Chapter 453 Xiao 5 goes home 3
Muchen, Sirong, and the aunt walked all the way to the garbage mountain.
After searching inside for the whole morning, we started to head back when the temperature rose.
Although the aunties were walking, they had simple carts that they could tow.
If the scene were changed, everyone would think they were going to the supermarket to grab eggs.
During the casual chat along the way, Sirong and the others also learned about the latest situation of the aunt's family.
The living conditions on their garbage planet are poor, and they cannot enjoy the welfare benefits of the main planet.
Aside from the locals who were defeated in the war and left to fend for themselves, some people who lived here were exiled.
Although this is not an interstellar prison, some abandoned children from families or those who have been framed may be thrown here.
So the aunties wouldn't be too surprised to see strangers like Sirong and Muchen.
Of course, they would not delve too much into their origins.
It's just a simple interaction. If you feel you can get along with this person, get closer to them.
If it doesn't feel right, keep some distance.
After all, regardless of whether they are good or bad, those who can come here are generally characters with no great abilities.
Even if he was a very powerful character before, once he fell into their hands, it meant that he had become their defeated opponent.
"My old waist isn't any better," the old lady gasped, sweat washing out gray streaks on her face and merging into the deep wrinkles on her neck.
She pulled the cart behind her hard, and the rough canvas bag was pushed out into a bulge by the sharp corners inside.
"But I was lucky today. I found an energy buffer box that wasn't completely leaked. I can exchange it for some 'muddy powder'."
The "powder" she mentioned is the cheapest and most common synthetic nutritional paste in the local area. It is so rough that even the main planet finds it too rough to feed livestock.
The aunt’s surname is Wang. Besides herself, there is a little granddaughter named Guoguo in the family.
The old man passed away a few years ago, and his son and daughter-in-law are no longer on the garbage planet. They followed the pioneer team to other planets.
Trash aliens like them have no right to live on other planets.
But it is possible to join the pioneer team.
The pioneer team, as the name suggests, is to explore planets that have not been discovered by interstellar people.
Explore unknown star regions and mark new resources.
It sounds like the beginning of an interstellar saga. But the dark corners of the universe are never generous.
You may make a fortune by unearthing a mineral-rich planet, or you may step into a death swamp filled with an unknown virus, or run head-on into the cold claws of the Zerg.
Or they may be robbed by wandering interstellar pirates as fat sheep and their bodies left for stardust.
The mortality rate is a real number that is never mentioned in the main news. Going to the pioneer team is like putting your life on the table.
Aunt Wang smiled happily, even though her son and daughter-in-law were doing something risky.
But there is also an opportunity to change your destiny.
She no longer wants to leave here in her life, but Guoguo is still young.
When they can save enough money and buy tickets to other planets, Guoguo and his family will be able to live a normal life on other planets.
By then I will be able to wear clean clothes and go to school.
Aunt Wang felt happy just thinking about it.
Sirong looked at the little girl following Aunt Wang, who looked about five or six years old.
When I asked Aunt Wang, she found out she was only four years old.
Interstellar children just grow up fast.
The little girl has good physical strength. After working this morning, she doesn't look tired at all.
On the way back, he was still jumping around.
Aunt Wang has a car at home, but an important part of the car broke down a few days ago.
Mr. Li, who is in charge of the repair, doesn’t have any spare parts, so you can only rely on luck if you want to fix it.
Twice a month, alien spacecraft come here to dump their garbage.
I'll see if I can find the right accessories then.
Lao Li has a little relationship with the person who drives the spaceship.
They will also sell some waste products discarded from other planets to Lao Li at a low price.
If you have expired nutrient solution and paste, you can trade them with Lao Li.
After returning to the gathering place, Aunt Wang led Sirong and Muchen to find their leader.
We found them a temporary residence.
It's a container-like house with no other items inside, not even a bed.
If they wanted something, they could go to the market they saw yesterday and buy it with star coins. If they didn’t even have star coins, they could only pick it up from the garbage dump.
The afternoon is the time for them to sort and trade the waste, and everyone is basically at home.
Sirong and Muchen were also staying in the container.
A set of bamboo tables and chairs were taken out from the space, providing a place to sit temporarily.
There is also a set of teacups, but I’ll leave the rest for now.
"Xiao 5, how are things going over there? Have you contacted the spaceship's intelligent computer?" Muchen took a sip of tea and asked Xiao 5.
"I can sense where he is, but there's no way to talk to him." Xiao 5 was very anxious. She had already returned to the interstellar space, but she knew nothing about the situation outside.
This garbage planet cannot connect to the main planet.
In other words, even if they have intelligent computers, they cannot access the interstellar network and are completely clueless about what is happening outside.
Sirong asked Xiao 5: "Can you sense where he is? Let's go look for him."
"It was in the trading market yesterday!" Xiao 5 replied.
Sirong looked at Muchen, who was fiddling with the parts in his hand. They were the ones they found in the garbage mountain today.
"That's perfect. When Aunt Wang comes out, we can go to the market together and sell the things we have today to see what we can get in return." Muchen said.
"it is good."
When Aunt Wang went out, she knocked on their door twice, signaling them to follow her out to the market.
Aunt Wang led the way: "This is your first time here, you don't know anyone, just follow me, so they won't bully you."
After arriving at the market, Aunt Wang walked all the way inside and led them to the counter, which was the place that Xiao 5 sensed in his mind.
The trading market ferments under the high temperature of the garbage planet. The turbid heat mixed with the complex smell of metal rust, inferior fuel and unknown chemicals, like an oil-stained net covering everyone's head.
The light filtered through the crooked, grimy cracks in the ceiling, casting distorted and swaying spots of light.
Aunt Wang navigated the crowded and noisy streets with familiarity.
Her steps were steady and quick, her tattered vest soaked with sweat and clung to her hunched back.
Sirong and Muchen followed closely behind, both carrying the "goods" they had found today, a few relatively intact radiators.
A small bundle of fairly tough synthetic rope and a few small bearings in varying degrees of rust. It wasn't worth much, but it was hard-earned money.
