The sky had just brightened, low clouds floated outside the window, and the dense green forest below was lush and lush, stretching for dozens of kilometers.Hyperion, dressed in jungle camouflage, sat leisurely in the aircraft, watching Quint one by one to confirm that the positions of the students could be displayed on his terminal.

"Finally, I want to emphasize again that the wilderness survival test lasts for seven days. At the beginning, each person is only allowed to carry two bottles of 500ml drinking water, three energy bars, one bandage, two daggers, one laser gun, and Children who have prohibited items, please take the initiative to hand them over as soon as possible, if I find something that shouldn't be there later—" Hyperion stretched out his foot and tried to trip Quint who was walking by him: "Although I am old It's big, but it's more than enough to clean you up."

The students burst into laughter, and Quint stepped over his lap without changing his expression, and confirmed the positioning button of the last student: "Each of you has an alarm device on the positioning button and terminal, and there are fireworks in your backpack. If there is any accident, open it immediately, and General Hyperion and I will go to the rescue as soon as possible. Remember, no matter what your grades are, your safety is the most important thing."

Hyperion nodded, and announced the topic of the exam: "The entire mountain forest is the exam site. There are a hundred supply points inside, and necessities and weapons will be thrown regularly. In terms of evaluation, there are [-] people buried in the forest. Hundreds of token boxes, only one-tenth of them contain tokens. All you have to do is find token boxes and find a way to open them to get tokens.”

"You are allowed to use various methods to obtain tokens, including fighting—of course, don't be too harsh. It's not good if it's all classmates who beat others up. I and Instructor Gwent will take according to your performance and what you will eventually carry. The number of tokens is scored.

The aircraft flew to the designated place, the hatch was opened by the pilot, and the wind rushed in.Hyperion stood up, glanced at these young and vigorous faces one by one, and clapped his hands: "Okay, that's it, let's all go down and play."

The students parachuted down one by one, and soon there were only Hyperion and Quint left in the cabin. Hyperion held the blue space button in his hand and said with a smile, "How do we go down? After so long, do you still skydive?"

"Yes, yes, but I'm a little too daring." Quint stroked the strap of the umbrella bag on his shoulder back and forth, looking down at the height: "Want to jump? I should be able to do this height."

"I'll take you with me." Hyperion reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling his arm to let him wrap his arms around his neck: "You have to hold me tight."

Hyperion didn’t have an umbrella bag on him, and Quint was hugged by his waist and lifted his feet off the ground. Before he had time to express any opinions, Hyperion just jumped out of the hatch.

The sudden weightlessness made the internal organs feel uncomfortable for a moment. The gust of wind whistled in the ear, piercing through the camouflage uniform and chilling the heart. Quint could only hear his heart beating like a drum.With his hands tightly around Hyperion's neck, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart - he knew that Hyperion would not let him be in any danger.

After falling nearly a hundred meters like this, the space button on Hyperion's neck suddenly flashed, and Leviathan's figure more than seven meters tall appeared out of thin air.Its eyes glowed red, turned over in the air and drew a smooth arc, stretched out its mechanical arm, and caught the rapidly falling Hyperion and Gwent in its giant palm.

The two rolled twice in Leviathan's palm, and were stopped by its curled first knuckle.Hyperion leaned his elbows against Kunt's ear, stroked his wind-torn black hair, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you happy?"

Leviathan flew steadily to the resting place specially set up for instructors and instructors. Quint swallowed hard during the gasp, as if this could swallow his heart that was about to jump into his throat, and at the same time clicked Nodding: "Excellent."

Hyperian pulled him up, and the two of them sat side by side in the palm of Leviathan, watching the red sun gradually revealing the whole picture from the horizon in the distance, the sky and clouds were gradually dyed with dazzling colors, and the mountains and forests under their feet were rolling and extremely green. Moist and hazy morning mist.From time to time, flocks of birds were disturbed by the students who parachuted and landed, and fluttered.

Successfully landed at the designated resting place, Leviathan landed lightly, Hyperion jumped off, turned around to pick up Quint, when he saw him patting the front of his clothes beside him.

