Chapter 188: Expedition to Sherman
"Feel sorry."
Boss Yang finally rejected this approach.
With the beauty in front of him and after the battle, he felt a little angry, but he also had his own persistence.
Mimi Li looked at Yang Ming in confusion. She puffed up her lips and asked in confusion, "Why? Am I not attractive enough to you?"
"You are a fascinating woman."
Yang Ming gave a fair evaluation:
"And I think there is no sense of restraint between us. We are used to interstellar travel, and comforting each other is allowed and accepted, and we are all healthy.
“But Mimili, we are living beings, not machines.
"We are using our reproductive instincts to pleasure ourselves and bring us closer together, rather than in this way."
Yang Ming picked up the two simple helmets and whispered:
"No offense, but I feel that purer and more authentic communication can elevate our emotions."
Mimily frowned slightly, her gem-like eyes sparkling.
Yang Ming smiled and asked, "Am I not attractive enough to you?"
"No, no," Mimi bit her lip lightly and put down the helmet in her hand. "I'm not sure if I can accept this form, but I'm willing to try it because the target is you, Hanton."
Yang Ming squinted his eyes and smiled, guiding her with his eyes.
Mimili took a half step back somewhat uncomfortably, and Yang Ming took the opportunity to put his hand against the wall, staring at Mimili.
Mimily was very tall, and at the moment she was leaning back slightly, her toes swaying slightly, with her hands behind her back.
Yang Ming stretched his neck and tried to kiss her, Mimili subconsciously closed her eyes...
A few minutes later.
Yang Ming and Mimili stood face to face. Yang Ming had already retracted his arm, and Mimili's lipstick was a little messy.
"You really don't feel anything?" Yang Ming asked in a low voice.
"Sorry, I don't seem to be sensitive to physical contact," Mimi Li said apologetically, "Now that I have tried your method, can you try mine?"
"Sure, well, I mean it's only fair."
Yang Ming scratched his head.
Although we kissed just now, I still feel that it is somewhat...
Yes, frustration.
Mimilee wasn't pretending.
Yang Ming, who has been in battle for a long time, can certainly judge her condition.
There is no physical impulse.
Mimili excitedly fiddled with the two helmets, and Yang Ming was a little nervous. After all, that was an area he had never been involved in.
"Sorry to bother you."
Lu's voice suddenly appeared.
Mimiri quickly hid the helmet behind her.
Yang Ming asked: "Is there any emergency? Why would you choose to disturb me at this time?"
"Yes, boss," Ritsu said softly, "You need to come to the bridge. I found traces of your old enemy."
Yang Ming looked at Mimi Li, who immediately made a gesture of invitation and forced herself to remain calm: "Just get down to business first, Uncle Hanton, I will stay in Luofeng for a few days, we still have a lot of time."
"Well," Yang Ming said, "You can rest here when I come back."
Mimi nodded in response, and Yang Ming had already opened the cabin door and hurried towards the bridge.
After he left, Mimili was obviously relieved. She bit her lips lightly, frowned and thought about something. The simple helmet in her hand was activated and deactivated by her, and she repeated this several times.
Yang Ming, who rushed to the bridge, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu's projection is right in front of the cockpit.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Well done, Lu! Perfect score for the rescue!"
"Uh," Ritsu blinked.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Aren't you helping me out because you see I'm too embarrassed?"
"You are wrong. I support you trying new fields," Lu pointed to the projection screen next to him, "but now, you have to take a look at this."
Yang Ming's smile suddenly froze on his face.
He sat back in the captain's chair, calming himself as he stared at the pictures and videos Ritsu showed him.
Ever since the last exploration ship accidentally discovered traces of Valkyrie killing insects, Lu has been searching along the discovered area.
A few months later, with the continued injection of funds from its parent company, the size of Mollymiss Mining Group has increased again.
They swallowed up two small mining companies and obtained several valuable mining and exploration licenses, as well as more survey equipment and ships.
These ships spread out a large net and continued to search the nearby airspace, and finally obtained some useful clues.
About three hours ago, a mining and surveying vessel of the Mollymis Mining Group discovered a suspicious ship.
The image on the projection screen in front of Yang Ming was frozen on this 300-meter-long cargo ship painted blue and white.
