Chapter 116 debuts So he has two Aces under his feet? overtake……
Sava pushed the door into the small kitchen and keenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
This bird in particular, his clothes were barely tidy and his expression was calm, but he was young after all, and his evasive eyes betrayed him instantly.
Looking at the other party, he is worthy of being the old emperor, with a strong psychological quality. He is so dignified even when holding a plastic water bottle, and his aura is so strong that people dare not look directly at him.
Sava was quite tactful. He saluted and stepped back with a grin: "Go on, go on."
"Go on!" Bai Ling quickly put on his clothes and zipped them up to the top. He scratched his hair in annoyance, dragged the hen and walked out.
I don't know what's going on, but he's been very irritable lately.
Is he also short of water?
"What does Admiral Schlolan want to talk to me about?" The best way to cover up the embarrassment is to change the subject.
"He found a map of the Wild Star from his private cloud archive and wants to send it to you."
Bai Ling snapped his fingers lightly: "Just in time."
Schlolan's map must be of military collection level and has detailed content. With this map, if it can be combined with a few GPS positioning satellites, an electronic surveillance network can be set up directly in the area.
In his previous life, he wanted to get a similar electronic map, but he had to send someone out in a mecha to survey it. Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, but the accuracy was also far from the official level of the empire.
I didn't expect that I would get it in this life without any effort.
Bai Ling responded to Shi Luolan positively: [Thank you for your generous and selfless dedication! ]
Shi Luolan: [Ahem... not that selfless...]
The ghost wanted to cry but had no tears. My son, it’s not “senior”, it’s dad, the father who loves you so much.
No, I must find a way to make the kid call him dad.
·
The maglev motorcycle had been waiting under the spaceship, and its engine had been started. Bai Ling looked back and saw that Sava was still fiddling with his clothes.
Savoie hated it: "I can't zip it up."
Bai Ling: "...That's the largest size for hips! Breathe in."
After a lot of effort, they finally managed to get it in. Sava walked carefully and with a furtive look, for fear that a sudden breath would break his buckle belt.
Savoy ruffled his feathers in displeasure: "I'm going to buy a custom set later!"
Bai Ling frowned: "Ask your guardian to buy it for you."
"Bah! I won't spend his filthy money."
Sava clipped his big sunglasses on his ears, stepped hard on the accelerator, the rear wheels kicked up yellow sand, and he rushed out with a roar.
Bai Ling held his goggles and turned to look at the spaceship. The scorching sun shone on the exterior glass, refracting colorful light. Yu Chen was standing in front of the observation deck, and his line of sight was exactly opposite his.
Bai Ling unconsciously curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, and blew a kiss from afar.
Yu Chen laughed. This bird was just like a soldier teasing people.
The motorcycle roared back, and Sava stopped beside it and shouted, "We're going out to find a water source. Don't we need to bring buckets or something?"
"No, we'll just catch it back."
"Catch? Can you catch?"
Bai Ling pointed upwards. Sava looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw several reflective "clouds" floating in the blue sky. Sava's pupils trembled:
“Is there such a thing in this place?”
An ancient species of jellyfish, and an extra-large Max+Plus type.
·
Ancient species of jellyfish are amphibious creatures both in the sea and in the sky. Its umbrella-shaped body is light and transparent, and is specially designed to store water evaporated from the stratosphere. Occasionally, when it rains, these jellyfish will gather under the dark clouds and fill themselves with rain water like a faucet filling a balloon.
Of course, if it's filled too full, it might fall to the ground with a thud and break into pieces.
Locals collect these sandy jellyfish fragments as a daily hydration supplement.
Bai Ling's method is simpler and more brutal - use a grappling hook to catch one and take it home to raise.
This is not a fantasy, but rather one of the special landscapes of Wild Star. In this place where water is more expensive than gold, the rich people all raise "clouds" at home. When you pass by their villa, you will see fiber lines tied to the roof, with a large group of jellyfish clouds tied to the lines. By pulling the lines, the "clouds" can bring rain to the small garden. Not only is it convenient for watering flowers, but you can also enjoy the rain scene in the desert anytime and anywhere.
"There's one! Flying very low."
A bright silver dune scooter was running on Highway 9. The yellow sand piled up into layers of mountains, rising and falling and flying backwards from the corner of my eye. On the distant skyline, the blue sky and the earth cut a clear dividing line, straight and sharp, as if drawn with a ruler.
On the wrong side of the road, a petrol green bus passed by them.
