Cremation

About 1,580,000 lightyears away from the capital ring was a desolate asteroid belt.

Xia Fei hid Vampire behind one of the asteroids as he sat smoking a cigarette on the command deck while waiting.

Soon, his communicator's indicator lights flashed then started blinking. Xia Fei used the same method to turn on and off his communicator without answering, sending a signal to the other party, instead.

This method of communication by making the indicator lights blink rhythmically, varying in frequency and duration, was called the westminster code. It could only be used in short-distance communication. Given how transmissions were not safe in the universe, a randomly broadcasted signal could very easily be intercepted by other parties, unless a specific encryption method was involved; otherwise, there was a high chance of being found by an advanced signal scanner.
