In addition to giving back to the society and providing assistance to veterans and war orphans after the war. The veterans of the 4th Battalion also had a bulging pocket.

Although it is true that many people have bought a house in KW27, a prosperous planet like KW42, and have found a wife. However, except for some people who went to other battalions that also belonged to the Fourth Mechanized Combat Division as officers because of promotions and transfers, most of them were still inseparable from their "iron helmets". The 4th Battalion is stationed in the starfield near KW388, not just to guard the emerging trading center of KW388. The men of the 4th battalion still have a certain "feeling" in their hearts that they cannot go with the war, and they are unwilling to leave their "home".

Having wandered in the stars for too long, they are no longer used to having a real "home". I can't hold a gun in my hand, and I can't touch the cold cannon#barrel. I can't find a bloody comrade-in-arms in sight. When the soles of your feet are on the ground, you can't hear the clatter of the starship's special metal. The yellowish shield is not visible overhead...... They will be insecure, they will not be able to eat, they will not be able to sleep. Qiu Xingyu's well-known psychological counselor friend Qiu Qiran did not even advise them to leave the "Iron Helmet" in the real sense, because this might aggravate the PTSD of the veterans of the 4th Battalion to some extent. It is a stress trauma response that occurs when you are in a state of war for a long time.

Although Qin Shuiyan's heart has always been bigger than the uncles around her, since Tang Yun met her, she has never been in a similar situation, *can go. But as long as the uncles of the 4th battalion are still there, this will always be his maiden home. is Qin Shuiyan's maiden home, then it is still Tang Yun's home. What's more, her mother has never left to go to the sanatorium arranged for her by Qiu Xingyu. Instead, he stayed on the "Iron Helmet" and lived with his father's comrades-in-arms during his lifetime.

After many years, the dinner of the "Iron Helmet" is still the same as when Tang Yun first set foot on KW388. The difference is only in the people, the food and the seats. It's still a strip of stools and tables. Qin Haocang and Tang Mu Feng Wan, Tang Yun and Shui Yan gathered at a table. In addition to leaving Tang Yun and his party alone, and planning to go to Beverly Eddie, who is dangling in the entertainment industry, several other biochemical clones are at the same table. The other 4th Battalion fighters sat along the table as before. It's just that there are fewer old faces and more new people.

Food ...... No more standard compressed protein blocks or instant noodles. Meat and vegetables are matched, and there are fish and shrimp on every table. Regardless of the variety or taste, these fish and shrimp look like they were sponsored by East Lake Dushi. But it tastes completely different from when I was in KW42 East Lake Building. The guys in the 4th battalion are poor and rich, and they can't eat anything light at all. The oil and water in making meat dishes are too big to cater to the increasingly "picky" taste of Tang Dashengzi. So much so that Tang Yun only ate five bowls of rice and two fish before he felt full.

Tang's mother Feng Wan has a lot less gray hair on her head, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seem to be less. The traces left by her rough life are fading away little by little. Like Qin Haocang, Tang's mother still doesn't talk much. Looking at Tang Yun and Shui Yan, the golden boy and girl, they just laughed from time to time. The smile fell in Tang Yun's eyes and warmed his heart. is different from Qin Haocang, who still has a serious face even if he is happy in his heart, and always "pretends" to be silent. Qin Shuiyan is more like the real owner of the "Iron Helmet". Enthusiastically served Tang's mother with vegetables and asked for warmth.

The "Peace Wheel" space station emitted a pale yellow like moonlight, which fell into Tang Yun's eyes through the porthole. In another year and a half, I will take my mother back to Iris and go to the holy mountain of Yarat to enjoy the blessings.

At this moment, the six-pupil mask that had been connected to the star area network suddenly made two beeping sounds. Tang Yun's brows furrowed.

Although he is the fourth brother of Shadowmare, he will hardly participate in the various activities of Shadowmare. At best, he's a bastard who takes a stipend for nothing, with the power of "abuse" of the Nightmare. Well, that's not accurate either. In a sense, Tang Yun is not the seat of the tabula rasa, but the pit of Shao Yuanzhou, the old man of the Nightmare. Because of his special identity, even the Shadow Nightmare did not dare to easily arrange tasks for the "Tang Great Holy Son". Tang Yun's powerful individual combat ability was completely useless within the Shadowmare, but his light structure and mechanical repair methods became one of the foundations of the Shadowmare Assassin Regiment.

