It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Not many people were willing to go with York, only about one-third of the people, and with all the people and supplies, they could only fit into three vehicles.

York drove Nanami's SUV back. After all, it was Max's car, so it would be better to take it back.

Su Chaoliu also took a four-wheeled vehicle this time.

She remembered something and asked York, "Have you told them that the Bloody Fang has superpower warriors?"

Although the mutant warrior was knocked unconscious by her and tied up with ropes, it would not be difficult for him to break free from the ropes as long as he woke up. After all, the ropes were not made of very strong material.

But York said: "I didn't know there were any superpowered warriors in the Bloody Fang."

Yan Tieyi explained for him: "I went to pick you up by myself. He didn't go up to the tower. Logically speaking, he really didn't know."

"Logically speaking," but Su Chaoliu didn't think he was a reasonable person. After all, he was able to develop his own informants in the Bloody Fang, so how could he not know about such a thing?

But no matter what his plans were, Su Chaoliu was not curious and it had nothing to do with her.

She just looked at the sky and suddenly said, "It's a starship."

York glanced up at the sky, but he saw nothing.

In fact, Su Chaoliu did not see the starship. The reason why she judged that there was a starship was based on the flow and changes of the clouds, which was also what she taught in course.

"It will take about 30 minutes to land," Yan Tieyi gave a figure, "and in about 15 minutes the starship will be visible to the naked eye."

York didn't seem worried: "Fifteen minutes is enough time for them to escape."

Su Chaoliu said calmly: "The premise is that there are no superpower warriors to stop us."

"No matter how strong the superpower warrior is, he is only one person," York did not take the superpower warrior seriously, "If he just escapes, he can't catch so many people by himself."

Su Chaoliu understood what he meant. Not to mention that first-level superpower warrior, even for her, it would take some effort and time to capture all the prey when they were fleeing in all directions.

York calculated that even if all the hindering abilities of that useless Nanami were taken into account, at most only a quarter of the people would be caught.

Blackstone can still afford the loss of these people.

The journey back would also take a day. At Yan Tieyi's suggestion, Su Chaoliu took the time to fall asleep and replenish his energy.

Back at Blackrock, York went to report to Max, and they returned to the original cabin.

After closing the door, Su Chaoliu glanced at Yan Tieyi's expression and asked, "What should we do next? Go back?"

In fact, Su Chaoliu couldn't tell anything from Yan Tieyi's expression. He had long learned how to disguise and cover up as an adult should. What Su Chaoliu could see on his face was that it had basically not changed, as cold as ice.

Yan Tieyi did not answer Su Chaoliu's question, but asked Su Chaoliu: "Do you want to go back?"

Should I give her the right to choose? Su Chaoliu thought about it and said what he really thought: "If possible, I still don't want to leave so early. I want to see the world I don't know."

Su Chaoliu has never denied that she is the best among her peers, but even so, she is still protected a lot, or shackled.

Unless she was assigned to a corresponding unit after graduation, she might never set foot in a place like Exile Star in her entire life, nor would she know much about it.

So, now that she had the opportunity to come out, she wanted to see more and expand her understanding of the world.

Yan Tieyi did not agree to him immediately, but he did not look like he was against it. He just pondered and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Su Chaoliu thought he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, so why did Yan Tieyi become so hesitant?
Although Yan Tieyi didn't say it, she still clearly felt his indulgence and cultivation of her, and it was a bit strange to see him showing such an expression.

"Nothing," Yan Tieyi exhaled, as if he had made up his mind, "You can stay for another day, but you have to know that Exile Star is different from any place you've been before."

Su Chaoliu nodded: "I know."

Yan Tieyi asked, "If you see someone doing something that violates moral laws, can you restrain yourself and not step forward to stop them?"

Su Chaoliu was suddenly unable to answer.

She knew that Yan Tieyi was giving her a warning and reminding her that there were some things she should not do.

After a while, she asked, "What kind of thing will happen?"

Yan Tieyi simply summed it up: "Human trafficking, murder and robbery, beatings and abuse... everything is there."

In a place without order, the evil of human nature will always be fully displayed, and it will be an evil that Su Chaoliu can hardly imagine. Yan Tieyi does not think that now is the time for Su Chaoliu to come into contact with these.

They have been staying in this small house and basically haven't gone anywhere else. The people from Black Stone have also consciously avoided this place, so they didn't see it, but that doesn't mean that such a thing didn't happen.

