EP 965. Lilima’s Friend

The function is similar to that of a mobile phone, and the usage will not be much different.

There was no need to sit down and listen to the teller's explanations. There were accompanying instructions, and Lilima, a local, provided guidance and supplements. Shi Xiaolei felt that it was enough for him to learn to use these communicators.

"Where are you going next?" After leaving the mall, Shi Xiaolei stopped and turned to look at Danyang and Qiao Qian who had been walking beside him without saying much: "The business is finally done. If you have any place you want to go, now is the time. It’s still early, so it’s okay to go for a walk.”

"Hmm." After thinking for a moment, Danyang shook his head in confusion: "I don't have any ideas, so whatever."

"What about you?" After touching the little girl's head, Shi Xiaolei looked at the other one: "Qiao Xi, what did you say?"

"If possible, I want to go to the vegetable market." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, Qiao Qian replied expectantly: "Before coming out, the sisters reminded me to go there if I have time."

"So, are you planning to try to make some dishes using ingredients from this planet?"

"Yes. As you said, Master, there are a lot of ingredients imported from various planets here, and many of them are very suitable for humans. Everyone is looking forward to it and want to try it." Speaking of this, Qiao Qi added He smiled sheepishly: "Also, I also want to go to the market to see if there are any seed vegetables. If so, I want to buy some and take them back to see if they can be grown."

"Okay, let's go to the vegetable market." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei turned to look at Lilima: "Dear tour guide, it's time for you to show off. Do you know where there is a vegetable market?"

"Of course." Lilima patted her chest and smiled confidently: "There is one nearby. I go there often and I am very familiar with it."

"It's not far, can I walk there?"

"Hmm... If you walk, it will take about a meal. If possible, it's best to take the shuttle there."

"I understand, come with me." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei took the lead and walked towards the 'parking lot' in the corner of the square.

I won’t go into detail about the fact that I diverted to the vegetable market for shopping.

In short, under Lilima's guidance and recommendation, Shi Xiaolei and others once again opened their eyes and saw many kinds of ingredients that they had never seen before.

Among them, about one-fifth of the species are similar to some kind of animal or plant on earth. But most of them are still weird in shape, something that human aesthetics and habits would find very strange.

For example, there is a plant root that looks like a rock, but is used for roasting and eating.

For example, some kind of beast with a metallic luster and lines that resemble fish, but is classified as a land creature.

Another example is that there is a ring of fangs and sharp teeth in the center of something. After cutting it open, you can see muscle fiber patterns. No matter how you look at it, it should be classified as an animal, but it is actually a flower of a plant...

If you saw these weird gadgets in other places, it might not be a big deal, but because you saw them in a vegetable market that sells ingredients... When you think of these weird gadgets as food, and imagine the scene when you eat them, don't Talking about Shi Xiaolei, Danyang and Qiao Qian, even Coulson, who was mentally tough and had received special training, could not help but have his sanity plummet, showing disgust and resistance in his eyes.

As a result, after shopping around, they didn't buy anything except the ones Qiao Xi planned to use for planting experiments.

"It's so boring. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come."

"It's not in vain. At least we figured out one thing." Shi Xiaolei pinched Danyang's little face and smiled: "When it comes to food, our own is better, isn't it?"

"That's right." Recalling the scene where he helped dig potatoes together, Danyang also laughed, with a bit of pride and pride on his face.

"Let's go back. I'm a little hungry after being out for so long. Calculating the time, they may be preparing dinner..." Shi Xiaolei took the lead and walked to the front again: "I'll be back just in time for dinner. I'm so happy, haha."

"Uh-huh."

It was still the same as before, Shi Xiaolei was in charge of driving, and Coulson occupied the passenger seat.

The difference is that there is an extra Lilima in the back row.

"Huh?" Not long after taking off, Lilima let out a small breath.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Locke, have you changed your accommodation this time?" Looking outside through the porthole, Lilima blinked in surprise: "This direction... the hotel you stayed at last time is not this way. "

"Didn't I say that?" Shi Xiaolei smiled: "This time I rented a bigger place in the suburbs. There are a lot of people coming, and it's not convenient to live in the city. Besides, the house I lived in last time There may not be enough rooms in the hotel to accommodate all my companions.”

