On the positioning light screen, Lin Hai only saw a large red tentacle on the screen, which suddenly seemed to be alarmed, and then the various lines turned urgently towards this slope.
On the ground, the mechs of the squads on Raphael and Tavasi's sortie routes seemed to have turned to the place where the previous squads of mechs were attacked for the first time, so smoke dragons rose everywhere, showing that the forces of the two major air thief forces were rushing towards their ambush at this time.
Because they were scattered too much before, the forces of the two air thieves wanted to rush over, and it would take at least nearly an hour, Lin Hai led Redier and others from the shallow land of the slope valley, rushed into the stone forest, and in the smoke and dust, the stone forest in front of them quickly separated to both sides in the gallop of the mecha, Lin Hai's mecha screen, constantly changing and analyzing the terrain, I believe that at this moment, the nine mecha following behind him also don't understand why they are alternately shuttling in this stone forest, Walk around the huge sand and fossils!
Despite their doubts, the Sky Thieves showed great maneuverability, following after Gondor Mech.
Lin Hai manipulated Gondor to pull his leg and kick on the ground, staggering past a large weathered stone pillar in front of him, and then like a dagger, he slammed into the center of the assault team composed of the "mantis" and "warhammer" mecha that had just crossed here, and cut it off!
As soon as the nine mechs of Reddil turned out of the stone pillar, they saw Lin Hai riding alone, kicking up dust like arrows, charging and blocking the waist to cut off the opponent's team.
"Kill!"
After a short period of stagnation, the nine mecha instantly launched at full power, chasing behind Lin Hai, like nine giants, covering Lin Hai into the opponent's battle formation!
One by one, the "Praying Mantis" and "Warhammers" were struck down in this unexpected scene, the cockpit was destroyed by Gondor with three punches and two kicks, the cutting blade in Raidier's hand was broken to pieces, and the entire body was smashed into the earth by Shattrath. Before the raid team could figure out how many mechs had been killed, the battlefield was instantly devastated in a daze.
The whole process takes only a few minutes. This team of mechs was buried in the sand.
Shattrath's eyelids were jumping and he looked at the Gondor mecha, just now Lin Hai came out of the team, bringing up a cloud of arrow dust, and the picture of killing into the opponent's mecha group like a divine help was too profound, and even he was still unbelievable, how did Lin Hai know that there was a team of mecha here? How can you time your sortie so well? Is the person in that mecha a monster?
Shattrath felt a sense of horror. Thinking of the arrogant and untamed Reddile, he actually expressed his allegiance to the other party, which made him look at Lin Hai more and more, the more he felt the unpredictable thrilling. It's the first time he's seen through a person like this.
After solving the work at hand, the mechs were silent at this time, standing facing Gondora.
Two beautiful annihilation battles in a row, maybe even they didn't realize it, the recklessness that belonged to the air thieves seemed to be peeled off at this moment, and there was only an inexplicable expectation and excitement, as if they were faintly excited to expect this Gondor mecha to bring any surprises to the next action.
...
On the light screen, the red dot mecha group that was originally rushing towards the first attack point instantly appeared in a panic and sluggishness, and in a few seconds of change, Lin Hai saw the red enemy mecha group from the positioning light screen, divided into two halves, half of them rushed to the first location, and the other half began to turn from different attack routes, towards the second attack point where they were at the moment.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Hai could fully imagine the shock of the two major forces of Raphael and Tavasi at this moment.
Before, they were hunted down and killed by ferocious people, but now, Lin Hai finally had a feeling of being in control, and he was happy to let these two air thief forces deeply perceive what panic was.
Gondor pulled the mech's figure around again and continued to act. This time, Redil and the other nine mechs did not lag at all, almost the next second of Gondor's movement, they seemed to have been waiting for the rapid launch of his action, and the ten mechs were like a whole at this moment, diving into the vast wind and sand.
...
The wind and sand roll around its body, the wind and sand cover its shadow, and the wind and sand cover its sound.
Lin Hai and the others were walking in the wind and sand, listening to the rustling sound of the sand and dust hitting the surface of the mecha, and the sonar system and infrared light system of the mecha did not play any role. Only ten mechs followed closely between extremely limited visual distances, chasing Lin Hai through the wind and sand. Like a group of warriors on an expedition.
Wind and sand limit their vision and hearing, and the same is true for enemy mechs. However, Lin Hai is also able to see the other party through the "eye" of the positioning system, lock on the other party, and attack the other party.
So in the second attack point of another group of assault team, horrified to find that from the surrounding wind and sand, one after another energy cannons bombarded out, hitting their mecha on the energy cover, in a short period of time of concentrated fire and fire, their dozens of mecha were damaged by one-third, in the panic of the squad leader, creepy to find that in the surrounding wind and sand, reflected in his pupils, slowly appeared, is a team of demon god-like black shadows...
...
Tavasi, Raphael's back was covered in a cold sweat, and from the top of the Friend or Foe system, they could see the red dots representing their mechs, which were being attacked everywhere... Squad after squad, all of them were annihilated in formation...
For the first time, Tavasi and Raphael felt a panic, they joined forces, and the momentum was mighty, this group of nearly two hundred mechas, it can be said that in the new South Star, it is enough to run rampant on the vast planet of Wuji. Even in the face of the armed forces of the military region, there is no fear.
It was a powerful force they were proud of, but now they were ambushed.
They didn't know how many enemies were ambushed in the shadows, and in a short period of time, they were able to swallow up their four squads and nearly forty mechs!
