I followed the sunglasses to a place that looked like a lobby with quite a lot of people sitting in it. Suddenly, I saw a lot of sunglasses talking to people who looked like cacti and didn't know anything.

"Are they recruiting? Perhaps, maybe they are all cannon fodder, and I, the cannon fodder who survived the battles controlled by others again and again, am now going to become a pawn like cannon fodder caused by others. ”

Then the cactus remembered a question and asked the glasses that brought him in, "Why are there so many glasses like you?" ”

"They are my colleagues," the glasses said. ”

"Didn't I give advice? So why don't you give me a better job? For example, what about a little subordinate? ”

"The people in the lobby who don't know anything about this matter are also here to give advice," the glasses said. It's just that whoever has adopted his opinion will be paid more. If you voluntarily participate in the war, you will be paid more. ”

"In other words, whether my opinion is adopted or not, I am going to fight?"

The glasses said, "Yes." ”

"So what else do you have to say? Won't it be over for a long time? ”

"The opinions of reference are related to who and what kind of fight you are fighting, and this has a lot to do with the actual losses," the glasses said. Less loss, more reward. ”

"What's the pay?"

"Money, battleship" he looked at the cactus and continued: "Of course, women don't have it. After saying that, he paused, and then continued: "But when you have money, you can buy a house." Once you have a battleship, you can earn money as a mercenary. After having a house and money, the woman came. ”

The cactus smiled and said to the glasses, "Then how do you know if my opinion has been adopted?" ”

Glasses said: "This is the waiting room, after the decision of the headquarters is made, we will inform whose opinion is adopted, of course, after getting the money and the battleship, you can get on the new warship as our mercenary, and the salary will be paid separately." ”

The cactus quietly asked the glasses, "How many people will you recruit this time?" ”

The glasses said, "About 100,000." ”

The cactus continued to whisper, "What's your name?" ”

The glasses said, "I can't say this." ”

The two were speechless one after another, and could only wait. The cactus asked for a cup of coffee, which tasted pretty good, so he asked for another one, and he became addicted, drinking a total of eighteen cups of coffee during the waiting time. The cactus thought that he would be able to keep his eyes open today and tomorrow.

After being told that the opinion was adopted, the cactus got the money and a battleship as he wished. A total of two million and a medium-class battleship. Then he signed up for this fake war.

"The time is a month later, the location is 100,000 kilometers outside the solar system, and the exact coordinates are unknown. When we enter the war, we will notify you separately. Then wait until the day. ”

The cactus's hands and feet are spasming, which is a sign that the cactus is involved in a major event, and the whole body is weak and trembling.

During this time, the cactus still moves with the fat man. Go to bars, night markets, sometimes nightclubs, cabarets. If we have enough money, we will go to the hotel for a big meal. Or, watch the street hooligans and thugs fighting, they take pictures with their mobile phones and post them on the Internet, and occasionally get a good click-through rate if the skill is difficult in the fight.

Instead of watching the fight scene of hundreds of people, it is better to watch the excitement of the provocative posture of several people. They always take this situation to a higher level, which is street fighting, which, like street magic, is highly visible.

At this time, while waiting for the war to come, the cactus and the fat man were fishing next to the sea, so the cactus told the fat man his story.

The immortal holds the fishing rod, searches his memories, and then tells the story.

"The scene of swords and blood shadows is rare in this era, and even if there is, it will not be seen by them."

"On the contrary, the pirates drifting in the ocean, armed with machine guns and driving dilapidated speedboats, went to rob passing cruise ships and cargo ships, and the scene was also breathtaking. If they were lucky, they would have a good harvest when they came across a ship without an escort, and when they came across a cruiser to protect them, they actually caught up. In the past, when I was resting from war, I could sometimes encounter this situation when I was wandering around the atmosphere in the warships issued by the army. ”

