Chapter 33: One Man's War
Zhengkui Star Moon Bay Airport. The man-made structure stretches all the way to the circum-equatorial synchronous orbit defense ring, and the waterway lantern looks like the ribs of a prehistoric behemoth in space. A few sparse people stood in front of the 115th tower station, and after a while, a warship landed slowly, and a few people walked down the gangway one after another.
"Chu Ming, it's been a long time, you're still alive, to be honest, I thought you were dead, this is definitely not a curse on you."
Wickerson gave Chu Ming a big bear hug, and the cigarette ash from Chu Ming's mouth fell on his epaulettes.
"And I, poor Lieutenant Gunther, I am sad that you have forgotten our friendship."
"Come on Gunther, you have made a lot of money this time, 1 to 1oo, you have made a lot of money." Wilkson dusted off the cigarette ash on his shoulders and turned sideways to let Chu Ming out.
"Friendship sponsorship, friendship sponsorship." They are all substitute cultivators, and they talk to each other more casually. Gunther could only smile awkwardly.
Wickerson noticed the soldiers and officers walking by, all of whom had arrived with Chu Ming, and he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, they?" β
"Oh, seasickness." Chu Ming took out another cigarette and continued to ignite.
"Don't talk about it, what a big reaction to seasickness, it's time to catch up with Raya."
Chu Ming appeared in the back of Raya at this time, and her stomach was already obvious. Chu Ming pointed with great interest, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard a shout from Wakesen
"Shut up!" The look of understanding and sympathy cast by Wakson after shouting made him strange. "Chu Ming, are you sure you won't talk nonsense."
"No, no, I'm normal now, go, have a drink and go, drink the most expensive, whoever makes money treats. Gunther, you don't have a good complexion, menopausal syndrome. Ah, who scolded me in his heart. β
A group of people made a beeline for the bar. Raya was drinking and drinking, but they were still chatting happily. Of course, Chu Ming needs to explain how he escaped, of course he can't tell the truth, just make up an ordinary story. It's nothing more than hiding in that underground bunker, until the light is restored. The best way to make up a story out of thin air is this, the simpler it is, the less likely it is to have loopholes.
"Chu Ming, Master Grosso has mentioned you, you take the time to meet you." Wakeson said with a grin
"No, no."
"You'd better go and meet him." Raya's voice was gentle and moving
"Well, I'll go if I have time."
Chu Ming's two completely different replies made Wei Kesen very sad, his family status declined, and his social status did not go up. With a roll of his eyes, Wakeson said again
"There's a sorority, do you attend?"
"What kind of sorority, the kind that deserves it?"
"Cut! Jointly organized by the military and the United Nations. You're invited, Branch President Bubras's invitation. β
"It's strange, what are you looking for me, I'll report back tomorrow."
"It's the day after tomorrow. As for what I am looking for you, maybe it's because you're more magical, by the way, now you don't call you the magical Chu Ming, now they call you the miracle Chu Ming. I doubt you're humanβyou just can't die. β
"Luck, luck." Wilkson inadvertently got to the point, and Chu Ming hurriedly drank a large cup to hide the embarrassment on his face. made Gunther next to him feel distressed
"Slow down, slow down, this is a blue lotus, not water, you are drinking my blood." Chu Ming, I think you should go, it's good for you, and the effect of the association is still great. β
"Well, think about it. That's all for today, Gunther is about to cry, and you don't expect anything from Wikson, you see Raya is like this. I can't drink alcohol or smoke. But I still want to thank you. β
Having said that, everyone also feels that it is almost the same, the coming day is long, and Chu Ming has just come back, and there are still a lot of things to deal with.
The next day, Chu Ming went to the Special Investigation Department, which was specially established for the Great Lu Wenxing incident. The strange thing is that several investigators did not embarrass Chu Ming, and let the big lie made up by Chu Ming become nonsense. Chu Ming didn't know what to say, the Special Investigation Department had already excluded him, first his ability was not up to it, and then the behavioral psychologist analyzed that the protagonist of the incident was not a Fast, which also excluded Chu Ming. And Chu Ming insisted that he had been hiding in the underground bunker for half a year, and this was complete.
