The only decent building in the city is the military camp in the city, with a wall stretching up a courtyard of fifteen square kilometers, a small cultivation center, several steel-framed barracks, and a large wasteland outside, stationed less than 1,200 warriors and warriors, plus a few old-fashioned frigates.

Jiang Xia walked around the barracks, and he understood why Chaodong and they were in a hurry to leave, although Andromeda is generally not as prosperous as the galaxy, but the conditions here are too cold, and the living conditions of the warriors stationed here are actually not much better than those of exiled criminals.

"Alright, pack up, you can leave at any time." Jiang Xia looked at the data disks handed over by Chao Dong, waved his hand and said.

You don't have to think about it to know that it is impossible for the Sin People Galaxy to have any valuable data, and the so-called handover is simply a formality, so Jiang Xia didn't look at the account book, and directly agreed to let the soldiers go back.

Chao Dong waved his arm excitedly and said, "Chief Chief, you are refreshing enough!" Originally, according to the rules, we were obliged to help the new chieftain stabilize the situation before leaving, which could be a few months or a few years. ”

"Since you spoke, you didn't say it!" Chao Dong patted his chest and said, "All the materials of our legion are left!" After all, you're new here, so you're probably using these things. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xia nodded slightly.

Chao Dong laughed and left, Jiang Xia heard him in the courtyard beckoning the garrison to assemble, announcing that it was time to leave this barren land, and the warriors were hoarse and exhausted.

Jiang Xia nodded lightly at Langya beside him, "Go and call those leaders in." ”

"Yes."

After Langya went out, Jiang Xia looked at the empty surroundings and found that he was really lonely enough, and he was also a chieftain, and there was only one Langya who could be used by his side.

In a short time, more than a dozen hobbling old men entered Jiang Xia's temporary office, they lined up, carefully bowing their heads, perhaps because of long-term discrimination, the backbone of these leaders had already bent.

"I've heard that you're generally around twenty years old?" Jiang Xia frowned and asked.

"Back to the chieftain." One of the leaders was a little healthy, his face looking old, his hair gray, but at least he didn't falter, and his waist was straighter than the others.

"You may not know it, short life is the punishment of the beast god, in the Sin Citizen Galaxy, it is already rare to live to be in their thirties, as for us, the average may be twenty-five or sixteen years old."

As an atheist, Jiang Xia didn't believe such as the punishment of the beast god, the people of the Sin People Galaxy had a short life, there must be something else.

"What's your name?"

"Chief Hui, my name is Perry, and I am currently the big leader of the Sin Folk System."

"Well, tell me more about your daily life, I want to know all the details."

......

"Go out and let me be alone." More than three hours later, Jiang Xia waved his hand to the leaders and said.

Langya also withdrew from Jiang Xia's office, he closed the door and stood guard outside.

Jiang Xia closed his eyes, and his mind came to the virtual world attached to the spirit brain, only to see that Lingxiao had already laid out the topographic map of the Sin Citizen Galaxy, and looked at the map cross-legged to think.

Jiang Xia sat down beside Ling Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I feel that there is a problem with the food, after all, if it is the environment, the Night Run Clan warriors stationed here should also show signs of rapid aging. ”

"But we can clearly see that the soldiers are healthy, and only the locals are aging fast."

"According to Perry's description, the garrison looked down on the criminals and felt that they were dirty, so they only ate the food they brought, and perhaps it was this difference that caused the division between the garrison and the locals."

"It's ridiculous that those sinners really think that the beast god is punishing them."

Lingxiao nodded, "I also think the problem should be in the eating habits of the criminals, I want to know the answer is very simple, now that it's dark, let's find a random family of criminals to see what they are eating." ”

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Xia nodded.

......

Jiang Xia came to the courtyard, at this time the military camp has become silent, in a short time, Chao Dong took the garrison away, they were not willing to stay for even a minute, fifteen square kilometers of the military camp, only Jiang Xia, Nolan Weiwei, and Langya's family of four.

"Where's Nolan Vivi?" Jiang Xia asked Langya.

"She said she wasn't feeling well, she was resting, and my wife was taking care of her." Langya replied.

Jiang Xia nodded, "Tell your wife, don't eat any local food for the time being, and don't even touch the water." ”

"Yes." Langya hurriedly nodded in agreement, inevitably having some doubts in his heart, but in front of Jiang Xia, he still hid these questions in his heart.

Langya explained to his wife with a walkie-talkie, and then followed Jiang Xia out of the barracks.

