Qu Jianlei knew You You's plan, and with a thought, he took out twenty Nutrient Solution.

Then there was the water bag, and then he took out four Rank A Crystal, two for each person.

You You didn't care, he took five bottles of Nutrient Solution first. Rank B Warrior's energy tolerance is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Then she drank Buduo three hundred milliliters of water, and then looked at Qu Jianlei with her eyes: Don't you want to eat some? Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, feeling a rare space jump. He wanted to do some experiments in the process.

What he was paying attention to at the moment was the unknown guy, wanting to see when he would take Nutrient Solution.

Although his cultivation level is already higher than that of the other party, he still observes very carefully.

Never underestimate others at any time, otherwise you may regret it - Liaison Office almost made a mistake, and the lesson is enough to serve as a warning.

And this person who dared to stow away openly was obviously not a fuel-efficient person.

However, he paid attention to Buduo for an hour, and the other party still hadn't swallowed Nutrient Solution.

He was a little impatient in waiting and asked You You in a low voice - Didn't it mean that Rank B had to take Nutrient Solution to replenish his physical strength before the jump?

You You heard that the person who had not taken Nutrient Solution was a little puzzled, "It's impossible for him to... not understand this, right?"

Anyone who has ever flown on a spaceship or experienced a transition cannot fail to know this common sense!

Otherwise, this person is a native of the base, but there are really too few such people! However, even if you are a native who never leaves your home base, you can't grow up without mastering relevant knowledge at all, right?

You You was kind-hearted and suggested in a low voice, "How about... let's remind him?"

In comparison, when Xiao Moshan met You You, his first reaction was to kill someone.

Qu Jianlei shook his head. He had no intention of reminding the other party, "If you are not fully prepared, he deserves to be unlucky!"

The final result of the other party is that he cannot survive and starve to death at most. He really has no intention of rescuing him, even if the other party may be a traitor to the base.

Before I knew it, another half hour had passed.

You You couldn't help but frown, "Is this... not planning to jump, so you chose Sublight Speed Flight?"

The jump uses more energy, but saves time, Sublight Speed Flight, and uses energy Buduo, but takes time! Qu Jianlei couldn't help but ask, "If I choose Sublight Speed Flight, how long will it take to arrive at Hope Three Star?"

"That depends on the speed," You You replied in a low voice, "The fastest is one month, the slowest is three months."

"The most economical sailing speed should be about two months, but I'm curious... why did you choose this sailing method?"

That guy should know something! Qu Jianlei finally understands why that guy doesn't eat Nutrient Solution. The co-author is clear about the navigation method.

But he really didn't bother to ask. When strangers met in this situation, it was better to keep their distance.

The key is that even if he asks clearly, can he still change the way he sails? They didn't react, and the one hid himself very securely, basically not doing anything.

Two days later, the man ate four tubes of Nutrient Solution, drank some water, and did not move at all. He was obviously saving calories.

Qu Jianlei was so bored that he even started meditating.

He has not finished reading some books, especially those from the Secret Pavilion, but this kind of place is not a place for immersive research.

On the fifth day, Qu Jianlei took two tubes of Nutrient Solution, took out one Rank A Crystal and was about to practice, when suddenly the alarm sounded loudly!

The target of the alarm should be all passengers, but Cargo Hold also has a loudspeaker - which is useful when transporting soldiers.

"Space Pirate!" You You's expression changed and he spoke in a low voice, "It's the alarm sound of encountering Space Pirate!"

Sure enough, a deep voice sounded, "Dear passengers, please pay attention. Dear passengers, please pay attention..."

"There are three unknown ships ahead, and there are also spaceships ambushing nearby. We may have encountered Space Pirate!"

Whatever the reaction was in the cabin, it was unlikely to reach Cargo Hold.

But Qu Jianlei has the ability to sense, and he released it directly. At this time, I believe no one will care about this fluctuation.

There was really a mess in the cabin. Some people expressed their intention to be tough, while others wanted to pay the fare.

Some people even complained that I had asked you to make the leap a long time ago, but you just didn't listen - am I the one who lacked the money?

Good thing now, I encountered Space Pirate, and all my insurance was in vain! The insurance company has regulations. If there is an accident during jump navigation, the compensation rate is very high and the upper limit is also high.

But when Sublight Speed Flight encountered Space Pirate, it was called force majeure!

Sublight Speed Flight does not have various hidden dangers during the transition, and the premium is low, but force majeure is not covered by the insurance.

In short, if you don't want to be cheap and choose a cheap sailing method, you will have to bear the corresponding risks.

Qu Jianlei listened for a while and asked You You curiously, "Doesn't this spaceship belong to the military?"

