The Man Disgusted by Death

The Righeim star field, the space-class star destroyer Tides, the wartime headquarters of the Third Imperial Army.

Ji Heng walked out of the legion meeting room and saw his cousin Liao Qize walking towards him.

"Major." Liao Qize saluted.

"Lieutenant." Ji Heng returned the salute.

Liao Qize raised his chin to signal for an excuse to speak, and Ji Heng followed him into an office on the other side of the corridor.

"What's wrong?" Ji Heng asked.

After closing the door, Liao Qize said mysteriously: "Today I went to the Personnel Assignment Management Department to apply for a few mechanics. You also know that these professionals are extremely scarce now, and our maintenance team has never been full."

"Ok?"

"Then I saw this." Liao Qize handed over a document in his hand.

That's a profile.

Ji Heng stretched out his hand, and when he saw the photo on the file, his fingers stopped halfway.

Liao Qize asked again: "This Lu Zhao...do you know him?"

Ji Heng's fingers clenched into fists, and then quickly retracted.

Looking at his cousin's reaction, Liao Qize was sure that his judgment was correct, this Lu Zhao really had a great influence on his cousin.

As a graduate of the Xingyun command department, Ji Heng was awarded the rank of captain as soon as he joined the army, but he did not choose to work in the army's staff department, but joined the front-line mech unit.Two years later, Ji Heng was promoted to major for his bravery in the battle to recapture Fort Righeim.

Liao Qize saw Ji Heng's performance in that battle, and he was astonishing and shocked. At that time, Ji Heng seemed to have nothing but fighting in his eyes, even including himself.

So Liao Qize wanted to find something for Ji Heng, something that would make Ji Heng care about his life, so he obtained Lu Zhao's personnel information.

With a low sigh, Liao Qi Ze said: "Brother, it's a time of war and life is impermanent. It's better to keep the people you care about by your side and watch them for yourself."

Hearing this, Ji Heng looked at Liao Qize, but did not speak, but his breathing became heavier.

Liao Qize continued: "If you don't want it, I'll let him go to the Fourth Fleet. Our war zone is separated from yours by the entire Righeim."

The distance of a Righeim nebula is not too far for the accelerating ship, but Ji Heng knows that if he belongs to a different fleet, he and Lu Zhao will never meet again.

Yes, life is impermanent, if one day he dies on the battlefield... I wonder if he can get a tear from Lu Zhao?

Although he had already sworn that he would never appear in front of Lu Zhao, but at this time Ji Heng had a rather strange idea, that is, he must die where Lu Zhao can see him.

In the end, even though it was completely different from Liao Qize's starting point, Ji Heng still accepted the document.

Liao Qize, who didn't know that his cousin was already thinking about various ways to die, nodded in satisfaction, "He has arrived, today you just take him away."

"Today?" Ji Heng tightened his grip on the document. Over the past three years, his longing has not stopped for a moment, but he is completely unprepared for meeting him.

Lu Zhao was notified, and he was sent to the logistics maintenance team of the Mecha Independent Squadron of the First Fleet of the Third Imperial Army.

The staff of the Personnel Allocation Management Department told him that he would arrive on the transport ship "Flying Shuttle" at position 04 in the fifth section of the flight deck within an hour, and that ship would send him to his unit.

It took Lu Zhao nearly 10 minutes to find the Fraser. It was a small transport ship with the landing deck lowered, and a young captain was standing below talking to the ground crew.

Lu Zhao waited for a while, and when the ground crew left, he stood at attention and saluted: "Report sir, the mechanic Lu Zhao is here to report."

"Are you a mechanic?" The captain looked Lu Zhao up and down.

"Yes."

"That's right, we're short of people." The captain smiled, "My name is Andrew, and I'm the logistics manager of the squadron. You board the ship first, and we can set off when the squadron leader arrives."

Lu Zhao boarded the spaceship.

The Flying Shuttle is a small cargo spaceship with only four seats in the cabin, and there is no one inside at the moment.Lu Zhao looked around, fixed his traveling bag on the luggage rack, and then found a seat by the side to sit down.

After a few minutes, Lu Zhao heard Andrew's voice calling "captain", so he immediately stood up and turned around.

A tall man walked in, dressed in a black Imperial Army uniform, with sharp and vigorous steps, straight eyebrows, and cold eyes.

Lu Zhao's heart tightened suddenly. He knew that Ji Heng was also in the Third Army, but he didn't expect that they would meet so soon.

When the distance between the two was a few meters, Ji Heng stopped.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds, and Andrew, who was walking behind, felt a little strange. He took the initiative to introduce, "Captain, this is the new mechanic Lu Zhao."

At this time, Lu Zhao also noticed his gaffe, and immediately raised his hands in salute: "Major."

"Yeah." Ji Heng nodded lightly, and then went straight to the cockpit.

Lu Zhao's hand was still raised, and his eyes followed Ji Heng's figure to the cockpit door.

Andrew came over. It was the first time he saw Ji Heng being so indifferent to newcomers, so he comforted Lu Zhao and said, "Our captain is pretty good, maybe he encountered some troubles at the legion meeting today."

"Oh." Lu Zhao put down his hand, "It's okay." Maybe...the other party doesn't want to see him.

"You sit here, the spaceship is about to leave." Andrew said again.

