As far as he can see, there are boundless garbage, and the foul air is filled with the stench of the level of biochemical weapons.

The hatch opened.

The crew turned their two legs as soft as noodles and rushed out of the burned incomplete ship door crookedly, and then began to vomit wildly, vomiting stomach cramps, and dizzy.

It's not because of the smell.

It was because of their captain's fatal sailing skills.

Xiaoyi was the most tortured and vomited the most fierce, and almost vomited the bile.

As the culprit, Ge Xiu didn't seem to have the slightest guilt. He stretched out his stiff limbs in the position, and the bones made a slight rubbing sound under the muscles, and his eyes squinted like a cat.

In the distant sky, the lonely Alliance warship can be seen slowing down and approaching the surface of the planet, and it seems that it is also preparing to land.

Ge Xiu shouted: "Pack the supplies and withdraw."

The crew also knew the priorities. They stepped on the fluttering pace and rushed back into the cabin with the fastest speed, took the materials, weapons and tools they depended on for survival, and then followed Ge Xiu and quickly left the ship.

They stumbled and ran away in the undulating garbage dump. After walking a certain distance, Ge Xiu suddenly stopped his steps, and then dodged and hid behind the steel wreck slanting from the trash mountain. He made a follow-up gesture at the others. Although the crew were confused, they still followed Ge Xiu obediently and looked in the direction they came from through the cracks in the wreckage.

Not far away, there is a battleship with a burnt and broken fuselage and billowing black smoke. The front part is stuck in a soft garbage dump. The middle section is torn to reveal the steel skeleton, which looks terrible. The hatch is wide open, and you can vaguely see the emptiness.的内内.

On a flat and gentle **** behind, the Alliance warship was slowly landing, and a group of men in Alliance army uniforms filed out from the open hatch, loaded with guns and live ammunition, and trained to move closer to the warship they had boarded before. After confirming that there was no enemy in ambush inside, the advance troops cautiously walked into the opened cabin.

Ge Xiu curled his eyes, a pure and gentle smile overflowed on his lips, and silently made a mouth—

Bang.

As if it had touched a switch, the remaining hull of the warship exploded suddenly, and the deafening sound almost spread across the planet. The bright flames rushed into the sky, and the scorching shock wave almost knocked the outer Alliance forces to the ground. From this distance Only vaguely heard the panic cry of the Alliance army, and the appearance of the little figures in the dark blue uniforms quickly evacuating from the outside of the ship.

Obviously, fuel alone cannot cause such an explosion.

Xiaoyi turned his head to look at Ge Xiu dumbfounded, barely able to utter a syllable with his tongue.

Ge Xiu sighed happily, threw the detonator in his pocket aside, and then turned his head to look at the crew behind:

"Let's go, let's go."

With a careless smile on his face, and the blazing flames reflected in his indifferent eyes, he didn't seem to have the consciousness that he had blown up his only hope of leaving, and said lightly:

"Go, or wait to be caught?"

The crew returned to their senses and followed Ge Xiu to the distance and continued to evacuate.

The group of people, like tiny ants, got into the long and long, multi-colored mountains of garbage, and they couldn't find a trace in an instant.

The captain in the uniform of the Union army raised his hand to cover his nose, and watched with sullen expression before his eyes exploded into ashes, leaving almost no piece of intact metal residue of the ship, and frowned tightly.

He was covered in gunpowder and dust, apparently the adjutant who had barely escaped from the explosion stumbled back to his life:

"Report, report! The advance troops, there is no survivor of the advance troops!"

The captain’s complexion was even worse. Shen seemed to be able to drip water. He did not expect that there would be such a desperate person who would dare to load a large number of deadly bombs on the warship he was riding. , The outer protective layer is relatively thin, and no one dares to take such a big risk except for suicide attacks, so if you don’t notice it for a while, you will be hit directly.

He stared at the wreckage of the warship that was still burning in front of him, and asked coldly:

"Have the brains and navigation facilities loaded on the ship been rescued?"

The adjutant shook his head painfully:

"It's all blown up."

The captain was not surprised by this result. After all, the shell of the battleship was shattered to dust under such a large amount of destructive power, and the possibility that sophisticated and high-end smart devices would survive is extremely slim.

He once again remembered the thrilling chase just now. After joining the Alliance Army for so many years, he has never seen such a tricky and crazy operation method. The captains of the other crashed ships are experienced, but still He was thrown around, even if I think about it now, he can't help but still have lingering fears.

Years of military service gave the captain a hunch that the ship he was chasing this time might have a lot to do with the extremely tense warrior horse in the recent alliance. The desire to build merits ignited his eyes, but this time The danger of the task also made him more cautious:

"You bring half of the people, equipped with light energy guns, and divide them into small teams to search. If you encounter them, you will shoot directly, regardless of life or death."

"Yes!"

The ashes lieutenant took the order to leave.

The captain turned his head and said to another subordinate who was on standby behind him: "The remaining half of the people will stay on the ship with me."

The man was taken aback.

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly and explained: "Their ship was blown up. Now our ship is the only way to leave this planet. If they want to escape, they will definitely come to grab the ship."

"Sir wise!"

