Cannon Fodder's Humanoid Plug-in

Brother, I pick up trash to support you

In the evening, the wind and sand outside gradually stopped.

The sand on the window glass is like flowing golden water, which has a different kind of beauty, but Yan Chen has long been tired of watching this scene.

He waited silently for Yan Shuo to finish his dinner and wash the dishes, then sat on his tool table and began to count the materials he had.

When Yan Chen said that he wanted to build an optical computer for Yan Shuo, he wasn't just talking about it for fun.

When every citizen of a livable planet is born, the Federation will equip them with an optical brain.

For them, this is a necessity of life, without which, it is bound to be difficult to move forward.

And for Desolate Star, for the residents of Garbage Star, the price of an optical brain is almost equivalent to their living expenses for five years, or even ten years.

Even if they have money, they are more inclined to use the money to buy other more practical things.

Or rather, save it for a rainy day.

Taking out his treasure box from under the tool table, Yan Chen took out a gold nugget buried at the bottom, which was two fingers wide and less than five centimeters.

Such a small piece of gold is the only savings of the two brothers.For so many years, Yanchen used Yanshuo to extract pure gold from various gold-plated and alloy metal products recovered from the garbage dump.

——The garbage sorting of some livable planets is not done well, and it is inevitable that there will be such fish that slip through the net, which is why Yanchen has this opportunity to profit from it.

Many people on Desolate Star are doing this, but most of them only collect the materials and sell them to official people, because they cannot extract gold by themselves.

Yan Shuo was about to tell him about the military academy selection contest, but when he saw this, he was taken aback and subconsciously looked out the window: "Little brother..."

Yan Chen held the gold nugget and weighed it for a while, then put it back to the bottom of the toolbox, took out a soft ruler from it, and looked at Yan Shuo:

"Brother, stretch out your hand."

"What are you doing..."

Yan Shuo stretched out his palm suspiciously, seeing him bowing his head to take the measurement of his wrist seriously, he hesitated and said, "Little brother, bro, I don't wear that kind of thing."

"Or, you can make it for yourself, I'm running outside all day, it's not safe to be seen." Yan Shuo glanced at his younger brother's thin wrist, thinking it would save money.

Yan Chen wrote down the size in the notebook, then raised his head, and looked at his brother helplessly: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I use gold to make bracelets."

He changed the subject at the right time: "Did you have something to tell me just now?"

"Oh, yes." Being reminded like this, Yan Shuo's expression turned serious:

"Several major military academies of the Federation came to us to enroll students and hold a selection competition. I will help them build a venue during this time."

Yan Shuo paused, and added: "As a reward, they agreed to let me participate in the selection."

He concealed the role of the potion in it.

Yan Chen also seemed not to know, showing a happy smile: "That's very good, brother, you will definitely pass the selection!"

"I will work hard." Yan Shuo also laughed: "I heard that the alliance will provide subsidies to military cadets born in Desolate Star, but I don't know how much. If it is enough, I can send you to school."

"I asked Hong Luyue. Although the majors of literature and history have high requirements, but you are so smart, you can easily pass the exam..."

Yan Shuo was chattering, his wheat-colored face was filled with expectations for the future.

Yan Chen had already put the toolbox back: "I don't want to study literature and history."

Yan Shuo paused slightly: "Well...then what major do you want to study?"

Yan Chen turned around, frowned and smiled, "Mecha manufacturing, how about it?"

"This major seems to be only available in military colleges." Yan Shuo hesitated for a moment: "Mecha is very heavy, little brother..."

He wanted to persuade Yan Chen to give up this idea, but he saw the bright black eyes on the young man's thin face, looking at him expectantly:

"When the time comes, I'll make you the most handsome mech in the world! How about it!"

"Okay." Yan Shuo heard himself replying with a smile: "When the time comes, the whole world will definitely envy me."

Yan Chen chuckled and struck while the iron was hot: "Brother, you pick up trash tomorrow..."

Yan Shuo's heart skipped a beat: "Tomorrow! Haha... I don't know if I will go tomorrow or not. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm a little sleepy and it's getting dark. Let's go to bed early."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to yawn and fell on the bed in two or three steps.

Yan Chen: "..."

Yan Chen angrily climbed onto the bed, stood up and gave him two feet: "Come over, don't take my place."

"Okay, okay..." Yan Shuo moved to the outside paralyzed.

He was indeed tired and sleepy.

Yan Chen lay flat on the bed, looking at the mottled gray-white stone walls on the ceiling and the rough wooden boards nailed in the holes, and soon heard the sound of snoring coming from beside him.