After the interrogation, Chu Ming was just about to leave, but an officer stopped him and handed him an envelope
"A sorority tomorrow, must attend, this is the order."
"Yes, sir."
Chu Ming replied subconsciously, thinking, "It's still the army directly." There is no habit of asking for advice. If you don't go over, no one pays attention to me, a little person, probably because I'm the only one who survived, and the military wants to use it to boost morale. Whatever, a lot of meat. β
Zheng Kuixing's Eighth Army Theater Command was temporarily requisitioned, and although it was only a few more pots of flowers, it looked a little lively. The colors of the newly laid carpets are also very festive. Chu Ming stared at the crystal lamp in the corner for a long time, the crystal lamp was very beautiful, the main reason was that Chu Ming was bored, because he didn't know anyone. He didn't want to slap the big man, so he simply carnivaled alone.
The music started and the crystal lamps dimmed. Some of the officers' wives and ladies walked off the dance floor at the invitation of others. Chu Ming also made a move, not those ladies and misses, but the food on the table. It's been many years, and I haven't let go of eating normal food in this life, and I can't afford to eat it. The lights were dim, and Chu Ming's chewing and whispering on the dance floor were mixed together, like rodents' teeth. After a while, Chu Ming had already swept the two tables, thinking that this time it was worth it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our Excellency General."
In an instant, the lights were brilliant, and General Bandi walked in from the door, and Chu Ming was a little surprised. General Bandi didn't just participate in any social gatherings, although Chu Ming saw General Bandi more often, but in fact, it was normal for even a captain-level officer to not see him once during his service. This is one of the top generals in the Empire.
"Relax and relax, it seems like I'm coming by mistake, it seems that I am a superfluous person." The smile on General Bandi's face was shallow, but it wasn't easy. His self-deprecation won a round of applause.
Chu Ming shook his head, this kind of hypocrisy ruined his appetite. He simply walked around the back of a pot of big-leaf walnuts and concentrated on destroying a pot of pancakes. General Bandi's speech rang intermittently in his ears
"Thank you...... The purpose of the war is for our empire and people...... It requires the joint efforts of both sides...... We have always grasped the initiative of the war...... Our soldiers are fearless...... Even the last person has to fight, just like Lieutenant Chu Ming. β
Countless eyes searched like radar, and then converged on the back of the big leaf walnut, Chu Ming looked blankly, half of the pancake was in his hand, and the other half was in his mouth.
"Ahem." General Bandi pulled everyone's gaze back, and his casual glance was filled with annoyance and majesty. Chu Ming hurriedly swallowed the pancake and listened attentively
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an undeclared and shameful act of the Robrosi and the Kulan to attack our Great Ruwen at the same time. And our soldiers were not defeated, they fought back and repelled attack after attack, especially the cadets of the Iron and Blood Military Academy, as their seniors, I am proud, this is a thousand-year-old will, a will as solid as a rock. It's a pity that the rescued fleet was blocked outside the star field, I want to tell them, you are not fighting alone, although most of the soldiers can't hear this sentence, but we still have seeds, and unyielding faith, the 5o1st cadet of the Iron and Blood Military Academy, Chu Ming, is out of the ranks. β
"How exciting!" Chu Ming thought silently, "I should be moved, tearful oath." But what do I have for nothing? Chu Ming only felt sadness, "What is the name of the classmate in that volume, I have said a word; The second lieutenant was also young, and his bare chin was not known how often he used a razor. β
"The 5o1st class of the Iron-Blooded Military Academy - Chu Ming, out of the ranks!"
The majestic voice sounded again. Chu Ming took a step firmly. Half a second, he took another step, then another. In this way, he walked through the crowd step by step towards General Bandi. All eyes were on him, curious, confused, doubtful, or admired.
One meter, Chu Ming was so close to General Bandi, he was actually very tall and burly, there was a sense of oppression in his eyes, and his cheekbones showed a dark brown shadow under the light above his head. Chu Ming stared at the eyes on the other side and said in a voice that only each other could hear
"I've heard everything you said, it's beautiful." Chu Ming paused, "The front half is nonsense, and the back half is a lie." It's not your war, it's my war, one man's war, senior! β
