.

The team returned to the Peach Blossom Source Galaxy, back to the civilian land that had been abandoned for a long time, the last time they arrived, it was *** bright, colorful flowers, flashing lights, and crowds of people everywhere to welcome them, now it was only a few days, and the empty Nanshan colony was shrouded in darkness under the faint starlight, except for the occasional whining sound of sand and dust whining by the breeze, it was like a ghost town.

Several starships were parked at the same location as they were last moored, and after contacting the Conderas administrator of the New South Hill colony and obtaining his permission, the crews went about their work - searching for food reserves, collecting and processing algae, hunting fresh seafood, and inspecting and collecting spare parts for several old starships...... Separately carried out activities, Yao issued a strict order, except for food, it is forbidden to collect personal belongings left here at will, but industrial machinery, equipment, daily tools, etc., which are helpful to maintain the normal operation of the fleet, are not limited to this, as for Schneier's starfighter fishing plan, it was unceremoniously vetoed by Riseen, just kidding, this opening can't be 'messy', now is the time to be economical, Schneier is of course no problem to play alone, but if the other pilots on the ship want to try it, So what does he do? If you don't agree, it seems that he is unjust, favoring one over the other, if you agree, all of them will come, then there is a problem, it is obviously not a good idea to let the starfighters consume in this kind of meaningless action, they will not achieve the goal of temporarily solving the shortage of spare parts by reducing the activities of ships and fighters, and good steel still has to be used on the blade. Especially at such a critical time.

Seriously, he really wanted to have fun, but he still resisted his impulse, and later, when he returned to the alliance to control the galaxy and had no more worries, he promised that he would not care if they wanted to fish or bird. That's what made Schneier extinguish this 'interesting' idea......

Now. Risen stands beneath a large cargo starship in the distance. He was using a communication device to talk to Yao on the Archangel.

“...... It is estimated that it will take a few days at most to refill our food reserves. Yao waved Captain Adita's report to Risen on the screen, and said with satisfaction, "Although the people of Nanshan Colony have not left us a lot of food, plus the seaweed and seafood collected and processed in addition, it is enough for us to hold on for a long time. ”

"Thanks to the help of the administrator of Condras." Ruisson smiled, "He knows exactly where the Nanshan colony is, Sonia's team doesn't need to bother to find it at all, just follow the location he gave, and find it as soon as they find it, if it weren't for the night to hinder the movement a little, maybe it would have been completed in two days." It's a pity that we can't take advantage of the daylight hours. ”

"The intensity of the radiation during the day is too great. Without shields and hull protection, it is quite dangerous for our people to work in the sun, and it is inconvenient to wear protective clothing. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I think, in two or three days, the empire still has this patience, even if we can rush back, it's useless. ”

She continued, "The problem of food reserves has been largely solved, how is your search for useful spare parts progressing?" ”

"Well, it's not very good, some old ships," Risen glanced at the ship above, "I'm afraid it's more appropriate to call it wreckage, and the better ones are less usable, very limited, after all, it's two eras of things, I've asked Dr. Lippmann and his technical team to help, with their help, the identification and search work can be faster." ”

"Understood, come on, oh, and, if you're okay with this side and can get the job done in three days, then it's tentatively scheduled for the fourth night to hold a fleet-wide seaside party." Yao laughed half-jokingly.

"You can rest assured, in fact, our job is more to find more usable things, but there may not be much, so the amount of dismantling and moving is not very much, I divided the group into ten teams, each team to inspect an old ship, according to the current condition, if nothing else, three days, I think it is enough."

"Okay, I won't bother you, if there is any special situation, I'll contact you, over." The girl smiled and waved her hand, cutting off the communication.

The carnival began as expected, from the seashore to the colony, to the vicinity of the ships in the dark night, there were scattered bonfires, people sat around the fire in groups, orange flames reflected their faces, they ate and drank, and laughed, talked, sang, and played

The difference between the captain and the crew is not the difference between the pilot and the ground crew, there is a group of men and women who are excited, laughing and having fun, and the personnel of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet, including the core of the fleet, are composed of young people in their twenties and thirties, and what they lack most is infinite vitality and vitality.

