The Chosen Game

Chapter 9 Stellar Storm
Mother Li Xiufang was also full of joy: "Being a mining truck driver not only makes mining much safer, but also pays more. In this way, our family can live better."

"Yes." Xin Kang said with a smile: "I asked, after becoming a mining truck driver, my salary is 1800 Imperial Star Coins, which is a full 400 Imperial Star Coins more than before."

"Father, congratulations, congratulations on your promotion." Xin You obediently walked to his father's side and congratulated him.

Xin Kang laughed, stretched out his thick, calloused palms, and rubbed Xin You's little head.

"I'll go see Xin'er in the barn." Li Xiufang glanced at her son, and she planned to go out again before the dust on her body was completely cleaned off.

In order to live on this desolate desert Saturn, the couple have to work to earn money all day long, so naturally they have no time to take care of their daughter. Therefore, Xin Xin, who is still an infant, will be sent to the small town of Black Stone while working. The baby barn is taken care of by the artificial intelligence program in the barn. Although this requires a lot of money, staying in the barn is more conducive to the growth of the baby than staying outside Therefore, despite their reluctance, the husband and wife usually entrust their daughters in the warehouse. Only when they have a few vacation days, they will take their daughter back and take care of them by themselves.

Not to mention Xin Xin, Xin You also stayed in the baby barn before he was 2 years old.

"Okay." Xin Kang nodded, took off his thick protective coat, patted the dust on it with his hands, and said with a smile: "By the way, go buy some natural ingredients and come back. Let's have a good meal tonight."

Li Xiufang stopped in her tracks and gave her husband a blank look: "Didn't you just have a good meal for Xin You's birthday yesterday? I think it's better to save the money. I checked it today, and it will be two years later. It is estimated that the policy will be relaxed, as long as the immigration fee of 2 star coins is collected, we can leave Desert Saturn and immigrate to those administrative planets in the inner circle of the empire."

Xin Kang touched his nose with his hand: "But...Xiufang, I don't know anything except mining. I really want to immigrate..."

"What are you afraid of? We both have hands and feet, and we still worry about not being able to find a job?" Li Xiufang said with a bit of resentment: "Besides, we have to think about You'er and Xiner. Do you want your own Are your sons and daughters like you, living a lifetime in Desert Saturn, a place where birds don’t lay eggs?”

On Xin Kang's dark and honest face, his brows were frowned into a Sichuan character, but he quickly relaxed: "That's right, then listen to your wife, let's not buy those raw ingredients, let's work hard to save money , and try to immigrate to a planet with a better environment with my son and daughter in a few years, you are right, the environment here is indeed too harsh."

A smile finally appeared on Li Xiufang's face: "Let's go, I'll be back when I finish watching my daughter."

Not long after she left, the machine butler standing next to the corner of the living room suddenly spoke with its electronically synthesized voice: "Now broadcast an important news. Three days later, there will be a strong stellar storm. All kinds of communication networks and electronic equipment will be strongly disturbed, and the duration of the storm is estimated to be two days, please prepare for the residents of Desert Saturn, repeat, three days later..."

"A stellar storm is about to blow again..." Xin You muttered a little unhappily.

The harsh environment on Desert Saturn is largely related to the young star in the center of the Desert Saturn galaxy. This star may be too young, and it will be restless from time to time, spewing out some high-energy particles. So it is hard for the residents on the desert Saturn. On this desert Saturn, there will be several strong magnetic storms almost every year.

The arrival of a strong magnetic storm means that during that period of time, the Internet on Desert Saturn will be completely disconnected, and most of the mechanical equipment will fail. Even the satellites orbiting Desert Saturn will be damaged in the storm. Temporarily stop working.

Xin Kang gently rubbed Xin You's head with his hands: "It's okay, it's just a few days, it will pass soon."

Xin You nodded, and hummed lightly. He has experienced this kind of strong magnetic storm from the stars many times since he can remember, and he is no stranger to it.

