Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Based on the principle of not eating for free if there is a meal available, the man and the cat ate and drank to their heart's content.

Even though they don't need to eat to sustain their lives, since they are here, wouldn't it be a waste if they don't eat a meal?

You will know after you eat it that Interstellar cuisine is all about technology, not hard work. The raw materials are scientifically raised and planted, and the production chain is fully automated. There will be no unhygienic and illegal operations during the production process. The seasoning is also the best ratio, and the dishes made are healthy, hygienic and delicious.

So I ordered a dinner and a midnight snack and tried all the dishes in the hotel.

After eating and drinking their fill, the man and the cat took a nice bath together, lay down, and fell asleep.

Then they watched various zombie movies together in the system space.

In the middle of the night, Lu Jinzhao was awakened by the bionic manager. Hearing the air raid sirens outside, he was a little confused: "What happened?"

The android manager kept a proper smile and said, "The monster incident a few hours ago seems to be showing signs of breaking out again. The army is urgently checking residential areas and may have to block the border. Please consider leaving Retra at night. There are still a few passenger ships for those who pass the inspection to leave. If it is really blocked later, I am afraid you will not be able to leave. I will refund the accommodation fee to your account."

He opened the curtains and looked toward the port. Indeed, there were a large number of armed soldiers who looked like soldiers searching every house. Lu Jinzhao lowered the curtains and squinted at him: "You're not leaving?"

As far as he knew, although androids were highly intelligent robots in human form, they also had basic human rights. They could not be beaten or scolded at will, could not be destroyed at will, and could not have their personal freedom excessively restricted. They had almost the same rights as space citizens.

To put it bluntly, they are essentially a tradable commodity "created because of human needs", and therefore are not allowed to enter important positions in business, politics, etc.

And the androids with owners are relatively less free.

The hotel is not far from the port. If the manager wants to leave, he should be able to escape no matter what.

The manager shook his head. “This is what my master left behind. I will not abandon it.”

Hearing this, Chitose suddenly remembered the group photo hanging in the hotel lobby. Curious, he searched the hotel's history. After reading it, he couldn't help but feel touched: "It turns out that this is a relic left by an important person... Sure enough, the androids are thoughtful."

The photo in the hall showed a young couple, and the man was the manager in front of him. The photo frame was well preserved, and there was no trace of time on the photo paper. At that time, it thought the photo was new and the woman in it was alive. It was strange at the time that in this technological age, there were still people using old-fashioned photo paper and photo frames to preserve memories.

It turned out to be a longing that spanned a hundred years.

The android manager seemed to see that Lu Jinchao was short of money, so he asked politely, "If it's convenient for you, could you help me take something to Planet Albedo? I'm willing to pay for a boat ticket for you."

Two blue lights flashed in his eyes. Bionic people usually have built-in optical computers, but Lu Jinchao bought an external one specifically to disguise himself as a human. The boat ticket has been purchased and automatically sent to Lu Jinchao's optical computer. Then he pressed on his left arm, and the ring finger of his left hand bent backwards, revealing a small storage space.

Inside was a very beautiful blue gem pendant.

The manager took out the necklace and handed it to Lu Jinchao solemnly: "Please take this to Albedo and give it to Miss Mu. Please."

"Aren't you worried that I might run away with the money?"

The android manager just smiled gently: "It's not worth much, it's more of a symbolic meaning. If I can help you one last time, it will be considered as a good deed on my part."

Lu Jinzhao saw the deposit information and address pop up on the computer, and he rarely felt emotional about his behavior of running away from the bill. He put away his necklace, put on his coat, packed his weapons, and set out.

After thinking for a while, he turned back and took out a small spacecraft-specific phase shift device looted from the starship from his trouser pocket and handed it to the android manager: "Here, this is for you. It should help you keep the hotel."

Phase shift device, to be precise, is a technology derived from the mirage phenomenon. It can hide the appearance of an object or project it to other directions, creating an illusion like a mirage. This thing is expensive and not something that ordinary people can afford. The small version specially made for spacecraft should be enough to cover the entire hotel.

Just consider it as room fee.

Before the manager could figure out what was in his hand, Lu Jinchao had already walked a long way away. He could only quietly put the thing away and thanked him loudly and solemnly in the direction where the man walked away: "Thank you very much."

