Chapter 103 Seriously Damaged

Chapter 103 Severely damaged

"Alan, where can I buy accessories, my ship needs to be repaired." Xia Fei asked.

Allen raised his finger and glanced at the huge spotlight outside the window. The interior of the Xunshi was dark. This oversized spotlight was like an artificial sun, which separated day and night.

"It's getting dark. There is a rule at Redstone Base. After dark, everyone must go back to their homes and not wander around outside. If you want to buy the equipment you need, you have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest." Allen said.

"Curfew?" Xia Fei asked curiously, "Isn't this a free port? Why is there a curfew?"

Allen chuckled, "Freedom? There is no real freedom anywhere. The reason why Redstone Base is called a free port is because anyone can come here to do business, even prisoners, pirates, and addicts are welcome here. you."

"But that doesn't mean that the base has no restrictions. The people of the Ning family here are the rules. Anyone who disobeys their control will be punished. Recently, the Ning family and a group of pirates called owls have been very unhappy. More than a dozen people died in a row, so the people of the Ning family patrol every night, and they are very strict with strangers."

Xia Fei nodded, "A dozen people died one after another, but I think the atmosphere on the street is normal. People still work and eat the same way, and no one seems nervous."

"Don't be stupid." Allen patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "People living in the Redstone Base are not kind, and it doesn't matter if a few people die, only the Ning family are nervous, because all the people who die are Their bodyguards and mercenaries."

Xia Fei and Alan chatted for a while. From the conversation, Xia Fei learned that there are about 30,000 people living in the Redstone Base, of which only 10,000 are long-term residents, and the rest are all passing businessmen and wandering girls. Wanted criminals etc.

The huge wilderness star field does not even have a planet suitable for human survival, and some are just man-made living spaces similar to the redstone base.

Redstone bases can only be considered medium-sized in the wilderness, and some large bases have more than 100,000 people. The three religions and nine streams are all included, and the personnel composition is extremely complex.

There is no trade between the Human Alliance and the Zerg, so the wilderness star field connecting the two major forces of the universe has become an active stage for merchants. They sell the food, textiles, coffee, and wine produced by humans to the Zerg, and buy a lot from the Zerg. The ore was transported back to the Human Alliance, and the profits were quite large.

The Zerg controls the output of most of the elf hearts and crystal core mines in the universe. On the Zerg side, just a bottle of good wine can be exchanged for almost one gram of the elf heart, but transporting one gram of ore back to the Human Alliance is not enough. It can be sold for tens of thousands of stars, which is hundreds of times the profit.

Most bugs do not consume coffee and alcohol. These barbaric and low-level creatures are no different from animals, but there are still some high-level bugs living in the Zerg. These bugs have behaviors similar to those of humans. They are addicted to Wine is like life, living a luxurious and desolate life.

Although this illegal border trade can be called huge profits, it also contains huge risks. The Wild Star Region is just like its name, desolate, barbaric, and the sea of ​​stars is fickle.

Things like the sudden interruption of communication signals, the inexplicable disappearance of ships, and the robbery by pirates are commonplace in the eyes of the locals. In fact, it is impossible to count how many ships are buried in the Xinghai every year, because there are too many.

Businessmen have the nature of chasing profits. Every year, a large number of human and Zerg businessmen risk their lives to come here to do business. The myth of getting rich overnight happens every day, but people don’t know that getting rich overnight is always just a few people. The patent, behind every rich businessman, there are still many losers hidden behind.

After a while, the huge spotlight finally went out, and Allen called Xia Fei and Sarah to the living room for dinner.

Allen took out a few old ceramic plates. These plates were carefully hidden deep in the cupboard and covered with dust. Obviously, Allen loved these porcelains very much and seldom used them on weekdays.

"Eat this again? Didn't you just make a lot of money from Xia Fei? When can we buy some real vegetables and eggs, my mouth is full of bluegrass." Sarah took a hand from the pot He grabbed a handful of pudding and sent it to his mouth, complaining in dissatisfaction.

Allen stretched out his hand to hit Sarah's arm, but unfortunately his movements were not as fast as Sarah's, and she escaped.

"What does it look like? We have guests today, can't you behave yourself?" Allen said with a sigh.

"Guest." Sarah swallowed a mouthful of pudding and waved at Old Allen, "You said at noon today that you were going to slaughter Xia Fei, so why did he become a guest again at this time?"

Old Allen was a little embarrassed, he pouted and said, "Business is business, and business with us is a guest. I haven't asked you yet, why are there ten white dews missing from the fruit you gave me?"

Sarah shrugged, "That's my salary, of course it's going to be deducted first."

Old Allen shook his head heavily, "You child."

Xia Fei smiled slightly, and took out a few pieces of chocolate, a few boxes of canned beef, a large bag of plums, and a bottle of wine from the space ring.

Sarah once asked Xia Fei to hide the ring, but Xia Fei felt that it was inconvenient to do so, so she just turned the side with the space stone on it, so it looked like an ordinary ring from the outside, unless Someone opened Xia Fei's palm, otherwise no one would find out.

