Tang Long jumped around and returned to the door of the instructor's lounge, turned his head and spat again, but this time the closed door actually opened, and there was still a machine instructor standing at the door. And the saliva that flew out of his mouth was very accurately glued to the instructor's military pants.

Tang Long, who kept the rabbit jumping motion, was startled, but he was very clever and quickly reached out to wipe the saliva away, and said with a sneer: "Sir, you are dirty here, and your subordinates will help you pat it." ”

Of course, the instructor knew what Tang Long was doing just now, and he also knew why Tang Long was suddenly so humble and respectful. Seeing Tang Long's appearance, the instructor's smart computer couldn't help but burst with the words 'crying and laughing'. It was impossible to see any expression on the instructor's skull face, so Tang Long looked at the instructor very worriedly, he knew that he couldn't fool these instructors at all, and it seemed that he would definitely have to accept severe punishment later.

When Tang Long kept squatting and was stared at by the instructor's green eyes, the instructor spoke up: "Tang Long, you have to have the temperament of a commander, how can you still be so stubborn?" The tone was still cold, but there was a hint of concern in it.

When Tang Long heard this, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, how could he have heard the instructor say such concerned words in his impression. "This guy can't be a short circuit in the line, right? He would say such a thing. Of course, these words were muttered by Tang Long in his heart, and he couldn't say them.

Tang Long watched the machine instructor walk past him blankly, and then continued to watch the other instructors come out. After those instructors came to the neat row in the center of the hall, a cold snort came from them: "Private Tang Long is in the ranks!" ”

Tang Long, who was reflexive, hurriedly jumped up and shouted, "Yes! Then he quickly ran to the instructors, turned around, and raised his hands together with his legs and saluted: "Hello sir!" ”

The instructors also snapped and replied, and the instructor in the middle said, "Take a break!" As soon as these words came out, the six of them put down their hands together, opened their legs, and put their hands behind their waists.

"Tang Long." Seeing that Tang Long had become accustomed to standing up when the chief said the first sentence, the chief instructor nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Tang Long to take a break.

"Tang Long, the last training will be carried out next, that is, the training of the existential crisis." After hearing the instructor say this, Tang Long began to guess that the instructor would come up with something to train himself, and of course he also had a sense of relief that it was finally over. However, after hearing the instructor's next words, Tang Long's skin was a little numb.

"This training is not at our base, and it is not a virtual training. If you die in training, then you're really dead. You are an infantryman, and your desire is to be a marshal. The ideal is very good, but what are the most basic conditions for becoming a marshal?"

Tang Long didn't think about it, so he stood up and said loudly: "Report sir, it's a merit!" Only proud merit can become a marshal! ”

"Wrong!" The chief instructor said coldly: "Only by saving your own life can you have a chance to become a marshal." Even if your exploits are superior to the entire universe, there is nothing without your own life! All of your previous efforts will be wiped out when you lose your life! ”

When Tang Long heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and began to muttered in his heart: "Could it be that the instructor is going to teach me how to be a deserter?!" ”

The instructor may have seen Tang Long's psychological changes, and snorted coldly: "It is impossible for a deserter to become a marshal." Moreover, in modern warfare, it is simply impossible for a single individual to become a deserter. ”

Tang Long knew what the instructor meant, modern warfare is a war of warships against bombardment, and the soldiers who stay on the battleship can't escape even if they want to, at least the captain must be willing to escape in order to escape. And if the captain is an idiot who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then the soldiers who stay on the ship can only ask the gods for protection. Think about it, how can a soldier escape in space? If you want to take a lifeboat, it depends on whether the people in charge are willing to let you go up. And it is likely that he was crushed by the enemy the moment he entered the battlefield, so don't even think about escaping, he may not even have the idea of escaping.

