"Balu, I'm just a prisoner of your cicadas. You're going to make friends with me, don't you think you're being cheap? No kidding! All right? Yue Xingwu looked at Balu with a surprised expression on his face, and said to himself.

"Why? Just because I'm a cicada, and you're a prisoner of our cicadas? You also look down on yourself too much! Balu said incredulously.

Yue Xingwu smiled bitterly a few times and said gratefully, "Balu, thank you for saving me!" However, I really don't have the point of living here! ”

"I don't think you should be so self-defeating! Since the Grand Boss of Modu admires you so much, you can promise it for the time being, and if you have the opportunity in the future, it will not be too late to return to your side. Balu said solemnly to Yue Xingwu. Yue Xingwu touched his chin and walked back and forth a few steps, and also felt that what Balu said made sense.

"Yue Xingwu, presumably you also have parents and relatives at home, they should miss you very much now! Is it too ruthless and unrighteous for you to die like this! Balu's words were reasonable, and the words poked at Yue Xingwu's heart.

Yue Xingwu listened to Balu's righteous words, and was full of emotion for a while. He turned around, walked to the window, looked into the distance with tears in his eyes, and thought silently, "Yes! My parents are now old, and I am away all the year round, so I am really derelict as a son! ”

"Good! I can agree to Modo's request for the time being, but I have one condition. Yue Xingwu turned to look at Balu and listened to him.

Seeing that he agreed, Balu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked eagerly, "Yue Xingwu, say it!" What exactly are the conditions? I'll pass it on to the Modu Chieftain and get him to answer you. ”

"Baru, I can promise him for the time being, but I will never betray humanity, let alone participate in the war with humanity. If he agrees, I can consider surrendering temporarily. Yue Xingwu said categorically.

"This ...... All right! I'll tell it to you. It is not yet known whether it agrees or not. You rest here first, I've arranged for someone to take care of you. You can learn some common sense from her to facilitate your needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Okay, I'll go out first. After listening to Yue Xingwu's words, Balu hesitated less, and then said in a very sincere tone.

"Thank you, Baru!" Yue Xingwu said very gratefully. Balu smiled slightly, but did not speak, he turned and walked out of the Wave Gate, and with a slight wave of his hand, the Light Gate disappeared.

"I originally thought that the cicadas were all cold-blooded monsters, but I didn't expect that there were such affectionate and righteous characters among them. Ay! Our understanding of them is too one-sided. Yue Xingwu looked at the white wall where the Wave Gate disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was staring at the wall in a daze, when the Wave Gate suddenly appeared on the wall again. Then, a middle-aged woman walked in, and Yue Xingwu was so startled that she almost screamed.

"Who are you? How can there be humans here? Yue Xingwu looked at the woman and said in surprise.

"I am Captain Balu's servant, my name is Qin Xia, and he arranged for me to take care of your daily life. This is the food and drink I brought, please use it slowly! As she spoke, the woman took out some bread, eggs, and two bottles of drink from the box she was holding in her left hand.

Yue Xingwu looked at these foods and drinks, although he was already hungry, he didn't make a move to eat them.

"Mr. Yue, please don't worry, these are all nano-synthetic foods made of Star Soul Matter, which Captain Balu specially asked me to buy from the human camp. Listen to him, you haven't replenished energy for a long time, for your health, hurry up and consume! The woman looked at him gently, and said calmly.

Yue Xingwu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" Thank you. Then, he picked up the bread and devoured it. After a while, she ate all the food she had brought.

"Mr. Yue, drink saliva, don't hold it." Qin Xia handed him a bottle of drink, her eyes full of anticipation. Yue Xingwu didn't speak, hurriedly unscrewed the drink bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ms. Qin, why are you here? You don't behave like you've just arrived here, so you've been here for a long time, right? After Yue Xingwu had eaten and drunk enough, he asked her again.

"It's a long story, our family was trafficked here by the Galactic Hunters, and it's been almost thirty years." Qin Xia wiped her tears as she spoke.

"Galactic Hunter? How could they do such a hurtful thing? I really want to break them to pieces! Yue Xingwu said angrily.

"There are still some people here, who have been plundered by force from the Cicadas. Here they serve as slaves and live a life that is inferior to cattle and horses. I'm a little better, with Captain Baroo, and not mistreated. Qin Xia looked at Yue Xingwu and continued to speak.

"What kind of planet is this? Do you know the exact location of the planet? Yue Xingwu asked her impatiently.

