The Man Disgusted by Death

Lu Zhao didn't know much about his biological father.His mother, Lu Wei, left her hometown when she was 20 years old and went to work in Kristan, a centaur arm, where she met a young man named Mu Huaiyuan, and the two soon fell in love.But not long after, Mu Huaiyuan left. He said that he was going back to his hometown, Amber, to do something, and he would be back soon.Lu Wei waited for a long time, and when the child in her stomach was born, Mu Huaiyuan did not come back, and sent countless messages to the communication number left by the other party, all of which disappeared.

At that time, Lu Wei was unable to work because of taking care of her children. She was already at the end of her rope, and finally had to ask her aunt for help.Aunt Julie left her vegetable field and orchard at home, traveled through space for the first time, and went to a strange planet to pick up her niece and Xiao Luzhao, who was only one month old.

As Lu Zhao grew up, he was puzzled by the fact that he didn't have a father, "Mom, why don't I have a father?"

"You've got Daddy's, it's just that he went to Amber."

"Where's Amber?"

"Amber is on the other side of the universe." Lu Wei's lips trembled, "It's far, far away."

Lu Zhao found that his mother was very sad, so he put his confusion behind him, "Mom, don't be sad."

"Xiao Zhao, my good Xiao Zhao." Lu Wei hugged her son and kissed his forehead, "I'm sure we were in love at the time. As for whether he changed his mind or couldn't help himself, we can't erase that relationship." , The endless speculation is too tormenting, I just want an answer, just want to know if he really doesn't want us..."

Five-year-old Lu Zhao still couldn't fully understand his mother's words. He stroked his mother's hair lightly, and comforted him like a grown-up: "It's okay mom, actually, I don't really want a father. Well, it's fine if I don't have one." .”

Lu Zhao grew up without a father. After his mother passed away, he lived with Aunt Zhu Li.Aunt Julie has no children and lives alone in the quiet Qingshi Town as a widow, earning her living by growing vegetables and fruits.While Lu Zhao was going to school, he helped his aunt to work in the fields. Occasionally, he would think of the distant Amber, where there was a person closest to his blood.

It turned out that that person had also studied in Nebula.

Lu Zhao picked up the badge and put it in the palm of his hand. In addition to Xingyun's school badge last year, there was only one number - SS2751.Without an imperial ID, it is almost impossible to find a person in the vast universe with only one name, but once you know that person has studied in Nebula, it becomes easy. It is impossible to have so many names in a school , as long as the ID number is found, it will be easier to find someone to respond to.

Lu Zhao took a deep breath and put the badge back into the box. No, he doesn’t want to look it up yet. He has his own life. His goal is to study hard and graduate smoothly. As for it never appeared in his life It doesn't matter when they will appear in the future.

After collecting the badge, Lu Zhao put the sausage sent by Aunt Julie into the refrigerator, put the pickle jar in the cabinet, and opened the box of caramel biscuits.The warm and sweet scent reminded him of the winter in his hometown. Crystal frost flowers formed on the window glass. The fireplace exuded the faint smell of burning pine branches. A few cats walked gracefully on the back of the sofa. Freshly baked snacks.

Lu Zhao picked up a biscuit and took a bite, it was as delicious as he remembered.

mom,

I miss home.

Lu Zhao

The small box containing the badge was put away by Lu Zhao at the bottom of the cabinet, and he never checked it again. Only when he accidentally opened the cabinet would he remember the existence of this thing.Lu Zhao’s time is taken up by reading and part-time jobs, and the days pass quickly. He has gradually started to catch up with the study courses. Classes are no longer like listening to heavenly scriptures, and the work of the car repair shop is gradually becoming more comfortable. The boss taught some car repair skills.

In the end, he felt that he and Qiao Miaomiao had also become friends.

Although Qiao Miaomiao was always very proud, with an attitude of 'Oh, I don't know as much as a country boy like you', and often mocked Lu Zhao's terrible grades, Lu Zhao was not angry at all because of his poor grades. It's a fact.Moreover, besides the robot in Nebula, he can only occasionally chat with Qiao Miaomiao.

"For the sake of your weakness—" Qiao Miaomiao said, "Let me remind you, my lord."

"Okay." Lu Zhao looked at him without blinking.

"According to my experience, the best subject in the year-end exam is history of war. Given your lack of intelligence, this is the only subject you can get an A in."

"Oh." Lu Zhao nodded.

"In order to get good grades in the exam, I suggest you focus on the chapters related to the Nebula Military Academy. The chances of getting questions in those chapters are relatively high."

"That's right."

Lu Zhao's enlightened appearance pleased Qiao Miaomiao, made him feel good, and kindly contributed the review materials that he planned to keep privately.

"Thank you, Miao Miao." Lu Zhao thanked.

Qiao Miaomiao waved his finger, indicating that it was a trivial matter, and then he told Lu Zhao, "I have to go to the College History Memorial Hall to worship once when I have time. It is said that the exam will go well after I go there."

"Really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? You have been to Xingyun for a long time, haven't you been to the memorial hall?"

