Therapy Planet No. 13

Vol 2 Chapter 150: stronghold

Marta shrugged. "It doesn't matter."

She looked at Angel meaningfully: "At least not now."

Angel remembered the previous conversation between Marta and Ah Han in front of her, and then contacted Marta's rather indifferent attitude, she immediately understood.

Even though Marta was burdened with suspicion, it was clearly not as deep as George's.

What's more, Marta's "superior" should be aware of this visit and acquiesce to her capture.

It's just that it's tacit approval of whoever is being captured...

This is up for debate.

Angel was controlled by Marta, and watched as she fished herself out of the sea and boarded the aircraft. After several consecutive accelerations close to the speed of light, she came to one of the few planets with traces of activity in the wilderness. , find the place where the signal tower is located and destroy it, and now he is bound by Wuhua Da and close to the hotel that is ready to settle down.

Marta stuffed Angel into the co-pilot, closed the door for her, and opened the door from the other side.

"Ah."

Angel turned his neck with difficulty and looked at Marta: "The one who was asked to catch, or in other words - kill, was actually Lui, right?"

Marta slammed on the gas pedal.

"It's in front."

In addition to Yue Ge and Zong Shili, this is the first time that all the "staff" of the current amphitheatre have set foot in an extraterritorial domain beyond the control of the federal government.

"...I thought it would be desolate here."

As soon as he got off the starship and walked into the street, Dongyang was almost hit head-on by a group of "children" who were running wild.

…If these small creatures with the top horns of their heads, the position of the arms as tentacles, and the lower limbs are not legs but discs and move quickly, they can still become "children".

The hawkers who set up stalls on both sides of the street and shouted made Dongyang realize that this was a large market.

Although there are quite a few non-human form of space creatures walking on the market.

To be precise, the ratio of human and non-human cosmic creatures here is about 1:2.

This area belongs to the non-federal government area. It used to be occupied by various people who were driven out by mainstream society. Human beings are mainly rogues, while others are part of the universe that has lost their right to speak in the social system controlled by the federal government. Race.

Although the federal government does not explicitly implement a "racial exclusion" policy, or even declares that it implements a "multi-racial" policy, the number of non-human races in key seats in relevant government agencies is limited and can only be counted as embellishments.

The universe is dominated by human groups, and other non-human cosmic creatures are either recognized by humans with their own unique survival mode—such as the Zerg—or they gradually fade out of human vision because the population is too scarce; or directly like Kunpeng Such an endangered intelligent creature - treated as a "rare creature" by humans as a special treatment.

Although there are occasional non-humans walking on the street, it will never form a "normal".

This is the first time that Dongyang has truly realized that "there are still many non-human life forms in the universe".

This is also the first time that Dongyang has the recognition that "human beings are a minority outside the country".

"Because ethnic minorities find that they cannot have equal voice in the federal system, and although the definition of life civilization in human society is judged according to the spiritual threshold, it still regards races that are too different from the human form as As 'heterogeneous', or, in other words, inferior beings—although some races have on average even higher psychic thresholds than those of the human race."

Liming explained as he walked, and when he was speaking, he took a bunch of candied haws from a "Overlord Flower" handed to her.

"Like plant species like this."

Liming showed a sweet smile at the "overlord flower", and it seemed that she had a good relationship with the residents here.

"Among all plant species, the closest humanoid is the 'tree man' in the traditional concept, but the tree man evolves slowly, moves slowly, and even takes hundreds of years to reach the spiritual threshold of civilization, so many tree people species They were deforested and killed on a large scale before they could communicate with humans."

Only those with a mental threshold of 1 can prove that the mental power is enough to connect to the star network.

Humans have invented the concept of spiritual threshold and star network, and they are widely implemented in the entire universe with the lowest standard that they can achieve.

Conformity is proven to be the hallmark of civilization.

"While some can live well in federal society, most are left out."

Dawn explained: "Later, this non-human group and the human beings who were also ignored in society gradually formed a community - and this is also the prototype of the Free Alliance, or the interstellar pirates."

Not everyone meets the stated "standards".

What is below the standard, or in other words unmeasurable outside the standard, is regarded as the antithesis of the civilized group.

