Mad Blade and the rest of the players were waiting at the emergency escape airship's gate, bored.
"The others are fighting, and we're the only ones doing nothing. Don't you think we're leeching?" Fragrant Bear said. He was one of the three carriages of Fried Eggplants with Fish, a cute boy.
"Our mission is very important too, controlling the escape route …" Mad Blade paused for a while and said in frustration, "But we're indeed leeching."
Sun Eggplant stroked his stubble and said, "We haven't gotten to know each other. You're the biggest dark horse in this Pro League, the number one Mechanical Pugilist in China. Tsk tsk, you're quite famous."
Mad Blade was embarrassed and said humbly, "Don't flatter me. I'm just lucky."
The top teams liked to interact with players with potential. With results, they would be respected by their peers. They would not ignore Mad Blade just because he was a newbie. The few of them had a good chat.
After a few rounds of flattery, Dancing Fish Dragon suddenly said, "Are you interested in signing a contract with Fried Eggplants with Fish?"
Mad Blade quickly waved his hands. "I like Fried Eggplants with Fish a lot, but Rivervale has been good to me. They're planning to build a new team with me as the core."
Dancing Fish Dragon nodded and continued to be silent.
After chatting for a while, footsteps came from afar. Mad Blade and the rest stopped talking and looked in the direction of the footsteps cautiously.
Lerden appeared, frowned at the players, and asked, "You're not scavengers. Who are you?"
"And who are you?" Frenzied Sword asked.
Lerden did not answer this question. He could tell that the players were not scavengers from their attire. He was a little surprised and wondered if they were friends or foes. Why were they guarding the escape airship?
"Are you … passengers?" Lerden's eyes moved as he suddenly asked.
"Er, sort of."
"You're escaping too?" Lerden pointed at the dozen or so airships and said with a deep voice, "If you're willing to pay, I can protect you on the way."
Lerden still wanted to make a profit when they were escaping for their lives.
"We're not escaping. Black … cough cough, someone told us to guard this place. They're resisting the scavengers on the airship. The situation is good. Why are we escaping?"
There are still people resisting? Lerden's eyes sparkled. He asked, "How many companions do you have?"
"Thirty or forty."
Lerden started thinking. When he was running away, he thought that the main control room would fall without his protection. However, he could still hear the faint sounds of fighting along the way. Now, he finally figured out that there was another group of people resisting.
This group of people seemed to be quite strong. From the looks of it, the main control room was guarded. If that was the case, there was no need for him to escape.
"If we go back now, we can still help and earn the captain's pay."
Lerden changed his mind and gave up on running away. He said in a low voice, "I'm a mercenary. My code name is Green Knight. Where are your friends fighting? I can help them."
Mad Blade and the others looked at each other and pointed out that a group of players was currently fighting with the enemy at the place where the scavengers had boarded the ship. They were trying to cut off the enemy's retreat.
After getting the information he wanted, Lerden turned around and killed his way back.
…
After a short scream, only Serpent Braid was left standing in the tunnel. He was on the verge of collapsing. His body was full of wounds, and he was panting like a beast at the end of its road.
Kerlodd fought side by side with the players and cleared out all the scavenger minions. Serpent Braid saw that the situation was not good and wanted to fight his way out of the encirclement. However, Han Xiao, who was not restrained, made him understand why the flowers were so red.
In a head-on battle, Han Xiao completely suppressed Serpent Braid. He hung him up and beat him. Serpent Braid's HP was almost at death's door. His hand that was holding the war hammer was shaking.
"You still want to struggle?" Han Xiao's voice came through the mechanical suit's visor. With the Sonic Sphere revolving behind him, he said, "You're dead meat if you continue to fight. A scavenger leader like you usually has a bounty on his head. Put down your weapon, and I'll let you go to prison in one piece. Otherwise, there's no need to lose a part of your body."
Han Xiao was very curious about the scavengers' motive for capturing Kerlodd. Although the Godora people had a high status in the Colton Star Cluster, they were not as valuable as a spaceship. These scavengers definitely had an employer behind them. Han Xiao wanted to keep them alive to ask for more details.
Clang!
