Chapter 89
058 Sitting in his house, looking at the increasingly bright sky outside, he felt a little anxious.
"It's almost dawn, and I haven't thought of an excuse yet." He scratched his hair hard and said in a broken tone.
What was 058 worried about? What else could he be worried about? It was just the mission assigned by that mysterious person.
The usual arrangement was to move the supplies at dawn the day after the Falling Star Day. However, the mysterious person had told him that he had to delay the 49's move until the morning, meaning he couldn't set out in the early morning.
Putting aside the fact that with his status, he couldn't possibly change the time it took to transport supplies. The supply point wasn't far from Area 49. What if other Zerg discovered him while he was delaying and something was missing? 058 couldn't bear his boss's wrath.
Where there are people, there are classes and oppression. In the interstellar era, this statement can be applied by replacing "people" with any kind of "intelligent life." Although the unicorns are manufactured genetic products, they are also intelligent beings.
On Tianyun Star, a place that is like an isolated island in the sea, where entry is allowed but exit is not, and it is difficult to contact the outside world, even the one-horned people used as tools by the Ikar civilization have divided the "one-horned people" into different levels.
Needless to say, the status of 058 is not the lowest, but it is not much better.
When machines cannot be used, the unicorns who are responsible for the hard work of moving and lifting are at the bottom of the hierarchy. The only ones who can be directly ordered by 058 are the patrol members in District 49 and some Zergs who obey the orders of the District Chief of District 49.
"Never mind. If all else fails, just give them drugs." 058 opened the bedside drawer, picked up a bottle, and looked at the gray powder in the bottle with a gloomy expression on his face.
Not many medicines could be brought to Tianyun Star, and some special medicines could only be prepared using the most primitive methods. For example, the medicine in the bottle in his hand was extracted from a plant on Tianyun Star using the most primitive method.
This powder has been purified twice, and even if he eats it himself, he will have unbearable stomachache... The only problem now is how to make the patrol team and the Zerg responsible for transportation eat it, and if his actions are discovered, there will be no other way waiting for him except destruction.
The price of the unicorn is not low, but it is not a big deal for a level 4 civilization. Otherwise, the Ikar civilization would not have thrown the unicorn on the remote Tianyun Star to serve as a jailer.
It was still dark outside, and this was the last chance to change one's mind and stop.
058 was in a dilemma while holding the medicine bottle. When the time came to decide, he realized that he was not as decisive as he thought.
Should he take a gamble or continue living his current life? Choosing the former, 058 didn't know what he would face, but it wouldn't be a stable future. Choosing the latter was easier, but he would just follow the fate of the unicorns on Tianyun Star and see a dull future ahead.
...just like when it came out of the incubator.
058 From the moment he opened his eyes and saw countless "brothers and sisters" who were soaking in the same culture tank as him, he knew that he was different from them, even though he knew his fate from birth - to be sold by the mother civilization to other civilizations as a tool.
He wanted freedom, freedom from being controlled, and wanted to be a free 'person' rather than a tool.
Even though he was assigned to Tianyun Star, he did not forget his cherished wish... To a certain extent, Tianyun Star is actually "free", except that he cannot leave here.
One year, two years... ten years, twenty years... In the blink of an eye, I have lived on Tianyun Star for decades. My desire for "freedom" has not been eroded by the years, but has become more and more urgent.
Unfortunately, with his identity, after arriving at Tianyun Star, he would be like the Zerg trapped on Tianyun Star and would never have the chance to leave.
Who would have thought that just when he was about to lose hope, he would encounter a mysterious person who had infiltrated Tianyun Star and remained undetected? 058 immediately realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come. If the person could infiltrate without alerting anyone, then he must be able to leave as well.
058 didn't know what the mysterious man did, nor did he know his true identity. But he had a vague suspicion that there was nothing on Tianyun Star worth the effort of infiltrating. The only thing of value was the Zerg kept captive there.
If the mysterious man wanted to capture these Zerg and take them away secretly, he wouldn't need to do so much with his abilities.
...After eliminating all possible options, the one remaining is the most likely truth, that the mysterious man himself is related to the Zerg...it is even very likely that he himself is a Zerg.
The once-glorious civilization of the Tianjia Zerg remains undeniable even in this era. Legend has it that the Tianjia civilization once teetered on the threshold of a Level 7 civilization. After its destruction, no other civilization in the galaxy has ever reached its heights.
On one side is the Ikal civilization, from which there is no hope of leaving no matter how loyal he is, and on the other side is an outsider who is obviously not simple.
Do you still need to think about how to choose?
058 loosened his grip on the bottle and decided to give it a try.
He didn't want to live like this, doing the same thing day after day, and when he thought about having to live like this for hundreds of years, he felt that it would be better for him to die now.
Of course, he still wants to live if he can.
Besides, you won’t necessarily die if you do it.
As long as everything is arranged properly, no one will suspect you.
Those Zergs are very stupid. Even if there are a few smart ones who realize something is wrong, I don't think they would dare to question themselves as "unicorns".
…
Soon, it was daybreak outside.
The first rays of morning sun fell from the sky. In a corner of the central trading area in Area 49, two teams of female insects were ready to go. They were wearing the same gray uniform and were obviously members of the patrol team in Area 49.
Next to them were some female insects who were not wearing uniform. They were called over to help.
Not far away, 058 was carrying two metal suitcases about one meter high and walking towards the patrol team.
The Zerg in Area 49 all know that the trading area opens at 10 a.m., so at this time, which is only 5:30 in the morning, there will be no irrelevant Zerg appearing.
