Xiao Lou has always been worried about the conditions of the other four teammates, and he did not expect to see Chu Huaying in this way. The woman standing in the starship command room was wearing a handsome black suit, with a mask covering most of her face.
With only a pair of cold eyes showing, Xiao Lou almost didn't dare to recognize him: "Really Hua Ying?"
Tang Ci said firmly: "It's her, she won't admit her mistake."
Ye Qi couldn't help complaining: "I thought we were being robbed by star thieves and we were going to be caught... but it turned out that the leader of the star thieves was a teammate? Sister Hua Ying, this is so cool!"
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and commented: "She does have the potential to be a thief, and she can perform in her true colors."
Now that Chu Huaying has become a star thief, they don't have to worry about safety for the time being. Lu Jiuchuan looked back at Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang: "What should we do next, meet up with Chu Huaying? Or continue to the blue planet?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Look at her mask."
Ever since Chu Huaying's face appeared on the screen, Yu Hanjiang had been staring at the mask on her face. The silver mask had some strange black patterns on the edges, which looked particularly familiar.
Xiao Lou was shocked: "Is this the mask that the Hunter has worn before?"
Others also recalled the hunters they met in the secret chamber of the ancient tomb. In their memories, the masks on the faces of those who were tracking them were like this. There were also the owners of the Suncity Bar, and the twin brothers also had masks on their faces.
Wearing the same mask.
Tang Ci has checked this kind of mask, but no clear source has been found. It is sold everywhere on the Internet. If you get the pattern, you can even order it from a manufacturer. A simple mask can't explain anything - but, Chu Huaying is wearing a mask.
, this is enough to make everyone wary.
Ye Qi said: "Is this person not the real sister Huaying? But a copied hunter?"
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "Whether it is the real person or a clone, we can't be sure just from the appearance and voice. We have to find her in person to verify. We are hiding in Mr. Shao's luxurious suite now, and it is inconvenient to go out, so we might as well get her
come over?"
Xiao Loudao: "Brother Ninth means to use Peach Blossom Spring to attract people?"
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "Her starship is not far from our spaceship. It should be possible to teleport using Peach Blossom Spring, right?"
After 24:00 in the morning, the skills of all the cards had been refreshed. The Tao Yuanming card was in Shao Qingge's hand. When Shao Qingge heard this, he took out the card and returned it to Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou summoned Tao Yuanming, opened the Peach Blossom Garden in the house, and sent an invitation to the designated target.
The characteristic of the Peach Blossom Spring skill is that only the user can see the entrance. Only the user can decide who can enter the Peach Blossom Spring. However, teammates are not limited to entering the Peach Blossom Spring. Characters in the secret room can also follow them as long as they get the user's permission.
.So, the one who enters the Peach Blossom Spring is not necessarily the deity.
Xiao Lou took the initiative to invite her in, and she could come in even if she was a clone.
For the sake of safety, Xiao Lou and the six of them spread out after entering the Peach Blossom Garden, so that they could catch her at any time if things went bad.
Soon, everyone saw Chu Huaying dressed in black appearing under the peach blossom tree. She looked around, and after meeting Lu Jiuchuan's gaze, the coldness in her eyes quickly dissipated. She stepped forward and said hello: "Brother Ninth."
Lu Jiuchuan nodded towards her and asked, "Have you seen other teammates?"
Chu Huaying shook her head: "I haven't seen it before." She glanced at everyone and said doubtfully: "Xiao Liu, Lao Mo, Senior Gui, and Long Qu? Are they not with you?"
She could accurately name all her teammates. It seemed that it was Chu Huaying. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Lou explained: "Long Sen and Qu Wanyue stayed in Capital Star to follow up on an important clue. We have no news about the other three people. Mr. Tang checked the federal database, ID card system and household registration system.
They were not found."
Chu Huaying was silent for a moment: "Is something going to happen to them?"
Xiao Lou said: "That's not possible. The names on the contract are still there, so they should all be alive."
Chu Huaying found that Tang Ci was standing under the tree, not in a wheelchair. Her eyes lit up, she looked Tang Ci up and down and asked, "Have your legs really recovered?"
