"You abandoned us without even coercion or inducement?" Yun Lai looked up and watched the transport ship slowly lift into the sky, feeling extremely happy. They have been looking for opportunities to escape these days. Feng Long was kicked in the head by a donkey, and he actually reported that Feng Lizhi might have modified genes and might become a bug. After careful consideration, the military threw the three of them to this elementary modified planet for temporary isolation.
The military throws people onto this planet where there is only sunlight, air, soil and water. It is definitely not a good intention for people to find their own way. Although the natural conditions of this planet are very poor, it is located in the middle of several star gates and has convenient transportation, which is conducive for all parties to take the bait. First, there was no benefit from not communicating in advance. Neither Zhang Tianzhao nor Bai Zhi had the consciousness to cooperate as bait, and Yun Lai did not. They took off the brain and threw it away. Not to mention how fast Daqinggong ran.
One of the petty officers in the row at the rear of the bridge shouted: "They threw away the brain, the suspension recorder can't find them, activate the locator!"
"I was looking...I found them...the locator is still on the ship." Another petty officer turned on a monitor. On the table facing the monitor, about twenty locators are neatly arranged in a triangle. There is also a gilded lace note pressed with a small vase next to it, thoughtfully indicating the number of locators as twenty-seven. The note's handwriting is simple and clear, with a full aristocratic accent.
Is it that difficult to find the locator and flush it down the toilet? This style of play is taunting, and there is no way to compile the reports of the soldiers. The sergeant angrily turned off the monitor.
After confirming that all kinds of surveillance had been thrown away, Zhang Tianzhao entered the gang's territory and obtained the modified brain and a small spacecraft that Haifengqiu had obtained for them. The small spacecraft flew close to the surface to the other side of the planet, trying to keep a three-point line with the returning transport ship and the planet. Using the planet as a barrier, it flew into the vast space like an arrow from a string.
"When they react, the guy who proposed putting us on this asteroid will be in bad luck." Yun Lai was extremely happy.
"Don't be too happy now. Concentrate on getting familiar with the fake identity information that Hai Fengqiu got for us. You need to register to pass through the Star Gate. The characteristics of two men and one woman are too obvious. We can't pass through the Star Gate like this." Zhang Tianzhao told Bai Zhi: "My wife, please accept Go to the Star Network to find information and analyze where in this star field you can board a spaceship or hide in the crowd."
Bai Zhi connected to the star network and quickly found it, "At three o'clock, there is a planet 70 million kilometers away. Human beings live on several of its satellites. The airport is on the first satellite. The interstellar passenger ship will arrive two days later." It will pass there. If we take the outer tangent line and go to other satellites first to collect money and take people to the first satellite, we will have enough time to board the interstellar passenger ship."
"It's too dangerous to bring people. Let's go directly to the airport and check the fare of the interstellar liner."
"First class... Bah, the cheapest one is a ten-person room without meals. My cash... I can buy three tickets as far away as Aldera in the Rigel galaxy." Bai Zhi hesitated for a while, "The Rigel galaxy is located in The Star Territory has been in economic recession for over a hundred years, and that place is the most chaotic in the entire empire. It is said that even Star Thieves' ships can dock openly."
"That's it. No matter Ze or anyone else, I never imagined that you and I would live in a ten-person room, or that we would go there." Zhang Tianzhao said with a smile: "Let's hide first, and then we can meet Haifengqiu and Yue Let’s discuss the next step in Dongting.”
The three of them successfully sneaked into the messy airport, bought tickets and boarded the passenger ship. Ten days later, when they walked out of the airport of Suwei, they were carrying dirty bed rolls, their hair was sticky and oily, and their whole bodies smelled of pickles. They looked like thousands of people who had poured into Suwei. There is no difference between the two poor refugees, and the security inspectors are too lazy to look at them.
The official management agency of Cecelis is very perfunctory in treating refugees. The only free three-story empty trains that go directly to the slums are provided to the poor. Bai Zhi and the others walked dozens of kilometers in the slum area until late at night before they found a place to live on the most dilapidated and poorest edge of the slum area. A shabby apartment opened its door to penniless refugees. The landlord, who was not much wealthier than the refugees, was willing to take supplements as rent and rent them a shabby small apartment.
