Chapter 1: The Scavengers of the Crimson Star

Next Chapter

May world peace, both material and spiritual.

Khan Empire, Crimson Star.

Heavy wind and sand wreak havoc on most of the planet's surface! This is already the norm.

In the material exchange room of a certain living base, a group of drinkers gathered at this moment, and a scrolling message was being broadcast on the three-dimensional display screen on the side.

"According to the latest information, in order to deal with the unstable situation in the Jihong region, the Imperial Military Department has decided to carry out a series of countermeasures, not only to dispatch powerful Imperial troops, but also to use corresponding means such as regional blockade, economic cut-off, etc., the following is the live video broadcast of the Imperial Military Department"

The broadcast screen transitions to a soldier appearing on the monitor, his epaulettes showing his rank, a colonel.

The perseverance, iron blood, wind and frost of the soldier are all visible on the face of this soldier with the rank of colonel, all showing that he is a cadre who has experienced actual combat!

If a soldier has not experienced the killing of life and death, how can he have such a temperament.

On the screen, the colonel's words are simple and direct.

The Khan Imperial Military Department has decided this time to send a number of fleets to the Jihong region to encircle and suppress all kinds of chaotic forces! The fleets sent such as the 1009 Fleet of Crimson Star, the First Fleet of Deep Space, and many other elite fleets of the Empire, the Empire will never allow any sabotage forces to threaten the safety of every citizen of the Empire!

Suddenly, the generous speech on the scrolling screen began to blur, and the beginning of the unclear reason was intermittent, and the boss of the Mitte people looked up at the eerie orange wind and sand outside, presumably affected by the whistling wind and sand outside the glass window.

Violent winds and sandstorms can be seen everywhere here, intermittently, some for months, some for a few hours, and communication interruptions are not a new thing, they are used to it, because this is the Crimson Star.

"Hmph, the old men in power seem to have discovered some way to make money, those people in Jihong are estimated to eat dirt, these adults, if they can come up with such a huge fleet of military expenses, they don't know how to repair the poor communication!"

In the supply store, a big-bellied Mitte man wiped the cup and commented on the scrolling screen in a mocking tone, as if he had heard some particularly shameless and funny joke.

Although he had heard of the chaos in the Jihong area, it did not mean that he believed these bureaucratic guys, and he had long been accustomed to the army's speeches this time, but it was just another storm.

Blow, wind sand or wind sand.

The spokesman of the Khan Imperial Military Department and other spokesmen, the consistent style is that the thunder is loud and the rain is small!

Money-making doesn't count! They're all masters of this way!

"Maybe there's a thirty-legged White Liaoxing's basket beast! They love the big noses of other creatures and comb their hair, hahahahaha"

The drinker next to him, a man who resembled the earthlings, smelled of alcohol, his eyes were blurred, and he had obviously drunk a lot, which caused everyone to laugh out loud.

Jokes about the news are their greatest pleasure on a daily basis.

Everyone was talking and laughing, the door of the material store on the side was pushed open, and the whistling wind and sand poured directly in, everyone was frowning, the grumpy mouth was full of words, and the hands were full of wind and rain.

The wind and sand blew the metal sheets on the door, and the metal paddles made a crisp sound of tinkling bells when they hit.

This is the wind chime made by the Mittes on the door, and it can produce this crisp and pleasant sound when hit, this wind chime is the favorite of the shopkeeper, made of several metal sheets in a simple series, and it is very difficult for other races to understand why the Mittes are so fond of percussion.

But this kind of wind chime is a sacred existence in the homeland of the Mitte people.

"Oh oh oh, old acquaintances, don't make trouble, look at who it is, I'm so happy to see you, my little cutie, Huo Zhe!"

The boss of the Mitte people looked at the people who came in, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he didn't know if he was smiling to block the wind and sand coming in.

"Your words are disgusting, I don't like big greasy noses"

When the man called Hochul came in, he sat down on the bench in front of him, shook the yellow sand off his body, and his thin-looking body carried a bag as big as the others.

took off the helmet, revealing the appearance of a slightly immature earthling boy, black hair, a slightly whiter complexion than the yellow sand, and eyes that did not match the age, no, the eyes, the color of black and white was slightly deeper.

"Hahaha, I won't mind, how much are you going to buy today, by the way, is Lingzi better? I haven't seen each other for a few days, three days, or four days."

The boss of the Mitte took the bag, he knew very well what the boy needed, he was a regular customer.

