Hungry dragon cubs come to the door
Chapter 24 "Little beauty, what should I do?"
The second "efficacy" of the pomegranate fruit was fierce. Yu Yan struggled in the fire and the ocean, tossing and turning, unable to calm down, feeling terribly uncomfortable.
Until something suddenly pried his mouth open.
It is the tip of Ah Hou's tail.
As a soldier, he should attach great importance to his physical condition. Right now, he has taken the medicine of spring, and he is sensitive everywhere.feel.
Yu Yan was already very uncomfortable, but the giant beast's tail poked him so unexpectedly that he almost vomited.
The human conditioned reflex wants to close the mouth, but because the thick tail blocks it, the mouth cannot be closed, and the mouth is sore and painful.
He couldn't bite Ah Hou's tail, he couldn't bite it, he couldn't resist it at all.
The human subconsciously believed that the giant beast would not hurt him, so he no longer struggled, and only whimpered because of the discomfort.
It turned out that when Ah Hou was at the bottom of the cave, every time he fed him water, he was very rough, and the scales scratched his throat several times.
It wasn't until Yu Yan asked Xue Tuanzi to communicate in the middle, telling Ah Hou that he could eat without its help, that he obtained the right to drink water independently.
Ah Hou probably just saw him struggling in a coma and losing the ability to take care of himself again, so he repeated this scene.
The giant beast tightened its tail at his voice and seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Then, a juice with a faint bitter taste flowed down the tip of the tail into the throat of the human.
Yu Yan took a lot of medicine in the orphanage, ate the spoiled leftovers deliberately left for him by others in the "Morning Star Project", and ate weeds and bark to satisfy his hunger in the field survival class of the senior year of the First Military Academy.
But he had never tasted anything so bitter in his life.
The juice was so bitter that his stomach was overwhelmed, and the tip of his tongue was numb. Even if he was stretched to the throat by Ah Hou just now, he didn't want to vomit as much as he does now.
Yu Yan's brain seemed to be split in two, one half clamored to spit out all the anti-human things immediately, while the other half calmly warned Ah Hou that there must be a purpose in doing so.
In the end, the half that trusted Ah Hou gained the upper hand.
Yu Yan won the bet again: Ah Hou didn't harm him.
Although this unknown tree sap or fruit juice is bitter, it has miraculous effects. Not long after Yu Yan swallowed it, the dryness and heat radiating from the body from the inside out actually eased a lot, and it no longer looks like a sponge soaked in water.
Ah Hou is worthy of being the master of the forest (he has just been appointed), and he knows all kinds of plants. Not only does he know what can feed him, but he can also distinguish what can detoxify.
Yu Yan thought drowsily that Ah Hou's level of wisdom might be far beyond his estimation.
The hallucinations of pomegranate fruit, the medicine of spring and bitter juice take turns to ravage weak human beings.After reading it again, Yu Yan was so tired that he was about to fall asleep again, but suddenly he was suspended in the air.
Something smooth but hard was against the back of his neck.
Yu Yan was stunned for that indescribable... eerie feeling that made one's scalp tingle. This is... teeth?
Ah Hou picked him up?
This is an experience that has never been experienced before. After all, the head of a giant beast with a height of seven or eight meters is larger than that of a human being, and its teeth have unimaginable strength.
Yu Yan instinctively wanted to break free, but the sequelae just now hadn't completely dissipated, and her limbs were still limp, like jelly.
He suddenly understood why Ah Hou didn't choose the usual way of wrapping his tail around him, and the human being who couldn't hold it would probably slide down.
Yu Yan raised her face, thinking that she finally had a chance to see what this big guy looks like.
...and then Ahou's tail covered his eyes.
Yu Yan would not be so stupid as to use his hands to break off its tail.
Well, obviously, Ah Hou didn't want him to see him.
What kind of reason would make it do this?
Inexplicably, Yu Yan thought of the ugly "Falami" he saw in the previous illusion, and asked unsteadily, "Ahou, do you think you are ugly?"
Before the giant beast could answer, he said to himself again: "It's okay, I won't despise you."
Ah Hou: "..."
Not long ago, when he was at the bottom of the cave, Ah Hou would snuggle beside him like a big dog, whimpering and acting like a baby. Now that he was picked up from the forest, he has not "said" anything except normal panting.
Yu Yan thought, this guy won't be still angry because of his escape.
As before, he held Ah Hou's tail with open arms, and rubbed his icy scales with his cheek.
"I always have to go back to fix my eyes." After a while, he said softly, "This is how I can see you."
Ah Hou still didn't make a sound.
Yu Yan slandered, I finally managed to see it, but you didn't let me see it.
He just wanted to see with his own eyes the appearance of his savior, is it so difficult?
The tail moved away from his eyes.
Yu Yan's heart trembled, thinking that Ah Hou had figured out that pets are not beautiful or ugly to their owners (they each have their own opinions on who treats whom as a pet), and just as he was about to get up to look again, his tail covered his eyes again. caught his face.
Yu Yan: "..."
He sighed: "I promise not to look at you, okay? You can trust me."
The tail moved away from his face and flicked on the ground irritably, as if to say trust you.
In the last reply, he said that he would not leave him, but in the end he ran away with his fur ball and didn't come back for many days.
It will not believe in scheming and cunning human beings, and it is more appropriate to be tied to it——
No.
Ah Hou's golden pupils blinked slowly.
Keeping a bird, locked in a cage, is not a good way to submit to yourself.
If you want to confirm whether the bird belongs to you, then let it fly.
If it is, it will always come back.
The giant beast understands this truth quite well - Yu Yan, who has been "missing" for half a month, has come back to the depths of the forest to look for himself, which is proof.
This beautiful bird is his.
What's more, today's refreshed human beings look more...much delicious than the bottom of the cave.
Especially when it was in a coma just now, it had never seen it before...
These are the beauties that human beings cannot see when they stay by their side.
Ah Hou narrowed his eyes, and his steps towards the lair faltered.
It has a new idea.
Yu Yan didn't quite remember how he passed out again. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not a dark cave, but a yellowish ceiling and old light tubes.
This is... Ah Hou has evolved to the point where he can use electrical appliances.
Something is approaching.
He hadn't fully woken up yet, and subconsciously called out, "Ahou...?"
"Officer Yu!" The young and unfamiliar voice hurriedly approached, "You're awake, are you okay? What are you talking about?"
A series of questions caught the dazed Yu Yan by surprise. He regained his clarity and saw a pair of big black and white eyes.
His eyes are very dark, his skin is also very dark, very thin, his face has no flesh, his cheekbones are protruding, and he looks malnourished.
Only those eyes were really bright, shining with an innocent light that shouldn't belong to soldiers.
Yu Yan's brain hasn't completely turned the corner from the forest, but he also understands that he has returned to the human realm.
Ah Hou sent him back?
That Ah Hou who was furious when he tried to escape, wishing he could tie him to his tail and never go anywhere?Take the initiative to send him to human hands?
Yu Yan has a vague sense of ominousness, but the most important thing right now is not to figure out the psychology of the giant beast, but to figure out the situation: "Where is this?"
The boy was elated: "This is the base. You were sent to the junction of the forest and the base by kind people. The patrol team found you and sent you back. We thought you were a lost resident nearby, but someone Said that you looked familiar, and after comparing, I found that you are the Chief Yu who came to take over! You are more handsome than the photo!!"
