Chapter 130: Expectation
Of course, Ye Chen didn't know that he had become a 'big star' on the Golden Mountain Planet. At this time, he was on his way to Altair.
Blood Moon got up early in the morning, Grandpa Li was old after all, and his health was not very good, so she naturally had to be diligent.
The news that the Andromeda Star Domain and the Cromwell Star Domain were occupied by the Galactic Empire has spread throughout the two star fields, and Altair is certainly no exception.
However, because Altair is only a level 8 planet in the barren Bromwell star field, its main function is to dispose of the garbage generated by the two nearby level 7 planets and this star, and then use a garbage ship to transport it to each garbage star for dumping.
The No. 779 garbage star that Ye Chen lived in before was one of the many garbage stars next to Altair.
The world is like this, there is no absolute fairness, and there is no absolute unfairness.
The high-level planet that used to be prosperous is now like a hell on earth. And the junk planet, which has always been hell, did not arouse any interest from the Galactic Empire's army.
Linhai University had already suspended classes as early as when the Andromeda Star Domain next door was in full swing. The entire Altair, whether it is a businessman, a family, etc., as long as it is a capable person, has already left Altair with his family and retreated towards the Lyra Star Domain.
And the allied soldiers stationed on Altair, as the remaining living force, were taken away by Vice Admiral Wang Ninghai's retreating fleet.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the strength of the Galactic Empire's participation in the attack on the space fleet this time is too strong, and these soldiers can only be sent to death if they stay.
So, most of what is currently left behind by Altair are civilians and low-level guard troops.
Grandpa Li and Blood Moon are, of course, ordinary civilians. They weren't even eligible to buy tickets to escape from Altair and the Space Transport Ship, let alone the tickets that cost up to 10 million gold coins each.
Blood Moon left Linhai University and returned to Grandpa Li's noodle shop. Continue to help Grandpa Li take care of it. She believed that Ye Chen would definitely come back to pick them up.
In the face of adversity, there is no hope. That's no different from The Walking Dead.
The weather on Altair today is good, the Blood Moon opens the store, and since it's still early, there are very few pedestrians on the street.
Blood Moon casually pressed the switch of the air purifier on the wall, and the air purifier worked softly, and the extremely fine water mist and invigorating negative ions were continuously delivered from the air purifier.
It didn't take long for the air inside the store to feel refreshed. Blood Moon turned on the store's laser-projected TV, which played the morning news from Altair:
"According to the latest news, after the fall of the entire Cromwell Star Field. Planets above level 6, including the level 4 planet of the star field capital and Nanping Star, have been ransacked by the Galactic Empire army.
Everything has become the property of the Galactic Empire, and the hundreds of billions of people on those planets have become slaves of the Galactic Empire.
They are being sent by the Galactic Empire to be sent by the large space transport ship above level 3, and gradually transported back to the Galactic Empire.
According to the information publicly released by the Galactic Empire military on the interstellar virtual network today, the space fleets that invaded the Cromwell star field will continue to 'crusade' against the planets below level 6 in the star field, except for the junk star.
This news is bad news for the rest of the people of this planet, including me!
I will continue to bring the latest news to the rest of the people on this planet. Wow!! I don't want to be a slave, I'm so young!! Woo woo woo .."
The female host in the live news room on TV did not have any scruples to cry in front of all the audience during the live broadcast.
The director didn't interrupt the broadcast either, because he knew it didn't make any sense.
The Galactic Empire is a monarchy, and the allied democracy is completely a state system with two opposing systems.
In the Galactic Empire, the slave trade was legal. Many cosmic mercenaries and cosmic pirates are slave owners, and have been hunting slaves of other alien races for the nobles of the Galactic Empire.
The most famous of these is the slave of the elves. The handsome men and beauties of the elven clan have always been sought-after in the aristocratic circle of the Galactic Empire. As for humans of the same race after the Galactic Empire's army conquered the territories of other human forces, both men and women will become slaves.
Men will do the hardest physical work such as reclamation and mining in the fiefs of the various nobles of the Galactic Empire.
The vastness of the universe is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The vast territory of the Galactic Empire is home to countless planets waiting to be explored.
Although the technology of the Age of Exploration is very advanced, various engineering mecha and robots have long been widely used. However, the aristocrats of all classes of the Galactic Empire prefer to use slaves to develop these planets with harsh environments or many native terrifying alien creatures.
Because the lives of these slaves are worthless. It doesn't cost too much either. You know, it's the most ordinary level 9 engineering mecha, and its own value is far more than the value of 1,000 slaves.
Male slaves, on the other hand, were able to maintain their physical strength as long as they had low-level compressed food. This kind of business, which costs almost nothing, of course, makes male slaves very popular. Their attrition is not worth mentioning at all. No, just send a task to the slave trader to capture.
