Future Shennong Space

A new day begins as Dark Sand's companion star rises from the sea.

When Ji Mingxiao woke up, Xiao was hugging him sideways, and his hands and feet were also on Xiao's body, holding him tightly.

His face was pressed against Xiao's chest, and Xiao's heartbeat could be clearly heard.

Last night, the two were resting on the beach.

Lying on the soft sand, looking at the sky full of stars, listening to the sound of the waves, can really relax people's mind.Especially lying next to a familiar person, surrounded by a familiar atmosphere, Ji Mingxiao finally fell asleep for the first time in a long time.

Looking up along his chest, he saw Xiao's chin with blue stubble, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards unconsciously.

He leaned forward slightly, kissed Xiao on the chin, and kissed again.

Obviously this little action was enough to wake people up from sleep, Xiao frowned and opened his eyes.

The eyes of the two met, Xiao blinked his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, then he lowered his head and kissed Ji Mingxiao's forehead.

"Morning, Xiaoxiao."

------------------------

The beach next to the sea is a desert, which stretches as far as the eye can see.The sand here is as white as cream, and the undulating dunes are clear and well-defined, against the background of the blue sky, there is an indescribable beauty.

If you are here to travel, the environment is really good, but if you want to walk through this endless desert, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will not be interesting.

The weather is fine, but apart from some small drought-tolerant vegetation, there is no shade at all that can block the sun.The feeling of driving in the desert under the sun is not comfortable, even wearing protective clothing makes people sweat all over.Not to mention that you will encounter some hidden dangers in the desert at any time, such as huge sandworms hidden under the sand, and groups of highly poisonous sand scorpions that are hard to guard against.

But fortunately, with Xiao, an experienced former mercenary leader, these dangers can be resolved or avoided.When encountering a single sandworm or a group of small scorpions, he also took the opportunity to instruct Ji Mingxiao to do some actual combat training, so as to increase his self-protection ability.

Because of the things that happened before, Ji Mingxiao learned very carefully, because he didn't want to always be in a very passive position when something happened.

Because he needs to hurry, he can't actually learn much.But with the blessing of spiritual power, he has made rapid progress in using the beam gun.

They had been walking in the desert for three days, and Xiao seemed to know where to go, rarely stopping to rest along the way.Ji Mingxiao followed beside him, and it was rare that he didn't fall behind at all.

They are not short of supplies.There is water and food in Ji Mingxiao's space, and when they packed their things before departure, they made some other discoveries.

The space button Wei returned to him still contained his original things, but there were many more nutrients and compressed water.The beam gun that was taken away by him at the beginning was also among them, and there were two other weapons, in addition to a purple crystal card and a bag of things similar to coins.

"This is the local currency and trading cards of Dark Sand Star." Xiao recognized those things at a glance. "In the pirate's stronghold, you can't expect the credit points of the Federation to work as well as in other places."

The earplug-like thing that Weisser gave him was also used by Xiao: "This can be used as a communicator, and it is also a small instant translator. Because of the special situation of the dark sand star, everyone has it, and the language is also very complicated. This It's still very useful."

After knowing that these things were all prepared by Wei, he showed a half-smile expression on his face, "It seems that Wei has considered you quite well."

Ji Mingxiao was still a little moved by these things at first, but when he heard this, he gave him a surprised look.

Xiao rubbed his hair, "When you really understand the Ansha Star, you will know how important these things are."

In order to rush over to save Ji Mingxiao, Xiao asked someone to pretend to be him to attend the welcoming ceremony.And after a while there will be a post-war award ceremony, and he will be promoted to general at the ceremony, which cannot be missed anyway, so they must find a way to return to the capital star as soon as possible.

The white sand in the desert began to be gradually replaced by yellow sand, the vegetation on the road began to increase, and oases began to appear.

When they marched for another day, they finally found a human-inhabited city in a large oasis.

Before entering the city, the two took off their protective clothing and changed into ordinary clothes.Ji Mingxiao put on his image simulation device again, and turned into a somewhat scruffy ordinary person.

Xiao hasn't shaved in the past few days, and now his face is full of stubble, and he looks a bit vicissitudes. People who are not familiar with him may not be able to tell that this person is the famous Federation God of War.

