The Star Knight - 7. Chapter VII

Aman was watching a movie in a dim stone room. It was a movie projector bought from a businessman by Opal last time, and three holographic movie chips from fifty to sixty years ago, watched repeatedly in that small space. .

Many miners are illiterate and can only use images for entertainment. In fact, in the modern era with highly developed information, everything can be communicated through images and sounds. Learning words is second. However, the amount of information conveyed by images and sounds is not as fast as words. It often takes a few minutes to interpret simple scenes that can be explained in one sentence.

A holographic projection instrument is placed in the corner of the stone room, and the hero and the heroine hug each other.

“Oh, Andalus…” A vague voice came from the egg-shaped projector.

Aman watched quietly, his voice was very small, and the three girls were chatting in another corner of the cellar, and Anya was among them.

Opal went up and turned off the projector. Oman recovered and said: “Are you back? Opal?”

“Opal!” Anya’s eyes lit up, and the girls whispered, with surprise in their voices.

“Anya.” Opal bowed slightly and greeted her. His eyes were clear and his skin showed a healthy wheat color. He was different from the past. Anya smiled and said, “Why are you back?”

“Come back and see you.” Opal whispered: “Aman, I have a plan for the future of all of us.”

Aman said, “Anya, bring something to eat.”

Anya went out to get food, her female companion smiled and said, “Opal, when are you going to marry Anya?”

Opal’s face was a little unnaturally red, and he smiled awkwardly and said: “I…”

Oman didn’t talk much about this topic, saying: “What’s the plan?”

Locke said, “What did you experience outside? You killed a sand bat?”

Oman was moved instantly and asked, “How did you kill the sand bat?”

Opal sat on the wooden bench with his fingers pressed together, thought for a moment, and said, “Do you remember what the teacher taught me, Locke, you saw that I picked up someone in the desert.”

Opal talked to Oman selectively about the events of these days, retaining many of his abilities, such as the power of faith and Reckett’s identity, and finally revealed his plan in full.

Both Locke and Aman seemed to have been greatly impacted.

“Is the outside world really like this?” Locke’s voice trembled.

Opal nodded and said: “What I saw in his chip, many planets are better than B11.”

Aman whispered: “I also know this, so I always wanted to send Anya out. She shouldn’t be here to suffer with us, but Opal, have you thought about it? We can only mine, and we can’t do anything else. How do I support myself on Scarlet Star? I have to come back in the end.”

“That’s because we have not received any education!” Opal whispered angrily: “Our parents are slaves, so we are also slaves! This is not allowed in the interstellar human rights law, everyone should have the opportunity to choose If this plan is successful, I believe we can obtain the citizenship of the Chiyan Galaxy and start again. Come on, let’s fight and fight together.”

“You are different.” Aman said angrily. “You are already the one who can kill sand bats empty-handed. What about us? We will be beaten to death by the foreman! Hicks just need to give him a note on the back of his head, and then take him Drag to the mine, saying that the collapse is dead, no one can help.”

Opal said: “You don’t need to confront him head-on. I do all these things. The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. I know this very well. Just do me a favor and I need evidence. Regarding The mine disaster, and the purchase details of every trade fair on this planet.”

Oman said: “I know that the businessmen who deal with us have to pay a large percentage of the share to Black Rock Mining. Last time one person said that he had missed it.”

Opal said: “You already knew, why didn’t you tell us?”

Oman shook his head, and Opal said, “Someone must rise up to resist, Oman.”

Locke said: “I’m going! What do I need to do? I don’t want to stay in this ghost place anymore.”

“Thank you, brother.” Opal patted Locke on the shoulder, and Locke said, “Aman, what are you waiting for? Join us.”

Oman was thinking, Opal squinted, actually feeling his thinking, Oman was afraid that things would be revealed, Anya would be in danger.

“What are you talking about?” Anya came over with bread and water and asked, “Brother?”

Opal took the water and said, “Thank you, Anya.”