Send yourself a message at this time...... Could it be that Yao Jingtian and the fish bones are not there, and there is a problem with Shadow Nightmare again?

There was no need to pretend to be a ghost anymore, and Tang Yun put on the six-pupil mask with a big grin. As a result, there was not a word in the message he received, Tang Yun was stunned, and only saw a short and vague video in his wide eyes.

Tang's mother may not know as much about Tang Yun as his father-in-law, Qin Hao. During the banquet, Qin Haocang and Qin Shuiyan both put down their chopsticks and focused their eyes on Tang Yun's masked face. Qin Shuiyan's sword eyebrows were even tighter than Tang Yun's.

But when Tang Yun took off his mask, he had a huge smile. He handed the mask to the water goose, and then the water goose also saw the guy with exaggerated movements, holding a thick cigar and puffing out smoke rings...... Wei Songping.

Wei Songping successfully proposed to Han Mengxue, and also got the incredible heart-shaped smoke ring......

Tang Yun turned his head to look at Nan Guoxin, who was eating fish heads slowly, "Old Nan, Wei Songping is getting married." Three months later, the second satellite of the Winter Veil Star, Jiang Muxing. ”

"You should tell them about this, I don't have much friendship with this kid."

"You've got to do me a little favor...... I promised Brother Ping to give him a small gift. ”

"What little gift?"

"S-class [Phantom Six 38] Type II!"

"Hmm...... What the hell is this...... It's kind of interesting. ”

......

When Savage Star K5 was in the group, the small rest cabin that Qin Haocang had assigned to Tang Yun was still reserved for him. After Shi Xiao returned to the 4th battalion, he also arranged for Shunzi and them to open up the two small storage warehouses adjacent to this cabin for Tang Yun. With a little adjustment, it became Tang Yun's own machine repair studio.

After dinner, he didn't go back to the rest cabin, Tang Yun took the water goose to his small cabin.

"I have a gift for you." Knowing that Brother Ping was about to get married, Tang Yun's mood was obviously good. After blowing his sister for a long time, in fact, Wei Songping can only marry one in the end. I can't compare with myself, a "winner in life". People eat grains and grains, and when they think of their three wives, even Tang Yun occasionally has a little pride, which is inevitably vulgar.

"But this gift is not suitable for staying on a military starship, and in the end it has to be sent to the art museum of KW27, where it is entrusted to be collected and displayed. But it doesn't matter, even if you send it to the museum, your name will still be on the collection certificate. Maybe I'll be able to give you a credit for it in the K279 unit. ”

"What baby is so mysterious? Still need to be sent to the museum? ”

"Look at it, it was actually snatched from the collectors in Donghu State when Baiyo invaded East Lake State. Later, the Original Sin Expeditionary Force attacked the Baiyo Star Field. In the end, it fell into the hands of the Holy See. I knew you'd love it, so I left it behind. ”

Turn on the lights and cabin dust removal equipment. Tang Yun walked to the middle of the cabin. Lifting the black cloth covering something, Qin Shuiyan finally saw the original appearance of this thing clearly.

An oil painting lying quietly in a closed glass case, Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night".

When he first came to KW388, Tang Yun saw Qin Shuiyan copying this painting. Qin Shuiyan is a female man with a literary temperament. Favorite things are nothing more than two things, Van Gogh paintings and Beverly Eddy's old films.

Looking at Qin Shuiyan, who was standing in front of the oil screen, Tang Yun gently pressed the combination lock on the side of the glass box. With the sound of sizzling and sizzling, the easel rises slightly, reaching the eye level of ordinary people. The lid of the glass that blocks the front of the painting is gently lifted. This famous oil painting from the earth of the old calendar was finally presented in front of Qin Shuiyan without any obstruction.

"The painting is too old to be kept long without the sealed protective box. Even when it is exhibited in a museum, it can only be viewed through this glass cover. As a collector of it, this close-up viewing is already a small privilege today. ”

"Of course, you know about 3D printing technology on Earth...... After my Nan Guoxin arranges the printing lathe, I will make an exact copy of the same one and hang it in your cabin. ”

......