The lights in the small suite were dimmer than the walls that were at least two hundred years old. There were a few cracks in the middle of the monitor hanging on the wall. Yun Lai touched it for a long time before he took out the gray screen with his hand. The cool-dressed female anchor has a distinctive Rigellian makeup and is as enchanting as a snake spirit. She stands in front of the screen wall and reads from the script. Her tone of voice is soft and drowsy as she reports old news.
Bai Zhi closed her eyes and sensed that the thunder particles in the turbid air were thinner than elsewhere, but she could still easily control the motion and collision of these particles to find easily conductive substances in the room. Soon the light on the top of the small room and the screen flashed at the same time. Bai Zhi also got the answer she wanted. She wrote in the note: There was a monitor in the room that was destroyed. There were more than 600 monitors within a few hundred meters nearby, and they were all broken.
Yun Lai found the monitor under Bai Zhi's guidance. There was a dusty little doll tied up in the curtains. It was unknown whether the landlord or the previous resident used violent means to destroy the monitor's transmitting device, but the energy box inside was half full. The receiving device and monitoring device had withstood the test of time and violence, and Zhang Tianzhao returned to work after a few fiddles.
Zhang Tianzhao burned out the energy cord, removed the storage device, and praised, "The company that manufactures surveillance equipment is really the conscience of the industry. The empire should really give this company a medal." He joked while hanging the doll back on the curtains and chatting with local residents. Maintain a tacit understanding - stay the same where others can see you.
Hai Fengqiu saw Bai Zhi's note and reminded: No surveillance means poor security. Be careful of break-ins and robberies.
After a while, Hai Fengqiu said again: We "destroyed" several warships with the help of the anti-war organization. The anti-war organization plans to cause trouble tomorrow, and we just took this opportunity to collect our things and leave. What's the current progress of the Feng family?
It took more than half an hour for Yue Dongting to answer: The news the Feng family received was that the military was still observing whether the survivors were contaminated by insect genes, and they had not yet obtained a list of survivors. Ze and Run's relationship is tense.
Zhang Tianzhao said: The military has failed us and will always find a scapegoat. Who do you think the best scapegoat is?
Four people unanimously wrote about Feng Long. Haifengqiu also added: Ze can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to take over. The new head of the family should release good news about the mass production of ten cubic space clip bags.
Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai wandered around in garbage dumps and mountains and forests in search of food like others. When they found something, they stayed at home in a daze. Refugees who were hit and didn't know where to go had this kind of behavior. They were in the eyes of their neighbors and landlords. Ordinary ones are like the old posters hanging on the corridor wall. They are obviously there, but no one takes a second look at them.
In the evening of that day, Yun Lai came back with a small bag of nutritional supplements and a large bag with a gift from a charity organization. He said: "I queued for two hours to get these, and there are also a few study vouchers to go to the vocational training center. The landlord He stood at the door to collect study vouchers. Each study voucher covers one day's rent, so I paid the rent to him."
The landlord's five children all cannot afford to go to school. This kind of learning opportunity is very precious for people living in slums. Bai Zhi smiled encouragingly at Yun Lai, stood up and gave Yun Lai the only couch in the room to lie on, and teleported into her space to watch. Is the broth ready?
Apartment kitchens are shared, and fuel is usually combustible materials picked up from garbage dumps or withered branches picked up in the mountains and forests. Every time no matter who cooks something to eat, the smell of smoke and food can be smelled throughout the apartment building. So Bai Zhi always cooked in the space and brought them out for them to eat in the gang territory. Although their living conditions are a bit poor, they eat very well. There is a gang warehouse transfer, and even Hai Fengqiu and Qi Haoyu can eat hot meals with soup and fruits.
Zhang Tianzhao smelled the smell of the new blanket, and opened the bag in disgust, took out the brand-new but inferior blanket, shook it, held his nose and hung it on the drying rod outside the window sill.
After a while, several children whispered outside the window.
"New. New blanket."
"Get it off! Cover my sister when it's cold."
"If you catch it, you'll be beaten. If I run fast, I'll steal it."
Zhang Tianzhao waited for the thieves to run away with the blanket for his sister, then he stuck his head out the window and shouted: "Asshole, give the blanket back."
