The Universe's First Hide and Seek

The news of He Lang and Song Lin's good deeds quickly spread throughout the two Xin galaxies.

Because Li Chen and Song Lin have uploaded photos of "together" before, people reasonably suspect that the famous ice dragon and fire dragon in the interstellar world are also on this border planet.

But Song Lin and He Lang didn't change their faces, if they didn't cover up tightly when they went out, the possibility of being recognized was not low.So in order not to cause more commotion—mainly in order not to be guessed by those paparazzi running around the stars and Song Lin, and then harass the itinerary—the four decided to leave the border planet early.

Anyway, the celebration has already been visited, and there is no other reason to stay.

A group of four boarded a flight to another planet.This planet is also located in a relatively remote position in the galaxy. It is considered newly developed and suitable for sightseeing. Recently, it is preparing to vigorously develop tourism.Li Chen chose this place mainly because it has not yet become popular, and the place is remote, so there should not be so many tourists.

The itinerary this time is planned to last for five days, and Saenz can still accompany him to finish the itinerary, so he will return to the Dragon Clan ahead of schedule.Then in another week or so, Li Chen will take Song Lin and He Lang back to the Dragon Clan's territory, and we will be able to meet again at that time.

However, this seemingly well-arranged itinerary is destined to fail to be implemented smoothly.

On the third morning (Dragon Time) of the space flight, Saenz, Li Chen, He Lang, and Song Lin had just finished breakfast and were about to go back to have some fun, when suddenly there was a sound of "哐!!!" and the spaceship violently The earthquake shook!

He Lang immediately grabbed Song Lin and pulled him to his side, squinting his eyes: "What's going on?!"

The alarm on the spaceship sounded.

Woo--! ! !

The red light of the alarm light was flashing, and the passengers in the restaurant suddenly became flustered. Some subconsciously squatted down and hid under the table, and some got up and ran outside, not knowing where they were going.The staff did not receive any notice, and they looked at a loss for a while.Soon, someone began to confirm what happened through the work channel, and Saenz also stood up: "I'll go and see..."

Li Chen grabbed him: "Don't act rashly!"

"That's right." He Lang quickly opened the hidden function of his communicator. Normally, this function might invade and affect the signal transmission on the ship, but now he can't care about it.He Lang froze for a while, and then frowned: "There are abnormal equipment docked on the outer surface of the spaceship, and there is no safety certification mark... They are interstellar pirates!"

At any rate, he knew how to lower his voice, otherwise his voice would have scared the whole restaurant into howling ghosts and howling ghosts.

But he didn't need to announce it loudly, there were also people looking out from the glass of the restaurant.Then someone pointed upwards and screamed: "What is that!!!"

Saenz and Li Chen ran over to have a look, and found that it was the flank of an unfamiliar spaceship.

"It should be rebuilt from a battleship." He Lang also came over to take a look, "It must have followed behind, and then released the landing machine to break through from the outside...Look here."

He Lang pointed to the schematic diagram of the spaceship on the communicator: "The air pressure here is alarming, it must be an external breakthrough that caused a sudden change in air pressure!"

Li Chen frowned: "They have already come in, I don't know if the guards on the ship can beat them..."

He Lang said succinctly: "Interstellar pirates at the battleship level are very rich."

Battleships can be bought on the black market. Once such interstellar pirates target anyone, it will be very bad luck for those who are targeted.Moreover, this is a flight dedicated to transporting passengers, and the security equipment can only be said to be at a standard level.If you want to fight with a star thief at the battleship level... then you can see how tragic the result will be.

The star thieves are picking soft persimmons, so how can they talk about the benevolence and righteousness of fair negotiation?

Song Lin said, "Won't this cause the oxygen in the entire spaceship to be lost?"

"No, look, it's starting to return to normal levels." He Lang said, "The Star Pirate's lander must have a repair function or temporary plugging measures. If the air supply system in the ship is normal, the oxygen and air pressure will soon return to normal. It seems that these gang of star thieves are not going to loot and kill people, at least not in the first step."

"It's about kidnapping for ransom." Saenz narrowed his eyes, "Let's not talk about whether the government is willing to pay the ransom, even if..."

Before the words were finished, the announcement on the flight suddenly rang, and the TV screen also jumped suddenly, switching to the captain's channel.

However, the main character in the picture is not the captain who once addressed the passengers.

In front of the camera is a masked man in combat clothing, and it is obvious at a glance that he is not a staff member on the ship.Anyone who has read some interstellar news can guess the origin of this classic dress.

——It’s really a star thief!

Li Chen whispered: "It's so fast, have you arrived at the captain's cabin?"

He Lang said: "The air pressure near the captain's cabin once fluctuated, and some people headed towards the captain's cabin from the very beginning."

The masked man said: "Hello everyone, we are the Sarilang Star Bandit Group."

"what!!!"

The passengers in the restaurant panicked and screamed endlessly.Everyone watched the restaurant door close automatically, and tried to open it again, but it couldn't be opened again.

