In the vast universe, the deep starry sky, a "Swordfish" spacecraft that looks like a giant shark is sailing at high speed in the colorful and brilliant Milky Way.
This is the transport ship No. 703C of Star Aerospace Company's No. 101 fleet. It was originally carrying a new batch of workers to the Black Gold 3 starship, but the connection module at the airport was intercepted by Dinmon and Vader.
.
Wade first shut down the communication system on the ship, and then Dinmen, who followed him, used his identity as a fake mercenary to close the exit, trapping more than fifty crew members in the connecting hatchway. When the handover of the other two transport ships was completed, No. 703C
He quietly followed him out of the port and successfully escaped from the transport ship.
As for the captain, first mate, second mate and others, they were shot to death by Vader mercilessly when they boarded the ship. Din Meng also sat back and ignored this. He couldn't care about so much at the moment. Sometimes the principle of survival is
It's so simple. If you don't die, then we will die. There is no choice at all.
However, the crew member Ding Meng who was trapped in the connecting channel did not kill him because these ordinary employees were not a threat to them at all.
At this moment, the automatic navigation system has been turned on. What Vader and Dinmen have to do is to replenish energy and restore their physical strength in the rest area on the spacecraft.
Looking at the stars flying by outside the cabin, Wade looked worried. His wife was still in the Federation, but he was going in the direction of the Empire. He didn't know when he would see him again. Maybe it would be tomorrow, maybe there would be no tomorrow.
…
Ding Meng had already taken off his mercenary soft armor and put on the crew uniform of Xingda Company. After enjoying twelve plates of sirloin steak, twenty-one salads, and thirty plates of vegetables, he put down his knife with satisfaction.
Fork, and also wiped out seven bottles of iced black tea on the dining table.
In this era of advanced technology, food is one of the most luxurious enjoyments for human beings.
Think about it, the workers at the Black Gold Base use the lowest-end industrial cheap nutrient solution, which is commonly used in ordinary human households, and is often a slightly better high-polymer compressed solution. Lift the lid of the test tube and take a sip.
The whole process takes less than 10 seconds, and your meal is over, and you won't enjoy half the fun of eating at all.
Therefore, all kinds of delicacies are often the exclusive preserve of the rich. Ding Meng never expected that Xingda Company's transport ships would actually contain these good goods.
After struggling on the verge of life and death for many years, it is unknown whether there will be another meal after this meal. Besides, energy users consume a lot of energy, and junior energy users need a lot of food to nourish themselves, so there is no reason at all.
Don't enjoy it.
After enjoying the Western food, Ding Meng's attention was attracted by the control system on the spacecraft. The central screen showed that only one of the ship's 1,780 worker dormant cabins was in use. In other words, the batch of workers sent had to
one.
What is this? Ding Meng was extremely curious.
I think he was in a dormant cabin when he was sent here, so he didn't know anything about the outside world after arriving at the Black Gold Base.
But one thing he can figure out is that workers are an inferior group of people, and the cabin rations they usually receive are pitiful. Even the transportation company does everything they can to treat them. Many people starve to death as soon as they leave the cabin.
It's so common.
"There is only one person, so let's let him out and have a look." Ding Meng still has no prejudice against workers. We are all human beings, so why should we treat him differently? I was also a coolie.
Wade had no objection at all to this. Even if he had an opinion, he would have no opinion at all. For a ruthless character like Din Meng who could kill even Julie, it was just a matter of stretching out his hand to crush him to death.
Soon, the door to the rest area opened automatically, and a slovenly man in ragged clothes stumbled in. Judging from the posture that he was about to fall to the ground at any time, he was probably too hungry to bear it.
Ding Meng was too lazy to say anything and pointed to the dining table not far away, where there were several steaks that he had not finished.
The man's eyes suddenly shone brightly, like a wild wolf that had been hungry for many days and saw fresh prey. However, when he sat down at the dining table, he immediately seemed like a different person.
He became unusually calm. He straightened his back first, then carefully wrapped the napkin around his neck. Like a real gentleman, he picked up the borscht and took a sip with a very elegant movement.
Then he held the knife in his right hand and the fork in his left hand, cut off a small piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly...
