Chapter 18

After leaving the city gate, Yang Shu looked back at the cargo compartment frequently, and said to Queqiu apologetically, "I didn't scare you just now, did I? I had no choice but to tell Lance that you are an Omega, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this today."We will be able to enter the city if it goes well.”

Queqiu shook his head and didn't mind this matter: "It's okay, you said that the main city has many restrictions and rules on you, and I can't let you or even Duocao Street bear that kind of danger."

Yang Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at him honestly: "Actually, it's normal for Lance to behave like that. There are almost no Omega in the Dark Star, and you can't often see him even in the main city. What's more, he is an Alpha, It’s a bit more intense than our Beta’s reaction to seeing Omega.”

Queqiu nodded silently. After these days of observation, he probably also knew that, no matter if it is the capital star or the dark star, it is impossible for the vast majority of Alphas to have an Omega, let alone get counseling for genetic diseases.and soothed.

After entering the main urban area, Queqiu clearly felt the bustle and bustle that was completely different from the Gobi Desert.There are many high-rise buildings here, and buildings of hundreds of meters are rising from the ground, and even new high-rise buildings are built on top of the high-rise buildings.Most of the exterior wall decorations adopt a style with a sense of technology. Walking in it is like being in a science fiction blockbuster, but it is more real than the blockbuster.When you look up at the sky completely, you will find that there is a transparent anti-radiation self-defense barrier above your head, covering the entire main city under the dome.

When the sunlight is refracted in from above, most of the original strong radiation is canceled out in an instant, and the mild sunshine that everyone in the Gobi Desert dreams of can be reached here.

The lower floors are all kinds of shops, the outside of the shops are covered with fluorescent lights, the ground is full of stream-like pedestrians, and all kinds of vehicles are suspended in mid-air, even the warning lights for traffic instructionsIt is also a holographic projection.People and vehicles are in different spaces, which greatly saves space costs and is more secure in terms of safety.

Aside from the changes that can be seen with the eyes, the most obvious thing Queqiu feels is that there is no longer any unstoppable yellow sand in the city, and the thick and tall dense iron fence will also destroy the desert.The strong wind firmly blocks the city, and people living in the main city, regardless of adults, children, Alpha or Beta, have healthy blush colors on their faces, unlike those who are exposed to the wind day and nightThe cheeks of the sun-baked Weedy Street residents were an unhealthy crimson.

living in the main city

The people who live in the slums have conveniences that are many times better than those in the slums.

And the most striking thing is that there are plants in the main city of Dark Star!

All the way through the city, there are some cacti or stone trees in front of some landmark buildings, such as schools, hospitals, etc., or buildings with political and commemorative significance, which makes Queqiu's eyes shine.

However, what is surprising is that even though the sunlight in the main urban area has been purified and does not contain much radiation, these plants that should be very vigorous have no vitality.

The thorns of the cactus are soft, and the leaves that should be full are shriveled and yellowed; while the branches of the stone tree are even more bare, with few leaves at all.And around these plants, there are still Alpha guards with live ammunition watching closely, and will never let ordinary people get even half a step closer.Many residents can only look at it from a distance, reluctant to leave.

Although there is a big difference with Queqiu's impression of the earth, those plants are not planted everywhere like street trees, and there are only one or two fixed types, but compared with the barren Gobi Desert full of yellow sand, it is alsoIt is already an unattainable existence.

Que Qiu frowned imperceptibly. He wasn't sure if the living environment of the Dark Star was only so harsh, or if all planets were like this, and even tenacious plants like cactus couldn't grow well.

While thinking to himself, Yang Shu said with envy in his eyes: "In the entire Dark Star, except for the main urban area, there are no plants at all. If I didn't have this identity that can enter the city, I might also be like the peerless man on the Gobi."Like most people, they live their whole life and die without knowing what a tree looks like."

Just like Dodd, he can only rely on imagination to pretend that he saw the flowers blooming; and more people can't even imagine, because there is no Queqiu to tell them those beautiful pictures.

People living in the slums of the Gobi have been accompanied by violent galaxy radiation and violent sandstorms all their lives, and there will be no grass or flower in their lives.

Que Qiu didn't answer, he didn't know what to say.

Yang Shu continued to drive, and his desert airship looked out of place in front of a bunch of brand-new high-end vehicles around him, which attracted many people's onlookers.In the one after another without any good intentions, Yang Shu couldn't help sweating profusely from nervousness, and stepped on the accelerator hard, pushing the speed to the maximum.

