Chapter 69: Meeting in Icefield City! (I)
A loud rumbling sound came from behind. Su You stopped moving forward and squatted on the spot, using the thick tree trunk to hide her body.
A snow-covered marching vehicle loaded with soldiers slowly moved forward and stopped near the door. All the people on board got off and formed three teams.
0977 The synchronized radio transmission reached her ears.
"Why do we have to check every time we come back from an outing? Are there still interstellar wanderers on our planet?"
"Exactly. The pollution in the south is so high that it goes berserk almost as soon as we land. I really don't understand why I have to show my ID and do a DNA check every time."
Genetic verification? Is it that strict? Su You frowned. If she did that, she wouldn't be able to pass the inspection at the city gate.
"77, check if there are any loopholes?"
"I haven't found anything yet. This entry check is even stricter than the Imperial Military Academy's. How strange, Yuzu."
The weirder it is, the more problematic it is.
Then she had to enter this city.
After leaving a strawberry pattern nearby that only Wen Yangjia could understand, Su You took Guoguo out again and coaxed her, telling her that she might be busy later and asked Guoguo to rest assured.
She could only climb over the wall late at night. Fortunately, she could fly in her beast form.
…………
In the middle of the night, when the soldiers guarding the city wall were changing shifts, the laser protection net on the wall suddenly made a crackling sound.
"What's going on? Go check it out."
A small group of soldiers opened the city gate and illuminated the inside and outside as bright as day. In the end, they only found the body of a small dead bird on the ground inside the city gate.
"Report, a black bird hit the protective net and died."
"Team up!"
The lights dimmed, and Su You collapsed to the ground in a street corner one kilometer away from the city gate, covering his calf with cold sweat.
It turns out that Guoguo’s predictions were so accurate!
Fortunately, she had exchanged a simulated small black sparrow with 77 in advance. Otherwise, with the vigilance of the gatekeepers, if they couldn't find the cause of the abnormality, she would be in danger if they searched the city.
"Yuzu, rest for ten minutes. The potion will take effect quickly. Don't move again until the bleeding stops."
"Hiss..." Su You couldn't help but take a deep breath. On the other side of the communicator, Wen Yanjia, who should have been sleeping soundly, woke up.
"Injured?"
"Well, my calf was injured by the laser protection net at the city gate, but I've taken a recovery potion and it will be healed soon."
After Su You finished her explanation, she didn't hear Wen Yangjia's reply. She sat quietly for ten minutes, waiting for the wound to stop bleeding before applying the medicine to promote healing.
The wound healed by dawn. Technology really benefits mankind. But it was too painful and a little unbearable.
"The laser net at this city gate cannot identify small creatures and automatically avoids them. It should be a protective system that has been eliminated." Su You transformed into a beast and moved slowly along the wall while reviewing the situation in his mind.
"The Empire's current defense network is connected to the main planet's defense system, constantly monitoring the security of each planet. But this place is obviously not among them."
Either it is too backward and unaware, or this planet may be extremely far away from the main star.
Or maybe an underground organization is hiding here, and of course they won't use a unified protective network.
"Don't worry, Yuzu. I'll encrypt your communications. Once the AI connects to the star network, you'll be able to call for reinforcements."
Su You was still worried, fearing that there was not even a star network here.
"77, locate the slum area."
She had to find an identity and try her luck in the slums to see if she could find an opportunity to exploit a loophole.
Hiding in the shadows against the wall, Su You walked and stopped, from an area full of tall buildings to an area full of low houses. Relying on her small stature, she passed through one dilapidated house after another.
Most of the houses are low and have very thin walls. In this extremely cold northern gathering area, the temperature inside the houses is bound to be low.
Is it habitable? Will she really not freeze to death? This is even more shabby than her house on Sandy Planet.
Passing by a shelter built with scrap metal, Su You heard a wailing sound.
"My child won't die like this! He's only fifteen, he's still young!"
"Who caused the conflict between him and the city lord's subordinates? He's dead, so throw him out now!"
There were quarrels, screams and pleading sounds mixed together in the house. Su You judged that it was a family. The mother was trying her best to save her dying child, while the father disliked the danger brought by the noisy and aristocratic children. The remaining children were beaten by the father to vent his anger.
The door opened, and the ragged body of a young boy was thrown in front of Su You.
"Yuzu! He was abandoned by his family before he died? It's so cold, are they trying to freeze him to death?"
Su You couldn't bear it, so she stuffed the person into the system space.
It would also be safer for her to have someone who is familiar with the terrain with her.
"Yuzu! There's an empty house a hundred meters ahead."
Finally, I found a place to stay. The empty houses in the slums were either occupied by people who had gone out to seek survival, or...
Sighing, Su You took out the simplest bed from her space storage device, but it still didn't fit in here. If it caused any trouble, she would be shooting herself in the foot.
Forget it, I’d rather not use it.
She removed the door panel behind her and placed it on the ground, using the thermostat she had exchanged at 77 to heat the air around her. She took a short nap until dawn.
Only when the light shone into the house did Su You see the furnishings inside clearly.
After walking around a bit, she was basically certain that no one would come back to this house in the short term.
She had removed the last piece of door panel to use as a bed. Half of the roof was violently lifted off. There was a huge deep pit in the only room, and an incomplete skeleton was lying in the pit.
Su You＆0977: ...I'm offended, I'm offended.
After burying the homeowner, Su You exchanged potions and fed them to the boy she rescued at night.
Ten minutes later, Jian Annuan opened her eyes in warmth.
So warm...
Turning my head, I found a thin middle-aged man with a thick beard standing next to me.
Only then did Jian Anuan realize that he had been rescued.
"Don't talk. Your vocal cords have been severed. It will take 30 minutes for the potion to take effect."
Jian Anuan nodded, quickly stood up, looked around, picked up the tattered broom nimbly, and began to clean the house.
"Yuzu, he's kind of pathetic."
Su You could understand the boy's mentality and knew that not letting him work would make him even more uneasy, so she did not stop him.
Thirty minutes later, Jian Anuan was able to speak and bowed solemnly to Su You.
"Thank you for saving me."
Otherwise, in the freezing cold of the night, he would have already become a frozen corpse.
"My name is Muyou, and I'm a wandering mecha pilot."
"Tell me about this city."
Su You's tone was somewhat forceful, and with the voice changer provided by the system, she now appeared as a mecha master with a slightly stronger aura and a cold personality.
At the same time, she also turned on the communicator.
"This is Bingyin City. This planet is called Yinxing. I've been in this city since I was born. The identities in the city are divided by class. My father is a D-class warrior, and I'm C-class. My beast form is bulky and has weak attack power, so my family can't leave the slums."
This system of dividing social classes based on warrior rank was also abolished by the empire long ago.
This place is very backward.
"The city lord is Qin Xiang, a 2S-level warrior with extraordinary combat power. He has three sons and one daughter. His daughter, Qin Ruoruo, is the most talented, an S. As for his other three sons, two are S and one is an A."
The 2S warrior detected by 77 turned out to be the city lord here.
Just as Jian Anuan was about to continue speaking, Su You raised her hand and called for a stop.
There was movement on the communicator.
"Ayou, I'm here."
It's clearly not her name, and the tone is clearly wrong.
Why did her heart beat so fast?
