When Su Ruyu walked out of the hidden shop and looked at the gray-white dome and made up her mind, Lu An also walked out of the shop with two more than one-meter-high cannonballs as signboards at the door, satisfied.

He looked at the gray-white dome above his head, and felt that the light gray hue was inexplicably lovely, like the white belly of a fish in the sky at dawn.

He looked at the place where Su Ruyu left at the corner of the street, it was still empty, and there was no one.

"What did she do?"

Lu Anxin couldn't help but be curious, but his intention to investigate was not too heavy, even the closest people would have some secrets that could not be explored, let alone the "friends" who met in Pingshui.

I had to continue to wait.

It's just that standing stupidly on this empty street seems to be a little uncomfortable!

Lu An looked around in front of the two shells, but he didn't have a clue, so he had to turn around and walk two steps into the store, and asked, "Is there a place to rest near here?" ”

The honest-faced boss thought for a while, pointed in the opposite direction from Su Ruyu's departure, and said, "There's one over there." ”

"Thank you."

Walking in the direction pointed by the honest boss, Lu An saw a shop with a window facing the street.

"This ——, like a bar?"

Lu An looked at the dim shop, vaguely looking like there was a wine rack.

Looking up at the gray-white dome, Lu An was a little helpless, although these artificial light sources were soft and comfortable, they were a little annoying in some cases. On earth, even if the weather is gloomy, this shop with transparent windows will never look as dark and dark on the outside as it is now.

The shop was shaded by the shadows on the opposite side, and the lights were completely unlit, so you couldn't see anything clearly from the outside.

Lu An had no choice but to take two steps, leaned closer to the window and looked in, "Ah, it's really a bar, what the boss said is not wrong." ”

Pushing the door in, the crisp bell startled Lu An. Good old way!

Entering the store, through the faint scattered light outside, Lu An saw the layout of this bar clearly, except for this too dim environment, it was completely like an ordinary bar.

At the back of the bar, someone was lying on his stomach, probably hearing the bell for the entrance, and just looking up.

After a while, Lu An, who had adapted to the dim light in the store, saw this bearded boss with a sleepy expression at this time, and was a little surprised to see Lu An come in.

He hesitated for a moment before getting up from the bar where he was lying on his stomach and nodding to Lu An with a smile.

"Uh, have a bar, I'll go sit over there for a while. Thank you! ”

The boss smiled and nodded.

Lu An came to the window and sat down, looking at the street entrance he had just come from, it was still empty, and there was no one.

"I don't seem to have come at the right time, it's so dark here, and the boss is sleeping......"

Turning his head to look, Lu An found a big line of business hours in the corner of the window.

"Sure enough! It opens at 6 p.m. ”

Lu An looked at the brain on his wrist, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the bearded boss who was still dozing off on the counter just now came over with a glass of wine, put the wine glass in front of Lu An, smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Lu An to use it.

"I'm sorry, boss."

Lu An pointed to the business hours on the window and said, "I didn't see it before I came in just now, so I disturbed you." ”

The boss with a full face and beard smiled and shook his head and waved his hand, signaling Lu An not to care, and after signaling Lu An to use it again, he turned around and left, lying on the counter to continue the unfinished nap.

"This boss is really good-tempered."

Lu An looked at the boss who was asleep on the counter, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

By this time, he had fully adjusted to the dim light in the bar, and then the faint light scattered from outside, and he could see the wine glass in front of him clearly.

A glass of green liquor, slightly bitter in the mouth, with a refreshing taste. Well, mint wine!

Lu An nodded slightly.

If he was on Earth, I am afraid that a teenager like Lu An would not be allowed in the bar at all, and he would not have had a chance to taste the taste of alcohol at all. In the black market, the alcohol sold is either inferior and low-quality, or so high that Lu An won't even ask. Lu An himself is also averse to drinking, because it will make him unresponsive, which is completely unbearable for him who needs to be vigilant at any time.

It's just that Lu An is not a person who doesn't drink alcohol. The so-called prohibition of drinking alcohol among minors is actually closer to the original "Regulations on the Comprehensive Protection of the Earth's Water Bodies", which has never been a simple moral responsibility or the like, and there are deep conflicts of interest behind it.

He had also tasted all kinds of liquor at the instigation of some bad friends, and it was really only the first sip at that time. Because of Lu An's back, that bad friend will not be chattered about by some women with a strong sense of responsibility.

Therefore, Lu An is not ignorant of some common liquors, such as the green mint wine in front of him.

And now, when some things have become a thing of the past in his life, Lu An finds that some of the principles he adheres to in his heart seem to have gone with the wind, such as this principle of insisting on not drinking.

Am I being spoiled by some woman? Under her influence, she has unconsciously become accustomed to the existence of alcohol? But if she knew what I thought, would she strangle me with her overgrown hair?

Lu Anxin thought so crankily.

In fact, he did have such worries, although it was almost a joke.

I wonder what she's doing now?

Lu An looked at the empty street again, there was still no one, and he seemed to have to wait for a long time.

"Do you want to contact your sister now? But how can I tell her where am I now? ”

Looking at the dim bar environment around him, Lu An was a little hesitant, it was better not to tell his sister Anna that he was in a black market somewhere in the asteroid belt. If she had told her, would she have doubted that she had already started selling white fish on Ceres? That's not what I said on the spaceship.

