Invasion

Faced with the other party's question, Old Lady Jia hesitated and said, "There are Energy Block, but not many."

In fact, her answer was a bit redundant.

The next moment, a female voice exclaimed from the opposite side, "There... is actually a factory here!"

There is no need to observe carefully. Once several factories are started, let alone energy fluctuations, the thermal energy effect cannot be blocked.

Only one Night Vision Goggles is needed to detect abnormalities on the stars.

"We are a business group affiliated with Empire Expansion Fund," the other party said in a deep voice, "I hope you can cooperate with the rescue!"

Old Lady Jia coughed slightly and replied in a somewhat old voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely cooperate."

The starship got closer and closer, stopped more than ten kilometers from the ground, and released a small Attack Ship.

The position where it hovers is just in front of No. 2 Settlement.

The reason is also very simple. Several Energy Extractors at work are really eye-catching.

But at the same time, Qu Jianlei and others also saw clearly that the opponent's starship... was really terrible.

This is a large Armed Merchant Ship. Among Asteroid Belt, it is definitely considered a big ship. It is obviously used to transport bulk cargo.

At least seven or eight places on the starship were damaged, and even the airtight compartments were punctured, with obvious signs of temporary repairs.

Even the small Attack Ship had signs of being attacked, but it didn't seem to be seriously damaged.

Small Ship landed on the ground, and another voice came from the channel, "Okay, come out."

No. 2 Settlement opened, and two people wearing Spacesuit came out, and one was wearing only a helmet.

The three people are Jia Shuiqing, Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi.

Then two more simple fortresses opened, and two Spacesuit came out, namely Paranoid and Mu Yu.

Qinghu is hiding, while Xiao Moshan is practicing in the main settlement.

In fact, when the opponent's merchant ship landed at this height, Qu Jianlei could already take advantage.

But everyone agreed that it was not necessary, and no matter what the other party's true purpose was, no malicious intent had been shown so far.

Since it is possible to save people with good intentions, naturally we cannot let those with good intentions feel cold.

"Okay, stop!" Small Ship issued the command again, and then asked, "Who was talking to us just now?"

Old Lady Jia raised a hand, "It's me!"

"You come on the ship alone!" The people on Small Ship expressed their opinions, "And the shorter one... come up too!"

The height difference between Hua Xiezhi and Mu Yu is Buduo. They are both taller among women, but not as tall as men. The two looked at each other after hearing this.

"Not the one wearing the helmet!" Small Ship said again, "Come up wearing Spacesuit's one!"

Anyone with some knowledge of interstellar navigation knows that the number of people who only wear helmets in space is at least Rank A.

So Mu Yu also walked over and got on the small Attack Ship.

There are three crew members in Small Ship, all holding knives and guns in their hands, looking at them with eager eyes, but the guns are not pointed at anyone.

After seeing them come in, the tallest person said, "Take off your helmet!"

After they took off their helmets, the other person was obviously surprised, "Why are they both women?"

The two Supreme Beings were not angry either. They both entered the starship and had plenty of opportunities to have a fit.

The tall man was Wood Attribute Rank A. He asked aloud, "What trouble did your starship encounter?"

Old Lady Jia replied in a deep voice, "Non-specific space turbulence and time deviation."

"I don't understand." The tall man shook his head and pointed not far away, "What is that device?"

"Energy Block extractor," Old Lady replied calmly, there was nothing that couldn't be said.

"Energy Block extractor?" The tall man's eyes lit up, "Did you carry it with you?"

It is very common for starships with a scientific research nature to have Item-Storing Talisman. Anyway, the opponent has at least one Rank A, which can be considered as a protective capability.

"If we want to bring one, we will bring a small one." Old Lady Jia felt that the other party was a little confused, "We made this ourselves."

When the tall man heard this, his eyes widened, "Can... you do this yourself?"

"Is it normal?" Old Lady Jia looked at him innocently, "Of course we must bring relevant professionals with us for the scientific examination."

"How is this normal?" The man shook his head disapprovingly, making equipment with his bare hands. Do you call this normal?

But before he could continue speaking, another voice sounded from Small Ship, "Old Seven, are you done? Business is more important!"

The man named Old Seven heard this and shook his head again, "How many Energy Block do you have now?"

"Self-made... it costs over ten million yuan," Old Lady Jia replied thoughtfully, "Thanks to being self-made, otherwise..."

She behaves like an ordinary aunt next door, and she seems to be a bit talkative.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything," Old Seven waved his hand, "We want to take away all Energy Block. This is the reward you promised."

