Chapter 855 New members join

The top leaders of Black Hand Port knew that the beating was related to Shanna, but they would not leave her alone for the whole night, so after the Swan entered the port, no one suddenly jumped out to ask Alyssa and the others to leave quickly.

Time passed slowly, and it was night. It was quiet and the lighting in the colony satellite was lowered.

Alyssa took a bottle of local specialty "grape" wine, and sneaked out of the house while everyone else was asleep, and sat down on a big rock not far from the farm.

Drinking alone under the moon is very artistic, but unfortunately, there is no satellite as the moon here, and even if there is, it cannot be seen in the colony. Looking up, you can only see the faintly shining starry sky.

"Can't sleep?"

Long came over and simply sat next to Alyssa.

"Well, too many things happened today, I'm a little annoyed."

Alyssa raised her head and took a sip of wine, then handed the bottle to Long.

Although he is a silicon crystal man and doesn't know where his mouth is, Long can still drink, specifically by pouring it up to the crystal ball of the main body.

The light in the crystal ball swayed slightly, and even had a little blush.

The two of them drank a bottle of wine in silence, and Alyssa didn't plan to go back. She just stared at the starry sky quietly. After a while, she slowly spoke:

"When Shanna said she was going to be a sacrifice, I was really scared. I didn't know how to explain to Father Pro. I even thought about never going back to Blackhand Port again."

They had only lived together for a few days. It was nonsense to say that there was any bond between Alyssa and Shanna. What she couldn't accept was that she didn't know how to explain to Father Pro that your granddaughter was gone.

Long didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"This beautiful starry sky has swallowed up countless lives, and it also hides countless secrets. Shanna is probably just a negligible number, or maybe... me too."

"It seems that Carlos' rebellion is a good thing. You have become mature and stable."

"Don't come on."

Alyssa smiled and patted Long, lowered her head and said:

"I would rather be immature."

But people don't have the right to choose, they just go with the flow.

"From the perspective of us silicon crystal people, everything is meaningless, and the world just operates according to fixed laws."

The life span of silicon crystal people is comparable to that of humans, but the difference is that after the death of silicon crystal people, new silicon crystal people will grow from their corpses.

This is like jellyfish, which repeats aging and rebirth constantly. It seems to be immortal, but it is actually the alternation of the same individual.

So the outlook on life of silicon crystal people is different from that of other mortals.

"But precisely because it is meaningless, we need to give it meaning."

"When did you become a poet?"

"When you were daydreaming."

"..."

You are really good at comforting people.

Shaking her head, Alyssa said:

"Then let's talk about something realistic. We're going to chase my starship tomorrow."

"Are you scared?"

"How could that be? It's just... Well, I'm a little scared."

Before, with the starship as a backing, Alyssa was almost fearless, but after losing the starship, she really realized how ordinary people feel when they are traveling in the interstellar.

Back then, her grandfather started with only a loan, and from being alone, he managed to drive an eight-kilometer-long starship.

It just sounds like it's not difficult, but when you actually do it, you will know how much hardship there is.

Alyssa feels like a rich second-generation who has been pampered and suddenly lost everything, and now he is trying to find a way to take back what belongs to him.

This is really a bit like Iron Man.

Alyssa is not confused, but she is indeed a little scared, afraid of the future.

"My captain, no matter what, I will follow you as always, even to hell."

Alyssa hugged Long and whispered:

"Thank you."

–--——---

The next morning, the Swan set sail again.

Father Pro saw her off at the port. Before parting, he gave Alyssa a hairpin and a letter.

"You go find someone according to the address on the letter. That guy is the most knowledgeable intelligence dealer I know. He must have information about the whereabouts of the starship. The hairpin is a token. She owes me a favor and won't ask you for money."

Now we have the foundation to find the starship. The only thing we lack is intelligence.

An eight-kilometer-long starship looks big, but in fact it is just a drop in the ocean in this vast universe. Without a definite source of intelligence, it is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Alyssa nodded and accepted it. Father Pro whispered:

"Take good care of Shanna, she doesn't know anything yet."

"I know, don't worry, father."

Blackhand Port can tolerate Shanna staying for one night, but it cannot tolerate her staying in Blackhand Port forever.

After all, the fleet's target is obviously her. If Blackhand Port is hit again, it will not be a matter of a few deaths.

Shanna must leave. If she doesn't leave, Blackhand Port will send Shanna away when the fleet comes again.

So Father Pro asked Shanna to board Alyssa's ship.

Alyssa is a recycler. She travels all day long. It is still difficult to lock her location. Both of them will be safer.

Originally, Father Pro wanted to find a few crew members for Alyssa, but the people he trusted were busy recently, and he couldn't spare any manpower to repair Blackhand Port.

Anyway, with Li Chengxi here, if the Swan really wants to fight, it doesn't need many people.

"Remember to come back when you have time. I won't live long."

"Don't worry, old man. I'll come back as soon as I have time. And you will definitely live longer than me."

"Go away, little girl, just talk nonsense. Go away."

Although Father Proro is considered an old man among the dwarves, it is not certain who will see whom off in the end, considering the life span of the dwarves.

As the hatch closed, the Swan was immediately towed away from the berth by a tugboat. Shanna lay on the porthole and waved to Father Proro below until she could no longer see him.

Although Shanna remembered her mission, she was still just an innocent child in essence. She couldn't understand why she had to leave Blackhand Port.

But for Shanna, she probably just regarded boarding the Swan as a small adventure.

After all, elves are very long-lived, and Shanna is a clone of an ancient elf. Her concept of time is completely different from that of ordinary people.

The Swan, which left Black Hand Port, informed the tower of its direction. After getting permission, it ignited the engine to start pulse flight, and then started the jump after leaving the shielding force field.

This time, the place they were going to was a bit far, and the driving process was very long.

I heard from Alyssa that the Swan would pass through the "Big Void", which was actually a black hole.

Of course, it would not go close to it, but go around it.

All jump capabilities would be terminated when passing through the Big Void, and they could only rub the edge a little bit, and carefully go around it by pulse flight and jump.

This process would last about a week, and there would be no space stations or docking places along the way.
