A line of text is typed on the light blue electronic screen, and the cursor flashes.

"Please state your name, rank, identification number, and unit number." Clear synthesized electronic sound. He was a young male with a dull voice, no mood swings.

The bearded boss hesitated and said slowly: "Lin Chuan." ”

"Rank, Major General."

"Identity number, LM-T1001352."

"The number of the subordinate unit, the special tiger regiment directly under the LM-821 Supreme Staff Headquarters."

The subtitles scrolled up, and another line of red text typed out, "Welcome, Major General Lin Chuan." We haven't seen each other for 10 years, 3 months, 4 days, 13 hours, 8 minutes and 42 seconds. Your body is contaminated with 38 grams of dust, which contains 29 types of bacteria that are harmful to human health, three microorganisms, and six sources of fine-grained microorganisms, which is not consistent with your long-standing biological characteristics. It is recommended that you change back to good habits that focus on personal hygiene. It is recommended that you shave your beard, as a beard of 24.45 cm will make you look 20 years older than your actual age......"

Lin Chuan's mature and vicissitudes of life rarely showed a wry smile, "Okay, old man, you are still so verbose." I'm so dirty, it's not for you, you haven't 'bathed' in ten years. ”

"I'm sorry Major General Hayashi Chuan, I don't have an automatic cleaning function. Thank you for your help. ”

I haven't heard this familiar voice for ten years. After exchanging a few words, Lin Chuan's numb nerves gradually recovered, and his strength, which had been silent in his blood for ten years, surged again.

"Old man, are you ready to attack?"

"Yes, the systems are functioning normally and ready to strike at any time."

Lin Chuan's face was straight, his eyes were shining, his eyebrows showed a sharp edge, and the sharp eyes unique to soldiers bloomed in his pupils.

"Tiger 001. 30 seconds to prepare, the countdown to the attack begins, 30 ...... 29…… 28……”

As the electronic synthesized sound stabilized the countdown, dozens of energy dredging pipes and baby arm-thick cables plugged into the black mecha's body were disconnected one after another. The roof of the underground warehouse, the welded steel gate with a thickness of about one meter, generally starts from the middle to crack on both sides, one layer, two layers...... With a bang, along with the falling dirt and grass clippings, the grass overgrown with waist-deep grass cracked open five or six meters square. The harsh sunlight poured in. A flash of light flashed on the tall black mecha, like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

The countdown ended, and with the orange flames spewed out from the spiral jet hole of the thruster under his feet, the black mecha slowly rose into the air with a low roar, and a few seconds later, with a bang, a meteor shot into the sky. The huge black fuselage turned into a small black dot in the blink of an eye, flying in the air in the direction of the Andes.

Behind a clean glass window on the back wall of the Starry Sky Store, three bright and pretty faces are revealed. They are all young girls, one is Zhu Mei, and the other two are students who came to the store to choose electronic pets. The three girls still had the same palpitations on their faces, and their faces were pale. But his eyes were full of shining stars.

There was a loud rumbling sound in the backyard just now, the floor of the house was shaking, and several shelves of goods fell to the ground. The three girls turned pale with fright and screamed and hugged each other, thinking that there was an earthquake. But there hasn't been an earthquake in this place for decades?

When the riot stopped, a sharp-eyed girl happened to see a half-fuselage black mech peeking out from the roof of a warehouse in the backyard. Completely forgetting the horror just now, he stared at a pair of slightly charming eyes, and his slender white fingers stretched higher and higher as the mecha that disappeared in the blink of an eye moved. Jumping and jumping with excitement.

The three girls looked up at the direction in which the mecha disappeared, and it took a long time for the excitement to subside, but the girls' curiosity came up again. Her face was flushed, her youth was charming, and she chirped and surrounded Zhu Mei.

"Sister Meizi, this also belongs to your store, right?"

“……”

"Is that big black monster that rumbled away just now a mecha?"

“……”

"How did this thing fly out of your backyard? Who's driving? Have you seen this before? Have you been hiding underground? ”

"......" Zhu Mei was in a daze, her head was chaotic, and she didn't hear what the two chirping girls in front of her were talking about.

The boss went to the back just now, could it be him the driver in that mecha? Isn't he the owner of an electronics store? How can there be a mech? What is his identity......

The boss is very mysterious, he hides such a big secret in his heart, but he has never mentioned it to her. The boss still treats her as an outsider. The delicate and fragile girl has a sensitive mind, feels that she has been neglected, her eyes are dim, and she begins to suffer from gains and losses. She doesn't care about any secrets, what she cares about is whether there is a place for her in the boss's heart.

……

"Fat man, fat man, give you good things, it's very exciting." Qiuqiu, who had not been seen since waking up in the morning, suddenly flew into the command car from outside, shouting in a crisp childlike voice with milk like a six- or seven-year-old boy.

I didn't even look at it, and slapped the ball away. The fat man squatting barefoot in a chair sweated profusely in front of the computer. His eyes are bright, he is already close to the truth of the matter, and I believe that he will soon be able to reveal the true face of the painted skin ghost.