Huo Zhe sat on the bench, didn't drink a drink, didn't eat a little intoxicating sweetness in the window, just sat quietly, his eyes looked at the constantly scrolling screen, on which were the images of starships dragging tail flames in the universe, and the huge steel starships jumped after starting the jump engine, which was really beautiful.

Owning a cosmic starship is Hochul's dream! However, Huo Zhe was really not in the mood at all at the moment.

The Khan Empire has countless starships, but he is still running around for his stomach, even if there is a little accident in life, he may go to see his relatives who have been dead for many years.

"Thirty protein blocks, an inefficient energy bar, plus a bottle of flavoring, it's a gift, a total of 250 ISK, check out here"

The boss of the Mitte people carried a bag full of bags and put them in front of Hochul, life is like this, and you just need to pay the bill and leave.

Huo Zhe understands the truth.

Check it out, no problem! Just as he was about to go out, the door was pushed open, and a man with mechanical eyes appeared in front of Huo Zhe, and walked in without looking at Huo Zhe.

Then several men and women of different races walked in, and there was even a robot behind it, which didn't seem to be of much advanced type, but this robot was obviously modified, and the two rapid-fire guns behind it looked out of place. And the two mechanical legs have also become four, and this design is undoubtedly to increase stability when firing.

Looking at their uniform costumes, they are not from the Khan Empire's security forces, Huo Zhe already has a certain guess in his heart, as expected, it should be an organization that claims to be the Meteor Army entrenched near this survival base, Huo Zhe has heard of them, but it is the first time they have met.

There is nothing to explain why they are entrenched here, they are a bunch of bandits!

They all know that this is not their sovereign land, and they will not be recognized by any country as having sovereignty, in essence, the Crimson Star is the territory of the Khan Empire, not these so-called free madmen.

And whether they are the Meteor Army or the Free Army, they are all rebels, bandits, terrorists, hangers, and disloyal rebels in the mouth of the Khanate government.

It's better not to have any interaction with them.

Under the political power of the Khanate Empire, they should have been beaten to the end long ago, and Huo Zhe couldn't figure out why they hadn't been strangled by the Khan's fleet yet.

Could it be that Crimson Star is located in the barren border of the Khan Empire? The Khan's rule over this place was weak, so there was room for them to live?

But how to rule weakly, the 1009 fleet of the Khan Empire stationed in the Crimson Star is a fleet with a huge number of space starships, it is not a decoration, although I have great doubts, but what does all this have to do with myself, I can't afford to eat!

However, because of the stationing of the 1009 fleet of the Khan Empire, the rebels here have always been petty and difficult to survive, and they have been hiding in the deep mountains and underground to survive.

Many people say that the rebels of Chengcliac have gone to the sky to be interstellar pirates, where will they still be on the ground of a planet and the empire.

It's all in vain, the top priority at the moment is to think more about how to get more supplies, not for life, but for other things, which is very important to Hochul.

It seems that he has to find the biggest acquisition merchant Lao Katou, only from him can rent a cheap shuttle, with his current situation, if he wants to achieve his own goal, then he can only go farther away, according to the information provided by the old scavenger, the only hope at present is to try his luck at the battlefield ruins.

Early the next morning, Huo Zhe came to Lao Katou's camp very early, and after talking for more than half an hour, Huo Zhe got a shuttle that looked like a pile of scrap iron!

This conversation with Old Katoude reminded Hochul of the words of an old scavenger.

Anything that you want to attain the Tao needs to have enough chips to exchange, and maybe you have to pay more.

This sentence really should be now.

The battered shuttle emitted black smoke and the clattering parts in the frame were at risk of being scrapped at any time, and in this way, Hojol drove it to drag a long trajectory on the plains covered with yellow sand, which was then covered by the wind and sand.

At a speed of 300 per hour, after more than three hours of wild racing, Huo Zhe saw the appearance of the wreckage of the huge starship in the distance, the stomach juice in the stomach of the strong ninja and the waist that felt that it had been displaced, and finally arrived at the periphery of the destination of this trip.

Hide the shuttle, this is really an old baby that you will never forget!

After walking for more than half an hour, turning over a boulder, Huo Zhe looked at the traces on the ground, and there were many indescribable hoof prints, Huo Zhe could only smile bitterly, it seemed that someone had taken the lead, or that he had broken into the territory of other scavengers.

Take a sip of the bitter and smelly synthetic water, look at Gao Xuan's star, before the light falls, you will definitely be able to successfully find enough items! in exchange for enough money!

Sometimes the more you want to get something, the more you can't get it! That's it, fate likes to play a joke on you.

There are always countless surprises! It's either hardship or hardship.
