Chapter 4: Panic Before the War
Just as he was about to go out, the voice of the old card head came again.
"You know what? You Terrans are a great race, do you hear? This beautiful melody, brought by a scavenger, is something called a pendant, ancient art, beautiful art"
"I hope he can take you to heaven, this is the most beautiful art"
After Huo Zhe finished speaking, he turned around and left, and didn't pay much attention to the old card head, art? Ancient art? If I live, it's the greatest art.
I looked at Lingzi at home first, her condition was a little more serious, and Lingzi was lying on the bed weakly panting, due to the torture of the illness, from time to time there were some coughs and moans. I have already checked the medical center, and this disease urgently needs a medicine to treat it, but this medicine is too expensive, fortunately it is in stock! But they don't have enough money to pay.
That's why Hochul is taking the risk.
The younger brothers stayed at home to take care of Lingzi, they were a big family, all of them were some outcast orphans, a total of five people, only Huo Zhe was the oldest, fifteen years old this year.
Lying on the bed was twelve-year-old Lingzi, and standing next to him were ten-year-old Xing, eight-year-old Xiaobai, and six-year-old Xiaofeng.
Huo Zhe transferred the one hundred and twenty ISK payment cards he got to his family account and asked his younger brother Xing to buy some food and water, after all, several people in the family still need to live.
After arranging everything and glancing at Lingzi, who was suffering from illness, Huo Zhe said in his heart, just hold on, just hold on, brother must raise money to buy medicine as soon as possible.
Huo Zhe came to the backyard of Lao Katou, and after waiting for ten minutes, a group of seventeen people rushed into the dark night sky in a large shuttle.
The Fifth Air Harbor is one of the twelve large airports of the Crimson Star, the Crimson Star is a remote and barren planet, a rare metal was abundant here a long time ago, and the Khan Empire that ruled here used this place as a resource logistics planet, due to the needs of war, it was overexploited here, which led to a sudden climate change and became the current desert planet.
Later, with the completion of the collection of rare metals, this place was abandoned, after the abandonment, the vast majority of people have immigrated, and the Khan Empire also treated this place as an abandoned planet, which has formed the current situation, the law and order are chaotic, the rulers and warlords are like cattle hair, and the melee is continuous, although the Khanate Empire sent the security army to station, but it has not changed anything.
Later, with the end of the peripheral war, the army of the Khan Empire returned to this barren land and forcefully eliminated almost all the warlord forces, but many of them survived under the steel giants of the Khan Empire after all, and became the so-called underground resistance forces, such as the Meteor Army.
This time, the rebels and the Free Army and other organizations received a piece of information a few days ago that the 1009 fleet of the Khan Empire stationed in the Crimson Star had left and headed for the Jihong Star Domain, leaving only the standing security army, which made many suppressed forces ready to move for a while.
Those who are more powerful want to take this opportunity to break away from the Crimson Star and enter the vast sea of stars, where is the beginning of the vast world.
And today, the first shot was finally fired at noon, and almost all the forces united to form a free army alliance, with the support of powerful weapons at home, the people of the free army alliance bloomed all over the crimson star, the military bases and government bases of the khanate empire were captured one by one, and the security army was vulnerable in the face of the heavy firepower of the rebels.
However, a small living base like Huo Zhe's has always been a three-way zone, and there is not even a single government soldier here, but it has become a rare peaceful place in this chaotic war.
Fifth Aeroport, chaos has become synonymous with the status quo here.
Countless races crowded here, countless shuttles even stopped at a great distance, full of people, discarded items, noises, transport ships constantly flying and falling, back and forth between the space ships moored on the periphery of the planet, the security system of the Khan Empire has predicted the seriousness of this situation, all that can be done is to take a few more important people and save them from the war, as for civilians, on other planets, it is not a big deal.
What is particularly strange is that there is not the slightest sign of reinforcements, and the 1009 fleet that went to the Jihong area does not have any information, which gives the rebels a strong confidence.
"Listen, shuttles, supply cards, everything, as long as it's valuable, you need it."
Lao Katou's subordinates said to the dozen or so people in front of him, and all of them looked at everything not far away, the chaotic and crowded crowd, the few robot policemen who maintained order that were almost invisible, and the things all over the ground had become ownerless, and this place was a paradise for scavengers in the past.
