Chapter 27： Part ways

(recommendation ticket, ask for ticket~~)

Under the guidance of the towing beam, the shuttle slowly moored into the apron No. 2 of the scientific research spacecraft.

After the hatch was closed and the air pressure returned to normal, Clapham led Tang Fang and others off the shuttle with a sad look.

The responding personnel first took the three wounded to the medical cabin for treatment, Tang Fang and others were arranged to rest in the living area, and Clapham was led by the adjutant to the bridge to meet with Joanna.

Along the way, what I can see, including the original soldiers and engineers on board, as well as the scientific research personnel who have retreated from the ground base, all look worried.

The entire base was occupied by aliens, and there were no combatants left. No one would be pleased with such a loss.

Of course, this doesn't include Howson and Byron, who almost killed them. In this turbulent situation and the smoke filled with gunpowder, once the opposition is either you or me, the fool will worry about the life and death of the enemy.

Tang Fang, Byron, Aros and Hausen are arranged in a room less than 20 square meters. Two bunk beds, a multifunctional terminal workbench, and a swivel chair are all the furnishings of the room.

Hausen tore off the blood-stained combat uniform, threw it in the corner, turned over and ran to the upper bunk and fell asleep. Aros stuffed the only cigar under his pillow, turned and walked out of the room to find the toilet to pee. Byron sat on the lower bed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

As for Tang Fang, he sat down on the swivel chair and called out the personal communication terminal on the workbench.

There is an e-mail from Recto. It was sent one day ago. Tang Lin, the sender, clicked it and opened it. It was a piece of video data.

Tang Lin appeared on the display screen with joy: "Brother, I can tell you the good news. I passed the entrance exam of Lanna Military Academy."

"Hey, after graduation, maybe I will become your superior, hahahaha."

……

"Also, everything is fine with Xiaoyun and I, don't read it."

After watching this one-and-a-half minute video, Tang Fang smiled knowingly, and he was relieved that he knew that they were safe.

The Duke of Yadan and the Wei family of Rekto have never dealt with them very much. This is well known in the empire. Tang Lin was admitted to the Lanna Military Academy, and Tang Yun's school was a boarding system. There was no danger in coming.

"Is he your brother?" Byron's voice came from behind.

Tang Fang looked back at him: "Not bad."

Byron was silent for a while, and said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"Help?"

"Yes, help!"

……

After listening to his narration, Tang Fang nodded unconsciously.

It turned out that Byron wanted to escape from this ship. Although Clapham was grateful to Tang Fang for his life-saving grace while on the shuttle, and vowed to do his best to save the lives of Byron, Aros and others, according to the current situation, he lost his base. , How to protect their safety if they are too busy to take care of themselves.

What's more, Byron is a famous pirate leader, unlike Aros and Howson, whether his life can be left or not is determined by a mere major.

"Okay." Tang Fang pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

A smile appeared on Byron's face, and he thanked him very sincerely.

"I'll ask Zhou Ai and Eva if they want to leave with you. After a while, Aros will come back and ask him what he means." After speaking, Tang Fang pushed the door and walked out of the room.

Zhou Ai and Eva’s room was on the other side of the research ship. After some inquiries, they found the two of them. Knowing what they wanted, Eva couldn’t wait to leave with Byron, but Zhou Ai nodded and agreed for some reason. Come down.

Tang Fang and the second daughter decided on the time and place to meet, and left.

When he walked into the room, Aros had already returned from the toilet. He put the last cigar to his lips, and he was licking it without a bite. His movements were gentle and he was in ecstasy.

Tang Fang suddenly wanted to laugh. He thought of a hypothesis very wickedly. If Aros was not a man, but a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, what a lovely scene this would be!

"It's easy to steal the space shuttle, but how do you break through the empire border checkpoint?" Aros didn't even notice the strange smile on the opposite boy's face, frowning and asked.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Byron replied with a smile.

Aros nodded: "Well...I choose to stay!"

The two of Tang Fang and Byron who said in one sentence were taken aback, and the upper bunk Hausen sat up, touching his head like a **** and said: "I will stay too."

"Why?" Tang Fang looked at Aros, then at Howson, and asked in a deep voice.

"There is no reason, I don't want to." Aros finished speaking lightly, after all he couldn't hold back his smoking cravings, and lit the last cigar.

As for Hausen, his brows frowned as if pulling his pants down, but it took a long time before he came out with a very irrelevant answer: "I owe you a life."

