Chapter 19: The Source of Strength I
The War Office review lasted only two days before it was over, and Cecilia and a crew crew were allowed to leave the quarantine zone and resume their freedom of movement.
As soon as she received this notice, Cecilia impatiently went to the Air Force Hospital to visit Robin, who was still being treated in the intensive care unit.
Compared to the army base on Charon, Pluto's army base is already a complete city. Although military uniforms can still be seen everywhere on the streets, civilians in civilian clothes are not uncommon.
Normally, Cecilia would have stopped and admired the rare peace of the war years. But now, she has no intention of nostalgia, and almost rushed to the special hospital of the air base as quickly as possible.
Pluto's air base is located on the outskirts of the city of 'Stan', with a large helipad and a variety of spaceship take-off launchers. At the same time, the War Department's air combat brigade is also stationed here, sharing this well-equipped air base with the Air Force.
Just as the Air Force Marine Corps is subordinate to the Air Force, the Air Combat Brigade is an air force belonging to the Army. They inherited the various types of aircraft designed for flying in the atmosphere in the old era, and were mainly responsible for ground bombing, airborne troops, and transportation.
At present, the Pluto War Department has relied on Stan City to establish a complete production line for military supplies, achieving basic self-sufficiency, and no longer relying entirely on air force transport ships to transport supplies like Charon. Therefore, this air base has rarely had a real air force station, and has basically become the territory of the army's air combat brigade, which makes Cecilia, who is dressed in a silver and black uniform of the air force, extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
"Hey, who is she?"
"Don't you know? She is the heroic female ensign who led three transport ships to land at the air base a few days ago. ”
"It turned out to be her!"
"Hi, I heard ...... too"
Cecilia went all the way, and similar gossip filled her around. The astonishing, shocking, adoring, and envious gazes made Cecilia, who had received so much attention for the first time, blush, blushing down the brim of her hat and running into the hospital with a blushing face, avoiding the admirers who followed her all the way.
In the consultation computer in the hospital lobby, Cecilia looks up Robin's ward through his military number, but just as she wants to visit the ward, she stumbles upon Leona sitting on the windowsill in the corner of the hall, enjoying this rare quiet time alone.
"Sister Leona!"
Seeing Leona, Cecilia immediately ran up to greet her.
When the transport ship made an emergency landing, Leona, who was the military doctor accompanying the ship, was not quarantined like Cecilia and the others, but was transferred to the Air Force Hospital with the seriously wounded in the fleet, and was responsible for cooperating with the hospital's doctors to treat the seriously wounded.
"Come and see Robin?" As soon as Cecilia stood still, panting, Leona asked with a teasing smile.
"Hmm!" Cecilia blushed and nodded vigorously, grabbed Leona's arm, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is he?" Didn't I leave that day fine, why did I suddenly ......"
"He's so badly injured, it's normal for some repetitions." Leona flickered away from the topic and led Cecilia to the elevator: "His condition is complicated, but the medical conditions here are very good, so he is recovering quite well, you don't have to worry." ”
"Really......"
Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Leona's words were remarkable, but as long as she hadn't seen Robin jumping around, she couldn't let go of her worries.
Robin's ward is located in the special care area of this hospital building, which is specially authorized by Lieutenant General Aldrich, so all Robin's treatment methods are according to the highest specifications, which is undoubtedly a rare honor for Robin, who is only a mid-level officer.
When you open the door to the room, you are greeted by a neat, bright room. Robin lay quietly on the bed and fell asleep, while the device beside him displayed his body data 'dripping', and the mask covering his mouth and nose continued to spread the drug gas to his whole body through his breathing.
"Isn't he awake yet? How long will he be unconscious? ”
Seeing Robin's 'seriously ill' look, Cecilia's eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell down her eyes.
"He? Coma? Leona snorted coldly, suddenly kicked Robin hard, and said coldly: "Don't play dead, get up." ”
“……”
While Cecilia looked at Leona angrily, Robin suddenly bounced up from the bed, pulled out the drug mask on his face, rubbed his kicked buttocks and roared, "You damn goblin...... How did you find out? I didn't make any changes to my body data. ”
"A woman's intuition."
After Leona smiled secously at Robin, she turned to hold Cecilia's stunned little face beside her, and whispered in a warning tone, "Look, this man is a liar, you have to be careful of being deceived by him." ”
“……”
Cecilia was already confused by the scene in front of her, and it took a while for Cecilia to come back to her senses and ask in surprise, "Robin, are you...... How are you? ”
"Of course, if it weren't for her, I would have ...... a long time ago" Robin glared at Leona with resentful eyes, but considering that Cecilia was here, he could only hold back the anger in his heart and put on a smile and said, "I've been well for a long time, and I've never had such a good time." ”
"The wound in your chest ......"
