3. The big guy can't bully the newcomer
"Is it just a tool?" Antong asked in a low voice, "But I remember that they have been protecting us. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You are the ones who protect us." Ji Chao gently patted An Tong's shoulder, his first impression of this young man was very good, and he didn't mind chatting with him a few more words, "They are your spears and sharp blades, and what we want to praise and admire are the warriors who held these sharp blades and shed blood and sacrificed for us." ”
This is a widely circulated line, from the mouth of a certain high-ranking military officer, and for a period of time it was widely spread in the admiral's circle, which played a great role in calming and encouraging the admiral's mood.
However, the effect on An Tong did not seem to be good, and his reaction was still calm, and his attention returned to the dock, not as enthusiastic as the other young admirals.
What Ji Chao didn't know was that An Tong used to be a mixed government agency...
Then, the construction of the ship's mother was completed, the hatch of the dock slowly opened, and An Tong's breathing gradually became heavier, and his face began to show a slightly complicated expression, with excitement, expectation, and a trace of worry. Although An Tong has always maintained a calm and introverted temperament, at this most critical moment, he still exposed some normal emotions.
Higra, who had a perfect appearance, walked out of the dock, and the holiness and beauty of this shipwreck amazed Ji Chao, an engineer who was used to seeing a shipwive.
Then Higra seemed to say something through the isolation layer, Ji Chao didn't hear it, but An Tong seemed to hear something, and his body vibrate.
Ji Chao was sure that if it weren't for the fact that this young admiral had a calm state of mind that ordinary people couldn't reach, he would probably make some exaggerated moves at that moment.
However, this gave Ji Chao some bad premonitions...
His hunch was very accurate, and then the matching program was wrong, and Higra could not match the ship's equipment, and was recognized by the system as E-class, and the system recommended that the destruction procedure be carried out immediately to recover the resources.
The probability of this kind of thing happening is not too low, but as long as this scrap is destroyed in accordance with the regulations, An Tong can reapply for a new ship.
However, An Tong refused without hesitation.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't do that." An Tong replied categorically.
"Why? It's just a tool! Put away your ridiculous sympathy, precious resources aren't for you to be dolls. Ji Chao was a little angry, and almost said with a roar.
His voice attracted a number of onlookers, and the do-gooders quickly understood what was happening when they saw the flashing red warning of the light curtain.
"What's wrong? Someone is sick again? ”
"Hey, newcomer, you don't know how important the first ship is, do you? Let's do it again! ”
"But this ship's mother is really beautiful... However, it's not an egg, it's beautiful, and it can't be eaten as a meal. ”
Everyone's words seemed to make An Tong shake a little, he was silent, as if thinking about something.
Indeed, as the onlookers said, the Admiral's first ship lady is very important, and An Tong actually understands this truth psychologically, but he still can't make that cruel decision in his heart.
Not because Higra is beautiful enough, but because of her words:
"I'll take you home."
This is the first time An Tong has felt warmth in this world, but now he wants him to snuff out this warmth with his own hands?
"Why are you so stubborn? Alas..."Ji Chao next to him asked with a sigh.
"Because I think she's like a human being, it's unfair to treat them like this, they are born and die, protecting us sitting in the back, and they deserve respect and protection." An Tong raised his head, looked at the crowd of onlookers around him, and said confidently.
The crowd immediately resounded with a burst of gossip, and among them, an arrogant voice was particularly eye-catching.
"Respect? Do you want us to put the respect we should have on a prop? In your eyes, are people and props equal? Sitting in the back? Do you describe the Admiral as a coward and a coward? It's all the ship's mother protecting us, isn't it? ”
People turned their eyes to the owner of the voice, it was a young man of the yellow race, wearing a crisp military uniform, carrying the captain's epaulette, and a pair of triangular eyes like poisonous snakes, which were full of viciousness and empty eyes.
"It's Meng Shao!"
"Why does Meng Shao have time to come to the dock today?"
"I heard that Meng Shao has completed another difficult task! worthy of our star of hope in Africa..."
A series of flattering sycophants instantly replaced the ridicule of An Tong, but the young man known as Meng Shao was unmoved, and he didn't even look at anyone, but the pair of triangular eyes stared at An Tong and said:
"Do you know how many resources will be encroached upon by keeping a waste ship? You are a betrayal of humanity! It's because there are too many people like you that we humans can't usher in the final victory! ”
"I think people like you should be sent to a hard labor camp and a soap factory, you make me sick."
At this time, the onlookers also made a noise, and they sprayed around An Tong.