"Yes, sir."

"You don't have to, just call me by my name." Andrew smiled kindly, "I'm going to enter the cockpit. The captain and I were the only two on board, so we are also part-time pilots."

Seeing that Lu Zhao was seated, Andrew stepped into the cockpit with ease. Finally, a qualified mechanic came. Why did the captain have such an attitude? I have never seen him so arrogant before.Thinking of those guys in the mecha team clamoring for exclusive mechanics all day long, Andrew's head grew dizzy.

During the voyage, Andrew came out and gave Lu Zhao two packs of nutritional supplements, and then walked around by the way, but Ji Heng never showed up.

Lu Zhao looked down at the nutrient in his hand. It had been a long time since today's breakfast, but he still had no appetite, his heart was so stuffed up that he couldn't control it, and his thoughts would go to the reunion just now.

When seeing Ji Heng for the first time, Lu Zhao wondered if this was arranged by the other party, but Ji Heng's reaction was completely different. Ji Heng's attitude towards him was like a stranger, no, more than a stranger Man is worse, as if he were nothing worth mentioning.

It turned out that this is the feeling of being ignored.

The shuttle transport ship entered Anduin's atmosphere.

Andain is the closest habitable planet to Righeim, and it was also the first human homeland that fell when the war broke out.After taking back Fort Righeim, the Third Army will take back Andain as its next goal.At present, the large-scale frontal battle is over. The imperial army has destroyed the main ship of the Zerg and blocked the adjacent star field. All that is left is to wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

The First Fleet established a military base in Andain and began to deploy ground operations.Today, there are two battleship formations, three mechanized infantry brigades, two near-earth flight squadrons and one independent mecha squadron, plus logistics personnel, the total number exceeds [-], so the base size is quite considerable.

Although there is no porthole in the cabin, Lu Zhao cannot see the outside situation, but according to the change of gravity after entering the atmosphere, it can be judged that the spacecraft is about to land.

After the spaceship stopped, Lu Zhao stuffed the two packs of nutritional supplements into his luggage.

The landing deck opened, and Andrew came out of the cab first, "Lu Zhao, come here, I'll find someone to take you to the logistics office of the base to go through the formalities."

Lu Zhao took his luggage and followed Andrew off the ship. There were already ground robots on the tarmac starting to load and unload the cargo on the spaceship.Andrew asked the robot for a hover car, and led Lu Zhao to sit on it.

The suspension vehicle drove towards the ground support center in the distance, and Andrew turned on the communicator again, "Hey, you send someone to the ground support center to send the new comrades to the base headquarters to go through formalities...I know you are resting today...not beauties, but It's a mechanic...well, that's good." Andrew hung up the phone and said to Lu Zhao: "The base is huge, and you may not be familiar with it at first, so I'll ask someone to show you the way."

Generally, only beauties can enjoy this kind of treatment, but now there is a shortage of mechanics at the base, and Andrew is worried that Lu Zhao will be cut off by other departments when he goes through the formalities alone, because Lu Zhao's resume says that he has all but one There is a level A license for mecha maintenance, a level A license for flying car maintenance, and a level B license for ship maintenance. There is no department that does not want such talents.

When they arrived at the ground support center, Andrew went to go through the spaceship landing procedures, while Lu Zhao waited for someone to pick him up at Gate No. [-].

A few minutes later, a speeding speeding car stopped at the door, and a big male soldier with a crew cut jumped out of the car. He looked around and then fixed his eyes on Lu Zhao.

"Are you the new mechanic?" the big man asked.

Lu Zhao knew that this was the person Andrew arranged, so he nodded, "I am."

"Hello! Hello!" The big man immediately smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "I am Thomas from the Mecha Squadron, a first-class mecha pilot, graduated from the Julian Mecha Academy, and once won the Imperial Silver Medal, Two legion awards, 24 years old, healthy, art-loving, without any bad habits."

This complicated and weird self-introduction baffled Lu Zhao, so he could only answer: "Hi, my name is Lu Zhao, and I am a mechanic."

"Your name is Lu Zhao? It's a nice name." Thomas laughed harder, and he rubbed his hands with a look of joy, "Ah, let me help you with your luggage."

Lu Zhao: "No, thank you."

Thomas went to open the door in a jerk, and after the two got into the car, he said again: "Lu Zhao, you are very good. I heard that the qualification of a mechanic is very difficult."

"Actually——" Lu Zhao didn't know how to explain it. The pass rate of the machinist exam for the students of the Nebula Mechanics Department is relatively high. After finishing the sixth grade and starting the exam, more than half of them pass the exam for the first time.Lu Zhao also only passed the exam half a year earlier than most of his classmates, and he was not at the level of a genius or a master.However, I heard that in some ordinary colleges, the pass rate of mechanics is really not ideal.

"Actually what?" Thomas turned his head and stared at Lu Zhao eagerly while driving, "Ah, Lu Zhao, you must be very young, can I call you Xiao Zhao?"

Xiao Zhao is what his family calls Lu Zhao, and no one else has used it before, so he sternly refused, "No, I'm 25 this year, older than you."

"Ah, I can't tell you're 25." Thomas wasn't discouraged, and continued to get close, "Then we're about the same age, no wonder I thought you hit it off at first glance."
