Three days later, Ling Yaoyao and her friends arrived at the main planet at the border, Planet Baijia.
It only takes a four-hour voyage from Baijia to Yilan, but because of the high-security risk on Yilan, there are not many spacecraft going there, only one trip a day.
The Handsome Star Squad team members took a rest in Baijia, and their transfer to Yilan is half a day later.
Qiao Mingyao was a bit impatient and didn't want to delay for a long time on Baijia. He proposed to take out their spare miniature warships and go to Yilan on their own or just drive their mechas directly into space.
But Ye Xi, who knew very well about the situation on Yilan, stopped him. Star pirates would almost always rob any civilian spacecraft or mecha who went to Yilan privately.
Taking an official spacecraft is not 100% safe from robbery, but at least it can guarantee personal safety.
Baijia is also one of the main planets of the Gray Wolf Legion on the border. If there is no war, Ling Xuan often stays on Baijia. The communication signal there will be relatively stable.
If he was in the battle, that's not necessarily the case. Communication signals are often cut off or blocked. Even if the communication channel is intact, the military will monitor it.
Ling Yaoyao has had very few opportunities to talk with Ling Xuan in private lately. Their last communication was more than half a month ago.
However, Ling Xuan once said that if she has urgent and important things and can't contact him directly, she can contact Lu Lin instead. As a technician, Lu Lin does not need to follow him to the forefront. Many times he would be stationed at the rear.
Ling Xuan's communication number was still unreachable. Taking advantage of their break at Baijia, Ling Yaoyao considered her words and sent a message marked as urgent to Lu Lin. She asked him to help her transfer the message to Ling Xuan as soon as possible.
She just made a personal guess that Yilan might be attacked by the SSS-class Zerg queen/king. She didn't mind little brother Lu Lin could see this message because he was someone she could trust. However, she is afraid that someone from the Tarzher Alliance will intercept this information.
Therefore, Ling Yaoyao used a code word, which is a series of numbers with unclear meaning in the eyes of ordinary people: "1-6, 1-28, 3-12, 8-51, 22-34..."
Ling Yaoyao has not learned any Morse codes or other secret words, but she once gave Ling Xuan a water-resistant paperback collector's edition of the five thousand years history of the empire. They had agreed on a code word mode, such as "1-6"—the meaning of the sixth word on the first page.
Even if Ling Xuan doesn't have the paper copy in his hand, he also has the electronic copy in his communication device. As long as he can receive her message, he can decipher what she wants to express.
Even if outsiders guessed this method, they wouldn't know which book she and Ling Xuan had agreed upon, which could well prevent the secret from leaking.
Brother Lu Lin was indeed online. After receiving Ling Yaoyao's message, he sent a sentence shortly afterward, "Received! I expect to forward the message to the boss by tomorrow at the latest. Sister-in-law, why are you here at Baijia?"
Ling Yaoyao looked at the phrase "sister-in-law" excitedly.
Lu Lin forwards the message to Ling Xuan at the latest tomorrow, which means that Ling Xuan is currently in a zone where communication is blocked or inconvenient.
As for her whereabouts... it must have been located by Lu Lin, a technical expert, based on her communication device.
The Ling family did not take the initiative to tell Ling Xuan about the fact that Ling Yaoyao was going to the border for training. First, they knew that the battle on the front line was tense and didn't want Ling Xuan to be distracted. Second, they felt that Wei Yuan guarded ling Yaoyao and the place would not be too dangerous.
Had it not been for Yilan's special situation, Ling Yaoyao had no intention of revealing her whereabouts.
Now it has to be leaked. It doesn't matter if she could not see him, but she will definitely get him a good meal when he comes back.
Ling Yaoyao had to reply vaguely to inform Lu Lin that she and a few combatant companions will go on training together, and there should be no problem with safety.
From the other side, Lu Lin replied, "If you are in danger, please ask for help any time," and then he began to monitor Ling Yaoyao's real-time location throughout the process.
Soon, Ling Yaoyao and others boarded a spacecraft heading to Yilan.
Only this time, the voyage did not go as smoothly. One hour away from Yilan, the spacecraft was attacked by star pirates.
Because the Zerg has now become a kind of alien beasts resource, the pirates in Yilan are not happy that a large number of adventurers go to the Yilan Star to hunt Zergs and grab resources from them.
