Walk alone in the abyss

[The white ghost suddenly visited the "slum area" of Saka star. When the local government officials rushed to hear the news, they encountered a series of car accidents. 】

In a kilometer-class supply ship.

Daphne frowned slightly as she looked at the message that popped up on the screen in her hand.

First, a group of aristocrats looking for faults turned their attitudes 180 degrees;

Then a senior civil servant of the local government suffered a series of car accidents;

Did you make such a big noise when you first took office?

Daphne looked out the porthole, the depth of space and the romance of the stars reflected in her ice blue eyes, outlining the complex light called human thinking.

...

"A car accident?"

In the lobby of an old building, Yang Ming looked at the sweaty government workers in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Is it serious?"

"Serial car accident! The whole convoy crashed! The vehicles seemed to be out of control, and one after another slammed into the nearby buildings. The acting governor of Saka star died on the spot, and his head flew off!"

"This may be an attack, it's an attack, my lord! In normal car accidents, no one can die. Vehicles have protection systems, but this time almost all of them were fatal car accidents!"

"The heads of all departments have problems at the same time! This must not be a coincidence!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Yang Ming nodded calmly: "Are there any pedestrians killed or injured at the scene?"

"No, no, there are only a dozen or so car attendants of your lords."

"That's good," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Just let the public security office file a case for investigation, don't disturb my interest with such trivial matters, don't you see that I'm trying to make local specialties?"

These civil servants glanced at the ingredients in Yang Ming's hands, and their expressions were a little uncertain.

This is a crop called 'No. 93' sweet potato. Although it can be planted in highly polluted soil, it will accumulate a lot of pollutants. It is edible, but it will cause problems if eaten.

Now this thing is the staple food of half of the people on Saka.

Master Phantom is targeting them!

They were circling the situation of the serial car accident in their minds, looking at the smile on Yang Ming's mouth, and the scene in front of them, and then thinking of the white ghost's usual behavior...

The temperature in the hall was very low, about seven or eight degrees, but drops of sweat were dripping from the foreheads of these civil servants.

"You know it too."

Yang Ming continued to bow his head, pinching the sweet potato dough in his hands:

"I have a big temper, the first is to look down on fallen nobles, and the second is to look down on corrupt officials.

"The problem with Star Saka is very serious, everyone should be dead now, and the rest of you civil servants may only be to a lesser extent, and may be considered clean.

"In short, go back first, let the person with the highest position in each department stand up and act as the acting head of the department, and quickly distribute what can and should be distributed.

"How to arrange later, I will consult with the new governor after the arrival of the new governor in accordance with the provisions of the imperial law."

The civil servants looked at each other.

"My lord, those car accidents could have been caused by you..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I've been chatting with everyone here to get something to eat, but I don't know about the car accident."

The group of old and young women and children around nodded at the same time.

The boy named Peterson immediately said: "Are you suspicious of Lord Phantom?"

"Of course, of course not."

"Sirs, if you have nothing to do, please go and get busy," Peterson said, "Our place is quite dirty, and you will easily get sick if you stay for a long time."

"Okay, okay, my lord, let's investigate the cause of the car accident first."

These civil servants bowed to Yang Ming, then bowed their heads and left in a hurry.

When walking alone, my legs and feet were not smooth, and I almost slipped and fell when I stepped on the ground.

Seeing this, Yang Ming laughed, and put the little white rabbit that he pinched in his hands next to the stove that the residents built themselves.

There was also a little laughter around, and Pisent asked in a low voice, "Is this a farmed pig you pinched?"

Yang Ming nodded with a smile, and continued chatting with several old people.

The situation is indeed dire.

Medical care and education are interrupted regionally, and only a small area can use the Internet normally. Millions of people are struggling to survive in this city full of garbage.

Yang Ming didn't ask what the residents here needed.

Because everyone lacks everything.

They didn't take the initiative to ask Yang Ming for anything, they just expressed their gratitude to Yang Ming, put on the most decent clothes, showed the happiest smiles, and took out the food they had stored.

