Chapter 35 This Damn Sense of Ritual
When Kimo learned that his three ships were in trouble, he almost overturned his delicious large intestine rice.
This is the guarantee for him to reach the peak of his life!
A large number of pirates left the cozy spaceport, rushed back to the three pirate ships wearing their respective protective suits, and then... stared at the screens showing a series of garbled characters.
Kimona's majestic body, which was nearly two meters tall, brought tremendous pressure to the surrounding pirates.
"Where are my technicians?" Kimo asked as gently as possible.
"Boss, you mean... the two guys you threw into space last time and turned into icy lumps? You think they took too much and didn't do any real work. All they do is drink tea and flirt with women on the ship every day..."
Kimo's nostrils twitched. "Where are the newly captured, oh no, the newly hired technicians?"
"They were there, saying the system was automatically updating and told us not to panic."
"Fuck you!"
Kimo glared and yelled, "Can't I tell the difference between a freeze screen and an automatic update? Damn this guy! Another freeloader! Give him to me!"
The two well-mannered young pirates were so frightened that their legs went limp.
The screens everywhere suddenly began to shake, and an old face appeared everywhere.
Kimo was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists.
"Hello, little ones!"
Kolev!
This is Kolev's doing!
"It's Captain Kolev!" a pirate shouted in surprise.
"What captain?" someone immediately corrected him. "He's the greedy blood-sucking pirate capitalist who exploits us, Kolev!"
Kolev's voice was full of peace, emotion and tenderness.
He looked at everyone lovingly and spoke in a gentle voice;
“Are you surprised to see me now? This is a small program I hid in the systems of various ships. It was triggered after my heart stopped beating.
“Yes, when you get older you always have to do some preparations for a rainy day, especially in our line of work.
"It's my sixty-fifth birthday now. I've already sensed that my body may not be able to keep up. Several high-intensity treatments have accelerated my aging process. Sigh... I really hope I can continue to do whatever I want in the galaxy with you guys."
Kimo frowned and said, "Can you shut it down? This old man makes me sick."
"Captain, we've been pressing the buttons, but... well, they're not responding from a physical point of view."
Coincidentally, Kolev said:
"Don't turn off the video, this is a will. I'm giving away half of my wealth as a reward for following me. The other half is for Mimi.
"When my heart stops beating, these words will appear in front of you. At this time, I hope you will not panic, and do not lose your composure because of the blow you may suffer. If you feel that you cannot continue to travel in space without my leadership, then take the wealth I leave you - I mean, everyone who can see this video, and find a remote place to live a good life.
"Of course, if you want to continue sailing, I recommend Guka, the little guy who has been my second mate for many years, to continue to lead you. My daughter is still too young. But I hope Guka can train her as the next captain. Guka, you will do it, right?
“Oh, it’s really a sad thing to make a will.
“I hope I never have to use this thing.
"Go find my wealth. Let the captains separate and supervise each other. No one should think of eating alone. This is for you. - I exchanged them for the electronic keys of the Federation currency."
Several photos flashed across the video.
"The location is here, a place you should be familiar with, but you probably didn't expect it."
The video freezes on a ruined city in an uninhabited area on the back of the planet Orhaifu.
"Go and find the treasure I have hidden.
"Don't fight among yourselves. Remember, only by uniting can you continue to be invincible."
call out!
The videos on various screens disappeared, and the normal system interface was displayed.
The entire pirate ship fell into deathly silence.
Everyone was looking at Kimo, and everyone's eyes gradually became lively.
"This is a trap," Kimo said solemnly, "Although I don't like to think, this is obviously a trap that Kolev wants to lure us into."
A confidant at the side whispered: "But, Captain, we haven't received any external signals, and according to the reaction of the brothers over there in Guka, the same thing has appeared on their ship. This is the last words, Kolev looks just like he did ten years ago."
Kimo murmured, "How did this old guy do it?"
Suddenly, there was a call from the corner.
"What? Are you serious? The bank?"
Kimo frowned and looked over.
"Captain, Commander, Kolev is dead... Half an hour ago, he was held hostage by the young man who called you a fool. He was confronted by the police in Orkhaifu. The police shot and killed Kolev while he was hostage..."
"Captain! I also received the news. It was given to us by the intelligence dealer!"
“Oh, there are videos and pictures!”
"That young man also wants the leader's wealth. The leader has accumulated most of Black Dragon's assets over decades..."
"The old leader is right. That belongs to us! It belongs to every member of the Black Dragon."
"That damn Kolev, he actually took the initiative to leave half for the idiot Mimili!"
noisy.
Noise.
The pirates are ready to make a move.
Kimo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly laughed. His ferocious expression made the pirates everywhere stop their discussions.
"What are you all standing there for! We need to purchase new ships and weapons! Hahaha!"
"Guka has set sail! Captain!"
"That damn Gu Ka, if he dares to touch my money, just try it!"
Kimo's eyes were filled with anger.
"Get there faster than them! Hurry up, you idiots who have eaten too much pig food!"
…
"Kolev's fortune?"
Lina rubbed her brows and stared at the spaceship displayed on the radar map.
The power system of this light frigate was beyond her imagination, and the battleship was almost left behind several times.
Lina also understood that her operators had done their best.
This light battleship is so large in size that if it wants to make a jump, it has more stringent requirements on the surrounding gravitational environment, and no one can afford to be held accountable if something goes wrong during the risky jump.
But the ship in front didn't care about this and continued to perform various dangerous operations.
Lina now just wants to end it all as soon as possible.
She had asked several times if she could fire, but the results were either that the lock time was not enough or there was obstruction between them.
And now, members of the Black Dragon Pirates bribed by Lina have brought new news.
