Chapter 426: Misjudging the Target
Before Mingxiao could speak in response to Lingjiu's question, Anuo said, "Yes, we want to go up."
Before she could explain why she was going up, Lingjiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you up."
He didn't even ask why; if Anuo said she wanted to go up, he would just take her up.
Since he didn't ask, it saved Anno from saying anything more. It was best not to explain. Regardless of whether they wanted to stay a little longer or go back immediately, they should first make contact with the Zerg.
After the meal, Zero Nine led them to the central tower, not by aircraft, but by land vehicle, which Anno hadn't seen in a long time.
Seeing these four-wheeled vehicles driving on the ground, Anno couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
It's been almost six years since she came into this world; time really flies.
Once in the car, Anno and Sitar sat in the back seat, watching the city unfold through the window.
Along the way, she saw many people fighting and even robbing in the streets, and some people were using weapons. Occasionally, people in neat uniforms would come to intervene, but most of the time no one intervened. The best protection for people was their own fighting ability.
Lingjiu glanced at her through the rearview mirror of the car in front and said, "Vara Star is basically unsafe. It's alright during the day, but you can't go out at night because there are robberies and killings everywhere."
Anno asked, "Is no one in charge?"
Ling Jiu said, "There are some, but they are all spontaneous organizations. There are countless organizations in Midu, and none of them submit to anyone else. It's better to rely on yourself than to seek their protection."
Upon hearing this, Anuo immediately understood what kind of city it was.
Lingjiu added, "Midu is alright. As long as you don't come into contact with those gangsters and thugs, you can still live a normal life."
Anno saw a man being kicked to the ground by several men outside, who then snatched his backpack. She murmured, "Is a normal life really possible?"
Sitar joined her, watching the scene outside.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man got up from the ground, pulled out a gun from behind his back, and fired a shot at each of the men who had robbed him. He didn't miss a single one, and he didn't waste a single shot.
He picked up the gun from his back, twirled it in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips, and nonchalantly slung his bag over his shoulder and walked away.
At this moment, Mingxiao was also peering out the window, watching this scene.
Zero Nine turned his head and saw three Zerg looking at the scene in disbelief.
Sitar said expressionlessly, "They counter-killed them."
Anuo and Mingxiao said in unison, "That's amazing."
Anno was still marveling at the situation when the next second took a turn for the better. The man looked thin, but he was surprisingly decisive and had excellent marksmanship. With a few shots, he took down all the people who had bullied him.
As the vehicle continued forward, Anno and his companions saw a little girl who looked to be only about ten years old being blocked by two tall men who wanted the necklace around her neck.
The girl looked up at them with a sweet smile, but the next second her smile vanished, replaced by a cold glint in her eyes, as she snapped the hands of the two tall men.
The two men's agonizing screams could still be heard long after Anuo and his car had driven away.
Mingxiao laughed and said, "It seems we were wrong. Those who form cliques are the real 'weaklings,' shameful weaklings."
Looking at Anno's silent expression, Lingjiu smiled and said, "The Lyca have many races, most of which are very strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought with other star systems for years. The star system that went to war with them was basically destroyed by them, and their home star system was swallowed up by other star systems. The remaining people are scattered all over the universe. However, the Lyca have also suffered heavy losses."
Anno said, "At least they have protected their star system. Although they cannot communicate with the outside world, there is a saying: 'Where there's life, there's hope.'"
Sital: "Well said, this is the first time I've heard something like that."
Mingxiao: "Well said, this is the first time I've heard something like that."
Lingjiu glanced back at her, indicating that it was also the first time she had heard of it.
The Zerg have no green hills or firewood, not even normal plants; they are all minerals and energy creatures.
Anno coughed and said, "An Earth proverb."
Upon hearing her mention Earth, Mingxiao and Sitar's expressions immediately soured.
This planet caused Anno a lot of suffering, and Mingxiao and the others didn't have a good look on their faces when they heard about it.
Seeing the sudden change in their expressions, Ling Jiu guessed what was going on.
Anno told him on the rooftop last night that she had experienced something similar with him in the past.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
The vehicle wound its way through the city, encountering several Vara people who wanted to rob them. When Zero Nine pulled out an energy gun from his seat, the men raised their hands and backed away.
Two groups of people opened fire directly at his car, ordering him to stop. Without hesitation, Ling Jiu rolled down the window, leaned out, and fired at them. In just a few seconds, he had taken care of them without even blinking.