Although the environment here is harsh, a weak new social system has been produced, which can barely maintain people's basic survival.

However, the ability of this system to withstand shocks is very weak. A bad weather or an acid rain that lasts for too long will cut off their food supply and lead to famine.

Saka Star, when Yang Ming first came to this planet, although it was lifeless, its basic operation was still fine.

If pest infestation is considered a natural disaster, then all kinds of tricks in the post-disaster reconstruction are man-made disasters.

A round of natural and man-made disasters came, and the whole society collapsed completely.

It is gratifying that there are houses here to live in casually.

Due to the destruction of the government's credibility and the disappearance or departure of the property owners, a large number of buildings here have become vacant.

Buildings at the level of interstellar civilization can be used for hundreds to thousands of years. The buildings here can create a comfortable living environment with a little decoration.

In addition, the technological development of human civilization in energy has also made this place not short of energy.

To help the people here solve the basic problems of survival, the easiest way is to purchase 300 large-scale organic synthesis devices, and use abundant energy to synthesize edible organic matter such as starch.

——This is not technically troublesome, and the price is relatively cheap. Generally, there is emergency rescue after a disaster.

Yang Ming took the time to send a message to Li, and related work is already underway.

First solve the problem of survival, and then gradually import food, improve land, and re-cultivate food.

A group of dirty youths broke in from the door. After seeing the situation in front of them, they first breathed a sigh of relief, then moved forward a little nervously, and bowed their heads to Yang Ming.

They are the labor force, some of them came back from several factories that are still in operation, and some of them are doing resource recycling in the city. ——Senior scavenger.

When these workers saw Yang Ming, they were obviously at a loss.

Yang Ming didn't say much, just said: "Choose a few prestigious people among the young and strong, and go to the hotel where I live to wait for me. Remember, this is the empire, don't engage in popular elections, let's recommend it verbally." Just fine."

"Okay, we understand! We'll pay attention to the rules!"

"Go."

Yang Ming patted the shoulder of the young man who was talking, and said slowly:

"This is already my territory. I will try my best to avoid disasters in the future. I will start a batch of construction projects later to give you decent jobs. My private fleet also needs private soldiers, but that is all for the future.

"You sort out the talents of various majors. What I mean is that anyone who is proficient in a technology can be counted as a talent."

"Okay, let's do it!"

The speaking Qing Zhuang's eye circles were a little red, and he lowered his head and sniffled, "You eat here, and we will contact the people we can contact."

"Go, pay attention to maintaining order, and don't engage in too large-scale gatherings."

"Oh, I understand."

The group of young people left in a hurry.

Yang Ming soon heard the roar of the engine of the old-fashioned suspension vehicle, they actually set up several high-power speakers, shouted "Assemble", and rushed to every corner of the city.

"Mr. Phantom," an old woman said warmly, "It's time to eat."

"Thank you," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I'll eat the food here. Some vehicles have already arrived outside, carrying supplies and food."

The crowd here suddenly became a little commotion.

"I hope you don't loot it. Everyone can go and get one. When you finish getting it, try to notify other people to get it. More supplies will come later."

Yang Ming said:

"I saw a few flags with my image printed on them in the corner, and I put them at the door to tell people that I am here, and everyone can come and see me at any time."

"Thank you, Mr. Ghost," said the old woman, "I know you are just and compassionate, but this situation cannot be changed by a few delicious meals. Let the children go."

"It will change," Yang Ming stared at the old man, "If you believe that I can drive away the swarm, please continue to believe that I will protect the people here."

Peterson suddenly shouted: "Let's move the food in! Move it by head!"

A group of teenagers moved after hearing the news and followed Peterson to the gate.

Seeing this, Yang Ming laughed.

This little guy is quite clever.

...

In the middle of the night, Yang Ming lay exhausted on the big bed in the top floor suite of the hotel.

He has no physical burden, but his mental state is very tired.

There was a sound of opening the door, 026 came in sideways, brought a stack of thick paper documents, saw Yang Ming and said with a smile:

"It's hard work, Mr. Boss!"

"Well," Yang Ming subconsciously glanced at 026's thigh.