"Do you owe me a life, is there any conflict with you?" Tang Fang was a little bit dumbfounded. How could this Howson resemble the big girl in the romance drama, "You look at my body and you are responsible to me"的调调.

"I don't care about it, unless you also go with him." After that, this guy also learned Aros and stopped talking.

Tang Fang looked at the two of them, and shook their heads a little helplessly.

"That's right, or you can go along."

Tang Fang shook his head and said nothing. Byron and the others are alone. They can leave without any burden, but he is different. He has younger brothers and younger sisters. They really want to leave. Who will take care of them? Not to mention the imperial punishment system for even sitting.

Seeing this, Byron sighed, fell silent, and the whole room returned to calm.

……

It was the appointed time in a blink of an eye. The four people walked out of the room and came to the appointed place to meet Zhou Ai and Eva, and then rushed to the hangar of the research ship separately.

After experiencing the thrilling scene earlier, most of the people who escaped from Planet 5 have already fallen asleep. The staff of the research ship also went to their rooms to rest after completing the containment work. The entire hangar No. 2 except for a few cases Except for the mechanics doing maintenance work, no one else was seen.

Very easily stun the mechanic, Byron, Zhou Ai, and Eva got into a "horizon" class space shuttle.

Howson and Aros started the launch procedure, the hatch slowly opened, the landing gear was raised vertically, and the shuttle was sent to the ejection orbit.

The countdown is over, and the instantaneous burst of magnetic energy pushes the shuttle motor away, and the blue tail flame jetted by the propeller lights up most of the apron. Through the observation window in the control room, Tang Fang saw Zhou Ai in the shuttle cabin turning around, waved at him, said a word, and looked at his mouth, it should be "thank you".

The shuttle is like a thunder and lightning, rushing into the deep and vast space of the universe, gradually drifting away.

Seeing that the little red dot on the lidar suddenly disappeared without a trace, Tang Fang knew that Byron had started the speed engine and entered virtual space-time. At the same time, a team of guards came outside the control room.

Fifteen minutes later, Tang Fang, Aros and Howson were escorted to the bridge.

The entire bridge is brightly lit, and the system operators are orderly dealing with the work at hand. In front of the center console, Joanna in a captain's outfit was examining the image data sent by the drone.

Klapen walked to Tang's side with a cold face, and said angrily: "What's the matter with that shuttle?"

Tang Fang had already prepared his excuses and replied unhurriedly: "Company commander, let them be free after the resource survey mission is over. This is what he said at the beginning. As free men, Byron and the three of them took the shuttle. Is there anything wrong with leaving?"

After saying this, he leaned forward again, lowered his voice and said, "Company commander, you said before that you will do your best to save their lives, but to be honest, as Byron..."

He did not continue, but Clapham knew the rest of it. To be honest, he might be able to barely save Aros and Howson in his capacity, but Byron, he really doesn't have that ability.

"There is no way for us to do this." Tang Fang sighed, "Actually, most of the people who know Byron's identity have already died. As long as you don't tell me about this, once you ask about it, it will be said that he was already under the siege of aliens. Now, it should be easy to conceal it."

Clapham was stunned for a moment, UU reading looked at him several times, unconsciously snorted: "Okay, Tang Yan, you say you are old wood, but today I saw a lot of ghosts. ."

Tang Fang said with a dry smile, "No way, it's all forced."

"Anyway, your stealing of the Horizon-class space shuttle is irrefutable." Clapham said with a sullen face: "I will deal with you when I finish my work."

Tang Fang shrugged noncommittal, this is not a terrible crime, not to mention the future, who can think of what direction it will take.

"Captain, a space shock has been detected." The staff responsible for monitoring the space environment around the research ship exclaimed.

At the same time, an orange-yellow circular flash was lit on the holographic stereoscopic projection of the center console.

Joanna's moist face showed a look of surprise: "It's subspace resonance."

"The liaison officer, is there a request for liaison from the military department?"

The liaison officer on the left turned his head and said: "Report to the captain that the call for help has only been sent for half an hour. No matter how fast the military department reacts, it is impossible to respond in such a short time."

"Since there is no response from the military department, it means that the uninvited guest who immediately left the virtual space and time is not the imperial fleet that came to support, who would it be?" Joanna wrinkled her brows.

Just when she was hesitating whether to activate the scientific research ship’s defensive posture, a brilliance flashed about 100 kilometers away from the research ship, and a military ship about 200 meters long and resembling a shark appeared in the cold and dark endless void. .