A rare smile appeared on Tang Ci's lips: "Ye Qi contributed the Insect King Card, and I grew new legs."
Ye Qi: "..."
This line sounds a bit strange. It has grown new legs, does it feel like some strange creature?
Chu Huaying was also very happy for Tang Ci: "That's great."
Xiao Lou looked at the silver mask on Chu Huaying's face and wondered, "Where did you get this mask?"
Chu Huaying took off his mask and said: "When I entered the secret room, I was imprisoned on the Dark Night starship. The gatekeeper assigned me the identity of the deputy captain of the Star Thieves. Our boss is a blond man with blue eyes. His name is
I went to drink and he deliberately got me drunk. How could I be easily drunk by him with my drinking capacity? I was just pretending to be drunk, and that idiot actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill me."
Everyone was sweating for her when they heard this. It seemed that Chu Huaying's start was not smooth.
"Kill you?!" Xiao Lou said worriedly, "Is he a hunter?"
"Well, I found this mask from his bedroom." Chu Huaying handed the mask to Xiao Lou, "Fortunately, cards can be used on the starship. The moment he took action, I walked around behind him
, and used the spider dagger to finish him off."
Everyone: "..."
Although Chu Huaying downplayed this experience, everyone can imagine the danger at that time.
As soon as she entered the secret room, she was drunk by the star thief leader. Fortunately, she was cautious enough and pretended to be drunk on purpose.
It turned out that the other party actually wanted to kill her?
If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, and her skills weren't agile enough, and she had completed the counterattack in an instant, she wouldn't be alive to see her teammates now.
Lu Jiuchuan looked at Chu Huaying and joked: "So, you, the boss of the star thief gang, couldn't kill you, but you killed him instead, so you naturally became the leader of the star thief?"
Chu Huaying nodded calmly: "Yes."
Everyone: “…………”
Sister Huaying is so domineering. Did she directly kill the boss and seize power?
Lu Jiuchuan chuckled and touched his nose: "The way you intercepted the interstellar passenger ship just now, you really looked like a female devil."
Chu Huaying raised her eyebrows slightly, noncommittal to his evaluation.
Ye Qi looked at Chu Huaying with admiration: "Sister Ying, your Dark Night starship looks like a spider magnified tens of thousands of times. It opens its teeth and claws, and its appearance is just like the boss in the game. I just said
We were all ready to fight the boss, but it turns out that the leader of the star thieves is you! Haha, the boss is a friendly force, so we were all nervous for nothing."
Chu Huaying smiled at Ye Qi, turned to look at Xiao Lou and said: "I have been looking for your whereabouts these days. As a star thief, I can only drive a starship to wander around in the universe. Our starship
You are on the wanted lists of various countries in the federation and cannot enter the space station at all, so I can only intercept the passing passenger spacecraft to see if I can find you."
Therefore, she intercepted this interstellar passenger spacecraft - the robbery was fake, but the search for talents was real.
Lu Jiuchuan joked: "You were the number one bounty person on the Hunter Alliance's wanted list in City of Sun and City of Moon. Now, you have become a star thief wanted by various countries. Why are you wanted every day?"
Chu Huaying was also helpless: "So I could only hide around. To avoid being suspected, I put on this mask."
Shao Qingge looked back at Xiao Lou: "What to do next? Should we follow Huaying, or continue to the Blue Planet?"
Xiao Lou asked: "Is Huaying's starship safe? Since you are now the boss of the star thief gang, are your subordinates willing to obey your orders completely?"
Chu Huaying nodded: "I was originally the deputy captain. I killed the boss. I told them that the boss died suddenly of alcohol poisoning. No one doubted it. They listened to me very much. Moreover, these star thieves are all homeless.
The returning desperadoes, without my protection, they will only die if they sneak out."
Tang Ci thought for a while and asked seriously: "The performance of your starship should be much higher than that of ordinary passenger spaceships, right? Can it roam around the universe at will?"