"This is a cargo ship," Lu explained. "It has good overall performance and can be used for both passenger and cargo. The ship's name is Charming Blue... Half a year ago, the ship was reported lost."
"Report it lost?" Yang Ming wondered, "Can a boat be reported lost?"
"It means it's missing," Lu groaned for a few seconds, "It was predicted that it encountered a disaster during the voyage. There were more than 40 passengers on board at the time, as well as cargo worth 60 million Imperial Coins. The local government sent a large number of ships to search, and the military also mobilized several advanced exploration ships. The final result was that it was confirmed to be missing."
She added, "The universe is too vast, the distances between planets are too great, and all kinds of unexpected phenomena happen from time to time. Although confirming a missing person is not the same as confirming a crash, we can stop the search according to Imperial law and international conventions."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "You mean, the Valkyrie kidnapped this ship?"
"From now on, this speculation is quite possible."
The law said quickly:
"Although we didn't capture the footage of the Valkyrie entering and exiting the Blue, the probe ship captured the Blue hovering near a star to recharge its energy."
The scene switched, and the Blue was floating next to an orange-yellow star. It looked extremely small at first, but as the view zoomed in, the overall appearance of the ship was revealed.
It was quiet, without any lights, and only three emergency charging panels were open.
——This type of short-distance spacecraft usually replenishes energy at the spaceport. In order to reduce costs during design, it is only equipped with emergency charging panels.
"When I realized that something was wrong with this spacecraft, I began to search the entire monitoring network we had set up, as well as the data records of the Imperial Maritime Bureau, and soon made new discoveries.
"This is the only other photo that can be found now, taken from the corner of a photo taken by an unmanned prospecting ship."
The third picture appeared in front of Yang Ming.
In the picture, the stern cabin of the blue cargo ship is open, floating quietly in the space, quiet and without lights, just like a coffin, like a carrier of ghosts.
Yang Ming couldn't sit still any longer.
He stood up and began to pace back and forth, with flashes of light in his eyes from time to time.
A Valkyrie taking control of a ship?
It wasn't hard for her to do this, it just required simple application of mind control.
At this point in time, the Valkyrie has definitely recovered her strength. She has taken the initiative to seek out the Zerg to gain power. She must be more powerful now than the last time she appeared.
What's even more difficult is that she began to let go of her pride as an ancient god and started to learn to adapt!
She has infinite possibilities for evolution;
She is very smart;
She also hid some girlish underwear under her combat uniform, which shows that she actually has human elements.
Of course, there isn’t much of a human element left.
What should I do about this?
I can't get into a stalemate with her, otherwise she will constantly get new support.
If she changes her mind, she might even take the initiative to seek reconciliation with the Empire!
A decision must be made immediately.
If you don't want to take action, then hide. If you want to take action, don't give her the chance to resist!
Yang Ming slowly clenched his fists and his breathing became heavy.
Ritsu watched him with some concern, but wisely chose to remain silent at this moment.
"Send Mimili and Kolev back first," Yang Ming said. "We need more intelligence and help from within the Sherman Empire. We need to exaggerate the harm that the Valkyrie is doing to the empire, and it would be best if we could kill someone with a borrowed knife... Of course, I think there's a high chance that the Valkyrie will still find me."
"Boss," Lu said slowly, "As long as we ensure that the Valkyrie and the Sherman Empire are in an absolutely hostile state, we will be invincible."
"Make a few plans and we'll plan this carefully."
Yang Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He stared at the projection screen in front of him, his eyes gradually becoming more sinister.
Don’t be afraid, if you are afraid you will lose half.
If you can win the first time, you may not lose now.
But Yang Ming soon thought of another thing, which is the Valkyrie's way of preserving her life. She can leave a group of cells in her base, so that even if the main body encounters danger, she can commit suicide directly.
She had already performed a similar trick last time.
How can we completely eliminate her?
Yang Ming fell into a long period of contemplation.
…
Half an hour later.
"How many months will you be away?"
In the three-dimensional projection, Edwang frowned and looked at Yang Ming.
"Ming, you can't always run outside. There are so many political and military affairs that you need to keep an eye on them!"
"This time is different from last time," Yang Ming said with a smile, "This time I can continue to observe Luo Feng. Before, I had to isolate myself from the signal. Also, the time I will be out this time is not certain. If I am fast, I can be back in half a month."
