I Want to Retire!!! [Interstellar Infrastructure]

In the Space-Time Bureau, General Sheng Xia, who should have retired honorably, was unfortunately exiled after she impulsively "slandered" her superior before her departure.

Waking up...

Chapter 14 has started? It's already ended

Chapter 14 Has it started? It's over

After coming out of the cell where Lang Baxia was imprisoned, Shengxia glanced at the warden and the prison guards beside him. She could clearly see some sympathy for Lang Baxia in the prison guards' eyes.

Sympathy, why? Lang Baxia wasn't just a drug trafficker, but also a crucial downstream player in Dr. Scream's illegal operation. His operations even included child trafficking and organ smuggling. Judging by the number of thugs he employed, the scale of his business, and the fact that the region he controlled was one of the core economic zones of the Volk planet, his past crimes were undoubtedly numerous, even if he were to die.

But now, in the eyes of the prison guards, he is an honest man with bad luck, and he can even gain some sympathy.

What a horrible and distorted thing this is. In a social system, when beautiful qualities such as kindness, sincerity, and mutual assistance are generally abandoned or even despised by people, this society has already slid into the abyss of decline at an incredible speed amidst the nightly revelry.

Just like a huge ship, before it sank, everyone fantasized that they could become the survivor who could reach the other side safely. In fact, it was just an illusion after all. The average life expectancy of ordinary people on the planet Volk was only 32 years old.

When Shengxia walked into the cell where Lang Baxia's thugs were imprisoned with a sullen face, he asked the prison guard next to the warden to stay. The warden seemed a little confused, but still asked the prison guard to stay and he retreated alone.

Inside the cell, through a layer of single-layer glass that looked like the one used for watching animals, as soon as the warden left, the prison guard knelt down in front of Shengxia in fear, begging for mercy while kneeling, saying that he would never delay his work because of personal feelings, and requested Shengxia not to fire him and let him continue to keep the job.

Shengxia frowned uncomfortably and waved him to stand up. Seeing that he was still kneeling and motionless, she could only step forward and pull him up. Then she waited for him to calm down before asking him why he sympathized with Lang Baxia. Don't play tricks. She saw the sympathy in his eyes.

The prison guard was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and told Shengxia as if he was willing to bet his entire fortune that the assets in Lang Baxia's hands were connected to every link on the Volk planet from top to bottom. Even if he died, someone would soon appear to replace him. To be honest, Lang Baxia was at least fair and would occasionally act as a mediator.

More importantly, his younger brother is also Lang Basha's subordinate. He knows that his younger brother must die. In fact, every newly appointed planetary commander will do this to highlight his political achievements. He just feels that... his younger brother's luck is really not good because he still has a lovely child.

"I know that everything he has done, including what we are doing now, will definitely be judged, but not now. I'm sorry, I'm really... so sad."

The prison guard couldn't help sobbing as he spoke. Shengxia couldn't help but ask him what would happen if Lang Baxia's assets ceased to exist. However, the prison guard's first reaction was not that the world would become a better place because of this. Instead, he asked Shengxia, "How will we support ourselves and our families then?"

This is the reality. People have to be fed and survive first before they have the energy to consider other things. Shengxia calmed the prison guard's emotions, but at the same time suggested that she could let his brother go, but the prison guard needed to do something for her.

"Me?" The prison guard was very surprised. After being surprised, he remained silent for an unknown period of time. He took a deep breath and said that even if he would be completely swallowed by the wind and snow after his death, fine, he was willing to obey Shengxia's orders.

Shengxia nodded, and then asked the prison guard to stay in the cell while she went to meet Lang Baxia's men alone. The prison guard had originally suggested that it would be better not to meet them alone. After all, this group of people had reached the end of their rope, and the safety of a private meeting could not be guaranteed. If they wanted to interrogate them, they could arrange it.

"But if we interrogate them, we won't hear the truth." Shengxia refused him, but still asked the prison guards to calm the emotions of the people inside the moment the door was opened, and tell them to answer whatever they were asked, as it was hard to say whether they could survive.

After calming down, Shengxia dragged a folding chair into the cell, which could only be seen from the outside, but the inside looked like a fully enclosed solitary confinement room. In fact, Shengxia also considered the security issues mentioned by the prison guard. Bringing a folding chair can not only protect herself, but also allow her to freely play the role she wants.

After putting down the folding chair, Shengxia sat down with great momentum and looked around. Among these people, some were angry and some wanted to attack Shengxia but were still enduring.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Sheng Xia said provocatively, and sure enough, someone started cursing first: "You betrayed us."

"Shameless." "You lied to us." "You will not end up well."

