The wind in the wilderness continued to blow, and the roar of machines could be heard in the distance. Two old-looking flying cars arrived at the sleeping cabin that was abandoned on the ground, and then five people jumped out of the flying cars. When they saw that there was only an empty sleeping cabin left on the scene, their eyes couldn't help but sink.
A woman with light blond hair stepped forward to check and said, "The dormant cabin was opened manually by an outsider. Someone should have discovered her and taken her away. What should we do next?"
The other man with a curly beard was tall and strong, with a fierce aura. He looked gloomily into the distance with a pair of vicious eagle eyes and said: "Of course we have to find that woman so that our sacrifice will not be in vain." So many brothers kidnapped her, and if they can't deliver the goods, the other party won't pay, so what's the use?"
He didn't look good. In fact, when he found out that the dormant cabin was empty, everyone present didn't look good either.
They are a group of interstellar wanderers who dare to do anything as long as their employers are willing to pay. They are lawless thugs in the eyes of the world. They have no nationality, no identity, and no place to live. The interstellar is where they live. They only care about money. Even if the federal empire joins forces to encircle and suppress them, there is nothing they can do. Compared with those territorial-minded pirates, interstellar thugs have no fixed residence and can live happily anywhere as long as they have money.
This time they received a mission to take away a cub from Qilazhou Star. There were people on the other side to cooperate with them, but because they were too close to the explosion, several of their brothers died. Then there was the escape, only to encounter another group of star thieves along the way.
As a result, the dormant cabin was lost, and they immediately followed the trajectory of the dormant cabin's landing to this barren and desolate planet, but unexpectedly they arrived a step too late.
Another attentive companion went to check and said: "Boss, there are no traces on the ground. It is impossible to tell which direction the other party went." There is barren land on all sides, leaving no traces to follow. It is really impossible. Easy to find.
The bearded man said to the woman next to him: "Check the nearest human city from here. They should be heading to the human city."
The woman responded and began to flexibly call up the terminal to inquire. After checking it again, she frowned and said, "Boss Li, I'm sorry, this planet has a special magnetic field, which interferes with the terminal's signal and cannot be queried."
It was really a leak in the house and it rained all night. The bearded black brow furrowed tightly. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Divide into two groups of people and search around for me. I must find them! If their whereabouts are discovered, Use special equipment to communicate.”
They are a group of desperadoes who have been to many strange planets. Naturally, they will prepare some special communicators that can not be interfered by magnetic fields within short distances. Of course, apart from being able to communicate within short distances, they have no other use.
Everyone responded with a yes, and quickly allocated the manpower and walked in two directions.
At this time, Sese and the boy had already arrived at the gate of a city. Sese didn't notice that the person who didn't look like a good person was chasing after him. She breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second she asked the boy again.
"Who are you and what is this place?"
"Planet Beman, my name is Gerald," the young man who got the star coins said honestly. His eyes have also changed from calculating to extremely sincere, which will surely make the other party realize that he is harmless.
Sese didn't pay too much attention to his change of attitude, but searched in his mind where Beman's planet was.
"Beman Star? Where is it?" Sese had never heard of this planet at all.
After hearing this, Gerald knew that he was another person who had no memory of the Beman Planet. However, it was easy to understand that the Beman Star was just a barren planet on the edge of the Ophiuchus Galaxy, with very few resources. Unfortunately, there is no need to mine it. In addition, it is too close to the frontline battlefield. From time to time, Zerg will accidentally cross the frontline defense line and come here to wreak havoc. This makes the humans living here have constant wars all year round and do whatever they can to survive.
He was born in Beman Star. When he was born, his parents died and he was raised by an old man who scavenged. Later, the old man died and he lived alone.
He is twenty-five years old this year. Although he is still a teenager, he has developed good skills in this harsh environment. I came out today to try my luck and see if I could encounter any strange beasts or something like that. Who knew I would see a dormant capsule falling from the sky...
After listening and thinking for a while, Sese asked again: "How far is it from the Federation Star?"
After hearing this, Gerald knew that she was from the Federation. He couldn't help but curl his lips, and a feeling of hatred for the rich emerged in his heart, and said: "It's far away. It's several galaxies away. Even if you take a starship and jump continuously in space, , it will take a month." Seeing her looking at him expressionlessly, he added, "It's very poor here, and there are no special starships to communicate with other planets. If you want to leave, you can only wait for some passage. When the starships of the interstellar pirates come over, trade with them. If you can satisfy them, they will naturally take you away."
