black queen hypothesis

On the sixth day of departure from Capiter, the cruise ship Almonsaro will arrive at the end of the official channel.In fact, from the fourth day onwards, very few other ships were seen on the course.

"Fuel? Supplies? Navigation system? Power system? Guard ship?"

"Report Captain, everything is normal."

On the main bridge, people are busy and orderly.After checking the situation, the captain made a decision to proceed. "Target Utimo! Increase the vigilance by two levels!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, Vilas also came to the conclusion that the mothership was gradually approaching the Utimo planet.

After leaving the official channel, for safety reasons, most ships will not take the risk of space jumping.On regular interstellar voyages, it's much easier to do something bad.If someone wants to take him, the next day and a half is the best time, especially when he changes to the anti-gravity anti-matter vehicle.

But that's just one of guesswork.If the anti-gravity anti-matter aircraft can be obtained, it would be more appropriate to wait for the federation to send him to the planet Utimo before doing it.After all, it would save a lot of trouble if we could avoid a head-on firefight with the federal army.

Vilas thought, if it was him, he would definitely choose the latter.But if it is that person, the other party is likely to find the former more interesting.

... What a pervert!

When Vilas was ready to inject himself with the neutralizing agent at any time, Silvio had already changed into his diving suit and was about to enter the landing ship.

"I must remind you that you are taking a great risk." The artificial intelligence tried to persuade him, "The supplies of the landing ship can only last for three days, and it takes three days to go back and forth to Utimo. Not to mention, the distance from here Cape Sounion is very close."

Of course Silvio knew that it was safe to bring double supplies under normal circumstances.But the problem is... "If it's Smitz, I don't think he has the patience to wait until Emmonsaro gets to Utimer."

The artificial intelligence was silent for a moment. "Then please allow me to follow you."

"Keep a safe distance. Don't approach without my order." When Silvio said this, he had already sat in the pilot's seat of the landing ship.

The landing ship has already connected to all the channels of the Athena, including the monitoring signal of the Emmonsaro.Oswal was squatting upright, not wanting to take his eyes off the dozing person on the screen for a second.

Silvio glanced at the white lion, then turned back. "Quin probably also knows about the existence of Smitz." He whispered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It seems that there is a good show."

For the first twelve hours of the Emmonsaro's self-scheduled course, everything was normal. No.13 hours, the driver found several wrecks of merchant ships floating in the rocky belt in the distance.

The captain frowned.It is normal for the Pirate Star Field to have such a thing, so he ordered a small correction to the course.

However, when their straight-line distance was shortened to the shortest distance, the wreckage suddenly moved.

"Oops, we ran into pirates!"

The first to notice the problem was the navigator.The captain who had just changed his shift heard the news, but he still didn't quite believe it. "Emmonsaro didn't scan for the existence of the camouflage barrier..." The doubt stopped abruptly after he saw the deformation process of the wreckage, "Biological fluid spaceship! It turned out to be Pitatus Pirates!" He sank sharply. He lowered his face and quickly ordered: "Warning! If they invade a safe distance, fire directly!"

The biofluid spaceship is not made of living organisms, but it can indeed be combined and changed freely, thus showing different external color forms.This advantage is not only reflected in Tian|Yi's seamless imitation of merchant ship wreckage, but also in the efficient evasion of pulse weapons and particle beam weapons——

"They can't aim! No, they can't hit even if they aim!"

This situation is already bad, but there are worse ones—the Pitatus Pirates brought more than a few biofluid spaceships; in fact, at least one-third of the meteorites in the rock belt are pirate spaceships disguised of.

The captain felt cold sweat dripping down his back.The ultra-high concealment of the bio-fluid spaceship was obtained by sacrificing the attack ability, and he thought they could deal with them at first; but now the number of them is like leeches... "Immediately ask for support..."

Before the "aid" could be exported, the entire Ammonsaro shook violently. "Report, they have begun to break through the protective circle of the escort ship!"

The sharp sirens echoed throughout the cruiser, and this was what Vilas was waiting for.He injected the neutralizer without hesitation, concentrating with all his strength—the pain of the needle prick has not passed, and he has located the person he needs—four sentries outside the cell, two in front of the monitor, and medical staff The two guides of the cabin—

"Remove the insurance and open the door."

"Everything is normal in the lower level."

"Send the neutralizer to the deck of the landing ship immediately."

There was no time to resist, and the mental images of these soldiers and medical officers became what Vilas wanted them to see, and they followed suit one by one.The moment the prison door opened, Vilas rushed out and ran to the hangar at the fastest speed.That's easy, since almost everyone's attention is drawn to the pirates.

