"Double kings, bomb."

"One sharp, plus a 6, take care of it."

Across the table, the rusty robot scratched his metal head, "Don't fool me! Can A and 6 be played in a row! Is your brain rotten?"

"Foolish boy, you don't know."

"In the old days, there was a most rampant official car, its model is called A6, ignoring all rules."

Cheng Qi knocked on the poker cards with rough edges on the table and said seriously: "A and 6 are played in a row, which is A6. I drove A6 and rushed out of your explosion range directly, so the bomb is ineffective against me."

The visual lens in the eyes of the fool slightly retracted and focused on the table, "Wow, what kind of game is this? There are so many rules. My head is big when I look at it!"

Cheng Qi smirked.

The fool became more anxious and raised his rusty arm, "Master, don't laugh, I will definitely be strong!"

At this moment.

The whole earth began to shake, and a rumbling tremor sound came from the outside.

"It's finally here!"

Cheng Qi's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked to the door of the shack, lifted the heavy anti-radiation tarpaulin, and looked up into the distance.

In the dark gray atmosphere, a 32-kilometer-long galaxy-class transport starship slowly approached with huge air tremors and a sense of oppression.

And on the ground outside the dilapidated shack.

All the sights were non-degradable garbage.

Dark silver metal wreckage, black chemical fuel barrels, and the decaying bodies of unknown creatures. The atmosphere was also dark and dim, with countless metal dust floating in it.

This is the earth.

Many years ago, a guy with mixed merits and demerits invented the directional stargate technology, and mankind began the era of the universe.

In just 60 years, this mother planet of mankind has been drained of all energy.

Now.

She has become the largest garbage dump in the Milky Way.

It is no longer the beautiful blue planet. If you look at it from outer space, it looks like a moldy prune because of the thick garbage covering its surface.

Year 024 of the Second Era of Humankind.

Earth has become a tragic symbol in the universe.

Human civilization has moved away from here.

Only a few remaining humans are lingering here, and these people have a common identity - scavengers.

Cheng Qi is also a scavenger.

Hanzi is a B343 nanny robot picked up from a garbage dump three years ago.

Perhaps because of the previous owner, its language voice system is actually a Sichuan dialect version.

Buzz——!

In the sky, a huge starship hovered, and the heavy hatch slowly opened.

Then, millions of tons of garbage fell from the sky to the ground, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"There's something new again!"

"Hurry up and get it!"

Hanzi moved his mechanical arm, and a screw flew out, but he was very excited.

"I don't want much."

"A few kilograms of rare alloy, or a few usable P7-level circuit boards, or a complete fuel cell will do."

"After all, I've invested a lot this time."

Cheng Qi's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and slowly walked out of the shack.

The starship engine set off a mighty airflow.

The 18-year-old boy's face was firm, and the dark blue scavenger's cloak full of oil stains and holes behind him fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

In the distance.

The transport starship was dumped, roared away, and disappeared into the atmosphere.

They came and went in a hurry, and no one would pity the garbage here.

And on the ground.

There was a giant garbage mountain nearly 500 meters high.

Mud, metal dust, toxic chemical gases, and unknown radiation were spreading wantonly.

Cheng Qi and Hanzi climbed on one side of the garbage mountain.

An unknown spore that was exposed to nuclear radiation took root and blossomed on Hanzi's brass head.

Hanzi shook his head slightly and let the spore grow.

They needed to insert the detector in their hands to the top of the garbage mountain to release the detection wave downward to find valuable items.

Hanzi's arm has a lifting force of about 3 tons. Once the location of the valuable items is determined, it will start digging with its bare hands. For a long time, the two "people" have cooperated in this way. They are assistants and masters, and also partners who depend on each other for life.

During the climb, the detector made a beeping sound.

Cheng Qi became more and more happy. This ship of garbage seemed to be of high quality.

But things didn't seem to go so smoothly.

On the other side of the garbage mountain, the roar of a small engine came.

Cheng Qi frowned.

The next moment, a heavy motorcycle with black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe appeared on the top of the garbage mountain.

