Chapter 24 Going Home?

After a few days of wandering in the asteroid belt [Dui], the Silver officially set off to return to the base of the Knights.

What surprised Sean was that the base of the Silver Knights was actually the most prosperous and prosperous trading hub planet in the entire galaxy.

[Xun] has a very special status in the Gan galaxy. It is not the capital of the galaxy, but because of its unique geographical environment and historical origins, it has nearly half of the population of the entire galaxy - more than the capital [Kun], and nearly 60% of its wealth.

When Sean first arrived at the capital planet of Gan Galaxy, he was amazed at the prosperity of the local area. However, when the Silver appeared outside the atmosphere of [Xun], Sean realized that when it comes to prosperity, [Xun] seemed to be inferior to [Xun].

Looking down from space, I saw a prosperous scene on the surface of the planet. The metal-made building complex is like a dense steel forest, firmly occupying most of the planet's surface and presenting bizarrely under the rendering of lights.

In a trance, the Jedi apprentice seemed to have returned to Coruscant.

However, after a moment, as the planet rotates and the prosperity goes by, Sean sees the edge of this metal forest.

Not every corner enjoys the prosperity and glory of [Xun].

Beyond the prosperity, there are large desolate areas, abandoned old metal capital, bare desert, overdraft mines, and dry oceans... All of this is only a thread away from the brilliant lights.

The destination of the Silver is in an abandoned steel town.

I saw abandoned buildings full of rust, appearing in the desert in a staggered manner, surrounded by severely sandy rocks, thin vegetation was completely unable to maintain the soil, and the scattered quicksand covered the traces of people's survival on this land into a mottled and strange shape.

However, in the desolation, you can see vitality.

There are many metal buildings erected in the abandoned mines, most of which still maintain the basic structural shape and can still be used normally; several oasis carved out by hand are stubbornly rooted in the desert, and various dilapidated but still running machinery maintains the endless water source.

Then countless humans live here, even in poverty, people are still living tenaciously.

——

"I'm finally home."

Chen Sanwan, who was in the same room as Sean, stood at the window, overlooking the desolate land under his feet, but sighed happily like drinking strong wine, and twisted his body unconsciously, trying to show enthusiastic dance steps.

Sean asked curiously: "This is the base of the Silver Knights?"

Chen Sanwan corrected very seriously: "No, this is the home of the Silver Knights."

What is the difference between home and base?

The answer to this question was perfectly answered when Sean walked down the Silver.

——

"Boss Li, welcome back!"

"Brother Li, we just got a batch of good wine. Remember to come and drink at night!"

"Brother Li, after you have been there for so long, have you missed us sisters? Don't be bored with the old ones~"

"Boss, I heard you were coming back. I prepared the wine and food early. This time I cooked myself, so I must give it a look!"

When the Silver landed on a flat port covered with fine sand, dense crowds were gathered around.

Most of them were wearing simple and poor clothes, and were covered in dust due to the wind and sand, but people had their faces filled with satisfied smiles of their relatives' return, and they held various local products and gifts in their hands, as if they were welcoming the general who returned triumphantly.

Li Yu walked off the Silver Slot first and waved his arms very enthusiastically to respond to people's cheers.

"Haha, I'm grateful to you for your good wine. I'd like to mix a batch of wine with ten batches of water. I might as well drink more hot water just by drinking more!"

"Boss Li, don't be so many people to destroy me!"

"Sister Liu, you are more at ease. You are so old. You should find an honest person to take over earlier. Don't be fooled around. No matter how much you use cosmetics, you can't pretend to be a young man!"

"Damn!? You, who is surnamed Li, forgot that I was feeding you milk back then!?"

"Mr. Jin, I have been waiting for your specialty dishes for a long time, but I'll wait until you can really tell the difference between sugar and salt before hosting outsiders. It's so hard for me to go out, and I don't want to feel wronged my taste buds anymore."

"You boy grew up eating my meal!"

"So I've always had my childhood shadow haha!"

Li Yu and the people who were surrounding him spoke freely like relatives. While he was coping with the enthusiasm of the crowd, the rear cabin door of the Silver slowly opened, and the two robotic arms kept carrying huge metal boxes outwards, full of supplies urgently needed by the desolate residents.

Food, drinking water, medicine, mechanical tools...

Someone had already driven a simple transport ship and directed the broken second-hand robots to sort out the materials unloaded by the Silver No. 1 in a variety of categories, and then transported them to places where they were needed.

Li Yu's robot assistant Bai stood coldly in front of the cabin door, directing the allocation of supplies on the ship.

The robot always maintains its cold tone and does not add color to everyone who approaches.

"The excavation equipment in the third zone has been in place. Please open the mining tunnel as soon as possible as planned."

