My cubs are all vinegar

Chapter 47

Nijiu was stunned.

What Jack said was exactly the same as Samuel's hint, pointing all the clues to the king and the royal family.

Nijiu frowned involuntarily: "What does the inside story mean?"

Jack shook his head: "I can't tell you too much, I don't want to get into trouble yet."

Jack tapped the greasy desktop: "You know, the Empire and the Zerg are currently in a state of truce. We built the 'Wall of Empire' to keep the Zerg out and cut off the trade route with them. And those who trade with the Zerg, All were considered collaborators."

Jack said, lighting a cheap cigarette.

He exhaled a big puff of smoke, and the strong smell of tar made Nijito and Ryan cough desperately.Linsen stretched out his hand calmly, waved away the smoke, and used his spiritual power to keep it out.

Nijiu endured the smoked tears and said: "I have seen vendors selling Zerg stimulants in the black market of Emperor Star, which are prohibited drugs. The empire has banned trade, why do their things still appear in the empire?" star?"

Jack didn't tell Nijito directly, but induced him to ask questions.

"Yes, so why did I appear here? This planet is obviously the territory of the Zerg."

Nijiu understood his hint: "Is there a loophole in the 'Wall of the Empire'?"

"The 'Wall of the Empire' was intact, and it was the customs supervisor who closed it on his own initiative at a certain point in time."

Jack continued to mutter: "The Witch Race was exiled to the 'ghost glacier', and those of us who were implicated were sent to the cold places at the poles of the edge planet. Seven years ago, I sneaked into a Zerg business ship, smuggled to this planet. And the 'Wall of Empire' has been standing for more than ten years."

The more Nijiu listened, the more puzzled she became: "What about the Zerg commercial ship?"

"What they prohibit is only non-governmental business exchanges. In order not to offend the Zerg, the king allowed the Zerg to come to the empire to dump goods at high prices, and bought our energy and commodities at a low price of one-tenth."

"And yet they—"

Jack pointed to the outside of the tavern and sneered: "They don't see the value of these commodities at all. It is said that some Zerg even treat the antiques brought over after all the hard work as ordinary commodities, and use bronze vessels to hold water."

Jack looked out through the dirty window.

His face was not much cleaner than the window, his cheeks were so thin that his cheekbones protruded, but his sunken eyes seemed to be shining.

"The Witch Clan was exiled to the 'ghost glacier' where the average temperature was more than 100 degrees below zero, and they all froze to death. And I also had to stay here to survive. Unless the royal family fell, I would never even think about returning to Emperor Star."

Jack picked up the bottle of beer and drank the cold beer back to normal temperature in one gulp.

When Nijiu listened to Jack's words, his thoughts suddenly drifted to more than ten years ago, when he was a child.

Since she was a child, Nijiu seldom saw her mother.

The king arranged five or six tutors for him, forcing him to learn all kinds of knowledge, and he hardly had time to step out of the study.

In order to strengthen his body, Neijiu also had to practice judo and boxing every day.Under the king's order, the coach asked Nijiu to do an hour-long running training in the morning at the level of adult exercise.

Since her birth, Neito has almost never left the palace.

Apart from the study, bedroom and dining room, the only place he can go is the back garden of the palace.

Therefore, borrowing gardening tools to take care of all kinds of rare plants has become the only fun for Nijiu.

There is a large patch of Ambergris rose in the garden. This plant grows for ten years, but when it is in full bloom, it emits a very strong amber fragrance, soaking the entire palace in a mild and warm fragrance.

The king thought the white ambergris roses were not solemn enough, so he planned to eradicate them all and replace them with dark red roses.

However, Nijiu, who has always been strict with the king's orders, strongly opposed the king's removal of the ambergris rose in the back garden.The king was also not good at getting angry with the child. Although he was very displeased, he had no choice but to let him go.

On a certain early winter evening, Nijiu went to the garden to water Ambergris Rose after finishing her fighting training.

As soon as he walked into the rose bushes, he heard the low roar of the beast.

The voice of the beast was extremely hoarse, and Nijiu guessed that it should not be small, at least bigger than the pet dogs domesticated by the nobles.

The king did not allow Nijiu to get close to large spirit beasts, or any animal that could cause him serious injury.

However, this aroused Nijiu's curiosity even more. He had always wanted to see the giant spirit beast in the documentary and the guard dog that stood taller than a human.

Out of curiosity, Nijiu did not return, but followed the direction of the sound and walked into the rose garden without a sound.

Nijiu lightened his steps.

Following the low roar of the beast, he quietly walked around behind the rosebush.

Through the layers of rose bushes, thick thorny leaves, and a large piece of dead grass, Nijito saw a wounded beast.

That beast has silvery white fur, extremely shiny and soft, as beautiful as a creature in a dream.Its front paws were scarlet red, and the hair was soaked in blood, obviously seriously injured.

The beast raised its head and looked at Nijiu.

It has a pair of rich golden eyes, which emit a warm orange-yellow light under the moonlight.

The beast lay prone in the garden, it roared in pain, and resisted Nijiu's approach.It tried to stand up and retreated into the shadow of the rosebush.

However, its injured front leg still couldn't support its own weight, and it fell to the grass with a dull and loud noise.

"boom--"

Jack finished his cold beer and threw the empty beer bottle on the table.He burped loudly and sighed gruffly: "The beer here is delicious."

Nezuwa was awakened by the sound of a beer bottle hitting the table.

