Lin Lin took a look at the map. Although the southern space station was very close to where An Ming was trapped, it was still half a million kilometers away. If he could go there without the help of a spaceship and just rely on the speed of Lin Lin's mecha, the time span would be too big. I was afraid that An Ming would have been killed by the time he arrived.
Therefore, Lin Lin could only use the last 180,000 Galaxy coins in An Feng's account in the space station to hire a team of mercenaries who were willing to escort him to the Bonan planet that An Ming mentioned.
"Originally, your 180,000 yuan is not enough for us to escort you." The mercenary captain Dill looked at Lin Lin with a stern face, and then spat out in displeasure: "Who makes it so that no one comes to this damn place? ?I haven’t started work for two months. Kid, you have to know that when someone asked me to escort someone before, I wouldn’t even look at him without 1.8 million Galaxy coins. That means you are lucky. I don’t know what’s going on. , no one has come here in the past few months."
"Captain, please stop talking. This is all news from some unscrupulous person, saying that the Oort cloud adjacent to the southern space station is about to explode, and all the planets in this area will be destroyed. Such nonsense scares other tourists who want to come here." The monkey on the side wiped the rifle in his hand with the towel in his hand, and cursed: "What the hell, if you let me know which one is missing? If he hears rumors from his heart, I have to open his eyes to him."
"Stop complaining. Our guests are still waiting here. Monkey, go and go through the formalities for leaving your post. Who knows when those people will get off work." Katie, the only female in the mercenary team, said.
From their few words, Lin Lin heard two important points: no one had come for two months, and there were rumors that this part of the Oort cloud was about to explode.
According to research by Alliance researchers, the current state of the Oort Cloud is very stable. There will be no explosion for at least 100,000 years. Even if it does, it will only cause fluctuations in a very small area, which is equivalent to the size of the Earth. The size of an atom will not affect the current civilization of the solar system at all. At most, it will be on a planet that is relatively close. You can see an extra star in the sky when it fluctuates.
However, not many people are willing to read this kind of serious science popularization. They would rather believe the unrealistic news they heard from others than what real scientific researchers say. There are always some people who think they know better than others. There are many people doing scientific research.
Lin Lin also expressed his understanding of this. After all, people are free. No one can stop them from doing whatever they want. As long as they don't do anything that violates planetary or alliance laws, no one will take care of them.
However, Lin Lin became curious about another piece of information. No one had come here for two months, not even a supply ship. You know, in today's solar system, it can be said that every planet is inhabited by a large number of races, and there are also other races in the solar system. Logically speaking, if an alien race goes to Earth, such a thing will not happen. Combined with the rumors of the Oort cloud explosion, this becomes interesting.
In Lin Lin's original conjecture, it was possible that the Nian family had done this series of operations in order to kill An Ming, but when he thought about it, why did they spend so much effort just to kill An Ming? Just send a warship to clear the area where An Ming is, and then hold a press conference to say that the Nian family wasted a lot of time and effort, and finally captured a notorious interstellar criminal on the Bonan planet. Just kill it before you kill it. This way you can earn some reputation for yourself, so why do it?
What's more, does the Nian family really have so much energy? You know, sealing off an area is no small matter; therefore, Lin Lin himself overturned this idea. It couldn't be that An Ming found some super mineral deposits during the mission, right?
After that, Lin Lin tried to lead the matter to the Emri people. If it were them, everything could be explained. But if it was the Emri people, they would not remind others with good intentions. They would not like it. Please bring in more people to conduct biological experiments on them.
Shaking his head, Lin Lin decided not to think about this matter. He was about to leave anyway, and these things had nothing to do with him. Let the alliance worry about it. If he encountered it on the way to save An Ming, it would not be a problem. Can't take action, but forget it now.
"Hey! Lin Lin, right? Where you are going has to pass through an asteroid belt. There is a risk of damage to the spacecraft. In order to prevent you from being sucked into space." Katie looked at Lin Lin and threw a light space suit. Come over: "Here, put it on. At least you won't die so quickly. Maybe you can wait until rescue."
After saying that, Katie even sighed and muttered: "I hope there is a rescue team here."
"What?" Lin Lin didn't hear what Katie said last. Even if he heard it, he wouldn't take it to heart. Even if he was sucked into space, it would be easy to resist for a few minutes with his physical strength, and his own space There is also a mecha inside the stacked beads, so there is no need to worry about dying in space.
However, Lin Lin finally put on the space suit. After all, he only had an employment relationship with them and there was no need to talk to them so much.
