the days before i bought the galaxy

Hongdu, the command tower——

"Where are the Warrens?" Odin had an impatient expression on his face.Over the past few days, due to Warren's absence, as an adjutant, he had to make various decisions for Warren, and he was very uncomfortable with doing two jobs by himself.

"Still resting inside." Lan replied calmly.

Although Lan is responsible for the reconstruction of many places at the same time, when Warren is resting in the room, he will always dutifully guard the door, using remote control to direct the robot to work.

"He has been 'resting' for three days, should he come out of the room anyway?" Odin seemed a little annoyed.

"Warren's current physical function is very good. He probably needs a little time to think. I have no right to disturb his rest."

"What about me? Get out of the way, let me go in and pull him out!" Odin didn't look like he was going in to wake Warren up, but rather like he was going to beat him up.

"Sorry, the adjutant has no right to disturb the president's rest." Lan still blocked the door.

"What a 'iron head'! How long will he rest? We are only temporarily out of danger. The protective cover outside can buy us a month or two at most. What should we do after that, wait for the pirates to leave on their own? We need to Him! If Warren doesn't show up again, people will panic down here!" Odin raised his voice.

"Sorry." Lan was unmoved.

"So, I hate a child like him who has never experienced war the most! Did he retreat into the room when he saw a little blood?" Considering that it was impossible to really fight with Lan, Odin finally had to angrily Turn around and leave. "Tell him I need him, urgently!" he said at last.

"Odin, please wait!" Lan chased after a few steps, "Just now a robot saw Fereter go to the refugee camp, is it okay?"

Because he is a half-human, although Odin's adopted son Fereter is only one year old this year, he looks like a seven or eight-year-old natural boy in appearance.After the war started, Odin's time suddenly became tense, so Feret was taken care of by a robot nanny, which made many robots recognize this little ferret as a half-human.After receiving the news that Ferret had gone to the asylum camp, Lan couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he called Odin to stop.

"It's okay, let him hone it." Odin turned around with a smile on his face.

"Do you need to send someone to protect him?" Lan asked.

Due to the fierce fighting, disharmonious voices gradually appeared among the people who had originally sought refuge in Hongdu.Many people attribute the reason for the pirate attack to Warren, for example, Warren offended some important person in Bethel, or news that some secret treasure was stolen is circulating among the asylum seekers.The elderly and children are fine. For those adults, the oppressive environment breeds their irritability. For this reason, Warren had to strengthen the vigilance of the refugee camp.Lan believes that this place is too dangerous for a one-year-old child.

"Protection? No need." Odin shook his head. "Feret reported this to me. He wanted to go there to convey his feelings to the asylum seekers. I approved his idea."

"But, he's only one year old..."

"Blue..." Odin looked into the eyes of the robot and said, "Don't worry. For half-humans, the time for us to grow up is very short, and many people will start working when they are two years old. If you can't become a strong person before then If we don't, we will be swallowed by this starry sky soon. Weak half-humans are worthless in the eyes of natural people. If we can't force ourselves to become stronger, then what we will eventually leave is a line that will be eliminated by natural people. There are records."

"I can't understand your words. For robots, the value of our existence is to serve humans, and any job is the same for us. I never thought about what should be left after the damage." Blue The expression is a little puzzled.

"This is the different way of survival between half-humans and robots! You don't have real thoughts, so you just sacrifice blindly, but we are living and thinking people! How can we endure being used as machines? But ..." Odin paused, then smiled, "Warren will be sad if you are really damaged!"

"Well..." Lan nodded, "He told me that he asked me to take my value in his eyes into the calculation."

A slightly surprised expression appeared on Odin's face. "Two weird guys." He muttered, his eyes rolling suddenly. "Blue, do you know how to keep Warren working?"

"I have no right to disturb his rest." Blue repeated seriously.

"But you do want him to pick himself up and lead us to win this war, don't you?"

The robot frowned, then nodded.

"For humans, sex is a great way to relieve stress."

"Huh? Should I find a partner for Warren? But the current situation is very difficult, whether it is a custom robot or in Hong, it is necessary to choose a suitable candidate..."

"No, no, no, when a man is under pressure, he will not let strangers approach him. Think about my suggestion carefully, and letting him go on like this will cause psychological problems."

