Chapter 2 Departure from Space 3
At the end of the day's combat readiness duty, Xing Tian walked back to the allotted housing in the living quarters with heavy steps. The one-bedroom and two-living room space is quite spacious, and all kinds of living equipment in the house are basically complete, but it is very simple. After all, human resources are limited now, and this place is not here for enjoyment. After returning to the room, Xing Tian went directly to the bathroom and took a shower. As soon as he finished showering, Ares opened the door and came in with a big grin. Seeing that Xing Tian was naked and only wore a bath towel, without saying a word, he rushed up with a straight fist. Xingtian did not dodge but threw the bath towel towards Ares, taking advantage of the time when Ares dodged the bath towel, a step rushed to Ares's close, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to grab Ares's right arm, and the right hand retreated from the bottom to the top and directly hit Ares in the lower abdomen, although the action seemed ferocious, but when the right hand was about to end the lower abdomen, Xingtian retracted his strength in time, and the fist turned into a palm and pushed Ares out. Ares did a backflip and kicked his feet on the front of the chest. Xingtian stepped back to the right and sideways, and directly picked up Ares. At this time, Lisa, a female corporal of the Xingtian squadron, happened to pass by at the door. Ares came in and attacked directly without closing the door, the door was open. Attracted by the sound of the fight, Lisa turned her head to look in just in time to see Xingtian naked and ambiguously holding Ares. At first, his expression was stunned, and then he smiled at them with understanding, and helped them close the door. Xingtian and Ares looked at each other awkwardly, Xingtian threw Ares directly on the sofa in the living room, rushed out of the room and said to Lisa, who was opening the door and entering the next room; "Lisa, not what you think. We were sparring when Ares sneaked up on me and I had just come out of the shower. Lisa looked back at Xingtian, only to see Xingtian standing straight at the gate, still naked. He looked at Xingtian teasingly and said, "Squadron Leader, are you inviting me to join the battle?" At this time, Xing Tian remembered that he was wearing nothing, and now he was still naked. Immediately a stride rushed into the door, only to look at Lisa outside. Lisa said generously, "Squadron Leader, I know that you and Deputy Squadron Leader Ares are very good, very good buddies. Don't worry, I won't say it. After speaking, he entered his room without giving Xingtian a chance to explain further. Xing Tian scratched his head and closed the door, suddenly remembering that Lisa smiled evilly at him when he closed the door, and thought that she would definitely tell him about today's events after he was done. As soon as I looked up, I saw Ares lying on the couch and smirking at him, and immediately a hungry tiger pounced, while shouting to restore my reputation and my innocence. Ares deliberately made a gesture of resistance, pushing Xingtian away with both hands. The sound of the door opening, Lisa opened the door and saw the ambiguous movements of the two men again. He coughed awkwardly and said to the two who were "fighting" on the sofa: "Two squadron leaders, Commander Grove asked you to report to him. I have a feeling that the Commander may have to wait a little longer, though. Don't bother the two of you, you continue. Lisa turned around and went out, still muttering in a low voice: "The captain of the Xingtian Squadron is in such a good figure, and he looks okay, but I didn't expect to like men." The door slammed shut, and at the same time, the roar of Xingtian came from inside the door. Lisa covered her mouth with her hand and walked to her room again with a wicked smile on her face.
Xingtian quickly put on his military uniform, and Ares also tidied up the wrinkled military uniform that Xingtian had made, and the two walked briskly towards Commander Grove's office. When they came to the door, the two of them shouted loudly at the same time: "Report, the first brigade, the first squadron leader Xingtian, the first brigade, the first squadron deputy squadron leader Ares." Check in. The door opened automatically, and Grove was reading the papers. After Xingtian and Ares entered the room, they stood up at the same time, waiting for instructions from Commander Grove. It took about 3 minutes for Grove to look up and see the two of them still standing straight in the doorway, taking off his glasses, and motioning to sit down on the sofa. The two gave another military salute, then walked side by side on the couch, straightening their backs and waiting for Grove to speak.
Grove put down his glasses, looked at the two of them carefully, and said, "You two were both born at the International Environmental Monitoring Station and grew up together, right?" "Yes, sir," Xingtian replied at the same time and glanced at each other, not knowing what Grove meant by suddenly saying such a thing without a clue. Grove saw their doubts and said, "It's nothing, I'm just looking at the resumes of cadets in the military academy and seeing your situation." After saying that, Grove picked up his briar pipe, lit it, took a hard puff, and said to the two of them again: "Now there is an important task entrusted to the two of you, the task is very difficult and unknown, I wonder if you have the confidence to successfully complete this mission." Xingtian and Ares glanced at each other and stood up at the same time, one standing upright, "I promise to complete the mission, please give the commander an order." Grove motioned for them to sit down again, and said with a smile, "Why did I say what the task was, and you promised to complete it?" What about teasing me? Xingtian and Ares scratched their heads in embarrassment, and then looked at Grove with serious expressions. Relax guys. As such, our scientists now need access to first-hand data from space to facilitate their future scientific research and equipment calibration. I read your space flight simulation report at the military academy, and it was very good, so I wanted to send you to our scientists as test pilots. At the same time, we will also test our batch of space fighters, you should carefully experience the actual handling of our space fighters, and if it is possible, it is also good to test the performance of weapons in real environments. Of course, your space fighter has been modified by scientific researchers, mainly loaded with some data collectors and detectors for scientific research. There is danger, and you need to be fully prepared. Be careful and stay safe. At the same time, I give you a personal order to ensure your own safety as soon as possible in case of danger or serious failure of the fighter, and do not care about the set of regulations for the protection of the fighter and data. Boys, give me a safe return, don't be lucky, don't be afraid, if you punish me, I will bear it on you. Do you understand? "Got it, sir."
