【Respect】The Beautiful Future

Zhou Fangzun opened the window, and the cold night wind came in.He took out a cigarette from his pocket, bit it between his teeth, and lit it again. The soft sound of the lighter was very clear in the silent combat conference room.

The final plan of the battle has been finalized after discussions between the two sides, and now only the two generals from both sides are still here, and the others have all dispersed to prepare for tomorrow.On the long table in the conference room, a strategic map of the occupied area was suspended and projected. Reji Munakata stood behind the table with his arms folded and fell into deep thought for a long time, until the smell of tobacco permeated his nose before pulling his thoughts back.

"Smoking is prohibited in the meeting room, Su Fang." Munakata looked over.

"Ah," Zhou Fang responded, leaning his elbows on the window sill and looking back sideways, "So I opened the window."

Zongxiang frowned slightly and then let go, sighing helplessly: "Only this is a special case." After thinking for a while, he reminded: "It's getting late, in order to ensure that there will be no accidents in tomorrow's battle, you should also go to Take time to rest."

"Are you going to sleep with me?" Zhou Fang exhaled smoke and asked flatly.

"If you were a three-year-old child who would be too scared to fall asleep when no one was with you, maybe I would reluctantly consider it." Munakata replied.

"Aren't you going to command tomorrow? You haven't closed your eyes since Yu Zhang Xun died." Zhou Fang simply ignored his mocking words.

"As a general, even if I stay up all night continuously, it will not have any impact on my performance." Munakata said.

"Nonsense." Zhou Fangzun twitched his lips disapprovingly.

Munakata was at a loss for words for a moment, so he could only explain: "It's different from you wasting your life smoking here, but I'm waiting for someone."

"Huh?" Zhou Fang squeezed out a question from his throat.

"The shadow that exists in the base." Munakata withdrew his gaze and landed on the map in front of him again. The bright blue light and shadow fell on his lens, and his eyes were hidden behind it and it was difficult to see clearly. "Tomorrow we will see The league is on the offensive, and if it doesn't act tonight, it won't get another chance."

"Then you plan to wait for it overnight?" Zhou Fang stubbed out the cigarette and threw it out the window, walked to the position beside Zongxiang, pulled out the chair and sat down.

"Is there any problem?" Munakata asked back, he looked sideways at Zhou Fang's movements and continued: "Now that you know the reason, please go to rest, I don't want to receive news tomorrow that the general of Barbara passed out in the operation cabin .”

"Are you implying that if you pass out tomorrow, let me hold Munakata?" Zhou Fang glanced at him.

"Oh—I have to admit, your sneer is getting better and better." Munakata smiled at him with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Tsk." Zhou Fang narrowed his eyes impatiently, stretched out his hand to hold Zongxiang's wrist, pulled the unexpected Zongxiang into his arms, raised his arms to wrap his shoulders and pressed against himself.

Zongxiang clasped Zhou Fang's wrist with his backhand, his arm pressed against his chest trying to break free, he looked at the face of the person close at hand with displeasure, "Now is not the time to mess around, Zhou Fangzun."

"Take it as a request from an ally." Zhou Fang said suddenly.

Munakata Reisi was stunned when he heard this, he stared at Zhou Fang in surprise, and the other party took advantage of his slack at the moment and tightened his strength to lock him even tighter in his arms.

"You need to rest, Munakata." Zhou Fang lowered his head and kissed the corner of Munakata's lips, his movements were soft but his tone was overbearing.

"But……"

"I will wake you up if there is a situation." Zhou Fang interrupted him bluntly.

Zongxiang was silent for a long time, their foreheads were touching, Zhou Fangzun's pupils were bright, as if lava was flowing slowly in them.He finally lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh, closing his eyes and leaning on Zhou Fangzun's shoulder.

"...Thank you, Zhou Fang." There was an inaudible sound, like a sigh.

Zhou Fang clearly felt the relaxation of his body in his arms. Hearing this, he curled his lips and raised his hand to take off his glasses and put them on the table. Then he leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at the deep night outside the window in a daze.

The bright blue light from the strategy map was reflected on the window, and time passed in the flickering light and shadow. I don't know how long it had passed, until the sudden bell rang, tearing up the rare silence.

