The Osiris did not dare to slack off and fled at full speed from the waters near the Peloponnese. A little more than an hour later, the Osiris docked near the Dinara Mountains, and the ship's technicians worked overtime to repair the damaged humanoid weapon and hull, and the rest of the crew was finally able to sleep after a busy night.

Captain Shepard, who had been sleeping all night and was still patrolling the ship, noticed that the morale of the Osiris was very low. It is also true that since the Battle of Yalta, the Osiris has not won a single battle, and everyone has been exhausted for several days.

But before the next operation, the Osiris needs a good rest. A large hole was punched in the deck, and only five usable humanoid weapons remained, and several pilots were injured.

At this time, the pressure and exhaustion that had been accumulating since Athens suddenly came up, and he fell to the ground with both feet on his feet. The bystanders hurriedly lifted the captain up and took him to the infirmary. Shepard waved his hand and told them to send themselves back to the captain's room.

The infirmary was lively, originally only Miao Haosi was alone, but now the brothers of teams A and B have come to accompany him.

"Hello, can you tell us about the battle that happened this morning?"

"Hey! The patient needs to rest, you guys get out of here! ”

When Doctor Apu entered the ward, the reporter trio actually ran to the ward to interview, and they were blown away.

After being blasted out, photographer Herodotus sighed: "The battle in the early morning was so dangerous, I thought I was going to die this time." By the way, Miss Akane, why don't you interview Lin Ao? We've been on board for so long. ”

Sima Qian shook her head: "He fought all night, let him have a good rest, and I want to wait for the child to be more mature before interviewing him." ”

"But Director Sima Xun has been urging us to do a special topic on the No. 2 machine!" Assistant Thucydides reminded her.

Sima Qian twisted her face: "Don't worry about my brother, Lin Ao is still too immature now, and if you let HER know that the pilot of the second plane is still a child after the interview is broadcast, it will only put the ship in more danger." ”

"Is Miss Akane trying to protect him? But I don't think his recent performance is worse than those professional soldiers, and he is not immature. ”

"These are two different things... But don't worry, my gut tells me that this kid is growing up fast. ”

Sima Qian thought that Lin Ao was sleeping in his room, but in fact, Lin Ao was still in the cockpit of the No. 2 plane, looking through his battle video.

"Do you want to find out how you are lacking in the battle by watching the video? I'm impressed with you! AI Toth said.

Lin Ao said coldly: "I remember when I was lost in the Caspian Sea, you still wanted me to die." ”

"Hey, hey, that's before. After all, one of my tasks in the program is to make sure that the second machine is handed over to a good pilot. When you first started, not only did you not dare to shoot, but you also vomited at every turn. ”

"So you think I'm a good driver now?"

"It's far from it, but at least you're making a lot of progress. You don't hesitate to shoot now, and I'm curious what has changed in your mind. ”

Lin Ao closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, and sleepiness suddenly came up. But he didn't want to sleep yet, he said: "My dad was killed by HER soldiers, so I hated war and hated killing people even more." But then I rescued a mother and daughter trapped in the fire in Yalta, and I felt very relieved at the time, thinking that I could do good in the war, but then..."

Lin Ao didn't go on, and after that scene, he would always dream about it, haunting him like a nightmare.

"So you think sanctioning the enemy will make you feel better?" The AI asked him.

"Yes... That's exactly what I thought. I had only heard about HER's atrocities before, but it was a completely different feeling from what I actually saw, so I decided to sanction them. ”

Lin Ao clenched his fists hard, and then let go.

"But after my sanctions, the nightmare still haunts me. It was just that the moment I knocked down the enemy, I got a pleasant sense of relief, but I was afraid..."

"I'm afraid you're going to get addicted next, right?" AI asked.

Lin Ao let out a long breath, got up and lay on the operation screen and whispered: "That's right, I have defeated a lot of enemies in the past few days, but I don't feel better." ”

"Because you've only knocked down a few, and now the whole earth, and even the universe, are experiencing tragedies born of war. Maybe you will be relieved until the end. AI said.

Lin Ao smiled: "I hope I can hold on to the end, as long as you don't want me to die anymore." ”

"Hey, hey, I promise not. I used to look away, maybe your potential is far greater than I calculated. ”

Lin Ao looked up at the video again, and felt that he was so strange now, that he would have been more willing to spend time studying the recipe before. He yawned and turned off the video to check it out at the restaurant.

Because it was almost time for breakfast, the staff in the restaurant did not rest, and they were busy preparing breakfast. Worried that the Osiris would be destroyed, they hurriedly stored the ingredients, but now it will be troublesome to turn them out. The restaurant was full of: "Where did the tomatoes go?" "Potatoes! Where's my potatoes! Complaints and so on.

Seeing that everyone was so busy, Lin Ao rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help. But Fiona, who was busy sweating profusely, hit her head hard with a baguette.

"You kid don't go to rest, why are you here?"

Facing Fiona's questioning, Lin Ao covered his head and said aggrievedly: "I can't sleep, I want to help you..."

Fiona slung the baguette on her shoulders and reprimanded him harshly: "I don't need your help! It is very important for the driver to maintain his mental state, do you want to be defeated by the enemy because of lack of sleep and lack of energy, and everyone will die? ”

"No, I..."

"Go back to sleep! Don't grind! Take this back to your room and eat it! ”

Lin Ao left the restaurant aggrieved and took the baguette that Fiona had forced into him.

…

Two hours later, Captain Shepard entered the conference room and saw Anton and the other staff officers on board studying the map.

"Sergeant Anton, didn't you go to sleep?"

"I'll wait to catch up on sleep, I'm disturbing your rest, Captain, to show you this."

A staff officer swiped his hand across the screen, and a letter appeared in front of Shepard's eyes.

"A letter of help from Venice from Robert, the new EU Vice-Speaker?!"

Anton nodded: "Last night, HER launched an airborne operation across Europe, and many European cities were blocked, affecting most of the railways and routes of the new European Union. The new EU's Deputy Speaker, Robert is supposed to attend next week's parliamentary elections in Turin, but he is now trapped in Venice. ”

Shepard scratched his chin: "If it weren't for the invitation of the deputy speaker, I wouldn't have dared to enter the European city..."

Anton smiled and said, "The situation in Athens is an exception after all, Captain, do you want to accept the request for help from Deputy Speaker Robert?" ”

"Accept, write back to the Deputy Speaker. This time, we were saved with the support of the new European Union, and we should have repaid their favor. ”

Shepard said this, and suddenly coughed violently, and looked like he was about to lose his footing. Several staff officers tried to help, but Shepard stopped them.

Anton said worriedly, "Captain, it's time for you to go back and rest." ”

Shepard smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal for me to cough at my age." I'll go back to sleep, Anton, you should rest early, and let the staff officers reply to the deputy speaker. ”

Anton watched Shepard leave worriedly, and said to the staff officers: "Let everyone rest until 12 o'clock, and then set sail for Venice!" ”
