chapter 12
The explosion came suddenly, but Si Nian had a feeling that Louis had expected it.
Especially after he saw Hank pull out a gun-like weapon without hesitation, this suspicion became more and more certain.
The opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers, but in terms of overall strength, it is still their side that is slightly superior, Hank alone is enough to resist the opponent's attack, and Louis is ready to put a cold gun on the side, and the sneak attack technique is too good not to be wanted.
Si Nian was sitting in the car at this time, more like a bystander to this battle.
Not long after the battle began, Louis opened a kind of emergency shield inside the car, completely enveloping him inside, and the vibrations and sounds outside were only faintly audible.
After a while, the outside world was completely quiet, and Louis lifted the protection of Si Nian.
Through the side window, Si Nian could still see the tragic scene after the war, some red blood stains and broken limbs were scattered haphazardly on the ground.
Louis and Hank had a look of indifference on their faces, and it was clear that such skirmishes were a common occurrence for them.
Si Nian didn't think that Luis and they were killing innocents indiscriminately, after all, this group of people gave them a fierce attack as soon as they rushed up, and they were just legitimate defense. He only suddenly felt a little guilty, he had been with the team for so long, enjoying the fruits of their hunt with peace of mind, but never asking about the hardships of the process. Even if he was able to grow Chinese cabbage later and had a different capital, could this really offset their care and protection for him?
For a while, Si Nian was a little silent.
Louis naturally noticed that Si was not in good shape, and thought that the other party was frightened by the brief conflict that had just happened. Unfortunately, now is not the time for consolation, and Luis can only increase his horsepower and return to the settlement.
Along the way, there were several other assassinations, all of which were suppressed by force by Louis and Hank. The clever ones saw that they couldn't get any benefits from them, so they quickly slipped away, and as for those stubborn, they added a strong touch to the murderous reputation of Louis and others.
Si Nian also realized the most terrifying part of the garbage star in this killing again and again.
What water sources, food, and harsh environment are still secondary, and the most terrifying thing on the garbage star is actually the greedy and sinister human heart.
When he arrived at the gate of his house, Si Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Louis held his hand with some worry and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm already home." β
Si Nian nodded reluctantly, his mood still not clear. However, seeing Louis's worried look, Si Nian pretended to be idle and slightly hooked the corners of his lower lip, indicating that he knew.
Of course, Louis will not be fooled by Si Nian's perfunctory, and after Hank got out of the car, Louis grabbed Si Nian's wrist and asked seriously, "Are you afraid of us?" β
Si Nian looked inexplicable, he really didn't understand what Louis meant.
Louis also obviously noticed that Si Nian's reaction was not what he expected, and while he was a little relieved, he became more and more confused.
"You're not afraid? Then why was you suddenly upset just now? Louis asked, "Don't say you're not unhappy, I've been very sensitive to your feelings since we made the contract." β
Si Nian's excuse for retorting came to his lips, but it was blocked back because of Louis's added words.
He opened his mouth, but there was no sound for a long time.
Louis didn't rush, just waited quietly.
Si Nian saw that he couldn't fool himself this time no matter what, so he could only bow his head and explain in a low voice: "I seem to have become a burden to you." β
Louis didn't expect to hear such an answer, and with a strange expression on his face, he said, "Why do you think that?" You've helped us a lot, and it's thanks to you that the Space Jump Device was able to be swapped this time! β
Si Nian still didn't raise his head, and his tone was still a little sluggish and depressed.
"I know, but I don't think it counteracts my past negativity. When I first arrived, I didn't make any contributions, but you never blamed me for it, and left enough room for me to adapt. But what about me? Instead of being grateful and reflecting, I felt as if it should have been...... I feel so bad. β
Louis couldn't understand Si Nian's logic, and it was rare for anyone to engage in such self-reflection on the garbage planet.
On Junk Star, if you feed someone who can't support themselves for free, that person may be grateful, but more people may think you're a fool or have other plans.
In short, they will always speculate on your purpose with the most vicious thoughts, and convert their favors into value or benefits in another strange way, and return them to you at the right time, if there is no time to meet them, well, you can feed your kindness to the dog.
This is the garbage star, a cruel place that borders on cruelty.
Perhaps it is precisely because the environment is so harsh that the folk customs here are not only fierce, but also more ruthless. It's like the attacks they just experienced, some of them may really know what good things they have in their hands, some of them may just hear about it and try their luck, and some of them just don't know anything and are instigated by others to find out the situation, and the real mastermind is still hiding behind it.