This kind of power, like maggots on the tarsal bones, silently sticks to their bone marrow, gnawing at the flesh and blood they have accumulated over the years!
Coupled with the previous battles, the disabled mechs of Tavasi and Raphael, in total, have reached sixty, and now on the friend or foe identification device, there are only more than a hundred mechas, showing their teeth and claws everywhere, but it seems that they are also being hit invisibly, one by one...
This terrifying feeling was unprecedented for Tawasi and Raphael, as if there was a pair of greedy eyes staring at them, and there was a demon that was quietly eating away at their mecha group!
"Why do they know what we're doing?"
"Why are our people ambushed everywhere?"
"Why can't we see their people?"
Raphael asked three rhetorical questions in a row, and his voice trembled slightly in the air.
There was a lingering voice, but no one answered.
Tavasi only felt that he was sweating profusely, as the leader of the Sky Bandit Force, known for its brutality, he had been rid of the useless emotion of fear for a long time, but at this moment, he felt fear again. People have a fear of the unknown, and now it is as if there is some mysterious force that is making their enemies, and he feels his hairs stand on end.
"All mecha squads, no pursuit, central protection!"
"All mech squads, assemble at the rendezvous point! Don't attack without permission! "
Under the orders of Tawasi and Reddil, the surviving mechs began to gather in a place centered on the two of them.
They are sure that in this stone forest composed of wind and sand, there is some kind of demon that is encroaching on them, if it continues, it is very likely that the entire mecha group will be damaged here, and their two major air thief forces in Xinnanxing have already suffered serious damage, and if they continue, I am afraid that it is not impossible to bury their bones in this terrible place.
Therefore, in the shortest possible time, the two air thief leaders unanimously decided that all the mecha detachments that had been scattered out and originally planned to pursue Reddil should gather in the center to face the unknown terrible threat in this piece of dust!
...
On the light screen, seeing the countless red bright spots that began to converge towards the center, Lin Hai finally showed a smile, he looked back at the nine mecha around him, although he was still vigorous, but after a series of annihilation battles, in fact, both the mecha and the air thief pilots inside were exhausted.
Many mecha have also been damaged to varying degrees, and their combat effectiveness is less than sixty percent. If they want to continue, they only have ten mechas, even if they break them one by one, if they want to eat the remaining 120 mechs of the Air Thieves Group, no matter how brave they are, they will have a limit.
Seeing the positioning light screen, my heart was obviously chilled, and it was already the two major air thief groups stationed in a group of frightened birds. Lin Hai turned around to face the nine mecha behind him and said, "The goal has been achieved!" We can now go to the meeting point with peace of mind! "
The nine mechs behind him responded violently at the same time, "Understood! "
At this moment, Shattrath and the others only felt a stream of heat, rushing straight to the spinal cord.
In the face of Lin Hai, they had no objections, and finally understood Reddil's vision of knowing people. After witnessing Lin Hai's divine help to defeat the enemy, although they only had nine dilapidated mechs that could be used for combat at this time, and most of them were already sleepy, they only felt that a new era belonging to them was unfolding in front of them at this time!
That is not the old situation where the three major air thief forces of the New South Star are fighting against each other, but the era that belongs only to them is coming!
In the temporary camp in the woods thirty kilometers away from the second military station, everyone waited anxiously, and only the sound of countless salsa was heard.
Staying in the temporary rendezvous place, the only mecha stationed in the van raised the gun in his hand, and Xia Ying and the others looked nervously into the depths of the woods under the cover of the air thieves with guns.
Countless leaves fell with a fluttering dance, and among the pillars of stellar light that pierced the forest, one after another dusty mechs appeared on the other side of the woods, led by ... Gondora.
When Linhairedil's blocking team returned, he was immediately in a state of excitement when he was praying for a temporary rendezvous site.
The pilot of the elite mecha squad stopped the mecha and jumped out of the cockpit, and was immediately surrounded by the air thieves in the camp, naturally asking to tell the story of the battle along the way.
And everyone kept pointing in the direction of Lin Hai's side between whispers, so that the faces showed a certain surprise, excitement, excitement, and a look like a monster staring at the man they thought was too young.
Lin Hai didn't care about the previous battle summary and the changes in the air thieves around him, he knew very well that the reason why he was suddenly able to locate those air thieves was not unrelated to the electronic map that David gave him, and even David was helping behind it.
Facing Reddier, who jumped out of the cockpit and took a bottle of water and poured it into his mouth to replenish his physical strength, Lin Hai looked at the military base visible in the distance, and said, "Next, Xia Ying and I will enter the base, you wait for us here for a day, and we haven't come out after a day, which means that we have contacted the outside world through the base, and we are about to return to the empire." Then you will evacuate yourselves. "
"So..." Reddil glanced at the Gondor mech that had been wrapped in countless hay and dug out of a cave in the mountain wall.
"Just let it be here, and when the time comes, you can evacuate, and I have my own way to transport it away." To enter the base, Gondor La's mecha has to be stored here for the time being because it is secretive, Lin Hai took out its central computer, and he is not worried about Gondora's temporary storage here, no one can start this mecha without his instructions.
He and Lin Hai had already had a detailed plan before, and Redier was not surprised by the fact that they were about to part ways.
