Guided by the traction beam, the shuttle slowly moored into the No. 2 apron of the scientific research spacecraft.
After the cabin door was closed and the air pressure returned to normal, Clapin, who was worried, led Tang Fang and others to get off the shuttle.
The personnel responsible for receiving the response first took the three wounded to the medical class for treatment, and Tang Fang and others were arranged to rest in the living area. As for Clapin, he was led by the adjutant to the bridge to meet Joanna.
Along the way, all the sights, including the original soldiers, engineers, and scientific researchers who retreated from the ground base, all looked worried.
The entire base was occupied by aliens, and no one in ten combatants survived. No one could be happy with such losses.
Of course, this does not include Hausen, Byron and his group. Those guys almost took their lives. In this turbulent situation and smoke filled the air. Once the opposition is either you die or I die, fools will worry about the life or death of the enemy.
Tang Fang, Byron, Aros and Hausen were arranged in a room less than 20 square meters. Two beds with upper and lower bunk beds, a multi-function terminal workbench and a swivel chair are all the furnishings of the room.
Hausen pulled off the blood-stained combat uniform, threw it in the corner, turned over and rushed to the upper bunk and fell asleep. Aros stuffed the only cigar under the pillow, turned around and walked out of the room to pee in the bathroom. Byron sat on the bed on the lower bunk, not knowing what he was thinking.
As for Tang Fang, he sat on the swivel chair and called out the personal communication terminal of the workbench.
There was an email from Rector. The sender was sent a day ago. Tang Lin, the sender, clicked it and it was a video material.
Tang Lin appeared on the display screen with a look of joy: "Brother, let me tell you a good news. I passed the entrance examination of Lanna Military Academy."
"Hehe, after graduation in the future, maybe I will become your superior, hahahaha."
...
"Also, Xiaoyun and I are all fine, don't worry."
After watching this video that only lasted for one and a half minutes, Tang Fang smiled knowingly. He felt relieved when he knew that the two of them were safe and sound.
The Duke of Yadan of Rectorstar has never dealt with the Wei family very much, which is well known to the people of the Empire. Tang Lin was admitted to the Lanna Military Academy, and Tang Yun was studying in a boarding system. I think there was no danger.
"Is he your brother?" Byron's voice came from behind.
Tang Fang looked back at him: "Not bad."
Byron was silent for a moment and said, "I want to ask you for help."
"help?"
"Yes, help!"
...
After a while, after listening to his narrative, Tang Fang nodded unconsciously.
It turned out that Byron wanted to escape from the ship. Although Clapin was grateful to Tang Fang for saving his life and swears to ensure that he would do his best to save the lives of Byron, Aros and others, according to the current situation, he lost the base and was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he ensure their safety?
What's more, Byron is a famous pirate leader. Unlike Aros and Hausen, whether his life can be left behind is something that a mere major can decide.
"Okay." Tang Fang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
A smile appeared on Byron's face and thanked him very sincerely.
"I'll go and ask Zhou Ai and Eva, see if they want to leave with you. Aros will come back later, and you will ask him what he means." After that, Tang Fang pushed the door and walked out of the room.
Zhou Ai and Eva's room was on the other side of the research ship. After some inquiries, they found the two of them and explained their intentions. Eva couldn't wait to express her desire to leave with Byron. Zhou Ai nodded and agreed for some reason.
Tang Fang and the two girls set the time and place for the joint, and said goodbye and left.
When he walked into the room, Aros had already returned from the toilet. The last cigar was placed on his lips and was licking it in one bite, his movements were gentle and his expression was ecstatic.
Tang Fang suddenly wanted to laugh. He thought of a hypothesis very evilly. If Aros was not a man, but a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, what a loving scene would it be!
"It is easy to steal the universe shuttle, but how do you break through the border guard of the Empire?" Aros didn't notice the strange smile on the boy opposite and asked with a frown.
"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Byron replied with a smile.
Aros nodded: "Okay...I choose to stay!"
Tang Fang and Byron were stunned, and Hausen on the upper bunk sat up, touching the big bald head as if it was vibrator, "I'll stay, too."
"Why?" Tang Fang looked at Aros, then at Hausen, and asked in a deep voice.
"No reason, I don't want to." Aros said lightly, but he couldn't help but ignite the last cigar.
As for Hausen, his brows were as if he was pulling his pants, but after a long time, he answered a very unresponsive answer: "I owe you a life."
"Is there any conflict between you who owe me a life and you?" Tang Fang was a little amused. Why did Hausen look like a big girl in a romantic drama, with a tone of "If you look at my body, you must be responsible for me."
