Gu Hanhan was sweating coldly after watching a scene that lasted less than an hour. He pressed his hand on the controller and tried to turn off the monitoring several times.
Life in Acropolis and Lighthouse Star seemed like a glimpse. The most civilian place Gu Hanhan had been to was the university town. She knew that the aristocratic mansions in the Acropolis and their manors across the Lighthouse planet maintained large numbers of slaves. Almost all countries in the universe, whether monarchs or republics, approved and encouraged slave-keeping. The trading market in the Exile Galaxy was filled with people every day. The number of slaves exceeds billions, and there are even 500 slaves in her family now. She knew that life as a slave would never be good - but that was all.
Whether at home, in the Acropolis, or elsewhere, the slaves she came into contact with were all high-level slaves, including valets, high-level maids, and housekeepers. These were the people who surrounded her all day long, regardless of David. Anthony or any other high-level super-powerful aristocrat she had ever seen, even Su Yu, whom she considered to be the most slave-owner-like, never laid a finger on these slaves, and almost never even said bad words to them - —At least not in front of Gu Hanhan.
The tradition of segregation between the noble and the lowly among the aristocracy of the Acropolis and even the upper class of the entire Beacon Planet allowed Gu Hanhan to see with his own eyes only the most glamorous and dreamlike side of the high-ranking slaves, while the shadow of the other side of the slaves was always shrouded in huge darkness. Unknown——
The scene before her was like the last piece of fig leaf being pulled off the skirt of a noble lady, and the sin and ugliness were exposed to the sun. The glitz faded, the thick fog of shadow dissipated, and the most miserable side of slaves as a class, which was worse than death, was directly presented in front of Gu Hanhan, hitting Gu Hanhan's heart in one fell swoop, leaving her speechless for a long time.
"Let's go, Hanhan."
David threw a backpack into the escape cabin, then turned around and took Gu Hanhan's hand. Gu Hanhan was pulled into the escape capsule by David, but it was not until the escape capsule popped out of the spacecraft that she was freed from the inexplicable sadness.
"What's going on?" She looked around in surprise, "Where are we going? We're not taking a boat."
David was trying to operate the escape cabin according to the instructions, which were spread out on the console beside him. He studied and pressed buttons on the console. Hearing that he didn't bother to look back, he just replied to Gu Hanhan: "Go to the Gray Star, which is in the northwest of the Diana Star Territory. The Gordon family's ship has now taken us to the Diana Star Territory. We must walk here by ourselves. We can no longer take advantage of the situation. The training camp of the Gordon family is in the southwest, and the location is very different."
Gu Hanhan opened his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly several light spots popped up on the monitor, showing that there was a death light coming from behind. Suddenly it turned into a scream: "Energy cannon! There is an energy cannon behind you!"
"I know!" David pursed his lips and pressed his fingers on the control button.
The escape cabin could barely avoid the death ray, but soon more shelling came. The mobile turret on the side of the Gordon family slave ship floated up and fired several shots. The death ray formed a three-dimensional cross and blocked their escape boat. Cover in the center. The energy distribution on the monitoring screen showed an extremely terrifying sight.
"The slave traders of the Gordon family are beating us, David!" Gu Hanhan shouted, "They will definitely not let it go when they find out that we stole their ship."
"This is impossible. This escape capsule is shielded by my energy field. It is completely invisible on the detector. They can't see it at all! There must be some other reason!" David hurriedly pressed the button on the console button while hurriedly flipping through the instruction manual.
"Found it! Article 37, anti-shielding system." David held the book with one hand and only showed it to Gu Hanhan, "I know, it's the mass balance of the spacecraft. The mass of the escape capsule was unbalanced after it was separated, so They just know. They can't see us, but they can attack according to the preset trajectory of the escape cabin-"
Gu Hanhan didn't want to hear it at all. "Look up there, there's a shot about to hit us! Left! Right! Left again!" She covered her ears and screamed, "Can you look at the ship first and ignore that damn manual!"
David continued to flip through the instructions: "We have to change it to full manual mode, and then break away from the preset track and walk out of the death light——"
However, after seeing David hurriedly sharpening his weapon in battle, especially compared to Anthony's masterful and majestic appearance when playing games, Gu Hanhan wondered whether David could complete this so-called "change it to full manual mode, and then leave the default setting" The difficult action of "railing out of the dead light" is very bottomless.
"Do you need my help..." she asked tremblingly. She was really nervous under the death light.
"Yes!" David said immediately, "Hold this operating lever for me, then press this, don't move this -"
Following David's instructions, Gu Hanhan pressed down the operating lever with one hand and held at least five buttons with the other hand. Facing the artillery fire that penetrated from all directions, all the muscles in his body were stretched and his muscles were so stiff that he could not move at all. . The rest of the matter was all directed at David.
