Chapter 50: I am an Earthling!

The pirate Kubo did not board the same spaceship as the black-clad pirate leader, luckily escaping death. He watched helplessly as the flagship was destroyed in less than a minute, and the black-clad leader died an unnatural death.

The terror brought to him by that black figure emerging from the fire in space was far greater than that brought to the other pirates, because he knew that in the Galaxy, power ful warriors possessing such combat power to change the tide of battle could only come from the three major Watcher Civilizations.

Behind them stood the three major races that appeared earliest in the Galaxy and had the longest history of development, reaching the peak by trampling on the bones of thousands of intelligent civilizations.

Offending them basically indicated that this group of people was done for.

Now, perhaps only the mysterious force behind this group of pirates had the possibility to take over this mess.

That group of people also possessed such powerful individual combat power. Although they were very backward in technology, they were like Epic Beasts, naturally mastering force fields and energy attacks. They were very bizarre and mysterious. Kubo even suspected that they were figures from another Universe.

As soon as Kubo thought of that group of terrifying perverts, he couldn’t help but shiver. He quickly cut off the thoughts in his mind; escaping was the priority right now!

Once the black-clad leader died, Kubo, as the second-in-command, naturally took over the command power. He decisively gave the order to retreat: “Everyone, ignore the remaining supplies of the Galaxy Flight, retreat immediately!”

If he didn’t retreat, Kubo might be the second target to be slaughtered. Having just taken power, he didn’t want to lose his life for no reason.

This order exactly suited the pirates’ wishes. In an instant, all the pirate spaceships retreated cleanly, leaving only a lonely Galaxy Flight there.

Pirates came to rob things, not to die. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was their code of conduct.

Wearing the Night Demon Mecha, Lin Lei floated quietly in space, not chasing after the pirates who were like stray dogs. He didn’t want to hunt them down, and he couldn’t catch up either. The speed of pirate spaceships that had activated Warp Flight mode was simply not comparable to that of a Mecha. Because a Mecha was too small in size, it was impossible to fit a Warp Engine or a Space Jump Engine.

The main function of a Mecha was space combat, not traveling. Lin Lei was clear about this.

Although this battle had the System’s assistance, the entire battle plan was formulated by Lin Lei instantly. The System only played a supporting role, so there was still a battle evaluation, and it was an A-level, which meant ten points of authority value. This brought Lin Lei’s Level 3 Strengthening authority to 26/300.

“Annis, you temporarily take my post. I will personally go and bring him back to the Galaxy Flight!” Once the pirates retreated cleanly, Captain Lucius directly gave the order. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his slightly trembling hands still revealed his inner excitement.

This person not only saved the lives of everyone on the ship but also saved him and his clan.

He was the captain of this Galaxy Flight. If unpredictable consequences really occurred, regardless of whether he lived or died, he would have to bear the greatest responsibility. Not only would he have to bear an indelible crime, but his race, the Orlantis People, would also lose face.

Now none of this happened. The Galaxy Flight only lost some supplies, which was already the best result.

Right, supplies. Lucius had just taken two steps when he patted his head, turned back, and said to the flight chief mate Annis: “During the time I’m away, you also calculate the flight’s losses. I hope these greedy pirates haven’t gone too far.”

“No problem, Captain!” Annis, an Apocalypse Person, responded and began to direct the personnel to calculate the flight losses.

Along the way, Lucius tried to build up his psychology, considering what attitude to use to face that powerful warrior later. Who was he? Where did he come from?

Lucius had a vague answer in his heart, that he was a warrior of a level 11 civilization. Although it was a bit unreliable for a warrior of a Watcher Civilization to take his flight, there was no more reasonable answer now.

The Night Demon Mecha had already returned to the Galaxy Flight, right on the flight’s spaceship landing platform. The spaceship landing platform was now overcrowded.

Of the nearly 20,000 passengers, at least 80% had come. The flight encountered pirates, and everyone was worried about their lives, but the pirates’ panicked retreat, coupled with the news on the spaceship network, made most people know that a hero had appeared on the flight.

So they gathered here, wanting to witness the glory of this powerful warrior.

Lin Lei, driving the Night Demon Mecha, could not move an inch in the crowd, so he simply stayed still. He was not confident in controlling the Mecha’s power, and it might lead to a tragic situation where raising a foot would kick someone into mush.

What Lucius saw was this situation of a standoff between people and machine.