He stared at Aman, but thought of something else in his heart: thinking induction? After opening up your own spiritual world, can you gain this ability? Reckett never mentioned it to him.

She stared at them anxiously for a while, turned and left, and whispered to her female companions: “Let’s go outside.”

The wooden door closed and Opal said, “If you are worried about Anya, I will first find a way to send her away.”

Aman said: “Can you?”

Opal hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, Aman said: “Give me a definite answer.”

Opal said: “Yes, I will do it.”

Aman said: “I know there is a video, a security video that monitors our operations every day, and it’s in Hicks’ office.”

Locke asked, “Steal it out?”

Opal said: “Great! Where are the transaction receipts for the trade fair?”

Aman said: “I don’t know, but there must be files. There is a complete security system in the data room and it is not easy to get in. Besides the receipts printed to us, other data is stored in the central control room. How do I get it? come out?”

Opal stood up and said, “Steal the chip inside, and go now.”

Locke said: “But what if they find that the chip is missing after they come back?”

Opal said: “One more copy, I have a transcriber, and you draw me a map.”

Aman said: “I led the way. I looked for Hicks last time. The CNC center is a long way away. It’s too cold. You have to prepare supplies for the cold.”

The three of them immediately began to prepare. Up to this moment, Locke was still dreaming, muttering: “Can we really leave here? What if we can’t do it, we all die?”

Opal said: “With the guarantee of my life, you can all live.”

Aman nodded and said, “Either live together or die together.”

“What are you going to do?” Anya asked nervously.

The three put on warm clothes, and Aman said, “Prepare some food. We will be back soon. Don’t ask too much, Anya.”

Opal carried the energy furnace and walked to the house of Oman’s house. The door outside was frozen. The moment he opened it with the power of faith, the snow poured in, and the gust of wind swamped them in an instant.

After the coldest day of winter, the pale sun began to slowly rise and fall on the horizon, and each rise and fall is a day. It doesn’t snow anymore on Star B11 and is getting warmer gradually. They are walking on the snowy field with the cold wind, and there is still a long way ahead.

They walked for three days and three nights and entered the boundary of another mining village. There were tens of thousands of people living here. It was the largest gathering place for miners on the B-11 star, and the mines they occupied were more abundant. A man who was bending over to bury something straightened up and said from a distance, “Who?”

His expression was numb and guarded, looking at Aman and others.

Opal said: “Passing by, the weather is good, come out and walk, what are you doing?”

Aman went over with a lamp and saw a small pit in the snow. Inside was a child who was so cold and stubborn all over.

“Buried my little son.” The man went blind and stared at them with his left eye.

“You at least dress him.” Locke said.

“Cloth is too expensive.” The man said, “It’s too cold in winter for the children to survive. My wife is about to die.”

The man introduced himself. His name was Ugo Mile. Several of Opal exchanged names. Ugo said, “Come in and cook. Did you bring medicine? I can give you some rhodolite spar, although not much. .”

Opal said: “We have no drugs.”

Ugo led them into the house. His wife was lying on the bed coughing, her face flushed, her chest rising and falling like a bellows.

Aman said: “Why don’t you take her into the cellar?”

“Heart, lung, and cough.” Opal said: “It’s easy to be infected. There shouldn’t be such a disease here. How did you get it?”

Hugo nodded and said, “We don’t need anti-inflammatory and antiseptic potions. We don’t have them. I bought her a pair of shoes at the sales meeting before winter. After wearing them, her toes were rubbed with bleeding blisters and bacterial infections. That’s it. .”

Opal uncovered the blanket on Ugo’s wife’s feet and took a look. Her feet were swollen like buckets.

Ugo looked at them with his unblind eye and said, “Then she can only die, I killed her.”

He took her by the hand, his expression was numb and indifferent, but his left eye was a little warm.

“Do you know where the warehouse is?” Opal said.

Ugo said, “You want to steal things?”

