MTL - Inheriting a Desolate Star-Chapter 49 049
Iron Tree City.
The bridge built with ropes and iron chains swayed in the high-altitude wind, and the branches and leaves of the iron trees swayed, making a simulated rustling sound.
Although Ning Buyi knew that the interstellar city would be strange, the avenue of Iron Tree City still made her legs weak and her heart frightened. This feeling was worse than the glass plank road that she walked before. She likes the universe, but doesn't like high altitudes.
"Help me." Hua Zhuoyu stretched out his hand towards Ning Buyi. They could actually take a speeding car back to their "dwelling" on the tree branch, but Ning Buyi offered to "inspect" the surrounding environment. Look, it's her who has weak legs first.
Ning Buyi glimpsed a smile from Hua Zhuoyu's eyes, her face flushed slightly, and she gave Hua Zhuoyu a somewhat embarrassed look, but her body was still honest, and she directly put her hand on it. It may be that the warm skin touched by her fingertips melted away her fear, and when she looked down to the cloud-shrouded area, she felt that she was not so panic-stricken.
"There are a lot of patrolling fleets around." Ning Buyi looked around and said suddenly.
Hua Zhuoyu tilted his head, blinked and said, "Maybe it's because there are many terrorist attacks here?"
Ning Buyi's eyelids twitched suddenly, and subconsciously asked: "What terrorist attack? Targeted at you?"
Hua Zhuoyu: "Strictly speaking, it is aimed at the judges of the Star Court."
Ning Buyi: "..." Is that different from targeting Hua Zhuoyu? "Why?" Ning Buyi asked, with concern in his eyes. Today's Hua Zhuoyu is classified as "one of my own" by her, so she will naturally not be afraid to express it.
"Some people who are paranoid think that the appearance of the judge will bring death. They think that the judge is the executioner, the massacre, and the chief culprit who made them leave their homes." Hua Zhuoyu replied casually. Although the status of the Star Court is transcendent, not everyone will recognize the existence of judges and maintain high respect for them. No force can be welcomed by everyone, just like the base of Shanhaixing, it has paid enough, but some people are still dissatisfied with it.
"Isn't this deceiving oneself?" Ning Buyi felt wronged for Hua Zhuoyu.
While speaking, they had entered the "bird's nest" along the tiny branches. The house is not big, similar to the bungalows in the Shanhaixing Base. At the junction of the living room and the bedroom, there is not a door, but a series of dark blue imitation curtains hanging down. The pattern on it is the sun, moon and stars. Generally speaking, it is not ugly, but it does not match "exquisite" or "beautiful".
"There will be some gorgeous 'bird's nests', or 'tree houses' on the upper floor." Hua Zhuoyu noticed Ning Buyi's gaze, she smiled, pointed to the "concave" soft chair, and said, " Come here and relax." As she spoke, she threw a cushion into the chair.
Ning Buyi followed Hua Zhuoyu's instructions and sat down on the cushion, his tense nerves were completely relaxed, allowing the pressure from the encounter with the "robber" to be completely released.
Nine-tailed Fox carried the Rubik's Cube and ran to another room to play, but Hua Zhuoyu didn't stop her, and now there were only two of them left in the living room.
"Maybe now you can tell me why you insist on coming to the giant scythe?" Hua Zhuoyu dug out a can of energy drink from the refrigerator and handed it to Ning Buyi. Soon, she added with a smile , "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I'll just pretend that you came here to see me."
"You have a good idea." Ning Buyi glanced at Hua Zhuoyu, she hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "The will of the planet."
A bit of astonishment appeared on Hua Zhuoyu's face. She thought about many possibilities, but they were all related to plants, and she couldn't think of the will of the planet at all. The smile on her face narrowed slightly, she looked at Ning Buyi with a serious face, frowned and said: "The will of the dead planet will become the star core, and finally be collected in the star court. The whereabouts of the surviving planet consciousness are unpredictable, appearing The probability of being in front of human beings is extremely small. Even if you have been blessed by the will of the planet, you are not likely to encounter a second one."