The sound of crackling and tapping on the keyboard is like rain hitting plantains. Dense and compact. I saw dozens of fingers flying between the keyboards. Because the fat man is born with super hands-on speed, so the hands-on ability is extremely strong, as long as it is a job that requires fingers to do, the process has a very strong ornamentality, and the speed is appalling.

He muttered, "Soon, soon, I'm going to expose your true colors right away and see what the hell you're doing?" ”

"Fat man, stop it, it's not so troublesome, I'll tell you what's going on!"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, paused the movement in his hand, and turned his head to look at Qiuqiu suspiciously, "You? Wait a minute, but tell me what you've been doing for so long. I look for you everywhere and I don't see anyone. ”

Qiuqiu flew around the fat man twice, and said, "Evade the ticket and get on the bus, and go to the mountains with the beautiful sisters." ”

The fat man understood, and when the eldest lady and the others set off, they didn't know whose mecha they were glued to, and they followed everyone to the Andes. Said with a smile: "Picking? Want to be an artist? ”

"Fart artist, Qiuqiu's hard work is not for you, fat man? Don't be stupid and stupid, it's data collection. It's rare to encounter a fierce mecha competition, as your most professional and responsible assistant, how can you miss this opportunity...... Okay, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I'm going to show you something exciting. ”

"If you want to show me, take it out and see."

The ball turned, found a slightly empty place in the carriage, flew over, and then the blue light curtain of the two electronic eyes radiated to form a holographic projection nearly a meter square in the air.

I thought it was something new, just some pictures of dead people who were picked up from the Internet to scare children. Although it was bloody enough, the fat man was sixteen years old and was not among the people who were scared. And I've seen quite a few similar pictures before. It's long been strange. And this kind of picture is ugly, bloody and hula, and it is easy to have nightmares at night after watching too much.

He waved his hand happily, "Put it away, it's all some mess, fat man, my guts are cast in steel and iron, and it's strong, you can't scare me." Download fewer of these unhealthy pictures in the future. Delete it when you have time to go back. As he spoke, he had to go back to the unfinished business.

Qiuqiu was in a hurry, and his voice became sharp, "I said fatty, you should look carefully?" This is the Andes, and those who died were your alumni, your classmates! ”

"What did you say?" The fat man, who didn't react for a while, thought that Qiuqiu was joking with him. His face sank. It's not a good joke. Qiuqiu learned badly, and he learned a lesson.

Qiuqiu widened the holographic projection, enlarged the picture, and said: "Stupid fat man, take a good look, these people who died are all students of the Mecha Academy, and those bombed mecha are also mecha used in the competition." ”

The fat man looked at the ball in a daze, and he didn't feel any pain when he fell backwards with a chair, and a bag the size of a pigeon's egg came out of the back of his head. When he got up, his face was pale, and his blood faded. His lips trembled, and his gaze looked at the holographic projection again. The ball is changed frame by frame. There are more than a dozen of them, there are the wreckage of mecha that exploded, and more are corpses. They all died miserably, as if their necks were broken.

The fat man involuntarily touched his neck. Feeling that it is difficult to breathe.

"Ball...... Qiuqiu, were they all killed? ”

"Yes. They also robbed the students' mechs and equipped them with real weapons and equipment. He is currently hunting in the Andes like a wolf dog and a rabbit. Pretty sister, they are in danger, so I hurried back to you for help. ”

The fat man was stunned again, then his face was swollen/red, his cheeks twitched, and he roared angrily: "What are you looking for me? What's the use of looking for me? You should go to the police, to the military, to teachers, to adults. I'm still a kid, and I can't fight, so that's murder? Do you understand killing? Just like that, as soon as I twisted it, my neck was twisted and broken. Looking for my help? Heh, ha, that's not the same as going to die? The fat man trembled with excitement, and the fat trembled.

"Fat man, fat man, calm down, don't get excited. Although you can't fight, you have been exercising since you were ten years old, and you can carry 200 pounds of metal parts. You are fat, but you are in good physical condition. The indicators are absolutely beyond the average person. Don't forget, I'll check you up regularly every month. Your body data has been stored in my database since you were ten years old. And you have a natural super-fast hands. Gifted, you are a natural good pilot, a natural mecha warrior. Beautiful sister, they are in danger, and you have the potential to save people, fatty, are you really not going? ”

The fat man's head shook like a rattle, the fat on his face/son shook from side to side, his body couldn't help but retreat, he tripped over the chair he fell, and fell to the ground again. The bag that had just been knocked up on the back of the head was knocked again. This time I felt pain. But there was not the slightest pain on his face. His heart was in a mess, and his heart was pounding.

The ball makes sense, but it's a machine. Although semi-intelligent, the simulated personality is similar to that of humans, gags, laughter, scolding, sadness, pain, and happiness, and all kinds of emotions that humans have will be expressed in an extremely humane manner, and there is no obstacle to human and machine communication. But after all, it is not a real person, and it does not understand what real fear is. I don't understand how difficult it is to make a trade-off when faced with extreme danger in the face of life and death. The chasm between fear and bravery is difficult to cross.

And Qiuqiu was still pressing step by step, "Fatty, there's no time, do you really decide to let go?" Pretty sisters, they're all going to die, huh? Surely you will not regret it in the future? ”
