Volume 2 The Great World Chapter 120, A Familiar Home
Maybe there's a new member in the family? I wonder if the old people are in good health? Hu Er stood here as if he was a little shorter, and turned back into the young man with a smile on his face.
In the early years of the Star War, the Zerg completely relied on their numerical superiority to drag down their opponents, the lives of the Zerg were worthless, they were vulnerable on the battlefield, and millions of insect corpses became cannon fodder, laying a solid foundation for the progress of civilization.
Many unknown things are only known as members of the Zerg itself, but most of those who charge into battle are cultivated through the worm pond, and the reason why they are vulnerable is because the concentration of the nutrient solution used by the worm pond to make them is not enough.
In addition to its similar appearance, it has the same effect as the human artificial intelligence, and is a ruthless war machine in the Zerg.
There is no shadow of war in the life of the small town, it is still a little early, and on both sides of the road are shops that are preparing to open, Hu Er, a returnee from afar, did not disturb the busy shopkeepers. He strolls through the old streets where he used to play every day as a child, and there are no children out yet.
There is no difference from normal civilization, when they reach the age of teenagers, they go to school to learn knowledge, and those who have completed their studies go to find suitable jobs for themselves. It's just that the appearance is different, and the Zerg, as the top existence of a higher civilization, rarely happens to be barbaric and violent.
Follow the creek along the way to the end of the street, in front of a three-story residential house. Looking at the mottled walls and the appearance covered by verdant vines, it tells the visitors about the years they have gone through here.
Knock knock, knock knock.
"When you come, you don't let people sleep well in the morning...... Big Big Brother? "The one who opened the door was a Zerg boy, whose translucent wings were crumpled because he had just gotten up from his bed.
Like, it looks like you've grown a little taller? The one in front of him is his younger brother, the Zerg family usually has a certain size, perhaps because of the Zerg itself, the efficiency of reproduction is surprisingly high, and their family already had more than a dozen children before he entered the army.
His parents have no education, and the names are a bit arbitrary, so they directly arrange them according to the numbers, which is also an anecdote at the dinner table after drinking in the town, and I can't help but think of his boss, and the name is also very arbitrary.
"Well, my little brother has grown a lot taller, have you studied hard in school?"
"Why are you the same as Mom? The army won't just train you. The younger brother said angrily, reaching out to take the burden that Hu Er was carrying, his arm was obviously sinking because of the heavy package, and the muscles on his arm were prominent, so he should have exercised normally.
The furnishings of the house have not changed, and when I returned to my room, although I had been away for a long time, my own bed was still clean.
The younger siblings should all go to school at this time, and the younger brother is on vacation today to help with household chores at home. The work in these three-story rooms is hidden in subtle places, and if you don't usually see it but do it seriously, you will all run out in one go.
Obviously, his younger brother in adolescence is not good at these things, and he still dreams of joining the army like his brother and becoming a hero who kills enemies on the battlefield.
Since he was a child, his room has been equipped with bunk beds, even if it is a three-story room, because of the large number of family members, the room is still relatively tight. The desks at home are also shared, and the problem of food and clothing alone is enough to make parents run all day.
This is also a problem that most local families have to face, the income of small towns is not high, and the income of tens of thousands of Zerg currency per month can be regarded as a good job with face, and the choice of entering the army will be under great pressure in front of the elders.
"Brother, this set of training equipment is not cheap, is it, Dad will give you so much money?" Habitually looking down at the bottom of the bed, where all the childhood toys that I didn't want my parents to know about were hidden. At this moment, Hu Er took out a dumbbell that exuded a metallic luster.
Delicate metal products are often sold at exorbitant prices in stores, and the Zerg have a very strict control over metal, and the craftsmanship of this dumbbell is obviously from those big factories, coupled with the lack of craftsmanship, the price is naturally expensive.
My father's shop is located next door, and it is a fast-food restaurant that makes food, and there is a lot of traffic every day.
's mother is a surgeon in a hospital in the town, and she is a strong backing for these playful children, which is why Hu Er has the idea of joining the army.
"Didn't you go to Daddy's to help?" Seeing that everything was fine, Hu Er's mood was relieved, although he had followed the boss for more than half a year, he had seen scenes that he might not have been exposed to in his life, and he returned to his hometown this time, and he may not be able to come back next time.
The communicator he carried with him showed the recent itinerary, and he would stay on the planet for at least ten days, although he didn't say it explicitly, Hu Erda still felt the boss's empathy in his heart.
"Go when you wake up, do you want to go with your brother?"
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, haha, I haven't tasted my father's craft for a long time."
