Chapter 430: Sheltering on Love Island and Waiting for the Sky to Change
The ancient Babylon replaced the scrapped Velvet and sailed to the Eros space station.
The asteroid has two crater-level space stations, one is the Sigma space station that Skyworth Group's special research team once wanted to use as a living experiment site, and the other is Eros.
If the asteroid belt is the favela of the Federation, then Eros is the slum of the asteroid belt, and the people of the asteroid belt affectionately call it 'waist', except that the appearance of Eros does look like a kidney, and the nature and characteristics are also similar.
To be honest, this is a space station where even a ruthless person like Xu Changqing would scratch his head.
If you move the same thing that the Hunters Guild did on the Alpha space station here, the result will be to kill more than half and keep a small half, thus creating another horrific massacre.
After paying the expected berthing fee for the Velvet to the port authority staff dressed like a gang, Xu Changqing picked up his mobile phone, pulled up the leather collar zipper of the lamb cashmere liner, put on gloves, tied up the cuffs, put on a hat and windproof goggles, and then buckled the breathing filter mask, and then left the dock area with Mary.
Soon the two discovered that it was really not too much to face the interior of Eros with the attitude of dealing with sandstorm weather.
It's a garbage heap, and the people who live here are rats crawling around in the garbage.
If you have been to the reeds in autumn and seen the scene of a gust of autumn wind blowing and the fluff flying all over the sky, it is not difficult to understand the environment here.
The dust floated in the air, like dirt suspended in the water, and sometimes groups of tiny droplets or droplets flew in front of you, which could be saliva from someone's mouth, urine, or whatever.
Xu Changqing deeply felt that in this kind of environment, it is not uncommon to get any diseases.
The good news is that there are no groups of beggars along the way, neither children nor miserable women, and it is difficult to believe that the population is more than 100,000.
The men resembled him and Mary and the two bodyguards, but they could still be distinguished from each other, as the four of them were neatly dressed, while the locals looked dirty and scruffy, and they couldn't afford much water.
Following the signposts all the way, Xu Changqing quickly saw the other side of Eros, crowded.
It's like a superstar at an indoor concert without a seat.
The location is a very ordinary little square. The only good thing about it is that the artificial gravity is up to scratch.
There are a lot of vendors here, giving Xu Changqing the feeling that the people of Eros Star sell all daily necessities on their bodies, even if it is a toilet.
Of course, most of them are open clothes to let customers see the goods hanging on the lining of the clothes, and some directly open the clothes to show **, and there are even three hanging like durians.
These standing streets completely ignored Mary, the woman who followed Xu Changqing, and the objects of their eyebrows and eyebrows also included Xu Changqing's two bodyguards.
But no one stepped forward to make physical contact.
That's interesting. Xu Changqing also noticed that the small square was so crowded, but everyone was careful not to touch others, and they all did a good job.
Etiquette, or taboo?
Xu Changqing doesn't know, and he doesn't care very much, each space station has its own cultural customs, some of which are full of visual sense, and some are very special.
He is not a folklorist, he just came to the space station with the highest probability of breaking out problems, etc., and waited for death to come and be the first person to face the problem head-on.
Compared to the garbage heap, the rat nest still looks orderly and clean, the best hotel of Eros, Love House, the interior style is a Caribbean island, the light projection and artificial beach are organically combined, creating the visual effect of a sunny beach that is indistinguishable.
This level of creativity and design is naturally nothing in Xu Changqing's opinion, but considering the background that ordinary people here can't afford to use water, it is indeed a luxury compared to the decorative style of white jade paving the earth and making gold columns.
The scene by the artificial beach, just like a movie star holding a happy party in a Los Angeles beach villa, all you can see are macho men and beautiful women, the figure and appearance are super good, and the clothes are super less, and there is no square foot of cloth together, except for the key parts, the rest is all rope chains.
These people are not so much playing there as they are doing a special window display, and when someone passes by, they will deliberately show their good side, and if the eyes of passers-by are cameras, then the shots are basically very photogenic and seductive.
"This must have studied professional acting classes, or they are simply starlets." Mary said with some taste.
I have to say that the vinegar flavor is a little heavier is Mary's specialty. It's interesting that Mary doesn't tolerate other women, she just lacks confidence in herself, she doesn't feel feminine enough, and every time she encounters a seductive professional-level beauty to show off her flirtatiousness, she is a little fried.
In fact, Xu Changqing still likes to ride Mary's big horse, her clumsy flattery, but it allows Xu Changqing to feel the fun under the bed, and like those technical flows outside, even if they have not been used, it makes him feel more like a transaction, he has already done a lot of trading things, and it is better to try to be less contaminated with this kind of taste in life.
Mary always had a lot of fun and slept very heavily afterwards, giving him the feeling that the characters were reversed. Generally, men don't understand the amorous style, or are not delicate enough, and after snapping, they immediately sleep like a dead pig, as if they are really tired of plowing a few acres of land.
It's also interesting to think about Mary's wide and sturdy arms and cow-sized Mimi.
