Chapter 233: Coming Home
Someday 2 months later.
Ike and Takerakotana were sitting in the dining room, eating around a table.
The same scene is happening here at the same time, in the same place.
It's just that there are a lot more dishes on the table, and the aroma is inhaled into the nose along the air, which is seductive.
[It looks like it tastes good.] 】
Ike stared at the charcoal-roasted beef on his plate, then reached out his chopsticks to pick it up.
However, as soon as Ike stretched out his hand, the chopsticks were picked aside by another chopstick, and he slowly raised his head, sure enough, it was a good thing for T'Aquila.
"Don't mess with it, Taquila." Ike said with a blank face, it is undoubtedly very rude to interrupt others during meals.
"Huh." T'Aquila just shrugged his shoulders indifferently and looked around, "Where did we come from?" ”
After that, she looked around, in addition to the three of Tarquila, there were also 7 people including Captain Mixiang, all of whom were gathered together for a while.
"On the question of this vein star energy reserve." Zhen Wuyu said expressionlessly, while staring at T'Aquila with an inexplicable gaze, and even Cortana beside her.
[Hmm...... There are a lot of competitors, forget it, let's follow him as a secretary first, I don't know if it will be ......]
With a calm face and a mess in their minds, Pisces' true nature is exposed inside.
"Oh yes, yes, it's energy." T'Aquila couldn't help but nodded, "According to your previous experience, these underground veins are quite rich in resources, and as far as the Gibbs crystals you have seen in the past are also very important energy, even if they are large road goods; As for Hill titanium, it is a very important rare material. ”
"And the FW2 crystal that you and Ike discovered before is also one of the country's strategic reserves." "This is the most suitable energy material for mechs and fighters. ”
"Therefore, the strategic significance of this vein star is particularly important, you must know that the energy shortage of our Zoomlion is still serious, of course, this is the current problem of all mankind, and it cannot be cured." Captain Mika affirmed, "So despite the sacrifice of so many people in the war for this planet, their sacrifice was worth it and would not be in vain. ”
A few soldiers, of course, were talking about national affairs.
"Is it worth it, maybe......" At this moment, a hoarse voice came, which sounded a little scary.
However, the person who made the voice was Wang Qi.
That's right, Wang Qi is not dead. However, the current Wang Qi still looks a little sad, and there is an extra vicissitudes of life, just because there is one less person around him.
Because Wang Qi didn't die, Chen Fei did.
At the beginning, in addition to the 212 surviving Zhonglian soldiers, there was originally a group of surviving people on the electric vein Z43 vein star, but there were only a few dozen people in this group, and Wang Qi was among them. At the beginning, in order to cover him, Chen Fei's flesh and blood body was blown to pieces by the laser cannon, and Wang Qi took the rest of the people to move around, constantly hiding in Tibet, and finally avoided the battleship's surveyor and miraculously survived.
Because of this, he saved the lives of dozens of people and made great contributions, and was promoted to sergeant. But Wang Qi would rather not be promoted, he always hoped that that scene would not happen, and wanted Chen Fei to be alive.
"Don't be sad, it's his fate." Seeing his students like this, Captain Mi Xiang couldn't help but comfort, "Soldiers are like this, we may die on the battlefield one day, whether it is being bombarded by particle bombardment, or being dismembered and eaten by that terrible monster, or being killed by some sudden physical inducement." ”
"Physical triggers?" Vasily's pretty face showed a hint of doubt, but it was full of calmness. It was a baptism of war on a massive scale and brutality, which made him frosty and looked no less than Cortana.
"It's like being on a mission in the universe and suddenly dying because of the explosion of some radiation stream." At this time, Captain Raikkonen, who was also sitting at the table, answered his question, he had already finished his meal, and was sitting on the side without saying a word, watching the conversation of several people.
"Or they were on a mission in the desert and lost their lives due to the sudden drop in temperature at night."
"That's exactly what you say." Captain Mixiang couldn't help but think of the night when the Dragon Scale V3 fell, when he and Lieutenant Colonel Petrov were walking in the icy desert, and they almost lost their souls. In this way, Mika immediately felt that Raikkonen had a very good appetite for himself, not as cold and impersonal as he appeared to be, just like a "genius".
"Humanity is so fragile." At this time, Ike had finished eating, he took out a compressed energy bar from the storage space, and then kept sending it into his mouth, almost one bite at a time, this scene was terrifying, and the few soldiers around him who were also eating were stunned, and their eyes fell to the ground.
A few days' rations for others, he took one bite at a time!
The key thing is that Ike also mouthfuls of "humans are too fragile".
As a result, many people's eyes couldn't help but become weird, with the meaning of "Are you still human?"