"This damn place is so poor." Yun Lai stretched out on the sofa, "When I was queuing up to get a blanket, I heard someone say that there was some company in another neighborhood that was recruiting people to go to an elementary modified planet I don't know where. Farming, the physical examination site was crowded with people."
"I feel that the level of civilization in this place is not as good as when we were children." Zhang Tianzhao once again tried to connect to the star network through the smart brain on his wrist, but failed again. "The network signal has not been restored yet."
Bai Zhi took out the space bag with dinner and gave it to Zhang Tianzhao and said: "The Rigel galaxy was originally the royal palace. A hundred years ago, the natural resources were exhausted. The compassionate Emperor gave the Rigel galaxy freedom. Freedom means economic independence and self-confidence. Profit and loss. The Rigel galaxy now has nothing but population, and it will only become poorer day by day. Two hundred years ago, the airport on Cecelis was the sixth largest airport in the empire. Now, only a dozen interstellar ships dock every day. In a few decades, , maybe even the starships won’t leave here. I guess this galaxy will become the empire’s trash can in the future.”
"Let's go in and eat." Zhang Tianzhao put away the bag. Although he knew that Bai Zhi's force was not worth the fear of someone breaking in, he still checked the doors and windows, blocked the door with a cabinet, and then teleported into the gang territory for dinner.
Yunlai felt that Betelgeuse without surveillance was quite suitable for their life, and suggested that the base be placed on Betelgeuse.
"We not only need to survive, but also develop. We can stay in Rigel temporarily, but we can't use it as a base. The place I want to go to is the chaotic star belt in the southernmost part of the empire's territory. Many resource stars have been discovered in that place in recent decades. The next For decades or even hundreds of years, the royal family and nobles were too busy fighting wars to pay attention to it. Now there are many star thief gangs there, and similar people can disperse and mix into each gang. Qi Haoyu can simply build a star thief group. Those of us who have been exposed Just mess around with Qi Haoyu. How about my plan? "
"Sounds good. You package all the information you can get to Bai Zhi. It would be better if you can get a few sets of smart brain hosts." Zhang Tianzhao is also interested in becoming a star thief. "Hao, if you have a smart brain host, Xing alone can do the work of the entire team.”
"I'll try my best." Hai Fengqiu scooped up a large bowl of hot soup and drank it. After finishing the meal, he went out carrying the love bento that Bai Zhi gave to Qi Haoyu.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Yunlai handed over a chip to Bai Zhi and said, "Hai Fengqiu and Qi Haoyu have left the base and are running away. They will just cook for us these days."
Bai Zhi nodded and inserted the chip into her brain. Haifeng Qiu sorted out various information according to her habit. Bai Zhi opened the first information package and found that Hai Fengqiu also attached a list of supplies for a certain fleet base that he had obtained. The long list contained all the materials necessary to build two small bases. Some equipment was afraid that she wouldn't understand its use, and there were thoughtful explanations in parentheses.
This man really regarded the empire as his home and wanted the empire to serve him wholeheartedly. Bai Zhi couldn't laugh or cry until the end. The last line of the list reads: I heard that the peach blossoms are in bloom in Yangzhou City. I haven’t seen them for a few months. I wonder if Mi Ning and Mi An have grown taller.
Mian Ning and Mian An must have grown taller, but that one never had the chance to grow up. Bai Zhi looked out the window with guilt. The landlord's little daughter was cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard. The chilly wind blew through the treetops. The thinly dressed girl stamped her feet and rubbed her hands to keep warm. The angle where Bai Zhi stood was just enough to see the little girl's clear and round eyes.
The little girl also saw Bai Zhi, raised her head and waved to Bai Zhi, and asked: "It's cold, do you want firewood?"
"Yes, I also need a container that can light a fire." Bai Zhi forced a smile.
"Yes, yes." The little girl put down the broom and ran towards the concierge.
Bai Zhi lowered her head to check her backpack and pulled out a small coat she made in Yangzhou. The little girl brought over an armful of dry firewood and an iron can that could be used as a stove. Bai Zhi handed her the small coat, "I originally wanted to wear it for myself, but I don't have the experience to make it smaller. Do you want it?"
"I want new clothes!" The little girl's round eyes were filled with happiness.
