Chapter 21: Leap! Leap!
Yang Ming stared at the pirate ship right in front of him.
He adjusted the square rudder slightly and pushed it to a slightly larger gear. He had to shorten the last minute or two of the voyage as much as possible.
Yang Ming said quickly:
“Let your daughter prepare for the jump in advance. We need to rush in right before the jump is completed, otherwise there is no need to implicate them.
"Make sure we can receive their surrender signal and establish communication with them. I will try my best to delay them."
Kolev immediately began to operate with his head down, using the encrypted channel to reconnect with his pirate ship.
The old man's voice regained its composure.
"Mimili, I'm now remotely controlling the ship. A warship has appeared here. Don't worry, they won't open fire easily. Do you remember our specialty?"
Mimily? Which Mimily? His daughter's name is Mimily?
Yang Ming was suddenly startled, but there was no way he could be distracted at this moment.
"Okay, Dad! I'm not worried, I'm very excited now!" Mimili's voice trembled a little.
"Give me the authority...yes, that's it."
A three-dimensional projection appeared on the glass cube in Kolev's hand, depicting the hull of the pirate ship in front.
Hiss, this is the sound of electromagnetic interference.
A familiar woman's voice came from the center console of the maintenance boat.
It's Lina!
"Hanton, I can forgive your rudeness, but now you must come back with me, otherwise I would rather destroy you."
"Really, Lina?"
Yang Ming turned his head and looked to the starboard side, then pushed the rudder forward again. The intense push on his back made him feel a little excited.
"I apologize to you for the intense physical collision between us, but Lina, you and I both know how miserable I would be if I went back with you. I just learned a phrase Lina."
Yang Ming looked up at the pirate ship in front of him.
A deep blue halo appeared above the pirate ship, on the left and right sides, and on the front deck at the same time, and the entire pirate ship was slowly covered with a layer of film.
Generally speaking, films of this color are usually low-level defensive energy shields.
The pirates seemed ready for a fight.
But when Yang Ming turned his head to look at Kolev, he found that there was more excitement in Kolev's eyes.
Although Yang Ming didn't know the details, he understood that the pirate ship's "protective shield" was very famous. He now had to do his best to save the ship.
Yang Ming said: "Don't make me hate you, Lina, don't hurt the friends I just met."
"Hanton, this pirate ship can't withstand a single attack from our main guns. This level of protective shield is like a blank sheet of paper," Lina said, "You have no way to escape, Handon, didn't you just learn a sentence? We can communicate face to face, I will hold your hand and forgive your previous recklessness."
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds.
He saw the excitement in Kolev's eyes.
Following Kolev's eye signals, Yang Ming steadily steered the maintenance boat, letting it slowly turn sideways and aim at the gap at the stern of the pirate ship.
The azure light film flowed towards the tail like water.
"Lina, I can go back with you."
Yang Ming said, "But I need to send my old friend away. It doesn't make any sense for you to capture these space pirates. Is that okay, Lina?"
"Of course," Lina whispered, "I will let them go. This is a formal promise. Now, please stop your maintenance boat and have the pirate ship close the protective shield."
Yang Ming adjusted the position of the boat, his eyes filled with azure light.
There were only a hundred meters or so left to the stern, but the maintenance boat had to slow down to avoid hitting the bulkhead.
Kolev kept rubbing the glass plate in his hands.
He was calculating so that the speed at which the blue film spread would perfectly match the speed at which the maintenance boat glided forward.
Thirty meters.
The hatch outside the forward pirate ship's stern cabin began to close ahead of schedule.
Kolev gestured forward to Yang Ming, and Yang Ming gently pushed the operating lever.
There was an eerie silence in the boat.
Yang Ming seemed to hear someone's heartbeat.
"Hanton," Lina said, "We will send a landing ship to control this pirate ship, but don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will not harm them. Let them save energy, this protective shield is meaningless."
"Really, Lina?" Yang Ming murmured in a low voice, "Your lips are very sweet. I hope that was not our last intimate contact."
Lina was obviously embarrassed, but she immediately responded gently: "We can have a long time alone, and we won't let each other down, right, Hanton?"
"Yes Lina, I love kissing you."
The maintenance boat slid into the gap in the aft cabin.
The azure light film closed quietly after two seconds.
The rear exterior door closes after five seconds.
Because the maintenance boat was moving a little too fast, Yang Ming used its square rudder to push it against the thickened deck of the stern cabin , causing a series of sparks to fly from the friction with the hull.
Sudden!
Buzz——
The light around the pirate ship was slightly distorted, and the lens effect caused arc-like starlight to appear on its periphery!
"That's the warp coating!"
In the bridge of the Flanker III, several officers stared at the scene in front of them, and immediately shouted to Lina on the projection screen beside them:
"That's not a shield, it's a warp coating! They opened the subspace! Damn it! How did they do it? They actually imitated the energy fluctuations of the shield!"
"What?" Lina was a little surprised, "Stop them quickly!"
"Number three side guns fully charged!"
"Number four side guns fully charged!"
"Sir, can we shoot them down? Please decide!"
"The other party will initiate the jump in twenty-five seconds."
The shock in Lina's eyes quickly faded.
