Him and their stars.

Chapter 783 Friends

At 833:2 on February 25, 15 in the Common Era, the Marauder army officially entered the border of the Community's New World star area.Of course, since it is a state of marching in a hurry, naturally no time will be reserved for the subordinates to plunder.They just destroyed the interstellar gravitational wave beacons and a small number of unmanned sentry guns along the way, leaving behind those orbital mining stations and scientific research stations in the distance, and continued to rush towards the direction of New Lushun.

Because of this, the predators did not realize that all the staff on those space stations had already evacuated ahead of time.

The predators don't know that the main force of the Earth's fleet already knows they are coming, and the main force of the Earth's fleet has to pretend not to know that they have come. Don't know anything about it.

At most they knew there was going to be a war.

The gentlemen are naturally crowded in Tulong Harbor and are busy evacuating.But the problem is that most of the equipment in the port is now used to transfer a steady stream of military supplies.Passenger ships and civilian cargo ships can only be crowded in a small area.

As a result, the sea-air dual-use port, whose throughput was only average, fell into congestion.No, even Governor Jiang and his elders were blocked in the port, and it was difficult to evacuate for a while.

"Didn't you say you were going to expand the port? Why didn't you do it before?" Mr. Governor looked at the crowded airport and couldn't help being furious.

"There is indeed a plan in this regard. It's just that the government's finances are limited. We finally decided to expand the office building and the council hall first, and then add an administrative expenditure. You see, everyone's offices now have constant temperature equipment and dome gardens, Occasionally, imperial court dishes can be served in the civil servants' dining room," said Secretary-General Bernard Wood.

"Me, so why did I approve this in the first place?"

Mr. Wood couldn't help showing a knowing smile: "Because you want to give a special administrative allowance to the senior officials of the star area! But before that, you also said that it is better to be alone than to be happy, and the benefits cannot be yours. Owned by one person. In the past two years, didn't everyone support you very much?"

That's right, if the predators hadn't come calling, Mr. Jiang would definitely be the most popular governor since the establishment of the New World Star District.

"Don't worry, you only need to wait another 24 hours at most." The Secretary-General said.

Compared with the panic-stricken gentlemen who wanted to retreat, the emotions of ordinary people were actually relatively stable.Perhaps it was because the Marine Corps and Volunteer Army who arrived from the mainland, and the sand civilian troops who had been training outside the city every day, gave the citizens a sense of security.But the factories in the outskirts of the city, and the foundation of the light track that is deriving to the Kililuo Mountain in the far south, gave ordinary people hope.

As long as a person has these two points, he will not leave his hometown casually.

The hopeful people are not only the citizens of Tulong, but also the miners and farmers living in the vast wilderness.Anyway, there were no sand people to make trouble, and their life has indeed been quite peaceful in the past two years. When big companies like Zixinhui and Hongfeng came here to build large-scale construction projects, their income was already enough just to deliver meals or occasionally do odd jobs. It has risen a lot.

Tom Kelvin, who has moved his family to Shuangfeng Town, feels that the current life is very promising. At least for more than two years, he has lived very happily.

Because of the feeling of sharing weal and woe, Mr. Cowboy successfully married the single mother with her daughter, and became a father in one step.Although there is no blood relationship, he really enjoys the feeling of having a family.Now, my wife runs a dessert shop and a literacy class in the town.Although the life of a family of three is not well-off, it is also very hopeful.

...And, if there are no accidents, in the second half of the year, there will be a family of four.

Therefore, it takes more effort!Kelvin thought.

At 2:25 p.m. on February 17th, New Yumen time, Tom Kelvin, the deputy manager of Uncle Wang Agricultural Reclamation Company, finally confirmed that all the livestock had been put into pens. Manager Wang Yougui said goodbye.

"Xiao Kaizi, are you going to work the night shift at the factory today?" Wang Yougui looked sideways at him while holding a pipe.

The cowboy is now a diligent and busy man.On weekdays, he still works as a cowboy on Mr. Wang Yougui's farm during the day, and at night or during free time, he finds some odd jobs in Shuangfeng Town to do.

Not far from the town is the first high-end food processing factory and nutrition laboratory built by Zixinhui Group. There are often temporary night shift security jobs. If you work twelve or three days a month, your income can be as high as that in the factory. What about workers.