"That wound has long since healed." Robin unbuttoned his collar, patted his chest and said, "The eco-tank here works very well, and it only took a few hours for my external injuries to heal." ”
Cecilia carefully examined Robin's body up and down, and finally believed Robin's words. However, she suddenly thought of something again, and asked curiously, "Weren't you unconscious when you were carried off the ship?" How do you know about the treatment? ”
"This ......" Robin scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled with a disguised smile, "Semi-comatose...... Actually, I was still conscious at the time. ”
Although Robin hid the true reason for his coma from Cecilia, he was telling the truth about his semi-coma. Later, after being pricked by Leona, he was not completely unconscious as before, and even his consciousness was quite conscious, but he lost control of his body, which made him look completely fainted.
And in these two days of 'semi-coma', the conscious Robin can be said to have been tortured, he can't describe the kind of pain he endured in these two days, and even those so-called tortures, now in the eyes of Robin, who has experienced two days of life and death torture, is just scratching.
It was precisely because of the resentment accumulated in the past two days that Robin regained control of his body and carefully planned this 'lurk', hoping to give Leona, who had suffered enough, a little color, but he didn't expect to meet Cecilia to see him, which made his sneak attack plan stillborn.
Cecilia was completely unaware of these causes and consequences of Robin, but her woman's unique sixth sense made her keenly feel that the awakened Robin did not put his mind on herself, which undoubtedly made her feel lost. And she vaguely felt that there seemed to be an unspeakably complicated relationship between Robin and Leona, and in the midst of such a relationship, Cecilia felt very embarrassed by her existence.
Maybe it was because the three of them had their own ideas, so for a while the three of them couldn't find a suitable topic to break the deadlock, which suddenly made the atmosphere in the room more and more awkward, except for Leona, who sat alone in the corner after entering the room, drinking and drinking by herself, there was no discomfort, Robin and Cecilia were a little like pins and needles.
At this moment, Cecilia's liaison suddenly rang.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to leave first. Borg informed me to go to the air defense base, saying that the supplies for the maintenance of the ship had been approved, and asked me to go and sign for it. Cecilia said as she got up with a red face.
"Oh, go get busy, don't worry, I'm healthy!" Robin had been looking for a chance to ask Leona what she had injected herself, so she didn't keep Cecilia.
"Okay......"
Cecilia silently got up and went out, disappointed that Robin didn't express her desire to keep her. The moment she left the room and closed the door, she glanced at the amorous Leona in the room with a complicated gaze, bit her lip hard, and walked away quickly.
And in the room, hearing the footsteps of Cecilia outside the door, who had gradually walked away, Robin immediately tore off the docile disguise on his face, got up and forced Leona, and roared with a hideous face: "You untrustworthy woman, what have you done to me?" Do you know how much I've suffered in the past two days? ”
In the face of Robin's roar like an angry lion, Leona propped her chin and gently stroked the mouth of the silver wine bottle with her slender fingers: "Before you question me this question, shouldn't you ask yourself how much benefit you have received?" ”
"Benefits?" Robin was stunned: "What benefit?" ”
'Phew' Leona threw the wine bottle in her hand at Robin, and the moment Leona threw the wine bottle out of her hand, Robin immediately felt the terrifying power of Leona's throw. In a panic, he hastily raised his hand and grabbed the wine bottle, instinctively trying to protect himself.
With the power gap between Leona and Robin, Robin had no chance to catch the flying bottle. But after a roar, although Robin was slammed to the bed by the power of the bottle, the silver bottle thrown by Leona was also tightly held in Robin's hand.
"Do you appreciate the benefits you're getting?" Leona flicked her fingers, and the bottle in Robin's hand flew away on its own, as if pulled by some force, and fell into Leona's palm.
"Telekinesis!"
Leona's hand suddenly made Robin's pupils constrict, and the fear of Leona in his heart became stronger and stronger.
But when he regained his composure and recalled the whole process of the scene, the sudden huge surprise suddenly made him look at his hands in disbelief and exclaimed: "My strength ......"
"The strength has barely reached the second-order level, and so is the speed." Leona stood up and pressed her slender fingers to Robin's forehead. 'Bang', the huge force suddenly made Robin bounce out as if he had been hit hard, and the alloy hospital bed under Robin's ass also completely collapsed under this series of heavy blows.
Seeing Robin staggering to his knees, Leona raised her eyebrows: "It seems that the ability to resist attacks has also grown a little." ”
"Damn...... Ahem......" Robin coughed a few times, and retreated into the distance with a look of fear: "I'm seriously ill, how can you do this to me, do you want to kill me?" ”
"I just want you to calm down."
"Ok, I'm calm, I'm pretty calm now!" Robin raised his hands, rubbed his dizzy forehead, sat down in his chair and said, "I'm a pacifist and I'm against violence, so shouldn't we talk in a more modest way?" Like what...... Do you sit down first? ”
"Against violence?" Leona sneered disdainfully, leaned her back against the wall and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer your questions before my patience runs out." ”
