steel horn

In the fishing village in the middle of the night, everything is silent, a slightly fishy sea breeze is blowing from the seaside, and the night sky is full of stars.

In the quiet night when everyone is sleeping peacefully, in a precipitous rocky bay, there is a ship docking quietly in the darkness.Shao Jun was wearing ordinary clothes and carrying a simple backpack. He stared at the boat as it docked, and then jumped up lightly. The people inside did not ask anything, and the boat quietly left the shore. Sailing into the thick black sea, it quickly disappeared into the vast sea.

There were not many people in the boat, only about a dozen of them. They were silent and did not speak. They just waited quietly for the boat to sail away until they could no longer see the coast. The restless people felt more at ease. One of them was a young man. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you finished picking up all the guests? Should you leave the cordon? Can you arrive at the Empire tomorrow? It doesn't mean that this is the closest seaport to the Empire, and you can arrive there in a day."

No one paid attention to him, and the voice in the dark cabin seemed to disappear.The young man coughed to ease his embarrassment.Finally, a woman replied in a low voice: "It's not that fast. The one that can arrive in one day is the Titanium Seagoing Ship. Besides, we have to avoid the main routes and have to change ships. It's not bad to get there in three days."

The young man seemed to have gotten a life-saving straw, and chatted with the woman: "I still need to change the ship? Isn't that still very dangerous?"

The woman said: "The naval patrol inspection is very strict, and you can't avoid it if you don't change the ship, but most of them focus on checking people who are smuggled from the empire to the alliance. After all, there are few stowaways from the alliance to the empire, so the investigation is not too strict—— Besides, we must change to a bigger ship, otherwise, just a few of us will not be able to earn back the shipping fee."

The young man who couldn't calm down may be too disturbed, so he could only use words to relieve the tension in his heart: "Yes, most of the people who sneaked past the alliance are smugglers... I have a distant aunt over there, so I'm sorry Let her sell the electronic terminal over there, I heard that it is very easy to sell, what about you?"

The woman stopped talking, apparently feeling that the young man was a little too frivolous, who from the alliance to the empire was not a smuggler?And most of them are carrying small high-tech products, avoiding high taxes, and taking this risk because the profits are large enough, but how can it be so easy to tell others the way to get rich?

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the young man became more and more embarrassed. He touched his nose and said to himself: "This is the first time for me. I'm really scared. It's because my younger brother is sick and short of money. The weather is fine. Have a safe journey, and the inspection navy gentlemen hold your hands high."

There was still silence in the boat.

The woman before finally couldn't bear it, and explained to the young man: "Ghost Eye Seven's boat route is the most stable, and of course it has been checked, otherwise there will be no accidents for so many years. It's really not good, I was really caught , Generally, it means confiscating the goods, fines are enough, at worst, running a few times in vain, don’t worry too much, after all, after the war, the economy is depressed, it’s not easy for everyone, and the military is turning a blind eye.”

One person finally couldn't help but opened his mouth: "Hehe, I heard that some members of the military do it privately."

Others couldn't help but whispered: "No, right? The military will go to court-martial for smuggling."

"Hehe, can you make money without risk? What is enough money for being a soldier?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The cabin fell into deathly silence again.

The boat continued galloping steadily and quietly on the sea, and after an unknown amount of time, the boat stopped suddenly.

This is wrong, all the people in the cabin straightened up, feeling a little impatient, and the young man who was impatient before couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? Why did the ship stop? Is it time to change the ship?"

The woman whispered: "No, it's not time to change the boat, don't talk, listen."

The boat didn't move at all, and amidst the sound of water on the sea outside, there was the sound of boats from far to near, as if they were surrounded from all directions.

An older man said viciously: "It's a law enforcement boat! Damn it! This trip was for nothing!"

Someone quietly opened the glass window on the side of the cabin to look out, and suddenly took a deep breath: "Isn't that a mech in the sky! There are also warships! There are so many warships!"

The smugglers all gasped: "Why are you so unlucky! This is a military exercise? It's over, you won't be caught."

It was still quiet outside, and suddenly a voice sounded, even though it passed through the waves and wind, it still reached everyone's ears clearly and steadily: "Duin, come out."

The voice was firm and calm, but with a sense of oppression that made people feel dangerous. The tourists were surprised and suspicious, and looked around at the people around them: "Who is Du Yin?"

Shao Jun sighed inwardly, stood up, walked through the pitch-black cabin under the surprised eyes of the sailors, pushed open the cabin door and walked out. The deck was already surrounded by boats who did not know when. The spotlights were as bright as daylight, and as soon as his tall and straight figure appeared, he was immediately locked by all the apertures and illuminated him in white.

The expression on Shao Jun's face did not change, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his head, looking at the huge black monster suspended in mid-air, the quiet and huge battleship was quietly lurking in the dark night, in the sparse starlight of the sky, the fuselage of the battleship The sharp lines on the top shone with a cold luster—it was the battleship form of the Tianbao Mecha, a high-level mecha exclusively for the Alliance Marshal, all the gun compartments were opened, and densely packed gun nozzles protruded, all facing the sea Get on this ordinary civilian boat.