After not seeing Leviathan for a long time, Quint patted its calf, raised his head and asked, "Do you still remember who I am?"

"Of course, Mr. Quint." Leviathan squatted down cooperatively, and the female voice was faintly excited: "Actually, I saw you in the crowd the day the general performed in the Empire Square. It doesn't seem like much has changed."

Although it is an old mech more than 20 years ago, as a prototype, coupled with Hyperion's frequent modifications to it, Leviathan has always been in a leading position in technology.Seeing that Quint and Leviathan were chatting happily, Hyperian didn't put it away, and walked into the hut specially prepared for them.

There are all kinds of daily necessities in the house, and there are beds in both rooms. Hyperion automatically left the inner one for Quint, and put his backpack on his bed.

After a while, Quint walked in and walked around the room twice, quite satisfied with the environment here.He sprinkled snake-repelling powder around the house, lest the smell of himself and Hyperion pheromones would attract any uninvited guests.

After packing up their things, the two locked the door and went to find water together.Although they can send the students back now, they need to stay here for a day when the exam ends seven days later. There are only simple ingredients in the room, and they have to figure out the problem of water.

With Leviathan, everything is much easier. Leviathan flew low in the air, and soon found the nearest stream. The mountain stream originated from a dark spring halfway up the mountain, and the stream was cold and clear.Hyperion knelt down and took a sip of water, smacked his lips, and said, "It's a bit sweet."

Quint also took a sip with him, and nodded: "I'll take a bucket back later."

Hyperion washed his face and arms with water, and immediately felt refreshed.On the first day of the exam, both of them had nothing to do. After staying by the water for a while, they started to explore the surroundings together.

The cuffs of Quint's camouflage uniform rolled up below the elbow, revealing a white and strong forearm. He is not thin, with thin muscles attached to the bones, which feels very sensual to the touch.The black collar tightly protected his neck, the wound pinched by Hyperion had completely healed, and his voice had returned to its original state.

His coat was open, and the short-sleeved army green lining was tied into the belt, which outlined a smooth waistline, which made Hyperion's heart itch.Seemingly feeling the real gaze behind him, Quint, who was crawling in front, turned his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"It looks good on you." Hyperian answered honestly with a smile.Quint has now become immune to his teasing to a certain extent, and he climbed up the steep, almost vertical slope with his arms, and looked down at Hyperion with his arms crossed: "How do I look good?"

"Eyes, nose, eyebrows, mouth, everything is beautiful." Hyperion looked up at him, "The neck is so beautiful, it makes people want to pounce on it and bite it, the waist is so beautiful, it feels as soft as imagined, and the legs are also beautiful, long It’s straight, it’s definitely exciting to put it on your body—hey, I’m telling the truth, why are you hitting me!”

Quint threw away the stone and patted the soil in his hands, and said seriously: "Too much brain supplementation is a disease, and it needs to be cured."

Hyperion suddenly exerted his legs and jumped up the dirt slope, grabbed Quint's back to let him continue to move forward, and smiled in his ear: "I'm going to make up my mind soon, I'm not in my prime. , a little bit of demand is normal, don’t even let me think about it, it’s so cruel.”

"Just think about it for yourself, and you have to say it. This is already a blatant hooligan." Pushed by him, Quint suddenly stopped, and raised his finger to a dark mass in the bushes: " what is that?"

"What?" Hyperion went over to push aside the bushes, and the squeaking little bird cubs were immediately exposed in front of the two of them. It was a nest of black finch cubs, and the fluff on their bodies hadn't even grown.The nest and the birds are quite a big mass, probably being rubbed down by some large animal that was moving on the tree.

"Do you want to put them back?" Hyperian touched his pockets, but couldn't find anything that could cover the nest.

"Put it back." Quint took out a clean towel from his backpack, and Hyperion sniffed it to confirm that it didn't smell of any human beings except for the faint smell of laundry detergent, just in case another barrier agent was sprayed on it. Above, leaned over and carefully wrapped up the bird's nest: "Okay, I'll put it on a tree."

Quint looked up at the tall tree that Hyperion was holding the bird's nest to his chest with one hand, and climbed up with only one hand. The vigorous figure of Alpha in front of him gradually overlapped with the young man in his deep memory, as if going back in time.