As for the consequences of leaving with the interstellar pirates, hey, anyone with a brain knows the consequences.
"This is a wilderness. At night, the temperature will drop to zero degrees, and there will be many scary beasts, and even bugs. Humans will not spend the night in the wilderness, it is too dangerous. Of course, if you don't mind, you can come with me Go back to the city and stay at my house for a few days. You gave me so many star coins, I won’t ignore you." Gerald said with a sincere face.
Sese has no other choice. For now, she can only find a place to stay and then find a way to contact Uncle Lu.
This is a black city. The human city built in this black scorched earth has a color similar to that of the land, making it inconspicuous.
There is no need to check your identity when entering the city, as long as you can afford the entry fee, the policy is quite tolerant. However, you can only afford the food, clothing, housing and transportation after entering the city. If you can't afford it, you can use your ability to steal and cheat, as long as no one is killed. If you don't have the ability, just get out of the city.
Therefore, this city where humans live is both evil and maintains human safety. The humans living here are all fierce and calculating. It is no wonder that after Gerald found out about Thurse, his first reaction was to sell him. Dump her for money - he's crazy poor.
After painfully paying the city entry fee for two people, they drove the speed car into the city. After flying in the city for another ten minutes, they turned into a narrow and cramped alley, and then stopped in a building with peeling off walls and stained Stopping in front of the mottled house, Gerald jumped out of the speeding car.
"Hey, Jela is back? What did you gain today?" A dirty head poked out of the next door house, and a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face looked at him with evil intentions.
Gerald rolled his eyes and sneered: "I'm very unlucky today. I didn't find anything. I may be hungry for a few days! Dad Clay, why don't you just squeeze me in for a few days? Wait until I make money. Pay it back to you right away?”
With a bang, the door next door was closed.
Gerald sneered and opened the door, then said to the people in the car: "This is my home, you can come down."
Sese jumped off the speed car and looked around curiously. She frowned slightly at this place that was not only cramped but also dirty. She couldn't stand the weird smell of garbage piled in the corner. Maybe it's because she has been here for so long and has been exposed to relatively wealthy and civilized planets. Needless to say, the city appearance. When she saw the so-called slums for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She even thought ignorantly, "Isn't it clean?" Do robots dispose of urban garbage
"What? Dislike it?" Gerald led her into the room, closed the door, and at the same time covered up the malicious eyes from outside.
Seeing her expression like this, I thought she disliked the environment here, and her hatred of rich people came back again, so I couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic.
"No, it's just why there's no cleaning robot?" Sese asked.
Gerald looked at her speechlessly, secretly thinking that this must be a pampered young lady from some big family in the Federation who could be so ignorant. I wonder if she can give her more reward now that I have helped her.
"There are few resources here. It's pretty good if humans can have enough food. How come there are such things? There are also cleaning robots, but those robots are not responsible for this kind of place."
"oh."
He led Sesu into his home. It was a small apartment with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. Half of the balcony was divided into a kitchen and half was used to dry clothes. The room is about 10 square meters in size, and the hall is 20 square meters in size. The bathroom is so small that there is no sink. If you need to brush your teeth and wash your face, you can go directly to the balcony.
After Sese observed silently, she withdrew her gaze and sat upright on the old and worn sofa in the living room. From this environment, we can know that this young man is really poor.
"I don't know what your living environment was like before, but this is the way it is here." Seeing Sesu frowning all the time, Gerald couldn't help but said, "It's good that the people of Beman Star have a place to stay, except The city lord and the bosses of those districts all have houses similar to mine."
"Then why don't you go to school?" Thurse still didn't believe that there wasn't even an interstellar liner here.
Gerald was amused by her: "Going to school? How can you have money? Let alone tuition fees. If a passenger ship comes, no one can afford the ticket."
"No one goes out to school?" Sese showed an incredulous expression, "Does the Federation not care?"
Gerald's expression was even more incredible than hers: "How do you think the Federation will care about this kind of thing?"
The cubs can receive three free bottles of nutrient solution every day and 100 star coins for a month, which is the best treatment the federation can give its citizens. Gerald became more and more curious about Thurse's origins, but he also knew that sometimes the more he knew, the quicker he would die.
"Okay, today we only have nutrient solution, one for each of us. Tomorrow morning we will go to the wilderness to try our luck and see if we can catch prey."