They opened their minds to the fullest, happily enjoying the rare field party in the interval between battles, after Yao personally left the field and performed an unrestrained solo dance, the warm atmosphere of the scene was brought to the top, and there were cheers and applause and whistles everywhere, after all, the girl as the commander of the fleet and the flower of the fleet, such a performance is rare, many people couldn't help but stand up, dance to the beat of the music, and dance to the girl's dance steps......

Years later, when many veterans recalled this period of their fighting career, although it had nothing to do with the battle, almost no one did not mention that this night, that beautiful and noble flower of holiness, that was one of the deepest impressions in their memory.

The large-scale carnival continued until late at night, when it gradually subsided, and the crowd gradually dispersed and disappeared into the surrounding darkness, in pairs, at this time, P. had already unconsciously crept into his private time......

"Whew, I'm really tired tonight." Ressen lamented as he lay down on a stretch of sand.

"Fei Lun is not tired, what are you tired of?" Sonia sat next to him and gently slapped him, "Your tiredness is not as poor as my feet, dancing with some idiot, I don't know how many times I have been stepped on." ”

"Hee-hee, I'm glad I'm smart." Yao also sat down and teased, "Ruisen, the ones who danced with you are like Jessica and Xiaojing..... I'm afraid no one can escape your poisonous feet. ”

"This, don't mention this kind of thing." Risen was embarrassed, he had never learned this in a serious way, and letting him fly fighter planes and fight wars was so-so, this kind of thing was a layman of laymen.

"Hmph, of course I have to mention it, I have to strengthen your training and study in this area in the future, otherwise, not only will you lose your own face, but even Fei Lun and I will feel embarrassed to see Xiaojing's exaggerated appearance...... What are you looking at? ”

"Starry sky." As if he hadn't heard her, Risen stretched out his right hand, palm outstretched, three fingers together in the middle, thumb and little finger apart, and slashed from left to right in front of his eyes, like a fighter jet with its wings spread across the starry sky. "After spending so much time in space, I almost forgot what it was like to be on the ground, looking up through the atmosphere, and now looking at it again, it's so beautiful."

"yes." Risen reminded Yao at the same time, and the girl also slowly lay down, seemingly a little tired, "It seems that it has been a long time since I left home, and I am about to regard the Archangel number as my home." ”

"You're homesick." Sonia shook her head slightly, spread Ressen's left hand, and lay down as well, using his left hand as a pillow.

"Hmm!" As if echoing Sonia, his right hand was also grabbed by Yao Yi, acting as the corner of another pillow.

"Actually, I didn't have a home a long time ago, and my home in the New London Galaxy was probably confiscated by the Empire a long time ago, after knowing about Dranov, although I said that Schneier's idea of the New London Galaxy was whimsical, but I really thought that if the fleet could go to the New London System, it would be good, maybe I could go back and see what has become of it now."

"But," he turned his head sideways, looked at the two delicate faces on the left and right, and a burst of warmth welled up in his chest, "I have found you, I still have you, and it is the greatest happiness of my life to meet you." ”

"Don't worry, we'll have a home in the future." Two pieces of warm softness were gently reflected on Rissen's cheeks.

"Risson, what do you want your home to be in the future?" On the other side, two small hands gently grasped the palms that were pillowed under him.

"Well, I wish it was a large red pine house, two floors, with a little pavilion...... Ah, there's a big garden full of tulips of all colors......"

"I also like, uh, I wish it was built at the foot of the hill and could always look at the seaside, with a vast sandy beach where we could lie quietly and watch the stars, just like ...... now"

........

In the soft voice, the three figures gradually merged together in the darkness, and faintly in the sound of the wind and the waves, heavy panting and irrepressible moaning could be heard from time to time......
