Chapter 163 The Child and the Green Scorpion
The only decent building in the city of sinners is the military barracks in the city. The fence stretches a yard of 1000 square kilometers, and a small practice center and several barracks with steel frames are built. There is a large wasteland outside. [-] Two hundred fighters and warriors, plus a few old-fashioned frigates.

Jiang Xia walked around the barracks, and he understood why Chaodong and the others were eager to leave. Although Andromeda is generally not as prosperous as the Milky Way, the conditions here are too poor. The living conditions of soldiers stationed here are actually worse than those of exiled criminals. Not much better.

"Okay, clean up, you can leave at any time." Jiang Xia looked at the data disks that Chaodong handed in, and waved his hand.

You don't need to think about it, it is impossible to have any valuable data in the sinner galaxy. The so-called handover is simply a formality, so Jiang Xia didn't look at the account book, and directly agreed to let the soldiers go back.

Chao Dong excitedly waved his arm and said: "Master Chief, you are so refreshing! According to the rules, we are obliged to help the new chief to stabilize the situation before leaving. This time can be several months or several years. .”

"Since you have spoken, there is nothing to say!" Chao Dong slapped his chest loudly and said, "Leave all the supplies of our army! After all, you have just arrived here, and you may need these things."

"Yeah." Jiang Xia nodded slightly.

Chao Dong laughed and left, Jiang Xia heard him calling the garrison to assemble in the yard, announcing that he could leave this barren land, the soldiers shouted hoarsely.

Lang Ya who was beside Jiang Xia nodded lightly, "Go and call those leaders in."

"Yes."

After Langya went out, Jiang Xia looked at the empty surroundings, and realized that he was really lonely, and he was a chief after all, and there was only Langya who was available to him.

Not long after, a dozen or so shambling old men entered Jiang Xia's temporary office. They lined up and lowered their heads cautiously. Perhaps due to long-term discrimination, the backbones of these leaders had already bent.

"I heard that your age is generally around 20 years old?" Jiang Xia frowned and asked.

"Back to Lord Chief." A somewhat healthy man walked out of the leaders. His face looked old and his hair was also white, but at least he didn't walk falteringly, and his waist was straighter than the others.

"You may not know that short life is a punishment from the Beast God. In the Sinner Galaxy, it is rare to live to the age of 25. As for us, the average may be [-] or [-] years old."

As an atheist, Jiang Xia doesn't believe in such nonsense as the punishment of beast gods. The short-lived people in the sinner galaxy must have something else wrong.

"What's your name?"

"Go back to Chief, my name is Perry, and I am currently the leader of the Sinner Galaxy."

"Well, tell me about your daily life in detail. I want to know all the details."

"You go out, let me be alone." After more than three hours, Jiang Xia waved to the leaders and said.

Langya also exited Jiang Xia's office, he closed the door and stood guard outside.

Jiang Xia closed her eyes, and her mind came to the virtual world attached to the spirit brain, only to see that Ling Xiao had already laid out the topographic map of the criminal galaxy, looking at the map cross-legged and thinking.

Jiang Xia sat down next to Ling Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I feel that there is something wrong with the food. After all, if it is due to the environment, the Yeben warriors stationed here should also show signs of rapid aging."

"But we can clearly see that the soldiers are healthy, and only the locals are aging rapidly."

"According to Perry's description, the garrison looked down on the criminals and thought they were dirty, so they only ate the food they brought. Perhaps it was this difference that caused the division between the garrison and the locals."

"It's ridiculous that those criminals really think that the beast god is punishing them."

Ling Xiao nodded, "I also think the problem should be the eating habits of the criminals. I want to know the answer is very simple. Now that it is dark, let's find a family of criminals to see what they are eating .”

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Xia nodded.

When Jiang Xia came to the yard, the barracks had become completely silent. In a short time, Chao Dong took the garrison away. They didn't even want to stay for a minute. Jiang Xia was the only one left in the 1 square kilometers barracks. , Nolan Weiwei, and Langya's family of four.

"Where is Nolan Weiwei?" Jiang Xia asked Langya.

"She said she was not feeling well, and she has rested, and my wife is taking care of her." Langya replied.

Jiang Xia nodded, "Tell your wife, don't eat any local food for the time being, and don't even touch the water."

"Yes." Langya quickly nodded in agreement, inevitably a little suspicious in his heart, but in front of Jiang Xia, he still kept these questions in his heart.

Langya confessed to his wife through the intercom, and then walked out of the barracks with Jiang Xia.

