Volume II Commonwealth Chapter XII Transactions

"Where are you going?" Tianxia, who had been waiting for a long time, called her to stop her, "Go in from here." ”

"I was told I couldn't get into the base," Ciri smiled wryly, "I thought it would be enough to get my name in, but alas, it's more chaotic than I expected." ”

Tianxia looked at the soldiers in the distance a little messy, "They don't recognize you?" ”

Ciri had to shake his head, "I could have blended in with the crowd and waited for the right moment to reveal myself to my thirty-year-old cousin, who would probably recognize me, and this man's eyes were as strong as his sycophants, but now, I can't even get in." ”

“......“

Everyone else went in, the cop uncle and his daughter, the doctor, the lively girl, and the rest of the people who were traveling with him, who turned a deaf ear to Ciri's plight, just as Ciri had done with Leon before. And now, Tianxia suddenly found that he seemed to have become Ciri's only support.

She has abandoned the people in the supermarket twice, and has ignored the innocent people who were hunted by the "white spider" countless times, will she really have a conscience?

Tianxia pursed her lips tightly, "Tell me, once we are safe and sound, do you swear that you will help me find my brother?" ”

Ciri looked up, "I said I owe you a favor," she tightened her scarf unconsciously, "Mother Galactic, as long as I live, I will do my best to help you find your brother, and I will go to the nearest town of Long River, which is only an hour away from here, and it should be safe there, unless this base also falls." ”

Tianxia handed her all the backpacks containing food, "I'll inquire about the situation first, see if I can get some self-defense things, and then I'll follow to get Changhe Town." “

Ciri stared at her in surprise, "There's an army stationed here, but you're going to follow me to Changhe Town?" “

"What better place to be safer than by Princess Valen's side?" Tianxia said with a slight mockery, "If the Second Fleet can land on Earth, I'm afraid that you will be the first to find it." “

"You know who I am......" said him, but Ciri's expression was not surprised.

Tianxia pouted, "No one will ignore the family photo with the amber on the necklace on your chest, you have been praying to it every night for the past two days, although I don't go out much, but I am not as stupid as my brother to even the commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet, Prince Parr, who commands the Western Star Domain, and Lady Ji Rui." "After all, he is the object of the Earth Federation's sincere allegiance, and he is also the supreme commander-in-chief of the thirteen garrison fleets stationed in the Western Star Domain and the main fleet of the Second Fleet commanding them.

"It's a pity......" Ciri unconsciously touched the necklace around her neck, as if it would bring her comfort, "If only those female soldiers could be as smart and clever as Tianxia-san." ”

"Thanks for the compliment," Tianxia pouted, "Don't worry, don't flatter me so much, I'll be back soon." ”

"Who else can reassure me more than Tianxia-san?" Ciri swept away the previous haze, "Then I wish Tianxia-san a smooth return." ”

"By the way," Ciri thought of something, and called to her, "bring these two backpacks and this necklace in." “

This is the first time to look closely at the necklace, Tianxia found that it is a colorful silver bead necklace, on which there is a small galaxy empire of the iconic star ring silver pendant, the silver pendant is an amber photo, if you look closely, she can see that the star ring is engraved with ancient runes, the ancient runes seem to be derived from some kind of ancient imperial script, although she is not an expert in this area, but she also knows that this chain is likely to be some kind of ancient and valuable cultural relics.

"You don't have a single ornament on your body, but you have it with you, it must be important........"

Ciri shook his head, "Food is easy to find, jewelry is easy to buy, but life is hard to change, use it to find someone who knows the goods to exchange for some self-defense weapons." ”

Tianxia was surprised that she trusted her so much, but she soon understood that she thought that her value was more valuable than a mere necklace, and naturally she didn't think that I would be stupid enough to take the necklace and leave her, after all, the necklace is dead, and Princess Valian is still alive.

Tianxia settled down and walked straight into the tent area on the outskirts of the base. Most of the fugitives from the capital or the surrounding urban areas and suburbs and even towns settled here, and of course, many more people would not leave their homes and run all the way to a congested base until they had seen the "white spider". So, if you continue to let that sarcoma corrupt the land, it will soon be unable to accommodate more people.

She found a trail designated for trading, where many pledged their identification and vowed to repay those who would help them tenfold and hundredfold when order was restored, but many more were smart enough to take something of value from the surrounding towns in exchange. Tianxia actually understands that most of the things in the backpack are useful, and they must not be exchanged for all, as for the jewelry, this is probably the most valuable thing on her body. So she found a couple of big sellers, who seemed to be truckers who had fled from a distant town, who were supposed to be in charge of transporting a batch of guns from an arms dealer, and who had come with a truckload of guns, knives, and ammunition because the strange beam had paralyzed the traffic into the city.

Tianxia stood in front of the rows of guns and knives and hesitated for a long time, and finally, one of the drivers came over, "Little sister, what do you want to change?" ”

"Guns and knives," Tianxia gestured casually, "I want to exchange for that AP-10 multi-purpose blaster beam rifle, a steel dagger, and two old former Federation bullet guns." She would never dare to open her mouth, not every driver in this neighborhood sells weapons.

The old driver hugged his shoulders and glanced at her gently, "What do you have to change, little sister?" ”

Tianxia put the silver ring jewelry on the box where the gun was placed, "This is the artifact....... she couldn't be sure if the driver could recognize the thing, and she didn't have much hope, could a truck driver understand the artifact? She was deeply worried.

To her surprise, the driver didn't even look at the thing, but handed it over to a slightly obese woman on the other side. They lowered their heads and muttered something, then the woman looked at the ring pendant with an old-fashioned magnifying glass over and over again, and she whispered a few words to him, then nodded to each other and agreed to her request.

He readily agreed to this deal, which made Tianxia regret it, knowing that the asking price would be a little higher. With chagrin and regret, she tried to ask if she could give another multi-purpose blaster beam rifle, but the old driver shook his head, "What has already been sold cannot be exchanged." His tone was noncommittal, which made Tianxia helpless.