Of course, this kind of "high-paying" job is not available to everyone.If the foreman of the alliance hadn't heard that Mr. Kelvin had fought in wars and participated in the Battle of Turon that year, it would not have been so easy to recruit him.

Of course, Mr. Wang Yougui was still very dissatisfied.

"Really, you're already an executive of our company, the dignified second-in-command! The second-in-command of our Uncle Wang's reclamation company has to go to another company to work night shifts, and if word spreads, you won't be buried to death. "

What kind of agricultural reclamation company, isn't it still our pasture?Aren't the so-called senior executives and deputy managers just cowboys?Kelvin thought.

"No way, Luna will be seven years old next year. I want her to go to the elementary school in Tulong, and I have to prepare tuition fees in advance." Kelvin's "helpless" smile was full of distress, but with Seventy percent happiness, that typical father's smile.

She is not your biological daughter, you really care about her.Wang Youde wanted to say this very much, but it was too lacking in emotional intelligence to say it.The old man just snorted coldly: "Your wife doesn't care?"

"Of course she doesn't like it. She said that it's fine to go to the town primary school, but it's not a serious primary school? What can I learn?" Kelvin shrugged: "Anyway, it's right to listen to our old men."

Do you dare to say this in front of your wife?Mr. Wang snorted coldly, and just said: "It's so day and night every day, be careful of sudden death."

"Hehe, it won't happen in the future." Kelvin said.

Before the old man could react, the other party said again: "And this time I'm not going to work the night shift at the factory, but to be a guide for Mr. Trend."

"Oh, Mr. Engineer from a big local factory." The old man let out a sigh, and then he was relieved.

Mr. Trend has only been in Xinyumen for less than three months, and he has only been in Shuangfeng Town for two weeks, but he has already become a celebrity in the surrounding towns and this Shuangfeng Town.

Three days ago, there were some problems in the food processing factory built by Zixinhui Company in the outskirts of the city.Cut the assembly line with rough processed meat in addition to the condition.No matter how you fiddle with it, the machine that can dismantle thousands of cows, sheep, pigs, and land lizards in a minute just makes strange noises, but it doesn't move, but I don't know that it is the equipment. Sand or pipes were bitten by lizards.

When the technicians from the factory arrived, they suddenly found that the shell of the cutter against the wall had been torn apart, and many important parts had disappeared.

Everyone was impatient.

You must know that the townspeople of Shuangfeng Town and most of the nearby farmers all work part-time in this factory.But because he is a part-time worker, he does not sign a labor contract to receive wages, but is paid on a piece-by-piece basis.If the machine can't turn, everyone will be in vain.

"There must be thieves." Someone said, "I've heard that sandmen thieves often disassemble important parts and sell them as scrap iron at small hardware stores in town."

"We didn't see any thieves yesterday!" The security director hurriedly said that it was not his responsibility.

"Actually, it was eaten." Kelvin said cautiously.

"What?"

"That's right, your parts are eaten, invisible ghosts, click, click, and then disappear..."

Everyone thinks that Mr. Kelvin really has a sense of humor. He must be telling jokes here to comfort everyone, and everyone has no responsibility.Such a colleague must be able to deal with it.

At this time, Mr. Trend, who happened to be passing by, appeared like a descendant.He readjusted and assembled some spare parts, and restarted the machine that had been "clicked" in half.Then he introduced to everyone that he is a member of the Engineers Guild Hall and a representative of the Red Maple Factory. This time he came to discuss with the farmers about the supply contract for the new steel factory.

He is also the "savior" who descended from the sky, and he is also a big benefactor. It's no wonder that he is not popular.

Mr. Wang Youde is also one of the farmers who signed the working meal contract.With this deal alone, he can double the livestock and farmland, and he naturally has a good impression of Mr. Trende.

"The supply contract has been signed, right? He's still here? Wouldn't he also want to build a factory near us?" The old man laughed.

Kelvin put his cowboy hat on his chest and said cautiously: "...is that the haunted incident last time? He wanted to investigate, so he hired me as a guide."

Mr. Wang was silent for a few seconds, and then squeezed out an awkward but polite smile: "...no, no matter what, Mr. Trend is still very generous, just take it as a rest and make money, not bad okay?"

"Yes, that's how it is."

