It wouldn't be tolerated, and even though Rand didn't seem like a talkative person, he still didn't tell him.

"But didn't you meet a pirate?!"

Ike frowned when Rand blurted out: "How do you know?"

"Uh..." The well-educated young man showed an embarrassed expression, and told Ike a little embarrassedly, "I didn't tell you before, Ike, actually my full name is Lant Heber."

"..." Ike immediately understood that the Gemini spaceship he boarded before was the spaceship of the shipping company under the name of the Heber family.

The son of the owner of the shipping company... No wonder Rand's temperament is not like ordinary people at all.

Maybe it was because he concealed the other party, so Rand's expression became guilty and uneasy. He glanced at the uncle with special concern, and saw that he didn't have a particularly angry expression, so he took his hand: "Ike, I'm sorry, I'm not It's not intentional concealment. My father is the director of the shipping company of this space port. He is worried that I will be kidnapped, so he has been hiding my situation from the outside world..."

Ike didn't think there was any problem with concealing his life experience, and he never told the other party about his past.

What surprised him now was that Lante showed him more intimate body movements than before, and he broke away uncomfortably: "It doesn't matter, Lante."

Rand laughed in relief, with a cautious look on Sven's face: "Ike, I'm really worried that you will be angry with me, the conversation that day... Please forgive my immaturity, I really didn't I have encountered a same-sex confession, so I didn’t handle it well... I thought about it later, and I think we can actually try it...Of course, I don’t mean to enter that state right away, we mean...We can Try dating first, like a man and a woman... You know, I only dated girls before, and I don't know what to do with men, but I don't think it should be a problem... "He said with flushed cheeks, and his eyes were full of excitement about the upcoming attempt, which was different from any previous heterosexual interaction.

"stop!"

Ike made a pause gesture.

No matter how sad his life is, no matter how dry his love life is, he doesn't have to be reduced to getting physical comfort through others' sympathy for the elderly

"I'm really sorry. I misunderstood your kindness before. As for those words, you don't have to take them to heart. I don't mean that to you anymore."

"Huh? But..." Probably I have done a long time of psychological construction and convinced myself to accept this kind of feeling that is not normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but I didn't expect the other party to categorically say no, the young man I couldn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze.

"So, if there is nothing else, I think it's better for you not to stay here for too long. After all, the guests here and there are all refugees, and it's really not safe for you."

Rand stared dumbfounded at the closed door in front of him. The uncle who used to look forward to his arrival couldn't hide his eyes, which would glow like stars when he saw him. There is no room for him.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

The airframe emits a long, piercing sound that is clearly a warning signal, and the vibrations in the cabin are so violent that it can cause a temporary dysfunction of the central nervous system in the brain.

A small aircraft—the rescue capsule for a cargo ship is flying obliquely into the atmosphere of Planet 265 in a similar way of falling. The high-speed friction caused a high temperature of several thousand degrees, and the entire shell of the cabin was burned by fire.

The young man in the driver's seat tensed all his muscles, and his arms gripped the steering wheel quite tightly.

"! When—"

Apparently a large, visible mass peeled away from the hull and disappeared without a trace.

"Did you see it? It seemed like something fell out of us just now..."

Of course, the person driving the rescue capsule was Angus.

In order to gain time, the small battleship did not dock at the spaceport. When it was close to the outer space orbit, Sachs stuffed Angus and the mercenary uncle who went with him into the rescue capsule, and launched them directly to let them land on their own, and then the spaceship accelerated away. Rush to a destination in another galaxy.

But obviously, the rescue capsule that has saved Ike once has not been completely adjusted and corrected, and unnecessary life support devices have been removed so that there is an extra room for a burly mercenary uncle in the single rescue capsule. Space, after such an unreasonable treatment, it is not surprising that one or two parts will be lost.

Because the space was too small, the uncle mercenary who sat there almost curled up with his knees in his arms replied without raising his head: "It's the main buffer board."

"Oh... ah? The main bumper?!" Angus, who came to his senses, had no time to think about why NO.13 knew which part was missing without even looking at it.