... Was it really sent by a kind "someone"?
Yu Yan didn't respond to his sincere praise: "Then what about you, who are you?"
The boy suddenly realized that he didn't introduce himself just now: "My name is Alan! Officer Yu, I am your personal soldier."
Yu Yan felt subtle about the word "personal soldier" for a while, but didn't show it, and asked, "What's your last name? I'm used to calling you by your full name."
Alan showed a bit of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't have a last name. I'm an orphan. All orphans here only have first names."
It seems that the customs on the Noah planet are different from those on the parent planet.
The children in Yu Yan's welfare home all have their own full names, which is convenient for registration.
Some were abandoned by their parents, or their parents still remembered their original names when they passed away, some were given by nuns or anonymous patrons, and there were also random combinations—that’s how the name "Yu Yan" came about.
Ah Lan looked too immature, only fourteen or fifteen years old, no more than 16 years old.
Although the empire is divided into adult boundaries like most countries, the conscription regulations must be at least 20 years old, and violators will be punished.
But appearance is very confusing for people to judge age. Yu Yan himself has been questioned more than once because he looks thinner than other soldiers.
He simply asked directly: "Are you an adult?"
Ah Lan's bright black eyes blinked, but she didn't answer immediately, she hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Twenty!"
For this kind of outspoken child, they usually say something immediately.
Hesitation is equivalent to another secret.
Yu Yan slightly emphasized his tone: "Hiding the report to the superior will be very troublesome."
What he said was neither a direct threat nor a deterrent.
As expected, Ah Lan's expression collapsed: "...I'm sorry, Officer Yu, I'm seventeen at the end of the year." After a while, he added in a panic, "Please don't tell others! I, I promised them not to tell!"
Yu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
The kid was only 17 years old, and he was ordered not to tell the new chief that he must not be the only underage conscript here.
And Yu Yan had a hunch that this was only the slightest of the various violations on Noah Star.
Alan stared at the officer worriedly, wondering if the other party would make any decision immediately.
At this time, another burly man walked in with a cup, and his eyes lit up as he glanced at the bed: "Officer Yu, you're awake!"
A Lan ran over: "Brother Min, I'll get the cup."
"Go and go, you are clumsy, don't spill it. How is it, sir, are you all right?"
The last sentence is for Yu Yan.
Yu Yan nodded cautiously.
The side effects of pomegranate fruit have indeed subsided, which is the biggest good news so far.
The man put the water on the bedside table and saluted him: "Report sir, my name is Huang Yangmin, Sergeant Major, and I am now in charge of training new recruits and handling some chores."
A Lan also stood up straight, saluted like Huang Yangmin, and smiled: "Reporting officer, I am Sergeant A Lan, and I am responsible for taking care of you, you already know."
Huang Yangmin's eyebrows were black and thick, and after hearing Alan's words, he raised them hilariously, and patted the back of his head hard: "Stinky boy, how many times have I told you—to use 'you' for the officer! "
A Lan covered her head and said angrily: "Don't knock, you will become stupid!"
"You're not smart."
"You... a big idiot!!"
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing..."
Two months of time in the cave, a week of coma, a week of hospital treatment, plus going to the recuperation star and returning to the Noah star, recently his life seems to have been soundproofed, and it is always extraordinarily quiet.
It's been a long time since I've heard such a noisy noise.
Just like when he was still in school, although he was just a non-participating bystander, he could always hear the laughter of others, as if he was vividly alive.
Yu Yan listened to the quarrel between the two, there was a trace of familiarity in the clamor, a trace of nostalgia in the familiarity, and a trace of headache in the nostalgia.
He raised his hand to stop the argument between the two: "...it doesn't matter, you don't need the honorific title."
Both of them shut their mouths at the same time and looked at him eagerly, as if they were waiting for him to give justice.
Of course, Yu Yan couldn't give a verdict on these trivial matters, so he decided to change the subject: "Can you introduce the situation here?"
As soon as the two heard it, they forgot the previous incident smoothly, and rushed to introduce the situation of the garrison base and Noah star.
A Lan and Huang Yangmin are ordinary warm-hearted, with no lofty ideals and no evil intentions.
Yu Yan felt a rare sense of bewilderment.
Whether it is Colonel Lin or the teacher, including the roommates who have only heard the rumors, they have told him that there are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers on the Noah star, and it is very difficult for local residents or the garrison.
But the ones he has met so far, be it Ah Hou or Ning Ning, the current A Lan and Huang Yangmin, all of them care for him very much, and they seem to be very simple and honest.
Could it be that the real challenge has not yet begun?
The rotation of the companion star Noah is similar to that of the parent star. The days in summer are long, and there is sunshine early before six o'clock.
Whether it is the garrisons of the Noah star and other companion stars, or the Expeditionary Force of the Second Empire, including deep space, they should abide by the regulations of the First Empire and be on duty at seven o'clock every day.
But Noah Star is isolated from the world, and no one cares about it, there is no organization and discipline, how free and loose it is.
Even though today was the day when the new commander took office, the soldiers still procrastinated and yawned until almost nine o'clock before arriving at the assembly point.
The area of Noah Star is not small, half forest, half desert, and the base is on the border.
There were a total of three hundred people in the garrison, but less than two hundred actually came.
If it hadn't been for the agreement to show off the newcomer, the old Hammer and the ruffian would be absent.
The two mingled in the team that usually formed cliques, and walked leisurely to the open field.
They have also heard about the situation on other planets. Whether a new official takes office, whether it is a reward or a farewell, at least there is an auditorium, no matter whether it is repaired or not.
And no matter what they do, they only have a pitiful piece of land, without even a fence, and several rows of fences are crumbling here and there, still to protect the farmland outside.
They were the last to arrive, and as far as the eye could see, there were a hundred or so sparse people who seemed to be going to the market. Some chatted, some dozed off, and some simply sat on the ground and played cards.
The soldiers were crumbling like the outer fence, and they didn't look like the imperial army at all.
The old Hammer and the ruffian deliberately squeezed into the front row, in order to have a glimpse of the new commander's demeanor.
Someone brought back a person near the base yesterday, who is said to be the commander.
But he has been in the infirmary, and few people have seen him.
In the middle of the front row, a wooden platform was built for the leader to speak. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and it creaks when walking on it. Maybe it will be empty sometime.
Other planets entered the new interstellar era more than 100 years ago and used all kinds of high-tech gadgets. At the same time, the poor planet Noah still uses the things left over from the old era.
For example, if the angle on the table is not right, the microphone will make a sharp and harsh sound.
The person fiddling with the microphone on the stage was none other than Huang Yangmin.
Huang Yangmin was no longer young. He was in his thirties and was still a poor sergeant major, serving tea and water for the incoming second lieutenant who was only in his early twenties.
Just by looking at it, Old Hammer felt ashamed for him.
Old Hammer and Huang Yangmin have some connections, they were dispatched by the same group back then—or exiled to Noah planet.
The difference is that not long after Old Hammer was completely disappointed with life and started to dawdle, Huang Yangmin has been full of enthusiasm for this job for several years, and seems to still hold the naive desire to build Noah into a first-level companion star in the Alpha Quadrant .
Putting it on other planets can still be said to be a beautiful vision, Noah Star?It can only be said to be ridiculous.
Old Hammer has never liked this kind of people who are full of enthusiasm for life.
