The function is similar to that of a mobile phone, and the usage will naturally not be much different.

There is no need to sit down and listen to the teller's instructions. With the accompanying manual, and Lilima, who is a local, giving pointers and supplements, Shi Xiaolei feels that it is enough for him to learn how to use these communicators.

"Where are you going next?" After leaving the shopping mall, Shi Xiaolei stopped, turned around and looked at Danyang and Qiao Qian, who had been walking beside him and said nothing, "The business is done. If you have any place you want to go, now is the time." It's still early, so it's not impossible to go around."

"Hmm." After pondering for a moment, Danyang shook his head in confusion: "I don't have any ideas, just do whatever you want."

"What about you?" After touching the little girl's head, Shi Xiaolei looked at the other: "Qiao Qian, what do you say?"

"If possible, I would like to go to the vegetable market." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, Qiao Qian replied with some expectation: "Before I came out, the sisters specially reminded me to go there if I have time."

"So, are you going to try to use the ingredients on this planet to make some dishes?"

"Well, as you said, master, there are many ingredients imported from various planets here, and many of them are very suitable for human beings. Everyone is looking forward to it and wants to try it." Having said that, Josie continued Embarrassedly smiled: "Also, I also want to go to the market to see if there are any vegetables with seeds. If there are, I want to buy some to take back and try to see if I can grow them."

"Okay, let's go to the vegetable market." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei turned to look at Lilima: "Dear tour guide, it's time for you to play. Do you know where there is a vegetable market?"

"Of course." Lilima patted her chest and smiled confidently: "There is one nearby. I often go there, and I know it well."

"It's not far, can we go there?"

"Hmm... If you walk, it will probably take you a meal. If you can, it's best to take a shuttle."

"I understand, come with me." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei took a step and took the lead towards the 'parking lot' at the corner of the square.

I will not describe in detail the matter of turning to the vegetable market to purchase in the middle.

In short, under the guidance and recommendation of Lilima, Shi Xiaolei and others once again opened their eyes and saw many kinds of ingredients that they had never seen before.

Among them, about one-fifth of the species are similar to some kind of animal or plant on the earth. But more, it is still strange in shape, something that would be considered strange by human aesthetics and habits.

For example, some kind of plant roots that look like rocks, but are used to roast and eat.

For example, some kind of beast with metallic luster and lines that look a bit like fish, but is classified as a land creature.

Another example is that there is a circle of fangs and sharp teeth growing in the center of something. After cutting it, you can see the muscle fiber lines. No matter how you look at it, it should be classified as an animal, but it is actually a flower of a plant...

If you saw these strange things in other places, maybe it’s nothing, but because you saw them in the vegetable market that sells ingredients... When you think of these weird things as food, imagine the scene when you eat them, don’t say Shi Xiaolei, Danyang, and Qiao Qian were gone, even Coulson, who had received special training for his mental toughness, couldn't help but his San value plummeted, showing disgust and resistance in his eyes.

As a result, after shopping around, they didn't buy anything except the ones Josie planned to use for planting experiments.

"It's really boring. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have come."

"It's not in vain, at least we figured out one thing." Shi Xiaolei pinched Danyang's small face, and smiled: "When it comes to food, our own is better, isn't it?"

"That's right." Recalling the scene of himself helping to dig potatoes together, Danyang also laughed, with a bit of complacency and pride on his small face.

"Let's go, I'm going back. I've been out for so long, I'm a little hungry. Calculate the time, they may be preparing dinner..." Shi Xiaolei took the lead and walked to the front again: "It's just in time for dinner, so happy, haha."

"Uh-huh."

It was still the same as when it came, Shi Xiaolei was in charge of driving, and Coulson took the passenger seat.

The difference is that there is an extra Lilima in the back row.

"Huh?" Not long after takeoff, Lilima let out a small cry.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Locke, did you change your place this time?" Looking outside through the porthole, Lilima blinked in surprise: "This direction... the hotel you stayed in last time is not going this way."

"Didn't I say that?" Shi Xiaolei smiled: "This time I rented a bigger place in the suburbs. There are a lot of people coming, so it's not convenient to live in the city. Besides, the house I stayed in last time There may not be enough rooms in the hotel for all my companions to stay."

The first half of the sentence is nothing, the second half...