"Where are we going now?" Langya asked.

"Just go there." Jiang Xia casually pointed to a dilapidated house not far from the barracks, there seemed to be a lot of family, and there were seven or eight children playing outside.

As soon as Jiang Xia and Langya arrived at the door of this house, they happened to bump into a woman coming out of the house and beckoning the children to come home for dinner.

This woman does not look like the mother of the children at all, with gray hair, bent over, a wrinkled face, and depending on her age, she is more like the grandmother of the children.

Seeing Jiang Xia, the woman was stunned, and hurriedly saluted, calling the chief in her mouth.

As for the seven or eight children, they were looking at Jiang Xia with hostile eyes, they were small, but they had exaggerated muscle lines on their bodies, and they were dirty, like a group of mud monkeys.

"This look is exactly the same as when I was a child." Langya looked at the group of children and said: "I am bullied every day, so I am full of hatred for everything in life, but I am luckier than them, because I have superpowers since I was a child, so I was left in Yeben City and was not thrown here." ”

Jiang Xia nodded, "Yes, otherwise you would be one of them." ”

Jiang Xia and Langya walked into the house, and after inquiring, they learned that the father of these children had died, and only the mother was left to support herself.

In the Sin Planetary System, there are many examples of people who do not live to be twenty years old, and the natives usually marry and have children at the age of twelve, and their bodies begin to age rapidly, starting at the age of sixteen.

Elsewhere, sixteen is the age of flowers, youth, but in the Sin Citizen Galaxy, sixteen is a sign of old age, and cruelty has been there since the first people were exiled here.

"Leave us alone, you can continue to eat dinner." Jiang Xia said to the children's mother.

The elderly woman was obviously embarrassed, but she didn't dare to resist Jiang Xia, so she beckoned her eldest son to bring out a huge metal basin from the kitchen, the basin was half a meter in diameter, and the food in it was a vegetable ball, black and I don't know what kind of vegetables it was, wrapped in flour and steamed in a steamer, and sprinkled with some salt.

The children did not use utensils, but picked up a handful of vegetable dumplings from the basin with their hands, squeezed them vigorously, and then put them in their mouths and chewed them heavily.

Jiang Xia asked Langya to take a little vegetable dumpling for himself, but he didn't eat it, and put it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.

"Starchy food plus crude fiber plant rhizomes, a small amount of mineral salts, black sesame seeds, should be some kind of plant seeds, for flavoring, there is nothing we are looking for here." Lingxiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness.

Seven or eight unusually strong children killed the pot of vegetable dumplings in a short time, and then the mother and the eldest son brought out a full pot of the same food, and a small jar of green, olive-like things.

When the children saw the green olives, their eyes lit up, and it seemed that for them, the olives soaked in vegetable oil were quite a rare delicacy.

The old woman offered the jar of green olives in both hands and whispered, "Please try this, green scorpion, it's delicious." ”

Jiang Xia was stunned, opened the jar and sniffed it in front of his nose, the smell was very spicy.

Pinch out of the jar and take a closer look, it turns out that this thing is not an olive, but the seed of an unknown plant, after pinching it, there will be a golden liquid flowing out, perhaps because it has been stored for a long time, the taste is quite choking.

When those children saw Jiang Xia crushing the precious food at will, they were all unhappy, and they pouted at Jiang Xia and widened their eyes.

"This should be it." Lingxiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness.

Jiang Xia nodded and asked the woman, "You often eat this?" ”

The woman shook her head and said: "The production of scorpions is very low, each person can only get one grain per day, this thing smells bad, but it still tastes good, the Sin Citizen Galaxy is very poor, there is nothing good to eat except for this." ”

The woman seemed to want Jiang Xia to give it a try, but Jiang Xia would not eat this unknown thing.

He wiped his finger lightly on the space ring, took out some food that he had brought with him, nothing more than the military energy bars of the Yeben clan, sugar cubes, dried meat, etc., about a dozen catties, and put them on the table.

"I'll trade these for your can of green scorpions." Jiang Xia said.

If the children saw the green scorpion's eyes burst out just now, at this moment they even had red eyes, since they were young, where have they ever seen such exquisite food? Whenever the garrison was eating, the children would lie in the corner and smell the smell, drooling incessantly.

Whenever the garrison threw away the uneaten food, it was the happiest time for these children, and the children with great strength could always grab some leftovers.