"I know." Ning Buyi looked at Hua Zhuoyu and said stubbornly, "But I still want to try."
"The scythe star is declining. It is different from the slow decline of the mountain and sea star. There is almost no possibility of recovery." Hua Zhuoyu was silent for a while before slowly saying, "As a judge, I can perceive the state of the planet's will, but I cannot I'm afraid I can't help you find its whereabouts."
"It's okay." Ning Buyi thought for a while before adding, "I seem to be able to sense it."
Although there is no response from the Mountain and Sea Illustrated Book at the moment, Ning Buyi believes that since it released such a mission, it can naturally capture the "planet will". But at present, Ning Buyi still doesn't understand how the Mountain and Sea Illustrated Book is upgraded, is it by devouring the "planet will"? But if the "will" of a planet dies, it is equivalent to a death star. Isn't it a bit evil to upgrade according to this method?
Hua Zhuoyu nodded and did not continue to ask. She moved a chair to Ning Buyi's side, stared at Ning Buyi, and said, "How much do you know about the Sickle Star?"
"I've read all the important information that can appear on the star network. As for the others—" Ning Buyi looked at Hua Zhuoyu, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "I planned to learn about it in the city, but now it seems unnecessary."
"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you." Hua Zhuoyu smiled, she folded her hands on her lap, and narrated the recent situation of the giant scythe star.
Ning Buyi's eyes widened: "The consul directly abandoned this planet?" She had a new understanding of the quality of the empire's officials, and sure enough, no matter in ancient times or in the future, "abandoning the city and fleeing" is inevitable things.
Hua Zhuoyu nodded, and continued: "After the residents of the planet migrate out, the energy supply of the major cities on the scythe star will stop, and the infrastructure will no longer operate. As for those who voluntarily stay on the planet, they can Buying energy. But the problem now is that those who don't want to leave form so-called 'survivor alliances' to disrupt the migration of residents."
Ning Buyi stood up suddenly: "Are they crazy?"
"Some people are unwilling to part with their foundation, some are not able to see the light themselves, and some are because their own dark pollution has reached the point where it cannot be cured, and they intend to drag everyone into the water. As for the last one—" Hua Zhuoyu's eyes A shadow passed by, she looked up at Ning Buyi, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want you to fall into chaos because of a momentary soft heart."
"I—" Ning Buyi was at a loss for words for a moment. She really wanted to say "no", but she wasn't sure what she would do until she actually faced the situation. Faced with an interstellar fugitive or thief, she can be cold-hearted, but what if the other party uses old people, women, and children as disguises?
"I'm actually very assertive." Hua Zhuoyu didn't look away from Ning Buyi's face, and there was a bit of coldness in those tender and affectionate eyes, like snow on a glacier. "You have to be obedient." Hua Zhuoyu smiled again, but the corners of his eyes and brows were still cold.
Ning Buyi's heart trembled, she was not someone who was willing to be controlled by others. But at the moment when she met Hua Zhuoyu's eyes, she felt frightened for no reason, and chose to take a step back. "I see." Ning Buyi drooped her head, a little frustrated.
Hua Zhuoyu's heart suddenly sank when he saw Ning Buyi's expression. She hastily restrained the stern look in her eyebrows and stood up. Raising her hand, she pinned a strand of Ning Buyi's hair that covered her eyes to the back of her ear, and she said softly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to force you. But to me, your safety is very important, very very important. "
Ning Buyi heard Hua Zhuoyu say this more than once, with his cheeks supported by warm palms, he could only feel a rush of heat rushing up his spine, climbing towards the limbs and bones. "How important is it?" Her voice was very soft, and she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Hua Zhuoyu said without hesitation: "It's more important than anyone else. It's the same for the public, and it's the same for the private."
Ning Buyi pushed Hua Zhuoyu's hand away, she took a step back, then raised her hands to cover her flushed cheeks. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Don't do this."
