Interstellar: The correct way to become cannon fodder in a book

The architectural style of Attar is very different from that of Blue Star, and most of the houses here are low-rise buildings.

Because of the cold weather, most people here wear thick clothes.

There was a thin layer of snow on the houses and public facilities.

The road shows signs of regular cleaning.

Pedestrians walked with their heads down in the snow. The road was very slippery, so most people walked extremely slowly.

Yun Ran put on his hat and walked quietly.

She came to a convenience store, looked at the store name, took off her mask and walked in.

The store was very warm and the heating was on high. Yun Ran took off his coat and put it on his arm and walked towards the rest area in the convenience store.

There sat a young man.

The boy was wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and a pair of casual pants.

There was a shallow wound on Junyi's cheek. The boy was holding a book in his hand and supporting his chin with one hand.

It looks like he is reading a book.

Yun Ran sat down opposite the boy, but the boy didn't seem to notice her. She looked at the boy for a while, flexed her fingers and tapped the table.

Yun Yu put down the book in his hand when he heard the noise, and raised his eyes to look at the girl in a white dress sitting opposite him.

Yun Ran's hair was long and casually draped over her shoulders. She looked at Yun Yu without fear, then curved her eyes.

"Brother, long time no see."

Yun Yu looked at the little girl in front of him. He was two years older than Yun Ran. When they parted, the little girl was only as tall as his chest. Now, when he looked at her again, he found that Yun Ran had grown a lot taller.

Yun Yu sat up straight and smiled.

"Long time no see, Xiaoran."

The boy's voice was clear and clean, with a hint of hoarseness in it.

Like the sound of a mountain waterfall hitting rocks.

Yun Ran stretched lazily, looked at the boy opposite with affectionate eyes, holding a black lace fan in his hand.

This was given to her by Lillian, and Yun Ran once said this to Lillian with a smile.

"Why did you give me a useless fan on such a cold day?"

Yun Ran held the handle of the fan in one hand, tapped it in his palm, and looked directly at the brother in front of him whom he hadn't seen for half a year.

She felt that the brother in front of her who was still smiling at her seemed to have changed, becoming more calm and indifferent.

There is always a faint sadness on his face... Yun Ran narrowed his affectionate eyes and glanced up and down at Yun Yu.

The brother and sister have been very close since childhood because of the small age difference between them. They dislike each other, but they also love each other deeply.

Yun Ran asked Yun Yu directly about the topic.

"Why did you come here alone? Where are mom and dad?"

"I haven't seen them for half a year. Are they very busy? No time to pick me up?"

"By the way, how have you and mom been since I disappeared half a year ago?"

"But seeing you standing here well, you and mom should be fine. Those space pirates should have been dealt with by dad."

Yun Ran spoke a lot without stopping. She changed her usual quiet image and started to talk more.

In front of her brother, she seemed to have returned to her old self as a little princess.

There are only two children in her family, she and her brother.

She is the only daughter in the family.

Her parents dote on her very much, and even her brother who often quarrels with her always indulges and dotes on her.

Therefore, Yun Ran is always more casual in front of them.

It’s not that Yun Ran’s lack of closeness to Lillian’s family is bad for her. On the contrary, Lillian’s family are all very good people.

If it weren't for them, Yun Ran might have died on that cold winter day.

However, Yun Ran will always be more confident in front of his relatives.

Yun Yu looked at her sister who was talking nonstop and still smiled, but her smile was a little sad.

He didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Yun Ran finish what he wanted to say.

It’s a pity that Yun Ran didn’t notice the flash of sadness in Yun Yu’s eyes.

After Yun Ran finished asking this long list of questions, he took a sip of water and looked at Yun Yu with affectionate eyes full of anticipation.

Yun Yu met Yun Ran's gaze and turned his head away in embarrassment.

He tightened his grip on the book in his hands.

Yun Yu's throat was a little dry, but he still answered with a smile.

"Well, Dad had something to do so he didn't make it here."

"Don't worry, those space pirates who caught up with us have been wiped out by my father."

Yun Ran nodded after hearing Yun Yu's words. He was about to ask something else when he was interrupted by Yun Yu.