Yan Chen licked the roots of his teeth, and couldn't sleep with his eyes open.

Even though he drank several glasses of water, the sour taste in his mouth still seemed to disappear, reminding him of Yan Shuo's efforts.

They have gold nuggets, which could have been exchanged and traded with official people.

But Yan Shuo insisted on keeping the money and buying two tickets to leave C-34.

The life on the barren star was really too bitter.

Unknowingly, amidst the steady snoring, Yan Chen also fell asleep.

The next morning.

Before dawn, Yan Shuo went out the door lightly. After waiting for a while, Yan Chen opened his eyes leisurely and got up from the bed.

So what if you don't take him there, it's not that he doesn't have long legs.

The summer heat of Desolate Star is fumigated, Yan Chen puts on an insulated jacket, puts on a wide-brimmed sunhat, and carries a satchel full of tools on her back.

At first glance, it looks like going out for an outing.

Yan Chen hummed twice, stretched out his hand to push the door, his expression suddenly froze - Yan Shuo blocked the door!

But this couldn't stop him... Yan Chen climbed up the stone platform, opened the window, and removed the guardrail.

Due to malnutrition in the early years and low-level physique, Yan Chen is only 14 meters tall even though he is 1.6 years old.

The height of the window was about [-] centimeters, and the height of the lower edge from the ground was about one meter. Yan Chen could easily climb out of the window.

Coincidentally, as soon as it landed, a door was pushed open not far away.

A woman in the official uniform dress, also wearing a sun hat, stepped out.

It was Hong Luyue, a neighbor who was very helpful to the two brothers, who worked in the official station.

It was too late for Yan Chen to hide, so he could only watch helplessly as the other party approached suspiciously.

Seeing the huge boulder blocking the door of Yan's house and the empty windows that had been dismantled, the corners of Hong Luyue's mouth twitched slightly: "Chenchen, you are..."

"I, I..." Yan Chen's eyes shifted guiltily, and he suddenly took out a screwdriver and a wrench from his satchel, and showed it to Hong Luyue, "I'll fix the window!"

However, he forgot that he also helped install the windows in Hong Luyue's house - there was no need to repair them outside the house.

But Hong Luyue didn't expose him, just smiled gently: "Do you need my help?"

"No, no need, sister Luyue, go to work quickly, don't be late." Yan Chen waved her hand to refuse.

Hong Luyue smiled even more: "Then how do you get in after you install the windows?"

"Uh..." This is indeed a problem, Yan Chen's face flushed, and he looked down at his toes in embarrassment: "It's okay, I... my brother will be back later."

The wide brim of the hat covered his face, so Hong Luyue didn't hide the smile on his face.

She could tell that Yan Chen was lying, but she only thought that he had been at home for a long time and wanted to get some air:

"Well, if you need any materials, wait for your brother to come back and ask him to find them for you. Don't go far. Yesterday, during the sandstorm, a few bugs that were escorted to the west area were lost halfway."

They live in the East District, which is closer to the official base, and far from the West District, but Yan Chen still clutches the shoulder bag strap nervously.

The largest dumps of C-34 are in the North District, in the ruins near the West District...

Yan Chen nodded solemnly: "I understand, thank you sister Luyue, you should also pay attention to safety."

"Yes." Hong Luyue still smiled: "If there is anything, you can go to Wanyue and ask her to contact me."

Wan Yue is her adopted sister, a 9-year-old shy little girl.

As a "left-behind child", Yan Chen has a good relationship with the other party, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After watching Hong Luyue leave, Yan Chen heaved a sigh of relief, quickly installed the windows, and trotted away like a thief.

Throughout the C-34, there are many dumps.

If this planet is compared to a jungle, then these garbage dumps are the territory of all kinds of birds and beasts living in the jungle—only the most powerful beasts are worthy of picking up garbage in the largest garbage dump.

Hmm... There is a "beast" organization in the local area, which is usually euphemistically called: recycling valuables.

Although this was once complained by Yan Shuo as "putting gold on his face", Yan Chen felt that this statement was quite appropriate.

I don't know what level his brother belongs to now... Yan Chen ran to walk, and then walked more and more slowly.

He is not worried about getting lost. Yan Shuo is carrying a two-way locator that he modified... This also comes from "recycling of valuables"... I hope Yan Shuo will pick up the trash well and don't have nothing to do to look at the locator.

No, it doesn't matter if he sees it, after all, he has come out now... Yan Chen is full of ambition.

As he walked, he began to feel hot all over his body. The sun had risen completely. On the wasteland covered with thin or thick yellow sand, there were not even a few grasses, let alone trees that could provide shade.