058 walked over to them, unpacking the high-energy supplements from his suitcase and distributing them one by one. The amount of supplies they would be required to carry would be substantial. To keep a horse running, you need to feed it grass. Replenishing the energy in the body cells of a Zerg will significantly increase its abilities.
The energy required by the Zerg's body can only be supplemented with ordinary food to maintain the level of not starving to death, which can effectively prevent the probability of "things that should not happen"
——If they were not needed to act as porters, they would not be given even the lowest-level energy supplements.
It was not the first time for the female insects present to be responsible for transporting supplies after the Falling Star Day. After taking the potion from 058, they drank it without much hesitation.
Soon after, the female insects, having taken their medicine, set off.
058 followed them, calculating in his mind the time it would take for the medicine to take effect.
The other side.
Not long after 058 left Area 49 with dozens of female insects, a hovercraft fell from the sky and landed outside the house where the unicorn people in Area 49 lived.
With such a big commotion, it was certainly possible that the other unicorns did not notice it.
The surveillance set up by the one-horned man worked at this moment. The image of the hovercraft and the appearance of the person getting off the car were transmitted to the terminal of the one-horned man, the mayor of District 49.
The car door opened and a young man in casual clothes walked out of the car.
She had neat short black hair with a few strands falling on her forehead, and smoky grey eyes behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Behind this unfamiliar face in the eyes of others was Qi Heng, who had left the Dead Egg Pit after settling the injured Zerg in the mine accident and eliminating their worries.
Before he sets out to rectify and clear up the problems in District 49, the first thing he has to do is to "solve" the one-horned man who will become an obstacle to him in the future.
It sounds like Qi Heng wants to eliminate these one-horned people, but that is not the case.
For him, these one-horned people can still be used. They have been in District 49 for many years. Rashly getting rid of them will only cause turmoil in District 49 and will be detrimental to subsequent reforms.
He only needs a suitable identity to make these unicorns obedient and obedient.
Inside a house.
The one-horned man who serves as the mayor of District 49 has the number 49-01 on his chest. As the mayor, his number will not change.
When 49-01 was awakened by the alarm from the surveillance camera, he almost fell off the bed. You know, the surveillance camera had been set up for such a long time and had never been sounded before.
49-01 ran to the surveillance screen to see the scene outside clearly. His expression changed when he saw the hovercraft that shouldn't be there but was parked outside, as well as the black-haired figure.
[Your Excellency, we have been locked down. The head of District 49 is observing.]
【Image synchronization replacement completed.】
Next to the car, Qi Heng listened to A0's words and glanced at himself in the mirror next to the car.
He used mental suggestion and mental interference, which not only had no effect on people with higher mental power than himself, but also had no effect on inanimate objects.
When only visual interference is applied to oneself, the self in the mirror is the real self, unless one expends mental energy to cover the mirror within the range of visual interference as well.
"Now that you see me, why don't you come out to greet me? Do you want me to stand in this crappy place and wait for you?" Qi Heng frowned and deliberately used his star power to blow up a camera not far away. The sparks from the explosion spread in all directions.
This is both a threat and a deterrent.
At the same time, he was also revealing his identity, asking 49-01 who was still watching inside to come out, forcing 49-01 to immediately confirm his identity.
"It seems he has been on Tianyun Star for too long and has forgotten the rules."
"Lei should really discipline you guys."
The unicorns can only show off their power in front of the Zerg. To the members of the Ikal civilization, they are no different from slaves who are ordered around. When Lei was in a bad mood, he never treated Hawke, the mayor of District 1, with a good face.
The district chief of District 49 was a little nervous when he saw him. He almost ran out of the house and hurriedly came to him to apologize.
"I'm really sorry, we didn't receive any notice and didn't know you were coming." Looking closer, the young man's smoky gray eyes became more obvious, and the district chief felt even more uneasy.
"I don't know what to call this gentleman."
The district chief lowered his head deeply. He was already short, and this made him look even more cautious.
The members of the Ikar civilization all had black hair and smoky gray eyes, and the one in front of him even called out Lord Lei's name... It went without saying that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
As for the suspicion that the other party was an infiltrator? 49-01 hadn't thought of that at all. The main reason was that the person in front of him was arrogant and open, with an attitude that he had a deep background and could not afford to offend.
If Tianyun Star is divided into levels, with the Zerg at the bottom and the Unicorns in the middle, the top level must be the members of the Ikal civilization stationed on the planet.
——To a certain extent, they hold the power of life and death over the unicorns on Tianyun Star, and even have the right to deal with the "disobedient and useless" unicorns.
Qi Heng didn't answer. He looked around at the other houses with closed doors and sneered, "Where are the other unicorns?"
"Do they think they don't have to come out to see me?"
49-01 didn't doubt his arrogance and said with a forced smile, "If you don't mind coming inside and sitting down, I'll call the other unicorns to see you."
"That's more like it."
"Lead the way."
49-01 looked at his car, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, your car..."
"What? Do you have any objections?" Qi Heng asked condescendingly with a look of disdain.
“I dare not…” 49-01 wanted to say that if the male insects saw this car, there would be trouble, but facing the cold face of the young man in front of him, he couldn’t say anything.
"It's your car, you can put it however you want."
49-01 led the way, took Qi Heng to his house and sat him down, then served him a glass of clean water.
"There is a shortage of supplies on Tianyun Star. We don't have anything good to treat you, sir." The head of District 49, who was so arrogant in front of the Zerg, was now groveling and trying to please the person in front of him.
Qi Heng glanced critically at the glass of water without touching it, and said arrogantly, "Why don't you bring them to me immediately? What I have to say is very important. If you delay, none of you will be held responsible."