"The cicadas call it the Dry Cicada Planet, which is said to be a planet of the γ Cassiopeia. I've heard from other people too, and I don't know the details! Qin Xia replied fifteen-ten.

Yue Xingwu was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears.

The distance between γ and α in the constellation Cassiopeia is at least 80 light-years, and it takes at least four years to drive the fastest faster-than-light spaceship of the Xia people. In the next four years, there can be no accidents, and energy must be kept sufficient. It can be said that the distance between the two is unusually long, and the time required is unacceptable.

"Mr. Yue, Mr. Yue......" Qin Xia's cry interrupted Yue Xingwu's thoughts.

Only then did he come back to his senses and said to Qin Xia embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Qin Xia." I just thought about something else. By the way, I also want to ask you, what did the cicadas do for them when they plundered us humans to the Withered Cicada? Is it just to be their servant? ”

"No, only a very small number of women can be their servants, and most of the others will be reduced to slavery. The Cicadas forced human slaves to mine ores for them, build tools, and even become gladiators for their entertainment, all in the work of inferior people. Human slaves have no freedom and no self-esteem, and live like pigs and dogs, inferior to the beetle tribe they control. Qin Xia said sullenly.

"And where do you all live? Is it inside these tree-like buildings? Yue Xingwu asked curiously.

"Hahaha...... Mr. Yue, do you think it will? It's all inhabited by cicadas, and we human slaves only deserve to live in camps in the wasteland. Qin Xia listened to Yue Xingwu's words, and actually laughed bitterly.

"Why don't people rise up and revolt? Are you willing to be their slaves? Yue Xingwu said very angrily.

"Mr. Yue, we are unarmed, how can we fight the cicada star people with steel and iron armor and advanced weapons! Besides, we still have to rely on labor remuneration in exchange for the star soul material in their hands, which can be used to make nano-synthetic food. Although the food produced by the alliance is not as pure as energy, it can at least sustain life. Qin Xia said unusually sadly.

Yue Xingwu sighed and said; "What a pain it has been! Do you know how many human slaves there are in the Cicada-controlled area? ”

Qin Xia thought about it for a while, and said exactly: "I'm not sure how many human slaves there are, plus the other planets controlled by the Cicada Star people, how can I say that there are seven or eight million!" This withered planet is the stronghold of the cicadas, and there are more human slaves here than on other planets, and it is said that there are nearly two million people scattered in different camps on the planet. ”

Yue Xingwu asked Qin Xia so many questions before he learned that this planet actually had so many dark pasts hidden. He frowned, thinking of what had happened in the past few days, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Qin Xia looked at Yue Xingwu who was sullen and comforted him, "Mr. Yue, don't be unhappy. Listen to Captain Baroo, you are his friend. Captain Baru is a rare good guy among the Cicadas, and you won't have much trouble getting to know him! ”

"Maybe! It is also providential to get to this point! As a soldier of the Alliance, I didn't die on the battlefield, but I was captured here by them and became a prisoner, and I really didn't live in the world! As Yue Xingwu spoke, he slammed his head with his right fist.

Qin Xia hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said comfortingly, "Mr. Yue, don't do this!" As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Why do we slaves still live and live? Isn't it just to wait for the day when the Alliance fleet will free us! Don't be cranky, you should try your courage now! ”

When Yue Xingwu heard this, his mouth suddenly opened, and he couldn't help but think: "Yes! Now that I'm dead, it's really a wretch! And there are still so many enslaved humans on the planet, who need to be rescued by the Alliance, and their mission is not over yet! ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Qin Xia's arm and said with infinite gratitude: "Sister Qin's words really benefited me a lot!" Thank you! ”

"Mr. Yue, if you want to open it, it's fine! You are still young, you should go and create the future! Instead of dwelling on the frustration in front of you! Qin Xia encouraged him.

"Don't call me sir, just call me Brother Xingwu!" Yue Xingwu was indescribably excited.

Qin Xia saw that his mood had improved, and said happily: "Okay, Brother Xingwu!" Now that you've thought of everything, I'm going to teach you some essential life skills to adapt to life here in no time! Yue Xingwu nodded vigorously, with tears in his eyes, in his eyes, Qin Xia was his own sister.

In the next few days, Yue Xingwu followed Qin Xia to learn some simple life skills such as opening doors and windows. These techniques are actually not complicated, and can be achieved by silently reciting some cicada language mantras and using specific gestures. Under Qin Xia's step-by-step teaching, Yue Xingwu was able to open the sparkling door and exterior window.