Louis couldn't understand Si Nian's thoughts, because he might never have felt sorry for simply because he didn't do a good job like this.
He pulled Si Nian over with the wrist he was holding, and his face was facing Si Nian like this, and the distance between the two was less than ten centimeters.
Sometimes, getting too close can give people a sense of β‘β‘, and if the two are not familiar and close enough, it can feel extremely awkward.
But I don't know why, Si Nian didn't feel embarrassed, his whole mind was attracted by those sapphire eyes, so he forgot about his troubles, his sorrows, and how to be embarrassed.
The sight did not last long, and Louis leaned his forehead against him.
He buried his head in Si Nian's neck and whispered, "You are already very good, so good that I don't even know how to describe it." You're nice, really nice......"
Louis kept repeating the phrase "you are good" in Si Nian's ear, like a gentle teacher encouraging his less confident students in the most tender way.
Under such reassurance, Si Nian completely walked out of the downturn just now.
Si Nian, who came to his senses, couldn't help but be a little shy.
Obviously, he is the older one, why is he being comforted by the other party every time?
In this way, the tangled Si Nian was led all the way into the villa by Louis, and the dominant power was in Louis's hands from beginning to end.
So, sometimes dominance or something really doesn't have anything to do with age.
Hank wisely didn't wait for them to go straight into the house, and when they entered, Wuhua was smiling gently, apparently already aware of the news of the successful deal.
"Next, I would like to announce the division of labor in the near future.
"In view of the fact that we have sufficient food reserves, Qiao will be responsible for continuing to hunt for food for the next time, and Uncle Hua will assist from the side. Hank and I were mainly responsible for the overhaul and installation of the space jumping device. Lu Sheng is responsible for forging our new identity, and you don't need to be realistic to make it, but it must be enough to last us for three months. As for Si Nian, you are responsible for continuing to grow cabbage and our daily life. Do you still have any doubts about your work? "As soon as Luis got in, he assigned tasks to everyone.
Everyone shook their heads in unison, indicating that they were quite clear about what they were going to do next.
For a while after that, everyone was extremely busy. Probably knowing that time is pressing, everyone is eager to use all their resources to increase their leverage.
Finally, half a month later, Luis ended his first simulation, and the results were even better than expected.
With this successful simulation, everyone has more confidence in breaking out of the garbage star.
However, before they officially left, Si Nian proposed a proposal to Louis, and after careful consideration, Louis adopted it. So, the final result was that Xu Wei was invited to them and had a very secret negotiation.
The outcome of the negotiations was naturally a win-win outcome to the satisfaction of both sides.
Seeing off Xu Wei and his right-hand men, Wuhua stood in the dark and asked Louis, "Do you know why you didn't take such a simple question into account, but Si Nian took it into account?" β
Louis replied unhurriedly, "Because I am not like him, thinking about how to minimize the loss." β
Wuhua sighed and said, "Yes." Si Nian has a lot of shortcomings, and in a place like Junk Star, it would be difficult for him to even survive without us. But he has one thing that we don't have, and that is kindness. Although it is inevitable that some times will be too naΓ―ve, but how easy is it to maintain a pure heart from beginning to end? I don't mean that I ask you to be like this, the environment you are in is different, and the problems you will face in the future will be different, if you are like Si Nian, you may end up being gnawed into scum by those who split up. β
Perhaps thinking about what to say next, or leaving enough space for Louis to imagine what it would be like to be gnawed to the point that there was no scum left, Wuhua paused a little here, and then continued: "The reason why I am telling you this is to sue you that it is too rigid and easy to break. Not everything has to be fought to the death. A lot of things, in fact, can be completely like this one, there is a win-win option. β
Louis knew that what Wuhua said made a lot of sense, but he also had his own opinion on the matter.
"I know what you mean, but alas, people like me may never learn how to be lenient to others in their lifetime. But what does it matter? It's enough for me to have a division. β
Louis didn't explain it more clearly, but Wuhua already knew the hidden meaning that he hadn't spoken.
Si Nian is Louis's kindness, and it is the only good thought that Louis lives in this world.
When Si Nian lives, Louis's good thoughts live, and when Si Nian dies, Louis's good thoughts ......
Wuhua sincerely hopes that Si Nian can live a long life.
No, it is better to live with heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and moon......