No way, she wore a spectacle frame, a loose sweatshirt on her upper body, and directly used the bottom-disappearing technique on her lower body. Paired with her pure, mixed and mature charm, her lethality was astonishing.

"Have you met Hanxiang Hanyin?"

"No, I've been busy. There are a lot of complicated things here," 026 said. "I'm here to report on work. Boss, just lie down. I'll read it to you."

"Hard."

026 opened the shielding device, stood beside the bed in a pretty way, and said quickly:

"This afternoon, I cleared up more than 120 government officials. I also participated in the sniping of 12 people who tried to flee. All of them were accidents. The investigators have been dealt with by us. We all know the white ghost Jealous of evil like hatred, the relevant departments of the empire have not yet launched an attack.

"The three comprehensive supply ships you requested to purchase are expected to arrive at Saka in two days, and they will be filled with energy and various medical supplies.

"We have purchased 13 standard boats of food, which will arrive within a week.

"The problem at this stage is that the transit space port of Saka Star has been in disrepair for a long time, and the transit system has been paralyzed. The last insect disaster completely destroyed the satellite communication system. These repairs are simple and simple, but it takes time.

"The organic compound synthesis system you asked to purchase has been purchased, and it will take at least sixteen days from equipment transportation to installation..."

One piece of information came into Yang Ming's ears in an orderly manner.

Yang Ming was a little drowsy until he heard a slightly angry message.

"According to our investigation, after the infestation occurred, Viscount Saka tried to return to Saka to organize construction, but was rejected by local officials, and his freedom of travel was restricted."

026 words a meal:

"After that, the local government successively received donations from Viscount Godoy Saka. The biggest one was as high as 16 million imperial coins, which was the one you gave him. He should have sold the house.

"Lui has been taking care of the family and they will have no problems in their lives.

"In addition, the Viscount Saka once reported the corruption of Star Saka to the noble court, but in the end it was all ignored."

Yang Ming wondered, "Some of the stolen money here went to the Elder's House?"

"Yes, boss," 026 said, "I can only say that the death of the Great Elder is not wronged, it is all his downline's downline's downline's downline."

Yang Ming scolded a few words about the quintessence of the country.

026 smiled and said, "Let me tell you some happy news."

"What?"

"Miss Mimily is about to arrive on Saka, with a few ships of reasonably purchased supplies," 026 said with a smile, "She heard that there is a need for people to assassinate officials here, so she took the initiative to come and help."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's good for her to come and see the world."

026 continued: "In addition, His Majesty Edwin asked you, when will you have time? The alliance ceremony of the Luofeng Empire will be pushed forward as planned. Now the time is ripe, and the people of the four countries have reached a consensus. We are all waiting for this carnival.”

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Although there are many and complicated things here, there are not many people who need me to show up. I will just get a bionic robot to replace me later.

"But Princess Daphne will arrive here at dawn, I need to deal with her, wait for her to leave."

"Then I will reply that I am not sure about the time yet, will I leave in the near future?"

"Let's just reply like this," Yang Ming said with a smile, "This is a major event in Edwang's life, and I must rush over to watch the ceremony."

026 blinked: "Isn't His Majesty Edwan also working for you?"

"That's different," Yang Ming said, "I have a cooperative relationship with Edwang, a comrade-in-arms, and a comrade, not a vassal of the other party."

"Well, His Majesty Edwan also said the same thing, I heard it when I monitored them."

Yang Ming: ...

Well done.

026 Quietly leave after reporting work;

Yang Ming, who had fallen asleep a few minutes earlier, lay on the bed with the word 'too' stretched out, snoring lightly from the tip of his nose.

Early the next morning, Yang Ming was woken up by Han Yin and Han Xiang's crazy knocking on the door.

Her Royal Highness Daphne's ship has already landed on the surface of Saka, and a formation of small airships is rushing towards this side. It's fine if Earl Yang Ming doesn't take the initiative to pick it up, but he's still sleeping here.

Hanyin and Hanxiang hurriedly helped Yang Ming put on the dress and washed his face.

