Chapter 042: Foothold
The nickname of the conqueror is not for nothing, Liu Jie gives the impression of a warmonger. He does not easily show himself in public, and to show up is to start a war. As a young man, he was known as a footballer, but this impression has been eroded with the impression of the 'conqueror'. There are very few people who remember that he once mentioned football, and even if they do, they dare not mention it again for fear of offending him. As for other aspects, he never bothered and rarely asked.
A hero with three gangs, Liu Jie can have today's sphere of influence, and naturally he will not fight alone. He had many talented men under him, who were either impressed by his charisma and willing to assist him, or who were conquered by his might and compelled to obey his orders, or who were at his mercy for the sake of cooperation, etc. These people, Liu Jie rarely interferes with their work, he just makes a request, and if it is completed, there will be no problem, and if it is not completed, the person in charge of this thing will be replaced, without any emotion. Some people talk about his harshness in private, but no one dares to say it publicly, and in all fairness, ordinary people under his rule already have a much easier life than people in other eco-dome cities.
Regarding Liu Jie's past, it is no secret in Mars. There are too many people who are curious about him, and his personal data is also the most detailed in the databases of the major forces. It is known that he was married and had a son, but the news of his divorce was not made public at the time, and no one knew that he had brought his son to the Kirin. Therefore, in the intelligence of all parties, it is believed that his wife and children were also killed in the catastrophe on the earth, just like the family members of most of the people who are now left on Mars. In this way, as Liu Jie's power grows, the position of his pillow person becomes more and more important. The major forces do everything they can to push the woman who belongs to their own power to this position, because everyone understands that once they become Liu Jie's pillow person, the benefits brought are immeasurable. If he can give birth to an heir, it will kill two birds with one stone, and some forces have a long-term vision and have already set their sights on the next generation.
In the first few years, Liu Jie felt that his footing was unstable and rejected all hints of pink. But in recent years, he has also taken in a few pillow people. But in the eyes of the outside world, his acceptance is more of a 'political marriage'. Because of these women, each of them represents a huge force behind them. The relationship between Liu Jie and them, no one can see the distance and proximity. His interest seems to have always been in the war, and he also turned a blind eye to his wives and intrigues. As if it were a kind of indulgence, no one knew what he really thought.
……
The ship is sailing through space, and the ship time has entered the night. Most of the people on the ship, except for those on duty, were already resting. The boulder sits in a chair in the command module with a bottle of whiskey next to it. The armor has been removed, wearing the uniform of the mercenary regiment. The huge body leaned forward slightly, and the cup in his hand could hold half a bottle of wine at a time, and there was a piece of unmelted ice in the middle of the cup, exuding an icy chill.
There was no mercenary who didn't drink heavily, but this time he didn't, just to stay sober. He was still thinking about Liu Jie's intentions, but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that he really didn't have a clue at all. This made him can't help but recall Liu Jie in his memory, they have known each other for many years, and the two have encountered many times, sometimes as opponents, and also as comrades-in-arms in order to complete tasks. But looking back, he suddenly realized that no matter what kind of identity he got along with, he never really understood this person. Jushi couldn't help but sigh, maybe only the people around him really understood what this person was thinking.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and the boulder heard it for the first time, and looked back to see that it was a skeleton. He came from his ship to the boulder. His ship was badly damaged, three of the four engines were broken, and only one was left to push to one side, and had to be dragged around the ship with a boulder.
Seeing that it was a skeleton coming, Boulder beckoned him to come and sit down. He took another cup, poured out the remaining half of the bottle of wine for him, and casually took a few pieces of ice from the ice bucket next to him and threw them in.
This kind of high-level liquor, skeletons really can't drink it. Watching the boulder swallow half a cup in one gulp, the skeleton had no choice but to take a big sip and choke on tears.
In the Mercenary Regiment of Boulder, the status of a skeleton is about the same as that of a military advisor. Although Boulder is not a brave man, he is naturally insensitive to these troubles, and only likes to charge into battle. So most of all the overall arrangements are made by skeletons. Including this war with Liu Jie, it was also the first skeleton to stand up to fight, and he finally decided to fight, who would have thought that the gap would be so big, and even his hometown would be lost.
If it weren't for the boulder's repeated pressure on him, the skeleton would have been drowned by the spitting star by now.
"Boss, I'm sorry for you." As the name suggests, the skeleton man is thin and bone-seeing. He used to be a chemist, and he inhaled toxic gases in an experiment, and finally saved his life, but he lost all his fat, leaving his body with only muscles and muscles, and he also knew that his appearance was terrifying, so in addition to his old brother, he often covered himself with a black robe.
"Talking about these ......" Boulder sighed and said: "We are brothers, it would be redundant to say this, now our team is still there, and these five ships, in the future in the asteroid belt, we can get by, and slowly accumulate strength." ”
"Boss, do you believe that rumor?" The skeleton looked at the boulder and asked seriously.
"Rumors of new humans on the other side of the asteroid belt?" Seeing the skeleton nodding, the boulder thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's really a bit unbelievable, but it's hard to say now, the moon can explode, what else can't happen, let's take it one step at a time, can we be worse?" “
The skeleton nodded, "Indeed, could it be worse...... I just suddenly thought, if there really is a new human being, then who is spreading this news, what is its purpose, Liu Jie let us go, is it intended to let us come into contact with these so-called 'new humans', and what is his purpose......"
A series of questions made the boulder's head wider, and he stretched out his big hand to cover the skeleton's mouth, and said, "You ask me this, I don't know the answers, you can study it yourself, I'd better look at the star map and set a foothold." ”