Twenty years ago, they jointly completed the internship assessment of the Seventh Legion on Valen Star.

At that time, Hyperion had already served in the Seventh Legion for half a year, this was his first assessment, and it was crucial to the subsequent assessment.During his military service, he went to the Lorca Galaxy, which is far away from the capital star, and he was busy day and night. It was often midnight when it was his turn to rest, and he rarely had the opportunity to contact Quint.

Ever since he sent Xiao Huang Wen as a love letter, he had been stuck with a thorn in his heart—some things he had to explain to Quint face to face, but he couldn't find the opportunity.

It didn't take long for his comrades in the same team to know that this young but capable Master Morse had a sweetheart, and they were struggling to explain it, so they gave him a lot of good and bad things. idea.

As long as this assessment is completed, he will be able to go back to Capital Planet and find Quint to clarify.

Thinking of this, Hyperion became motivated, and reorganized his backpack, leaving only two days' worth of food and water, so he packed lightly.This is the third day of his Valen star assessment. It is very unfortunate that he encountered a beast swarm that has been rare for more than ten years. Facing the berserk herd, the assessment members who are not allowed to use mechas can only hide in haste share.

When avoiding the beast tide, Hyperion got separated from the technical soldiers teamed up with him. He looked at the location on the terminal and was going to find that Beta.

Rain clouds hang low in the sky, and thunder rolls from a distance. The rainy season on Valen star is coming, and there have been a few light rains as a forecast of the terrifying rainy season.Hyperion rushed towards the little red dot representing the position of his companion, and when he was still about five or six miles away, there was a sound of fireworks exploding mixed with thunder, and the position was exactly where his companion was.

At the same time, his terminal beeped, and the little red dot disappeared on the radar map, showing that the Beta technician voluntarily withdrew from the assessment.

He was probably injured in the beast horde and couldn't continue.Hyperion stopped in his tracks, and ten seconds later, nearly twenty red dots lit up on the terminal where he was the only one left—they were other technicians who were left alone.

During the assessment, if another person in the team quits early, the system will automatically display the positions of the remaining personnel of another type of work who have placed orders, so that it is convenient to form a new team and continue the assessment.

The nearest red dot was only 500 meters away from him, Hyperion turned around.The aircraft whizzed overhead and flew straight to the position of the firework to pick up his companion who had already quit.

Traveling in the rainforest is definitely not an easy task. Hyperion rushed to the nearest location indicated by the red dot at the fastest speed, but only saw a cliff nearly a thousand meters in front of him.

The rain fell into the canyon, and Hyperion stood on the edge of the cliff for two seconds. After confirming that the red dot was indeed here, he took a step forward and looked down.

Sure enough, there was a protruding platform on the cliff, about three meters wide, on which grew an old pine with horizontal branches.The black-haired boy with the armband of a technical soldier was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, staring at the radar chart on the terminal, and raised his head when he saw someone's red dot overlapped with his own.

The moment their eyes met, both of them were stunned. It seemed that only the sound of wind and rain echoed in their ears. After a long time, Hyperion heard his own unbelievable voice: "Quint?! Why are you here?"

Kunt opened his mouth to speak, but was swallowed by the increasing rain, and hurriedly bowed his head twice.

"I'll pull you up first!" Hyperion shook his head and threw out all inappropriate thoughts, quickly took out the climbing rope from his bag, threw one end to Quint, and tied the other end in his hand to the nearest tree die.Quint tied the rope around his waist, tugged hard, and gestured to Hyperion, signaling that it was okay.

Hyperion pulled him up from the platform, saw that the fireworks used by Quint to announce his withdrawal were in his pocket, and asked, "Did you really want to withdraw from the assessment?"

"Yeah." Kunt nodded, bent over, put his hands on his knees and panted heavily. He found this platform on the cliff when he was escaping from the beast tide. He climbed down the vines, but then the stone wall was very slippery in the rain. , he couldn't climb up by himself.

He lost his backpack while escaping, and was trapped for nearly a day without food and water.If Hyperion hadn't come over, he planned to announce his withdrawal.

