The heavy armored transport ship YS001, which belongs to the space immigration ship of Hope, soon received the captain's order and attacked from the airport on the abdomen of the spacecraft. Not far from the opponent's orbit measured by Hope, it completed slowing and steering within a certain safe distance, and was on standby.
They need to wait here for the strange lifeboat that will pass by for a while, and then wait for the other party to appear and gradually get closer, and then directly cut into the other party's orbit and accelerate to the same speed as the other party.
Finally, the telescopic arm of the heavy armored transport ship's abdominal warehouse was used to capture the other party, and then it was taken back into the cargo hold of the transport ship for further inspection. Only after confirming that the other party was not harmful, their transport ship would be agreed to return to the Hope space colonial ship.
Although YS001 is just an ordinary armored transport ship, its size is almost as big as a football field and as high as four or five floors. It also has a huge freight warehouse in its abdominal warehouse, which can even carry two interstellar heavy arc tanks or stuff a whole company of marines.
So, this time, it should be completely without any problem when sent out to capture an untouched lifeboat that has lost power, whether theoretically or technically.
Anyway, the current Hope can dispatch and perform such a mission, except for two armored transport ships, isn't it?
"Hey! Captain Garen? My transport ship No. 001 is ready. There are three minutes left. The opponent is about to enter the best capture distance. I will speed up and cut into the orbit later. Are you sure you are ready?"
After turning the transport ship and preparing to cut into the opponent's track at any time, Captain Planck, the bearded operator of the transport ship YS001, connected the communication channel and shouted loudly at Garen, the Marine Captain of the Cobra Squad, who was staying in the cargo warehouse under the transport ship.
Captain Planck was a little annoyed. He was not worried about whether he could capture the mysterious lifeboat, because he was an old driver with 20 or 30 years of experience in smuggling. Small things like this are not a problem for him!
What he was even more worried about was: Can Captain Garen and his Cobra Marines protect themselves and the treasure transport ship they assigned to?
After all, this time, except for him and two maintenance personnel, his transport ship was only ten of their Cobra Team Marines.
The worst thing is that although Garen's Marine Squad is so famous, it's also the Cobra Squad! It sounds like a special force or something, but in fact, Captain Planck knew very well that they were just a group of new recruits at all!
If there are any dangerous and terrifying alien creatures in the lifeboat he captured at that time, I guess all the people on their ship will be ruined?
In any case, Captain Planck's opinion, the ten bastards below are absolutely unreliable!
"Cobra received it! Don't worry, Captain, our Cobra is one of the most elite and powerful Marines on the Hope, and we are the strongest!"
In the cargo warehouse below the transport ship's control table, ten Cobra squad crew members in power armored combat uniforms were nervously checking their equipment, weapons and ammunition.
Among them, a Marine soldier with the number 01 painted in front of the armored combat uniform quickly replied to Captain Planck of the transport ship.
This Marine with number 01 is Garen, the captain of this Cobra Squad, and is also one of the captains of the most elite Marine on the Hope...!
"Well, you can think so: I don't actually know that there are only twenty of you, the Marines of our Hope! And the other Viper Marine Squad, hasn't seen much worse than you?"
Captain Planck, the bearded captain, muttered a few words as if he was comforting himself, and then shook his head.
After thinking about it, he decided to take out a metal bottle with him, raised his head and took two big sips. He needed these refreshing things to enhance his courage!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the courage to fight with these unreliable bastards in the interstellar universe with aliens of unknown origin?
"That? I said, Captain Planck, can you stop drinking while driving the spacecraft? Later...if you tremble your hands and hit the lifeboat directly, then we all have to be done with you!"
Garen in the power combat uniform, when he saw Captain Planck in the monitor taking out a bottle of liquor and blowing several big mouthfuls at the bottle, he was so scared that he shivered and hurriedly advised.
You know, sailing in the interstellar universe is very dangerous!
Capturing a lifeboat flying at high speed along its own scheduled track is even more dangerous!