The mech stretched out a huge mechanical hand from the side of the mecha, and it stopped firmly at Shao Jun's feet. He stepped up and stood up. The mechanical fingers were slightly closed, and a mask flashed in the palm of his hand, covering him inside. , in the huge palm, he looked much slender, and was firmly controlled in the mask, and the palm was steadily retracted upwards, and sent all the way into the main cabin of the mecha.

The mech changed from a battleship to an airship mode, swishing towards the sky, but suddenly, it disappeared into the darkness in the distance, and the ships surrounding the stowaway also turned off their spotlights and turned around. Leaving, as if they suddenly appeared, disappeared suddenly.

Only the frightened stowaways and the stowaway owners were left, stunned and at a loss on the sea.

*****

The light in the airship was dim, and Shao Jun was firmly locked on the seat behind by the photon lock. His ankles, legs, and waist were all fixed on the seat, and his hands were also locked on the armrest.

The automatic door opened, and a blond man walked in. He was wearing a dark blue Union military uniform with no wrinkles, and the gold tassels on the shoulder straps representing the marshal were shining brightly. On the expressionless Shao Jun, he was none other than Alliance Marshal Ke Xia.

Shao Jun and Ke Xia looked at each other with frozen blue eyes, with a calm expression. A few days ago, he was the most beautiful and trusted captain of the guard around the alliance marshal, but now he is a defected prisoner who is tightly bound. Defecting and leaving the country was caught by his immediate superior. This is a felony that can be shot dead on the spot, but he didn't show a shy, evasive or nervous look on his face.

Of course there will be no emotional changes, because he is a robot - although only Ke Xia knows.

Ke Xia took a deep breath and sat on the seat opposite him, and asked in a deep voice: "When I received a secret report that you might defect, I didn't believe it at all. I received another contact from you from another place to sneak into the empire." I'm still skeptical about the information about the Ghost Eye Seven's ship. I asked someone about your inspection itinerary, and your guard said that you were unwell and didn't participate in the inspection, so I knew something was wrong. Tell me, why did you suddenly hide it from me? Want to smuggle to the empire? Or use this method."

Shao Jun lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Ke Xia frowned: "Is there a bug in the program? Is it infected by a virus? Or has someone tampered with your program and given you other instructions? Are you being held hostage?" His cold blue eyes fixed on The person in front of him - in the eyes of everyone, he is his most trusted and loyal guard captain, but only he knows that the person in front of him is an intelligent robot who has followed him and served him since he was a child.No matter how loyal a person is, as long as the chips are big enough, he may betray. However, as an intelligent robot who only knows how to obey its master and the program in its body, it is really unimaginable to suddenly defect.

After asking a series of questions but getting no answer, Shao Jun still didn't speak, his face was as quiet as before.Ke Xia was slightly irritable, and stood up and walked a few steps back and forth. The military boots made a slight friction sound on the airship's thick carpet.

Time passed in silence like this, the airship landed, and the Marshal's Mansion arrived. Ke Xia walked over and leaned over to look at him: "Listen to Du Yin, tell me now that you will never run away again, Obediently stay by my side, and I'll let you go. You don't want your subordinates to see you come back by hand, do you?"

His icy blue eyes stared at Shao Jun without blinking, his face was too close, the two even breathed intertwined, Shao Jun raised his eyes to meet his eyes, then he still staggered his eyes, and continued to remain silent.

Ke Xia let out a heavy breath, then stretched out his hands suddenly, approached him in a bullying manner, and stretched his hands behind him to wrap him around. It was like a close hug, but Shao Jun froze, feeling Ke Xia's tenderness. Pulling out his shirt, poking in from the bottom of the hem, groping his spine with fingers one by one, Shao Jun instantly realized what he was going to do, and suddenly struggled violently: "No!"

The photon lock stopped him from struggling, and Ke Xia pressed his back with one hand to stop his fierce resistance, while the other hand had accurately touched the bump, and pressed down hard.

That is the power off button on Shao Jun's robot body.

Shao Jun's vision went dark, all energy supply was forcibly cut off, and he didn't know anything.

Ke Xia watched the black-haired robot in front of him close his eyes, his tense body relaxed, his face was peaceful as if he was just asleep, but if you look closely, you will find that he is not breathing or has any body temperature.

For so many years, he has never seen him sleep, the robot never rests, and has been silently by his side. In the most difficult days, he never left and never left. He has long regarded him as a part of his body, but now He actually wants to leave him... Who is behind the scenes?

Ke Xia closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the momentary out-of-control rage in his heart, pressed the photon lock that locked the robot, and stretched out his hand to hug him horizontally.The touch of the cold and lifeless body made him pause, and then he walked out. The adjutant who was waiting for him at the cabin door rushed forward to catch it, but backed away after he signaled.