Bai Zhi helped her put on her coat, her movements stiff. The little girl hugged Bai Zhi enthusiastically and said, "Thank you, you are a good person. Can I collect firewood for you for ten days? No, no, ten days is not enough, twenty days!"
"If you collect firewood for me for twenty days, I will make you a pair of shoes out of old blankets." Bai Zhi showed her the old blanket with a hole in it, "But you have to give me a pair of old soles that fit your feet. .”
"Okay, okay." The little girl flew out like a butterfly, and soon she and her sister came up holding a few pairs of shoe soles and a few old blankets.
"If you can make a few pairs of shoes for us, how about each pair of shoes counts as one day's rent? If you can teach me... My mother said, you can pay ten days' rent." The fourteen-year-old girl glanced a little shyly. She glanced at Lin Yunlai and felt embarrassed to say this in front of the handsome guy.
"Okay." Bai Zhi turned around and took out a broken box from the bedroom, opened it and showed the two girls her tools and materials. She spent half a day instructing the two girls to make a pair of shoes for themselves.
After the two little girls left happily, Lin Yunlai joked with Bai Zhi, "Just for ten days' rent, you taught me how to make a living? You should open a shop in partnership with the landlady."
Used shoes are very cheap in thrift stores in slums. You can exchange two low-quality nutrient supplements for a pair. Generally, no one makes their own shoes to wear. The main reason for the landlord’s family is that they have many children and they grow up quickly. Children from poor families run around outside every day, and their clothes and shoes get worn out quickly, and the younger ones can't pick up the older ones to wear, so they think of making their own shoes.
Bai Zhi couldn't honestly say that she was moved to seclusion because she saw the shadow of her eldest daughter in the little girl. She shook her head and smiled and said, "If I want to open a store, I will send you to dig through the garbage dump every day to pick up materials. What are you doing?"
"Fuck it." Yun Lai winked at Bai Zhi happily, "I'm going to dig through the garbage dump tomorrow, and if I find the materials, you can make me a pair of shoes, okay?"
"I'll give you two tubes of nutritional supplements. Go to the thrift store and buy a pair yourself." Zhang Tianzhao kicked Yunlai away mercilessly, "I found a suitable place for digging a hole in the mountains. I heard that there will be freezing rain in a few days. It’s not suitable for outdoor activities. Yunlai, you go out for a day or two and bring back some more nutrients. I’ll dig a hole while you guard the house.”
Shou Jia means Shou Baizhi. Yun Lai happily agreed. When he came back from wandering for two days, he not only changed into warm clothes for winter, but also brought back two suitcases. He also got brown paint spilled on the suitcase that looked like blood. The effect of this fakery was actually quite good. Zhang Tianzhao thought that the sweater he bought for Bai Zhi hurt people, so he left it outside the window to dry in the sun for several days before it was stolen.
The weather on Aldera is getting colder and colder, and freezing rain one after another cannot stop refugees from outer galaxies from pouring into the Rigel system like headless flies. Haifengqiu and Qi Haoyu mixed in with the crowd and came to Suwei'er, and quietly teleported into the earth hole dug by Zhang Tianzhao.
The star network of Albera has been unable to be connected, and the internal network is sometimes good or bad. Legend has it that the local news station went bankrupt, and the station director took the female anchor to join his cousin who was a star thief.
Yunlai couldn't pay the rent and was unwilling to use clothes to pay the rent. The three of them moved out of the apartment on a cold rainy night. To the people in the slums, these three people were no different from other refugees. They were like weeds in the slums. They were wilting while alive and there was no need to care about them even after they died.
Zhang Tianzhao and the four of them were working non-stop in the dark cave to modify the warship, while Bai Zhi was equally busy. Grow food, process food, use the oversized containers brought by Haifengqiu to modify food and fruits, use 60 cubic meters of space to bag the processed food and fruits, and organize the materials packaged by Haifengqiu. Hai Fengqiu emptied out several warehouse areas in the military base, and he didn't even know what he had robbed. Bai Zhi spent more than ten days sorting it out, and finally found three sets of smart brain hosts from the container!
"Put it on the spaceship! My Silent Hill must have a smart brain host." Qi Haoyu was extremely excited. With the host, he could connect to the star network and take exams without any problems. He didn't do any questions during this period, and his whole body was filled with sadness. It all hurts.