Odin smiled meaningfully, while Lan was lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the refugee camp—

After the last war, most of the villas where the refugees lived were bombed.Fortunately, the evacuation was carried out before, and the casualties were not large.At present, all the asylum seekers are concentrated in a large air-raid shelter shaped a bit like a shell, and there are some simple rooms built on both sides of the air-raid shelter.The food and water needed by the asylum seekers will be delivered by the guards, and those inside cannot easily go out.This arrangement exacerbates negativity among asylum seekers.However, because Charlie, who was in charge of communicating with the refugees before, was not in the Red Capital, and Warren couldn't spare more manpower to communicate with the refugees, so doing this was also a helpless choice.After all, as long as one of the asylum seekers colludes with the pirates, it will have devastating consequences for the entire Red City.

The white-haired boy entered the air-raid shelter with the food delivery guards.Obviously, it was not the first time for him to come here, and several asylum seekers who recognized him smiled and greeted him rarely.Everyone knows that he is the adopted son of the adjutant of the Slim Chamber of Commerce, and his identity is not simple.Coupled with his cute appearance and young age, this little boy's popularity among asylum seekers was unexpectedly high.

"Feret, what music are you going to play today?" A curious female refugee asked.

The half-human boy of the ferret family likes to play the piccolo very much. After the war started, he would occasionally go to the refugee's camp to practice, using music to soothe everyone's emotions.

"A tune I made myself." Ferret's fluffy ears moved as he spoke.

"Huh? Can Ferret compose his own music?" No wonder the refugees around him were so surprised. In fact, Ferret's performance level is just getting started, and he is still far away from being able to compose.

"Yes." Ferret's eyes were a little sad for some reason.He put the flute to his lips and tested the sound.

Curious asylum seekers began to call for their companions, and being able to listen to a little live music was considered a rare entertainment for them now.What's more, Ferret represented the attitude of Red City towards them to a certain extent. It was not a simple and rough detention, but a more gentle and caring attitude.

The piece composed by the young man was only a short section. Although he had practiced many times before, he still played a few wrong notes because of nervousness when he first started playing.But soon he found the trick, the tension in his heart gradually disappeared, and a short piece of music repeated, repeated, repeated in everyone's ears, and became more and more proficient and smooth.

Suddenly, everyone present seemed to have seen the tragic battle a few days ago. It was a arduous battle to shoot down the high-ranking warship by ground force alone.Around them someone died, someone was injured, and they witnessed more death and destruction, but in the end the Red City side won!

The shield is still shining in the sky, they are safe.

The white-haired boy shed tears when people were immersed in the music. He kept on playing until his disordered breathing could no longer allow him to concentrate.

"A few days ago, two people died trying to save me, and I watched as one of them died in front of me, and the other picked me up and rushed me out of the collapsing house. I was just a useless child, I can't guard this planet with my hands, but they are different, they are warriors, they are our patron saints! Everyone standing here, like me, is guarded by them with both hands. But now, apart from participating I can't do anything about their funeral, I don't even know the names of those two uncles! I'm so useless, why do people like me exist in the world? I keep thinking about this question, sometimes I cried and lost consciousness, and then woke up crying again. If only I had never existed! When I was thinking this way, this melody suddenly appeared in my mind, and it reminded me repeatedly that my life How important it is, tell me that saving me and protecting me is the wish of those who died for me. Why does this happen? I have never heard such a piece of music, but it just keeps repeating in my head. Later I finally understood. Probably because those who saved me, even though they had left, still did not give up protecting me, that’s why they sent this melody to my ears, so that the useless me Pass this piece of music on to everyone! I think, even if we can’t help, but... But at least we should learn to trust, trust in those who never gave up protecting us until death, trust in Dad, trust in Uncle Warren, trust in our feet soil of!"

On July 1212, 7 in the Milky Way calendar, more than 18 young and middle-aged refugees volunteered to join the Red Capital Guard Army. They offered to leave their families in the refugee camp to be monitored by the Slim Chamber of Commerce, in order to protect themselves loyalty.The next day, Warren, who finally stopped shutting himself in the room, accepted the offer, but he dismissed subsequent requests.Warren ordered the dismantling of the asylum camps, putting all those who would help into appropriate positions, and sending children, the elderly, and the wounded to safety.So far, these "outsiders" have finally merged with Hongdu.

For more than a month after that, the situation of the battle remained stalemate.
