Chapter 64: Borrowing
As we go deeper, there are fewer and fewer workers who leave work.
If you go any further, I'm afraid you'll have to be noticed by the Ulu people through the cameras on the street.
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and walked towards a building with more than 30 floors.
Entering the building, it was still empty.
All the way to the elevator, Xiao Ye entered it and casually pressed down the highest thirty-sixth floor.
When I reached the 36th floor, I got out of the elevator, and it was a corridor that was 300 meters long. On one side of the corridor is an elevator, and on the other side, there is a house.
Xiao Ye immediately planned to try his luck and see if anyone was willing to take the risk to take him in. Even if you don't want to take it in, at least you won't denounce yourself.
After all, they are all human beings, unless they have extremely high abilities or talents in a certain field, and the consequences of denunciating him are just a little more food, and when they don't need it, they still have to kill when they should be killed.
casually found a family, Xiao Ye pressed the doorbell. The result was somewhat unexpected, for four or five minutes in a row, the door did not move.
Xiao Ye turned around, came to a nearby house, and pressed the doorbell.
Within another four or five minutes, the result turned out to be the same.
There was no way, Xiao Ye had to go to the third, fourth, and fifth houses, and a rough voice came from the speaker on the door: "Something?" ”
"Hello, I just came in from outside, I am not familiar with the situation here, and I have no place to stay, I hope to be able to take it in." Xiao Ye said politely.
"Coming in from outside?" Behind the door, seeing a strong man from Xiao Ye's eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately, he opened the door violently. looked, extremely excited: "You, you are sent by the Federation Army to reconnoiter the enemy situation on the planet Moboru?" ”
Xiao Ye smiled helplessly, he didn't want to deceive people: "No, I just have a task to do." Will the federal army send someone to reclaim it...... I do not know. ”
The strong man's face suddenly fell.
Xiao Ye was silent, the Mobolu Planet is just a resource planet, without any strategic value, unless there is some special situation, otherwise, the Federation Army probably will not think of this.
"Come in! My name is Riva. Dahan sighed.
Xiao Ye thanked him and entered the living room.
Riva looked outside the door for a moment, then closed the door. Then, he shouted a few words: "Polly, Kaya, there are guests here." ”
The door of one bedroom quietly opened, and a beautiful and dignified woman in her early thirties walked out with a little girl of seven or eight years old.
"This is my wife Poli, and this is my daughter Kaya." Riva introduced on the side.
"Hello uncle!" The little girl smiled at Xiao Ye obediently.
Xiao Ye nodded and greeted: "My name is Xiao Ye, I may disturb you for a few days, please understand." ”
"...... Riva" Hearing that Xiao Ye planned to live in his own house, Polly couldn't help but look at Riva with a little blame in his eyes.
"Isn't there anything inconvenient?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, it's just that the food is a little tight. Fortunately, there are only three of us, and with your words, saving a little shouldn't be a big problem. Riva shook her head.
"Is there a limit to food?" Xiao Ye asked.
Riva nodded helplessly: "Adults can only receive one compressed biscuit a day, and the elderly and children can only receive half a compressed biscuit a day." There are also restrictions on water, but we used to have water generators in the quarry, which was slightly better than food. ”
"Only compressed biscuits, or even one a day for adults? Only half a block for the elderly and children? Xiao Ye was stunned, he had seen military compressed biscuits, one piece was the size of an ordinary biscuit, although it was easy to fill his stomach, but a great piece would only last for about half a day. He didn't know how much the elderly and children were eating, and this alone meant that adults would be hungry for at least half a day.
Moreover, although compressed biscuits can fill the stomach, they are not nutritious, and the soldiers can carry them with them for self-defense in case of emergencies, and they can be used directly as food, not to mention ordinary people, after a long time, the soldiers also can't stand it.
Riva nodded.
Xiao Ye glanced at Kaya, who was still only seven or eight years old, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
"Polly, you clean up a room for Xiao Ye. Kaya, go back to your room and go to sleep. Riva commanded.
"Goodbye uncle, I'm going to sleep, Dad said that when you sleep, you should consume less energy." Kaya waved at Xiao Ye and ran back to the room.
"This kid!" Riva muttered, and immediately, looked at Xiao Ye with some expectation: "Brother Xiao Ye, can you tell me what your mission is to sneak into the quarry this time?" ”
Xiao Ye shook his head: "I don't know, only the captain knows the details of the mission." We sneaked in in batches and waited until the captain contacted us before we moved together. Actually, I'm curious about what the mission of this trip is, and I guess it's supposed to be to assassinate some important person, or to rob the special ore mined from the quarry. ”
"The quarry has been very quiet during this time, and I haven't heard of any special ore being mined, and I haven't heard of any big people coming, otherwise, the quarry will be more vigilant." Riva shook her head.
Xiao Ye was confused, there were no special ores, and there were no big people, so what was the purpose of the secret team sneaking into the quarry?
Or is it that the Ulu are very secretive and the workers in the quarry of Riva do not know?
Fortunately, he is only a backup, and there is still a lot of time to check slowly, Xiao Ye didn't think much about it, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Brother Riva, can I become a worker?" ”
Riva shook her head: "There are only so many machines, and there is a limit to the number of workers." And you are not from the quarry either, not registered. If it is the former caretaker and security personnel of the quarry, it is possible to fill the vacancy of the worker after something happens to the worker. ”
"So I don't even have food and water?" Xiao Ye asked.
Riva nodded, a little gloomy, "In fact, those administrators and security personnel, they and their families, are only able to receive half of the food and water we receive in a day, and people starve to death every day because of it. We don't have enough food and water, and we can help what we can, but we can't do anything but close the door and act as if we don't know anything......"
"Does Brother Riva know how many Uru are stationed here?" Xiao Ye asked.
Riva was not very sure: "There are not too many Uru people, probably only about one or two thousand. ”
Xiao Ye nodded, there is only one fleet in total on the planet Moboru, and there are no less than ten quarries on the planet, so it is normal to only send one or two thousand soldiers over.
"That's right!"
As if remembering something, Riva walked briskly into the room, and when he came out, he already had a small half of a biscuit in his hand.
Handing the biscuits to Xiao Ye, Riva said a little apologetically: "Brother Xiao Ye is a guest, and you shouldn't have been burdened with it, but if Kaya doesn't eat enough, his body is easy to eat, and sometimes he has to help the children nearby, so he can only provide you with one-third of the compressed biscuits a day, and please don't be surprised by Brother Xiao Ye." ”
"A tenth of a day is enough, and I have other ways to solve it." Xiao Ye took the small half of the compressed biscuit, broke off more than half of it and handed it back to Riva.
"How is that enough?" Riva was stunned.
"I said, I have other ways to solve it. In addition......"
Xiao Ye took out a whole bottle of nutrients from the spacesuit and handed it to Riva.
