Chapter 31 The Imighty Pirates
"Xiao Zhao, go and have a rest." Hilton's voice echoed in the mecha control room: "It's very late. I can just stay here alone."
Yunyi wanted to refuse, but he could hear that Hilton's voice was full of despair. Perhaps the invisible pressure that permeated the whole warship had made it difficult for the old mercenary to sleep.
"Okay, I'll go back. If there is anything, please let me know immediately and I will come to replace you early tomorrow morning. After saying that, there was no response from the channel for half a day. Yunyi sighed, closed the mecha and left the mecha battle room.
Back to the room, Yunyi was not sleepy at all. After thinking about it, he pushed the door out and came to the command module of the spacecraft.
In the command module, Brown is still sitting in the driver's seat attentively. Now the starry sky outside is calm, and the spacecraft is in automatic navigation and does not need to drive, but in order to deal with emergencies, Brown did not rest and has been waiting in the command room.
In addition to Brown, there are dozens of crew members in the command room. These crew members are not mercenaries, because their system cannot cultivate profound martial arts, and the highest one does not exceed three levels. They are all employees of the mercenary regiment. They are employed together with the warships, and the expenses are included in the rent of the spacecraft. Of course, if the battle leads to the death of the ship's personnel, the pension must be paid.
Although Hank and others did not tell them what had happened, Yunyi could easily see from their expression that they must know something, and everyone's face was a little panicked.
Hearing the footsteps, Brown turned around and smiled warmly, "If you don't go to rest so late, why do you have time to come to me?"
"I can't sleep. Come and have a look." As Yunyi answered, he came to the console of the spacecraft and looked curiously at the buttons on it. Although he has commanded the spacecraft before, to be honest, he has never been exposed to the driving of the spacecraft.
"Compared with you, guess what will happen next. Alas, I didn't expect this to happen when I came out this trip... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Why, are you interested in flying a spaceship?
Yunyi nodded and said, "I always feel that it must be difficult to start this huge thing and let him do all kinds of actions under your orders."
"In fact, it's not difficult. If you are interested, I can also teach you. Anyway, there is nothing to do now. Come on." Seeing that Brown also seemed to be interested in teaching him, Yunyi suddenly became excited and followed Brown to know the buttons one by one, and heard the orders that told what to be issued under what circumstances.
It is undeniable that Brown has been the pilot of the warship since he joined the mercenary. The experience accumulated over the past decades is so rich that Yunyi listened to it and put everything Brown told into his head. Two people, one taught seriously and the other was happy to learn. Unconsciously, time passed minute by minute...
At three o'clock in the morning, although there is no sunrise and sunset in space, people are still willing to get up and sleep according to the usual schedule. This is the most sleepy time for everyone. On the spacecraft, almost all of them have entered their dreams except for a small number of on-duty personnel.
"Captain! There is a situation!"
A crew member shouted, and the sound resounded throughout the command module. Some sleepy crew members were immediately awakened with a panicked look on their faces.
"What happened?" Compared with the crew, Brown calmed down a lot, and his voice was firm and calm, which immediately calmed down the people who heard his voice.
"At two o'clock, 25 degrees down, three unidentified ships were found about 500 kilometers away from us." The speaker is the crew responsible for the reconnaissance and detection system. Since the discovery of the pirate spacecraft a few days ago, the warship's detection system has been running at full power.
"Analyze the other party's identity immediately." Brown ordered calmly. Immediately, a person in charge obtained the marks on the ship from the long-distance images and analyzed the nervous comparison on the light brain.
But only more than ten seconds later, before their analysis was completed, the crew member in charge of the detection shouted again, "My God, captain, five more spacecraft appeared in that direction and are approaching our ship."
"Start the alarm immediately, and the whole ship will enter the first-level combat mode." Brown issued this order without any hesitation. Then, the rapid and harsh siren sounded throughout the ship, waking up the sleeping crew.