"Where are we going now?" Langya asked.

"Let's go there." Jiang Xia casually pointed to a dilapidated house not far from the barracks. There seemed to be a lot of families there, and seven or eight children were playing outside.

Just as Jiang Xia and Langya arrived at the door of this house, they bumped into a woman coming out of the house, beckoning the children to go home for dinner.

This woman doesn't look like the children's mother at all, with gray hair, stooped waist, and wrinkled face, she looks more like the children's grandmother in terms of age.

Seeing Jiang Xia, the woman was taken aback for a moment, saluted quickly, and called the chief.

As for the seven or eight children, they were looking at Jiang Xia with hostile eyes. They were small, but had exaggerated muscle lines on their bodies. They were all dirty, like a group of mud monkeys.

"This kind of look is exactly the same as when I was young." Langya looked at the group of children and said, "I am bullied every day, so I am full of hatred for everything in life, but I am luckier than them, because I have superpowers since I was a child, so He was left in Yeben City, not thrown here."

Jiang Xia nodded, "Yes, otherwise you are also one of them."

Jiang Xia and Langya walked into this family, and after asking, they found out that the father of these children was dead, and only the mother was left to support them.

In the Sinner galaxy, there are many examples of not living beyond the age of 20. The locals usually get married and have children at the age of 12, and their bodies begin to age rapidly, starting at the age of 16.

In other places, 16 years old is just the time of youth, but in the criminal galaxy, 16 years old is the sign of entering old age. Since the first group of people who were exiled here, cruelty has always existed.

"Don't worry about us, you can continue to eat dinner." Jiang Xia said to the children's mother.

The elderly woman was obviously embarrassed, but she didn't dare to resist Jiang Xia, so she called her eldest son to bring out a huge metal basin from the kitchen. The diameter of the basin was half a meter. The food inside was a kind of vegetable dumpling, which was black I don't know what kind of vegetable it is. After wrapping it in flour, it is steamed in a steamer and sprinkled with some salt.

The children did not use tableware, picked up a handful of vegetable dumplings from the basin with their hands, squeezed them firmly, and then put them in their mouths to chew.

Jiang Xia asked Langya to bring some vegetable dumplings for herself, but she didn't eat it, so she put it in her hand and observed it carefully.

"Starchy food plus crude fiber plant roots, a small amount of mineral salt, the black sesame-like thing should be the seeds of some kind of plant, used for seasoning, there is nothing we are looking for here." Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness .

Seven or eight unusually strong children finished off the pot of vegetable dumplings in a short while. At this time, the mother and the eldest son brought out a pot full of the same food, and a small pot of green oil, something similar to olives.

The eyes of the children glowed when they saw the green olives. It seemed that olives soaked in vegetable oil were a rare delicacy for them.

The old woman offered the jar of green olives with both hands, and said in a low voice, "Please try this, Lord Chief, green scorpion, it's delicious."

Jiang Xia was startled, opened the jar and smelled it in front of his nose, the smell was very pungent.

Squeeze one out of the jar and look carefully. It turns out that this thing is not an olive, but the seed of an unknown plant. After being squeezed, a golden liquid will flow out. Perhaps it has been stored for a long time, and the smell is quite pungent. of.

Seeing Jiang Xia randomly crushing the precious food, those children were unhappy, pouted at Jiang Xia, and widened their eyes.

"It should be this." Ling Xiao said in Jiang Xia's consciousness.

Jiang Xia nodded and asked the woman, "Do you often eat this?"

The woman shook her head and said: "The production of scorpions is very low, and each person can only get one scorpion per day. This thing smells bad, but it tastes good. The sinner galaxy is very poor, and there is nothing delicious other than this." It's gone."

The woman seemed to want Jiang Xia to give it a try, but Jiang Xia would never eat something of unknown origin.

He lightly wiped the space ring with his finger, took out some food that he brought with him, nothing more than the military energy bars of the Yebun tribe, candies, jerky, etc., about a dozen catties, and put them on the table.

"I'll exchange these for your green scorpion." Jiang Xia said.

If the children saw the green scorpion's eyes bursting out just now, their eyeballs are red now. Where have they seen such exquisite food since they were young?Whenever the soldiers in the garrison eat, the children will lie in the corner and smell the smell, while drooling non-stop.

Whenever the garrison throws away the unfinished food, it is the happiest time for these children, and the strong children can always grab some leftovers.

Langya frowned slightly, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Cruel, aggressive, and cunning, the eyes of these children reminded me of wild wolves in the forest. Once in a pack, they are very difficult to deal with."

