waves among the stars

Chapter 16 Life is like a play

It doesn't seem like a big deal for a Star Thief group to kill a spaceship passenger.

The star thief is a bastard who robs houses and houses, and it seems normal to refuse to save them or even fall into a well.

If it's just like this, it's nothing to the star thief who lives on knife edge 1 every day. Can fame be eaten?Can you kill the enemy?Why do you want fame?

But based on the cosmic convention, there is also a general rule derived. If there is a spaceship that will not be saved, then no one will lend a helping hand to the people on the spaceship who will drift among the stars in the future.

If the nearby ship is not a star thief, but an ordinary civilian spaceship, it is probably fine. After all, the passengers in the spaceship come from all over the world, and they will leave as soon as they get off the spaceship. Who knows they have done such a bad thing!

But the problem is that this group of people in front of them are star thieves, and they are still qualified to participate in the division of interests. The famous star thieves, the name of the star thief group is Kerken, and Kerken is a very powerful beast on a certain planet. The gang of thieves used Kerken as their name.

In the future, their Kerken star thieves will encounter trouble when they go out, drifting in the universe, and finally come across a ship, but when the ship is checked and found to be a member of the Kerken star bandit group, it must be haha Smile and wave goodbye.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't save, who told you to violate the cosmic convention first?"

Although the power of the Skor galaxy is complex, there are also many civilian spaceships on the surface. They will help the wandering star pirates during their travels, provided that the star pirates have not violated the cosmic convention.

In other words, if the civilian spaceship in front of me is really self-destructing, then their Kerken Star Thieves will not only get no benefit, but will also bear the reputation of violating the cosmic convention. The bandits.

The star thief boss is not an idiot either, after he figured out the twists and turns, he clapped angrily at the console next to him: "This bastard is a ruthless person!"

It's too abominable, this is directly roasting their Kerken Star Thief Group in the fire!

The younger brother asked the boss: "What shall we do?"

Star Thief Boss: "Stop the battleship first!"

The star thief boss took a deep breath. He suppressed his anger and negotiated with Lika indifferently: "As expected of the big star invited by old Cass, he has two brushes, but it doesn't matter. Didn't you send out a distress signal? Use our signal device , Let’s see who dares to come to rescue you.”

Lika's palms are full of sweat, this is really life depends on acting skills, thank God he is a great actor with good acting skills!

Lika sighed slightly, showing three quarters of his face, with melancholy and sadness flashing in his eyes, he listened to An Ze's voice, and said in a firm tone: "We will go straight back to the space jump area, Get out of the Skor system."

Star Pirate sneered, the rabbit on his lips still wanted to fly away?dream!

Lika's voice changed, her face full of bitterness: "But I don't think you will watch us leave."

Then Lika's face became serious: "So I apply for the Mary Convention."

Star Thief Boss: "..."

He wiped his face and asked the younger brother beside him: "Is this big star really just a star?"

The Marie Convention, this is also something that the star thieves in the Scott galaxy or those who know the star thieves very well will know, it is a customary rule.

Star Thieves usually ask for money. If the person who is kidnapped or held hostage pays the money on his own initiative and the two parties reach an agreement, then Star Thief can leave happily, and the hijacked spaceship can go home safely.

After all, if money is gone, you can earn more, but if life is gone, it will be really cold.

There are quite a lot of bastards who kidnap and seek money in the Sike galaxy. The so-called sustainable development can only be tied once if the ticket is torn up. If you don’t tear the ticket, can you be tied many times~

The first person who boldly stepped forward to deal with the star thieves was a lady named Mary. She successfully appeased more than 100 passengers including herself, negotiated with the star thieves who hijacked them, and reached a peaceful redemption.

No matter what measures the Federation will take against this star thief in the future, the people on their spaceship survived safely.

Since then, such a redemption method has been derived in the Skor galaxy, and it is called the Mary Convention by insiders.

But how did Lika know about this Marie convention?This convention is generally only circulated within the Skor galaxy?

The star thief boss was puzzled, but his face was still tense, and his voice could not hear the emotion: "What can you exchange?"

Lika said quickly, "Antibiotics."

The star thief boss fell silent for a moment, damn, this Lika is really a good thing.

As I said before, there are many undeveloped planets in the Skok galaxy. If the star thieves are in a hurry to be chased, they will usually go to these undeveloped planets to avoid being hunted down. Atmospheric composition and internal terrain structure.

If the oxygen carrying capacity is insufficient or the air is found to be full of poisonous gas, super-specific antibiotics are needed at this time. Antibiotics can stimulate the potential of a person at a critical moment and burst out powerful energy and perseverance in a short period of time. During this period, the body functions can be Using very limited oxygen to create powerful energy for human action and survival.

