Chapter 131 Ma Xi sends Fu Ling and Chi Huan to the Red Star Ship Station
Chi Huan frowned, unbuttoned his clothes, and took out the small box from his inner pocket.
Fuling looked at the small box irritably, "Look for a sealed box. I don't have one in my space."
Chi Huan really took out a sealed box the size of a suitcase. Looking at the Bai Family Research Institute logo on the sealed box, Fuling looked at Chi Huan in disbelief.
Chi Huan touched his nose and said, "This happened when I was on a mission last time, delivering a message to the Bai family. I happened to encounter them transporting a batch of materials. I stole a box of materials."
Fuling looked at him with a complicated expression, "Has Bai Zhilan started targeting us since that incident?"
Chi Huan remained silent.
Fuling was speechless. Because of this box of materials, Bai Zhilan received a box of valuable materials that had been lost at the research institute. It was just that she had asked Xu Yanqing's men to help transport it to the research institute.
The person in charge of the transportation that day was Chi Huan. Fuling was not there that day because he had other tasks.
Bai Zhilan seemed to have taken notice of the two, and began to act sarcastic, often setting traps for them and whispering in Xu Yanqing's favor. This meant Xu Yanqing truly disliked Bai Zhilan and looked down on her. Fuling and Chi Huan were therefore safe and sound until now.
Chi Huan opened the sealed box without saying anything, and inside was a whole box of blue crystals.
Yes, blue crystal. Expensive blue crystal.
Fuling's eyes almost popped out of her head as she murmured, "No wonder. No wonder Bai Zhilan is staring at us so intently..."
She patted Chi Huan's shoulder vigorously with a serious face. "What was the mission you accepted that day?"
Chi Huan blinked and said innocently, "Send five boxes of valuable materials to Bai's research institute."
Fuling smiled and patted Chi Huan's shoulder vigorously. "Yes, Chi Huan, you can do it! You did a great job. Quick, put all these blue crystals into your compressed space."
Chi Huan blinked, squatted down, put half of the blue crystal into his compressed space, and stopped.
Fuling tilted her head and asked, "Hurry up and pretend, Ma Xi will be here soon."
Chi Huan, "It can't hold any more, it's full."
Poria: ...
Fuling squatted down speechlessly and put the remaining half box of blue crystals into his compressed space.
She lowered her head and was busy putting the blue crystal in, so naturally she didn't see the smile in Chi Huan's eyes.
Chi Huan's compressed space was quite large. He had consumed all his weapons, a few sets of clothes, and food at the Tuttle Building. How could he possibly not have space? He just wanted to put all the good stuff into Fuling's hands.
While Fuling was packing the blue crystals, Chi Huan rummaged through the space to find some soft blankets and insulation boards. After Fuling moved all the blue crystals out of the box, Chi Huan took out a small knife, cut the insulation boards, and placed the cut insulation boards on the bottom of the sealed box. He then wrapped the small box with a soft blanket and placed the small box in the hole dug in the middle of the insulation board.
After finishing everything, Chi Huan placed an insulation board on top of the sealed box and locked it tightly.
Fuling hugged her knees and squatted beside him to watch.
"When we leave later, are we just going to drag the sealed box with us?"
Chi Huan nodded, "Anyway, it can't be placed in the space."
Ma Xi pushed the door open and walked in with a tray in his hand, inviting the two of them to come over and have something to eat.
"The police department has run out of supplies a long time ago. These are things from the officers' homes. You just have to make do with what you have." Ma Xi brought two bowls of hot rice to the table.
Fuling, who hadn't eaten a hot meal for two or three days, picked up the bowl and started eating without saying a word.
Chi Huan, on the other hand, nodded politely to Ma Xi and thanked him softly.
Marcy waved his hand. "You two eat, I'll go to the lobby to stand guard. After you finish, you can rest. I've contacted the Starfleet Station. If a military field ship enters the port, the Starfleet Station will notify me immediately. I'll take you there then."
Fuling held the bowl and nodded to Ma Xi desperately. Ma Xi smiled and said, "Eat slowly. I'm going to the hall now. Call me if you need anything."
After Ma Xi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ma Xi knocked on the door again and came in.
Fuling and Chi Huan had also finished their meal and were drinking water from their cups.
Ma Xi smiled. "The good news is that the pirates' supply transport ship has arrived ahead of schedule and is entering the port. The bad news is that this batch of supplies doesn't contain enough energy, so we have to wait for the next batch to replenish it. The field ship lacks energy and cannot make the long journey to Blue Star. The pirates contacted us and said they want you to pay a sum of money before they will take you away. Alternatively, you can wait for the second batch of transport ships? It will take about three to four days."
Fuling's eyes flickered, and she seemed hesitant, suppressing her somewhat excited joy.
Chi Huan glanced at Fuling and said directly, "Let's follow the pirates' ship. The fact that they accepted Marshal Bradley's deal means we can still negotiate. Our mission has already wasted too much time. If we delay any further, I don't think our superiors will let us off easily."
Marcy sighed, "If you want to take the pirate transport ship, I can take you to the starship station right now."
Fuling looked at Chi Huan, then looked at the box on the ground, and nodded at Chi Huan.
Chi Huan understood and stood up and picked up the sealed box the size of a small suitcase.
Ma Xi glanced at it and then looked away. Ma Xi was old, and his curiosity had long since faded over the course of life. Experience had taught him that the less you know, the better you live.
Ma Xi took the two of them on an elevator directly to the aircraft landing point on the top floor of the Police Department, and sent Fuling and Chi Huan to the starship station on Red Star.
Starship Station.
Although the pirates said they came here to do business, their identities were sensitive. Each pirate had a unique mask on his face, and each person's mask was different.
Among them was a young man wearing black casual clothes and a half-face mask with pure black rose patterns. He stood at the front of the pirates.
The Red Star military was negotiating with him. The young man waved his hand, and a man wearing a black mask came out from behind him. The young man whispered something to him, and the man in the black mask led the Red Star military to the warehouse next door.
The young man wearing a black rose-patterned mask saw the aircraft of the Red Star Police Department flying from afar.
He tilted his head slightly, curiously examining the aircraft that had landed near them.
The young pirate was in a lazy posture, with his hands in his pockets, leaning lightly on the huge supply box behind him, looking at the old man and two young men who came down from the aircraft.
As the group drew closer, a glint flickered in the young pirate's eyes. A faint curve curved the corners of his lips as he murmured, "So, you two are here."
Ma Xi led Fuling and Chi Huan and walked in front of the young pirate.
"Sir, we are the ones who contacted you before. These two are from the Blue Star Federation. They are in urgent need of returning to Blue Star. Can we..."
Before Ma Xi finished speaking, Fuling walked towards the young pirate with a faint smile on her face.
"Young sir, the price is negotiable. As long as you can safely send us back to Blue Star, my friend and I will not be stingy."
The young pirate nodded, raised his hand slightly, and pointed to the hatch where their transport ship was unloading cargo. "Since you're so easygoing, I won't make things difficult for you. Go up. I'm in a good mood today. Fifty thousand star coins per person will be fine."