When those probing eyes came from all directions, Yang Shu's first thought was not to be embarrassed as usual, but to be thankful that the baffle of the cargo compartment was okay

It's high enough that Que Qiu won't be noticed by these people if he stays inside.

But he still had lingering fears. He carried an Omega of the right age on the Dark Star to swagger through the market. It was like bringing a fresh and plump little white rabbit into the wolf's den.come out.

They passed a deep alley in the middle, and when they looked at it, they couldn't even see the end.Moreover, unlike other lively streets and alleys, this alley didn't even have a light sign, and it was too plain under the background of the surrounding light pollution.

The entrance was dark, and there seemed to be some kind of monster dormant inside with its bloody mouth wide open.

Que Qiu's eyes paused, and the premonition that he had innately came out to make trouble again, giving him a vague sense of subtlety.So he asked directly: "Street Chief, what is the alley we just passed by?"

Yang Shu replied casually: "Oh, that alley is an underground black market in the main city, where all kinds of transactions are done, the most common one is reselling nutrient solution. People who enter the underground black market can be not only buyers, but alsoIt’s a seller, as long as it can provide something of value. Sometimes auctions are held here, most of which are smuggled from other planets.”

Queqiu automatically caught the word "nutrient solution", and her eyes deepened.

It seems that if he has the opportunity in the future, he will come to this black market a few more times in order to buy more nutrient solution to replenish his spiritual energy.

Not long after leaving the underground black market, the group of three arrived at their destination.

Yang Shu stopped the car some distance away from the military academy, and said very sorry to Queqiu: "My authority does not allow me to go to the military academy, otherwise the real-time monitoring pass will immediately report my whereabouts toThe General Services Bureau will cause a lot of trouble at that time."

Que Qiu shook his head, expressing his understanding: "It's okay, just send it here, and we'll see you later."

He picked up Mao Mao neatly, and leaped out of the air while supporting the narrow guardrail with one hand, and stepped on the ground lightly and delicately.

The moment he landed, his knees bent a little, then he stood up straight and looked at Yang Shu, and thanked him solemnly and formally: "Thank you and all the residents of Duocao Street for taking care of me and Maomao these days, and I also hope that Cao CaoThe street is getting better and better.”

Yang Shu responded again and again, for some reason, the sockets of his eyes were a little moist.

He tilted his head and wiped it casually with his sleeve, as if nothing had happened, but the choking could not be concealed, and it also betrayed his true mood.

"You don't have to thank me

On the contrary, it is actually an honor for Duocao Street to be able to get along with Omega for a short time these days."

Yang Shu couldn't stay in places other than the relief center for too long, so he spoke very fast, and hurriedly finished what he wanted to say within the specified time: "No matter where you are, whether you are cured or not.Department, Omega is very precious. Xiaoqueqiu, I know you are more understanding and kind than those ordinary Omega, but the main city, especially the Dark Star Military Academy, is no better than Duocao Street. These places are mixed with fish and dragons, you mustProtect yourself."

At the end of the speech, he smiled from the bottom of his heart and said: "I look forward to our meeting again in the future. You are always welcome on Duocao Street."

After rushing to finish these few words, Yang Shu had no choice but to leave in his old airship.Before leaving, the street chief, who was tolerant and caring for Queqiu like a father, turned his head frequently, unwilling to blink for a moment, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in the deepest part of his memory forever.

Because the main body is a plant, Queqiu seldom has such intense emotions as great joy and great sorrow. Although he did not have excessive emotional fluctuations even in the current scene, he still felt a kind of heart-wrenching, faint sourness.feel.

Mao Mao grabbed the corner of Que Qiu's clothes and snuggled up to his legs. He naturally felt the other party's depression, so he quickly shook his silver tentacles and smiled softly to tease Que Qiu: "And IStay with mom, let's sign up quickly, and after registration, you can get mom's favorite nutrient solution when you enter the school."

That's right, a child with such a keen observation ability, when Queqiu drank the nutrient solution for the first time, he already discovered that his mother, who has never been too interested in anything, seemed to like this tasteless and tasteless thingup.

Mao Mao's words quickly pulled Que Qiu out of the mood of parting. He nodded, took the little guy's hand and was about to sign up, when he suddenly thought of a very realistic question.

He lowered his head to look at Mao Mao, the two feathery tentacles were happily swaying back and forth with the master's steps.

That problem is...

He went to sign up for the recruitment of the Dark Star Military Academy, and he could directly enter the study because of his so-called Omega status.Can……

Where is Mao Mao?

What should he do with Maomao?!