When they left Cohen's warehouse, they welded the gate with a welding torch in the mech's toolbox, and when they returned to safety, Lin Hai and Xia Ying returned to the Imperial society, and Reddier managed to lead the air thieves to transfer the tobacco. At the same time, Lin Hai also gave Reddier a backdoor contact information, which was the secret contact number of Yu Jiangzhi's underground simulation cabin. Under the mirror protection of the immersive pod, the communication between them is not sufficient to be eavesdropped.
Reddirle nodded, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the group of air thieves behind him who were watching Lin Hai, and then said to him, "Aren't you going to say something at the end?" "
The air thieves all stopped whispering with their eyebrows fluttering, and their eyes fell on him, this was the first time that they had shown such a grand attention to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai asked himself that he had never been a so-called seditious orator, and he didn't intend to say something exciting at this time to cheer up these air thieves, because he was not good at this at all, but he muttered for a moment, and then faced those many air thieves, and said softly, "Live well." "
Live well.
This is a very simple statement.
But all the air thieves, at this moment, there is silence. They didn't wait for the stirring and sensational speech, but this sentence lived well, and the sincerity in it made some people's hearts feel a kind of difficulty and touching.
These four simple words seem to be more penetrating than many thousand words.
Some muttered, then nodded heavily, as if making a silent promise.
The air thieves just looked at Lin Hai and his party, drove the van, and galloped straight towards the faint military buildings of the second military station.
...
The commander of the second military garrison, Smai, walked quickly down the corridor, and behind him were several adjutants, as well as Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu, two of the most powerful students. The adjutant, who walked at the back of the crowd, did not forget to squint at the metal wall as he passed through the smooth mirror-like corridor, casually arranging the brim of his hat and grooming, trying to make himself look more energetic.
The arrival of Xia Ying, the idol of the empire who was a survivor of the Seagull passenger ship accident, caused a sensation in almost the entire military base. Smai knew that there were no more rabbit cubs out there who wanted to see the girl's appearance. If it weren't for military regulations and regulations, they would have swarmed in droves.
Before coming to the reception room, Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu both glanced at each other, and then straightened their backs in unison, as if they also hoped to leave a good impression on Xia Ying as a base officer at the first glance.
The door of the reception room slid open, and it was the beautiful woman sitting at the end of the long table in the room. Having been prepared but unprepared made all the officers who caught their eyes have a feeling of sudden tension and pleasing to the eye.
Facing the eyes of the large group of officers who appeared at the door, Xia Ying felt a little embarrassed for the first time. After all, her face was not as clean as usual on the run, and her sideburns and face were a little dusty. However, in the eyes of these soldiers, they seem to still be as curious as flowers and admire and appreciate endlessly.
At this time, the officers who entered the reception room found that there were three other men in the room. Warren handed over his business card, "This ... Producers, Ladies and Gentlemen, please advise! "
Where would the resident commander Smai care if Warren was a producer or not, he had already walked in with a smile on his face, "Miss Xia Ying, the shipwreck of the Seagull shocked the entire Riverside Star and the Imperial Society, and now countless people are worried about your safety, and now that you are fine, it is indeed a sigh of relief." By the way, my wife and daughter who are far away in Milan Star enjoy watching your show every week. "
Xia Ying has taken on the anchor work of many TV programs, and has always shown people the image of Yanli Miaoman, in the eyes of many people, her confidence and calmness are the benchmark typical image of girls in the new era.
The girls envy her life and like to listen to her intelligent advice and attention to social issues, while the middle-aged uncles are content to silently watch her bloom in the corner, imagining that if they can be more than 20 years younger, they will definitely embark on the road of chasing stars, and they are willing to look at her, just like watching their own youth that they have passed away and can never chase.
Smai is like this, and the young officers behind him have a great eyeball effect on being able to see Xia Yingzhen for the first time, so that following Smai, there are suddenly many more people than usual, and suddenly the originally wide living room suddenly seems to be a lot smaller, and behind the young officers and soldiers, there are people who appear at the door one after another, stacked higher and higher, and can catch a glimpse of the beautiful figure inside, and their eyes are brighter and brighter.
Looking at the posture behind him, Simai secretly scolded "these little rabbit cubs" in his heart, coughed dryly, and looked at Xia Ying with great embarrassment, "This ... Makes you smile..."
"Nothing." Xia Ying smiled lightly.
It provoked Du Ziqiang, Chen Yu and other young officers behind Smai, and their wheezing was a little short. Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu secretly scolded and did not fight, when they were at the Fontainebleau Military Academy, the beautiful and hot girls in the academy came and went as soon as they were called, and every day they woke up surrounded by different women, but after staying in this remote frontier station for a long time, when they saw the girls at first glance, they were all a little like the first brother's heartbeat. However, in other words, if they are really favored by the Imperial Idol Girl in front of them, it is more glorious than they can defeat the enemy army.
So Du Ziqiang subconsciously found that Chen Yu was actually standing straighter and more forward than before, with a fair face, there was still a terrifying demeanor at this time, and the eyes that had never been calm to the point of being expressionless were shining at this time, staring at the girl who was close to him.
Du Ziqiang secretly scolded "despicable", and quietly took a step forward, pinning his arm to Chen Yu's arm, ignoring Chen Yu's cannibalistic eyes, standing even higher than him, and looking at Xia Ying with eyes that were more discharged than him. They were the "Fontaine" and "White Dew" of the year, they were not only the most dazzling officers, but also competitors who never surrendered to each other, even in front of the idols of the empire, they would not let each other give up half a point! Because they both know each other's "charm", they are really afraid that the other party's "electric eye" will accidentally hook the woman in front of them.