"Boss!" The monkey ran over waving his hands and said to Dill: "Boss, I have completed all the procedures and is ready to go at any time."
Dill turned to look at Lin Lin and asked, "Do you have anything else to prepare? If not, just follow us on the boat."
Lin Lin shook his head, indicating that he had no problem, and Dill didn't say anything more. He walked in front with Katie and Monkey, not treating Lin Lin as his employer at all.
You can't blame them. After all, they used to do big orders. This is equivalent to a person who eats a lot of food every day. If you suddenly let him eat cheap food, he obviously won't be happy. And the three of Dill are like this now. In this situation, if there hadn't been business for two months, they wouldn't have accepted Lin Lin's order.
Lin Lin didn't care about their disregard. They were paying for things anyway. As long as they did things well, it didn't matter what their attitude was, as long as they didn't take action against him.
Soon after, Dill brought Lin Lin to their spaceship, the Falcon.
Looking at this dilapidated spaceship, Lin Lin's face slowly turned ugly. Can this old antique really pass through the asteroid belt?
Noticing Lin Lin's expression, Dill said: "Don't look at my ship. Its performance is not weaker than other ships. It's just that I don't have the money to repaint it."
"The boss is right. The interior of our spaceship is filled with the best accessories that we personally selected. We killed countless enemies on the battlefield. If not..."
"Monkey! You can shut up and go to the cockpit to fly the spaceship."
Monkey originally wanted to continue talking, but was frightened by Dill's low roar, so he stopped talking and walked slowly to the cab.
Lin Lin looked at the monkey's back and thought to himself: It seems that they came here for other reasons, not just to make money here.
"Drink a drink?" Dill opened a bottle of red wine and asked Lin Lindao with a cup.
"Sorry, I don't drink. It will affect my reflexes." Lin Lin declined.
Dill sneered at Lin Lin's words and said with a smile: "You still have reflexes. What kind of mecha pilot do you think you are? I don't think you look like it either. None of the pilots I've seen are fat and strong. With your small body, you are more like a toy pilot."
"Forget it if you don't want to drink it. I'll drink it myself. I spent a lot of money to buy this thing." After Dill finished speaking, he took a sip and sighed: "This expensive one is so different, no Cheap stuff like those chokes your throat.”
…
An hour later, the monkey's voice sounded inside the spacecraft.
"Be careful, we are going through the asteroid belt, it may be a bit bumpy."
"Monkey, I'm drinking. If I spill my wine because of the bumps, you'll be in trouble." Dill stood firm and cursed at the cab.
"Boss, you can't blame me for this. You also know that your precious spaceship is shaky when you drive it. It's good if I can stabilize it. It's impossible not to be bumpy." Monkey complained to the outside through the cab. : "Why don't you replace the balancer of the spacecraft after this time?"
While drinking, Dill smiled and cursed into the cab: "Fuck you, my spaceship, how can I not know about it? You usually brag to me about your driving skills, what? Now? Has his true form been revealed?"
As a result, the monkey stopped talking, but he could clearly feel that the spacecraft gradually became stable. It seemed that the monkey was still quite afraid of Dill.
Lin Lin smiled and asked Dill, who was drinking: "Captain Dill, do you know the situation of the Burnan Star I am going to? This is my first time going there."
"Then you've asked the right person. I know all the living planets in this star field, but that's all." Dill took a sip of red wine and frowned at Lin Lin: "It's not good for you to go anywhere, why should you? Going to Bonan Star?"
"Huh? Is there something wrong with Bonan Star?" Lin Lin asked curiously. From what Dill said, it seemed that Bonan Star was not a good place.
"That's not a tourist planet. Bonan Planet just announced that it was entering a war period last month, and the war is probably raging now." Dill sneered at the civil war on Bonan Planet and cursed: "A bunch of rubbish, they only dare to If you are really capable of beating your own people, why don't you go to the front lines and kill the Zerg."
civil war? last month? Lin Lin used his captain authority in the hunting net to check An Ming's mission records, and finally discovered that the time when the civil war broke out in Dill's words happened to be when An Ming went to Bonan Planet as described in the mission records, and it was also the time when the civil war broke out. Went with that person from the Nian family.
"Is it possible that that person started planning to kill people and seize the treasure from that time on?" Lin Lin murmured to himself, what exactly did An Ming obtain during the mission? It was worthy of the Nian family to use this method to obtain it. Although Lin Lin also accepted this task, from the task description, it was not clear that there would be anything good at all.
Dill looked at Lin Lin: "Let me tell you, it's still too late to go back now. War doesn't last long."