Chu Huaying said: "Yes, my starship has the fastest sailing speed and the most flexible space jump capability. This is why the federal countries have been unable to catch our group of star thieves. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the patrol force,
Send troops to encircle and suppress, I can’t stay near the route for too long, everyone should make a decision as soon as possible.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
It was past 24 o'clock, and the telepathy connected yesterday had expired, but Xiao Lou still saw Yu Hanjiang's thoughts in his eyes. So, Xiao Lou suggested: "Why don't we go to Shilt's no-man's land first?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: "After all, your identity is the prince. The invisibility cloak is only valid for 30 minutes. If we appear on the blue planet rashly, we may cause trouble if we are discovered. But if we follow the star thief, we will not be easily caught by His Majesty.
Capture them back. Moreover, the whereabouts of Liu Qiao and the others are still unknown, so we must find them as soon as possible."
Lu Jiuchuan also agreed with this decision: "Going to Hilt's no-man's land, maybe we can retrieve the memories of Tang Ci and me."
Ye Qi asked: "What about the clues on the princess's side?"
Xiao Loudao: "My sister Xiao Rou is now the princess of the Azure Empire. She has been married here for more than ten years. The investigation is not in a hurry. Follow Huaying first. It is important to find other teammates. After Huaying entered the secret room
I was almost killed by the Star Thief, and I'm worried that Xiao Liu and the others will also be in danger."
Everyone looked at each other and felt that this was the best way at the moment.
Chu Huaying said simply: "That's it. Come with me first. My starship sails ten times faster than an ordinary passenger spacecraft. If you want to go back to the Blue Empire, I can take you back at any time."
Xiao Lou said: "How will Hua Ying return to the starship?"
Chu Huaying raised her wrist and pressed the knob on a watch on her wrist. A small smart armor appeared in front of everyone's eyes: "I will go back in the armor and pretend to kidnap you on the spaceship. I need your cooperation to perform a show."
play."
Xiao Lou understood: "The four of us will put on the invisibility cloaks later, and you kidnap Mr. Shao and Ye Qi."
Chu Huaying nodded, quickly left the Peach Blossom Spring, and piloted the miniature armor to flexibly fly back to the Dark Night starship from the escape cabin at the rear of the spacecraft. Ye Qi stood by the window and only saw a red light flashing in front of his eyes.
After a while, Chu Huaying's face appeared again on the screens in all cabins.
She controlled the communication channel of the spacecraft and said calmly: "I will give you 30 seconds to open the hatch of the spacecraft and let my people board the spacecraft to collect some property. As long as you keep the money, I will let you go."
After all, the passenger spacecraft did not carry any lethal weapons, and being intercepted by the brutal star pirates was like an obedient house cat encountering a ferocious beast, with almost no resistance.
The captain's face turned pale, and he was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead: "I, I have been flying a spaceship for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered a star pirate! Quick, call the emergency help line of the space station!"
Chu Huaying seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, and said coldly: "If you dare to ask for help, I will blow up the spaceship immediately and let all your passengers be buried with the stupid captain!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the spider starship's claws wrapped around the spacecraft, and the hull began to shake violently again!
The passengers on the spacecraft stumbled, panicked, and screamed: "Don't they just want money? Give it to them!" "I heard that these star thieves do all kinds of evil. Shouldn't we die here today?" "I
I only brought some jewelry. As long as I am spared my life, I will give it all to them!"
Many people hugged each other and cried, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. The spacecraft seemed to have encountered an earthquake and tsunami. The hull was shaking constantly, the balance system failed, and there was a danger of falling into the universe at any time!
Under pressure, the captain gritted his teeth and opened the landing hatch of the spacecraft.
Chu Huaying took several of his men and drove a small airship into the landing module.
They were all heavily armed, dressed in neat black clothes, and holding new submachine guns in their hands. They could kill hundreds or thousands of people with just one sweep. Most of the people on the passenger spacecraft were ordinary people. When they saw the star dressed in black,
The thieves entered the spacecraft with guns in hand. Everyone did not even dare to leave the air, and they all retreated to reduce their presence.
Chu Huaying said coldly: "Everyone squat down and hold your heads with your hands. Don't move if you don't want to die."
A group of people trembled and squatted down, and Chu Huaying asked his men to quickly control the situation.
