Milky Way - Mars, Southern Highlands

The Hourglass Sea is located here.

In the yellow-red boundless Gobi, the light blue protective film is like a drop of water, cool and round.

Inside the water droplets is a small and delicate microcosm of the city, with neon lights occupying seventy percent, and the other thirty percent, a light blue man-made ocean.

Hourglass Sea City, one of the most famous holiday attractions on Mars, is visited by tens of millions of tourists every year.

After hundreds of years of federal propaganda and the persistent propaganda of capitalists, the beaches of Mars have become a place known to every citizen, just like the federal finance department.

The Hourglass Sea covers an area of 15,000 square kilometers. It is home to 13 million citizens and an average of 10 million tourists. In addition, the ocean occupies 30%, so that the per capita area here is at the bottom of the federation all year round.

Dense high-rise hotels rise from the ground, mixing and matching styles, where there are no buildings below 100 floors, passages are erected between buildings, and various advertisements are played on screens on the walls. Countless shopping streets, bars and dance halls are scattered in the narrow gaps, with neon lights flashing, and hovercars and hoverrail trains pass between the buildings.

The dimly lit alleys above ground are always filled with graffiti and a smoky bunch of Beatles, and vomit left behind by some drunk.

The Hourglass Sea is a city that never sleeps.

Those who like it will find it with the bluest waters and white sandy beaches, as well as the most welcoming people. Those who hate it see that it is rife with crime, chaos, crowding, and gambling and drugs.

Only the more than ten kilometers long commercial street along the coast was an accident.

Although there are more tourists on the beach and the shopping street, the combination of the two- to three-story buildings and the coast, a few dozen meters away from the commercial street, only makes people feel open and welcoming.

Outside the Martian atmosphere, in low-Earth orbit. A spaceship painted with the logo of the Federal Department of Security is approaching the Southern Highlands.

In the rest cabin, Mu Su looked gloomy and took off the game mask No. 2.

Those three bastards actually turned down their friend requests again!

It's been four days since the last dungeon ended, and during those four days, Mu Su would add them as friends every once in a while. It's a pity that all of them were rejected, only the ghost dance passed through the wind at the beginning, and then thought of something and deleted Mu Su.

For their sake, Mu Su brought the game mask No. 1 over!

Thinking of this, the angry Mu Su put on a mask again and continued to add friends.

The next two hours were spent in Mu Su's repeated friend additions.

Outside the porthole, the spacecraft began to enter the atmosphere. A few minutes later, it smoothly penetrated the atmosphere, revealing the fiery red desolate Gobi in the southern highlands.

A few droplets of water were distributed in this fiery red neighborhood, adding a touch of desolation to the heat. The spaceship descended in vain and fell into the Hourglass Sea area.

The Hourglass Sea and Air Port is located on the edge of the water droplets, the farthest point from the coast.

The ship landed at a government port, and the accompanying agents went to the rest module to inform Makisu that they had arrived.

The head of the Mars division of the Federal Ministry of Security was also on the spacecraft. He and his assistant then rushed to send Mu Su, who was holding a mask in his arms and his dead fish eyes were about to be open, off the spaceship.

Seeing Mu Su walk into the safe passage, the two quickly returned to the control room.

As the assistant operates on the console, the screen shows the scene in the hovercar. A few minutes later, the door opened, and Mu Su got into the car.

The hovercar slowly rose, and the neon lights outside the window swept by, taking Musu to the coastal commercial street.

"I still don't understand, is this a bit too risky......?" In the control room, the assistant looked up at the minister's side face.

The minister, who was about to lose his hair before the appointment, and did not want to admit it, and combed his hair forward, replied: "Your Excellency wants him to be more active, at least to show more often in front of these alien creatures." ”

"Why? Shouldn't we be trying to protect him? Although he had consulted the relevant information of Musu in the internal system, the assistant still did not understand the meaning.

"Probably for other civilizations. Recently, the movement of foreign civilizations has become bigger and bigger, and after so many generations, the original memories are almost gone. His Excellency the President is also worried about these things, and three years ago his hair was still black. ”

Probably because of the lack of hair, this branch head is particularly obsessed with hair. Then his expression froze, and he coughed lightly and said, "Eh, did I accidentally talk too much?" ”

The assistant reluctantly took out his blue-edged ID and showed him: "I have enough authority to know this, Mr. Minister." So we asked Mu Su to come back, is it for them? ”

"It's more of a deterrent."

"Deterrence?"

The head of the branch exhaled lightly: "Don't underestimate this grave keeper, with him, no civilization can dictate to human beings." ”

The assistant's face was shocked, and he looked up at the scene in the hovering car in a daze.

Mu Su clasped his nose with his index finger at this time, dug for a while, picked up the boogers, looked left and right, hummed the song and pretended to wipe the boogers on the camera without care.

……

Ten minutes later, the hovercar landed on the edge of the beach parking area.

The staff turned around and said, "We're here, do you see that white trash can?" ”

Mu Su was shocked: "That's the Martian princess!?" It's obviously an armored warrior in the photo, why has it shrunk again! Are you the Ministry of Security or the Ministry of Cosmetics! ”

The staff stopped talking and said with difficulty: "No...... I mean you wait there, and our agents will tell you the details later. ”

"Hey, don't say it sooner." Mu Su pouted and got out of the car.

With your feet on the ground, the sea breeze blows your black hair.

Makisu squinted at the shore, the white sand and the blue sea, and the sound of laughter and laughter came from the beach.

Mu Su walked to the trash can, lay on the guardrail by the coast, took a deep breath, his eyes gradually drifted, and looked around at the swimsuit beauty.

Happy times are always short-lived. A figure walked up to Mu Su's side, propped up on the guardrail like Mu Su.

"Hello Mr. Mu Su, I'm an agent of the Federal Department of Security." Accompanied by a beautiful female voice is the smell of perfume wafting in the sea breeze.

Mu Su stopped looking around, and turned sideways with a light appearance.

It was a tall, bumpy blonde girl in a swimsuit with an olive tree pattern. The sunglasses were framed on the forehead, and the swimsuit was hard to wrap around the chest.

Mu Su brushed back his black hair and showed a sunny smile: "Hello, can I invite you to a glass of wine?" ”

* Hourglass Sea City: Founded in 2181 in the Hourglass Sea in the southern highlands of Mars, it was originally planned as a vacation attraction, transforming a low-altitude valley into an ocean.

*The Federation originally planned to transform Mars into a habitable planet, but it was put on hold after the Solar Ring Project was proposed and realized.

* In 2203 and 2215, the federal government proposed two proposed plans, but the federal citizens opposed them and shelved them again.

*Some media outlets later published details, but the root cause of the shelving was opposition from Martian merchants and municipalities, who believed that it would reduce the revenue and taxes of tourist attractions.
