Chapter 57： Bayland bus station

The spicy and delicious aroma of Red Star is still jumping in the mouth, but the Oriji planet, the second stop of the Shakespeare, is already far behind, the iron-red planet covered with metal is very individual. However, due to the excessive logging by humans, the environment of the entire planet has been severely damaged. From the famous gold rush valley in the past, it has become a kind of fragile little flower that grows on the metal surface as a selling point. It is a poor star that attracts people to travel. People mourned.

The population of Orijie Planet has changed from one billion at its peak to more than two million today. This change is only a hundred years.

After the metal planet passed, the third stop, Yale Star, also gradually faded in the eyes of Ryan and Auston. This planet with a pungent sulfur smell in the air must wear protective clothing to land, and the population living here is even more. There are only a mere 200,000 to 300,000 people, who make a living by collecting pungent air and separating useful gases. They are workers hired by the same factory. The reason why this planet is used as one of the tourist stops is because the color halo floats in the air all the year round, and the heavy colors have a light texture like satin, like a living oil painting, just like Van Gogh's "Starry Sky". , the swirling brown clumps of light are star after star, and the meandering colored gas is wisps of clouds.

If someone is so involved in admiring the scenery that he neglects his protective mask, inhaling a lot of pungent gas, hospitalization is mild, and it is the norm that the lungs are burnt through until death.

Beauty and danger coexist.

Wealth is also inseparable from danger.

Who would have thought that some of these gases, which are very poisonous at first sight, can be used in cosmetics after being refined, and become the secret of maintaining beauty for human beings.

After the third stop is the fourth stop, Grexing. There is nothing to say about this planet. After the tour of the first two small planets, the guests are in urgent need of an ordinary and comfortable trip to see the blue sky of the lake and the quiet blue color The grass, enjoy the air without any characteristic smell, feel the warm and comfortable sunshine, that's all.

After spending a whole day on Grey Star, everyone went on the Shakespeare to spend the night. When they woke up, they arrived at the fifth stop, Bayland, the largest planet in this trip. As a second-class planet, it has a population of two More than one billion, has a very prosperous economy and a unique culture - ice sculpture culture. In streets and alleys, squares and courtyards, ice sculptures can be as high as tens of meters or short and only occupy large ones, or stand alone or in twos or threes or in groups. Ice sculptures derived from myths, reality and other themes can be seen everywhere.

Bayland's igloo bar is worth a visit. The ice cubes taken in the open air sink into the beer and drink it in the warm summer room. Exploding honey, cold and sweet, beer paired with honey, and only imaginative Baylanders know how to indulge in what nature has to offer. Honey comes from where they're going next, so I won't talk about it here.

I made an appointment with Fan Lianting, who lives in the capital of Bayland, to meet at the Blue Moonlight Bar. The agreed time is 9:30 in the morning, and it is only after 7:00. Before going, Ryan and Auston have to do one thing first. Sending Evan, known as the "musician", to the police station, 5,000 star coins is not a small fortune. Of course, Ryan and Auston are not short of this money, but they feel very unsafe to see Evan walking around on the cruise ship. This is an interstellar trafficker who specializes in stealing children.

In the interstellar era of low fertility, it is normal for couples who have been married for many years to have no children of their own. The deformed industry that emerged under the anxiety of low birthrate is full of the black market. Children under five years old are on the black market. The most popular "product".

Evan mixed in with the staff of the Shakespeare, and used his eloquent tongue to gain the trust of the captain and the general cleaning staff. Ryan initially inquired about the "musician" who had worked on the cruise ship for five years. In 2018, he worked diligently, and the band he brought out was well received by tourists, and was also selected as the outstanding employee of the year twice.

In this context, even if Ryan throws the bounty in front of those people, it will not help, but will startle the snake. To this end, Ryan chose the Shakespeare to dock in Bayland for routine maintenance, and all the ship's personnel (including tourists and ship staff) had the opportunity to get off the ship to catch people.

Such travel sideshows are much more fun than playing on various small planets.

"He went to the east alley." Auston, who was wearing a black mask, glanced at the entrance of Bar Street and quickly locked their target.

Auston has been educated in the big picture since he was a child. How to release tasks as a commander, control the whole process, and achieve goals... This is the first time that he has done this kind of personal hunt for adventurers. His black eyes flashed with excitement. Unexpected enthusiasm to participate in it.

