Chap 85
Death List

After living at Planet 29 for a week, Cheng Jin finally adapted to the cold climate here.

The house they were allocated was a two-story wooden building with complete furnishings. The first floor was a living room, dining room and reception room, with a bedroom and utility room. The second floor has three bedrooms, which had enough space for a family of three. And the house also comes with a small yard, in the yard there also has a small hot spring pool.

When he first soaked in the hot spring pool, Cheng Jin felt so comfortable that his whole body melted. This feeling of taking a hot bath in this cold climate is so wonderful, if conditions permit, he even wants to drink a small glass of wine.

But after leaving the hot spring pool, He feel uncomfortably cold. Even if there is heating in the house, the temperature of the heating is not hot. The temperature in the house is generally maintained at about ten degrees. It will still make him cold when he sleeps alone at night.

Without the supply of normal food, he can only drink a bowl of nutritious decoction every day. Although the food is enough for the body’s normal needs for a day, the taste is too weak, so Cheng Jin finds it difficult to swallow. Without the light screen, all entertainment activities seemed to have been stopped, and there was no raw material for him to make clothes, so for the first week, he was so idle that he felt like he didn’t know what to do.

But in fact, there are tasks that need to be done at home. Without small household robots, ordinary household tasks need to be done by themselves, such as cleaning, washing clothes, tidying up the room, etc., but Cheng Jin has never done this before and when he started to do it. It seems difficult.

But if he doesn’t do it, it will be more difficult for others to do it.

For example, Cheng Xu can’t touch the stove, for the reason that when he tried to boil the water, he almost caused a fire.

The supply of gas pipes here is insufficient. In order to keep warm, they usually collect firewood or buy charcoal fire. Cheng Xu can’t do too meticulous work, so he collects firewood with his neighbors, and then moves them back and piles them in the backyard for heating or boiling water.

Compared with Cheng Jin and Cheng Xu, Cheng Zheng is the one who adapts quickly. He met several neighbors on the second day, and then joined their movie club together. He usually didn’t come back until dark.

Seven days later, the brothers went to the market for the first time.

People on the geothermal planet live very scattered, but it’s not like the empire planet. Every household is scattered. They are divided into several towns. The distance between towns is relatively long, so the market only opens once every five days. They didn’t have time to come to the market last time, so they came early this time.

“I need to buy some raw materials for blankets and sweaters, as well as a lot of small things. I also want a light screen. I don’t have a computer that can connect to the Internet.” Cheng Jin counted his fingers, and was a little worried. “I hope to buy it. After that, I can receive an order, otherwise, I can only come to the market to set up a stall to sell, but in this case, the price can’t be too high.” He inquired about the prices here, and they were really pitifully low. A finished product may only be sold for one twentieth of the previous price, and it is still in a very ideal situation.

Cheng Xu rubbed his head, “Don’t worry about that much, we have more than two months left, and the money won’t run out so quickly.”

“But it’s not too much, right?” Cheng Jin was a little disappointed. “It’s because I didn’t have a plan. If I remember to change some banknotes at that time, it would be fine.” He thought of the balance in his light screen, almost all of them. The money he earned is somewhat distressed.

Cheng Xu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, I will have a job soon.”

Cheng Jin was a little surprised, “What kind of job? Brother, when did you look for a job?” Didn’t he go all out to collect firewood for the past few days?

“I’ll tell you when it’s done, let’s go to the market.”

The market is closed, and there is floor heating inside. Although it also maintains a temperature of about ten degrees, it is much warmer than the outside temperature of minus 20 or 30 degrees. It was the second time for Cheng Jin to visit the market. It was a different scene from Rizhao Planet. He was a little surprised at the dazzling array of products. He caught a glimpse of a shop selling wool and rushed over.

After spending a small amount of money for buying a lot of raw materials, Cheng Jin finally rejoiced, and took his brother to buy other things, and then went to a store that could sell electronic products.

This store is decorated to be much more luxurious than other stores, but when they asked if there are light screens for sale, the boss still shook his head and said, “How can that high-end product be sold on our small planet? Honestly Apart from watching that stuff on TV and newspapers, I have only seen it in the hands of the manager of the Sunny Hotel.”

“Sunny Hotel?” Cheng Jin was a little surprised, then looked at his brother, “Is that the chain hotel opened by Yan Qi? He said that he opened the store to different planets. I began to think he was bragging. I didn’t expect that there are also here.”

Cheng Xu’s face turned pale, but he quickly covered up the past. He asked the boss: “Are there other styles of computers?”

The boss smiled and said: “Yes, of course! Like this one, this is selling pretty well now, LCD screen, powerful dual-core processor, the response speed of opening a webpage is 0.01 seconds, of course, the premise is that the Internet speed is good, and very light, plus the chassis, the total is only five kilograms.”

