Shang finally came up with a plan to modify and repair the warship.
However, when Ye Chong saw the huge design, he could not help but groan despite his strong mental fortitude. This was no modification and repair, it was more like building a new warship. Last time, Ye Chong was already exhausted from the installation of the electromagnetic cannons and laser launchers. This was a huge project, and Ye Chong was sure that if he were to do it alone, it would take years.
Shang seemed to read Ye Chong's mind, and explained with a grin, "Ye, you don't have to do it this time. Hehe, we have a lot of labor."
Starships were a necessary means of transportation for pirates. Therefore, almost every pirate base would have one or more starship repair rooms, and there were many skilled workers in this field. Besides, Lian Yue had been here for a long time, and naturally knew which repair rooms, and which people could be exploited.
The facilities of Hyde's base were quite complete. Since they were only a small group of pirates, they did not have enough funds to buy advanced mechs from the smugglers. Besides, the loot was different every time. Most of the time, there would be ores and the like. These things were not worth much to sell, but it was a waste to throw them away. Therefore, he spent some money to buy some metal smelting equipment, and produced and sold them himself. However, due to the lack of professionals, they rarely used these equipment. Most of the ores were stored in the warehouse, and were accumulating more and more. Fortunately, the base did not lack space, so Hai De did not have to worry about it.
However, all the equipment was now used by Shang, and even the ores were gone. Hai De was very respectful of the one-armed mech. Besides, to him, the ores were worthless, and they had been lying around for a long time. They would only take up space anyway, so he agreed without hesitation.
Shang had a list given to him by Lian Yue. They were all pirates who could be used as labor. Hai De could not help but feel a headache when he saw the list. Most of the people on it were hot-tempered, and he was afraid that one of them would start a fight, and that would be the end of him.
Just then, two mechs flew down from the broken warship.
Hai De glanced at them from the corner of his eye. This was the first time he saw other mechs on the starship besides the one-armed mech. As soon as he did, Hyde's pupils suddenly widened in horror. His face turned deathly pale and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
When the one-armed mech finished speaking, he was holding something in his hand. Hyde did not hear what the one-armed mech said at all, and was already running away like a wisp of smoke.
Seeing Hyde, who seemed to be frightened, Shang touched the place where his broken arm was. After a long while, he said with some difficulty and shyness, "Although my arm is broken, it's not really broken!" In the past, there was a movie called "Brokeback Mountain" that made people intoxicated and could be called a classic. From then on, love between two men shone brilliantly and became an everlasting and beautiful topic. Shang, who was well-versed in this Dao, had done extensive research on it.
Hyde's mind was occupied by a mech. Clown mech! It was the clown mech! The comical painted clown-like mech represented death and darkness. Known as the "Dark Clown" by the pirates, it was the king who walked in the dark. It was a super assassin who could easily assassinate the pirate leader under heavy protection and retreat.
The clown mech was the hottest topic in the pirate world.
Heavens, how could he be so unlucky to meet such a legendary and dangerous person? Hyde was already wailing in his mind.
He finally knew what the warship was called, the Coxcomb. He did not expect the Coxcomb to be a warship. Hyde suddenly remembered that if the Dark Clown and the Coxcomb were both here, then the super sniper mech known as the "Blue Line of Death" must be here too. I don't think I saw it. The weird winged mech with the clown mech doesn't seem to match the legend. Isn't there a huge sniper energy rifle in the Blue Line of Death?
Wait, energy gun? Hyde suddenly remembered the huge energy gun on the one-armed mech's back. His heart skipped a beat, and he almost fell.
Blue Line of Death … That guy had the Blue Line of Death? Hyde could not help but feel like he was in a dream. However, it was not a sweet dream, but a nightmare of nightmares. Hyde swallowed his saliva with difficulty. These two guys would not be soft-hearted people. He had to be careful when dealing with them. Otherwise, the head on his neck … He felt a chill on his neck. He subconsciously touched his neck with his hand.