Seeing Tang Long's puzzled eyes, the instructor continued to say coldly: "This training is also to allow you to effectively kill the enemy while preserving yourself in a complex environment. Again, this training is not in the base, and if you are careless, you will die instantly! ”

Tang Long opened his mouth in surprise, it used to be some virtual training, and even if it was live-fire training, the instructor did not attack his vital point, and he could get medical treatment immediately if he was injured. Now, according to the instructor, this training is nine out of ten deaths. Tang Long has not been in vain in the past few months, he was shocked and returned to normal, and he immediately thought of the question of where to train if he was not training at this base.

After hearing Tang Long's question, the machine instructor didn't say anything, waved his hand, and walked towards a corner with the robot. Tang Long was stunned and didn't know what the instructor was going to do, but the robot looked back at him, which meant that he would follow him too. So I had to follow them to the corner and look at the white wall in a daze.

After they stood still, the white wall suddenly split open a gate under Tang Long's startled eyes. And the floor, which was originally impossible, moved, and sent all of them inside. The split wall closed as soon as they entered.

Tang Long looked around, but except for the instructor's green eyes, he couldn't see anything at all, it was dark. "Fortunately, I'm not afraid of the dark now, otherwise wouldn't I be scared to death when I came to a place like this?" Tang Long pursed his lips and thought, "It's really strange, how can this base have so many strange places?" Supposedly, I've touched the walls of this base dozens of times, but why haven't I found this place? And the floor keeps moving, where is it going......" Tang Long was startled by the scene that appeared in front of him before he could finish thinking about it.

A glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, and as we got closer, it was revealed to be a door. At this point, the floor stopped moving, the door opened automatically, and a ray of light shot out from inside. After adapting to the light, Tang Long found that the instructors had all walked in, and of course he hurriedly followed.

When he went in, Tang Long was shocked again, because it was actually a small port inside! This port is not the one I saw when I came here, because this is a military port! Tang Long's eyes were attracted by a battleship placed in the harbor, although the battleship was not large, and it was still a little old, as if it had a crew of more than 5,000 people at most. But there were hundreds of bomb bays for that fighter, thousands of missile launch bays, and a variety of main and secondary guns, which made Tang Long speechless in surprise. Because this small and thin battleship, which only belongs to the D-class in the war game, actually has the fighter bomb bay that only aircraft carriers have, and it also has the firepower of a G-class battleship. What kind of battleship is this!

When Tang Long followed the instructor to the battleship in a daze, the landing port of the battleship opened, and with the sound of clicking, more than a dozen soldiers walked down, and Tang Long, who saw the faces of these soldiers, couldn't help but rub his eyes, because he found that these soldiers were all robots in military uniforms!

"Smack" They gave a military salute in unison, and Tang Long hurriedly followed the instructor to salute back. At this time, the chief instructor said to Tang Long: "Tang Long, you will join this battleship as a private. After that, you will follow these chiefs for the final exercise. After saying that, he left with the four instructors beside him.

Tang Long didn't care about the instructor's departure anymore, because he looked at the shoulders of the dozens of robot soldiers stupidly. The highest above is a lieutenant, and the lowest is also a second lieutenant, but their military uniform is not from any country, it is simply black. The thought of joining them as a private means that you are no longer in the game where you were in the game.

At this time, the two robot soldiers clicked to Tang Long's side, and without waiting for Tang Long to react, they set up Tang Long and walked towards the battleship. Frightened, Tang Long struggled desperately and shouted, "Don't! What are you going to do? Let me go! ”

It's a pity that those robot soldiers don't seem to have the ability to speak, so they completely ignore Tang Long, and follow Tang Long into the battleship in turn. After the struggling Tang Long entered the battleship, he forgot to struggle, because all the soldiers inside were robots. At this time, the landing gate was closed, and the robot holding Tang Long immediately let go of him, and left with those officer robots.

At this time, the remaining ensign robot waved to Tang Long and walked towards the inside of the battleship. Tang Long found that he couldn't leave, so he had to follow the robot nervously. No matter how Tang Long stuttered on the road, the robot walked without saying a word. It wasn't until he came to a door that he stopped and waved at Tang Long.