Yue Dongting conveyed Hao Xing's excitement: Hao Xing said he wanted one set for simulation experiments, and a complete set for his own use.
"Installation, first renovate the spaceship they use to escape, and then slowly decorate our spaceship. We will install two sets of smart brain hosts on our spaceship, one for Hao Xing to use for work, and one for us to play games." Yunlai said directly It is shameful and unmotivated to treat a smart computer console as a game console.
The modified escape spaceship is similar to the Feng family spacecraft from the appearance to the internal structure, but cleverly uses optical illusions to add a mezzanine layer, which can hide the family members of the same type and Qi Haoyu's men. Hai Fengqiu put the spaceship and dozens of space folder bags of food on the first page of the gang warehouse, and then modified Qi Haoyu's "Silent Hill" and their new home, the Acorn.
Because the five of them brought their own gang warehouse and backpacks with gold fingers, Zhang Tianzhao came up with the idea of cabin building blocks. He dismantled the spacecraft into several functional areas, and each functional area had its own independent life support system and energy supply. Hao Xing's laboratory is made into cabin components. The smart brain host system he wants is installed in a separate cabin. When it is needed, it is taken out of the backpack and assembled in the main laboratory. When passing through the star gate for inspection, the cabin is disassembled. Come down and change into a normal cargo hold.
Haifengqiu has a metal ability. Many metal processing and welding tasks are very easy for him. It is not difficult to realize Zhang Tianzhao's design ideas. Qi Haoyu couldn't play with the Block Spaceship without a golden finger, and he was extremely depressed. During his break, he spent time in Silent Hill debugging the smart computer console.
"They are actually playing like this to cope with official inspections. You and your little brother are traveling in the star thief world, there is no need to hide your head and tail like this." Bai Zhi comforted the eldest child, "When you become the star thief king, you can directly play Battle Fortress , this kind of small spaceship is not interesting. You have never seen that space base in Ze, it is super big and so handsome."
"I've seen the information about that base. It's super cool. The Feng family is so rich, so they just built one. I heard that it drove it around the earth and used the energy that the Feng family earned in ten years, right? ?" Qi Haoyu asked.
"The information I read at Office 11 did not mention the Feng family. But I have read information about other space bases. Some noble families have two or three strategic bases like this. If there is really a war, the nobles will move the core members. On the space base, you can hide in any corner and hide for decades." Bai Zhi sighed, "Actually, Ze is considered a good person among the nobles. The living standards of the people in his fief are not low. It’s not like we have anything to do with Ka, it’s nice to live on Ceres.”
"In terms of blood relationship, is Ka our grandfather or father?" Qi Haoyu's mind suddenly opened up.
"It shouldn't count. His blood is blue, and our blood is red." Bai Zhi saw Qi Haoyu's expression became very strange, and she was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Isn't your blood red?"
"It won't be the case after we complete the genes." Qi Haoyu wanted to show his fingers to Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi held his hands and said: "There used to be humans with blue blood on the earth. They were very few in number. They were just mutated. It's nothing." of."
"I know, I will be careful not to let others know. Mian Ning and Mian An... may also change. Fifth sister, please pay attention and observe." Qi Haoyu is now close to two meters tall. He lowers his head and rubs Bai Zhi's shoulder, like a child Looking for mother's warmth like that.
Bai Zhi straightened Qi Haoyu's messed up hair, "I'll pay attention. There's something I don't know whether to mention to the third brother. Now I think it's very likely that our grandfather smuggled to the earth."
"Brother Qi also said something similar to Xiaoshan. He said he didn't want to recognize relatives, not even Xiaoshan." Qi Haoyu laughed, "Is Fifth Sister afraid of meeting grandpa's family?"
"The third brother said that grandpa didn't leave any words when he passed away. If grandpa really crossed over secretly, there would be a time lag before the star gate opened. He didn't know how many years he lived before he died of old age. His parents here might only be in their fifties or sixties. At the age of 30, he can barely be considered a young man in the empire. It would be too difficult for others to recognize him as a grandson." Bai Zhi tilted her head and thought again, "My public identity is Feng Lizhi. Although this identity is fake, But the benefits are real. Ze will insist to the death that I am his sister. Even if my third brother wants to admit relatives or anything like that, he won’t do it.”
