Qizi

No more, no less than 10 minutes, Hong Mao jumped out of the engine room with a wrench in his mouth, and there were only four people in the engine room including him.

The indicator lights on the panel lit up one after another, and the cosmic scavenger, which seemed to have been swept by strong winds and waves, regained its power.

"I can only recover [-] to [-]%, and I can do it." Time is tight and parts are scarce. As a non-mechanical student, it is not easy to do these things.

"You've done a good job," Bingcan praised him, and then turned to Yingfeng worriedly. From his angle, he could only see his motionless back in the cockpit, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Well, even if we recover [-]% of the power, it is impossible to fly faster than the starship," Yingfeng said in a low voice, "This is the only way to gain time."

"If this is your decision, I will fully cooperate," he turned his head to summon the red hair, "you drive, let go of the rope, and return immediately."

The scavenger disconnected from the escape pod, and the rope drifted irregularly in space due to inertia, as if trying to catch something.But its original owner turned away mercilessly, and the spherical escape pod was just like before, floating alone in the universe, like a planet without orbit.

A huge black starship sailed over, swallowed it silently, and gradually disappeared into the darkness. If it weren't for the scattered fragments floating here after the scavenger was hit, no one would have noticed what happened here. what.

The escape pod was sucked into the interior of the starship. It was originally a part of this place. The mechanical arm accurately found the pressure valve. With the opening of the hatch, a tall man appeared in the circular field of vision.

Ling Xiao's hibernation was only for this moment. He had already flipped out of the airtight cabin neatly the moment the hatch door opened, quickly assembled a weapon in the palm of his right hand, and took advantage of the opponent's surprise, aiming the muzzle firmly at his chest .

"Don't move."

"How is it?" Bingcan saw white lights glowing between Yingfeng's fingers, and knew that the soul crystal he had been holding tightly in his hand had been activated, which meant that Ling Xiao had already faced the enemy head-on.

Yingfeng closed his eyes, his sight was no longer here.

"There is only one person on the other side." He looked at a corner of the starship through his spiritual vision. The size of this starship was several times that of the decommissioned ship they saw in the military academy, but there was only one living person within sight. The jobs that should be done by people are all done by machines.

"The other party must not have thought that we dared to send someone to break into its territory alone, so it was unprepared."

"But there must be other people here. Mechanics alone cannot operate such a large starship."

Ling Xiao confronted the man in front of him alone. Although the man was held hostage, he still stood there calmly. Apart from the slight surprise at the beginning, he didn't pay attention to the man who compared him with a gun at all.

The difference between them is not in weapons, but in age and experience, the maturity that has experienced big winds and waves, and the fearlessness that has not been deeply involved in the world. When their eyes meet, there is a gap formed by hundreds of years in front of them.

"It's you?" The tall man recognized the reckless young man.

Ling Xiao heard him say this, but couldn't think of when he had met him.

But now is not the time to question the identity of the other party. He pushed the gun in his hand forward and emphasized again, "Don't move, open your hands."

The gun activated by Yingfeng is very powerful in short-distance shooting. It can easily make a hole the size of a bowl in the opponent's chest. Presumably the opponent must know this. He spread his hands openly, and there is nothing inside. Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let them go, don't chase them."

The man looked at the uniform on Ling Xiao calmly, "You are not old, but you are not young. Those who are with you on that junk ship are all your classmates. As long as there is an adult around, it's okay sent you."

"I'm already an adult," Ling Xiao straightened his back.

The other party responded with a disdainful sneer.

"Where are you going to take Shang Yang?"

A muffled thunder rang in Ling Xiao's mind.

He raised his head abruptly, "Are you Tai Yin?"

He never imagined that the person standing in front of him would be Tai Yin, a national first-class wanted criminal who even the military department can't do anything about him, and a genius scientist who has lived for more than 400 years.This person is still alive, so for so many years, he has been living on the starship to avoid the military's pursuit, and the baby that was kidnapped by him is still fleeing desperately to this day.

Ling Xiao's hand holding the gun was filled with cold sweat. Facing this dangerous element, and how many people he couldn't see at the moment, what chances did he have of winning?

He didn't relax for a moment, and at the same time carefully looked around with his peripheral vision. Taiyin's companion hadn't appeared until now, but Ling Xiao believed that he would not be the only person on this starship.