The commander of the military region, Smai, had a terrible headache, and those admiring soldiers who got the news and followed him like wolf cubs to block the door, why did these two most proud students under him actually compete with each other like this, and these two guys really wanted to soak in the beautiful woman who was the idol of the empire in front of them? Two snowwolves also have a time of spring? But they didn't know that the girl in front of them was not just an imperial idol.
Of course, Xia Ying saw the outstanding posture of the two officers trying to stand tall in the crowd, and of course she saw their burning eyes staring at her. But at this time, she ignored it, and in many of the events she had experienced, such as the behavior of the two officers in front of her, it was actually commonplace. Even more outrageous and fanatical are extremely common. It's just that she thinks the two of them are a little funny at this time, like two children who are about to grab candy to eat.
She glanced at Lin Hai and showed a helpless smile.
In the living room, Xia Ying was a well-deserved focus, and the rest of the people who survived with her were no different from passers-by in the eyes of the group of officers and soldiers at the base. Xia Ying became the center of them, her smile, every movement and every look were all concerned in the eyes of people, so when her eyes fell on Lin Hai, everyone seemed to have suddenly discovered this man.
And the most important thing is the eye contact and communication when Xia Ying looks at him.
Obviously, this tacit understanding, which rises to eye contact, has gone beyond the level of verbal dialogue.
Some officers didn't notice this, and Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu, who had keen insight, and the two white-clothed young men who had subdued countless women in the Military Academy, didn't instantly feel an inexplicable threat and vigilance, and their eyes fell on Lin Hai's body like knives at this moment.
When a man and a woman are concerned, many complex emotions can be communicated just by looking at each other. How dangerous is this?
And at the moment when the two of them stabbed their eyes at Lin Hai, he also seemed to raise his head for the first time, and his slightly narrowed eyes were just right to look at the two of them.
The two of them originally looked at each other with some hostility, but they were slightly stunned at this moment, their eyes were like swords, but they seemed to have fallen into the deep sea in those eyes, and they were overturned by the invisible surging waves, and they were quietly resolved. Lin Hai's body was like a pine, without the slightest cramped and uncomfortable forced by the eyes of the two, and he could even look at each other calmly, and his eyes were cold and slightly gathered.
Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu were concentrating, and the contempt and hostility just now immediately changed, because they actually felt an inexplicable threat and oppression on his body.
This young man is not simple.
Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu were the best "Fontainebleau" when they were in the academy, and they were arrogant from the beginning, coupled with Xia Ying's factor, so even if they found that Lin Hai was not simple, they still maintained a little bit of arrogance.
The two of them looked at Lin Hai on the left and right, and the posture and bearing they showed stood out in the whole hall. It is like two tall poplars, standing in the wind, and Lin Hai is like a harmless cypress tree compared to humans and animals, not so ostentatious, but also introverted and proud.
Just when the entire meeting room was a little strange because of the aura of the three people, the soldiers surrounding the door cracked open in a sudden thud, and a cluster of people walked into the door.
Seeing this group of people and the base non-commissioned officers in completely different uniforms, the soldiers naturally let go as if avoiding the plague, in the hearts of the soldiers, the person who came at this time was in stark contrast to Xia Ying, if Xia Ying is a gorgeous and attractive flower, then this person is no less than a pile of old garbage, and the whole person exudes a stale atmosphere.
At this time, even entering this parlor is like a blasphemy. Could it be that this man did not disturb their consciousness of such a wonderful environment in the slightest?
Facing the visitor, Smai's eyes were indifferent, and he said, "Mr. Jardine has also got the news?" "
"Miss Xia Ying came to the second military base, such a sensational thing, fortunately I didn't get the news too late..." Jia Ding paused and looked at some soldiers around him, "It's just after these soldiers." "
As for Jia Ding and the others, who blocked the base with martial law from the Intelligence Bureau, they actually received the news of Xia Ying's arrival for refuge later than the soldiers.
The aura of the entire hall seemed to be a little prickly because of the sudden arrival of the man, and Warren and Jimmy looked at this Jardine who spoke with a sour taste, wondering why this figure with the same uniform as a colonel in his uniform could be out of step with these officers.
But then they seem to be a little bit clearer.
Jia Ding sat down in front of Xia Ying, trying to squeeze out a kind of flattery, but he couldn't hold back a purposeful smile, and his eyes flashed, "I really feel very fortunate when I first heard that Miss Xia Ying escaped from the disaster, the contemptible Jia Ding is an official of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, and I have only seen Miss Xia Ying's demeanor on TV in the past, but today I can see that the beauty of real people is really better than TV." "
"I'm just an ordinary girl, how can I praise it." Xia Ying looked at the man sitting in front of her with a ritualistic attitude, and frowned slightly because of the identity of the other party.
Still smiling purposefully, Jardine continued, "Although I don't want to evoke unpleasant memories of Miss Xia Ying, I still want to know how Miss Xia Ying's shuttle plane passed through the lockdown area of the Cohen Workers' Party and came here. "
"As far as I know, it seems that the Cohen Workers' Party was still fighting before this. "
As soon as Jardin's words fell, many of the soldiers outside the hall were indignantly scolded, including the officers with higher shoulders in the hall, all of whom were dissatisfied.
Xia Ying struggled to come here for help, but Jardine still put on a defensive posture, which was completely a blasphemy against the girl in front of whom everyone wanted to protect her. It's like a person who has finally been rescued after a catastrophe, and he hasn't even had time to take a full meal or even a hot shower, but there are still people who are interrogated and questioned in person, how not to be disgusted.
