Chapter Eighty-Seven: War Refugees

Could it be that the inhabitants of Shennong Star are very xenophobic?

Yang Yi felt a little strange, although there was a xenophobic atmosphere in some colonial planets, but in his understanding, only those colonial planets with harsh environments were like this. Although the environment of Shennong Star is not superior, it is not bad, at least the people here will not worry about survival. Even if the inhabitants of Shennong Star do not welcome strange outsiders, they should not be hostile and reject all outsiders without reason.

When he came to the camp of the resistance, Yang Yi understood why these people were so xenophobic.

The camp was in the heart of the desert, almost one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the military camp that Yang Yi and his men had attacked, and they did not arrive until noon on the day. The camp is not very large, and there are many caves that can only accommodate a few people to hide from the scorching sun, but there are many people in the camp, not only young men with weapons with them, but also many old people and children. Like Paul and others, these personnel are also hostile to Yang Yi and others.

As he walked through the camp, Yang Yi noticed that the conditions here were extremely harsh.

There was a cave where there were several wounded people, the bandages that wrapped the wounds were stained with blood, the wounds were not treated effectively, and one wounded was still suffering from a fever. Because of the lack of medicines to treat wounds and infections, the women in charge of care had to use wet towels to cool the wounded.

In addition to the lack of medicines, there is also a severe shortage of food and fresh water.

There were many children in the camp, tanned and skinny, who looked like they hadn't had a full meal in a long time. Several old men huddled in the cave were even more motionless, as if they were so hungry that they had no extra strength. The women who take care of the children and the elderly also look haggard.

Led by Paul, Yang Yi and the others came to a cave.

"Rest here for a while. Don't go out and walk around, I'll come when I go. ”

The cave is not very large, only about ten square meters, and there are more than ten people who go into it at once, which seems a little crowded.

"Dude, have you noticed?"

Jackson nodded and said, "This is a refugee camp, and it looks like these people have escaped from towns or farms. ”

"We have ......"

"No hurry, Paul is just a resistance, at most a squad leader. Wait a minute, meet the person in charge here, and then decide whether to help them or not. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, although he felt that Jackson was a little cold, but he didn't object.

Trust is mutual, and there's nothing wrong with being cautious. Yang Yi had already noticed that after Paul left, the two resistors who followed him stayed outside the cave. It seemed that those two were protecting Yang Yi and the others and preventing others from approaching the cave, but they were actually guarding against Yang Yi and them.

More than ten minutes later, Paul returned, bringing with him three women.

"My name is Maria, and I'm in charge here."

When the woman who followed Paul introduced herself, the other two women brought the tea to Yang Yi and the others.

"You must be thirsty after a day's journey. The conditions in the camp are difficult, please forgive me. ”

The tea is a bit bitter, but it's not bad.

"You ......"

"No, this is our leader." Jackson was very interested and took the initiative to retreat behind Yang Yi.

Maria looked at Yang Yi and looked a little surprised, she definitely didn't expect that this young man who looked less than twenty years old turned out to be the team leader.

Yang Yi was also looking at Maria.

She's not pretty, at least for now. Maybe she was beautiful before, but the hard life left traces on her face that could not be concealed. Judging from her appearance, it can only be seen that she is middle-aged, maybe a mother, maybe a grandmother. However, it can be seen that her status is very high. Before this catastrophe came, she must have been a big man with status, status, and respect.

"This ......"

"My surname is Yang, Yang Yi, just call me Xiao Yang."

Maria nodded slightly, her expression relieved. "Please be seated."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then sat cross-legged on the ground. Maria didn't pretentiously either, and sat down opposite Yang Yi generously.

"Paul said that it was your men who found them, and that you attacked the base of the occupying army."

Yang Yi nodded and didn't explain much.

"For that, I am very grateful, and thank you on behalf of all the people here, as well as the soldiers who died." Maria's expression was slightly agitated. "Unbeknownst to you, this is our fifth camp, the previous four having been destroyed by the occupying forces stationed at the forward base. We lost a lot of casualties, and in the battle five days ago, we lost twelve valiant soldiers, and several others were seriously wounded. We have long wanted to destroy the advance base of the occupying army, but we are not capable of doing so. But you did it, destroying not only the forward base, but also hundreds of enemies. I want to thank you again for avenging the martyrdom of the warriors. ”

"Lady Maria......"