Her image was appearing on the bridge projection screen of Flanker III;
The projection screen in front of Lina was divided into two parts, one part was locked on the pirate ship where Yang Ming was, and the other part was the scene inside the bridge.
"Twenty seconds!"
The technician turned around and shouted.
The voices in the bridge became noisy, and then quickly became silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lina's projection.
In the back seat of the hovercraft, Lina had clenched her hands tightly.
"Fifteen seconds countdown! The other party is about to open the jump channel!"
"Sir!"
“Lina, do you still want to hear that?”
Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded, but because the subspace membrane interfered with the communication, his deliberately slowed-down voice sounded a little low and hoarse:
"The beast that has tasted freedom cannot enter his grave prematurely."
"Sir!"
Lina could hardly breathe, and several thoughts quickly flashed through her mind.
Kigrove's technology, the only fruit of the Martial God Project, and the result of his nine months of lurking...
All she could see before her eyes was a kiss with this cyborg...
"The other party has opened the passage!"
On the screen, the pirate ship that looked like it was about to fall apart flickered slightly.
"attack!"
Lina shouted immediately, and the side guns of the Flanker III fired out deep purple rays.
The pirate ship suddenly flashed!
The purple ray passed almost close to the pirate ship, but only hit the slightly swaying light.
The starry sky ahead returned to normal, and the lens effect at the edge of the subspace disappeared.
Lina slumped in the back seat, waves of dizziness coming over her again, her chest rising and falling with her breathing.
At this moment, Lina thought of Kigrove that Hanton had mentioned.
Yes, she also felt hesitant and timid.
Just like Kigrof facing the Valkyrie.
"Can you locate their landing point?" Lina asked in a trembling voice.
"It is currently untraceable. This is a long-distance jump. The pirates always have some jump points that we don't know about," said the captain of the Flanker III. "The Cole Harbor Peace Guard sent us an inquiry. Our ship appeared in illegal airspace... You shouldn't hesitate, First-Class Intelligence Officer Lina. I will truthfully repeat the whole process to your superiors. "
"Yes, I know. Thank you for your cooperation."
Lina nodded calmly and didn't say anything more.
…
High-frequency vibrations are often followed by violent gasping.
Yang Ming was fine. During the ten seconds or so after the jump, his body only felt a slight tearing sensation.
The jumping experience of this pirate ship is not as comfortable as that of the human investigation ship.
But when Yang Ming turned his head to look at Kolev, he was startled.
The old man was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was black, and his body was shaking.
Yang Ming immediately realized something, put his palm on the old man's chest and patted it gently. The old man turned his head and vomited.
After a while, Kolev slumped in his seat, and Yang Ming turned on the air purification system of the maintenance boat.
That's right, the free air mostly stinks of vomit.
The tail cabin began to slowly increase in pressure. The 'formulated air' outside was still very thin. Yang Ming did not dare to go out rashly and began to look around the overly empty tail cabin.
The old man next to him cursed a few interstellar swear words and then started laughing.
"We're alive! Hahaha! Hanton!"
Yang Ming squinted and smiled.
It feels good to have escaped death.
"Relax, we are safe for now," Kolev slumped in the leather chair at the driver's seat, "Why are you so sure that your beautiful Lina will hesitate? Frontline intelligence officers like them are all strictly trained talents. If I can't get it, then no one can get it. This is their consistent principle."
Yang Ming said leisurely: "This is the confidence in my tongue kissing skills."
"Come on!" Kolev rolled his eyes.
Yang Ming's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Is everything you said before true? Your first wife and her close same-sex friend?"
"Oh," Kolev's face was full of regret, "I always like to talk too much when I get old. Why did I tell you all this? Yes, but don't worry, I was still very kind back then."
"What happened next?"
"I left the city. After sending them to the hospital and contacting the local police, I planned to return to my hometown, a habitable resource planet full of sand dunes. I needed a place to lick my wounds."
Kolev sighed, "On the way back, I met pirates and became their captive. Because of my advanced technician certificate, they took me back to work as a technician. Step by step, I became a professional pirate."
Yang Ming nodded.
"What's your story?" Kolev asked. "First Officer Hanton, we are friends. It's your turn to share your story."
Yang Ming pointed to the hatch that was opening not far away.
Kolev laughed and said, "Hurry up and tell me, or I won't let you go. You are in my territory!"
"I am an officer of the Sherman Empire."
Yang Ming looked at the old men who came outside with interest. They looked to be about the same age as Kolev.
That's right, Kolev is an old pirate after all, so it's normal to have a few more old men in his pirate group.
Yang Ming continued, "I used to work on an evil genetically modified experimental ship, responsible for firefighting. Later, an accident occurred and the experimental ship exploded due to an uprising of the modified bodies. I managed to escape. I received general enhanced transformation and would suppress those half-finished modified humans when necessary."
Several middle-aged men and women appeared behind the old men, their expressions full of respect.
"And then?" Kolev unbuckled his seat belt and began to operate the scissor door of the maintenance boat.
Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw the young girl jogging out. Her pretty face and hot body made Yang Ming smile knowingly.
But when the girl's appearance coincided with some of the scenes in his memory, Yang Ming's expression gradually turned into surprise and astonishment.
He knew this beautiful face!
He had seen it more than once in The Abyss from afar!
Praise the ancient gods...Kolev's daughter is actually this Mimili!
