Blue star road
Chapter 809 Condolences (1st update)
There are many homeless people lying in the dark alleys.
Long Qi ignored the homeless people and kept walking forward. Finally, he stopped at the door of a house and started knocking on the door.
However, there was no response. Long Qi stepped back and took a closer look. There was no light in the window, so there must be no one there.
"Let's go to the next one, he probably won't be home."
"Are there many veterans living here?"
Su Bai asked subconsciously.
"This is a resettlement area specially arranged for disabled veterans."
Long Qi replied calmly, when it was originally placed, Long Qi came to see it in person.
"Who are you looking for?"
At this time, a vigilant voice came from behind.
Su Bai and the others turned around and saw an old man with a weathered face and one hand missing from his body. He was holding some synthetic bread in the other hand, staring at Su Bai and the others warily.
Then the old man saw Su Bai's appearance.
His initially wary eyes became very excited and he immediately saluted.
"Master Su Bai Council! Why are you here?"
Long Qi calmly introduced Su Bai.
"Wu Yue, captain of the 36th Squadron of the 18th Legion of the Star Alliance, the 3rd Squadron of the 12th Mobile Squadron, and is a lieutenant."
Su Bai also saluted back and said with a smile.
"Lieutenant Wu Yue, we are here to visit you."
After hearing Su Bai's words, Wu Yue's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Your Excellency, you are so kind."
"It's nothing. This is what I should do. Can you please invite us to sit inside?"
"Please come in quickly."
Wu Yue hurriedly walked up and opened the door.
Soon Su Bai and the others walked into the house. The house was very narrow, with only one living room and one room. There was not much furniture in the house.
Wu Yue looked around the room, trying to find something to entertain Su Bai, but there was nothing to entertain Su Bai at all. He was at a loss for a moment and said guiltily.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Council Leader, but the conditions here are limited and there is nothing to entertain you."
"It's okay. There's no need to be so formal. We just came to see you and want to talk to you by the way."
Su Bai found a place to sit down and said gently.
"good."
"How long have you been out of the army?"
Su Bai asked.
"It's been more than three years."
Wu Yue replied.
"I have a question for you. You should have a lot of pension and military rank subsidies. Why do you feel that it is so difficult to live a good life?"
Su Bai just put aside the bag in his hand, which was full of the lowest-grade synthetic bread.
"It's not very difficult. Compared to others, I'm pretty good. It's just that when you get old, your body will feel uncomfortable from time to time, so part of the money is used to see a doctor, and part of it is used to help the families of my dead brothers. "
Wu Yue replied in a somewhat depressed mood.
When Su Bai heard this, he frowned slightly and asked.
“Didn’t the martyr’s pension be distributed on time?”
"Yes, but if you don't have a high enough military rank, there won't be much pension at all, and the monthly subsidy is actually not much. In addition, in recent years, the Star Alliance's funds have been very tight, and delays have often occurred."
Wu Yue had nothing to hide, so he told Su Bai simply.
"I see."
Su Bai calmly replied.
After chatting for a while, Su Bai stood up and said goodbye.
"We have to inspect other areas before we leave. If you have any needs or troubles, you can contact the Star Alliance specialized agency."
"I understand. I will send it to you, Speaker."
Wu Yue hurriedly got up to see him off.
Su Bai glanced at Bai Lan when he left.
Bai Lan walked last with understanding, leaving an envelope behind before going out.
After bidding farewell to Wu Yue, Su Bai and the others visited several more houses.
Basically the situation is similar.
Immediately afterwards, Su Bai and the others took a flying car to Haig City.
On the speeding car, Bai Lan said to Su Bai.
"The legions of the Kimik Empire have always been one of the main forces of the Covenant. They are indispensable in basically every war, so they have the largest number of casualties."
"I see."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
"Besides, Hagrid City is quite far away from us. Council Leader, you can take a rest. I'll call you when we get there."
"good."
Su Bai nodded slightly, closed his eyes slowly, and fell asleep not long after. In fact, Su Bai was indeed very tired today.
It's not physical fatigue, it's more mental fatigue.
Bai Lan looked at Su Bai who was sleeping soundly, picked up a blanket from the side and gently covered Su Bai.
Early the next morning, Su Bai heard a soft call and slowly opened his eyes.
"arrive?"
"President of the Council, we are here."
Bai Lan said to Su Bai.
"Walk"
Su Bai quickly got up and got out of the car.
"Would you like to eat something first?"
Bai Lan asked hurriedly.
"No, I don't have much appetite. Let's go visit first."
Su Bai said simply and neatly.
A moment later, under the leadership of Long Qi, Su Bai and his group came to the west area of Haig City.
This densely populated area has sewage flowing across it.
There were kids running around shirtless everywhere.
You can see many old people and women, their eyes are full of numbness and exhaustion, as if they have lost their vitality. Only when their eyes fall on those children, will there be a slight fluctuation of color.
In addition, their clothes are very shabby and their bodies are very thin.
In addition, there are not many young and strong men at all here.
"Basically two out of every three families here are soldiers. Most of them have died in the long years of war."
Long Qi introduced Su Bai.
Su Bai stood there and stared, his expression becoming more and more silent.
The national strength of the Kimik Empire is considered to be at the top of the Star Alliance, and the Kimik Empire also values its soldiers the most. The families of the martyrs and soldiers who died here basically received double subsidies. Even here, Su Bai couldn't imagine those small countries.
"You don't need to go, I can just go there myself."
Su Bai said to Long Qi and others.
Too many people go there and express condolences, but they are actually picking up their scars.
"good."
Long Qi replied simply.
Su Bai walked over with heavy steps.
Bai Lan and others stood there and watched. After they saw Su Bai walking in, they started chatting with the old men and women.
It didn't take long for people in the entire area to become restless, and they all gathered around Su Bai.
Long Qi frowned slightly. It was obvious that Su Bai must have been recognized. She was just about to take someone over to prevent an accident.
At this time Bai Lan stopped Long Qi.
"It doesn't matter. They have no ill intentions towards Lord Su Bai, and Lord Su Bai doesn't need protection."
"All right."
Long Qi's expression changed for a while, and he finally answered.
In the crowd, women were crying.
"Master, we are not greedy, it's just that we are really suffering. Our husbands and fathers have sacrificed their lives. Our only hope now is to raise our children, but the subsidies from the Star Alliance have not been available for a long time."
"Yes, we rely on these meager subsidies to survive. We also want to find a job, but we can't find one at all."