Without too many explanations and words, everyone seemed to be jackals who had seen the naked lamb, and Hochul soon found a large shuttle on the periphery, which allowed him to pull a lot of things back.
He also saw that many people from various forces had come here, and many of them were acquaintances. Driving the shuttle, Hochul began to load all the supplies that he thought were valuable, as if he had arrived at a supermarket where he could shop freely.
At this moment, in an asteroid belt one light year away from the crimson star, thirty-seven large and small starships are moored here, the weak starship tail flame maintains the power balance, and from time to time a meteorite hits the side of the starship, stirring up a little faint ripple, which is the starship's shield system to prevent peripheral objects from harming the starship's armor structure.
In the command room of the largest starship, a young man sat in the captain's command chair, staring at the constantly flickering pictures on the screen in front of him, while the original commander of the starship stood aside, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, which added a bit of military fortitude to his chubby face.
The starship's narrow body slowly moved in the meteorite belt in the direction of the meteorite's movement, drawing several numbers, 1009, and then a half-length painting of a horse's head on the hull outside the command room.
The horse's head is the army icon of the Khan Empire, and 1009 is the number of the first fleet of the Crimson Star Standing Army, which is the 1009 fleet that has been mentioned above, the fleet that expeditioned to the Jihong Star Domain.
The entire fleet remained silently in the meteorite belt, silently.
Fifth Aeroport.
A man from the Zhiluosa people carried a blue-skinned child through the crowd, squeezing forward as hard as he could, and after a few meters, he could reach the security checkpoint, where he could get on the boat and leave this place of right and wrong.
"You! Yes, you, stop, go back"
The vigilante stopped the man in front of him, and Machilov's hand, perhaps a little tired from holding the child, shook a little when he heard this.
"Go back, only those who have passed permission can pass here, and you are not on the monitor, the next one will come forward, don't lose time"
The muzzle of the vigilante's gun was pressed to Machilov's chest, and at this moment on his monitor, the man with tentacles on his head in front of him did not meet the status of an immigrant, he was just a mediocre pauper, and he was not eligible to board the lifeboat.
Half an hour later, despite all his efforts and efforts, Machilov could not pass through the security lane, which was less than three centimeters thick.
This damn identity, if I knew that this kind of oolong happened, I should have the identity of a business celebrity, even if it was the identity of an industrial technician! Damn it! Why did he get the identity of a civilian, Machilov couldn't help but scold, as for the child in his hand before, it was not his own, it was just that he spent some money to buy it for the identity rush, maybe the damn guard could have mercy on a father with a child, but in the end, it was really him.
There is not much time for the spaceship to leave, where can I go to find someone to help me forge my identity during this time, if I don't have a suitable identity, I will be stuck in this war quagmire forever, become cannon fodder, and if you are lucky, you may be able to leave a whole corpse, it is really a damn day.
"10 million ISK, 10 million ISK, you take me, please" Not far away, next door, a black-haired and yellow-skinned human race and an alien race were talking, the alien race took out his watch, he was pleading with the person in front of him, what do you mean? Curious, Machilov approached slowly, pretending to be indifferent.
"30 million ISK, it must be transferred now! The quota attached to the Terran is limited, 30 million ISK, otherwise there is no need to talk," the Terran man said in a firm tone, what are they talking about the quota between them, is that for the ship? And the price offered by this Terran man is 30 million ISK.
After some tug-of-war between the alien man and the Terran man, it seems that some kind of deal has been reached, and the condition is that the Terran man takes the alien man to the spaceship, and the alien man pays the Terran man 30 million ISK, which is 30 million ISK, which is really nonsense!
Machilov stepped forward and grabbed the Terran man in front of him.
"I'll give 30 million ISK, take me away, and take me with you"
The Terran man was visibly flustered by the sudden arrival, and calmed down after hearing Machilov's words.
"Sorry sir, my spot is full," the Terran man said as he broke free from Machilov's grasp and walked out.
"I'm out 40 million ISK, no, 50 million ISK! Take me out of here" Marchilov increased the chips, this time is not a matter of money at all.
I understand very clearly, leave this foreign race man around me, bring yourself, don't think about anything else, don't even think too much, just look at how much money you pay!