When Tang Long ran forward, the door was opened, and an identical robot soldier stood in the doorway. I didn't see the second lieutenant robot speak, and the robot with the rank of non-commissioned officer saluted, turned around and walked in. Tang Long was curious and wanted to go and see what was inside the door, but the non-commissioned officer robot had already stood at the door again and stuffed a bunch of things to Tang Long. Then went back and closed the door.

Tang Long took it reflexively, and before he could take a closer look at what was in his arms, the second lieutenant robot waved his hand and continued to move forward. Tang Long had no choice but to inspect the things in his arms while walking, and found a set of black space combat suits, a pair of space warrior safety helmets. "Woo, isn't that asking me to be a soldier? And it's also a combat soldier, what is this training going to do? Tang Long muttered with a sad face.

Following the silent second lieutenant, Tang Long came to a hall, a hall where dozens of robot soldiers were standing. The second lieutenant saluted the warrant officer to him, saluted back, pointed at Tang Long, and then returned the salute again and left.

Tang Long saw that the second lieutenant did not wave to him, so he had to stand there blankly holding his clothes, looking at the robot in front of him. The robots were all fully armed, and in addition to not wearing space suits, weapons such as laser repeater guns, laser knives, and explosive grenades were almost all hung all over their bodies.

At this time, the warrant officer dragged a one-meter-long, half-meter-high and wide box in front of Tang Long, pointed at Tang Long and turned to leave. Tang Long knew that these robots were reluctant to speak, and what he said was in vain, so he had to sigh and open the box with the number 23 painted on the surface of the box.

Seeing that there was a full set of light weapons inside, Tang Long knew that this box was his arsenal. At this time, the horn on the wall sounded: "Set sail, there are still 60 minutes to enter the battle area, please prepare the generals." ”

"Isn't it? I've just arrived, and I'm going to fight in an hour! Tang Long screamed, but when he saw that the robots heard the broadcast, they all began to check their weapons. I couldn't help but hurriedly put on my combat uniform, put on my helmet, and hurriedly began to equip my weapons. Of course, Tang Long was selected with reference to the equipment on the robot.

Tang Long, who was holding a laser repeater gun, walked around the hall a little uneasy. His training has always been virtual, so although the scene is intense, he knows in his heart that he is not in danger. But now it was clear that he was going to enter the real battle, and he really felt the danger of facing the real war now.

Especially the comrades-in-arms beside him were all ruthless metal robots, and Tang Long was even more worried, because these robots did not give him the feeling of facing an instructor. It feels as if this team is the only one who is alive, and these comrades who are going to follow themselves into life and death are all lifeless machines!

Just when Tang Long couldn't stand the silence and wanted to shout loudly, the voice of the control tower came from the earbuds of the helmet: "Enter the war zone, find the enemy, the battle begins!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Long only heard countless loud noises, and then the battleship shook uncontrollably. Listening to the voice, Tang Long knew that the battleship had opened fire.

Soon, with a loud bang, the battleship shook, shaking Tang Long to the ground, and when Tang Long got up in embarrassment, the red alarm sounded, and the horn also sounded: "The left wing D area is damaged, and it will be repaired immediately." Fighter planes are dispatched, and the landing force is ready! ".

Tang Long stared blankly at his teammates who had not fallen, and ran towards a hatch very quickly. The warrant officer saw that Tang Long was still stunned, and walked forward with green eyes, first kicked Tang Long in the stomach, and then lifted him up and threw him at the door of the cabin. Now Tang Long didn't care about the pain, he saw that the warrant officer had already raised a gun at him, and he was so frightened that he ran into the hatch.

Although he cursed in his heart, he had no time to think, and the command skills he had learned before were not used at this time, and he didn't need to worry about it. He realized that he was just a private, a soldier who would be shot immediately when he retreated. The scene of commanding a million-strong army in the game in the past is impossible to appear, and his high position will no longer be restored. I'm just a private in the real world!

At this moment, the feeling of being high in the virtual world that Tang Long had before completely disappeared.