"Let's find a place to shelter from the rain, can you still walk?" Although there were a lot of questions in his stomach that he wanted to ask Quint, Hyperion still held back and focused on the most important thing in front of him.

Kunt nodded, straightened up and wiped his rain-stained face: "Let's go."

The two walked for about an hour, and finally found a clean cave.Hyperion took off his drenched camouflage coat and wrung it dry, and tied it to a vine at the entrance of the cave as a door curtain to block the rainwater that soaked in. The wind and rain in the small cave instantly became much lighter and darker.

Hyperion looked back, and saw that Quint was drenched all over, and was taking off his close-fitting round-neck training suit with his back on his back.He turned his head just in time to see Hyperion staring at him, and hurriedly stopped his movements and said, "Don't look."

"Okay, okay, I don't look at it, I don't look at it." Hyperion obediently shifted his gaze back, staring at the army green curtain, but in front of him was Quint's entire white back, the two round dimples on his back, and The ridgeline that sank into the waistband stays lingering.

He heard the slight sound of Quint wringing out the clothes and dripping water on the ground, shaking them off and putting them on again. Although he didn't look at it, it was better than watching.After not seeing each other for half a year, he seemed to be stronger than before.

The rustling noises stopped, Hyperion heard Quint softly said "Okay", then turned around and sat down beside him.Without hesitation, he stripped off his upper body and wrung out the water from his clothes.

Quint glanced at him, then looked away, and the two sat side by side in the small cave, speechless for a while.

The wind came wildly in from the gap in the door curtain, blowing on the wet clothes, quickly taking away the heat from the skin.After a long time, Hyperion asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?"

"It's okay." Quint sat with his legs curled up, holding his knees with his hands, quietly watching Hyperion's coat being constantly agitated by the wind.

"I'm shaking, why are you still talking hard to me?" Hyperion leaned over, boldly embraced him in his arms, and felt the coldness of Quint's naked, exposed skin without any surprise, Quint subconsciously After earning a bit, he was forcefully restrained.

Hyperion took out a sleeping bag from his bag and covered the two of them. Quint's lips turned white from the cold, and he couldn't stop trembling slightly. Hyperion rubbed his hands back and forth to warm his hands and cheeks.

The rain washed away the smell of insect repellent powder on his body, leaving only the smell of pheromones that emanated all the time. The fragrance of lime was a little unreal in the astringent smell of rainforest plants and the smell of soil.Hyperion hugged Quint tightly, and sprayed warm breaths on the side of his neck, arousing inexplicable throbbing in the depths of his body, causing Quint to struggle slightly again.

"Don't move around, it's almost freezing to death, so why avoid suspicion." The young Hyperion didn't understand why Quint was struggling, and thought he was shy.Finally warming his hands, Hyperion took out water and nutrition bars from his bag: "Eat something, you'll be warm after eating something."

Quint was really hungry, so he nodded, calmed down, and ate the nutrition bar with that unbearable urge.Hyperion couldn't help thinking that if he knew he would find Quint, he wouldn't throw away the extra food in his bag.

After being silent for a while, the two spoke at the same time: "I want to ask you something—"

"I want to ask you something—"

The voice stopped at the same time, and the two looked at each other, seeing their own appearance from each other's eyes. Kunt moved away first, pursed his lower lip, and blood finally appeared on his face that was too cold: "You first explain."

"Well, I'll talk about it first." Hyperion didn't refuse. He was holding back the love letter for more than half a year and was about to go crazy. He took a deep breath and said with an extremely serious expression: "On your birthday, I I originally prepared a love letter to send, but for some reason, I sent the wrong thing.”

Quint froze in his arms, and he could feel Alpha's heart beating violently like a drum because of nervousness on his back, which gradually overlapped with his sudden accelerated heartbeat.

"I've always wanted to say sorry to you, but the thing I sent must have caused you a lot of trouble." Hyperion coughed softly and clenched his fists uneasily: "Also, although the time and occasion are It's not appropriate, I still want to ask you—"

"I like you for a long time, would you like to be with me?"

The author has something to say: I'm scared of you guys...

Come on everyone!Let's pretend together!
