Hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.
Even Lin Zhiyang's eyes widened, he probably didn't expect it.
I originally thought that my experience was tragic enough, and I might even be in danger of my life at any time.
But compared with the relatives and friends of these crew members, I actually seem much luckier.
At least until his goddess remembers him, nothing will happen to him.
Moreover, he can be regarded as an official second lieutenant of the empire, a person with an official position.
Those who secretly want to do something, no matter how powerful they are, have to think carefully. After all, even the privileged class of the empire do not dare to challenge the authority of the empire rashly.
Murdering an Imperial Legion is a grave crime, even for a minor lieutenant.
In comparison, these ordinary crew members, as well as their relatives and family members, are truly no different from ants.
Even if a bunch of people randomly die on the road, no one will hold them accountable.
Not to mention anything else, even he, if he wanted to, could even slaughter all the people in this boat, and he would only need to make a written explanation afterwards without any responsibility.
For the empire, these ordinary civilians are like the cheapest consumables, which can be replaced at any time, and are so cold that there is no trace of human kindness at all.
From the beginning, all Li Yi saw from these crew members was numbness and indifference. There was no trace of life on their faces. There was no trace of longing for the future on their faces, let alone hope for life.
This was discovered from the very beginning when Li Yi was mingling with them when Lin Zhiyang was still unconscious.
It was only now that Li Yicai saw something different in the eyes of these ordinary people.
That kind of thing.
It's called hope.
"Sir, although we are of no use except for taking care of the spaceship, we can be said to have had some interaction with you just now."
At this point, he seemed to feel that what he said next was very transcendent. The middle-aged man in his early thirties felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment.
"Can the two adults take us with them when they are doing these things?"
Lin Zhiyang was stunned when he heard this.
"Take you with me?"
"Yes." Yu Fang replied cautiously, looked up and observed the expressions of Li Yi and Li Yi, and found that there was no displeasure at all, so he continued with peace of mind.
"This is what we think. If the two adults' plan succeeds, we may also have the opportunity to visit our relatives in the Red River Planetary Belt. Although this chance is very slim, we still want to try."
At this point, he suddenly became emotional and his nose twitched. This usually cheerful man actually shed tears unconsciously.
"I'm afraid that if I don't go see them, I won't see them again. I heard that the so-called reserves are always in reserve. Although they don't have to go to the battlefield, the death rate is no lower than the real battlefield."
"What's more important is that no one knows how they died, and there is no pension. They have names and surnames. The most they can do is notify their families. As for the corpses, they are usually disposed of directly. How to dispose of them and where they are buried. , everything was covered up with just one sentence.”
"Military secrets, no comment!"
After saying this, Yu Fang, an ordinary crew member, seemed to be hollowed out. His body swayed a few times, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was helped by the surrounding crew members. , and didn’t really fall.
Yu Fang's words actually represent the common aspirations of these ordinary people. This can be seen from the expressions of those people who said nothing but looked at the two of them with hope.
Lin Zhiyang's face was filled with indignation, and he felt the sadness from his heart. He was about to say something to express his feelings at this moment.
Suddenly, Li Yi beside him suddenly spoke, and what he said was something he didn't expect at all.
"Well, it's really a pity, but no, you are just ordinary people. Our plan this time is very dangerous, and I'm afraid we can't take you with us."
"you!"
Before Fang and others could say anything, Lin Zhiyang was the first to react.
He was seen glaring at Li Yi angrily, as if he had some deep hatred.
"They just want to see their relatives, so what's wrong? Ignore him, I have the final say on this matter, and I agree!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this and worshiped him one after another.
"Thank you very much, Captain Lin, for your great kindness, which I will never forget."
"..."
"Get up quickly, this is nothing, just get up."
Li Yi stood aside and watched with cold eyes as Lin Zhiyang hurriedly helped the crew members up one after another, and then looked at them with a cold expression.
He shook his head and said nothing, but turned and left.
After leaving, Li Yi went directly back to the previous cabin and sat down cross-legged.
In this strange place, even if he met new people, he would not put all his chips on one person.
The only thing you can believe in is your own strength.
His original idea was to continue looking for the other six divine powers after obtaining the power of arrogance.
Anyway, Flot has no use for it. If he wants to cut off his relationship with Gaia, then he'd better not even take back Gaia's divine power.
This point had already been made clear when he talked to Flot:
I don't want the remaining divine power Flot, but I can accompany Li Yi to search for it. After all, he is the former owner, so he can still be of some help.
Then they practiced actual combat while carefully avoiding the ambush from the main god Gaia.
Unexpectedly, this was only the second time, and I didn’t know where I was.
As for why he had to go to the imperial capital, the reason was very simple.
He had heard Flot say that once.
In this universe, all the larger forces and civilizations have dealt with the company.
Hongling Empire must have purchased popular products like virtual reality machines.
Then the highest probability is that this kind of machine can be found in the Imperial Capital.
As for where it is specifically, we can only find a way to find it after we go there.
Originally, the best way was for Lin Zhiyang to send him to the imperial territory, so that he would always have a way to get to the imperial capital.
What he didn't expect was that the other party seemed to have some different ideas and chose a way to join in that he hadn't thought of beforehand.
He tolerated this.
After all, the first step still depends on this kid.
So he disapproved of helping these ordinary crew members "by the way".
Even though it was his own cause and effect from the beginning.
It would be nice if I started not to mix with these people.
Li Yi sighed secretly, closed his eyes in concentration, and prepared to improve his strength first, but there was a knock on the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
With a sigh, Lin Zhiyang opened the door and walked in.
Li Yi glanced at his partner.
"What? Are you appeased? Seriously, you don't really want to take these people for your own use, do you?"
"Otherwise? I don't have anyone available to me, and you don't look like someone willing to be subordinate to others."
Rarely, Lin Zhiyang also made a joke.
"Haha, it's up to you, but I won't get involved in this matter. You can do whatever you want."
"You don't want to help them?"
Li Yi looked into Lin Zhiyang's eyes and spoke word by word.
"Actually, you know what I mean. What I mean is that it is best not to let them get involved, but since you have decided to do this... I will take it as you have your own plan, but no matter what, I think this It won’t do any good, but will harm a large number of people.”
Lin Zhiyang heard what he said, thought for a while, and finally took the initiative to ask for advice humbly.
"What do you think? You might as well give me a thorough explanation."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to inquire and looked sincere, Li Yi had just finished reading the deduction of the Book of Yi, and had a rough judgment on the future development of things. Adding some of his own conjectures, he really had a feeling Unpleasant feeling.
"The biggest problem is they're just regular people."
"Have you never thought about the reason why your Hongling Empire has been able to rule for so long, and the privileged class has been so solidified, but no one has dared to stand up to resist? Isn't there some hidden reason for this?"
He originally wanted to use this kind of guiding question to help Lin Zhiyang expand his thinking. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyang immediately explained without hesitation.
"Of course Wo knows that the so-called privileged class are individuals whose personal force is powerful enough to rival the existence of the state. It is easy to suppress civilians."
Li Yi was shocked instantly.
This completely coincides with his inference!
