Chapter 157: The Slum

The wind continued to blow in the wilderness, and the roar of machinery could be heard in the distance. Two old-looking flying cars arrived at the abandoned sleeping pod, and then the five people jumped from the flying cars, and their eyes sank when they saw that only the empty hibernation pod was left on the scene.

A light-blond-haired woman stepped forward to check it out and said, "The hibernation pod was opened by outsiders, someone should have found her and taken her away, what next?" ”

Another man with a curly beard was tall and strong, and his momentum was outrageous, and a pair of angry eagle eyes looked gloomily into the distance, and said: "Naturally, we have to find out that woman, so that we have sacrificed so many brothers to rob her in vain, if we can't deliver the goods, the other party will not pay, what's the use?" ”

His face was not very good, and in fact when he found out that the sleeping pod was empty, the faces of those present were not very good.

They are a group of interstellar wanderers who dare to do anything as long as their employers are willing to pay, and lawless thugs in the eyes of the world. They have no nationality and no residence, the interstellar is where they live, they only recognize money, even if the federal empire unites to encircle and suppress them, they are helpless. Compared to those territory-conscious pirates, interstellar thugs have no fixed residence, and as long as they have money, they can live happily anywhere.

This time, one of the tasks they received was to take a cub from Kira State, and there were people on the other side to cooperate with them, but because they were too close to the explosion, they killed several brothers. Then it's time to escape, only to encounter another group of star thieves along the way.

As a result, the dormancy chamber was lost, and they immediately followed the trajectory of the hibernation capsule to this barren and deserted planet, but they didn't expect to be a step too late.

Another attentive companion went to inspect it and said, "Boss, there are no traces on the ground, and it is impossible to tell which direction the other party is going. "It's barren land on all sides, and there's no trace to follow, so it's really hard to find.

The bearded man said to the woman beside him, "Check the nearest human city from here, they should be going to the human city." ”

The woman answered, and began to flexibly call up the terminal to inquire. After checking it again, she frowned brown: "Boss Li, I'm sorry, this planet has a special magnetic field, which interferes with the signal of the terminal and cannot be queried." ”

It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the bearded black brows were furrowed, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Divide into two groups, search for me everywhere, and I must find them!" If you find their whereabouts, use special equipment to contact them. ”

They are a group of outlaws who have been to many strange planets, so they will naturally prepare some special contacts that can not be interfered with by magnetic fields in a short distance, of course, there is no other use except for being able to contact in a short distance.

The crowd replied yes, and quickly distributed their men and walked in both directions.

At this time, Cersei and the boy had already arrived at the gate of a city, and Cersei did not notice that the person who did not look like a good person had caught up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he asked the young man in a tone.

"Who are you and what is this place?"

"Planet Beman, my name is Gerald" The teenager who got the star coins honestly authentic. His eyes have also changed from the original calculation to extremely sincere and sincere, which is bound to make the other party find that he is harmless.

Howling

I didn't pay much attention to the change in attitude towards him, but searched in my mind where the planet Beman was.

"Beman Star? Where is it?. "Cersei had never heard of this planet at all.

After listening, Gerald knew that it was another person who had no impression of the Beman planet at all, but it was also easy to understand that the Beyman star was just a barren planet located on the edge of the Ophiuchus galaxy, and even the resources were pitiful, and there was no need to mine it at all, plus it was too close to the front-line battlefield, and there were often Zerg who accidentally crossed the front-line defense line to wreak havoc here, making the humans living here perennial war, and doing everything to survive.

He was born in Beman, and when he was born, his parents died, and he was raised by an old man who was a scavenger, and then the old man died, and he lived on his own.

He is twenty-five years old, and although he is still a teenager, he has honed his skills in this harsh environment. I came out today to try my luck and see if I could meet any strange beasts or something, who knew that I would see a sleeping pod falling from the sky......

After listening to this, he thought for a while and then asked, "How far is this from the Federation Star?" ”

After Gerald heard this, he knew that she was a member of the Federation, so he couldn't help but pout, and a hatred of the rich appeared in his heart, and said: "Far away, separated by several galaxies, even if you directly take the starship to jump in continuous space, it will take a month." Seeing that she looked at herself expressionlessly, she added, "It's very poor here, there are no special starships to navigate with other planets, if you want to leave, you can only wait for some passing star pirate starships to come over and trade with them, if you can satisfy them, I can naturally take you away." ”

As for the fate of leaving with the interstellar pirates, tsk, people with brains also know the result.

