Chapter VII

The girls, who didn't know what happened to the traffickers behind, still maintained their mood, driving their own cars around the complex city, and continuing their lives.

The blue-gray city bones, the exposed steel, reflecting the sunlight, also stained the sky into a gray dull appearance, the surrounding scenery is almost the same, Chu Lie slowly retracted his gaze, and asked Yuli who was staring at the sky blankly:

"Yuri....... Where is your destination? ”

"Is it the city called B-21?"

"B-21, it's not very far from us, but it's not a destination...... There's something like a destination, Yuri doesn't know very well......"

Yuri stretched, her face full of laziness and indifference, "When Grandpa was there, he warned us not to approach that city casually. ”

"Anyway, we've always been just like that, looking for supplies, looking for food, or looking for something of value, going to the gathering area on the road to exchange some food and oil, so the destination doesn't make sense to us."

"Our days are like a spiral, constantly turning and turning~ The journey that never stops is our life........

"'Poet', it's really leisurely......."

Xiao Qian, who was driving the vehicle, sighed faintly: "I've been trying my best to find supplies and food here~"

"Ah......... Hey~"

Yu Li tried to fool himself and laughed, Chu Lie's eyes moved slightly, and after being silent for a moment, he said slowly: "This kind of life is meaningless. ”

"Yes~ But even if it's meaningless, there will still be good things occasionally."

Yuli replied with a grin, and the smile on her immature face made Chu Lie feel a little dazzling.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is that ......."

"But, Yuri, Xiaoqian~"

At this moment, the gentle voice of the 'Fox' fell, attracting the attention of the two girls, the former Major General His Excellency held one hand on the edge of the carriage, and smiled helplessly: "We should almost get closer to the city~"

"Recently, food and supplies have become more and more difficult to find in these more remote places~"

"Moreover, when your grandfather was still alive before, he warned you not to go to that giant city, I should be worried about your safety~ After all, that place is relatively prosperous, and mercenaries and interstellar bandits are often haunted~"

"But it's different now, with Chu Lie here, ordinary interstellar bandits are not a problem at all, besides, don't you really want to go to the city to have a look?"

"Hmm......"

Yuli's face showed a hint of emotion, and Xiao Qian's eyes also crossed a trace of hesitation-

After all, I have been in this area for more than two years, and the places that can be explored have been explored several times, and after the search of I don't know how many scavengers, the remaining supplies and food in this abandoned city at this time are really getting less and less~

In a short period of time, it can be very difficult to meet the food share of four people.

"That ......"

After a slight groan, Xiao Qian made a decision-

"Let's go to the gathering area for refueling first, and then move closer to the B-21 city......

"But entering the city directly at one time, sure enough, it's still a little too dangerous~"

"Well, if you're close to the city, it's going to be easier to search than it is now...... After all, the rule of waste pickers is to stay away from central city areas. ”

Smiling gently, the Fox' looked into the distanceβ€”the city, and many more dead, about to receive its second death in ten days.

For the first time died civilians.

The second time the remnants and descendants of this common people will once again suffer unjustly for the benefit of others.

They got the news, but they couldn't explain it to the girls......... Leaving aside the issue of trust, it is difficult for them to understand the weapons of destruction alone, but ......

In the lilac eyes of the major general, a faint chill flickered-

No matter what, send Xiaoqian and Yuri into the city.

They must not be harmed in the slightest...... first tricked them into leaning towards the city, and at the last moment, they were tied up and sent to a safe area......

And next to him, Chu Lie frowned, looking at the azure light curtain that slipped in front of him, and the translucent words scattered down like a waterfall, turning into messages one after another, accompanied by the mechanical tone that the system had returned to normal mode sounded in his ears.

"Di-Arya has sent a temporary mission to save the planet!"

"In order to protect their own interests, the rulers of Fino City are trying to bomb all abandoned areas of the entire planet with neutron and dirty bombs in ten days, hoping to kill millions of scavengers on the entire planet."

"Mission requirements: Stop the launch of neutron and dirty bombs and save the planet's scavengers, and as a reward for the mission, you will immediately receive a blueprint for the creation of combat aids, as well as forty days of life."

"Perfect Mission Fulfillment: Stop the launch of neutron and dirty bombs, save the lives of all scavengers, and wipe out all groups that attempt to launch neutron bombs."

"Rewards for completing the perfect mission: Remaining Life - 50 days, a copy of the Combat Aid Crafting Blueprint, and a generic legend."

"Do you accept the assignment?"

"Yes/No?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Chu Lie's gaze swept over the legendary degree that had been accentuated and bolded, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Accept the task. ”

......................

After about two days of trekking, after the last compressed biscuit was swallowed directly by Yuri, the gathering area of this planet was finally displayed in front of Chu Lie for the first time-

Messy, cramped, dirty and noisy.

A small area enclosed by more than a dozen cars, covered by patched tents, and at the edge of the vehicles, surrounded by barbed iron wires, on which faint electric light flickered from time to time.

This layer of defense converged at the front, and left a small blank space as an entrance, two tall men in bulletproof equipment held guns on both sides, their faces were equally vicissitudes, but there was an extra murderous aura that ordinary scavengers could not reach, obviously elite warriors who often fought.

"This is the gathering area we talked about earlier, and in general, the usual supplies and food can be found here."

Slowly parking his car on the edge, Xiao Qian introduced Chu Lie who came here for the first time: "This is also the easiest place to see people. ”

"Uncle Chu, if you want to separate from us, you can also find other teams here."

Chu Lie was slightly stunned, looked at the girl's serious face, and slowly asked, "You mean...... You don't mind if I leave? ”

"Even if, see my power?"

"I also hope that Uncle you can join us, but the companion is not that we want you to stay, and then you stay, such a simple relationship is too reluctant" Xiao Qian shook her head gently, her immature face did not fluctuate much, but it could make people feel her seriousness.

"Only if we want you to stay, uncle, you also want to stay, can we form companions, otherwise, there is no way to live together just by being grateful."

"It will disperse one day, rather than reluctantly moving forward together after that, and then leaving awkwardly one day, it is better to bring it up generously now and let you choose, uncle."

β€œ........... Did your grandfather teach you? ”

Chu Lie looked at the black-haired girl who nodded slightly, his eyes were slightly in a trance, and he seemed to see the old man who was never in tune again, rubbing his hair wantonly, condensing his life experience and instilling it into himself like a joke.

What a look......... This way of education.......

His eyes returned to calm, and Chu Lie bowed slightly in the girl's quiet but implied expectant gaze:

"So, please advise me on the next path..........

At least........ Before sending you into that city, avoiding the bombardment.
