black sky

Carlos Black is a well-known leader of wanderers in the α and β star regions. If it was 100 years ago, his fame would not even be limited to these two star regions, and he would be even more famous.He has dealt with the government forces of various planets, exchanged fire, and also traded, sometimes as a collaborator, sometimes as an enemy.

He wandered among the planets, neither getting too close to anyone nor too far away from anyone, and always maintained the beliefs that a qualified wanderer leader should have-freedom is supreme, there is no restraint, and...nothing is wrong. cannot be resolved by force.

He used to have an extremely luxurious spaceship, which he got from the White Eagle Army Department of Skyhawk γ Star through a life-and-death deal.That became his favorite thing for a while—the facilities inside were perfect like a city, and the system intelligence level was comparable to the famous exile spaceship of Aquila γ star—the space prison.

He even gave the spaceship a name - Bird of Paradise, a symbol of freedom and eternity.

But that spaceship was finally destroyed in the century-old interstellar chaos, destroyed by the artillery fire of the City of Silver, together with the nearly [-] aircraft on the ship that hadn't had time to evacuate...

With a bang, it turned into a cluster of lights among the stars.

So from then on, he has one more rule in his actions - absolutely never have any cooperation with the City of Silver.

This makes life difficult. After all, the City of Silver is indeed an extremely wealthy collaborator to some extent, and is extremely fond of mixing. If the line of cooperation with it is not cut off, Carlos Black and his The people of the village will never have to worry about not being able to receive work.

But Carlos persisted.

So in the past few decades, they have had to find some places along the road to find something that can be used when there is a shortage of supplies from time to time.

When Carlos passed by the edge of the α star region three months ago, he received the news that the Aquila γ star exploded.

As a wanderer, wandering in space all year round, wandering in various star regions, living in no fixed place, there must be some advantages, the most basic point is that the news comes quickly.

Because of the century-old chaos, the exchanges between various planets have fallen into a cold war period. On the one hand, they are trying their best to obtain the dynamics of other planets, and on the other hand, they are trying their best to ensure that the dynamics of this planet will not be known to other planets.This tug-of-war between information secrecy and theft has lasted for decades, and it has benefited the seemingly innocuous homeless.

For a while, the bums made a lot of money just by reselling information.

However, what surprised Carlos was that the explosion of Aquila gamma star was not the same as the usual explosion. It did not collapse and destroy, but was forcibly divided into countless small fragments and scattered in the vast space.

If he hadn't led the team and happened to meet two fragments, he probably would never have believed that there was such a bombing method.

This is definitely not a natural appearance of the planet, it must have been disturbed by some kind of man-made force.

But what surprised him even more was that when he encountered the debris, there was no hint on the star map in the aircraft cabin.Even if the fragment was right in front of him, visible to the naked eye, the place on the star map was still empty.

It was a ghost.

But when Carlos landed on the debris with a large number of aircraft, his mood became lighter again, because there were houses, shops, and various materials for him to grab on the debris.He also saw things like crystal coffins inside and outside various houses. According to the information he had obtained, this thing is called a frozen capsule, which is the product of the interstellar chaos. Life-saving pod.

Some of his subordinates tried to move the two frozen capsules, but they didn't know if there was some mechanism hidden in them. In short, they failed to open them from the outside after more than two hours, so they had to give up.

In any case, they had a fruitful trip.

Once you taste the sweetness, you will want to try it a second time.

As soon as Carlos Black and his centurion left that fragment, they began to think about the next fragment.

It's just that no matter how many signal search methods he changed, those fragments were like a protective film and an invisibility cover, and he couldn't find the location.

But fortunately, his luck was astonishing. In less than half a month, he encountered the fragment in front of him again.

The previous fragment should be the edge of the city, but the one in front of me belongs to the wasteland in the deep mountains and old forests.

When he first landed, he still had a little regret, but soon he discovered the fortress complex in the center of the wasteland. The fortress was familiar to him, and he had seen this place when he had business dealings with Skyhawk Gamma.

"This is the largest super base station they ever had, called Fort Barney. Don't count on daily supplies, but there are better things here. Maybe you can use this to find the location of other fragments! Old boys, get excited! "Carlos Black bit his cigarette and clapped his palms.

In the inter-connected internal channels of the aircraft, there were chaotic cheers and ghost screams: "I bet I can find other positions, they can't even block their own people, how can they live!"

"Let's go! I can't wait!"

"Fuck him with a big ticket!"

"Hello? Hello? Boss! Remember to bring your weapons. When we swept over from the side just now, we swept across a few rooms. There may be people here, and they are not lying in those frozen coffins, they are awake! "

"Did you hear that?! Take your weapons!" Carlos Black yelled into the channel again, then picked up the single-person shoulder-mounted particle cannon at his feet, and opened the hatch of the aircraft.

Even when he heard that there might be someone awake here, he was still in a surprisingly good mood.

What they are least afraid of is firefights. The wanderers have been able to wander in space for so many years, not just by opening their mouths.

