Chapter 1014: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

It's a bit outrageous to say that although everyone who boarded the Swan had their own reasons, they all accompanied Alyssa from birth to death without wages. This is because the situation was special. If the recruitment was normal, they would have given up the job long ago. .

Now there is no need to worry about funds. The money in the recycler's account is not a problem at all, and everyone has finally ushered in the payday.

After leaving the bank, Alyssa got on the tram again.

Then get off the bus near the edge of the port area, walk into a nearby pedestrian street, and find a bar.

Eunice also runs this place. Before leaving, she specifically told Alyssa to come here to find out the latest information. Once she gets the route information of the starship, she can set off to chase it.

After Alyssa came in, she walked directly to the bartender closest to them.

"What do you need?"

"I'm here to get something."

Eunice had already made arrangements in advance. Alyssa took out a coin and showed it to the bartender, who still maintained a business smile:

"Just a moment please."

With that said, he walked towards the kitchen.

This bar is open 24 hours a day, but people are still at work at this time and no one comes to drink. Most of the time it serves as a coffee shop.

Long then came closer and said:

"Alyssa, look at the second person by the window, is that Qian Chenghe?"

Alyssa looked back and saw that the man Long was talking about had his back to them and was wearing a big windbreaker. It wasn't possible to see too many details, but the figure from behind did look familiar to Alyssa.

This Qian Chenghe seemed to be an acquaintance, and it was obvious that Fang Lanyin and Shanna did not know this guy.

So Alyssa said to Fang Lanyin:

"You stay here until the bartender comes back."

Then he and Long walked towards the man.

This man named Qian Chenghe was holding a newspaper in his hand, covering most of his face, and holding a coffee cup in his left hand. He was still a little trembling. He doubted whether he had Parkinson's disease. After all, judging from the white hair on his temples, he was not very old. Smaller.

Alyssa sat opposite this person. When the latter heard the noise, he put down the newspaper in his hand, revealing the face of a weather-beaten old human male. The most striking thing was that he had a black eyepatch on his left eye. It looks like a classic pirate image.

Seeing Alyssa, his tight eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands clenched together unconsciously.

"Alyssa...I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I didn't expect that either, Captain Qian Chenghe."

This Qian Chenghe is one of Alyssa's competitors. When Carlos rebelled, he was the first to send space fighters to attack the Manta.

Logically speaking, it should be a meeting of enemies, but since there is a precedent of Perla, Qian Chenghe may have the same reason here.

"What are you doing here? Are you laughing at me?"

"Although I really want to laugh at you, in my current state, I should be the same as you. I care more about the truth. Did you also get kicked out by your subordinates?"

Qian Chenghe stared at Alyssa and did not answer immediately. His eyes, which used to be as sharp as a hawk, now showed a strong sense of fatigue and old age.

"I'm just here for a vacation."

"Really? Where's the parrot that's always with you? That little jerk who likes to eat sunflower seeds."

"Alyssa!"

Qian Chenghe immediately slapped the table and stood up, glaring his eyes and roaring:

"Don't test my patience, you son of a bitch! You don't deserve to ask...!"

This roar made the scattered customers in the bar look at him. Qian Chenghe seemed to have suddenly regained his senses and sat down with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just..."

"I know."

Alyssa didn’t care, she said:

"I met Perla before, and she told me a lot of things."

Qian Chenghe was silent for a long time before saying:

"It seems that Perla's situation is the same as yours and mine."

His words were almost acquiescence.

"So, what happened?"

"It's all over."

He said:

"Your starship was taken away by Carlos, at least there is a possibility of getting it back, and mine...heh, I don't know how to explain it."

Alyssa pushed the coffee in the direction of Qian Chenghe, who calmed down and said:

"After you escaped, our three starships met at a predetermined location. There was originally a big deal, but we encountered a special ship."

"Why is it special?"

Qian Chenghe shook his head and said:

"I don't know how to describe it. It was just the size of a destroyer, a model I had never seen before. At that time, I ordered the correspondent on the bridge to send an avoidance signal to keep it away from me."

The starship is eight kilometers long, while the destroyer is only about 500 meters. The huge size makes it difficult for the starship to turn, so small boats usually avoid larger ships.

"But the other party did not respond to my message and did not change direction. I thought I had encountered a madman, so I asked my people to try their best to turn around. If that didn't work, I would shoot him away."

An unknown shape and no identification number. This kind of ship is basically a pirate ship. Qian Chenghe has a good relationship with many pirates, so he chooses to avoid it. However, if it threatens the navigation safety of his own starship, no one else will say no to blowing it up. Something went wrong.

"Then what?"

Alyssa asked:

"Then what happened?"

"My weapon is useless, no, it doesn't work."

"The system is down? Can't you control it manually?"

"It's more serious than that. My starship was taken away by the opponent in an instant."

These words made Alyssa and Long look at each other.

"I sent a call for help to Carlos and Perla, but they also had no response, and then my ship, it collapsed."

"Crashed?"

"It literally means that starting from the outer armor plate, it was like being sucked away by a huge gravitational black hole, and it was broken piece by piece. Many people were thrown directly into the void before they had time to escape, including..."

Qian Chenghe touched his shoulder. Originally there stood a parrot that Qian Chenghe had raised since he was a child. It was his only trustworthy and best friend. In order to extend the life of this parrot, Qian Chenghe spent a lot of money. A lot of money was spent on mechanizing it.

"It happened so suddenly that we didn't have any chance to resist. I don't know how many people escaped. When the starship collapsed, only a few escape cabins were activated. I hid inside and watched my starship with my own eyes. Bits were torn apart, the pieces were drawn to the unseen destroyer, and it reformed."

Qian Chenghe tugged at his messy hair:

"It's like that bastard took my starship into parts and wore it on himself like clothing. It turned into a new starship and then disappeared along with Carlos and Perla's starship. Well, I drifted in the void for almost ten days before I was discovered by a passing merchant ship."

Although there are all kinds of weird things in the void, taking apart a starship and wearing it on yourself becomes a new starship...

Are you sure you're not telling me some science fiction story?