However, just as Gu Hanhan was not sure, David used his own two hands and ten fingers, plus Gu Hanhan's two hands, and the four hands together were unable to play. This little escape pod. It was flying up and down in the death light, burrowing around like a headless fly. It had just brushed past the death light several times. To be honest, the fact that it hadn't crashed until now was entirely due to luck. Gu Hanhan's stomach turned upside down. If it hadn't been for the wrong time, she would have vomited.
The rescue capsule made an ugly roll under the control of the two of them, and then plunged into a dense area of gunfire. At least a dozen death rays were fired at the cabin at the same time, and there was no place to hide. Gu Hanhan leaned on the console, eyes wide open, and kept shouting: "David! David!"
"Fuck it!" David pushed the console with both hands and gave up control completely. Immediately afterwards, a huge energy disturbance radiated out from the center of his body, diffusing in the universe. The death light uniformly turned around the muzzle, shot towards the zenith, and converged into a dazzling little sun.
Gu Hanhan breathed a long sigh of relief and lay down on the console, feeling that he was exhausted and paralyzed. She said: "David, we are really useless. If I had known better, I would have used energy earlier to save embarrassment."
David was visibly relieved as well. "Sometimes I really can't understand how those combat systems can control such complex mecha combat boats on the battlefield with just ten fingers." He said to Gu Hanhan, "Of course. I don’t understand it now either.”
Under the control of David's pure mental power, the escape boat quickly moved away from the Gordon family's slave ship. Gu Hanhan looked back at the shining little sun at the zenith of the spacecraft and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You are such a good person, David," she said. "If it were another bastard who did this, those death rays would definitely not be deflected 90 degrees, but directly turn 180 degrees and return to the muzzle."
David was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you for reminding me, Hanhan, I will definitely think about turning them 180 degrees when I go to the battlefield in the future."
The escape pod was finally switched back to automatic mode. According to the coordinates provided by David, it landed on a gray planet after flying for three hours on autopilot.
It's still night time on this planet. The cabin door opened, and the dry wind blew in the face, bringing with it a special smell. Just as Gu Hanhan was about to go down, he was caught by David.
"Be careful, there's lava ash outside, you'll fall in if you're not careful."
He grabbed Gu Hanhan's arm and jumped out of the escape cabin. The energy field spread out under his feet, keeping them from touching the ground directly.
The earth is gray, an endless expanse of lava ash. The three-wheeled moon's rays of light shone from the sky, illuminating the gray earth like a silvery desert. At the end of the field of vision, there are several tall volcanoes, all of which are still alive. The fiery red lava is like a beacon in the dark night, and white smoke is steaming from the top.
"The similarity between Gray Star and the Earth is less than 70% - all the planets selected for training camps are not very similar to the Earth. Planets similar to the parent star have never been fertile ground for producing superpowers. . It is difficult for humans to survive, but a planet that is just indestructible is what is needed." David said to Gu Hanhan: "The Gray Star is full of active volcanoes, and one-third of the surface is covered with this kind of lava ash. The planet The gravity is 1.5 times that of the Earth, there is no rainfall, the main component of the air is sulfur, and the oxygen content is very low. It would be difficult for normal humans to survive here without modification."
"This planet is the training camp of the Duran family. The first training I did when I arrived here was in this lava swamp - the lava on the surface of the gray star will be hundreds of meters thick, the surface is fluffy, and the gravity is so strong that people If you step on it, it will sink like a swamp. So we call it the man-eating ash swamp." David bent down, groped in the lava ash for a while, and pulled out an emerald. He smiled and said: "The only interesting thing is that there are many gems in the ash, and the colors are very beautiful."
The shape of the emerald was very irregular, the surface was a little rough, and it looked ugly in David's beautiful hand. But after David shaved off one-third of its surface thickness and polished it smooth, a dazzling brilliance emanated from its interior, which was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. David punched a hole in one end, used the metal at the bottom of the cufflinks to pull a thin chain through it, and hung it around Gu Hanhan's neck.
"Let's go see the other side." He said, "There is an oasis over there, there is a small town, and the base of the training camp is also built over there. I will take you to see where I used to live." Hebrew said They are still there, but after so many years, I have never gone back to see them once.”
David picked up Gu Hanhan and took her to fly slowly behind the volcano. They flew over vast ash swamps and over active volcanic craters with rolling lava. Finally, we landed halfway up the southern foothills.
Spreading out at the foot of the mountain is a magnificent city, majestic and majestic like a monument to mankind's conquest of the universe during the Great Voyage. The city that stretches for hundreds of kilometers is shrouded in a huge ecological cover, covering the sky and the ground. In the center of the city, a pine cone-shaped glass building rises from the ground, reaching a height beyond the top of the volcano and reaching into the sky, towering and tall like a Tower of Babel. .
