Chapter 19: enemy attack

Looking at such a small merchant ship, and seeing the piles of goods with sewing needles, the place to live is definitely not very good. But when the captain brought Xia to the front cabin, she looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Captain, this is the morgue? You still sell corpses!"

"You're blind! This is a bed, a honeycomb crew bed." The captain glared at her fiercely.

"Honeycomb-type crew bed..." Xia Yi looked at the crew room that was severely crowded by the cargo hold. The 15-meter-wide hull was fully occupied, and it was only 10 meters long. And those crew beds, like the holes of a honeycomb, are densely piled on top of each other, all over the place. The highest beds have reached the top of the ship, and there is not even a simple staircase. It does look like a standing hive, but the morgue is about the same.

No way! Xia Yi had a bad feeling in his heart. He couldn't get up without the bed at the top of the stairs. Could it be that he turned off the gravity setting and floated up without gravity? This is not only a rotten ship but also an antique!

This is the captain pointing to the bed with 125 written on it and saying: "Boy, you can sleep in the upper position. The other places are full, and the last one is just reserved for you."

"Captain, you took 125 people in such a small space?" Xia Yi looked at the captain in surprise. There were other passengers on the boat besides himself? What kind of person with a brain problem would take such a rotten ship to a remote colonial star.

The captain walked to a door that was piled in the middle of the crew bed, pressed it to the side, and the door shrunk to the left to open. There was a loud noise from inside, and he said, "Keep your luggage safe. Besides you, there are many miners who go to Star 53. I can't guarantee that no one inside will not do anything."

To go to the warehouse or the main ship room, you have to go directly through here, and the most important operation room is also in the main ship room. In fact, this kind of boat, kitchen, activity room, and dining room are all mixed in the main boat room, which can be regarded as quite crowded.

As soon as Xia followed him into the main cabin, he saw that it was full of people, and there were even people sitting on the ground. The originally small space was even more uncomfortable, and it was all middle-aged men. The people who go to the colony to work as miners are all older people, and occasionally there are some young people, but the majority are middle-aged people.

Although they are miners, in fact, they don’t need to dig in person, all robots come forward. They only need to control various machines, and some ore loading and so on also have to be driven by people. Most of them came because of middle-aged people, because many ore-producing colony stars didn't even have air, they had high-intensity radiation, and they didn't even have women. There are few things for entertainment, and the green plants are just a small piece of planted in the base, which is extremely boring.

Not to mention the food. When the supply is sometimes insufficient, we can only eat compressed emergency food. The army's emergency food is better, and the civilian use is the most convenient paste, which no one wants to eat.

Some ore-producing stars are harassed by Melastre from time to time, but their income is very high, which is one of the relatively high incomes in the Nada galaxy. It is easy to get started with high income, and it is the preferred career of many men who support their families.

They are all middle-aged. They have come to colonize stars for a few years or more than a decade. Before they are 60 years old, they can save enough money for retirement. They can take their families to find a colony star with a good environment and low prices to retire. Do something you like.

Although the conditions of taking a merchant ship are a lot worse, the price is cheap, and it is the preferred choice for miners with poor conditions. Xia Yi, like them, boarded this super bad merchant ship. The only difference is that they went to the civilian No. 53 mineral colony star, while she went to the military No. 52 mineral star. There is only one difference between the two, and the minerals mined are different.

As soon as the captain brought Xia Yi in, many people shouted loudly, "Captain, will your ship explode in space! The vibration just now was too strong, and we didn't arrange a seat for us to tie up. Get up and roll around on the ground just like that!"

"That's right, I was hit by something falling off just now, what part is this!" One person held a palm-sized metal fitting in his hand and scolded angrily.

In the face of everyone's anger, the captain walked over without saying a word, grabbed the accessory, and threw it to a crew member. "Tom, I didn't ask you to install the star map locator, how could this thing fall off!"

"Ah! This thing turned out to be here, so I said why the star map is now black." The crew member named Tom took the accessories apologetically, and immediately started the maintenance robot arm, and started the installation on the ship with the accessories. installed on it.

Those miners who were still noisy all shut up, what kind of rotten ship is this, even the star map locator can be damaged by shock. All fools know that without a star map locator, they cannot find their own way, and God knows where they will float in this space. Now they are all looking up at the robotic arm, watching it install accessories there.

The captain is very satisfied with this quietness. Every time he pulls the miners, there will be such dissatisfied noises, but there will always be important accessories falling off, which can immediately scare these people away from making trouble.

He threw Xia Yi in the crowd, and walked into the control room next to him that was separated by transparent metal glass. There were 10 crew members in the small control room, all of whom were controlling the flight of the ship.