Once Captain Planck shook his hands or entered a wrong data, Garen could even imagine that the strange lifeboat would definitely hit the armored transport ship they were on like a huge caliber plane running at super high speed?
By then...one of them, one of them will count on the other, and no one will ever want to survive!
You should know that the shell speed of ordinary gunpowder cannons is only about 2,000 meters per second, while the inferior electromagnetic cannon is only Mach 10.
And they hope that the heavy armored arc tanks on the number that are still in the data state, the 120mm shock plasma cannon in siege mode, and the shells are almost as fast as the electromagnetic cannons with two or three times the speed of the barreling outflow?
But what about the current situation?
The speed of a lifeboat sailing at high speed in the universe is definitely calculated at a speed of several kilometers per second. It is equivalent to a super-large shell. If it is accidentally hit by it, let alone their small transport ship, even a huge immigration spacecraft like Hope, once it is hit by the vital point, it will probably be seriously injured?
"You newcomers know nothing! When I was driving a smuggling boat, I didn't start working after drinking one or two bottles of vodka? I didn't see those official anti-smuggling boats catching up with me!"
After taking another big sip of wine, Planck carefully put away the metal wine bottle.
"Actually, I can tell you: I can only drive the spaceship without shaking my hands and breathing without breathing after I drink two sips. The more I drink, the more my hands and feet will be more flexible! At that time, I can drive whatever I want, and ensure that there will be no mistakes!"
After thinking about it, Captain Planck took out another small wine bottle, gave a sip of vodka inside, then shook his hand and threw away the empty metal wine bottle, and then satisfied the drip of wine stained on his beard.
He felt that the warships of the Earth United UPL were all very good in other places, but one of them was not very good!
In Planck's view, this is just an ordinary military armored transport ship. They even have to install a microgravity system? This is too wasteful and they don't take taxpayers' money seriously!
Although, he has always been smuggling and never paid taxes.
But when he drove the smuggling ship, the ragged spacecraft had no gravity system at all. Every time he drank, there were always a lot of large and small drops of wine floating in the air. When he was greedy, he just needed to open his mouth and suck it a few times to taste the wine. That kind of taste was so sour!
"Okay! Babies, you must seize it and sit firmly. Our goal this time has finally arrived!"
Just after he threw away the wine bottle for a while, Captain Planck saw an indicator light on the control table begin to flash rapidly.
When he looked at the data of the high-end military interface that he was not very familiar with, he knew that their mission target: the lifeboat, had finally appeared.
So he suddenly hit the joystick, and at the moment when a lifeboat that was almost impossible to see at the naked eye flew over at high speed, he suddenly cut into its parallel track and began to slowly adjust the spacecraft's flight posture, so that the door of the armored transport ship's cabin could just face the lifeboat with a strange shape and smooth lines.
"Haha! Little alien baby, come to Uncle Planck's hands obediently, it's considered you've caught!"
Planck slowly increased the output of the transport spacecraft engine and gradually caught up with the unknown lifeboat in front that had already lost power and is now flying only on inertia.
"Hey? boys, put on the combat uniform and close the cover, right? I need to lower the air pressure and prepare to open the hatch door for operation!"
After the armored transport ship belonging to the Hope slowly clings to the other side of the lifeboat and is in a state of synchronous flight.
Captain Planck just reminded him a little in the communication, and without waiting for the Marines to respond, he started operating directly in the cabin and evacuated most of the air in the cabin behind him.
After lowering the air pressure in the cabin and falling to a certain threshold, he nodded and pressed a button. Then, the door of the cargo warehouse on the belly of the armored transport ship began to slowly open, and two sets of robotic arms extended out of the cabin.
"Okay... little baby! I've caught you!"
When Captain Planck saw two sets of robotic arms steadily grasping the front and tail of the cylindrical lifeboat, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed a few buttons, easily pulling back the beautiful lifeboat.
Now, his work has been completed perfectly and he has done a pretty job! The rest is nothing to do with him.
"My mission has been completed. Now, Marines, the next thing is your work! I advise you to wear a safety telescopic belt, because... Once you find that there is danger, I will open the hatch and throw you all out of the universe!"
