Chapter 456: Take Them Away

A fuel locomotive that had long been eliminated in the Earth Federation for hundreds of years that Chu Nan had only seen in museums since he was young ran on the barren surface of Planet Leppler.

“Hey, Durica, I…” A violent bump interrupted Chu Nan and made him wait for a moment before continuing the question, “…Can we really reach today?”

It had already been more than four hours since they set off from Nightclub City. However, the speed of this ground-level fuel passenger locomotive that was hundreds of years behind the times was only about 70 kilometers per hour. They had only traveled 300 kilometers.

Looking ahead, it was still barren. There was no sign of anyone.

As for the village where her family lived that Durica mentioned, there was not even a shadow.

“Of course.” Durica nodded with certainty, “We should be able to reach it in the afternoon. I’ve run down this road a few times. I can’t be wrong.”

As if afraid that Chu Nan and Angie Prairie would not believe her, Durica even took out a very simple map and unfolded it in front of them.

“Look, this is Nightclub City. We are probably… here!”

Looking at Durica’s finger pointing at a completely unmarked place on the map, Chu Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It would be strange if they could find the village she spoke of like this.

However, since it had already become like this, Chu Nan could not be bothered to say anything.

In any case, he was accompanying Angie Prairie. If she had no objections, he naturally did not.

As for whether this girl had any objections…

“Durica, you said that you’ve run down this road a few times?” Angie Prairie ignored this question. She paid attention to another point. “Are you always alone?”

“That’s right.” Durica nodded. “Of course I’m alone. Mom and Dad are no longer around. My brothers and sisters are also very busy and don’t have time to accompany me back.”

Seeing Durica’s matter-of-fact expression, Chu Nan’s heart could not help but ache.

On the way here, he had secretly asked Angie Prairie and knew that Durica’s family had actually all died in the accident on Planet Leviathan. Now, she lived with people from the previous village.

The siblings she spoke of were only those children who were slightly older than her in the same village. Now, they were all like her, barely surviving by doing some miscellaneous work in Nightclub City.

In fact, when Angie Prairie hoped that Durica would bring them to the places where the villagers gathered today, she was still a little hesitant.

This was because she would not be able to complete her work today and her work tomorrow would also be affected. Perhaps she would be hungry this month and might even be fired.

However, Angie Prairie expressed that she would buy all the flowers in her hand. After saying a few names she knew, she happily agreed.

Seeing that Durica, who was clearly not even ten years old, had to worry about her livelihood, Chu Nan felt extremely uncomfortable.

If it was in the Earth Federation, although there were also children who had become orphans because of accidents, with the perfect welfare system of the federation government and the highly developed modern social support, these children could still enjoy the most basic life security and education and still grow up healthily.

In a chaotic place like the Sapphire Star Field, Durica had to endure huge pressure to live at such a young age. It was really worrying for her.

Compared to Chu Nan, Angie Prairie appeared very calm.

She had followed Supremacy Oville around the various star systems since she was young and had seen all kinds of strange things. She had long seen many encounters like Durica and would not feel too sympathetic like Chu Nan.

However, the moment she saw Durica, she had already made up her mind.

She did not have the ability to interfere in too many things, but she had to help Durica and those people from the same village.

One of the important reasons why she came to the Sapphire Star Field this time was to make up for the trauma in her mind.

If she could do something for Durica and the others, it should be able to alleviate some of the guilt.

Durica did not know what Chu Nan and Angie Prairie were thinking. After explaining to her, she happily took the snacks from her and carefully ate them quickly.

If Angie Prairie had not bought such a delicious snack for her, she might never have had the chance to eat it.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and raised his wrist to point at his personal terminal before gesturing to Angie Prairie.

She nodded in understanding and opened her personal terminal.

“From the looks of it, I’m afraid we can’t return to Nightclub City tonight.” Chu Nan sent this first.

Although after leaving Nightclub City, his personal terminal had indeed lost most of its function because he could not connect to the Milky Way Network like Dong Fang and the academy’s information had warned, there was still no problem with close communication like this.

“So be it. Are you in a hurry?” Angie Prairie asked.

Chu Nan thought to himself that there was really something going on. For example, he had already made an appointment with Father Haskman to see him again tonight and arrange an even stronger opponent for him. Another example was that he had even said some ruthless words in front of Boss Taman and said that he would wait for their gang leader to find trouble with him in the Toyer Tavern tonight.

Now that he could not return, these agreements would naturally be in vain.

However, after glancing at Angie Prairie, Chu Nan smiled and replied to a message on his personal terminal.

“It’s not an emergency. It doesn’t matter.”

“That’s good. I originally had a few underground battles to fight tonight, but I don’t have to worry about it now.”

Seeing this message, Chu Nan could not help but smile.

He and Angie Prairie had both chosen to adopt the underground fist fight method. Now, it seemed that Angie Prairie took much larger steps than him.

“What do you plan to do after seeing Durica and those people?” Chu Nan asked again.

“It depends. I’ll help them as much as I can. It’s best to take them away and bring them back to the Earth Federation. This way, they won’t have to live in such conditions.”

Angie Prairie’s answer was as Chu Nan had expected. It was also the best solution he could think of.

However, there was a problem with doing this.

“It might not be a problem to take them away from here, but it’s probably a problem to bring them to the Earth Federation. The federation has a very strict population restriction outside.”

“No problem. If there’s really a problem, I’ll ask Master to help me.”

Chu Nan raised his head in surprise and sighed in his mind when he saw the firm expression on Angie Prairie’s face.

Angie Prairie had always disliked revealing her master’s identity in front of others. Now, because of these people, she was willing to ask for Supremacy Oville’s help. It could be seen how much she cared.

However, if Supremacy Oville took action, it would not be a problem for the federation government to accept these people.

After all, she was one of the only 19 Star-Grade Martial Artists in the federation. The government would still do her this favor.

“There’s another question. How can you persuade them to leave with you?”

Angie Prairie frowned, clearly realizing that this was a problem.

No matter how bad these people’s life was here, it was still the land and life they were familiar with. If they were to rashly follow a person they were not strictly familiar with to another country more than a thousand light-years away, they would probably not agree so easily.

Chu Nan could not think of a solution to this problem for the time being and could only take it one step at a time.

At this moment, Durica suddenly leaned over curiously and pointed at the virtual screen that the two of them had unfolded. “Is this the legendary personal terminal?”

“Legendary?” Chu Nan was amused by her words. He thought for a moment and adjusted his personal screen. He pulled out a small game from his personal terminal and displayed it in front of her before teaching her how to play it.

In the end, she was a girl who was not even ten years old. With a game to play, she immediately forgot about other problems and quickly became obsessed.

Chu Nan and Angie Prairie looked at each other and smiled, confirming their decision to take Durica and the others away.

At the very least, it was common sense that everyone in the Earth Federation had a personal terminal.

“Angie Prairie, I think…”

Just as Chu Nan spoke, his expression changed at the same time as Angie Prairie and he looked at the front of the train.

A ball of flames flew over at high speed from the left with thick smoke, pointing at the fuel locomotive they were on.

Boom!