No. 17 seconds after the impact, Vilas successfully entered the landing ship.Before the door of the ship closed, he simply tore off the wristband and threw it out. After turning around, he accurately rushed to the start button, and gave himself a shot of dark blue neutralizing agent while remotely manipulating the pilot to open the stern——

This series of actions does not take more than three seconds.The faint surge of hotness in the depths of his body was suppressed, and he finally smiled.

There was chaos on the main bridge when the landing craft flew out of the Ammonsaro—

"Alert, new alert!"

"Wait, who opened the bulwark?"

"No, the cell is empty! Quinn has escaped!"

Regardless of the situation of the landing ship or the main bridge, everything fell into Silvio's eyes.It has to be said that the comparison between the two sides makes it even more obvious that Veras Quinn, the number one guide in the interstellar world, is worthy of his name, and his actions are so coherent that it is pleasing to the eye.

In addition, since Vilas injected the neutralizer, Oswal became more energetic, his eyes were round and bright, and his two fluffy ears moved with Vilas' movements.

Silvio stared at the flexible landing ship like a loach, and temporarily had no time to distract himself from his not-so-obedient spiritual guide. "It seems that the A-level sentinel didn't judge him in vain." He whispered to himself, and at the same time slammed down the accelerator lever. "Come on, Quinn!"

As for Vilas, he realized as soon as he stepped out of the cruise ship that the pirates had played too much this time.The dark sky was filled with bio-fluid spaceships, and lasers and ion beams of various colors spread all over, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to his escape.

It seems that Smits is certain to capture him alive...

"Damn it!" Vilas cursed in a low voice, his eyes wandered around, and at the same time he opened his mental image, trying to find a breakthrough.

It's a risky move.Because there are too many strange signals, he can't control the overall situation, someone will always find his spiritual touch, and then find his coordinates.But this matter is extremely urgent, he must race against time, he can't take care of so much——

Then he located a landing ship that had obviously just broken out of the invisible barrier.

……Mr President?

Vilas didn't recognize the spiritual barriers of most people present, but Silvio's he couldn't help but be impressed—because of the extremely high degree of compatibility, their brief close contact accidentally led to a certain degree of spiritual union.Although it was still far from a complete union, it still turned the other party into a lighthouse in his mental image, the kind that could be seen from a long distance; with the sensitivity of the dark sentinel, the reverse was estimated to be similar.

In less than a second, Vilas realized that he must have been calculated——

Why did the Federation President sneakily appear on the outskirts of the Federation Starfield?Don't tell him it's a walk!

The anger was only for a moment, and Vilas quickly calmed down.Silvio took him as bait to catch Smitz, which is absolutely normal; in fact, isn't it a good way to catch a snipe and a clam to catch a fisherman by using one enemy to catch another enemy?

Realizing what Silvio wanted to do, Vilas immediately withdrew his mental touch from the opponent's surroundings.

Rampant pirates have been harassing the federal border, but so far no one knows where their home - Pitatus planet - is.If Silvio wants to get involved in the goal of eradicating the pirates, he needs a rare opportunity—for example, quietly following behind the pirates who captured him and made contributions!

That's right, the status of Pitatus to Cape Sounion is equivalent to that of Sils Maria to the Empire and Capitol to the Federation.Legend has it that Aishio Smitz—the pirate leader in name but the dark lord in essence—built a huge and majestic Crystal Palace on it, using the most beautiful buildings to hide the darkest secrets below.

Vilas can swear that whether it is a luxurious palace or a dark organization, he is not interested, not at all.It's a pity that the landing module is not equipped with an invisible barrier, and the pirate's spaceship has begun to notice him, so he can only come hard——

rush out!

Seeing the locust-like spaceship surrounding the lonely landing ship like an iron barrel, the captain of the Emmonsaro woke up like a dream.Pirates Pirates, who usually plundered everything, made such a big fuss this time, that it was only for one person? !

"Chase!" He gritted his teeth and gave the order to die.If the prisoners are lost, how can they have the face to return to the Federation?

The interstellar cruiser and the four escort ships turned almost simultaneously.But they're too bulky to fit into the chasing rush of small spaceships anytime soon.Just before the new landing ship was in place, the small landing ship was chased into a blind spot and slammed into several pirate spaceships next to it.

The dull explosion was accompanied by the dazzling fireworks blooming in the dark background, and the entire Federation crew was dumbfounded.
