The Cyber Galaxy Immortals Chapter 7

"Bang!"

Alex Nan opened with some difficulty the door of the No. 5 base garage, which had not been maintained for who knows how long. The authority to open the door was provided by the woman above her head.

And the moment he opened the garage door, the eyes behind the blindfold were filled with disgust, as if he was looking at a pile of garbage.

The fact is, the scene before his eyes was not much different from a garbage dump!

Various spare parts were scattered all over the floor, and miscellaneous items of unknown purpose were piled up everywhere. Even the floating engineering vehicle in the middle of the garage was filled with things.

This hovercraft looks like it can still be used. It has a shell, which makes Alex Nan feel envious.

If he had a hovercraft like this, it wouldn't seem so hard for him to go out to work, right?

He struggled to find a passage through the dusty pile of debris and walked inside.

At this moment he suddenly came to his senses and was about to turn on the radiation detector on his work clothes to check the radiation level in the garage.

As soon as the thought came to his mind and before he could take any action, the radiation detector on the forearm of his work clothes lit up by itself. He didn't even need to look down, because a strong image of radiation contamination appeared on the projection of his retina.

Every single thing in this garage is filled with radioactive garbage!

The auxiliary device is powerful and has autonomously connected all the devices he carries with him.

Alex Nan's expression of disgust intensified, and he communicated: "I think I know what's going on with Old Charlie."

The woman said, "Radiation sickness, I guess."

Alex Nan asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

The woman sneered, "Hehe, do you think this is the first time these idiots have done something like this?"

"I looked through the logs in the space station a while ago and found that there have been thirty-one incidents caused by radiation sickness in the past four construction periods, or twelve years."

Alex Nan had found the door to the living area by now, but instead of pushing the door open directly, he went to look for a radiation removal device.

Then he helplessly discovered that the device was broken.

He said, "Well, there's radiation everywhere, and the radiation purification device is broken. I'm afraid I can't open the door to Lao Mu's living area rashly."

The woman said: "Do you think it could get any worse since he has been working in this environment for a long time and now he has lost contact?"

"Let's first determine his condition, and then discuss other matters."

Alex Nan felt that it was right, mainly because of what she said. If Old Charlie really died because he pushed the door now, it couldn't be blamed on him.

Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

As a result, first of all, the radiation marks on the retina did not disappear, and the dark space was full of traces of radiation contamination, the degree of contamination was not even worse than that in the garage next door!

Moreover, the small space of 30 square meters was filled with all kinds of rotten food residues, smelly clothes, and countless bottles and cans...which looked like alcoholic beverages.

Alex Nan dared to bet that Old Charlie had definitely squandered all of his salary!

He was even afraid to take a step forward, for fear of stepping on something sticky.

In comparison, he even felt that the messy garage outside seemed cleaner.

He did not go in, but gave an order in his mind: Search for humanoid creatures!

Then, many analysis wireframes immediately appeared in his field of vision.

The auxiliary device does not have direct reconnaissance capabilities, but it can quickly analyze everything within his sight.

Then, he immediately found a dirty, black hand in a corner filled with food packaging.

Alex Nan frowned, looked at that area, then stood at the door and pushed out a palm towards that area.

The next moment, strong wind pressure blew away the messy food packaging in the corner, revealing a bloated old man inside.

The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a chubby body, and it was obvious that he was living a decadent life.

There was dirt, grease and food residue all over his body, and it looked like he hadn't taken a shower in a while.

However, what concerned Alex Nan was that both of his legs had been replaced with mechanical prosthetic limbs, and one of his arms had been modified with many tool slots.

The torso has not been modified, after all, torso modification is probably the most expensive.

This is the typical image of the lower-class people on the Chenyuan 06 space station. They have done a lot of heavy work to make a living, and this process will cause a lot of irreparable pain to their bodies, and then they will replace their bodies with mechanical prostheses.

Or perhaps, in order to take on high-paying but high-demand jobs, they deliberately replace their healthy limbs with mechanical prostheses with directional functions.

They always seem to have a particularly hard time making a living.

Seeing this, Alex Nan let go of some of his disgust and after a moment of hesitation, he came up with a good idea.

Speaking of which, the air shield technique is a concentrated high-density airflow, and he can also change its shape. So can it be changed into the shape of a 'hand' to grab heavy objects for him?

He tried it anyway.

He stretched out his right palm and swung out a high-density circulation.

Alex Nan found that he couldn't shape it into a 'hand' for the time being, so he simply trapped Old Charlie in the form of a 'loop' and dragged him outside.

Because the material of the prosthesis was not high-end, it was very heavy, making it very difficult for Alex Nan to drag it.

But he did not give up and worked very hard on it.

Because his 'gaseous perception' told him that this person could still vent his anger!

Since he is still alive, we must try our best to save him.

He struggled to drag Lao Mu to the door using the high-density gas circulation. Only after observing him closely did he find that Lao Mu's eye sockets were sunken and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth and ear holes.

I can’t tell what his complexion is like for now because he’s so dirty.

The radiation detector tested the man's body radiation level, and unsurprisingly, it was seriously above the standard.

So he said in the communication: "It's confirmed, it's radiation sickness, how to deal with it?"

The woman said, "See if his anti-radiation injection is still there."

Alex Nan already has that thing, five in total, which is the most important benefit of this job.

These five anti-radiation injections can be taken away even after you finish your work here. They can save your life at a critical moment.

As for Lao Mu’s anti-radiation injection?

Alex Nan looked around the messy room with a troubled look, and soon the auxiliary instrument helped him find a clue.

Three empty injection bottles, and one that had turned into a small pile of debris.

There was still one injection that Alex Nan hadn't found, but he saw a completely empty injection box.

He said: "I'm afraid he doesn't have any extra anti-radiation injections."

The woman hesitated and said, "What about yours?"

Alex Nan said: "I still have mine with me."

The woman said, "Now you can choose to use your own anti-radiation injection to save him. I will deduct the corresponding amount from his salary and transfer it to your account on the next payday."

"Or you can let him fend for himself. I will contact the consortium to send someone to clean up, and the work he is responsible for during this term will need to be shared between you and others."

The choice concerning a human life was placed in front of Alex Nan.

There is no doubt that Old Charlie is a bad person, and he may not even care that much about his own life.

By saving him, Alex Nan neither gained nor lost anything; it could be considered as cashing in an anti-radiation injection.

If he doesn't save him, he can take over Old Charlie's job and make some extra money.

The cheerful boy didn't hesitate at all and turned around and walked towards his hoverbike.

He chose to save people.

Because although he still lacks money, what he lacks more is time to practice and improve himself!

He doesn't have the time to waste on cleaning up Old Charlie's mess. It's actually not cost-effective for him.

Why is it that so many people at the bottom of society are unable to escape from their own level no matter how hard they struggle?

That's because they put all their energy into making money and therefore have no extra time to improve themselves.

Alex Nan understood this principle and naturally knew what to choose.

Well, a lingering conscience is also an important factor.
