Walk alone in the abyss

"Whoa! Get rid of them!"

Kolev shouted excitedly, turned his head to look at the empty star field behind him, his face was full of complacency.

The dozen or so drones started dancing in circles like headless chickens.

Yang Ming also heaved a sigh of relief.

The sense of crisis brought about by space navigation cannot be overcome by physical strength; just now, the dozen or so drones have started the shooting down procedure and fired a series of laser shells at them.

This kind of maintenance boat does not have an energy shield, and it can dodge that wave of offensive, all thanks to Yang Ming's unstructured control.

Microgravity, casual waves, unconstrained imagination.

Kolev took over the square rudder, and the spaceship galloped towards the established coordinate point.

"Relax Mate Hunton! We're over it, and in a few minutes you'll see my beautiful and lovely daughter! Oh, don't you think of her, old bone I won't get used to you."

The more Kolev said, the more confident he became.

The image of the guy next to him knocking the girl unconscious after a wet kiss came to Kolev's mind.

Kolev turned his head and looked at Yang Ming vigilantly: "You won't bewitch her, will you? You need to answer me directly."

"Of course not," Yang Ming spread his hands, "I am a decent man, and I guarantee it with the glory of the empire."

Kolev nodded, and then felt something was wrong.

For the time being, Yang Ming has no interest in these matters between men and women.

Survival is the first need.

Kolev glared at Yang Ming again: "Let me just believe you, my dear mate, your body and your sneaky eyes are really attractive to women, but you have to believe that pirates are not promiscuous. synonymous with my daughter’s education, I am very conservative.”

Yang Ming shrugged: "I promise not to look at her too much, first officer Kolev, we are partners, and she is my niece. I would only attack my niece if I was a beast."

"Oh, forgive me," Kolev smiled. "This is a father's worry. Although I know that she will have a partner sooner or later, she just doesn't want to. She is the kind of person who likes to cling to the strong."

"Kolev, how long have you been in Port Cole Prison?"

"Four years, probably," Kolev shook his head, "Although I was deliberately detained, the reasons for this were very complicated. The situation at the time was chaotic. When we were purchasing a batch of equipment, the Peace Guards suddenly appeared. ..."

Kolev paused in his words, his eyes revealing a bit of thought.

Yang Ming did not continue to inquire.

A faint light appeared in the airspace ahead.

They seem to be sailing in an ocean without substance, and the faint light is a beacon to guide the course.

"Look!"

Kolev said with a smile: "Those little brats have already found us, let's wait and see if they can contact us, this is also a test question, you know, when we want to rob a merchant ship, we must first Hack their systems."

Yang Ming could see the unconcealable pride and relief on the old man's face.

So, after waiting like this for two minutes, the small maintenance boat moving at full speed got closer to the shining point.

"Oh," Kolev's old face became gloomy, "is there any difficulty? I have modified every ship, and I only need to press a few buttons, in order, and press a few buttons! Damn! They are too slow Already!"

Zizi——

There was a faint sound of electromagnetic interference from the spacecraft console.

"Well, cough," a sweet female voice suddenly appeared, "This is the new federal investigation ship, and our ship will conduct a security inspection of your ship."

"Come on!" Kolev scolded, "Your actions are really efficient!"

"dad?"

The sweet girl's voice became full of surprises: "Dad! Is it really you? Stop the main gun, stop! Don't target my dad! Dad, you really escaped!"

There were also noisy noises from there, there were men and women, it was very mixed, and they didn't sound young.

"Oh! It's Captain Kolev! It's Kolev!"

"I knew it! He'll be back! A peaceful prison won't hold him!"

"Hahaha! I can finally have a drink with peace of mind tonight!"

Yang Ming muttered, "Kolev, can I ask you a question?"

"certainly."

"How old is your daughter now?"

"Twenty years old, if according to the general method of the Galaxy, twenty-one years old."

"That is to say, when you were arrested, cough, and took the initiative to go to prison, your daughter was sixteen or seventeen years old?" Yang Ming's eyes were somewhat shocked.

"Yes," Kolev laughed, "I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, my daughter is a complete pirate, no one is more professional than her, no one!"

The radio brought his daughter's hesitant voice:

"Dad, I may not be as good as you think, I... who was speaking just now?"

Kolev: "My first mate."

Yang Ming: "His captain."

Kolev smiled and said: "This is my new partner. We haven't decided who will lead the other party yet. But rest assured, my daughter. Since I have given you the Black Dragon Pirates, it will not affect your prestige , I will become your most reliable consultant, and I will go to a strange star field to recruit new crew members."

"Father, let's talk when you come back," the daughter's voice was a little guilty, "I need to report something to you, you go ahead, I will open the tail cabin for you."

Kolev and Yang Ming looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.

The voice of Kolev's daughter is indeed sweet.

