I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 359
"Actually, the star thieves in the Star Ring Starfield don't have a fixed area of ​​activity, because once there is a fixed area of ​​activity, wouldn't that just tell everyone—we are all here, don't come here? So they usually Stay close to some fixed commercial routes, and act according to the opportunity." Rhodes replied, holding his beard with his hand.

"That is to say, if we want to find star robbers, it is best to find a large air route to guard? Does Uncle Rhodes have any suggestions?"

"...well... let me think about it..." Rhode continued to touch his beard with his hands and frowned.

When he thought for a full 20 minutes and almost wiped out his beard, he said: "There is a route, which is a private commercial route between the two major forces of the Star Ring Alliance and the Science Council."

"Most of this route is passed by commercial cargo ships, and occasionally there will be some passenger ships. However, due to the easing of relations between the two sides in recent years, direct trade has begun. Therefore, the number of spaceships on this route has dropped significantly, but it is also because of its importance. The nature of the space has declined, and the military defenses of the two forces have also decreased, so in recent years, spaceships have often been robbed by star thieves there."

Rhodes said, calling up a small star map from a small device he carried with him.Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward, took Rhode's equipment and tried to connect it to a computer interface of the spacecraft, so that Allen could find a way to directly project the content inside to a larger holographic projection.

"This holographic projection is really convenient!" Rhodes couldn't help sighing.

……

The Field route used to be an important route connecting the two major forces of the Star Ring Alliance and the Science Council. In the past, when the two sides were hostile, this route carried the largest non-governmental economic exchanges between the two sides. This route was taken during the busiest time of the year It can be said that the spaceships are flying on this route one after another.

It was first found by Fielder, an adventurer from the Star Ring Alliance, and he was the first to pass safely. Later generations named this route after him in memory of him.

Today, the Field route has long lost the prosperity of the past, and only a small number of spaceships are still taking this route because of their own destinations.

A large cargo spaceship full of supplies is traveling alone on this route, and it is not traveling fast.This is because this is the middle section of the entire route. In the past two years, there have been five star robbery incidents. Although there is no danger to life as long as you cooperate obediently, this trip must be for nothing. Will be fired from the company for causing heavy losses.So it must carefully explore everything around the explorer, so that it can make preparations in advance.

It's a pity that good luck was not always with it. After passing a small asteroid, more than 20 spaceships of different sizes sailed out from behind the asteroid and surrounded it. It was a small star thief. gang.

This gang of star thieves has been hiding behind the asteroid and shut down all engines, so the cargo spacecraft did not find them in time.Now surrounded by them, if you want to speed up and escape, you will be attacked by weapons.

With no other choice, the captain of the cargo spaceship and the leader of the star robbers connected the communication device, and the two sides began to bargain.

Don't be surprised, it's just a bargain.Many people will find it strange, how can they still bargain with robbers?In fact, this is quite normal. Usually, star thieves will not attack the robbed spaceship unless they resist or escape.After all, although the nature of the star robbers belongs to the robbery, they are not a one-shot deal. Just imagine if the star robbers shot and killed all the targets without distinction every time. First, they will surely offend all forces, and second, no one will dare to After doing this kind of interstellar cargo business, although they robbed a lot at one time, they cut off their future income. In the end, although many merchant ships are merchant ships, they still have a certain amount of firepower. If they resist, they will definitely suffer casualties.

Therefore, under various circumstances, the star thief finally formed such a strange behavior, as long as he does not escape or resist, then he can negotiate the amount of the robbery this time.

After some intense bargaining, the two parties seemed to have finally reached an agreement on the amount, and then the cargo spaceship shut down, and a dozen Star Thief spaceships began to unload cargo from the cargo spaceship.

After a day and a night, the group of star thieves finished unloading the quantity they negotiated, and the cargo spacecraft restarted and slowly flew towards the distance.

The Star Thieves stayed where they were and watched the cargo spaceship go away. This time the operation went very smoothly, and it was another bumper harvest. The Star Thieves were very happy.

"Boss! That cargo spaceship suddenly sped up and fled!" A minion in the Star Thief spaceship said to his boss.

A star thief known as the boss looked at the merchant ship that suddenly lit up with a huge light cluster at the tail outside the porthole, and said disdainfully: "I guess I was scared out of courage? I don't know if you peed your pants?"

All the star thieves burst out laughing, this time the generous harvest will allow everyone to share a lot of money, thinking about it, they can be unrestrained and unrestrained again recently, everyone feels very happy when they think of this .

"Hey, can you hear me?" A man's voice suddenly appeared on the public channel.

While all the star thieves looked at each other, they could only hear that this person seemed to be far away from the communication device, but he forgot to turn off the communication switch, and some vague voices came faintly from the public channel.

"...how do you say it?"

"You idiot, didn't I tell you to speak according to that piece of paper?"

"I don't know where I lost that paper..."

"... Then you can say whatever you want..."

"okay."

Then the sound in the public channel returned to normal.

"Ahem, listen up, Star Bandits in front! Stop the ship immediately! We are robbers!"

"The one who robbed? Robbed us? Robbed star robbers?"

Hearing this sentence, the star thieves hurriedly looked towards the detectors on their spaceships, only to see an unfamiliar spaceship logo flying towards their own area quickly.

"Only one?" The leader of the group of star thieves asked with a frown.

He thought for a while and asked the person in charge of the detector: "Is it someone you know? What is the model of the other party's spaceship?"

"There is only one spaceship, which is an unmarked spaceship. Their spaceship response system is in a silent state, and the model cannot be identified at present. But they are very fast, and we should be able to see it soon." Sitting on the detector screen The previous person replied.

It only took about ten minutes for the group of star thieves to see the spaceship that dared to claim to be robbed.

It was a silver-white three-level unit frigate. Unlike the frigates of the same type owned by all the star thieves they knew, this spaceship seemed to be very well maintained, and there were no traces of battle. Like a new spaceship.
