Chapter 880 Dirty Child

Chapter 880: Dirty Child

(The computer crashed and was just repaired...)

There is nothing weirder than discussing the end of the world while walking in a recycling bin filled with weird smells, polluted air and litter on the floor. The atmosphere here makes you feel like you are walking in a distinctive apocalyptic horror film. Everyone was convinced of this, especially Lilina, a loli who seemed to have an unusual sense of aesthetics. She claimed that she sensed a gothic style of scrap metal decadent beauty from the twisted wreckage around her, and began to think about what caused this. She was fascinated by the end of the world. In her words, the decadent garden twisted after the end of the world was simply the ultimate miracle of violent aesthetics. For this reason, my sister held this girl down and spanked her for three minutes, and Lilina gave her the spanking. Crying for father and mother.

What I said before is correct. Busujima Saeko should be grateful that she received physical strengthening when she enrolled in the Imperial Military Academy, because the environment here is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to survive. In this place where countless abandoned starships are piled up On a metallic planet, the gravity is 1.5 times that of the earth. A female high school student with a weak constitution will never be able to walk very far, and the air environment here is even worse. We don’t know what is supporting this ruined planet. Regarding the oxygen content of the atmosphere, it may be that the ecosystems inside the wrecked warships are leaking, or it may be that the local indigenous people have repaired the atmospheric generators - I would rather believe it is the latter, otherwise the ecological environment here is simply too unreliable. Because preliminary scans show that there is no complete ecosystem in these ruins, and the number of plants is so sparse that it is negligible. It is wishful thinking to rely on biological power to maintain the balance of oxygen in the atmosphere. The indigenous residents here are obviously similar to humans, and they need the earth. Only an oxygen-rich atmospheric environment can survive, so for their sake, I would rather they master the technology of repairing ancient atmospheric generators than build the atmosphere here on the ancient ecological balls in the wreckage of the spacecraft.

By the way, what was mentioned earlier - oh, Saeko's physical enhancement and the air environment here.

The air environment here is terrible. Although its oxygen content is enough for ordinary people to survive, the air is filled with many impurities, toxic gases, radiation dust, and metal dust. The energy-transmitting crystals on the battleships were formed after seven hundred thousand years of weathering. Suspended particles, as well as organic acid clouds that are even more deadly to the respiratory tract. These dangerous things, together with other components similar to the earth's atmosphere, make up the air environment around us. If you come to this place rashly without protective equipment, you may experience everything from bronchitis to late-stage lung cancer in a short time, and depending on the situation, you may suffer from serious diseases such as acute respiratory heavy metal poisoning... Dear, I still feel that I Is the air pollution in the city you live in serious? Come here and take a deep breath. I swear from now on you can thank God for giving you fresh air and blue sky and white clouds at the gate of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant...

After strengthening her body, Seiko would not be poisoned by the polluted air. She even learned how to control her enhanced organs in an extracurricular interest group, stop breathing and rely only on non-oxidative chemical reactions to maintain her activities, but this did not It couldn't stop her from showing great dissatisfaction with the harsh environment around her. Wearing the Imperial Military Academy high school girl's uniform of a short skirt and over-the-knee socks, she seemed to feel that the heavily polluted air around her was constantly invading through her exposed skin. My capillaries feel uncomfortable all over. She waved her hand in front of her nose. Even if she wasn't breathing, the pungent sensation caused by accidentally taking a few deep breaths just now made her unable to help but do so: "Master...brother, this place is simply more full of zombies." Bu’s city is still disgusting.”

"Indeed, it seems that either the respiratory system of the indigenous people here is different from that of the people on Earth, or they have evolved bronchial tubes made of steel and iron." I opened the energy shield around me, and connected the depressed-looking Saeko and the other side. The sneezing Yakumo Blue was enveloped together, and then he looked up at the dim light hanging high up, "The way this ruined planet is formed is simply too unscientific. Tavel just sent back information saying that she scanned the ruins including this The cores of the three large garbage dumps including the planet have strong energy reactions, which shows that the remains of their cores are probably still functioning. I really don’t know what happened here back then. These spaceships would look like this. Stacked together, it looks like a mass grave..."

A bunch of us were walking on the deserted "road". It was said to be a road, but in fact it was just a complete metal skeleton. This skeleton was dozens of meters wide and spanned two pieces of garbage filled with scrap metal. In the middle of the field, there is barely a traffic route that can be called a road. The transport plane has been left behind by us. We won't be using it for the time being anyway, and there is really no need to recycle the transport that was smashed to pieces by Bingtis's brain twitch. Looking around, the first thing you see is a gray metallic color. Large pieces of alloy fragments make up the broken earth. There is almost no real flat area in sight, even though the entire "planet" should be like this. It looks broken, but this is obviously the most broken place under our feet. Large and small steel wreckage were piled randomly in the distance, forming hills hundreds of meters high. This "planet" was originally the ruins of countless battleships. The steel wreckage was like a pile of garbage piled on a garbage dump. ——This is really a weird way to describe it, but I can't find a more suitable word. The broken metal, which was extremely sharp due to brutal tearing, stretched out abruptly from the broken earth, pointing straight towards the chaotic sky. Under the dirty light, it looked like a skinny arm stretching towards the sky, with some dirty look. Dirty rags were blown up by the wind and hung on the sharp metal spikes pointing high into the sky. They were flying in the high wind, looking like weird pirate flags.

