As soon as dawn came, the Osiris left Seattle and headed south with the submarine "Zhukov" of the new Muscovy. In view of the fact that Prince Peter, the captain of the "Zhukov", was seriously wounded, Captain Shepard suggested that Prince Peter return directly to China to heal his wounds, but Peter insisted on escorting his sister on a ride. So the two warships, one in the sky and one under the water, arrived in Portland together before parting

Underground in Portland is the secret humanoid weapons factory of the North American Rescue Alliance, which is also Kobe Bryant. Jordan's destination. He was not too embarrassed to work any longer, and after coping with Sima Qian's interview, he came to the exit alone and said goodbye to Shepard, who was unable to move, through the communicator.

"It's time to say goodbye, Major General Shepard, thank you for your help! By the way, Edward has been avoiding me during my time on the ship, warning him on my behalf, and I will not pursue his theft of Ten Swords No. 3. But if he dares to destroy the property of our Union, I will not bypass him! ”

Shepard had just finished saying goodbye to Jordan when a message from Vice President Robert of the new European Union came in.

"Captain Shepard, I'm Robert, and I'm currently in Portland dispatching our new EU technicians to support the North American technicians, so I don't have time to say goodbye to you personally. Thank you for taking care of me during this time with your wonderful crew, without you stepping up I would not have been able to escape Venice and cross the dangerous North American continent! Thank you! ”

Saying goodbye to Robert and Jordan, Captain Shepard's heart fell to the ground. I feel very tired while relaxing, and I don't know if it's because of the unresolved business or simply because of my advanced age.

There is also a hot potato on the ship - Princess Natasha of the New Moscow Principality, and it is not known how long this little girl will stay on the ship. If it is not handled well, I am afraid that the new Muscovy will not give up, and HER has a precedent of wanting to kidnap her...

"How is Princess Natasha now?"

"It's still the same, lock yourself in your room."

Shepard sighed.

"Osiris, full speed to Chihuahua!"

"Yes!!"

The word "full speed" is the most popular word at the helmsman Yamaguchi.

…

"Wow, that's fast."

Seeing the scenery speeding by outside the window, Lin Ao couldn't help blurting out this sentence. The Osiris's journey to the earth was slow for a long time, due to the fact that the ship was too large and the equipment was all new technology, and all the engines would not be started at full capacity at the advice of engineers. Second, for safety reasons, the flight speed is too fast to respond in time in the face of missiles and laser cannons. Especially for laser cannons, there are almost no effective ways to resolve them. The third reason is that the crew of the Osiris swore to fight to the death against the Earth Invasion Force of HER, and if the battleship flies too fast and misses the opportunity to help the earthlings, then the Osiris's trip to Earth will become a sightseeing tour. As a result, the last time Lin'o saw the Osiris flying at high speed was across the Atlantic. But at that time, I could only see hi, and naturally I could feel the speed better than watching the land speed in front of my eyes.

"It's very fast, in less than four hours, we will be able to reach the commercial port of the Moore Chamber of Commerce."

Sima Qian appeared beside Lin Ao as if she was jumping, and she seemed to be looking forward to going to the universe, her steps mimicking the way she moved in a low-gravity environment. It's just that she doesn't seem to take into account that such a child-like pace is no longer suitable for her age.

"Lin Ao, if you have time, come and do an interview with me. The fact that the HER general was killed by you will definitely inspire everyone's fighting spirit! ”

"Hmm... Yes, but let's wait until we get to the commercial port. I heard Sergeant Anton say that the Osiris would have to be refurbished for a month at the commercial port, and that there would be time at that time. ”

"Okay..."Sima Qian was a little disappointed, but soon her eyes lit up again: "By the way, isn't the princess of the new Muscovy now your teammate, help me convince her to be interviewed?" ”

"This," said Lin Ao, scratching his head in embarrassment, "Sergeant Anton said not to disturb Natasha. ”

"How is this so~ I interviewed the leader of the North American Rescue Alliance in the morning, he only cared about boasting about his achievements, and when he asked the key questions, he said that he had nothing to say! There's no material for interviews lately! ”

Sima Qian complained helplessly, and at this time, on the land in front of them, a looming narrow abandoned city wall appeared.

"Look! That's the border wall! ”

"Border what?" Lin Ao had heard the term for the first time.

Sima Qian explained: "Don't you know? Hundreds of years ago, a North American leader paid for the construction of this border wall to prevent people from other countries in the south from smuggling immigrants. The wall was abandoned when he left office, but it became an attraction. ”

After hearing this, Lin Ao said thoughtfully: "Oh... In order to prevent immigrants from smuggling. I've heard my dad say that in the past, in order to prevent cosmic immigrants from being smuggled into the earth, various forces on Earth also set up very strict and impersonal immigration restrictions. ”

Sima Qian said: "After all, I immigrated because the earth was overwhelmed, and the original intention was to protect the earth. But it's also because of immigration restrictions. Many cosmic immigrants simply call themselves 'cosmic people', completely dissociating themselves from the earth. ”

Lin Ao shook his head: "Protecting the earth is just an excuse, my father said that in the 200 years of cosmic immigration, the population of the universe has reached 20 billion, and the population of the earth has been controlled below 3 billion." After 200 years of hard work, the Earth's environment has improved enough to accommodate more people. But those in power have made the earth their own garden, enjoying the carefully produced wines and delicacies of the planet. For more than a hundred years, cosmic people can only eat inferior food, and this phenomenon did not improve until a few decades ago, but the products of the earth are still regarded as the top in the universe. As a result, the things produced in the universe can only be sold cheaply, while the things produced on the earth, even if they are just a screw, can be sold at a higher value than the goods produced in the universe. ”

Sima Qian was stunned, she had never heard Lin Ao speak such a tirade.

"Your father told you this?"

"Well, he and my mom are both teachers. When I was young, my family went to West Asia to support local education. ”

"Your father sounds like an equalizer in the Earth Sphere."

"He sympathized with the cosmic man, but he died at the gunpoint of HER. The irony is that HER is under the slogan of fighting for the power of the cosmic people..."

"No, HER is not just for the power of the cosmic people, they want to plunder and oppress the rights of other people, including the earthlings and the cosmic people." Sima Qian denied.

After speaking, the speed of the Osiris slowed down significantly, and the ship's radio sounded: "The ship is starting to slow down, please continue to stick to your posts to prevent possible attacks." ”

"It has nothing to do with us, Sergeant Anton said that only Team B needs to be on standby now."

The two continued to talk and laugh for a while, and after a while, Sima Qian suddenly patted Lin Ao's shoulder and pointed to the scenery outside the window and said, "Look at Lin Ao, it's so beautiful there!" ”

The direction Sima Qian pointed to was a valley with a magnificent scenery. The mountains wrapped in a green carpet here seem to have been magically cast, sometimes staggered, sometimes orderly. The valleys are sometimes deep and sometimes open, and the ridges are sometimes winding and sometimes steep and towering. Lin Ao can also see the rushing river in the valley, with nine twists and turns, and the water is shining.

"It's so beautiful here! Where is this? ”

Lin Ao instinctively asked Sima Qian, in his eyes, reporters should be knowledgeable.

"Well, I'll check my phone... Copper Valley! This is the Copper Valley of Chihuahua, Mexico! The Internet says that the fine color here is comparable to the famous Grand Canyon. ”

"Copper Valley... It's such a beautiful place, and if there is no war, I would really like to come here. ”

Lin Ao and Sima Qian were shocked by the landscape of the Copper Valley, but they didn't know that in the Copper Valley, someone was weaving a huge net of death waiting for the arrival of the Osiris...