Opal said: “I’ll find it for you… Try my best, I can’t guarantee it.”

Oman said: “Opa.”

Opal waved to them to stop talking. If Ugo knew the location of the warehouse, there might be more things worth bringing out. Maybe there are energy batteries, which is very important to Rekert.

Ugo said: “I’ll take you there. There is a director on duty in the data room.”

All three were shocked, but Opal thought of a better way.

Opal said: “You follow us, you have to do something first.”

Ugo joined their team, and Oman set off again, leading them to the high hillside, where there was a five-story alloy building embedded in the rock with the door locked.

“I can only take it here.” Aman said, “Without the key, they locked all the passages when they left.”

Opal said: “There must be a road, we can climb in from the vent, look there, the fourth floor.”

Following what Opal pointed out, they saw a vent in the bare alloy wall.

“It’s too high, no.” Locke said, “I can’t do it.”

Opal looked up and said: “It can be done, try.”

Opal took the E7 out of the package, stuck it on the alloy wall, and tied the rope to its body. The magnetic track of the E7 began to rotate. The highest point stopped and followed the antenna on the roof three times. Opal tried to pull the rope straight, leaped towards the wall, and climbed up with the rope with both hands.

In the cold wind, the four people lined up and walked slowly on the icy wall. The vents were welded from the inside to the outside. Opal made the force to shake it without moving.

“It’s too cold…” Aman said behind him, “Is there a way?”

Opal said: “Wait! Hold on!”

He condensed his mental power, looking for the smallest connection port at the welding seam. There are sixteen special screws that cross-fix the ventilation window, which requires a multi-head instrument to remove it at the same time.

He distracted the power of faith and stared at the screw quietly.

One, two, they began to slowly rotate clockwise, and when the clanging continued, the screws rolled down toward the depths of the dark vent one after another.

“There is a security system inside!” Aman said loudly.

Opal immediately pried open the ventilation window with a sword, snapped into the vent, reached out and grabbed it far away. Sixteen screws flew in and fell into his palm.

“Be careful!” Opal said loudly.

The vent was a sixty-degree slope, and Opal slid out on the ground, then grabbed the edge of the exit, grabbed the crossbar of the exit, swung an arc, and hung his body in the air.

It was dark and gloomy with energy-saving green light. This was a corridor with a camera on the opposite ceiling, slowly turning towards Opal.

Opal raised his hand, put his cloak over the camera, let go and landed.

Then Oman came first, followed by Locke, and finally one-eyed Ugo. The three of them slid out of the passage, banged several times, and smashed the opal to the ground.

Opal said: “How do I go next?”

Aman said: “Go to the central data room and follow me.”

They passed the escape stairs, and Opal stood at the top of the stairs, where many iron pipes for support were piled up.

Ugo said: “I have been trying to dig in from outside to help Anna steal the medicine. The underground tunnel is less than five meters away from the building.”

“Even if you dig into the foundation wall.” Locke cried and laughed: “It is impossible to dig through the stones there. What are you thinking?”

Ugo said: “It’s better than doing nothing.”

Opal looked at the map on the wall, and thought that he might be able to leave through the tunnel dug by Ugo later.

Oman asked: “What’s wrong?”

Opal said: “The warehouse is under the ground of this building.”

Aman said: “Yes, what happened then?”

Opal shook his head and said: “It’s nothing.

He went out and took a look, then immediately retracted his head and motioned everyone to stop talking.

With the lights on on the third floor, a small man walked across the corridor to collect the water. It was warm like spring and all facilities were available. The song of Prince Ledgerson of the opera was also broadcast in the office.

“You have to think of a way to get him away.” Opal said: “Oh no good…”

Ugo had only one eye. He couldn’t see the right hand side. When he turned around, he knocked down a vertical inclined pipe. The moment it fell down the stairs, the opal was too late to save, and the quiet stairway made a “clam”.

“Dangling—”

“Yeah–”
