Chapter 47 Swamp

Swamp area

Wasteland Planet

In a relatively clean-looking two-story building, an old man was treating a seriously injured man with a therapeutic device.

The man wore a black mask that covered most of his face, revealing only his sharp jaw and tightly pursed lips.

The man sat on a chair with his back to the old man, his bronzed, muscular upper body completely exposed. His back was covered in deep wounds that reached the bone. Blood was dripping, and the ground was covered in the man's blood.

This scar carries supernatural power. If there is a treatment chamber, the wound will heal in just half a day.

But the old man only had one therapeutic device, which was a mid-level therapeutic device that was slightly better than a low-level therapeutic device, so it would take a lot of time to slowly heal the wound.

Interstellar healing devices are divided into low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, and more advanced and faster treatment chambers.

Low-level therapeutic devices are cheap and use only low-level energy stones as energy, so they have long been widely available in the interstellar space.

…

The Swamp is a chaotic, barren galaxy in the universe that belongs to neither the Empire nor the Federation.

In terms of area, the swamp is one of the largest in all galaxies, but neither the Empire nor the Federation has any intention of incorporating this star region into their territory.

The swamp was one of the earliest star fields developed during the Human Alliance period. However, due to the existence of many "drifting dark wormholes" in the universe near the swamp, the danger of people exploring the planet was greatly increased, and starships could be swallowed up in this universe if they were not careful.

Furthermore, despite immense expense, people discovered that no planet in the swamp, large or small, contained any significant usable resources, let alone energy stone veins. There were only about 800 planets in the star region that were barely suitable for human survival.

Why do we say that they are barely suitable for human survival? Because these planets are either extremely cold, extremely hot, or full of wind and sand. The environment is very harsh. Survival on these planets is constantly challenging the limits of human survival.

For these reasons, coupled with the fact that humans have developed more star fields that are more suitable for survival, this desolate and dangerous star field has gradually been abandoned by humans.

Many humans still live in this star region today. There are those without legal status in the interstellar empire or federation, those with nowhere to go but the swamps; there are also wanted fugitives, ruthless pirates; smugglers, assassins...

This star field has long evolved into a dark land, where the strong are kings and the fittest survive.

Because there are no resources and no government, the business in the swamp area now is gambling, sex, and power-for-money transactions.

The Wasteland Star is considered to be the planet with the best environment in the swamp. Although the temperature is hot, it still maintains around 30 degrees. In addition, it has abundant water resources. It can now be regarded as the main star of the swamp.

Gambling, sex, and power-for-money transactions have grown immensely on the Wasteland Star.

On the Desolate Planet, there's the incredibly luxurious Qingyuan Casino. Any human trafficker on the street can sell slaves and even provide proof of legal identity.

This is also the most unique mission receiving station in the interstellar world. As long as you can afford it, someone will do it for you no matter what the mission is...

In short, in the Swamp, as long as you have money and resources, there will naturally be someone here to help you fulfill all your desires and requests...

Therefore, what is more important here is your strength, whether it is money or your ability.

If you are rich, powerful and capable, you can live a good life in the swamp and enjoy the treatment of a superior person.

But if you were an ordinary person, your life would be extremely difficult. Without strength, you would only be bullied. Because there are no laws here, even if you die, no one will collect your body for you.

Just on the Wasteland Star, countless people die every year in fights over territory, uneven distribution of spoils, and so on. Among these people, there may be many innocent people implicated, but who cares?

Human life is like an ant in a swamp.

…

After a whole day of treatment, the man's injuries were barely healed, but scars were left on his back.

"Huh, A Yuan boy, your external injuries have barely healed, but your internal injuries still need a treatment chamber."

"It's nothing. I won't have any problems anytime soon. I'll be fine after resting for a while." The man stood up and put on the black clothes he had placed aside.

"That's fine. There are only a few treatment chambers on this Wasteland Planet. I've noticed that things have been going on outside lately. They must be the work of the Second Prince of the Empire. You should be more careful..."

"Okay, Mr. Ge, I'll be leaving first. Thank you very much this time." Thinking of the protagonist of this assassination mission - the empire's second prince Huo Qi Rex, the man's eyes darkened, and then he thanked the old man.

"Okay, go back and rest more, and don't move too much. Your injury must be healed, otherwise the injury will be worse..." Seeing that he was about to leave, the old man didn't say much, but only told the man to have a good rest.

"Well, bye."

The man agreed and then turned and walked out of the house. The house was located on a street that was crowded with people. After the man went downstairs, he disappeared in the crowd in just a moment...