“You go over and maintain order on the landing platform!” Lucius quickly instructed the followers beside him. He himself, with the help of the spaceship staff beside him, struggled to squeeze through the crowd and came under the motionless Night Demon Mecha.

The Night Demon Mecha was six meters high, with a pitch-black Demon image all over. Its two scanning light eyes were also blood red. Even now, standing there motionless, there was still a solidified aura surrounding it, forcing the surrounding crowd back to five meters away.

Lucius tried his best to maintain his composure, walked two steps closer to the Night Demon Mecha with all his might, endured the high pressure in his heart, and said with a trembling tone: “Powerful warrior, I am Lucius, the captain of the YC0056 Galaxy Flight. I am honored to travel with you!”

Inside the Mecha, Lin Lei breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a guy who could talk came. He opened the Mecha’s back hatch and jumped down from the Mecha.

Lin Lei was dressed in black casual clothes. His hair was slightly messy from controlling the Mecha, his black eyes radiated a frightening light due to the bloody battle just now, and his resolute face made him exude a mixture of iron-bloodedness and vicissitudes, instantly becoming the center of everyone’s attention.

At least Lucius had to admit that although this guy wasn’t very handsome, he was born with a heroic spirit.

“Hello, Captain of the Galaxy Flight. My name is Lin Lei, an Earthling!” Lin Lei never concealed his identity as an uncivilized race. Even though he knew from Fuweili’s uncle that he was an exile, he disdained to hide it.

When Lin Lei escaped from Earth, he was just a high school student. Relative to interstellar civilization, he was no different from an illiterate. He only possessed a System that could strengthen his body. So for a long time, while helpless, he was also used to speaking with savagery and violence.

He only sought to take things straight, why bother to fawn and bend for others? He only hoped that one day, Earthlings could truly gain the respect of interstellar civilization, and he could proudly say: I, am an Earthling!

“Earth? Where is Earth?” Lucius’s reaction was exactly the same as Richard’s; he didn’t know which planet Earth was at all.

“The third spiral arm of the Galaxy, the third planet of the star numbered LD532. Earth is what I call my home planet.” This was the second time he introduced it to someone today. Lin Lei’s tone was not very good, although he knew Earth was indeed unknown.

Lucius frowned and thought for a while before saying in an uncertain tone: “Forgive my ignorance. Is the Earth you speak of an uncivilized planet that was destroyed by the Layite People two years ago?”

“Yes, I’m honored you can remember. So what do you plan to do next?” Lin Lei narrowed his eyes and said to this Orlantis Person in a casual tone.

For some reason, Lin Lei’s casual posture brought even greater psychological pressure to Lucius. In his eyes, Lin Lei’s casualness was like an Epic Beast looking down at him, seemingly leisurely, but able to crush him to death like an ant at any time.

Lucius swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty: “No, no matter where you come from, you saved me, saved the lives of everyone on our flight. I think Earth will be proud of you.”

Lucius now completely lacked the composure he had when talking to the pirates about the Star Alliance Law. As far as he knew, people from uncivilized planets were very savage and unreasonable. If things didn’t go their way, they would use their fists.

He looked at Lin Lei’s strong and tall body, and then thought of his invincible combat power just now, he couldn’t help but shiver.

The passengers on the flight reacted differently to Lin Lei’s confession. There was shock, disdain, fear, and even hostility. The passengers whispered to each other, and an uncontrollable commotion arose.

Lucius finally reacted. This guy still had some human touch. He shouted loudly to the passengers: “Didn’t you come to see a hero? This is the hero who saved us from disaster!”

“Yes, he is powerful, but an Earthling is a prisoner of war of us Layite People. This guy is an exile. Captain, I suggest you repatriate him to the Layite People’s prisoner control area!” A voice came from the crowd. After being translated by the translator, it was not known exactly where it came from, but obviously, the speaker was a Layite Person, a damned Double-Pupiled Person!

This time, even Lucius was angered into laughter. This damned guy couldn’t read the situation? And how could a person from a civilized world do such an ungrateful thing in the blink of an eye?

“Enough, that is your Layite People’s business, it has nothing to do with me! Now, this powerful warrior is a distinguished guest on the flight. If anyone has a different opinion on my decision, they can go to the Star Alliance to report me,” Lucius said loudly.

Then he turned around, bowed respectfully to Lin Lei, and said: “No matter what others think, at least you are my guest, and here, I am the captain of the Galaxy Flight! Powerful warrior, please follow me.”

