Chapter 17: Garden
Four Earth-day training grounds.
The awakened VLS and the SQE, who are also in the awakened state, are fighting each other back and forth.
Eventually, SQE saw the moment and placed the quantum sword around VLS's neck.
At the same time, the VLS submachine gun was also pointed at the forehead of the SQE.
Then, the two slowly withdrew from the awakening mode.
"Yes, it's better than the previous two days." VLS exclaimed.
"That's it!" SQE replied without modesty.
"Say you're fat, you're still panting." VLS sarcastically.
"If I can be praised by you, then I naturally have to admit it unceremoniously." SQE said.
"Ahem, I know you have a good relationship, but can you put your gun and sword at ease before talking?" BIA, who was watching the game from the sidelines, suggested.
"Oh." Both of them laid down their weapons at the same time.
"Alright, since you're all tied today, let's stop here." BIA said.
"Understood!" VLS and SQE responded in unison.
——
After a few minutes, the consciousness of the three returned to their respective bodies.
"Ahh Today, I can be regarded as proficient in entering the awakening mode! Li Moxin happily took off his helmet.
"Yes, it's not in vain that Miss Ben has been with you in the training room every day these days." Zhao Zihan also said happily.
"Have you two forgotten me?" Shangguan Jing, who had just taken off his helmet, reminded.
"It's hard Captain, if it weren't for the fear that a second cargo would get out of control again, we wouldn't have bothered you." Zhao Zihan took off his helmet and thanked him.
"Hey! There are only three of us in the Manchurian Collective, and you won't beat around the bush! Li Moxin shouted.
"Okay, don't argue today." As he spoke, Shangguan Jing took out the communicator, "Then I'll contact Lin Feng, let's go to the garden for a walk in a while, and then we should take a break." ”
Shangguan Jing rummaged through Xu Linfeng's contact ID, but the other name was more concerned about Shangguan Jing.
"Speaking of which, I haven't chatted with Bai Qi's senior for several days." Shangguan said to himself quietly.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jing unconsciously clicked on Bai Qi's ID and sent a text message.
"Senior, we're going to go for a walk in the garden later, do you want to be together?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen RBS in a few days, where has he been these days?" Zhao Zihan asked.
"He." Shangguan Jing responded as if he was coping: "He has been assigned a personal mission, and he will have to stay on Earth for about three days before he can come back. ”
——
On Earth, RBS, sitting alone in a tree deep in the jungle with his eyes closed, was silently waiting for the ground researcher to send instructions from the joint.
Suddenly, a text message popped up in front of his eyes.
"Senior, we're going to go for a walk in the garden later, do you want to be together?"
RBS looked at the text message sent by Shangguan Jing and was about to reply, but the voice of the researcher sounded in his ears.
"Codenamed RBS, we have completed the energy harvesting of the C-43-5 area, please come to the contact point to meet us."
Upon receiving the order, RBS immediately closed the text message, stood up on the branch, and then stepped into the air, allowing himself to fall to the ground.
After a simple somersault to cushion, RBS landed firmly beside the epee.
After that, he drew his heavy sword from the ground and slowly moved towards the spot.
——
"Three days! How can it be! Li Moxin's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Isn't it! How could he endure being an Ark for so long? Zhao Zihan was also frightened.
"Don't worry about him, anyway, there is no danger to his life if his consciousness leaves his body for no more than seven days, not to mention that his guy is not suitable for being a robot." Shangguan Jing said a little irritably.
After speaking, Shangguan Jing hugged his helmet, stood up, and walked to the door of the preparation room: "Gather at Garden No. 153 at three o'clock, don't be late." ”
After speaking, Shangguan Jing left the preparation room.
"Eh, I feel like the captain is talking about RBS, it's like he has eaten gunpowder." Li Moxin whispered to Zhao Zihan.
Zhao Zihan responded in the same tone: "Yes, who made that guy so annoying." ”
"But the captain's reaction was too fierce." Li Moxin said.
"Because she's the captain." Zhao Zihan explained, "A captain is responsible for the team, but RBS is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, so the captain is so disgusted with him." ”
"In this case, let's not talk to him in front of the captain in the future." Li Moxin said.
"Well, it's good that you have this awareness." Zhao Zihan agreed.
——
Shangguan Jing ran back to his dormitory alone, put the helmet on the table, and then sat on the bed.
When she thought of RBS now, she felt incredibly irritated.
From being tortured by his terrifying special training at the beginning, to his indifference during the first mission, to the excessive provocation of the SQE connected to Li Moxin during the second mission, and then to the inexplicable attack on Zhao Zihan's VLS, Li Moxin fell out of control and almost couldn't act normally.
All of this constantly stimulated Shangguan Jing.
Coupled with the fact that Bai Qi, who has the same personality in her heart, but feels completely different, is constantly compared with RBS, and the irrepressible disgust is even more obvious.
Suddenly, the communicator on Shangguan Jing's waist kept vibrating.
