I became the chief secretary of the empire by raising pigs

Li Song and Wei Zong are in big trouble.

None of them heard Captain Jin's yell, but even if Li Jin heard it, he would probably laugh at him for being single.How can a single dog understand the mood of these little mandarins?

"I turned off your positioning. If there is an accident on the landing, the two of us may be bounced away. Remember, don't run around, find a nearby bunker and wait for me!"

Wei Zong leaned over, fastened his breathing mask tightly for Li Jin, and finally looked at Li Jin firmly, bowed his head and kissed him hard on the forehead.

"Sleep well, and we'll be safe when we wake up." After speaking, he reached out and turned on the sleep switch on Li Jin's side, and the gas poured in, and the other party quickly fell asleep.

Wei Zong fell back to his cabin.

Just as he was about to pull down the hatch cover, the equipment area vibrated violently. A three-meter-long black cone pierced through the metal wall at high speed. The mouthparts at the end of the cone opened. Rolled out on the spot.

"Hold!"

Wei Zong slammed the hatch open, and the black shield slammed on the ground, blocking the rescue cabin.

"Where's the guardian—" A pirate didn't finish speaking, and a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes.

Wei Zong jumped out from above the shield, spotted one of them, and took advantage of his unawares, clamped his knees and twisted it hard—click, the pirate's neck was broken by him.He bent backwards with strength, fell to the ground, and smashed the body to another person with force.

Another pirate had barely pulled the trigger when he was knocked head-on by the corpse of his companion.

"Hmm!!" Just as Wei Zong avoided the pulse beam, a slender black tubular esophagus popped out of the tunnel worm's mouthparts, puffing through his back.

He pulled out the dagger with his backhand and cut the esophagus, and ran back to the escape cabin without looking back.

[Countdown five seconds——]

"Huh, huh..."

Wei Zong closed the hatch and pressed the launch button.The escape pod leaned back and began to glide towards the outer track.

Fortunately, just one second before the Constitution exploded, a burst of blue streamer erupted from the escape capsule, flew out of the atmosphere at super high speed, and entered the warp space.The surrounding area instantly became extremely quiet, and the gunpowder smoke outside the cabin and the storm of flying beetles all disappeared.

The escape pod shows that they will leave the warp space after fifteen days and choose a suitable place to release.Because of this, they had to go together no matter what, otherwise when they woke up, they would probably be separated.

Wei Zong was stiff for a long time before slowly relaxing.

He panted violently, looked down at his right shoulder blade, there was still a ten-centimeter-long esophagus remnant outside the wound, which was slowly wriggling, and the dark blue tumors on it continuously ejected yellow acidic liquid, corroding the wound.

"It's disgusting... Fuck." He prepared himself mentally, gritted his teeth, grabbed the slippery and sticky esophagus, and pulled it out suddenly, a burning and pungent smell suddenly rose in the narrow cabin taste.

pat-

The worm's esophagus was thrown to the ground by him, and without the parasite, it quickly solidified into a black hard solid.

Wei Zong raised his hand, the palm of which was covered with dense blisters, and his hand was trembling uncontrollably.He glanced at Li Jin and thought to himself, fortunately, the little curly hair was already asleep, so he couldn't see him in such a mess.

An escape capsule is not a rescue capsule, and there is no intelligent program that automatically treats wounds.

He had to find his own first aid kit and hastily treat the wound.This damned tunnel worm didn't know what virus he was carrying. His wound was itchy and stinging, and it quickly became red and swollen in a short period of time, and bloody tissue fluid continued to flow out.

Wei Zong struggled to clean the wound. There was no medicine to deal with the venom of the tunnel worm in the first aid kit. He could only put on the breathing mask, hoping that half a month of dormancy would help his body recover automatically.He lay back, turned his head and stared at Li Jin quietly.

Before his consciousness became blurred, Wei Zong reached out and took Li Jin's hanging left hand.

Gava waste star.

Alliance Ephemeris January 1.

The first two moons of the year appeared in the sky.

Two blood-red crescent moons hung high in the dark night sky, reflecting an ominous scarlet on the earth.

In the wasteland area of ​​thousands of square kilometers, some people are still bending over, using hooked metal strips to rummage through the discarded metal garbage, hoping to find some recyclable circuit boards or useful metals.

On a double-moon night, the radiation in the wasteland area will be one-third higher than usual, but acid rain will definitely not fall this night.So many, despite everything, see the night as a rare chance to make some extra money.

After all, radiation is like a chronic disease to them, and there doesn't seem to be much difference between living 20 and 25 years.Acid rain is different, if not well protected, acid rain of some intensity can even burn a person's skin into a hornet's nest.

Ugin struggled over an abandoned gate seven to eight meters high, and landed in the garbage alley on the other side.He crouched in front of the gate and leaned closer to check, wanting to see if there were any recyclable parts on it.

