Chapter 106 Hijacking

Carter finally agreed to take them to meet Obi-Wan Kenobi. m

On the way to meet Kenobi, Shen Yi and the others noticed that the architectural layout of Ankheed Town was quite different.

Most of these buildings are exactly the same, it is difficult to tell apart, and the roads have no signposts.

The roads that were supposed to extend in all directions often show signs of disconnection, there are almost no intersections, and the road conditions themselves are intricate. If you are not careful, you will end up on a dead end.

Sometimes they even have to go through some "residential houses" to get to the opposite road.

"The layout here is a bit strange." Zhou Yiyu said in a low voice.

Hua Tianrui immediately said: "It is used for street fighting, and it is specially used to bully those who are not familiar with the terrain. There are many hidden firepower points on those buildings, which can be secretly deployed. The surface of the building is made of sand, but there are also some It’s a sand camouflage, but the inside is actually an alloy structure.”

When it comes to camouflage, Hua Tianrui is a master in this area, and this level of camouflage is too childish for him. However, if it is used to deal with ordinary people, its confusing effect is quite good.

Shen Yi also interjected: "Carter himself is deliberately leading us around, have you seen the road on the left? We have already passed that road twice."

Hua Tianrui smiled and said, "It's a pity he never lied to you."

"Even if he blindfolds me, I can write it down for him." Shen Yi replied with curled lips.

For him, this detour just made him more familiar with the layout of the town. In fact, his mind was automatically generating the terrain along the way.

After removing the overlapping parts and finding out the differences in the details of those seemingly similar buildings, a complete and clear map of the town is gradually formed.

"Remember to remind me, never use a maze-like phantom array to deal with you in the future." Hua Tianrui said suddenly.

"I will." Shen Yi replied very seriously, and everyone chuckled together.

Little Luke, who had been with them all the time, suddenly said: "Please don't blame Uncle Carter. Caution is the guarantee of our survival in this world. Sand bandits and prisoners often come to attack us. They have heavy firepower, and the walls cannot stop them, so we Defenses had to be deployed in this way."

Shen Yi was a little surprised: "Can you understand what we are saying?"

Luke shook his head: "No,

But I can feel what you guys are saying. The force guides me, it helps me break through the maze! "Speaking of the last sentence, Luke bowed his head reverently.

Hua Tianrui looked at Zhou Yiyu: "His force is much better than yours."

Zhou Yiyu shrugged as if he hadn't heard.

Shen Yi continued to ask: "This place is often attacked by sand robbers and prisoners?"

"Yes." Luke replied, the little guy's eyes were bright and his tone was firm: "They always come to harass us, grab food, grab money, grab everything they can, they are the worst people in the world!"

"About how often do they come?"

"It's hard to say, sometimes three to five days, sometimes a month, it depends on their mood."

"And how do those sandmen get along with the prisoners?"

"They hit harder!"

As he talked with little Luke, Shen Yi gradually understood that the sand bandits composed of local aboriginal sandmen and the prisoners mainly exiled prisoners were not in harmony, and had almost developed to the point of sworn enemies.

To them, if the native humans were the prey, then the sand bandits or prisoners were the hunters.

Hunters only war with hunters!

In order to compete for territory, the two sides have not fought once or twice.

In terms of strength, the Prisoner Force not only has a vicious temperament, but also has its own strengths as an interstellar-level wanted element. Coupled with the continuous airlifting, the number of people is increasing, and it is already in an overwhelming advantage. But these prisoners are easily disobedient because of their domineering nature, so they are divided into multiple organizations to fight each other.

But the Sand Pirates were much more united, coupled with their adaptation to the local terrain and climate, they actually resisted the prisoners' attacks again and again.

Small towns like Ankheed are actually living in the cracks between the two forces. Their maze layout is not for street fighting and destroying enemies, but for delaying and hiding themselves.

"Then what about the emperor? They don't care about it?" Wei Chibai asked.

Carter in front said without looking back: "They'd better kill the world here."

Wei Chibai understood.

For the emperor, no matter the prisoners or the sand bandits, they are troublesome guys just like the separatists. Even if they are all dead, they will not suffer any losses. As for the local people - who cares about them?

As for now, the Imperial Fleet itself is finished, and no one cares about them.

"In the past few days, there has been no movement from the Sand Pirates, but the Minsk Brotherhood has been very active. They seem to have some big action, and they are constantly spreading their hands. The Berka who was taught by you before , is one of the operatives they sent out."

"I thought it was all those people." Shen Yi skillfully pretended to be confused.

Sure enough, Carter curled his lips: "They? A group of hooligans begging for food around the Minsk Brotherhood. The Prisoner Organization is a loose federal organization composed of five major forces. They call themselves the Freedom Alliance. The slogan Long live freedom, of course, and their freedom is freedom to kill, freedom to rob, freedom to lawlessness."

Carter continued: "The Minsk Brotherhood is one of the five major forces, and under them, there are also their own distribution of forces. Every prisoner has the right to recruit his own manpower. The more he recruits, the higher his status will be. Berka is the lowest member of the Brotherhood, and he is surrounded by guys who are not even qualified to get started. Don't underestimate these prisoners, they are supernatural and omnipotent. They bought the imperial fleet and bought a large number of them from the outside world. Weapons. Although the Imperial Fleet dare not sell them strategic weapons such as battleships, they have all the heavy firepower on the ground. When they are armed, they are an army. Although they look a bit miscellaneous, it does not mean that they are easy to deal with. "

"What action do you say they are planning recently? Do you know what action it is?"

