Pirate's Loot

Xue Feng's words surprised Gu Fan. He had planned to answer truthfully.

However, just as he was about to blurt out the word, he stared at the other party's glass-like pupils.

In the end, he changed his mind.

"You are who you are, not a tool, and certainly not anything else."

Gu Fan's words made Xue Feng raise his head in confusion. In her logic program, such an evaluation was really difficult to understand.

After a moment, she said carefully, her expression filled with worry.

"I don't understand—"

"That's not important. You just have to remember what I said."

Hearing this, Xue Feng nodded as if he understood.

"Confirmed. The conversation just now has been recorded and stored."

At this moment, a low mechanical voice came from the communicator not far away.

"Reporting, the third stage of cleaning has been completed."

The reporter was the captain of the Iron Guards team who was executing this ground operation. After completing the overall strategic deployment, Gu Fan handed over the remaining targets to these robots that were in charge of relay commands.

As for himself, he focused on the two warlord-level Titans. Under the multiple rounds of bombardment from the two volcanic cannons, a large number of pirates flew into the sky together with their ridiculous fortifications and armor.

Currently, there were still five teams cleaning the various pirate gathering places on the surface. After all, the other party was only a group of pirates from a Level 2 Civilization. The overall progress could be said to be quite smooth.

Gu Fan was very satisfied with such news, and what the other party said next piqued his interest.

"In addition, we have discovered the pirates' warehouse. Please indicate how to deal with it."

"Needless to say, I'll have the engineering ship land near your team. Take as much as you can. Anyway, they don't need these things anymore."

"But we have to be quick. I don't want any troublemakers to appear."

At this moment, the huge hull of the Glory Queen was docked in the low orbit of the planet. According to the Ram Chamber Of Commerce, this was the base camp of the Piras Pirates and it belonged to the wild 7th Star Region.

As they were close to the trading center known as Soma No. 4, some bold merchants would choose to pay a large sum of star coins to the local pirates in exchange for a long-term fast passage.

However, pirates were pirates after all. It was better to believe in a dog than to believe in them. What happened to the Ram people was the best example.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan's gaze shifted to the holographic screen in the hall. The image received by the sensors had already been projected into it.

Other than the progress of the various teams, the center of the projection showed the information of the Ram people. It had to be said that these rat-like aliens were quite interesting.

In the video, the rats brought out all kinds of strange equipment from the crashed spaceship. For example, a few rat generators that looked like tyres which needed a few rats to run at full speed to generate electricity.

At the same time, these little things were especially proficient in inventions. Using the engine of the tank and the abandoned parts left behind by the pirates, they actually made a crooked moving Mech from the ruins. Due to the fact that some parts did not match in length and size, these rats even used their own hands to use their two small claws to pull the cables and parts. They treated themselves as one of the parts to cooperate with the pilot to barely ensure the operation of the Mech.

It had to be said that the technological level of these Ram people was really impressive. Overall, they were in a developed and primitive state. Other than being ridiculous, Gu Fan could not think of any other words.

…

…

Not long after, as the engineering ships sent to the surface of the planet returned to the deck of the warship one by one, other than the rows of iron soldiers, the wealth that originally belonged to the Pirate Clan was also packed up and brought back.

Looking at the dazzling spoils of war that were gradually piled up on the deck by the iron guards, although most of them were just some unqualified trash, Gu Fan gradually felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He began to gradually understand the mood of the pirates.

At the same time, two undamaged small frigates returned with them. They were the spoils of war that the pirates had plundered from other races and were docked in a corner of the deck.

Just as Gu Fan was curiously playing with the strange spoils of war, he saw that Xue Feng had already followed him.

Perhaps it was because she was quiet to begin with, but the gray-haired girl was like an elegant white cat. She would often make others unintentionally ignore her existence until the moment she spoke.

"May I ask what the next plan is…"

Upon hearing the question, Gu Fan retracted his attention slightly. At this moment, he was holding a rather violent modified chainsword in his hand.

This was a melee equipment similar to a chainsaw. In the past, the Human Empire had also equipped similar weapons on a large scale.

Facing the rapidly spinning blades, most enemies would be awakened from the primal fear in their hearts.

"Soma No. 4, I'm very interested in that place. I can sell this pile of trash and exchange it for some necessary supplies."

"If I'm lucky enough, I might be able to obtain information about Observers or other humans."

As he spoke, he had already lost interest in the toy in his hand and casually threw it aside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Feng stepped forward and expressed her opinion.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think this is a reasonable judgment. In the chaotic environment, it will be very difficult for the warships and the iron guards to provide support and protection for you."

"As the last human alive, I have an obligation to use all means to ensure your safety. In my opinion, you shouldn't leave the warship at will."

According to Ramchi's description not long ago, as a trade center under the control of Huan Yu Enterprise.

Due to its special geographical location, the internal forces of Soma No. 4 could be said to be complicated. Dangerous games involving interests and power played almost every day in that huge planet city.

Being in such a complicated and unfamiliar environment, his personal safety was obviously an unknown factor. Moreover, Gu Fan could not bring those iron guards with him at all times. After all, it was too conspicuous.

As for Xue Feng, as an AI commander, her individual combat ability was not outstanding.

In conclusion, Xue Feng's worries didn't sound unreasonable.

However, Gu Fan clearly had his own considerations regarding this.

"I'm not a prisoner trapped in a cage, but at the same time, I won't easily put myself in danger."

"Therefore, before we reach Soma No. 4, I need to make some preparations."

As he spoke, he slowly shifted his gaze to the two frigates that he had captured from the pirates.

It was obvious that he had already made up his mind.
