As soon as Louis raised his hand, the surroundings fell silent.

He looked at the man in front of him.

This is a teenager who is out of step with the garbage star.

He was wearing a very ordinary black T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, which was refreshing, clean, neat, and exuding a sense of luxury.

Like so many Imperial students.

Just by looking at his appearance, Louis can tell that he is not the original inhabitants of the garbage planet, and the group of people behind him can also tell.

The other party was not wearing protective clothing, and judging by the accessories, he was not wearing any protective □□, so why did he not receive the danger of radiation?

In addition, what makes Louis even more incomprehensible is that he can fully understand what the other party says, but the mouth shape is wrong, which shows that the other party should wear a very high-quality language translation software. But the translation software that can not be stored by him is impossible for ordinary people to use, how can such a person be exiled to the garbage star?

Could it be that he lost the power struggle of the family?

This possibility is not ruled out.

"How did you end up on the path of the rat tide?" Louis asked.

"Rat tide? Is that the big rat just now? Si Nian asked rhetorically.

The red-haired young man beside Louis chuckled and replied, "Those aren't big rats, let's call them sharp-toothed rats, and they're one of the specialties of the garbage star."

"It is hypothesized that these sharp-toothed rats may have originally migrated here with exploration ships or household waste. Subsequently, due to the harsh environment on the garbage planet, they eventually evolved into the most suitable for the place.

"Their resistance to toxins is very high, and a completely separate gland is formed in the body that is used to eliminate toxins, so their diet is quite extensive. And their fur has evolved over countless years, forming a thin film of energy, which is able to isolate most harmful substances, including terrifying radiation, of course.

"A single sharp-toothed rat is not scary, and despite its sharp claws and thick fur, it is still not a threat in this beast-infested garbage planet, and it can even be said that it is not to be feared. However, due to their strong reproductive abilities, they usually appear in groups, occasionally spawning a few rat tides, in which case any creature can only avoid them.

"It's unfortunate that what you just encountered happened to be a rare rat tide."

He stood very close to Louis, and this inadvertent safe distance was the best indication of the extraordinary relationship between the two, and judging from the position he was a little behind, his identity should not be as noble as the child called Louise, but from the awe of the people around him, it could be seen that his identity was also extraordinary.

Si Nian became more interested in this child named "Louise".

"What's your name?" Louis asked.

"Si Nian, my name is Si Nian." Si Nian said his name in a clear voice unique to a teenager.

For the first time, Louis took such care to remember a person's name. Even he himself didn't understand why he did this, and he couldn't imagine how deep the bond between them would be in the near future.

"When a sentry meets the best guide for him, you don't need any medium, just a glance, you can know that the person should belong to you, and it can only belong to you." -- Excerpt from "The History of the Soldier King".

Louis gave the big man standing behind Si Nian a look, and the other party immediately understood what he meant.

Although he couldn't quite understand why his young master would take this strange boy so seriously, he decided to follow Louis's instructions anyway.

"Would you like to join us?"

Si Nian looked at the big man with a simple face behind him, and then at the child opposite him and the red-haired man next to the child.

These people don't look bad, the most important thing is that his protection period is about to expire, if he can't integrate into this place, let alone go home, it's unknown whether he can survive.

Seeing Si Nian nodding, the big man naturally introduced himself.

His name was Hank, and the red-haired young man was called Joe. Joe looked a few years older than Si Nian, and his eyes were a little narrow, and he looked a bit like a fox, especially when he laughed, but he wasn't annoying. The kid named Louise is their leader, and although this combination is a bit strange, he can wear it to the garbage star, so what else can't happen?

The three men were clearly the leaders of the group, and it seemed that they were a little closer to each other than the others.

Si Nian mainly communicates with these three people, although most of the time it is the other party who speaks, and he listens on the side.

From this conversation, Louis and his party learned more about this young man named Si Nian.

Somewhat different from what they expected, the other party didn't seem to be very clear about why he came to Junk Star.

Although Si Nian's expression has not changed since they met, some subtle body language can't escape the eyes of their group. The feeling of confusion in the bottom of my heart was thoroughly conveyed to them through those clear black eyes.

Everyone has their own secrets, and even more so the inhabitants of the Junk Star. They never delve into other people's pasts, but they still maintain the vigilance they should have, at least so far, Si Nian is not their partner.

And Si Nian also had a deeper understanding of this planet from his conversation with them.

Located about 200 million kilometers from the Heavenly Star, the Garbage Star was once given high hopes because of the temperature, humidity and gravitational pull of the planet, all of which have the potential to become a habitable star. However, this speculation was denied in the "Report on the Detection of Radioactive Elements on Nala Star" sent back by the explorer.

The radioactive elements of the junk star are 1.8 times higher than the minimum standard!

For humanity at the time, this meant that if you didn't wear a radiation suit, you couldn't walk on the planet at all.

Under the destruction of radiation, your cells will die little by little, first in a small number and then gradually spread, like an irrepressible infectious disease. As these cells die, your organs lose their vitality and your entire body becomes fragile. What's even more terrifying is that your cells don't die completely, they can turn into terrible tumors as a result of the disease, causing you to grow something strange.