"If I'm No Country For Old Men, I still have a tank full of gunfire and a beating heart..." Carlos flicked the soot and even hummed a song popular among the homeless when he stood by the hatch and was about to jump down. .

Other voices came from the communicator: "Boss, everything is ready."

"Old rules, alcoholic, you take forty of them and walk around the edge of the fort in two ways, Scar, you take twenty of your flying guards, and the others follow me!" Carlos bit the cigarette into his mouth again, squinting his eyes Picking up the ion cannon, "Get ready—"

Just when he was about to move, he suddenly heard a slight movement.

Carlos raised his hand: "Wait!"

He tilted his ears and tilted his head to distinguish it, and the sound seemed to be that a dozen mosquitoes were flying around him from a distance.He listened for two seconds, frowned and glanced around again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the hoarse voice of a drunkard in the communicator: "Boss! Something is wrong with this fortress! I saw a corner of the wall and the roof closest to me. Something is moving!"

Drunkard and Scar had been his deputy for a hundred years, and they were both people who had come here with great experience.Dare to fight, but also be cautious.

"I saw it too!" Dao Scar said, "That's...I—grass! That's the tube of the electric gun?!"

There are more than 600 monitoring terminals in the huge and complex Fort Barney. Each monitoring terminal has a pocket muzzle under its head. There are metal wires extending around the muzzle, which looks like a sharp point on the top of the building. lightning rod.

When this kind of gun barrel launches an attack, it will also bring out an electric current, sticking out roots like artificial lightning, and the attack range can reach nearly a hundred meters.

At this time, in the visible and invisible corners of Carlos's homeless team, more than 600 electric gun tubes received remote control commands at the same time, and reversed their directions in the blink of an eye. honeycomb.

Carlos Black seemed to understand the other party's intentions. He didn't even have time to spit out the smoke, so he roared: "Return to the cabin!!!"

But it's too late...

On the hillside in the distance, Sae Yang stretched out his finger and tapped Chusi's holographic screen lightly.

boom--

More than 600 electric gun tubes fired instantly, and the grand flames were all aimed at the center, colliding into a firework that was bright enough to illuminate the entire star area.The current generated by the metal wire on the edge of the gun barrel was like branches protruding from all directions, interlaced and connected together, forming a huge net, covering the entire wanderer team and the aircraft.

That scene was too brilliant and too shocking, it had a magnificent and grand beauty.

The few people on the hillside were stunned, opened their mouths wide and sighed silently at the magnificent scene.

Sae Yang tilted his head towards Fort Barney and asked him, "Does it look good, sir?"

Chu Si said dryly: "It's so beautiful."

"Perfunctory." Sae Yang sneered.

Chus: "..."

He couldn't help but glanced behind Say Yang's waist.

Sahe backed away a bit, and said with a half-smile: "What are you doing, playing hooligans in public? I don't see that the chief still has this hobby."

Chu Si frowned: "You pulled out the sky eye and brought it out. How did you control it remotely?"

In the base, the remote control is through the eye of the sky. After the eye of the sky is pulled out, it stands to reason that he can only look at the pre-adjusted star map on the holographic screen and monitor the position of the homeless.It is impossible to control the specific facilities of Fort Barney, let alone create such a big battle.

Sae Yang shrugged and boasted shamelessly: "While you were running around with your bags in the air, I calmly entered another program in the equipment room and connected all the monitoring equipment in Fort Barney."

Chus: "..."

He looked at Sae Yang with a complicated expression for a long time, and unceremoniously stretched out his hand, "Return it."

Saye squinted at his outstretched palm: "What?"

Chu Si said unhappily: "Earplugs, is the calm Mr. Yang going to renege on his debt?"

Sahe raised his eyebrows, took off the earplugs, and was about to stretch them directly towards Chus' ears, but Chus raised his hand halfway and stopped him.

Saye didn't insist either, and threw the earplugs into Chus' hands, watching him stuff them into the ear sockets, and then, regardless of others, he walked down the slope by himself, walking towards Barney Fort overwhelming grid walk.

Chu Si looked at his back for a while, raised his hand and beckoned to the others: "Don't be stupid, let's go."

Carlos Black felt that he had encountered such a humiliating scene for the first time in his life. He had just walked back to the aircraft and was pulling the handle to close the hatch when the huge net that covered the sky fell down, shining blue and white The dazzling light almost blinded his eyes temporarily.

Before he could adapt to the light, he felt a tingling electric current rushing from his fingers to his whole body at an extremely fast speed, as if the nerves in his whole body were being whipped with a whip, and crackled into his brain——

He, Carlos Black, the well-known leader of the wanderers in the α and β star regions, even with 137 subordinates, couldn't even get out of the hatch, and was nailed in place by the electric current and turned into a group of epileptics with white eyes. It's about to fall out.

Just when he felt that he might as well be hanged, he vaguely heard a lazy voice greeting, "Hey, isn't this the former King of the Vagabonds, and his appearance is quite unique."

"..." No matter who the bastard's grandson is, Carlos wants to pull out the oxygen and jump into the sea of ​​stars with him in his arms, what a fuck!return!At!do!