"Didn't you mention three people in the information you passed on?"

"The family saved you, so they are our benefactors. Take me to meet them. I also want to see what the person who saved you looks like."

Yun Yu's smile was forced, and his fingertips were white from the force.

When Yun Ran heard her brother's words, she smiled and nodded. She couldn't wait to take her brother to meet Lillian and the others.

Lillian and the others are very nice people, and I believe my brother will like them too.

It’s a pity that after meeting them, I might have to leave here with my brother. Thinking of this, Yun Ran couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss, but that loss was fleeting.

It doesn’t matter. I can come to see them often. This place is actually not far from Blue Star.

The galaxy to which Atal belongs does not belong to any country. It is a lawless galaxy.

Whether it is the Yunhua Empire, the Caesar Empire, or other countries, they all tacitly acknowledge that this place is independent of the four countries and other countries.

This galaxy is another special existence besides the Interstellar Police.

Therefore, this place became the habitat of those extremely vicious people and also the garrison of space pirates.

There are unexpectedly many interstellar pirates here.

As for why everyone defaults to ignoring this galaxy, it is mainly because the geographical location of the galaxy where Attar is located is very bad.

Not to mention that most of the planets there are not habitable, even the internal environments of the few planets that are habitable are extremely harsh.

Take Atal for example. The temperature there is dozens of degrees below zero all year round, and sometimes even hundreds of degrees below zero.

More importantly, there are not many development resources in this galaxy, which are dispensable for a country.

Moreover, this galaxy has been unattended for too many years, and the forces inside are complicated and intertwined, so it is not easy to annex this galaxy.

It takes a lot of effort just to deal with the interstellar pirates inside.

The people in power in these countries are not fools, so why would they do such a thankless task?

And even if we are lucky enough to occupy this galaxy, we will face a bigger problem.

Governance issues.

This galaxy has been occupied by interstellar pirates and other extremely vicious criminals for many years, and its governance has long been in chaos.

The planet Attar is relatively good, as it is located on the edge of this galaxy.

Next to it is the Caesar Empire, so the order here is not so chaotic.

There are also relatively few interstellar pirates.

Yun Ran curled her eyes again when she thought of this. She felt that today might be the happiest day of her life in the past few months.

She saw the family she had been missing day and night.

"Okay, let's go, brother. I'll take you to meet them. I tell you, Lillian and the others are really nice people."

Yun Ran put on her coat, stood up and went to hold her brother's hand, and Yun Yu was pulled up by Yun Ran.

The brother and sister walked towards the outside of the store.

As Yun Ran walked, he talked to Yun Yu about how nice Lillian's family was.

"Brother, Lillian's mother is really amazing. She has a laboratory filled with many strange and bizarre things."

"She did all that. I've never seen anyone so amazing."

"In my heart, she is the most amazing inventor. She is also very gentle and her cooking is delicious, especially her braised fish, which is super delicious."

"And Lillian's father. You may think he's cold when you meet him later, but he's actually a nice guy. He's not as cold as he looks."

"He is a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Oh, and there is also Lillian."

As soon as Yun Ran mentioned Lillian, he started talking more and more.

"It was Lillian who took me back to her home and took care of me. If it weren't for her, I might have died and you wouldn't have been able to see your dear sister."

"Lillian is very kind and very cute. She has a good temper too. I believe you will like Lillian very much when you meet her."

Yun Yu, who was being led by her, also smiled and agreed with Yun Ran's words.

This scene felt inexplicably familiar.

Yun Ran's cheeks were red after talking for so long, purely because of excitement.

The brother and sister walked towards Lillian's house very quickly.

While walking, Yun Yu seemed to be infected by Yun Ran's happy mood. The sadness between his brows disappeared and he revealed a gentle smile.

Yun Ran had very good eyesight and she could vaguely see the wooden house not far away.

"Almost there, brother."

Yun Ran let go of Yun Yu's hand, started to jog, and turned back to say to Yun Yu while running.

"Hurry up, brother."

Yun Ran ran very fast and disappeared in a short while.

Yun Yu looked at her sister in front of her and laughed out loud, then she started running, following closely behind Yun Ran.

