Chapter 23: Killing And Silencing
In an empty universe, suddenly a white light flashed, and a YT-1000 Light Freighter emerged from hyperspace.
This spaceship is naturally the Lancer where Tang Xiao and the others are located.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finally escaping from Mygeeto, and Tang Xiao almost collapsed. He climbed out of the turret and collapsed to the ground. Trent quickly unfastened his seat belt and ran over from the cab to help him up.
"Thanks to you, we survived." Trent looked at Tang Xiao and smiled.
"We escaped? We escaped hahahahahaha!!" Quinto, who was on the co-pilot, raised his hands in disbelief.
He unbuttoned his seat belt and jumped up, "We succeeded! We succeeded! We can actually break through the defense line of Planet Mygeeto, hahaha! You must know that no one has ever committed a crime on Planet Mygeeto. I can escape!!"
Tang Xiao didn't even have the strength to speak. He sat on the ground and pointed weakly at the cargo hold, asking them to check on Semid's situation.
Trent nodded and first arranged for Spade to overhaul the spaceship and recycle the Shield because no one knew what was waiting in front of them.
"I think we'd better find a place to rest and replenish ammunition and fuel," Quinto suggested.
"My suggestion is, don't. This Semid is a hot potato, and it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible. If we find a planet to land, there is a high possibility of accidents." Trent shook his head and said.
After a while, the T-850 picked up the person like a chicken. It was only then that Tang Xiao and the others saw that their target was a timid Muun man who was also wearing a monocle. He looked cowardly and weak, completely different from the vicious person they had imagined.
"According to the rules, we don't ask about his affairs at all, let's contact Hego first." Trent said and took out the communicator that Hego gave them before.
This thing is temporary at first glance, as long as the transaction is completed, throwing the communicator away will completely cut off the connection.
The communication was connected, and the tall figure of Hego Damask II appeared in the projection, "You have received Semid, very good."
Seeing Hego, Semid became more and more frightened. As a Muun man, his 1.9-meter height almost shrank into a ball, "He...Master Hego. I have already succeeded...The transaction record of the Hill Family is here." He pulled out a storage device.
"Very good, you will get a good reward." Hego made a pun, but when he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Trent.
Semid whispered: "Yes...then according to the agreement, can I..."
"Kill him." Hego looked at Trent, and this cold word came from under the metal mask.
"Master Hego! Please spare me! I have completed the agreement..." Semid knelt down when he heard the words, begging bitterly.
Trent frowned, he hesitated. It was definitely not his style to kill an unarmed and innocent person.
"We should do it right away, this is the rule," Quinto whispered.
Hego Damask II didn't say a word, just looked at this side coldly.
Trent raised his pistol, but he still couldn't shoot it. However, at this moment, suddenly there was a gunshot next to him! Semid fell to the ground. Trent suddenly turned his head, only to see that it was Tang Xiao who fired the gun, and there was still a wisp of smoke from the muzzle of a Revolver in his hand.
"Hehe...that's all." Trent smiled wryly, then turned to look at Hego, "It's done, I've already killed him."
"Hehehehe..." Although he couldn't see his expression wearing a metal mask, Hegp still let out an ugly laugh, "Not bad, very good! Hahahaha! Next, go to Planet Lothal, as agreed to get you a reward."
Trent snorted coldly, pointed at Semid's body on the ground and asked back: "This person should also act according to the agreement with you? Has he been paid?"
"It's very simple, he knows too many things, and you... still don't know anything. Come to Planet Lothal, otherwise, you will find a vast Galaxy, but you can't find any place to stand. Hahahaha..." Hego Damask II sneered for a while and cut off the communication.
Trent came to Tang Xiao's side, sighed softly and said, "Supreme Commander, you made the right decision. I'm sorry, I hesitated just now and almost ruined the big thing." He looked obviously a little disappointed.
"He's still alive, let's deal with it quickly." Tang Xiao said weakly, unable to open his eyes. The continuous use of the Force has almost drained his spirit, and he has just awakened to the Force as if you let a kindergartener run 10,000 meters.
Trent's eyes lit up, and he hurried back to check and found that Semid was still alive, so he immediately brought the medical kit for emergency treatment.
"I used a live ammunition weapon, and I used the original force to help me aim at his non-lethal position. At this distance, the bullet will directly penetrate the body, so it should be okay to rescue him in time." Tang Xiao added.
"Okay, the bleeding has stopped, and now I have regained my life for the time being, but it must be treated immediately." Trent straightened up and said after treating the Muun man's wound.
"We don't have time to send him to a certain planet for treatment, you guys should think of a way." Tang Xiao whispered.
"Carbon condensation cabin! We can seal him in the carbon condensation cabin! This spaceship happens to have carbon condensation equipment." Quinto said suddenly.
Just do it, T-850 picked up Semid and followed Quinto to a small warehouse, Quinto pressed the switch, countless sprays sprayed out, and soon sealed Semied in a half-metal half The gray substance of the rock inside. Then stuff this carbon clot into a pile of cargo and hide it, which is foolproof.
The technology of the carbon condensation cabin is similar to freezing hibernation, but it is more thorough than freezing hibernation. At first, this was the technology used for ultra-long-distance voyages. Later, people invented the hyperspace engine, and carbon chambers gradually withdrew from the market. Now they are often used to imprison fugitives {Note 1}.
"I'm sorry I misunderstood you just now, Supreme Commander. I really didn't expect you to..." Trent came to Tang Xiao, held his hand and apologized.
If he was playing games now, Tang Xiao should be able to see Trent's loyalty gradually increasing.
"Don't think too much about me, I just left a hole card for ourselves. Well, I have to go to sleep for a while." Tang Xiao patted Trent on the shoulder and came to the cot next to him, laid down and fall asleep almost immediately.
"Let's start as soon as possible. It's still far away to go to Planet Lothal. We have to go to the Hydian Way first, and then turn to the Corellia Way. There is not much fuel left. Hego must have calculated this correctly before sending us to the distant Loen planet to deliver the goods." Quinto said to Trent.
"No way, the matter has come to an end, let's go." The Trent nodded, returned to the driver's seat, sat down, and fastened the seat belt.
