There Is No Afterlife - Chapter 217

“This fleet is the remnants of the Tenth Legion… It is said that their warships were attacked by invaders, so they retreated here.” Robot Stone lowered his voice when he brought the dinner plate to Argos. road.

His expression ← Well, the robot has no expression either. In short, he was talking to Argos in a very normal way. It seemed that he was only answering the master’s question, but he was actually reporting the information he had inquired to Argos. .

“They originally wanted to go to Ifadia to ask for support, but according to them, Ifadia has been destroyed, and the enemy has occupied the galaxy where Ifadia is located.” Robot 21 gave Argos a cut… The apple peel of a sliced ​​apple ← Nowadays, supplies are in short supply, and fruit is an extremely scarce item. Only one fifth of these apples was snatched from a bunch of people/robots on the 21st with the good skills that have been trained for a long time in grocery shopping. No way, after the army took over the fleet, they tightened the supplies. Although they were distributed equally, there were always some things that could not be divided equally. For example, some fruits and vegetables were often only received by those who were at the front of the line. Get it, at this time, you can see the combat effectiveness of the nanny robots! These limited items are basically only available to nanny robots. No way, they have to buy groceries every day! The best and most delicious fruits and vegetables are in short supply. Don’t look at these nanny robots buying vegetables together every day, but when it comes to grabbing vegetables, they will still fight to the death without mercy.

“The one who can grab vegetables the most is the stone, and the manipulator on No. 21 was removed by him.” ← Yuanyuan also revealed the dark history of the stone, and then continued to narrate the gossip that he had inquired: “The previous legion commander was seriously injured. “

On the 21st, he stuffed a fifth of the peeled apple into Argos’ mouth, and Argos ate it, chewing and chewing, while falling into contemplation.

Tenth Legion? The commander of this corps was Alruf Ivan Grigley, who was born in the Austrian Military Academy before the merger with the Dolan School of Strategic Studies, and at the beginning of the disaster he was ordered to rescue three nearby academies teachers and students.

Like most of the officers of the Daolan Aofa Military Academy, this officer prefers to use strategic tactics and is also a high-tech follower. He has close contacts with the owners of many large financial groups, and his mother family is the top of the empire. The cousin of the chaebol Sumek, who was brought up by his mother after his father died young due to a mission, this lady of the Sumek family showed her strong side after the death of her husband, taking advantage of the military. As the widow of a general and a top chaebol lady, she has close contacts with many senior officials of the military. Under her arrangement, after losing his father, Alruf still obtained a lot of resources from his father’s family, just like a normal senior official’s family. He grew up like an excellent heir, but when he finally chose the college, he did not enter the Horsie Military Academy, which the Grigley family normally entered, but entered the Austrian Military Academy, which was more “gentle”. It is said that his mother He even wanted him to enter the Daolan Institute of Strategic Studies, but due to the strong opposition of the Grigley family, he finally compromised and went to the Austrian and French Military Academy.

Argos’s evaluation of him is: he is more like a politician than a soldier, lacking in courage, indecisive, a good child of his mother.

Unexpectedly, he actually got on the boat of “good boy”, which is not good news.

No one understands Arruf’s abilities better than Argos. This man can play tricks, but he can’t fight at all!

But in this way, the change in the food supply after the takeover is very understandable: this man must feel that feeding so many refugees is losing money!

However, he wants the supplies and spaceships brought by the refugees, and he wants to maintain his reputation as a gentleman. Maybe he wants to bring the refugees back to earn some military exploits. In this case, it seems like a good way to give up some refugees, but This proposal cannot be made by him, and letting the refugees divide automatically is the best choice.

When supplies are scarce and the road ahead is long, there is no easier way to start than with food supplies.

Therefore, after the army took over the refugee team, it immediately adjusted the food supply.

It is still distributed equally, but there are fewer things to distribute, and there is still some food that needs to be scrambled to obtain. In this case, there will inevitably be conflicts between those who can grab it and those who can’t grab it. Like-minded people can turn against each other at any time! In addition, many people send nanny robots to receive food. The combat power of robots must be higher than those of ordinary people. It will not be long before the humans who originally accepted these robots will definitely be disgusted by robots that divide up precious food. At that time, when there are more voices of resistance, when more and more human beings propose to expel robots and robot owners, they will be able to achieve multiple things with one fell swoop…

However, if he thinks about it in this way, he feels that this is not the handwriting of Alruf. Although he likes to play tricks, he is not so despicable.

He is a person who has an overall view. Although he is more conservative due to his mother’s requirements, he will also proceed from the overall situation, otherwise the military will not send him to protect the precious next generation of the empire.

I always feel that… the wisdom of today is not like Alruf.

Thinking in his heart, Argos didn’t realize that the apple in his mouth had been eaten, and he was still chewing and chewing until he almost bit his tongue, and then he woke up from his meditation.

His legs sank, and Argos saw Xiao Hei lightly step on his leg with a paw. Then, he saw a very frightening scene: Xiao Hei looked around vigilantly, and then his mouth suddenly Big big – big open!

Just like a snake! Oops! ← Argos thought.