The two followed Evan all the way off the cruise ship. Evan had a sufficient geographical advantage. The cruise ship disappeared in front of their eyes after turning around in the berthing port. It took Ryan and Auston half an hour to find it again. This man, at this time, was holding a white swaddle in his hand, a baby he stole from nowhere. Once Evan is allowed to escape, the child will completely disappear into the vast sea of ​​people, and it will be very difficult to retrieve it.

"Let's follow, and we must control Evan before he lets go." Ryan said, he glanced at the east alley, and the map in his mind was running and positioning quickly. He guessed, "Evan is going to the bus station."

Ryan and Auston glanced at each other, without words, they acted at the same time in tacit understanding, and ran to the east alley. The biggest difference between the bus station in the interstellar era and the bus station in the ancient earth period is that the energy used by the vehicle is different. In addition, the crowd is dense, the composition is complex, etc., as always, it is too easy to change hands at the bus station for a baby.

Not to mention the real-name system for ticket sales. The baby in your arms does not need to buy a ticket. To put it bluntly, it is a precious luggage in the hands of the parents, which is easily ignored. A congressman once proposed that a baby should also buy a ticket to get on the bus, but it was opposed by a large number of people who depended on the car as a means of transportation. Whether it is now or in the past, the low price of bus tickets is the first choice for many low- and middle-income earners. A fast ride experience, not wasted on checking baby tickets.

The two entered the alley a step too late, and Evan, who was familiar with the environment here, had already left.

"Go!" Auston didn't stop, he raised his long legs, and was about to go directly to the station. A tremor came from his wrist, and the personal terminal adjusted to silent mode reminded him that there was news coming in. Auston raised his hand to look, and after seeing the above information, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a deep voice, "The baby is gone."

"I got the message too."

Bellander is the home of the Graydon Stark family of three. They said goodbye in the morning. The fat Graydon invited Ryan and Auston to visit their house when they were free. They got along with each other in just a few days. All very pleasant. The baby is a little cutie who can eat, sleep, and neither cry nor make trouble. He grows in the same way day by day. Auston feels that every time he sees him, he is a new one. Just say goodbye in the morning, less than an hour, the child is gone!

Ryan and Auston kept their feet, and dialed the video call with Gray. They connected as soon as they dialed, and the people over there were obviously waiting at the personal terminal. As soon as he was connected to the sweaty Graydon, he said quickly: "We are at the police station now, and we have reported the case, but, but..." Graydon had to say the reality that was very cruel to them now but had to face , "But it takes time for the police to investigate, and the baby may be gone forever if it is a little later."

"Don't panic, explain the whole process of the baby's disappearance." Ryan's calm and warm voice has a calming effect, and it was transmitted to Graydon's ears through the Internet, and Graydon, who was so anxious, calmed down visibly to the naked eye.

Graydon looked at Ryan on the video call screen, and his heart suddenly settled down, as if Ryan was the Dinghai Shenzhen, a **** and Buddha alive, as long as he told him what happened, he would be able to find the baby. Graydon closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "After Herman and I got off the cruise ship, we found the small starship parked at the berth, and the equipment boarded the ship to go home. We parked in a relatively remote position. It takes 30 minutes to get there. When we found the little starship, someone came out to ask us for directions. I wondered why someone came to ask for directions in such a remote place, but he still told him how to go. Just finished speaking, I and I Herman lost consciousness. When he woke up, the babysitter robot was blown up, and the baby in Herman's arms was gone."

The nanny robot resisted in order to protect the child, but the home-assistant robot did not have effective means of force and was easily subdued.

When he found that the child was missing, Starkoff immediately called the police. The police dispatched the police very quickly, and they also called the nearby surveillance to check. They could not find the trace of the person who stole the child through the surveillance. Obviously, the other party was very familiar with the location of the surveillance. Going to a dead end and hiding his whereabouts.

Police are asking Herman if they have any enemies. Graydon had already been questioned. After the questioning, he stood helplessly in the corridor, and suddenly thought of Ryan and Auston. These two friends he met during travel gave him a very mysterious and powerful feeling. Maybe There is a way to find the baby. Graydon grabbed the last straw like a drowning man, and sent a message to Ryan and Auston at the same time, without a direct video call, because even at this time he still maintained a trace of sanity inherited from his great-great-grandfather - request People help, and don't be a person who rashly disturbs others.