Such a person is like a mirror, illuminating the other kind of decadent person very clearly.
And he happens to be in the latter category.
Huang Yangmin was busy on it, adjusting the microphone and cleaning the table, his expression was so happy that he almost hummed.
Old Hammer is obviously not the only one who doesn't like him.
The ruffian came over and wanted to say something to him, when suddenly he saw a black wind blowing past.
It's Alan.
The 17-year-old native of Noah was black and thin, and he was just a little monkey in their eyes.
You can't do anything, but run fast.
Alan has a bright smile that is incompatible with the desolate Noah star, even more eye-catching than Huang Yangmin.
But this kid is very warm to everyone, even if he sweetly calls uncle or brother to these old guys, it makes people feel uncomfortable to face him coldly.
Yesterday Alan told them that she had great news, but she was very secretive and refused to say what it was.
From today's perspective... [-]% of it has something to do with the new commander.
A Lan and Huang Yangmin whispered a few words, the latter nodded and picked up the microphone: "Everyone be quiet, the chief will be here soon."
This is just a formality, no one listens to him at all.
The black A Lan ran away again.
Everyone was chattering about what kind of person the new guy was, or he was a sharp-eyed ruffian, and saw a somewhat slender figure appearing in the corner of the gathering place.
He was wearing a military cap inlaid with silver, representing the officer, a dark green garrison uniform, and wearing the Medal of Honor of the First Military Academy, which symbolizes outstanding graduates. He walked slowly through the scene under the eyes of all kinds On the ground, stepped onto the podium.
When the face under the shadow of the brim of the hat was clearly seen, there was an uproar in the audience.
The black hair is smooth, the skin is fair, the eyelashes are thick, and the eyes are quiet.
Lily and handsome, like the pampered young master of a big family.
Even if you don't become a star in the entertainment circle, you should quietly do something like artistic creation.
In short, it has nothing to do with the soldiers who fight in the rain and wind all year round and fight in the mud and gunpowder smoke.
However, this little guy in front of him who seems to fall down at the first touch is actually the new chief of their notorious garrison?
"Ha, are you kidding me?"
"That's it? That's it?"
"Did he go to the wrong place?"
"Why, is the empire seeing that the brothers are too lonely, and sent a little girl to satisfy our greed?"
"Are you here to be an officer, or a military prostitute?"
"Ham, you don't understand, maybe it was brought by the officer, helping to clean the gun during the day, and also cleaning the gun at night..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The ridicule and obscenity in the words were so obvious that everyone laughed wantonly.
The commander glanced around lightly, then lowered his eyes to check the information on the PADD, turning a deaf ear to any gossip: "All absentees will have their credit points deducted by 30% this month."
Before this person arrived, although the previous commander, Colonel Lin, had been on Noah for more than ten years, he was old and in poor health due to old wounds from the war. Most of the things were actually taken care of by his adjutant.
During the years of Colonel Lin's tenure, adjutants came and went, if not twenty, there were more than a dozen. No one could bear the environment of Noah Star and this group of subordinates who did whatever they wanted.
There are three new officials who take office, and each of them will come up with some fancy regulations, thinking that they can cleanse the old environment and revive the Noah star.
They also quickly lost in front of reality.
The soldiers have long seen the essence: no officer will stay here forever, so there is no need to follow anyone's rules.
The ruffian smacked his lips: "Little beauty, do you think there is room to spend money here? The last time I had a drink was last year. If you want to deduct it, you can deduct it. It doesn't matter if you deduct it all."
Old Hammer almost burst out laughing at the address he chose, and gave him a thumbs up.
The ruffian also smiled complacently.
"Really." The commander's tone was very flat, as if he was not surprised by the provocation, as if he hadn't heard the address, "Then deduct three days' meals."
He looked in the ruffian's direction and smiled slightly: "Even if there is no meal, I believe you can still fill your stomach, right?"
The ruffian was startled for a moment by the stretched smile of the commander, whose mood hadn't changed, before he realized what he meant.
"I……"
The commander ignored him, and continued: "I hope that when someone speaks in the future, other people will be quieter. Whether it is me, other officers, or anyone."
His voice was not loud, his tone was as calm as his expression, and he didn't mean to blame.
It just seemed to have magical powers, making the noisy soldiers calm down layer by layer like waves.
The young chief named more than a dozen names, but did not let them stand out: "Except for them, everyone else bears weight for ten kilometers."
Another uproar.
Someone protested angrily why, Yu Yan glanced at him and read out the name.
The man was taken aback.
Yu Yan said two more names: "You guys have been playing cards just now, haven't you?"
The three showed embarrassing expressions.
They would never believe that the new chief, who has only been here for more than ten minutes, can remember his name, which is so ordinary, someone must have informed him!
But besides the chief, there was no one else besides Huang Yangmin and A Lan.
Even these two people did not have any direct contact with the officer.
Who - who could it be?
Looking at their expressions, Yu Yan knew that these people were thinking wildly and didn't care, so she patiently explained: "The people I mentioned just now were very attentive when I was talking. I hope other people can do the same in the future."
Someone suddenly understood.
The commander observed the movements and performances of every one of the hundred or so people in the audience while he was speaking just now.
Then when did he match the names and looks of the three hundred people on the PADD roster one by one?
You know, a former adjutant stayed here for almost three years and didn't remember it.
What an astonishing insight and memory this overly young second lieutenant has!
The commander added: "Those who haven't finished their training before dinner, don't have to eat dinner."
He sounded like he was discussing the nice weather today, rather than making a penalty decision that almost wiped out the team.
"Huang Yangmin."
"Here!" The man's voice was resounding, his puffed up chest was as proud of his small job as always.
"You are in charge of supervision."
"Yes!"
"Alan."
"Here!" The boy's answer was even louder.
"Notify the cafeteria that there is no need to prepare meals today."
The young man hesitated: "Then sir...don't you eat it yourself?"
Yu Yan seemed to be talking to him, but he was speaking to the audience: "Those who have called their names, I will prepare today's dinner."
After he finished speaking, he stepped off the stage and left.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Being able to dine with the officer is a reward, not to mention the officer prepares it himself.
Not to mention the Noah star, even if you look at the entire empire, there are probably not many precedents.
The dozen or so people named were more surprised than others.
Not every one of their original intentions is to concentrate on listening to the commander's speech. Some are sleepy, some are wandering, and some simply like the commander's slightly alienated but not indifferent voice, or simply covet that pretty face...
But it was such a crooked attack, and they were so pleasantly surprised.
When they came back to their senses, their cheeks were flushed with excitement, their eyes were shining, and they hurried back to the dormitory to freshen up and dress up. They were more pious than dating the person they liked.
One punishment and one reward, one piece and one relaxation, no need to waste a lot of words and lectures or even intimidation, just a few words let everyone know what to do and what not to do tomorrow.
The wrist is quite impressive.
"It's just buying people's hearts, who can't do it anymore." The ruffian still sneered, "Isn't it?"
Old Hammer didn't answer, but frowned.
The pretty and frail canary showed them that he was not a caged bird in a fairly simple way.
But what is the real face?
The commander has already left, and many people are still unable to recover.
It wasn't until Huang Yangmin urged them to run quickly, that there were some leftovers in the cafeteria yesterday, and those who finished running early could still have a bite, did they scramble to strap on the load-bearing apparatus.
One suddenly asked: "Old Huang, we don't know what the officer's last name is?"