"The water purification chips of Shelter No. 7 are also in place. Please solve the drinking water problem of shelter residents within three days."

"There are five batches of emergency rations. Please refer to the representatives of the top five lottery positions to collect them."

...

Bai's distribution was orderly and there was no doubt that most of the people around her silently obeyed the command and maintained order on the scene.

But in the end, there are very few people who are unwilling to follow the crowd.

Several strong men, fully armed, crowded out of the crowd, stood in front of Bai, and shouted sternly.

"Hey, since you still have food here, why don't you give it to us!"

Baitou responded without raising his head: "The remaining batch of food is supplied to Chunquan Village, which has been famine for a long time, and there are many women and children, with the priority far higher than you newcomers."

The man who led the lead was a little anxious and funny: "Chunquan Village? There is only a group of wastes that cannot work or fight, right? In this abandoned area, why can women and children be given priority to us? Boss Li also wants to go out to fight, so he can bring people from our Brotherhood! The man from the Iron Fang Brotherhood has never lost to outsiders!"

Bai said coldly: "There is no need to be a waste on the Silver Slot who is brave enough to fight, nor does it need to regard women and children as cumbersome scumbags."

"Who do you think is a scum? Just scrap copper and rotten iron..."

Before the burly man could finish his words, several murderous figures appeared behind Bai.

They were all crew members on the Silver, some wore protective clothing from mechanics, some wore chef aprons, and some even wore pajamas and nightcaps, all looking like a good family that was not a combatant.

But from that hideous and hungry smile, there was no concealment to kill.

"Iron Tooth Brotherhood? Haven't you heard of it, newcomer?"

"I have a lot of courage to insult Mr. Bai in front of us."

"The whole mission was basically stuck on the boat by the boss, and he was worried that his hands were itchy and had nowhere to vent. Unexpectedly, a blind eye came to the door!"

"However, Boss Li has been warning us not to fight randomly."

"This kind of mess is also called a fight? At most, it is a sandbag. Did the boss never say he wouldn't let the sandbag be played?"

"It makes sense, then I'll give it to you first!"

While speaking, the armed men from the Iron Tooth Brotherhood watched a group of crew members rushing towards them with vicious vigor.

They subconsciously wanted to raise their weapons to fight, but found that the battle had ended long before they could react.

Everyone was knocked to the ground in an instant, and their arm holding arms were stylisted at strange angles. They used metal armor, heavy explosive guns and other equipment to show off their strength, and they did not play any role in close combat.

Everyone was like livestock on the slaughtering line, lying on the ground and unable to move.

As one of the parties involved, Bai Bai couldn't even look at the farce, as if everything was taken for granted, and he was still arranging supplies in an orderly manner.

Soon, the huge cargo hold of the Silver was completely emptied by her, and all kinds of supplies were flawlessly distributed to the poor people around her.

"Mr. Bai, thank you!"

"Next time, please be sure to visit our town. With this batch of emergency supplies, there will be a bumper harvest next year. Our specialty purple fruit is the best in the surrounding area!"

"By the way, Mr. Bai, there is another problem with our generator set. Can you please pay attention to the spare components for us next time you go out?"

...

Sean stood behind the crowd and watched the whole process, and finally realized why Li Yu, an extremely elite team, was always troubled by financial problems.

Because they have a warm and poor home.

Seeing the warmth and noise in this home, Sean suddenly felt that no matter what the reason why the Silver attacked the Nanjia Manor was... it didn't matter anymore.

Just as he thought of this, Sean suddenly felt someone approaching behind him.

It turned out that Li Yu had already dealt with the enthusiastic people, returned to the boat, and came to Sean's side.

"How is it, are you particularly moved? I feel like the Silver Knights are like a messenger of justice that is a heroic righteous person?"

Just as Sean was about to speak, Li Yu patted his shoulder hard and swallowed all the words back.

"If you think so, you're a big mistake. We are just a group of mortals who are struggling to survive. We have neither interest in the martyrs nor the energy to be righteous. Although this ship's life-saving supplies can make countless people laugh, more than 80% are not obtained through legal channels. So don't have any moral expectations for us and can't afford it."

Sean was silent for a while after hearing this, and asked, "Why do you want to tell me this?"

Li Yu laughed and said, "Because you look like a fool like a messenger of justice, I must make it clear in advance so that you can't drag others down if you do stupid things in the future. Remember, the Silver Knights have never been responsible for maintaining world peace and never pursue a sense of moral superiority."

"If you really want to do good deeds and can't hold back, I can donate 10 million Qiankun coins to the charity fund in your name, so that you can work on the silver account to pay off your debts for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you will follow the orders honestly and don't think about unnecessary things. You are in debt now, and your duty is to pay off your debts, do you understand?"

Sean nodded silently.
