Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

"Because the army can only be used by the royal family and nobles, it is too sad. There are 380 planets in the empire. It makes no sense that only the citizens of the imperial capital can be protected."

"So even if the Legion of Glory becomes a so-called rebel, since the name of rebel is added by someone we don't support, what can it do to hinder it?"

Tang Tao was stunned.

"Yes." Lian Ting looked at him, "We don't support people. You have also seen the situation on this planet, what do you think?"

Tang Tao's voice was difficult: "Indeed... there is no need for support."

This is the second time he wonders why nobles can be so dirty.

The first time it was just a guess, he seemed to see a corner, but he still couldn't believe it.But now he can no longer cover his eyes. Before that, he just understood, but he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't make a clear determination.But now, he finally clearly realized that what the nobles need is a complete overthrow.

Otherwise, what would the empire look like?

He was quite in favor of the general's unity of government and the sole rule of the government.He naturally understood that the so-called freedom and democracy before were actually just to cover up the ambitions of the nobility, and to cover up the empire of the unequal, ruthless, and exploitative class system ruled by the nobility.

"So..." Lian Ting continued, "What I plan to do is to help what they all want to do."

Tang Tao looked deeply into Lian Ting's eyes, as if he was moved, he nodded solemnly and determinedly, "Okay, I will do it too."

Lian Ting didn't look at him again, "You just need to protect yourself."

Tang Tao: "..."

Lian Ting knew in his heart that such a trap would not last long.

The water source distributed by the officials to the residents is definitely not enough to supply them with drinking water, and none of them have been under the influence of the imperial government for a long time, but all of them have relied on killing sand ants to obtain survival resources since birth .Peace and quiet are not what they hold on to.

Lian Ting calculated the trajectory of the monitoring equipment in the sky, and after staying in the lane for 5 minutes, he took Tang Tao to transfer.

The hiding place is close to the outside of the city, within easy reach of the city isolation cover, and this is the place where the cruising monitoring instruments pass the least.

After a while, it was night, and the two light sources in the sky fell silent, replaced by a dark blue and clean sky.There are obvious starlight above the desert outside, sometimes flickering, and a river-like silver star road is laid out in the center, separating the north and south of the sky like strips.

Lian Ting leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed, quietly looking at the center of the desert. .

Tang Tao has never seen such a scene in the sky, and he stares into the distance as if attracted.Lian Ting couldn't help looking sideways, wondering if Tang Tao knew how to observe the environment over there?

Then he saw Tang Tao took out his terminal and took a picture of the starry sky.

"..."

For some reason, Lian Ting also suddenly felt some inexplicable touch.He took out the terminal and flicked back and forth through the address book with some hesitation.After a while, I made up my mind and clicked on the first name "Tang Chu".

Although I know that the other party may still not receive the message, but...

He moved his fingers slightly, and three words quickly appeared on the screen and were sent quickly.

--"miss you."

The wind above the desert in the distance is still very calm, but the stars in the sky seem to be the lights in the mysterious city in the middle of the desert, brilliant and prosperous.

But suddenly, a tense atmosphere spread in the air, as if they were agitated a lot.The next moment, the wall behind him vibrated slightly, and the city suddenly became noisy.

The sound of chaotic footsteps fell dull and heavy on the dirt floor of the street, and the sound of footsteps trampling on the stairs seemed to be that the entire Black Cloud City was rushing out.Lian Ting immediately looked towards the east and observed for five seconds, only to find that the flying monitoring instrument was no longer on its original orbit.

Tang Tao looked a little flustered, but still calmed down, and said with a trembling voice:

"Is something wrong?"

Lian Ting comforted him with his eyes, motioned him to stay where he was, and then went out to cut the lane by himself.

While going out, the clothes on his body have been changed into earth-colored linen robes, and his hair is messy covering most of his face. The surveillance equipment cannot scan his face. This outfit is not inconsistent with other local people.

There was chaos outside, everyone rushed out of their residences at the same time, racing against time, a group of people rushed outside along the central street facing the translucent hood that wrapped Heiyun City.

The crowd piled up on the street, and some people rushed out of the cover and went outside, heading for the desert.Because someone went out, the warning device was triggered in an instant, and the small signal bases arranged made a piercing sound, and the people who rushed out did not stop.

As a result, a long, whirling sound resounded over the entire city, hovering round and round in the entire city.At the same time, the cover that surrounded the entire city suddenly had an electric current flow through it, and there was a soft "crack", and the people who were passing through the cover trembled, and their whole bodies turned into charred and shriveled corpses, and they fell to the ground lightly without any weight. up.