The first half of the sentence is nothing, but the second half...

After estimating the size of the hotel last time in her mind, Lilima couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Can't you fit in? Mr. Locke, how many people are here this time?"

"A few hundred. What's wrong?"

"..." After hearing this, Lilima was completely stunned.

It wasn't until a while later that she asked awkwardly: "Do you need me to help you contact some tour guides? If your companion also wants to go out and needs someone to accompany you, I can probably... no, definitely Too busy."

"The receptionist who rented the house to me left me a brochure, saying that if I need a tour guide, I can contact him directly using the communicator in the house." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei continued: "But if you have more information, I don’t mind asking you to introduce a few good candidates. Do you know anyone who is suitable? I mean, someone who works hard and has above-average professional abilities.”

"I know about four...three of them."

"Three? I heard you. You originally wanted to say four, right? Why did you lose one more?" Since he had nothing to do, Shi Xiaolei asked casually.

"Because... something happened recently, and my friend's identity is relatively sensitive." After saying this, I felt that it was a bit too vague and inappropriate. Lilima paused and explained in more detail: "You may have heard about it. Recently, the Kree seem to be doing something small. In order to guard against the Kree, the adults of the Nova Corps have stepped up their vigilance. A lot of management regulations that are not usually available have been implemented.”

"That friend of mine is actually really kind and a good person. However, because she was captured and experimented by the Crees, her body has undergone some changes, so every time like this, she always "I was implicated." Lilima sighed in a depressed mood: "Just four days ago, she was stopped by patrolling guards again, and she was almost arrested as a spy and imprisoned in Klin Prison. ”

Stopped by a patrolling guard?

Hearing these words, Shi Xiaolei immediately remembered the scene during the inspection half a day ago.

Comparing the experience of Lilima's friend, he couldn't help but think of Jia Ying and others who were still waiting for news in Ark.

"Then how did she escape the disaster?" With some ideas in mind, Shi Xiaolei followed the flow of the conversation and asked calmly.

"It's still the same. The guards put a monitoring neck ring on her." Lilima sighed again: "Although that thing won't restrict her movements, my friend still feels very uncomfortable. Comfortable. To tell you the truth, this is the third time this has happened to her. Just the day before yesterday, she told me that she wanted to leave Xandar and live elsewhere. "

"A neck ring for monitoring?" Thinking of the electronic shackles specially equipped for supervision subjects seen in the United States, Shi Xiaolei asked smoothly: "The kind worn by prisoners?"

"Prisoner?" Lilima blinked in confusion: "Prisoners don't need to wear that. I have received a guest who has worked in Kelin Prison for several years before, and he talked to me about some things in the prison."

"...Uh." Shi Xiaolei then remembered that the rules on Xandar might be different from those on Earth: "I mean, in some places I've been, I've seen prisoners wearing similar things."

"oh."

"If I were your friend, I would feel very uncomfortable. You have to be monitored even though you have made no mistakes, haha." Shi Xiaolei smiled sarcastically: "Is there no other way? With the technological level of Xandar, it should be It’s not difficult to do, right?”

"There is another way." Lilima nodded: "I heard that it involves injecting some kind of medicine, I don't know very well."

"Potion?"

"Yeah. Some people call it an antidote, and some people say it's a poison. I've heard that it seems that after being injected with that medicine, it can erase all the results left by the Kree people in their experiments."

For those who do not want to have superpowers or become inhuman due to experimental modifications, injecting drugs to erase the experimental results and return to ordinary daily life may be what they are looking forward to.

From this perspective, it is quite appropriate to say it is an antidote.

On the other hand, if you are unwilling to give up your superpowers, or do not care about the changes in appearance and would rather retain other abilities brought about by experimental modifications, this potion will definitely be strongly resisted by those people.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's poison.

"It sounds a bit invasive. Rather than injecting medicine into the body, it seems safer to wear a neck ring." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei asked again: "Speaking of which, did anyone take the initiative to ask for the injection? I mean , there should be some people who really want to settle down on Xandar Planet for a long time, and then, in order to avoid encountering something like your friend, they take the initiative to ask for injections, hoping to get it done in one go and avoid future troubles, right?"

"Well..." After thinking for a while, Lilima shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, I don't know."
