Chapter 24: Hey, Bichi!

  The twelve-meter-long small transport ship left the belly of the pirate ship and slowly entered the atmosphere of the earth-yellow planet.

  Hamilton, who was in the passenger seat, stared at the land covered with yellow sand below, feeling an inexplicable sense of belonging in his heart.

  He thought of his hometown, and felt a deep sense of nostalgia in his heart.

  Although this nostalgia was quickly diluted by Mimili who was wearing a tight spacesuit and flying a spaceship.

  She knows how to show off her figure.

  ”Here you go, Hanton.”

  Kolev in the back seat handed over a metal mask with a sophisticated air purification device on it.

  Kolev smiled and said:

  ”I just checked the latest news from Cole Harbor and Sherman Empire. They did not disclose the fact that we escaped from prison. They only said that there was a riot in Cole Harbor Prison, resulting in the death and injury of more than a dozen guards and prisoners.

  ”I will try later to see if I can buy information about you. It would be interesting if your little lover made you a dead or wounded prisoner to hide it from the Sherman Empire’s military intelligence agency.”

  ”That’s useless. Lina will continue to track my whereabouts. She just doesn’t want other intelligence agencies to notice the existence of me as a prey.”

  Hamilton put on the mask and his voice became a little more metallic:

  ”From now on, don’t call me Hanton by my real name. Call me by my pseudonym ... Call me Hamilton.”

  ”Hamilton?” Kolev called.

  ”Uncle Hamilton? Uncle Hamilton seems to be more agreeable.”

  Mimily’s sweet voice penetrated Hamilton’s ears, making him feel a little itchy in his heart.

  ’She is my niece. ‘

  ’Still the Starry Widow. ‘

  Hamilton reminded himself in his heart and said: “It’s up to you.”

  A thin energy shield appeared on the outside of the transport ship, which not only blocked out the high temperature caused by friction, but also prevented the spacecraft from generating excessive vibrations.

  The gravitational acceleration of this planet is slightly greater than that of the Earth, which would not be any burden to Hamilton.

  Stepping on real land again, feeling the pleasure of the leather boots being surrounded by sand, Hamilton couldn’t help but hum: “Finally stepped on the ground again.”

  ”Has Uncle Hanton been traveling in the universe for a long time?”

  Mimi Li asked from the side. She had already put on a metal mask, her long burgundy hair was tied into two braids and placed in front of her shoulders. She also had a laser gun full of punk stickers on her shoulders.

  ”Yes, I haven’t stepped on the soil for more than a year,” Hamilton said with a smile. “I always feel that it is very friendly here.”

  ”Follow me all!”

  Kolev’s voice came from the edge of the two people’s masks, where a pocket speaker was hidden, which not only changed the wearer’s voice, but also served as a team communication device.

  Kolev muttered: “We need to leave before Kimo comes to avoid confronting him, which will push the situation to a stage beyond our control.”

  ”Let’s go.”

  Hamilton strolled forward with his hands behind his back, his movements unhurried, gradually reducing the distance between him and the three people in front of him with his stride.

  And his upright figure fell in Mimili’s eyes;

  Very elegant.

  ...

  This planet is called Orheifu. It is located on the edge of the middle of the second spiral arm of the Milky Way. It is currently the largest black market trading center in this airspace and is also a temporary intelligence gathering center for pirates in this area.

  Cunning pirates always like to change the location of the market, and Orheifu is just one of the footholds of this black market.

  This pattern reminded Hamilton of the collective festival activities he participated in in his childhood in his rural hometown - the big market. The hateful group of vendors used inferior dolls to defraud him of his pocket money. It was also an area that changed transactions from time to time.

  This habitable planet has residential areas.

  As Hamilton passed the top of the dunes, he spotted two cities on the horizon.

  A city is in a translucent cover, with tall buildings and a good environment, and aircraft are flying back and forth.

  The other one is exposed to the threat of wind and sand. It is mostly a building embedded in the ground. There is a high wall on the outside to block the wind and sand. A few aircraft occasionally pass by.

  The black market they were going to had nothing to do with these two cities.

  Walking down this sand dune is a square, and two transport spaceships that are loading goods occupy the area; passing through the square, you can reach the location of the black market - the man-made canyon covered with sand.

  A sign prohibiting aircraft was erected in front of the entrance, which was only seven or eight meters wide. Twenty or thirty guards in various clothes and holding laser guns were chatting and laughing.

  Someone recognized Kolev and shouted his name in surprise. Kolev raised his hand and waved.

  Like the old leader of the pirates.

  Soon, the news of Kolev’s appearance spread throughout the canyon, and many elderly people even took the initiative to appear on both sides of this straight street to greet Kolev.

  Hamilton was relieved in his heart.

  Kolev’s reputation is very high, which will be a great help for him to launch his next spacecraft plan.

  Hamilton saw many children and teenagers here.

  They have different skin colors, and the ambition and desire in their eyes are completely undisguised.

  The sparse buildings on both sides of the street are actually spaceships with their tail cabins opened. Their main bodies are buried in the sand. If a dangerous situation is discovered, they can blow away the sand as quickly as possible and escape far away.

  These cunning pirates.

  Not long after walking, Kolev found a familiar old man in front of a store with a rotating light cabinet that looked like a barber shop, and hugged him vigorously.

  This was a bloated shop owner with a sand-proof towel wrapped around his head and thick protective clothing. There was still a sauce similar to ketchup at the corner of his mouth. When he caught Kolev, he started complaining.

  ”Oh, Kolev! I just heard that you escaped, but I didn’t expect you to show up here! I knew it! The bird cage of the Star Court can’t contain you at all!

  ”But Kolev, it was not a wise choice for you to hand over the Black Dragon to Kimo. Kimo is too eager for quick success and too cruel. He actually tried to change the contract we have executed for more than 20 years, saying that we made too much money. Got it!”

  Mimili next to Hamilton curled her lips slightly, seeming to be a little disdainful.

  ”Hahaha!”

  Kolev smiled heartily:

  ”There’s nothing I can do about it. Kimo just likes to take advantage of it. Leaving Black Dragon to Kimo is the most suitable candidate I can think of! Come on, let me see what new tricks you have here!”

  ”If others come, of course I will only use those flashy things to deal with them, but you are different, Kolev, you saved my life!”

  The store owner said exaggeratedly: “As long as you take any item I have in mind and take it away, I will give you a 50% discount on other items!”

  Hamilton raised his eyebrows, the owner of this store is quite good at business.

  He looked at the display in this store and found that it was an exhibition of individual weapons. The first floor was filled with various types of firearms and protective clothing. In the corner, there were also individual assault equipment such as hoverbikes and exoskeleton mechas; up and down There are also two floors each, and I don’t know what kind of treasures are hidden inside.