The environment of the small town is very comfortable, and the people living around are all familiar faces, and by noon everyone is busy with their morning's work, and they gather in small shops in twos and threes. The smell wafted through the open windows, beckoning passers-by to dine.
"Daddy, my brother is back!" The younger brother ran in first, passed through the seats in the store, and came to the back kitchen.
"Huh? Your brother? Didn't you say that you died on the battlefield? Although it is separated by the partition in the back kitchen, this sentence is deliberately loud so that the customers can also hear it.
The eldest son, who ran away more than 10 years ago, only regularly sends his salary back every year, but in the last year, there has been no news, and there has been no return to support the family's allowance. This made my father anxious, and he looked for an opportunity to go to the city to inquire about the situation, and the result given there was that the battlefield was missing.
The result given by the management office in the city is to lose contact during the mission in the alien domain, which usually occurs, and the chance of survival is very small.
"Daddy." Under the complicated gaze of the diners, Hu Er slowly walked into the back kitchen, and saw the old father whose waist was no longer straight, and Hu Er felt guilty. Because I was not at home and could not help, the heavy burden was not reduced in the slightest.
In the hearts of the Zerg people, going to the army is by no means a good job, most of the gangsters who have no ability or like to commit crimes, and because of the continuous war, the salary of the army is not rich, and it is easy to default on wages.
"Humph! Stinky boy, you still have the face to come back. "Dad's face is ugly, these years of hard work have made him age faster, and those old friends have handed over the store to the next generation, and only he is still sticking to his post.
"This is his eldest son? looks fierce, most of them are gangsters. ”
"I was quite honest when I was a child, I really didn't expect it to be like this."
"One-eyed dragon, I remember that your eldest son is now working in a service center in the city, and that salary is high!"
Most of the diners have an impression of Hu Er, after all, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and their appearance has changed somewhat, so Hu Er didn't recognize him for a while.
At this moment, a young man of the same age and wearing a clean uniform walked in, and hugged Hu Er warmly the moment he saw him: "Hu Er, I didn't expect to see you again, I come here to eat every day!" ”
"Skinny Monkey, you're in good spirits now, what is this uniform?" Unexpectedly, this Fa Xiao has now become a law enforcement officer in the town, and he will spend his leisure time here on weekdays.
"If you don't come again, you won't be able to see this street, and Fat Dragon will build a playground here."
If the town really wants to develop, it has to carry out tourism construction, and if it really contracts this old street, many shops, including his father, will have to close their doors.
This is why Hu Er noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere when he first came here, and he was facing the pressure of unemployment, which made the diners here depressed, Hu Er turned his head to look at his father, who was busy with his head down, and felt a little sad.
It seems that Hu Er forgot to turn off the communication, Ma Yang heard all the conversations from the communicator, and he found that the Zerg itself was completely different from the rumored image created by the outside world, more like the scene in the underground city of his hometown, so ordinary and peaceful.
With aimless wandering, Ma Yang quietly came to the door of this restaurant, as he grew up in a barbecue restaurant, it was full of familiar feelings, which made Ma Yang feel very familiar. As soon as I walked into the store, I happened to see Hu Er standing in the middle of the room, talking to another young man of the same race.
And seeing the reactions of the surrounding diners, they should all be familiar with each other, after all, they are all familiar residents in the neighborhood who have lunch here.
In addition to the differences in appearance, most of the names they call each other are nicknames, and the Zerg basically have no official names. Seeing the boss suddenly walk in, Hu Er blushed suddenly, "Boss." ”
"Since it's not easy to come, of course I have to come over and take a look, everyone here should eat and drink, I invited this meal."
By the way, I took out a gold card, which was handled in a nearby bank, and exchanged the general currency for the local currency of the Zerg, after all, it was for Hu Er's family, so it was better to convert it directly.
"Kari is the latest salary, although it is not much, but it is also a piece of heart, give it to your father." To be able to redeem a gold card, at least one million is required, and one million is an absolute astronomical amount in such a remote place.
You can buy several old shops like this. When the father quietly returned to the back kitchen and inserted the gold card into the card reader, the number on the display shocked the cook, who was over half a hundred years old.
"Stinky boy, come over to me!" Looking at the serious face of the old father, it is usually when he is nervous that he shows such a serious expression. "Are you sure this is the army? How can so much money be given. That's a whole 10 million! ”
"Ten million? Wait for me to ask the boss, you can take the money first. Hu Er knew in his heart that the boss could follow him here, it should be through the communicator that he forgot to turn off, the boss's domineering and kindness have always been the best way to recruit talents, and he has never been soft-hearted in terms of money alone.
Click, click, click. Suddenly there was a sound of metal colliding in the direction of the warehouse, and a faint golden light flashed from the oil-stained back window, and it was moving towards this direction.