In fact, there was no need for defensive action at all. Munakata Reiji reached out and took out the terminal in his pocket almost the moment the bell rang. He put the terminal close to his ear while connecting the call, took out the glasses and put them on again for himself, opened the There was clarity in those violet eyes.

"It's me, Fushimi-kun."

"Your Excellency, it has been detected that the central control room is outputting a large amount of data!"

The numbers of the elevator floors were changing rapidly, Munakata Reiji stood alone in the elevator, the line of his lips was tight.The central control room is located on the top floor of the headquarters, and the supercomputer group placed in it controls the entire military base. Zhou Fangzun, who is a Barbara, did not follow. This is a place where even the rank of lieutenant officer will stop.

The changing number stopped with the prompt sound, the elevator door opened in response, and Zongxiang walked out quickly.The team leaders consciously made way for him, and Seri Awashima greeted him anxiously, "Your Excellency, the central control room has activated the defense system and was locked from the inside. We tried many methods but were unable to open it. "

There is no need to explain too much Munakata has seen it: Fushimi Saru Hiko is constantly trying various methods to break through, sweat is rolling down his forehead, a series of data on the screen of the cracking machine gushes out like a sea tide, and the door lock The pop-up floating dialog box is accompanied by a warning sound, which repeatedly announces coldly:

"Insufficient permissions."

"Insufficient permissions."

"Insufficient permissions."

Fushimi raised his hand irritably to wipe off the sweat from his cheeks, caught a glimpse of Munakata's figure out of the corner of his eyes during the movement, straightened up scribbledly, saluted and took two steps back.

Reiji Munakata took out the magnetic card of Hazaki that he sorted out during the day and swiped it across the door lock, his fingertips jumped and tapped on the keyboard nimbly.The dialog box turned into fragments and disappeared, the siren stopped abruptly, the defense system of the central control room was disarmed, the small light of the door lock turned green, and the door slowly opened to both sides.

The floating dialog box in the center of the control room first appeared in the gradually enlarged field of vision. The progress bar quickly reached the end, and the dialog box disappeared almost at the same moment as the door was fully opened, but it was enough for every Everyone can clearly see the content on it, and it makes people's blood suddenly run cold:

"100%"

"Finish."

Munakata Reisi narrowed his eyes slightly, and shifted his gaze to the person standing in the center.

The tall man stood with his back to them. This shadow that had been hiding for a long time finally revealed his figure in the light, and it was in an unusually arrogant and bold way. There was no need to bother to confirm whether it was true or false. After all, the person on duty He is the only one left.

In the central control room, everyone in front of the console has died. These people have fought with this man all night for victory countless times, and they have also chatted about family and ideals together, but now they are lying on the console in disgrace and humiliation. Or on the ground, blood is flowing all over the ground.

The squad leaders rushed in with their guns and surrounded the man, but he didn't care about Zhou Za's black muzzle, he just turned around slowly and said hello: "Finally here, Munakata, acting commander-in-chief of the Japanese region Secretary Li—" He bit the word acting commander-in-chief clearly, with an undisguised sarcasm in his tone.

Munakata's pupils flashed a trace of haze, and he said coldly: "Colonel Yanjinyuan."

Yan Jinyuan stared at Munakata's face, as if he wanted to see some emotions through his calm expression: "Why, you didn't expect it to be me, did you?"

"That's not the case. If it's yours, it's no wonder the general didn't find out until his death." Munakata said lightly, "It's just unexpected to some extent. I thought you didn't seem to be caught by some material or A person bought by power."

"I'll accept it as a compliment," Yan Jinyuan gave up the idea of ​​guessing Munakata's emotions, "The answer to the question is simpler than you think."

"That's right, I'm from Japan." Yanjinyuan said calmly, "But I'm actually a member of the DTC alliance. It's not surprising to do anything for my country, isn't it?"

"...That's true." Munakata glanced at the subordinates whose faces were vaguely indignant. The team leaders held their guns tightly and glared at Yanjin Yuan, as if they would shoot uncontrollably in the next moment. It can be considered that people who have believed in it for many years are beaten into meat sauce.