Lu Jinzhao waved his hand without looking back.

"In front! If the ship is full, please move on! Don't block the way here and affect our ship's entry into the port!"

"Hurry up! What are you doing blocking the port?"

As soon as Lu Jinzhao arrived at the port, he heard the hustle and bustle, noise and crowds everywhere, which was comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush in his previous life.

He quietly queued up to wait for ticket checking, only to see the first spaceship full of people slowly leaving the port, and the second spaceship approaching the boarding gate soon after.

"boom--"

A huge explosion was heard, and everyone present was blown away by the heat wave before they could resist. The tallest one was more than ten meters high. It was like raining bodies from the sky, and the dull thud of flesh hitting the ground could be heard everywhere.

The moment Lu Jinzhao was blown away, his body subconsciously reacted, turned half a circle in the air, steadily caught Qiansui, and landed safely. He looked up and saw that the passenger ship that had just left the port had exploded, as if it had hit an invisible wall of air, and the entire ship was torn into pieces.

The heat wave caused by the explosion was so scorching that several survivors who were close to the scene began to burn. They hurriedly ran away and looked for something to put out the fire.

Qiansui leaned on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder and said with a sigh, "This moment of extreme heat, I just saw a few unlucky guys burn to ashes on the spot."

"That's not right. With such a large ship and such advanced weapons, there's no reason why there wouldn't be a scanner to detect obstacles ahead... Even I couldn't detect it. Could it be that this wall suddenly appeared out of nowhere???"

The second passenger ship had not yet set off and did not dare to move forward. The port management staff urgently sent several drones to conduct aerial exploration. After using sound waves and laser detection, they found that an air wall appeared 5,000 meters above the ground. It was eggshell-shaped and surrounded the entire port, extending to an undetectable range.

The army spokesman arrived in time and sent out bombers to bombard the dome in the sky. However, the eggshell seemed to absorb their attacks and turned back, destroying several bombers.

Only two combat-experienced pilots survived.

The people at the port were suddenly in a panic.

Someone grabbed the manager's arm and asked, "Can we get out alive?!"

The managers had never seen such a scene before and looked to the military spokesperson for help.

Sergeant Tracy urgently used the optical computer to contact his superiors and tried to report the situation, but the optical computer, which had existed for thousands of years and had almost never been reported to have any problems, was now just a bunch of garbled text. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

He directed the soldiers to clean up the scene, treat the wounded, and calm the people. He took a megaphone and said loudly: "Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, I know that the two abnormal incidents that have occurred recently have caused a lot of trouble to everyone, but please believe that our government and the army will do their best to restore order as soon as possible and get everything back on track!"

"In this difficult period, we must unite as one and overcome the difficulties together. Please believe that our government has the ability to lead us through this difficult time!"

"Get back on track..." A man's face was burned with most of the skin burned off. He collapsed and shouted with blood and tears on his face: "My parents, wife and children are all dead! On that ship just now! Do you know that because of the monsters last night, the ticket prices have increased across the board! Our family can only scrape together one ticket! We finally waited for the ticket price to return to normal! But the money I have left is only enough for me to buy four tickets! I lied to them and said I bought the second trip just to send them out safely! Now they have been blown to ashes in front of me! Tell me how I can hold on! Didn't you clean up those monsters one by one yesterday! Didn't you say it was safe and everything would be fine! Why is this happening!? Tell me why!"

"That's right! Didn't you say everything was fine? You clearly said you had wiped out all the monsters! But my son was still bitten by a monster that came out of nowhere last night! I watched him melt into a pool of blood in my arms! Now he can't even run away! How can you expect us to hold on!" Another couple in the crowd hugged their heads and cried, echoing him.

The crowd was outraged, and everyone's face was filled with pain and confusion.

People needed a backbone, and their eyes turned to the center of the crowd. Sergeant Tracy pursed his lips and could not utter a syllable.

In the past hundred years, the surrounding areas of the Blue Star Empire have been very peaceful. Although there have been some minor frictions, there has never been a war. In the past, he always hoped to have the opportunity to show his skills on the battlefield, but when this day came, looking at the devastated streets and the dead or injured people, he realized how stupid his previous thoughts were.

