Chapter 10: Fooling, and then Fooling~
After discussing the relevant matters of joining the Independence Army with Lao Ma without any danger, Shengxia came out to discuss with Lang Baxia about letting Xizi and other children as well as some disabled people and thugs she had named join the Independence Army.
"Oh, I see. You want to play the long game and catch the big fish, right?"
Shengxia didn't even need to make excuses for her behavior, Lang Baxia gave her a thumbs up with a look of understanding. Shengxia asked Lang Baxia if she wanted to get a big bargain.
"What's the bargain?"
"After I join the Independence Army, its resources will eventually be taken back by the planetary commander. So, why don't you take over some of them before the cold season arrives?"
"That's great! Oh, you, you are so kind." Hearing that he could take advantage of her for free, Lang Baxia was immediately excited. However, Shengxia also reminded him that the fewer people who knew about this, the better. He should not tell others when he got back in a hurry, otherwise he would not blame her for turning her back on him.
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say when the time comes. I won't give you any extra worry."
"Okay, then let's keep this to ourselves." "Let's keep this to ourselves."
"Okay, then I'll let you know later to join the Independence Army."
"Okay, I'll join the independent...eh?"
"Hey, what? If you don't join the Independence Army, how are you going to get the resources? You have to count the number of people. The more people who join, the more resources you'll get. But here's what I'm thinking: just have everyone in your faction join the Independence Army, and don't tell anyone else."
Lang Baxia: ...Something seems to be wrong?
“No, you don’t want to raid.”
"When the time comes, you can just take the resources and run. Since you're not on the raid list, what are you worried about?"
"Oh, oh, oh, you're really wise. Divide the team into two groups, and I'll be responsible for the final cleanup. Got it."
Shengxia also nodded and gave Langbaxia a thumbs up. Of course, once you join the Independence Army, don't even think about running away.
At the same time, Lao Ma's companions watched as Lang Baxia, who was suspected to be the boss of the District 7 □□, suddenly gave Shengxia a thumbs up, and said frankly that this Fuzi (Shengxia) might not be trustworthy, and that her face was unfamiliar, but her skills were very good, and most importantly, she looked good with the □□ members, so they had to be on guard.
"She is indeed very strange." Lao Ma nodded subconsciously. Not only is she good at martial arts, but her eyes are so bright, like an active volcano with huge energy just waiting to erupt. It is really worrying.
The people on the planet Volker are either upper-class people who are out of touch with the world. Looking at them is like looking at dirty dogs and cats in a garbage dump. It is surprising to occasionally meet one or two people with a sympathetic look. Most of them are full of disdain and contempt; the rest are either full of greed and stupidity in their eyes, or have been tortured by life for a long time and have lost their luster, living one day at a time.
Thinking back, the last time I saw such bright eyes that were eager, full of ideals, and a bit high-spirited and arrogant... Lao Ma lowered his head unconsciously and shook his head sadly. Such a person eventually died under the guns of the encirclement and suppression. After all, it was a nightmare he didn't want to recall. Fortunately, the fire was still there, and there was still hope.
"Anyway, since she's so determined to join us, let's just let her join first and see." "That's right, she's the only one following us anyway."
After hearing what his partner said, Lao Ma couldn't help but look thoughtful. A single person came alone to ask to see the leader of their independence army. Either she was an excellent partner to cooperate with, or... she was already prepared to assassinate the leader of the independence army alone. There were really too many questions about her.
"What are you thinking about?" Shengxia had returned to Lao Ma at this time and said frankly that all the follow-up arrangements had been made and they could leave now.
At this time, Lao Ma glanced at Shengxia, and then at Langbaxia and the others who had already left, and mentioned meaningfully that Langbaxia was not easy to deal with, not to mention that if one wanted to entrust someone to take care of him, it would be a blessing if he didn't die.
"You know what's the best bait for a particularly greedy person?"
"What is it?"
“Resources that can be obtained for free.”
"Are you planning to take our independence army's resources?"
"Old He." Old Ma stopped his companion and was about to say that Sheng Xia wasn't that kind of person, but unexpectedly, Sheng Xia nodded decisively: "That's right, I lied to him and said that after I joined you, I would let him get your resources. He was very happy and gave me a thumbs up."
Lao Ma: ...
Lao Ma’s companions: …
After an unknown amount of time, Lao Ma's companions could not help but sigh deeply and asked Sheng Xia if she had ever told the truth. Sheng Xia replied bluntly, "I have always told the truth."
"Oh, so you were telling the truth when you said you were the planet commander?" "The truth." "Tsk, what a liar."
midsummer:……
They secretly traveled from the main city of Volk Planet to the border town. Shengxia sneezed unconsciously as the temperature dropped. Seeing this, Lao Ma threw his cloak to her and also intentionally or unintentionally introduced the situation in recent years:
The temperature in the main city area is kept at a comfortable 17 or 18 degrees Celsius due to the density of buildings and underground heating. The further you go outside, the colder it gets.
"How do you survive the cold winter?" When it's coldest on Volk, the temperature can reach minus 100 to 200 degrees Celsius, not to mention the hurricanes that occasionally blow through the border towns, freezing everything into an immortal ice sculpture in an instant.
