Interstellar Love Hunting Guide

At the same moment, Russell was the Emperor of his own mining star.

After two years, the conditions of the mining stars have been different from what they used to be. The number of mining sites has been expanded to more than a dozen, all of which were built according to the standards of the galaxy's civil engineering. In order to shield the cosmic rays, a protective cover was also made. Because of the government subsidies, the technical staff are paid very high. Recently, many college graduates have come to apply for employment, and it happened to run into his inspections, so Russell also experienced an HR addiction.

In the first few days he left, the four treasures in the house were broken, like a wild dog biting off the reins, but he was making trouble at home, but within a few days he remembered his father’s goodness again, and all of them begged him with tears during the call. Back, Russell had been busy for half a month, the account was checked, the regular meeting was held, and he was a little homesick, so he decided to go home as soon as he received the off-line father-in-law and hapless son.

It’s just over an hour before dawn. The cyan sky is full of banded clouds. The searchlights on the mines in the distance are faintly visible. On the quiet plains, only the sound of the powerful engines of off-road vehicles can be heard. Russell is driving. Mercedes Benz is on the uneven road, with Rock Cat squatting on the passenger seat. When I was kidnapped, I didn’t think this place was good at all. The strange rocks were full of wind and sand, but now I’m a little in love with the western wasteland-like scenery. I came out early in the morning. Drag racing, the heart is full of a kind of lonely heroic pride.

Every otaku has a chivalrous dream... Russell sighed, turned on the stereo in the car, and the heavy metal rock gushed out. The scared Rock Cat shivered and swished into his arms. Russell laughed horribly. Laugh, hug your godson for a good meal and ravage.

As the car passed a section of hills, Russell slowed down and patted Rock Cat’s head: "Hey, look, Dad was here to pick you up back then." Rock Cat grabbed his collar, his head against the car window Looking out, nodding: "Meow ~ Dad."

Russell looked at the gentle hills and ferocious boulders outside, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Two years ago, it was this kind of night. The person sitting next to him was still Jopp, who looked timid like a mouse and innocent and kind. At that time, they often ran in the wilderness all night and night, staring at the surveyor looking for mineral veins, worried about tomorrow’s food.

It's been two years in the blink of an eye, everything is just like yesterday, where is the once ignorant boy? Russell laughed mockingly, who could guess that he was the wicked gangster of Queanbean by his side.

However, he still did not believe that doing these things was Jopp's original intention. It is impossible for a person to hide so well, and it is impossible for him to play a role that he does not approve all the time without flaws. Getting along day and night, even the actor will show his feet, but Jopp does not. Russell believes that the meticulous care and meticulous care are probably from his heart. Basically, he is a conscientious person.

Otherwise, Quinby would not send him to follow him for a long time. Only a person like Jopp, who is pure and good in nature, and cowardly and unaware of resistance to his master, can be overwhelmed.

Why do you think about this? Maybe he died in the flames of war a long time ago. Even if he is not dead and captured, he can only be awaited by military trial, death sentence, life imprisonment, or exile. Pay the price for what you have done.

Almost to the base, Russell stopped the car and wanted to go down to release the water. As soon as he put his hand on the door lock, Rock Cat rushed over, hugging his neck and humming as if he had something to say.

"Why? Do you want to pee too?" Russell patted the hard bumps on his head. The Rock Cat "meows" and pushed Russell into the car, but his eyes looked out of the car window, very alert.

"What's the matter?" Russell also became vigilant, turned on the headlights, and looked at Rock Cat through the car window. There seemed to be a dark shadow between the two small hills not far away, and he drove closer. I found that there was a big pit that seemed to have been smashed by something big. The land around the big pit was lifted up, and some rocks were rolling down beside it.

what? Russell turned on the communicator and called the guards: "Guards, this is Russell. I found something in the hills. You brought mine star security to come here. My coordinates are..." Originally, the guards were personally protecting him. , But Mine Star himself is very peaceful. He is a big man who doesn't want to be stuck on him all the time, so occasionally he doesn't let anyone follow him when he comes out in a drag racing.

After explaining the situation, he waited for a few minutes. Russell estimated that they would be there soon. Then he took out a gun from the drawer and got out of the car with Rock Cat.

It’s still dark, and it’s dark in the hills. Russell is holding a small flashlight. The light penetrates the darkness of dawn and sweeps towards the location of the incident. There seems to be something falling, because it fell from an oblique sting, on the ground. He smashed a deep hole, shoveled a large piece of land, squatted down and observed carefully, the scattered soil had some burning marks, it was dark, squeezed it and smelled it, and there was a smell of energy leaking.

It seemed that it was a falling aircraft with energy leaking. Russell clapped his hands, stood up and shouted into the depths of the big pit: "Hey, is there anyone? Is anyone alive?"

After waiting for a while, no one answered. Russell pulled out the ray gun and walked down the pit. Rock Cat followed him, looking a little scared, and screaming "Woo" in his mouth.

After walking only a few meters, I saw a small civilian single-person spacecraft inserted obliquely in the depths of the big pit, at an angle of about forty degrees to the ground. An indicator light on the engine flashed faintly, like an energy leak alarm.

"Is anyone in there?" Russell picked up a rock and threw it on the spacecraft, but there was no answer.