"Okay," Old Lady nodded without hesitation. Since he made a promise, of course he must fulfill it.

She agreed readily, and the other party's conditions were also neat, "Also, we will also bring the starship with the Energy Stone you mined."

Old Lady Jia continued to nod, "Yes, but... does your starship have a Energy Block extractor?"

The Energy Block extractor is really not difficult to make. If it is a little more sophisticated, it can definitely be placed in a corner of the starship.

However, most starships do not have this equipment, because... it is useless.

Energy Stone is strictly controlled by the empire and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

Moving unused equipment into the starship is... thinking that the starship has too much space?

Old Seven shook his head and spoke seriously, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

After a pause, he added, "It's easy to let you get on the ship, but you can't think that it's over after you pay the money."

"Especially you can't do nothing, you must do what you can."

This is actually what he came for. Ten million... is really a small thing.

The main reason is that the merchant ship above us is seriously short of manpower. Currently, there are no more than twenty healthy crew members.

This is not because we are reluctant to hire people. In fact, starships are now highly automated, and one person can drive a starship.

But when something happens, such a large starship cannot have too few people if it wants to exert its full combat power.

In previous years, four or five crew members would have been enough for such a large starship. Who would attack such a behemoth? But now the situation is critical and twenty people are not enough. Enough people must be found.

I can't see that the Small Ship he is driving has only three crew members in total? In the final analysis, there is a lack of people.

"Okay," Old Lady Jia continued to nod, "We will not be idle, but we will not join the war either."

As a rescued person, you can't act like a boss, but help as much as you can. This is the most normal understanding.

But I'm sorry if we let everyone go to war - we paid for it, so we can help, but there is no need to talk about working hard!

Old Seven frowned upon hearing this, and with a Rank A aura, he spoke calmly and powerfully, "What do you mean by this?"

"I have made it very clear," Old Lady said calmly, "We will not sacrifice our lives for anyone."

Then she raised her finger and pointed upward, "Such a tragic image... are you running for your lives?"

Old Seven was a little tempted to have an attack, but seeing the other party's fearless look, he really didn't have the guts.

Honestly speaking, there are only five people, but they can build a factory in space - to extract Energy Block. If there is nothing strange about this, who would believe it? "Okay," another voice came from the channel, "Then we can leave now, right?"

"Of course," Old Lady Jia replied without hesitation.

It seems that there are really pursuers behind the opponent, so even if they let go of this wave, new faces will appear soon.

But if the other party wants to leave, he must be able to do so. "If you don't help, there will be no reward."

The person across the channel snorted coldly, "In other words, Energy Block won't be given to us?"

"This is a bit strange," Old Lady Jia said expressionlessly, "What we plan to pay is the reward for the rescue."

"Since you are not going to save us, why should we give it away for nothing?"

But the other party snorted again, "I originally wanted to have a nice talk... It doesn't matter if you don't give it to us, we can get it ourselves."

"I like this," suddenly, another male voice came from the conversation, "If you don't give it to us, then we will take it ourselves!"

"What... what's going on?" The voice on the other side became frightened, "Why did the control suddenly fail?"

"This is a data intrusion. How dare you do this?"

"We also want to have a good talk," Qu Jianlei replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "But the opportunity was given to you, and you don't know how to cherish it!"

The other party immediately said, "Okay, we were offended, and we are willing to make amends."

"Then leave one Small Ship," Qu Jianlei said casually, and then the hatch of Armed Merchant Ship slowly opened.

A small Attack Ship floated out slowly, looking in better condition than the previous one.

Old Seven's face darkened when he saw this, and he stared at Mu Yu fiercely, "Is this too much?"

Mu Yu was a little confused when she heard this. She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, "Are you... talking to me?"

She felt that she had been completely wronged. She was the one who was designated to board this starship. After boarding, she didn't say a word.

But even so, the other party still stared at me viciously?

"Of course it's you!" Old Seven said with a dark face, "Do you dare to say it wasn't you?"

In fact, his series of operations are all supported by logic.

He might not be able to offend the person wearing the helmet. Even if he was half-hearted, putting people in the cabin would still cause hidden dangers.

So at the beginning, he chose the person to talk to.

Usually the person in charge of the dialogue will not be a top combatant, but he will have the right to speak.

Later he chose Mu Yu, which was just a passing thought.

Now that we have to find someone to take the blame, the man who chooses to talk to us will probably cause trouble, so it would be better to choose someone weaker.

But in fact, he did have some doubts. It must be the technical personnel who could affect the operation of his own starship.

And this woman seems to have no strength, and she is most likely a technician.

So this is really not an injustice.
