Kexi Canyon is called a canyon, but it is actually a canyon caused by unknown reasons. The steep rock walls on both sides are bare, not to mention that there are no plants, and even the rock walls are gray-white.
At the end of the Cauchy Canyon, there is a huge garbage dump. From time to time, you can see garbage transport ships from other planets coming over and dumping garbage into the garbage dump. Piles of garbage are dumped inside, and they have all formed. Countless mountains of garbage.
In the center of the canyon is a large basin, which was probably caused by a meteorite impact. Benjiko's base was built under this crater.
There are numerous white buildings like fortresses. Before you even get close, you can see countless garbage sorting machines above the base, repeatedly going back and forth between the base and the garbage dump.
These garbage sorting machines are like small aircraft, but they are "open-top" in shape and look like a bucket truck. They also have long robotic arms on both sides of the fuselage.
They continue to go out from the base every day, and then when they arrive at the garbage dump at the end of the canyon, they start sorting. After filling up a bucketful of trucks, they fly slowly back to the treatment plant at the base, and dump the things they brought back into the treatment plant. In the open space outside the factory, other work robots will come to perform more detailed sorting, and these garbage sorting machines will slowly return to the garbage dump and start sorting and transporting them back again.
These garbage sorting machines don't have much intelligence. They will only work according to the sorting program set for them. Therefore, even if Long Jiu sneaks over and accidentally crashes a garbage sorting machine, those mentally retarded gadgets It only made sparks when it fell to the ground, and it didn't know how to send a fault signal to the base.
As the highest-level intelligent system today, Long Shiyi looks down upon such mentally retarded things, and even reluctantly refuses to admit that these mentally retarded things are the same kind as himself.
Not only does it refuse to admit it, it also suppresses it.
Long Shiyi: "You are already so mentally retarded, and you don't know how to upgrade your own system. It doesn't require them to be upgraded to a high level of intelligence. At least they should be able to send a fault report to others after a fault occurs." Unlike me, I am different. If my fuselage breaks down, I don’t need to send a repair signal because I can repair it myself. 』
After it finished trampling, it asked Long Jiu: "Master, do you think what I said is right?" Am I awesome? 』
Seeing that the base was right in front of her, Long Jiu replied very perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Although Long Jiu answered perfunctorily, Long Shiyi didn't care. Anyway, he felt that his master was praising him, so he happily continued: "When are we going to start robbing... No, what are we?" Time to start ransacking homes? 』
Long Jiu didn't move and just said: "Scan this base first and mark out its important places for me."
Long Shiyi did what he said, with red light flashing in his eyes. If you look closely, you can see a string of data passing quickly. It is not only scanning the entire base, it is not even sparing the underground of the base.
When Long Shiyi finished scanning, a holographic light screen popped up, with a detailed base analysis map on it.
Long Shiyi was very considerate and circled the things he found with red circles.
"It's incredible, it's really incredible. There is actually a weapons depot in this base. 』
Long Shiyi took a small screenshot of the location of the weapons depot and said to Long Jiu: "Didn't you say that the owner of this base is an interstellar black businessman?" But his arsenal can equip a company in the army. With such a weapon, is he still smuggling arms? 』
Smuggling arms?
Long Jiu frowned and asked, "Have you found a military factory that manufactures weapons?"
Long Shiyi said with a little strangeness in his milky voice: "No, if there was a military factory in the base, I would have marked it out for you." 』
Long Jiu sneered when he heard this: "How can you smuggle arms without an arms factory? Could it be that they also purchase goods from other arms dealers and then resell them through second hands?"
Don’t talk about whether you can make a lot of money by reselling this kind of second-hand business. People buy troops.
People who are angry are not fools. They don’t know how to buy directly from arms dealers. If they insist on spending more money, why should they buy this second-hand reseller?
Therefore, the weapons in the warehouse in Benjiko were definitely not used for smuggling.
Since it is not used for smuggling, it must be used by yourself. An interstellar black businessman actually needs to use so many weapons. What does he want to do? Rebellion?
But for a rebellion, one warehouse of weapons is not enough.
Long Jiu was a little confused, but it didn't stop her from sneaking into the base.
She didn't know what was going on in other people's bases, but Benjiko's base seemed too quiet. From the time she came in, except for the machines flying around, she hadn't seen a single living person.
Long Jiu felt that something was not right. She asked, "Long Shiyi, did you find any signs of life here when you scanned it just now?"
After Long Shiyi was asked this question by her, he seemed to react belatedly. He let out a sound and said in surprise: "Yeah, I just scanned the entire base, but I didn't find a single living thing. This base seems to be It's empty, no one! 』
nobody?