Although Yilan has many Zerg species, which greatly exceeds the hunting ability of the local patrolling army and residents, it is still no problem to ensure safety in the city. The Zergs outside the city can be left to kill slowly or be kept in captivity as a species of alien beasts.
Therefore, the star pirates came to intercept and rob the spaceship that was going to Yilan to transport adventurers. They planned to loot most of the resources they brought! And give them a good start!
In this way, even if these people arrived at Yilan, they would cry and want to return with the spacecraft.
The security of the official spaceship is part of patrolling army, but they are not the kind of iron-blooded and merciless fellows in the Gray Wolf Legion.
Because Marshal Zhao, who is in charge of the patrolling army, is far away in the Imperial Star Capital, the patrolling army in Yilan even reached secret cooperation with the star pirates and got a lot of benefits from them. As long as they don't take any life, just leave some money nearby.
The person in charge still has a very high-sounding excuse. Anyway, these adventurers come to experience life. Encountering star pirates is also a kind of experience! If they can be scared to pee, then it would be safer to change to another planet earlier. Yilan does not welcome idiots.
Although the Gray Wolf Legion knew about this, they also acquiesced to it.
One is that Marshal Ling Zhenghai leads Gray Wolf Legion, while Marshal Zhao Bohai is behind the patrolling army. The Gray Wolf Legion does not have the authority to intervene in the patrolling army.
Second, those who were scared off after being robbed by star pirates must be adventurers who were not strong enough. It was better to get robbed than lose their lives at Yilan.
These are the unspoken rules and gray areas that the middle and upper-class people accepted, but in the eyes of the fledgling Ling Yaoyao and her group, it is very incomprehensible. Why would an official spacecraft with extraordinary combat power get robbed by those second-hand warships? Can't they fight it? Is it be easier to let those star pirates board a guest spacecraft and ask money from adventurers like them?
Experienced adventurers who are familiar with Yilan are very proficient in opening their space buttons and communication device accounts. They said that they had no money at all, only a small part of the rations and entrance fees.
They have understood the rules of Yilan, so they have already stored all their money on Baijia.
Most of the adventurers who came to Yilan for the first time were very angry. They tried to argue with these bandits, but when they saw the pirates' black energy gun and the intimidating laser blade, they had to succumb to these bandits and hand over most of their money.
Ling Yaoyao group were among the wealthiest guests because they were in the VIP guest room area. Therefore, the number of star pirates who came to rob them was particularly large, and their equipment was particularly complete.
When he saw the patrolling army that shrank and surrendered after pretending to resist, Zhao Qingyun, the little prince of the Zhao family, was going to be mad!
He did not hesitate to take out the latest miniature ion gun mount from his space button. He did point it against a star thief who looks fiercer but a cowering patrolling army. "This is all you got? Have all the public funds allocated above been fed to the dog?!"
The leader of the patrolling army was a fat captain. When a boy like Zhao Qingyun held a very dangerous weapon, he didn't shrink immediately but said with a long face. "Boy, don't you see their number? We only have a few people. If you can beat them, you can do it!"
The leader of the star pirate is a big man with a scarred face. He looked at the miniature ion cannon in Zhao Qingyun's hand with a greedy look and kept scanning the little cutie, Ling Yaoyao, who was surrounded by several combatants, with his squinting eyes.
"Boy, no matter how powerful your ion cannon is, there is only one. You can't beat hundreds of our energy guns! Hand over your belongings quickly! If you are really unwilling to hand over your belongings, that's alright. As long as you hand over the ion cannon in your hand, and then let the little beauty behind you come back with us to be our madam..."
Although ion cannons are not very rare, they are controlled weapons. They can be bought on the black market, but they are very expensive.
The scar-faced man looked at these people who had delicate skin and tender flesh. Their clothes were also expensive. He thought that the group was just a few rich young masters who came out to practice, so they were not afraid. So after being provoked by Zhao Qingyun, his words were more rampant than usual.+
Although their agreement with the patrolling army was only to rob money, it didn't say that they can't tease a beautiful woman with a few words, just to frighten these young masters who don't know the heights of the sky.
If they didn't turn back to Baijia immediately and still went to Yilan... they would have the final say on how to play with these young masters!
