Marriage indefinitely

They brought a lot of supplies, but there were too many people, and the team was still very long. Xiao Lan's group had already sent out all the rescue supplies.

The people behind seemed to have gotten used to this situation, they changed the queue quietly and continued queuing.

The huge team was moving slowly, with no end in sight.

This situation inevitably makes people feel a little disheartened.

Xiao Lan stared blankly for a long time, and the volunteer next to him patted him on the shoulder: "Dr. Xiao, don't read."

"them……"

"This is normal." The volunteer said, "There are too many people, and no amount of supplies can be taken care of."

"Then how do they fill their stomachs?"

"Generally, it is to see if there are any waste products in the garbage mountain that can be exchanged for supplies and virtual currency. Occasionally, new cleaner positions will be released inside the capital star, which can be taken by intellectual prisoners."

"Cleaner?"

"Yes, the capital star is one of the main bodies of the cloud map, and the internal parts require a huge amount of manual maintenance."

"How is this possible? Yuntu has a nuclear fission reactor that supplies power inside, and the state is very unstable. Within a diameter of 3 kilometers, there are prohibitive areas for excessive radiation. In addition, in order to disperse the pressure of the energy supply output channel, sporadic settings are made in different locations. A nuclear reactor has been destroyed. When humans enter, it is tantamount to walking directly into a dangerous radiation zone. Working in it for a long time is suicide!" Xiao Lan frowned and said, "Isn't there a special robot for maintenance?"

"That's just the caliber of publicity. Such a huge calculator has formed an independent environment by itself, enough to affect the loading of the entire planet's interior. Because of the huge size and different time expansions, circuit bugs will appear in Yuntu from time to time. Electromagnetic storm pulses, the robot will go down directly, and it is impossible to maintain the cloud map normally. And many simple cleaning robots cannot judge unexpected situations. Once it is damaged inside the cloud map, it will be a big trouble. So in fact, there is a large part of the cloud map of the cleaning work is done by humans."

"So... decided to sacrifice all kinds of low-level refugees and intellectual prisoners."

He looked up at the gathering place of tens of thousands of people.

There are at least a thousand garbage dumps of this size on Capital Planet, and there are even more garbage dumps than this small one.

There is always such a place next to every large human gathering place, and the waste generated in the city is sent here every day through conveyor belts and various means of transportation controlled by AI-maybe trucks, airships, or underground elevators , fills up slowly.

Nobody worries about what happens to the waste.

Because the "worms" made of flesh and blood around here lived on waste, they wore old clothes they picked up, built their own dwellings with various light boards, and slept on mattresses with springs bursting out. The obsolete cast-screen TV even chooses to inhale the poisonous gas in some industrial waste to obtain cheap addictive pleasure.

The powerful, ordinary people, refugees, and intellectual criminals.

Cities, scrapyards.

They form a peculiar biological chain.

The laws of nature are used so harmoniously.

No one cares whether these poor "bugs" are dead or alive.

Xiao Lan's heart is heavy.

He left from the relief point on the inner side, and walked for a while, closer to the garbage mountain, where the crowd was thicker, Lu Zhengqing was distributing the items bit by bit.

His temples are sweaty.

My body and face were dirty, but I didn't care to wipe it off.

A mother who took things bowed to him and thanked him, and he quickly helped her up, without feeling disgusted at all because of her filth.

Then he smiled.

The eyebrows and eyes are gentle.

No...he has always been a gentle person, but others only see his frost.He also disdains to give those people tenderness.

Xiao Lan just watched quietly until all the supplies were distributed. Lu Zhengqing and Tan Chuan walked down the small slope together, chatting while walking.

Lu Zhengqing saw him, walked two steps faster, and walked to his side.

"All right?" he asked.

"It's okay." Xiao Lan said, wiping his sweat, "You've worked hard, so you... come here often?"

"Not many come, unless there is a chance to come to Capital Star..."

"I saw... there are also very young intellectual prisoners." Xiao Lan said, "How is this possible."

"Most intellectual criminals lose their ability to reproduce." Lu Zhengqing said, "After all, knowledge cannot be circulated more, so knowledge crimes also have a serious incidental operation, which is sterilization, or you can call it castration. But there are always some When people are arrested they already have children. No one can determine whether knowledge has spread into these people's minds. Only children can be sentenced. It's that simple."

Xiao Lan was uncomfortable and silent.

"The alliance will add nearly 3000 million intellectual prisoners a year, and even more people will go bankrupt and become homeless. These people are eliminated, expelled, and live on the fringes of human society. In fact, sometimes we should thank Yuntu, after all, for it to do For maintenance, some people must be left behind."

Lu Zhengqing looked at these ghostly and inhuman people in front of him.

"If these people didn't starve to death on the surface, or died of poisoning from eating some garbage, or took a ration and went to work underground until they were killed by leukemia and distortion caused by radiation. Then they might still get a ration Pensions, let your loved ones live longer, and contribute more flesh and blood to this huge alliance."

After saying this, Lu Zhengqing smiled helplessly: "Why do you say this to you. You are a dignified post-doctorate at the General Government University, with a Ph.D. in molecular biology, and you have been living in an ivory tower. How could you know this?"

With a dry throat, Xiao Lan said in a low voice: "I know. The refugees can't find any jobs. They don't have health certificates, stable housing and food, and there are many betas. Most jobs don't use this Even if some places use them illegally...the salary is very low. Omegas are rare, and omegas with a little use value are sent to...that kind of place."