Or maybe there are some frozen ancient bacteria on the temporary running planet, if they come into contact with human blood and are stimulated to live... Hey, that would be a catastrophe. Without antibiotics, it would be really cold, even for To prevent the germs from being brought back, they will be directly burned to slag by their companions, what a miserable word.

The Scott galaxy is a remote galaxy, and civilian biomedical technology is underdeveloped. Powerful antibiotics are controlled by large consortiums. Small gangs of star robbers or mercenaries can only purchase antibiotics from large consortiums for emergencies.

Strong antibiotics are not only expensive, but also in short supply.

Today, in the entire Skool Galaxy, except for the government that can obtain some antibiotics through the Federation, some powerful consortiums and big families have set up laboratories here to research antibiotics by themselves, and [-]% of the powerful antibiotics circulating on the black market are smuggled... oh No, it was purchased on behalf of others.

It is the federal government and several powerful forces that control the external passages of the entire Skor galaxy. Naturally, it is not possible for the small star thief gang who was forced to trouble Lika to get involved. Their little star thief gang wants antibiotics, so they really Can only spend money to buy.

"We brought a lot of antibiotics this time, because the stomach is not good in our line of work, and I'm afraid that the water and soil here will not be acclimatized, and there will be some incurable diseases." After all, the medical technology here is also average.

When Lika saw that the other party was moved, he struck while the iron was hot: "Can I use antibiotics in exchange for our ship to leave safely?"

The star thief boss was a little unwilling: "If I swallow your ship, not only antibiotics, but you will also be my commodity."

There was a flash of fierceness in Lika's eyes. He recalled a certain ruthless role he played in the past, adjusted his facial expression and said ruthlessly: "Then we can only die together!"

At this moment, Anze suddenly reached out and pulled Lika's sleeve, with a timid look: "Uncle?"

Lika's face changed drastically, and he quickly pushed Anze out of the video signal: "Go aside, don't disturb me!"

Star Thief boss's eyes lit up: "That's all right, I can accept the Mary treaty you proposed, but you need to keep me a hostage."

Lika frowned: "Keep hostages?"

"I not only need the antibiotics on your ship, but I also need you to buy more antibiotics for me." The interstellar boss thought he was really smart: "You keep me a hostage, and next time you will bring more antibiotics to replace the hostages. Otherwise, talk about it."

Lika's heart sank, the problem came, he brought all the old buddies who had cooperated with him for many years this time, so who would stay?who is going?

At this moment, the communicator next to my ear rang again: "Tell me that you are willing to stay, trust me, Uncle Lika."

Lika pursed his lips and took a deep breath. He seemed to have gone through a great psychological struggle before he said, "Okay, I'll stay, they go!"

The two ships, whether it was the star thief or the crew brought by Lika, couldn't help but wow.

The star thieves gave a good evaluation: "This guy is interesting enough to be a brother."

All the star thieves think so, not to mention the people around Lika. A buddy who has known Lika for decades immediately said: "Lika! You are crazy! Have you forgotten your mother? I'll stay, you Walk!"

The Star Bandit boss clicked his tongue and said, "It's really touching, but I don't accept it."

He changed his voice: "I want your nephew as a hostage."

As soon as this remark came out, Lika immediately refused: "No! He is still a child!!"

Anze looked bewildered, and made a V sign to Ming Luo behind his back.

Ming Luo... Ming Luo didn't want to say anything anymore.

The Star Thief boss thought he had caught Lika's weakness, so he said, "You can't refuse! It's him!"

Uncle Lika fell into the most difficult decision in his life.

Should he agree to Star Bandit's request and let the 17-year-old Xikma [aka Anze] stay as a hostage, or should he refuse this request?

But if they refuse, maybe the star thief will tear up the agreement, and everyone in the spaceship will die by then.

The average life expectancy of human beings in the interstellar era is about 150 to 17 years old. If the age is converted synchronously, the [-]-year-old Anze is really just a child in the eyes of Lika.

Would you let a ten-year-old stand in front of the bandits, and you, a 30-year-old, turn around and run for your life?Lika couldn't do it anyway.

Lika took a deep breath and planned to reject the request of the star thief boss.

Anze was right beside Lika. He noticed the cold light flashing in Lika's eyes and the sudden resolute expression. His heart moved, and he immediately waved his hand to Ming Luo.

Ming Luo stepped forward quickly: "Let's talk in 10 minutes!"

Then Ming Luo cut off the video signal neatly.
