Colonial Suit

To appease these few physicians, Bloodshot spent another fifty-odd star credits. Adding in the twins' treatment fees, he was practically penniless by the time he walked out of the medical facility.

Fortunately, the recently completed escort mission would bring him close to a thousand star credits in income. He wouldn't be completely broke.

The mercenary mission settlements were very humane. As long as the mission was completed and confirmed, the payment would be credited to the mercenary's account immediately, so they could repair their armor and replenish supplies in time. For most mercenary dependents struggling below the 'subsistence line,' this was life-saving money.

Bloodshot was the same. He now had more than nine thousand seven hundred star credits in his account, enough for him to splurge for a while.

Walking out of the medical facility, Jack was already waiting at the door in a speeder. But before Bloodshot could get into the car, the piercing roar of an engine came from a distance, and a silver speeder rushed over like lightning.

The silver speeder drifted to a stop at the entrance of the medical facility, and Bloodshot immediately saw a familiar steel figure.

It was a very ordinary strength-type armor, burly and sturdy in appearance, with a red hellhound symbol on the left shoulder. An image of a silver-haired beauty immediately appeared in Bloodshot's mind.

Siva.

"Eh? Why are you here too?" Seeing Bloodshot standing at the door, Siva was also surprised. But when she saw the twins on Bloodshot's shoulders, she suddenly understood.

"Oh, so they are your companions?"

"Yes," Bloodshot nodded lightly, not intending to get too involved with Siva, and was about to head straight for the speeder.

"Wait," Siva called out to him, her eyes showing an interested look. "I just got news that star pirates broke into the building? Did you see them?"

"Already dead," Bloodshot said without turning his head.

"Wow… impressive," Siva said in surprise. "I heard that guy was called Leike, a very fierce star pirate. I was planning to entangle with him for a while, but I didn't expect you to solve it so quickly. As expected of a mercenary who completed the escort mission alone."

Speaking of this, Siva showed undisguised fiery eyes. Mercenaries were a group that respected the strong, and the behavior of respecting and worshiping the strong had been integrated into their blood. Although Bloodshot had just arrived on planet T46, his name had been known by many mercenaries. Siva was no exception.

Especially after this incident, Siva knew how powerful this indifferent man in front of her was. This was more real than a thousand rumors.

But to her surprise, Bloodshot just shook his head.

"I didn't kill him."

"Eh?" Siva slightly opened her sandalwood mouth. "Who was it then? Who else can take down Leike of the Chaotic Star Region?"

"…………" Bloodshot was silent for a while, and found that the twins on his shoulders had no intention of speaking. So he didn't turn his head. "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Ah…" Siva didn't expect Bloodshot to reject her so bluntly, and her eyes widened in surprise. Her heart was bitter. With her almost perfect appearance and temperament, how many mercenaries usually wanted to get close to her? Now that she took the initiative to talk to Bloodshot, she was met with such a cold rejection, Siva felt that the world was about to be turned upside down.

But she couldn't say anything. Could she question Bloodshot why he didn't try to please her? Why wasn't he more enthusiastic?

Why should he?

After hesitating for a while, Siva finally couldn't say anything, and could only give up helplessly. Looking at Bloodshot's back as he walked towards the speeder, she muttered to herself.

"He really is a cold-blooded guy…"

"But… such a guy is the real man, right?"

Seeing that Bloodshot was about to get into the speeder, Siva's expression changed a few times, and she suddenly shouted loudly. "Hey! Wait for me to finish my work later, let's go for a drink together! My treat!!"

She didn't know if Bloodshot heard her, but he disappeared in a puff of smoke…

Siva stomped her foot hatefully and turned to walk into the medical facility.

Bloodshot's expression relaxed a little in the speeder. His indifference was mostly only for strangers, but he was much better to those close to him.

Beside him, the twin siblings sat with their mouths pouting, each holding a big apple to munch on.

These two apples were specially bought by Jack, a specialty of planet T46, each the size of a soccer ball, with a sweet, crisp taste. The twin siblings started munching on them as soon as they got in the car.

But they didn't look happy.

"That woman… is not good," Little Posie took a hard bite of the apple, as if biting someone's flesh. "She's got designs on Bloodshot, Brother."

"…………" Sister Mia took bite after bite of her apple, saying nothing. But those familiar with Mia knew that this meant she was angry. And when she was angry, someone would usually be unlucky.

"You two little guys, where did Siva offend you?" Bloodshot couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know how the twin siblings judged their friends. In his opinion, although Siva was beautiful, her personality wasn't annoying. He couldn't understand why the twin siblings were so hostile to her?