If I remember correctly, Dr. Zhishang is not a soul crystal user, but what about Tai Yin, who is also the chief researcher of the base?Even if he doesn't know how to use soul crystals, he is also the inventor of two generations of burning embers, and he has single-handedly broken through the encirclement of the military. In front of this person, he cannot be taken lightly.

But no matter what, Shang Yang can't be allowed to fall into his hands again.

Yingfeng could see the scene, but couldn't hear their conversation, so he could barely recognize them from their mouth movements.

"What are they talking about?"

"That person seems to know Ling Xiao."

"What? Do you know him?"

"Never seen."

"They probably won't be able to catch up, it's better to call Ling Xiao back as soon as possible," Bingcan always had a premonition of uneasiness.

"Well," Yingfeng used Qizi to summon, but Ling Xiao didn't appear as expected. He was shocked and concentrated again, but felt that the end of his mind was empty and he couldn't grasp anything.

Bingcan stood up. Although Yingfeng didn't say anything, his expression told him that what he was most worried about had happened.

"They should have gone far away, don't you mind if you are left alone like this?" Tai Yin reminded Ling Xiao kindly.

The time was about the same as Ling Xiao expected. Even if he left now, Tai Yin would not be able to catch up with them. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's tone became much more relaxed.

"I have not been left alone," he curled his lips, "your indentured son is dead, but my indentured master is still alive."

His words successfully made Tai Yin's face darken a bit, "Isn't your so-called battle plan just to send you to delay the time, and then let your lord call you back, is it so childish?"

"Whether you're young or not, it's a fact that you can't catch up with them."

"But you can't go back either."

Ling Xiao tried his best to show his composure on the surface, but in his heart he had already begun to wonder, Yingfeng should have pulled him back long ago, but why didn't he do it until now?

Seeing his appearance, Tai Yin knew that he had guessed right.

"The young man has never been half a step away from his beneficiary, right? I really think that the little bit of ability of the beneficiary is omnipotent, he dares to break into any place, dare to rob anyone, and he doesn't know his own weight first."

"Do you know the range of the owner's summoning? When they speed up for the second time, you can no longer teleport to each other, followed by the failure of the spiritual vision, and finally the voice of spiritual communication can't be conveyed. Speaking of it What a pity, sometimes the blood pact is powerless in the face of distance."

Ling Xiao's face gradually turned pale, and Yingfeng's voice sounded in his mind almost as evidence.

— Something went wrong with the plan, I...

His voice stopped abruptly, the scavenger had already left the effective range of telepathic communication, Ling Xiao believed that what Tai Yin said was true.

"Now do you know why I am not in a hurry to chase after you?" Tai Yin said with a confident tone, "Because they will come back sooner or later, unless they don't care about your life or death at all."

"What's the matter?" Bingcan took a step forward anxiously.

Yingfeng had a complicated expression, "...the summoning seems to have a distance limit, and I have lost contact with him."

The scavenger made a sudden stop.

"You said you couldn't recall Ling Xiao? Why didn't you find out earlier?" Hong Mao was about to turn around as soon as he pulled the control lever, but his movement was only halfway through, and he was abruptly stopped.

Hongmao turned his head in surprise, it was Yingfeng who stopped him, and the other party's eyes flickered, as if a battle between heaven and man was going on in his heart.

"What are you doing!" he demanded.

"Don't turn around, keep going." Yingfeng's voice was very low, as if it came from deep in his throat.

"Are you kidding me?! Ling Xiao is there alone, do you know how dangerous that is?"

Yingfeng was silent for a few seconds, and said with difficulty, "I know."

"Knowing that you still want to stop me?" Hongmao said angrily incomprehensibly, "Even if you only have three stars in your relationship, he is still your son, don't you even care about his life or death?"

The other hand was attached to the back of Hongmao's hand, gentle but firm, "Yingfeng's decision is right, do as he said."

"Even you..."

Bingcan turned her head, and Hongmao followed subconsciously, and the unidentified young state was lying there, although she received treatment, she was still unconscious.

On one side is Ling Xiao, and on the other side is the young state. Without a single extra word, Hongmao already understood what they wanted to say.

This plan was drawn up very hastily, but someone must have anticipated any possible situations in their minds, which naturally included the one where Ling Xiao could not come back.

