Chapter 27

(recommended tickets, request tickets~~)

Guided by the tractor beam, the shuttle slowly parked on the No. 2 apron of the scientific research spacecraft.

After the door was closed and the air pressure returned to normal, Clapham, with a sad face, led Tang Fang and the others down the shuttle.

The personnel responsible for the response 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 saw, including the original soldiers and engineers on the ship, as well as the scientific researchers who had retreated from the ground base, all looked worried.

The entire base was occupied by aliens, and there were not one out of ten combatants. No one would be happy to hear such a loss.

Of course, this didn't include Hausen, Byron and the others, those guys almost killed them. In this turbulent time, the smoke of gunpowder is filled with gunpowder. Once the confrontation is either your death or my death, only fools worry about the life and death of the enemy.

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

Hausen tore off his blood-stained combat uniform, threw it in the corner, rolled over to the top bunk, and fell asleep. Aros stuffed the only cigar under the pillow, turned and walked out of the room to find the toilet to pee. Byron sat on the lower bunk, thinking something.

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

There was an email from Recto, which was sent a day ago. The sender, Tang Lin, clicked on it. It was a piece of video data.

Tang Lin appeared on the video screen with a look of joy: "Brother, I have good news for you, I passed the entrance exam for Lanna Military Academy."

"Hey, after graduating in the future, maybe I will become your superior, hahahaha."

...

"Also, Xiaoyun and I are all fine, don't read."

After watching this video, which lasted only one and a half minutes, Tang Fang smiled knowingly, and he was relieved to know that the two of them were safe.

The Duke of Yadan of Star Recto and the Wei family have never dealt with each other very well. This is well known in the empire. Tang Lin was admitted to the Lanna Military Academy, and Tang Yun's school was a boarding school, so there was no danger.

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

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

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

"help?"

"Yes, help!"

...

After a while, after listening to his narration, Tang Fang nodded unconsciously.

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

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

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

A smile appeared on Byron's face,

Thank you very sincerely.

"I'm going to ask Zhou Ai and Eva if they want to leave with you. When Aros comes back, you can ask him what he means." After speaking, Tang Fang pushed open 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. Eva couldn’t wait to leave with Byron, but Zhou Ai nodded and agreed. down.

Tang Fang and the two daughters set the time and place for the meeting, and left.

When he entered the room, Aros had already returned from the toilet, and he put the last cigar to his lips, licking the last cigar one by one.

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

"Stealing the cosmic shuttle is easy, but how do you break through the imperial border checkpoint?" Aros asked with a frown, ignoring the weird smile on the boy's face.

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

Aros nodded: "That's good... I choose to stay!"

Tang Fang and Byron were stunned for a moment, and Hausen in the upper bunk sat up, feeling bald as if he were jumping eggs, and said, "I'll stay too."

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

"There's no reason, I don't want to." Aros said lightly, after all, he couldn't hold back his craving, and lit the last cigar on fire.

As for Hausen, he frowned as if he was pulling his pants, but it took him a long time to come up with a very irrelevant answer: "I owe you my life."

"Is there any conflict with you going with me because you owe me your life?" Tang Fang couldn't help laughing, how could this Hausen look like the big girl in the romance drama, "you look at my body, you have to be responsible for me" 's tune.

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

Tang Fang glanced at the two of them, and shook his head helplessly, these two followers!

"Yeah, why don't you go together."

Tang Fang shook his head and did not speak. Byron and the others are all alone, they can leave without any burden, but he is different. He also has a younger brother and sister. If he really wants to leave, who will take care of them? Not to mention the imperial punishment system that seems to be sitting in a row.

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

...

In the blink of an eye, the four of them walked out of the room, went to the appointed place to meet with Zhou Ai and Eva, and then separately rushed to the hangar of the scientific research ship.

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

Very easily knocked out 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 rose vertically, and the shuttle was sent to the ejection track.

When the countdown was over, the instantaneous burst of magnetic energy pushed the shuttle machine to shoot away, and the blue tail flame ejected by the propeller lit up most of the apron. Through the observation window of the control room, Tang Fang saw Zhou Ai in the shuttle cabin turning around, waving at him, saying a word, looking at the shape of his mouth, it should be "thank you".

The shuttle machine is like a thunder and lightning, rushing into the deep and vast cosmic space, gradually disappearing.

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

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

The entire bridge was brightly lit, and the system operators were orderly handling the work at hand. In front of the center console, Joanna, dressed in a captain's outfit, was examining the video data sent back by the drone.

Clapham Han walked to Tang Fang with a face, and said angrily, "What's the matter with that shuttle?"

Tang Fang had already prepared his remarks and replied unhurriedly: "Company commander, we will let them free after the resource survey mission is over. It was agreed at the beginning. As free men, Byron and the other three 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 didn't go on, but Clapham knew what was going on. To be honest, he might be able to barely keep Aros and Hausen in his capacity, but Byron, he really doesn't have that ability.

"There is no way for us to do this." Tang Fang sighed: "In fact, most of the people who knew Byron's identity have died. As long as you don't talk about this matter, once the above asks, they will say that he has been shattered under the siege of aliens. Now, it should be easy to hide it."

Clapham was stunned for a moment, looked him up and down several times, and snorted coldly: "Well, you Tang Yan, they all say that you are old and solid. Looking at him today, you have a lot of ghost thoughts."

Tang Fang said with a dry smile: "No way, this is all forced."

"Anyway, it's undeniable that you steal the Horizon-class cosmic shuttle." Clapham said with a gloomy face: "I'll deal with you when I'm done with my current business."

Tang Fang shrugged noncommittally, this is not a terrible sin, let alone the future, who can think of what direction it will develop.

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

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

A look of shock appeared on Joanna's moist face: "It's the resonance of the subspace."

"Liaison officer, is there a liaison request from the military?"

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

"Since there is no response from the military, it means that this uninvited guest who immediately left the virtual space and time is not the imperial fleet that came to support. Who could it be?" Joanna frowned.

Just when she was hesitating whether to activate the defensive stance of the scientific research ship, a brilliance flashed about 100 kilometers away from the scientific research ship. A military ship about 200 meters long and shaped like a shark appeared in the cold and dark endless void. .
