CHAPTER XXVIII
Tang Long blocked the door, looked at the prison guard badge on Shen Jin's arm before saying coldly: "I seem to have only punished you once for offending me when I came to the Skeleton Military Region. I didn't expect you to hold such a grudge, not only did you deliberately turn into a prison guard, but also brought a few ensigns who were eliminated in the selection of the base to come along. ”
Shen Jin saw a second lieutenant lying on the ground behind Tang Long, raised his head slightly, and glanced at him. He was so relieved that he approached the chair next to him and shouted, "That's right! I'm just holding a grudge! You guys made a fool of me at the airport, and I couldn't hold my head up in front of the recruits! These brothers are all because of you, a dead pervert, who beat them in the ring and not only disqualified but also hospitalized for two weeks, if it weren't for the lack of prison guards, the entire 45th company of the second lieutenant would have come in! ”
Tang Long suddenly jumped up when he heard this, and stomped on the hands of the second lieutenant who was about to secretly grab his feet and neck. As the lieutenant screamed, he slammed on his head, giving him a fierce kiss to the floor.
At the same time, Shen Jin had already picked up a chair and pounced, Tang Long flashed sideways, and hit Shen Jin's waist with a punch, making Shen Jin bend down in pain.
Tang Long slammed Shen into the stomach with his knee, and only after knocking him down did he say angrily: "Fuck! You still have a reason, if they hadn't surrounded me and attacked me at that time, would I have been so ruthless? Damn it! It must be your bullshit backer, Shen said, this Wang Ba ordered them to give me a good look. You are like robbers, who blame the robbers for resisting instead of grabbing something! Fuck, if I don't resist, I'm still in the hospital! ”
The more Tang Long spoke, the more angry he became, because of those ensigns, he became a loner in the 45th Company, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes. It seems that he shouldn't teach them a lesson, but he should be beaten by the group and lie on the hospital bed!
Tang Long stepped on Shen Jin hard, gritted his teeth and said, "You were discussing what to do with me just now?" You think I didn't hear it! Tell you, I won't let the person who provokes Lao Tzu have a good time! As he spoke, he quickly grabbed Shen Jin's hand and twisted it hard, and the clicking sound accompanied by the scream resounded throughout the entire medical room. The old military doctor couldn't help but be frightened, but he didn't expect that this second lieutenant, who was still in the role of being bullied just now, not only reversed, but was even more ferocious than the five second lieutenants.
After Tang Long twisted Shen Jin's hand, he also picked up the chair and broke Shen Jin's leg fiercely, and then kicked Shen Jin's ribs a few times with his foot. Shen Jin had already fainted when his hand was broken, otherwise he might have made an inhuman voice in the face of the subsequent encounter. The old military doctor who stayed in the corner watched Tang Long use this punishment on the other four ensigns.
After Tang Long crippled everyone, he clapped his palms, picked up his military uniform and put it on next to the treatment box. When he saw the old military doctor running to check the injuries of the five people, he couldn't help but ask, "How long will they have to be treated?" Can you help me treat my broken rib first? ”
Hearing this, the old military doctor was stunned for a while before swallowing his saliva and saying as he walked over, "Uh, okay. That one...... According to normal treatment, they will have to lie down for at least a month before they can recover. ”
When he came to Tang Long's side, he didn't dare to look at Tang Long's appearance, but after checking Tang Long's body, he kept rubbing his hands and said, "Please stand here and receive radiation treatment, it will be fine in a few days." "The old military doctor didn't dare to face this person who couldn, and he didn't hesitate to break someone's arm, break someone's leg bones, and kick someone else's ribs.
Tang Long took off the half-worn clothes, came to stand in front of the instrument pointed by the old military doctor, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm cruel?" ”
The old military doctor was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head, pretending to be checking the instrument, but he knew what he was thinking by looking at his trembling body. Tang Long saw the old military doctor's movements, sighed and said, "I believe you also heard what they are going to do with me just now, if I don't let them lie down for a month, I will be on guard against them every day." And I'll be out a month later, and I'll settle accounts with them then! ”
Hearing these murderous words, the old military doctor's body shook suddenly, but he also felt that Tang Long was right, if they weren't allowed to lie down for a month, maybe Tang Long would be insulted one day.