Old Ma ignored Shengxia's words and asked her, "You don't look like you grew up on Planet Volk. How did you develop your skills?"
"The past is not worth mentioning, but my future is still to be determined on Planet Volker. If this planet wants me to retire peacefully, it cannot be in the current chaotic state."
"How old are you? You're already thinking about retirement." The companions around Lao Ma felt both amused and unbelievable. Shengxia looked very young, but how could her mentality be so old?
Shengxia waved her hand: "You don't understand." Damn boss, she wanted to greet him every day.
"But from what you said, you mean you want to rectify the current chaotic situation on Planet Volker?" Compared to his companions who thought Shengxia was just boasting without knowing the immensity of the world, Lao Ma's expression was serious instead.
Shengxia noticed the change in Lao Ma's attitude and turned to look at him seriously. "That's why I came to you. You are an army that has always insisted on independence and tried to awaken the people's consciousness of resistance. You are incompatible with the current chaotic situation. You may be the hope to solve the current problems of this crime capital."
Lao Ma: ...
He suddenly turned the steering wheel, and his companions noticed that Lao Ma was going to take Shengxia directly to the base of the Independence Army, but they had just agreed to put Shengxia in the corresponding inspection area.
It was obvious that Lao Ma was a little too much. His companions couldn't help but reached out and pushed him, but Lao Ma didn't even turn his head. Instead, he increased the speed of the car.
For a moment, the whole car fell into an eerie silence.
Six hours later, it was already late at night. The cold wind kept howling at the entrance of a broken cave. Shengxia even thought that this old truck would not be able to drive to the foot of the mountain and would slip. But Lao Ma was obviously very experienced. He opened the door and went down to change the tire. Shengxia was also called to help with the heat source in his hand.
Looking at the vast expanse of white snow and wind before him, Shengxia once again realized that for the people of this land, the severe cold was obviously a more serious problem than any other and would directly threaten their survival.
"This is the heat source that the old Duke provided us last year. They provided us with heating equipment, and in exchange we had to have people help out with the work."
Back in the car, Lao He couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere in the car and took the initiative to bring up the topic. Sheng Xia also turned around curiously and asked, "Do you get paid for working?"
"Of course not. We all work in illegal factories, but we still have basic living security. To be honest, without their help, we wouldn't be able to survive."
Shengxia: ... The population export faction contacted the independence army and even secretly supported the independence army. She could still understand the reason, but she didn't know the depth of the support and whether the Federation was helping. In any case, the planet Volker was still under the jurisdiction of the Federation.
As for the reason why the situation became so chaotic, Shengxia didn't believe that there was no infiltration from other star field forces. However, for her now, "cleaning up the house before inviting guests" was obviously more important.
When they entered the base of the Independence Army, Shengxia did not expect that the leader of the Independence Army had already been waiting there with his men. The grandeur of the ceremony was beyond Shengxia's expectation.
"I heard you really wanted to meet me, and Lao Ma also said you are a rare warrior with both courage and wisdom. Hello, my name is An Yuan, and I am the leader of the Independence Army."
The girl who appeared before Shengxia was a little younger than her. However, the firmness and determination in her eyes showed that she was a mature warrior.
At this moment, she seemed to have just taken a bath, with her long hair casually spread out, standing out from the crowd of people who came to greet her.
"How old are you?" Shengxia couldn't help but ask. Unexpectedly, Anyuan laughed and said, "Why, are you surprised that the leader of the revolutionary army is just a girl who looks very young?"
"How come?"
"I'm twenty-four."
He was actually older than Shengxia's age as reported in her profile, but his physique... "You seem a little malnourished." "Being alive is good enough. You seem to be pursuing more luxurious things."
"No, it's not a luxury at all." Sheng Xia's words were tinged with anger, which An Yuan found unbelievable. However, An Yuan continued, "Then I hope that after you join us, our soldiers will no longer have to worry about survival supplies."
An Yuan smiled calmly, with two cute dimples on the corners of her mouth. Seeing her smile always made others smile unconsciously. Combined with the warm orange light in the cave, even though the cold wind was howling outside, there was always a sense of hope.
“People who meet me for the first time always like to stare at my appearance, and when they come to their senses, they realize they have missed a lot.”
Noticing that Shengxia's gaze remained on her face for a while, An Yuan spoke calmly and without arrogance. She then mentioned that due to Shengxia's previous actions in the government hall, in order to prevent the federal government and the Walker Police Department from jointly encircling them in advance, they must launch an attack on the nearby prison facilities in the near future.
"Prison?" "Yes, thankfully, last year's planetary commander ordered an increase in the prison budget upon taking office. The heaters the prison purchased this year should be enough to sustain us for a while."
"Well." Just as An Yuan turned around and invited Sheng Xia to go to the conference table, Sheng Xia suddenly said, "How about we attack the heater manufacturing factory owned by Dr. Scream and Black Madman, and then announce to the public that Bazu's death was not your fault, and put the blame on the new planetary commander?"
"A heater manufacturing plant? Are you crazy? The security there is so tight that no ordinary person can break in."
Before the third person beside An Yuan could even shout, Sheng Xia replied seriously and firmly, "I can do it."
An Yuan: ... This girl in front of me, who is as young as her but very unruly, is trying to use various forces on the planet Volk to muddy the waters. Why?