Langya frowned slightly, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Fierce, aggressive, cunning, the eyes of these children remind me of the wild wolves in the forest, once they are in packs, they are very difficult to deal with. ”

......

Jiang Xia went to Langya's wife for a turn, and found that the mood of the big tiger and the little tiger was very low, after all, they came to this barren place of exile, the big tiger and the little tiger had a big gap in their hearts, and Jiang Xia's territory was not as good as the countryside where they lived in the past.

Nolan Weiwei said that she had already fallen asleep, Jiang Xia knew that she had something on her mind, so she didn't bother him, and after eating a little, she returned to the dilapidated garrison office building.

In order to hide his identity, Jiang Xia threw away almost everything related to the earth, including the alchemy notes and equipment given to Jiang Xia by the Lu brothers.

"There's no way, it looks like I'll have to taste this thing myself." Jiang Xia opened the jar and said.

Lingxiao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's just like this, eat a little, it shouldn't be fatal, I will carefully observe your body's reaction." ”

So Jiang Xia fished out a green scorpion from the jar, put it on a plate, cut it with a short knife, and put a third of it in his mouth.

In an instant, a strong spicy smell rushed straight to the brain, a bit like the taste of ginger, but soon this spicy taste disappeared, and the golden liquid contained in the green scorpion was like the juice flowing out of a large piece of meat, greasy, with a slight sweetness, and the taste was really good.

"There's a response!" Ling Xiao said in a deep voice in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "Your metabolism has begun to accelerate, and the degree of cell activity has accelerated by at least ten times. ”

"The body temperature rises, and the skin on the surface becomes red."

"Muscle fibers accelerate tearing and regrowth!"

"The heart rate returns to normal, and you start to adjust to this high-speed metabolism."

Jiang Xia closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his body after taking the green scorpion, and at the same time, Lingxiao was also nervously observing.

The results were surprising to both Jiang Xia and Lingxiao, the side effects brought by the green scorpion to Jiang Xia were like a powerful stimulant, his entire body became active, and the release of growth hormone and cell metabolism were all increased by more than ten times!

......

After a full ten hours, the sky was already dark, and the side effects of a third of the green scorpions gradually subsided.

There was no pain this night, Jiang Xia felt that he was extremely energetic, as if he had taken some kind of medicine that specifically increased the speed of his body, but with Jiang Xia's experience, even the medicine refined by the Lu family brothers did not have such a powerful effect.

"There is no doubt that Green Scorpion is a powerful cell-accelerating drug." Lingxiao asserted: "Long-term consumption of green scorpions will cause cells to continue to divide and eliminate, which is equivalent to being reborn over and over again. ”

"Because of the accelerated growth, the children here reach the peak of their lives at the age of twelve, and then there is a gradual decline."

Jiang Xia thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as cell acceleration, according to my observations, those four or five-year-old children already have the physical fitness of the martial artist level, and the eleven or twelve-year-old children who are at the peak of their physical fitness are probably already at the level of a martial general." ”

"But the strange thing is that when the level reaches the military general level, the body will form an energy core, as a necessary mechanism to regulate and reserve energy, although the children here are very strong, none of them have an energy core."

Lingxiao said: "You observed very carefully, but you forgot that I just said a word, reborn." ”

"The energy core is a sign of the maturity of a martial artist, as for whether it is a certain martial general-level convergence of energy cores, this is not necessarily, you yourself are not a martial artist intermediate level to obtain the energy core, and some people have to be later."

"The acceleration of the cells caused by the children of the Sin Galaxy's taking the green scorpion will keep the cells in their bodies constantly renewed, and the energy core needs a stable body structure and energy reserves, and they have been accelerating, just like a sprinter, running and running, until the end of their lives."

"Therefore, they do not have a stabilization period at all, and even if they do, such a short stabilization period is not enough to form an energy core."

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, "It's like a hovering car traveling at high speed, although it is fast, but it misses all the scenery along the way?" ”

"Not bad." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "The locals are indeed able to reach the physical fitness of a military general at the age of twelve, but what they have is only physical fitness, and the demonic green scorpion will drive them to keep speeding up until they die. ”

"It's like making a pact with the devil, paying the price of life for a short period of glory."

"Understood." Jiang Xia stood up and said in a loud voice: "Langya! ”

Swish~

A dark shadow immediately appeared outside Jiang Xia's office, it was Langya, this loyal guy quietly kept watch outside all night.

"Get Perry, right now! I'm going to see where the green scorpion comes from. Jiang Xia ordered in a deep voice.