"Useless trash..." he muttered in disappointment, standing up and kicking the gate.This place is so tightly blocked, he thought there would be good things that hadn't been picked up by anyone, but in the end, not to mention good things, not even a single screw was left!

Ugin scratched the back of his peeling neck, and walked forward, beating around with the metal probing stick in his hand. Occasionally, a huge mouse would come out of some garbage, making him jump in fright.

Just kidding, the mice in the wasteland have mutated, not only big, but also poisonous!

Fortunately, he struggled to open the door for half an hour tonight, and the result was not bad.The more he went in, the less traces of other people had been inside, and the more recyclable things around.

Ugin had only been walking for 10 minutes, and on the surface of the garbage dump, he picked up [-] circuit boards, including an operation panel of an old-fashioned mech, a quarter of which is pretty good!In addition, he picked up a strong magnet, half a bottle of power furnace antifreeze, and a chipped china plate.

These things can probably buy him more than half a month's rations. In the coming acid rain season, he can at least not have to carry it out.If he saves some food, he can hide at home until next month.

The biggest gain of this trip is not these.

"what is this……?"

Ugin stared and opened his mouth.

He was standing deep in the dump, surrounded by metal trash that had piled up to obscure the night sky.He stood there, with a transparent ball embedded in the garbage mountain in front of him.

The sphere was very large, several times his diameter.It is said to be transparent, but in fact only the side facing him, a small piece is transparent, but at this time it seems to be covered with a layer of fog and dust, making it difficult to see clearly inside.

Ugin's heart was beating so hard that he ignored the itching and pain on his body from the radiation.

He stood for a long time, until his legs were numb, before he walked up to the ball step by step.After getting closer, he realized that the thing was bigger than he saw from a distance, and he had to tiptoe to touch the transparent material.

looks like...

Like the kind of thing that pretends to be a person.

Ugin sucked in a thin breath, as if a scene he had seen before appeared in front of his eyes.From the sky of the wasteland, many luminous things flew past, which looked better than airships. Inside those flying objects were some people from the upper city, wearing high-grade protective clothing, and stepped on their ground, like stepping on excrement , His face was full of disgust.

He pulled his sleeve and wiped it, and wiped off the floating dust on the outside, and finally he could barely see inside.

"Wow - there are real people!"

Wujin's small face was shocked, and he grabbed the protruding ball and pressed it hard against the transparent window to look in.The inside of this thing is pitch black, and only the outlines of two people lying half-lying can be barely seen, and there is a circle of light spots flickering from time to time around it.

He looked at it for a long time, and his feet hurt on tiptoe, so he had to squat down temporarily to rub his feet,

Is it dead or alive here?

He just sat on the ground and looked up at the ball with his chin up.The exterior is bare, and there is nothing that can be disassembled. The inside is still glowing, indicating that the machine is still operating normally.

If he can take this thing apart, the circuit boards inside must be intact!He sells it once a month, and he can exchange for enough rations, maybe he can eat it until he grows up...

Ugin made up his mind, standing up and examining the ball.He observed for a while, and found that the thing didn't seem to be buried, but fell by itself, just fell into the garbage dump, stuck there and couldn't get out.

He didn't even have the strength to pry it out. If the garbage mountain was collapsed, he wouldn't even have time to run.

"I'll try..."

He said a few words to himself, held the probe with both hands, raised the end with the metal hook, then shouted, and smashed hard at the transparent glass-like window.

Ding--

In the dark night, a string of sparks was thrown out by the hook head, but the transparent window remained motionless.

Panting for breath, Ugin gritted his teeth and smashed it several times in a row.He regretted it while exerting all his strength, if he couldn't smash the window, he would have lost all his energy for the piece of stinky dried meat he gnawed in the evening!

However, not only did he lose his strength in vain, the spherical object suddenly started to vibrate, and from the window, he could see the flickering red light inside, reflecting with the twin moons above his head, as if warning him.

He dropped his stick with a bang, and took several steps back in fear.He raised his head to look at the rubbish mountain, because the ball was constantly vibrating, the rubbish mountain in front of him had already started to drop things, and it might collapse at any time!

Just when he was about to run away, the ball suddenly stopped vibrating, and made a crisp clicking sound, and a gap suddenly appeared on the smooth surface.

Ugin stopped.

"..."

Like a little mouse, he finally couldn't stand the temptation and returned to the ball with small steps.He picked up a thick scrap alloy brick, stepped on it, grasped the gap with both hands, and pulled hard——the gap bounced up suddenly!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Wujin was small and weak, so he was lifted up with his hands on the edge of the hatch, and then his whole body fell on the inside of the hatch, and as soon as he let go, he fell into the escape cabin.He fell completely dizzy and lay face down on the ground between the two cabins, crying in pain.

After Li Song regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was this cry.

"What the hell..."

He struggled to wake up and couldn't help complaining, why did Wei Congcong learn from him even when he cheated?How on earth did you manage to be so childish?Incredible...