The others also raised their heads upon hearing this.
"The surname is Yu." Huang Yangmin introduced triumphantly, as if the person who made everyone respect and fear him was himself, "——depressed you little bastards!"
After nightfall, the base is very quiet, only the sound of wind and the faint sound of insects.
Of course, the commander's room is not next to other people. Originally, Noah Star is far away from human settlements, and this place is even more isolated.
Fortunately, Yu Yan is used to being alone, enjoys alone time, and doesn't feel lonely.
Yu Yan sat by the window, getting very close to pure nature.
He was busy in the past twenty years, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the world, and rarely had such a quiet moment, which unexpectedly made him feel comfortable.
Although when the soldiers were summoned today, it was obvious that those people had strong hostility towards him, and they would definitely cause him trouble in the future, but this did not affect Yu Yan's growing feeling towards this mysterious planet of dark green and red and red. Strong curiosity.
Curiosity is often the beginning of attraction.
Whether it's the soldiers who are waiting to be rebuilt, or the mysterious Xuetuanzi with high-level psychic powers, and what he wants to know most about Ah Hou - all of these must and can only be found on the planet Noah Finish.
Yu Yan's thoughts are slowly changing.
Not only was I no longer depressed about not being able to join the expeditionary force, but I even felt that maybe I would like it here.
In the past, his roommate always praised him for his good attitude and open mindedness, but Yu Yan thought it was nothing.
Humans always encounter all kinds of setbacks. Either they can think about it and keep going; or they can’t think about it, and this life will end.
He may have encountered much more setbacks than ordinary people.
If you can't think about it, you can't survive.
Speaking of which, the two times he came to Nuo'e star did not go well, and it was Ah Hou who saved him.
I don't know what the big guy is doing.
When he saw it, he seemed to have forgotten to talk about Ningning, although the other party was not curious either.
Are they friends?Or something else?
Having said that, why did the giant beast send itself back to the human realm?
Yu Yan couldn't understand it.
His thoughts drifted far away, and he was dragged back to reality by the light and dark changes of PADD's breath screen in his peripheral vision.
Yu Yan lowered his head and looked at the photo he was playing with in his hand - the kind of real photo with a frame.
In this era, there are very few places where there are physical photos on paper.
The original wood that can be used to make paper was deforested in the era of the old home planet, and almost became extinct. After the founding emperor established the new era, he set them as a second-level protected species, and no one was allowed to mine them without permission.
Today, that tree is so precious that even paper is a luxury.
However, on Dumen Xieke's Noah planet, everything seems to have stayed a hundred years ago, simple and quiet, including this primitive way of recording images.
The photo was left by Colonel Lin, the last commander of the base and the last resident of this room.
I don't know if I forgot to take it away or did it on purpose.
In the photo, there are seven or eight young people standing in a row, all in their early twenties, all straight and handsome.
They crossed their shoulders and wore the uniforms of the First Military Academy - different from Yu Yan's current style.
Behind the young people is the landmark building of the First Military Academy, a parent star surrounded by rockets—the original way for humans to explore space.
The mission of the First Military Academy is very simple, as a cohesive representative of human will, to sail deeper into the sea of stars forever.
It is not difficult to see that this is a graduation photo.
Although there were some changes from his later appearance, Yu Yan still recognized him, and the ones in the middle were his teacher and Colonel Lin.
As the second elder told him, they were early graduates of the First Military Academy, classmates, comrades who later fought side by side, and even lifelong best friends.
The photo paper looks old.
Yu Yan turned to the back, and there was a line of words: Imperial Era 77, Xia.
There is no signature or message, just a date.
What happened more than 40 years ago seemed to happen again on the opposite side through a thin piece of paper.
The young people in the photo smiled brightly at the camera without any haze.Like the current Yu Yan, they have just graduated, and the future is still far, far away.
What's more, those who can stand with the teacher must be military elites with a rating of S or above.The people in this photo may be the pillars of the country that are now distributed in the Alpha Quadrant and Beta Quadrant.
Their expressions all carried a bit of arrogance unique to the proud sons of heaven, and they tried their best to conceal the excitement in their hearts.
Only the man standing on the other side of the teacher was fearless, and even put his hand on the teacher's head for comparison.
Inexplicably, Yu Yan felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
His memory is very strong, and he can easily remember with his photographs, so he can remember the faces and names of all the troops stationed on Noah in a short period of time.
For him, as long as he has clearly seen someone in a waking state, he will never forget it.
But this person...
Yu Yan was salvaging in the ocean of memories when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
So late, who could it be?
He frowned.
Yu Yan glanced at the time and asked, "Who?"
The other party didn't hide it either: "Mr. Yu, are you still awake? I want to ask you something."
Every sentence is full of respect, but there is no sense of respect, but provocation.
This bubbly voice is no stranger, Yu Yan recognized that it was the ruffian who called him "little beauty" in the morning and took the lead in raising the bar.
In the roster given to him by Huang Yangmin, in addition to the real names of these soldiers, there are also "flower names".
After all, they usually call each other by nicknames, and Yu Yan, as an officer, must know everyone well.
Yu Yan thought about it.
He naturally wouldn't believe the ruffian's nonsense of "asking for advice", but he didn't think that the other party would do harm to him-after all, fighting against the chief and murdering the chief were completely different things.
What's more, Yu Yan has successfully survived so many times.He is sure of his own strength.
Yu Yan opened the door, and sure enough there was a ruffian standing outside.
The other party smiled at him: "It's great that you didn't sleep."
Yu Yan glanced at the ground, pursed his lips: "What's the matter?"
The ruffian said: "I heard people say that you are in school, and this is the fighting class." He thumbed up and smiled, "Can you teach me two moves?"
"I guess that's not part of my job description."
"Hey, you are the officer we respect, love, and love." The ruffian put the emphasis on the word "respect and love", "It's not difficult to take care of the studious subordinates, right?"
Yu Yan didn't say yes or no, but instead asked: "Where are you going?"
"We have a special fighting training ground." The ruffian seemed to agree with what he meant, "It's just a little bit off, I have to show you the way."
"Well, then your 'hiding' companions showed up one after another and came to communicate with me."
When Yu Yan said this, his voice was very steady, without any irritation at all, like a simple question, but it ended with a period.
The ruffian's face was a little ugly.
For some reason, Yu Yan remembered that before he went to visit the teacher at the Rehabilitation Star, after being "invited" to the other party's territory by Newman Bruce, he made the other party black out of anger.
Sometimes Yu Yan is also very puzzled, he thinks he has a good temper, and he doesn't talk with guns and sticks, and he doesn't have yin and yang, why is he always so popular?
Could it be that he is very talented and good at hating people?
It shouldn't be, he is so kind to others...
He ruled out the possibility of his bad tone, and looked at the ruffian without hesitation, but the words were not addressed to him: "Everyone, come out too, there are many mosquitoes in the corner."
There was a rustle in the grass, and then Old Hammer and several others came out one after another.
While everyone is ashamed due to grass clippings, their expressions have their own wonderful expressions.
Similar to what Yu Yan guessed, their original plan was to let the ruffian lure the kid to a remote place and then come out and have a gang fight, so that this guy can teach him a lesson.
It's not that they haven't done this kind of thing before, and it was quite effective, so they decided to repeat the same trick.
Unexpectedly, he died before leaving the teacher, and was seen through without taking a step.
