Chapter 79

After Senior left, Gu Ding pulled Liliath and rushed onto the spaceship.

"Neptune, start the spaceship. We're leaving this place immediately!" Gu Ding immediately gave the captain's order after boarding the spaceship.

"Shouldn't we wait until the spaceship is repaired? Besides, the Onassis family … "Liliath asked, puzzled.

"No matter what's happening on this planet, we should stay away from it. With Senior's strength, he's just a pawn at the mercy of others. Every second we stay here, we're one step closer to death. " Gu Ding's expression was unprecedentedly serious. He was not a person who liked conspiracy theories, but it was obvious that something was happening on this planet. Whether it was Senior's answer or the Golden Eagle spaceship, both made Gu Ding feel uneasy. His intuition had always been accurate.

As soon as Neptune started the power system, the port's loudspeaker sounded. "I'm sorry, passengers. Due to a mechanical failure, the port's reception platform needs to be locked down immediately for repairs. The time required for repairs is uncertain. Passengers planning to leave Constlac in the next two days are requested to postpone their departure. We're very sorry for the inconvenience … "

"Can we get out?" Gu Ding ignored the announcement and asked Neptune.

"We can't. The spaceship's startup speed isn't fast enough. We'll crash into it, "Neptune gave a negative answer." Moreover, the planet's reception platform is controlled by semi-automatic machinery. If I hack into their control system, they can immediately unplug the power to the network system and switch to mechanical control to turn off the barrier above the reception platform. "

"That means we're trapped on this planet." Gu Ding frowned. He had a bad feeling about this. "Neptune, check the Starport Authority's previous video recordings and see who's on the Golden Eagle."

"Didn't you say you wanted to stay away from this?" Liliath also felt that things were developing a little strange.

"We're already trapped here. If they can get the Starport Authority to lock down the reception platform, it's not a big deal for them to break into the spaceship. I didn't want to know what was going on before because I was worried about causing unnecessary trouble. However, now we need to know what's going on so we can come up with a countermeasure. "Gu Ding knew that even if he hid in the cabin, trouble would still come. He might as well take the initiative and see what was going on so that he could think of a way to deal with it.

Neptune quickly infiltrated the Starport Authority's network. A moment later, he brought back a piece of news that Gu Ding did not want to hear. "We couldn't find any video information about that day. The memory chip in the Starport Authority is brand new. The old memory chip was taken away. The information on the new chip was copied by someone else, but the information on that day wasn't copied. All the information on that day was skipped. "

"I've also checked the serial number of this Golden Eagle Ship on the internet. This ship's mission authorization level is S, only the Universe Country Leader and the military's Marshal have the authority to view it. Only the generals of the Army are qualified to accept this kind of mission … "Although Neptune did not find much useful information, the mission's level was enough to explain the problem.

"In other words, there's at least one Army general on this planet …" Gu Ding's frown deepened.

"There are two ways a general can carry out a mission. One is to act independently without any subordinates. The other is a team operation. In a team operation, the general will bring at least two major generals with him. If the mission is more difficult, there may be a lieutenant general or even a general joining in. " Lilliath's expression did not look too good. "That Senior is obviously a member of this operation. This means that the general is not acting alone. It's a team operation."

"In addition to an Army general, there are at least two major generals on this planet …" Gu Ding took a deep breath.

"I just found out that the signal on this planet has been isolated from the outside world. They've turned on the planet's Absolute Shield," Neptune brought another piece of very bad news. Neptune brought another piece of very bad news. "Although I can break through after spending some time, it seems that I can't be of any help to you at the moment."

"Robert, we've prepared the materials. Since we can't leave, let's repair the spaceship first." Gu Ding looked at Robert, who had been silent, and poured out all the materials he had bought from his Inventory. "Do you need our help?"

"No, you'll only make things worse." Robert shook his head. "However, if you have time, you can help me bring something else. I usually like to tinker with little things. After repairing the spaceship, I have nothing better to do anyway … "

"Alright, give us the list. Lili and I will get off the spaceship to buy them later." Gu Ding nodded.

Lilliath had also poured out all the materials. When she heard Gu Ding's words, she asked with some uncertainty, "Are we getting off the spaceship? It's not safe to walk around without knowing what's going on, right? "

"There's no place on this planet that's safe for Interstellar Pirates, including our own spaceship." Gu Ding shook his head. "Besides us, many other Interstellar Pirates should have already realized this unusual situation. Let's see how they react and find out if anyone knows what's going on. "

"Go to the tavern?" Lilliath immediately knew where Gu Ding wanted to go. The tavern was where most Interstellar Pirates gathered. It was also one of the channels through which information spread in the Pirate World.

"Captain, I've emailed you the list," Robert reminded her.

"Alright then. Lili, you go to the tavern first. I'll help Robert buy the things. I'll look for you at the tavern after I'm done. " Gu Ding glanced at the list in the email. There were quite a lot of things, but most of them could be bought at the grocery store. Gu Ding raised his eyebrows when he saw the "nuclear trigger" on the list. He had seen this device in a book before. It seemed to be used to make weapons. However, Robert was already one of them. Although he did not want to participate in the battle, it was necessary for him to make weapons for self-defense. Gu Ding did not think too much about it.

The reason why he let Lilliath go to the tavern while he went shopping was that although the tavern was noisy, there were a lot of Interstellar Pirates. Even if the Army attacked, Lilliath's safety would be guaranteed. On the other hand, there was a high chance that she would encounter a sniper like Senior when she went shopping. He did not want to see something like that happen to Lilliath again.

Lilliath also guessed what Gu Ding was thinking. She just nodded and said nothing.

The two of them got off the spaceship and left in two different directions. Lilliath walked toward the tavern less than two hundred meters away from the port while Gu Ding walked toward the grocery store in the city.
