Chapter 4: The Lost Past

A big war has come to an end. The three Forsyken mechs that invaded Saileng were all shot down by the Star Knight's trainee team and the Planetary Defense Force's air team. The Frasequin assault ship in outer space was stopped by anti-aircraft fire when it tried to break through the atmosphere and was destroyed by the Central Star Circle patrol fleet that arrived in time to retreat. In the official propaganda of the Empire, this is a very common Fosyken attack, but in fact, for the Imperial military, this incident sounded the alarm bell, you must know that the Sailian Star is next to the central star circle of the Empire, and the fact that the Sailian Star can be attacked means that the central star circle is also possible, and there is no pure land in the Empire.

And for the people involved in the attack, the pain endured is not something that outsiders can understand. Only three Forsaken mechs caused the crash of 20 fighters of the air group, and more importantly, only two pilots survived, and no one was injured. The trainee knights of the Star Knight Squad, including Miller, sacrificed 3 people, which can be said to be a great loss for the military. You must know that the person who can reach the level of brain domain development to become a star knight, even in the empire's population of more than 100 billion, there is only a 1 in 10 million probability, because whether it is using a neural connection system or a mechanical control console, only if the brain domain development degree and neural reaction speed are both up to standard, can the mecha be controlled smoothly, and ordinary people will make the mecha extremely bulky, slow, and completely powerless.

In addition to the losses of the Celenstar military, the civilian casualties were extremely heavy. In particular, the battle of the resort island in the sea was attacked without warning, and it was on a dense beach, and the confirmed death toll alone reached more than 2,000 people, and countless people were injured.

These are the official statistics of the empire after the fact, and at that time, the screams and cries of the victims resounded throughout the island, and Joestar, who became an official star knight who was determined to protect mankind, could not express his inner pain in words, not to mention that his long-time partner, Miller, also died in this battle. But for now, he can only bury these deep in his heart, because there is a strange teenager in Miller's mecha.

"I've called the Defense Force to come to the rescue, yo, boy, introduce myself, my name is Joestar, a member of the Fifth Trainee Team of the Third Brigade of the Star Knights."

"Hello, Lord Knight, my name is Qiao Yu."

"Oh, oh, Qiao Yu, you're doing a good job, little guy, I didn't expect that Miller couldn't do what you could do as a child." Joestar looked up at Miller's body in the broken cockpit and sighed. "I'll report back to you on this battle, you're still a student, right? The Empire should recognize you for your performance this time. ”

"Knight, I'm sorry, I, my parents don't know where to go, I'm going to look for them now."

"Your parents...... Joestar looked back at the bleak stretch of the resort island, "do you have pictures of them, maybe I can help." ”

Qiao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Great, I have their photos!" As he spoke, he pulled out a family photo of a family of three from the personal terminal on his wrist.

"It's much easier to have a photo, send me the photo, and I will tell the search and rescue team to notify you as soon as they find someone, and give me your personal terminal number." Joestar said.

"Then, knight, I'm going to look for myself in the crowd over there, and if there's any news, please notify me immediately!" Qiao Yu couldn't wait to get down from the mecha and ran towards the crowd in the distance as he spoke.

Qiao Yu's mood was actually excited, "I touched a real mecha!" Not a simulator operation! I also hit those aliens! "He felt like a hero. However, as he approached the crowd, his excitement immediately felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

It was a bleak sight. Broken arms and stumps were all over the ground, wailing, helpless, dazed, painful, crazy people, covering the road to the center of the island. It immediately reminded him of the blood and fear that had caught his eye not long ago. A sudden feeling of vomiting swept through the body. Qiao Yu vomited almost immediately, and all kinds of emotions that had been suppressed by adrenaline before emerged. It wasn't until Qiao Yu could barely spit out bitter water that he could barely control his nausea. A feeling of weakness emanated from his body, and Qiao Yu felt that it was a miracle that he could still stand here and vomit without falling to the ground softly.

After finally stopping his vomiting, Qiao Yu began to look for his parents in the crowd. Looking for it along the road, Qiao Yu's mood became heavier and heavier, and the children who were running around on the side of the road crying, and the men and women who fell to the ground. At this moment, the status of people seems to be equal, no one is noble and no one is lowly, ordinary civilians may be helping the security forces to maintain order, proud noblewomen may be left unattended on the side of the road, but everyone is a victim, can only humbly lie at the feet of fate, bear the pain caused by the disaster, the laughter of the past is clearly in the near past, but unfortunately at this moment only the melody of gloom and darkness echoes in people's ears and minds.

Qiao Yu found a member of the security force who was maintaining order, "Hello, sir, have you seen this couple?" Qiao Yu used his personal terminal to show his parents.

"I'm sorry, kid, there are so many injured people that we can't count the exact number of casualties right now, not to mention that you're asking about two specific people, sorry, I didn't see that. Maybe you can try your luck at someone else's. ”

Qiao Yu shook his head in disappointment, "Okay, thank you as well, sir." ”

"Dad, Mom, you must be okay!" Qiao Yu prayed silently.

He still had a conversation in his mind about the family not long ago.

"Xiao Yu, you're graduating this year, do you have any idea what university you want to go to?"

"Kid and his father, try to respect Xiao Yu's own choice."

"You know what? Now those aliens are so powerful, didn't Xiao Yu go to the military academy and wait to go to the battlefield. When the time comes, he will be a recruit and go to the battlefield, if there is a case, you will not have time to cry. ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'm so happy today, let's not talk about this topic. Let's go to the beach and have a look. ”

Dididi, a call came from the personal terminal on his wrist, "Qiao Yu, come to the service center of the island center, your parents have found it." Joestar's voice came from the terminal.

"Found it? Thank you, Knight, my parents are alright?"

"Well...... You'd better come and see for yourself. Come over now. ”

Joestar's words made Qiao Yu have an ominous premonition in his heart. He immediately rushed to the center of the island.

In a makeshift medical room in the service center, Qiao Yu met Joestar and saw his parents lying on the bed.

"Mom and Dad!" Qiao Yu rushed to the side of the bed excitedly, but was stopped by Joestar.

"Boy, they're still in a coma, the doctor is treating, don't come over and bother."

Qiao Yu calmed down a little at this time, and he saw that his parents were hanging ancient infusion bottles, motionless on the bed.

"What are they? Knight, what is the situation of my parents now? ”

"Well, let's go out and talk. Qiao Yu Kid. ”

In an aisle of the service center, Joestar described the situation to Qiao Yu, "Well, after you gave me the photo, I instructed the search and rescue team to pay special attention, and then they found your parents in a coma on the other side of the beach, and the doctor's preliminary examination showed that they were unconscious due to the impact of the blast wave, well, the brain condition of the two is not very good......"

"What do you mean it's not so good!?"

"Qiao Yu, you know, even with the current medical conditions, the brain is still a very mysterious area, the brain is impacted, there may be nothing at all, if it is serious, it may last for a long time...... "Qiao Shida tried to consider his words, "Your parents, after that, they will be transported to a hospital in a big city to use a treatment chamber to try to recover, but the doctor's judgment is that their brain is affected so that they may not wake up for a short time......"

“!” Qiao Yu listened to Joestar's words in disbelief, "My parents, will they become vegetative?" ”

The ears still seem to echo the ardent expectations of the parents, the words are still in the ears, but the people are no more. How many pasts, when I experience it, I only feel normal, and only after I lose it, I remember those who have passed away, how cherished.