After treating the broken ribs with laser light, Tang Long asked while getting dressed, "Old man, are you so old, have you ever seen such a beating of a prisoner?" ”
The old military doctor nodded and said, "I have seen it countless times, but it was during this time that I was busy with pre-war preparations, and there were no prisoners here, so I was quiet here for a while." ”
Tang Long asked puzzledly: "So, these guys who were originally regular soldiers actually got information and transferred to be prison guards a few days after I came in, and none of the other prison guards appeared when they beat me, is this related to the rampant abuse of power?" Is the army so dark? ”
Hearing this, the old military doctor smiled and shook his head and said: "The years of peace have been too long, and all people are obsessed with power. Political axe officials trade small power for big power, while the military uses violence to gain power. In short, it's easy to understand that you think of the officers in the military as the federal axe, and it's not surprising that they do these things. ”
When Tang Long wanted to say something, the door of the medical room was opened, and the big-bellied major walked in nervously with the two captains and a few prison guards holding electric batons.
The big-bellied major couldn't help frowning when he saw the person lying on the ground, and he snorted coldly: "What's the matter? Tang Long, why are you here, these people are beaten by you, come on, arrest this prisoner who attacked the police! The next few interrogations were supposed to be interrogative sentences, but Tang Long sounded like an affirmative sentence.
When those prison guards were about to pounce forward, Tang Long shouted: "Slow! When everyone was stunned, Tang Long said slowly: "Young Principal, why am I here, and why are these people lying on the ground, I believe you know better than me." I will not excuse my attack on the police, but I will say that I was personally ordered by the gendarmes on the orders of Lieutenant General Soss, the supreme commander of the military district, and that I am an officer who has been temporarily detained here without trial. By the way, I am a lieutenant who has made great achievements for violating military orders, and my rank of lieutenant was promoted by the order of Admiral Gu Ao, the commander-in-chief of the galaxy of the Bone Dragon Cloud Group Army, before violating military orders. ”
Tang Long said that these truths were said in a proud tone at this time, giving it a threatening flavor. Seeing that the major's face was blue and white for a while, and beads of sweat began to appear on his fat face, Tang Long was overjoyed, he knew that he had bluffed this prison warden.
Hearing Tang Long's words, and thinking that he had received an order from the headquarters to personally accept prisoners, he couldn't help but regret that he agreed to help Shen Jin without understanding Tang Long's details. The major suddenly remembered what if Tang Long lied to himself?
But before he could think about it, he immediately thought what if what Tang Long said was true? Receiving the attention of the two super commanders and making great contributions, he is definitely likely to jump a few levels in a row and become a higher-ranking officer than himself. And even if it weren't, if the two commanders questioned him and he said a few bad things about himself, wouldn't he be unlucky?
The prison guards with electric batons, although they don't know how the chief decides, they themselves know how to analyze the situation. When they were thinking about it, their own decisions had already been decided, didn't they all secretly turn off the power of the electric baton?
The major soon realized that no matter whether what Tang Long said was true or not, it was better not to offend him. With his decision, a smile appeared on his face again, and the sweat disappeared. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang Long, I apologize to you for your recklessness just now. Of course, you also know that it is difficult for those of us who are subordinates to do it, you see if you are back to ......" Seeing the appearance of the commander, the prison guards immediately put away their electric batons smartly, and the two captains standing behind the major immediately put on smiling faces.