"Not very clear, but I can guess some." Carter shook his head: "There are a lot of people from the Minsk Brotherhood who have come to town recently, and I noticed that they seem to be very interested in the equipment on the battleship... Although they pretended not to be interested look."

"Battleship? You mean...they want to build a battleship?"

"Yes, that is one of the few strategic-level armaments in the remaining fleet of the Empire that is firmly forbidden to enter Tatooine. Longger Phillips, the president of the Minsk Brotherhood, once said that he would get a battleship at all costs. In order to destroy all those who dare to oppose him. Although he swore to the imperial army that the battleship would never be used to deal with the imperial army, the remaining fleet of the empire still did not dare to open this hole. Of course, you know that those prisoners are extremely daring, There's nothing they're afraid to do, so maybe that bastard Phillips wants to get one of his own."

"Are they planning to build a battleship out of the garbage in the town?" Ahsoka couldn't believe his ears.

"I also find it unbelievable, but they are already taking action for this... They have collected a lot of discarded shipboard artillery, energy cannons, etc. Although most of them are incomplete, they can still be used as long as they are repaired." Carter replied.

They officially entered the underground of the building.

"Is it just shipboard firepower? No engines or anything else?" Shen Yi asked.

"No, or not many." Carter shook his head.

"Then unless they plan otherwise, they already have a ship."

"It's impossible. Phillips is by no means a man who waits. He is impatient and violent. If he has it, he will definitely use it."

"That may be what will be."

"Who knows." Carter shrugged.

While speaking, they entered a round castle made of white stones.

Carter pushed open the door of the round castle.

———————————

the next day.

Michelle leaned against the kitchen door with her hands folded over her chest.

Shirley was slicing potatoes, veal, and spaceflies furiously.

She was extremely ruthless, as if she had a grudge against those vegetables.

Michelle looked funny, thought for a while and said, "Thanks to your care yesterday, I am much better today."

"You're welcome, that's my duty, I won't save you. Besides, I'm also worried about what will happen if you plant a time bomb on board." Shirley replied coldly, still chopping vegetables vigorously.

Michelle looked at her without speaking, and Shirley felt as if a thousand bugs were crawling on her body. She finally couldn't help asking: "What kind of disease is that? I've never seen it before."

"...I can't tell. I've never had it before. Maybe it's because I'm not very adaptable to the space environment. So anyway, thank you."

Shirley remained silent.

Michelle could only say: "I know someone must have persuaded you to kill me when I was unconscious, or simply read my memory to find those bombs."

"I refused. I hope you don't mind this matter, they are also for my own good." Shirley didn't look up.

"...I don't mind, everyone has their own position. By the way, the Nancy I called yesterday...she is my first love." Michelle explained with her head down, like a child who has made a mistake.

Is it first love?

Michelle didn't know.

He only knew that it was a woman he loved once, in another capacity.

But none of that matters.

At least for cities.

This kind of emotion doesn't affect any events, doesn't trigger any quests, it's just a kind of fluctuation, just like ripples in water... Existence is meaningless.

For Shirley, however, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Her eyes turned red, and she just said, "Oh, yes."

"She's dead," Michelle said with a long breath.

With a tremor in her heart, Shirley yelled "Oh".

She cut her finger.

Michelle hurriedly bandaged her, but saw the look of joy in Shirley's eyes.

"You..." Michelle stared blankly at her holding the medicine bag.

Shirley looked up and replied seriously: "Should I say: I am very sorry about this?"

Michelle laughed.

This smile seemed to untie a knot in the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

He couldn't help but said, "seeing you, I forgot about her."

At that moment, Shirley was drunk.

Gently holding Shirley's hand, Michelle said softly: "The ban has been lifted. From now on, you don't have to cook anymore. All the crew members can return to normal life."

Xue Li was taken aback, her face was happy at first, then suddenly changed, she said viciously: "Am I rare?" Then she turned her head and left. Only Michelle was left in a daze.

This bastard really doesn't understand a little bit of fun, this is a rare two-person world.

"What a stupid pig." Shirley said to herself.

Having said that, Shirley connected with Uncle Ma immediately: "Uncle Ma, from today onwards, all crew members can go back to sleep in the rest cabin. Oh, and they can also take care of their own meals. But Jinna... this guy Humph, she beat him so hard, I'm really mad." Shirley didn't realize that her resentment towards Jin Na had even surpassed that of Michelle.

Uncle Ma was inexplicable, and it took him a long time to react. "That's good news, miss. But I have bad news for you."

"how?"

"There is a problem with our external communication. It has been a full ten minutes now, and we have not been able to send any message to the outside world."

"Could it be that there is a huge magnetic field nearby that interferes with our transmission of information?"

"Miss, we take this route three times a year, and nothing like this has ever happened before."

"Are you sure we don't have any equipment failure?"

"No, miss, I'm not sure, because it's still under investigation."

Shirley felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

These days, he changed his career to be a chef, and almost all the flying affairs were handed over to Marble. Only when the nebula storm passed, she and Michelle jointly took action. Hearing this news suddenly today, she couldn't get used to it for a while. After hesitating for a while, he quickly changed his mind, and issued an order in the tone of an official captain: "Order all the staff to enter the second level of security, strengthen the defense of the prisoner hall, and try our best to find out the cause of the failure... I will go to the control room go."

Just as Ma Bo said yes, there was a sudden scream.

Several magnetic squeals made Shirley's heart skip a beat, and she shouted: "Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma."

Then I heard Uncle Ma shouting in panic: "The prisoner has escaped from prison!!!"

Shocked, Shirley looked back in astonishment.

Michelle was standing behind her with a serious face.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, she said, "We're in big trouble."