Captain Planck said in the communicator without any hesitation while reinjecting air into the cabin.
He can really do this!
Otherwise, what do you think he has injected 1.5 standard earth's atmospheric pressure into the cabin now exceeding the standard?
That's actually just to prevent accidents!
Later, once Planck finds out that there is any uncontrollable danger, he will definitely open the hatch door directly. At that time, the strong high-pressure air pours out will definitely suck out all the movable objects in the cabin!
This old bastard!
Garen stared at Captain Planck in his armor panel with dissatisfaction before turning his head and waved to the Marines behind him.
"Everyone has it, please pay attention! Load the weapon, be careful!"
Captain Garen asked all the team members to stand around the lifeboat door placed in the cabin before he carefully walked to the side of the door that looked like it was.
There are two buttons... One of them should be the door opening button, right?
After standing near the hatch door for a while, he saw that the other party didn't seem to have any glass windows or other things, he calmed down and prepared to go forward and press the two buttons beside the door to see if he could directly open the hatch door of the lifesaving cabin?
Bang!!
When Galen was about to step forward and press the button that looked like it was opening the hatch, suddenly, there was a dull gunshot behind him.
A supersonic nail bullet stabbed hard on the back of Captain Garen's shoulder, and then the huge kinetic energy made him stagger and almost fell head-on to the metal deck of the spacecraft.
At the same time, in the holographic combat panel in his helmet, a red alarm appeared on the rear shoulder of the armor. This situation shows that its armor has been damaged!
Fortunately, the spike electromagnetic bullet did not directly penetrate the tough armor, nor was it hit the weak part of the head, otherwise... his life would be difficult to save at this moment?
“…”
“…”
"puff……"
Whether it was other Marines, or Captain Planck, who was paying attention to the landing team's dynamics in the cab of the spacecraft, they all looked at Captain Garen who was shot with a shot, and... the one who just shot him in the back?
Captain Planck was originally enjoying his second bottle of wine, but after that scene appeared, he even squirted out the big mouthful of wine he had just drunk.
"What do you... want to do?"
Garen retracted his hand that was about to press the life capsule door button, and then he looked at this with a dark face and a dissatisfied look. He had just hit himself behind his back once with a black gun.
If Galen remembers correctly, he seems to have no personal grudge with this bastard? What reason does he have to shoot himself in black? When did he provoke this bastard?
"Team... Team, Captain, I, I really didn't do it on purpose! I was nervous just now and accidentally pressed the trigger..."
The soldier of the Cobra Squad No. 06 quickly said with a sad face and stammeringly.
Just now, he really didn't mean it! That's because when he saw the captain's hand being about to press the button of the lifesaving pod, he thought some aliens would suddenly hit the monster inside? So, when he was nervous, his fingers trembled, and the bullet was fired by him...
He swears, he really didn't mean it just now, definitely not!
"Team, captain! You must forgive me... I didn't mean it just now, I dare to swear to God!"
After seeing the captain's gloomy and ugly face, the soldier with No. 06 on his chest was so scared that he started to sway.
It’s really not his fault. He is just a recruit, he has never been on a real battlefield, and has only been training for two weeks. He barely knows all the weapons and equipment and knows how to use them.
He was just thinking in his heart, what kind of creature would come out later? That was why he shot Captain Garen in a casual manner, but fortunately he didn't hit any key points.
"Oh... I understand, don't worry, I will never blame you!"
Garen sighed heavily, and he decided not to be angry with such a new recruit.
So, after patting the other person's shoulder hard, he gently took the 8mm C-15 model spindle electromagnetic rifle from the other person's hand.
"So, I decided now: let you open that hatch door!"
After saying that, Garen threw away the other party's rifle and kicked the other party hard to the hatch of the lifeboat.
Then, he lifted his C-15 spike electromagnetic gun and pointed the muzzle at the bastard who suddenly shot him black gun just now!
"Team... Team, Captain... You, don't scare me!"
Seeing Captain Garen's move, the No. 06 was so scared that his legs were almost weak.