There is a dirty atmosphere above this ruined planet. Regardless of the quality of the air, its thickness is slightly thicker than the Earth's atmosphere. Since there are no stars in this "universe", all the lighting here comes from artificial light sources, which are hung high outside the atmosphere. There are countless large fireballs, one of which hangs in the sky every few thousand kilometers, emitting an uncomfortable dazzling white light. The brightness of these light sources is very high, but the comfort is really unflattering.

Sandora observed the surrounding environment for a while, looked up at the sky, frowned and said: "It's a nuclear fusion reactor, a very primitive thing. It seems that the only value here is to generate heat and light."

"I'm quite curious about where they came from." My sister also pointed to the nuclear factories in the sky that emitted dazzling light and provided heat for the entire ruined planet. "Fusion reactors and nether energy reactors are worlds apart. The natives here know how to use imperial spaceships, but they still retain these fusion reactors, even if they are only used for lighting, which is a very strange phenomenon."

I thought about it and understood what my sister meant: "It's like using torches to illuminate the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

Everyone said that my summary was very accurate...

Despite the harsh environment and weird atmosphere, it still couldn't stop my baby Qianqian from exploring the new environment. After walking with us for a while, Qianqian jumped up and went not far away with Lilina. We had an adventure on a small garbage mountain. My sister and I couldn't stop shouting. The two of them dug up a pile of scrap metal that was at least a hundred meters high. Then the two of them happily ran back and held each other's hands. Holding a lot of messy gadgets, not to mention scrap metal, there were also some more precision parts, broken crystal hubs, and even a data terminal. Lilina handed over the data terminal as if it were a treasure. I came over with a flattering smile on my face. I pinched the little girl's cheek and pressed a few times on the data terminal. The latter actually lit up for a moment, but after crossing a few symbols, it started to smoke.

Compared with this gadget, it was the few metal fragments that were pulled back that caught Sandora's attention.

"The traces of manual cutting, and it is not the kind of brute force cutting during fighting. The tangent lines at these two angles are intentional." Sandora put a metal plate that Qianqian had brought back in front of her eyes and looked at it. , "Yes, secondary processing...someone recycles the metal remains in the ruins and reproduces them, and this is a garbage dump after all the reproduced things are completely scrapped."

"Wow, we really landed in a good place. Your location selection is even better than Lin's."

Such unscrupulous complaints were made to Sandora without any scruples. You didn't need to think about it to know who it was: the rogue goddess Bingtis.

No one answered Bingtis's complaints. We all knew that she was just bored. Under Shandora's guidance, we gradually moved towards the direction with traces of human settlement. In order to directly observe the environment here, we all chose to walk. Although the "scenery" here is not very good, the twisted and strange surroundings The scrap metal is quite novel and interesting to Qianqian.

After ten minutes of walking, everyone arrived at the edge of this garbage dump. Only then did I realize that it was located on a high ground. The "flat land" stopped abruptly at my feet. In front of me was a slope of nearly 90 degrees, about a mile away. At the end of the 100-meter slope, a dozen or so sparse lights can be seen. Those dim lights emanate from the gaps in the houses made of stacked old and twisted metal plates, indicating that this is the so-called residential area.

"When the 'Hope' crashed on Mars, I didn't expect that he came from such a broken place." There was a golden halo flowing slowly between Sandora's hair. She bent down and pressed her hands on the ground. "We seem to be in an oversized slum, and the obsession with food and clean water is almost breathless."

"How long do you plan to hide?!"

Lin Xue, who had been silent all the way, suddenly turned to look at a pile of twisted pipes about thirty meters away from us, and shouted loudly to the people hiding behind the pipes.

In fact, we all felt that there was someone hiding nearby from the beginning, but the energy response of the other party was really weak, so no one paid attention to it. Of course, there were still some people among the crowd who reacted slowly, and he was the only one among us who was not a combatant. Seiko immediately looked in the direction of Lin Xue's gaze in surprise: "Is there anyone else there?"

Surrounded by so many pairs of eyes, the person hiding behind the exhaust pipe finally couldn't hide. With the sound of clothes rubbing on the ground, a small figure emerged from behind the messy garbage, dark and dark. Only a pair of golden eyes were shining on his face, watching the stranger in front of him warily.

It was a little boy wearing coarse cloth stained with oil. The original color could hardly be seen all over his body. Even his hair was stuck in strands with dirt because he had not washed it for many years. He looked like a little boy who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old. His appearance made Seiko exclaim: "Child?"

Noticing that the little boy in front of me had a very nervous expression and looked like he might run away at any time, I immediately used my hidden weapon: Sister, push my sister forward and leave the rest alone.

