MTL - Marvel Plane Trader-Chapter 270 Contra Summer Star
Chapter 270 Contra Xia Xing
In the boundless starry sky, Marvell stood in front of the bridge console, looking at the files sent from Kerry's military system on the screen, and couldn't help frowning.
"What happened?" At this moment, Josie's voice rang out from inside the bridge.
"It's so late, why didn't you rest?" Marwell asked without raising his head—although there is no sun and moon in the universe, there are still basic timekeeping. Although Kerry's standard timekeeping is different from that of the earth, there is a difference. It's not big, it's quite late at night.
"...It seems that something has happened and they are all talking nonsense. When did we need such a long rest?" Josie joked.
After stepping into the extraordinary, it cannot be said that there is no need to rest at all, but in any case, it is impossible to sleep seven or eight hours a day like normal people. Basically, a little rest every day for a few hours is too much.
"Really, look at me in a daze... But this is a military secret... Well, it doesn't matter to you whether it's secret or not. Remember the Centaur planet that we met on the Bedouin planet was destroyed. Is it?" Marwell asked, patting his forehead.
"Of course, the memory is very deep!" Josie replied.
Does it matter to me whether it is confidential or not? Tsk tsk, don't underestimate it.
However, not only does he have a deep memory, even people have been quietly intercepted by him.
"The centaur and some slaves collected by the Bedouin were supposed to be sent to the front line as war slaves after we left, but on the way, the transport fleet was attacked and the escorting troops were all wiped out. The two transport ships are missing!" Marvell sighed.
"Wow, it's unbelievable. I thought that according to the strength of your Cree Empire, no one would dare to provoke you, but if you were attacked on the way to the front line, could it be your hostile civilization? Is that Xandar (Nova Empire)?" Josie said with a look of surprise, not to mention, the feeling of doing bad things but pretending to be a little white rabbit in front of the sufferer is quite cool.
"...Normally speaking, Xandar is indeed the most suspected, but this time it's really not the case. According to the investigation team, those who hijacked the two cargo ships should be predators—that's similar to pirates on your earth. Existence, to be honest, I don't know where they got such courage, but judging from the scale of the battlefield, the loss of more than a thousand combat spaceships, and many famous predator troops participating in it, is indeed There is no doubt that these guys did it...these people are really out of their minds!" Marvel said with a strange expression on his face.
When did even an existence like a predator dare to pluck a tiger's beard? Their Kerry has weakened to this extent?
"Who knows, maybe someone is driving them behind the scenes, but it's already happened, and it's just a matter of getting the place back, what? This matter also affects you?" Josie asked curiously.
"...It did have an impact, because I was relatively close, so I was temporarily recruited... Sorry Josie, I'm afraid we can't go to Hara!" Marvell smiled apologetically, and said the real reason for her annoyance.
Kree people are also human beings. After taking a long vacation and taking friends to visit their hometown, they were arrested halfway. It’s strange to be in a good mood.
"..." Hearing Mawell's words, Josie couldn't help being taken aback.
Good guy, I just hijacked two cargo ships, but I couldn’t go to Hara justifiably. Is this shooting myself in the foot?
"Oh, that's a pity, but the business is more important. It's just that if you are recruited, what should we do?" Josie couldn't help asking.
"It's a pity, but I'm afraid you can only act with me, and because it's a military operation, you may only be able to stay on my spaceship during this period!" Marvell apologized.
"... have to stay on the spaceship all the time? That's really bad news!" Josie couldn't help frowning when he heard Marwell say this.
Stayed on Marwell's spaceship all the time? That is definitely not possible, although he can contact his subordinates through the hyperspace communication technology in the Star Wars world, the possibility that this technology will be detected by the Kree military is also very low.
But who can guarantee that it will not be discovered?
And Josie is not one to be restrained.
"Sorry, but this is the most appropriate method. After all, I will be in contact with a lot of military fleets. As aliens, I'm afraid you won't show up...I can't just find a planet and put you down, can I?" Mawell was also very helpless.
In the case of non-execution missions, it is not a big problem for Marvell to bring a few alien civilians into and out of the public places of the Kree Empire.
But in the case of military missions, the nature is completely different.
"I think it's okay!" Josie said decisively.
"What?" For a moment, Marwell suspected that he was hallucinating.
"I said, you can find any planet to put us down, and then carry out the mission yourself!" Josie said again.
"...Do you know what you are talking about? Your temporary status is only valid when I am there. If I leave, you will have difficulty moving an inch in the empire, and if you encounter any problems, I can't even do anything. , The risk is too great, no way!" Marwell refused decisively.
Three outsiders from a low-level civilization were thrown on a strange planet without the company of insiders. It was no different from murder.
Especially many planets in the Kerry Empire are not good places—in any country on the earth, the security of another city may drop by the sky, let alone a planet?
If it wasn’t for Marwell himself who belongs to the special operations force and has great power to make temporary decisions in areas other than Hala, she might not have dared to bring Josie and the others to the universe.
"Of course I understand what I'm talking about, Marwell, but please believe that we will protect ourselves." Josie persuaded.
But Marwell's attitude is very firm.
Soon the dispute between the two brought Margot and Carter to it.
"Mawell, we also feel that you should find a place to temporarily accommodate us. We have the ability to take care of ourselves and be with you. It will only interfere with your mission... And I believe that bringing friends during missions should be It's against your military regulations, isn't it?" Carter said.