But when Yun Yu caught up with Yun Ran, he found Yun Ran standing there alone.

What meets the eye is a sea of ​​blood red.

……

tick tock...tick tock...

Blood stained the snow-white ground, and in the pool of blood was someone she was familiar with.

Yun Ran just stood there in a daze, the bright red blood constantly stinging her eyes.

Maybe it was too painful, and I couldn't control my tears.

Tears slid down her white cheeks and dripped onto the snow, mixing with the bloody footprints on the ground.

This was the scene Yun Yu saw when he walked forward.

A large amount of blood was splattered all over the wooden house and the ground, and two people were lying in the pool of blood.

One male and one female.

The man was half-kneeling on the ground in a protective posture, protecting a girl behind him. Blood was flowing down from his neck and dripping onto the ground.

His trouser legs were soaked with blood, and at his feet was a broken gun.

The man's body was covered with wounds, including knife and gunshot wounds.

But the most eye-catching thing was the dagger on his chest that was dripping with blood.

Behind him is a girl.

The girl was wearing a red dress, and it was unclear whether it was the original color or stained red by blood.

The girl's long golden hair was scattered on the ground in a mess.

She had her eyes tightly closed, with a bloody bullet hole between her eyebrows.

Blood was flowing out from there continuously, dyeing the not-so-white neck red.

The light brain next to her was broken into two halves, and a small robot was lying on the other side.

Yun Ran looked at the scene in front of her, tears silently flowing down her face.

She walked forward with difficulty, and each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Before she had taken two steps, Yun Ran half-knelt on the ground as if she was exhausted, her white skirt spread out, stained red by the blood on the snow.

The white dress was originally clean and flawless, but unfortunately it was stained.

Yun Ran supported herself on the ground with her hands, trying her best to calm herself down and she struggled to get up from the ground.

Stumbling towards the two figures.

She walked over to the man, tears mixing with her trembling voice.

"Uncle...Uncle...Are you okay? Uncle..."

Unfortunately, the only answer she got was the faint sound of her skirt blowing up by the cold wind.

Her hands were stained red.

Yun Ran looked at the blood on her hands, the blood on her skirt, and the two people in front of her...

There is nothing she doesn't understand. She understands it all, but she just doesn't want to accept it.

She staggered to the girl covered in blood.

"Lillian... wake up, Lillian... don't scare me, don't scare me, I'm scared."

She gently shook the girl in front of her and pretended to be calm, but her trembling voice still exposed her panic...

It was a pity that she still didn't get a response, and she would never hear that always cheerful and lively voice again.

The cold wind blew her black hair, but there was only a buzzing sound in her ears.

Yun Ran seemed to be hallucinating, she seemed to hear Lillian's voice.

Although the voice was cheerful, it was sad.

"Xiao Ran, you have to be well... you have to be well..."

Yun Ran hugged the girl tightly in his arms.

She held her close as if she had never left.

It was clearly agreed that she would bring her family over so that they could have a good reunion.

I obviously said goodbye.

We clearly agreed to come back here together in 10 years.

"You broke your promise, Lillian."

The cold wind blew away the sound.

There was plenty of sunshine today, and it wasn’t as cold as usual, but Yun Ran felt freezing cold all over.

Her heart ached, as if a knife was stabbing into it and constantly stirring it.

Yun Ran finally couldn't control himself anymore and burst into tears while hugging the girl in front of him.

"Lillian... Lillian... Don't scare me, Lily, wake up, Lillian..."

"Lillian, I beg you, really... I really beg you, Lillian..."

"I will never complain about your nagging again... I just ask you to wake up, Lillian..."

It’s a pity that the girl in front of her can no longer call her Xiaoran sweetly, and can no longer make faces on purpose to make her laugh.

"Lillian, you are a little liar, a little liar who loves to wear red dresses..."

Yun Yu had never seen her sister like this before, broken down, helpless, desperate, as if she was abandoned.

She was jumping up and down just a second ago, wanting to introduce her benefactor to him, but the next second she saw this scene.

Yun Yu shed a tear for some reason.

He thought he could understand his sister's current mood.

As for my mother...I'll talk to her later.

He was afraid that she couldn't bear it.