Facing the scolding and dissatisfaction coming from the gate behind him, the faces of the officers around him, and the faces of the guards behind Jia Ding were a little ugly, but Jia Ding was unmoved, still smiling, his eyes pierced Xia Ying's eyes, and noticed the change in her eyes even if she glanced at others, especially the change in her demeanor when she might ask the young man next to her for help.
Warren and Jimmy, and Jardine have long known the identities of the two, only the young man beside Xia Ying does not know with his vigilant and sensitive sense of smell. According to the entry when entering the base, this is the son of a nobleman on the riverside star, but Jardine Eagle had noticed many details of this young man just now, his fingers were strong and his knuckles were prominent, which was due to some regular physical exercise. The hands of a pampered nobleman are delicate and delicate, and they are by no means as slender as this young man with some tenacity in them.
He is not inferior to the momentum of a professional soldier like Fontainebleau, and it can be seen from his posture and the curvature of his tense shoulder and back muscles that he may also have the combat effectiveness of a professional soldier.
The group of them who survived, Jimmy, Warren looked at Lin Hai from time to time, there was a hint of solemnity, and it was obvious that he was the center. Jimmy and Warren Jardine knew very well that one of these two was a famous host, the other was a famous producer, and they both belonged to the upper class of the Star Sector, so that such a person actually showed such importance to a young man, which was by no means brought by the status of a noble son, if not for specific other reasons, then it could only be that during this period of escape, this young man showed some ability to convince them all.
Jardine is a senior official of the Investigation Bureau, and sometimes he can analyze the psychology of a person just by the change in his expression, so once he locks on a person with a keen sense of smell, he will always find the person's heresy hidden under the exterior.
Lin Hai obviously entered his sight like this, and he instinctively felt that this young man was a great threat.
However, to his surprise, Xia Ying didn't glance at Lin Hai from beginning to end, did not make eye contact and did not check any possible tampering with facts, which made him deepen his suspicion of Lin Hai, and a pair of beautiful eyes just looked at him and said, "I'm already very tired from what happened all the way, let me take a break, and then report to the station, okay?" "
Xia Ying has seen a lot of different people in her career, and people like Jardine who have another purpose to ask questions, she has already dealt with them many times, at this time, these words not only unloaded Jason's stabbing questioning, but also directly gave him a dismissal, even if she wanted to report on this way, it was also to report to the military station, the commander of the base, Simay, not the so-called investigation bureau official in front of her.
Seeing Xia Ying's beautiful and sharp eyes, Jia Ding obviously didn't expect that this imperial idol didn't obediently make some mistakes, but instead saw through his cliché and gave him such a soft nail quietly.
"Of course," Jardine grinned at Xia Ying's gaze, "of course, but let me ask you an inconsequential question, you came to the base in that van... In this case, that car is the vehicle you used to travel all the way. Was that Miss Xia Ying's visiting car? "
Xia Ying was slightly stunned, because she didn't know the origin of Lin Hai's truck, and the truck was carrying a mecha, just looking at Lin Hai's hiding of the Gondor mecha in the woods thirty kilometers away when he came to the military base, she knew that Lin Hai must have some secrets.
Xia Ying didn't plan to ask Lin Hai's secret, but she wasn't sure if her current answer would destroy Lin Hai's secret. If she admits that this is a visiting car, will there be a flaw, but if it is Lin Hai's, this fox-like official of the Investigation Bureau, will he follow the traces to detect Lin Hai's secret.
What's more, Xia Ying also knew that Lin Hai's biggest secret was the handshake with the air thief leader Reddil, once such a thing was exposed, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Lin Hai, the son of the nobleman of the Xinglin clan on the riverside.
And this Jardine's question is indeed quite tricky, because this is just a casual inquiry, which does not affect Xia Ying's rest, nor does she need to recall the hardships of this journey, if she even refuses this, then what if these investigation bureau officials dismantle the truck from the inside out?
At a time when Xia Ying's eyes were not wavering, but countless ideas were already circling in her heart.
Lin Hai suddenly said from the side, "That truck is mine, just on the falling cargo shuttle, we were able to pass through the Workers' Party blockade area, all thanks to this truck." "
Jia Ding looked at Lin Hai, his eyes narrowed, and then said, "It's yours?" Then that's not surprising, so maybe you can explain to me why the van looks like a civilian vehicle, but whether it's the chassis suspension or the on-board system, it's a military structure? This truck was converted from a most ordinary heavy truck, and I wondered, what kind of person could have so much leisure to rebuild this truck, and even get so many imperial military products? "
Warren and Jimmy looked at Jardine in surprise, Jardine said that, so it means that they must have investigated their truck, when did it happen? Could it be that after receiving the news of their entry into the base, the officers of the Investigation Bureau immediately began to investigate the four of them? Even their van chassis has been checked?
What a discreet, but also disgusting bunch?
Xia Ying's eyes were full of anger, but Lin Hai, who was noticed by Jia Ding at any change in his face, was not shocked or panicked at all, but responded naturally, "I think you already know that my family is Wayne Company, and Wayne Company is a company that provides light mobile armor for the Imperial Army, so we are a half-civilian and half-military company, and it is not surprising that our trucks have been modified in this way." And this time I was in charge of transporting some armor pieces to the company's industrial area in Xinnanxing, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident halfway, on the way, because of the crash of the shuttle, most of the goods in the truck could not be used, so we left the goods and followed lightly, in order to maintain an efficient escape speed, and try to be rescued. "
"And on my map, Wayne has a dedicated map of the area, which is why we were able to cross the Workers' Party-controlled area and get to the second military base."