Compared with the Tuckerman Star or the Capital Star where Ji Mingxiao once stayed, the cities here are obviously much behind.There are no tall buildings in the city, and the commercial area is not prosperous. There are many bungalows and shantytowns near the suburbs.

What's strange is that there are many Ragu stars on the streets here.Their situation doesn't seem to be very good. Some people are begging on the street, and many people are being taken to a transport vehicle by recruiters. They can be vaguely heard talking about mining in nearby mines. Things, judging from the remuneration heard, are just some artificial food, and there is no monetary remuneration.

Ji Mingxiao couldn't help but glanced at Xiao, who was also looking at those people, frowning.But he didn't say anything, and silently led Ji Mingxiao through the crowd.

After settling in at an unassuming hotel, Shaw went out to scoop up news and didn't return until dark.When he came back, he had already changed into some common local attire, and he also brought clothes that Ji Mingxiao could wear.

Ji Mingxiao had already ordered dinner in advance, so he waited in his room for dinner together.

What Dark Sand Star lacks most are pirates and various mineral materials, but food is very scarce.All he wanted was simple food, but the price was obviously much higher than when he was on Star Tuckerman. Most importantly, the taste was really average, not even comparable to artificial food.

Xiao obviously couldn't whet his appetite for these things, but Ji Mingxiao picked a lot of fruits from the space and settled the dinner with them.

While eating dinner, the two talked about the news they heard today.

"This city is too small and there is no communicator that can reach the outside of the planet, but the day after tomorrow there will be an airship to Brooklyn, which is the largest city on Dark Sand, and we can contact rescue there." Xiao told him.

"The minerals in the star field near Dark Sand Star are very rich. There is the largest mineral material exchange in Brooklyn. Maybe we can drop by there to try our luck and see if we can find some top-level materials that can repair my mech. This machine A lot of top materials were used in the production of A, and it has been with me for a long time, it would be a pity if it could not be repaired.”

This silver mecha is the top mecha. It once accompanied Xiao to win the mecha league championship. Like its owner, it stole the limelight and helped him win many victories on the battlefield.This matter is really important, but...

"Do we have enough money?" Ji Mingxiao asked.The ring he gave Xiao was a rare material, and the price was impressive, and more similar materials would be needed to repair the mecha.

He was a little worried: "I don't know how much money is in that crystal card?"

"We won't use that card," Xiao Wei said with a straight face, "The ores and materials here are not as expensive as outside, and I will solve it myself."

Well, Ji Mingxiao shrugged his shoulders, expressing his understanding of his stubbornness, "When the time comes, I will accompany you to look for it, maybe I can be of some help."

Xiao nodded, and put a spoonful of soup into his mouth, then he frowned, "Perhaps what we need most now is to buy a set of kitchen utensils and put them in your space, to save my stomach first."

"Wait until we go back," Ji Mingxiao said, "Whatever you want to eat, we can do it."

In any case, after a few days in the desert, it was very satisfying to be able to eat hot food, take a hot shower, and sleep in a decent bed.

After a night's rest, the two wandered the nearby streets.

The city is not big, and there are only some ordinary shops in the commercial area, and there is not much traffic.However, there are indeed many shops here that sell ores and mech making materials, and the prices are indeed much cheaper than those outside.Unfortunately, the advanced materials Shaw needed were not available.

"Even if top-quality materials are found in nearby mines, they are sent to Brooklyn," the boss told them. "There is no market in this small place."

After coming out of this material store, they saw those Lagus on the street again. Many people were still recruited to the nearby mines, and there were even many children who looked only in their teens. With a blank face, he followed the adults onto the transport vehicle.

Looking at those children, Ji Mingxiao couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull Xiao, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with them?"

Xiao bowed his head and explained in his ear: "A large-scale Zerg invasion broke out in the Lagu Galaxy, and many planets have fallen. Many refugees who escaped from the fallen planets have fled to the Dark Sand Planet. What we see here is very little." In order to ensure safety, Dark Sand Star dealt with many people suspected of infection on their escape boat, and it is very lucky to be able to get here in the end.”

Ji Mingxiao was a little silent. Although he was fighting with the Ragu Stars before, this news and what he saw today would not make people feel happy.

After a day of rest in this small city, the two boarded an airship bound for Brooklyn.
