A ship, quietly docked on the coast. With the waves, gently swaying.

The stars and the moon shone on the sea level, and the silver light was like a quiet dream.

Jinzhi leaned on the side of the ship and looked out to sea.

The footsteps approached, and she turned her head, but she was slightly stunned.

He wore a shirt and trousers and walked towards her. But the shirt was different from usual, it was iron-gray, and the buttons seemed to be made of some kind of hedron, and the light was dim, and it was buttoned up to the neck. There are epaulettes with vine petal motifs on both shoulders, and a badge on the right arm.

He walked over to Jinzhi and reached out to unbutton the button around his neck.

Jinzhi: "This is a military shirt?" ”

Ying Han nodded: "Go to the spaceship, it's more comfortable to wear a military uniform." ”

"Oh."

Xiao Qiongyan said early that he had an occupational disease. Jinzhi felt that in his bones, this man actually "controlled" everything related to the military. Standard shirts, white gloves, the fastest ...... Went to his house several times, and each time he watched the military channel of the earthlings.

When she looked up, she saw him in a military shirt again.

So he lowered his head and looked at the water.

In my mind, I thought of the situation where the two of them got along in the past few days.

He behaves exactly like a standard boyfriend, and he really does everything that a man on earth will do when he chases his girlfriend. But with his meticulousness and gentleness in it, no matter how cheesy things are—such as taking her to a horror movie—he is meticulous in his work.

The corners of Jinzhi's lips are slightly hooked. Remembering that before leaving this weekend, Ran Yu asked in surprise: "Are you going on a trip?" Tell me honestly, are you going with your twenty-four filial boyfriend? ”

She didn't even deny it, but replied naturally: "What, no? You go with your homeless boyfriend too. ”

"Jinzhi you bastard!"

……

"Xiaozhi, do you want to learn to fly a fighter?"

Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at him: "Yes." ”

The iron-gray shirt makes him more handsome and upright. He said gently: "There are several warplanes on the spaceship, and we can fly them on the bottom of the sea." I teach you. ”

Jinzhi suddenly looked forward to it.

Zhuang Chong, who was on the recliner next to him, suddenly lifted the newspaper covering his face and shouted, "I want to learn too!" ”

Xiao Qiongyan in the cockpit probed out: "I'll teach you, I'll teach you!" ”

——

Underwater.

This is probably another of their fighters, with a silver-white streamlined shape and a propeller and tail. Jinzhi thinks it's very beautiful. I don't know where they hid it when it was cold.

Four people boarded a fighter plane and entered the water from the shore. It's been sneaking down for a long time.

The cabin was not spacious, Xiao Qiongyan sat in front of the pilot, Zhuang Chong gathered beside him, and the two were already having a lot of fun.

Jinzhi sat by the window and watched infatuatedly.

The bottom of the sea is truly deep and black, and you feel like you've entered an endless catacomb. Only the lights in front of the fighter planes, bringing a hazy light, illuminated a small area of water.

It's quiet.

There are brightly colored unknown fish swimming past the window. Jinzhi reached out and poked and poked gently.

Someone next to him sat down gently.

Jinzhi glanced at him. He rested one hand on the back of her chair and the other casually on his knee, looking down at her.

He was becoming more and more adept at approaching her.

Jinzhi turned his head and continued to tease the fish.

It was probably extremely cold at the bottom of the sea, and a layer of water vapor quickly condensed on the windows. Jinzhi stretched out his finger and wiped it off little by little.

Ying Han's gaze fell from her face to her fingers.

Thin, fair and soft fingers.

He lowered his eyes slightly.

The glass surface was a little icy, which made Jinzhi's fingers cold. She wiped it for a while, and just as she wanted to stop it, she saw the man's white and bony hand also stretched out.

The fingertips of the three fingers were gently held by him. Then it was placed on his thigh.

He didn't say anything, just turned his head sideways, staring at her quietly.

Jinzhi didn't say anything. Obviously, his hand has been held by him countless times, but now a little fingertip is held by him in the palm of his hand, but it makes people feel even more numb.

"That's what it is...... What did Zhuang Chong teach you? She asked softly.

"It's not." He lowered his head and gently pressed it against her face, "It's me...... Wants to do this to you. ”

Jinzhi's whole face was hot, and he only felt that every inch of skin in his body was running through that subtle, numb feeling. She let him hold and rub like this, motionless. I didn't move when it was cold. The two of them snuggled quietly in the corner of the cabin. The surroundings are so quiet, but in Jinzhi's heart, there seems to be waves constantly impacting and impacting.