After finally finding a place to sit down, Xia Yi looked at the starry sky outside through the small window on the ship, and began to endure the 3-month voyage.

Life on the ship is boring and tasteless. Fortunately, the filtration system is good, and the people in the ship do not feel that the air is cloudy. Those hives were fine, like a morgue, but they could sleep. It's just that the weightlessness before getting up and going to bed every day always makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and there are idiots who live high, who can't swim for a long time after floating up, and keep doing swimming poses in the same place, but they can't go to themselves. of beds.

There are only two spaces for the toilet and bath, and Xia Yi spends a third of the day waiting in line to take a shower and go to the toilet. After a long time, she had an incomparable hope in her heart that she would arrive at star 52 as soon as possible, and if she stayed here, she felt that she would definitely go mad and beat the stingy captain to death.

There is no smoking on the ship, and the captain always takes the lead in sitting in the dining room, smoking his cigar and eating meals made by a chef with super bad cooking skills.

Xia Yi looked at the food on the metal plate, mashed vegetables, beans, and meat paste plus bread or rice. The mashed beans and meat paste are all in buckets, and the chef just takes them out and heats them up, and at most, cooks some rice occasionally. The only thing that can be done by hand, that is, the bread that can be baked without even looking at it by only mixing the noodles, adding the ingredients according to the proportion and throwing them into the automatic oven.

Xia Yi was very skeptical. If the bread didn't take up space, I'm afraid they would even bring ready-made bread. The chef who puts on his clothes before eating is a chef, and when he takes off after eating, he becomes a maintenance worker. He is really versatile.

Fortunately, he wisely went to eat a good meal before leaving, Xia Yi quietly ate this really not very delicious heated lunch. Suddenly, the hull vibrated violently, and the plate in his hand was directly buckled to the ground. Some people fell directly on their bodies, and just as they were about to yell at the captain, they heard a harsh siren from the ship.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!" The crew in the control room shouted loudly, and the captain jumped up and quickly got into the control room.

Xia looked out of the window, and saw a small battleship flying over in the distance, only to see the flash of fire, and the attacking shells flew over. She said inexplicably, "Enemy attack? Space robbers?"

"It's the Meras Emperor's hunter fighter! Everyone has entered the crew room, we are going to escape!" The captain roared, everyone was in chaos, and rushed into the crew room, only Xia Yi was well standing in the main cabin.

When the captain saw that there was an idler standing here, he was about to scold her, but when he realized that it was Xia Yi, he paused, and then shouted, "A soldier, can you use weapons!"

"Yes." Xia Yi answered cheerfully.

"The four of you hurry to the weapons bay!" The captain pointed to the three and asked Xia Yi to follow them.

Xia Yi followed the three people into the cargo hold, only to see them touching the wall of the ship, and there were four doors on either side. The three crew members rushed into three of them, and the door inside was closed after entering. Xia Yi also got into the empty one, and saw that there was a battle chair inside, with a lot of boxes piled around.

She sat on the chair, and the voice device on her ear immediately received the frequency of the control room, and the captain's roar came from inside, "Turn on the quantum low-voltage cannon, and kill them for me!"

Xia Yi knows how to use weapons, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com is only the equipment of the Marine Corps, and so far she has not let her fire a single shot. Now she doesn't even know how to activate the quantum low-voltage cannon on the merchant ship opposite.

I don't know what to look at, this ship is so backward, it doesn't even have a light curtain panel, but there is a red button on the table in front of it, which is stupidly written on it. Xia Yi pressed it down without saying a word, and with a buzzing sound, the metal plate in front of her moved away to reveal a semi-circular transparent glass.

Through the glass, she saw at a glance the hunter fighter plane of Melastre, which just flew past the merchant ship. The console of the quantum low-voltage gun was also raised on the table, and there was a hemisphere-like thing on the right hand side. Xia Yi finally knew that this was to control the direction of the battery. On the left hand side is the attack control of the quantum low-voltage cannon, which can control the amount of energy emitted each time.

Data also began to appear on that piece of glass. The number of hunter fighters around the merchant ship and the distance were displayed on it. There is also how much energy, and the damage to the hull is also clear.

"Six hunters...that's a lot." Xia Yi said to himself.

Then I heard the captain's voice, "A soldier! There is also a parallel battleship, which can send 24 hunters, just fight if you don't want to die!"

"24! Did you steal Queen Melas's underwear and attract so many guys?" Xia Yi asked curiously.

"You bastard, you're still joking! These were specially sent by Meras Emperor to rob the merchant ships! Never take prisoners, beat them hard if you want to survive!" The captain was enraged by her question. Also in the mood to joke.

Xia Yi laughed, "Understood, you will die if you don't fight."