It's not that he's afraid of being punished by Yu Yan—what else can he do after deducting money and meals—but it's too much.
Until something suddenly pried his mouth open.
It is the tip of Ah Hou's tail.
As a soldier, he should attach great importance to his physical condition. Right now, he has taken the medicine of spring, and he is sensitive everywhere.feel.
Yu Yan was already very uncomfortable, but the giant beast's tail poked him so unexpectedly that he almost vomited.
The human conditioned reflex wants to close the mouth, but because the thick tail blocks it, the mouth cannot be closed, and the mouth is sore and painful.
He couldn't bite Ah Hou's tail, he couldn't bite it, he couldn't resist it at all.
The human subconsciously believed that the giant beast would not hurt him, so he no longer struggled, and only whimpered because of the discomfort.
It turned out that when Ah Hou was at the bottom of the cave, every time he fed him water, he was very rough, and the scales scratched his throat several times.
It wasn't until Yu Yan asked Xue Tuanzi to communicate in the middle, telling Ah Hou that he could eat without its help, that he obtained the right to drink water independently.
Ah Hou probably just saw him struggling in a coma and losing the ability to take care of himself again, so he repeated this scene.
The giant beast tightened its tail at his voice and seemed to hesitate for a moment.
Then, a juice with a faint bitter taste flowed down the tip of the tail into the throat of the human.
Yu Yan took a lot of medicine in the orphanage, ate the spoiled leftovers deliberately left for him by others in the "Morning Star Project", and ate weeds and bark to satisfy his hunger in the field survival class of the senior year of the First Military Academy.
But he had never tasted anything so bitter in his life.
The juice was so bitter that his stomach was overwhelmed, and the tip of his tongue was numb. Even if he was stretched to the throat by Ah Hou just now, he didn't want to vomit as much as he does now.
Yu Yan's brain seemed to be split in two, one half clamored to spit out all the anti-human things immediately, while the other half calmly warned Ah Hou that there must be a purpose in doing so.
In the end, the half that trusted Ah Hou gained the upper hand.
Yu Yan won the bet again: Ah Hou didn't harm him.
Although this unknown tree sap or fruit juice is bitter, it has miraculous effects. Not long after Yu Yan swallowed it, the dryness and heat radiating from the body from the inside out actually eased a lot, and it no longer looks like a sponge soaked in water.
Ah Hou is worthy of being the master of the forest (he has just been appointed), and he knows all kinds of plants. Not only does he know what can feed him, but he can also distinguish what can detoxify.
Yu Yan thought drowsily that Ah Hou's level of wisdom might be far beyond his estimation.
The hallucinations of pomegranate fruit, the medicine of spring and bitter juice take turns to ravage weak human beings.After reading it again, Yu Yan was so tired that he was about to fall asleep again, but suddenly he was suspended in the air.
Something smooth but hard was against the back of his neck.
Yu Yan was stunned for that indescribable... eerie feeling that made one's scalp tingle. This is... teeth?
Ah Hou picked him up?
This is an experience that has never been experienced before. After all, the head of a giant beast with a height of seven or eight meters is larger than that of a human being, and its teeth have unimaginable strength.
Yu Yan instinctively wanted to break free, but the sequelae just now hadn't completely dissipated, and her limbs were still limp, like jelly.
He suddenly understood why Ah Hou didn't choose the usual way of wrapping his tail around him, and the human being who couldn't hold it would probably slide down.
Yu Yan raised her face, thinking that she finally had a chance to see what this big guy looks like.
...and then Ahou's tail covered his eyes.
Yu Yan would not be so stupid as to use his hands to break off its tail.
Well, obviously, Ah Hou didn't want him to see him.
What kind of reason would make it do this?
Inexplicably, Yu Yan thought of the ugly "Falami" he saw in the previous illusion, and asked unsteadily, "Ahou, do you think you are ugly?"
Before the giant beast could answer, he said to himself again: "It's okay, I won't despise you."
Ah Hou: "..."
Not long ago, when he was at the bottom of the cave, Ah Hou would snuggle beside him like a big dog, whimpering and acting like a baby. Now that he was picked up from the forest, he has not "said" anything except normal panting.
Yu Yan thought, this guy won't be still angry because of his escape.
As before, he held Ah Hou's tail with open arms, and rubbed his icy scales with his cheek.
"I always have to go back to fix my eyes." After a while, he said softly, "This is how I can see you."
Ah Hou still didn't make a sound.
Yu Yan slandered, I finally managed to see it, but you didn't let me see it.
He just wanted to see with his own eyes the appearance of his savior, is it so difficult?
The tail moved away from his eyes.
Yu Yan's heart trembled, thinking that Ah Hou had figured out that pets are not beautiful or ugly to their owners (they each have their own opinions on who treats whom as a pet), and just as he was about to get up to look again, his tail covered his eyes again. caught his face.
Yu Yan: "..."
He sighed: "I promise not to look at you, okay? You can trust me."
The tail moved away from his face and flicked on the ground irritably, as if to say trust you.
In the last reply, he said that he would not leave him, but in the end he ran away with his fur ball and didn't come back for many days.
It will not believe in scheming and cunning human beings, and it is more appropriate to be tied to it——
No.
Ah Hou's golden pupils blinked slowly.
Keeping a bird, locked in a cage, is not a good way to submit to yourself.
If you want to confirm whether the bird belongs to you, then let it fly.
If it is, it will always come back.
The giant beast understands this truth quite well - Yu Yan, who has been "missing" for half a month, has come back to the depths of the forest to look for himself, which is proof.
This beautiful bird is his.
What's more, today's refreshed human beings look more...much delicious than the bottom of the cave.
Especially when it was in a coma just now, it had never seen it before...
These are the beauties that human beings cannot see when they stay by their side.
Ah Hou narrowed his eyes, and his steps towards the lair faltered.
It has a new idea.
Yu Yan didn't quite remember how he passed out again. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not a dark cave, but a yellowish ceiling and old light tubes.
This is... Ah Hou has evolved to the point where he can use electrical appliances.
Something is approaching.
He hadn't fully woken up yet, and subconsciously called out, "Ahou...?"
"Officer Yu!" The young and unfamiliar voice hurriedly approached, "You're awake, are you okay? What are you talking about?"
A series of questions caught the dazed Yu Yan by surprise. He regained his clarity and saw a pair of big black and white eyes.
His eyes are very dark, his skin is also very dark, very thin, his face has no flesh, his cheekbones are protruding, and he looks malnourished.
Only those eyes were really bright, shining with an innocent light that shouldn't belong to soldiers.
Yu Yan's brain hasn't completely turned the corner from the forest, but he also understands that he has returned to the human realm.
Ah Hou sent him back?
That Ah Hou who was furious when he tried to escape, wishing he could tie him to his tail and never go anywhere?Take the initiative to send him to human hands?
Yu Yan has a vague sense of ominousness, but the most important thing right now is not to figure out the psychology of the giant beast, but to figure out the situation: "Where is this?"
The boy was elated: "This is the base. You were sent to the junction of the forest and the base by kind people. The patrol team found you and sent you back. We thought you were a lost resident nearby, but someone Said that you looked familiar, and after comparing, I found that you are the Chief Yu who came to take over! You are more handsome than the photo!!"
... Was it really sent by a kind "someone"?
Yu Yan didn't respond to his sincere praise: "Then what about you, who are you?"