"Chocolate," Sarah said in surprise, tearing open the package a few times and filling a chunk of chocolate into her mouth, excited like a child.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, I still have it here." Xia Fei said with a smile.

A girl like Sarah is the most satisfying, a few bars of chocolate will make her happy to the sky, and if this is a girl who grew up in the city, she will frown and say, "I'm sorry, I'm losing weight, and I only have to lose weight every day. Eat an apple."

If you don't have a car or a house, don't try to satisfy them, and even if you do, they'll think that's what you should do, and they'll never be full of gratitude.

After eating a piece of chocolate, Sarah licked her lips with satisfaction, and quietly put the rest of the pieces in her pocket to eat later.

Allen took out two glasses, poured the wine, put it in front of his nose, sniffed it, raised his neck and drank it.

"Yeah, good wine." Old Allen greedily returned the taste.

Early in the morning, Xia Fei and Sarah walked side by side on the streets of the Redstone Base.

They first came to the dock to check the damage to Xia Fei's Eclipse. Xia Fei had already figured out the damage inside the spacecraft, and now they had to figure out the condition of the armor and external components.

The once-spirited Lunar Eclipse is now utterly devastated and damaged beyond recognition. It has changed from a fledgling eagle soaring to a chicken that has been soaked in heavy rain.

Drag the ship into a hidden warehouse, Sarah wiped a sweat on her sleeve and said, "This battle must be very brutal, it's a miracle that your ship can survive."

Xia Fei nodded. A frigate and a destroyer were bombarding side by side. It was a crazy act, and the consequences were of course serious.

"I'm going to help others transport some slaves in the morning, and I'll be back before lunch," Sarah said.

Xia Fei was a little curious, "Slave?"

Sarah said indifferently: "Those worm nobles like beautiful girls and young men of human beings very much. A slave transported from here to the area controlled by the zerg can exchange ten grams of elf hearts, which is very profitable."

Xia Fei didn't say anything. It is conceivable that the traffickers collected those boys and girls from all over the alliance and put them in cages and sold them like animals.

In fact, there is also a slave trade on some barbaric planets in the alliance. Although the human beings living in the universe have formed a powerful alliance society, they are far from each other.

Human beings have always been a chaotic race. Countless religions, cultures, and customs are intertwined. It looks like two eyes and one mouth, but behind each pair of eyes is so different.

Sarah has lived in the Wilderness Starfield since she was a child. Everything here is normal to her. There is no difference between justice and evil. Whoever has the toughest fist is the boss. This is the only law in the Wilderness Starfield.

"I'll lock this door so that no one will disturb you, and I'll pick you up at noon." Sarah said as she walked out.

Xia Fei took out a box of canned peaches from the ring and threw it to her, "Keep it for the road."

"Fruit" Sarah hugged the can in her arms and was overjoyed. She turned her head and ran out at Xia Fei with a sweet smile.

Chinese people have always emphasized the exchange of gifts, and Xia Fei discovered that gift-giving is a tried-and-true trick even in the cosmos society.

Money, women, violence, these are the three deadly weapons in the universe. Anyone who grasps these three deadly weapons can be like a duck to water no matter where they are. Facts have proved that as long as there are people, these methods will always work. .

Xia Fei took the damage list provided by the battleship's self-inspection system in his hand, and inspected the Eclipse from the inside out.

The intelligent self-inspection system is very advanced, and inspection reports rarely make mistakes, but Xia Fei always felt that he had to inspect it himself to be at ease. After all, this ship was a warship sailing in the universe, not a flat boat for lovers on an artificial lake.

Navigating in the crisis-ridden Star Sea, Xia Fei had to ensure that he knew his battleship like the back of his hand, and that every screw could not be misaligned.

Near noon, Xia Fei got a long maintenance list in his hand. The list was 16 pages long. The top four pages were the parts that must be replaced immediately. The following items can be maintained until they return.

Xia Fei sat on the ground and smoked a few cigarettes. Sarah opened the warehouse and walked in when she snuffed out the fifth cigarette butt.

"How is it? Can your ship be repaired?" Sarah asked cheerfully. It seemed that she was in a good mood today and her work was going well.

There was a yellow thing hanging on the corner of Sarah's mouth. Xia Fei knew that it was a drop of juice from a can of peaches. She was like a little wild cat who had never eaten a big meal. A box of canned peaches for three yuan and fifty cents could make her Satisfied for a while.

Using his sleeves to help Sarah wipe the peach juice from the corners of her mouth, Xia Fei handed her the sixteen-page list.

"Oh my god so much" Sarah exclaimed.

Xia Fei shook his head, "Not all of them are needed, as long as you have the items on the first four pages, you can make a living and fly back."

Sarah frowned, "The Wilderness Starfield can't compare to where you live. I guess it's difficult to find the first four pages. If you can't do it, you can only go to the ancient battlefield to salvage it yourself."
