Earth Federation Border, Lanling Defense Zone.

An Earth Federation saber-toothed tiger-class destroyer, moving fast in the dark starry sky.

In the command room of the battleship, Captain Murdoch and First Officer Wang Yuming all looked worried, and the rest of the crew members were probably also gloomy.

"Captain, who will do it? Could it really be the legendary ghost ship? Wang Yuming asked with a frown.

Murdoch shook his head lightly and said, "I don't believe that there are any ghost ships, they are just rumors used by enemies with ulterior motives to disturb the hearts of our troops and shake the will of the merchants." ”

Wang Yuming said: "But captain, this is the fourth time this month, even if it is a rumor, if it appears repeatedly and is fulfilled, it will be believed by everyone." ”

Murdoch looked at his deputy, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, as soldiers, we must always be based on facts, unless that ghost ship really appears in front of me, otherwise, I will never believe it." ”

At this time, the navigator suddenly stood up and reported: "Captain, we have arrived at the accident site, the wrecked cargo ship is on our right, please give further instructions." ”

"Forcibly break into the system, build a bridge, and at the same time the Marines prepare to board the ship." Murdoch commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Murdoch and Wang Yuming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling porthole, looked to the right, and saw a Flying Crane-class medium-sized cargo ship moored in space.

According to the database, the ship came from a company called Taibai Trading Company, which sailed the border Lanling area all year round, and the main cargo transported was consumer-grade electronic equipment.

At this moment, this Feihe-class medium-sized cargo ship was drifting silently in space, no matter how the signal soldiers called, there was no response, and there was a dead silence.

Murdoch's eyes were slightly cold, and he whispered to Wang Yuming: "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." ”

......

Bang~

A bridge has been established, with an alloy landing extension extending from the saber-toothed tiger-class destroyer connecting the battleship and the cargo ship.

Detection systems report that all equipment on board the Crane-class cargo ship is functioning normally, with air filters, gravity generators, and fusion reactors still igniting.

But it was a seemingly normal ship, and the life scanner didn't detect any signs of life, as if all the people on board had disappeared in place.

Wang Yuming gasped, it was too similar, it was too similar to the situation of the three spaceships that had accidents before!

The Marines rushed into the cabin of the Flying Crane-class cargo ship through the bridge, followed by Wang Yuming and Captain Murdoch.

"Warehouse safety!" The Marines in front shouted.

"A full-scale search of the ship! Don't miss a corner! Murdoch commanded loudly.

"Roger!"

"One group goes into the cockpit to retrieve the voyage report, the second group goes to the power cabin, and the third group goes to the crew lounge!"

The captain of the Marine Corps assigned tasks to his men, while Wang Yuming and Murdoch surveyed the cabin full of cargo.

Swish~

Wang Yuming lifted a canvas with his hands, revealing rows of wooden boxes under the canvas.

"It's a new type of virtual headset, and there's a holographic game console for home use." Wang Yuming read the mark on the cargo box and frowned: "All the goods are here, which means that it can't be done by pirates." ”

Murdoch nodded, but did not speak, but the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

Lanling Fang area is located in the border area of the Pangxin Empire and the Assyrian Republic, with changeable star field conditions and complex personnel composition, which belongs to a typical three-regardless zone.

A large number of pirates, mercenaries, black market smugglers, and spies of major forces are active in the Lanling area, and it is common to say that cargo ships are robbed by pirates, but all the goods on this ship are there, but the crew is gone, which is really puzzling.

Prior to this, there had been three similar incidents on the Lanling border, a passenger ship, a mining ship, plus a smuggling cargo ship.

The crew members of these three ships were all killed inexplicably, and the death was horrific, but the property on the ship was not lost at all, which made the Frontier Legion feel really incomprehensible, such a killing for the sake of killing is not at all like a pirate method, who directed these three tragedies?

Immediately after that, in the border area, there were rumors of ghost ships.

Rumors say that there is an old warship in the Lanling area, which is full of holes, and I don't know if it was destroyed in that era, and although the soldiers on board are dead, the ghosts are still gone.

Whenever the ghost ship appears, all the instruments and electronic devices on the ship will fail, and the surrounding stars will become dim, as if they have accidentally sailed into a thick fog.

Next, the targeted ship loses power and sees the ghost ship approaching step by step, but there is nothing to be done, leading everyone on board into despair.

Once the ghost ship and the captured ship approach, the ghost on board will invade in large numbers, slaughtering all the people on board, draining their brains and depriving them of their souls, after which the ghost ship will depart in search of its next target.

The military is mostly materialist, and cannot believe in any bullshit ghost ships and immortal souls.

But the facts are in front of us, and the successive accidents have shaken the confidence of the Frontier Legion, not to mention the merchants who are active here.