Yan Chen took out the prepared ice packs from the satchel—two thin ones, made of double-layer special insulation material, which can maintain the low temperature for about eight hours.

Yan Chen held one in his hand and another on his face. After more than an hour, he finally followed to the garbage dump.

And Yan Shuo's position had almost stopped moving more than half an hour ago.

Through route memory, time, and the position of the sun and shadow, Yan Chen determined the area where this garbage dump is located: the North District.

The largest dumps...

Under the scorching sun, Yan Chen could smell the sour smell coming from the garbage dump through the ruins.

He put away the ice pack and took out a simple version of the gas mask.

This is the only thing that Yanchen can mass-produce under the conditions in Desolate Star, and it is also extremely popular.

When it was first made, Yan Shuo followed him to make a lot and sold it, but he was soon learned the craft and took away the business.

Masks block out nearly 90% of the smell.

But when Yan Chen approached, he looked at the pile of rubbish piled up like a mountain, saw the small flying insects, flies, and writhing white larvae crawling on it, and still made a mental construction for a while before stepping over.

Hmm...Household garbage is often the least popular, unless there are clothes that won't affect their high value even if they are damaged...

Yan Chen looked around and quickly found the target garbage dump.

In the corner, among the garbage that was obviously dumped not long ago, there are many broken metal fragments...

If it wasn't for the sporadic mecha models that could still be seen, Yan Chen wouldn't be able to tell the source of these metals at all.

In addition, he also saw a severely damaged optical brain.

But Yan Chen didn't immediately go over and pick up the optical computer.

After standing there observing for a moment, he found many heads protruding from all around, with pairs of eyes looking at him from all directions.

Hmm... I have to find his brother first, Yan Chen recalled the blurred picture of his childhood in his memory.

When Yan Shuo was still weak enough to hide in the cellar, Yan Shuo hid far away near the garbage dump and observed the battle between these scavengers.

Yan Shuo is very smart, he always pretends to be weak, plus he runs fast, so he hasn't been beaten much.

The only time he was beaten was because Yan Chen, who was hiding outside, was discovered and captured... In order to get his younger brother back, Yan Shuo, who was only in his early teens at the time, was almost beaten to death.

Later, Yan Chen didn't go out much.

Just as he was about to take out the locator and look for Yan Shuo, three men in their early twenties walked up to Yan Chen.

Shrouded by the tall shadows of the three, Yan Chen took two steps back, clenched his satchel tightly, and was about to obey the will of his heart and shout for help.

I saw one of them shaking his legs, looked sideways at him and said, "Little brat, who told you to come here? I don't know if this is our brother Shuo's territory?"

Yan Chen was startled, then blinked: "Brother Shuo?"

The other party's calm expression just now suddenly became hostile: "You don't even know our Brother Shuo? You..." He looked Yan Chen up and down suspiciously for a moment: "The one who was exiled to our planet C-34?"

This is a sun hat, and it has small arms and legs, and its face is so white that it frightens people, it doesn't look like the people on their barren star.

Jiang Fei shook his legs and groaned in his heart.

He looked at Yan Chen with distaste: "If you want to pick up something, start from the East District first, let's forget it this time, because our brother Shuo is easy to talk... Next time you run over and meet other people, you will be beaten up. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Yan Chen: "Others?"

Jiang Fei glared at him impatiently: "Isn't it normal that there are so many people in such a big garbage dump? Why do you have so many problems, you little brat, walk around, I'll take you out..."

Just as he was about to reach out and forcefully carry Yan Chen away, he heard someone behind him shout loudly: "Jiang Fei! Why are you standing there stupidly?"

Jiang Fei shuddered and turned around: "Brother! Here's a kid who went the wrong way..."

"Fuck off, who is your elder brother? I only have one younger brother!" Yan Shuo strode around a garbage dump and approached from behind the three of them.

Jiang Fei turned around and walked forward with a flattering smile. Yan Shuo's expression froze as he moved away from his sight, and saw a familiar figure.

He stopped in place, as if struck by lightning: "Little brother..."

"How did you come here?"

brother?Jiang Fei was taken aback, Yan Shuo would never call them that...oh, he would only call his younger brother who never showed up...wait?

Jiang Fei turned his head and glanced behind him. His shoulders were thin and his skin was pale. Just looking at his appearance, he was a thin and thin boy who was definitely no older than 13 years old.

He turned around again and glanced at the masculine young man with broad shoulders, muscular lines of both arms, 1.9 meters tall, slightly darker wheat-colored skin.

This is a brother?

Jiang Fei was lost in thought.