After talking about the disappearance of the child and the whole process of their coping, Graydon looked eagerly at Ryan and Auston on the screen, expecting that they would be able to show their power and find the child at once.

Ryan frowned lightly. They were looking for a human trafficker, and Graydon's child was lost again. There are no 100% coincidences in the world, and most of them are caused by human beings. Ryan has a guess that can basically be concluded as a fact. When Evan stayed on the Shakespeare as an ordinary band leader, he was looking for "goods". When the time came, he would deliver the goods. The baby became his chosen target. There are so many people on the cruise ship. , there must be people missing. How could Evan, a "musician" with five thousand star coins on the reward list, catch a child in just one trip, there must be.

There was an exclamation from Graydon, which confirmed Ryan's guess, "Someone has come to report the case again, I seem to have seen it before. It was on a cruise ship." The screen moved, and he hurried over to listen to the news. The cry was passed to Ryan and Auston, and then Graydon looked at the camera with a dark face and panic, "It was on the Shakespeare, they lost a three-year-old girl, and they were about to walk out of the mooring. Take a taxi in Hong Kong, and the child is gone in a blink of an eye.”

Similarly, the police could not find the suspect in the surveillance.

The police can already be sure that this is a premeditated and sophisticated gang committing the crime. Why choose Bellander instead of Small Planet, that's because Bellander has more people, and the best way to make a person disappear is to disappear into the crowd.

Ryan nodded towards Auston, and it was certain that it was Evan who committed the crime.

"Someone is here again." Graydon's expression was no longer alarmed, but replaced by a strong anger, "The two families lost a five-year-old boy and a six-month-old baby, a baby girl. . These **** traffickers, don't die!" He wanted to catch those traffickers immediately and tear them apart, "How dare they, how dare they do something in Bayland, this is the capital of a second-level planet, with police and garrisoned troops, Are they crazy?"

The well-informed Ryan and Auston have thought of another level, and they have the courage to challenge the police and the army. It must be targeted. Maybe it is a community of high-level interests, maybe it is a group of rampant, murderous people without blinking an eye. There are pirates in ambush, no matter which one it is, it must be taken seriously.

Finding out who is behind is not the most important thing at the moment, what they have to do now is to find out those children who are about to change hands. Walking out of the alley and detouring a few more roads, the bus station of the capital city of the second-class planet of Belland is in front of you.

Before hanging up the video, Ryan told Graydon, "You told the police that the 'musician' Evan was found at the Capital Bus Station."

"'Musician' Evan?"

"It's a notorious interstellar human trafficker, you can tell the police." Without explaining, Ryan hurriedly explained and walked into the bus station with Allston.

To be able to become a secondary planet, Bayland must be a densely populated place, and the capital population must be the most populous city on the entire planet. The artistic sail-style building is the capital bus station of Bayland. Thousands of cars depart from here every day to all over the world. The passenger flow is astonishing. Dayton was pushed by the crowd behind him, Ryan took Auston's waist and spun lightly to avoid the crowd. He came to a colonnade, got close to Auston's ear in the noise, and said, "I'll go to the station's office. Station master, ask to check the monitoring." There is no special identity that requires the cooperation of all departments of the station, so if you say that your child is lost, and you ask to check the monitoring, it should be nothing.

Auston said, "I'll go." Compared with Ryan, his biggest advantage is his identity. Now he doesn't need to worry about whether he is exposed or not. It is important to save people.

Ryan thought about it, this is the most convenient and quick way, he said: "I'm going around, maybe I can run into them." It takes time to connect, and Evan should not have left the bus station so quickly.

"Okay, keep in touch at all times." Auston nodded, and the two acted separately.

It's not a year, but there are still a lot of people at the station. Some people leave the station and some people enter the station. There are old people and children. Men and women are in a hurry with their luggage. Loud music, children's crying, and parents' persuasion The sound is endless, the smell of oranges, the smell of instant noodles, and the fragrance of boiled tea eggs in the pots of the small supermarket. Time seems to stop here, and everything goes back thousands of years back to the era of the mother planet.

However, this is just a momentary trance thought, seeing the display screen suspended in the air, the holographic projection and the robot passing through the crowd, this is still the station of the interstellar age.