"Yes." Lu Zhao admits that he usually stays in classrooms and dormitories, except for working part-time when he leaves for a while, he doesn't go shopping much.Although the College History Memorial Hall often passed by, they were all on the way to work, and there was no opening time for the Memorial Hall. Of course, he didn't even think about going in.

Although Lu Zhao didn't really believe in the idealism that the memorial hall can bless the exams, he still found time to go there a week before the exams.

The façade of the college memorial hall is still deliberately maintained as it was more than 100 years ago. From a distance, it looks like a small military fortress. Only when you get closer can you see the traces of repairs.After passing the inspection by the robot at the door, Lu Zhao entered the memorial hall.

It was very quiet inside, no one seemed to be there.

The interior of the whole building is very high, and under the ceiling is a huge holographic projection of nebula, coupled with the bright starry sky all around, it makes people feel as if they are in the universe.

A low-altitude hovering robot slid over silently, "Welcome to the Historical Memorial Hall of Xingyun Military Academy. Please confirm here for the first time."

A light screen appeared in front of Lu Zhao. He glanced at the visiting instructions on it, and reached out his hand to confirm.

"Hello, Lu Zhao." The robot put away the light screen, "Do you need an explanation during the visit?"

Lu Zhao felt that it would be better to have an explanation, so he nodded, "Yes."

Soon, a spherical flying robot appeared out of nowhere, "Hi, explainer No. 002 is at your service."

"Hello." Lu Zhao said.

"Student Lu Zhao, please follow me. Let's start with the first part." The robot flew to the front to lead the way, and took Lu Zhao to visit the memorial hall.

The content of this memorial hall is actually more than the history of Nebula Academy, it includes the war history of the entire empire.The first part starts from the era of empire development more than 300 years ago, until people discovered Amber; the second part is about the history of Amber, from the earliest colonial era to the development of Amber into an A-class star of the empire; the third Part of it is the real history of the college. This part of the exhibition area covers the largest area and the most detailed content. There are all kinds of display methods, including various holographic projections, physical models and precious historical materials.

"Look, this is the Transcendent 2 starfighter." The robot said, "Marshal Liao Xingshen's car was donated by the Liao family on the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of the academy."

"This is the real thing." Lu Zhao marveled. This fighter jet has been parked in the middle of the exhibition hall for more than 100 years, and the battle marks on the fuselage are still clearly visible.

"Yes, 100% real. At that time, Marshal Liao was still a major pilot. He drove this fighter to shoot down [-] Zerg fighters, and destroyed the curvature engine of the enemy Star Destroyer, so that the imperial army was there. In the second battle, the invaders were wiped out."

"It's amazing!" Lu Zhao exclaimed. He was actually a reservist in his identity, but he never had the consciousness of being a soldier.Although participating in the Pioneering Regiment is also a quasi-service status, the atmosphere of the Pioneering Regiment is more like a mercenary than an army.Because he didn't intend to formally join the army, the contribution points earned at that time were not used to exchange for military merit, but were saved.

At this time, Lu Zhao looked up at the heroes of the empire from the perspective of a commoner, but his mood was inevitably a little turbulent.

The robot continued to explain, "Statistics show that Marshal Liao shot down more than a hundred Zerg fighters in his lifetime."

"So many!" Lu Zhao continued to marvel.

"The reason why Marshal Liao can be called the God of War of the Empire is not only based on these."

A voice suddenly sounded, Lu Zhao turned his head and saw a Xingyun student, who was wearing a senior uniform and was a delicate and handsome young man.

The young man looked at Lu Zhao, with a smile on his lips, "Student, is this your first time here?"

"Yes." Lu Zhao replied.

"Hello, my name is Zong Yuan, and I am a fourth-year fighter." The other party introduced himself.

"Hello senior, my name is Lu Zhao, a first grader." Lu Zhao replied quickly.

"It's the first time the school year is coming to an end." Zong Yuan said with a bit of teasing in his tone, "The exam is only a week away, so I'm cramming when I come here, and I hope the exam goes well."

"No, it's because I'm too busy studying and have no time." Lu Zhao tried to explain, "I don't believe that either. The exam has nothing to do with visiting."

"Actually, it is related." Zong Yuan said with a smile: "Visiting the memorial hall for the first time can add points to the history of imperial wars."

"Really?" Lu Zhao really didn't know this.

"Of course, it's not a secret anymore. You can find it on the Xingwang Academy forum, but the extra points have little effect. The results mainly depend on the exam, so the exam can't be relaxed." Zong Yuan added.

"I understand." Lu Zhao nodded seriously.

Zong Yuan then introduced Marshal Liao's life to Lu Zhao, "Actually, if a person wants to become a hero, the most important thing is not his record, but his belief. Marshal Liao is a great strategist and strategist. At the most critical moment, he almost reversed the situation of the Battle of Righeim by himself. In the ten years since then, he has been sticking to the front line against the Zerg until he died for his country. The empire has been at peace for a hundred years, Liao The Marshal deserves credit."

Zong Yuan looked at the Transcendent 2 starfighter with his hands behind his back, heaved a long sigh, and then turned around, "Let's go, I'll show you something else."