The boy suddenly realized that he didn't introduce himself just now: "My name is Alan! Officer Yu, I am your personal soldier."
Yu Yan felt subtle about the word "personal soldier" for a while, but didn't show it, and asked, "What's your last name? I'm used to calling you by your full name."
Alan showed a bit of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't have a last name. I'm an orphan. All orphans here only have first names."
It seems that the customs on the Noah planet are different from those on the parent planet.
The children in Yu Yan's welfare home all have their own full names, which is convenient for registration.
Some were abandoned by their parents, or their parents still remembered their original names when they passed away, some were given by nuns or anonymous patrons, and there were also random combinations—that’s how the name "Yu Yan" came about.
Ah Lan looked too immature, only fourteen or fifteen years old, no more than 16 years old.
Although the empire is divided into adult boundaries like most countries, the conscription regulations must be at least 20 years old, and violators will be punished.
But appearance is very confusing for people to judge age. Yu Yan himself has been questioned more than once because he looks thinner than other soldiers.
He simply asked directly: "Are you an adult?"
Ah Lan's bright black eyes blinked, but she didn't answer immediately, she hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Twenty!"
For this kind of outspoken child, they usually say something immediately.
Hesitation is equivalent to another secret.
Yu Yan slightly emphasized his tone: "Hiding the report to the superior will be very troublesome."
What he said was neither a direct threat nor a deterrent.
As expected, Ah Lan's expression collapsed: "...I'm sorry, Officer Yu, I'm seventeen at the end of the year." After a while, he added in a panic, "Please don't tell others! I, I promised them not to tell!"
Yu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
The kid was only 17 years old, and he was ordered not to tell the new chief that he must not be the only underage conscript here.
And Yu Yan had a hunch that this was only the slightest of the various violations on Noah Star.
Alan stared at the officer worriedly, wondering if the other party would make any decision immediately.
At this time, another burly man walked in with a cup, and his eyes lit up as he glanced at the bed: "Officer Yu, you're awake!"
A Lan ran over: "Brother Min, I'll get the cup."
"Go and go, you are clumsy, don't spill it. How is it, sir, are you all right?"
The last sentence is for Yu Yan.
Yu Yan nodded cautiously.
The side effects of pomegranate fruit have indeed subsided, which is the biggest good news so far.
The man put the water on the bedside table and saluted him: "Report sir, my name is Huang Yangmin, Sergeant Major, and I am now in charge of training new recruits and handling some chores."
A Lan also stood up straight, saluted like Huang Yangmin, and smiled: "Reporting officer, I am Sergeant A Lan, and I am responsible for taking care of you, you already know."
Huang Yangmin's eyebrows were black and thick, and after hearing Alan's words, he raised them hilariously, and patted the back of his head hard: "Stinky boy, how many times have I told you—to use 'you' for the officer! "
A Lan covered her head and said angrily: "Don't knock, you will become stupid!"
"You're not smart."
"You... a big idiot!!"
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing..."
Two months of time in the cave, a week of coma, a week of hospital treatment, plus going to the recuperation star and returning to the Noah star, recently his life seems to have been soundproofed, and it is always extraordinarily quiet.
It's been a long time since I've heard such a noisy noise.
Just like when he was still in school, although he was just a non-participating bystander, he could always hear the laughter of others, as if he was vividly alive.
Yu Yan listened to the quarrel between the two, there was a trace of familiarity in the clamor, a trace of nostalgia in the familiarity, and a trace of headache in the nostalgia.
He raised his hand to stop the argument between the two: "...it doesn't matter, you don't need the honorific title."
Both of them shut their mouths at the same time and looked at him eagerly, as if they were waiting for him to give justice.
Of course, Yu Yan couldn't give a verdict on these trivial matters, so he decided to change the subject: "Can you introduce the situation here?"
As soon as the two heard it, they forgot the previous incident smoothly, and rushed to introduce the situation of the garrison base and Noah star.
A Lan and Huang Yangmin are ordinary warm-hearted, with no lofty ideals and no evil intentions.
Yu Yan felt a rare sense of bewilderment.
Whether it is Colonel Lin or the teacher, including the roommates who have only heard the rumors, they have told him that there are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers on the Noah star, and it is very difficult for local residents or the garrison.
But the ones he has met so far, be it Ah Hou or Ning Ning, the current A Lan and Huang Yangmin, all of them care for him very much, and they seem to be very simple and honest.
Could it be that the real challenge has not yet begun?
The rotation of the companion star Noah is similar to that of the parent star. The days in summer are long, and there is sunshine early before six o'clock.
Whether it is the garrisons of the Noah star and other companion stars, or the Expeditionary Force of the Second Empire, including deep space, they should abide by the regulations of the First Empire and be on duty at seven o'clock every day.
But Noah Star is isolated from the world, and no one cares about it, there is no organization and discipline, how free and loose it is.
Even though today was the day when the new commander took office, the soldiers still procrastinated and yawned until almost nine o'clock before arriving at the assembly point.
The area of Noah Star is not small, half forest, half desert, and the base is on the border.
There were a total of three hundred people in the garrison, but less than two hundred actually came.
If it hadn't been for the agreement to show off the newcomer, the old Hammer and the ruffian would be absent.
The two mingled in the team that usually formed cliques, and walked leisurely to the open field.
They have also heard about the situation on other planets. Whether a new official takes office, whether it is a reward or a farewell, at least there is an auditorium, no matter whether it is repaired or not.
And no matter what they do, they only have a pitiful piece of land, without even a fence, and several rows of fences are crumbling here and there, still to protect the farmland outside.
They were the last to arrive, and as far as the eye could see, there were a hundred or so sparse people who seemed to be going to the market. Some chatted, some dozed off, and some simply sat on the ground and played cards.
The soldiers were crumbling like the outer fence, and they didn't look like the imperial army at all.
The old Hammer and the ruffian deliberately squeezed into the front row, in order to have a glimpse of the new commander's demeanor.
Someone brought back a person near the base yesterday, who is said to be the commander.
But he has been in the infirmary, and few people have seen him.
In the middle of the front row, a wooden platform was built for the leader to speak. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and it creaks when walking on it. Maybe it will be empty sometime.
Other planets entered the new interstellar era more than 100 years ago and used all kinds of high-tech gadgets. At the same time, the poor planet Noah still uses the things left over from the old era.
For example, if the angle on the table is not right, the microphone will make a sharp and harsh sound.
The person fiddling with the microphone on the stage was none other than Huang Yangmin.
Huang Yangmin was no longer young. He was in his thirties and was still a poor sergeant major, serving tea and water for the incoming second lieutenant who was only in his early twenties.
Just by looking at it, Old Hammer felt ashamed for him.
Old Hammer and Huang Yangmin have some connections, they were dispatched by the same group back then—or exiled to Noah planet.
The difference is that not long after Old Hammer was completely disappointed with life and started to dawdle, Huang Yangmin has been full of enthusiasm for this job for several years, and seems to still hold the naive desire to build Noah into a first-level companion star in the Alpha Quadrant .
Putting it on other planets can still be said to be a beautiful vision, Noah Star?It can only be said to be ridiculous.
Old Hammer has never liked this kind of people who are full of enthusiasm for life.
Such a person is like a mirror, illuminating the other kind of decadent person very clearly.
And he happens to be in the latter category.