This Orlantis Person was not bad. Lin Lei smiled slightly, nodded to Lucius, and followed him up.

The crowd automatically opened a passage, watching Lin Lei follow the captain away with complicated eyes.

The group came to the main control room of the flight. Lucius called over Chief Mate Annis, who was commanding the spaceship personnel, and introduced him to Lin Lei: “This is the flight’s chief mate Annis, an Apocalypse Person. Annis, this is the powerful warrior driving the Night Demon Mecha. I think you must want to meet him very much.”

Chief Mate Annis saw Lin Lei and was obviously a little stunned, but he quickly reacted. He actually should have known it was this guy. In the Starry Corridor, he had already displayed amazing combat power.

Annis walked quickly to Lin Lei and said enthusiastically: “Thank you for saving the entire flight. When I first saw you, I thought you and Miss Fuweili were a perfect match. It’s a pity her uncle has poor taste!”

Lin Lei thought of this guy, the Apocalypse Person who was beside Fuweili’s uncle in the Starry Corridor. He didn’t expect him to be the chief mate on the spaceship, but his words made Lin Lei’s heart darken.

He waved his hand and said: “I appreciate your kind words, but I still haven’t obtained the status of a legal citizen of the Galaxy. I’m still a black household. It’s only natural that her uncle disagrees.”

Lucius, who was silent at the side, spoke up at this moment: “Mr. Lin, with your skills, there is absolutely no problem in obtaining legal citizen rights of the Galaxy. At least our Orlantis Star welcomes powerful warriors like you very much.”

Annis was not willing to be left behind: “Our Apocalypse is the same. As long as you agree, Apocalypse Star will give you the highest level of citizen rights. By then, Miss Fuweili’s uncle will have no reason to stop you.”

Powerful figures like this were welcomed by every civilization. Lin Lei displayed many incredible aspects during the entire battle process, such as cracking the Mecha’s personnel binding and seizing control of that Zhou-F spaceship, all completed in a very short time. Insightful people could see the technical content at a glance.

In these details, this Earthling was also incredibly strong!

Lucius was a bit annoyed. He brought Lin Lei to the spaceship main control room with the intention of recruiting him. Now this Apocalypse flight chief mate was competing with him for people, and even brought up a woman. And looking at Lin Lei’s reaction, this woman had a very heavy weight in his heart!

Just as the flight captain and chief mate were about to confront each other, a spaceship loss report disrupted everything.

“What did you say? The spaceship’s energy has been drained by 90%, and there isn’t even enough energy for one jump?” Lucius widened his eyes and asked loudly.

The flight staff member felt extremely wronged. He didn’t drain this energy, so what was the use of questioning him? But he still had to explain the seriousness of the problem, which was his duty.

“In fact, the fresh water on the flight is less than 20%, the Space Jump Engine was also dismantled by pirates, and the Subspace communicator was also destroyed. Because the flight energy is insufficient, the fresh water circulation system, food machine, and air circulation system on the flight cannot work normally. The remaining food, water, and air on our flight can only last for half a month.”

The staff member paused, looked at Captain Lucius’s iron-blue face, and said with a stiff scalp: “Also, due to the interference of the supernova explosion, the power of the small spaceship’s Subspace communicator on the flight is insufficient to contact the Galaxy Network, so our rescue will arrive at least one and a half months later!”

The situation was very serious! That is to say, half a month later, if the flight did not reach an Earth-like planet, everyone on the flight would suffocate to death!

These damned pirates were so fast. In just this short while, they could move away so many things. They were really capable!

Lucius and Annis looked at each other and sighed in unison: “It seems we can only go to Black Prison Star to wait for rescue.”

Although the beasts on Black Prison Star were powerful, there was at least water and air. And on the flight, there was a warrior with explosive combat power! Even if Black Prison Star was full of Epic Beasts, purely for defense, there should still be a glimmer of hope.

“What kind of place is Black Prison Star?” Seeing the two guys looking miserable, Lin Lei was a bit strange.

“The lowest level beasts there have a Physical Energy Level of over 30, and the highest can reach a thousand. Most of them are Epic Beasts, mastering energy attacks and force field protection. That is definitely a terrifying place!” Annis sighed.

Lin Lei’s eyes lit up. This was a good place. The Physical Energy Level was so high, presumably, it could quickly improve his Level 3 Strengthening reserves and authority. He couldn’t wait.