Seeing that Jack was wearing a hat, he quickly stopped him: "Wait, I want to ask you one more thing - have you seen the Zerg army in the few years you have been here?"

Jack nodded.

"Yes, I have seen them before. They were still stationed on this planet before, and they couldn't be driven away. But since the demon king came over a few years ago, the Zerg army here has left one after another, and went to the Magellan Cloud. the distant M110 elliptical galaxy."

Nijito paid the money, took out a few large-denomination banknotes from the wallet, and handed them to Jack.

Nijito said to Jack: "Thank you for your help, the money is a reward."

Jack raised his eyebrows, showing disapproval.

"Don't give it away, I live on this broken planet, and I don't spend much money. I just drink and hang out every day, and occasionally help others. Living like a homeless person is pretty good."

Jack said, returning those paper money to Nijiu.

He straightened his cuffs and collar, and walked towards the door of the tavern.

Jack pushed open the wooden door, his voice passed through the noisy noise in the tavern, and reached the ears of Nijiu and his party: "Be careful yourself, the group of bugs outside can eat people."

Their later experience proved that Jack's advice was not groundless, nor was it intentional intimidation.

The three of them left the tavern and walked on the sticky road to the main road.Before they had time to discuss where to go next, they encountered two gangs of Zerg thugs fighting in the street.

Since the withdrawal of the military a few years ago, the planet has become completely autonomous to the Zerg population.

Since there is no police force, no soldiers, and no laws, the social rules here have completely collapsed, like a primeval forest where the weak prey on the strong, and it is a place even more chaotic than the Emperor Star black market.

Zerg don't use weapons like ray guns, they can only attack each other with the most basic acid, spikes and jaws.

Nijiu looked at the yellow-green acid liquid splashed in the air, the stinging insects flying around, and the huge bugs rolling on the ground trying to pinch each other's body with their pincers, but he didn't realize that they were fighting each other.

Ryan stared at them for a long time and asked, "Are they fighting?"

Before Nijito could answer, he was knocked away by a huge cockroach.

The cockroach's densely packed feet stuck to Nijiu's back, his scalp was numb, and he almost jumped up.

When Nejito realized that he was separated from the others, the thick swarm had separated them.

"Ryan, Linsen?"

Nijiu shouted in a moderate voice, but did not hear any response.

The height of the Zerg is generally higher than that of humans, and Nijiu is squeezed among a pile of Zerg that emits a foul smell, and it is difficult to breathe.

The tangle of bristles on the Zerg's belly and back pricked Nidove's neck, and they paid no attention to Nidove, making a chilling buzz as they squeezed past him.

Nejito raised her voice.

"Linsen, Ryan! Can you hear me?"

His voice, however, was drowned out by the hum of the Zerg's wings and failed to get through.

The oxygen content of this planet is far lower than that of Emperor Star, which is suitable for human survival.

Nijiu was a little hypoxic, so he could only speed up his breathing and took a deep breath.Just as he was taking a deep breath, Nijiu smelled a sweet and bitter smell, which made his throat sweet and sore.

Nijito felt dizzy before distinguishing the ingredients of the smell.

Layers of double images appeared in the world before his eyes.

That smell is nothing but ordinary anesthetics.

The Zerg thugs released anesthetics one after another in order to make each other faint.However, both of them were wearing gas masks, and the narcotics did not work on either side, only harming innocent people passing by.

The dose of these anesthetics is enough to make the powerful Zerg faint and fall into a deep sleep.

For Nijiu, this powerful anesthetic is even more lethal. The moment he smelled the smell, his consciousness became tranced.

Nijiu covered her mouth and nose while she was still awake.

He half closed his eyes, and in his blurred vision, Nijiu saw a Zerg approaching him.He tried to take a step away from the Zerg, but almost fell to the ground.

Nijiu felt that his legs were so heavy that he couldn't even move his legs.

Not only that, but the anesthesia limited his abilities.

Nijiu couldn't use spiritual power to erect a barrier to protect herself from being hit and trampled by the Zerg.

"Oops."

As the word flashed through Nijiu's mind, the giant Zerg squeezed towards Nijiu, hitting him hard on the shoulder, nearly knocking him to the ground.

the other side.

Linsen walked out of the tavern before Nijiu and Nijiu, and also found that the Zerg were fighting.

Just as he was about to turn around to warn Nijiu and Ryan, he found that the two had been swept away by the swarm and were now gone.

The large group of Zergs blocked Lin Sen's sight. Although he was not knocked away by the Zergs, he still couldn't find Nijiu's figure through the dense tentacles and whiskers.

Lin Sen smelled the sweetness of the anesthetic, but he was not affected by the anesthetic at all.

Linsen stood motionless among the worms, looking around, trying to find Nijiu out of the pile of worms.

Lin Sen looked very eye-catching, and several keen Zerg had already noticed that his smell was different.

Those Zergs were wearing huge gas masks. Through the solid lenses on the masks, they stared at Lin Sen with huge compound eyes, and their faces covered by the shells could not show any expression.

In order to prevent them from revealing the secrets, Linsen lit a flame inside the carapaces of the Zerg.The flames roasted their muscles, and the Zerg lost all strength in an instant, and fell stiffly to the ground.

Despite the rudimentary camouflage, humans are distinct from the Zerg, who can recognize humans instantly.

They can recognize Linsen, and Nijiu is of course not a problem.

At this time, Lin Sen suddenly remembered Jack's words: "Zergs can eat people."

He felt his heart being clenched.
