My master and I are on the garbage star
Chapter 15
Two furtive figures shuttled through the Gobi Desert.
They were not running around aimlessly, they were following a woman in the distance with a purpose.
Women move very fast, but they have also been tempered by poverty for a long time. Although it is a bit difficult, they can keep up with the speed of women and hang far behind.After traveling four kilometers quickly, the woman seemed to be tired and sat on a rock to rest.The two stalkers were finally able to stop and catch their breath.
They hid behind a ruin, making sure they could spot the woman they were following without being spotted by her.
One of them untied the water bag from his waist, and instead of drinking it himself, handed it to his companion, saying respectfully, "Mr. Hu, are you thirsty? Drink it first."
Teacher Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and pushed the water bag back with a smile: "I drank water before I came out. Young people consume a lot, so you keep it for yourself."
The man who delivered the water looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was really thirsty, so he didn't refuse any more. He raised his head and took a big sip of water, and licked the water stains from the corners of his lips after drinking.
"I still have a lot left, if you want to drink, tell me."
"Hey." Teacher Hu's smile became brighter and brighter - he is a half-hearted teacher, this boy is his student, but he has learned to respect his teacher, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.
After Mr. Hu was happy, he asked the boy: "Haikuo, tell me—that lady won't find us following her, right?"
"It's so far away, no one can find it!" The boy named Haikuo patted his chest to confirm the ticket, and then took out a small cylinder from his pocket, "Boss wants us to follow her, so lend me this, even if we go If you stay far away, you can still find her."
After finishing speaking, Hai Kuo poked his head out from the pile of ruins, tried the electronic telescope in his hand triumphantly, and looked directly at the woman resting in the distance with one eye open.The electronic telescope is very powerful, and even the bumps on the woman's face can be seen clearly.
The woman was eating the nutrient solution in her mouth. After sucking it, she suddenly looked towards Haikuo.
Haikuo shook his hand, thinking: "Coincidence?" He remained unchanged, and then the woman smiled in his direction, revealing the hand that was originally hidden under the cloak, and lifted it up.
In the electronic telescope, Hai Kuo saw a dark gun pointing directly at him.
He knew it was the muzzle because the boss had a gun too.He had seen the power of a gun.
Haikuo slipped and fell to the ground in an instant, his mind was buzzing.
Teacher Hu was frightened, patted him on the shoulder and asked anxiously, "Kuozi, what's the matter?"
Haikuo tightly hugged the electronic telescope to his chest.It wasn't that he cared about the telescope, but that his nervousness made him involuntarily grasp the thing in his hand.After a while, Hai Kuo exhaled tremblingly, and looked at Teacher Hu with horror in his eyes: "She has a gun in her hand! Did she shoot? Did she shoot?"
"Gun!?" Teacher Hu was also startled, "Are you sure you saw clearly? I didn't hear the gunshot."
"She pointed a gun at me..." Hai Kuo was quick-witted and finally realized the most important thing, "She found us!"
Teacher Hu's expression became solemn, and he took Haikuo's arm to lift him up from the ground, but he didn't let him straighten up, and arched his back together with him.Teacher Hu lowered his voice and warned: "Don't raise your body too high, it will not be so easy for her to aim. Let's run quickly."
Haikuo knew that Mr. Hu was a man of insight, so naturally he would not disobey him.Leave the ruins where you are hiding with Mr. Hu, and flee towards the village.
"Teacher, there is a rock ahead."
"Okay, let's run to these sheltered places."
The teacher and the student tried not to make any noise, ran to the rock a hundred meters away, and hid behind.After hiding, the two discussed: "Teacher, why don't we see if the woman has followed?" "Okay."
The two poked their heads out together and looked in the direction where the woman was resting, but found that there was no one there, and there was no trace of her in the field of vision.The two had the same thought: "Did the woman leave?"
Afterwards, they all felt their waists tightened, as if they were being pulled by someone and fell heavily to the ground like a rag doll.They looked up and saw the smiling woman who was being followed, with cold sweat dripping down her back.
Haikuo's mind went blank, but Mr. Hu was still able to think. He thought: "We followed this woman at least 500 meters away, and we fled for another hundred meters. It won't take more than half a minute to find out, how could this woman appear here!?"