Of course, now Mary is no longer so a woman, on the contrary, she is more attached to him, not only because of the change of strength and weakness in life, but also because the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful.
**With Mary's elastic bodybuilding back muscles, Xu Changqing was a little gloomy and calculated the overall situation.
In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly four years since I came to this world.
Sometimes time lacks concreteness, and sometimes it can be a wake-up call.
According to past experience, the more you delay, the more powerful it will be once it erupts.
He had long suspected that a civilizational crisis in this world was inevitable.
He pulled the Martian Republic in the hope that they would leave some fire behind, and never expected it to survive the catastrophe.
As for the asteroid belt, let's use it, like temporarily rescuing a group from the zombie crisis that is almost certain to be bitten to death, and then making it worthwhile for them to die.
He didn't think it was because of how cold he was, but that a lot of things were already predestined.
It seems fatalistic to say this, but who can stop the bombs from filling an entire cruise ship a second before they explode? Magneto's son, Quicksilver, didn't come to work.
He can't, either.
He felt that after he came to this world, he had changed his original trajectory to a considerable extent, although delaying the outbreak might make the outbreak more tragic, but arming the Republic of Mars, he himself opened a production system that was not weak, and the positive effect of the two was higher than the total amount of additional damage caused by delay.
I can't really figure it out.
I can only think of it this way.
Maybe he got it wrong and changed {Vampire Diaries} to {Witch Hunt: Millennial Holy War}.
"I hope not." ……
In the next ten days, Xu Changqing lived a shameless married life with Mary every day.
The shopkeeper saw that he lived in a simple house, and he was indifferent to the party invitations sent to him, so he gave up. In fact, there is always a bodyguard who will walk around these days, and through them, Xu Changqing has seen every place in Eros Star.
The inability to find a job, the soaring crime rate, the serious destruction or loss of public facilities, the poor environment and poor public security have led to the loss of investor confidence, as well as the flight of a large number of middle-class people, and the lack of high value-added consumers and the main force of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, which have further shrunk the economy and made it more difficult for society to function normally......
Everything that happened on Eros reminded Xu Changqing of Detroit and Chicago in the origin world.
The Great Lakes region is blessed with a unique environment and is the industrial heart of the United States. The bankruptcy of the city began precisely because of the influx of a large number of foreigners, mainly blacks, and the low employment rate.
Of course, Erosis is far worse than he remembered Chicago, which lacks room for maneuver, has an incomplete economic system, is highly dependent on the outside world and has no resources, like a light industrial base built on an isolated island with a family area.
Kyushu Industry once opened a parts manufacturing company here, but it was messed up by the people here, the quality was poor, the work was not responsible, the product qualification rate was low, and the theft was entrained...... The company has been in this state of dealing with personnel problems, and simply closed its doors.
People here are waiting for death in erosion, and even radical groups don't come here to settle down. It's easy to incite, but there's nothing here. In the face of mass trouble, the most likely thing for the administrators from the federation to do is to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, retreat with the trend, and throw off the burden in the name of righteousness, and then the people here can really die.
This is the general trend, and there are stories of this kind every day, a city of 100,000 people will not suddenly become a silent ghost town, but more and more people will die of disease and famine, and become mushroom fertilizer.
Death is also a way to reduce the problem, and if Eros can kill half of the people, society will function much better.
In the face of these, Xu Changqing didn't know how to feel.
Finally, on the eleventh day of his stay, there was no need to think about it, something happened.
The bodyguards came to report that there had been an explosion at the Starport pier and that the Starport had been sealed.
This is really painful news, after all, it means that Eros has become a cage.
"Keep an eye on the dock to see if federal officials are going to evacuate from there."
The bodyguard nodded and went out, there were members on the Velvet, just to ensure the way out.
Mary, dressed in loose home clothes, walked out of the room next to her, and said with a sharp look in her eyes, "Are you going to start?" ”
"Maybe it's just us making a big fuss, but let's get ready and get all our equipment ready."
Mary nodded and returned to the room just now, Xu Changqing was eating dried fruits, drinking wine, and waiting for news.
The new news was not slow, and after more than ten minutes, the bodyguards came in to report that there was a fight on the dock, and the Federation's riot squad was fighting monsters.
After Xu Changqing looked at a few sets of shots taken by the crew of the Velvet, he began to change clothes with Mary.
Ten minutes later, the two met up with the bodyguards downstairs who had already completed the checkout.
At this time, the bodyguard standing at the door of the hotel said: "Boss, it's better for us to avoid in the store first." ”
Xu Changqing walked over, looked out through the door glass, and saw that the square was crowded with pedestrians, pushing and trampling, screaming and shouting, howling and moaning, as if the rally and parade had turned into a riot.
The hotel manager came over and suggested, "Sir, it's better for you to stay in the store." It's safe enough here. He gestured to the falling alloy fence.
Xu Changqing took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the communication had been interrupted.
"Let's go." He was the first to leave.
Mary and two bodyguards followed.
The hotel manager shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the two fierce guards at the door to come back, and the fence was completely lowered.