If Su Chaoliu really wanted to see it, he would not stop her, but he still had to explain the situation to her clearly.

Su Chaoliu didn't know whether he could pretend to ignore it.

Just when Su Chaoliu was silent, a very noisy noise came from outside.

Yan Tieyi listened carefully and concluded: "The remaining people have returned. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Look?" Su Chaoliu looked up in confusion. "What to look at?" Yan Tieyi said in a calm tone, "Look at those... women who were brought back."

Su Chaoliu was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a moment.

Come to think of it, she did not see any other women except Nanami in the Black Stone base.

But this is normal. Women's inherent weakness makes them suffer in a social environment that relies purely on physical strength. Therefore, there has always been a saying on Blue Star that "men work outside and women work inside". She thought it was the same here.

But from what Yan Tieyi said, that was not the case.

"Where is the woman in the base?" Su Chaoliu asked hoarsely.

Yan Tieyi pointed outside the house and said, "The house twenty meters away from us in the southwest is where women live. They call it the Women's Building."

Unfortunately, their house did not have windows in that direction, but this did not stop Su Chaoliu.

She went up to the second floor and, not caring whether anyone was watching her or not, she climbed out of the window and onto the roof.

Now, the view is a little wider.

Su Chaoliu saw the house that Yan Tieyi pointed to. The windows were wide open and the woman inside was sitting naked in the room. Her eyes were numb and weathered. She didn't care that she was exposed to everyone.

Maybe I've gotten used to it.

Su Chaoliu saw a girl who looked young and malnourished, but she just sat there without any concern and let people stare at her.

But the little girl had not experienced so much after all. She noticed Su Chaoliu's eyes and also looked at Su Chaoliu.

It was pure and ignorant curiosity.

Su Chaoliu hastily turned his eyes away, not daring to look her in the eye.

As the girl turned around, she could clearly see the marks on her body.

Seeing traces like that, one naturally knew what she had been through.

But that child looks younger than Zhuge Mengmeng. You have to know that Zhuge Mengmeng was born with congenital deficiencies and is developmentally delayed compared to her peers, so she looks younger than her actual age.

But what can she do and who can she save?

Su Chaoliu didn't dare to stay on the roof any longer. He turned over and fell to the ground, feeling a lump in his chest.

However, Yan Tieyi still stood in front of her and asked word by word: "Did you see it?"

Su Chaoliu covered her churning abdomen and nodded: "I see."

"So?" Yan Tieyi asked softly, "What do you think?"

What else could she feel? Those women were pathetic and pitiful. Being treated like this would definitely affect their lifespans, but she knew there was nothing that could be done about it because they had no other choice but to live like this.

But when she looked up at Yan Tieyi, she knew that this was not what Yan Tieyi wanted to hear.

"I didn't do a good job of investigating the environment," Su Chaoliu said softly, his eyes falling behind Yan Tieyi, "I was completely careless."

Behind Yan Tieyi was the path leading to the Black Stone Base. They walked along this path, and the women's house was completely blocked, so they could not see it.

But on the battlefield, such "invisibility" would be a fatal mistake.

Seeing that she was not overwhelmed by emotions, Yan Tieyi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, now you try to find the basis for how I inferred that it was the Women's Building. If you can find new evidence, that would be even better."

Su Chaoliu immediately recalled their movements over the past two days.

First of all, when they walked from the gate of the Black Rock Base to the front of this house, the women's building must not have appeared in her sight.

Otherwise she would have discovered it long ago.

Whenever a building appears in her field of vision, Su Chaoliu will quickly observe and evaluate it to determine the level of danger or how to use it if something happens.

She didn't see it, and Yan Tieyi naturally didn't see it either. This also ruled out the possibility that Yan Tieyi knew about it in advance and took advantage of the information gap to give her.

The main reason is that Yan Tieyi doesn’t have that much leisure time.

That is inferred indirectly from other information.

Su Chaoliu turned and went into the house, looking out the window and the door from inside the house.

After a while, she finally said, "Is it a projection?"

Yan Tieyi nodded slowly, and Su Chaoliu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but soon the breath came back again.

To put it bluntly, she just guessed it. She guessed that Yan Tieyi used projection to make the inference, but she didn't know how Yan Tieyi made the inference specifically. She only knew one side of the story and not the other.

Yan Tieyi didn't expect her to know. This kind of speculation was actually the result of countless experiences. It was not taught in books at all, so Yan Tieyi explained it to Su Chaoliu directly. (End of this chapter)
