Chapter 2 Picking up trash
Su Nian learned that this was a garbage planet, a corner forgotten by the entire interstellar society. Every day, countless garbage was transported here from various planets, and this planet seemed to have become a garbage can of the universe. And the people living here could only desperately look for a glimmer of hope for survival in this mountain of garbage.
Su Nian sat in a corner of the rescue station for a long time, feeling mixed emotions. Her bright eyes were now filled with confusion and helplessness. Finally, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly stood up, timidly walking towards the staff of the rescue station.
"Um... I want to go pick up junk with everyone, is that okay?" Su Nian's voice trembled a little, and his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.
The staff member looked up and looked her up and down, revealing a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He said, "Okay, but you have to be careful. This is not a joke. The world outside is not as simple as you think."
After getting permission, Su Nian followed a group of men to the interstellar energy vehicle parked outside the rescue station. The vehicle had a peculiar appearance, and its smooth lines seemed to blend into the surrounding starry sky. The body of the vehicle was shining with a mysterious light, which made Su Nian, who had never seen such a high-tech product, stare with wide eyes and was filled with amazement.
She stepped into the car carefully, and the layout inside the car made her feel even more strange. Various complex dashboards and buttons, as well as the energy core emitting soft light, everything seemed so strange and fascinating.
"Girl, this is the interstellar era of the year 5001. The energy car we are riding in is powered by the energy of cosmic rays, and it is very fast." A burly man with a stubble on his face saw Su Nian's curious look and introduced enthusiastically.
Su Nian nodded slightly, his eyes still full of curiosity and surprise.
The car started and instantly turned into a stream of light, speeding towards its destination.
Along the way, the men's eyes fell on Su Nian from time to time, and their eyes were full of eagerness and desire.
"Girl, you are so beautiful, it's a pity that you don't have mental power." A thin but shrewd man couldn't help but say.
"That's right. With a face like yours, if you had spiritual power, it would be something only the nobles of the First Planet could possess." Another man with a rough voice echoed.
"Even if I don't have spiritual power, being able to marry a wife like you is a blessing that I have accumulated over several lifetimes." Another man interrupted.
Su Nian felt a chill in her heart when she heard these words. She felt extremely uncomfortable. She subconsciously lowered her head, trying to avoid these burning gazes. After thinking for a moment, she quickly tore a piece of cloth from her tattered doll costume and covered her face.
Everyone sighed when they saw her action.
"Girl, why are you covering it up? It's a pity to hide such a beautiful face." said a man with a simple face.
"That's right, let's take a closer look." Someone else followed suit.
Su Nian covered her face tightly with the cloth and said firmly, "I don't want you to see it."
The car finally stopped and arrived at the destination which was full of garbage.
Everyone got out of the car, and someone from the rescue station walked up to Su Nian with a set of clothes.
"Put it on. This clothing can protect against radiation. There is radiation everywhere here. We must be careful."
Su Nian took the clothes and looked down at the original fabric on her body. The people at the rescue station showed a look of disgust and shook their heads and said, "Hey, what are you wearing? Wearing too much of this kind of fabric can be fatal. The radiation will invade your body little by little. Over time, even gods can't save you."
Su Nian was shocked when she heard this, and quickly put on the radiation protection suit. Although the suit was a bit heavy, it made her feel a little safe.
Everyone started to busy themselves in the garbage dump, and Su Nian followed suit. Although she tried to avoid the men's gazes, she could still feel that they were always paying attention to her.
"Girl, let me help you." A man said as he stretched out his hand to help Su Nian move a heavy piece of waste.
"Don't touch me, I can handle myself." Su Nian shouted nervously, with a hint of anger and fear in his voice.
The man was startled by her reaction and withdrew his hand awkwardly.
"Girl, don't be so fierce. We mean well." said another man.
Su Nian ignored them and continued to concentrate on searching for something that might be useful in the garbage dump.
Time passed minute by minute, and Su Nian's forehead was covered with sweat, but she did not dare to relax at all.
"When will this day end?" Su Nian thought to himself, "In this strange and dangerous world, I must work hard to survive and find a way to go back."
The men around her kept talking about various things, some trying to please her, some talking about the injustices and difficulties in the world.
Su Nian endured all this silently. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to rely on her own strength. In this interstellar era full of unknowns and dangers, she had to take every step bravely.