"So your loyalty is also false?" Munakata looked him straight in the eyes, "As General Habari's confidant, is the loyalty you have almost lost your life countless times just a show?"

"Loyalty...?" Shiozumoto repeated in a low voice, seemingly unconsciously, and he looked back at Munakata, "Kagu Tsugenshi seems to be loyal to the Federation too, doesn't he? But look now, after the general passed away, he hasn't left After the battlefield, the Federation wants him to come to Japan to suppress you, and his answer is only one word."

An inexplicable passage, and Munakata looked at his sad eyes and vaguely understood something.

Yan Jinyuan took a deep breath, his eyes were red, he laughed at himself, and growled: "How can there be any loyalty? Who cares about that kind of thing! It's just because I have always liked Yu Zhang Xun!"

It was the first time in so many years that he directly called that person by his name, but that person was no longer there, but maybe it was because of that person that he had the courage to speak out.

The audience was stunned, no one made a sound, just watching Yan Jinyuan standing in the bloody red, his laughter grew louder, resounding in the dead silent control room, like a crazy actor.

A one-man show of self-struggle.Yan Jinyuan couldn't help recalling the moment when he saw Yu Zhangxun.

Yan Jinyuan offended his roommate on the first day he was sent in as a new recruit after being changed by the alliance. He was finally punished by the instructor to run [-] laps on the playground during dinner time. Those roommates wanted to hurry up and eat dinner. Then I ran to see him making jokes, and several people sat crowded on the rostrum and yelled at him from time to time.

Later, Yan Jinyuan was kneeling on the ground exhausted, moving forward with difficulty, his legs were as heavy as lead, and his vision was almost blurred. It was at this time that Yu Zhangxun appeared, half sunk behind him. In the setting sun, golden afterglow sprinkled all over the runway.Those roommates got up in a panic and saluted, Yu Zhang waved his hands indifferently, took off his military uniform jacket and handed it to Shan Tiao Gang Yi who was following behind, and looked at him with a smile while rolling up his cuffs: "Recruit, how many laps are left? I Come to exercise, let's run together?"

After that day, he began to pay attention to Yu Zhangxun, and gradually found out everything about this person, including his lover named Kagu Tsugenshi.

Since then, Yan Jinyuan has been trapped in the struggle of infidelity and injustice, seeking a balance between the Federation and the Alliance, humbly hoping that the moment standing behind that person can freeze into eternity, and fearing the moment when his identity will be revealed.It would be enough to get closer to that person, he thought, but he didn't expect that it was not everything he expected, but a man named Munakata Reishi who came out of nowhere.

"If it weren't for your appearance!" Yan Jinyuan pulled out from the memory, his eyes suddenly became resentful, and he stared at Zongxiang: "If it weren't for you, I would be standing in your place today! The one who can make him trust and deliver The person will also be me! The alliance has long been able to win!"

Munakata Reisi was silent, and Yan Jinyuan didn't mean to listen to what Munakata said.

"The rotten country of the Chinese Federation should have been destroyed a long time ago! A general died in a safe zone like this, and they still let him be buried casually on the grounds of preventing virus infection?! Reissa Munakata, you You should know why the general is infected, right?" He raised his voice and questioned Munakata, then pulled out the gun from his waist.The team leaders all vigilantly pulled the trigger, Munakata raised his hand to stop the movement of the deputy beside him, and continued to listen to him.

Yan Jinyuan was almost on the verge of losing control, his body trembling uncontrollably, like anger and sadness.

When Fu Ling was buried today, it was the closest he was to Yu Zhang Xun, separated by a layer of coffins.

"But the general didn't have any resentment about it. If it's just your own anger, please don't presumptuously call it the general's name." Munakata Reisi looked at him, his voice was steady and without any emotion.

"Ha...whatever you want to say." Yan Jinyuan gasped, and suddenly smiled, "But Munakata Reji——I won this time!" He raised his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun on his hand own temple.

"Stop him!"

It's a pity that it was a step late.

"Long live the alliance!" Yan Jinyuan shouted, smiling wildly, and pulled the trigger.