Grove walked up to the two of them, handed a memory card to Xingtian (now the documents are all electronic documents, paper has become a luxury), and said to Xingtian: "You are old, take care of the naughty little one, if he is disobedient, I will approve you to spank him." Xing Tian nodded, "By the way, you have to close the door when you are crazy in the future, don't let others see it, it's okay, go and prepare, just read the documents for details." With that, Grove gave them a bad look and turned to the chair behind his desk. Xingtian's hand holding the memory card was tightly clenched, and he looked at Ares viciously, Ares stepped out of the office, and then ran away, for fear that Xingtian would vent his anger on him.
A week later, Xingtian and Ares followed Grove to the Athena City Research Center to report for duty. As soon as he entered the research center, Xingtian saw Alice's father, Dr. Aron. Xingtian looked around at the doctor and didn't find the shadow of the person he wanted to see, and he looked seriously disappointed. The doctor smiled and said, "Come out, the person you've been thinking about for the twilight is here." At this time, Alice, who was hiding behind the device, poked her head out and grimaced at Xingtian and Ares. Xingtian instantly started and rushed forward. But thinking that the commander was still there, he immediately stopped rushing forward. glanced at the commander scratching his head and smirking, but immediately turned his head and stared at Alice without leaving. Grove then said, "I'll give you five minutes to catch up."
Xingtian and Ares hurried over to Dr. Aaron and Alice. Xingtian gave a military salute to Dr. Aaron and whispered, "Dr. Aaron, you are okay, we haven't seen each other for several years" Aaron smiled at Xingtian and Ares, and said, "It's okay, Alice has been taking care of me since I arrived at the rehabilitation center." Look, I'm no different from a normal person after I have been fitted with a biochemical prosthesis. Without delaying you, I'm going to talk to Grove, you young people. Without waiting for the two of them to speak, they walked straight to Grove.
At this time, Xingtian, Ares, and Alice were left, and the three of them hugged each other tightly. It took a long time for the three to separate. Xingtian asked, "Alice, why haven't you heard from you in the past few years?" Alice smiled and said, "When my father first arrived at the rehabilitation center, he was in a low mood and his condition was not optimistic. I was always there for him to take care of him and encourage him. Thankfully, my father managed to get out of the shadow of his injuries when he saw that many people in the rehabilitation center had lost some parts of their bodies like him. He contacted his friends in the field of biochemical research, and jointly researched and developed biochemical prostheses, which solved the various inconveniences caused by physical defects for many disabled people, so that they could live like normal people. When his father recovered, the coalition government found his father, and on the recommendation of a friend, he became one of the first space researchers. This space city and moon base were developed and built by my father and other researchers. Because of the form at the time, these were kept secret. So I can't communicate with the outside world. Xingtian didn't speak, just looked at Alice. Ares said mischievously, "Sister, you don't know, Xingtian has been trying to find your whereabouts and contact you. During the holidays, I also ran to the rehabilitation center to look for you, but unfortunately I couldn't find you. When I came back, it made me miserable, and I became the target of venting. However, after the violent training of Xingtian, my fighting skills have improved a lot. Alice tenderly touched Ares' now angular face with her hand. Xingtian smiled stupidly and said, "It's good to get in touch, it's good to get in touch."
"Okay boys, we're here to get down to business, and after the old time, you'll be together for a while in the future. The two of you were selected this time because of your relationship, acquaintances don't have to run in at work, and the current experiment is extremely dangerous, so I don't want to make any mistakes. Grove said. Xingtian and Ares stood up and saluted Grove and said "Yes, promise to complete the mission". "Relax, this is not the army, don't be so nervous, just like before. But my requirements at work are relatively strict, you know my temper, didn't you give me a nickname called Perverted Long? "Dr. Aron's constant humor is reflected again. When they were in the research institute, Xingtian and Ares were trained by Dr. Aaron. It was as if everyone had returned to the pre-war research institute. Everyone was very happy. In the days that followed, Xingtian and Ares once again experienced the perverted demeanor of Metamorphosis Long at work.