Without the main buffer partition that reduces the gas velocity to balance the combustion on the surface of the spacecraft, the re-entry orbit of the small aircraft will be seriously shifted, and the re-entry angle between the velocity direction at the re-entry point and the ground plane will become larger, which is simple To put it bluntly, it just... fell head-down and crashed! !

"..."

"..."

"Does it mean that we are all going to die?"

"Common sense, yes."

"..." Angus looked back with a sad face. Although all Spartan soldiers are not allowed to have their own personal emotions, it seems that the mercenary uncle with a resolute side face is obviously not very happy, of course not Because of the turbulence of the journey or the imminent crash of the rescue capsule they were riding in, but because the space dug out by the rescue capsule was not enough for him to carry his "pillow" ─ ─ multi-barreled rotary machine gun.

"Increase the output power and readjust the heading."

"But our ship is a rescue capsule, not a battleship."

"...Then just need to land on the ground."

Angus nodded affirmatively: "That must be no problem."

But... land or crash, that is the question.

For Angus, who has only learned piloting skills for a few days and is currently operating an aircraft by himself for the first time, Sachs' irresponsible behavior is like pushing a suckling lion cub into the abyss to let him Climb up, of course, Angus is much thicker and thicker than the lion cub.

In the case of driving a small aircraft to land and accidentally lose the main bumper board and is about to crash, no matter how strong the nerves are, it would probably collapse and scream. However, Angus was surprisingly calm, just like peeling potatoes manner.It’s just that the situation is really a bit difficult now, the re-entry speed is uncontrollable, and the course is seriously deviated. Even if it is reset, there must be enough power to be able to re-adjust the angle, but small aircraft do not have such a function.

Suddenly at this time, Angus saw through the isolation window and the layer of bright red flames that there was actually a silver spaceship not far away that was landing on the ground like them.

The spaceship was extremely large, even several times larger than their small warships, and its irregular shape was quite different from ordinary spaceships, a type Angus had never seen before.

The laminated metal panels are as exaggerated and complex as a work of art, but they don't seem to be useless. After being opened during the descent, they are very effective in cushioning the huge hull, and the descent speed is quite stable.

Angus suddenly thought of a strange idea.

He once saw in the boss's book collection that there was a kind of small fish in the ocean of the ancient mother planet, which would travel safely as if attached to a huge whale like an island.

Isn't the situation like that now?

So without the slightest hesitation, he reversed his direction and rushed towards the direction of the big boat.

The violent turbulence of the hull can definitely shake off the bones of the people in the cabin. Angus gritted his teeth and endured concentration, for fear of accidentally crashing into the opponent's hull. Same pop up.

As for the passengers behind him, it is estimated that they have long been accustomed to the bumps of this forced landing, and have already slept as soundly as a baby in a cradle.

During the same high-speed descent, the big silver spaceship and their small rescue pods kept each other in motion for a very short moment. Although this moment was very short, Angus grasped it keenly.

If you stop and slow down at this moment in time and space, the sound of violent wind and burning flames caused by the huge friction seems to have disappeared. The small aircraft suddenly extinguished the energy source of the drive very boldly and riskily, and the fragile shell There was an intimate contact with the metal hard shell of the terrifying big man, and then... the speed began to normalize, and the rescue capsule that landed on the back of the big spaceship couldn't control the inertia, and continuous rollover occurred on the smooth shell of the spaceship. The beautiful silver panel A very ugly scratch was scratched on the top, and the tripod of the rescue cabin finally got stuck on the abrupt windshield wing and stopped.

Although everything was unsatisfactory, the bad luck of falling to the ground and crashing directly was finally avoided.

The silver spaceship was obviously not affected by the forced landing of the bug. She calmly and gracefully changed its shape when it was about 5000 meters above the ground. The complex folded metal panels were like the legendary Oriental Rubik's Cube, changing itself with the same quality Several anti-gravity jet engines protruded from the cracks, ejected a huge reaction force as if tearing everything up, rolled up a violent gust, and finally fell smoothly to a part of the spaceport that seemed to be specially prepared for VIPs. On the wide apron.

"Safe landing."