"You really know a lot." Tan Chuan was surprised.

"Because I have also..."

Before he ran away from the Xia family and entered Zongfu University, he had been in self-imposed exile for a while.What I saw and experienced at that time, I thought it was enough to be regarded as a tragedy in the world.did not expect……

Seeing his expression, Tan Chuan quickly laughed: "Hey, let's not talk about this. You see, Dr. Xiao is uncomfortable..."

"I think the hygienic conditions here are not very good." Xiao Lan said, "I can find a way to get some anti-radiation agents and various infectious disease prevention vaccines from the school level. It's better than nothing."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Xiao. We need these." Tan Chuan said with a smile, "Then what, if you don't dislike our place, go to the suburban bar in front, and I'll treat you two to dinner."

Lu Zhengqing wanted to decline, but Tan Chuan had already stopped him: "Hey, don't decline. I haven't even given a gift when I got married before."

So Tan Chuan led them through this poor residential area. There was a small commercial area at the edge of the city, with a dense steel forest on one side and chaotic and cramped slums and endless garbage on the other.

The abrupt blending of this weird style made people once again feel the boundary that cannot be crossed.

When several people pushed open the door of the bar with the dim yellow neon sign and entered, the boiling voices inside stagnated for a while.Everyone stared at the barcode on Tan Chuan's forehead.

Tan Chuan didn't seem to be aware of this silent rejection and contempt, and said to the two of them naturally: "Come in, the grilled lamb chops here taste pretty good, although it's synthetic meat, it's definitely fake."

The three of them sat down in front of a window seat. The window glass was dirty, and they couldn't see anything clearly against the cloudy sky outside.There was a dim yellow light overhead, and there were some greasy stains on the table.

The waiter came up to order impatiently. Tan Chuan ordered three grilled lamb chops, served with some vegetables, and finally ordered three blended wines.Probably because the price was really high, the waiter's expression softened.

"Wait a minute." He even took out three small packets of nuts from his pocket - nuts that grow naturally and can see their prototypes, "Come right away."

People finally returned to normal and stopped focusing on the three of them.

"You don't need to spend so much money." Lu Zhengqing should be familiar with the prices of this bar, and frowned, "Eating is not that important."

Tan Chuan still smiled gently and said: "It's important, of course it's important. It's rare for you to come here, so you have to have a good chat."

"I haven't introduced myself to Dr. Xiao yet." Tan Chuan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Lan gently, "I used to be a teacher at Zongfu University, and I was Mr. Lu's teacher."

Government University?

teacher?

Xiao Lan was taken aback, no wonder he found Tan Chuan's name somewhat familiar.

"En. But..." Tan Chuan turned his head so that Xiao Lan could clearly see a faint scar behind his ear, "The government removed part of my brain, so I have almost forgotten many things."

"This... This is simply..." Inhumane.

"I'm very lucky. At least I'm still sane. More people go crazy after this operation." Tan Chuan said not too concerned.

A few items of food were finally served.

Apart from steaming, there is nothing appetizing about their appearance.

The synthetic lamb chops have no shape. Although the vegetables are natural, they are cut in a mess, and the places where insects have been bitten can still be seen.The glass of blended wine was brightly colored, as if there was too much coloring.

Xiao Lan took a bite of the lamb chops.

The strange taste is like a stick in the throat.

"Eat quickly! While it's hot." Tan Chuan greeted warmly.

Xiao Lan glanced at Lu Zhengqing again—he swallowed with a normal expression.

So he didn't say anything anymore.

There are many people in the bar, fish and dragons are mixed.

Several people finished the meal with a fairly harmonious atmosphere. During the period, Tan Chuan told a lot of jokes humorously, and also blessed the two newcomers.

When it was all over, they walked out of the country bar.

Tan Chuan sent them all the way to the shuttle.

Lu Zhengqing took out a transparent stored-value card from his pocket, and the small chip inside was the bearer federal virtual currency.

"Put this away," he said.

"Okay, I'm not being polite to you." Tan Chuan took it over.

Then Lu Zhengqing fumbled in his pocket again, and took out a diamond necklace.

——Xiao Lan remembered that this was the one Zhao Qi gave Lu Zhengqing back then, and he just curled up in his pocket so casually.

"This should be worth some money." Lu Zhengqing threw it into Tan Chuan's arms, "You sell it and try."

Tan Chuan picked up the diamond necklace in surprise: "Which rich suitor gave you this? This is worth a lot of money. This kind of diamond mine is almost exhausted. Even in the empire, this thing can sell a lot Where's the money?"

"Okay." Lu Zhengqing said, "Then teacher ask someone to sell it in a neutral zone. Remember to wear off the badge on it, otherwise it will be traced to the source."

Tan Chuan took a look.

"...The family emblem of the Chao family?? It was given to you by Chao Qi."

"Ah."

Tan Chuan laughed: "You are really heartless."

Lu Zhengqing smiled softly: "It's too good."

After bidding farewell to Tan Chuan, Lu Zhengqing drove the shuttle to his residence.

"Tomorrow's report plan, shall we go through it again?" Boss Lu resumed his usual cold expression and asked lightly.

Mr. Lu in the night seemed to be different from before.

He is more alive and more moving.

Xiao Lan felt that she knew this person again.

"no problem."

He answered briskly.