"How is it?" Hua Zhuoyu's voice sounded.
Ning Buyi refused to raise his head, naturally he couldn't see Hua Zhuoyu's expression, but from the tone of her smiling tone, she could easily guess her seductive expression at the moment. She thought that after a period of adaptation, she would be immune to all Hua Zhuoyu's moods, but how could she know that Xinhu would be teased by her as soon as she met her, causing ripples to spread out.
"You're always like this, I'm afraid I'll think too much." Ning Buyi sighed, she slowly put down her hand, raised her head and stared at Hua Zhuoyu with those clear eyes. The moment she spoke, she thought she was nervous to the limit, but after the words fell, her nervousness disappeared, and she became extremely calm instead.
"Why do you feel—"
Hua Zhuoyu's words were interrupted by a knock on the door, she frowned, the "uninvited guest" had unconsciously pushed the door open.
"Why are you here?" He Chao strode into the room, the moment he saw Ning Buyi, his expression changed suddenly.
Ning Buyi: "..." At this moment, her dislike for He Chao reached its peak, and she might not have the chance to hear the second half of Hua Zhuoyu's words.
"Shouldn't you say this to yourself?" Hua Zhuoyu sneered, covering He Chao's sight that was impolitely falling towards Ning Buyi, "Could it be that you have been with dark pollution for a long time, your etiquette Are they all eroded? Or, you treat this place as your He family's compound, so you can come and go as you please?"
"I'm sorry." He Chao immediately bowed his head and apologized, "I just heard that the patrol ship encountered those desperadoes, so I was a little nervous."
"Does your nervousness have anything to do with me?" Hua Zhuoyu reprimanded rudely.
He Chao turned pale, and he opened his mouth to explain: "Zhuoyu, I'm just worried about your safety, I don't mean anything malicious."
"I don't need your concern, and I hate your offense even more. He Chao, I hope you can take some etiquette courses to understand what a sense of boundaries is." Hua Zhuoyu didn't care about He Chao's mood, she vented with a cold face Anger at being interrupted.
He Chao's face turned red and then pale. He lowered his head and repeated the word "sorry", and retreated outside the room again. He reached out and knocked on the door, and did not step in until he heard the word "please come in". .
"you-"
"Don't say what you care about, just call the name." Hua Zhuoyu interrupted He Chao's words.
He Chao pursed his lips: "Five days later, the support spacecraft from Construction Star will arrive soon. A small team will be sent from the front line to assist. It's just that His Royal Highness hopes that you can go to the front line to assist."
"Is it the responsibility of our star court to relocate residents and resist foreign enemies? Isn't it natural for the government to support you?" With a sneering smile, she said coldly, "Regardless of whether the residents are evacuated from the giant scythe, the trial will proceed as scheduled .”
He Chao looked anxious: "The will of the planet will die completely, and it will be even more difficult to resist dark pollution. Residents who have not migrated will be at greater risk of being eroded by dark pollution."
Before Hua Zhuoyu could speak, Ning Buyi retorted: "Why are you so sure that you won't be able to migrate successfully?" No matter how she looked at He Chao, she felt displeased, "Obviously the choice is in Xia Tu's hands, even if something happened. That's also Xia Tu's fault, what does it have to do with Ah Zhuo?"
He Chao, who was refuted by Ning Buyi, felt ashamed, and immediately shot his cold and stern eyes at Ning Buyi, and said loudly: "This is a matter of our Xingting."
Ning Buyi would not be intimidated by He Chao's loud voice, she said slowly and calmly: "The duty of your Star Court is to judge. I have never heard that judges need to be 'exchange students'."
Hua Zhuoyu smiled when she heard the words, and raised her eyebrows at He Chao: "What do you think, Mr. He?"
He Chao turned black with anger when he heard the three words of extreme estrangement. Fortunately, he still had reason. He suppressed the anger that was about to burst out of his chest, and said to Hua Zhuoyu, "I understand."