Tang Long nodded and smiled: "This is natural, of course I will go back to my cell." How about finding a brother to show me the way? ”
"No problem. Corporal, don't send Mr. Tang Long back to his dormitory! The major nodded with a smile and immediately shouted at a prison guard, and at the same time nodded to Tang Long and said, "You go slowly, I'll ask someone to tidy up the room for you later." ”
Lying on the soft and warm quilt, looking at the new equipment around him, Tang Long felt the benefits of power for the first time. When he said the names of the two senior officials, he deliberately said them as if they were related. In this way, the major not only did not pursue the problem of beating, but also increased the treatment he enjoyed by dozens of levels.
Tang Long looked at the delicious food in the fine food box on the beautiful desk, thought about the junk food he ate not long ago, and couldn't help but sigh: "Power is really a good thing!" ”
However, this kind of good treatment began to disappear after Tang Long was still not tried for a month, and the irritable Tang Long was not in the mood to care about these things.
Originally, at the beginning, Tang Long was still dreaming of being promoted all day long, but for so long, no one came to mention that he went to the military court for questioning, and no one talked to him.
For the first time, he began to think about the things he had encountered when he was a soldier from beginning to end, and he would giggle when he thought of happy things, and he would sigh bored when he thought of boring things. Now he remembered that in the last battle, when he decided to refuse the emperor's surrender, he was ready to go to court-martial.
That's because he knew that there was only one result of surrendering the Imperial Praetorian Guard with a secret mission, and that was to destroy the mouth. Although he was likely to be sentenced to death by going to a military court, he was able to destroy the enemy's vanguard and support him for an hour before escaping.
According to the order of the general Gu Ao, he has completed the task of resisting the enemy army for an hour, which can at least have a place to maneuver, unlike a dead end after surrendering to the enemy army. That's why he fled with all his might as soon as he eliminated some enemies, and now it seems that his judgment was right, otherwise he would have been executed as soon as he got off the battleship, and where would he use a military court.
Thinking of this, Tang Long couldn't help but think of those soldiers who surrendered, their fate may have been decided after he fled. Tang Long, who was originally full of pride, began to darken his face. Tang Long couldn't help but think that if they were willing to obey his orders and attack the enemy again, it would be impossible for them to return here like him after completing the blocking mission? It is a pity that they believe that they have lied to them, refuse to accept their commands, and turn their guns to chase after them, abandoning their only chance of survival.
In fact, there was nothing he could do to deceive them at the beginning, otherwise, he understood the balance of power between the two sides very well, and at the same time vaguely felt that the country abandoned him, and they might be wiped out when the vanguard of the empire appeared. Alas, it was all to blame for the order given by the admiral to execute those who escaped from the battle, leaving the soldiers with only three choices, that is, to either die in battle, be executed, or surrender.
If I had told them what I really thought at the time, maybe they would have followed me, right? Instead of doing so, they used deception to get them to carry out their plans. Is this because I am afraid that they will not believe in themselves and miss the fighter? Or is it the result of inadvertently taking out the habits you have developed in the game of War?
In the game, in order to win, it is often necessary for some gamers' warships to be sacrificed, but those players are generally unwilling to serve for their own scores. In order to win, he had to deceive them and let them fight without knowing it. Although they scolded him afterwards, he was humble and he was fine. But this is a real battle, if you take a wrong step, you will perish, and even if you want to apologize, you can't find anyone to apologize to.
Thinking of this, Tang Long suddenly realized that he seemed to be very cold-blooded, because at that time, he didn't have any sad feeling when he saw the death of those robes who came to hunt him down.
They will do this, not because they will follow the orders of their new masters to hunt them down immediately after surrendering, and the two sides are already enemies, so they will not feel sad about their deaths. Because he understands the feelings of those people very well, if he were in their situation, he would immediately follow the order to chase and kill. Because they have betrayed the Federation, if they want to survive, they can only obey orders, maybe they will say how to bear to attack the robe not long ago, but at the beginning, they abandoned the honor of the soldier in order to survive, so what is the love of the robe at this time? You've become enemies!
But this reason is not enough to prove that it is a reason not to be sad, and I really can't think of any other reason except for being cold-blooded. But why don't you agree with the word cold-blooded in your heart?
