The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1747. Young Wanderer (Part 1)

[Flight R-A-3399C to Annaji Planet will take off in two hours. Passengers with tickets are asked to use their tickets to enter the spacecraft through the corresponding hatch as soon as possible...]

A pleasant electronic female voice echoed in the air, guiding the endless stream of people around to slowly move towards their destination.

A young man of 16 or 7 years old tightened his windproof cloak and looked around him warily. This is a very huge spaceport. The name of the spaceport - Hammer Harbor is displayed in the holographic projection above, and the large sign next to the port shows that this spaceport is owned by Lundilli Interstellar Power Company.

(Guess who he is?)

The surroundings were crowded with people, most of whom were humans. They were dragging their families and carrying a lot of luggage as they struggled to walk in the space port. A large number of soldiers holding electric batons and carrying blaster rifles are maintaining order. In order to facilitate identification, these soldiers are all wearing bright red fluorescent uniforms so that they can be seen at a glance.

Seeing those soldiers, the young man was a little nervous. He shook the boat ticket in his hand, his palms already soaked with sweat. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his head and walked forward along the passage.

On the holographic projections on both sides of the passage, information about the Principality of Dawn was continuously played, introducing the customs and good environment there, the original ecological planet, and the large number of job opportunities created for pioneering.

[Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn is the leader of the principality! The Principality of Dawn was able to develop and grow because of his wise leadership! In the Principality of Dawn, everyone can get a chance! All of this is a gift from Grand Duke Tang Xiao! He gave us job opportunities, generous remuneration, and a warm home! 】

When the young man heard Tang Xiao's name, he was shocked all over. He raised his head and looked at the majestic Tang Xiao in military uniform in the projection, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

At this time, he suddenly frowned and raised his shoulders slightly. Almost at the same time, a big hand reached out and tried to push him, but it was in vain. Then I heard a rough voice saying: "Can you please give way? It's already very crowded here. Don't stand there blocking the road."

"Uh...oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young man apologized quickly and looked behind him.

It was a big man with a height of nearly two meters, and his back was a bit hunched because he was too tall. On his shoulders sat a pair of twin children, one boy and one girl, who looked about 4 or 5 years old. But what was a bit strange was that there was no one else following this big man. He was the only one carrying a huge backpack and two children.

The young man didn't think about anything else, turned around and continued walking forward.

This spaceport is really too crowded, with people almost everywhere. Looking up, apart from the vast hall, all that can be seen are the backs of countless heads. The air is filled with the smell of sweat, and the surroundings are filled with conversations, noises, laughter, and crying...

All kinds of people gather here, bringing their families with them, preparing to start a new life in a new place.

It's just that although it is said so well in the holographic projection, the current congestion level of the space port really makes people associate it with a better future. All you can feel here is depression and helplessness...

"Mom...I want to go home..."

"Are you sure there will be a job as an architect over there for you? Son. I'm old, you shouldn't carry me around with you as a burden..."

"Damn it, I left my hologame at home!"

"I heard that the Principality of Dawn defeated the Galactic Republic, so the channel could be opened. It's better to go there than now."

As the young man moved forward, he listened to the words of those around him reaching his ears. He was much sharper than others, and naturally these things could not escape his senses. But now, these numerous words and various emotions filled his mind, making him feel even more depressed.

There were so many people that I couldn't even move forward, so I could only move forward in small steps.

In the sky, a large number of drones are flying around. Only when these drones driven by simple propeller structures fly by, the strong winds will make the air a little fresher.

[Lokarin, a 9-year-old girl with blond hair and wearing a red dress. Passengers who see this little girl are asked to report it to the nearest drone as soon as possible...]

【Nutrient! Nutritional supplements with peach and sweet orange flavors! Passengers in need please raise your hand, the catering drone is at your service at any time. 】

[Passengers who have lost items should report it to the nearest drone immediately, and then search for your lost items on the lost items list. After review and confirmation, a cargo drone will deliver the items to you, and we will charge a certain fee based on the weight of the items. Thank you. 】

[A robbery has occurred in area T-098, please arrive with armed drones immediately. 】

Various drones were flying around in the sky, cooperating with soldiers on the ground to maintain order.

Following the crowd, we continued to move forward. Here, there were more than a dozen soldiers dividing the crowd. "The electromagnetic sliding channel on the left is already too crowded! If you have the strength to walk by yourself, try to take the right channel!"

The soldiers waved the electric batons in their hands. Although there was no electricity, they obviously didn't bother to talk nonsense to these people. A soldier said loudly to the young man: "Go that way, go that way! Those with good arms and legs can squeeze into the electromagnetic taxiing channel!"

"It's okay for me, I can walk on my own." Behind the young man, the big man with two children said proactively, and then followed him this way.

The young man didn't say much. He avoided the soldiers' pushing and continued to move forward. He saw bursts of light coming from the passage next to him from time to time, and then he saw only a platform full of people gliding forward quickly, and in a few seconds they reached the other end of the passage hundreds of meters away.

This device, which is usually used to facilitate passage, can now only be used by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled because there are too many people.

It took a full 20 minutes to walk through this passage and arrive at a larger hall in front, where the view suddenly became clearer. Through the glass curtain wall, I could only see an extremely huge spaceship docked in front.

This spaceship is so huge that you can't even see the end of it from this place! Looking up, if it weren't for the glass dome, you wouldn't be able to see the top of the spacecraft, which is at least two hundred meters high!

[This is flight R-A-3399C to Planet Annaji. Please determine the boarding port based on the ticket in your hand. 】The radio said above the head.

The flow of people began to separate here, and the surroundings suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. (End of chapter)