It was in tatters, with a beverage advertisement on the body of the car shaky, but it was still powerful, leaving behind a thick black smoke tail as it galloped, and a signboard with a double image that read - [Terminal - Metropolis].
Metropolis, composed of the Greek words meter (mother) and polis (city), usually refers to the cultural and political center of a colony.
Historically, Wildstar was also one of the first landing points for Earth's interstellar colonization.
Sava shouted to Bai Ling: "Metropolis, what's there?"
"oasis."
"Why don't we live there?"
"The Oasis is too crowded to accommodate such a large boat."
He used the three words "cannot accommodate", and Sava subconsciously felt that he had something else in mind.
As he was speaking, three motorcycles rushed up the Gobi cliff, the brake pads hissing and rubbing, the wheels with barbed wire just stopped at the edge, a foot in calfskin short boots stepped on the ground, Bai Ling put his palm to his brow, squinted his eyes, and looked into the distance.
In the field of vision, a city is situated on the yellow sand. Black antennas are densely packed, piercing into the sky one after another, like unknown buds emerging from the rotten soil of the rain forest in late spring, so dense that it makes one's teeth ache. These signal antennas, hundreds of meters high, replace steel and concrete to outline the shape of the entire city in the sky, which is messy, crowded, and lacks the most basic aesthetics.
Like tumbleweeds in the wilderness, life grows wildly here.
In the midst of this chaos, stands a golden conical building. Judging from the great distance, its actual size should be similar to the Great Pyramid of Khufu on ancient Earth. It's terrifyingly big, blindingly bright, and covered with gold foil. I really can't agree with the taste of it.
Sava held up a telescope and asked curiously, "Whose grave is that?"
The leader: "...That's not a grave, it's the mansion of the 'landlord'."
“Who is the landlord?”
"The current de facto military controller of Wildstar."
"Should we go over and say hello?"
Bai Ling crossed his arms and curled his lips lightly: "No need, we will make a lot of noise when we enter the atmosphere, he must have known about it a long time ago."
"Got it, and welcome us?"
"No," Bai Ling made a gesture of wiping his neck and smiled half-heartedly, "They will come to kill us."
Sava's expression froze, and then he narrowed his eyes: "There's something wrong with me believing you, you stinky bird."
If they really came to kill them, how could this bird be so calm? This guy must have made it up to scare him.
The incident was soon forgotten and the three birds got on their motorcycles and continued chasing the clouds.
The flying height of the motorcycle is limited, only about ten centimeters off the ground, but the speed is very fast. With a single step on the accelerator, it can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Riding in the Gobi Desert full of cacti gives you the feeling of riding an inflatable killer whale in a water park. It collided wildly and splashed into the sky, but what was scattered was not water, but flying sand and dust, golden yellow, mixed with fine quartzite.
As the wheels sped past, a fine net of sand was cast under the sunlight, and the air seemed to be sprinkled with gold powder. Even when you closed your hot eyelids, you could still feel the dazzling brilliance.
Bai Ling took a deep breath. When he got here, his blocked alveoli seemed to open up, his pores became clear, and he learned to breathe again.
Swoosh——
Three motorcycles flew over the cliff, and the shiny steel pipes cast a cross star light under the scorching sun. They were suspended in mid-air, falling at a speed of seconds. The strong wind made their upper and lower teeth chatter. Sava shouted tremblingly:
"What is that?"
On the right side of the sight, a huge windmill suddenly appeared in the desert. The black gears continued to rotate, shining with oil. It had no fixed base. Instead, it was like a living thing, moving around with the wind as the gears turned.
Black-winged Kite yelled, "That's a mining truck!"
Bai Ling's voice was full of joy: "What a cute pet! I want to have one!!"
Sava: "Ask your guardian to buy it for you!"
As the car landed with a loud bang, the sand buried them for a moment, but in less than a second, the powerful engine immediately started to spin, turning the wheels at a rapid speed and spraying sand from all over the body of the car. Then he dived forward, broke free from the sand pile, and ran wildly like a wild horse towards the flowing sun in the distance, which was yellower than a salted duck egg.
Looking down from the sky, in the vast desert, three long trails were chasing each other, and smoke was rising everywhere. Ahead of them, a cloud of jellyfish stood out, taking advantage of the evening monsoon to escape desperately.
"Whoever catches it gets tonight's tuna belly!"
"Then you'll just have to eat the scraps, stinky chicken!"
The team leader, who usually keeps a straight face, couldn't help but smile at this moment.
"You guys chat first, I'll go first."
