And what should we do with them? Bibiena asked when Lupo took out two snoring bodies from a secret niche, "And they look exactly like those jerks from the cave.

Well, we won't drink champagne; otherwise, they will take on their usual appearance, and it will be much more difficult to cope with them. Besides, we have to keep at least some of the holiday booze for ourselves. Let's start by tying them up with whatever comes to hand. Before he could finish with the prisoners, Lupo felt the floor tilt under his feet, and it became almost impossible to stand upright. "There's some kind of spider web clinging to our ship outside," Bibiena shouted from the head compartment.

"And we're popular today," Lupo said, sweating and throwing the massive bodies into the nearest vacant cabin. Closing the door, he ran to his wife, knocking over a bottle of champagne on the way, so that the fragrant liquid slowly spread across the smooth, shiny floor. By this point, their ship was almost joined by the same spaceship. The hull cracked, and warning signals rang, warning of a forced approach. Having tried all known combinations of operations in vain attempts to break away from the steel embrace, Lupo froze. He thought for only a second and then accelerated forward, towards the approach. The invaders, who did not expect this, loosened their grip for a moment, and Lupe was able to turn on acceleration, ramming the alien ship. Twenty ships raced after Lupo's spaceship, deftly maneuvering among clusters of angular, sharp-nosed asteroids. The Gentrians' energy cannons fired the most powerful charges, only miraculously missing the final target. This continued until the ships emerged from the stony fog of asteroids, finding themselves in open space in front of a gaping, oval-shaped black hole. Lupo's ship picked up speed and instantly dissolved inside a dark, cosmic spot.

Hurry up after him! "This idiot Lupo is not familiar with the law of black holes," the chief of the Gentry, who led the revenge operation, shouted over the video link. We have to catch up with him before he disappears into space and time. In fact, Lupo did not know that black holes changed the so-called hyper potential of matter every millisecond. In simple terms, this meant that the cosmic bodies absorbed by the black hole were ejected each time to a new place in the universe. The end result of such a journey was not known even to the Gentrians. The bluish-green glow of a dozen fused stars illuminated the suddenly appearing hull of a silver spaceship. The slightly battered car glided smoothly through the airless space. Out of control and alone. Lupo was the first to regain consciousness. Lying on the floor, the guy slowly remembered who he was and why he was here. Having regained his memory to the end, Lupo was wildly afraid for Bibi and jumped up, screaming. Young Bibiena was lying unconscious, curled up in a ball.