Three days later, Xin You wrapped himself up tightly in protective clothing and a helmet, and followed behind his parents, facing the sand and dust, and walked towards the big mountain on which the town of Heishi relied.

Xin Kang carried a huge black backpack on his back, and protected Li Xiufang, who was holding his daughter in his arms, and his son Xin You behind him, protecting them from the wind and sand.

Not only Xinkang's family, but many residents of Heishi Town are struggling to move on this dusty street. They converge into a stream of people, carrying some necessities for daily life, winding like a long snake. Winding towards the big mountain next to the town.

In the mountainside of this mountain, a huge space has already been dug out, and a special shelter has been built. Whenever a severe stellar storm strikes, the residents in Blackstone Town will enter this shelter to escape. An impending stellar storm.

The thick soil layer of the mountain can resist the harm of the intense radiation to human beings when the stellar storm hits, so the shelter was specially built inside the mountain.

"There are still 30 minutes until the stellar storm strikes. Those who have not yet entered the base, please enter quickly. After 20 minutes, the base will be closed. Repeat..." In the shelter, the emotionless synthesized voice continued to play broadcast repeatedly.

Several staff members in uniform were walking back and forth, maintaining order within the base.

In the corner of the refuge base, under the dim light, Li Xiufang was carefully feeding her infant daughter with nutritional supplements, while Xin Kang took out a simple bedding from his backpack and spread it on the metal floor. For the next two days, they A family has to live here.

Xin You sat on the side, propping his head with his hands, he was thinking, if it was those Chosen Ones, they are so powerful, they shouldn't be afraid of such a stellar storm, right?
Ordinary people like them will fail. If they don't hide in this shelter in time, once they are affected by the strong radiation from the stars, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Xin You! Xin You!" In the distance, a familiar voice shouted.

Xin You Xunsheng looked over, with a surprised expression on his face: "Wang Hong!"

Wang Hong followed his parents and walked towards this side.

"Brother Kang, don't you mind if I put the bed next to you?" Wang Hong's father, who looked lean and thin, walked over and smiled at Xin Kang.

"What are you talking about, the two of us are together, and we can take care of each other. I'm too happy." Xin Kang said with a simple and honest smile.

"Hello, Uncle Wang." Xin You politely stood up and greeted.

Wang Hong and Xin You's father have been colleagues for many years, and they both belong to the Xia clan, so the relationship has always been very good. Because of this, the two families have many contacts, and the children of the two families naturally play together.

"There are still 2 minutes until the stellar storm strikes..." The synthetic voice continued to broadcast.

"Xin You, what about you, show it to me again?" When the adults of the two families were talking, Wang Hong came up to Xin You, rubbed his hands, and winked at Xin You.

"This stellar storm is about to come..." Xin You hesitated.

"It's all right, this is a refuge base. No matter how strong the radiation of the stars is, it won't be able to shine in here. Your treasure can't be damaged here." Wang Hong urged.

"But, there is no internet..."

"Isn't there still a few images in there? I haven't had time to look at them yet. I just took a closer look these two days..."

"Okay..." Xin You stood up, walked to his father's huge backpack, opened the backpack, and searched for his holographic imaging device inside.

"The stellar storm has arrived at Desert Saturn, everyone..." The electronically synthesized voice continued to sound emotionlessly.

The refuge base in Heishi town has been completely closed from the inside. Almost all the thousands of people in the town have entered this refuge base. They are scattered around the refuge base as a family.

Many families with better relations even got together, taking advantage of this spare time, chatting in low voices, talking and laughing.

The faces of most of the town's residents are relaxed. They have experienced such a stellar storm many times, and they have long since lost the panic they experienced when they first experienced it.

What they didn't know was that when this stellar storm swept over, thousands of small space battleships also emerged from the deep space of the universe, breaking through the atmosphere of Desert Saturn with ease like thousands of ghosts. Descended on Desert Saturn.