Huang Yangmin was busy on it, adjusting the microphone and cleaning the table, his expression was so happy that he almost hummed.
Old Hammer is obviously not the only one who doesn't like him.
The ruffian came over and wanted to say something to him, when suddenly he saw a black wind blowing past.
It's Alan.
The 17-year-old native of Noah was black and thin, and he was just a little monkey in their eyes.
You can't do anything, but run fast.
Alan has a bright smile that is incompatible with the desolate Noah star, even more eye-catching than Huang Yangmin.
But this kid is very warm to everyone, even if he sweetly calls uncle or brother to these old guys, it makes people feel uncomfortable to face him coldly.
Yesterday Alan told them that she had great news, but she was very secretive and refused to say what it was.
From today's perspective... [-]% of it has something to do with the new commander.
A Lan and Huang Yangmin whispered a few words, the latter nodded and picked up the microphone: "Everyone be quiet, the chief will be here soon."
This is just a formality, no one listens to him at all.
The black A Lan ran away again.
Everyone was chattering about what kind of person the new guy was, or he was a sharp-eyed ruffian, and saw a somewhat slender figure appearing in the corner of the gathering place.
He was wearing a military cap inlaid with silver, representing the officer, a dark green garrison uniform, and wearing the Medal of Honor of the First Military Academy, which symbolizes outstanding graduates. He walked slowly through the scene under the eyes of all kinds On the ground, stepped onto the podium.
When the face under the shadow of the brim of the hat was clearly seen, there was an uproar in the audience.
The black hair is smooth, the skin is fair, the eyelashes are thick, and the eyes are quiet.
Lily and handsome, like the pampered young master of a big family.
Even if you don't become a star in the entertainment circle, you should quietly do something like artistic creation.
In short, it has nothing to do with the soldiers who fight in the rain and wind all year round and fight in the mud and gunpowder smoke.
However, this little guy in front of him who seems to fall down at the first touch is actually the new chief of their notorious garrison?
"Ha, are you kidding me?"
"That's it? That's it?"
"Did he go to the wrong place?"
"Why, is the empire seeing that the brothers are too lonely, and sent a little girl to satisfy our greed?"
"Are you here to be an officer, or a military prostitute?"
"Ham, you don't understand, maybe it was brought by the officer, helping to clean the gun during the day, and also cleaning the gun at night..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The ridicule and obscenity in the words were so obvious that everyone laughed wantonly.
The commander glanced around lightly, then lowered his eyes to check the information on the PADD, turning a deaf ear to any gossip: "All absentees will have their credit points deducted by 30% this month."
Before this person arrived, although the previous commander, Colonel Lin, had been on Noah for more than ten years, he was old and in poor health due to old wounds from the war. Most of the things were actually taken care of by his adjutant.
During the years of Colonel Lin's tenure, adjutants came and went, if not twenty, there were more than a dozen. No one could bear the environment of Noah Star and this group of subordinates who did whatever they wanted.
There are three new officials who take office, and each of them will come up with some fancy regulations, thinking that they can cleanse the old environment and revive the Noah star.
They also quickly lost in front of reality.
The soldiers have long seen the essence: no officer will stay here forever, so there is no need to follow anyone's rules.
The ruffian smacked his lips: "Little beauty, do you think there is room to spend money here? The last time I had a drink was last year. If you want to deduct it, you can deduct it. It doesn't matter if you deduct it all."
Old Hammer almost burst out laughing at the address he chose, and gave him a thumbs up.
The ruffian also smiled complacently.
"Really." The commander's tone was very flat, as if he was not surprised by the provocation, as if he hadn't heard the address, "Then deduct three days' meals."
He looked in the ruffian's direction and smiled slightly: "Even if there is no meal, I believe you can still fill your stomach, right?"
The ruffian was startled for a moment by the stretched smile of the commander, whose mood hadn't changed, before he realized what he meant.
"I……"
The commander ignored him, and continued: "I hope that when someone speaks in the future, other people will be quieter. Whether it is me, other officers, or anyone."
His voice was not loud, his tone was as calm as his expression, and he didn't mean to blame.
It just seemed to have magical powers, making the noisy soldiers calm down layer by layer like waves.
The young chief named more than a dozen names, but did not let them stand out: "Except for them, everyone else bears weight for ten kilometers."
Another uproar.
Someone protested angrily why, Yu Yan glanced at him and read out the name.
The man was taken aback.
Yu Yan said two more names: "You guys have been playing cards just now, haven't you?"
The three showed embarrassing expressions.
They would never believe that the new chief, who has only been here for more than ten minutes, can remember his name, which is so ordinary, someone must have informed him!
But besides the chief, there was no one else besides Huang Yangmin and A Lan.
Even these two people did not have any direct contact with the officer.
Who - who could it be?
Looking at their expressions, Yu Yan knew that these people were thinking wildly and didn't care, so she patiently explained: "The people I mentioned just now were very attentive when I was talking. I hope other people can do the same in the future."
Someone suddenly understood.
The commander observed the movements and performances of every one of the hundred or so people in the audience while he was speaking just now.
Then when did he match the names and looks of the three hundred people on the PADD roster one by one?
You know, a former adjutant stayed here for almost three years and didn't remember it.
What an astonishing insight and memory this overly young second lieutenant has!
The commander added: "Those who haven't finished their training before dinner, don't have to eat dinner."
He sounded like he was discussing the nice weather today, rather than making a penalty decision that almost wiped out the team.
"Huang Yangmin."
"Here!" The man's voice was resounding, his puffed up chest was as proud of his small job as always.
"You are in charge of supervision."
"Yes!"
"Alan."
"Here!" The boy's answer was even louder.
"Notify the cafeteria that there is no need to prepare meals today."
The young man hesitated: "Then sir...don't you eat it yourself?"
Yu Yan seemed to be talking to him, but he was speaking to the audience: "Those who have called their names, I will prepare today's dinner."
After he finished speaking, he stepped off the stage and left.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Being able to dine with the officer is a reward, not to mention the officer prepares it himself.
Not to mention the Noah star, even if you look at the entire empire, there are probably not many precedents.
The dozen or so people named were more surprised than others.
Not every one of their original intentions is to concentrate on listening to the commander's speech. Some are sleepy, some are wandering, and some simply like the commander's slightly alienated but not indifferent voice, or simply covet that pretty face...
But it was such a crooked attack, and they were so pleasantly surprised.
When they came back to their senses, their cheeks were flushed with excitement, their eyes were shining, and they hurried back to the dormitory to freshen up and dress up. They were more pious than dating the person they liked.
One punishment and one reward, one piece and one relaxation, no need to waste a lot of words and lectures or even intimidation, just a few words let everyone know what to do and what not to do tomorrow.
The wrist is quite impressive.
"It's just buying people's hearts, who can't do it anymore." The ruffian still sneered, "Isn't it?"
Old Hammer didn't answer, but frowned.
The pretty and frail canary showed them that he was not a caged bird in a fairly simple way.
But what is the real face?
The commander has already left, and many people are still unable to recover.
It wasn't until Huang Yangmin urged them to run quickly, that there were some leftovers in the cafeteria yesterday, and those who finished running early could still have a bite, did they scramble to strap on the load-bearing apparatus.
One suddenly asked: "Old Huang, we don't know what the officer's last name is?"
The others also raised their heads upon hearing this.
