Riverside wheat field. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Grain production area No. 1987 of the ninth class agricultural star of the Republic.

Looking down from the rusty fire monitoring tower of tens of meters, there are millions of acres of wheat fields as far as the eye can see, the golden wheat waves move with the wind, it looks like a golden ocean rolling waves, nearly 100 agricultural mecha without models, modified and spliced into a line, are harvesting.

"Li Chao! There is a fire at the 415th place! Are you blind! Don't deal with it yet! A loud roar rang out from the microphone.

Li Chao, who was looking through a tattered and yellowed book on the iron tower, hit a spirit, stuffed the book into his arms indiscriminately, climbed down very agilely, jumped on a firefighting mecha under the tower that was painted with various inferior paints, and rushed towards the fire point.

This is the planet discovered at the beginning of the interstellar era, and there were fierce wars here, but with the rapid development of the interstellar era, it is no longer in the strategically important star field at this time, and the mineral resources on the planet have been exhausted, and now it is only a ninth-class agricultural star that can only grow crops such as grain.

Seeing the billowing smoke, Li Chao was so anxious that he sweated, and adjusted the speed of the mecha to the highest speed, and the mecha, which was already rattling, trembled as a whole, and it was completely a tendency to fall apart.

The mecha used in this ninth-class agricultural star grain producing area are all mecha waste that has long been eliminated by the Republic, and the fire-fighting mecha controlled by Li Chao is even more garbage in the garbage, and it does not even have a production function, only a water spray function.

"Bang!"

Seeing that it was about to rush to the 415th place, the mecha suddenly plunged headlong into a large pit four or five meters deep.

Li Chao, who was manipulating the mecha, was hit with a blue nose and swollen face, and his face was covered with blood, and as soon as he looked up, he saw three infrastructure B79 mecha surrounded by the big pit, and a sharp-beaked monkey's cheek face poked out of the mecha led by him: "Haha!" Nosy little mongrel! ”

A few days ago, Hou Qi took advantage of the night to steal grain with a group of people, and was found by Li Chao and reported it truthfully, and then he didn't know how to end it, and he got into trouble with these guys.

"Seventh brother, why don't you just bury him alive!" A mech swings a bucket and fills the pit with a shovel.

The window in front of the firefighting mecha was shattered, and the mud rained down on Li Chao's face.

"Forget it, hehe, this little bastard didn't put out the fire in time, let him live and suffer, and let those other people know what the consequences would be if they took care of my Hou Qi's affairs! Walk! Hou Qi arrogantly took those people and left.

It was difficult to get up from the pit, but fortunately, the power damage of the mecha was not very serious, and it limped to the fire point.

Acres of unharvested ripe wheat have been burned, and several firefighting mechs are putting out the fire.

After watching him manipulate the mecha to approach, he didn't wait for Li Chao's smoking mecha to stop, he directly took him out of the mecha, waved his belt and slapped Li Chao on his head and face: "Idiot! Idiot! There was a fire in the area you were watching, and you didn't report it in time! Firefighting is still so slow! Look! Half of the food in 415 places has been burned! ”

Li Chao was covered in injuries at this time, and it was very obvious that he must have encountered an emergency and did not arrive in time, but Steward Xiao didn't care about these at all, and turned around and kicked Li Chao's mecha again: "This broken copper and iron is useless, go!" Go! Send me to the scrap yard right away for scrapping! Exchange some money to come back and compensate for the loss, and you will go to the garbage sorting place to do things later! ”

Li Chao felt bitter in his heart, sighed heavily, and reached out to touch the fire-fighting mecha that was still a little hot on the fuselage: "Master Huo, even you can't accompany me anymore." ”

His parents originally worked at the Jiang'an Wheat Field Seed Research Institute, but after a big explosion in the Seed Research Institute, there were no bones left, and the family basically didn't leave anything for Li Chao, this mecha was his only remaining property, and it was also the capital he relied on to live.

Thanks to this mecha, he was able to get a job monitoring the fire in the riverside wheat field, and without the mecha, he would have to sort the garbage. Although he didn't know what the specific model of this mecha was, Chen Bo from the wheat field maintenance department told Li Chao with great certainty through the wear and tear of the mecha that the service life of this mecha must be older than the age of Li Chao's dead grandfather.