The Cosmic Mercenary Guild and the Cosmic Pirate Group will not be attacked by the Galactic Empire's forces. These two forces belong to the kind of powerful and very idle organizations. It has always been an unspoken rule not to participate in the wars of such large forces as the state.
Now, the Galactic Empire is about to go to war with the Free Planets Alliance, as the war progresses. Although it has only occupied two star fields of the Alliance, among them, there is another star field called Bromwell, which is still a barren star field, but the Galactic Empire has already obtained hundreds of billions of human slaves.
As a result, in the Galactic Empire's slave market, the price of human slaves has been hit hard, and it has fallen to an incomprehensible range.
Now a sturdy male human slave, worth only 100 gold coins. And a level 9 engineering mecha or robot costs millions of gold coins. This huge disparity makes the lives of male slaves even less valuable.
The Galactic Empire's attitude towards slaves is made public in the interstellar virtual network. Therefore, ordinary civilians in the areas where the League has fallen are living in deep fear every day.
Their beautiful home has long since turned into hell.
This kind of thing is nothing new in human history. As early as in the history of the asteroid Earth, a so-called 'human ancestral star' in the Milky Way, the bloody policy of the white race towards other races, especially the black race, is still described in detail in the public location of the historical zone in the interstellar virtual network.
The white race almost wiped out the black race. And the indigenous Indian race in North America on Earth was not so lucky. Now, in the Age of Discovery, that race has long since become extinct. The black race has also become very rare.
The fate of female civilians in the occupied areas is even more tragic. A small number of beautiful young women will become the playthings of nobles or great families. And the vast majority of the rest will enter the army to 'decompress' the soldiers of the troops who are fighting bloodily on the front line.
This is the reason why the Free Planets Democratic Alliance, although very powerful, has been pressed and beaten by the Galactic Empire.
A woman with a good appearance like the live host on TV now has a high chance of being taken by the nobles of the Galactic Empire and become a plaything until she dies.
A more beautiful woman like Blood Moon will have a more tragic ending! To say that Blood Moon is not afraid in her heart is fake, Blood Moon has a blind belief in Ye Chen, this is her first man. She believed that Ye Chen would definitely come back to save her and Grandpa Li.
After a while, Grandpa Li also got up and helped clean up together. His heart is also heavy, he is not very worried about his future, he is in his 70s.
In the Galactic Empire, slaves over the age of 50 are not eligible to survive. Because it has no use value, it is generally directly 'disposed of'. But Blood Moon is only in his 20s, and he hopes that Blood Moon can live well.
Grandpa Li swept the floor and said with emotion: I don't know what happened to that Ye boy?
Because Altair is a level 8 planet, it is not currently attacked by the Galactic Empire's space fleet, and the planet is quite calm for the time being. Although there is no good future in sight, people always have to eat, so Grandpa Li's noodle shop is still open.
Now that the price of Altair is skyrocketing and inflationary, a bowl of beef noodles in the noodle shop has been sold for 100 gold coins, which is the price of an ordinary slave in the Galactic Empire.
Although the income of the noodle shop has increased, the cost has also increased, so Grandpa Li's noodle shop has not made any money, and can only barely maintain it.
Just after cleaning, a middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth walked in. Grandpa Li was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Brother Huang, why is it so early today?" "Brother Huang is the captain of the guard in the nearby jurisdiction, and now the biggest backer of the noodle shop.
If Ye Chen must have known him here, he killed those little gangsters to save Grandpa Li when he first came to Altair. This Brother Huang is one of the guards at the investigation site.
The man named Brother Huang said: "Uncle Li, there's no way, there's something going on today!" Brother Huang familiarly chose a seat against the wall. Grandpa Li saw Brother Huang holding a cigar and looked like he had just woken up. couldn't help but say carefully: "Brother Huang, is it still the same today?" ”
When Brother Huang heard this, he took off the cigar in his mouth, and said with a haha: "Well, it's the same old way!" ”
Grandpa Li cast a color on the blood moon, and the blood moon began to prepare in the kitchen.
"Uncle Li, the beef noodles made by Blood Moon are much better than yours, I haven't been here for two days, I'm really a little greedy!" Brother Huang said with a smile. His eyes looked at Blood Moon's graceful figure, and his eyes were full of lust.
Although he had been to the noodle shop before, the world was okay at that time, the Galactic Empire had not yet attacked the alliance, Blood Moon was studying at Linhai University, and Brother Huang had never seen Blood Moon. Later, the world was in chaos, and Blood Moon returned to the noodle shop to help after suspending school, as soon as Brother Huang saw Blood Moon's appearance, he was immediately shocked, and began to come to the store twice in three days to harass Blood Moon.
Although Grandpa Li also knew the origin of this product, he didn't dare to resist. The whole Altair's rules are crumbling day by day.
