On both sides of the Churchill Road leading from the base's makeshift barracks to the city, shops bent on pulling money out of soldiers' pockets.

It's kind of similar to Wang Hao's souvenir shops at various tourist attractions in the real world.

Of course, there are high-end products like duty-free shops, but in general, motorized infantry can't afford to spend them.

Since stepping on the front lines, the soldiers have been deprived of even the last bit of entertainment, and the only musical instrument allowed to be carried during the training phase of the recruits has been banned.

Now everyone can only rely on the photos they carry with them to comfort their minds and bodies.

There is a saying in Wang Hao's hometown called "spending money to relieve distress", and the pleasure generated by buying and buying is indeed conducive to soothing the negative emotions generated by the continuous fighting of the soldiers.

So the inhabitants of this place will do everything in their power to get the soldiers to spend their money on entertainment, snacks, music, and all sorts of other gadgets.

And it is obvious that these things are of no use to the officers and soldiers on the front line.

The vast majority are consumer traps, and the goods that soldiers spend a lot of money on are rarely allowed into the barracks without passing through the security check.

Not to mention bringing a starship.

If, after spending a lot of money, someone can get out of these traps, then he can still find the same satisfying place in the city.

There are also girls in those places, and there are quite a few of them.

These people who are grateful to the military provide many free places, much like the social centers of some cities on Earth, but their attitudes are much more enthusiastic than those of social centers.

The "refuge", especially its city, Espritusan, made Wang Hao linger.

Wang Hao felt that this place was too amazing, if it weren't for the fact that there were relatives and friends in the real world, Wang Hao even had the idea of staying here to fight the Zerg battle and ask to settle here at the end of the service period.

Of course, there are other forms of entertainment, but sometimes the results are not as good as they could be.

Wang Hao still remembers one night in a club that cannot be described in detail, when a table of motorized infantry and a group of pilots on the table next to it, not on the Roger Young, had a "cordial and friendly conversation".

Well, use body language.

The argument between the two sides was in full swing, but it was a little more intense.

So, just as everyone was gearing up for a friendly collision between men, the base police rushed in and pointed their guns at gunpoint to separate the two gangs.

The ending was quite satisfying, and there were no consequences to this incident except for compensation for furniture.

Apparently, the base commander believes that the person on vacation should have more freedom, as long as he does not violate the "thirty-one ways to get you out."

The climax of the entire vacation was the appearance of Navy Ensign Carmencita Bannis.

She is now a cadet pilot aboard the Roger Young.

Dressed in a gray-green navy uniform, Carmencita is incredibly heroic, with a smile on her beautiful face and a body as light as a piece of paper.

Wang Hao was lining up to go to dinner, and as she walked along the line, you could even hear the clicking of everyone's eyeballs as she passed.

Obviously, the breakup with Rego did not have any effect on her, and even gave her a new lease of life.

It is remarkable that she is not accompanied by anyone, male or female.

On this wonderful night, in the face of such a beautiful girl, if nothing happens, I feel very sorry for myself.

Before Wang Hao stepped forward to talk, countless crazy big hands pressed on Wang Hao's shoulders. By the time Wang Hao came back to his senses, Carmen was already surrounded by wild bees and butterflies.

To everyone's disappointment, though, Carmen may have just come for a quick meal, and she didn't respond to anyone.

There was one thing that surprised Wang Hao.

While eating, Carmen relaxes and takes off her hat. One of her hair in the movie is missing.

Wang Hao knows that many girls in pilots have short hair, and even shaved their heads directly. After all, it's not realistic to have long hair on a spaceship.

What's more, a pilot can't risk having his hair fluttering in weightlessness, which will get in the way.

Alas, I know that cutting my hair short is for the sake of hygiene. But in Wang Hao's imagination, Carmen's image should be long and fluttering.

But, you know what? Once you get used to it, it still looks cute.

The living conditions of the temporary barracks are okay. It's not very fashionable, but it's comfortable, and the restaurant is open 25 hours a day, and all the work is done by the people.

There's an extra hour here every day, which is really good, which means that Wang Hao has nine hours to sleep and no less time to play during the day.

Wang Hao wants to make up for all the lack of sleep since the wormhole operation.

There was no wake-up number, no lights-out number, because it was on vacation, and Wang Hao didn't even have to return to the temporary barracks.

It's just a hotel.

Wang Hao alone enjoys a room in the non-commissioned officer quarters, which is spacious and spacious, and is not disturbed by others.

One morning, when the vacation was sadly coming to an end, and Wang Hao had planned to sleep until noon in the local area, soap came over and tapped on the door of Wang Hao's room and shouted, "Act now, soldier!" Bed bugs are in! ”

Wang Hao returned to the ship.

Turning to a spaceship gunner who was closing the hatch, he asked, "How's the situation at the front?" ”

"As always." He said briefly.

"Okay." sighed, then turned his head to his boys and said, "Hurry up, cheer up!" Are you going to die in the girl's belly these days? What about the tough guy of M Company? Are they all soft! ”

"That's great!" The gunner said with envy on his face, "You guys have an easy time. Wander for thirty days, work for thirty minutes. Unlike me, I guard the gun position in three shifts a day. ”

"Yes, I guess so." Wang Hao answered and walked away, not at all like a guy who is full of negative energy, "Some people are born lucky." ”

"GI, don't brag to me." He shouted at Wang Hao's back.

There is still something right in the words of this fleet gunner.

These Starship paratroopers are like pilots in mechanized warfare in the past: a long and busy military career may only be a few hours of face-to-face combat with the enemy, and the rest is training, preparation, departure, return, recuperation, preparation for the next cycle, and practice, practice, practice in between battles.

Although one airborne landing is carried out, it is often several weeks before it is airborne again.

But the gunner uttered the word "wandering", which was not true.

Everyone's individual weapons and equipment need to be inspected and maintained, and they must be overhauled between battles, not to mention special weapons and special equipment.

After all, if the rifle goes off, it will only hurt one person at most. If individual tactical nuclear warheads are willfully detonated early because of inadequate maintenance, then "loitering" is not just a minor problem for two people.

The motorized infantry was constantly busy.
