Natural disasters come: I become a big boss by picking up scraps

Chapter 521 Saving Ariel 4
After walking for about ten minutes, Ling Mo arrived at his destination.

Looking around, this is a group of buildings destroyed by artillery shells, and the shadows of fighting are still lingering around.

Moreover, there was hardly anyone around.

If other people came here and saw this scene, they would not have thought that there was someone hiding here.

Under the scan of Ling Mo's mental power, Ling Mo came to the only building here that was still relatively well preserved.

After looking around, Ling Mo came to a wall and knocked on it with his hand.

The wall is hollow, concealing a secret space.

"Come out, I know there are people inside. I'm not a bad guy, I'm an escort."

After hearing Ling Mo's words, after a long time, a door on the wall slowly opened, and then a half-grown child walked out cautiously.

He has a pair of golden antennae on his head, big eyes, and his skin is light yellow.
This appearance reminded Ling Mo of a goldfish.

Originally, he had a cautious look in his eyes, but after seeing the clothes on Ling Mo, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and his big eyes were filled with tears.

During this period of time, all the grievances that he had suppressed suddenly burst out.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen children came out one after another.

At this moment, Ling Mo could probably understand why that person had shown such an aggrieved expression towards her.

Because the rest of the children are younger than him, and as the "boss" here, if even he collapses, these children will be even more frightened.

In response, Ling Mo stepped forward, patted his head soothingly, and said softly, "You did a good job."

Afterwards, Ling Mo took out a resource box containing water and food from the space.

These people have been trapped here for some time and have long consumed all the food. Now that they see the food, they can't wait to eat it.

Ling Mo originally wanted to ask them some questions, but seeing their looks, he couldn't bear to do so and just watched them eat quietly.

"Eat slowly, there's more here."

After a while, the oldest child stopped eating, looked at Ling Mo, and thanked him, "Thank you for bringing us food. My name is En."

Escort is the most dangerous profession in the interstellar space, bar none, because the places they go to are often those where the danger has not yet been eliminated and they may lose their lives at any time.

Hearing this, Ling Mo smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. By the way, why are you here? Where are your families?"

Judging from the extent of the damage to the buildings outside, it must have been attacked by pirates, but why are there only these children and no adults left as survivors?

Hearing Ling Mo's question, En's eyes dimmed and he said, "The adults were captured by the pirates. We are all orphans from the orphanage. When the pirates rushed in, I took everyone to hide in this space. When we came out again, the outside had become like this."

"During this period, the pirates occasionally came back, so we didn't dare to leave for fear of being caught. During this period, we survived on the food in the secret room."

Speaking of this secret room, Ling Mo looked towards the place where En and the others had just hidden. If she hadn't discovered their traces and kept paying attention, she might not have discovered that there was a secret room here.

This secret room seemed to have been specially treated to prevent detection by mental power.

After any detection machine has detected it, the result is that this place is solid.

"Why is there a secret room here?" Ling Mo asked curiously.

En replied, "Because this place is a shelter in itself. The reason why we are here is because today is the annual practice where the orphanage teacher takes us to practice how to enter the shelter in case of a disaster." So that's how it is.

Those people are really lucky.

However, Ling Mo was concerned about another thing at this time, that is, her mission was not shown as completed. Could it be because her supplies were not all consumed?

Thinking of this possibility, Ling Mo regretted bringing so many things with him.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Ling Mo suggested giving En and the others more food, but was rejected on the grounds that there were people who needed it more.

"By the way, you said before that all the people here were captured by pirates. Do you know where they were taken?" Ling Mo asked.

En shook his head, "I don't know about that. When the pirates came, I hid in the shelter. But every time the pirates came, they came from that direction."

As he spoke, En pointed Ling Mo in a direction.

Following the direction he pointed, Ling Mo released a golden eye to investigate the situation.

"Then do you know where else there are survivors like you?" Ling Mo continued to ask.

En shook his head again, "I don't know about that either. In order to avoid being discovered by pirates, we have not contacted the outside world during this period."

"Ok."

Although Ling Mo felt a little disappointed, he also expressed his understanding.

Seeing that some of the children still had a fever, Ling Mo left some medicine and then turned around and left.

Before leaving, Ling Mo asked Qie Man to mark this location on the map so that the search and rescue team could rescue people more accurately when they arrived.

"Wait a minute, take out the map of Ariel and try our luck in the nearest city."

Ariel is not a very large planet, with a population of several hundred thousand.

The population of the entire planet combined may not be as numerous as that of a city on another planet.

But don’t underestimate Ariel just because there are few people on it.

If Ariel wasn't special, the space pirates wouldn't risk going to war with the Federation to occupy it.

According to the information investigated by Qie Man, Ariel only produces one kind of resource, which is a purple crystal called Ariel Crystal, which is as beautiful as amethyst.

This crystal is a very important material in many fields and its price is very high.

Moreover, this kind of crystal is not mined, but grows on its own.

As long as Ariel exists, Ariel crystals will continue to grow.

As a result, Ariel was transformed from an inconspicuous asteroid with a population of less than one million into a hen that lays golden eggs.

The interstellar pirates appear here because they see the value of the planet Ariel.

"I just don't know where the pirates here are from." Ling Mo muttered to himself.