Energy leakage is very dangerous. Although the air on the Mining Star is thin, it might explode. Russell is afraid that the people inside will not be able to survive the rescue, so he decided to go and take a look. One or two people may have been injured, he should deal with it.

Climbing onto the spacecraft, the door was a little deformed. Russell used a ray gun to make a hole in the door lock. With the help of Rock Cat, he pulled the uneven door open. The flashlight swept in, "Is anyone?" "

A pair of azure blue eyes stared at him quietly in the dark, the people inside did not speak or move, as if they had suffered some serious injury, their breath was rapid, only the eyes were alive. Russell couldn't see his face, but he felt that his eyes were very peaceful. He pinned the ray gun to his belt, and crawled inside with the hatch: "Don't be afraid, I am the mine owner here. I have already called for rescue for you. Can it move? The energy tank is leaking. We'd better go out first."

"..."

"Hey..." Russell climbed closer and found that a shell of the console was deformed and jammed his leg. He just wanted to ask him if he had a fracture. When he raised his head, he was stunned.

Two lines of tears slid down the man's cheeks, and Jopp looked at him guiltily, bowed his head and choked, "Old, boss..."

I didn't expect to see him here. Russell was shocked for a while and couldn't figure out how he would break through the military blockade and come here, and he was still alone, and he didn't seem to have any weapons, and looked very embarrassed.

There was an awkward silence, and the two looked at each other for a long time, before Russell said: "The legs are okay? Can you go? I will get you out first." Slowly, he can't hate this child until now, but there is a kind of hatred that iron can't make steel. Disappointed, even if you really hate him, it is impossible to shoot him here. After all, he is an associate of Quinby, a wanted criminal, and a traitor, and should be handed over to the military.

Jopp didn’t answer, but shook his head in general. I don’t know if he doesn’t want to go or he can’t go. Russell knows his temper. He hesitates to say something when something happens. Just delay the time and fear that the ship will explode. Nothing. Said that he first found a tool to pry open the metal plate stuck on his leg, and carefully dragged him out of the cabin.

Jopp was terribly thin, as if he had just had a serious illness. His slim body was almost a handful of dry wood. Russell easily carried him on his back and climbed out of the pit and walked towards the off-road vehicle. Rock Cat still remembers Jopp, waving his tail affectionately, jumping around Russell's footsteps to talk to him: "Meow~meow~" but no response was received.

Jopp did not dare to look at Russell’s face, his arms were loosely hooked on his neck and lay on his back. Russell was shorter than him, and his body was not very strong. He was carrying him in a steady footstep, step by step briskly. On the burnt sand, leaving a string of straight footprints.

The long-lost warmth and tranquility seemed to be back again. Jopp suddenly remembered the days before. At that time Russell was just a civilian, a third-rate hunter, with no money or power, but he always felt safe with him, especially at ease, walking the dog every day. , Delivering express delivery, in just a few months, it surpassed many years, many years, or even a lifetime with my father.

If this is his life.

The cold liquid fell down his neck, and Russell knew that Jopp was crying again, and the thin body on his back twitched slightly, suppressing choking. In fact, there are many things that I want to ask Jopp, after all, this is his only friend in the delta galaxy, but he can't think of how to speak, how to make each other's hearts feel better, the only thing that is not so naked is hatred.

Soon he walked to the front of the car. Russell hooked the car door with his feet, turned his back and pushed Yopsy in. He got out of the car from the other side, increased the amount of oxygen in the car, and said, "I called the security guard. , I’m probably coming soon, and take you back to the base to go to the doctor."

Jopp still didn't dare to look at him, looking down at his legs. The Rock Cat was ignored all the way. Now he crawled over and pulled his front paw twice on his thigh. His eyes were sparkling and he called: "Meow. ~Meow~"

Jopp grinned bleakly at the corners of his mouth, and touched its head.

The guards and security guards came over with the convoy. Russell got out of the car and said, "I have seen it. It is a wrecked civilian spacecraft. The engine energy has leaked. It is best not to go there. There is no way to rescue it. Let's go back to the base first, and come back to have a look at night."

"Okay." The captain nodded. "Is it a civilian spacecraft? How many people are there? Are there any survivors?"

"There is one. In my car, my leg was injured."

"I'll take him, can I move it?" The security director didn't dare to bother the mine owner. Although Russell has always been very approachable, the boss is the boss after all.

"No, I'll take it. It's less than half an hour's drive anyway, let's go back." Russell turned into the car, the captain of the guard drove the **** one after the other, followed by the captain's car, and a group of people drove to the base. .

After driving the car for a few minutes, Russell felt embarrassed and asked him: "How did you escape?"

Jopp did not answer, and asked in a low voice after two seconds: "Old man, boss, are you okay? Has the child been born or given birth?"

Speaking of the child, this is the point that Russell can't forgive him the most. After a pause, he still said calmly and honestly: "It's okay, the children are good, they are almost two years old."

Jopp seemed to be relieved, his expression calmed a little, he looked at the electronic photo frame on the car console, which contained photos of Russell’s children, scrolled in the slideshow mode, his eyes lit up when Luo Xiaole came out, and he was delighted. Authentic: "Like you."

"Well, it's the sixth." Russell couldn't help but smile as he looked at the child who was making bubbles in the photo.

Jopp looked at the photo blankly, and after a while, he asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with me?"