He immediately saw an apple fall out of Xiao Hei’s wide-open mouth.

That’s right! A whole! complete! No peeling!

After spitting out the apple, Xiao Hei immediately rolled the apple under Argos’ blanket.

After doing all this, he raised his head and looked around again, and then the dim light screen flickered: “I was seen by two soldiers when I was walking by the road today, and they said that mice had entered the storage room. , asked me to catch the mouse. Then Xiao Hei went to catch the mouse, and after catching the mouse, by the way… picked up the apple that fell on the ground.”

Xiao Hei talked about his experience today, then tilted his head and emphasized: “It’s not the apple in the storage cabinet, it’s the apple that fell on the ground with a bug eye on it, they don’t want it.”

But thinking that this is an apple that others don’t want, Xiao Hei worried that Argos would not see the apple’s “discarded” status, and quickly added: “The owner said that the fruit that has been bitten by insects is more delicious. This apple must be delicious. Mr. Al, didn’t you say you wanted to eat an apple yesterday?”

“Ah? When did I say that?” Argos frowned.

“When you’re talking in your sleep.” Xiao Hei said honestly.

So Argos was speechless.

No wonder today first went to grab an apple for himself on the 21st, and then Xiao Hei spit out another one for himself.

He touched the stone under the blanket, moved in his heart, and finally resisted the desire to touch Xiao Hei’s hand.

“…While catching mice in the warehouse today, two soldiers said that Lieutenant General Grigley was seriously injured and was about to lose his hold. Now the person who takes over the command is the person with the highest rank on the spacecraft. His name is Pei Nan. Lieutenant General.” Just as Argos was touching the apple, Xiao Hei suddenly said something unexpected, which is simply too important! The contradictions that I felt before have been solved at once!

“It turned out to be that guy.” The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Argos showed a sarcastic smile.

Due to insufficient military merit, Pei Nan’s rank of lieutenant general was promoted exceptionally because he became the dean of the Daolan Aofa Military Academy. This guy has been talking about soldiers all his life, and he has done a lot of theoretical research on strategy and tactics, but he has never actually fought a war. But this guy has no self-awareness. In recent years, he has frequently tried to gain some real power. However, when the empire was peaceful, he did not get this opportunity. Now…

“Are you going crazy if you want to be in power?” Argos smiled contemptuously.

After laughing, when he looked at the four robots around him again, the emotions in his eyes were even more complicated: to find out the situation of the warship so easily, these nanny robots should not be underestimated.

***

As Argos had expected, conflicts over food supplies began to break out on a small scale—

The first to erupt were the three-headed people. They were short-tempered and sensitive. The conflict caused by their race exploded during a meal grab.

The three people were temporarily locked in confinement, and the rest continued to live. However, the food supply policy continued, and soon, the contradiction between robots and humans broke out!

The mistakes of the robot are all borne by the master, and this contradiction immediately leads to the contradiction between the humans in the fleet.

Argos didn’t expect: he actually became the protagonist of a conflict!

The apple that Xiao Hei brought him has been discovered!

Someone even made a video of the scene where Xiao Hei spit out an apple at him, and then accused the robot of stealing!

With food already so scarce, any small conflict involving food can turn into a major conflict that cannot be avoided. But who is Argos? The current leader of the Imperial Guard is most aware of all kinds of conspiracies in his life. He was born in the government affairs office, and has been immersed in all kinds of political figures. This is the army with the highest average quality, the most complicated mind, and the most shyness among the imperial soldiers! Being able to climb quickly in this place, and finally secure the position of the boss, Argos is of course a very capable person.

He first denied that his robot’s actions were theft, insisting that it was “picked” by the robot on the floor.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly turned people’s attention from “stealing” to “picking up”: what’s the situation now? Didn’t this army say there was a shortage of food? In the case of shortage, can you still choose the fat and the thin? Even throw away the bug-eyed apple?

People’s attention was instantly diverted from the robot to “military waste”.

Immediately afterwards, someone said that all the fruits they ate recently were brought by themselves, and people immediately thought that the food they eat now is all their own?

Then, as the previous material manager, Shi Shi reported the reserve of all the remaining materials before taking over.

…

As a seriously wounded, still immobile, Argos skillfully diverted the current conflict. The refugees who had shown signs of division were not only united, but their relationship was even better than before. People are constantly asking today’s administrators to announce the use of materials. Those who want to sit by and enjoy their success are now unable to sit still, and they are exhausted every day. Under such circumstances, the daily food supply has actually returned to the way it used to be.

“Sure enough, he’s an idiot.” Argos, who had a bandage on his face, smiled sarcastically again.

“If you want a good reputation and want to do bad things, how can there be such a simple thing? It’s a big no-no when you’re halfway through acting…” Just as he did with his assistant officers in the past, he casually said his analysis, in some cases On the one hand, Argos thinks that he is qualified to be the dean of the academy. You see: how persuasive he is and how willing he is to guide him!

He didn’t pay attention at all, and before he knew it, he had already treated the four robots as his closest subordinates.

Hearing his words, Robot Stone tilted his head.
