My empire of stars

The disappeared people carefully walked past the police and entered the building directly.

Contrary to what was expected, there was only an empty hall of over a hundred square meters after entering. Police officers were walking back and forth in the hall. At the end of the hall were several rows of elevators. The shells of these elevators were all made of glass. Well, you can directly see the inside of the elevator from the outside.

Li Mingze and others once again easily slipped past the police and got into the elevator. The transparent elevator was of no use to them.

After selecting the highest floor, the elevator bounced directly from the spot and took everyone towards the top floor.

While the elevator was running, Li Mingze and the others finally saw what was in the building.

I saw rectangular machines tens of meters high flashing outside the elevator. The top of the machine was a huge opening.

Some workers wearing chemical protective suits were pouring trolleys of corpses into the machine through the mouth on the top of the machine.

"What are these people doing? Is this building just a crematorium?" Charlotte looked at the pile of corpses outside the elevator and wondered.

"No, this is their food manufacturing factory!" Li Mingze's face darkened and he pointed at a running conveyor belt and said solemnly.

Everyone hurriedly turned to look at the conveyor belt, only to see that the conveyor belt was filled with things they were familiar with, which were the nutrient solutions that those outside consumed every day.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Charlotte couldn't hold on any longer, so she opened her mask and vomited.

She didn't expect that the nutrient solution these people took every day came from this. It made her sicker than eating shit.

"These people re-converted the corpses into nutrient solution to supply the residents outside, and at the same time made nutrient solution from the troublemakers and those who died due to illness or other reasons."

"This seems to form a cycle. If those people outside reduce physical activity, this cycle pattern can last for a long time!" Li Mingze analyzed with a frown.

"Captain, look what that is!" A team member suddenly pointed to the other side of the elevator.

When Li Mingze and others turned their heads, they saw that there was a plant cultivation warehouse inside the building.

Rows of various vegetables and fruits in these planting barns are growing beautifully. Li Mingze even saw a plant that looked like rice on earth.

"Are these artificially grown grains?"

"Since there is artificially grown food, why do we need to process those corpses into nutrient solution?" Xia Luoluo asked Li Mingze innocently.

"You don't need to know." Li Mingze shook his head. Of course he would not tell Xia Luoluo the reason for this cruelty.

With a beeping sound, the elevator reached the middle floor of this tall building, which is also the top floor that this elevator can reach.

After coming out of the elevator, the environment on this floor finally changed. The white walls were inlaid with golden patterns, and beautiful plants were planted on both sides of the corridor.

A maid in gorgeous clothes was walking in the corridor, and two policemen stood at the door of each room.

"This should be where the top management of the spacecraft is." Charlotte frowned slightly. She didn't expect that the outside was so miserable, but the people inside were living such a luxurious life.

"Each room has a number. Let's go find No. 001." Li Mingze waved his hand and took the lead to walk forward. According to normal civilization, the first room number definitely belongs to the place where the captain of this spaceship lives.

Sure enough, when they followed the room number to the end of the corridor, a room occupying a small half-floor appeared in front of them.

There are ten guards in heavy power armor standing at the door of this room.

"Boss, are we going to go in?" Chu Lin, the deputy weapons hand of the spacecraft, asked Li Mingze.

"Don't worry, someone is coming!" Li Mingze shook his head gently and moved away.

Ten girls pushing dining carts slowly came to the door of the room from the corridor.

The guards at the door scanned the girl and the dining car with a scanner, and then opened the door to the room.

Li Mingze and others followed these girls and poured into this special room.

Facing the door is a 500-square-meter living room. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room provide a bird's-eye view of the entire city.

On the side of the living room is a dining table more than ten meters long.

At the table, a middle-aged man and his two ladies had just sat down, waiting for the maids to serve their food.

As the maids lifted the lid of the dining car, plates of various exquisite dishes were brought to the table.

The middle-aged man and his two ladies waited for the dishes to be served and then couldn't help but start using their knives and forks.

"Why are there you bastards!" After the maids were gone, Charlotte couldn't bear it anymore and turned off the invisibility device and put the knife in his hand across the middle-aged man's neck.

"Who are you? Why am I a jerk?" The middle-aged man calmly picked up a piece of steak with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Let's not talk about who we are! Why do you want the people outside to eat the nutrient solution made by your own kind, while you are enjoying the delicious food here!" Charlotte shouted angrily.

"Oh? You call this cruelty?"

"Little girl, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. It is obviously because of my kindness that they can have the nutrient solution they have now! They still have life to eat!" The man snorted coldly and continued to eat the food on the table.

Li Mingze stepped forward and grabbed Xia Luoluo's hand and said, "Let him speak."

The man unexpectedly looked back at Li Mingze who suddenly appeared, and coughed twice.

"Since the Zerg invasion, I have used my company's assets to start building this escape spaceship!"

"The original design standard of this spacecraft was to accommodate my family, the scientists in the company, and all the employees!"

"But when we finally prepared to take off, these people begged us to take them away, even if we didn't give them food."

"You have to understand, if I bring these refugees that are several times our population, then our food will be completely insufficient, and the ecosystem in the spacecraft will collapse!"

"In the years when they boarded the ship, you saw a city full of flowers, plants and trees, every building had an ecological zone, and the city was full of hover cars."

"But what did these refugees who begged us to take them away do? They have no skills, but they want a better life! They started protesting and marching! They want us to hand over control of the spacecraft and implement democracy!"

"They want more food, they want better houses, but they don't reflect at all on who saved them!" The man took a sip of red wine and tightened the hand holding the fork.