This decision had already been made the moment Ling Xiao entered the escape pod. Every adult Tianxiu would protect their young with their own lives. This was the foundation for their race to survive.

Hongmao's hand holding the control lever began to tremble, feeling his struggle, Bingcan increased the strength in his hand.

He can completely let go of Qizi, who controls him by force, but at this moment, he hopes that Qian Si can make his own decision.

"I understand."

Red Mao closed his eyes and pushed up the control lever in his hand, and the scavenger drove to the space station at the fastest speed according to the original route.

"No, you are wrong." The young man in front of Tai Yin suddenly said.

Tai Yin raised his eyebrows, not knowing where he was wrong.

"They're not coming back, not even if I'm here."

"It seems that your owner and companions have no more feelings for you than that. They knew you were in danger and didn't come back to save you."

"It has nothing to do with the quality of the relationship, the reason I have just said," Ling Xiao looked into his eyes calmly, "Because I am an adult, I am always ready to sacrifice for the young, I believe in my companions You guys, will make the same choice as me. That naive state is not Shang Yang, he risked his soul to be scattered in the universe to escape from here, don’t you understand his choice by now?”

Tai Yin stared at him sullenly, "I don't know how others choose, I only know that you will be in big trouble soon."

With a muffled sound, Ling Xiao fell limply to the ground and lost consciousness.After he fell down, the person standing behind him was revealed, with green smoke still emitting from the muzzle of the anesthesia gun in his hand.

"It's too slow," Tai Yin scolded him dissatisfied.

"I'm just curious that you haven't come back for so long, so I kindly came down to take a look. I didn't expect you to be so stupid that someone hijacked you. As a genius scientist with your IQ, did you also leave on the day Shang Yang fled?"

"They drove the cleaners. I thought they were space cleaners, but I didn't expect them to be students of Yutian. It was my carelessness."

"Anyway, you still have hostages in your hands now, so why don't you just let them replace them?"

"Don't be naive, the military won't exchange a baby state for an adult, this person is useless at all, and will attract the military's firepower."

"That's it," the man shrugged, "then I'll just throw him out of here."

"What I mean is useless is for me, but he is the person wanted by the star building, and we have to ensure that he is alive and well," Tai Yin complained in a low voice, "how could we run into him so unlucky."

"It's not about losing it, it's not about keeping it, so what should we do now?"

Tai Yin thought for a while, "Throw him into the escape pod, leave a signal for him, and someone will find him."

"It's really troublesome," the man wanted to pick up the gun on the ground, but the weapon disappeared the moment it left Ling Xiao's hand.

"...The ones who use soul crystal weapons are the most annoying. You don't leave any spoils of war."

A mechanical alarm sounded from the speaker, "The radar has detected that a flying fleet is approaching, do you want to change the course?"

Tai Yin snorted, "It came so fast."

He turned around and walked quickly to the upper floor, telling loudly while walking, "Leave that person alone, you will be found if you throw him out now. Shang Yang should have been sent to the nearest space station, let's hurry up and find him and get out of here."

The mutilated scavengers rushed into the space station, and the staff were already waiting near the runway.

"We have notified the military to go to the rescue. You have done a good job. Just leave the next thing to us. The superior ordered you to return to the ground immediately."

Before Bingcan and Hongmao, who helped to lift the young form out of the cabin, could say no, the scavenger in the parked state quickly reversed and sailed into space while everyone was stunned.

Hongmao chased after a few steps angrily, "Yingfeng, you idiot, what's the use of driving a garbage truck? You should take me with you!"

A two-person military battleship parked beside him silently, the hatch was opened, revealing the ice light on the driver's seat.

The red hair's eyes lit up, and he rushed in, Bingcan pulled the control lever, and once again swaggered away in front of the staff, the people who reacted rushed to chase, but they couldn't catch up with the speed of the battleship.

"My beneficiary is much smarter than Ling Xiao's benefactor." Hongmao proudly watched the group of people behind running and waved them to stop, "so I am much smarter than Ling Xiao."

"The causal relationship is not established," Bingcan activated the second acceleration, he must catch up with Yingfeng as soon as possible, "The starship just now has a stealth system, even the military may not be able to find it."

The red hair immediately became nervous, "Then who can find it?"

"Yingfeng, if Ling Xiao is still in that starship, only Yingfeng can find it."