Jiang Xia went around to Langya's wife, and found that Dahu and Xiaohu were very depressed. After all, they came to this barren land of exile. Dahu and Xiaohu had a big gap in their hearts. Jiang Xia's territory is not as good as the countryside where they used to live. Woolen cloth.

Nolan Weiwei said that she had already fallen asleep, and Jiang Xia knew she had something on her mind, so she didn't bother him. After eating a little something, she returned to the dilapidated garrison office building.

In order to hide her identity, Jiang Xia threw away almost everything related to the earth, including the refining notes and equipment given to Jiang Xia by the Lu family brothers. If there is equipment, Jiang Xia can still determine the pharmacological properties of the green scorpion through experiments.

"There is no other way, it seems that I can only taste this thing myself." Jiang Xia opened the jar and said.

Ling Xiao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "That's the only way. Eat a little, it shouldn't be fatal. I will carefully observe your body's reaction."

So Jiang Xia fished out a green scorpion from the jar, put it on a plate, cut it open with a short knife, and put a third of it into his mouth.

In an instant, a strong spicy smell rushed straight to the forehead, a bit like the taste of ginger, but soon this spicy taste disappeared, and the golden liquid contained in the green scorpion was like the gravy that flows out of a large piece of meat, greasy Yes, with a slight sweetness, the taste is really good.

"There is a reaction!" Ling Xiao said in a deep voice in Jiang Xia's consciousness: "Your metabolism has started to speed up, and the activity of your cells has accelerated by at least ten times."

"The body temperature rises, and the surface skin becomes red."

"Muscle Fiber Accelerated Tear Re-Growth!"

"The heart rate returns to normal, and you start to adapt to this high metabolism."

Jiang Xia closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body after taking the green scorpion, while Ling Xiao was also observing nervously.

Both Jiang Xia and Ling Xiao were surprised by the results. The side effects brought by the green scorpion to Jiang Xia were like a powerful stimulant. His whole body became active, and the release of growth hormone and cell metabolism all increased tenfold. more than double!
Ten hours later, the sky was already dark, and the side effects caused by one third of the green scorpions gradually subsided.

There was no pain that night, Jiang Xia felt extremely energetic, as if he had taken some kind of medicine specially designed to increase the speed of the body, but according to Jiang Xia's experience, even the medicine made by the Lu family brothers did not have such a powerful effect.

"There is no doubt that green scorpion is a powerful cell-accelerating drug." Ling Xiao asserted: "Long-term use of green scorpion will cause cells to divide continuously and be eliminated, which is equivalent to being reborn over and over again."

"Because of the accelerated growth, the children here will reach the peak of their life at the age of 12, and then they will gradually decline."

Jiang Xia thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as cell acceleration. According to my observations, those four or five-year-old children already have the physical fitness of warriors. Children who are at the peak of eleven or twelve years old, their physical fitness I'm afraid it has reached the general level."

"But what's strange is that when the general level is reached, the body will form an energy core as a necessary mechanism for regulating and storing energy. Although the children here are very strong, none of them have an energy core."

Ling Xiao said: "You observed very carefully, but you forgot that I said a word just now, you have been reborn."

"The energy core is a sign of the maturity of a martial artist. As for whether it is necessary to gather the energy core at the general level, it is not necessarily true. Didn't you get the energy core at the intermediate level of the warrior yourself, and some people took it later."

"The cell acceleration caused by the consumption of green scorpions by the children of the criminal galaxy will keep the cells in their bodies constantly renewing. The energy core needs a stable body structure and energy reserves. They are always accelerating, just like a sprinter. , keep running, keep running, until the end of life.”

"So, they don't have a stable period at all. Even if there is, such a short stable period is not enough to form an energy core."

Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback, "It's like a high-speed suspension car, although the speed is very fast, but it misses all the scenery along the way?"

"That's right." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "The local people can indeed reach the general level of physical fitness at the age of 12, but what they have is only physical fitness, and the devil-like green scorpion will drive them to keep accelerating until they die .”

"It's like making a pact with the devil, using your life in exchange for a short-lived glory."

"Understood." Jiang Xia stood up and said loudly, "Langya!"

shuh~
A black shadow immediately appeared outside Jiang Xia's office, it was Lang Ya, this loyal guy quietly guarded outside all night.

"Get Perry here, right away! I'm going to take a look at the place where the green scorpion is produced." Jiang Xia ordered in a deep voice.