He was even afraid when he saw Captain Garen preparing to open the door. Now, how dare he open the hatch by himself? Who knows, what terrible things are inside this thing?
At that time, the first one who will die is probably the one who will open the door?!
"Stop talking nonsense, open the door quickly! Otherwise..."
With a click, Captain Garen pulled the safety of his C-15 spike electromagnetic rifle.
Then, he raised his gun and pointed it at No. 06's head. His meaning was obvious. Either go open the cabin door honestly, or he was about to shoot now!
Click! Click!
After seeing the captain's behavior, the other team members also opened their weapons and insurance. As the sound of weapons opening the safety sounded, they all raised their electromagnetic guns and aimed at the direction of the lifesaving compartment door.
"No, don't...I, I'll drive it right away! I'll drive it now!"
Maybe I was really shocked by the captain's murderous aura, maybe I was atonement for the mistake I made just now.
So, the Marine No. 06 quickly trotted two steps and ran to the front of the cabin door. After being stunned, he suddenly pressed the button and rushed to the other side of the spacecraft cabin, fearing that a ferocious and terrifying alien creature would suddenly rush out from inside?
Sizzling...
As the button was pressed, a burst of air spurted out from it, making a sizzling slight sound.
Then, the hatch door of the unknown lifeboat finally began to slowly open.
This made Garen and the other eight Marine soldiers under him tighten the weapons they held in their hands, and they couldn't help but feel sweaty.
They are already beginning to imagine what kind of creature they would be inside? Three heads? Eight legs? Or alien octopus monster?
Anyway, based on the strange text on this lifeboat and the shape of this lifeboat, they believe that this should not be an alien civilization known to humans or any alien civilization?
"God...how is this possible?"
When Galen saw the situation inside clearly, even though he had no faith under the oppression of UPL, he still exclaimed, then slowly put down the weapon in his hand and began to walk towards the lifesaving pole.
When the other team members saw clearly the situation in the lifesaving pole, they, like their Captain Garen, removed their guards, stood up straight, and went forward together and surrounded them.
When they approached the door of the lifesaving capsule and looked at the scene inside in a daze, they began to look at each other and became looking at each other in a moment.
...
(Hey! Miss Anne, it's time for you to get up now! Your life capsule has been captured by a group of interstellar militants. Now, they are watching outside... - Tibers sighed and began to urge his little ancestors to get up.
After wandering in the interstellar universe for more than ten days, it was lucky to be rescued by a group of humans? Tsk! Tibers thinks that this universe is really small!)
"Stop making trouble... Let me sleep for a while..."
Anne held her bear and turned over, and continued to curl up and was forced to pull out of the vertical bulkhead by her, and placed it horizontally in the aisle of the life capsule as a dormant compartment for the bed. While murmured, she also tightened the blanket wrapped around her.
(Forget it... whatever you want - Tibers doesn't know what to say. When it finds that the humans outside seem to have no hostility to Little Anne, it doesn't want to care anymore.)
"Captain Garen, Captain Garen? Please answer when you hear it! Have you found anything important?!"
Captain Leona, who had been waiting for a long time on the bridge of Hope, couldn't help but urge and ask when she saw the surveillance equipment in the cargo warehouse of the armored transport ship that Garen and his group were actually surrounded in front of the strange lifesaving cabin without any other actions.
"Captain Garen? Please answer when you hear it!"
Captain Leona asked again, and at the same time, she sighed slightly in her heart.
Sure enough, these new recruits are unreliable! Not only did they almost hurt their own people just now, but now, even the captain, who is the supreme commander, do they ignore them?
In this direction of the spacecraft monitoring equipment, in their bridge, it is impossible to know what was inside the lifesaving pole that would make this group of people almost kill the unreliable Marines of their captain, making their reaction so strange?
"Ah? Oh... Sir, I've heard it, but... I think you'd better take a look at it yourself..."
After saying that, Garen quickly switched to the camera equipment on his power armor, so that a group of senior crew members and Captain Leona on the Hope could clearly see the scene in the lifesaving pod through his perspective.