Lane, who wore the same mask as Auston, looked around like normal, his eyes swept across the faces inadvertently, and the rewards that he once remembered in his mind after just one glance appeared one by one, The people you see are compared one by one.

no, no, no...

So far, no one has been found to resemble the person in the bounty, unless Evan's chosen connector has not been noticed by the Imperial Police. Ryan has received systematic training, even if a person's face is 80% camouflaged, he can almost determine whether the person is the one he is looking for just by looking at it, so all the camouflage is useless to him.

He has two guesses, Evan's contact person is a veteran who has not been wanted by the police, or a newcomer who has not yet made a name for himself. Of course, it is not ruled out that the station is so big that he has not seen anyone.

The young man with a black suitcase beside his leg is suspicious; the cowardly woman who comes out of the bathroom looks suspiciously; the three men and two women leaning against the wall and looking around while talking are suspicious; the old man who keeps coughing is suspicious; selling everywhere The children of electronic cigarettes are suspicious; there must be a problem with the station service robot passing by!

At this moment, the voice of Auston, who revealed his identity and obtained the assistance of the station master, reached Ryan's ears through his personal terminal, and he said in a calm and composed voice: "Ryan, the walking path of the robot passing by you is wrong, and the child is in it. in the stomach."

Lane's eyes swept over the robot and landed on the surrounding crowd. His eyes were cold, and his muscles were instantly mobilized. A dagger slipped from the sleeve tied to his forearm to his right hand, and the siren sounded from Far and near, the station police were instructed to draw their guns and walked out of the police room, looking at the crowd aimlessly.

Oops!

Shocked by the grass.

Ryan knew it was too late, and he said quickly, "They're going to do it."

When it was too late, Ryan rushed out, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him at such a high speed. With a bang, the robot that changed its course and moved quickly was knocked down. Looking closely, the robot's belly was opened, and Ryan was knocked down. There was a small baby wrapped in a white swaddle on the crook of his arm. The child fell into a deep sleep abnormally. It was the son of Graydon and Herman.

"Lane, behind you."

Auston's reminder and Ryan's actions are seamlessly connected. The old man who sneaked up on Ryan missed the shot, and if he failed, he made up for it. The crutches on the old man's hands became a life-threatening weapon. Going away with Ryan's vital points, but every single blow was in vain.

The old man roared angrily, threw away his crutches, and turned to his seat to grab a gun. There are security checks when entering the station. The robbing is disassembled and disguised as various parts of the suitcase and brought in. It takes a lot of effort to pack it up.

"Ha ha."

You Dai Qingnen's mockery came from Ryan's direction at ten o'clock. It was a big boy who was looking at eighteen or seventeen years old. There was a red pimple on his forehead, and a few stubble stubble on his chin was cherished and not shaved. Lose. At his feet was a large black suitcase, the kind that could fit a child. The big boy gestured towards Ryan to shoot, blinked his eyes feigning evil, and made a "bang" in his mouth.

The voice fell, and the station service robot that was knocked down by Ryan turned over and changed into a combat mode. It was cylindrical, with silent tracks at the bottom, a round head on the top, and two arms. It looked like there were many exclamation marks upside down. When he grabbed his hand, the robot "wearing" the uniform suddenly lost its business-like cuteness, replaced it with cold killing, and an electronically synthesized voice sounded, "Clear. Clear. Clear."

The two round arms were raised straight, the hand position retracted, and a black machine gun muzzle appeared. The machine gun part flashed red light, and the subtle clattering sound was caught by Ryan. He narrowed his eyes, this was the bullet loading. the sound of.

The big boy showed a bright smile at Ryan. He suddenly raised his head and shouted around, "Shoot, run away." The stunned crowd then reacted, screaming, the scene suddenly chaotic, the crowd seemed to be gone The head flies fled in all directions, causing another trouble for Ryan.

It was only 20 seconds after Ryan brought down the robot and carried the child out to the time he was attacked by the old man and the robot rioted. After a few breaths, the people around didn't react at all.

The big boy standing beside the black suitcase raised his eyebrows and operated the robot without haste. About a hundred meters away, three more station robots changed direction and approached Ryan.

Ryan chuckled lightly, not at all afraid. This made the big boy very strange. He stared at Ryan curiously. Does this person know the current situation?

