The signal has not been received yet, but two rows of steel-maned soldiers, surrounded by a shorter steel-maned man, have already walked in from the main passage.
This dwarf is really too short. Visually, he is about the same height as Ding Meng. However, when the short man saw the dwarf, he quickly walked up to him with a somewhat respectful expression: "Are you okay?"
The dwarf's tone was very subtle, as if he was out of breath: "No...it's okay..."
The short man's expression darkened: "You have been wronged."
The dwarf said: "It doesn't matter, am I joining you now?"
The short man looked solemn: "Don't worry, I will do my best to escort you back."
The dwarf said: "Thank you!"
The short man said seriously: "You don't have to say such things to me."
The dwarf said: "I know!"
At this time, the rescue capsule had been dragged in by a group of soldiers with steel forks.
The man with the steel mane has a deep research on various metals. The tall man knew at a glance that the surface material of this rescue capsule was extraordinary, and he would definitely get a good price if he took it back.
Just when he was deciding whether to open it, the main console suddenly made a "beep" sound, and the real-time picture provided by the reconnaissance radar appeared. Everyone turned around and saw a mighty frog fleet in the dark space.
Now approaching our side, this fleet has no less than a hundred ships, arranged neatly and orderly, like a series of mutated frogs.
You don't need to think about it to know that this is definitely a regular fleet of the military, not some wild combination.
The subordinate is already reporting: "Boss, the other party has sent a message. They claim to be the advance force of the 202nd Star Fleet and are entering the rainforest system. They require us to enter the port to cooperate with the inspection."
The tall man immediately turned to look at the short man. The short man pondered and gave a decisive order: "We must not cause any trouble at this juncture. We will just follow the instructions of the Frog Fleet. Everyone, just be patient and get through it."
He gave this instruction out of helplessness. You must know that the Steel Mane Empire is dependent on the Frogman Kingdom, and the Byron Galaxy where it is located is actually quite small. If a country is not strong, then its people will certainly not be strong.
Therefore, in outer space, the Steel Mane people often encounter discrimination from the frog tribe. For things like this requiring entry into the port for inspection, the Steel Mane spacecraft often has no choice but to obediently comply.
The inspection is not a real inspection. They are just passing merchant ships and civilian ships. The frogmen will plunder them. To put it mildly, if they are stripped of their identity as a frog army, they are essentially no different from interstellar pirates.
.
It was obviously not the first time that the tall man had experienced this kind of thing, but after the short man spoke, he had no choice but to stay there and wait quietly, because he knew that the Frog Clan soldiers would soon board the boat and search around.
Twenty minutes later, there was a burst of extremely heavy but very orderly footsteps in the main passage. The sound was like a hammer hitting a steel plate, very sonorous and powerful. A group of about forty Frog Soldiers looked majestic.
Entered the command hall.
One general characteristic of the frog tribe is that no matter how their appearance changes, they can never escape the category of frogs. However, they have obviously evolved many times and can now walk upright on their legs.
Thick thighs are the foundation of the frog clan. The thighs of a normal frogman are almost two meters tall when standing, which is almost the same as the height of a steel-maned man. Therefore, this ship full of steel-maned men can stand in front of the frog clan soldiers.
, and became a dwarf again.
The lower abdomen of the frog tribe is huge, and the belly is the most flexible part. It is usually vulnerable to attacks. It is difficult to recover after the body is damaged, so they use advanced biotechnology combined with mechanical metal to replace it, so the frogs look like real ones.
The re-engineered warrior - half biological, half machine!
The more seriously injured the Frog Clan soldier is, the more metal plates, coil components, battle clothes and armor are on his body. This is a symbol of the Frog Clan's glory. A guard who has experienced hundreds of battles, basically only his limbs are left.
and the head, the rest are all replaced by metal machinery.
The biggest feature of the Frog Clan is naturally their pair of eyes as thick as footballs. Their eyesight is extremely strong. The more powerful the people, the eyes are not only larger, but also have different colors, just like the hair of the Steel Mane Clan.
That represents status.
At this moment, the leader of the frog clan walked up swaggeringly, and a voice came out from his abdomen: "Who is the person in charge of this ship?"
Even though the tall man was 3 meters long, he looked like a mouse in front of this frog monster. The tall man immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Sir, I am it!"
Half of this frog monster's chest is made of a mixture of metals of various colors, but its eyes are slightly red. It seems that he should be a general-level frogman.
"Name!" The general looked very impatient.
The tall man didn't dare to neglect: "Lianluo!"
As soon as he answered this, a frog soldier stood next to him and stretched out a glowing metal fluorescent stick. It was probably a scanner or something like that. He poked and clicked on Lian Luo. After scanning for a long time, the soldier nodded.
: "Well, there's no sign, it's a gangster!"
Black merchants are those of the Steel Mane clan who do illegal business in space, and are typically human traffickers.