Although he didn't know why all the soldiers chose to surrender, he knew that if he didn't know that those were Janissaries with secret missions, he would have chosen to surrender. I don't want to die at such a young age, because I still have a lot of wishes to fulfill, and I believe that those soldiers have all kinds of dreams like me.
Although he clearly told them at that time that the emperor would not accept surrender. But they just happened to receive the emperor's surrender communication, and they had a record of deception, of course, they would think that they did not want them to surrender, and deceived them again. At this time, no matter how much they explain it, they won't believe it. Alas, it was all a wrong decision that I didn't tell the truth in the first place.
Tang Long suddenly remembered the reason why he would face thousands of people dying in front of him without feeling any pain, that is, because he couldn't see the blurred and tragic scene of flesh and blood at all, and he didn't have that sense of shock. At that time, I saw those battleships explode, just like I saw those battleships in the game being blown up, and I couldn't have a sense of guilt for killing people at all.
This may be the after-effect of playing real games, making it impossible to tell what is a game and what is real. Although I can still tell that I am in reality, I still subconsciously think of those scenes as a game.
Thinking of this, although Tang Long knew that he was not cold-blooded, he still shook his head sadly. Because if you don't get rid of the sequelae of the real game, you will treat everything as a scene in the game for the rest of your life, and become a real cold-blooded person who ignores the lives of others. For the first time, Tang Long truly understood the reason why the machine instructor reminded him not to indulge in real games.
Tang Longjuan, who was in a depressed mood, shrank in the corner of the bed, quietly looking at the snow-white sheets, he suddenly remembered something he had never thought about, that is, now he understands that even if he is promoted to a first-level official rank, he will only get it after sacrificing countless lives.
Although it is the life of the enemy, it is also the life of one's own. And isn't the life of the enemy not life?
If you become a lieutenant, you will die hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the enemy and the enemy, and if you want to become a marshal, you don't have to die .......
Tang Long trembled at the unimaginable numbers, because he understood that he longed to become a marshal, and only felt that the marshal was the highest commander of the army, so he would regard becoming a marshal as his goal. In this way, it seems that he regards the position of marshal as proof of clearing the game in the game.
Woo, it's a game again. When I wanted to be able to play life as a game, I was angry and left to help my computer sister. Now I realize that my long-standing ideals have also been regarded as a game by myself.
Tang Long hugged his head and groaned in pain, because he suddenly realized how ridiculous it was for him to pursue the position of marshal. For this goal, he sacrificed more than 100,000 robes, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers, and even almost sacrificed his companions who obeyed his orders. Now it is even more difficult for their partners to squat in the cell, making them wait for an inexplicable unknown tomorrow in helplessness and pain.
"Perhaps, the idea of becoming a soldier is wrong, especially the idea of becoming a marshal who shoulders the fate of all soldiers, and it is even more wrong, because I can't even afford the fate of one person." Tang Long muttered to himself with red eyes.
Inadvertently looking up at the dark scenery outside, Tang Long couldn't help but murmur: "I really want to go home, I really want to accompany my computer sister to go shopping without restraint." With these words, Tang Long, who had tears in the corners of his eyes, slowly fell asleep.
Tang Long, who was asleep, was suddenly woken up by a basin of cold water, and Tang Long, who was shivering and sneezing, shouted: "Who is so lacking in virtue!" As soon as Tang Long shouted this, he immediately remembered what happened a month ago, and hurriedly jumped up and put on a defensive posture.
Standing at the door was not the person Tang Long had in mind, but the two prison guards who used to come to talk to him from time to time. Seeing their expressionless faces now, Tang Long couldn't help but be stunned, but he also immediately knew that something was wrong.
Tang Long wiped the water droplets on his face, frowned and said, "Two brothers, why are you making such a joke with me?" Tang Long knew that he couldn't scold people as soon as he opened his mouth like before. And now Tang Long doesn't want to be a soldier, so he is ready to stay up until the end of the interrogation, and he will apply for retirement. For the sake of this moment, I had to swallow my anger.