In addition to the excessive radioactive elements, Nala also has a strange magnetic field that covers most of the planet. In such a magnetic field, many electronic devices will lose their function and become decorations, which is undoubtedly a very headache for humans who are accustomed to using modern instruments.

There are only a handful of places on the planet that are not disturbed by this magnetic field, which is called the "shielded zone", and this is where the current inhabitants of the garbage star live.

In general, it would be a fool's act for people at that time to immigrate to Nala Star, where input and output are completely disproportionate.

As a result, the completely abandoned Nala Star has become a garbage star dedicated to storing waste because it is adjacent to several habitable stars for humans.

Hundreds of years later, very few people remember the beautiful name "Nala", and apart from storing garbage, people have completely forgotten about the planet that once had the potential to be a habitable star.

In fact, if the garbage star is still the same as it used to be, it may not be successfully transformed with the current technology, but unfortunately, too much garbage has made the planet full of holes and can no longer be repaired and restored.

The harsh environment of the garbage star is not only on the surface of terrifying radiation.

Plenty of food, clean water, clean air...... These most basic living conditions have become a luxury on the garbage star.

Food, which can only be eaten by various mutated animals and insects, is not readily available, especially on a poorly equipped planet like Junk Star.

Clean water sources are even more scarce, and due to the constant accumulation of garbage, the water sources that were originally qualified on the garbage star have become dirty, not to mention drinking, and you have to worry about the risk of poisoning if you accidentally touch them. Only when rainwater passes through a filter can it be used, and drinking water can only be achieved through a guò water collector.

As for the fresh air, don't even think about it. You can smell a pungent stench even after passing a garbage dump, not to mention that the planet itself is a huge garbage dump, but this stench is mixed with some metal's peculiar fishy smell, which makes people even more uncomfortable.

The inconveniences caused by these key factors are innumerable, and Si Nian can already imagine how difficult the future will be before he has experienced it firsthand.

Although his heart was as bitter as eating Coptis chinensis, on the surface, he still had that calm and breezy appearance, but it made Hank and Kilgo, who didn't know the truth, take a look, only Louis glanced at Si Nian vaguely, revealing a slightly puzzled look.

Although Si Nian's expression has not changed from beginning to end, why does he just feel that there is a sense of loss and helplessness on that zombie face?

Louis is not good at comforting others, but at that moment he suddenly wanted to comfort this person and told him: With me, there is nothing to fear.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you! From today onwards, you follow me, and I will protect you! ”

No one has ever said such a thing to Si Nian, the education of the Si family has always been "a manly man who sheds blood without tears", even the brother who favors him the most, will not say such emotional words. Therefore, although I feel a little embarrassed to be comforted by such a beautiful little Lori, I also feel a warm current passing through my heart.

Si Nian touched his nose and wanted to say no, but seeing the little guy's serious expression, he couldn't say anything when the words of refusal came to his mouth, so he had to whisper thank you.

Hank and Joe glanced at each other, silently taking in the surprise on each other's faces. Obviously, he was not the only one who felt that the little young master's behavior was a little strange.

Louis's ability to dominate the trash star was obviously not won by his over-the-top sympathy, and he was even more famous for his callousness and ruthlessness that was completely different from his age.

Many people even use their hearts to describe Louis, if it weren't for the extraordinary affection between them and Louis, I am afraid that they would also think that this word is used well. Of course, even if their relationship was as close as it is now, the two would occasionally be tempted to agree with the word.

And this young master Louis, who has always been known for his coldness, actually took the initiative to protect a person, and it was not a casual talk, and the seriousness was comparable to an oath - although they never thought that the oath was binding on people like them, but this time the situation was obviously different.

What's more, this person who was announced to be protected by the little young master was a stranger who had nothing to do with them at all an hour ago!

Has the little master been possessed by something strange?

Hank and Joe thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Louis was focusing on Si Nian, so naturally he didn't notice the reaction of the two, but even if he knew what was going on in their hearts, he wouldn't care.

Si Nian's response was too bland, not at all like those who wanted to defect to him in the past, which made Louis feel dissatisfied that what he said was not taken seriously.

"What I said is true!" Luis emphasized.

He has just turned eight years old this year, and although he is a young man, he is inevitably a little childish.

Si Nian was annoyed when he saw the little guy, and he was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain patiently: "I didn't believe it, it's just the first time someone said that they wanted to protect me, and it was still such a beautiful little beauty, so I felt a little weird." ”

Si Nian said sincerely, but the others obviously didn't care about his attitude. The words "little beauty" seem to be under a spell, constantly swirling in the minds of several people, making people no longer have the slightest energy to think about other issues.

So the few people who heard the answer were stunned in unison.

The situation suddenly became strange.

Si Nian didn't know what he said wrong, and asked a little nervously, "Yes, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Who、Who sues you he、He's a girl? I, my young master, is obviously a boy!" George was excited, his tongue was knotted, but he was imposing, coherent, and the central idea was clear—Louise, no, maybe Louis, he was a boy!

Si Nian looked in the direction of George's finger and happened to see Louis, whose face was flushed with shame because of his words.

That kind of person is smaller than a flower, which made Si Nian suddenly think of a very popular sentence in another world: If you are so cute, you must be a boy!
