Chapter 172 The Garbage Man's Indifference
The two of them walked aside and found a seat away from the crowd.
Liu Cheng did not continue the dissection after extracting top-quality star core fragments from several third-level alien creatures that Augustine selected with his Eye of Luck ability.
First, if he continues to dissect and practice, although his skills as a garbage man will be improved, it will delay the team's progress.
They were rushing to support other troops who sent out distress signals, not just for fun.
Second, the corpses of other alien creatures were collected and dissected by twenty employees, without him having to do it himself.
Liu Cheng finally enjoyed the feeling of just fighting against monsters and having an NPC behind him to help him pick up gold coins exploded by monsters.
After giving priority to the tissues and organs with high medicinal and scientific research value, the twenty garbage man employees also returned to the spacecraft early to store the sealed cans.
They don't have to clean up all the tissues and organs of alien creatures.
That way the income is not high, not even enough to offset their daily wages, and it also wastes time.
The whole unit set off again and continued to move towards the point where the distress signal was sent.
Only this time, the first battalion commander had shut his mouth and stopped protesting.
Even the Marines driving the suspended armored vehicle no longer feel that pulling this medium-sized spacecraft forward is a thankless task.
Liu Cheng and the others didn't go far when they encountered several more waves of attacks from alien creatures.
These alien creatures were the same as the first wave of attacking creatures. Although they were no match for Liu Cheng's fighting strength, they still fought until the end and did not retreat until the alien creatures fell.
"The behavior of these alien creatures is very abnormal, just like soldiers who have received orders to desperately intercept the enemy."
Fu Yan came to Liu Cheng and others and said strangely.
Tian Tiantian on the side replied:
“Indeed, but it’s not a bad thing for us.
At least it shows that the troops who sent out the distress signal are still under siege and have not been completely wiped out.
Therefore, the alien creatures will find ways to divide their forces to block our progress. "
Hearing this, Liu Cheng and the commander of the Marine Corps, who were sitting in the same car, agreed with Tian Tiantian's analysis.
The group leader looked at Tian Tiantian and thought highly of him, thinking:
"This little girl from the special operations force is not simple.
She is quite beautiful and has strong supernatural powers. I didn't expect her mind to be so smart.
Is this Wolf Warriors team really the weakest squad under Platoon Leader Ji?
Why do I feel that they are the strongest team? "
Afterwards, they encountered several battles again.
And the closer you get to the target location, the more powerful the alien creatures you encounter become.
This time, a Marine was scratched by the claws of a close alien creature during the battle, and even the armor and flesh on his chest were torn off by the claws.
Alice saved her life by using her healing powers.
The key is that Liu Cheng could see clearly during the battle that when the Marine was injured by the alien creature, several garbage men from his company were not far away from the injured Marine.
These people could have taken action and easily killed the alien creature that rushed towards them.
But they chose to avoid it and allowed the alien creatures to rush through the defense line, leaving the Marine soldiers without supernatural abilities exposed to the attack range of the alien creatures.
It seems as if the Marines are not fighting alien creatures, but performing a reality show on the stage.
Put the wounded man on a stretcher and put him on the suspended personnel carrier.
Liu Cheng angrily walked towards the employees who had been watching the show before, grabbed one of them by the collar and said:
“What the hell were you doing?!
Even if you don't help to resist other alien creatures, you actually let the alien creatures that were originally charging towards you go past? ! "
The garbage man employee who was grabbed by the collar had a look of disdain on his face, waved away Liu Cheng's hand and said:
"Butcher boss, we are just your employees.
I am paid to help you collect the corpses of alien creatures, but I am not paid to fight alien creatures on military pay like you.
If you die in battle, the military government will pay pensions to your family members, and you will also be awarded the title of hero.
Even if we die in battle, we will get nothing. We will be criticized behind our backs for going to the front lines and hindering your army. Even if we die, we will be scorned by others.
If that's the case, why should I save him?
Besides, the team member was only slightly injured, but he wasn't dead yet? "
Liu Cheng was so angry at the other party's extremely contemptuous attitude that he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"Just a little bit seriously injured??
If there happened to be a healing power user in my team, that Marine would have died, you know!
Didn't that Marine fight against alien creatures to protect all mankind?
Didn't that Marine cherish his life?
He also has a family. He is the son of an old couple, the husband of a wife, and the father of a certain child.
You are so indifferent to his life and allow him to fend for himself in the face of danger. When you meet his family, do you have the face to face it? ! ! "
Liu Cheng's tone was full of indignation, which could be said to speak to the heart of every Marine soldier.
The hundreds of Marines present all looked towards him upon hearing this, and they were also indignant at the cold and indifferent attitude of these Junkman Psychics.
Seeing their boss like this, several other Junkman employees also came over and persuaded him:
"Butcher Boss, don't be angry. You can't blame these people for not taking action before.
Butcher Boss, you are a soldier, and you naturally stand on the position and perspective of a soldier when looking at things.
But have you ever thought about what makes us Junkmen indifferent to the Marines who are also human compatriots?
We Junkmen risk our lives to collect tissues and organs of alien creatures with medicinal and scientific research value on the front battlefield.
We are also contributing to the development of all mankind, and we are also working hard to support our families at the cost of our own lives.
But what kind of treatment have we received?
In the eyes of the people, all soldiers in the army have become The heroes who defended them, 90% of the glory of anything related to alien creatures belonged to them.
The remaining 10% was the turn of scientists, pharmacists, logistics and other social departments.
And what about us garbage men?
We became the rats crossing the street in the eyes of the world, snatching the bodies of alien creatures that the soldiers had worked hard to kill, the hateful thieves!
It’s okay to be looked down upon by the world, but how do the soldiers of the army treat us?
When they saw us on the alien battlefield, they insulted us and gave us the cold shoulder.
What’s more, when they saw us garbage men passing by, they would shoot two shots at our feet in front of us, scare and insult us!
Let me ask the butcher boss, if you don’t have a military background and are treated like this every day, will your heart become more and more indifferent? "