Li Chao has never regarded this mecha as a simple machine, but as the source of his food and clothing, and even an elder who accompanies him, so Li Chao respectfully calls this mecha "Fire Master".

Huo Ye's fuselage is covered with paint, not rusty like other eliminated mechas, although they are all inferior paints, but it is not difficult to see from the point of preventing rust that Li Chao cares for this mecha.

There are three cuts on the body of the mecha, and the cut is very deep, and it doesn't look like a laser melt cut, but like some sharp weapon slashing hard.

Manipulating the mecha, he walked slowly towards the scrap yard, a breeze blew, and the golden wheat waves surged, Li Chao had an illusion that Huo Ye was not a mecha, but a small ship that was about to sink, and was sent by himself to the deep sea where it was about to disappear forever.

In the scrap yard, countless rotten mecha are piled up.

A huge furnace is on the edge of the scrapyard, two huge mechanical buckets, constantly shoveling rotten mechs into it, under the furnace, several red molten steel spurts out, meandering into the distance, cooling into pieces of steel ingots weighing several tons, which are loaded into an urn-like train car and transported away.

Li Chao manipulated Huo Ye to the scrap yard, and did not walk in, but turned a corner, walked directly onto a stone road next to him, and passed a huge warning sign that read: "Ten kilometers ahead to enter the dangerous area, prohibited!" He ignored it, and after manipulating the mecha for a long time, he came to the edge of a mountain forest, and looked ahead, a bush of poisonous gas mushrooms more than half a meter high was particularly bright, and further on was the area where nuclear energy was seriously polluted, with all kinds of mutated harmful plants, and some particularly ferocious mutant monsters, those places were forbidden places for ordinary humans, even if they controlled the combat mecha, they did not dare to set foot easily.

Li Chao used a rope to bind Huo Ye's joystick, fell from the mecha control cabin to the ground, and then pulled the rope, Huo Ye started, and slowly stepped into the forbidden land.

Anyway, he really couldn't bear to watch Huo Ye being melted into a steel ingot, after entering the forbidden land, no matter how far the only energy source could support Huo Ye to go, but this was the only way that Li Chao could accept when he had to give up Huo Ye.

"Master Huo, take care!"

Watching the colorful mecha that was carefully painted by himself disappear into the dense forest, two lines of tears flowed down Li Chao's cheeks, okay, the only thing to worry about has the best result, and when he returns to the wheat field, even if he is killed by Steward Xiao, there is no regret.

Any reasonable person, when Li Chao comes to this step, will definitely choose to send the mecha to the scrap, exchange some money to compensate for the loss of the fire, and then go to the sorting garbage to do things, and eat together, on the ninth-class agricultural star, except for the various production areas, other places are seriously polluted places, and ordinary people have no way to survive.

What's more, Huo Ye is just a mecha and a bunch of metal, but Li Chao is reluctant to do that, but activates the mecha and lets it enter the forbidden land and dispose of it, which is really stupid to the extreme.

Li Chao looked back at the wheat field in a distracted manner, and he would definitely be humiliated and whipped to death by Steward Xiao when he went back, but the matter had come to this, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Meow...... Meow...... A deep voice sounded behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a numb scalp, and he felt a strong dangerous aura coming from behind him.

When I looked back, I saw a pitch-black animal, next to the cluster of brightly colored poisonous gas mushrooms, slowly walking out, turning its head and grinning at Li Chao from time to time, a scarlet tongue constantly licking its sharp fangs.

It is a sharp-toothed wolf cat, a mutated animal that can weigh up to three or four hundred kilograms when it reaches adulthood, and often haunts the edge of the wheat field, is particularly ferocious, and eats flesh and blood.

I couldn't help but tremble, if Huo Ye was here, although he couldn't fight against the sharp-toothed wolf cat, it was more than enough to manipulate the mecha to escape, like Li Chao's current situation, there was no resistance at all.

"Meow!"

A strong wind surged behind him, and Li Chao ran forward with both feet, even if he ran into the scrap yard, he still had a glimmer of life.

"Shhh Boom! ”

There was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and at the same time, a pair of sharp claws came up from behind, and pressed Li Chao to the ground, and then, the sharp-toothed wolf cat bit down on Li Chao with a big mouth, and the fishy and sticky liquid dripped down his face.