The young subordinates suddenly realized that their still immature faces were full of admiration.

The atmosphere of the garbage star is turbid without regrets. The extinguished star not far away hangs in the sky, like a decayed corpse, making the planet gray and decayed day and night, and endless garbage sticks under the feet. The greasy crunch, the various colors mixed together, exuding an unbearable disgusting smell.

A group of people walked deep and shallow among the garbage dumps.

After all, this is their home planet.

Looking at the monotonous repetition, the irregular mountainous terrain is very familiar in their eyes. The rotten garbage with a deep foot and a shallow foot did not slow down their pace, and soon they would have no clue to search for them. The trailing Confederate army was far behind.

As Ge Xiu walked, he picked and picked from the trash piles he passed by, occasionally finding some peculiarly shaped broken copper and rotten iron, and threw it into the arms of the small one aside.

Seeing that it was about to approach the residential area in the Trash Star, the scene on the roadside became more and more familiar, and everyone's expressions were no longer as calm as before.

Although I haven't seen any acquaintances yet, even just looking at the dirty planet where I have lived for decades makes everyone feel complicated: nostalgia, joy, sorrow, pain... all twisted into an inexpressible depression. , Accumulated deeply in everyone's eyes, and spread throughout the entire team.

Xiaoyi quickened his pace and joined Ge Xiu and asked:

"Little Qi, what shall we do next?"

Ge Xiu didn't answer, because he was busy digging through the garbage dump on the side to find something. He didn't seem to mind the foul smell in it. He took out half of the burned chip from the depths of the garbage dump with his bare hands. Come out, wipe it clean with the hem, and look carefully at the cloudy and gray light in the air.

A crew member suggested: "The Alliance army who is chasing us should start searching for us on the planet soon. After all, we are weak and difficult to fight against. It is better to complete the mission as soon as possible before they find us. ."

"Yes, that's right." The other person nodded in response, turned to look at Ge Xiu, and asked, "Then what shall we do now? Tell the people in the gathering area to gather in the square or look for them one by one?"

Ge Xiu was thrown by the broken chip in his hand, carrying his baggage in a hard-working manner, holding the tattered Xiaoyi in his arms, and raised his eyebrows to look over.

His expression was still sloppy, but his eyes unexpectedly gave people an extremely sharp feeling, which shocked people involuntarily.

Ge Xiu shrugged, and suddenly asked nonchalantly: "Do you know when the selection based on the Alliance Humanitarian Decree started?"

Everyone was stumped by his sudden problem.

The crew member who made the suggestion hesitated for a while and replied hesitantly: "This...we don't know the exact time, but anyway, since we have memories, the selection has already appeared..."

"That's right."

Ge Xiu turned around, looking aimlessly on the garbage dump beside him, while slowly saying:

"Will you directly overthrow your own ideas that have been ingrained since you can remember because of the rhetoric of an outsider?"

Everyone was choked.

They glanced at each other and saw the same uncertainty in each other's eyes.

On the garbage star, no one has the conditions to receive any form of education. Even if someone can barely recognize a few words, they are still in consideration of survival. The groping and learning from the vague signs on the garbage is extremely bad. The environment and alliances come to collect labor from time to time, which also leads to the extreme life expectancy of residents here, narrow and stubborn vision.

Everyone asked themselves, if they hadn't really experienced the thrilling situation of almost becoming a slave, as well as the study on the main ship and the contact with other more knowledgeable people in the past few months, they would not be able to rely solely on the words of others. Easily deny one's own experience and ideas of ten or even twenty years.

Plus...this is the reason all the residents of the Junk Star have to survive hard, and it is their only hope in extreme environments.

All the crew fell silent, and they finally realized the biggest obstacle to their journey.

It is not the alliance warships that follow, the wanton search of enemy troops, or even the return spacecraft that has long been blown to ashes, but the intertwined and even indestructible false beliefs on this planet-among the inhabitants of the garbage star. So struggling to survive so hard is because, one day, they may get rid of such a harsh environment in front of them, and can live a dignified life with their own hands and labor.

-And they don't allow anyone to take this hope from their lives.

Xiaoyi looked at Ge Xiu for help, and almost asked hopelessly:

"We... can we really convince everyone that all this is a scam?"

Ge Xiu dug out another half of the machine fragment from the garbage dump on the side, threw it into Xiao Yi's arms again with great pleasure, and then replied lightly:

"sure."

Everyone was taken aback.

Ge Xiu smiled and turned his head to look at the crowd: "People who have survived such a dangerous and harsh environment are not actually incapable of detecting the strangeness. They just chose not to see, listen, or believe. Allow yourself to indulge in false and deadly hope, and give up the possibility of reality for the sake of an illusory illusion."

His smile was beautiful and even cruel: "Only breaking their unrealistic fantasy is the only way to solve the problem."

Hold your breath for a moment, and ask softly: "Then...what are we going to do?"

Ge Xiu gently jumped over the gap between the pieces of garbage, and answered calmly:

"Split into teams and find friends and relatives you know, especially the families of those residents who escaped from the Leibert, and tell them—"

Ge Xiu turned his head, his lips curled up:

"The next selection will begin."