Yang Ming, who was yawning all over the place, went outside the hotel gate hungry. Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he still maintained the basic etiquette of aristocrats.

This is the first official meeting between the white ghost and His Royal Highness Daphne.

Saka Star also seems to be quite face-saving. It is rare to reveal the blue sky and white clouds, and a touch of golden star light spreads obliquely on the city, making the gray buildings a little more atmospheric.

——Actually, when Daphne's escort fleet entered the atmosphere, it broke through the dark clouds above the city. The dark clouds will cover here again soon, and there is a high probability that acid rain will fall.

Yang Ming stood there and took another nap.

"Boss! Her Royal Highness is coming!"

"Huh?" Yang Ming opened his eyes and saw that the small airship had landed in the large parking lot in front of the hotel.

Yang Ming was quite surprised that the airship's anti-gravity engine didn't make much noise.

The cabin door opened, and the two maids came out first, checked the safety of the gangway, and then stood quietly aside.

Daphne lowered her head and got out of the cabin door. She was wearing a plain white fluffy dress and a light red cloak. Her snow-white skin was very translucent under the sunlight. Her beautiful face also caught the eyes of several rows of doormen in the hotel. .

Daphne stood on the gangway and waited for a few seconds.

In this case, a noble gentleman should trot over, gracefully put his right hand behind his back, let his left hand forward, and help her down the metal ladder that is no more than five steps.

But Yang Ming stood there with a smile, his face full of innocence.

Daphne smiled and said, "My lord, shouldn't you come over and help me?"

Yang Ming said: "I can't take the job of your maid."

Two maids at the side hurried forward to help.

Daphne walked down the gangway slowly, every movement was so graceful and decent, and there was a natural sense of 'delicacy'.

She seemed to be the incarnation of an elf.

However, this elegance didn't last for a few seconds, and she was told by the maid that she had to wear a mask with an air purification system, and her beautiful face was also a little flushed.

If Yang Ming's guess is right...it's an allergy.

"Please, Your Royal Highness, I have prepared a sumptuous hotel breakfast for you," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The situation in Saka is quite dire, so please take care of the poor hospitality."

"Your Earl is joking, this is a gift from me."

Behind Daphne, two maids arrived in front of Yang Ming with trays.

There are only two sheets of paper in the tray.

Yang Ming wondered, "Love letter?"

Daphne was startled, subconsciously looked away, frowned and said: "You are too rude."

"Sorry, what's that?"

Daphne smiled and said: "One is a list. A transport fleet will arrive here later to deliver some military supplies. These military supplies are about to expire and will be sold to the public at a low price."

"Thank you, what about the other one?"

"The Governor's Appointment Letter has the official seal of the Imperial Ministry of Government Affairs on it, but the name is blank."

Daphne said softly:

"The situation of Saka is quite special. People's lives are difficult, and the post-disaster reconstruction work has been stagnant. There should be no differences between the lord and the chief executive.

"Don't worry, everything is a normal procedure, uncle Yinuo helped."

"Thank you," Yang Ming picked up the letter of appointment, thought for a while, waved to the side, and wrote a name on it.

Daphne smiled and said, "As I guessed, Viscount Godoy Saka."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "There is no one more suitable than him to be the administrator of this planet."

At this moment, he even felt that although the princess Daphne hid her scheming every step of the way, she was actually a pretty good person.

Whatever her purpose, she helped the people here.

"Come inside, I'll treat you to something good this morning."

Daphne frowned and said, "Did you want to fill my stomach with hotel breakfast?"

"Indeed," Yang Ming shrugged, "I just woke up, so I don't have time to prepare."

Just as he was talking, 026 suddenly stepped out, nodded to Yang Ming, and pointed to the sky.

Yang Ming turned his head to look at the sky.

The dark clouds were just about to close, but there was still a gap left.

He clearly saw that a sea urchin was entering the outer atmosphere, and a weak 'stroke halo' appeared when the outer protective cover rubbed against the atmosphere.

"Boss, Captain Catherine is here."

Daphne's smile froze for a moment.