Tang Long stole at the warrant officer standing behind him in horror, and just when he didn't know what to do, the warrant officer overtook him and walked forward. Tang Long watched him go away, and his heart was slightly relieved. At this time, he found that he was standing in a corridor in a row, and the hatch behind him had been closed, so what did he want these people to stay here? While he was thinking wildly, a door appeared in front of him, and the people in front of him walked in one by one. When Tang Long passed by the warrant officer, he lowered his head weakly and didn't dare to look at it.

After entering, Tang Long immediately found that this was a cabin, which might be the landing ship of his own team. Seeing that his teammates had found a seat to sit down, he hurriedly sat down nearby and pulled down the frame that stabilized his body. Tang Long has learned to be obedient now, since he has been on this thief ship, then adapt as soon as possible. Otherwise, the warrant officer who was always staring at him must have kicked him again when he saw that he was not pleasing to his eyes.

At this time, the voice came from the loudspeaker: "Landing force attack!" Hearing this voice, Tang Long only felt that his body shook, his ears roared, and then his body seemed to be light, if there was no protective frame to fix, he would definitely float. It seems that the landing ship broke away from the battleship.

The landing ship's cabin was sealed, and Tang Long could only feel the loud noises outside, and he couldn't see what the battlefield was like at all, and he didn't know who the enemy of these robots was. Suddenly, the landing ship shook violently, and the alarm lights in the cabin kept flashing. Tang Long sensed that the landing ship had been hit from the huge shock just now. The fear in my heart soared uncontrollably, "I don't want it!" God, all the gods of the universe, bless me, poor private, from dying so young. Woo, I haven't dated a girl yet, I don't want to die like this! ”

When Tang Long was begging for heaven and earth, the spaceship suddenly suffered a greater vibration, and when Tang Long thought it was hanging like this, the protective frame that fixed himself automatically rose, and then the hatch was opened, and the machine soldier rushed down like a tide with a gun. Tang Long, who was hesitating, was glared at by the warrant officer, and quickly jumped up and ran out of the landing ship.

After Tang Long came down, he was immediately stunned by the scenery in front of him, a barren yellow wasteland in front of him, looking at the storm with yellow sand flying all over the sky, Tang Long knew that the place he was in was a no-man's star, because it was impossible for such a scene to occur in a place where people lived. On both sides of themselves and behind them, there were countless landing ships parked, and of course, there were sparks, the wreckage of the landing ships.

Countless machine soldiers wearing the same black military uniforms as themselves were densely covered with the land. And you can see countless exploding sparks in the sky, so you can know that there is a fierce battle going on in space.

Tang Long was surprised to see these, which means that there are at least thousands of warships in space. Because there are not so many warships, it is simply impossible to send so many landing ships and soldiers. Tang Long followed tens of thousands of robot soldiers and ran forward with the giant tank.

"When did such a huge army of robots emerge in the universe? Who is the enemy they are facing? The idea had just emerged, and countless lasers were fired, accompanied by countless surface-to-surface missiles.

The robots on his side fell in one fell at once, and dozens of tanks were destroyed. Tang Long hurriedly clenched the laser gun and scolded, "Fuck! What do you want to do so much? It's time to save your life! ”

The low-altitude fighters of both sides were already engaged overhead, and Tang Long also advanced dozens of kilometers with the troops. There was no shadow of the enemy at all, only tanks destroyed by friendly forces in front of them, and countless pieces of metal scattered on the ground. It seems that his side is winning one after another.

"Grandma's, what kind of war is this? Is there still such a tragic ground war in modern warfare? Who is the enemy? It is possible to survive on such a planet and resist so many machine soldiers! Tang Long scolded and ran, after the atmosphere of this war, he was no longer afraid that this was a real war. And Xi, who used to play games, has sprung up again, and now he longs to shoot at the enemy.

At this time, the helmet said: "Encounter the enemy!" Tang Long hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the enemy that appeared, Tang Long couldn't help but widen his eyes and forgot to blink. Because the enemy who appeared in front of him was actually a robot, nothing more than a robot in a red uniform!