Ryan laughed because of his strength. He stood on the spot and didn't see any special movements. Suddenly, he raised his leg and exerted force. With full power in his right leg, he kicked the robot that was loading bullets. The round head flew out and hit the old man who was assembling the gun. The old man who looked like a chicken thief let out a cry of pain.

The biggest disadvantage of station robots is that the connection between the head and the body is not strong in order to be cute.

Calm and composure, the big boy who thought he was in control of the situation widened his eyes, couldn't help but slowly stood up, staring at Ryan's line of sight and slowly climbed into panic. The connection between the head and the body of the station service robot is unstable, but it is not enough to let people fly with a kick. Besides, the robot he secretly modified is reinforced, and the strength on the feet is not 300 pounds. Don't think about it. .

"Are you a human?"

The big boy asked the old man who was lying on the ground, thinking that he had been in the interstellar space for more than 100 years, and his legs and feet were not easy to kill.

They all have doubts about life.

"what!"

Cries of pain and screams sounded from the direction of the toilet, awakening the dazed sanity of the big boy. He shrugged and said loudly: "You are too powerful, I can't face you, bye~ Let's play with my baby." He However, he controlled several station robots, and he didn't have time to modify it, and he didn't have any lethal weapons, but it could also cause a lot of trouble to the man.

Two fists are invincible against four hands. No matter how powerful that man is, what use is there? Can one person be used as an army against a group of people?

The smell of blood continued to spread in the waiting room. A timid woman took out a machete and slashed when she saw it. No one let go. Three men and two women leaning against the wall also joined the slashing. Falling down, it was already covered in bright red blood when it was lifted, and it was a one-handed kill.

The little boy selling e-cigarettes laughed mischievously, unscrewed the e-cigarette in his hand and threw it to the ground, thick smoke appeared, obscuring his sight.

Like this, the police still arrest them like this, hee hee.

The gangsters who were stimulated to the nerves by the sound of the sirens kept doing nothing, and simply started to work in the waiting room. As the big boy said, Ryan is only one person, and no matter how powerful his fists are, he can't stop all the evils from happening. It's good that he can solve the troubles around him. That boy must be a genius with mechanical convenience. There are as many as twelve station robots under his control, including the one killed by Ryan. The station robots have basic fighting abilities, which are not difficult to deal with, but difficult to deal with.

Ryan, who was holding the child, jumped out of the robot's encirclement, and faced the old man's crutches again. Shortly dodging, Ryan turned around halfway under his feet, dodging the attack of the old man again, the old man shouted in anger, "Mother Xipi, **** your mother, labor and capital will **** you..." All kinds of foul language It’s been heard all the time, it’s the interstellar age, and the dirty words about greeting female elders and **** are still used in the ancient earth period.

Scolding Ryan himself, he was indifferent, and his mind was not disturbed. But when it comes to relatives, he won't take a break, and looking at the old man with cold eyes is like looking at a dead man. The old man who was scolding all the time suddenly felt cold in his vest, and half of the dirty words were in his mouth, but he couldn't spit out. For the rest of the years, he raised his hand to cover his neck, and warm blood trickled out, like the sound of extremely spring water. When did the man who has been attacked by himself move his hand? The old man's sluggish brain couldn't react, and Ryan's indifferent expression was finally reflected in the dilated pupils.

After a long time, the big boy who was hiding in the distance eating potato chips and drinking Interstellar Coke groaned.

The gangsters hiding in the crowd were not just these few people. Ryan met his opponent. It was a silent two-meter tall man, like an iron tower, like a bulldozer crushing everything he encountered. A screaming man ran into him in a panic. On his body, the silent big man's big fan-like hand grabbed the man's head, holding it in both hands like a basketball.

puff-

There was a sound of a watermelon bursting, and blood splattered, red and white.

The tower man threw away the body that was still twitching in his hands, and walked silently to Ryan, who was entangled by the robot. Ryan holding the child in his hand weakened some of his strength, and the fly-like station service robot was very annoying. He couldn't reward every one of them, and it took time to accumulate strength to kick out. The robot behind him was swung away and hit the ground with a clang. Immediately, Ryan's vest was caught. The tower man easily lifted Ryan and grabbed Ryan's foot with the other hand. He was about to break Ryan.

There were hurried footsteps behind the tower man. Auston saw this scene and jumped into the air, attacking the tower man's head.