"I don't care about this unless you follow him too." After saying that, this guy also learned from Aros and stopped talking.
Tang Fang looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly. These two followers!
"Yes, why don't you go together."
Tang Fang shook his head and said nothing. Byron and the others were alone, and they could leave as soon as they were said, without any burden, but he was different. He also had his younger brother and sister. If he really wanted to leave, who would take care of them? Not to mention the Empire's punishment system that seemed to be in a row.
Seeing this, Byron sighed, became silent, and the whole room returned to peace.
...
In a blink of an eye, the four of them walked out of the room and came to the agreed location to meet Zhou Ai and Eva, and then rushed to the hangar of the scientific research ship separately.
After experiencing the thrilling scene before, most of the people who escaped from Planet No. 5 have fallen asleep. After completing the shelter, the staff of the research ship also returned to their rooms to rest. Except for a few mechanics who worked routinely in maintenance, no one else was seen in the entire No. 2 hangar.
The mechanics were knocked out very easily, Byron, Zhou Ai and Eva, and entered a "horizon"-level universe shuttle.
Hausen and Aros started the launch procedure, the hatch opened slowly, the landing gear rose vertically, and the shuttle was sent to the ejection track.
After the countdown was over, the instant burst of magnetic energy pushed the shuttle machine away, and the dark blue tail flames ejected by the thruster lit up most of the apron. Through the lookout window of the control room, Tang Fang saw Zhou Ai in the shuttle cabin turn around, waved at him, and said, "From the lip shape, it should be a "Thank you".
The shuttle is like a thunder and lightning, rushing into the deep and vast universe, gradually moving away and distant.
Seeing the little red dot on the lidar suddenly disappear without a trace, Tang Fang knew that Byron had activated the warp engine and entered the virtual space-time. At the same time, a team of guards also welcomed outside the control room.
Fifteen minutes later, Tang Fang, Aros and Hausen were taken to the bridge.
The entire bridge is brightly lit, and the operators of each system are orderly handling the work at hand. In front of the central console, Joanna, dressed in a captain, is inspecting the video data sent back by the drone.
Clapenhan walked to Tang's side with a face and said angrily: "What's going on with that shuttle?"
Tang Fang had already prepared a speech and replied slowly: "Company Commander, let them be free after the resource survey mission is over. This is what was agreed at the beginning. As a free man, Byron and the other three left on a shuttle. Is there anything wrong with it?"
After saying this, he leaned forward again, lowered his voice and said, "Company Commander, you have said before that you will do your best to save their lives, but to be honest, as Byron..."
He did not continue to say it, but Clapen knew the following content. To be honest, as he was, he might be able to barely protect Aros, Hausen and others, and Byron, he really doesn't have that ability.
"We have no choice but to do this." Tang Fang sighed: "In fact, most of the people who know Byron's identity have died. As long as you don't talk about this, once the above asks, he will say that he has been crushed to pieces under the siege of the alien. He should be able to easily conceal it."
Clapeng was stunned for a moment, looking at him up and down several times, and snorted coldly: "Okay, Tang Yan, everyone said you are honest and dull. When I saw it today, I had a lot of thoughts."
Tang Fang smiled dryly and said, "There is no way, this is all forcing me."
"No matter what, it is impossible to argue that you steal the 'horizon'-level cosmic shuttle." Clapen said with a sinister face: "I will deal with you when I finish my current affairs."
Tang Fang shrugged without comment. This is not a serious crime, let alone what will happen in the future. Who would have thought of the direction that will develop?
"Captain, space shock was detected." The staff responsible for monitoring the universe environment around the scientific research ship exclaimed.
Meanwhile, an orange-yellow round flash lit up on the holographic stereo projection of the center console.
Joanna showed a look of surprise on her moist face: "It's a sub-space oscillation."
"Contact Officer, have there any contact requests from the military headquarters?"
The liaison officer on the left turned around and said, "Report to the captain, the signal for help has been sent for half an hour. No matter how fast the military responds, it is impossible to respond in such a short time."
"Since there is no response from the military headquarters, it means that the uninvited guest who immediately left the virtual time and space is not the Imperial fleet that came to support. Who would it be?" Joanna frowned.
Just as she was hesitating whether to activate the defensive posture of the scientific research ship, a light flashed about one hundred kilometers away from the scientific research ship. A military ship about 200 meters long and resembles a shark-like appearance appeared in the cold and dark endless void.