When Yunyi saw the speeding spacecraft on the screen, he immediately realized that the target of these spacecraft was definitely the spacecraft belonging to the client behind them. Now, he immediately said to Brown, "Uncle Brown, I'll go to the mecha battle room first and thank you for your teaching later."
Brown nodded and said, "The mecha battle is very dangerous. You have to be more careful!"
After climbing up the mecha and quickly starting the cloud wing, he said hello to Hilton first.
"The enemy's speed is very fast, but most of the warships that appear now are small and medium-sized merchant ships*, and there should be no mecha. The captain may ask us to go to the warship to shoot the enemy. You have to be prepared.
Yunyi agreed to Hilton, but strangely found that there was a slight tremor in Hilton's voice. Normally, old mercenaries like Hilton who have been working for decades should not be afraid. Is the enemy encountered this time really horrible?
In return, Yunyi still quickly checked the overall situation of the mecha and quietly waited for the order after confirming that there was no problem.
As Hilton expected, Ten minutes later, Hank issued an order to ask the two to drive the mecha outside to sniper the approaching enemy.
Because there is no need to leave the warship too far away, there is no need to use an ejection device for the launch of the mecha. Cloud Wing controlled the mecha closely following Hilton and came to the starry sky outside through the special passage of the mecha.
"Damn, why are there so many!"
As soon as he came out, Yunyi heard Hilton's curse. He turned on the detection system and was immediately shocked by the dense red dots on the screen. After a rough count, Yunyi judged the number of enemies and would never be less than 300. Fortunately, these spacecraft are small and medium-sized, and there are no enemy ships that are as large as the warships they use. And these spacecraft are all made of transport ships. It seems that the pirates in the south are not living well.
"Xiao Zhao, come up quickly. The enemy is about to enter the range of the main gun. We must fix ourselves before the main gun is fired."
Hearing Hilton's reminder, Yunyi hurriedly adjusted the jet direction of the engine and flew to the position of the bow. Soon, they found their own shooting position, docked with the warship, and fixed the body of the mecha firmly on the surface of the spacecraft.
"Come on, you son of a bitch!"
In the special channel of the mercenary team, there was a rough roar from Tian Ning. Then, Yunyi only felt a shock and hurriedly fixed his body. Through the screen inside the mecha, he clearly saw that a thick beam of light flashed dazzling light and shot straight out from the direction of the bow, accurately passing through the dense cluster of spacecraft.
After the bombardment of the main gun, a narrow hole was created in the enemy fleet. The enemy spacecraft, which was originally empty, was vaporized by the bombardment of this main gun and dissipated in the starry sky.
"Good!" Hilton shouted, and there seemed to be no previous tension in his voice. He suddenly laughed and shouted, "Brothers, work! Xiao Zhao, let's send these bastards back to our hometown!"
Listening to Hilton's heroic roar, Yunyi only felt that his blood was boiling all over. Without saying a word, he set up the pulse* and aimed at a spacecraft closest to the warship. He was about to pull the trigger, but the spacecraft suddenly rose a dazzling mass of light and burst into pieces.
"Hey, Xiao Zhao, look, 30,000 yuan has been credited, hahahaha..."
Yunyi was unwilling to show weakness and immediately aimed at another spacecraft and pulled the trigger fiercely. Vigorous pulses drive the ionic antimatter* nucleus, which is fired at the hull of the enemy ship at a super-high speed second only to the speed of light after accelerating by the barrel.
In the face of this extremely penetrating bullet, how can a warship that is only a little stronger than a transport ship resist it? The bullet broke through the outer defense layer of the warship and accurately hit the energy core of the spacecraft near the tail end.
A firelight was sprayed from the ship hit by the cloud wings, and then a circle of visible energy fluctuations, pushing the surrounding spacecraft to bump in the care of energy*.
When Yunyi was looking at the explosion in the distance and waiting for * to complete the charging, Hank's voice was transmitted through the channel: "Good boy, well done! The only spaceship of the XBX pirate group was killed by you, with a reward of 57,000 yuan. When you go back, it will be transferred to your account. Remember to treat me, hahaha..."