"This is the wilderness, the temperature will drop to zero at night, and there will be a lot of terrible beasts, and there will even be zerg, humans will not spend the night in the wilderness, it is too dangerous. Of course, if you don't dislike it, you can go back to the city with me and stay at my house for a few days, you gave me so many star coins, I won't leave you alone. Gerald said with a sincere face.

There is no other way, for now, I can only find a place to stay, and then find a way to contact Uncle Lu.

This is a black city, and the human city built in this black scorched earth, the color of which is similar to the land, makes it inconspicuous.

You don't need to check your identity to enter the city, as long as you can afford to enter the city, and the policy is quite lenient. However, after entering the city, you can only afford your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, if you can't afford it, you can steal and cheat with your ability, as long as you don't make trouble, if you don't have the ability, you can get out of the city directly.

Therefore, this city where human beings live is both evil and maintains the safety of human beings, so that the human beings living here are fierce and calculating, and it is no wonder that Gerald's first reaction after discovering Cerser was to want to sell her for money - he was poor and crazy.

After paying the entrance fee for two people, he drove the flying car into the city, flew in the city for another ten minutes, and turned into a narrow road. Stopped in front of a peeling, mottled house, Gerald jumped out of the car.

"Yo, Jara is back? What's the takeaway today? "A dirty head poked out of the house next door, and a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face was pregnant

Look at him kindly.

Gerald rolled his eyes and sneered: "I'm very unlucky today, I haven't found anything, and I may be hungry for a few days!" Daddy Clay, why don't you pick me up for a few days? Pay you back as soon as I earn money? ”

With a bang, the door next door shut.

Gerald sneered and opened the door, then said to the people in the flying car: "This is my house, you can come down." ”

Cersei jumped out of the car and looked around curiously, frowning slightly at the cramped and filthy place, a little frustrated by the weird smell of garbage in the corners. It may be that she has been here for so long, and she has come into contact with a relatively rich and civilized planet, needless to say, the appearance of the city, the first time she saw the so-called slums, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and even a little ignorant thinking, isn't there a cleaning robot to deal with the city's garbage?

"What? Abandon? Gerald led her into the room and closed the door, hiding the malicious gaze from outside.

Seeing her show this expression, I thought that she hated the environment here, and that hatred of the rich had risen again, and I couldn't help but feel a little ironic.

"No, it's just that there are no cleaning robots?" Cersey asked.

Gerald looked at her speechlessly, secretly wondering if this must be a pampered young lady from a large family in the Federation to be so ignorant. I don't know if I can pay her more if I have helped her now.

"There is a lack of resources here, and it is good that humans can eat enough, how can there be such a thing? There are cleaning robots, but those are not responsible for such places. ”

"Oh."

He led Cersei into his home, a small apartment, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, with the balcony half divided into a kitchen and half used to dry clothes. The room is about ten square meters large, the hall is twenty square meters, the bathroom is so small that there is no washstand, you have to brush your teeth and wash your face directly to the balcony.

After observing in silence, he withdrew his gaze and sat upright on the dilapidated sofa in the living room, from which he knew that the young man was really poor.

"I don't know what your life was like before, but that's what it is here." Gerald saw that Cersei had been frowning, and couldn't help but say, "It's good that the people of Beman Star can have a place to stay, except for the city lord, and the bosses of those districts, everyone's houses are similar to mine." ”

"Aren't you going out to school?" Cersei still didn't believe there were even starliners here.

Gerald was amused by her: "Going to school? Where is the money? Not to mention the tuition fees, there are really passenger ships, and no one can afford to buy ferry tickets. ”

"Nobody goes out to school?" Cersei showed an incredulous expression, "Does the Federation care?" ”

Gerald's expression was even more incredible than hers: "Where do you think the Federation would take care of such a thing??" ”

The cubs can receive three free nutrient solutions every day, and 100 star coins for another month is already the best treatment that the Federation gives to its people. Gerald became more and more curious about Cersser's origins, but he also knew that sometimes the more he knew, the faster he died.

"Okay, today there is only the nutrient solution, one for each of us, and tomorrow morning we will go to the wilderness to try our luck and see if we can catch the prey."