Long Jiu looked stern, and she immediately drove the mecha to the ground from mid-air, and then ordered: "Long Shiyi, release the invisibility state."
She thought that she had already come in anyway, and even if she was discovered, the energy protective shield would not be able to keep her out, and at worst, she would be beaten.
But when her huge and pink mecha suddenly appeared in the base, there was still no response from the entire base.
No invasion sirens sounded, and no one broke out from the fortresses.
Apart from these functioning machines, there is not a single living person in the entire base.
While Long Jiu was driving the mecha to check around, he contacted the battleship over there: "Captain Ji, it's a little strange here on Junk Planet. There seems to be no one in the entire base. Could it be that Benjiko's subordinates are... Did you run away when you heard the news?"
The battleship was also shocked after receiving the news about Long Jiu. Ji Tianming directly made a video call with Long Jiu, and then said: "Even if those people received the news about Benjieko's arrest, they couldn't bring nothing with them. Just run away? It’s such a big base, and it’s worth a lot of money to break it up and take it away.”
Long Jiu also felt that Ji Tianming was right, but at this time she had already arrived outside the weapons depot, and then used violence to tear down the hatch of the weapons depot. Looking at the neatly placed weapons inside, Long Jiu had no expression on her face. Authentic: "Well, they didn't even take away any weapons from the warehouse. I don't think it's possible either."
Although he thought it was impossible, Long Jiu was still sure that there was not a single living person in this huge base.
Long Jiu said again: "Captain Ji, you all come over here, I'll go take a look around the base."
Long Jiu directly asked Ji Tianming to drive the battleship into the garbage planet, while she searched all the buildings in the base until she was sure that she could not find a single living person, then she drove the mecha towards the canyon. The huge garbage dump at the end flew past.
Facing countless mountains of garbage in the garbage dump, several huge compressors hovered in the air. They made loud rumbling noises and sorted out the garbage that had been sorted by garbage sorting machines and determined to be of no recycling value. The garbage mountain was compressed into large garbage cakes one by one using a huge gravity hammer. Then, two equally huge mechanical arms were used to pick up the compressed garbage cakes and throw them to the distance. An incinerator as high as a hill.
The smell here is not very good. There is a burning smell in the air all year round, and there is also black ash from the burning of garbage, so the entire area of the garbage dump seems to be shrouded in this gray color.
Although Long Jiu was in the mecha, she wouldn't inhale the black ash all over her nose with just one breath. The mecha could also isolate the burnt smell from the air outside, but Long Jiu's nose was too sharp. Even with the isolation of the mecha, she could It seems that I can still smell some smell.
So after Long Jiu couldn't help but cover his nose several times, Long Shiyi said with a sigh: "Do you need an isolation mask?" 』
Long Jiu looked around and asked, "Is there any?"
She didn't remember that she had a mask in her mecha.
As a result, Long Shiyi said hey: "No." 』
Long Jiu: "......"
Oh, your second uncle!
If not, why are you asking?
Long Shiyi saw Long Jiu's anger, but it kept jumping on the edge of death: "I just think you should need an isolation mask. By the way, I would like to remind the owner to prepare some masks and put them in the cabin as a backup next time." just in case. 』
Long Jiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I think you should be sent back to the factory to be remade."
After being warned to return to the factory, Long Shiyi immediately turned off his microphone and pretended that he was not there.
Seeing that it turned off its microphone and didn't dare to beep anymore, Long Jiu snorted proudly, then calmed down and continued to look around.
until........
The system tone of Didi suddenly rang.
Long Shiyi, who had just been quiet for a while, shouted: "There is someone, there is someone alive!" ! ! 』
Before Long Shiyi could tell the coordinates, Long Jiu also saw it.
I saw a man wrapped in a colorless blanket among several piles of garbage, hiding in a panic.
Long Jiu immediately chased after him with his mecha, but the mecha was too big. Where a person could get in, the mecha couldn't get through. Unless it lifted the entire garbage mountain, but if Long Jiu really lifted it, that person would He will probably be buried underneath.
After finding that the man was as difficult to catch as a mouse, Long Jiu simply handed over the control of the mecha to Long Shiyi, while she got out of the mecha and went to catch him personally.
Long Shiyi followed behind, flying in the air, but Long Jiu dodged and got into the garbage mountain.
There is everything in this garbage mountain, including abandoned household appliances, game cabins, and flying cars. It is not only messy, but also very annoying.
If that person hadn't screamed in terror while running, Long Jiu might not have been able to keep up with him.
Seeing that the man was about to dive in again, Long Jiu flew forward and grabbed the man from the air while he was screaming, and then pulled him over.
