Chapter 1: Dust Star
Scarlet blood slowly flowed down his swarthy arm.
Black hair with a slight dryness, a green headband, long eyelashes, large eyes, constricted pupils, but no longer focused.
"Promise me to get out of here." With that, she fainted.
"Sister, sister," cried a thin boy. Sister, the boy cried out heartbreakingly, and there was no response around him, only the continuous rain answering him.
The boy tore off his already tattered shirt and bandaged the girl's arm skillfully and tremblingly.
There are no doctors, no nurses, and no hospitals.
There are no schools, no government, not even the police.
The planet is completely closed off and has no contact with the outside world. The air is also very thin, and 80 percent of the ground is inhospitable, no different from the uneven surface of the moon.
This planet is called the Dust Star, also known as the Dust Prison, and it houses tens of thousands of prisoners.
The prisoners ranged in age from gray-haired old men to babies, from men of good blood to feminine and beautiful women.
But there is only one thing in common.
They are all people who have a very low overall evaluation by the "Interstellar Biology Center", and are officially called "Star Disciples". It's not that the "star disciples" don't want to participate in the war, but that their bodies can't meet the basic physiological conditions of genetic modification.
In the hundred-year-long interstellar war, human beings are deeply aware of the limitations of their bodies, and in order to defend their homeland and resist the invasion of interstellar aliens, the "Interstellar Biological Center" has carried out all-round genetic modification of human beings, officially known as the "Star Protector". The "Star Protector" not only has outstanding appearance and super combat effectiveness, but also has a strong ability to adapt and plays an important role in the war. And the "Star Disciples" are pure natural human beings who have been reproduced normally by humans, and because of this, the indicators of their bodies are significantly lower than those of genetically modified organisms, and they are also despised by the "Star Protectors".
The "Star Disciples" can only survive on the dust planet.
But here, you are free.
Without the supervision of police officers, the prisoners are completely free.
This means that the prisoner can leave whenever he wants.
In the 50 years since the Star Protector appeared, many people have offered to end prison life, but I heard that no one has actually left it.
Because beyond the dust star, there is a vast interstellar. As soon as they leave this land, they will fall into the endless space, where they will be turned into powder due to lack of oxygen and high pressure, and will be wiped out from there.
Luo Chuan picked up this rusty "blood wood box" and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
My sister always said that this is an ordinary box, but it hides a huge mystery of leaving the dust star.
The outer shell of the "blood matchbox" is made of ordinary metal, and inside the box is a compass-like thing, which is said to be the heirloom of the Luo family.
Thinking of this, Luo Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and what kind of heirloom did he say, if it was an heirloom, how could he not help his sister and himself leave this planet until now.
Since that day, the sister and brother have done countless experiments with this box, but each time either the younger brother hangs the lottery, or the sister is injured, and it has been three years, and they have not left the airspace of the dust star an inch. Coupled with the Dust Star Rain Season for a month, the plan to escape from the Dust Star has been postponed again and again. What's even more infuriating is that the "blood woodbox" has rusted because it is often soaked in rainwater, and it has also begun to twist and deform.
Luo Chuan is already fourteen years old, but he is thin and weak because of malnutrition in the Dust Star. According to the interstellar law, he should have gone to middle school a long time ago, but in this dust star, there is no school.
There are teachers in the prison who are advanced in their thinking and believe that the children of Dust Star also need a normal education. So they formed a team of teachers and volunteered to teach students of different ages. Professors and teachers come from different galaxies of the interstellar galaxy, the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and they tell students about the world beyond the dust planet. Outside of the dust star, as long as there are human beings, the planet is full of happiness and joy.
A happy family, a good environment, and a sound education system.
However, the tall buildings and princess-like rooms are the visions that her sister Roland often talks about.
Roland, who is sixteen years old this year, was originally a flower-like age, but because he has been on the dust planet since he was a child, he has always been dark and thin.
Just now, my sister was injured just to escape from the dust star.
And the "blood box" of the square that was washed away by the rain and had rusted was the source of the constant injuries that the sister and brother had been suffering for three years.