This is a rule that everyone firmly believes in: once one sister comes out, all the naughty children around the world will tremble!

With a warm smile that could almost make someone suffer from middle-to-late-stage diabetes, Sister-in-law waved to the children not far away. Although I thought that smile was enough to make any naughty child relax his vigilance, what was unexpected was that , the little boy not far away was still looking at us warily, without any sign of getting closer, and looking at his tightly clenched fists and slightly trembling calves, it seemed that the other party was still planning to escape - this made my sister frustrated. The ground sighed.

"Ahem, don't be afraid, we are not bad people," I coughed slightly, but it startled the other party, but fortunately, the other party did not run away, and then I quickly pointed to the person who was squatting on the ground trying to trick the mercury lamp into eating the wire. Lilina, "Except this."

Lilina suddenly jumped up like a spring: "Boss, you can't do it!"

Mercury Lamp quickly grabbed the hem of Lilina's skirt. The 1.09-meter-tall Pope fell to his knees on the spot, and then the two little girls, who had always occupied the lowest point in height at home, got into a fight again.

"Are you from the big city?"

Maybe it was the children's play (...) that made the boy opposite us relax his vigilance. After he looked at us cautiously, he spoke in a timid tone. His voice sounded a little hoarse, but it was still pleasant.

The big city the other party mentioned should be a place name, but we don’t know what kind of place is called big city on these floating space junk islands, but I still nodded: "How did you tell?"

"Only people from big cities can wear such beautiful clothes, and you are very clean."

The little boy's eyes were constantly attracted to the mercury lamp which was only 92.3 centimeters tall but made a lot of noise. However, he still knew how to answer my questions. He pointed at the clothes we were wearing, with envy in his eyes, but also some. fear.

It seems that the "big city" he is talking about is a place where the upper class people live. In the mind of this little boy, who is as dirty as the surrounding garbage dumps, it is probably a place where only big people can get close, and to him, the big people there are Most of them are not easy to get along with.

Sandora and I couldn't help but look at each other, and quickly deduced the social status and mentality that the other party might have in this situation. Then Sandora nodded to the opposite party, with an expression that might fit the so-called The indifference of the social status of the residents of "Big City": "Well, we are from Big City, but what the hell is this place?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, maybe because he felt that we were different from the people in the "big city" in his impression, but a small character like him wouldn't think too much about such things. He pointed to the garbage dump around him: "Here This is the e-66 metal station, and below is the town of 'Condenser'. People from big cities rarely come to this kind of place. Are you looking for people or things? I am very familiar with the environment here..."

"What's your name?" My sister suddenly took a step forward. This time, the other party did not step back. "We are just passing by, but we may stay for a day or two. Well, you don't need to worry about what we do, but we do need to A guide."

The little boy once again showed the same dazed expression as before when his sister said "passing by", and then quickly replied: "My name is Glick, I am the son of the old Glick family, and I am also the best in Condenser Town. guide!"

After saying this, the little boy named Glick looked at us with hope. This look made me stunned, and then I immediately realized: the other person was asking for payment or something.

This is really strange. Just now he was trembling with fear from our large group of people, for fear of being beaten, but now he started to ask for payment from us like a cunning little businessman, and volunteered to be a guide. I can He was convinced that our group of outsiders must be incompatible with normal people in his eyes, even different from the "big city" people he knew, but this little boy threw these suspicious things behind his mind. Now start concentrating on getting a little bit of benefit for yourself.

Of course, I don't care about what kind of world view the other party has. I'm thinking about one thing right now - what kind of currency I should use to make the other party not suspicious, and then obediently become our leader in this ruined world. Where is the guide?

The RMB will definitely not work, and neither will the Imperial Coin crystal card that is universal in the macro world - there is absolutely no place to swipe cards here. The Koreans may announce that their banknotes can be used here, but I want to believe that they might as well believe in Lilina moral integrity.

But within a few seconds, this problem was solved by the smart sister. She took out a small metal box that shone with silver light from her pocket, and then threw it forward, and the small metal box hung in mid-air. , and then quickly transformed into an autonomous machine with a diameter of less than half a meter, many mechanical arms, and projecting a lot of holographic images in the air. It is the kind of clever and interesting little robot often seen around Gaia. , the cheapest and simple work unit, although it does not have much intelligence and little strength, this kind of autonomous machine can adapt to any job, and can modify its own structure in a very short time, evolving a robot arm suitable for new jobs—— In short, this is a very common machine worker, which can be seen everywhere in the empire base, but I didn't expect that my sister would still carry this kind of thing with her. What does she use this thing for?

"I put several greenhouses in my portable space," my sister noticed my confusion at a glance, and leaned over and whispered, "They are responsible for watering and fertilizing."

I:"……"

The little boy's attention was attracted by his sister's action of pulling these things out of the air, but he did not show any shock. Just as we guessed, the space equipment of the Xiling Empire is not unimaginable in this world. What really made the little boy exclaim was his sister's next words: "This is for you."