So why are women here?The answer is: ran over.

Li Yuan's physical fitness is naturally different from that of "ordinary people".As the most elite fighter of the Xichu star collar, his body has been strengthened by technology, and after various training and beatings, he can run 30 meters in 600 seconds without having to take a breath.
She found out that she was being followed a long time ago, and decided to "dispose" of the two little tails halfway - she was too close to the village to fear that they would find reinforcements, and too close to Yuanxiao to fear that they would find clues, so she started at halfway through the journey.
Li Yuan smiled, playing with a dagger in her hand - this dagger was not hers, it was snatched from the young man just now, it was made of pure iron.This dagger was also the only weapon they had on them. If Li Yuan took it, it would be impossible for them to pose a threat to her.
"How? Are you still following me?"
The two stalkers fell to the ground in fright: "No, no, no..."
Li Yuan just wanted to scare them off, and she would not harm civilians unless it was absolutely necessary.She felt that she had revealed her inviolability in terms of force, and when they went back, they would tell the village leader who had a gun.From now on, if the village wants to touch her again, it will weigh it carefully.
"This dagger is good, I'll keep it." Li Yuan threw the dagger upwards, and then firmly clamped the blade of the falling dagger with her fingers, "Do you want to keep it with me?"
Li Yuan had a smile on her lips, her beautiful eyes showed a chill.
The stalkers howled "I don't want to" and ran away scrambling.
Li Yuan looked at their pissed-off backs, and suddenly felt better.While keeping an eye on his surroundings, he continued on his way home.
***
Chu Silan tried to see the scene in front of her clearly.
Her vision was hazy, as if she were looking through an unfocused camera lens.She heard a few girls laughing lightly, and thought, "I seem to be sitting somewhere."
"Like in a classroom."
"Is this the academy star?"
The academy star is located near the imperial capital star in the central galaxy, and has a pleasant climate.There are about 16 million floating population on the planet, of which [-]% are scientific researchers and [-]% are students.It is the academic center of the entire civilization. There are countless large and small colleges and universities rooted here, and all major star leaders have consulates here.Chu Silan has been studying here since she was [-] years old.
The scene in front of her gradually became clear, and Chu Silan breathed a sigh of relief in the familiar classroom.
"So I went back to Academy Star... Where did I come back from?" Chu Silan tried hard to remember, as if she was about to remember, but she was attracted by the girl sitting in front of her.
This is the classroom where Chu Silan goes to school. The seats are stepped, forming a semicircle around the central teaching screen.Class has not started yet, the two female students sitting in front, one is from Dongfang Xingling, waving a fan slowly in his hand; the other is from Beimingxingling, taking off the rosary beads on his wrist and playing with .The two of them put their heads together, talking in a low voice, laughing slightly from time to time.
"It's a classmate I know, so who is sitting next to me?"
Chu Silan twisted her neck to look at the person sitting next to her, and it turned out to be a beast in clothes that she wished to be ashes—Xiao Suoyan!
Chu Silan picked up the pen on the table, trying to stab the dead man to death.
"Ahem!" The loud cough scared Chu Silan to a halt, and hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.The teaching screen lights up, revealing the face of the artificial intelligence who is the principal of the school.At the same time, the principal shoulders the teaching task of the whole school, and the class time has come, and it ordered: "Everyone put on the connecting device, come to me, we start class!"
Chu Silan felt herself floating up, and the central screen dissipated like a waterfall without water, revealing various teaching instruments and a handsome man behind.Chu Silan flew to the man with hundreds of classmates behind the two girls who were sitting in front of her.
These are not real scenes, but virtual reality, and this man is the virtual character of the principal.
In fact, with this teaching mode, students can learn anywhere.However, for the "sense of ritual of learning", the school requires students to sit in the classroom in person.
"Where's Xiao Suoyan's dead thing?" Chu Silan gritted her teeth and searched around, but didn't see the figure of the man.
The principal over there announced that he began to draw people to point out that, as an artificial intelligence, he likes to engage in such formal things.But the first name he heard was "Xiao Suoyan".
He yelled three times, but Xiao Suoyan didn't yell.
She thought to herself: "That dead man must not have come in."
The headmaster made a note in his notebook, and then shouted: "Chu Silan."