Luo Chuan and Luo Lan are two of the students, and they both have good academic performance.
The teacher often praised the sister and brother, with a kind personality and hard work, but they always sighed softly, but it was a pity, such a good seedling could only die of old age on the dust planet--- Luo Chuan thought of this, and couldn't help but say to his sister who was still asleep, "Sister, we must leave here, we will live a normal life in the future, buy a big house for my sister, have an independent princess room, and endless snacks", at this moment, his eyes lit up, "You will also meet the prince charming in your heart." ”
The white bandage on Roland's arm was already oozing blood.
My sister's face became more and more pale, and she kept sweating.
Roland slowly opened his eyes and looked at the space near Dust Star, which could already be regarded as a museum showing the history of blood and tears of Dust Star's exploration of how to escape from this planet.
There are about 4,000 human debris and broken clothes in orbit around the dust star, more than 6,000 large fragments being monitored, and more than 200,000 pieces larger than a centimeter that are not monitored.
How difficult it is to escape!
"Sister, you're finally awake," Luo Chuan said with a smile, his smiling face covered with dust peculiar to Dust Star.
What a fourteen-year-old boy has become of being destroyed in Dust!
"Look, what did I bring you" Luo Chuan stretched out his hands and held out a red flower, "I picked it up in the garbage dump, the teacher seems to have said that this is called a rose." ”
Roland's face was still pale, and she was very happy that she had finally seen the rose that only lived in her imagination.
But this rose has long since withered. Look at this planet, where is there a living creature? Loneliness, isolation, helplessness, terror, ignorance, all kinds of emotions come out of this planet.
Roland secretly vows to let his brother leave this planet full of darkness and death.
I've been trying for three years, but I still can't get out of here with the ancestral "blood matchbox", is it because the prophecy of the legend is wrong, or the level of the two siblings, in short, something must be wrong.
Is that really going to work?
Roland endured the pain all over his body and picked up the "blood matchbox", twisted metal, iron-red appearance, and only the size of a blood matchbox.
"Xiaochuan, your blood" Luo Chuan understood that his sister wanted him to bleed, so he raised his right hand and bit it hard in his mouth, and blood flowed out.
Roland lifted his arm and tore open the bandage of his shirt, blood pouring down.
Luo Chuan's blood, Luo Lan's blood, flowed into the "blood woodbox" almost at the same time.
In an instant, the rusty "blood matchbox" emitted a dazzling light.
They tried for three years, but never tried to open the box with blood.
And Roland knows that only the sacrifice of blood can open the box and truly escape from the dust star.
The light from the box illuminated the garbage dump of Dust Star, where Luo Chuan and Roland were.
The prisoners of the Dust Star saw the dazzling light and cheered, "Saved, saved" The crowd began to pour into the place where there was light, and the land of the planet was mixed with rain, and the prisoners were trampled into mud.
Luo Chuan pulled his sister with all his strength.
They are on an interstellar jump. This rusty "blood matchbox" is the key to this.
It was not until today that Roland deeply understood that the source of the energy of this box was not solar energy, not the cold light of the moon, but human blood.
"Xiaochuan, I'll count to three, and you'll let go" The wound on Roland's body quickly cracked because of the rapid jump, and the blood sprayed, and he was about to boil.
She couldn't hold on, and if this leap was destined to sacrifice one, it had to be her.
If this leap is also destined to survive, it must be her younger brother, Luo Chuan.
"I won't let it go," Luo Chuan's voice was surprisingly loud, he seemed to have guessed what his sister wanted to do, "We're going to go together" The flow of people from the dust star quickly rushed towards the light emitted by the "blood matchbox".
Roland glanced at the bustling crowd, the "blood matchbox" couldn't bear the weight of so many people, and if he didn't complete the jump, it would be too late.
"You have to live well." Roland said sadly but firmly, and then, she tried her best to break Luo Chuan's hands, and used all her strength to roll sideways out of the light range of the "blood matchbox".
"Sister---" Luo Chuan's tears gushed out, and in an instant, the "Roland ---" emitted a dazzling red light like a fire, and then disappeared.
