"Ahh In an abandoned factory in the temporary stronghold of the Federal Military Intelligence Department in Elder, in a dressing room converted into a medical room, a dreamy exclamation from Mel was heard.

"Buzz!" The automatic door of the medical room popped open, and Haoyi, who looked tired, hurriedly walked in, and whispered to Meier, who was sitting at the head of the hospital bed panting, "What's wrong, old Mai?" Another nightmare? ”

"Damn it, I always dream of those brothers who died tragically under the claws of insects!" Maier, who was covered in cold sweat, shook his head and said to Haoyi with palpitations.

"Hey, it's all useless to blame me, but in the end I still couldn't save those brothers!" Hearing Meier's words, Haoyi also sighed heavily, sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and took out a pack of ball cigarettes that he didn't know where to find them, handed one to Maier and said, "Come on, old Mai, smoke this thing and spit out the sullen breath in your heart!" ”

"Whoa!" Maier took the cigarette in Haoyi's hand, stuffed it into his mouth and lit it, let out a long puff of green smoke, patted Haoyi lightly on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Stinky boy, don't feel too guilty, how can you say that at least you have saved the lives of twenty or thirty brothers!" After a pause, Maier said with a wry smile: "Damn, I originally wanted to help you escape from prison together this time and repay the favor I owed you back then, but I didn't expect that this time Lao Tzu owed you another life!" You dog-day rabbit cub, I want Lao Tzu to never be able to repay your favor in this life! ”

"Don't talk about Lao Mai, they are all brothers in life and death who crawled out of the pile of corpses together, what do you owe or not!" Haoyi also smiled and gently punched Maier in the shoulder, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, how is the injury, Lao Mai?" ”

"The left leg should be fine, but the right leg is probably completely useless! The doctor came here just now and said that he was going to have an amputation for me, and the insect poison in the wound on his right leg had already soaked into the bone marrow, and if he didn't amputate his leg, let alone the whole leg, I'm afraid I would have to go with him to see Hades! With that, Maier flipped open the white cloth sheets, revealing his horrible legs.

In the fierce battle with the swarm, Mel's right leg was slashed by the claws of the jumping insects, and his left leg was also cut by two or three centimeters. Unable to treat the poisonous wound in time, Meier's injured right leg was so severe that doctors with advanced medical equipment had no choice but to amputate it to see if they could save it. And for Maier, who is in the prime of life, the loss of his right leg is undoubtedly a major blow.

"Damn bugs!" Looking at Maier's right leg, whose wound had turned black, Haoyi slammed his fist on the edge of the hospital bed and scolded hatefully. The way he gritted his teeth, as if he had been so badly wounded, made Myer's heart heat and his old eyes were cloudy.

"Stinky boy, what are you excited about? Okay, isn't it just one leg? At least Lao Tzu's life is still alive! Besides, can't you still put on a prosthetic leg? Hehe, maybe put on a prosthetic leg, Lao Tzu can run faster than you little rabbits! Silently, Maier put on the white cloth sheet again, punched Haoyi with a smile, and said pretending to be indifferent.

"Don't worry, Lao Mai, one day, I will make those damn worms pay a million times the price to repay everything you lost!" Haoyi's pale yellow and thin face flashed a trace of cruelty.

After escaping from the prisoner of war camp, perhaps because of the cultivation of dark spiritual energy, Hao Yi's face, which had been modified by the disguise technique, was inexplicably restored to its original appearance. However, his thin and pale yellow face didn't know when, but there were a few more resolute edges and corners, which made Haoyi's whole person look more mature and stable.

"By the way, Haoyi, have you ever thought about how to settle these brothers who escaped from the prisoner of war camp with you?" The murderous aura unconsciously revealed by Haoyi's body made Maier subconsciously stunned. After a moment of silence, Maier asked, as if he didn't want to continue on to the somewhat heavy topic.

"How do you settle down?" Haoyi was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head and shouted: "I'm X, look at my broken memory, I almost forgot to tell you the right thing!" Old Mai, I have already explained to Lu, and when the rumors have passed, they will try to send you and these brothers back to Solome. The brothers have fought for half their lives, and they have survived their lives, and it is time to go back and be reunited with their families! ”

"Back to Solomy?" Probably didn't expect Hao Yi to make such a decision on his own initiative for these prisoners of war from the rebel star region, Maier was a little surprised, and then shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the cigarette in his hand and took a heavy puff.

"What? Don't you and your brothers want to go home? Looking at Maier's somewhat disdainful expression, Haoyi asked with wide-eyed puzzlement.