"The surname is Yu." Huang Yangmin introduced triumphantly, as if the person who made everyone respect and fear him was himself, "——depressed you little bastards!"
After nightfall, the base is very quiet, only the sound of wind and the faint sound of insects.
Of course, the commander's room is not next to other people. Originally, Noah Star is far away from human settlements, and this place is even more isolated.
Fortunately, Yu Yan is used to being alone, enjoys alone time, and doesn't feel lonely.
Yu Yan sat by the window, getting very close to pure nature.
He was busy in the past twenty years, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the world, and rarely had such a quiet moment, which unexpectedly made him feel comfortable.
Although when the soldiers were summoned today, it was obvious that those people had strong hostility towards him, and they would definitely cause him trouble in the future, but this did not affect Yu Yan's growing feeling towards this mysterious planet of dark green and red and red. Strong curiosity.
Curiosity is often the beginning of attraction.
Whether it's the soldiers who are waiting to be rebuilt, or the mysterious Xuetuanzi with high-level psychic powers, and what he wants to know most about Ah Hou - all of these must and can only be found on the planet Noah Finish.
Yu Yan's thoughts are slowly changing.
Not only was I no longer depressed about not being able to join the expeditionary force, but I even felt that maybe I would like it here.
In the past, his roommate always praised him for his good attitude and open mindedness, but Yu Yan thought it was nothing.
Humans always encounter all kinds of setbacks. Either they can think about it and keep going; or they can’t think about it, and this life will end.
He may have encountered much more setbacks than ordinary people.
If you can't think about it, you can't survive.
Speaking of which, the two times he came to Nuo'e star did not go well, and it was Ah Hou who saved him.
I don't know what the big guy is doing.
When he saw it, he seemed to have forgotten to talk about Ningning, although the other party was not curious either.
Are they friends?Or something else?
Having said that, why did the giant beast send itself back to the human realm?
Yu Yan couldn't understand it.
His thoughts drifted far away, and he was dragged back to reality by the light and dark changes of PADD's breath screen in his peripheral vision.
Yu Yan lowered his head and looked at the photo he was playing with in his hand - the kind of real photo with a frame.
In this era, there are very few places where there are physical photos on paper.
The original wood that can be used to make paper was deforested in the era of the old home planet, and almost became extinct. After the founding emperor established the new era, he set them as a second-level protected species, and no one was allowed to mine them without permission.
Today, that tree is so precious that even paper is a luxury.
However, on Dumen Xieke's Noah planet, everything seems to have stayed a hundred years ago, simple and quiet, including this primitive way of recording images.
The photo was left by Colonel Lin, the last commander of the base and the last resident of this room.
I don't know if I forgot to take it away or did it on purpose.
In the photo, there are seven or eight young people standing in a row, all in their early twenties, all straight and handsome.
They crossed their shoulders and wore the uniforms of the First Military Academy - different from Yu Yan's current style.
Behind the young people is the landmark building of the First Military Academy, a parent star surrounded by rockets—the original way for humans to explore space.
The mission of the First Military Academy is very simple, as a cohesive representative of human will, to sail deeper into the sea of stars forever.
It is not difficult to see that this is a graduation photo.
Although there were some changes from his later appearance, Yu Yan still recognized him, and the ones in the middle were his teacher and Colonel Lin.
As the second elder told him, they were early graduates of the First Military Academy, classmates, comrades who later fought side by side, and even lifelong best friends.
The photo paper looks old.
Yu Yan turned to the back, and there was a line of words: Imperial Era 77, Xia.
There is no signature or message, just a date.
What happened more than 40 years ago seemed to happen again on the opposite side through a thin piece of paper.
The young people in the photo smiled brightly at the camera without any haze.Like the current Yu Yan, they have just graduated, and the future is still far, far away.
What's more, those who can stand with the teacher must be military elites with a rating of S or above.The people in this photo may be the pillars of the country that are now distributed in the Alpha Quadrant and Beta Quadrant.
Their expressions all carried a bit of arrogance unique to the proud sons of heaven, and they tried their best to conceal the excitement in their hearts.
Only the man standing on the other side of the teacher was fearless, and even put his hand on the teacher's head for comparison.
Inexplicably, Yu Yan felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
His memory is very strong, and he can easily remember with his photographs, so he can remember the faces and names of all the troops stationed on Noah in a short period of time.
For him, as long as he has clearly seen someone in a waking state, he will never forget it.
But this person...
Yu Yan was salvaging in the ocean of memories when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
So late, who could it be?
He frowned.
Yu Yan glanced at the time and asked, "Who?"
The other party didn't hide it either: "Mr. Yu, are you still awake? I want to ask you something."
Every sentence is full of respect, but there is no sense of respect, but provocation.
This bubbly voice is no stranger, Yu Yan recognized that it was the ruffian who called him "little beauty" in the morning and took the lead in raising the bar.
In the roster given to him by Huang Yangmin, in addition to the real names of these soldiers, there are also "flower names".
After all, they usually call each other by nicknames, and Yu Yan, as an officer, must know everyone well.
Yu Yan thought about it.
He naturally wouldn't believe the ruffian's nonsense of "asking for advice", but he didn't think that the other party would do harm to him-after all, fighting against the chief and murdering the chief were completely different things.
What's more, Yu Yan has successfully survived so many times.He is sure of his own strength.
Yu Yan opened the door, and sure enough there was a ruffian standing outside.
The other party smiled at him: "It's great that you didn't sleep."
Yu Yan glanced at the ground, pursed his lips: "What's the matter?"
The ruffian said: "I heard people say that you are in school, and this is the fighting class." He thumbed up and smiled, "Can you teach me two moves?"
"I guess that's not part of my job description."
"Hey, you are the officer we respect, love, and love." The ruffian put the emphasis on the word "respect and love", "It's not difficult to take care of the studious subordinates, right?"
Yu Yan didn't say yes or no, but instead asked: "Where are you going?"
"We have a special fighting training ground." The ruffian seemed to agree with what he meant, "It's just a little bit off, I have to show you the way."
"Well, then your 'hiding' companions showed up one after another and came to communicate with me."
When Yu Yan said this, his voice was very steady, without any irritation at all, like a simple question, but it ended with a period.
The ruffian's face was a little ugly.
For some reason, Yu Yan remembered that before he went to visit the teacher at the Rehabilitation Star, after being "invited" to the other party's territory by Newman Bruce, he made the other party black out of anger.
Sometimes Yu Yan is also very puzzled, he thinks he has a good temper, and he doesn't talk with guns and sticks, and he doesn't have yin and yang, why is he always so popular?
Could it be that he is very talented and good at hating people?
It shouldn't be, he is so kind to others...
He ruled out the possibility of his bad tone, and looked at the ruffian without hesitation, but the words were not addressed to him: "Everyone, come out too, there are many mosquitoes in the corner."
There was a rustle in the grass, and then Old Hammer and several others came out one after another.
While everyone is ashamed due to grass clippings, their expressions have their own wonderful expressions.
Similar to what Yu Yan guessed, their original plan was to let the ruffian lure the kid to a remote place and then come out and have a gang fight, so that this guy can teach him a lesson.
It's not that they haven't done this kind of thing before, and it was quite effective, so they decided to repeat the same trick.
Unexpectedly, he died before leaving the teacher, and was seen through without taking a step.
It's not that he's afraid of being punished by Yu Yan—what else can he do after deducting money and meals—but it's too much.
