"Sir."

At the same time, on the bridge of the Hyperion, Matt Horner, who was immersed in the star map, found Jim Reynolds walking by. He stood up straight and sent his chief the most sincere greetings.

At this time, Jim Reynolds was no longer what it used to be. His head was full of gray hair, and the darkness around his eyes showed the tiredness of his body.

He was also tired inside.

Jim didn't speak, he walked up to Matt Horner's side with a slight light, holding the star map with his hands, staring at the three-dimensional image with a greenish light with an unobtrusive gaze.

"Sir, it's been a long time since you've had a good rest, maybe you should have a few drinks."

Drunkenness promotes the desire to sleep, and sleep relieves fatigue and inner pain. But many times, because it is so painful, there is no thought of sleeping.

Jim didn't speak, he was still staring at the star map. And in an instant, he felt a trace of dizziness, and the dizziness passed in an instant.

Too little rest has made his physical fitness worse.

Jim is no longer young, and he is already middle-aged, and he can't afford to endure more fatigue tactics. But the guilt in his heart finally haunted his heart - the Rangers abandoned Zhao Yi, just as Arcturus Monsk abandoned Sarah Kerrigan on Tassanis.

Although the Rangers were essentially different from the Monsk - they were forced to abandon because they couldn't follow the trail of a Leviathan, it was enough to make Jim Reynolds feel guilty.

"From Haven, there are reports that the virus of the alien worm is dying on its own."

As soon as he heard the word "Haven" pop out of Jim's mouth, Matt Horner almost blew up. For a moment, I thought that there was another crisis of alienation on Haiwen.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be what Matt thinks.

Matt didn't speak, waiting for Jim's next step.

And Stetman, based on data from Haven, also confirmed this. Matt, do you know what that means? ”

"What does that mean?"

"Zhao Yi succeeded."

It worked? What succeeded? Didn't Zhao Yi disappear on the alien Leviathan, was he either killed or infected? How do you use the word success?

Matt didn't understand.

"I ...... I don't understand. ”

Matt understood Jim's feelings, he had been so depressed lately that he led a group of men to the Haven command center in order to end the Haven local army's attack on the Rangers. After killing the infected Dr. Hansen, he made a radio to get the Haven Army to stop the reckless and stupid act of attacking the Rangers.

But it was Dr. Hansen, when he rescued Haven from the Star Spirit, the two newborn lovers had kept each other, but as fate would have it, Jim sent a bullet into Dr. Hansen's head.

It's not Jim's fault, but Dr. Hansen died at Jim's hands after all—and in the face of infection, only the purification of flame can destroy it. Jim, who had known this for a long time, naturally killed the infected Dr. Hansen. But this incident was a big blow to Jim Reynolds.

The Havens who worked hard to rescue the Alien Worm Mouth were almost completely wiped out under the attack of the Alien Star Spirit. Thankfully, on the planet Haven, an ordinary woman named Ayad has taken over Haven's political power - after suffering many disasters that can destroy them all, the Haven people seem to be dispossessed. And someone who is willing to stand up and fight for the happiness of the Haiwen people is naturally extremely popular with the Haiwen people.

And Jim Renaud didn't want to pay too much attention to this sad place, so he also transferred Haven's political rights to Ayard.

Until now, Ayad has been doing well.

If it was enough to kill Dr. Hansen with his own hands, what made Jim even more uncomfortable was Zhao Yi's sudden departure.

Zhao Yi left suddenly, because he just hit the head of the worm mother's spear, so he disappeared on the Leviathan. And the Clarant, which was supposed to be destroyed in the tentacles of the Leviathan, returned—Zhao Yi used his integrity to save the entire ship, which moved and saddened Jim.

He saved the entire ship with the life of one person, but he was also Jim's favorite!

Naturally, Jim couldn't find the worm mother for revenge, and after fully understanding what had happened, he had to punish the captain of the Callant, Farryn, to the rank of marine.

Who told you to hesitate even if you jump? Who told you to question the commander's decision?

"You've dealt with insects countless times, Matt. Alien insects never give up on the pursuit of a planet easily. And this time, the natural death of the swarm virus on Haven proves one thing. ”

"Mother worm is dead."

Jim made a sloppy verdict.

"You mean, the moment Zhao Yi met with the worm mother, he assassinated her?"

"Quite possibly. Matt. Jim said solemnly. And for a moment, Matt wanted to laugh out loud, for Jim's illogical judgment.

But Matt didn't think about it after all.

"Matt, where's Zhao Yi's dog tag?"

"Here, sir." Zhao Yi ripped off his dog tag before leaving, and it was still on the ground. Fucalo, who didn't think that Zhao Yi would die easily, refused to take the dog tag, and Matt, as the captain of the ship, naturally had the obligation to keep these things.

It was mainly out of respect for Commander Zhao Yi that Matt was willing to help keep the dog tags.

The tiny dog tag is not as wide as a Marine's finger. But inside the small orange chip, Zhao Yi's information was recorded.

Information such as blood type that is convenient for emergency medical treatment, the various battles he has participated in in his life, and the enemies he has defeated...... And when Zhao Yi disappeared from the rangers, this dog tag was destined to no longer update the information in the dog tag.

Jim pinched the dog tag, a faint bitterness in his mouth.

"I'll look for Foccarlo. Zhao Yi's lover before his death was her. I gave her the dog tag ......"

"But sir, the Rangers haven't moved for a long time."

In a word, Matt pulls Jim back into reality.

"The dead are dead, and the living still have to fight for life." In the dim light, the wrinkles on Matt's forehead were unusually obvious: "We don't have any money." ”

The Rangers require a lot of money to run on a day-to-day basis, and the operation to help Haven is already costing the money earned by the Rangers' artifact quests.

"Matt, I've heard from Tykes that he has a new artifact mission. Where is it? ”

"On a planet called Typhon, sir." Matt Lizheng said.

Jim looked at the dog tag belonging to Zhao Yi in his hand, and then looked at Matt.

"Get ready to take the leap." With that, he turned around and walked to the gate of the bridge: "I'll be back in a moment." ”
