Chapter 400 The Little Rascal in the Interstellar Junkyard 1
“Bang—bang!”
"Youmi, Youmi, wake up! It's dangerous now! Get out of here quickly! Youmi!"
"Cough... It's so noisy."
The sound of fireworks exploding made Xia Youmi momentarily think that watching fireworks by the lake was an incredibly relaxing experience.
But, year after year!
Hearing it clearly, Xia Youmi subconsciously tensed up as she mentally simulated the sound of the air raid siren year after year.
She struggled to open her eyes, her limbs writhing in pain.
But there was no time to adjust. Xia Youmi, by sheer willpower, crawled away from the pile of rubble little by little, following the direction indicated by Nian Nian.
Despite being very careful, the injuries to my hands and feet were still inevitably aggravated.
I didn't have time to read the original text, but I believe Xin Nian Nian is right.
Every year, she not only gave directions but also kept a close eye on the surroundings and directed her to pick up some bottles along the way. At the same time, she constantly engaged in positive communication with her to divert her attention.
I climbed all the way down to the other side of the garbage dump, where there was an upside-down, dilapidated object shaped like an iron barrel. The bottom of it was big enough for a child to crawl inside.
During the climb, Xia Youmi also erased and confused the traces.
These actions had exhausted her energy, and after climbing inside, she was almost in shock.
"You have rice. Drink the yellow bottle before you go to sleep." Nian Nian's tone was very gentle.
Xia Youmi's hands trembled as she couldn't unscrew the glass cap. She gritted her teeth and slammed the bottle neck to the ground.
Turn the bottle upside down as soon as possible. Although some spilled, most of it remained, which was enough to be effective.
but,
A wave of dizziness made her stare blankly at the half-tube of murky yellow liquid. It seemed that there were white, flocculent things floating inside. She restrained herself from thinking about the contents.
Try to avoid shaking it further, and put the solution into your mouth along the crack.
"Cough! Ugh—" A violent wave of nausea surged up, and Xia Youmi fought against her physiological reaction.
Once my stomach calmed down, I carefully placed the empty bottle a little further away, closed my eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
outside,
Xia Youmi's act of hiding had a significant impact; the female lead, Di Ning, was almost caught and taken back to the lab, sustaining injuries and missing the first opportunity to be picked up. Her current disheveled state was not much better than Xia Youmi's.
But it's what she deserves.
The two had a tragic love affair, and since Xia Youmi didn't die, they were destined to be enemies.
Few stars twinkled in the night sky, and the area where she was hiding was pitch black. In contrast, another distinct urban area was brightly lit, with cheap neon lights flickering.
With the annual fireworks display, the air is filled with the lingering scents of smoke and alcohol.
Xia Youmi's sleep was restless.
In addition to maintaining absolute silence, one must also tolerate the piercing noise from afar.
Her physical condition was very poor; she was almost on the verge of death, yet she still managed to crawl and drink an expired, adult-sized, cheap, and unregulated potent nutritional supplement.
Although it had some effect and my strength was restored somewhat, my stomach was churning and I felt nauseous from time to time.
But they dared not utter a sound.
Basic external trauma-induced numbness can be endured for now.
But the burning pain from within made her dizzy and disoriented, leaving her with no energy to accept the plot of this world.
Nian Nian has finished organizing the original text and carefully selected Xia Youmi's part. But even a skilled cook has her limitations; she has no social status, no relatives, and no good physique.
This place is nothing but garbage dumps and dangerous creatures.
Every year, it runs the data until it gets hot, trying to help her relieve her pain as soon as possible. However, it also remembers the instructions it gave itself: it must cool down to the point of being invisible, so as not to put mental pressure on Xia Youmi.
With the constant encouragement of her young and gentle father, Xia Youmi opened her eyes on the afternoon of the second day.
"Youmi, now, drink that red liquid, swallow it slowly in several sips." Niannian only allowed Xia Youmi to drink the healing potion after seeing that she was conscious and able to control her muscle contractions.
The inside of the bottle is dark red, and a string of numbers is affixed to the outside.
The meaning of the numbers is that it was only after learning and decoding each reagent in the original text that it was able to recognize them.
In reality, the descriptions in the article are too advanced; what we're currently scavenging from the junkyards of a dilapidated planet is more than a decade behind.
The female protagonist was indeed born into a lower social class in the original story.
But soon, she left Chaotic Star through Xia Youmi's death and a special opportunity.
Embark on a thrilling journey to uncover the truth, leveling up and battling through challenges, and encountering powerful figures from across the galaxy.
They uprooted the organization that initially captured them and then wrote a new myth.
Love and career both flourish, living a carefree and unrestrained life.
The cold, lifeless corpse of her peer was mauled before her eyes, leaving her with no trauma, only the satisfaction of revenge. This indirectly fostered the heroine's decisive and ruthless nature, and at the same time, taught her that she must finish off her enemies.
The significance of Xia Youmi's existence in this story lies in her ability to help the female protagonist avoid several dangers later in life.
There's nothing to be angry about; they are interdependent.
at first,
In their neighborhood, rumors circulated about a person with a special constitution. This was extremely dangerous in the slums, as Chaos Star was mostly a hub for underground organizations and black market transactions.
Humans are essentially disposable. Especially with today's technological advancements, it's possible to maintain one's own health by taking organs and blood from others. Perhaps as retribution, the therapeutic effects of these methods on ordinary people's genes are gradually losing their effectiveness.
It's even less effective than the buyer's own constitution. Applying such a product to the body can disrupt the body's original operating logic.
Therefore, planets shrouded in darkness, lacking resources and development, often become breeding grounds for special humans to be scourged and kept as pets.
On such peripheral planets of empires, laws are rarely enforced.
After all, slum dwellers cannot afford to go to court.
Whenever a newborn is found to have a tagged gene, it is taken away from birth.
Furthermore, some homeless children, even those without special genes, are taken in. Makeshift laboratories are everywhere, where they are repeatedly fed medication and raised.
There are successful precedents, though.
Another possibility is that this particular "gene species" was not previously listed in the markers, so the experimental subject was not detected and stolen at birth. However, as the experiment progressed, a new "gene species" was revealed.
Moreover, it happens to match a certain type of child.
Therefore, these children must be hidden well, as freshly hatched varieties generally fetch a high price.
The female lead, Di Ning, is a special case.
She and Xia Youmi were neighbors, and their children were born around the same time. When they were born, they were both considered ordinary children, and their basic test results were both on the low side.
The parents breathed a sigh of relief; the examination at the poor hospital only revealed that their children were in poor health.
She grew up peacefully until she was six years old.
News suddenly spread throughout the neighborhood that the new "genetic species" was exhibiting a certain low value, and everyone should pay attention.
Neither family wanted to be arrested, so they each guided the other to do something special.
However, people believed what the Di family said.
Xia Youmi became the target, and on the day she was taken away, the Xia family couple fought back desperately.
This resulted in the female protagonist's parents also being killed, and both children being taken away for examination.
The results indicate that Xia Youmi not only does not belong to that noble genetic species, but also has a genetic disease.
So, after a series of haphazard injection experiments, she was thrown into a garbage dump.
And the female lead,
They then took the opportunity to escape.