So, Kelvin, who bid farewell to the boss, drove the car back to the town in such a sullen manner.

It's not haunted!I really saw it with my own eyes, the invisible ghost gnawed the food factory machine!It didn't disappear, it was gnawed off, there is no "click, click" at all!Although Kelvin thought so in his heart, he had explained it many times, but still no one believed it.

At this time, perhaps only family members can soothe your body and mind.So, Kelvin went home and had dinner with his wife and daughter. At [-]:[-] in the evening, he arrived at the tavern in the town that he had made an appointment with in advance.

This is a tavern for mass consumption, and the main customers are nearby farmers and workers.By this time it was already full of guests.For these ordinary workers, drinking some cheap bad wine and unhealthy fried food in this tavern, and bragging with their co-workers, is already the happiest life.

At this time, the only big-screen TV in the tavern was broadcasting the news of Turon.

Mr. Jiang, the governor on the screen, once again told everyone that the community army will protect everyone on the background of the port with long queues. Please don't believe the rumors.

The drinkers started to shout about bad luck noisily, and asked the boss to cut it off quickly.

Therefore, the boss changed into the most popular video, which was the classic scene at the Imperial God of War Festival last year.

This is the New World, and there are no live broadcasts of any major local sports events, which instead gives everyone the opportunity to choose freely.However, precisely because of this free choice, a certain student who was the champion of God's Choice has become the most beautiful boy in the eyes of ordinary people in Xinyumen.

"This is from our new Yumen." They praised the passing merchants, as if they were showing off their own soldiers.

When Kelvin found Mr. Trend, the screen was showing the picture of Yu Lian riding the Mist Dragon towards the imperial knights.The young Mr. Engineer is squeezing through the crowd, cheering with everyone.This elegant and knowledgeable intellectual was completely integrated with the rude workers and peasants around him, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.

After such a wonderful scene came to an end and everyone calmed down a bit, Trende took Kelvin back to the deck he had wrapped up.

Kelvin was surprised to find that there were already two people in the seat.

These two are Gaiboans of the alliance, a man and a woman, young people in their twenties, although they are both in plain travel attire, but neither appearance nor temperament fit in with this environment.It's like a flamingo getting into a chicken coop, even if it is hung with chicken feathers, it still can't hide the aura of showing off its might.

Kelvin was subconsciously ashamed of himself, but when he remembered that he had talked and laughed happily with the invincible God's Choice champion on the screen, he immediately held his head high again, smiling and nodding to the two distinguished guests from the alliance without being humble.

Only then did he realize that this young man seemed to be his acquaintance!Strictly speaking, everyone is even a comrade-in-arms.

Obviously, the youths of the league also recognized themselves and smiled brightly.

Before the two of them could say hello, the beauty from the alliance had already spoken first: "Mr. Trend, you are also chasing stars!"

"Whether I chase it or not, the brightest star in the night sky is there." The young engineer smiled frankly.

"This is no longer star chasing, it's only one step away from religion..." The lady from the alliance couldn't help but be speechless.

"Young people at my age follow stars and become cults. Isn't this very common? Especially in the league." Trende laughed.His appearance is elegant and delicate, with a medium height and thin body, he looks like a fresh graduate.

But for some reason, Kelvin always felt that the other party was mocking the alliance.

...Sure enough, my wife forced me to read a few books, so my mind became more and more confused.

The cowboy felt that this conversation was too unfriendly to him, and when he was thinking about whether to run outside the tavern to catch his breath, Trende had already changed the subject: "Mr. Kelvin, let me introduce you first. This is The investigative reporter from the Alliance, Miss Tyna Moon, this is..."

Kelvin hurriedly said: "We have met before. Long time no see, Mr. Ash."

"Mr. Kelvin, ahahaha, I can see that you must have lived a very happy life in the past two years." Ashius smiled very brightly.Although it seemed a bit deliberate, it really made the environment of the scene soothed a lot.

"These two are here for the same purpose as mine. Both are to investigate the incident you mentioned." Trende said.

"Yes, it is the truth about the legendary invisible ghost that devours the machine." Miss Taina Moon reached out her hand and shook Kelvin: "So you are the person involved! Please give me your advice!"

Kelvin just felt ashamed.

He lived to be in his thirties, but he never imagined that the club would die until the alliance.
