Chapter 809: Condolences (1st Update)
There are many homeless people lying in the dimly lit alleys.
Long Qi ignored the homeless people and kept walking, until finally stopped at the door of a house and began to knock.
However, there was no response, Long Qi stepped back and took a closer look, there was no light in the window, it should be no one.
"Let's go to the next one, I shouldn't be at home."
"There are a lot of veterans living here?"
Su Bai asked subconsciously.
"This is a resettlement area, specially arranged for disabled veterans."
Long Qi replied lightly, when he was first settled, Long Qi had come to see it in person.
"Who are you looking for?"
At this time, a vigilant voice came from behind.
Su Bai and the others turned to look over, only to see an old man with a face full of vicissitudes, missing one hand in his body, and some synthetic bread in the other hand, staring at Su Bai and them vigilantly.
Immediately, the old man, after seeing Su Bai's appearance.
The originally vigilant eyes became very excited, and they immediately saluted.
"Elder Su Bai! Why are you here......"
Long Qi calmly introduced Su Bai.
"Wu Yue, the leader of the third squad under the 18th Legion of the Star Alliance, the 36th Brigade, and the 12th Mobile Squadron."
Su Bai also saluted back and said with a smile.
"Lieutenant Wu Yue, we're here to visit you."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Wu Yue's eyes in front of him suddenly turned red.
"Lord, you're so good....."
"There's nothing I should do, can you please ask us to sit inside."
"Come in, please."
Wu Yue hurriedly walked up and opened the door.
Soon Su Bai and the others walked into the house, the house was very narrow, that is, a living room and a room, and there was not much furniture in the house.
Wu Yue looked around the house, trying to find something to entertain Su Bai, but there was nothing to entertain at all, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and said with some guilt.
"I'm sorry, Lord, but there's nothing to entertain here, Lord Governor."
"It's okay, there's no need to be so restrained. We're just here to see you, and by the way, we want to talk to you. ”
Su Bai casually found a place to sit down and said gently.
"Okay."
"How long have you been out of the military?"
Su Bai asked.
"It's been more than three years."
Wu Yue replied.
"I have a question for you, your pension and rank allowance should be a lot, how do you feel that it is very difficult."
Su Bai skimmed the bag in his hand just now, which was full of low-grade synthetic bread.
"It's not difficult, I'm good compared to others. It's just that when people get old, they feel uncomfortable from time to time, so some of the money is used to see a doctor, and some of it is used to help the families of my dead brothers. ”
Wu Yue replied with a somewhat depressed mood.
When Su Bai heard this, he also frowned slightly, so he asked.
"Didn't the martyrs' pensions be delivered on time?"
"Yes, but if you don't have a high enough rank, there won't be much pension at all, and the monthly allowance for the rest is actually not much. In addition, in recent years, Star Alliance's funding has been very tight, and there are often delays. ”
Wu Yue didn't have anything to hide, so he said to Su Bai very simply.
"I see."
Su Bai replied with a deep sigh.
After chatting for a while, Su Bai got up and said goodbye.
"We're going to inspect other areas first, if you have any needs or troubles, you can find the Star Alliance's specialized agency."
"I understand, I'll send you the Speaker."
Wu Yue hurriedly got up to send him off.
Su Bai glanced at Bai Lan when he left.
Bai Lan walked at the end with understanding, and left an envelope before going out.
After saying goodbye to Wu Yue, Su Bai and the others visited a few more houses next to each other.
Basically, it's all the same.
Immediately after that, Su Bai and the others took a flying car to Hagrid City.
On the flying car, Bai Lan said to Su Bai.
"The legions of the Kimik Empire have always been one of the main forces of the Star Alliance, and they are indispensable in almost every war, so they have the largest number of casualties."
"I see."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
"Besides, Hagrid City is far away from us, Council Chief, you can take a break, and I'll call you later."
"Okay."
Su Bai nodded slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep not long after, in fact, Su Bai was indeed very tired today.
Not physical tiredness, but more mental exhaustion.
Bai Lan looked at Su Bai, who had fallen asleep, picked up a blanket from the side, and gently covered Su Bai.
Early the next morning, Su Bai heard a soft call and slowly opened his eyes.
"Arrived?"
"Parliamentarian, we're here."
Bai Lan said to Su Bai.
"Let's go..."
Su Bai Mali got up and got out of the car.
"Would you like to eat something first?"
Bai Lan hurriedly asked.
"No, I don't have much appetite, let's visit first."
Su Bai said simply and neatly.
A moment later, under the leadership of Long Qi, Su Bai and his party came to the western district of Hagrid City.
This is a densely populated area, and sewage flows sideways.
There were shirtless children running around everywhere.
You can see many old people and women, their eyes full of numbness and exhaustion, as if they have lost their life. It is only when their gaze falls on the children that there is a slight ripple in color.
And they are also very shabby in their clothes, and their bodies are also emaciated.
In addition, there are not many young and strong men to be seen here.
"Basically two out of every three families here joined the army, and most of them died in the long-term war."
Long Qi introduced to Su Bai.
Su Bai stood in place and watched, his expression becoming more and more silent.
The national strength of the Kimik Empire is considered to be the top of the Star Alliance, and the Kimik Empire also attaches the most importance to soldiers. The families of the martyrs who died here basically received double subsidies, and even here they were like this, Su Bai didn't dare to imagine those small countries.
"You don't have to go, I'll just go by myself."
Su Bai said to Long Qi and the others.
Too many people have come over and expressed condolences in the open, but they are actually picking up other people's scars.
"Okay."
Long Qi replied very dryly.
Su Bai walked over with heavy steps.
Bai Lan and the others stood in place and watched, and when they saw Su Bai walk in, they chatted with those old men and women.
It didn't take long for the entire area to be agitated, and all of them surrounded Su Bai.
Long Qi frowned slightly, it was obvious that Su Bai should have been recognized, she just wanted to bring someone over in case of an accident.
At this time, Bai Lan stopped Long Qi.
"It's okay, they have no ill will towards Lord Su Bai, and Lord Su Bai doesn't need protection."
"Okay."
Long Qi's expression changed for a while, and finally replied.
In the crowd, a woman cried.
"Elder Council, we're not greedy, it's just that we're really miserable, our husbands and fathers have been sacrificed, and the only thing we hope for now is to be able to raise children, but the Covenant's subsidy hasn't come down for a long time....."
"Yes, we live on these meager subsidies, and we want to find a job, but we can't find it..."