The two wheels of this motorcycle have been modified into multiple metal hooks, and it can move the garbage by just stepping on the accelerator.Climb up the mountain quickly.

Hanzi looked up, spores swaying slightly, "It's this son of a bitch again."

On the motorcycle was a big man wearing a black gas mask, his right arm was modified into a hydraulic mechanical body, although it was tattered, but let alone Cheng Qi, it was no problem to crush Hanzi.

"Get out."

The big man's voice was low, without any nonsense.

"Ero."

Cheng Qi looked up, "The pile under my feet is 7-12-5, I have paid the "development fee" to the scavenger association in advance."

7-12-5.

It means the dumping of the fifth garbage ship on July 12.

Cheng Qi observed for a long time, every 156 days, the starship belonging to a certain mechanical group will come to dump garbage, and according to its route setting, it will most likely be the third ship of the day.

The garbage from the mechanical group has always been of high value.

Someone once dug up a functioning energy storage generator and various high-value alloy scraps, and the scavenger earned 7,500 credit points.

"I borrowed high-interest loans from Hyena to pay for the development fee."

Cheng Qi straightened his chest, "But since I paid, the 7-12-5 garbage dump is mine."

"Hyena is a ruthless man."

The motorcycle man seemed to be kindly reminding, but his voice was actually emotionless, "If you can't find high-value items today, you will die miserably."

As he spoke, a dozen scavenger brothers and seven or eight roughly assembled engineering robots appeared behind him.

"I heard."

"7-13-5, 8-01-22, 9-12-12...are all reserved by you?"

The motorcycle man's voice was very low, his eyes full of greed, "You little beggar is always smart, these numbered garbage should not be too bad."

"You want to rob?"

Cheng Qi had guessed the other party's intention, and said calmly: "Aren't you afraid that the scavenger association will sanction you?"

"The association has another rule."

The motorcycle man shook his head, and then murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, "If someone dies, the reservation will be cancelled."

"Goodbye."

The metal cover on the rear side of the heavy motorcycle turned over, and a rusty cruise missile rose out.

Swish——!

White smoke rose, the missile was launched, and the positioning radar was also rusty, but it was crooked and headed straight for Cheng Qi on the mountainside.

Boom!

The heat wave swept, the air flow was surging, and countless metal fragments were blown into the sky.

In the thick smoke, a black shadow was vaguely seen being thrown high up, and then fell into a garbage abyss 2 kilometers away.

The motorcycle man sneered, "7-12-5 is ours, and in the future, this area will also be ours. Don't just stand there, get to work!"

The earth used to be an orderly era, but it was still the law of the jungle.

And now the earth has no decent rules at all.

Everyone is at the bottom, struggling to get out, cannibalism happens every day.

In the garbage abyss.

Cheng Qi took a deep breath and suddenly woke up from his coma, but saw Hanzi's rusty head, protecting his chest, and its mechanical arm was also holding him tightly.

"Hanzi?"

"You protected me?"

"Hanzi?!"

Cheng Qi pushed Hanzi's limp arm away, stood up, looked at Hanzi's back, and his pupils trembled.

Half of Hanzi's torso and both of his legs had been blown away.

The most fatal thing was that Hanzi's entire back of the head had been melted by the huge heat, the computing core was completely exposed, the memory transistor was broken, and the red information transmission fluid in it flowed all over the ground like blood.

The spore was still on its head, but it was born and died quickly and had withered.

Cheng Qi's body trembled.

The memory crystal was broken and there was not a drop of information transmission fluid left.

Even if it was repaired, Hanzi would no longer exist.

A short-circuit spark popped out of the back of the head, and Hanzi's body trembled.

There was a green energy ray in its mouth, which was flickering faintly at this time.

It said the last paragraph.

"What?"

"Is your head rotten?"

"I'm afraid it's a broken ball."

"Don't be with me anymore, take care of yourself."

"I know all your tricks in playing poker, I'll have to let you go next time."

"Cheng Qi, goodbye!"

"I... need to sleep."
