Volume 1: Departure Chapter 119
A punch blasted open the mechanical arm blocked by the mechanical stakeman and smashed into its very center, and with only its physical strength, it pressed the lines and mechanical plates inside the stakeman, making it unable to quickly block Ling An's other fist according to the program.
Boom –
The last of the stakemen also fell, and these mechanical gadgets, set to normal human standards, could not cope with the engine warriors at all.
Ling An wiped his sweat and was wondering why the next batch hadn't come in yet, when he saw two heavily armed men walking in a little tremblingly.
"Why are you two here?" Ling An, who had already vented a lot, saw the person coming, and his face softened a little.
"That, two...... Brother Ling, Xiao Xuan said that you can't rest assured, let the two of us help take a look. "The people who came were Xia Fang Tong and Xiang Chen, Ling An was a little puzzled, could it be that these two people had been following them since noon?
After being silent for a while, Ling An picked up the towel on the shelf on the side, wiped his sweat, and asked, "How did you find me?" ”
"That, Brother Ling, this is my family's property......" Xia Fangtong said with some embarrassment.
“……”
Ling An got dressed and said lightly, "I'm sorry for breaking so many of your robots, just give me the bill later...... You can take off your armor, and I won't do anything to you, isn't it too stuffy to wear? ”
Xia Fangtong and Xiang Chen laughed and took off their heavy armor.
"That, Brother Ling, have you encountered something troublesome? It's better to tell the little brother about it......" Xia Fangtong said cautiously.
"Me too." On the side, Xiang Chen also hurriedly said.
Originally, the two of them just wanted to do Ling Xuan a favor and brush up their favor, but looking at the second uncle's appearance, it was obvious that he had encountered something extremely depressing, if they could help him solve it, they might be able to really make a friend with Ling An.
Although Xia Fangtong and Xiang Chen are children of a big family, because of the relationship between family education, they are actually not like Jing Bin.
Their elders often tell them to know how to know people, and even more importantly, not to despise anyone.
Ling An has a temperament that he hasn't discovered himself, although Xia Fang Tong and Xiang Chen can't say it, they always feel that it is not a bad thing to be good friends with him.
It's not that they haven't seen the Glorious Army, but indeed, only if they attach so much importance to Ling An, it's not just because they're all pursuing Ling Xuan.
"Brother Ling, it's not convenient here, why don't we change places? We also know a lot of things, maybe, it will also help you Ling An? Xia Fangtong said tentatively.
Originally, because he was in an extremely bad mood, Ling An didn't really want to pay attention to these two goods, but when he heard Xia Fangtong's words, his heart moved, and his face softened a lot, "Let you bother, I'm really a little upset, maybe it's good to talk to you." ”
Xia Fangtong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Ling An still gave people an inexplicable pressure at this moment, but since he was willing to communicate, he should be emotionally stable.
He was also very curious about what could make Ling An angry like this.
"Director, arrange a room and prepare some wine and side dishes." Xiang Chen shouted outside.
"Hey, this is my place at home!" Xia Fangtong turned his head and said dissatisfiedly.
"Come less, I haven't seen you politely at my house." Xiang Chen said disdainfully.
", where in your house don't you have our shares?"
"Aren't you too? Who provides the bot? ”
"We didn't pay?"
You say a word, I say a word, these two guys sing and harmonize, which really makes Ling An feel a lot better.
Looking at problems with a heavy attitude all the time is indeed easy to make people depressed.
Seeing that the second uncle's face had further eased, Xiang Chen and Xia Fangtong made eye contact, full of appreciation for each other.
(Well done bro!) )
(That is!) )
"II...... Brother Ling, please here, please here! Xiang Chen said.
"This is my home place!"
"Alright, you two, it would be too deliberate to come again." Ling An said lightly.
“……”
Xia Fangtong smiled awkwardly, and quickly stepped forward to open the door of the fighting room.
……
Jinling Research Institute.
This is a specially set up café in the institute to provide a place for busy researchers to relax and eat.
At this moment, in a single room, Dr. Qiu Yu changed out of his research coat and was dressed brightly and brightly, looking beautiful under the lights.
And on the other side of this dining table was a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Glorious Army, if Ling An was here, he would definitely be surprised.
He was Xiang Yi, Ling An's instructor during the training camp.
"You asked me out just to have a meal?" Xiang Yi said.
"What, can't you?" Qiu Yu gave him a blank look. "Xiang Death Ghost, do you know that my friends are starting to laugh at me."
"What do you care about me?" Xiang Yi's complexion did not change.
"They laugh at me and no one wants an old woman, you say you don't care about your business?" Qiu Yu snorted coldly.
Xiang Yi's face twitched slightly, turned his face away, and said, "They are right, you are not too small, you should find someone to ......"
Bang!
With a slap on the table, Qiu Yu stood up suddenly, his chest trembled with anger, and his eyes turned red.
"When I was eighteen years old, I said I would wait for you, I have been waiting for you for seventeen years, how many seventeen years can I wait?"