The two prison guards snorted coldly, opened the fence that had not been powered for a long time, knocked on the iron fence with their batons and said coldly: "Come out, you liar!" ”
"Oh, okay...... Yes? Swindler? What liar? Tang Long, who originally walked out obediently, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the latter sentence.
"Hmph, you know it yourself. Don't say more, let's go! A prison guard turned on the power of the baton, held a sparkling baton and demonstrated in front of Tang Long.
"Uh, where do you want me going?" Seeing that the prison guard's face was not good, although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't ask more, lest he suffer an unjustified disaster. Tang Long, who had been imprisoned for a month, and at the same time was occupied by a lot of his own thoughts, his mind began to become weak.
"Change rooms for you!" After Tang Long came out, the prison guards who handcuffed him said this and stopped saying this, escorting Tang Long through the rows of empty cells one after another.
Tang Long secretly wondered, why did he change the room? Why don't you take that prison transporter this time? Originally, I thought that the prison guard would change his room to an ordinary one because he saw that his room was too beautiful, but he found that with his steps, he had left the ten-story building and reached the underground.
The two prison guards kept silent, and led Tang Long through the dim corridor into a room, and after entering, Tang Long realized that it was actually an elevator. The guard pressed a button, and the elevator began to descend slowly. I don't know how long it took, but the elevator door opened, and I saw a cement passage with dirty air.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Tang Long felt that the temperature was getting colder, and the wet clothes just now made him involuntarily shrink his neck like the prison guard in front of him. Tang Long looked at the passage and found that moss actually appeared on the wall, and the sensor light on the side seemed to be running out of power, flickering and flickering, looking eerie. Follow the prison guards around and around, and go farther and farther. Tang Long saw that something was wrong with the situation, and couldn't help but start to be secretly vigilant.
The prison guard leading the way in front finally stopped in front of a sealed iron door, and the prison guard in the back pushed Tang Long and let Tang Long stand in front of the iron door, and the two prison guards sandwiched Tang Long in the middle. The prison guard on the right pressed the button next to the door, and when he found it useless, he scolded in a low voice: "Damn, something that is hundreds of years old will break after only a few years of use." ”
He cursed as he tapped his baton on the moss-covered spot above the button, as if he had found something, and when he removed the moss, a rusty iron plate was revealed. He struck his baton hard a few times, causing cracks in the rusty iron, and then pulled the plate open with his hand, revealing a handle-like thing inside.
The prison guard pressed the handle down hard, and there was a creaking sound around the quiet surroundings, and Tang Long found that the iron door began to crack slowly with the sound.
After the iron door opened, an even colder cold wind blew with moisture, making Tang Long, who was soaked all over, shiver involuntarily. The inside of the iron gate was pitch black, and there was no light, and nothing could be seen.
At this time, Tang Long was held against a baton by a prison guard, and another prison guard uncuffed Tang Long. Tang Long moved his wrist while looking at the gloomy scenery in front of him and asked, "This is ......?"
Before Tang Long could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a severe electric shock on his waist, causing him to collapse to the ground with a scream. A prison guard rolled Tang Long into the iron door with his foot, and said at the same time, "This is your new cell." ”
Tang Long, who was paralyzed all over, struggled to get up and glared at the prison guard fiercely. When the prison guard saw Tang Long's eyes, his body shook uncontrollably, and he avoided Tang Long's eyes and said, "Don't blame me, this is the prison warden's order." After a pause, he continued: "This is an underground mine during the development of the Skeleton Star, although it is accessible in all directions, but there is no other way out except this exit, so this can also be said to be a huge prison cell for felons. Rest assured, that collar of yours will allow us to find you when we want to let you out, and of course that's on the premise that the court-martial remembers you. As he spoke, he took out two things from his pocket and threw them beside Tang Long and said, "That's an edible mushroom and a freshwater maker, although it is small, it can meet your needs." ”
When the prison guard was about to say something, the prison guard on the side said impatiently: "Okay, what to say to this liar, let's go, I'm going to catch a cold if I stay a little longer." ”
When the prison guard heard this, he could only nod helplessly and said, "Close the door." The moment the door closed, Tang Long only heard him say, "I hope the next time I see you is outside." "I fell into a world of silence and darkness.
