Chapter 617 Anxiety

Gottel originally wanted to stay in Godely for a few more days to get in touch with Rhodiola.

But the other party looked like he refused to be thousands of miles away. He felt that there was no point in staying any longer, and it might be counterproductive.

It happened that the cargo starship was also loaded with cargo, so it returned a day later.

However, he finalized other matters, the biggest of which, of course, was a 50 million thank you fee.

For 50 million miles, Qu Jianlei received 30 million in banknotes, and the remaining 20 million were exchanged for energy blocks.

Just make up for the other supplies one by one. As for the cost of recovering from the rhodiola, it is all included in the 50 million li.

The last thing is to make the holographic image of the passport. Qu Jianlei specially drove the 8384 ship out of the shipyard.

Gottel couldn't help complaining, and it was kind of close, "I said, Your Excellency, your taste... is really unique."

Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, sighed faintly, "Oh, I can't help it, I'm not the only one in the family, and there are people with bad tastes."

He said this to lay the groundwork for the "Supreme Ice Attribute", which may never be used, but what if it is needed?

People without thought, he must worry about.

"Other supreme?" Gottel nodded thoughtfully, the news did not surprise him.

The other supreme is not on this merchant ship, so it can be seen that there is definitely more than one merchant ship in this organization.

But I just don't know if the crews on those merchant ships are also so elite...

After Gottel left, Qu Jianlei also started to prepare to leave. He had been here for more than three months, and it was time to get some air.

But the most fundamental reason is that one of his attack ships has been damaged - an attack type.

The damage is not serious and does not affect the battle, but repairs are also imperative, and a small problem will become a big problem if it is not cured.

Wanmi Mining's assessment of the damage is that it will cost one million yuan, but Wanmi must arrange for local repairs.

Anyway, with the conditions of Godelli's planet, it is impossible to do detailed repairs.

Gottel made a special decision before leaving, giving the other party two million and letting them repair it by themselves.

For the mine, this operation is not too bad, isn't it money to transport the starship back and forth?

But Qu Jianlei also made money. He returned to his lair to repair it, spending at most raw materials and energy blocks.

Before leaving, he had to put away the spirit gathering array first, and then clean up the strange energy in the suite.

Ordinarily, with the strength he showed, it was impossible for the mine to secretly send people in to investigate after he left.

However, there is no big mistake in being careful. After all, people's hearts are separated by belly, so who can tell?

So he left two days late, and finally left the assault ship as a housekeeper.

Immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened. Another mine heard that he was leaving for a short time and sent someone to discuss escort matters.

Li Ang saw "White Chiyu" again, and asked him if he planned to accept the escort mission.

The target of this mine is a transit star, not far from Skyblade Star, which is a transit planet for minerals in the asteroid belt.

This is a serious planet, not a miscellaneous star, with a diameter of more than 8,000 kilometers, not much smaller than the blue star.

Most of the planet is sea, and there are dots of islands, enough for heroes from all walks of life to stay.

What's interesting is that the Tianren Star government also knows that the asteroid belt is in chaos, so they don't check it strictly.

There is no way, as an important transit point, maintaining the smooth flow of logistics is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

There is a high probability that Qu Jianlei's merchant ship will not be inspected when it goes there.

Even if it was inspected, the mining company named Simeone also said that they took care of customs clearance.

Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled, "They also have armed merchant ships, is the situation so serious now?"

Li Ang laughed a little unfathomably, "The situation is indeed a little tense, and their armed merchant ships have to protect the mine..."

"The last time they didn't support us well, they must be a little nervous, save some strength to protect the lair."

Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard the words. In the previous battle, the rescue of the two mines was indeed ineffective.

Both of them sent a few attack ships. It cannot be said that there was no movement at all, but neither sent a main battle merchant ship.

The reason is very simple, Wanmi Mining was attacked, and it was the duty of the neighbors to show their support.

As for the combined strength of the three families, they can resist foreign aggression...well, this point of view is theoretically valid.

But in fact, it is impossible-you are beaten away by foreign enemies, and I take advantage of the trend to embezzle your minerals, this is the norm.

The world of capital is really so disgusting.

Qu Jianlei couldn't figure it out, "This mine kicked us out when we came here, and there is no difference between friends and foes. Do you really think you have a big face?"

Li Ang spread his hands, and replied helplessly, "It's all business, they paid for it."

Then he smiled wryly again, "It is precisely because there is no distinction between friends and enemies, they hired you as an escort, and they also want to clear their suspicions."

There is no problem with the logic of this statement—I even asked you to escort me. I really did not do what happened last time.

But Qu Jianlei didn't agree, he didn't see the thief shouting "Catch the thief"?

