Chapter 39 The Final Step of the Plan
Kolev would never know what Yang Ming was thinking when he faced the dreadnought in the sky.
But Yang Ming could easily tell how panicked the old man next to him was.
The old mouth kept chattering away, madly expressing the chaotic thoughts growing in his mind.
"Oh, poor Hanton, we can't escape! This is a dreadnought, the Empire's dreadnought, the second most powerful type of ship. It can even directly blow up the planet. They might really do that."
"No, no, no, that's not right. An elephant won't see the ants at its feet. They won't notice us, right?"
"Thinking about my life, if I could die under the gun barrel of an Imperial dreadnought, it would be an honor."
"...I still haven't seen the day when my daughter gets married, starts a family, and gives birth to a bunch of little pirates."
"Hanton, I can't just die like this. I still have a lot of money left to spend. I..."
Yang Ming silently turned off the life support system, pulled out a can of formula oxygen from the emergency box under the seat, and then used the breathing port of the oxygen tank to press hard, accurately, and mercilessly on Kolev's mouth.
Why is this old man so noisy!
Yang Ming cursed in a low voice: "Be quiet! If this dreadnought wants to bombard us, I will take the initiative to say that I am the experimental subject they are looking for! The option of soaking in a jar and eating excrement must be higher than the option of being killed!"
Kolev blinked: "Does your empire accept military donations?"
Yang Ming: …
He continued to lie on the front seat, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.
A powerful individual is nothing in front of a powerful force.
He was a secondary ancient god life form that had not yet fully matured - even if he could fully develop and mature in the future, he would still be so powerless when facing the powerful warships of the empire.
Powerful forces and strong individual strength are the directions we should strive for.
You have to grab both!
Of course, all this is based on the premise that I can escape this time.
"Han, Hanton!"
Kolev pulled off his oxygen mask and shouted, "They're gone!"
Yang Ming looked up suddenly.
The Imperial Dreadnought-class battleship slowly sailed into deep space.
Six or seven imperial warships of various types appeared in the distant starry sky, forming a battle formation with the dreadnought and sailing together to an area where a smooth jump could be carried out.
If a dreadnought wants to form real combat effectiveness, it must be accompanied by frigates, destroyers, comprehensive supply ships, etc.
The dreadnought had obviously made a forced jump to the planet Orhaifu first.
The most likely scenario is that the Empire obtained the precise coordinates of the Dawn-class battleship and pointed its gun barrel directly at the face of the Dawn-class light battleship.
The intelligence systems of various countries are mutually infiltrated, and Lina was defeated by the intelligence organization behind her!
Yang Ming finally laughed.
It’s very imperial.
The Imperial fleet disappeared on the edge of the stealth boat's radar.
Molly II's voice sounded: "Captain, a jump has been detected. The Imperial fleet has left."
"Start! Start quickly!"
Yang Ming roared, and the engine of the stealth boat emitted a circle of blue light, forming an angle of nearly ninety degrees with the ground, and broke through the clouds!
"Number Two is here to pick us up!"
"Yes, Captain."
Yang Ming's voice gradually calmed down: "Prepare the energy for the jump in advance, activate the coating machine and polarizer, and open the tail cabin."
Kolev regained his composure and cursed fiercely: "Speed up! Run faster! I don't want to stay here for a moment!"
…
Feinan completed two jumps in a short period of time and hid the spacecraft behind an asteroid.
Yang Ming sat there slumped with sweat all over his head, his eyes dull. He silently pulled out the injection next to the seat and injected a tube of gene stabilizing fluid into his arm vein.
Kolev suddenly laughed and couldn't catch his breath.
He ran to Yang Ming's side and punched Yang Ming's shoulders at a high frequency with his dry and weak fists.
"Hahahaha! The arrogant Empire didn't even bother to search this planet! Hahaha! That Lina! Damn it, she got her comeuppance immediately! Let her attack my ship again!"
"We escaped! Hanton! This is so exciting! The Empire's dreadnought is right above our heads!"
"Oh ho ho! We're pirates, pirates pirates pirates!"
Yang Ming frowned as he looked at the little old man who was laughing, singing, and dancing. He wanted to make a long-distance call to Mimili to remind her to care about the mental health of the elderly.
Kolev opened three bottles of champagne and made a mess of the bridge.
When the excitement wore off, the old pirate began to feel melancholy again.
"Oh, it's just that my loss was a bit heavy."
Kolev sighed, "The Alliance actually used battleships to bully my poor pirate ships! Our plan brought all the pirate ships together. My God, they are simply five spaceship-shaped targets!"
Yang Ming felt a little uneasy, after all, this was the plan he made.