At least 16 years old ace driver, but no one has ever seen him.
Leknin was also slightly surprised when he saw Ike's appearance, but he looked at Captain Mixiang and the others, but they all looked calm, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to this kind of Ike.
"That's why we need equipment, human beings are strong because of their intelligence, we are not perverted creatures like sandworms, our skin is rough and the flesh is thick." T'Aquila snorted, and rarely said something philosophical, "If you strip away the soldier's protective suit, guns, and all kinds of weapons and equipment, he is just a human being with considerable combat effectiveness." ”
"Of course, our little soldier is an exception, he probably isn't a human, otherwise how could he be so perverted!" But as soon as she said a few profound words, Tauquila immediately revealed herself and began to laugh and tease Ike.
If it was usual, Ike would definitely ignore it, but at this time, he finished eating the energy bar in his hand, and raised his head expressionlessly behind him, "The guy with a dual personality is not qualified to talk about me." ”
"Dual personality?" T'Aquila couldn't help but be slightly stunned by Ike's counterattack, and then thought of her disguise to the stranger, "Haha, little soldier, your words are quite sharp, it's really surprising." ”
But in Ike's opinion, the smile was a little reluctant.
After some greetings and Kan Dashan......
"So, are you going back to East Point?" Cortana asked with a calm face.
"Yes, I'll leave later." Ike nodded, and he, Zhen Wuyu and the others began to get up and tidy up the rifle they were carrying on their backs.
Some of the regulations of the Chinese Union military are very strict, and soldiers even have to carry various weapons and equipment on their backs when eating, which is said to make soldiers accustomed to the battlefield.
"Ah, then I wish you all a nice trip." Knowing that Ike was leaving, T'Aquila patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget me in the future, little soldier!" ”
"No, it won't." Ike nodded at her, and then to Cortana, and then shook Raikkonen's hand goodbye before turning away.
Their dinner was actually to see off Ike, and for the whole of 1419, it was incidental.
"This guy is gone, and we're going to stay on this vein for a month of boredom." Staring at Ike's distant back, T'Aquila muttered, "What a bleak future." ”
"Look away, Taquila." Cortana put a hand on her shoulder, "Looks like we're going on a mission later." ”
"It's a bit interesting to go on a mission at night...... Well?! You don't call me by code name again. ”
"It depends, it's just a habit." Cortana replied calmly as always, but her face was like frost, but it made Taquila lose her spitting.
The two said goodbye to Raikkonen and left the restaurant before heading for another tarmac.
Their destination was the Dragonscale V3 plane......
After the meal, Ike said goodbye to the three of Talquila, and then walked towards the landing ship that transported them with Captain Mika and the others.
Soon they came to the landing ship and walked into the cabin.
"Elites from East Point, are you all here?" The receptionist in the cabin, a gypsy with stubble, asked the crowd, "This is a bit slow, everyone in the whole ship is waiting for you." ”
As he said this, some of the soldiers in the cabin glared at Ike and his party, apparently unhappy with them because of this. Of course, some people are not convinced by the reputation of East Point First.
"It's all here." Captain Mi Xiang immediately stepped forward, nodded at him and said, "I'm sorry, because of some practical processing before leaving, and I delayed everyone's time." ”
"It's fine." The gypsy was indifferent, "Now I can tell the captain to activate the ship." ”
After speaking, he opened the contact and spoke into inarticulate Russian. Just as the words fell, there was a sudden tremor around him, and then it quickly stabilized again.
The landing ship has already risen into the air, and a stable flight has begun.
Ike sat down in one of his seats, then looked around.
The cabin was a hall where the soldiers had gathered for the time being, instead of going to their training ground or resting place.
But the place was silent, and few people spoke. This is all the more obvious because the soldiers are from three different fleets, and they don't know each other, and there are many orderlies and medics.
Most of the three fleets remained on Vein for the time being, and only a few like them were leaving to get on the landing ship.
"Okay, now we'll wait a while, and we'll be back at East Point soon." Mi Xiang folded her hands, looked at all her students and said, her eyes swept over Ike and the others one by one, "This war season trial has to be said to be unexpectedly miserable, and even I am not sure that I will survive, let alone protect you recruits." ”
"Sir, we're not recruits anymore." Hearing his words, Mosin Nagan suddenly raised his head and complained, this stuffy gourd had not said a word since the dinner just now, and at this time he actually retorted loudly. The rebuttal was also refuted, and he also stood up, causing the surrounding soldiers to look sideways, and some even whispered.
"This kind of guy can even get into East Point?"
"It seems that a certain military school is also a little vain, and even the strange ones are accepted, but I was brushed off in the pre-selection......"
