Interstellar Empire, Your Highness, please don’t get sick.

"No." Guan You said coldly at first, then immediately adjusted his tone and said sadly:

"We will never separate. If you insist on this, I will use the mutant power in my body to explode and die together with you!"

These words shocked the foremen. They knew that Lu Pei was a powerful person. No one knows whether his son will also have powerful energy.

But judging from his cowardly look and his wife's delicate strength, I guess it won't be a dead end unless forced into a last resort.

Finally, the two were imprisoned in a separate room, opposite the large bungalow where the strong men had bungalows.

The conditions of the base were really not that good. Fortunately, the two of them were mentally prepared and sat on the cement floor to make eye contact.

Guan You found a blind spot in the surveillance and said to Yan Zhao: They will ask their superiors for instructions.

Yan Zhao nodded, pretending to be scared, and sat next to him, leaning on his shoulder, both facing away from the surveillance camera.

Through difficult lip-sync exchanges, the two clarified the two strategies that the other party would adopt.

One is to silence them regardless of their identity. The second is to contact Lu Pei and ask for ransom.

Capital Star should have fallen out by now, and the disappearance of the crown prince is a big deal. In addition to investigation, the royal family will also block news.

What they can hope for now is that the people in Huangxing don't know about Guan You's disappearance, otherwise they may associate it with it.

The two stayed in the small house for five days, and someone brought them food every day.

The only food on the desert planet is all kinds of barbecued meats. If you want to eat vegetables, you can only have them transported by air. It's a luxury. No wonder those strong men were in such poor health that Yan Zhao wanted to help them cultivate vegetable fields.

On the fifth day, a foreman picked them out and ordered them to go to work.

Yan Zhao glanced at Guan You and said weakly, "Did Marquis Lu offer to redeem us?"

The foreman laughed and said contemptuously: "Do you think Lu Pei really cares about an illegitimate child? This old and cunning thing is still bargaining with our boss."

Although Yan Zhao tried to make excuses, the foreman was tight-lipped and absolutely refused to tell who their boss was.

But they finally found out that the leader of this base was the brown-haired man who caught them that day, named Dark Brown.

There seems to be no one named An in the empire. It sounds more like a nickname related to his appearance.

They were incorporated into one of the base's mining teams.

Each team has a mining machine for the captain to use, while everyone else digs with hand tools.

Yan Zhao had only seen such primitive mining methods in history books.

He was assigned a shovel. After arriving at an open-pit mining area, he approached Guan You and started chatting.

They were not worried about Lu Pei's reaction. Rather, this was what they expected.

On the first day of being locked up, Guan You gave Dark Brown a false name.

The pseudonym was taken from the "green" in the queen's name.

According to Guan You's understanding of Lu Pei, he is an extremely cautious person and will never express his concern for the hostages rashly. Therefore, Lu Pei was probably stalling for time to figure out the location of Huangxing.

"That mining machine is very powerful." Yan Zhao whispered, "The production cost is not low, but each team can only provide one. In other words, they have limited funds."

Guan You nodded, picked up the shovel, and wanted to break the large piece of ore in front of Yan Zhao to make it easier for him to move it.

Unexpectedly, the shovel was of poor quality and could not withstand his energy and instantly shattered into powder.

The two were petrified on the spot, and the foreman came over cursing and threw a new one to them.

"Troublesome mutant! If you break it again, you'll dig it out with your hands!"

Guan You actually felt that what he said made sense. When he turned around to supervise the others, he bent down and touched the ground with his hands. The ore finally broke into small pieces as expected.

This greatly reduced Yan Zhao's workload. He easily picked up the ore into the basket while taking the opportunity to observe other strong men.

Most people have a numb look on their faces, and they are full of hopelessness.

There was only a thin man with sharp eyes, doing his job and winking at the newcomer Yan Zhao and the others.

After approaching slowly and calmly, the man asked: "Are you from the γ Galaxy Empire?"

Yan Zhao asked, "Do you all know?"

"Yes, word spread all over the accommodation area. When the foremen were drunk, they said that they were about to be rewarded by the boss because they caught the big shot."

Guan You immediately said: "I may disappoint you, I am just an illegitimate son of a noble family in the empire."

The man laughed at himself: "That's much better than poor guys like us from the fringe planet. We have no value and can only contribute our strength."

The three of them immediately exchanged names. The man's name was Wei Wen, and he came from the Edge of One Star.

"Let me tell you." Wei Wen glanced around, "Have you never thought about escaping? Lu Qing, you are a mutant. I heard that you almost escaped that day!"

Guan You pretended to be honest and honest: "It's hard for me to beat four hands with two fists. They have so many weapons. It's impossible."

"I have a way..." Wei Wen's eyes moved quickly, and he was about to tease them both when he was spotted by the foreman who came over.

The foreman was unceremonious and whipped him.

Seeing that it was about to hit Yan Zhao, Guan You reached out and grabbed the tail of the whip and said coldly: "If you do this again, we will die together."

Yan Zhao held the shovel and tried not to show a strange expression.

I wonder if anyone else in the palace has heard Guan You say "die together". He is becoming more and more proficient in speaking.

It can be seen that the foreman does not dare to provoke mutants. But the next day, he transferred Wei Wen to another team and stopped them from talking to each other.

Yan Zhao found many opportunities, but failed to strike up a conversation with Wei Wen again. The foreman is very strict with them. When they get up in the morning, they pick up the bread and go to the mining area.

One night, Yan Zhao poked Guan You next to him and saw that the two foremans guarding the door were drunk and chatting loudly.