I hadn't really considered this little detail before, as I was only focused on thinking about the situation .
Yang Ming wanted to change the subject: "If Lina came to her senses, maybe she would still doubt that I was still alive, and then conduct a reconsideration... I really have to thank the Empire."
"Thank you, Empire," Kolev cursed, pinching his waist, "I feel much better now."
The old man didn't mean to blame him.
Kolev brought the champagne and clinked glasses with Yang Ming. After they both took a sip, they fell silent again.
Yang Ming looked at the starry sky.
Kolev was restoring his mental state that had been emptied by the dreadnought.
"There is one last step in the plan," Yang Ming reminded, "Don't be discouraged, it's time for our cosmetic surgery device to come into play."
Kolev said: "As expected of a former imperial soldier, his discipline and execution are always on point."
"This is the desire for freedom," Yang Ming said with a relaxed smile.
From the research vessel in Keygrove to Cole Harbour, to here.
From the time I opened my eyes in Lina's infirmary a few months ago to now.
He can finally say something!
Well, Valkyrie is still alive...well, not so safe .
But the risk factor has definitely been reduced a lot.
And there won’t be any followers for the time being!
He also successfully obtained a ship and Molly No. 2, so the next plan can be steadily carried out!
After leaving the bridge, Yang Ming and Kolev walked one after the other to the enclosed medical cabin not far away. The set of cosmetic surgery equipment placed inside was the door to their rebirth.
"Hey, Hanton," Kolev said, "want to talk some more?"
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at Kolev.
Kolev leaned against the door frame and folded his arms.
"You are very powerful, Hanton, and we are the best partners. You have the fighting power, and I have the connections and technology," Kolev said with shining eyes. "We can continue to cooperate with each other, and you need a constant supply of gene stabilizers, which can only be obtained on the black market. You are destined to become a pirate."
"The black market is not just for pirates," Yang Ming said. "Some large fixed black markets have anonymous markets. Although the items are slightly more expensive, the secrecy is guaranteed."
Kolev could only smile bitterly: "You even know this."
"You taught me," Yang Ming thought a few things and asked slowly, "What are your plans? Once we enter this door, we will have to change our identities, pretend not to know each other, and start our own journeys."
There was confusion in Kolev's old eyes.
He said, "I've actually always wanted to take back the Black Dragon... After I chose the plan of faking my death, I wanted to leave the Black Dragon to Mimily, and I would hide behind her to help her. But now, the Black Dragon is gone, and all I can leave to Mimily are those useless, dirty coins that are essentially just numbers."
Yang Ming said: "Piracy is not a glorious career after all. Why don't you find a beautiful place, buy a piece of land, build a manor, and become a rich man?"
"Oh, Hamton, that kind of life is terrible," Kolev said with disgust.
"You are already over seventy years old, Kolev. You said it yourself. Your body looks older than your actual age. You should retire and enjoy your old age."
Yang Ming raised his hand and patted Kolev on the shoulder.
"Of course, this is just a suggestion from a friend. We all have our own chosen paths, and we will continue to walk on them firmly. It's a pleasure to work with you this time. I admire your abilities. You are a legendary pirate."
"Me too, very happy," Kolev said with a smile, "Are you really not considering continuing the cooperation? Let's change our identities, call Mimili, and work together to run the most powerful pirate group in history."
Yang Ming thought for a few seconds.
The image of the Imperial Dreadnought destroying the Dawn-class battleship appeared before his eyes.
"Kolev, I have my own ideals and goals," Yang Ming said seriously.
"That's good. Oh, I know I'm being long-winded. Anyway... um... OK, Hanton."
Kolev was visibly disappointed.
Yang Ming said, "You get your plastic surgery done first. I'll drive the Feinan to the vicinity of Wina Harbor. You can drive a spaceship in the tail cabin and leave later."
"Okay, I've handed your new identity to Molly II," Kolev said, "Citizen of the Kashi Federation, you only need to submit your new facial information to Molly II, and she will help you generate a passport that will be recognized by the Kashi Federation."
"Thank you," Yang Ming said with a smile.
"I should thank you, Hamton. I am an old man and you have taken too much care of me recently. It is my responsibility to take care of you."
Yang Ming didn't say much, just smiled and opened his arms.
Kolev frowned and said, "Hey, don't do these disgusting things... You don't want to kill me and strangle me to death, do you?"
Although he said this, the old man still took two steps forward and gave Yang Ming a tight hug.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't hurt you for the sake of your beautiful daughter. She is much more charming than you. Maybe I will have the chance to call you father-in-law in the future, my dear first mate."
