Chapter 809: Condolences (Update 1)

There were many homeless people lying in the dim alley.

Long Qi ignored the homeless people and walked forward. Finally, he stopped at the door of a house and started knocking.

However, there was no response. Long Qi stepped back and observed carefully. There was no light in the window, so there should be no one.

"Let's go to the next house. They should not be at home."

"A lot of veterans live here?"

Su Bai asked subconsciously.

"This area is a resettlement area, specially arranged for disabled veterans."

Long Qi replied lightly. When they were resettled, Long Qi came to see it in person.

"Who are you looking for?"

At this time, a vigilant voice came from behind.

Su Bai and the others turned around and saw an old man with a vicissitudes of life on his face, missing one hand, and holding some synthetic bread in the other hand, staring at Su Bai and the others vigilantly.

Then the old man, after seeing Su Bai's appearance.

His originally vigilant eyes became very excited and he saluted immediately.

"Mr. Su Bai, the chairman of the council! Why are you here?"

Long Qi introduced Su Bai calmly.

"Wu Yue, captain of the third squad under the 12th Mobile Squadron, 36th Battalion, 18th Legion of the Star Alliance, lieutenant."

Su Bai also saluted back and said with a smile.

"Lieutenant Wu Yue, we are here to visit you."

Hearing Su Bai's words, Wu Yue's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mr. Chairman of the Council, you are so kind."

"It's nothing. This is what I should do. Can you invite us to sit inside for a while?"

"Please come in."

Wu Yue hurriedly walked up to open the door.

Soon, Su Bai and his friends walked into the house. The house was very narrow, with only a living room and a room, and there were not many furniture in the house.

Wu Yue looked around the house, trying to find something to entertain Su Bai, but there was nothing to entertain. He was a little overwhelmed for a while and said with some guilt.

"Mr. Chairman of the Council, I'm sorry, the conditions here are limited and there is nothing to entertain you."

"It's okay, and don't be so reserved. We just came to see you and want to chat with you by the way."

Su Bai found a place to sit down and said gently.

"Okay."

"How long have you been discharged?"

Su Bai asked.

"More than three years."

Wu Yue replied.

"I have a question for you. Your pension and rank allowance should be quite a lot. Why do you feel that life is so difficult?"

Su Bai just glanced at the bag in his hand, which was full of the lowest-grade synthetic bread.

"It's not very difficult. Compared with others, I am already very good. It's just that people get old and their bodies feel uncomfortable from time to time, so some of the money is used for medical treatment, and some is used to help the families of my dead brothers."

Wu Yue replied with a bit of depression.

Su Bai frowned slightly when he heard this, so he asked.

"Did the martyr's pension not come on time?"

"Yes, but if you don't have a high enough rank, there is not much pension at all, and the monthly subsidy is actually not much. In addition, in recent years, the funding of the Star Alliance has been very tight, and there are often delays."

Wu Yue didn't have anything to hide, so he told Su Bai very straightforwardly.

"I understand."

Su Bai calmed down and replied.

After chatting for a while, Su Bai stood up and said goodbye.

"We still have to inspect other areas and leave first. If you have any needs or troubles, you can find a special agency of the Star Alliance."

"I understand, I'll see you off, Speaker of the Council."

Wu Yue hurriedly stood up to see him off.

Su Bai glanced at Bai Lan when he left.

Bai Lan understood and walked at the end. Before leaving, he left an envelope.

After saying goodbye to Wu Yue, Su Bai and his friends visited several more families one after another.

Basically, the situation was similar.

Then Su Bai and his friends took a flying car to Haige City.

In the flying car, Bai Lan said to Su Bai.

"The legion of the Kimik Empire has always been one of the main forces of the Star Alliance. Basically, they are indispensable in every war, so they have the most casualties."

"I know."

Su Bai nodded slightly.

"In addition, Haige City is far away from us. Speaker of the Council, you can take a rest. I'll call you when you get there."

"Okay."

Su Bai nodded slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep not long after. In fact, Su Bai was really tired today.

It's not physical fatigue, but more mental fatigue.

Bai Lan looked at Su Bai who was sleeping soundly, picked up a blanket from the side, and gently covered Su Bai.

The next morning, Su Bai heard a soft call and slowly opened his eyes.

"Are we there?"

"We are here, Speaker of the Council."

Bai Lan said to Su Bai.

"Let's go."

Su Bai got up and got out of the car quickly.

"Do you want to eat something first?"

Bai Lan asked hurriedly.

"No, I don't have much appetite, let's go visit first."

Su Bai said simply and neatly.

A moment later, under the leadership of Long Qi, Su Bai and his group came to the west district of Haige City.

This densely populated area is full of sewage.

There are children running around with bare chests everywhere.

You can see many old people and women, their eyes are full of numbness and fatigue, as if they have lost their vitality. Only when their eyes fall on those children will there be a hint of color fluctuation.

And they are also dressed very shabby and their bodies are thin.

In addition, there are few young and strong men here.

"Basically two out of every three families here are soldiers. Most of them have died in the long years of war."

Long Qi introduced to Su Bai.

Su Bai stood there and looked at it, his expression becoming more and more silent.

The national strength of the Kimik Empire is the top of the Star Alliance, and the Kimik Empire also attaches the most importance to soldiers. The families of the martyrs and soldiers who died here basically receive double subsidies. Even here, Su Bai dare not imagine those small countries.

"You don't have to go, I'll go there by myself."

Su Bai said to Long Qi and others.

Too many people went there, and they were just sympathizing with each other, but they were actually picking up other people's scars.

"Okay."

Long Qi replied very straightforwardly.

Su Bai walked over with heavy steps.

Bai Lan and others stood there and looked at it. When they saw Su Bai walk in, they chatted with the old men and women.

It didn't take long for the whole area to become restless, and all surrounded Su Bai.

Long Qi frowned slightly. It was obvious that Su Bai must have been recognized. She was about to take people over to prevent accidents.

At this time, Bai Lan stopped Long Qi.

"It's okay. They have no ill will towards Lord Su Bai, and Lord Su Bai doesn't need protection."

"Okay."

Long Qi's expression changed for a while, and finally answered.

In the crowd, a woman cried.

"Mr. Chairman of the Parliament, we are not greedy, but we are really suffering. Our husbands and fathers have sacrificed. Our only hope now is to raise children, but the subsidies from the Star Alliance have not come for a long time."

"Yes, we rely on these meager subsidies to survive. We also want to find a job, but we can't find one at all."
