53. Things to offset the account

"Get ready! Set off in the afternoon! Take that ship, and the galaxy will be ours from now on! Think about it! A 40,000-meter-long pirate ship! Hahahahaha!!" Kuken continued, "Arrest all outsiders! After we occupy that giant spaceship, they will be our slaves! Fuck Muun! I'm not afraid!!"

A large number of heavily armed, ferocious-looking, dirty and tattered pirates rushed out from behind him. They even dragged and tied up all the outsiders, including Cun Te, and stuffed them into the narrow cargo hold like cans.

In the bar, the pirates swept all the bottles, cards and other things on the table to the ground, and then took out boxes of guns and ammunition from the weapons arsenal and put them on them.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely frenetic.

Taya was left singing alone there. She was extremely scared, but she didn't dare to stop at all.

Cun Te was stuffed in the innermost part of the cargo hold, but felt extremely calm. He broke free from the bonds very easily, and then quietly took the communicator in his hand.

With so many people here, noisy communication is impossible. So he started tapping the microphone rhythmically.

On the Tatooine ground, Mos Eisley, Truda spacecraft berths.

Yuri-Orlov and Vitaly-Orlov fled in panic and finally returned to their own spaceship. However, what they saw was an empty spaceship with no one in it.

"Where is the person? Where is Fucking Cun Te?" Yuri searched everywhere, even under the bed, but still couldn't find anyone, "Fuck! If he doesn't come back, those pursuers will find us sooner or later! We have to run away quickly!"

"The problem is that none of us know how to fly a spaceship, so how can we escape? It's impossible to leave Cun Te and the others behind, right?" Vitaly shook his head and said.

"Asshole! It's over, it's over... it's over, it's over..." Yuri sat down on the bed and grabbed his hair. Suddenly he thought of something and said to Vitaly, "Vitaly, go and see what that group of Bosa gave us as credit?"

"It's already now and you're still thinking about paying off your debt?"

"Nonsense! If even this thing is gone, what are we going through life and death for this time?"

"Okay, let me take a look... But my Galactic Standard is average. I'm not sure what it says is... T, O, R, P, E, T, O... P, O, R, T, O, N... What does this mean?" Vitaly carefully identified the letters on it.

"What? Proton Torpedo!" Yuri suddenly jumped up, hugged Vitaly's shoulders and laughed, "Fuck! Fuck!! Vitaly! We are developed! Hahahaha!"

"What? What did you say?" Vitaly was confused.

"Proton Torpedo! These are two Proton Torpedo! Hahahahaha!!" Yuri laughed crazily.

"How do you know this?"

"Nonsense! Of course I need to have a preliminary understanding of the weapons in this galaxy before I can sell my own things!" Yuri said excitedly, "Two Proton Torpedo! Worth at least 15,000 credits! Got it! It's really developed this time! I can sell these two things for 10,000 credits each! Do you understand? Vitaly! We made a fortune this time!"

"Wait a minute! No one can get this kind of heavy weapon unless you go to the army. I can also directly offer 30,000 credits for one! Hahaha..." Yuri was completely immersed in ecstasy.

"But now the question is how can we escape?" Vitaly was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the cabin.

"Send another communication to that damn Cun Te!! Huh... huh? When was the communication connected?" Yuri suddenly discovered that Cun Te's communication had been connected, but there was no holographic projection.

He walked over and pressed the call button and shouted loudly, "Cun Te You piece of shit that no one wants! I'm going to fucking hang up and you're still fooling around outside! Where the hell are you now?!"

In the Hammerhead-class cruiser cargo hold of 'Iron Tooth'-Kuken, Cun Te quickly covered the microphone to prevent Yuri's yelling and cursing from being heard. He looked around guiltily and found that many of the people caught around him were whispering, but no one noticed.

"Yuri, you damn fool! One day I should let you see what Bantha is, and then stuff you into its excretion hole!" Cun Te cursed to himself while continuing to tap rhythmically on the microphone.

"I want to..." Yuri was about to continue scolding, but when he heard the banging sound, he immediately became alert and realized that something was wrong.

"Vitaly, come here and listen to what the sound is?" Yuri called his brother over.

Vitaly listened for a while, shook his head and said, "How do I know what this is?"

"It's Morse code, and what's sent is not the arrangement of English letters, but the arrangement of Hanyu Pinyin." The T-850 of Guardian said suddenly.

"You know this stuff?"

"My database contains all known languages, and also stores the decoding table of Morse code. This is not a very clever password." T-850 said, "What is being sent now is, please tap the microphone five times after understanding the signal."

"Isn't he looking for death if he sent me a very clever password?" Yuri scolded.

"No! Maybe it's possible!" Vitaly suddenly thought about it, "There is no English at all in this galaxy, there is no Hanyu Pinyin, and there is no such thing as Morse code! So even if they crack Morse code, they don't know what we are talking about! No one can interpret the language of another galaxy out of thin air, right! And what he uses is not English but Pinyin! This is even better!"

Yuri also understood, "Yes! English is alphabetical text, which is more intuitive. But Chinese characters are symbolic text! Without a reference object, people in this galaxy will never be able to decipher it! Even if the communication is intercepted, there will be no problem."

"Do I need a reply?" T-850 asked.

"Reply!" Yuri said, "I don't understand Chinese and I don't understand Morse code, but Cun Te must have something to tell us."

Things seemed to have changed, and he finally calmed down a bit.

T-850 picked up a pen and paper, and tapped the communicator's microphone five times. Soon, there were more knocks from the other side, and T-850 quickly started writing on paper and pen, and read while writing, "I am trapped in Kuken's cruiser. Kuken will set off to attack the mothership in the afternoon."

"What? He was actually caught?! What should we do? Grow wings and fly up to save him?" Yuri screamed.

"Yuri, no matter what you are thinking now, we must hurry up! I see someone searching everywhere!" Vitaly said loudly with a telescope.