"She didn't offend us," Little Posie raised her head and looked at Bloodshot very seriously. "But she has ideas about you."

"What ideas?" Bloodshot asked.

"I don't know. But I can feel it," Little Posie scratched her golden hair in annoyance. "It's a very annoying feeling. I don't like her."

"Mmm, mmm," Mia reacted this time, nodding repeatedly in agreement with Little Posie's statement.

"You two are really…" Bloodshot shook his head, not knowing what to say.

But he didn't know that the twin siblings were very sensitive to this feeling. Because they had been wandering outside since they were young, trained to be killing machines. It could be said that they had never enjoyed warmth. But since meeting Bloodshot, the twin siblings had finally tasted being cared for. This was very precious to them, coupled with the seed factor of the combat subroutine. At this moment, the twins had already regarded Bloodshot as their most precious private property. Anyone who tried to peek at it would arouse their crazy hostility.

This psychology was very subtle, yet full of childlike innocence and simplicity. Of course, Bloodshot couldn't imagine it.

Looking at Bloodshot's absent-minded appearance, Little Posie rolled her eyes a few times. She took another bite of the apple, and then tentatively asked. "Um… Bloodshot, Brother, you and that woman named Siva aren't very familiar, right?"

"Of course," Bloodshot took out his smart device to browse his mission rewards, answering absentmindedly.

Hearing his answer, Little Posie's eyes lit up, revealing a smug smile. She and Mia exchanged glances, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

"Then…" Little Posie began her second test. "If that woman named Siva accidentally died, you wouldn't be sad, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Bloodshot stopped his operation and looked at the twin siblings strangely. "She's a mercenary, how could she accidentally die? Unless she encounters some very dangerous mission. But what does that have to do with me?"

Bloodshot's personality was very realistic, ignoring things that shouldn't be considered. He put all his energy into survival, which was also a habit left over from the apocalyptic life.

But he didn't notice that, with his answer, the twin siblings simultaneously revealed a hint of secret joy. The two secretly laughed.

"Crunch, crunch." The two siblings took big bites of the apple, and this time they were really happy.

Because he needed to rest, Bloodshot still needed to stay on T46 for a while. So Jack had already arranged accommodation for them. It was a hotel under the local mercenary forces.

The hotel was very luxurious, fully automated. When Bloodshot returned here, a waiter greeted him and led them to the arranged room. The room was on the thirty-eighth floor, in a very high position, from which you could almost overlook the entire airport.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Bloodshot saw dozens of large and small spaceships slowly entering and exiting on the endless metal platform, and several docked at the pier. Tens of thousands of people were busy like ants, operating various mechanical works. Among them, Bloodshot saw the Medusa at a glance.

He saw many aircrafts rapidly orbiting its huge hull, bursting out with blue welding sparks from time to time. The bow, which had been scarred by the collision, was being repaired. It was already showing initial results. What surprised Bloodshot the most was that, for some unknown purpose, Old Harry had actually installed a new ram on the bow of the ship.

This was a bit too exaggerated…

Looking at that ram full of antique flavor, Bloodshot was speechless about Old Harry's bad taste. Even he, with his lack of knowledge, knew that it was almost impossible to use it in actual combat. Because the current battles took place between individual soldiers with absolute force, could he expect to ram a cosmic mercenary to death with this thing?

Moreover, the quality of the ram would affect the performance of the spaceship. It was also very difficult to operate. It had been eliminated a long time ago. He really didn't know what Old Harry was going to do.

However, Bloodshot thought the ram looked quite good, giving the Medusa transport ship a unique flavor. It looked more like an original warship.

In addition to the Medusa, the scenery of the airport was also very good. Because large ships could not land directly on the planet's surface, unless it was a tourist city, airports were generally built in outer space. It was a synchronous satellite, connected to the ground only by a sky bridge. From Bloodshot's point of view, he could not only see the scenery of the universe, but also appreciate the beauty of planet T46.

Planet T46 was a resource-rich planet, rich in various metal minerals. But the environment was very suitable for human survival. The air composition was rich in oxygen and various trace elements, which could be directly breathed. Below the airport, planet T46 slowly rotated, and you could see the outlines of the sea and mountains. At the same time, there were clouds and storm eyes, which looked very shocking.

"It's so beautiful…" Bloodshot praised. He turned around.

He happened to see the twin siblings sneaking out.

"What are you going to do?"