According to the customs report, in just one month, the total amount of goods entering and exiting through the Lanling Star Domain dropped by 30 percent, and merchants would rather take a long detour to carry out import and export trade from other star fields than through the Lanling Star Field.

"Report! The control room did not find out the situation! ”

"Report! There is no one in the power cabin! ”

"Report! The crew lounge is in good condition! ”

The news came one after another, which worried Wang Yuming and Murdoch, and this accident seemed to be exactly the same as the previous three so-called ghost ship accidents.

"Captain, look!" Suddenly, Wang Yuming pointed to a puddle of viscous liquid under his feet and said.

He lifted his foot, and a disgusting white liquid stuck to the bottom of his boots, and there seemed to be some less noticeable blood streaks in the liquid.

The liquid flowed from the corner of the warehouse, Wang Yuming and Murdoch searched all the way, and finally found a container, the container was locked from the outside, and in the gap at the bottom, there were lines of unknown liquid flowing, and people standing here could already smell the obvious fishy smell.

Murdoch's face turned pale, he took a step back, and then nodded lightly at Wang Yuming.

Bang~

Wang Yuming pulled open the handle of the container and opened the door to both sides.

The smell of fishy smell rushed out, and the tragic situation inside the container made the heart of the most daring soldier contract.

The corpses of a dozen humans had long since turned into bones, and they were poured into a transparent, blood-stained stinking liquid, as if a monster had eaten these people into their stomachs, digested them halfway, and spit them out!

......

When Jiang Xia woke up, he found himself in a medical room, lying on a white hospital bed with several tubes stuck in his body.

Know-it-all was by Jiang Xia's side, but he was already asleep, tilting his head, lying on Jiang Xia's lap, without snoring, but some unknown liquid slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth, looking naïve.

Jiang Xia reached out to pat the jack-of-all-trades on the head, and found that his arms were wrapped with thick straps, both arms, on his body, and on his legs, making himself look like a mummy.

Jiang Xia struggled to lift his legs, and the know-it-all felt the vibration, jumped up violently as if he was nervous, and shouted in a daze, "Jiang Xia! Jiang Xia didn't die, right? ”

"Nonsense! How could I die so easily. Jiang Xia said with a smile and a smile.

The know-it-all was stunned for a moment, and saw Jiang Xia who woke up, so he desperately beat Jiang Xia's legs with his two little hands.

"Badass! You scoundrel! It scared the hell out of me! ”

Jiang Xia frowned, it seemed that he was not lightly injured, and he obviously didn't use any strength, but his legs were like broken bones, and they hurt hotly.

"What? Hurt you? The know-it-all was slightly stunned, stopped what he was doing, and asked with concern.

"Well deserved!" The know-it-all suddenly gave Jiang Xia another punch, then hugged his arms and said, "Who told you to scare me?" Bengu... Master Ben must give you a lesson that you will never forget! ”

Jiang Xia was speechless, he didn't intend to reason with the unruly jack-of-all-trades, he turned his head to look to the side, where there was a row of portholes, and outside the window was the deep and dark space.

"Where am I?" Jiang Xia asked, looking at the nebula outside the porthole.

"Field hospital ship Weihaiwei."

"So we've left the Changjing Galaxy?"

"Well, a few hours ago, the evacuation fleet successfully entered our territory, and now we have returned to the Earth Federation."

"So the evacuation mission is complete?"

"A must!" The jack-of-all-trades eyebrows danced: "The major portals of the galaxy have reported on the evacuation of our earth army at large length, and also said that we have completed a rare feat in the history of the galaxy!" ”

"Within a week, we evacuated 3.5 billion expatriates from the territory of the Qingxue Republic, the largest evacuation operation in the history of the galaxy! Stunned the entire galaxy! ”

Jiang Xia let out a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said to the know-it-all: "It's good if the evacuation of overseas Chinese is successful, it's good if it's successful, please bring my electronic pipe." ”

"Right under your pillow, you won't take it yourself!" Know-it-all glanced at Jiang Xia.

"Isn't it inconvenient for me to have my hands, and I've got a bracket."

"Cut, for the sake of my comrades-in-arms, I'll make an exception to help you once." The know-it-all pouted and said, "Anyway, you are really a man, Chaya is a rare super martial artist, and you actually killed him, I thought you were not his opponent at all." ”

"Nonsense, I was meant to be a man." Jiang Xia stared at the jack-of-all-trades with his eyes, watching him clumsily stuff the cartridges into the e-pipe, this guy obviously didn't do the work of serving people, and with a flick of his fingers, two cartridges fell out of the cigarette case.

"Be careful, this is a Chinese brand cartridge, it's very expensive." Jiang Xia said distressedly.