Van Gogh's starry sky is very different from the appearance of the cosmic interstellar sky, which is the universe in the eyes of Van Gogh's inner subjective world, which is different from the realistic photos taken by the interstellar space station.

The whole painting is filled with inky blue night sky, swirling stars, and uninhibited brushstrokes and colors full of life.

The blue starry sky resembles a turbulent, turbulent current. What Tang Yun saw was not the insignificance of a weak individual in front of the vast universe, but the infinite vitality. It is the vitality that a person shows when he fights against the torrent of fate.

"It's a pity, although I took a course at the Faculty of Art of Songam University in the Northern Regions. But I couldn't read the painting after all. I even think that if the author is not clear about his creative intentions, no one in the world can fully understand it. ”

"But...... I still get a truth. ”

"This world is different in everyone's eyes, everyone is an independent individual, and they have their own piece of starry sky. Only when the picture in everyone's heart is different, will the world be full of life. It will also become meaningful. ”

"You can't be drowned in the sea of mediocrity, and you can't just take the world as real as you see it."

"For me, who always thinks too much, is always twisted and tangled...... I like the old saying on Earth, 'It is a sign of first-rate wisdom that a person retains two opposing ideas at the same time and can act normally.' (Note)

Tang Yun, who pretended to boast in front of his beloved woman, was quite proud, turned around and took the wine glass, poured himself a glass of General Red, and took a sip gently. He said with a smile on his face.

"Water geese, I think I did ...... Not bad! ”

......

......

Indeed, everyone has their own world in their eyes. Even if he is a puppet who has been deprived of his #self-righteousness#will, he can still have very "beautiful" emotions.

Walk through the vast star field, on the side of the Z0 star gate. The eastern coastal region of Eristar has a small town with a pleasant scenery and a humid and mild climate, the town of Sosyori. It belonged to the home of the ancient nobleman Romecios, the Eristar. In other words, this is the hometown of Tang Yun's most loyal Golden Holy Warrior, Rome Chios.

The Holy War is over, and the rebellion within Eristar has gradually subsided. The "pious" Pope Nero finally lifted the "burden" from his shoulders. As power is being hollowed out little by little, there are fewer and fewer "things to worry about". Pope Nero's complexion was much better than before, and even his long nails rarely cracked. The temper has changed a lot, and there is no suspicion and irritability at all.

At this time, the town of Sosyori is in the middle of spring. In order to "enjoy life", it is better to approach the Light. Pope Nero abandoned the papal temple in the holy state of Arat and dismissed most of the usurped goddesses. With only the seventy or eighty most intimate goddesses with him, he followed Romecios to this picturesque seaside town. Began his "indefinite" recuperation.

Pope Nero has fulfilled all the "wishes" of the Holy See from generation to generation. He was accompanied by beautiful women, with holy light on his head, and a golden holy warrior as a guard. What he held in his hand was the "General Red" who crossed the vast stars and was sent to his palace. Nero suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

Nero had heard the legend of the Comia Domain, and that "General Red" was more of a legend composed of hymns to heroes than to be used as wine. And ...... for yourself Of course, he is also a "hero" on Eri.

Accompanied by several beautiful goddesses, Nero walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the south side of the dormitory with the "General Red" in his hand. A goddess opened a curtain of drape embroidered with intricate patterns for him. Nero gently pushed the window open.

Looking out the window at the clear blue sky, the endless sea. Nero took a sip of his wine, not knowing how to express his feelings, and how future generations would praise his "merits". For no reason, he suddenly remembered a poem that Benedict had given him.

So he narrowed his eyes and recited aloud in a long voice.

"Facing the sea, spring blossoms!"

This is the end of the text of "Star Disciple", and here is an easter egg.

......

Twelve years later, Earth, an indigenous cottage.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy handed a bowl of porridge and naan to his mother, who was occasionally crazy and always talking to herself. Only then did he walk to the wooden door and carry the old shot# gun.

"Abu, come back early."

"Cut, what to go back early and come back late. It's a drag oil bottle, why is it so worrying? ”

"You haven't been a mother, you know what?"