If the spacecraft belonged to the military, there would be no need to argue about whether to fight or pay tolls. What should be argued was how to fight.

The military paid tolls to Space Pirate... That's a big joke! However, this judgment is not necessarily accurate. Qu Jianlei is really not sure what the empire's military style is.

In Wasteland, he has seen too many weird things, probably due to differences in civilization, some things are really unbelievable.

If there is a serious deviation in conceptual understanding, it is not surprising that Moth Insectoid appears.

In fact, even on Blue Star, there have been examples of the military paying protection fees to bandits.

However, You You's answer was a bit unexpected, "It definitely does not belong to the military. The spaceships that go to the base rarely belong to the military."

Qu Jianlei was shocked when he heard this, "You wouldn't tell me that the base doesn't belong to the military, right?"

You You looked at him strangely, "Of course the base does not belong to the military. Who gave you this illusion that it belongs to the military?"

Qu Jianlei was completely speechless. He blinked several times before asking a question.

"Such a big base does not belong to the military... Didn't you say you are from Border Garrison?"

"I am indeed a soldier," You You replied without hesitation, "But I protect not only the military, but also civilian assets."

"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei heard news that shattered his outlook again, "The base is a private asset?"

A mere civil society group actually dared to conduct a large-scale human evolution experiment, which resulted in numerous casualties and appalling cruelty! "It's not a private asset either," You You wanted to explain in detail, but found that he really lacked words.

"Let's put it this way, the base does not own the planet, they just help the empire manage it... and earn reasonable profits."

Qu Jianlei's expression became increasingly weird, "But they filled Wasteland with killings. Who gave them the power?"

You You shook his head, "Wasteland's various measures are officially decided. Where does the base have such power?"

"They are only helping the official supervision. Wasteland So many people die every day. Which civil society organization can handle this?"

Qu Jianlei somewhat understands this model. It is actually an agent, or contractor.

There is still something I don't understand here, but there is no need to pursue the details for the time being.

What he cares about most is, "You are a soldier of Border Garrison. A civil organization... can they wrongly accuse you?"

You You's face suddenly darkened. Obviously, these words touched on her pain points.

"The base is built by a very powerful organization. The military is only responsible for guarding it and does not participate in specific affairs."

Qu Jianlei pinched his eyebrows, thought for a moment and asked, "Then I won't talk about you, how dare they still accuse Xiao Moshan unjustly?"

"Mo Huaitian..." You You It is difficult to answer this question.

In fact, her understanding of Mo Huaitian is no less than that of Qu Jianlei Duo Duo. Many things were only communicated a while ago.

After much deliberation, she could only tell what she knew, "The one that has full authority to handle base affairs is the largest security company in the empire."

Qu Jianlei finally understood, "So, this company is good at force?"

"That's right," You You Diandian nodded. She didn't want to say more about it, "By the way, which stock was the Space Pirate intercepted earlier?"

"Oh, Space Pirate," Qu Jianlei finally reacted.

I was only obsessed with the so-called truths, but I forgot about the biggest crisis now.

Feeling it, his expression was a bit weird, "Actually... you want to fight?"

In the words of You You, this is the spaceship of an ordinary freight company. The entire freight company may not be able to make up 5 Rank A.

Five Rank A can crush Central City, but Canyon is completely inadequate. Against the base... it is like a scumbag.

However, such a company actually dares to take on the task of interstellar transportation.

Therefore, although Wasteland is useless, it is not as useless as everyone thinks. Central City has three Rank A.

The Rank A of Canyon are double digits, and there are supreme beings, and the Rank A of the base are even more.

After all, it is the management of a planet, and there cannot be too few high-end combat capabilities.

But this transportation company mainly deals in human connections, so there is no need to pay too much attention to force value.

Of course, it won't work without any force value, so there are a few Rank A Warrior.

Qu Jianlei feels that there may be some problems with his own perception. How dare such a company dare to take action against Space Pirate?

But others didn't see it that way, and someone immediately said, "Just fight. If there is any cost, I Sha Family will pay half of it!"

Qu Jianlei really doesn't know how strong Sha Family is, but no matter what, Sai family is always stronger than Hong-character Settlement Area.

If someone is willing to cover up the war, it will be easier to handle.

The key is that there are still more than thirty people from the base in the spacecraft, mostly technicians, but there are also seven or eight Rotation Leave military soldiers.

There is one Rank A and two Rank B, and the others are all C-level.

In addition, this spacecraft is jointly protected by the base military and Hope Three Star officials.

Qu Jianlei Have a feeling of déjà vu. How come this transportation company looks a bit like the escort agency in Blue Star's history?

At this moment, Cargo Hold shook violently, and someone screamed, "The other party fired!"