“five kilograms?” Cheng Jin was stunned and couldn’t help but whispered: “That’s already expensive…”

The boss smiled and said: “There is definitely no way to compare with high-end products, but this is the best computer we can find on the planet, and the price is not expensive…”

The physical computer has almost been eliminated on the Imperial Planet, but it is sold as a high-end product here. Cheng Jin was surprised at the same time, but he was not so surprised. After all, he had been to the relatively backward planet of Sunshine, and he already knew that this world is rich and poor.

When the elder brother was bargaining with the boss, he also became interested in other things in the store. After all, these were things he hadn’t touched before. For example, like radios and record players, in fact, the most advanced light screens have integrated their functions, and the existence of these things seems ancient.

Cheng Jin looked at the same thing. When he heard the name “Admiral Lu Tao” in his ears, he hadn’t reacted yet. When he did, he trembled and looked at the sound source immediately.

The TV screen in the corner was lighting up, and news was being broadcast on it, and the title “Admiral Lu Tao” came from there.

Cheng Jin immediately walked over, stood firmly in front of the TV screen, and saw Lu Tao’s figure at a glance. However, before he could see clearly, the picture was cut elsewhere, making Cheng Jin feel a little bit sad. After working hard to calm himself down, Cheng Jin understood that the news broadcast was about the Indira incident.

The fact that the two generations of the Minister of General Affairs of the East secretly conducted human experiments shocked the world, and this incident had a record of exposure before, but it was suppressed, and it was not completely hidden until the military’s intervention. After Indira lost power, he jumped over the wall and ordered his subordinates to take hostages to threaten the president. They wanted to sign an agreement to make the experimental planet an independent planet. Fortunately, General Lu Tao’s army arrived in time and captured Indira. The hostages and experimental subjects were rescued.

The big case that lasted for 110 years shocked the whole world, and when seeing people who became “monsters” because of experiments, many planets broke out parades, demanding that the death penalty be restored, and Indira and all his accomplices go to real hell.

The news cut many scenes of parades from various places, and finally returned to the anchor’s footage. The beautiful female anchor said with a bit of sorrow: “In this rescue operation, we lost the lives of one hundred and thirty soldiers. Two hostages also died unfortunately, and nine hostages bodies have not been found. Experts speculate that they may have been thrown into the folding space and will never be found again.” At the end of the news, the pictures of the dead soldiers were scrolled on the screen. The age of the name, and the age of the hostage’s name.

Cheng Jin was stunned again when he saw his father and elder brother and his own name on it. He seemed to realize that they were rescued in such an alternative way and it was indeed easy to misunderstand.

So does Lu Tao now think he is dead?

Cheng Jin’s mind was blank. He stood in front of the TV for a few more minutes. The news was over. It started to play a series filmed on unknown planet before he walked back blankly.

Cheng Xu had already negotiated the price with the boss, and bought what he called the “highest-end” computer. While waiting for the boss to make a big package, he noticed something wrong with the younger brother who came by, and quickly asked: “What’s wrong Bao? Is there something uncomfortable?”

“No.” Cheng Jin’s voice went vacant, after thinking about it, he couldn’t help but tell the news he had just seen. He thought his brother would be surprised, but found that he had a calm face, as if he had known it a long time ago. Cheng Jin couldn’t help but said, “Brother, you already know?”

“I saw it in the newspaper before.” Cheng Xu didn’t hide it.

“Then we are on the death list,this is wrong… Brother, do you want to clarify?”

Cheng Xu said: “Why clarify?”

Cheng Jin was stunned, a little at a loss, “Just to clarify, after all, we are still alive…”

“Who cares? We left the imperial planet. We cut off everything in the past. What’s the point of clarifying the misinformation?” Cheng Xu stared at him, his tone was not sharp, but he pressed heavily on Cheng. Be careful and make him feel uncomfortable, “Or do you think Lu Tao will be sad?”

“I…I don’t know…” At first, Cheng Jin wanted to clarify. He was indeed worried that Lu Tao would be sad, but when he was asked by his brother, he realized something.

Lu Tao won’t feel sad of his death.

After all, the other party wished to divorce, and now they are divorced, whether he is alive or dead, it makes no difference to Lu Tao, right?

Seeing his lost look, Cheng Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, warmly said: “So there is no need, let them think we are dead, let us live our lives well.” He has tried hard not to think about Yan Qi these days. What madness would go after seeing that death list, even now, he didn’t think about it.

He has gotten rid of the other party, no longer need to be restrained by the other party.

And to satisfy his father, there is nothing better than this.
