Chapter 036: The Cripple and the Old Man
The cafeteria of Base No. 6 suddenly became lively, because an old man came to the cafeteria, holding a little girl, and when the two of them lined up to eat, it attracted the attention of hundreds of people and caused a lot of whispered discussions.
"It's him, it's him, it's him."
"Who?"
"A peerless master."
"What peerless master?"
"Oh, I forgot you didn't go to see it at work, let me tell you, didn't a spaceship come today, Azure Star came, there were a thousand people coming, they just got off the spaceship and had to compete."
"Tournament?"
"Yes, it's this old man, ah no, it's this peerless master old man."
"Did you secretly buy alcohol and drink it? Let me smell your mouth. ”
"Fuck off, no kidding, don't look at this old gentleman's age, look at his height, look at his skeleton, it's a humanoid murder weapon."
"You mean, this old gentleman is very good at fighting? At this age, you are still very capable of fighting? ”
"It's not me, it's the truth, do you know who this old gentleman's opponent is?"
"Who?"
"Han Li."
"Han Li? This name sounds familiar. ”
"Special mecha warrior, Major Han Li with seventy-three gold stars on the exclusive mecha."
"Ah, I remember, isn't he a captain?"
"The last battle merit was promoted, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Major Han Li is very capable of fighting, but this old gentleman defeated Major Han Li."
"Damn, can this old gentleman still wear armor at such an age? How many gold stars are there on his mech? ”
"He doesn't have a mecha, he's not a mecha warrior, they fight after unarmouring."
"After the armor is removed? it, it's really fake, I know Han Li because he once lost to Colonel Li Yuanba, I heard that the loss is not ugly, and now you tell me that this old gentleman defeated Major Han Li? ”
"Yes, let me tell you, this time Major Han Li lost ugly, ...... at the time"
People's whispered discussions because of the large number of people, because of word of mouth, so that the originally quiet canteen finally has some of the appearance of the Azure Star Canteen, but these voices did not affect Ji Xinghe, he was just a little worried about his granddaughter because of those attentions.
"Xinxin, do you want to eat in this cafeteria, or do you want to go back to your room to eat?"
"Xinxin wants to eat in the cafeteria, because there are so many people in the cafeteria."
"Okay, let's eat in the cafeteria."
The grandfather and grandson held a dinner plate, found an empty place and sat down and began to eat, originally Ji Xinghe wanted to help Xinxin serve the plate, but Xinxin insisted on serving it herself. The location is also very easy to find, although the resident population of the No. 6 base is about 30,000 people, and the area of the canteen does not seem to be large, but the time for everyone to eat is not concentrated, morning, noon and evening three meals each has two hours, and the normal people who come to eat are eaten and left, and they will not stay in the canteen for more time, and they eat very quickly.
The dinner is very rich, the staple food is rice and steamed buns, and the dish is one meat and two vegetables, which is really hearty on the alien planet, even if there are only three meat slices in the meat dish.
"I don't want it, grandpa eats."
Xinxin said, sandwiching the slices of meat that Ji Xinghe put on her dinner plate, and then sandwiched it back into Ji Xinghe's plate, and the six-year-old child was very skilled with chopsticks.
"Xinxin, don't be dirty, grandpa's chopsticks are useless."
"Xinxin doesn't dislike grandpa, my mother said that you can grow up by eating meat, and grandpa also needs to eat meat."
Grandpa can't grow up anymore.
Ji Xinghe sighed in his heart and explained seriously: "Grandpa has grown up, you don't need to grow any longer, Xinxin has to grow up." And grandpa ate a lot of meat on the Azure Star. ”
"Azure Star?"
Shin Shin's eyes were filled with unprecedented longing, which made Ji Xinghe feel very distressed, and regretted that he had accidentally mentioned the Azure Star just now, he wanted to tell Shin Shin everything on the Azure Star, but he didn't know if it would make Shin Shin sad.
Fortunately, someone came in time to relieve the siege.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ji, can I sit here and talk to you?"
Ji Xinghe wanted to refuse, because he didn't want anyone to disturb his granddaughter's dinner, but when he saw the person coming clearly, he nodded directly.
"Absolutely."
"Thank you."
The man was polite, but when he sat down, it was not as easy as he said, because he only had one leg and the other leg was a mechanical prosthesis. Judging from the way he carefully sat down, he was not used to mechanical prosthetics, but after sitting down, his back was very straight, and his upright posture indicated that he was a soldier, the badge on his chest indicated that his class was a mecha warrior, and the rank on the epaulette was a second lieutenant.
"Mr. Ji, I have a straight temperament and have something to say." The second lieutenant mecha warrior looked at Ji Xinghe with burning eyes: "I want to know, can I still fight like this?" ”
Ji Xinghe didn't answer, but asked directly: "Why are you asking me?" ”
"Because you are a peerless master, Major Han Li said that you are a peerless master, and you also defeated Major Han Li."
"But we fought after removing the armor, you don't know that we fought once before in armor, and I was killed by him in seconds. You are a mecha warrior, you should fight through armor, you should ask more professional people. ”
"But they won't let me wear it." The second lieutenant's mecha warrior's tone was calm, but his eyes turned red in an instant: "They said that I was missing a leg, I was not as good as a normal person, and I couldn't wear armor anymore, but I still wanted to wear armor, I still wanted to fight, Mr. Ji, you are a peerless master, can you tell me that I really can't fight if I lose a leg?" ”
Ji Xinghe was silent, he didn't know how to answer this question, because it was beyond his level of knowledge, he had never piloted a real mecha, and he had never used a mechanical prosthetic.
But the eyes of the second lieutenant officer in front of him were full of pleading, just like the look in Ji Chenxing's eyes when he said that he wanted to apply for the military academy and join the army to come to another star.
Combat, mechanical prosthetics, mechs...... Maybe it's not beyond my level of knowledge?
Ji Xinghe said calmly: "You stand up." ”
The second lieutenant officer got up with his hands pressed on the dining table, then stepped out of the chair, and then carefully pulled out his mechanical prosthetic leg, standing beside Ji Xinghe like a javelin.
Ji Xinghe also stood up.
"Arms stretched out, body relaxed."
The second lieutenant officer did what he said, obedient like a child of Xinxin, Xinxin was very obedient partly because she thought that no one would want her except Ji Xinghe, and the second lieutenant officer was obedient because he had no one else to help him except Ji Xinghe.
When everyone in the base said that he could no longer wear armor, he could only pin his hopes on the peerless master Ji Xinghe. Even if it was only the first time they met, and he even forgot to introduce his name because he was so excited, this was his only hope.
The people around looked at it curiously, so they saw Ji Xinghe stretching out his hand and groping on the body of the second lieutenant officer.
What's going on?
As soon as Shen Mu entered the cafeteria, he saw Ji Xinghe touching the second lieutenant officer, and he was immediately furious: "Lao Ji, you still say that you can't touch the bones?" ”