Chu Silan said, "Here."
Hundreds of pairs of eyes gathered on her in an instant, and there was surprise and a little bit of unkindness in those eyes.Even the headmaster asked, "Who are you?"
No way... The hairs on Chu Silan's back stood up, and she touched her face with both hands, and immediately felt a raised mole under her right eye.
She didn't lift her disguise!Chu Silan frantically pressed the mole on her face, but the disguise parts on her face did not fall off as usual.The students around were making noise, yelling "Grab her", and they gathered together.
Chu Silan hurriedly turned over and flew back to the direction she came from - the virtual reality exit was in her original seat.Hundreds of "students" sat motionless in their positions, seemingly closing their eyes and resting their minds.These are "virtual dolls" that represent their real-world bodies, and can be awakened from virtual reality by simply removing the docking device that hangs behind the ears.
Chu Silan found her doll, and found that her doll was not wearing a connection device!
"I'm done! I'm going to be arrested!"
"Crack", "crack".
Close the fan, open the fan.
Chu Silan looked back and saw the female classmate of Dongfang Xingling hanging behind her, with a fan in her hand, opening and closing constantly.Further back, there are densely packed people flying to catch him.
The female classmate pressed her slender fingers between her delicate collarbones, and the original face and hair dissipated as particles, revealing Li Yuan's face.
Chu Silan said pleasantly: "Li Yuan! Are you here to help me?"
Li Yuan smiled brightly, and slowly opened the fan in her hand for her.
"Little master, go here."
When the fan is opened, there seems to be another space on the fan.Chu Silan didn't doubt that he was there, and flew straight into the fan.
When she crossed that space limit, she began to fall.
Below is a thick yellow cloud layer, and the ground situation cannot be seen clearly.The rapid fall caused her hair to fly and paste onto her face.She quickly fell into the cloud layer, and seemed to be able to feel all kinds of tiny particles in the cloud rushing towards her face.She fell under the clouds, saw the colorful blackness all over the mountains and fields, and saw a few garbage packages burning on her body, and flew with her.
Chu Silan thought: "It's over, I'm going to fall to my death." But she didn't seem so scared, and she didn't even bother to move her limbs.
She closed her eyes before falling to the ground.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Li Yuan's unruly smile and found himself in her arms.Li Yuan held a tube of Lanxing nutrient solution in her hand, and said, "Ah..." It looked like she was about to stuff it into Chu Silan's mouth.
Chu Silan was so frightened that she fell out of Li Yuan's arms.
Only then did she really wake up.
It turned out that she fell out of the driver's seat.
Where is Li Yuan?Li Yuan hasn't come back yet.
Since wandering to this garbage planet, I seem to have such messy dreams often.
Chu Silan got up from the ground, being careful not to touch her wound.Sit back on the driver's seat, raise your right leg and examine carefully—the wound turned into a golden slit.When the cells at the junction grow back, the gold color will disappear and the wound will heal completely.Thanks to the researchers of Nanosystems, it is their hard work that allows me to recover quickly even if I am injured.
I also want to thank Li Yuan, who put herself back on the mecha and helped her treat the wound in time.Li Yuan went out to find water and had been out for most of the day.Chu Silan was a little frustrated, feeling that she was useless without Xi Chu, and was holding Li Yuan back all day.But Li Yuan never said that she was not good, she always took care of herself, she is really a good person.
Chu Silan thought to herself: When will Major Li Yuan come back?
She leaned on the back of the chair and looked towards the cabin door. Linglong's chin leaned against the back of the chair, squeezing her mouth shut.At this moment, the cabin door made a "pop" sound and slowly opened.
Against the light, the man appeared in Chu Silan's eyes.
Chu Silan was a little surprised by this coincidence, and opened her mouth slightly.Then the corners of his lips lifted, revealing a sincere smile.
She said happily: "Li Yuan, welcome back!"
They were not running around aimlessly, they were following a woman in the distance with a purpose.
Women move very fast, but they have also been tempered by poverty for a long time. Although it is a bit difficult, they can keep up with the speed of women and hang far behind.After traveling four kilometers quickly, the woman seemed to be tired and sat on a rock to rest.The two stalkers were finally able to stop and catch their breath.