The birds chasing the wind stretch their wings gracefully and freely, and fly with all their strength and speed up.
·
When they returned, all three of them were covered in dust, but with varying degrees of silly smiles on their faces.
A bonfire and a tent were set up under the spacecraft, and wisps of green smoke rose into the sky. Yu Chen stood in front of the tent and heard the sound of the pedal being retracted. He turned around and saw the bird walking with an unbridled step. The big sunglasses could not cover its delicate eyebrows. Its lips were covered with sand and it grinned to the side, releasing its natural mischief.
He passed the kite string forward, and the jellyfish in the sky swayed in the wind, raising its jaws:
"Mermaid, I caught a cloud for you. How are you going to thank me?"
Yu Chen smiled gently and said, "I will give you whatever Commander Bai needs."
The sunglasses slid down to the bridge of his nose and Bai Ling pretended to look him up and down. His delicate eyebrows and eyes were mixed with a sense of banditry, which was not abrupt, but rather fit his wild and thorny pheromones.
He put his long, thin arms around the mermaid's waist and tilted his head towards her: "I'm still in need of a male companion for the bonfire party tonight. Would you be so kind as to come?"
A very asshole tone.
"I'm very happy to do it." Yu Chen's voice shook.
They walked towards the bonfire. Behind them, the team leader asked in surprise, "So Bai Ling has two electric toothbrushes?"
Sava picked the sand in Risako's ear and asked, "What?"
The leader said to himself: "The blond alpha is his guardian and male companion, and Isuparaiso has that kind of relationship with him, so——"
Sava felt nervous for a moment. Bai Ling had told him before that the true identity of Isuparaiso should be concealed if possible, even to the people on the boat, and he should just say that Blond A was the sponsor.
Did the black-winged kite figure out something?
Leader: "——So he has two aces?"
Sava twitched his lips and said perfunctorily, "Ah...yes, yes, yes. By the way, these two A's know each other's existence, so there's no need to worry about a fight between the two males."
The team leader thought deeply and felt that there was some truth in it. In his impression, some old Western aristocrats are like this, as if they have cuckold fetishes. As long as they can possess the strongest female, they don't mind sharing her with other males.
Bai Ling must have encountered this situation as well...
So complicated. The team leader sighed.
It felt more complicated than his own situation.
After a week of traveling, crossing half the galaxy, and finally stepping on the land again, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved. It would definitely not be appropriate to ask everyone to stand and stay on the boat, so Bai Ling simply instructed the canteen to prepare dinner outside in a barbecue style.
No matter what the future holds, everyone must have a good and full meal on their first visit to Yexing.
This place is located in a desert area, about seven hours' drive from the oasis, and there are few people nearby.
Nightingale searched the map and found a small grocery store. "We ordered Coke from the owner. He should be here soon."
“You still have takeout in such a remote place?”
"Well, it's really far. The boss said I have to ride 120 kilometers to get here."
Bai Ling was stringing mutton onto skewers. When he heard this, he raised his head slightly. Someone rode 120 kilometers to deliver drinks. His first thought was:
This person must not be well off financially.
·
Hal had a very difficult time.
A few days ago, he unexpectedly received an allowance compensation of 20,000 star coins, signed as the "Compass" of the Honor Return Home.
He used the money to pay off his medical debts and start a new life. But the bank under the landlord was relentless, suspecting that he must have made a fortune to take out such a large sum of money at once, and added an additional 30,000 yuan in interest on the spot, asking him to pay it back within this week.
Even though he has the badge of a bank manager on his chest, he is actually no different from a loan shark.
"If you can't pay it back, we will smash your store and break your remaining hand." The manager grabbed him viciously.
Hal shook him off and walked back to the hut without saying a word.
I opened my mailbox and found that the email I sent to Compass was also returned.
Here, it is impossible to send messages to outer space without paying high interstellar roaming network fees to the landlord. Even radio, news, TV programs, all channels charge high membership fees.
So here, every household will put up a sky-high antenna in order to receive satellite signals and watch two free TV stations.
Hal turned around and saw that the virtual TV on the old refrigerator was playing Cade's chattering, complaining about "terrorists."
He turned off the TV without mercy, hung a towel around his neck, and walked back and forth more than ten times before he finally moved the Coke onto the motorcycle trailer. When he started the engine, he was already sweating and gasping for breath.
So tired...
He was forced to lie on the dashboard and allow himself a two-minute rest.
I don't want to live like this anymore.