"Home, who wouldn't want to go back?" Maier looked up at the white helium lamp hanging on the ceiling, sighed with emotion, and then turned back to Haoyi and asked with a solemn face: "But do you know what kind of consequences we soldiers who have been labeled as rebels will bring to our families who have regained a peaceful life once we return to our hometowns?" ”

"Solomi has already returned to the Federation, even in the Shili range of the Fifth War Zone, it can be regarded as a piece of the Federation's territory. On this map, local officials will not allow veterans who have been part of the so-called "rebels" on their territory, even if we have laid down our arms. Seeing that Haoyi was speechless by his own question, Maier asked himself and said: "Once we people rush back to our hometowns, our family members will not be able to raise their heads in front of their neighbors, and at worst, hehe, believe me and I don't say that you also understand, how will those corrupt local officials use us, the former "rebels", to add to their political achievements, right?" ”

"So, don't you want to go home? At the very least, where are your wives and children? Haoyi probably didn't expect this layer to be speechless for a while by Meier.

"Home? Maybe one day when the rest of us really change our faces! Maier said to Haoyi with a miserable smile.

"Hey......" After being stunned for a moment, Haoyi sighed heavily, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and stepped on it heavily, and his head was a little big for a while.

"Don't be embarrassed Haoyi, I have an idea, I don't know if you want to!" Seeing Haoyi's somewhat tangled expression, Maier suddenly smiled slyly and asked lightly.

"What's the idea? I'm X, don't spare you dead old wheat, I know you must have something in your stomach, hurry up and release it! Hearing Myer's words, Haoyi hurriedly raised his head and shook Maier excitedly and shouted.

"Stop, stop! You little rabbit cub, if you don't die in the mouths of those damn bugs, you will be shaken to death! Maier was dizzy by Haoyi's big hand, screamed and broke free of Haoyi's big hand, and complained very depressedly: "It's not impossible for me to say, but you have to agree before I can say it!" ”

"Uh, isn't it? That's not how business works, I haven't seen your goods yet, how can I pay first? Haoyi's eyes widened, and he muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Forget it then!" Mel made a gesture to lie down and rest.

"Okay, okay, okay, didn't Lao Tzu agree first?" Haoyi, who was tickled by Meier, helplessly dragged Meier, his heart moved, and suddenly asked seriously: "Could it be you, a dead old Mai, who plans to let these brothers eat and drink with Lao Tzu for the rest of their lives?" ”

"Eat and drink? Hey, sort of! Maier was stunned for a moment, then smiled slyly again, and said again and again.

"......" Hao Yi was speechless with black lines on his head, and his two slender eyes were staring at Maier with "grievances".

"I said, boy, can you not look at me like that? Lao Tzu's goosebumps have fallen to the ground! Mel subconsciously shouted, rubbing his arms vigorously.

"Dead Lao Mai, if you don't tell the truth to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will stare at you with this kind of eyes for the rest of your life, until you are in the ground!" Haoyi pretended to be "ruthless" and said.

"Uh, well, I'm really convinced of you stinky boy!" Maier replied with a bitter smile helplessly, and then changed his face and asked Hao Yi in a low voice: "Hao Yi, I have to congratulate you first, I inadvertently got a dead soldier who swears allegiance to you!" ”

"Dead? What do you mean? Haoyi was a little stunned by the half-literate word that suddenly popped out of Maier's mouth.

"I'll tell you the truth! Before you came to see me, the brothers had already come and counseled with me! Mel finally poured out the words that he had hidden in his heart: "Although my brothers and I are veterans who have crawled out of the pile of dead people I don't know how many times, I am afraid that for the first time in our lives, we have been touched by such a seemingly out of tune as you. That day, you forced Andrew to take the risk to rescue the brothers, and everyone's hearts were bright. In particular, your phrase, "Otherwise, I will not die and get on the plane", the brothers have always kept in mind. The brothers are all warriors, and what they value most is the love of life and death. The fact that you are willing to sacrifice your chance to escape and rescue your brothers at all costs is enough for them to do for you. It is no exaggeration to say that from that time on, the lives of me and these twenty or thirty brothers will belong to you Haoyi alone! As long as you say a word, even if there is an abyss in front of you, the brothers will not hesitate to jump down. Understand, Haoyi? ”

Mayer's earnest words hit Haoyi's heart like a hammer. Shocked, Haoyi froze in place like a stone man, staring at Maier with his eyes.

"No, isn't it? Old Mai, seriously, I'm not that great, am I? I was thinking, since I can save more people, why don't we let the brothers have less blood? Well, perhaps, it was the arrival of my broom star that brought such a catastrophe to the brethren! After being stunned for a while, Haoyi sighed lightly and said to Maier heavily.

"Okay, don't sigh like a resentful woman!" Seeing this, Maier smiled and patted Hao Yi on the shoulder to comfort him, and then said to Hao Yi with the right color: "If I'm not mistaken, you told me before that you have become some staff adjutant in the St. Proli Star District. It should be your territory, right? If you don't mind, try to get the brethren there! When the brothers have recovered from their wounds, I will give you back a death squad that is loyal only to you! Don't forget, even though we were only prisoners of war, we were all veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead on the battlefield. There is such a death squad composed of dead veterans, don't dare to say anything else, whoever dares to provoke you Haoyi, let him pass the brothers first! How about it, stinky boy, you shouldn't refuse such a good thing, right? ”

"Uh, okay!" Looking at Meier's sincere look, Haoyi finally agreed with a smile.