However, he wasn't that stunned young man like Hanton, how could Yang Ming affect his relationship with Kolev because of this kind of lower body matter?

Yang Ming clicked on the small microphone on the front screen, making it fit with a red circle, so that Kolev's daughter could not hear their chat temporarily.

"Well, Kolev, you can get the gene stabilizer, right?" Yang Ming asked.

Kolev grinned: "Of course, there will always be one or two fighters in a pirate group who strengthen themselves with genetic modification, or equip themselves with mechanical prosthetics to increase their combat effectiveness.

"An old friend of mine transformed himself into a mechanical octopus. There are eight mechanical arms extending from his back, which are directly connected to his nerve center. He can easily suppress the powerful mechanical guards of the merchant group. This kind of fighter usually They are all the trump cards of the pirate group...you are also my trump card, Mate Hanton, so don't worry about these little things."

"Kolev, my career plan is to be your captain."

Yang Ming corrected him, and then said:

"I need to replace the gene-stabilizing medicine early. This bottle of medicine has a positioning device."

"Don't worry too much about this," Kolev said, "Nano-level positioning devices are divided into two types, which actively emit signals and passively accept detection. No matter which type has a distance limit, the universe is boundless. After the transition is completed, anyone can Can not find you."

"You are very learned, Kolev."

"It's just the basic literacy of a pirate."

"What did you do before you became a pirate?" Yang Ming asked casually, leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Kolev sighed: "Senior fitter."

"Then why did you become a pirate?"

"You should also pay attention to the atmosphere when you ask other people's stories, Hanton," Kolev stared at the sea of ​​stars in front of him, his cloudy old eyes filled with memories, "If there is a choice, no one wants to be a wanted criminal..."

Yang Ming looked at the pirate ship that was getting closer.

It looks a bit old and scarred, like seeing a sailing ship from the last century in the age of steel warships.

The 100-meter-long hull and the crudely piled weapons and equipment all showed its mediocre combat effectiveness.

In about a minute or two, they will be able to complete the docking.

Kolev controlled the maintenance boat and continued to slow down, slowly speaking:

"When I was young, I also had a great ideal to contribute to my civilization, but ideals are ideals after all. Corruption, drug addiction, promiscuity, people around me are all pursuing low tastes and civilizing themselves. I stripped off my coat, revealing the true colors of a beast, my first wife betrayed me just like that..."

"Kolev!"

Yang Ming's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and he stared at the starboard side.

Kolev: "When I got home that day, I went back early to celebrate the first wedding anniversary with her, I heard the sound from the kitchen, that beast-like humming sound I still can't forget .Oh, I gave her everything I could, my salary, my credit line, my circle of friends...”

"Kolev, you have to come and take a look!"

Yang Ming's voice was more urgent.

But Kolev fell into the painful memory and couldn't extricate himself.

"You know what I saw? Oh, those two women, my first wife and my neighbor, fit together like wild dogs. My wife just betrayed me. I never thought But the first time in my life I was exposed to an overmedicated maniac, it was my naked wife and neighbors. That's when my childish world fell apart, you know, Hunton, when I... oh, what is this? "

Yang Ming raised his hand to rest his forehead.

Outside the starboard window, faint ripples appeared in the space, as if a tsunami visible to the naked eye was brewing in the void.

This is not normal physics.

"The ripples of the jump! These are the ripples only for short-distance directional jumps!" Kolev shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the layers of ripples suddenly dissipated, and a two-hundred-meter-long silver-white battleship appeared silently in space. The exaggerated high-energy ray main gun was aimed at the pirate ship not far away.

"It's a warship! This is the firepower ship of the Guell Union!"

Kolev's old face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Damn it, why is there a warship here? We can't escape the range of its main guns, oh! God! Get out of there!"

"Father! Move faster!" Her daughter's voice sounded a little flustered, "There is a warship ambushing here!"

"Calm down, Kolev, there is a high probability that I got you in trouble."

Yang Ming pulled the square rudder over and held it tightly with both hands.

"But Kolev, since I have come out, I absolutely don't want to fall into their hands. I don't want to be locked in those transparent jars, soaked in those nutrient solutions with unknown ingredients, and spend the rest of my life with my own excrement. .

"We must escape! We must be able to escape!"

"This is crazy, Hanton," Kolev whispered, "We can't fight against the warships of the regular army, even if it's just a 200-meter-class flanker, it's not..."

The old man paused, adjusted his breath a few times, and turned his head to look at the gun barrel that seemed to have reached their necks, and the pirate ship locked by the main gun of the warship.

"I'm getting old," Kolev said, "but I haven't lost the courage to challenge the strong. Next, I will follow your command, Interim Captain Hanton."

"Okay, Kolev's interim first mate! Accelerate!"
