Captain's room in Tiangong military area
Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun were waiting anxiously in the captain's room. Throughout the captain's room, many armed security personnel could be seen. These people were Du Xinmin's guards, a total of about thirty people.
Although Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun were somewhat mentally prepared, seeing the scene in front of them, they were afraid that the situation was more serious than they imagined.
"The captain invites you two," Du Xinmin's personal guard opened the bedroom door and looked at Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun outside the door.
Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun followed the guards into the bedroom. Although the Tiangong's ventilation system was quite advanced, the entire bedroom was filled with a strong disinfectant-like smell.
A group of medical staff were surrounding the bed in the distance. Numerous medical instruments were placed in every corner of the bedroom. The two of them could vaguely see the old and thin figure on the bed. That was the first captain of the Tiangong, Du. Xinmin.
"Captain" Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun came to the bedside and shouted softly. The surrounding medical staff also followed the guards out of the room. Only the two of them and the weak Du Xinmin on the bed were left in the entire bedroom.
"Are you here?" Du Xinmin smiled weakly. At this moment, he no longer had the majestic image of the past. He now looked as approachable as an old man in the market.
"Captain, why is your body like this...?" Tian Xiaoyun's eyes were a little moist.
Du Xinmin shook his head and said softly, "I know my body. The only things I can't let go of are the Tiangong and you two."
"Captain" Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun were choked up. A highly respected old general was still thinking about his mission at such a moment. This scene deeply touched their hearts.
"I have the great trust of the Chairman." At this point, the old general's eyes sparkled.
"Captain, everything is normal on the Tiangong now. Just rest assured and recover," Mi Shaotian held Du Xinmin's hand with protruding veins and said softly.
"You don't need to be easy on me. There's a mixed bag of good and bad people on the Tiangong. The Skull and Bones Society has not been investigated clearly. There are cliques in the military department. I can still control these people when I'm here. But I'm gone." , Zhuo Xin is alone... cough cough cough... "
"Captain, although Vice Captain Fan is not as good as you, he can still control those little ones. You really don't have to worry," Tian Xiaoyun said, stroking Du Xinmin's chest.
Du Xinmin shook his head, "He has been with me for decades, and I know his abilities. Unfortunately, I fell ill at the wrong time, leaving him with a mess full of holes.
You two are the people I trust the most. You must assist Zhuo Xin in protecting this ship. "
"But..." Mi Shaotian was hesitant to express his inner worries, but was stopped by Tian Xiaoyun's look.
The subtle movements of the two people did not go unnoticed by Du Xinmin. "Are you worried that Maxim will compete with Zhuo Xin for the position of captain?"
As he said that, Du Xinmin's eyes narrowed, and a bright light flashed: "If he can't control his own hands, cut him off. The Tiangong was built by our country with all its national strength, and outsiders will never be allowed to take charge. This is the bottom line!"
Mi Shaotian and Tian Xiaoyun were horrified when they felt the strong killing intent in Du Xinmin. The generals on the battlefield are generals no matter where they are. An aging tiger is still a tiger. As long as it touches the reverse scale, no matter how hard it is, Life will also bite the enemy's throat.
"One more thing... cough cough cough cough" Du Xinmin held Tian Xiaoyun's hand and coughed violently.

Area A7, Tiangong Hao living area
The Dragon Domain Bar was empty except for Fang Mobei and Heilong standing opposite each other. The floor-to-ceiling windows next to them had a panoramic view of the scattered street scene. Recalling that the last time the two of them stood here was two years ago, Fang Mobei had not gone to Tokta Planet yet.
"Your purpose in joining the Skull and Bones Society must not be simple." Black Dragon still held the wine glass as usual.
"You will help me, right?" Fang Mobei turned around and looked at the street scene outside the window. There were obviously more soldiers from the garrison patrolling the streets than before.
"Why do you think I will help you?" Heilong looked at Fang Mobei curiously.
"Because you and I are the same kind of people, and we don't have a sense of belonging here," Fang Mobei said lightly.
Heilong's eyelids twitched. Fang Mobei's words were like a heavy punch hitting his heart. He had never thought about this issue before.