Bai Zhi's guess was absolutely correct. The military finally put the responsibility on Feng Long. The person Ze died carrying Bai Zhi was his sister. Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and lives must be repaid with life. He fought with Run with real swords and guns, demanding a thorough investigation of Feng Long's motives and the instigator behind it. Feng Long is Run's biological sister. The prospective family leader cannot protect his biological sister. He has no ability to be the family leader. If he protects his biological sister who framed his own people, he has no hope of becoming the family leader. Run fell into her sister's big pit and couldn't get up. Ze got his wish and became the head of the family. As expected, he brought out the good news about the mass production of ten cubic space clip bags to win the hearts of the Feng family.
Gu Tianbai felt that the time was almost up, so he asked Hao Xing to bypass the blockade and upload some news on the star network. Soon, various parties obtained the astonishing fact that the Feng family could mass-produce ten cubic space bags. Several families related to the Feng family even obtained physical objects. The Academy of Sciences believed that the Feng family had infringed on their patents and went to the Emperor of Nanshou to complain. Ze sent Run to the Emperor to counter-file a complaint. There was a lot of excitement between the two parties.
The base where Hai Fengqiu and Qi Haoyu worked was reduced to tiny atoms in the self-explosion of particle bombs from extreme anti-war organizations. Among the lists publicly announced by the military were Hai Fengqiu and Qi Haoyu.
Gu Tianbai asked to inform Bai Zhi herself that Bai Zhi had lost her husband and brother. Ze knew that the news of Bai Zhi's disappearance could no longer be kept secret, so he personally visited Gu's house.
"As soon as I got the news, I sent Lan to look for her... I'm sorry, we searched the entire galaxy and couldn't find your sister or your brother-in-law for two months." Ze's posture was very low and calm. Even if his biological sister was missing, he would not be able to use all the efforts of the Feng family to find her for two months. He did try his best.
Gu Tianbai's smile froze. After several minutes, he returned to his normal expression and asked calmly: "Where did they disappear?"
"There was some misunderstanding, and the military temporarily isolated them on an asteroid in the Xianqin galaxy..."
"Please give me the coordinates. They have strong survivability. They must be hiding. They dare not show up if they can't see them." Gu Tianbai's attitude was very calm, and he had no intention of questioning Ze, nor did he ask what the misunderstanding was.
"Insects were discovered in the Xianqin Galaxy the day before yesterday, and the empire issued martial law. There are too many people staring at the Feng family. I can't risk the world and go to the Xianqin Galaxy." Ze refused firmly, not wanting to cooperate. His partner has done his best to do this, and he can't do more.
"I understand your difficulties, and thank you very much for doing so much for my roommate." Gu Tianbai left the distinguished head of the Feng family in the living room, walked into the study alone, and closed the heavy door silently.
A few days after Ze left, Gu Tianbai made an honest travel plan and left a letter to Xin, saying that they firmly believed that Bai Zhi would not die and asked Xin to take care of their parents and relatives. They were going to the Xianqin Galaxy to find Bai Zhi.
Gu Tianbai took away his two younger brothers and Bai Zhi's three husbands and two children, plus Qi Haoyu's little girlfriend Xiao Fei. This configuration was more like relatives going to worship Bai Zhi. Xin checked the list and found that the elders of Gu Yuehai's family My relatives were all in Yangzhou, so I was relieved to let him go. Now is the critical moment when the Feng family is being closely watched by all parties. Gu Tianbai left openly and openly, and there was no reason to refuse, not to mention the strict monitoring, so Ze also let them go with confidence.
Gu Tianbai didn't intend to forcefully confront the Feng family. The main purpose of their departure was to send away the same kind and zombies who could not see the light. The turbulent war period is the best opportunity for everyone to break into pieces and lurk. He went to find someone openly. It was easy to lose contact with the Feng family, but it was very difficult to get back in touch with him. After being separated for more than ten years, he could find someone or not find someone, and there would be no problem at all in going back. Ze fought hard for Bai Zhi to become the head of the family, so there was no way he would deny his sister's widowed husband.
More than ten years were enough for Gu Tianbai and others like him to do a lot of things.