Who knows what happened to that man, but he let out a more miserable scream in mid-air, and shouted something, "Don't kill me, I don't know anything, I didn't see anything."
Long Jiu: "......"
If he didn't want to ask something out of this man's mouth, Long Jiu really wanted to slap this frightened man and send him flying back into the garbage mountain, making it impossible for anyone to dig out.
Long Jiu looked at the puddle of water stained by his footsteps with disdain, then moved a small step to the side, and then stepped on the man who was huddled on the ground, screaming and trembling, like a local bully, and shouted evilly He yelled, "What's your name! Just be quiet."
The man was still shouting with his eyes closed. Long Jiu lost his patience and put some strength on his feet. The screaming man suddenly screamed in pain.
Long Jiu was like a villain, staring at him and threatening: "If you dare to scream again, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue?"
The man immediately became quiet and did not even dare to scream.
Seeing that his threat had an effect, Long Jiu was satisfied. He stared at the man for a long time and asked: "Now I ask, you answer honestly, if you say a word nonsense, I will throw you into the stove over there." .”
The man looked at the huge incinerator in the distance in horror, then nodded tremblingly.
Long Jiu: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man trembled and said, "I'm from the base."
Benjiko's base?
Long Jiu's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "What happened to your base? Why is there no one in the base now?"
The man shivered, and there was huge fear on his face. He trembled and said: "There is no one left, they are all dead, they are all dead..."
"How did he die? Who did it? Where are the people who died?" Long Jiu asked in a deep voice.
This man looked like he was insane. He kept saying "dead, all dead".
After reciting it several times, he realized what Long Jiu had asked. He laughed nervously and said while laughing: "They are all dead. It's those monsters. After they learned that the boss was captured, they tore up In the agreement with us, he also killed everyone in our base and dumped all the bodies there..."
The man pointed to the mountain-high incinerator in the distance with trembling fingers, laughing and crying at the same time: "I was lucky enough to come here to check out the malfunctioning machine, so I survived. I watched those monsters kill everyone in the base with my own eyes. Came here. Some people were torn apart by them, and some people were thrown into the incinerator alive by them. There were screams everywhere, but those monsters couldn't help but were laughing, shouting, and reveling, haha Ha ha ha ha......"
Long Jiu's face was ugly. Although she didn't sympathize with the people in Benjiko. After all, these people were not good people, but the miserable situation of these people before their death made Long Jiu not like it.
Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head, but the monsters in this man's mouth are taking pleasure in killing.
Long Jiu asked in a deep voice: "What are those monsters you are talking about?"
The man who was still smiling nervously suddenly became frightened again. He shrank himself into a quail, and his bloodshot eyes looked around nervously, as if a monster would pop out at any time.
The man looked around nervously and lowered his voice: "They are monsters. Boss, they all call those monsters monsters. I once heard them mention that those monsters came out of black holes. No one knows how they came out." People who come out of a black hole don’t know what’s inside the black hole. I don’t know anything. I don’t know anything. Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. "
The man went crazy again, even crazier than before. No matter how Long Jiu pressed him, he didn't answer, he just went crazy.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of the man's mouth, Long Jiu stopped pressing him. She knocked the man unconscious and then picked him up with two fingers with a look of disgust on his face.
Although I couldn't get anything more out of this man's mouth, what he said before was enough.
Everyone in the Benjiko base was dead except for this man, but the murderers who killed almost everyone in the base were a group of monsters who came out of the black hole.
As for which black hole it was, Long Jiu knew it without asking. It must be the black hole behind the asteroid belt behind the garbage star.
As for what those monsters are, Long Jiu is not sure yet.
When Long Jiu took the man back to the base, the large army also arrived.
The huge warship hovered above the base, and Zhou Qi led the soldiers to ransack the homes in the base.
Seeing Long Jiu's frighteningly pink mecha flying back, Zhou Qi quickly waved his hand.
The mecha landed and Long Jiu came out of the cabin.
Then the man who was held on Long Shiyi's fingers was thrown to the ground.
Zhou Qi looked at the man on the ground with confusion and asked Long Jiu: "Sir, who is this man?"
Long Jiu frowned and said, "The survivors in the base."
"Survivor!" Zhou Qi was shocked.
Long Jiu: "Everyone else in the base is dead, only one like this is left, and he is still crazy. You have to keep an eye on the people, I have to pass the news here to your commander. What happened here is quite right. .”
Long Jiu didn't have time to explain to Zhou Qi. After leaving her person to Zhou Qi and explaining a few more words, Long Jiu returned to the mecha again, and then drove the mecha back to the battleship.