Unpayable debts, endless oppression, even death would be better than this. He would rather die in battle, with his plane destroyed and his crew killed, than be poked in the back by a passing kid, who laughed at him:
"He is the one who used to be the captain of the capital planet."
Today, he unexpectedly received a big order. 100 bottles of Coke, almost cleared his inventory.
That's fine.
As Hal locked the door, a thought suddenly occurred to him, becoming clearer and clearer and harder to shake off.
After delivering this order, he won't have to come back.
All the way on the bike, Hal was looking for cliffs. 120 kilometers is a long way, enough to give him many options.
But he denied one cliff, and then another.
The night wind from the desert gave me a splitting headache and cold sweat covered my spine. He always felt that there were still some unfinished business, and he couldn't just die like this. After thinking about it in confusion for a while, he finally remembered -
He hasn't sent out the thank-you note yet.
When they arrived at the agreed location, Hal saw a spaceship, an extremely huge ship. He stood at its feet, like an ant that could be crushed at will.
Which nobleman should be having a picnic here in a boat?
The upper echelons of the empire were so absurd that it was hard for Hal not to speculate in that direction.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said with difficulty: "Can I borrow the base station on your ship to send an email? It will be very fast and will definitely not cause you any trouble."
The omega who came to move the Coke was petite and had a very sweet voice. Nightingale nodded: "I'll ask for you."
He turned around and called for someone, and a man stood up next to the campfire with scarlet flames. The other person's originally cold temperament seemed inexplicably friendly and warm when illuminated by the firelight.
Hal had a vague feeling that he seemed to have seen this face somewhere.
His heartbeat quickened as he heard the white-haired young man ask, "Why do you want to send an email?"
Hal clenched his palms and lowered his eyes: "The external communication network here has been controlled. It costs a lot of money. I can't afford it for the time being."
Unexpectedly, the seemingly cold young man readily agreed:
"Sure. Are you sending it to your family?"
Hal nodded, still a little reserved and wary, "Almost. Send it to a comrade I've never met."
Bai Ling's expression suddenly dawned, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "However, your information may be retained after passing through our base station. Do you mind?"
"The content of the letter is not sensitive. I can even read it to you directly." Without the other party's request, Hal took out the terminal and eagerly proved his innocence. He read intermittently:
"Dear Comrade Zhibeideng: I sincerely thank you and your unit for your help. I have benefited a lot from that money. With it, my life has improved greatly. From now on, I... I will start a new life."
He choked slightly when he read this, then quickly and calmly read:
"I wish you and your family good health. Your comrade whom you have never met, Captain Hal..."
Before he could finish his words, his one arm was tightly grasped by a warm hand.
Hal looked up in surprise. He found that the young man's gray eyes were actually flashing with an intense light. He held him tightly, his finger bones were trembling, and even his voice was excited:
"Captain Hal, I am the North Light."
Hal stood there in a daze, his lips trembling a few times, unable to speak.
"Hello, my friend whom I have never met before. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Bai Ling."
Bai Ling, isn’t that... the Commander Bai who rebelled against the tyrant! Hal's trembling heart began to beat violently.
Without saying a word, Bai Ling turned his eyes, winked at the campfire from afar, and moved his mouth silently, as if saying something.
Communicate tacitly across the crowd.
The next second, a tall figure stood up at the edge of the crowd, leaving the hustle and bustle and walking to the quiet intersection.
Bai Ling nodded and said to Yu Chen, "He was the person we wrote to last time."
To Hal, he introduced Yu Chen: "He was also the one who wrote letters to everyone with me at that time. The signature was mine, and the seal was his."
Hal looked over and saw the elegant man taking out a handkerchief to wipe the grease off his fingers before shaking hands with him solemnly and politely:
"Hello."
No unnecessary courtesy, only respect.
Hal's eyes were hot, and it seemed like something was about to come out. He came to his senses, lowered his head quickly, and wiped them hard with the back of his hand.
Bai Ling pretended not to notice his loss of composure, glanced at the shabby motorcycle, and asked with a smile like an old friend:
"Is the store locked?"
Hal was stunned, not knowing why the other party asked this. He nodded blankly, "It's locked."
Bai Ling took his hand, walked towards the campfire, and said without letting anyone refuse, "Then come over and have a drink. We are all old drinkers here, come and join us."
The night wind blew coolly, ruffling the empty sleeve of Hal's left hand.
Yu Chen looked at their backs, his hands in his pockets, then smiled and followed them back.
The purest kindness without any reason.
I passed it on to you, and you passed it on to others.