The words were closed, and Jardin's silent eyes flickered a little, looking at Lin Hai, who was dripping, as if he finally believed his answer, and nodded, "Very good, what are you transporting armor pieces in your truck?" Perhaps this would explain the metal particles we detected in the carriage, I don't doubt it... Then, this aristocratic gentleman, as well as Miss Xia Ying, you have worked hard, please rest well. When martial law is lifted at the base, you can report the information here. "
The whole hall sank into a very solemn silence.
After a while, Xia Ying looked at Jia Ding and said, "What did you say?" "
Lin Hai once felt a gloomy and deep aura in Jardin's body, as if this was a common problem from that local official of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, which always gave people the feeling of walking in the shadows. It's more like he'd seen a jackal in the trash star that was devouring people, so he was very careful about it.
So when he heard that Jardine and others had inspected his van, and even used a metal detector to inspect the interior of the truck, and detected metal particles, he still squinted. Glad that he had just mentioned transporting the armor plates, so that the horse's feet that had been carried by the Gondor mech were not revealed. It seems to have temporarily escaped the staring of the dark eyes of the Imperial Investigation Department.
However, Jardin's words that followed made them angry.
The base is under martial law, and now it is impossible to report any information? Includes information about Xia Ying's current refuge in the base.
Jardine spoke, "I am a senior investigator of the Imperial Investigation Department, and at this time I am leading the special forces of the Military Police directly under the Investigation Department to carry out a special secret mission of the Empire, so our whereabouts and everything are kept secret, until the Starship of the Imperial Investigation Department does not come to pick it up, I hope that Miss Xia Ying will still stay in this base, and this second station cannot be exposed to the public's vision because of you, at least not now." After we leave, the second base will naturally lift martial law, and Miss Xia Ying will be able to leave here at that time. It's just that when the time comes, I hope that Miss Xia Ying will sign an agreement on the confidentiality of those who have seen me here. "
Warren and Jimmy immediately became angry and dissatisfied, "Do you know how hard it is for us to get here? I know how many people in the outside world want to know the news of Xia Ying's safety now, this is not only the people, but also the military department of the empire! Whether you rely on the investigation bureau behind it or not, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand! Secretly concealing the news of the survivors of the air crash, once it spreads, do you still want to keep the hat on your head? Warren has long known how to deal with these officials, no matter what kind of officials they are, they will never dare to risk offending public opinion, especially the people behind Xia Ying.
"Of course I know this," Jia Ding suddenly raised his voice, "I know more about Miss Xia Ying's background in the army... Oh, if I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to ask Miss Xia Ying to express my respect to the outstanding young admiral of the First Fleet on my behalf... I don't mean to offend you, but I also ask you to understand that we are on a secret mission of the Empire, and because of this, I will impose martial law on the base, which is a helpless move, and if you really want to blame it afterwards, then I can only bear it alone. "
Special secrets, big tasks supervised by the Investigation Bureau, these big hats are pressed down, even if Jardine verbally says "take it all in", he can also see that he has no fear.
Although Warren has a lot of experience dealing with officials, and he knows that ordinary officials are in awe of a figure like him who controls the power of public opinion and mouthpiece, he also understands that this Jardine in front of him is not an ordinary official, he has a big brand like a special classified mission in his hand, how can he really take the threat of Warren Jimmy in his eyes, and even have a slightly mocking face.
After seeing Jardin's words, the base commander Simay who was present, as well as all the base non-commissioned officers in the living room, were silent. Lin Hai and Xia Ying knew that what this Jardine said was true, the entire base was shrouded in a special secret mission and entered a state of martial law, and all information that happened here would be cut off from the outside world.
Xia Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, I hope your investigation bureau's starship will arrive soon, because there are still many people who are worried about my safety, I just want to tell them the news of safety, I am tired and want to rest." "
Jia Ding couldn't hear the hidden anger and annoyance in Xia Ying's tone, smiled dryly, and nodded, "In this case, I will leave next, and please ask Miss Xia Ying to rest early." "
...
As Jardine and his party walked out of the living room, the hostility and disgust in the hall naturally disappeared with his departure.
All the soldiers seemed to be a little more relaxed, Du Ziqiang and Chen Yucai seemed to have found common ground from Lin Hai and the others, Du Ziqiang shrugged and said, "Now you should understand why our base was like heaven before, but now it is like a volcano bubbling with magma. "
The temperament of these soldiers guarding the frontier has always been straightforward, and they were wary and hostile to Lin Hai because of Xia Ying's factors, but now because Lin Hai is neither humble nor arrogant to Jia Ding, they feel that they are on the right path, so they show kindness for the first time.
The hostility of these soldiers came and went quickly, Lin Hai laughed at it, but after going back and forth with Jia Ding like this, he could at least confirm that Xu Teng was in a hidden corner of the base at the moment.
Stan arranges them in the reception quarters of the base, even if it is a frontier base, but the hospitality is still not simple, and it even has the feel of a star-rated hotel in a big city. Leading their group were Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu, who introduced all the way to this base that looked like it was just a station at first glance, but in fact it was full of various facilities, from hangars, to flower platforms, lookouts, radar stations, and simply a base with a metallic texture, but it was taken care of by these imperial soldiers with a different kind of liveliness.