Mary pressed her hand and said, "You can stay here for three days, and we will provide food and water." After three days, we will leave here. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Maria meant.

"It is undeniable that you have destroyed the advance base of the occupying forces and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the occupying forces, but you have also caused trouble. The occupying forces will not rest on their laurels, and may have sent a large force to find the camp sooner or later. We can stay for a maximum of three days, and although we hate the occupation forces, I have to think about everyone here, including the elderly and children. Paul, they are warriors, and I will give them the choice to decide whether or not to follow you and fight the murderous occupying forces. But most of the people here, including me, are not fighters. We just want to live so that our next generation can grow up safely. ”

When Maria said this, Yang Yi understood.

"I'm sorry, I hope you understand."

Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "I can understand, I don't want to cause trouble to you, let's leave tomorrow." ”

"No, though ......"

"In addition, we brought some food, as well as medicine to treat the wounds." Yang Yi took out a few genetic drugs from the space storage and put them in front of Maria. "These are military drugs that work very well, and after taking them, the wound heals completely within a few hours. I beg your pardon for not knowing that attacking the occupying army's forward base would cause you so much trouble. ”

Yang Yi's words were polite and thoughtful, but it made Maria a little embarrassed.

Of course, Maria knew the value of those few genetic drugs. This genetic drug developed by the military has a very miraculous effect, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is still a breath, taking one can save your life. If it is a normal trauma, it will heal in a few hours. Because it is a military substance, it cannot be bought with money. On the black market on a colonized planet, one of these genetic drugs can be exchanged for a farm.

At this time, Lin Feng also took out the materials looted in the base from the space storage, mainly food.

Seeing Lin Feng take out all kinds of military rations bag by bag, and quickly stacked a large pile, Maria was even more surprised. The one that can hold so many materials must be a high-level space storage, and those who have a high-level space storage are definitely very good. You know, in the Human Federation, space storage is rarer than Primal Energy Converters. For example, Jackson has an S-Class Origin Converter, but no space storage.

"These are all we took from the occupying forces, and if not enough, I still have them here."

"No, that's enough, that's enough." Mary came to her senses and said, "This food is so valuable, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"No thanks, it's a gift for the children."

"But ......"

"What we need, Ms. Maria, is mutual trust." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "The occupation army is our common enemy, although we are not residents of Shennongxing, and it is my first time here, but please believe me, like you, I also want to destroy all the occupation forces." ”

Maria nodded slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"There's a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Mr. Yang......"

"Just call me Xiao Yang, I'm only eighteen years old."

"I know, I misjudged you before. But please believe me, I have changed my mind, and you are trustworthy friends, true friends. ”

Yang Yi nodded, and then said: "Dodging is not a way, if you want to regain your homeland, you have to fight the enemy." ”

"But ......"

"Of course, it's mostly the elderly, children and women, and only a few people, such as Paul, are fighters. It's just that there are many ways to fight the enemy, and evasion is not among them. We are here to drive out the occupying forces and maintain the stability and prosperity of Shennong. Yang Yi paused slightly, and then said, "We are all soldiers of the Third War Zone, belonging to the Special Investigation Brigade, and this time we came to Shennongxing to quell the rebellion on the orders of the Chief of Staff of the War Zone. ”

"Rebellion?"

"The intelligence went wrong, and we only found out that this was not the case after we came to Shennong."

Maria looked at Yang Yi carefully, and seemed to be convinced that Yang Yi was a professional soldier.

Without waiting for Yang Yi to explain, Lin Feng showed his hand and condensed a ball of Origin Energy on his palm, indicating that he was a soldier with an Origin Converter.

Anyone who has heard of the special investigation brigade knows that the officers and men of the special investigation brigade are all soldiers.

After Yang Yi and others identified themselves, everything became simple. After Yang Yi briefly explained the task of coming to Shennongxing, Maria proposed to discuss with Paul and others before making a decision, and then got up to leave. Yang Yi didn't urge, but just asked Maria to send someone to bring the food away.

Yang Yi is not in a hurry, he has already expressed his sincerity and provided help to these refugees as much as he can, and now he only needs some patience. Yang Yi believes that after recognizing the situation, Maria will make the right decision. No one of blood will tolerate the occupation of their homeland by the enemy.

The most important thing that the aborigines of the colonized planet lack is blood.