So he said simply, "Maybe there are still people guarding outside. We don't want to be stabbed by friendly troops at a critical moment."

"It's fine if you don't want to," Li Ang nodded, and it was obvious that he didn't like Simeone's sudden appearance.

But there's still something to be said, "That means, you may be rejecting their kindness."

"I can ride a horse," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but swear.

He almost wanted to say - I just refused, so what?

But when the words came to his lips, he held back, "We don't feel safe, so they can leave as they want."

This is what happened in the first place, if he killed the opponent's Supreme, is it possible that the opponent will not retaliate?

Li Ang hesitated to speak, "Actually, according to our reasoning... they may also be victims, and the probability is extremely high."

"That has something to do with me," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, turned and left.

More than an hour later, the dilapidated merchant ship soared into the air and rushed into the atmosphere.

Not long after, another heavy-duty merchant ship took off and sent a friendly signal to 8384 in the distance.

Qu Jianlei didn't use the signal, and called directly through the public channel, "This is 8384, don't follow, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"

He didn't even bother to repeat it, and the attitude was clear: I don't care if you hear me well, I've said it anyway.

The heavy-laden merchant ship obviously understood what he meant, and adjusted its direction slightly, and the two ships finally drifted away.

Qu Jianlei went to the abandoned mine planet first, and he planned to repair the attack ship first.

This time, he was unlucky. He encountered five waves of merchant ships along the way, and avoided them from the beginning to the end. It took him eight days to arrive.

The abandoned mine planet was still so lonely and desolate, Qu Jianlei checked the concealment array, it seemed that no one had moved it.

However, persisting for such a long time consumed more than 20,000 energy blocks. The key is that the materials are also a bit aging.

This is impossible, long-term operation has a great impact on the material.

Moreover, there are various radiations or storms in the universe from time to time, which will also accelerate the aging of materials.

"You have to protect the lair," Qu Jianlei muttered softly.

The merchant ship drove into the large mine. He turned on the lights, looked at the familiar environment, and felt at home for a while.

The next moment, he shook his head, and actually regarded this place as his home. How much do I like to live alone?

After all, there are still too few environments that can bring him peace.

Next, he arranged for Xiaohu to repair the attack ship, and he was not in a hurry to set up the spirit gathering array, but went out to investigate first.

Qu Jianlei walked out of the mine, released his perception, and examined the entire ore body carefully.

In a minute, his expression changed slightly, "Is this... or is someone here?"

He flew up into the air, drew an arc in the air, and arrived more than a hundred kilometers away in a short while.

In about a thousand square meters, there are some household garbage scattered, and there are obvious traces of starship crushing.

The starship can go straight into the sky, but it can also walk on the ground, which will save energy blocks.

On the stars, the starship's crushing marks sometimes last for a long time, but Qu Jianlei is sure that this is definitely new.

Looking at this scene, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

Ever since he met Rhine and his party in space, he realized that this abandoned ore body would not be as quiet as he imagined.

Although there are no people and no living facilities, it is still a good place for interstellar wanderers to avoid risks.

However, even though he was aware of this, he still felt very complicated when he found out that someone had been there.

So, my base camp... isn't that safe either?

Faced with this reality, his mood was a little irritable and irritable.

He tried to collect the other party's breath, but unfortunately, the breath had already dissipated, and he didn't find any valuable clues.

In fact, even if he collects clues, so what, can he still chase after him and kill him? This is the land of no man!

He slowly flew towards the mine, releasing his perception again...

In short, coming back this time gave him new security demands and changed his planned itinerary.

It is impossible to discard this place, but it can't be used as private land, let alone hide most of your wealth here.

It is necessary for him to find more settlements as soon as possible.

Three days later, the big-headed butterfly repaired the attack ship.

Qu Jianlei left a robot and a pioneer terminal, and let Xiaohu keep a clone in it.

With this avatar control, the robot can perform simple maintenance on the base camp, and activate the defensive formation and concealment formation according to the situation.

When the formation material is too old to be used, it can also be replaced in time.

In the past, Qu Jianlei didn't arrange this way because if he was discovered, Xiaohu's avatar would self-destruct.

For the big-headed butterfly, this kind of loss is not very big, but it is a bit cruel after all.

He doesn't want to think of it as pure artificial intelligence.

But this time Xiaohu said, "It doesn't matter, it's not easy for us to save some property."

After the arrangements were made, Qu Jianlei drove 8384 and came to Lanyun Market again.

However, the treatment was different this time, and the ground responded before he even sent his request to land.

"Welcome Merchant Ship 8384, you can choose any place to land."