He passed the exam, but he knew that what Fang Mobei said was true.
"You, like me, are not suitable for living in a dark world. I originally thought that the Tiangong was a paradise, but I never thought that the darkness here is far greater than that of the earth." Fang Mobei took a deep breath and said slowly.
"I sometimes think about what kind of world this world is. Power and money have darkened people's eyes. They use and are used, eat and be eaten. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"The world is originally a world where the weak eat the strong." Black Dragon put down his wine glass and nodded, "The world is unkind and treats everyone as pawns."
"Look at those poor children selling small commodities along the street. They should be studying in school."
"That's because their parents gave birth to them illegally. They are black households," Heilong said calmly, following Fang Mobei's gaze.
Heilong looked at those disheveled children as if he saw himself back then...
The streets of Tokyo are no longer as prosperous as they used to be. The government has allocated a large amount of funds to build levees to prevent rising sea levels. Rich people have already fled this declining country.
There are a large number of refugees and homeless people stranded on the streets. There are only a handful of police officers maintaining law and order here, but they can't do anything.
Local gangs have risen rapidly, squeezing the already impoverished refugees.
"Xiao Hei, did you gain anything today?" A boy with long hair walked over with a smile.
Xiao Hei squatted on the steps and stared at the huge space base in the sky in a daze. He looked at it like this all day long.
"Stop looking, do you think you can go up there in the future if you look twice?" The long-haired boy is as skinny as Xiao Hei, but he is a head taller than Xiao Hei. The two of them look like they have been suffering from chronic malnutrition. the result of.
"Brother, why can't we go up?" Xiao Hei looked at the long-haired boy innocently.
The long-haired boy wiped the stains on his face and said with a grin, "Only rich people can go up there, idiot, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Xiao Hei shook his head, but his stomach made a series of gurgling sounds. Xiao Hei covered his stomach and turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Give" the long-haired boy took out a piece of cake wrapped in plastic paper from his arms and said "Happy Birthday"
"Where did you come from?" Xiao Hei looked at the cake in his brother's hand, his eyes widened.
"Don't worry about it, eat it quickly." The long-haired boy handed the cake over, and then watched his younger brother holding the cake and gobbling it up. "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Xiao Hei grinned at the long-haired boy, but he never noticed that a piece of crumbs fell on his pants. The long-haired boy carefully picked up the crumbs and threw it into his mouth.
Xiao Hei watched this scene, swallowed a mouthful of cake with difficulty, and said, "Brother, have you eaten yet?" Then he put the remaining one-third of the cake to the long-haired boy's mouth.
"I've eaten, please eat quickly," the long-haired boy said, sucking the cream on his hand.
The long-haired boy looked up at the looming space base in the sky, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
In order to build the interstellar carrier, the Earth Federation mobilized all the resources in the world and squeezed every country, and Yamato was one of them.
Forced capital gathering will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. The economic crisis is a disaster that directly affects people's livelihoods. A large number of people have been laid off, there is a surplus of labor, and a large number of refugees have become the last straw to overwhelm the government's finances.
"Hey, we're hiring, we're hiring, you morons!" A man in the distance with dyed yellow hair and a group of boys shouted along the street to the refugees on both sides.
When the long-haired boy saw Huang Mao's gang coming towards him, he quickly stuffed a pendant worn around Xiao Hei's neck into Xiao Hei's collar. "You must collect the things your mother left for you." Okay, don’t let the bad guys rob you.”
"Hey, kid, where did your cake come from?" Huang Mao looked at the cake in Xiao Hei's hand and asked. It was obvious that this cake was definitely not bought by them.
"I gave it to them." The old woman sitting nearby came over and protected the long-haired boy and Xiao Hei behind her. The old woman also looked a little nervous. This group of gangsters had done all kinds of evil and had caused terrible harm to refugees like them.
"Get out of here." Huang Mao kicked the old woman to the ground, and then stepped forward to pull the long-haired boy.
Xiaohei behind.