"Smoke your cigarette!"

The jack-of-all-trades threw a fierce little look, and then shoved the pipe into Jiang Xia's mouth, almost smashing Jiang Xia's front teeth.

"I said, 'How can you serve people like this?' Is it okay to be gentle? Jiang Xia took a puff of his cigarette and complained.

"Contentment puts you! I've never been so nice to my grandpa! The jack-of-all-trades said angrily, she picked up a red apple from the bow cabinet, then clumsily peeled it with an electric peeler, and cut a small piece and stuffed it into Jiang Xia's mouth.

"I smoke." Jiang Xia couldn't laugh or cry when he was served by a know-it-all, but then his face changed, and he was surprised: "This taste... What kind of apple did you peel for me? Where is it produced? ”

"It's an ancient variety from the earth, and it seems to be called Red Fuji."

Burst~

Jiang Xia put his pipe aside, began to close his eyes, and chewed carefully, with a rare smile on his face that had not changed for thousands of years.

"Apples from my hometown, it turns out to be this taste, it's delicious!" Jiang Xia couldn't bear to swallow the apple pomace, reminiscing about the wonderful taste just now.

"Dirt buns, I haven't even eaten red Fuji." Jack-of-all-trades said disapprovingly.

Jiang Xia looked at the apple peel on the ground, sighed lightly, and said to himself: "It's a pity that I was ruined by you, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten something from my hometown." ”

The know-it-all rolled his eyes, wanting to smash the remaining apple on Jiang Xia's face.

But when the know-it-all saw Jiang Xia's cherished eyes, he felt really unbearable, obviously it was just an ordinary apple, but in Jiang Xia's eyes, there was a touch of affection that was difficult to hide.

"You care so much about what the earth produces?" The jack-of-all-trades asked, a little puzzled.

"That is, the descendants of those of us immigrants have not been back to Earth for dozens of centuries." Jiang Xia said with a wry smile.

"What about Earth? What does the Earth mean to you? ”

"The earth is home, and although I can't go back now, I will always know where my home is."

Know-it-all was silent, Jiang Xia, a person who had never been to the earth, cared so much about the earth, and called a place that only existed in his memory his home, which made the know-it-all very incomprehensible, but Jiang Xia talked about his hometown affectionately, which made him very moved.

"What happened to the kidnapped expatriates?" Jiang Xia suddenly asked.

"Of course they're saved." ”

"It's just that the damn diplomatic laws of this galaxy, there is actually a statement that diplomats are sheltered, knowing that it was the guys from the Pang Xin Empire who kidnapped those girls, but they just can't arrest them all and kill them, I'm really angry!"

Jiang Xia nodded, "At least we have lived up to the trust of the Federation. ”

Wanshi Channel: "You know what? You have more than 100 titanium alloy nails on your body, if it weren't for the development of medicine now, you would probably be abolished, and when you get to the Border Army, don't fight like this, and think about yourself in everything. ”

Frontier Legion?

Jiang Xia only then remembered that his station was not the Guardian Legion, in terms of organization, he was a member of the Border Legion, if it wasn't for the sudden evacuation of overseas Chinese, he would probably have gone to the Lanling border to report at this moment.

The world is unpredictable, Jiang Xia and the brothers of the Guardian Legion have just become acquainted, and they are about to be separated so soon.

"Mu Linsen asked me to give this to you when you wake up."

Jack-of-all-trades pulls out a tablet computer and starts playing a video.

In the picture, Mu Linsen, Jovi, Jacques, Doyle, Luo Yuhao, Ba Xinhai, Kahn, and all the officers and soldiers of the Guardian Legion wore straight military uniforms and stood neatly.

Mu Linsen was still so serious, he was facing the camera, and said very seriously: "Jiang Xia, because of the mission, we can't wait for you to wake up and have to go to other star fields." ”

"Here, on behalf of all the legions, I bid you farewell, everyone pooled money, gave you a gift, and wished you all the best in the border legion!"

"Plus, you're a real military man! A real tough guy! We are proud to work with military personnel like you! Guardian Legion always welcomes you home, no matter when or where you are! ”

"Take care all the way!"

"Salute!"

Thousands of warriors and warriors faced the camera together and gave a standard military salute to Jiang Xia, with extremely serious expressions.

Although Jiang Xia was a maverick and brought countless controversies when he first came to the Guardian Legion, when he left, what he took with him was the deep respect of every brother in the Legion!

Jiang Xia put down the tablet computer and looked out the window with a smile.

Why didn't he have a lot of respect for his brothers in the Guardian Legion?

I will guard it from now on until I die!

Guarding the loyalty and integrity of the legion, Jiangxia will remember eternal life!