The masked man seemed to know the panic elsewhere in the spacecraft, smiled happily, and said in a slow tone: "Everyone, don't panic, we are just seeking money, not killing people... If everything goes well."

He gave up his position, and behind him was a star thief pushing the captain forward, with a laser gun pointed at the captain's head.

The masked man continued: "Let me declare that we have controlled all the systems of this spaceship, and now all the doors have been automatically locked. Next, we will check the situation inside all the doors one by one. Please stay safe. impatient."

Another person next to him said: "All the passenger manifests for this ship have been received."

"Oh." The masked man asked, "Where's the communication equipment?"

"Okay." Someone replied, "I have taken control of all the signal towers of this ship."

"Did you hear that, everyone?" The masked man smiled sinisterly, "The signal tower has been controlled by us, and we will see all the messages sent through the signal tower..."

A voice next to him said: "Boss, you should really check out their distress message, it's so funny. Someone even took a photo of us and wanted to send it to relatives and friends, hahahaha..."

These words shocked everyone who was trying to call the police and seek help from their relatives.

In space travel, there may not be many signal stations far away from the living planet, so most of the external information is transferred through the signal tower on the flight.Moreover, in order to communicate normally and maintain information transmission in an emergency, the signal tower is actually managed separately from other equipment on the spacecraft, and only a few key staff who have mastered the key can unlock it.

But now that the Star Pirates have even hijacked the captain, it is not surprising that the signal tower was hijacked.

"You can't get this information out, give up." The masked man said, "Don't think that the patrols can come to rescue you, we are more familiar with their patrol routes than you. Even if they want to save people, the time it takes Enough for us to kill everyone on board and run away."

The person next to him said: "Hey, Boss, you have sent out more messages by saying this. Tsk tsk, you are really not threatening."

The masked man didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Track the signal, anyone who sends it again will be killed."

"Yes!"

As soon as the order came out, the person who was still trying to send the message froze his hands.

"Woooooo what should I do?"

"Help, who can save us?!"

"Stop sending messages, do you want to attract Star Thief?!"

The passengers in the restaurant panicked, crying and discussing, and some people were packing all kinds of snacks into their bags, and they didn't know what kind of "strategic reserve" was on their minds.

The four who were most calm and relaxed were Saenz, Li Chen, He Lang and Song Lin.

Saenz asked He Lang: "Can your communicator bypass the signal tower and send messages?"

"Song Lin and I are fine." He Lang immediately understood what he meant, "I'll build a hotspot bridge for you, and you want to call the police?"

"No report. Didn't they say that they will run away before the patrol comes?" Saenz boarded He Lang's hotspot, "Coincidentally, the Dragon Clan has also joined the 'Joint Attack on Star Pirates' and accepted the hijacked ship's request for help." 's interstellar cooperation."

As he spoke, Saenz pressed the call for help—to the Dragon Clan.

The speed of ordinary warships is too late, how about dragon warships that can jump through wormholes?

***

The star thief who checked the passengers soon came to the restaurant.

As soon as the gun was raised, the crystal chandelier was knocked down with a "bang", and shattered all over the ground.

"what--!!!"

There were screams, and several star thieves came in, holding guns: "Everyone come out and squat, put your head in your hands, shut up! Whoever talks again will shut up forever!"

The passengers choked on their own voices, only one young child couldn't understand the threat, and only his crying was particularly obvious in the suddenly quiet restaurant.

His parents quickly covered his mouth, and at that moment, the Star Bandit fired a shot in the child's direction.

boom!

The bullet hit the table in front of him, directly blowing up half of the table.The wreckage fell on the child and his parents, which made the child cry even more, but his parents covered his mouth tightly, trembling all over, for fear that the star thief would shoot again.

"Tsk, missed, bad luck." The star thieves didn't bother to make up, and shouted for everyone to come out and squat down.The parents who were holding the child also came out and squatted down. The child was suffocated and his face was flushed, but his parents did not dare to let go of him.

Saenz and the others looked at each other, and went out to squat in coordination.

At this moment, they reached a tacit agreement - wait for the rescue of the Dragon Clan to arrive, and then respond inside and outside.

However, the trip never went as planned.

The accident still happened to the parents who were covering the child tightly. They squatted down holding the child, and the child struggled while crying.The star thief sneered, walked in front of them, and shook the gun in his hand: "What did I say?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The parents apologized in trepidation, "He is still young and doesn't know anything, please do me a favor..."

"Do you want me to let him go?" Star Bandit raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It's not impossible...but what do you give in exchange? What can you exchange for his life? Oh no, you are all talking now, what will you exchange for you?" The fate of the family?"

"We, we..." The child's father's voice was trembling, "We know who on this boat can give the most ransom!"

"Tell me?"

"It's them!"

The child's father suddenly pointed to where Song Lin and He Lang were.

"They are well-known explorers and spiritual groomers, they must be very rich!"