After figuring out the reason for the dispute between Josie and Marwell, Carter and Margot unsurprisingly sided with Josie.
The truth that Carter said is common to almost every country on the planet.
She doesn't believe that the Cree Empire, which can be said to be a **** civilization, will be more tolerant than those countries on Earth in this regard.
As for Carter's words, Marvell was also speechless.
Indeed, bringing Josie and the others on board the spaceship during the mission violated the military regulations of the Cree Empire, and if found out, they would have to go to a court-martial at the very least.
"...Well, if you insist...but on the next route, the planets in Kerry are actually not suitable for you to stay for a long time, so my idea is to send you here!" Marvell said on the console Said while operating, finally a gray holographic image of the planet appeared in front of the four of them.
As a local snake, Marwell knows very well that the Kree Empire with strict rules is actually not suitable for outsiders like Josie and the others who have no clear identity to stay, so the planet she chose does not belong to Kerry, but It is also located in the Andromeda galaxy, but it is a neutral planet close to Monarch, outside the scope of Kerry and the Nova Empire.
This planet is called Contraxia.
An extremely cold, yet very hot planet.
What is cold is the climate of this planet. The temperature of most of the earth is around minus ten degrees all year round, and it is basically covered by ice and snow. Although it is not without any vitality, it is obviously not a livable place.
However, because it is close to the three major civilizations of Nova, Kerry, and Monarch, but not in the battle zone between Nova and Kerry, it was favored by some large-scale business groups in the universe and built it into the largest civilization in its star field. A gold-selling cave.
Basically, the enjoyment and service you can imagine in the universe can almost be found on this planet.
The premise is that you have enough money.
To put it bluntly, it is a super entertainment planet similar to Las Vegas on Earth.
The security of such a planet cannot be said to be very good, but basically as long as you have money, the safety factor is quite high. After all, if there is no certain security guarantee, it is impossible to become a place where guests from the surrounding star regions flock to have fun. up.
The most important thing is that this planet doesn't care about the identity of tourists—so this place has become the favorite place for predators, and most of the money robbed by predators is basically spent on this planet.
And this planet also appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Yondu and Star Eagle Stark have led their men here before... and what is interesting is that the biggest feature on this planet is women. Transformation of people.
I have to say that the planet Marwell chose fell right into Josie's arms.
It's not that Josie is playing tricks, even if he really thinks about it, it's not convenient for him to do anything with his wife by his side.
What he really cares about is that the area where the Contraxia star is located is not far from the Morag star where the power gem is located.
And it is also convenient for him to get in touch with Nova and Sovereign, two well-known civilizations in the known universe.
This is a treasure.
"That's the decision, but I have to make one thing clear to you. The consumption level on this planet is extremely high. The living expenses I can provide you with my ability are only enough for you to spend three years on it at a relatively low level. Month—you have to take it easy when the time comes.” Although as a member of the Kerry Interstellar Special Forces, Marvell’s salary and subsidies are extremely high, but that is only compared to ordinary people, such as Contraxia. The gold-selling cave is still beyond her tolerance, not to mention that Josie and the others are still three of them.
For Josie and the others to spend three months on this planet, she will almost have to use up her savings.
Even if Josie and the others still lived according to the standards they lived on Earth, they might not be able to last three days on Contraxia, let alone three months.
Fortunately, as a Kree soldier, her regular supplies don’t cost money.
"...You can rest assured that we are not as delicate as you imagined, and we have all lived a hard life, right Carter? And the standard you have provided us is not low." Josie smiled and comforted .
Carter nodded again and again. During the war before meeting Josie, as an agent, she had suffered a lot.
And Josie's experience, she also knows.
Before meeting Margot, he was a proper poor boy.
The only one who has lived well since she was a child is Margot, but Carter is also very clear that this is not a squeamish person.
"That's fine!" Marwell said with a slight sigh of relief.
Since she had made a decision, she also immediately steered the spaceship to turn around and start heading towards Contra Xia.
Although she was forcibly recruited, she still had plenty of time for reporting. Sending Josie and the others to Contra Xia Xing would not delay her reporting.
After about a week of flying, Josie and his party also arrived at Contraxia very smoothly.
During this journey, Josie's subordinates once again quietly added a new force.
This new force is the centaurs on the two cargo ships hijacked by Vereesa's ranger fleet.
After rescuing Kerry's war slaves, according to Josie's instructions, Vereesa also contacted the centaurs on the spaceship.
Without much hesitation, these centaurs who had lost their home planet and were homeless, and who were full of hatred for the Kree and Bedunes, chose to surrender before the olive branch offered by Vereesa.
Of course, it is only limited to centaurs.
Just like the most famous centaur in the Marvel Universe, Yondu Udon Tower.
Centaurs are all blue and barking, with very obvious characteristics, so they are easy to distinguish.
Moreover, most of these centaurs know each other and have families and mouths, so they are easier to control.
However, what to do with the rest of the war slaves, who generally came from other civilizations and mixed with fish and dragons, made Josie a little difficult.
All killed? A bit of a waste.
Keep it? These people are not as easy to control as those centaurs.
And not all war slaves are like Centaur, who were reduced to slaves after the destruction of civilization, or they may themselves be vicious criminals.
Of course there will be many good people.
So these people must be handled with caution.
It's a pity that he is not in the Ranger Fleet, otherwise the most trouble-free way is to send him to other worlds for mining.
