The first coquettish anchor of the empire [food]

Yu Xi's left and right hands behind his back were no longer moving. Since he already knew his situation, it was useless for him to struggle all the time.What's more, if he broke free, he might not be able to beat Mo Zhilan, and it might anger him.He can't drive a starship, let alone a starship.

Such a vast and boundless piece of nebula, if he got lost in it, he would basically have a dead end.

So he might as well talk to Mo Zhilan calmly, and see if he can get any information by the way...or know where he will be arriving in a while, in short, know as much as possible.

"Why did you kidnap me? I should have nothing against you, even... I thought you shouldn't hate me." This Yu Xi really didn't understand.

Obviously Mo Zhilan's attitude towards him was very friendly from the beginning. When he was framed and splashed with sewage, Mo Zhilan never showed any hostility towards him.

The starship has gradually entered the right track, the previous messy nebula cluster has been bypassed, and the current orbit is extremely clear.Mo Zhilan adjusted the mode, switched to the automatic driving position, and then turned his head to look at the boy in the passenger seat.

"Why? Maybe you look pretty, haha", he restrained himself after laughing, "I really don't hate you, I like you very much, Xixi, didn't you see that?"

Yu Xi sullenly refused to answer easily.

The young man was clearly handsome, but his eyes seemed to be hiding poisonous snakes, "You are very smart, and you know how to get your words from me, instead of wasting your efforts. It's not the same as those stupid imperial people..."

Yu Xi grasped a word sensitively, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you from the Empire?"

Mo Zhilan rested his chin, with a very comfortable expression: "Honey, I know you're talking nonsense, do you think I'll tell you?"

……

The empire opened a first-level blockade, vowing that not a single stardust can escape the empire's area.

Speaking of other people, I am afraid that the empire will not be so anxious.But now is the time when the Federation is visiting the country, and the person lost is the partner of the major general. The gangster is very likely to be a desperado, and he would rather take great risks than let the empire lose face.Moreover, the person he took away was a new generation of extremely outstanding talents. No matter what aspect it was, the empire would not forgive it.

The speed of the starship is so fast, it stands to reason that it is time to reach the border of the empire's star field, but Rongdi has not received any report from any starport that a suspicious starship is approaching.In other words, the gangsters held Yu Xi hostage and did not leave the Imperial Starfield.It's like playing hide and seek under the nose of a tiger. It's provocative.

And if he doesn't leave the empire, it will be even harder to track him.In fact, there are many unowned desolate stars in the empire area. Most of them either have poor living conditions or scarce resources. Those planets are generally used to exile prisoners, and no one will go there.So if the criminals really went there, it would be really difficult to investigate for a while.

Rong Di's eyebrows were twisted into a small pimple, and the people around him didn't dare to make a sound, and they all stood solemnly waiting for orders.

After a while, an officer stepped into the war hall to break the condensed atmosphere, "Report! Major General, the investigation results are out!"

"Say." Rong Di raised his eyelids, his gaze was as sharp as a sword.

The officer nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "The chef surnamed Mo who didn't go to accept the award, the test result of the information card is empty..."

"His optical brain information is false, it should be that he used hacking techniques to tamper with the information."

Every citizen of the empire will have his own optical brain, and the chips inside are unique.In other words, Mo Zhilan tampered with other people's optical brain information and used it for his own use, which is why he fooled all the review systems along the way.It's like going to the canteen to eat. The gangster swiped someone else's meal card, but changed that person's name to his own.

"Has the original owner of the chip deciphered it? What's its name?"

The officer's throat tightened, and he said dryly, "Duan, Duan Yan."

In an instant, everyone in the war room held their breath.Without him, this name has filled one of the most difficult battles in the Empire.

Rong Di's pale golden pupils shrank suddenly, and the color became pale, and his knuckles were crackling.He knew who Mo Zhilan was.

Duan Yan was a name that every imperial person hated.

A long time ago, when the interstellar hegemony had not yet been established and the interstellar world was still not peaceful, a war broke out between the empire and the Zerg.And Duan Yan is the chief of staff of the empire.

