Gu Yunzhou said, "It's not you. This is just the norm on Garbage Planet. People without ability can only eke out a living. This is the only rule on Garbage Planet."
Bang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man raised a gun and fired it into the air, then smiled and aimed the gun at the man again.
The man under the gun trembled, and the man standing next to him closed his eyes, not daring to plead for mercy.
Ji Zhaoming's pupils contracted.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Are you going to kill him? But he... but he clearly didn't do anything."
"Bad luck." Gu Yunzhou rested one hand on his face, casually looking down, and explained, "I just had bad luck running into people."
At school, Ji Zhaoming mainly focused on physical training. The few moves he could still learn were taught to him by Gu Yunzhou from the last world. He definitely couldn't fight Mu Cang head-on.
But Ji Zhaoming could not bear to see an innocent life disappear before his eyes.
I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.
He looked around at the surroundings.
Fortunately, this is a residential area on a garbage planet, with streets that are interconnected and winding, and even several side streets to walk on.
Ji Zhaoming said, "I'm going to save him."
Gu Yunzhou glanced at Ji Zhaoming's legs and arms, then grabbed him, saying, "You can't save him."
He pointed down: "There are hundreds of thousands of people on this garbage planet. Even if you can save one, you can't save them all. Besides, they have weapons. Going up there like this will only get you killed."
Everything he said made sense.
However, people are sometimes unreasonable, like Ji Zhaoming at this moment.
He said in a deep voice, "But he suffered because of me, so I must save him. Besides, I might not die either. I've seen this road before."
He ran his hand along several connected paths one by one: "I've checked. If I run like this, I can run away."
The paths are intricate and complex, so much so that even from a high vantage point, one can be overwhelmed by their intricate network.
Fortunately, Ji Zhaoming has a good memory and sense of direction.
Gu Yunzhou paused for a moment.
Ji Zhaoming's intelligence far exceeded his imagination. If he followed Ji Zhaoming's plan, it might actually be possible to save the other party without sacrificing his own life.
He doesn't seem to have the right to stop it.
Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyes: "You are very capable, but do you know that everyone who comes to the garbage planet prepares for their own death on the very first day?"
The atmosphere below grew increasingly tense, and Ji Zhaoming could even hear the cries of children.
Seemingly sensing this atmosphere, the tension between Gu Yunzhou and Ji Zhaoming also became palpable.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Is this the law of survival in this world?"
Gu Yunzhou: "It's just a garbage planet."
This made Ji Zhaoming even more confused.
Perhaps the garbage planet is some kind of magical planet, independent of the rest of the world, and therefore has a set of rules that only garbage planets have.
Ji Zhaoming is not a great benefactor. This can be seen from the fact that in the previous world, the machine race was allowed to do certain things, and robots were given priority as the standard.
Ji Zhaoming didn't consider himself a hero and incapable of changing the rules.
But since this law doesn't exist elsewhere, it means this world isn't as bad as Ji Zhaoming imagined.
However, the evil of this world is fully displayed on the garbage planet.
Ji Zhaoming couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "Because this is an abandoned planet."
Ji Zhaoming looked at Gu Yunzhou: "But the city lord is still here, isn't he?"
Gu Yunzhou chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I'm someone who's been abandoned too, so how could I possibly save a garbage planet?"
Ji Zhaoming finally realized that Gu Yunzhou in this world was different.
It's like a person who has lost all their soul, leaving only a shell walking around. They have no dreams, no beliefs, and nothing they want to do.
Gu Yunzhou was simply existing.
Therefore, he remained indifferent to the deaths of his people before his eyes.
He had lost all hope in this world.
“But I want to give it a try,” Ji Zhaoming said firmly.
Without waiting for Gu Yunzhou's reply, he jumped out of another window, nimbly weaving between several tents before landing safely.
Just as Gu Yunzhou said, you can save one life, but you can't save the entire garbage planet.
However, Ji Zhaoming's goal was never the entire garbage planet.
He simply didn't want innocent people to lose their lives because of him.
We cannot reveal our stance to the bald guy's group, otherwise they will continue to cause trouble for Garbage Star and eventually use it as bait to force Ji Zhaoming to appear.
While making plans in his mind, he ran towards the bald man's direction.