Before Tang Long could react, his body was violently pushed, and then there was a loud noise, which shocked Tang Long. Tang Long was about to scold the person who pushed him, but the words were swallowed back when they reached his throat. Because the person who pushed him was the warrant officer, and the place where he was standing just now was blown up a big crater. Seeing the black smoke in the pit, Tang Long shuddered, if he hadn't been pushed away, he would definitely turn into powder.

Tang Long's feeling about the warrant officer suddenly changed, it turned out that these robots also had procedures to protect their comrades. Tang Long saw that the warrant officer was covered with mud, so he hurriedly pulled him, and when he pulled it out, Tang Long couldn't help but sit on the ground, because the warrant officer had only his upper body left.

At this time, a synthetic voice sounded in the helmet that I had never heard before: "! What are you pulling me for? Shoot! Shoot! ”

Tang Long was stunned, and at this time, a robot of his own side stepped forward and pointed the gun at the warrant officer's skull, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, the entire metal head was immediately shattered. Tang Long immediately raised his gun and pointed it at the soldier, and scolded angrily: "What are you doing! ”

The machine soldier's mouth moved, and a cold metallic voice came from Tang Long's ears: "If we are captured by the enemy, we will become their people." As soon as the machine soldier finished speaking, he pushed Tang Long away again, and a grenade fell. With a bang, the machine soldier turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Tang Long looked at the robot arm that had fallen in front of him with a dull expression, but soon he gritted his teeth, got up, picked up his gun and rushed forward.

The energy magazine has run out, and the grenade is long gone. Tang Long could only carry the laser knife and slash desperately. Although the robot in the red uniform is made of metal, it still cannot resist the laser knife. It's a pity that when the energy of the laser knife was also used up, at this time, several red robots had already raised their guns and aimed at Tang Long, who had no weapons.

"So this is the battlefield......" Tang Long clutched his bloody arm and thought blankly. Although this battlefield is a battle between robots and robots, it gives itself a tragic feeling. And unlike the war games that I used to indulge in, death is certain here. Tang Long sighed, compared his eyes, he knew that he was going to die here. I couldn't help laughing in my heart: "I still want to be a marshal, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get through the last training." ”

Just as the red robots were about to pull the trigger, a loud voice sounded in the air: "The battle is over!" Black wins! The red robots let go of their guns and turned away.

Tang Long stared blankly at the robot on the battlefield and walked back to his position with a click. At this time, they will not attack even if they see robots of different colors. "What's going on?" Tang Long just shouted out of his voice, and a voice came from his helmet: "The battle is over, and the landing force will return to the ship immediately within 30 minutes." ".

Tang Long reluctantly relied on the instructions of the helmet to walk to the nearest landing ship, and after getting on the landing ship, he found that the seats that could originally seat 50 people were now only sitting more than 10 robots with severed hands and feet.

Tang Long saw that these robots were all sitting quietly, ignoring the wounds at all, and could only endure their own pain. Fortunately, I was trained by the machine instructor to be perverted, otherwise I would definitely not be able to enjoy this kind of pain now. Fortunately, the two robots pushed themselves, and if they hadn't been themselves, they would have turned into powder long ago.

"Why would the robot save itself? If they have a program to protect their companions, why not save the other robots? Tang Long thought of the soldier destroying the immobile warrant officer without hesitation, and knew that the robot would not care about his companions, "But why am I an exception?" And how to understand the words of the man who became them? Will you change the program of the captives to become your own? ”

When Tang Long was thinking about what was going on with these robots and the battle, there was a voice from the cabin: "When the time comes, take off immediately!" Hearing this voice, Tang Long couldn't help but look at the hatch that was about to close, and suddenly found that a robot grabbed the door and wanted to climb into the spaceship that had already taken off.

Tang Long hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, there's another one!" While shouting, he was about to pull the robot, but unfortunately the hatch closed without pause, and a sparkling robotic arm fell at Tang Long's feet.

Tang Long stared blankly at the metal arm, and then at the unresponsive robot soldiers. After a long time, Tang Long sighed, sat on the ground in a daze, and did not speak.