Originally, the empire had been looming in this war, and victory was in sight.But overnight, the empire's formation and ambush were all seen through, and the two sides launched another arduous tug-of-war.The physical fitness of the Zerg is stronger than that of the evolved Imperials, because their bodies consume energy at a very slow rate and have a small demand for food.If this continues, sooner or later, the soldiers of the empire will be defeated due to physical exhaustion.

At this time, Yu Heng, Yu Xi's father, applied to go to the front line and developed a potion that could stimulate the potential of Alpha soldiers in a short period of time. Only then did the empire turn the tide and win the victory, thus stabilizing its position in the interstellar world.It was also in that battle that Yu Xi's parents died heroically.

Everyone in the empire mourned, and the government gave Yuxi a lot of subsidies.But at that time, Yuxi's performance did not satisfy the people with high expectations, and a child with such a high background did not study hard in the best school.Moreover, because Yu Cheng's family fanned the flames and spread rumors everywhere, the masses thought that Yu Xi had bound the major with a marriage contract, and he didn't want to make progress. In the end, he threatened his body with his own body, which aroused public outrage and caused great controversy at the time.

Fortunately, all the grievances have been resolved now, but after the original battle, an astonishing thing was discovered.The reason why the Zerg were able to know the empire's battle plan so quickly at the beginning was because the empire had an inner ghost, and the inner ghost was Duan Yan.

He has been in office for many years, but his official position has never been promoted, and he was overwhelmed by Rongdu and others. In the end, he chose to collude with the Zerg in a flash of his head.Later, Duan Yan and his wife who helped him communicate with insiders were convicted of treason and sentenced.Their only child, Imperial Nian, was still young, and was sentenced to exile to Desolate Star and deprived of the rights of imperial citizenship for life.

Thinking about it now, Duan Yan probably thought that he would be found out, and exchanged the optical brain with Mo Zhilan's, so the optical brain in Mo Zhilan's hand has the high authority that Duan Yan once had.Mo Zhilan, is he here for revenge?

Then Yuxi's situation is not optimistic, and he remembers that Mo Zhilan is obviously...

Rong Di stood up abruptly, and issued an order with a gloomy expression, "Check all the desolate stars in the empire area!"

……

On this side, Yu Xi and Mo Zhilan had already arrived at their destination.

Yu Xi's first impression of this place was that it was barren.There are dry, water-retaining sandy soils, and very few greens. There are lakes, but the water quality seems to be very poor, and it looks dirty from a distance.

Mo Zhilan took a knot tied around Yu Xi's wrist and walked unhurriedly.In the short city walls, there are always people who come out to secretly observe this unfamiliar alien brought back by Mo Zhilan. While they are observing Yu Xi, Yu Xi is also observing them.

"Didn't expect that the empire is still so poor." Mo Zhilan didn't turn his head, but he could guess Yu Xi's reaction.

"People here are all abandoned. Although their parents or grandparents have made any mistakes, they have been like this all their lives, living in this kind of place. Some people, this is here when they open their eyes, and they may think that outside The world here is as bitter as it is here." Mo Zhilan's voice sounded sarcasm, "You are beautiful and clean, that's why they are so surprised. Just get used to it."

Listening to his words, Yu Xi happened to meet the ignorant gaze of the previous child looking at him, felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and said nothing.

They were dressed very poorly, and most of them looked just curious and shy like they had never seen a stranger before, without any malice.Some people even let out small exclamations while touching their faces, as if they were praising Yuxi's good looks.

Mo Zhilan took him to a building that seemed to have the most complete facilities in this area, passing a long corridor and passing a large central control room.Yu Xi glanced inside, there were several light screens inside, densely packed with data.

"Don't look at things you shouldn't look at." Mo Zhilan said with a smile.

Yu Xi quickly looked away, although he couldn't understand anything.

He was taken to a small room at the end of the corridor. There was only a very low bed and a very low chair in the room, which were gone.Mo Zhilan took out another thick rope from nowhere, tied Yu Xi's right ankle to the bedpost tightly, then raised his chin, and warned him: "Don't try to slip out from here."

"Of course, don't even think about Rong Di coming to save you. If he dares to come, I will kill you right away, so that he can also feel... the feeling of losing his beloved. But if you promise me to stay here, maybe I can let you go ..."

Yu Xi turned her head and broke away from his hand, her beautiful peach eyes raised proudly as if she had been irritated.