As I sped up, I suddenly heard a thud from the side.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Hmm? What brings you here?"
Gu Yunzhou had just finished showering; his body was still damp and steaming hot.
He maintained his bored expression, took out a hat from behind him, and casually draped it over Ji Zhaoming's head, obscuring half of Ji Zhaoming's face.
He then put his hands in his pockets and said, "I will obey my master's orders."
He stood up straight and was much taller than Ji Zhaoming.
Well, if everyone in the last world was a robot, that would be understandable. But in this world, everyone is an ordinary person, so why is everyone still taller than him?
Ji Zhaoming said, "After we get there, we absolutely cannot let anyone know that we went there specifically to rescue him. Wait, do they know you too?"
If Gu Yunzhou were dragged to walk in front of the bald man, Ji Zhaoming might be out of trouble, but the residents of this garbage planet would suffer.
Most importantly, Gu Yunzhou has no intention of taking on the responsibilities of the city lord for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Zhaoming reached out and took off his hat, intending to give it to Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou grabbed Ji Zhaoming's hand and said, "Don't show it."
"What?" Ji Zhaoming said, puzzled. "Don't let them see your face, or they'll definitely recognize you."
Gu Yunzhou pressed one hand on Ji Zhaoming's head and touched Ji Zhaoming's face with the other.
His hands still bore calluses from years of exercise, giving them a slightly rough feel.
Ji Zhaoming wrinkled his nose: "It itches."
Gu Yunzhou smiled, reached behind him and pulled up his hood to cover his face.
His master is so handsome, how could a bunch of scoundrels possibly have the right to look at him?
The two quickly ran towards their destination. Ji Zhaoming asked, "What was the situation like over there when you came down?"
The absence of gunfire indicates that things haven't reached the worst point Ji Zhaoming imagined.
Gu Yunzhou said, "There's still time."
As they drew closer, a hand suddenly emerged from the manhole cover and grabbed Ji Zhaoming's ankle.
Caught off guard, Ji Zhaoming almost tripped and fell.
enemy?
Just as Ji Zhaoming was about to make a move, he caught a glimpse of an arm thinner than his foot out of the corner of his eye.
The manhole cover was lifted, and a malnourished boy emerged from it. His hands were almost all bones, but he still clung tightly to Ji Zhaoming.
The boy said, "Where are you running to? Don't you want to die?"
The situation was urgent, and Ji Zhaoming didn't have time to explain. He simply said, "Don't worry, we know what we're doing."
However, the boy looked extremely thin, but his skills were not weak. He quickly blocked Ji Zhaoming's path and said seriously, "No, you can't go."
Ji Zhaoming dodged the boy's hand and spoke quickly: "We're going to rescue people, it'll be too late if we're any later."
The boy refused to back down: "I've never seen you before, you just arrived, right? Then I'm even less likely to let you go."
Just as his hand was about to grab Ji Zhaoming, Gu Yunzhou suddenly reached out, grabbed the boy's arm, and yanked him back hard.
Gu Yunzhou's eyes hardened: "Don't touch him."
It was as if the dragon had been touched on its most precious taboo, arching its back, ready to swallow the attacker at any moment.
The boy grew up on a garbage planet and knew best who to mess with and who not to mess with. Even though he couldn't see Gu Yunzhou's expression, he knew that Gu Yunzhou was currently in a state of rage.
That was the wind before a storm, howling as if it would swallow the sea.
This person, and the person standing next to him in the light, seem to be from completely different worlds.
How could two people like that be partners?
The boy remained calm and retorted, "Stay away from him."

Chapter 34
"Would you like to come back to the castle with me?"
Seeing the invisible glint of swords and bloodshed between the two, Ji Zhaoming quickly reminded them, "Gu... Gu Yunzhou."
Ji Zhaoming wasn't sure if ordinary people knew their city lord's name, but just in case, he still kept Gu Yunzhou's name low, so as not to frighten the young man in front of him.
Saving lives is the priority; there's no time to dawdle here.
The boy looked at the two people in front of him with a strange expression.
The ferocious beasts that were once locked in a life-or-death struggle seemed to have voluntarily entered the cage and handed over their shackles.
And this name...