"Oh?" Shengxia pointed at the man who said that she would not have a good ending. Seeing that he looked very young, not even 20 years old, she deliberately asked him why he thought she would not have a good ending.

Unexpectedly, the other party directly said: "You are a woman, and a hypocritical politician. You deceived us and angered Dr. Scream. You will definitely die more miserably than me."

Shengxia raised her eyebrows. There were so many complaints that she didn't know how to fight back. However, she still asked the boy why he chose to join Langbaxia. She had read the boy's information. Didn't he want to be a police officer?

"I didn't have the money for bribes, and later I realized it would be better for me to stay in the boss's organization."

"Then have you ever considered that if Lang Basha clashes with other members of the organization, you will soon die in a gunfight?"

"It doesn't matter. This is our life. At least my family will get a good funeral fund after I die."

This answer made Shengxia silent. She asked the other people in the room, and their answers were similar. The most ambitious one just wanted to take away one of Lang Baxia's assets.

Perhaps it was because a dying man's words were kind, or perhaps it was because Shengxia's attitude was still quite gentle, and everyone gathered together and talked about the current situation of the Volk planet.

As for the independence army, these people's families do not support joining because they will die faster than in a violent organization. They also don't care what the beliefs of the independence army are. Only money is real.

As for the people they killed, they might die in the same way at the hands of others tomorrow, so it doesn't matter, just consider it as atonement.

After all, they were born on the planet Volk, and just to survive they needed to use all their strength.

Back to Lang Basha, Lang Basha's men generally believed that he was a true hero who had walked out of the slums. No matter what, he was generous to children, the disabled and their families. As for those who died in his hands, it was probably just bad luck.

However, planetary commanders like Shengxia originally lived in a completely different world from them, so how could they really understand their situation? They were just talking.

"You shouldn't have lied to Luang Basha. If you just wanted to send money to the Independence Army, we could have had better options."

At this moment, Shengxia suddenly realized that barbaric ideas had already taken root on the planet Volk, and it would be a huge project to reverse it.

Fortunately, Shengxia had seen better and greater social forms when she accompanied the host on missions in the past Space-Time Bureau. Compared with those great men covered in blood and mud, at least she is now the nominal highest power holder on this planet.

"I can spare you from execution, but you still need to atone for your past sins. How about this? Do you agree?"

Ten minutes later, Shengxia came out of the cell and asked the warden to arrange opportunities for these prisoners to work outside, the sooner the better. In addition, they should be arranged to go to the chaotic area as much as possible, that is, the area where the independence army and the federal security forces often clash. If anything happens afterwards, the debt will be settled as long as the person dies.

"You, go and see them off for the last time." Shengxia specifically pointed at the prison guard next to the warden. The prison guard was stunned for a moment but quickly figured out that escaping from the chaos zone was probably the only way the planet commander could think of to let his brother go, so he could only accept it with great trepidation.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Shengxia turned around and left decisively. It was time for her to deal with her "big trouble".

An hour and a half later,

Shengxia's convoy, which was supposed to be on its way to inspect other prisons, was hit by a row of mortars that fell from the sky while passing through the central street of Volk Planet. The convoy and the surrounding commercial districts were instantly thrown into chaos. At that time, Dr. Scream appeared at the top of the Sky Building on the central street with a mortar launcher, shouting that he would become the Terminator of the new planetary commander.

"You see, killing can be easy. My revenge on the Federation will never stop here."

Dr. Scream said this while arrogantly raising his middle finger at the camera of his live broadcast. However, before he could finish laughing crazily, someone in his live broadcast room was frantically posting "The fleet is all driverless". At the same time, various news media also quickly began to report that although there was chaos in this terrorist attack, there were no casualties for the first time.

The staff in the government hall and the special police of the federal security team cooperated with each other to quickly control the scene, divert the crowd, and minimize the adverse effects of the attack.

"Honestly speaking, it's the first time I've seen so many government office staff taking to the streets as volunteers to divert the crowds. It's really hard to imagine."

"We can feel that some unknown changes are taking place on the entire planet Volk."

"Of course, seeing the sour faces of the staff at the government hall, ha, I still find it quite strange. This is Qiqi, reporting the first-hand news to you online."

Dr. Scream was in disbelief when he saw that the media had turned his carefully planned attack into a farce. He began to curse uncontrollably, but the next second his live broadcast camera was shattered by a sniper rifle, and then countless drones descended on his side.

At this moment, Sheng Xia appeared in front of Dr. Scream, carrying a sniper rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. She said leisurely as if asking about the weather, "Dr. Scream, I heard you want to kill me. Let me introduce myself. I am the new planetary commander, Sheng Xia."

Dr. Scream's brain froze for a moment.

She... came so quickly?!