Tang Long, who had disappeared from the paralysis, got up and sat on the ground, groping for the two machines that would support his life in the future, while muttering, "Alas, why did you suddenly lock me up here? And why do they keep calling me a liar? I don't remember fooling them, I didn't exaggerate when I told them that I wiped out 2,000 warships of the Empire, what the hell is going on? ”
Tang Long stuffed the two machines he touched into his pocket, and these two things were lost, and it was very difficult to find them in this place where he couldn't see his fingers. Tang Long found that after so long, he still couldn't see anything, knowing that there was no light here, it seemed that he could only be blind. Tang Long shook his head and began to slowly explore the surrounding terrain, he didn't want to stay by the door all the time, since they said that they could find him, then he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Falling into a dark and unfamiliar environment, Tang Long's consciousness of surviving in adversity engraved in the mind of the instructor began to move. He felt a long line of metal underground, remembered what he had seen in the movie, and knew it was a levitating track used to transport minerals.
Tang Long pressed the electric track, looked at the dark surroundings and couldn't help but smile: "If I had stayed in such an environment before, I would have yelled in panic, maybe I would have gone crazy immediately." But after training as a perverted instructor, isn't this environment as relaxing as walking in my own yard? ”
Tang Long began to think of the five identical machine instructors, and after a while he sighed: "Alas, when I left the 23rd Regiment, I arrogantly said that when I met them again, I must have them salute me first. Now that he has finally become a lieutenant, he has no idea of pursuing promotion as before. Alas, apply to meet the instructors before retiring, otherwise you can't find a civilian spacecraft that can go to the training camp of the 23rd Regiment. I wonder what the instructor's expression will be when he knows that the soldiers they have worked so hard to teach actually want to retire? Maybe the electronic eyes will be red, right? Ho ho, when the time comes, it's not bad to be an explorer, so as not to waste your skills. ”
When Tang Long was about to start his adventure in the dark underground, the two prison guards had already returned to the warden's room. The warden buried in the wide chair glanced at the two men and asked, "Locked him up?" ”
"Yes." The guard nodded.
"That's a terrible guy, who actually let Shen Jin, a person who likes to hold grudges, transfer away from this planet through connections when he was still lying in the hospital bed." The warden said leisurely as he looked at the ceiling.
"Uh, then you still ......" The prison guard who gave Tang Long two machines couldn't help but feel strange, since the prison director thought that Tang Long was so terrifying, why did he dare to put him there? Aren't you afraid that he will come to take revenge after being interrogated? Or did the warden know that Tang Long could not be released?
"If it weren't for the order from above, I wouldn't want to offend that guy." The prison warden breathed a sigh of relief after her temples and continued: "Actually, there is nothing to worry about, there is no possibility that he will be interrogated anyway. ”
"Is it Lieutenant General Soth's order?" Another prison guard asked a little excitedly.
The warden shook his head: "No, it's an order from someone who is one level higher than the commander of the Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy Army Group." Speaking of this, he looked at the two prison guards and said solemnly: "Okay, forget everything related to that Tang Long, remember not to mention it to anyone, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." ”
Seeing the inexplicable cold light flashing in the warden's eyes, the two prison guards couldn't help but shudder and nodded hurriedly. When the atmosphere was very dull, the three-dimensional TV that had been on in the room suddenly came from the sweet voice of the announcer: "Everyone, please see, standing under the battleship and waving to us is our battle hero, Second Lieutenant Dontress who has eliminated 2,000 Emperor [***] ships!" Oh, I'm sorry, it's Lieutenant Dontres! ”
When the prison warden saw the person on the screen, he couldn't help but snort softly and pressed the remote control turntable.