"Meng Shao is right! People like you are traitors! ”
"Garbage encroaching on collective resources!"
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!"
An Tong, who was overwhelmed by the noise, was also a little shaken in his heart, he looked back again, although it was separated by a thick layer of isolation, but Higra obviously understood what was about to happen, she seemed to read his thoughts, knew his situation, so her red eyes shook at An Tong with a sense of relief.
This is not telling An Tong not to give up on her, but to say to him: It's okay.
This scene made An Tong completely firm up his inner thoughts, he raised his head and looked directly at Meng Shao, who was taking the lead, without the slightest hesitation or retreat in his eyes.
"She hadn't even made it out of the dock, so why should she assert that she was a piece of waste? Just because she's an E-class? I'm not asking you to accept my ideas, but I want to ask you to respect my opinions! An Tong's tone was a little excited, this kind of statement similar to the theory of origin and bloodline was what he hated the most.
"Nonsense! What are you expecting from an E-class? Meng Shao grinned, revealing a mouth full of black teeth, and said viciously: "I've heard enough of your childish remarks, I'll give you 30 seconds." ”
Anyway, he had a domineering aura all over his body, and walked towards the console step by step, he planned to destroy this E-class ship with his own hands.
"Is this Meng Shao's momentum? I'm almost out of breath. ”
"It's horrible... At such a young age, he has the style of a king. ”
"Meng Shao is rarely promising, and he is the new bigseven."
But just as Meng Shao's hand was about to touch the button, his other hand held his wrist tightly, so that he couldn't move forward any further.
Meng Shao narrowed his eyes, looked at An Tong who dared to stop him like a poisonous snake, and asked, "Boy, do you know who I am?" ”
"You're a captain." An Tong glanced at his epaulettes, "But our admiral is only responsible to the military department, and you have no right to dispose of my ship's wife." ”
"Humph!" Meng Shao snorted coldly and pulled back his arm hard, there was still a faint pain in his wrist?
In this case, instead of being furious, Meng Shao put on a vicious smile, stared at An Tong and said word by word: "I think you will know later, after you pay enough price." ”
After that, Meng Shao straightened the folds on his clothes and left without looking back, and the onlookers also left after dropping the last few curses.
"You're in trouble, boy." After Ji Chao and the others left, out of sympathy, he said to An Tong: "His name is Meng Fengying, although he has a relationship with the upper echelons of the military department, he is also a powerful doer. ”
"I don't think he's good-tempered." An Tong smiled suddenly, and didn't seem to be worried about this Meng Fengying's background.
"He comes from the Fourth World, which is a post-apocalyptic world, much worse than ours, and humanity is on the verge of extinction, not much different from the primitive society of the jungle, so he has a special aversion to mercy and compassion, even to the point of pathology." Ji Chao continued to introduce.
"I don't want to offend anyone." An Tong shrugged helplessly, "I just hope to be able to respect my thoughts." ”
"Respect your ideas? Do you treat the ship's mother as a human being? Ji Chao shook his head helplessly, "I admit that there are a very small number of people who have the same opinion as you, but most people probably won't agree with you." ”
"It doesn't matter, recognition and respect are two different things, I just can't accept that I have to die if I disagree with them, it's so unreasonable." After Antong finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the dock again, and Higra was still quietly there, beautiful and pure.
"But do you know what the price is? Trainee Admirals need to complete certain tasks in order to become an official Admiral, which are not difficult, but they are not something that an E-class ship can handle. If you can't complete the apprenticeship, then what awaits you will be a hard labor camp and a soap factory. Ji Chao used these words to scare many people who had the same thoughts as An Tong, but this time, he knew that he couldn't scare An Tong.
"There's always a way to fix it, isn't it?" An Tong said confidently, "You also said that some people have the same idea. ”
"But none of them offended Meng Fengying."
"People who are full of eloquence like to use exaggerated performances to cover up their inner weakness, and this kind of person is not difficult to deal with." An Tong glanced at Ji Chao and pointed at Higra again, "Can I take her away now?" ”
Ji Chao looked at An Tong's black eyes full of perseverance, and swallowed the rest of the words.
Eventually, he gave Antong a piece of advice to try to go to the Admiral's forum or club for help, and he suddenly remembered that someone had made the same choice shortly after he became an engineer.
Both of them had deep black eyes and the resolute gaze in their eyes.
"This is the choice that only the truly strong and outright idiots would make... Which one will you be? Ji Chao looked at the backs of the two of them leaving and asked in a low voice.
