find something. "
"However, we have been keeping an eye on the group of green-headed algae, waiting for them to find us before we start snatching them away."
Atom frowned, his snake eyes glowing in an instant. , everyone in the entire cabin felt cold, and they woke up more than half after drinking the wine, and hurriedly stood up straight.
"My brother, Yaro, the Windbreaker, betrayed me. He took away this batch of goods and embarrassed me." Atom looked around, "So, I must find this batch of goods. No matter what the cost!"
Atom's eyes were full of murderous intent, "If anyone holds me back, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood."
"Yes! "Everyone was scattered, but no one responded. As Atom waved, they dispersed.
The younger brother who was following him quickly added, "Boss, we found out that Yaro seemed to have returned to his home planet not long ago, but he left quickly and seemed to have taken someone with him."
“No one knows where it is currently.”
"Return to the home star." Atom frowned, "Blue Star Civilization? A low-level civilization cannot protect him."
He took the smart terminal handed over by his subordinates, checked the relevant news, and his expression suddenly changed slightly: " The torch killed a prince of the Etlan royal family?"
"Yes, it was on the Jingnan planet, and Yaro hadn't left yet," his subordinate added.
"This Li Ming?" Atom looked through the information and thought he was a special person, but he shook his head: "It's just a D-class life form."
"It seems to be his junior brother. "The subordinates explained that their information channels were all information that had gone through many hands, and most of them were very vague.
Atom's eyes flickered, "Pay close attention to the Land of Stars. He wants to avoid the limelight. The only place he can find is the Land of Stars."
As for this Li Ming, Atom didn't care about it, it's just a D-class life form. .
…………
Li Ming and Yaluo got off the spacecraft. The location of the thunderstorm area was very dangerous and easy to be discovered, so the two had no choice but to disembark early.
Yaro buried most of the spaceship in the soil, barely able to cover it up.
Li Ming was speechless, and Yaro was quite nervous. He originally wanted to wear combat armor, but was dissuaded by Li Ming. There were many acquaintances of his in the predator fleet, and they would be recognized at a glance.
“This is still some distance away from where I hide the goods.” Yaro took out the mimicry mask with dirty corners from his arms. It looked old and even yellowed.
"You mimic mask..." Li Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He was used to living a good life, but suddenly saw such a tight situation, and he was somewhat uncomfortable.
“Don’t underestimate my mimicry mask.” Yaro immediately emphasized, saying: “This is a high-end product, covering the whole head, hair color, cheeks, skin color, all aspects can be changed, and the price is expensive. ”
He carefully placed the mimicry mask on his face. With a few operations, the gel-like film quickly expanded on his face until it covered his entire head.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows lightly. Among other things, Yaluo had a lot of things that he could use to cover up and escape.
"Uh..." Yaro looked at Li Ming proudly, then paused slightly, hesitating, and finally gritted his teeth and took it off, handing it to Li Ming: "Forget it, you can use it."< br>
Li Ming's eyes glanced at the oil stains and unknown gray-brown solidified material in the corner.
"Forget it, I have it myself." Li Ming shook his head and took out a mimicry mask from his arms. Compared with Yaro's, it looked much more refined.
"You have one too?" Yaluo was stunned, but he was not too surprised. He shook his head and said: "Yours is definitely not as good as mine. Such high-end goods can't even find a place in Jingnan civilization..."< br>
Before he could finish his words, he stopped and saw Ming Ming's mimetic mask, which also wrapped around his head and even fit on the pupils, including the ears, and a series of other external features.
It even covers the shoulders, lengthening the shoulders and making some changes in the posture. Although it is only this small detail, it is enough to hide most posture data detection equipment.
After a while, Li Ming turned into a completely different person. He coughed twice and even his voice changed a lot.
C-level mimicry mask is already quite powerful.
“Damn it, a mimic mask that covers your body’s physical signs.” Yaro yelled, and quickly lowered his voice: “Where did you get such a powerful thing?”
Much stronger than the one on his face.
"The teacher gave it to me." Li Ming said casually.
Yaro looked envious, "The old guy is so kind to you."
"Think of a name, but I can't use my real name," Yaro said familiarly: "Call me Crazy Lion."
Li Ming was speechless and thought about it: "Call me Qinglong." He thought of it casually.
"Qinglong..." Yaro repeated, nodded and said: "I suggest that we travel lightly. If we can get through it, we can bring out as much as we can. This trip will not be in vain."
< br>Yaro has more experience in self-brewing than Li Ming, and he can finally put on some airs like his senior brother.
Li Ming was noncommittal, but he took out a can of spray from somewhere and sprayed some on Yaro and himself.
“What is this?” Yaro sniffed and didn’t smell anything.
“It’s used to remove the smell.” Li Ming smiled.