When the human group itself is equated with civilization, inhumans have naturally become synonymous with sin and barbarism.

"What's the matter!" Dongyang was stunned.

Liming glanced at Dongyang with a look of "you have not received systematic cosmic history training", but he still raised a point of knowledge.

"In the early days of the early great interstellar era, before the spiritual power was discovered by brain scientists, the earth descendants treated the first 'alien' with courtesy, but until they found that the other party could not even have an effective dialogue with us and construct After it was no longer a threat, it was quickly regarded as a trophy for the expansion of the outer universe. At that time, many cosmic creatures were caught and locked in a special 'cage'... As more and more new life was discovered, there were even businessmen alone. A 'cosmic species zoo' was opened on a satellite and made a huge profit."

Dongyang: "...And then what?"

"This situation didn't ease until the Earth descendants encountered another high-level human civilization, and the two sides had a tentative battle."

Dongyang: "...why?"

Zong Shili interjected: "When the unknown becomes a threat, you will have a new sense of awe for all the unknown."

It was the first time Jessica heard Zong Shili's philosophical side, and she stared at her with wide eyes.

In the past, Zong Shili's image in her heart was that of a standard intelligence dealer, which had nothing to do with the big truth, but now at first glance, it seemed a bit like an angel.

Zong Shili: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Jessica quickly looked away: "...No, nothing."

She used Angel as an excuse: "I just think it would be bad if we left like this..."

After all, when they went to the bottom of the sea to look for Angel, they didn't find any trace of Angel and the Suzaku.

This kind of situation where there is no one alive and no dead body is worse than a certain death.

They would rather believe that Angel had been taken away first when they were entangled by the dawn.

Although Jessica said so, she also knew that blindly searching for a needle without any clues was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

And now everyone in the team is not the kind of righteous person who "inserts swords on both sides for the sake of friends".

Everyone gathered together because of their own interests or the same goals, but at the same time they were all too rational, and even the decisions they made at the juncture of crisis seemed so inhumane.

Even Jessica herself, after leaving Armie, wandered with He Huabin, only occasionally felt guilty for not being able to save Dawn, but that was only the case.

There will be no real progress.

Yue Ge has never dealt with Angel well, but when he heard Jessica take the initiative to mention it, he couldn't help but interject, "Have you heard a word?"

"what?"

"Good people don't live long, and disasters last thousands of years."

"…"

Jessica: I don't quite see why people can't be a little more honest in their relationships.

Soon, they were led by dawn to a small stronghold around the corner of the market.

"arrive."

From the outside, it looks like a simple fast food restaurant, with a large star map hanging on the wall as soon as the door is pushed in - except that it has been artificially cut with paint and knives, and it has a violent aesthetic look.

"Want something?"

Out of professional habit, Yue Ge took the lead to look around, his body was alert, but his mouth was not idle: "Why didn't you see the menu?"

Li Ming took the person to a table and sat down before he quietly said, "There is only one set meal here, and it's good and cheap, so there's no choice."

Yue Ge: "…"

She wanted to say something, but was taken aback by the original guests at the table.

Lucas was wearing a wide soldier's uniform, he didn't go through much modification, just slightly adjusted the scar on his face.

There is a lot of people coming and going here, the sales of military uniforms are not controlled, and the humans that appear are basically bloodthirsty at the tip of the knife. There are all kinds of strange people and even weird habits. People in military uniforms are the most common outfits, and they didn't attract much attention from Yue Ge at first.

If Dawn hadn't led them directly to this table, she might have simply ignored the number one leader of the Freedom Alliance.

"The rumored white shark is definitely not a false name." After calming down, Yue Ge said calmly.

Lucas smiled, but said to Zong Shili: "Dawn is right, the set menu here is really good, do you want to have it?"

He could see at a glance who had the right to speak in the team.

Or rather, it was premeditated.

"But it's disrespectful." Zong Shi's face did not change.

"By the way, I think I know who Angel might be in."

Dawn ignored Lucas and continued the previous topic.

"Who?" Jessica looked over immediately.

"Hello, your meal is ready."

The robot interrupted their conversation by dragging the tray.

Yue Ge looked at the classic burger, fries and cola set in front of him, and was speechless for a while.