It turned out that Huang Mao saw a pendant hanging around Xiao Hei's neck. With Huang Mao's eyes, he naturally discovered that this pendant was not comparable to the ones sold on the roadside.
Huang Mao pulled off Xiao Hei's neck with a wave of his big hand. "Oh, it's still pure gold." Gold is quite valuable in troubled times.
Xiao Hei cried loudly in fear. At the moment Huang Mao spoke, the long-haired boy's eyes flashed. He reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand and pulled out a dark yellow bullet knife. He skillfully ejected the blade. , and stabbed Huang Mao hard in the waist and abdomen.
Huang Mao and others never expected that a half-year-old child would actually hurt someone. Unprepared, Huang Mao only felt a stabbing pain in his waist and abdomen. Past experience told him that he had been stabbed.
"Ah -" Huang Mao's miserable cry, like a slaughtered pig, immediately attracted the attention of all the younger brothers. When they found out that the long-haired boy had stabbed his elder brother with a yellow knife, they rushed forward to help.
Although the long-haired boy was thin, he was very strong. He used all his strength to stir the knife into Huang Mao's body, which was why Huang Mao felt so painful.
The boys were divided into two groups, one group ran towards the clinic on the corner with the injured Huang Mao, and the other group took sticks and beat the long-haired boy.
The refugees on both sides of the street were attracted by the commotion here. When they watched this group of gangsters beating the long-haired boy with sticks, no one came forward to stop or help. They all watched silently and had nothing to do with themselves. .
Some mothers couldn't bear to see the horror of the beatings, so they turned away and covered their children's eyes.
"Brother -" Xiao Hei shouted hoarsely from the side. He wanted to step forward, but was hugged fiercely by the old woman who fell to the ground. Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes.
"Help us...save my brother" Xiao Hei shouted loudly, more like a cry than a cry.
No one around came forward to help. Looking at the child who died tragically in front of him, there was cold indifference in his eyes.
The gangsters groaned and walked away, leaving only a bloody corpse lying motionless on the ground.
The wild dogs around were sniffing the scent and preparing to come forward for a feast. In such a place where even people could not have enough to eat, these wild dogs were so hungry that they were as skinny as a stick. Not to mention corpses, even a living person was starving. I have to go up and take a few bites.
"elder brother… "
"Why is this happening..."
"Why don't you come and save us..."
Xiao Hei staggered to the body of the long-haired boy, still muttering in his mouth.
The old woman stood up with difficulty, looked at the tragically dead long-haired boy, and cried loudly, "These beasts!"
The originally clear sky was gradually shrouded by a huge dark cloud, raindrops as big as peas fell, and people around started packing their things and heading towards the temporary shed.
Soon there were no more people on both sides of the street. The rain washed away the body of the long-haired boy, and the bright red blood mixed with the rain stained Xiao Hei's rubber shoes.
The wild dog looked at the hysterical old woman beside him and then at Xiao Hei next to the body. Although he was extremely hungry, he still did not dare to step forward.
Xiao Hei's clothes were soaked by the rain. He watched the long-haired boy's right hand slowly squatting down. The long-haired boy's right hand was tightly holding the necklace that Huang Mao had snatched away.
This scene made Xiao Hei's body tremble uncontrollably, and a biting coldness penetrated and stirred in his heart like a knife.
The wild dogs finally couldn't resist their physical hunger. Finally, under the leadership of the leader, they pounced on the body of the long-haired boy, biting and feasting crazily.
Xiao Hei did not step forward to stop these wild dogs, because at this moment, his mind was blank.
The body of the long-haired boy was not enough to satisfy the appetite of a group of wild dogs. They finally stared at the thin Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei seemed to sense the thoughts of the wild dogs, and he slowly stood up.
Xiao Hei raised his head and looked at the group of wild dogs in front of him with a pair of bloodshot eyes. The group of wild dogs were frightened by the blood-red eyes. They backed away slowly and then quickly disappeared. In the rain.
The old woman looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. Xiao Hei actually scared off a group of ferocious wild dogs, but what she didn't know was that these wild dogs felt the demonic gaze coming from Xiao Hei's body.
