Chapter 1 Blessings and Misfortunes

Next Chapter

Time: September 9, 107 in the Earth Federation calendar

Location: Alpha in the C9 constellation Perseus.

Qin Hao was lying in a bomb crater next to the beach, surrounded by gunpowder smoke and the stumps and severed arms of his teammates.

This is the fourth attack of the Federation Army on Isis Beach, although the Federation fighters have launched a carpet bombing near the beach before, but the effect is not obvious in front of the burrowing Zerg, and when the motorized infantry launched a landing operation, it still encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy.

The fourth charge apparently failed again, and thousands of motorized infantry were left lying in single digits in the crater, and Qin Hao was one of them.

"Hiss...... Hiss" Listening to the sound of insects chirping in his ears, Qin Hao's nerves tensed again, and he clenched the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, this was his last reliance, although there were not many bullets left in the magazine, but this was still his life-saving guy.

"! I guess I don't have a chance to go back alive, come on, kill one is enough, kill two and earn one! Qin Hao roared angrily, then turned over and lay on the edge of the crater, shooting at the approaching giant beetle.

"Da ......" The electromagnetic rifle spat out a tongue of fire, and the bullet tore through a giant beetle more than ten meters away like a torrent of metal, this giant beetle more than two meters tall fell to the ground with a bang, but it didn't bring Qin Hao even a trace of joy, because opposite him, there were still hundreds of giant beetles approaching, but Qin Hao's electromagnetic rifle had already lit up a red warning light, which meant that the number of bullets in him was less than two digits.

"It's over." Qin Hao shook the rifle in his hand hard, facing such a large number of giant beetles, he knew that he had no chance.

……

"Squeak!" With a scream, a giant beetle with a golden horn rushed in front of Qin Hao, at this time Qin Hao had run out of ammunition, the electromagnetic rifle in his hand had run out of ammunition, and he could no longer attack.

"Huh!" The giant beetle raised one of its forearms, its bony feet as sharp as a knife and stained with mottled crimson, apparently more than one motorized infantry had died at its feet!

"Hiss......" The giant beetle's big mouth opened excitedly, revealing a pale green viscous disgusting liquid, obviously it was planning to kill Qin Hao and then make dinner with him!

"Poof!" The giant beetle's forearm pierced Qin Hao's thigh, and after pulling it up, it brought out scarlet blood.

"Xi Xi Suo Suo......" The giant beetle licked its forearm stained with Qin Hao's blood, although the insect face couldn't make an expression, Qin Hao could still feel its excitement and enjoyment.

"Want to eat me? Dream! You can bury me with you! Qin Hao roared angrily, at this moment he had long forgotten to be afraid, and with red eyes, he pulled the energy grenade from his waist.

"Squeak!" This giant beetle obviously has a lot of intelligence, and it knows the destructive nature of the energy grenade, so the moment Qin Hao flashed the grenade, it screamed, and then wanted to kill Qin Hao before he could detonate the grenade.

"Poof!" The sharp bony forearm pierced Qin Hao's chest, but at the same time, Qin Hao also opened the safety of the grenade and pulled the fuse!

"Boom!" In the panicked eyes of the giant beetle, the energy grenade detonated, and the face of the insect that was close at hand was shattered, Qin Hao was also blurred in the explosion, and the blue brain of the giant beetle flowed down and splashed on Qin Hao's almost blown chest.

At the same time, the surrounding giant beetles let out a mournful roar, they never thought that their little prince, who had just become an adult, would actually die on such a battlefield with a very low degree of danger!

……

When: September 11, 107 in the Earth Federation calendar

Location: Perseus C9 Alpha Gravity Well, 703 Hospital Ship of the Earth Federation's Seventh Fleet.

"This kid is really fateful, he can still survive tenaciously even if he is blown up."

"yes...... Oh, yes...... But I can't keep my right hand! ”

"It's good to be able to save your life if you blow it up like this, what's it to lose an arm!?"

"Hmmm! Also, Xiao Wang, you go and get a robotic arm. ”

"Yes! Dr. Lee. ”

……

When Qin Hao woke up again, his eyes were snow-white, and he moved slightly, Qin Hao found himself lying on a soft bed, looking around, Qin Hao's heart settled down, this is the ward of the medical ship, he has been here before when he was injured.

"Are you awake?" That is, in less than a minute, after detecting that Qin Hao showed signs of awakening, a nurse walked into the ward.

"Hmm." Qin Hao nodded, it was not the first time he had been injured, although the scene of the coming of death was vivid in his mind, but when he saw everything in front of him, he was relieved, he must have detonated the grenade and killed the giant beetle, and he was fortunately not dead, and was saved by his later comrades.

"You are really fateful, you actually detonated an energy grenade at close range...... "The little nurse didn't know if she admired Qin Hao, or if she felt that Qin Hao had a big life, so she said what he looked like when he was sent, and Qin Hao was scared when he heard it.

Don't look at Qin Hao's bravery when he faced the giant beetle at that time, but that was because on the battlefield, Qin Hao couldn't care about being scared after killing him, and now that he thinks about it, the god of death patted him on the shoulder, and that kind of fear is the most terrifying.

Then the little nurse debugged the instrument beside Qin Hao a few times, and then said to him: "This is the maintenance manual, take a look at it when you are fine, your right arm is gone, and it has been replaced with a Type 034 robotic arm, a mass production product purchased in bulk by the federal army, you know." ”

"What?!" Qin Hao hurriedly stretched out his right arm, and saw a silver flashing mechanical arm on his shoulder, although he was very comfortable clenching his fists and holding things, but this was not his arm after all.

"Don't worry, this robotic arm is connected to your neurons, and it is really no different from using it, and even more powerful than your original arm, but occasionally there will be some small problems, and the maintenance manual is written, and you can repair it yourself when the time comes." The little nurse said with a smile that she had been working on a hospital ship for more than a year and had seen too many disabled soldiers dressed with robotic arms or legs, so she was used to it.

"Okay." Qin Hao nodded, at this point, he could only accept the fate of his broken arm.

But it is in response to the old saying: Misfortune and blessing depend. Although Qin Hao lost an arm, according to the provisions of the federal military law, his disability level has reached the third level, and he can not only be honorably discharged from the army, but also receive a large pension, which is enough for him to live a very nourishing life for the rest of his life.

You must know that in the Federation Interstellar Navy, the death rate of motorized infantry is more than 30 times that of other arms, and in wartime, there are few lucky people who can live to serve the entire military service, and they can be discharged due to injuries and get a large pension, which is also a good result.