Edwan frowned and said, "What on earth are you busy with?"
Yang Ming sighed: "Some important matters concerning life safety."
"It's been a long time since we sat together to drink and eat barbecue... Well, we all have our own things to do."
Edwang shrugged and smiled at Yang Ming.
"Keep working hard, young man. Remember not to force yourself. You can always rely on me."
Yang Ming immediately smiled with relief.
Although Edwan's wording made him feel a little bit morbid.
After hanging up the call, Yang Ming looked forward and saw that the crew had been gathered again.
Mimili didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. This 'Star Widow', who had not yet developed to her full form, already had strong psychological adaptability at this stage.
"Was that the emperor of Luofeng Empire just now?" Mimili asked with her arms folded and her brows frowned.
Kolev smiled and said, "I've already said that we have the final say in the Luofeng Empire now. This is not a joke."
Mimily shrugged slightly.
Yang Ming sighed, walked up to the group, and said slowly, "Kolev, Mimili, we have to separate temporarily. I need to deal with a difficult enemy. The Feinan will send you back later. I will go to the new battleship."
Kolev nodded immediately. "Go ahead, Captain. I will help you keep an eye on the Luofeng Industrial Federation and work hard to become a chemical and energy oligarch."
"Oligarch is not a nice word," Yang Ming sneered, and Kolev immediately winked.
"Can I go help you?"
Mimili asked suddenly.
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then stared at Mimili with a frown.
Mimili's fighting ability is not very strong. After all, she is just an ordinary person, and a woman who does not have a physical advantage.
However, her speed in handling affairs, her control over the overall situation, and her ability to negotiate with others are all outstanding.
Even if the 'Starry Sky Widow' has not fully grown up, she is still a 'quasi' legendary figure that should not be underestimated.
Yang Ming felt that he had to deal with the Valkyrie now.
Firstly, it was because the Dongfeng gave him a certain courage;
Secondly, it is discovered that the Valkyrie may have begun to use existing social resources in her own way, which is an extremely dangerous signal;
Furthermore, the appearance of the Blue Charm gave Yang Ming a clear goal.
Finding a ship in space is much easier than looking for an elusive humanoid ancient god creature.
If Mimily could help herself...
"You hesitated," Mimili said, "I can feel that you really want me to go with you. Do you have any concerns?"
"It's very dangerous," Yang Ming said, "If I'm not his opponent, you will most likely not be able to survive."
Mimily frowned slightly.
She thought for a few seconds and then said, "I think this kind of enemy is more challenging, and you need my help more, Uncle Hanton."
Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly.
Mimili crossed her arms and smiled slightly, her starry eyes staring at Yang Ming with a bit of undisguised admiration.
After careful consideration, she found a solution to the difficulty of in-depth communication between the two .
You can wear a helmet to communicate simultaneously in virtual and real life.
That must have felt great.
“Oh!”
The little old man, Kolev, jumped into their sight, interrupting the gaze between the man and the woman.
"I want to go too!" Kolev shouted, "A wise first mate can give the young captain valuable life experience at a critical moment! You must take me with you! If you want to take Mimili with you!"
Mimi Li frowned and said, "Dad, it's time for you to retire. You should go back and have a good rest and take care of yourself."
"The old pirate never tires!"
Kolev pinched his waist and shouted:
"I'm going on a great adventure!"
Yang Ming: "Then you might as well go with those old ladies..."
Kolev rushed over, raised his hand to cover Yang Ming's mouth, turned his head and said to Mimi Li: "He agreed, my dear daughter, with your father here, you may have to make do with being the second or third mate."
The projection of Lu calmly said, "I am the second mate."
"I'm the third mate," Mimi said, "but I don't want to be in charge of maintenance and firefighting. "
026, who was wearing maintenance clothes, curled his lips.
Tsk.
Ship status -1.
"Then we will take half a day to rest," Yang Ming said, "After half a day, we will start to go deep into the heart of the Sherman Empire to look for a ghost ship. At the right time, I will let Lu reveal some confidential information to you."
Kolev asked, "So, what is the specific plan?"
Yang Ming said: "As for the plan, the law is still being formulated. As for emergencies, I haven't considered it too thoroughly for now."
Flow saving: No plans.