"It's finally here, our Starlight." Xiao Qiongyan in front sighed.

Jinzhi immediately raised his head, avoided his touch, and pulled his finger out again. Ying Hanshi's hand also slowly lowered, raised his head, and looked ahead.

In the water ahead, a dark gray metal behemoth four or five stories tall stood silently, without a single light.

——

Approaching, hatch docking.

The valve is manually rotated and the hatch slowly opens.

There was a low, wide sound, as if it was coming from the depths of the spaceship. The energy unit was activated.

Jinzhi followed behind Ying Han and walked into the long bridge passage. It is surrounded by silver metal walls that reflect a dim light. This was a sight that Jinzhi and Zhuang Chong had never seen before, and both of them held their breath and looked around.

Soon, we were in an open cabin.

"This is the central cab." Xiao Qiongyan introduced.

Standing with his hands in his hands when it was cold, his eyes calmly looking at everything in the cab.

Jin Zhi and Zhuang Chong were quite curious.

The cabin was lit only by a soft dim light, and everything seemed hazy and silent. In the middle are two driver's seats, which look very complex and comfortable. In front of it is a large control panel, the size of two water-mill desks. Now they're all dark.

There are also a few seats around, all of which are empty. The walls were all black, like a huge curtain, but every few seconds, strings of silvery-white light flashed quickly from the walls.

"Commander." Xiao Qiongyan said, "I'm going to do a routine maintenance of the spacecraft now, and then I'm going to get the testing equipment we need." ”

Nodding his head when he was cold.

Zhuang Chong followed: "I'm with you." ”

The two quickly walked to the equipment room, and looked sideways at Jinzhi when they were cold: "Do you want to take a look everywhere?" ”

"Okay."

It was quiet in the hallway and the air was a bit cool. Jinzhi followed behind him, walking unhurriedly. Nuclear power cabin, storage compartment, crew rest cabin, dining room...... Everywhere he went, he patiently introduced her. Jinzhi found that, except for the power compartment equipment room, it looked very high-tech. The places where these aliens live are actually similar to those of earthlings. Even a little simpler and more unpretentious.

At the end of the corridor, there was the last rest cabin, and when it was cold, the hatch was opened: "This cabin is mine." ”

Jinzhi walked in and followed her when it was cold.

She was a little surprised.

Originally, I thought that as the commander of such a large fleet, the rest cabin would be very spacious and comfortable, not to mention luxurious. But now, it was not much larger than the pilot's rest pod. The roof is also low, with only a single bed, a desk, and a single-door wardrobe. Other than that, nothing.

Jinzhi turned his head to look at him: "You live here?" ”

Nodding his head when he was cold.

Jinzhi looked him in the eye.

So in the past, he lived in such a place most of his time?

At that time, he was a few years younger than he is now.

Now, he was a broad-shouldered, thin-shouldered youth.

Jinzhi suddenly walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, looked up, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"To the Starstream of Youth."

She looked away and saw that his eyes were dark, looking at her for a moment. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, and sure enough, she saw that his face was reddening a little.

Jinzhi smiled slightly and walked out of his side.

He stood there for a few seconds before he caught up. Jinzhi walked briskly, listening to him follow without hurry.

After a while, I suddenly heard him whisper: "The star stream of my youth also wants to ...... Get your kiss. ”

Jinzhi's heart trembled when he heard this.

"You became dishonest when you were cold." She said quickly, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but lift, and she walked forward quickly. Let him follow him firmly behind him.

——

The two walked back to the central cab, but found Xiao Qiongyan standing in front of the control panel, clicking and sliding quickly, looking very serious. Zhuang Chong also frowned and watched from the side.

Hearing them walk in, Xiao Qiongyan immediately raised his head: "Commander, I want to report a piece of news." ”

When it is cold, the eyebrows are calm.

Xiao Qiongyan reached out and scratched his metal head, even though there was not a single hair on it.

"All the data of the spacecraft are basically normal. However, there are a few basic data that had a very small fluctuation a few days ago. It is not possible to determine what the cause of the fluctuation is, perhaps a system failure, or perhaps a change in the surrounding water quality. But it's also possible ......" he paused: "Someone has been on the spaceship, causing data fluctuations. ”

Jin Zhi was stunned, and walked to Xiao Qiongyan's side when it was cold, and looked down at the data.