The door of the VIP luxury cabin at the end of the corridor was closed. She glanced at the cabin, walked over, and kicked the door hard: "People inside, come out."
The sound of the door being kicked made the passengers tremble all over and hold their heads tightly in fear.
The next moment, the cabin door slowly opened, and Shao Qingge and Ye Qi walked out obediently, carrying a suitcase in their hands. Shao Qingge said: "I only brought this cash, and I will give it all to you, as long as you are willing to forgive me."
We have one life.”
Chu Huaying raised her chin and asked her subordinates to open the suitcase. After seeing the cash inside, she nodded with satisfaction.
Then, she stepped forward and looked at Ye Qi, curled her lips, gently raised Ye Qi's chin, and said, "This little boy is quite good-looking. Let's take him back to play with you."
The subordinates all said in unison: "Yes, boss!"
Passengers: "???"
Chu Huaying looked at Shao Qingge: "As for this gentleman, he is very handsome, so he left it to me."
Passengers: "……………………"
This female devil actually wants to snatch away two handsome men?
The men around him were so scared that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, for fear that they would be attracted by her because they were handsome. Chu Huaying raised her lips and said, "It's a good harvest today. I'm in a good mood, so I won't embarrass other people."
She turned back to look at Shao and Ye, and waved her hands: "Take these two away."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked ugly and were reluctantly tied up by Chu Huaying's men and taken away.
Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci followed behind wearing invisibility cloaks.
Until the group of people left in the miniature battleship, the other passengers were still in shock, especially the young men. They couldn't help but think, those two were arrested by the Star Thieves because they were good-looking? It seems that the ugly ones
Talents will be safer!

[Chapter 424, Hilt No Man’s Land]
After Chu Huaying returned to the Dark Night starship, she brought Shao Qingge and Ye Qi into the command room. Facing the confused eyes of his subordinates, Chu Huaying waved her hands and said: "Let's all go. The money we grabbed today,
Enough to feed you for several years."
Several subordinates retreated, Chu Huaying closed the cabin door and walked to the control console.
The four of them in Xiao Lou then took off their invisibility cloaks.
Lu Jiuchuan suppressed his laughter and joked: "Hua Ying, you really look like a female star thief."
Shao Qingge said helplessly: "Ye Qi and I will have our reputations ruined by you."
Ye Qi scratched his head: "Maybe, there will be a hot search on the Internet later - Star thieves intercepted the passenger spacecraft and kidnapped two men. The two men will be brutally tortured?"
Chu Huaying took off her mask and said seriously: "Where to go? I will locate the navigation."
Lu Jiuchuan also stopped joking and said: "Go directly to Hilt's no man's land."
Chu Huaying's finger found an area marked red on the galaxy navigation map. She was slightly startled: "This area? It should be the territory of the Zerg."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Xiao Lou walked over nervously and asked, "Have you seen the Zerg?"
Chu Huaying said: "According to the setting, my parents were both star thieves and passed away many years ago. Therefore, I have followed this starship to wander around the universe since I was born. Hilt's no-man's land, I
I've passed by it many times, it's the domain of the highly intelligent Zerg and it's very dangerous."
She looked at Lu Jiuchuan in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"
Lu Jiuchuan simply explained: "Tang Ci and I once led the Arrow Legion to perform a special mission there, but we have lost our memory about the details of the mission. Gene duplication occurred in the Luoke Empire... the country where Xiao Lou is located.
Man, after our investigation, we found that the empire launched the Noah's Ark project 25 years ago, and the plan was restarted 20 years ago, and 9 insiders died in a row, and they were all silenced."
Chu Huaying understood: "In other words, the subject of the secret room's investigation this time is the clones and... the so-called Noah's Ark plan?"
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "Well, the matter is more complicated, and we don't have many clues at the moment."
Tang Ci added: "The special mission that Brother Nine and I went on, as well as the lost memory, must be related to this incident. Therefore, we want to return to the no-man's land of Hilt to see what secrets are hidden there.
.”
Chu Huaying was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "My starship can enter the Shilt no-man's land."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Lu Jiuchuan asked: "What do you mean you can enter?"