Tears burst out unconsciously, and he choked: "I...I'm sorry!"

There was complete silence as everyone looked at the officer crying.

Qiansui couldn't help but complain: "Please, what are you feeling sorry for! Report the matter to your superiors immediately and ask them to send troops for support! Break this dome and everyone can get out alive! Instead of crying here, why not think about how to solve the problem first?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiansui, thinking it was some advanced bionic pet. Earlier, when humans first established trade with the beastmen, they had invented similar pet-type robots, with language modules loaded by default. Some people had imported human language without authorization, but they could not think like humans.

Someone whispered, "I never thought that the Central Galaxy's gadgets have developed to this level. I also want a bionic cat that can talk."

Chitose said angrily: "Is this the time to care about pets?! You are almost dead! No, who is the pet? You are a bunch of stupid humans!"

While Qiansui was attracting everyone's attention, Lu Jinchao successfully hacked into the giant particle cannon brought by the military outside the crowd. He pressed a button and the giant particle cannon automatically charged. He dragged the crosshairs on the bracelet to aim at the invisible dome in the air, and the particle cannon blasted out, filling the air with a buzzing sound.

The dome showed no reaction, as if it had swallowed the particle cannon directly.

Sergeant Tracy was so scared that he rushed forward and tried to capture Lu Jinzhao. "How dare you use military weapons without authorization! Such behavior will be sent to a military court for trial!"

Lu Jinzhao dodged sideways, and Qiansui stepped on his back and rushed up, directly scratching Sergeant Tracy with his claws, leaving three bloody marks on his face. It stood on Lu Jinzhao's neck, arched its back, and was quite disappointed with Sergeant Tracy: "Idiot! Didn't you find that the dome doesn't reflect particle cannons!"

Tracy's soldiers collectively pointed their guns at Lu Jinzhao and Qiansui, and one of them shouted, "Put down your weapons! Put your hands up! Come with us!"

The atmosphere was deadlocked, and suddenly a foul smell emanated from the crowd.

It seems that someone has lost control of his bowels and bladder.

Everyone covered their noses and scattered, trying to stay away from the source of the smell. Soon, the source was exposed to everyone's sight.

The man's body began to twist strangely, his eyes rolled up so wide that his pupils could not be seen. His wife was at a loss, "Honey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Lu Jinzhao pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the man's forehead. Suddenly, dozens of lasers hit his head. They were the soldiers.

Chitose was almost speechless: "Can't you see that man is going to mutate? Why are you pointing the gun at us? Aim at that man!"

The man was still twisting and wriggling on the ground, laughing non-stop.

The crowd was so scared that they ran around hiding, but the woman refused to leave her husband and rushed over to hug him.

Sergeant Tracy seemed to have finally realized something was wrong and ordered some soldiers to surround the two. He saw that it was the couple who had just cried about the loss of their son, and he couldn't help but feel pity for them and stepped forward to say something.

"Hubby, don't scare me, ah!!!——"

The man bit the woman's shoulder and neck tightly, and soon a large piece of meat was torn off. The man chewed it twice and finally swallowed it whole.

"He's going to mutate! He's going to turn into that kind of monster! Shoot him quickly!" Some onlookers recognized the mutation process and retreated further away.

The officer who had scolded earlier took the first step and shot the man in the head. A big hole was pierced through the man's forehead, but he was still not dead. He just mechanically bit the woman's flesh like a hungry beast.

Seeing that the soldiers refused to give up aiming at him and no one stepped forward to help the woman, Lu Jinzhao sighed and fired two shots, one hitting the woman's forehead and the other hitting the man's brain stem.

They both fell down and didn't move anymore.

Sergeant Tracy couldn't believe it: "How dare you kill someone in the street?!"

Qiansui felt like he was going to be killed by this sergeant's stupidity. He rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you see that this man has mutated? He is no longer human, he is a monster! Being bitten by a monster will cause one to mutate! And that woman's aorta was bitten, and none of you dared to go up and treat her. She has no chance of survival! Why not give her a quick death!"

"Haven't you ever seen a zombie movie?!"

Sergeant Tracy was stunned: "What are zombies? What are movies?"

Chitose: “?”