Moreover, is my sister really healed?

"Forget it, let's wait until the network in the base is done in two days, and then contact my sister. It's been a long time since I've been around the organization, so I'd better go back and take a look. ”

Lu An hesitated, but still entered the "Heart of Shadows".

……

Next to Plato's crater on the moon, in the fortress of the headquarters of the gendarmerie headquarters on the cliff, the headquarters of the gendarmerie headquarters.

"What did you two do when you two came to me without saying a word?"

Schweiton glanced at the man and woman standing in front of him, and said solemnly: "If the two of you don't like each other, you can go to the base of the crater and have a casual fight, I don't have time to accompany you here to fight." ”

"Yes, Commander."

It was a long time after Schwitton's words had fallen before the woman standing in front of him spoke.

At this time, the fat man in her narration reluctantly spoke: "Yes, Commander." ”

"Okay, I'll rush back to the United Peak for combat readiness duty in a while, you two ......"

Knock, knock, knock –

Schwitton had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by a knock outside the door, which made him frown.

"Enter—"

Outside the door walked a staff officer.

"Didn't I just say that?"

"Commander, this matter ......" Although the staff officer who walked in saw the displeasure on Shi Weiton's face, he still said calmly: "You really should know about this matter for the first time." ”

This staff officer was the one who was stripped of his clothes by a fat man last time, and he walked up to the fat man and glanced at the fat man vaguely, vaguely angry.

"What's the matter?"

Schweiton's voice revealed doubt, he had already ordered him to have a meeting with the two captains of his subordinates, and not to disturb him if there was no urgent matter.

For the current commander of the Gendarmerie Command, even the outbreak of the second interstellar war of mankind is no longer an urgent matter, and it can even be said that there is almost nothing that can be considered an urgent matter.

His command, the subtext, is basically, don't bother me.

However, the staff officer still knocked on the door and interrupted his initial intention to order, which naturally made him a little dissatisfied. In the past, the reason why this staff officer was able to get his attention was because he was a steady and clever person, and this time it really surprised him.

The staff officer stepped forward, nodded on Schweiton's desk, and said, "This is the news that just came, you can take a look." ”

Schweiton lowered his head, his pupils unconsciously dilated, and he asked word by word, "Are you sure?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the staff officer on his side to answer, he waved his hand again: "I know, you go down." ”

"Yes."

When the staff officer passed by the fat man's side, he glared at him vaguely, but unfortunately the fat man ignored him completely, and just stared at Schwitton, who was trying his best to endure in front of him, a little surprised.

By the time the staff officer, who had been stripped of his clothes, closed the door, Schweiton had already slapped the desk, and at the moment when the desk was torn apart and collapsed, he had already stood up and walked in front of the two captains in one step.

"Guna, chameleon!"

This majestic scolding made the two of them unconsciously reply, "Yes." ”

"Pass my orders! I, Schweiton, want you to go to Ceres and bring that woman back to me!" ”

"The woman?"

The two looked at each other, and then each reacted, "That woman?!" Did she appear on Ceres? ”

'Yes!' One-Eye' has caught her tracks! She's right there, she's moved her old personal account there, and 'One-Eye' has intercepted her current appearance! ”

Standing in front of the captain of "One-Eyed" Guna and the captain Chameleon of "Mask", Schweiton made no secret of his excitement, and perhaps only these two captains knew the guilt he had borne since that defection.

That's a project that the teacher once started! The teacher didn't wait for the day when he saw the results, but it became a reality in his hands, but the day before he succeeded, the woman ruined their dream! She had escaped with all the hopes of humanity, and even if the Dragon's Tooth later brought back her corpse, it would not diminish the heart-wrenching remorse in his heart.

After all, he didn't want that woman's life, and if she could come back, bring that "hope" back, and bring back the research results in its entirety, then he wouldn't mind sparing her life, and even let her continue her mentor's unfinished business.

The woman died, but what she had taken with her was ruined, and no one can ever know again: humanity once had the opportunity to control its own destiny, but it was ruined by two women!

However, at that time, Schwitton couldn't say anything to the "Dragon Tooth", and although he was able to keep the "Dragon Tooth" team member to vent his anger in a state of rage, he still couldn't recover any losses.

Since then, Schweedon has buried all his remorse and self-blame deep in his heart, silently bearing another regret in his life. There have been several such regrets in his life, and he can only bear them silently.

However, now that he suddenly got such news, he still had a chance to make up for his past mistakes, and he was able to take back the "light of hope" from that woman's hand, how could he not be ecstatic?!

In front of those subordinates in the staff room, he was still trying his best to suppress his emotions, but in front of Guna and the fat man, he really didn't want to suppress it anymore.

Because, these two captains know the significance of this matter, as long as they are from the three directly subordinate teams, they will understand the significance of this matter! No matter how excited others are, they have no possibility of empathy.

Just look at the "One-Eyed" captain Guna and the "Kamene" captain chameleon, and see their surprise appearance far beyond Schwaiton, to know why Schweiton can't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"The gendarmerie, the secret service, the one-eyed, the mask, the dragon's teeth, and by the way, the melee team of the 1st Fleet, all have to be sent out. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get out, I would have loved to go in person. ”

The two captains couldn't help but nod.

"This time, be careful, be sure to bring back what the woman had taken away, be sure to bring it back! Do you understand?! ”