Back on his more dilapidated battleship, Tang Long found that there were only a few robots left in his squad. All of them were silent, quietly repairing themselves with tools. Tang Long, who couldn't find medical tools, could only tear off the training uniform of his 23rd regiment and casually tie up the wound. At this moment, he quietly looked at the naked robots, and suddenly he found that the structure of these robots was not as delicate as that of the machine instructor, and the wiring was not so complicated. Compared to machine instructors, they are like shoddy products.

At this moment, the door of the hall was opened, and the second lieutenant who had brought Tang Long here walked in with a small box. Tang Long was stunned because he found that the box had a mark representing a first-aid kit. "The robot here doesn't use this, so it's for me?" Tang Long's idea was confirmed, and the second lieutenant handed the box to Tang Long.

Tang Long hurriedly saluted and took it, and when he saw that the second lieutenant was about to leave immediately, he hurriedly shouted, "Sir! What kind of battle is this? Why didn't the landing ship wait for the late soldiers? The scene of cutting off the robot's hand at the landing ship's cabin door was deeply left in Tang Long's mind.

The second lieutenant stopped, although he didn't look back, Tang Long heard his voice for the first time, it was a synthetic, emotionless voice: "If you want to know, after bandaging the wound, come to the command room." ”

When Tang Long heard this, he immediately opened the box and dealt with his wounds. After dealing with it, he found that the second lieutenant had not left, still quietly with his back to him. Tang Long saluted his back: "Sir! I've bandaged my wounds! The lieutenant didn't say anything and began to walk outside. Of course, Tang Long was clever enough to follow.

Coming to the bridge command room, there are dozens of robots busy on the console. However, Tang Long's attention was not attracted by them, and all his minds were attracted by the scene on the wide screen. Looking at the yellow earth with black smoke and the metal blocks all over the field, Tang Long knew that this was the place where he almost died.

At this time, there was no fighting on this land, and dozens of giant ships with a large circle at the bottom were flying at ultra-low altitudes. Seeing that those metal blocks were all sucked onto the round blocks, Tang Long knew that those spaceships were collecting metal blocks. The camera followed the movement of a spaceship, and the close-up image allowed Tang Long to see the robot with shaking and struggling chassis.

"Are you sending them for repair?" Tang Long asked in a low voice. However, the lieutenant did not answer, just quietly looked at the screen, and following the camera, the ship came to a huge, artificially made furnace-like place. The spaceship circled in the air, and as Tang Long had guessed, those pieces of metal fell into the fiery red slurry, only to splash a burst of sparks, and then regained its calm.

Tang Long looked at it blankly, an inexplicable feeling swelled in his heart, and he put his legs together and gave a standard military salute to the screen. It took him a moment before he suddenly noticed that several robots in the command room, including the ensign beside him, had already stood up and saluted. But with the exception of these robots, the other robots were busy with their own business, and did not react to the scene in front of them.

Hearing Tang Long's "snap" salute, the saluting robots all turned their heads to look at Tang Long. The second lieutenant put down his hand and asked coldly, "Why are you saluting?" They're just a pile of scrap metal. ”

Tang Long looked at the screen quietly and said in a deep voice: "No matter what they are, I only know that they have fought with me and protected my comrades-in-arms. Salute to one's own comrades-in-arms, I don't think there is a need for a reason. ”

Hearing Tang Long's words, the green light in the eyes of all the robots who stood up and saluted suddenly lit up. But the light soon regained its composure, and each sat down to attend to his own business.

The second lieutenant didn't look at Tang Long anymore, turned his head to the screen and said coldly: "Look at this communication, you will know what this war is for." With a wave of his hand, two images appeared on the screen. Tang Long immediately stared at him in surprise, because there were two people, two young people with the rank of major general on their shoulders-

Alas, the younger brother is not available from tomorrow to next week, so he can only post the New Year's Day gift in advance. I really don't know how to do it, the Christmas gifts were sent in advance, and now even the New Year's Day gifts have to be sent in advance. I hope you enjoy it.