After estimating the size of the last hotel in her mind, Lilima couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Can't you fit in? Mr. Locke, how many people have you come this time?"

"A few hundred. What's the matter?"

"..." Hearing this, Lilima was completely stunned.

It wasn't until a while later that she asked a little awkwardly: "Do you need me to contact some tour guides for you? If your companions also want to go out and need someone to accompany you, I may... no, I must be busy. Don't come here."

"The receptionist who rented my house left me a pamphlet, saying that if you need a tour guide, you can use the communicator in the house to contact him directly." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei continued: "But if you have more Good candidates, and I don't mind letting you introduce a few people. How about it, do you know any suitable people? I mean, those who work hard and have professional abilities above the standard."

"I know four...three."

"Three? I heard, you originally wanted to say four, right? Why did you lose one more?" Anyway, Shi Xiaolei asked casually when he was free.

"Because... some things happened recently, and my friend's identity is more sensitive." After finishing this sentence, I felt that it was a bit too condescending, and it seemed inappropriate. Lilima paused, and explained in more detail: "You may have heard of it. Recently, the Cree people seem to be making some small moves. In order to guard against the Cree people, the adults of the Nova Corps have stepped up their vigilance. A lot of management regulations that were not normally used were activated.”

"That friend of mine is actually very kind, and she is a good person. However, because she was once captured by the Cree for experiments, her body has undergone some changes, so whenever this happens, she will always I was implicated." Lilima sighed in a depressed mood: "Just four days ago, she was stopped by patrolling guards again, and she was almost caught as a spy and locked up in Kelin prison. .”

Stopped by patrolling guards?

Hearing this sentence, Shi Xiaolei immediately remembered the scene when he was undergoing a temporary inspection half a day ago.

Comparing with what happened to Lilima, his friend, he couldn't help but think of Jia Ying and others who were still waiting for news in the ark.

"Then how did she escape?" With some thoughts in his mind, Shi Xiaolei asked calmly following the thread of the conversation.

"It's still the same. The guards put a neck ring on her for monitoring." Lilima sighed again: "Although that thing won't restrict her movement, in my friend's heart, it still feels very uncomfortable. Comfortable. To tell you the truth, this is the third time she has encountered this kind of thing. Just the day before yesterday, she told me that she wanted to leave Xandar and live elsewhere."

"A neck ring for surveillance?" Reminiscent of the electronic shackles specially equipped for surveillance objects seen in the United States, Shi Xiaolei asked casually: "The kind worn by prisoners?"

"Prisoner?" Lilima blinked puzzledly: "Prisoners don't need to wear that. I have received a guest who has worked in Kelin Prison for many years, and he talked to me about some things in the prison."

"...uh." Only then did Shi Xiaolei realize that the rules used on Xandar may be different from those on Earth: "I mean ~lightnovelpub.net~ In some places I have been to, I have seen prisoners wearing similar clothes. thing."

"oh."

"If I were your friend, I would feel very uncomfortable. I have not made any mistakes, but I have to be monitored, ha ha." Shi Xiaolei smiled sarcastically: "Is there no other way? With Xandar's technological level, it should It's not hard to do, is it?"

"There is another way." Lilima nodded: "I heard that it is necessary to inject some kind of medicine, I am not very clear."

"Potion?"

"Hmm. Some people call it an antidote, while others say it's a poison. I've heard that it seems to say that after injecting that kind of medicine, it can erase all the achievements of the Cree's experiments."

For those who don't want to have supernatural powers, or who have become inhuman due to experimental transformation, injecting medicine to erase the experimental results and return to ordinary daily life may be what they are looking forward to.

From this point of view, it is quite appropriate to say that it is an antidote.

Conversely, if they are unwilling to give up their abilities, or don't care about the changes in appearance and prefer to keep other abilities brought about by experimental transformation, for those people, this potion will definitely be strongly resisted.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is poison.

"It sounds a bit intrusive. Instead of injecting medicine into the body, it seems safer to wear a neck ring." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei asked again: "By the way, did someone ask for the injection? I mean , there should be some guys, because they really want to settle down on Xandar for a long time, and then, in order to avoid what happened to your friend, they took the initiative to ask for injections, hoping to get it done once and avoid future troubles. Right?"

"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, Lilima shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, I don't know."