Serpent Braid let go of his hand, and the war hammer fell to the ground. He could not stand still and fell to the ground, panting heavily. His expression was indignant, but his actions showed that he had compromised.
Although Serpent Braid was impulsive, he was not brainless. Going to prison alive was definitely better than dying on the spot.
Everyone locked Serpent Braid up and made sure that he could not resist. Even though Serpent Braid was sitting, his upper body was still slightly more than two meters tall. When Han Xiao saw this huge body, a thought appeared in his mind.
This guy is a hybrid between a rock giant and a human. With such a huge difference in body size, it doesn't matter if the rock giant is his father or mother. It's still very scary …
Han Xiao quickly stopped to prevent himself from thinking about some terrifying scenes.
This atmosphere is too unrestrained … True love does not discriminate between genders, it does not discriminate between races!
Hmm … Speaking of which, mating might not be true love …
I can't afford to offend this guy.
Han Xiao quickly calmed himself down and got rid of the random thoughts in his mind. "Tell me, which organization hired you, and why do you want to capture the Godora people?"
Serpent Braid snorted angrily. "Don't think that I'll tell you. Not selling information about our employer is a professional ethics in our line of work!"
Han Xiao sneered and threatened, "We can keep you alive to exchange for the bounty, but we don't necessarily need to keep you in one piece. Hurry up and give me some information, or I'll make you lose some."
"My employer is Dark-star."
Serpent Braid quickly backed down.
Han Xiao curled his lips.
A scavenger talking about ethics with me? Are you kidding me?
Kerlodd's expression suddenly changed. "Dark-star?!"
When he mentioned it, Han Xiao remembered that Dark-star and Godora were sworn enemies.
Serpent Braid explained the cause and effect.
"Dark-star has been secretly buying pure-blooded Godora people. It seems that they are carrying out some kind of blood sacrifice, and the price is very high. My people found this Godora person. You should know that the chances of a pure-blooded Godora riding on a low-level tour group with weak defenses are very low. This is an opportunity to make money, so we contacted Dark-star. They settled on a price and hired us to capture Godora people … That's what happened. "
The pure-blooded Godorans had a very high status, and the Investigators who were active in the outside world all had their own spaceships. They would almost never take a low-grade tour group. This time, they were unlucky and were discovered by the scavengers. Furthermore, DarkStar had secretly hired them, so they had attracted this attack. Han Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. The enemy's target was indeed not this group of 'natives'.
Because low-level tour groups were very weak, the scavengers dared to attack. Han Xiao wanted to ride on a high-level tour group, but Kerlodd was poor and did not have much money.
He could do whatever he wanted with money, but he could only be wretched without money.
"In the end, it's all because you are poor," Han Xiao grumbled.
Kerlodd was furious. Damn, is there still justice in this world when the people who robbed me think I'm poor?
Although he was not the target, he was still in danger because of this. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Dark-star … This organization is related to the Mutation Disaster. I didn't expect to come into contact with them so quickly. I'll meet them sooner or later.
After the crisis in the main control room was resolved, Han Xiao asked the players beside him. The players used the interface to communicate with each other, ignoring distance and obstacles. He used this method to monitor the progress of the other players. Short Horn Star was about to enter the warning zone, and the scavengers on the ship were all rushing to their own spaceships to escape. The players who went to cut off the scavengers' escape route were from Dynasty and Temple of God. They were fighting fiercely at the location where the enemy had boarded the ship.
There was another leader in the scavengers' team, and his strength was similar to Serpent Braid. He was like a mini boss, and Dynasty and Temple of God were having a hard time fighting him.
Han Xiao decided to go and help. At this time, the captain walked over and said gratefully, "That's great! The main control room is protected! It's all thanks to you. As long as you stay here, this spaceship will be safe … "
Han Xiao interrupted him and said, "My companions are preventing the enemy from escaping. I'm going to help. This Godora guy will stay here with these people to protect the main control room."
"You're not staying?" The captain was shocked, and his face was filled with unwillingness. He mumbled, "Don't worry about those scavengers who escaped. It's fine as long as we are fine …"
The captain did not feel safe at all. He did not care whether the scavengers escaped or not. He only wanted Han Xiao to stay and protect him. Only then would he feel safe.