"You don't have to wait."
"Don't wait? Do you know that the family has been putting pressure on me? The clan elders all came forward in person, so many elders don't do anything all day long, they know to call me, do you know how much work I have to spend a day to refuse their proposals? You only think about your dignity, have you considered my feelings? ”
"I told you not to wait any longer!" Xiang Yi roared suddenly.
Tick...... Tick......
The private room was silent for a moment, except for the sound of wine dripping down the edge of the table to the floor from the overturned wine glasses, and the heavy breathing of the two.
"I'm sorry." After a long time, Xiang Yi said.
"You're not a hero, you're a coward." Qiu Yu said coldly.
Xiang Yi picked up the overturned wine glass, looking a little decadent, he didn't dare to look directly at Qiu Yu.
"Let's get down to business, you called me out, you can't really say that."
Glancing at him, Qiu Yu sat down, crossed his hands in front of his chest, crossed Erlang's legs without any ladylike demeanor, and then picked up the bottle of precious red wine that had been opened on the table, and poured it into his mouth with a gurgling face.
Xiang Yi saw this scene and wanted to say something, but his mouth opened, but he didn't say it.
"Someone else helped with the test, it's your student, the secret one."
"Ling An?" Xiang Yi frowned, "He's promoted?" ”
"Well, come to Jinling to see his sister and little girlfriend," Thinking of this, Qiu Yu was angry again, but he just snorted coldly and continued: "Ling Xuan said that his brother can control the energy at a distance of three meters outside the body and generate the traction force that pulls the pebbles, he should already have the control of your Glorious Army guerrilla squad leader, right?" ”
"After all, he is a special secret, and there is always something special about him." Xiang Yi said, "So, with him, I don't have to participate in the experimental test?" ”
"You want to be beautiful!" Qiu Yu glanced at him.
"No matter how strong that kid's energy control is, can he be stronger than you? The main data of the experiment is provided by you, and you are not allowed to refuse! It's business! ”
"Got it." Xiang Yi's eyes showed a hint of brilliance, as if it was another person with a decadent face before. "This kid is improving so fast, it's just right, I'll consider him."
Looking at Xiang Yi, who had returned to normal, Qiu Yu secretly sighed, for this man, if any woman was in her position, she might resent him for his emotional cowardice.
But on the contrary, she couldn't hate it, because she knew what made Xiang Yi what he is now.
You're not a coward, you're a hero. I'll help you...... Qiu Yu said secretly in his heart.
……
"According to you, the Fallen Gods are actually in collusion with many forces?" Ling An shook the wine glass in his hand, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.
"I can't say that, to be precise, it is the Fallen God Society that is hidden in many forces, and it is difficult to say whether those forces have discovered the people of the Fallen God Society." Xia Fangtong said cautiously.
He was a little confused, this script was wrong, shouldn't he and Xiang Chen listen to Ling An talk about his hard work, and then use their rich life experience to solve problems for the second uncle, and finally gain his favor?
How could the reality be that he and Xiang Chen were sitting here, Ling An asked, and they answered?
And why, is the second uncle so interested in the fallen gods? Isn't he from the Glorious Army? Shouldn't the understanding be deeper?
"Eat something, you're tired after talking so much." Ling An finally didn't ask.
"Uh-oh." Xia Fangtong and Xiang Chen were a little sluggish, what did they say before?
Ling An didn't pay attention to them, but was thinking about the information he had just gotten.
There must be a certain discrepancy between the facts and what Xia Fangtong and Xiang Chen said, after all, although they are the children of a big family, the family is not their own, even if they don't hide it, it is impossible to know much.
But from their answers, Ling An could roughly guess something.
The Earth Federation is not monolithic.
Although the whole federation shows that the main body is each member state, and the federal parliament composed of representatives of each country controls the federal power, in fact, many of these countries are held by some big families, and their seats are also in the hands of these families.
It can be said that 70 percent of the economy and politics of the entire federation are in the hands of individual families. Compared with those internationally famous big families, the Xiang family and the Xia family are just ants.
This is because of the Huaxia system, which determines that the family can always be a family, and can only choose to cooperate with the country's arrangements, and Huaxia is also the biggest supporter of the Glorious Army from beginning to end.
But the big families of other member states are not necessarily the same. As long as it doesn't hurt their interests, they don't care about the Fallen Divine Order, they don't care about the alien race, they prefer to maintain a delicate balance so that their family can benefit from it.
The fact is so ridiculous, it is clear that the alien race may hit the earth at any time, and these businessmen and politicians are still raising their glasses and shouting, ignoring the small actions of some people under them.
The Fallen God Society must have taken advantage of this and infiltrated all over the Federation, otherwise, it would not have exposed so many dark spots when the Glorious Army and the defensive forces began to focus on them.
For some reason, a famous sentence suddenly came to mind in Ling An's mind:
If you go outside, you must first settle inside!