There are several chairs in the center of the observation tower, facing the stellar sun, which is called the "sundeck", and the open field under the tower is transported by the officers and soldiers of the base from the surrounding sand and gravel area, and the broken fine sand is thrown on the playground, and a net fence is erected in the center, and several soldiers are playing beach volleyball on it with their dark shoulders. The agitated sand and dew were even more vibrant in the dark and knotted skin of the soldiers under the light of the clear and starry stars.
And inside the base, there is even a heated swimming pool in the dormitory area, although the geography of the New South Star Frontier is difficult, but the Empire's supply to these bases has never been guaranteed in the first place, so that there is so much fresh water that it can be supplied at will.
Although the entire base has a military flavor, it has a strong casual atmosphere, and if these soldiers want to stay on this imperial border planet for ten years to guard, they really need to be allowed to have some spirit of joy in suffering.
Enjoying the scenery of the base, Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu, the two best non-commissioned officers, lost no time in talking to Xia Ying, but even if the two tried their best, they only kept Xia Ying smiling politely, and did not shine with the moving brilliance they expected in the depths of their eyes.
The two were called "Fontainebleau" in the academy back then, naturally because they had the courage to break men's hearts and the charm to make girls fall in love.
It can be said that they are invincible in the academy in terms of combat performance, and in terms of the kung fu of bubble girls, the legend of the two senior brothers is still circulating in the academy.
But in the face of Xia Ying, they have a feeling that they have nowhere to start, since this girl is not moved by their appearance and charm, she must pay attention to the connotation, but the humorous conversation and demeanor they showed throughout the leading process are enough to make some sons and daughters of the capital star circle ashamed of themselves, but they still failed to impress this girl.
Sending Xia Ying and his party to the room, when they were about to part, Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu did not lock their eyes on Xia Ying this time, but threw their eyes on Lin Hai for the first time.
Facing Du Ziqiang and Chen Yu's strange eyes, Lin Hai smiled slightly bitterly. Because it is very obvious, there is only one meaning in the eyes of these two guys, which is the secret jealousy and admiration that he has won this imperial idol.
For this kind of unexplainable thing, Lin Hai could only be helpless.
The guest rooms in the base are very abundant, everyone lives in one room, and the food that is delivered is a rare meal for them who have been eating liquid food from the Reddirle Air Thieves to maintain their strength. Jimmy and Warren lay on the bed after eating, although they temporarily entered the base closed by Jardin's martial law, and their news could not be reported to wait for the rescue ship, but the current treatment for them was heaven and earth compared to before.
The two of them longed to sleep for seventy-two hours on a bed that was countless times softer than the truck seat.
And Lin Hai, who was alone in the room, was a little dazed, and finally came here... But then he faced the problem of meeting with Xu Teng.
Looking at the attitude of Jia Ding's group of officials from the Investigation Bureau, it seems that Xu Teng is regarded as an imperial felon, once he Lin Hai and Xu Teng come into contact, he doesn't know what it will bring? Can he really rehabilitate the black cauldron on his back and re-evaluate the conclusions of those Bureau of Investigation officials about him? What I'm facing now is a spy, a man who has been convicted of treason.
A headache is a headache, but there is no better clue.
There was a knock at the door.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by Xia Ying, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, her hair tied back, her collarbone below the pink neck was covered by the bathrobe, and the curve stretched all the way to the deep shadows that were easy to make people think.
Lin Hai was a little caught off guard, turned his gaze away, tried to calm down, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What to do?" "
Facing Xia Ying, who arrived wrapped in a bathrobe, Lin Hai tried to be calm but couldn't calm down, and said the sentence "What to do?" "
Even he didn't realize that when he said this, Lin Hai's Adam's apple unexpectedly rose and fell. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he and Xia Ying each had their own rooms, but now they were alone...
These cramped small details seemed to be taken into Xia Ying's eyes, her eyes were bent, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she was extremely beautiful, but her hand reached for the belt of the bathrobe, and then pulled it away, the bathrobe unfolded and hung down, Lin Hai felt that his heartbeat instantly seemed to be tripped.
The body of the girl exposed in front of him is more and more beautiful under the outline of a pink one-piece swimsuit.
"What are you ..." Lin Hai came back to his senses after the initial shock.
Xia Ying smiled at him, her cheeks were a little cute, "I haven't taken a bath for a long time... There happens to be a pool at the base, do you want to be together? "
By the pool inside the base, I saw Xia Yingyu jumping into the water like a fish, and the diving posture was skillful but quiet and elegant to the extreme. Lin Hai thought of the girl's swimsuit outlining the plump body line again, and couldn't help but speed up a little. He didn't expect that the reception hall at this base would be so thoughtful, so thoughtful that it was even equipped with one-size-fits-all men's and women's swimsuits, but the swimsuit Xia Ying was wearing was obviously a little tight...
But she didn't seem to notice at all, surrounded by completely transparent synthetic glass, and the star-red pillars of light outside penetrated through the glass into the inner pool, reflecting a reddish sparkling golden light, and Xia Ying shuttled between those pools of light, with a graceful posture like a swimming fish.
Although Xia Ying dragged him to swim, he did not jump into the pool with her to desecrate the beauty of the moment. Instead, he just sat quietly on a metal chair and watched Xia Ying happily shuttle in the pool.
At this moment, it seems that all the previous predicaments and calamities can be left behind.
But Lin Hai thought of the future out of place.