Lian Luo's expression suddenly changed. The identity of the gangster was found out, and he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
The general turned his head and said, "Have you searched them all?"
The soldier continued to nod: "Boss, we searched everything. There is nothing valuable. The cargo hold is full of metal junk that we don't want."
The general was a little unhappy when he got there. He turned to look at Lian Luo: "You are an interstellar gangster. You have built such a big cargo ship and come to this rainforest star field. What do you want to do? Exploration? Or capture people?"
The eyes of the frog tribe are particularly terrifying. If you stare for a long time, you will have hallucinations. Lian Luo did not dare to raise his head and said with a dry smile: "Sir, you guys are just trying to make a living and earn some hard money. Please show your kindness."
He may not even believe this. This black ship is a standard large transport ship, and its facilities are very backward. But people with some navigation knowledge should know that the more stupid, big and rough a unit is, the higher the maintenance cost will be.
The higher the altitude, if there is really no harvest after wandering around in outer space, all the people on the ship will lose everything.
It was obvious that the general was not so easy to fool. His eyes rested on the short man. The short man was indeed different from many steel-maned men in this place because he wore a battle suit.
Although the Steelmane tribe respects their hair, those who are rich and have real status usually wear clothes. Only the people at the bottom run around naked. Those with slightly better conditions can get a pair of metal pants.
"You, come here!" The general twitched his fingers.
The short man had no choice but to step forward.
"Take off your clothes!" the general said coldly.
It seems like a small move, but it is actually very difficult for the Steel Mane people to accept, because wearing a battle suit means you have a certain social status. The purpose of the frog tribe asking you to take off your battle suit is to take a look at your
Hair color, which determines your level of danger, is actually a joke because you will be laughed at by other steel-maned people in the future, which is essentially an unacceptable insult.
Sure enough, the short man neither moved nor answered, he just stood quietly.
The general said angrily: "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I say?"
The short man had an expressionless face.
"Pa————"
The general's paw slapped the short man in the face.
The claws of this giant frog were as good as steel thorns. The short man was suddenly sent flying out, smashing several consoles in a row, and finally hit a steel bench. He immediately lay motionless. It looked like he should
He passed out.
The general was still very angry at first, but suddenly he was stunned: "Bah, you useless piece of trash, you put on clothes and pretend to be a master? You can't even withstand a slap from me, you are such a waste, a gangster is a gangster, it's really boring
…”
If there were really experts present, they would find that the short man was definitely not a waste, but was deliberately slapped away by him. On the contrary, the strength of this short man was not even inferior to Lian Luo, but the general had lost interest in him.
There was another sound at the gate, and two soldiers dragged the rescue capsule in: "Boss, we found this!"
The general laughed: "Oh, I know you really don't have any goods. It turns out that you salvaged the human race's rescue capsule."
Lian Luo felt depressed for a while. Cao Nima's labor is hidden in the filter tube of the power cabin, and you can all find it. Are Cao Nima's frog eyes so poisonous?
The general obviously also had a discerning eye and scanned the life capsule carefully: "Who is locked inside?"
Lian Luo gritted his teeth and said, "It's the miners we put in."
This was a huge lie, but it was probably the best lie he ever told in his life, because it saved the lives of a whole boat full of people.
The general asked: "You came back from Yulin No. 1?"
Lian Luo hurriedly said: "Yes, we came here from the Akashina centralized operator. Sir, you should also know that there are many expedition teams from the Nox Empire on Star 1, and we can make some profit from them."
This time he told the truth, but the general didn't believe it. He doubted: "Can the miners afford such a good rescue cabin?"
Lian Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain forcefully: "Some of the expedition teams on Planet 1 are from large consortiums. They may use better equipment. We are a third party and cannot actually land on the planet, so I don't know what's on the ground."
specific circumstances.”
The general looked at him doubtfully and kicked the life capsule hard: "Open it and let me see!"
Lian Luo stepped forward and closed his eyes tightly. He was already ready to take action. If there was an officer from the Nuo Star Empire in this cabin, he would have to fight hard to avoid being captured by the frogmen and the ship.
Lian Luo took a deep breath and slowly turned the knob on the outside of the cabin.
With a "chi" sound, the hatch slowly tilted up, the hinges opened, and a large amount of white gas spewed out.
Everyone opened their eyes curiously, but the rescue cabin was empty, with nothing, not even a bird feather.
"Unlucky!" the general was furious, "Are you kidding me?"
Lian Luo's hanging heart suddenly dropped, and he raised his hands in the air: "Sir, we don't know that the recovered rescue capsule is empty. Maybe... maybe the miners below are dead, so we accidentally bombed it."
An empty cabin comes up."
"What a fucking unlucky person." The general was so angry that he went crazy. "Everyone else has money to make. I finally went on duty once, but why did I run into a bunch of poor guys like you?"