For a moment, Shangguan Jing, who thought it was Bai Qi sending a reply, suddenly forgot her dislike for RBS and turned on the communicator excitedly.
"Are you done training?"
When Shangguan Jing saw that the ID name was Xu Linfeng, she felt a little lost in her heart.
"Well, it's done. I'm in the dormitory right now and want to rest for a while, so I'll see you at three o'clock. Shangguan Jing replied.
"Three points? Where to meet? Xu Linfeng's text message was sent back immediately.
Shangguan Jing replied a little puzzled: "Isn't it better to go to the garden together to relax?" ”
"Is there one?" Xu Linfeng replied quickly.
Shangguan Jing was even more puzzled and typed in, "Didn't you just say it......"
But as soon as the words were typed, Shangguan Jing suddenly realized something.
She seemed to have patronized to send a message to Bai Qi, and forgot to send a notification to Xu Linfeng as well.
After realizing that the problem was on him, Shangguan Jing covered his face in shame, and his legs involuntarily swayed wildly.
Then the communicator in his hand vibrated again.
Shangguan Jing opened a gap in his fingers and looked at the holographic screen projected by the communicator.
"Didn't you just send it to me? Why didn't I see the notification you gave me? ”
At this time, Shangguan Jing had an idea, and replied to Xu Linfeng's message: "Yes, I just found out that the text message was not sent to you, and I didn't notice it just now." ”
After a while, Xu Linfeng sent a reply: "Okay, I already understand, I'll see you in the garden at three o'clock, right." Or is it the same garden you used to grow old into? ”
Shangguan Jing responded: "Yes, see you at those three points." ”
After this message was sent, Shangguan Jing immediately threw the communicator on the bed, grabbed the pillow, covered his face, and lay on the bed.
At this time, she really wanted to cover such a shameful self to death like this.
——
3 p.m. East 8 Earth time.
Shangguan Jing had been lingering at the entrance of the garden for a long time.
This is the closest garden to the central command office of the Lighthouse, and because it is far from the civilian living quarters, it is also the least frequented of the more than 150 gardens in the entire Harbor.
But it is also for this reason that the plants here also grow the most spontaneously.
Shangguan Jing likes it here, because it is the place that makes her feel the most free.
"It's punctual, worthy of the captain." Xu Linfeng, who rushed here, teased.
"You're pretty punctual, too. Say it's three points, and now it's not bad at all. Shangguan Jing responded.
"You have to obey orders." Xu Linfeng quipped.
"Captain!" Li Moxin, who followed closely, also trotted all the way to the garden.
"How, how? I'm not late, am I? Li Moxin asked breathlessly.
"See, this is the real obedience." Shangguan Jing pointed at Li Moxin, who was out of breath, with his thumb, and said to Xu Linfeng.
"Alas, your teasing technique is not bad at all with Zi Han's learning." Xu Linfeng said helplessly.
"That's, after all, I watch the two of them bickering every day." Shangguan Jing quipped.
"Anyway, by the way, where did that girl go?" Li Moxin, who eased up slightly, asked.
"It's not there yet, so let's wait." Shangguan Jing said.
Two or three minutes later, Zhao Zihan, who was belated, met with everyone.
Li Moxin, who was facing away from the entrance of the garden, turned around and said mockingly: "Hey, you guy is late......"
When he saw Zhao Zihan in a lilac dress, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I'll have to be teased by you when I'm late, and every time you're late for training, you'll always have a reason." Zhao Zihan teased.
But she soon noticed Li Moxin's strange gaze.
"What's wrong? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman? Zhao Zihan asked impatiently
"It's so beautiful." Li Moxin muttered unconsciously.
"What?" Zhao Zihan asked.
"No, nothing!" Li Moxin, who came back to his senses, immediately denied it.
"Poof!" Shangguan Jing, who had watched the whole process, almost laughed.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I'm late because I went home and changed my clothes." Zhao Zihan said to Shangguan Jing.
"It's fine." Shangguan Jing held back a smile and exclaimed, "You are much more beautiful than the team uniform in this outfit." ”
"It's not because I don't usually have time to wear it, so I'll find a chance to stink it out today." Zhao Zihan said a little proudly.
"But, it's a pity, you're not much more beautiful!" Li Moxin hopes to hide his true thoughts through ridicule.
"Women are pleasing to themselves, and they don't wear these clothes to show you." Zhao Zihan immediately counterattacked.
"Alas, it's going on again." Shangguan sighed helplessly.
"Alright, let's go in and have a walk." Xu Linfeng said.
Then the two shook their heads at each other and walked into the garden.
"It's still your clever methods." Shangguan Jing couldn't help but give Xu Linfeng a thumbs up.
"The trick is to seize the opportunity and immediately create a step for them, and they will naturally go down." Xu Linfeng imparted the know-how.
"Learned." Shangguan Jing responded with a smile.
Later, the two also walked into the garden together.