If we compare Ding Meng's eating appearance with him, then Ding Meng is like a hungry dog pouncing on shit, tearing, biting, gnawing, chewing when he rushes forward... the wind blows with the wind and the remaining clouds sweep away thousands of troops.
But this man is like a real aristocrat, with solemn, elegant and romantic gestures. Even if he is a laborer, even if he is very hungry, his Western food etiquette is so exquisite that you are speechless. Even Wade is watching.
Eyes straightened.
It wasn't until the man slowly finished the plate of steak and probably regained some strength that he put down the tableware and murmured: "What a pity, what a pity."
"What's a pity?" Ding Meng couldn't help it.
The man sighed: "The environment here is barely adequate. Unfortunately, the steak is refrigerated and needs to be medium-ripe. Also, it is a pity that there is no red wine. The key is that there is no fruit after the meal. This is not how Western food is eaten...
…”
Hearing what he said, Ding Meng was so angry that he laughed. You are already like this, why do you still care about this? Do you really think you are one of the rich and powerful people in the Federation Empire?
"What else do you want?" Ding Meng stared at him.
The man ignored him at all. He found a sofa nearby and sat down to rest. He seemed about to take a nap.
Ding Meng couldn't help but said: "I'm not a crew member."
"Yeah." The man didn't even open his eyes, he just snorted softly in response to him.
Ding Meng continued: "I am not from the refugee camp or the mercenary group."
The man didn't even say "um" this time, and it looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Ding Meng said: "I am also a laborer, and it was I who released you."
The man finally opened his eyes and said calmly: "Then I will thank you."
He was saying thank you, but his tone, demeanor, and eyes showed no hint of gratitude at all. It was as if Ding Meng was his servant and he should do these things.
However, instead of being angry about his arrogance, Ding Meng found it very interesting.
Look at him, sitting on that sofa, he is just like the federal president sitting on a large and comfortable sofa. He is so arrogant, as if he has forgotten that he is a worker.
Wade was also impressed. When he was giving orders in the exchange center, he was not as impressive as this guy.
But now on the way to escape, Ding Meng didn't bother to argue with this guy. After scanning his telepathic vision, he found that the threat level of the other party was basically zero. He also planned to sit down and take a nap.
In fact, as soon as he sat down, the sloppy man suddenly opened his eyes: "By the way, where are the crew members on this ship?"
He finally asked a question that a normal person should ask, and Ding Meng also drooped his eyelids: "Gone."
"Gone?" The slovenly man looked curious, "Why is it missing?"
"If it's gone, it's gone. Do you want to see it?" Ding Meng's answer was quite decisive. It was almost as if he had not said it.
Unexpectedly, the sloppy man nodded seriously: "Yes, it's gone. Where can there be so many ridiculous reasons?"
Ding Meng was speechless again. This guy made him completely lose his temper.
The slovenly man asked again: "Excuse me, can the crew room be used?"
Ding Meng immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"
The slovenly man replied seriously: "I want to take a hot bath. My current appearance is not very good."
His request was actually this. Ding Meng really couldn't laugh or cry. He thought to himself, it's not that your image is not good, it's that you have no image at all. To put it another way, what kind of image do you want as a coolie? What kind of image is that? It can be used as food.
?
Although he was muttering in his heart, he was still very generous. Ding Meng waved his hand: "Go, I won't take you there, you can find your own way."
"No problem." The sloppy man stood up slowly and walked slowly towards the exit.
But before he left the rest area, he walked back in a calm manner. Wade was very puzzled: "Why are you back again?"
The sloppy man still had a serious expression on his face: "I thought about it and decided not to wash it."
"Why?" Ding Meng was also quite puzzled.
The sloppy man said: "Taking a bath is too damaging to your vitality and is not good for your health."
Ding Meng couldn't laugh even if he wanted to laugh this time. I'm not a source energy user and I didn't say it hurt my vitality. You, an ordinary person, said the word "vital energy" to me?
Unexpectedly, the sloppy man stood up again not long after he sat down: "Forget it, I think I still need to take a shower."
Ding Meng and Wade were stunned at the same time: "Why is it this time?"
The sloppy man smiled sheepishly: "Compared with vitality, I still think personal image is more important."