Zhuang Chong: "Could it be a rebel?" ”

Xiao Qiongyan shook his head: "Impossible." Our driving system is completely different from that of the rebels, and it is so secret that they can't open it. ”

Ying Han lowered his eyes and said, "First rule out the first two possibilities." ”

Xiao Qiongyan: "Yes." ”

Jinzhi had listened carefully to their conversation, but suddenly his eyes were stunned and he remained silent.

Then she slowly raised her head and looked at the open glass surface in front of the driver's seat.

Two very soft pillars of light were projected from the front of the ship, illuminating the bottom of the water. And at the moment, it is still quiet.

Ying Hanshi noticed: "What's wrong?" ”

Before Jinzhi could answer, Xiao Qiongyan suddenly let out a "huh" and said, "Commander, I found another signal - it's three fighters!" Approaching us fast! ”

——

Five minutes later.

Xiao Qiongyan sat in the driver's seat and waited for it. All the weapons and equipment of the ship have been turned on.

When it was cold, he stood in front of the glass cabin with his hands in his hands, staring at the still calm water. Jinzhi stood beside him.

Zhuang Chong stood behind the two.

Jin Zhi saw that on Xiao Qiongyan's radar map, three bright spots were slowly approaching. In front of the cabin, a bright light can already be faintly seen.

"They're already in range." Xiao Qiongyan asked, "Commander, do you want to shoot?" ”

When it was cold: "Keep waiting." ”

Looking at his calm expression, Jinzhi didn't feel too nervous. But who will it be?

Rebels? But they had disappeared before, so why did they suddenly appear now?

Could it be that there are other aliens on Earth? They appeared so suddenly, as if they had come prepared. Waiting for them here

Finally, the three silver-gray fighters slowly drove to the front of the spacecraft, a distance of more than 100 meters, and stopped.

Jin Zhi was slightly stunned, the appearance of the fighter plane was exactly the same as the one they had just taken.

Xiao Qiongyan snorted lightly: "Commander, what they are driving is also a hunting fighter, not a rebel army." Don't...... They are also survivors of the Imperial fleet? ”

When it was cold, he also looked at the fighters: "Little John, send them our identification code." ”

"Yes."

About half a minute later, Xiao Qiongyan raised his head sharply and his eyes widened: "Commander! I received their identification code. They, they're also members of the Phoenix Fleet, you're your subordinates! But, but, didn't all the space fortresses of the Phoenix fleet crash? ”

Jinzhi and Zhuang Chong looked at Ying Hanshi at the same time. His eyebrows became a little cold, he kept staring at those fighters, and said slowly: "Although the Space Fortress crashed, it is not impossible for a survivor to escape in a fighter plane. ”

"Ahh Xiao Qiongyan jumped up suddenly, "That's great!" Ah, they ask for communication! ”

When it was cold: "Take it in." ”

Jinzhi never thought that he would encounter other aliens at the bottom of the sea, and it might even be the old part of the cold. She glanced at the side face when she was cold, and her heart seemed to be raised.

After a brief sound of electricity, the communication was connected.

Through the glass window and the sea, the three fighters on the other side are still quietly suspended. I can't see the people inside.

Be silent when it is cold. The person on the other end was also quiet for a few seconds.

Then, a gentle, emotionless young woman's voice rang out: "The sun has fallen, and there is no empire in the galaxy." ”

Ying Hanshi and Xiao Qiongyan were stunned when they heard this voice.

The woman continued: "I am the first-class combat staff officer of the Phoenix Fleet, Colonel Lin Jie. Report your unit number and rank immediately. ”

Xiao Qiongyan was already shocked, and turned his head to look at Ying Hanshi: "Commander, it's Lin Jie!" Haha, it's Lin Jie, my God, she's not dead! Commander, we still have people alive! ”

Ying Han slowly lowered his eyes, and Jinzhi looked at him sideways.

After standing so quietly for a while, he raised his head, and Jinzhi saw that there was a moving glow in his eyes.

"Lin Jie, it's me." He only said four words.

The woman on the other end suddenly lost her voice.

After a while, she suddenly laughed in a low voice, but the smile was clearly a little self-deprecating and choked.

"I'm not dreaming, and in my lifetime, I can hear this voice again. But...... Isn't our star stream dead? ”