Mo Zhilan's hand that was in the air slowly tightened into a fist, with bulging veins.Yu Xi was out of breath for a moment, as if the air had been sucked dry.

He widened his eyes in horror, this coercion, without thinking about it, knows that it cannot be issued by ###.Mo Zhilan is Alpha? !

Yu Xi moved back vigilantly in an instant, not daring to relax any more.Mo Zhilan seemed very satisfied with his reaction, restrained his momentum, and lightly stroked Yu Xi's hair, "Understood? If Rong Di can give you, I can too."

"So you'd better save some snacks and have a good rest. If you get hungry later, someone will bring you food, Xixi, you can only feel wronged in this kind of place." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

Only then did Yu Xi breathe a sigh of relief, and tried to break free from the thick rope that restrained him, but he didn't move at all, so he had to force himself to calm down and sort out the information he got now.

According to Mo Zhilan, the people who live here should be people who have done something wrong and were fined to live here.So according to this logic, Mo Zhilan should be too.So he has a grudge against the empire?But he has the ability to escape from here, why should he tie himself back to this place?

Yu Xi couldn't figure it out, but suddenly the door rang, and he was so frightened that he hurried back to his senses and looked in the direction of the door vigilantly.

The one who poked his head out was a boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. He gave Yu Xi a shy look, and then walked in with a box in his arms.

"Are you hungry? I brought you something to eat." The young man sat on the low stool, raised his head and said to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi wanted to say no, but her stomach grumbled a little.

Yu Xi: "..."

The young man looked very happy, and said with a smile, "Eat it! I brought you the one I just made today, and it's the best looking one!"

Yu Xi's trip to being robbed this time consumed some energy.He only hated that he didn't finish all the delicious scallion fried dumplings this morning, and now he was unbelievably hungry.

The boy lifted the lid, and inside was a steamed bun with thick noodles that had cooled down.The surface of the steamed buns is pitted, and the grains look big, so you don't need to think about how rough the mouthfeel is.The color is still yellow, and there seems to be grain husk inside, which is the kind of food that makes people lose their appetite at first sight.

Yu Xi was a little surprised.He would understand if it was food for the hostages.But the kid said that this is the best-looking one he picked, so the other bad ones...wouldn't it be more difficult to enter.

Seeing that he didn't pick it up, the child thought it was because he disliked it, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is mixed with rice husks, which will make you fuller after eating. It's a good thing."

Yu Xi's eyes were a bit complicated, "...I, my hands are tied. It's okay, I'm not too hungry, you can leave it for now."

Adding rice husks just makes it harder to digest, how can it be a good thing.

The child let out an oh, and became happy again, "Then I'll go and wash my hands, and I'll give you something to eat when I come back."

"Hey" Yu Xi called to stop him, "Do you usually eat this?"

The clothes the child wears are very simple, the skin has become dark and dark under the long-term exposure, the arms are small, and it looks malnourished.His eyes were innocent, and he said generously: "No, we eat less of this, and it is used to entertain guests. Many other wild vegetables are very bitter, and you should not be used to eating them when you first come here."

"Flour or something, we can't buy it here. Brother Mo brought it back from outside. He is very capable. He has to work for a long time every day, so we can't disturb him." The child was innocent and did not wait for Yuxi to ask. , I explained everything to Barabara.

Yu Xi suddenly couldn't bear to eat that ugly steamed bun, and asked him: "When I came in, I clearly saw that you have lakes, ponds and the like, wouldn't you catch some fish and the like?"

The child waved his hand, "There is nothing good to eat in that water. There are water bugs in it, which can pinch people, and it hurts. The bugs are also ugly, and you can't eat them just by looking at them."

Yu Xi thought for a while, this is the desolate star, and the animals might have changed slightly, but it shouldn't change too much.So I asked, "The water bug you mentioned, what does it look like?"

The child looked at him suspiciously, not knowing that he was so beautiful, and kept asking what the ugly bug did, but he honestly said, "It's just ugly. It has a big head, feet on top of its head, and protruding eyes." When it moves, it curls up and down, it's disgusting. And the shell is still very hard, it hurts when you knock it, so be careful not to touch it."

Yu Xi followed the child's description and made a circle in his mind.Um?It always feels like something familiar...

Could it be... a lobster?
