Chapter 18: Slave Star

"Hello passengers, welcome to the K1336 interstellar passenger ship, this passenger ship is an intermittent voyage ship, the whole journey passes through thirteen administrative stars, please pay attention to the travel time, the hull of the ship only stays in each administrative star for fifteen minutes."

"Passengers......"

The crisp electronic sound kept echoing in his ears, and Chen Chen, who was wrapped in a windbreaker, couldn't help frowning. Since leaving the front-line hospital, he has changed to several spaceships and passenger ships, back and forth, up and down, and bumpy for nearly four days.

"I didn't think it was just spanning two star zones, it was so time-consuming......"

couldn't help but read a few words, Chen Chen's eyes were printed with a huge silver figure, if the frost angel was still there, with the help of that unparalleled speed and the military's wormhole corridor, it would be half a day's work at most.

It's a pity, the days of freely shuttling through the starry sky battlefield are over, and suddenly he can't hear the sound of artillery fire and the roar of the mecha engine, Chen Chen's heart is really a little empty.

"Stealth Retirement ......."

Looking out of the dark window, there is no other light except a little star, the starry sky is like this, it seems to be vast but actually barren and tight, a little darkness can make people fall into it.

It stands to reason that although Chen Chen has retired, his military status is still retained, and no matter how frustrated a federal colonel is, he will not come to squeeze the passenger ship.

What's more, he also has the Knight of the Star Medal awarded by the Governor of the Federation. This single Star Medal alone is enough to make him gain a firm foothold on any administrative star, even if he is unscrupulous! Privileges, in many cases, are above official positions!

Looking at the entire territory of the Federation, 500 million soldiers, no more than fifteen people can receive this honor in the same era! Even if you add those who have been buried in the ground, and whose names have been buried in the river of time, there are only 300 people. With such a shawl of glory, even if the major general of the Federation met Chen Chen, he had to stop being courteous!

It's a pity that with Chen Chen's cold temperament, he has never paid attention to these, let alone expected him to understand any complicated privilege regulations...... When he was named the Star Knight of the Federation, Chen Ke only told him that most of the laws of the Federation could no longer bind him, but he didn't explain the specific regulations to him, so he came to squeeze the passenger ship.......

"Ahem, excuse me, gentleman, my seat is inside."

Thoughts were interrupted, and a slightly timid voice rang in my ears, with a feminine softness.

If it was someone else, how could he turn his head and glance at it, but Chen Chen just retracted his legs and didn't even blink his eyes.

"Thanks... Thank you ......"

The owner of the voice was also a little surprised, it was the first time she had seen such a "cold" person in so many years, such a "friendly" and "unfriendly" person.

Da, the girl straightened her arms, first put a blue suitcase on the seat, then stood sideways and squeezed through the gap between Chen Chen's legs and the front seat.

A faint scent of lavender swept across Chen Chen's nose, although it was short, it penetrated directly into his heart and lungs, and for a moment, Chen Chen's fingers trembled and lightly buckled on his knees.

"Drip-Drip"

Not long after the girl sat down, there was a sudden tremor on her wrist. The girl secretly glanced at Chen Chen, and saw that he had closed his eyes at some point, so she exhaled lightly and pressed the connect button.

"Wanling, how can you say goodbye without saying goodbye, I woke up early in the morning and found that you were gone!"

"Shhhh

"Ah, so soon, we want to send you off."

"Don't, don't come, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to give you up, so I won't say goodbye, yes, I'm sorry-"

"Hmph, who wants you to apologize, you obviously said that the four good sisters went to the emperor star together, but you cruelly left us. I, I... Woo, Wanling, are you back? We can't bear to let you go! ”

"Yes... I'm sorry, Canaan Star is my home planet, Li Ying Academy is my alma mater, and my tutor wrote three letters, I.... I have to, I have to go back, yes, I'm sorry everyone! ”

Wow - Tianxun was forcibly hung up, and the docking time of the passenger ship was over. When the huge hull takes off, the signals of all electromagnetic equipment will be interfered with to a great extent, and Tianxun will naturally be hung up.

Looking at the suddenly dim screen, the girl couldn't hold back any longer, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes like beads. Her breath was already choked, but she covered her mouth with her hands and forced herself not to cry.

"Isn't it life and death, as for tears?"

Chen Chen, who was still with his eyes closed, sat up straight, if it weren't for his words, others would think he was talking to himself.

"I... I've lived with them for four years, and we, we, are the best sisters! ”

The girl hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and there were slight ripples in her slightly bright eyes, looking at Chen Chen stubbornly and persistently, but... Three minutes passed, and Chen Chen didn't even speak again......

She stared straight at the side of a person's face for more than three minutes, and when the girl came back to her senses, her cheeks suddenly became hot. The fingers clenched together like verdant ones, and there was nowhere to put them in shame.

"My name is Chen Chen, I just retired from the army, and I am also from Canaan."

"Xu Wanling, just graduated from Nandu University, you ......"

Xu Wanling bit her lower lip and stopped talking a little strangely. Chen Chen didn't care, he held his breath slightly, and the silence between the two resumed again.

More than nine hours later, the starship landed at the space station on Canaan. The passengers walked out piecemeal with their luggage, and with the help of a ladder walkway, they were soon able to land on the surface.

As soon as Xu Wanling stepped out of the cabin, two middle-aged men dressed in strict clothes greeted her with a smile. Behind them were a few young people, carrying a red banner for the occasion.

Chen Chen only glanced at it, and left silently, from beginning to end, Chen Chen never looked at Xu Wanling's face.

The Canaan Star, formerly the chief administrative star of the Dark Star War Alliance, has now been reduced to a barren second-level administrative star in the federal domain. Of course, this barren is relative to the rest of the Federation, and in the original Darkness range, the Canaan Star is still the dominant star.

This planet, which is nearly 10,000 kilometers in diameter, has given birth to more than 5 billion people, and even if you add travelers and interstellar immigrants, it is less than 6 billion. Because of the abundance of Huang Gold Ore (a rare metal ore produced only in the Dark Star Domain, the energy conduction resistance is almost zero, and it has excellent red-hot and stable), coupled with the unlimited mining quota set by the upper level of the Federation, one-third of the surface of the entire planet is being mined.

Unlike other administrative systems, there is only one mega-city with a population of nearly three billion, and the remaining half of the population is distributed among the nine sub-cities around the city. The upper echelons of the Federation have not changed the original administrative layout of Canaan, but have signed a hundred-year memorandum agreement, Canaan is not allowed to independently develop interstellar weapons, and the number of standing armies cannot exceed two million.

And the most cruel point, Canaan Star has to replenish two million recruits to the front line every five years, which is five times the recruitment target of the same level of administrative stars!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that everything the Federation has done is actually squeezing the resources and potential of Canaan in disguise, just like the slave owners in the past oppressed slaves to work without compensation, suppressing heresy through exploitation and oppression.

Slowly, the name Slave Star also pressed into everyone's hearts.