"I don't understand? I've never been a mother, but I've seen how you've been hurt! If you listened to me at the time, how could you ......?"

"Shut up! That's my choice, I shouldn't let something like you exist in my world! ”

......

The mother was like a completely split into two people, talking to herself as if she was arguing with someone. This meeting has been like a day for ten years, and Abu has long been surprised. With a soft sigh, he strode out of his hut and boarded a brand-new quad bike.

Abu had no father and lived with his mother since he was a child. Not to mention whether he knew who his father was, his mother was crazy, and Abu lived to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and he couldn't even figure out his mother's name. But this does not affect the status of the Abu family in this cottage. Because since Abu joined the hunt at the age of 12, Abu's family has gradually become wealthy. How affluent? Abu's family is even richer than the owner of the cottage. For example, this off-road motorcycle in exchange for the "City of Hope" spirit, there is only one in the entire cottage.

But Abu had a peculiar habit of hunting, he was always a loner and did not travel with other young people. In particular, he rarely leaves early and returns early, often returns late, and even sleeps in the wilderness on Earth, a wasteland full of zombies and biochemical monsters. When I got home, even though my clothes were torn and messy, there was no injury on my body.

Of course, the neighbors in the stockade are even less likely to know. There wasn't a single bullet in the worn-out shotgun Abu was carrying!

"Roe deer, fawn...... What should I do today? ”

According to his usual hunting experience, he avoided the zombie hordes and strong radiation areas that he might encounter, and Abu thought to himself. He doesn't think so much about the quality of the meat as about the skin. Seeing that winter was approaching, Abu wanted to get two high-quality animal skins to send to the tailor in the stockade to sew a warm coat for his mother.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from his cottage, Abu jumped off the motorcycle and hung the useless broken shotgun on the back of the motorcycle. Just beef jerky, eating naan. While eating, we walked into the forest on foot. Abu eats many times more than his peers, and he has all kinds of "snacks" mixed with staple foods at hand to do anything.

After walking for about two hours, I didn't encounter a small beast that could eat or use. Abu thought something was strange. The area where I usually hunt is relatively fixed, that is, I change back and forth in several places. The area has a safe source of water, and there is no shortage of animals worth hunting on weekdays. Can be ...... today After a moment's thought, Abu didn't hesitate, turned around and walked back.

Either the zombies are coming, or other beasts are coming. Otherwise, this place couldn't be so quiet.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you are too bold, you will die quickly."

It didn't take long for him to turn around and walk out, and let out a beast roar. Out of nowhere, a mutated beast called the "Saber-toothed Tiger" by the indigenous villagers. A slap knocked Abu down and bit him down on the throat!

"Cut, I asked for it, I really deserve to die!"

Abu raised his left arm to block in front of him, and before he knew it, a thick layer of "bone armor" had condensed on his left arm. The mutant beast opened its bloody jaws but couldn't bite at all. Abu was not alarmed, and with a flick of his right hand, his fist was inexplicably covered with a layer of yellow mist. The yellow, misty thing quickly condensed, and finally turned into a large piece of hard stone, enveloping his right fist. Without saying a word, smash the head of this mutated beast on the head!

A thin boy weighing less than sixty kilograms rolled wildly with a beast weighing more than two hundred kilograms. With the help of "Bone Spur" and "Stone Hammer", it was really evenly divided, and the fight was in full swing.

It wasn't until the sun went down and the western sky was full of red that Abu stood up tiredly. There were bloody wounds all over his body, and the so-called "saber-toothed tiger" was also lying on the ground, with no more breath out.

There was no rush to cut and peel the flesh, or Abu didn't have the strength to do anything else. Sit on the ground with a butt.

"It hurts......"

"It hurts......"

"One wound on the left, one wound on the right...... It really hurts my little brother to death......"

While complaining, Abu, who eats a lot of food, still can't help the hunger on his chest and back. Struggling to pick up the naan that had fallen on the ground before and put it in his mouth. While eating, he muttered and scolded.

"Small, if it weren't for a complete tiger skin, little brother, I would have stabbed you to death with bone thorns!"