"At the largest, there were thousands of broken speedboats, stationed on an isolated island, with a few houses, and that was probably where they went ashore to live. At that time, a convoy of cargo ships passed by, escorted only by a cruiser. And they got on, and their tactics were strange, not to sneak up on the fallen ships, but to surround the escorted cruiser in their entirety. That cruiser in this era is incomparable to more than 20 centuries, a thousand. Its cannons, rockets, missiles, and energy pulse weapons are all on board. In a few strokes, those broken speedboats were beaten into beecombs and molten iron. There were also helicopters, carrying soldiers to shoot bullets in the air, and the speedboats that surrounded them sank one by one. But what the cruiser didn't expect was that the pirates were actually divided into two groups, the vanguard rushed up to be cannon fodder, and the latter group waited for the opportunity to move. When the cruiser was able to practice the target, the pirates secretly boarded the cruiser, and there were dozens of people. That equipment, cacti can't believe that poor pirates can put on. It's all special agent outfits, it seems that they used to be soldiers after the regular army was disbanded somewhere. ”

"I saw the agents enter the cruiser's cabin through the imager of the battleship in the air, and the cruiser did not move for a quarter of an hour."

"God, those pirates are not robbing cruise ships, they are robbing cruisers."

"When they got the cruiser, they hung the skull flag on it, which would not change for 10,000 years. Then, the cruiser that the pirates had grabbed fired a few shots at the side of the cargo ships, and the cargo ships stopped. Then pirates on thousands of runabouts flocked to each multi-million-ton cargo ship. An hour later, the shipment was bound for their island. ”

"I'm wondering, their island is so barren, what do you want these cruise ships for?"

"Later, I simply flew the ship to their island, and the pirates saw me and waved at me. So I radioed to the pirate chief. The head said, "I can come down and won't kill me." ”

"Then I got my blood pumping and really went down."

"They were drooling when they saw my warship, so I ignored them and walked straight to the tent at the end of the tent."

"The leader said to me: 'Hello, friend, I have seen your warship for a long time. What, interested in us pirates? ’”

"I said, 'If your tactics were used in the space battlefield, you might be able to become a general.'" ”

"Then the head said, 'Yes, the general, the warrior, hehe, the past.'" ”

"I said, 'Is there any mistake, you are really a general?' ”

"The head said: 'I was the chief of military staff of Earth I, the general of the First Field Army, and I used to be a special agent, a special soldier, and a spy. But ten years ago, Country II waged war against us, the Cactus Country lost, the country was dissolved, and I came here. These pirates were my subordinates, and now they're following me here as pirates. Hehe. ’”

"I said, 'What is your name?' ”

"The head said, 'Luo Xiujiu.'" ”

"I said, 'Now that you have such a large amount of supplies, do you want to reorganize the mountains and rivers and restore my country?' ”

"Luo Xiujiu said: 'Well, I've actually thought about it, but'"

"I said, 'Are you afraid that country II will embarrass you?' If I can overthrow you, I think I'll be quite strong. By the way, this is all known to everyone, and there is no need to speculate to know the way. ’”

"Luo Xiujiu said: 'That's not true, in fact, when I came here, I took with me a bunch of scientists and engineers from the army's scientific research institutes. The purpose of bringing them here......'"

"I said, 'You don't need to say that you know all the ways of the people, and rely on their strength to build a land on this small island.' ”

"Luo Xiujiu said: 'I think of the universe, and the freighters and cruisers we grab today will be disassembled into equipment, processed and assembled into battleships. That's right, the supplies on this cargo ship are all necessary for the assembly of the battleship. We've been informed that three of the cargo ships here have all the supplies needed to assemble a space voyage battleship. ’”

"I said, 'How many years have you been preparing?' ”

"Luo Xiujiu said, 'It's been ten years.' ”

"I said, 'That's what you thought in the first place. Well, I wish we will see each other again in the universe in the future. ’”

With that, I walked out of the city and gave him a military salute, and he returned the salute. So, I stepped back into his battlefield. ”

At that time, I hummed the music that echoed in my heart:

Looking at the vast starlight in the vast sky,

My heart thumped,

Naked woman in thorn chains

It means this world

A mystery that can't be broken. ”

After hearing this, the fat man was amazed, and he was completely immersed in this story. But the rod moved, and the fat man said, "I've taken the bait." ”