Today, when Jia Ding said that the news of their rescue could not be reported to the outside for the time being, although Xia Ying was angry, Lin Hai could feel that she was actually not resisting in her heart. She probably just wanted to prolong the scene a little longer.
Once they return to Imperial society, she will put on a mask and revert to her status as the daughter of the Charles. You will only see an imperial icon with a lot of manners on the TV screen.
She is the kind of unattainable woman who will not appear in ordinary life.
And he is just a member of the Xinglin family on the riverside, continuing his life and walking the path he wants to take, but he is destined to be far away from her. Maybe one day when you stop, you can only see her appearance on the big light curtain in the bustling city.
Xia Ying leaned out of the water, turned her head and smiled lightly with him, the words and laughter of the two of them were like the corona of a stellar phoenix in this quiet pool, colorful and gorgeous.
Xia Ying stretched out her hand to him, as if she was going to go ashore, Lin Hai and her hand touched, but she felt that she was clenched by the delicate five fingers, Xia Ying smiled slyly at the corner of her lips, and with force on her hand, Lin Hai's whole person lost his balance and was brought into the water, stirring up a clear wave.
A giggling laugh sounded, Xia Ying came out of the water, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at him who fell into the water, and said, "Lin Hai, back to the empire, what will you do?" "
"I'm probably going to the academy for further study."
"Academy?" Xia Ying was slightly stunned, looking him up and down, her expression a little strange.
Lin Haidao, "Although I am indeed a lot older in terms of the school age of the empire, but in the past, because of some things, my foundation was poor, so I would like to repair it..." He paused and sighed, "If you want to laugh, laugh." "
Xia Ying couldn't help but "poof!" Laughing out loud, Xuan'er felt that she was not very ladylike, and tried to maintain her calm and seriousness, "It's not bad to work hard to improve yourself, after all, sometimes I go to some universities to take classes, but with the title of honorary professor..." She felt that she was not serious enough, and continued, "In this rapidly changing world, you always need to constantly enrich your knowledge and skills... I'm really not laughing at you. "
Lin Hai couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't explain! "
"But looking at the way you drove the mecha, I thought you were a soldier before..." Xia Ying's eyes reflected the color of the stars outside, as if she was recalling some fragments of reverie, and after a fleeting moment, she muttered, "Back to the Empire, I will face the atrocities of the general public accusing the attack on the passenger ship, and help find out the real culprit behind this, so that he can get the fate he deserves." "
"I'd rather you weren't some Imperial idol, the daughter of an admiral... Maybe you won't leave this way..." Lin Hai said coldly.
Xia Ying shook slightly, Xuan'er's beautiful eyes turned, stared at him and said, "You say... What? "
Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders, smiled freely, and greeted the sunset from the floor-to-ceiling windows, "The weather is very good today." "
"yes, it's really good." Xia Ying smiled and nodded, both of them looking like they had suddenly become idiots.
"When you go back, you have to help those who died this time to get justice, I believe that with your right to speak, you will definitely be able to do it." Lin Haidao.
Xia Ying's long eyelashes jumped lightly, "Well, you too, if you go back and study hard, you will definitely be able to become a truly undespised son of a nobleman." "
"I'm waiting to see the moment when you're on Imperial Television and fight for the rights of the victims."
"Well, I'm also waiting for you to come out and hear the name of Xinglinhai on the riverside."
Lin Hai grinned, "I'll do my best." "
The two of them did not speak again, in the quiet water of the pool, staring at each other and not saying a word.
At that moment, at this moment, sink into embarrassing embarrassment.
Looking at the young man who was looking up and laughing in the water, Xia Ying suddenly seemed to think of the seagull passenger ship, where they were pouring out their dreams and drinking bad words about others in the aft cabin. It was also like seeing him unmoved in the stormy beating of Li Yifeng personally led the killing of the Xingshi to ask the guilty gendarmes. Or maybe it was like seeing Lu Ming being shot, he lured out Cohen and the others, and the mecha killed the shock of the truck. Or lie on his back, watch him fight Reddirle alone, snipe the air thief scouts, and highlight the down-and-out and heroic of the encirclement. She has seen too many men who are either excellent, or temperamental, or masculine, but she has never seen this young man who is sometimes as cunning as a ruffian, sometimes as careful as a peacock that protects his feathers, and who is careful not to cause trouble, but who can stand up at a critical moment of distress and fall and rush into all turbulent waves like a comet.
Looking at the face in front of her, Xia Ying felt that this face was only seven or eight points better than the most handsome young man she had ever seen, seven or eight points better than the heroic person she had ever met, and the one who was more fortunate than the one who had the fortune of the day, and the ability to make people angry was ten dozen ten.
But it is such a face that is sometimes cautious, sometimes obscene, and sometimes as quiet as the ancient well of Pinghu, but it seems that it is difficult to take a stroke out of her life. Maybe one day when they both grow old, she may also remember this bizarre journey, remembering that there was such a young man who fought for her on this new South Star.
Maybe at that time in her heart, Lin Hai was still this young appearance, and her memory was still fresh.
Thinking of this, Xia Ying's chest was inexplicably blocked, and she took the lead in picking out, "Just now you said that you would rather I not be an idol of the empire... So that I don't have to go..."
She clenched her hands secretly, made up her mind, and wanted to say, "When I go back, maybe I'll go to you," and was about to speak, when she was suddenly interrupted by a shrill alarm bell.
In the midst of the swaying red lights, the entire base encountered an emergency with a special alert.