"I was covered in wounds and bleeding everywhere. How do you say I get back to the cottage? I had to be put in an observation cage for seven days! Seven days! He could not come out for seven days, and he was not allowed to see anyone. What do you think my mom is going to do? ”

In order to prevent some villagers from being infected with the zombie virus, the cottage will put villagers injured during hunting in so-called observation cages and house arrest for 7 days. Make sure they don't turn into zombies before they are released, otherwise they will be "disposed of". Abu had clearly suffered.

"Well, if you can't do it, I'll go home tomorrow...... With this animal skin, you don't have to sew clothes for your mother. Send it to the 'City of Hope' and swap down jackets with the foolish wandering spirits in the city...... Well, that's a nice thing, it's light and warm. But it's not resistant to scratching, and my mother is crazy. Get a canvas trench coat over her down jacket, it should be more durable. ”

After more than ten years, the spirits in the "City of Hope" seem to have gradually "lived". Although one by one is still glazed and stupid. But it's completely different from the half-zombie spirit of more than ten years ago.

I don't know why, the "City of Hope" has stopped attacking and suppressing the survivor indigenous cottages on Earth since ten years ago. Although no one is still allowed to enter their city, the "City of Hope" has opened several "windows". Barter with the inhabitants of various indigenous cottages. Cottage dwellers can trade hides, special food, minerals, and the like for gasoline, machinery, or ammunition to survive. In addition, the spirits of the City of Hope occasionally hand out tasks that are more rewarding, but also more difficult.

The most valuable thing is the news about the remnants of nuclear facilities, as long as you find the former site of a certain nuclear #weapon#weapon, nuclear#test#test facility, a message can be exchanged for many high-quality daily necessities engraved with feathers and wings.

......

Maybe it's because I've lived with a crazy mother who likes to talk to myself since I was a child, and Abu is introverted and not very gregarious. When no one is around, he can't help but talk to himself endlessly, a little like his crazy mother.

Leaning back, Abu lay straight on the ground.

If you look closely, the wounds on Abu's body are healing at an extremely slow pace. As he said to himself, one night's work was enough to completely recover.

At this moment, a human voice suddenly came from the side. The voice was low and hoarse, but it seemed to have some kind of magnetism that was very attractive.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

"Good sleep, good sleep, finally woke up. Boy, I have to thank you for this little rice bucket that can be eaten! ”

"Who? Who are you? Abu jerked to his feet, but the pain from the wound made him soften and he almost fell.

"I'm Felix! There's no need to be surprised, we've been neighbors for more than ten years! ”

......

Bowing his head in the direction of the voice, Abu jerked open his chest. The sarcoma-like scar on his chest actually condensed a small face the size of an egg! It scared him a spirit.

Abu has a vague memory of a danger he experienced when he was four or five years old. It seems to be a fierce battle. Something exploded later...... He was too young at the time, and Abu didn't know if the scar was left by the injury at that time, or if something exploded and splashed a piece of biochemical on his body.

Abu, who is sensible, is more inclined to believe the latter. Because he could not justify his ability to condense "bone" and "petrified" matter. The Earth is a wasteland covered in biochemical and nuclear contamination. Mutated creatures are nothing new. Maybe it's this thing that gives me some kind of special ability to "get rid of poverty and become rich".

But what he was sure of was that he had to keep his abilities a secret. Because when he first discovered that he had these abilities, his crazy mother used to use "two" completely different tones, "in unison" to tell himself not to leak this matter. lest the superstitious cottage villagers regard themselves as some kind of devil. Or simply be handed over by them to the "Kuba God" in the "City of Hope".

It is precisely for this reason that Abu deliberately goes alone when hunting.

"Felix? You? Are you alive? What the hell are you? ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's a pity, because I've been injured. If the body is incomplete, the memory is incomplete. I don't even know what I am. But I know that the answer must be in the so-called 'City of Hope'! ”

"'Little Boob', I know a lot about you! Your mother's real name is Tian Zhuxian, if you are obedient, I may be able to cure her of madness! ”

"Can you cure my mother's madness?"

"Hmmm! I don't dare to guarantee it, but I am not small. So, let's make a deal! 'Accompany' me to the City of Hope, let me 'eat' something good, and find my memory! In return, I'll tell you everything I know! Let's take a look at Tian Zhuxian's old problems, how about it? ”

"Words count!"

"Felix never lies!"

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"