Kolev silently picked up the wrench he carried with him.
…
The old man left.
Just as they planned.
The third part of Yang Ming’s plan is to say goodbye and not see each other after each of them has plastic surgery.
Yang Ming drove the Feinan to the vicinity of the designated free port and went to sleep for a long time. After waking up, he received a reminder from Molly No. 2.
His old friend drove away the most expensive stealth boat in his stern cabin.
This made Yang Ming so angry that he added two more spoonfuls of sugar when drinking coffee.
Although it was originally bought by Kolev.
Yang Ming was not in a hurry to set off. He rested for a few days near the free port, reset the parameters of the cosmetic surgery device, and started his own cosmetic surgery plan.
He set his face to be 70% similar to his previous life, and after adjusting it a lot, it looked a bit like his biological father when he was young.
The next step was general anesthesia, bone grinding and skin peeling, and skin repair... Even though Yang Ming didn't have the tough skin of a Valkyrie, he had to go through it many times before he repaired his face bit by bit. His appearance was a little different from what he expected...
A few hours later, Yang Ming walked out of the plastic surgery room, looked at himself in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction. At least he was still handsome, though a little too delicate.
Or is it that the handsome face of this oriental guy on this earth looks comfortable?
What Yang Ming didn't know was that there was a hidden camera in the corner, which was taking a picture of his face at that moment.
at the same time.
In the Kashi Federation, the outer space station is on the planet next to the planet where Kolev’s secret base is located.
An old gentleman with a middle-parted hairstyle, wearing a well-fitting suit and holding a walking stick in his hand, humming a folk tune from his hometown, walked in the dazzling interstellar duty-free zone, looking at luxury goods that were no more expensive than this.
His watch suddenly vibrated continuously.
The old man looked around, lowered his head, covered the watch face with his hand, and opened the email that popped up.
This is a little design of his.
Before leaving, the old man set up a hidden camera device that was beyond the control of Molly No. 2. At this moment, the device worked and sent a face that was completely different from Hamton.
"oh."
The old gentleman exclaimed in admiration.
Is it true that anyone can actively lower their appearance?
From ten points to eight points, from strong and resolute to handsome, and by the way, it also concealed a little bit of the sharpness.
What a young man who is capable of great things!
The old gentleman stared at the photo for a long time, a warm smile in his eyes, then he deleted the photo and shut down the camera permanently.
'May you swim freely in the ocean of gravity, my captain.'
The old gentleman pulled down his sleeves and calmly walked into the door at the side.
He planned to buy a top hat, and later buy a piece of land by the sea to build a manor, or a hotel, or maybe open a beauty salon like Mimili was considering when they talked on the phone last night, which would definitely make a lot of money.
At about the same time.
"Captain arrives at the bridge."
"Number Two, change the setting to make the avatar permanent."
"Yes, Captain."
Molly No. 2 appeared in the middle of the control panel. She was thirty centimeters tall, dressed in a plaid skirt and a white shirt, looking like an electronic figure.
"Well, that's not bad."
Yang Ming sat down comfortably, staring at the deep starry sky, summoned up the star map and began to fiddle with it.
He was going to the next port to verify his new identity - Yang Ming, an ordinary citizen of the Kashi Federation.
There, Yang Ming also had to buy some food that could be stored for more than a few years in case he got stuck in Star Trek.
The Port of Minx cannot be found on the current map of the Milky Way.
Yang Ming didn't know what this meant. In the past few days, he had Molly 2 search all the star systems similar to the solar system and planets similar to the Earth, but could not find any trace of his hometown.
This is a bit weird.
Therefore, Yang Ming decided to go directly to the Omnic Twilight and try to find the key and obtain the treasure at the same place where the "Chosen One" picked up the key more than 30 galactic years in advance.
"Number Two," Yang Ming asked, "Show me what Kolev looks like after plastic surgery."
"Yes, Captain."
Molly No. 2 projected two photos in front of Yang Ming, who immediately looked disgusted.
This shameless old guy actually managed to get a very elegant look.
It's even younger by a dozen years!
"Delete it," Yang Ming waved his hand, "revoke Kolev's authority. From now on, start the secret voyage and don't keep any records."
"It has been set."
Yang Ming pressed a series of buttons in front of him, and the Feinan vibrated slightly. The outer armor paint gradually changed color, giving the ship a silver-gray tone.
"Coordinates confirmed."
"Coordinates confirmed."
"Self-test complete."
"Self-test complete."
"See you next time, Captain Kolev."
Yang Ming murmured, grasped the square rudder with his right hand, and pushed forward smoothly.
Flying South.
Go forward three.