"So the East Point Military Academy is not as mysterious and awesome as you think, let's be a good soldier, sooner or later the East Point will explode!"
This stunned man has not grown at all, and the image of the East Point Military Academy has been ruined by this goods......
Ovsky couldn't help but cover his eyes, with a panda expression like a rampaging comic; And leaning on his side, Vasily was no longer cold, but had an expression of being defeated by this brother, looking very cute.
"Ah......" Mi Xiang was stunned by this interruption, and then he smiled and said, "That's right, you are indeed not recruits for a long time, from the moment you leave the dead space." ”
His words made everyone in 1419, including Ike, raise their heads with an interested look in their eyes, as if they were waiting for what to come.
"This season of war, you have passed the most brutal trials, and your three-month military career has maximized your potential, and your skills, weapons, and reflexes have surpassed many well-trained soldiers. It can be said that 10 years and 8 years of training can't even catch up with you for a few months. ”
Hearing Captain Mi Xiang's words, Zhen Wuyu couldn't help but be greatly excited, and a confident smile appeared on her pretty face.
Those who can enter the East Point Military Academy are geniuses, and geniuses happen to be prompted in this cruel environment, so there is still a lot of truth in the war season at East Point. Of course, the only flaw, and the biggest flaw, is probably the staggering death rate.
This time, the death rate of 1419 has reached a new high, which is much higher than that of previous missions.
"So you're doing a good job, don't be presumptuous, just said that you are recruits, it's just my tone of mind." Mi Xiang smiled and patted Mosinagan on the shoulder, making Mune's Mosinagan a little overwhelmed.
"In addition, your knowledge is now very broad, and these are all capital, which is beyond the reach of other military backgrounds. Take Balrog Flame Demon IA2 as an example, ordinary soldiers are so poor that they can't see this ace mecha in their lifetime, whether it's in reality or on TV, because it's a state secret, let alone driving. ”
The same is true for the Dragon Scale V3, but its level is slightly lower, and being able to get the SVD-EX48 Super Beam Sniper can be said to be Ike's third life.
"Thank you, Captain, for your cultivation." At this moment, Ike also stood up and saluted him solemnly. This is naturally for the sake of Kaspersky EX48.
He didn't ask much about how Captain Mixiang got the gun and why he gave it to him. He only knew that he owed Mi Xiang a great favor, and it was enough to help this instructor.
"Don't be so polite." Mi Xiang smiled at him, although this "genius" was cold and expressionless, he was still very good to his own people, as can be seen from his attitude towards the Czech female driver who went off the line.
"Don't feel like you owe me anything......" As if reading what Ike was thinking, Mika continued, "Just join me and find out the traitor who betrayed us, and help me avenge Synia's ......vengeance" At this point, the voice was as cold as an ice cellar, "Do you remember that sentence?" ”
"The Rising Sun Dog, the Rising Sun Man, and the Rising Sun Devil must all die!" Ike said this sentence with an indifferent face, but it resonated with a group of soldiers around him, and they also muttered this sentence slightly in their mouths and nodded their heads one after another.
In the 21st century, we said that we should forget hatred and have friendly exchanges. But this is only on the surface, but in fact, it is enduring humiliation, vigorously developing, and engaging in unknown small actions. It was not until the Third World War that our fangs were fully revealed, forming an alliance with Russia and the countries of Eastern Europe of the former Soviet Union to form a Coalition of Allies, with all kinds of means at its disposal.
After the nuclear bomb destroyed the world, completely eliminated those monkey sticks and all kinds of lazy and hostile races, and then fought desperately with the two old enemies of the United States and the European Union, and drove them out of the solar system, there is now Zoomlion.
Everyone was caught up in memories and reflections on history, and everyone in Team 1419 sat next to each other.
Zhen Wuyu was on the very edge, she leaned on Ike's shoulder, and fell asleep first. Vasily, on the other hand, leaned on Ovsky's right shoulder, and a crowd of people was squeezed together at an angle, despite the large space and seats in this cabin.
They were all relaxed because they were going home.
At this time, there was already a burst of light around the landing ship.
The wormhole is right in front of you, a dark and mysterious realm that the light of the stars cannot illuminate at all.
The light-speed jump is on, and the landing ship is quickly in the wormhole.
Soon after, it rushed out from the other side.
There was still a star system around, and everything looked almost like it hadn't changed. It's just that the light of the stars seems to be much dimmer, and the pitch darkness of the wormhole has disappeared.
The landing ship flew forward quickly, and soon came to the sky above a crimson planet.
It's Mars, and they're already home.
It took several days to leave Mars and reach the vein star, but it only took a few dozen minutes to return, which was naturally due to the effect of the wormhole, which allowed them to jump directly here through the speed of light.