The reason why Ye Chong and Zhu Ling walked out of the Coxcomb was because the modification work this time was too huge. The interior was already bustling with activity. Hence, Ye Chong and Zhu Ling came out. Lian Yue was still in the metallurgy lab, enduring the loud noises and working hard every day. Ye Chong had no idea what he was doing. Ye Chong could not help but admire him for his determination, but Ye Chong was not interested to see what he was doing.
For safety reasons, Ye Chong and Zhu Ling came out in a mech. Han Jia was more sensitive, so Ye Chong thought about it and decided to come out with Puppet. However, he did not expect that the incident with the clown mech and the Blue Line of Death had already spread like wildfire in the pirate world not long after it happened. Almost everyone knew about it.
When Puppet appeared, Ye Chong found it strange that the busy people around him suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at him in fear. Thump, thump, thump. There were sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Then, these people picked up the fallen objects at an even faster speed and disappeared from his sight as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Ye Chong looked at the strange behavior of the people, confused.
On this day, the clown mech and the Blue Line of Death became the most talked about topic in this not-so-big pirate base. No one dared to come within a 100-meter radius of Ye Chong. As for Shang, his constant walking was a burden on the pirates. Their nerves tensed up with Shang's swaying steps, and the days were almost breaking down. Shang soon discovered this. He, who had always been a bad person, obviously thought that this was a new kind of pleasure. For a considerable period of time, these pirates lived in fear all day long.
However, this also increased the speed of the project. Ye Chong could not believe how hard the pirates worked. There were a few times when he thought that the pirates were building their own warship.
Shang divided the ship's modification work into smaller parts. Each pirate only needed to complete their own tasks, and did not know anything else.
Ye Chong and Zhu Ling had already explored the entire pirate base. The base was well hidden. The exit was hidden in a huge canyon. If the pirates did not lead the way, Ye Chong doubted that he would be able to find it.
"This is a good base," Ye Chong thought. If he could set up some cannons here, the base would be able to protect itself. A well-hidden base with the ability to protect itself was rather difficult to find. Besides, while the pirates were not strong, they had a long history. This was evident from the way they developed their base. They had basically hollowed out the entire underground. While it was not as grand as Nine Gates of Nightless City, it was still a lot of work. Ye Chong estimated that it took at least a few generations of pirates.
Ye Chong was constantly drifting, from one galaxy to another, from one planet to another. In a way, Ye Chong, Mu and Shang were doing things no different from pirates.
"If only I had a base of my own," Ye Chong thought to himself.
Ye Chong did not realize that this unintentional thought was a kind of improvement for him. He had begun to face this chaotic era with a conscious mind.
Unfortunately, Ye Chong did not dwell on it. The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and he quickly dismissed it. It was better to leave this troublesome matter to Shang. Ye Chong scouted the entire area, and made sure that there were no dangerous spots nearby.
Zhu Ling followed behind the clown mech in her Overwing. Its light green wings made it look like a green bird. The nimble maneuvers did not seem forced at all, and she advanced and retreated with the ease of an expert. She followed behind the clown mech with an indescribable elegance.
Ye Chong could only be envious. The clown mech and Overwing were worlds apart, and Zhu Ling's Overwing was already so impressive. Ye Chong dared not imagine what Mu Fei's Overwing would be like. He was glad that Mu Fei had not piloted Overwing when he killed him.
It was clear that no matter how strong a mech pilot was, he would still be vulnerable before he entered his mech. To kill a mech pilot, it was best to strike before the mech pilot entered the mech, and that was the easiest way to do it.
Just as Ye Chong and Zhu Ling were about to return, Ye Chong suddenly heard Shang's voice. "Ye, come back, hehe …" Shang's voice was filled with joy.
Ye Chong did not hesitate. The clown mech made a beautiful turn and headed straight for the pirate base, with Overwing following closely behind.