“…”
Captain Leona and a group of senior officers from the Bridge saw the scenes appearing in the holographic image, they were so surprised that they couldn't speak.
Because, they saw that in this small lifesaving compartment with neat design, smooth lines, simple and a little gorgeous decoration, in addition to a control table, there are nine and a half living devices, and the nine vertically fixed to the bulkhead are all empty? And the remaining half is destructively pulled to the floor and turned into a small bed?
On this small bed, a little human girl was covered with a blanket and was holding her toy bear, and was asleep.
And on the floor of this lifesaving pod, there are leftover food residues and animal bones everywhere?
It seems that this little girl has had pretty good food during this period?
From the fact that she is still sleeping well and her rosy face, it can be seen that the other person's physical condition must be very good, right?
“…”
However, the only thing that puzzled these Marines and Captain Leona after seeing the video was: Why was a little girl who looked like a human in this distant and unfamiliar corner of the universe found in a life-saving pod that was obviously non-human?
This style of painting is obviously too weird, right?
Or is it that the universe is so great that it is all kinds of wonders?
Could it be that here, a warp speed voyage distance of more than 100 years from the Earth and the solar system, is there an alien civilization with a very similar appearance to the Earth?
Or...they are the earthlings and alien humans here to some extent?
"Captain? What should we do now?"
In the information bar, after seeing that his commander also began to remain silent.
Captain Garen breathed a little relieved. After letting the team members get rid of the combat state, he felt that there was nothing to do for the time being, so he quickly asked while the commander was still online.
“…”
Captain Leona didn't speak, she was still thinking.
She was thinking: the adventure in front of her and the series of complex problems that this adventure could extend to her. She always felt that this matter and this style seemed to reveal a strange smell everywhere?
Is it...what is wrong?
"You can now turn back to the track of Hope. Then, continue to scan and comprehensive safety inspections! As long as you make sure that there is no threat to the other party and the other party's lifeboat, you can approve your return! Everything will be handled according to the standard safety process."
For a moment, Captain Leona thought a lot, but in the end, she didn't know what to do?
So, she thought about it and could only follow the process, but the necessary inspections still need to be done.
As long as the little girl herself and her lifeboat has no substances or bacterial viruses that threaten Hope, then they can approve their transport ship to return to Hope.
Then, the scientific research team on Hope also needs to conduct a comprehensive decomposition and research on the lifeboat. It must use this to reverse the technological level of this strange alien force, analyze whether they have a threat to Hope, humans, etc....
She also knew that this would be a meticulous and long project and would not be able to come up with the answer in a short period of time.
"As for orders! Captain!"
Garen responded loudly, expressing his firm obedience to the order.
Then, he walked into the lifesaving compartment alone, and he planned to wake up the cute little girl who was still asleep?
In his opinion, the other party's delicate skin and tender flesh was just a little girl, and it seemed that there was no threat at all?
"Hey! Children, it's time to get up!"
Garen leaned forward and half-squatted down, and whispered twice.
However, the other party did not seem to wake up at all. Instead, he murmured a few unspeakable whispers and turned over to the other side.
“…”
Garen's cheek nerves thrust unconsciously, and then he walked to the other side with a sense of laughter and cry, and half-squatted down again.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to get up!"
Under the attention of the team members and a group of senior leaders of Hope, Captain Garen, who felt a little embarrassed, had to reach out and gently knock on the other party's small bed converted from the survival pole.
However, he forgot that he is still wearing power armor now. Even if he just beats it lightly, the momentum effect caused is as good as the time to beat drums and drums!
Who...is it...is that I'm going to sleep?!
Finally, with the loud noise, little Annie barely opened her big green eyes.
Then, she saw a steel monster who came to her. In his glass cover, the other party was still grimacing at her?!
Wow! There are really big alien monsters!?
Without thinking, little Annie, who had just been awakened while sleeping and was still not sure about the situation, immediately stretched out her bare little foot from the soft blanket and kicked Captain Garen's mask hard.
"ah!!!"
Chapter completed!
