Jing Mo took a sip of sweet grass juice, and asked Fid, "What do you think of these people?"
Fid was the leader of the mech squad that Jing Mo hired. He was tall, with an expressionless face that looked like a statue. His coarse short hair stood straight up like steel wires, and a two to three centimeters long scar hung diagonally over his eyebrow. However, it did not make him look hideous, but made him look even more handsome. Coupled with his burly build, he gave people a strong sense of security. Back in the Tian Luo galaxy, many young women were attracted to him.
However, this was not why Jing Mo valued him. Fid had amazing observation skills, and was a cautious person. He was also good at commanding, and was an upright person. Jing Mo trusted him very much. If not for Fid's reluctance, Jing Mo would have very much wanted him to work under him. This was a talent that could stand on his own! It was because of his cautiousness and good command that the journey was fraught with danger!
Fid's sitting posture was very much like a soldier's. His back was straight, and his eyes were focused. Once he was seated, he could not move for hours. Jing Mo was very impressed by this.
Fid pondered for a while, and answered clearly, "That young man should be the young master of some influential family. The three of them did not have any major flaws. Hmm, his bodyguard seemed to be quite strong, but I can't be sure. According to them, their starship was hit by a meteorite, which caused the damage to the hull. But I've checked the area where their starship was hit, and their hull was obviously thickened. If it was hit by a meteorite, I didn't find any stone fragments nearby. That's impossible! "
Jing Mo's eyelid twitched. "Could it be that they have a problem? Could it be a spy sent by the pirates? "
Fid continued, "A spy for the pirates? I don't think that's possible! There were many corpses on the starship, and most of them were equipped with mechs! "At this point, Fid's expression turned strange." And their mechs were very strange! "
"Strange?" Jing Mo asked curiously. Mechs that even the mech squad leader found strange, how could he not be curious?
Fid paused for a while, and said, "Yes, very strange! Their mechs were undoubtedly advanced mechs. You can imagine, if all 50 of them were equipped with advanced mechs, how powerful would they be! Also, from the looks of the corpses, the distribution of muscles on these dead bodies shows that they should have been of a rather high standard when they were alive. They should all be advanced operators. "
"More than 50 advanced mechs? And more than 50 advanced operators? "Jing Mo couldn't help but exclaim. The title of advanced operator also signified great strength. No matter where, advanced operators were the targets that all factions would fight to rope in. On the other hand, the "Oak Leaves" Mech Squad under Fid's command only had 10 advanced level mech pilots, and Fid himself was also an advanced level mech pilot. Therefore, one could imagine how shocked Jing Mo was when he found out that there were more than 50 advanced mech pilots on that starship.
Fid nodded solemnly. "Yes, without a doubt, I checked it myself! It was common knowledge that when the owner of a mech died, the mech would automatically reset to a white mech. The strange thing about these mechs is that even though their owners had all died, they did not reset. Instead, they automatically entered into a self-protection mode. No one can use the mechs, and no one can obtain any information from them! "
"Mechs that know self-protection?" Jing Mo was dumbfounded.
"As far as I know, this technology is only used by a few aristocratic families and the military!" Fid told him everything he knew.
The aristocratic families were fine, as he might be able to benefit from it. If it was the military … Jing Mo's scalp went numb. That … That would be troublesome. Jing Mo would rather die than have anything to do with these cold-blooded people!
"Also …" Fid looked at Jing Mo, who had a terrible look on his face, and opened his mouth.
Jing Mo was sure that he was going crazy! Heavens! He thought he had picked up a great bargain, but it turned out to be a huge problem! Jing Mo panted heavily. He was not sure if his heart could hold out until Jing Mo finished!
Jing Mo took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. After a while, he looked better, and motioned for Fid to continue.
Fid glanced at Jing Mo, and continued, "Also, I can't find any logo on their mechs. There's no date of manufacture, no place of manufacture, and it's not a model that I know of. Also, this starship has no logo, place of manufacture, or date of manufacture. However, there's no doubt that it's very advanced. More specifically, it's more advanced than any civilian starship available in the market!"
"More advanced than any civilian starship? What do you mean? " Jing Mo asked doubtfully. After half a minute, his face suddenly paled. "Could this be a military starship? That can't be! Wasn't the production of military starships banned a long time ago? Even the military can't produce them! Didn't the 5 major galaxies ban the production and research of military starships? Are these people crazy? Aren't they afraid of death? " Three hundred years ago, the government of the Tian Da Galaxy suddenly issued a joint statement that all organizations and individuals, including the military, were prohibited from owning and developing any type of warship. Violators would be punished severely. It was also from then on that the rise of mech pilots as the most important combat resource.
Fid was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "You're right to a certain extent, but …" A hint of pain and struggle flashed in Fid's eyes, but Jing Mo did not notice it at all.
Seeing that Jing Mo was on the verge of breaking down, Fid felt the need to comfort him. "Don't worry. Although it's very advanced, it's not equipped with any firepower, so it's not really a warship!"
Jing Mo sighed in relief. "Phew, you're just trying to scare me. Next time, don't joke around like this. I'm not sure if my weak heart won't explode!"
Fid laughed bitterly inside. Although this starship was not equipped with any weapons, it had already exceeded the limits set by the government.
Fid's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "And the most important point!"
Jing Mo almost collapsed on the table, and said in a sad voice, "Heavens, do you still want people to live?"
Fid ignored him, and spoke his mind directly. "Judging from the damage on the hull, they were indeed hit by the impact. You can imagine the force of the impact, to kill fifty expert mech pilots almost at the same time. As for how the three of them survived such an impact, I have no intention of investigating. However, I did not find any debris other than the wreckage of the hull. What I want to know is, what happened to them? Was it man-made? Or was it a natural, unbelievable event? If it was done by someone, would the culprit carry on with the assassination after finding out that there were three survivors? If it was done by someone, I didn't believe that they would have mercy on us and would care about us. Moreover, I didn't believe that our ship could withstand even half of the impact from the attack. If it was a natural phenomenon, would it continue to happen? That's the question I'm interested in! "
Jing Mo was completely speechless, and his face was ashen!
If only he had not gone to save the three of them. Jing Mo was filled with endless regret!
The fleet sailed forward quietly and steadily, but what was waiting for them behind the endless darkness? Jing Mo and Fid did not dare to think about it!