The hood was closed, and this time, they really became trapped beasts.

A person stepped forward and struck the blue cover vigorously, and the electric current climbed up his body in an instant. a sculpture.

Lian Ting, who watched all this from a little distance away, frowned and returned to where Tang Tao was.

When Tang Tao saw Lian Ting, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, outside..."

Lian Ting suddenly grabbed Tang Tao by the collar and dragged him close to the wall, Tang Tao fell silent for a moment, and saw another person sneaking in from the other side.Lian Ting used his mental power to ascertain the opponent's strength the moment the opponent appeared. Knowing that the opponent was just an ordinary resident, he invaded his body in an instant, like a ghost, and held him back with one hand before the opponent could react. The opponent's arm, the other hand strangled the opponent's neck.

The person who was restrained was startled, and quickly calmed down. It was a delicate female voice:

"I'm not the governor's person, I'm a local resident. Let me go, you can have something to say..."

Relying on his good eyesight, Lian Ting looked at this man under the light of the shimmering city shield.What surprised him was that he had seen this man before.

The unretractable rabbit ears that were pressed under the hat, and the long and slender cat's tail protruding from under the cloak behind him...

She was bought from the "Wind City" on planet B-7 at the beginning of Tang Dynasty and brought to the Imperial Capital as a gift for Tang Tao. She was the slave girl he saw on planet B-11 some time ago.

Lian Ting let go of the restraint on her, but secretly kept on guard at any time, while looking at Tang Tao.

Tang Tao also saw clearly the woman's face under the cloak, recognized it, took a step forward slightly, and said:

"you……"

Before Lian Ting could stop Tang Tao, he saw that the female slave seemed to be avoiding some kind of scourge. Under Tang Tao's short approach, she hurriedly backed up more than ten steps until she leaned against the wall and put her body strapped to her chest. A burden on the front is transferred to the back.

Lian Ting gave Tang Tao a look, signaling him not to act rashly.Now that their appearance has been modified, it is difficult to identify their true identities, so it is not easy to show them in front of this woman.

Tang Tao seemed to be a little excited, but his expression was complicated despite trying to suppress it.Lian Ting stood between Tang Tao and the woman, his voice changed a little, his tone indifferent:

"What are you doing here?"

The woman hid the things she was carrying behind her back, and there was nothing to panic at the moment. She raised her arms and took off the hat on her head, revealing two soft rabbit ears that were dyed gray.Her clothes are not conspicuous, but her face is beautiful and charming, her good face is clean and fair, her eyes are moist, and she has a protective temperament unique to the tough folk customs here.

She lightly pinched a sleeve of Lian Ting's sleeve, with a mournful expression:

"It's too chaotic outside, they are going to die...My lord and I are smart people, we don't want to get involved with them, so we come here to hide for now."

Of course Lian Ting didn't believe it, if he just didn't want to rush out with these people in search of water, he could just stay in his residence.but……

Shouldn't she be a slave, without citizenship?Even if the empire has amended the law, she doesn't seem to be eligible for 20 years of hard labor or military service.And in this Black Cloud City, those foreign officials have stipulated the requirements of everyone living here, and the identity information must be entered centrally.

Lian Ting was thinking about the situation outside, so it was inconvenient to entangle her too much.He touched the upper edge of his ear, actually scanning the woman's body with military equipment.No weapon was found on her, so Lian Ting handed her over to Tang Tao directly:

"Stay here and watch her."

Tang Tao nodded silently.

Lian Ting gave Tang Tao a slight nod, and went out again.

Many aircrafts have rushed outside, some with weapons to control the crowd in the city first, while others went outside to chase those who had already escaped.The corpses beside the shield were cleaned up by the robot, and everyone on the street squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the aircraft pointed their weapons at them.

The atmosphere is burning.Most people stared at those aircraft with resentment and dissatisfaction. Although they were powerful, since they did not benefit the ruler of the empire, naturally they would not have much respect for it.This is a rough planet full of wind and sand, and the residents have a tough style, and they will not only succumb to such foreign rights.

The dissatisfaction seemed to have substance, which made the people on the aircraft feel a little panicked.They fired a few shots at the crowd below, and said solemnly:

"City residents must not leave the city without reason! The outside world is adjacent to the desert, and there are insects and beasts invading. This is to protect you!"

Few people paid attention to the person who was hit, and their eyes were still burning.