Kolev had stayed on those pirate ships for more than ten years, and the will system was triggered because of Kolev's death; the treasure left by the great pirate Kolev was hidden in an abandoned city in Orkhaifu, and five pirate ships swarmed towards the planet Orkhaifu.
Lina quickly connected the information.
She had always wondered why Hamton took Kolev to Orkhaifu.
Now the answer is obvious - Hanton got the news from somewhere that Kolev hid the wealth in Orkhaifu and wanted to get some of the wealth, but Kolev played a trick and wanted to kill Hanton with the gun hidden in the safe.
But why is Hamton so eager for money?
Lina thought carefully, watching the icon jumping gently on the radar map, and the other party made another hurried leap.
This risky operation is in line with Hunton's style.
"He probably wanted to take the money and run away, and Kolev would be a fat sheep."
'Yes, Hanton just wants to hide now, but he needs to live and needs money to buy gene stabilizing fluid.'
"But why would Hanton..."
Lina's thoughts were a little confused.
"Sir!"
The young intelligence officer hurried over and whispered, "The Black Dragon Pirates have gathered around Orhaifu. They sent out more than a dozen landing craft and rushed towards the ruined city like crazy. The five ships are very close to the surface. They are divided into two groups and confronting each other."
Lina said coldly: "Even if these pirates' brains are beaten to pieces, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Sir!"
A reminder came from the left console: "We have tracked the enemy's jump point... The ship where target number one is located has appeared near Orhaifu!"
Lina was stunned.
A flash of thought flashed across her eyes: "Hanton wants to get Kolev's wealth? This is a bit unreasonable."
"Sir," the young intelligence officer asked in a low voice, "you must have lived on the Prime Star since you were a child, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"For many people, money is everything," the intelligence officer reminded, "Target No. 1 is desperate, and the pirates' wealth is hidden, which may be the guarantee of Target No. 1's future life."
"No matter what, catch up," Lina said immediately, "Jump immediately!"
"But, sir..."
The captain's voice sounded: "We have been led to the edge of a complex binary gravitational field. We need to leave the influence area before we can start the jump."
Lina's expression was a little frozen.
"The other side has calculated it, Commander Lina," the captain whispered, "Perhaps we should re-examine our opponent. He is not an ordinary imperial officer. He has played us around. And my ship is not suitable for this kind of pursuit. Perhaps we can dispatch two smaller and more flexible light frigates."
"I will report this to my superiors as soon as possible," Lina said, "but now, leave the gravitational interference zone as quickly as possible and return to Aerhaifu. If target number one chooses to land in Aerhaifu, that will be our only chance to capture him!"
The captain shrugged, turned around and began to give orders.
Lina was a little anxious. She crossed her arms and forced herself to stay calm, thinking about the series of anomalies in these things.
She always felt that something was wrong.
But Lina didn't notice that in the corner of the operating table on the left side of the bridge, a young man put a two-millimeter-diameter metal spider into the gap between the buttons.
If you magnify this spider, you can see... the mark of the Imperial Star shining on it.
…
Taking advantage of the cover of the planet Orhaifu itself, the Feinan entered the planet's low-Earth orbit and hid below the horizon out of the sight of the five pirate ships.
In the tail cabin, the stealth boat in the launching position slowly opened its two scissor doors.
Yang Ming, dressed in a light grey combat uniform, was stuffing a bionic substitute robot that looked exactly like him into the 'trunk' of the stealth boat.
After fastening the seat belt for the substitute robot, Yang Ming quickly got into the driver's seat. When he was about to press the button to close the hatch, an old hand appeared on the opposite armrest.
Kolev climbed up breathlessly and sat down in the passenger seat.
There were several question marks on Yang Ming’s forehead.
"First mate, what are you doing here?"
"I'll help you drive this boat," Kolev said with a smile, "Leave the Feinan to Molly II. You'll need to use a stand-in later, so I'll help you drive this boat."
Yang Ming frowned slightly: "No, Kolev, according to our plan, you should be on the boat now, to make sure that if Lina catches up in advance, you can get rid of them."
"Don't worry, Molly II can do it. She has learned and recorded our previous operation mode, and we have enough time." Kolev fastened his seat belt, "Let me go with you. I promise not to get off this stealth boat."
"Why?" Yang Ming's eyes were sharp.
Kolev was silent for a moment, then whispered:
"Some terrible ideas are growing in my mind. If I stay on the Feinan, I can use technical means to change Molly II's first loyalty. I can also... wait for you to get rid of Kimo and then turn the fake into real and blow up your real body. I can do it, Hanton, and I will be the final winner.
“But I don’t want to do that.
"If I were ten years younger, I would definitely do this, so that I could take back the Flying South directly.
"Let me go with you, Hamton. Let me pick you up. We are partners... my best partner in the past few decades... but I am just a despicable pirate. I am afraid that I will not be able to control my greed and desire..."
Yang Ming stared at Kolev 's wrinkled old face.
This old face is full of grievances.
Yang Ming stretched out his fist and raised his eyebrows at Kolev.
"Hey! This is such childish stuff!" Kolev said with a bit of disgust.
"Come on, first mate."
"Oh, this damn sense of ritual!"
Kolev clenched his fist and weakly touched Yang Ming's fist.
Yang Ming smiled triumphantly and quickly pressed a series of buttons, and the hatch of the stealth boat closed quickly.
Aft cabin depressurization.
Simulated gravity field is off.
The hatch of the Feinan slowly opened, and light blue halos appeared on the main and secondary engines of the stealth boat.
Yang Ming pushed the mechanical rudder, and the boat quickly slid into the sky above Orhaifu, opened the weak protective shield, and traveled at full speed in the thin atmosphere.
They rushed towards the deserted city.
