My Empire of Stars

Chapter 648 Poor Person

The few people whose figures had disappeared carefully walked past the police and entered the building directly.

Unlike what was expected, there was only an empty hall of more than 100 square meters after entering the door. The police were walking back and forth in the hall. At the end of the hall were several rows of elevators. The outer shells of these elevators were made of glass, and the interior of the elevators could be seen directly from the outside.

Li Mingze and others easily slipped past the police and got into the elevator again. The transparent elevator was of no use to them.

After choosing the highest floor, the elevator bounced directly from the spot and drove everyone to the top floor.

During the operation of the elevator, Li Mingze and others finally saw what was in the building.

I saw a rectangular machine tens of meters high flashing outside the elevator, and there was a huge opening at the top of the machine.

Some staff members wearing chemical protective suits were pouring carts of corpses into the machine from the mouth at the top of the machine.

"What are these people doing? Is this building just a crematorium?" Xia Luoluo looked at the pile of corpses outside the elevator and wondered.

"No, this is their food factory!" Li Mingze's face darkened, pointing to a running conveyor belt and said in a deep voice.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the conveyor belt, only to see that it was filled with things they were familiar with, which was the nutrient solution that those people outside consumed every day.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Xia Luoluo could no longer hold on, and she opened her mask and vomited.

She didn't expect that the nutrient solution these people ate every day was actually obtained in this way, which made her sicker than eating shit.

"These people converted the corpses into nutrient solution to supply the residents outside, and at the same time made nutrient solution from the troublemakers and those who died of illness or for some reason."

"This seems to form a cycle. If those people outside reduce their physical activities, this cycle can last for a long time!" Li Mingze analyzed with a frown.

"Captain, look at what that is!" A team member suddenly pointed to the other side of the elevator.

When Li Mingze and others turned their heads, they saw that there was a plant cultivation warehouse inside the building.

Rows of various vegetables and fruits in these planting warehouses are growing well. Li Mingze even saw plants that look like rice on Earth.

"Are these artificially grown food?"

"Since there are artificially grown food, why do we have to process those corpses into nutrient solution?" Xia Luoluo asked Li Mingze innocently.

"You don't need to know." Li Mingze shook his head. Of course, he would not tell Xia Luoluo the cruel reason.

With a beep, the elevator reached the middle floor of the high-rise building, which is also the top floor that this elevator can reach.

After getting out of the elevator, the environment of this floor has finally changed. The white walls are inlaid with golden patterns, and beautiful plants are planted on both sides of the corridor.

Maids in gorgeous clothes shuttled in the corridor, and two policemen stood at the door of each room.

"This should be where the high-level of this spaceship is located." Xia Luoluo frowned slightly. She didn't expect that the outside was so miserable, but the people inside lived such a luxurious life.

"Each room has a number. Let's go find No. 001." Li Mingze waved his hand and took the lead to walk forward. According to the nature of normal civilization, the first room number must belong to the place where the captain of this spaceship lives.

Sure enough, when they followed the room number to the end of the corridor, a room occupying a small half-floor space appeared in front of everyone.

At the door of this room stood ten guards in heavy power armor.

"Boss, should we go in!" Chu Lin, the deputy weapon of the spaceship, asked Li Mingze.

"No hurry, someone is coming!" Li Mingze shook his head gently and stepped aside.

Ten girls pushing food carts slowly came to the door of the room from the corridor.

The guards at the door took the scanner to scan the girls and the food cart, and then opened the door of the room.

Li Mingze and others followed these girls into this special room.

Opposite the door is a 500-square-meter living room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room can overlook the entire city.

On the side of the living room, there was a dining table more than ten meters long.

A middle-aged man and his two wives were sitting at the table waiting for the maids to serve the dishes.

As the maids lifted the lid of the dining cart, plates of various exquisite dishes were served on the table.

The middle-aged man and his two wives could not help but start using their knives and forks after the dishes were served.

"How could there be such bastards as you!" After the maids left, Xia Luoluo could no longer bear it and directly turned off the stealth device and put the knife in his hand across the middle-aged man's neck.

"Who are you? How am I a bastard?" The middle-aged man calmly picked up a piece of steak with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't tell me who we are! Why do you let the people outside eat the nutrient solution made by their own kind, while you are enjoying the food here!" Xia Luoluo shouted angrily.

"Oh? You call this cruel?"

"Little girl, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. It is obviously because of my kindness that they have the nutrient solution they have now! They are still alive to eat!" The man snorted coldly and continued to eat the food on the table.

Li Mingze stepped forward and grabbed Xia Luoluo's hand and said: "Let him speak."

The man unexpectedly looked back at Li Mingze who suddenly appeared, and coughed twice.

"Since the Zerg invasion began, I used my company's assets to start building this escape spaceship!"

"The original design standard of this spacecraft was to accommodate my family, the scientists in the company, and all the employees!"

"But when we finally prepared to take off, these people begged us to take them away, even if we didn't give them food."

"You have to understand, if I bring these refugees who are several times our population, then our food will be completely insufficient, and the ecosystem in the spacecraft will collapse!"

"In the years when they boarded the ship, you saw a city full of flowers, plants and trees, every building had an ecological zone, and the city was full of hover cars."

"But what did these refugees who begged us to take them away do? They have no skills, but they want a better life! They started protesting and marching! They want us to hand over control of the spacecraft and implement democracy!"

"They want more food, they want better houses, but they don't reflect on who saved them at all!" The man took a sip of red wine and tightened the hand holding the fork.