Chu Huaying said: "Don't you think my starship looks like an animal?"
Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "Like a magnified spider!"
Xiao Lou said: "The Zerg... don't they also look like spiders?"
Thinking back to the Zerg that 8 of Spades encountered, and the little bugs that crawled out of Ye Qi's fingers when he was treating Tang Ci, they were indeed very similar in appearance to spiders.
Chu Huaying opened the overhead view of the starship on the LCD screen and said: "The design of our Dark Night starship is inspired by the shape of the Zerg. The eight wings of the starship can be deformed at any time and can be deployed to improve flight.
Speed, when extended, it becomes eight claws with extremely powerful attack power. At the same time, the bottom of the eight wings can also fire high-energy electromagnetic cannons to straf across a wide range, making it impossible for other starships chasing us to get close."
She paused and said: "The most important thing is that this starship not only looks like an enlarged Zerg, but also has anti-reconnaissance capabilities. It can disguise the smell of the Zerg and sneak into the Zerg territory in the no-man's land of Hilt."
Xiao Lou wondered: "Why is it designed like this?"
Chu Huaying shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I have been on this starship since I can remember. The manufacturer and designer of this starship has died long ago."
Who is the designer of the Dark Night starship?
Why would they design a starship that could infiltrate Zerg territory?
Everyone looked at each other, but all these coincidences told everyone that there must be some unknown secret hidden in the Zerg territory, and the special mission that Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci carried out must be related to this secret.
Chu Huaying's starship just provides convenience to everyone.
Xiao Lou asked: "Have you ever been to the Zerg territory? Do you know how many Zerg there are on the planet here?"
Chu Huaying thought for a while and said: "I have passed through the Shilt no-man's land many times over the years, but I have not landed on the Zerg planet. I also heard from my parents that starships can log on to the planet.
.”
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Go and have a look before we talk."
Ye Qi thought of the Zerg in the 8 of Spades and couldn't help shaking goosebumps all over his body: "Are we going to experience the 8 of Spades again? What if we are infected by the Zerg..."
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes, gently pressed Ye Qi's shoulders and said, "What are you afraid of? The Insect King is here."
Ye Qi was delighted: "Yes, the Insect King Card can transform for 24 hours. At that time, all the Insects must listen to Mr. Shao's words. No matter how many Insects we encounter, at least escaping is not a problem."
Xiao Loudao: "In order to avoid causing fierce resistance from the Zerg, after landing on the Zerg planet, everyone should not attack them for the time being, let alone use fire."
Lu Jiuchuan originally thought that he would summon his Suzaku and spray out a cloud of sky fire to burn the insects away... But after Xiao Lou reminded him, he immediately gave up the idea of directly fighting the Zerg.
After all, fighting consumes a lot of energy, not to mention breaking into the nest of the bugs. If the bugs don't burn out and anger them, it's not a good thing. It's best to investigate secretly.
After everyone reached an agreement, Chu Huaying said: "Prepare for a space jump and take a shortcut to Shilt's no-man's land."
Her fingers quickly entered commands on the starship navigation screen.
The Dark Night starship was worthy of being a star pirate ship wanted by all the major empires. It flew extremely fast. After several consecutive space jumps, they crossed a galaxy and arrived at the uninhabited Hilt near the Clock Constellation in just one hour.
district.
The familiar environment gave Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci another headache.
Many messy pictures flashed through my mind, but I just couldn't see clearly what was going on.
Chu Huaying controlled the starship, unfolded all eight wings, and stabilized the balance. The spider-shaped starship broke through the heavy airflow in Hilt's no-man's land like lightning...
After a while, a brown planet appeared directly in front.
The planet is surrounded by black clouds and mist. The entire planet is mainly dark brown, with a slightly lighter golden circle in the middle. It is quietly suspended in the universe, like an eye pupil staring at the surroundings.
Ye Qi was startled by the strange appearance of the planet: "This...is this the Zerg planet?"
As we get closer and closer to the planet, everyone feels a little uneasy.
The 8 of Spades is an invasion of Zerg. After all, there are only a few Zerg that can come to human cities.
