The Man Disgusted by Death

When he arrived at the base headquarters, Lu Zhao seemed to understand why Thomas was so enthusiastic about him.

The personnel director said to Lu Zhao, "The maintenance department of the base is just short of people like you." Thomas told around like a hen guarding its cubs, "This is our mechanic, a mechanic belonging to the Mech Squadron." , will most likely become my personal mechanic..."

After completing the formalities, Thomas proposed to take Lu Zhao to eat, and Lu Zhao was indeed a little hungry at this time.

"Our cafeteria tastes good, you'll know when you go there." Thomas told Lu Zhao, "The aunt in charge of the restaurant likes me the most. She always leaves good things for me, and I will give you half of it in the future."

Thomas kept his word, and when the two came to the restaurant 10 minutes later, he brought Lu Zhao a large plate of barbecue.

"I can't eat that much," Lu Zhao said.

"It's okay, I'll help you if you can't finish eating." Thomas said very enthusiastically.

In the end, most of the plate of roast meat went into Thomas' stomach, and he expressed worry that Lu Zhao ate too little.

Lu Zhao waited for Thomas to finish eating, and asked him where to find the person in charge of the maintenance team.

"Let me take you to the dormitory. Will said that you can rest first today. By the way, Will is the leader of the maintenance team. He is very nice." Thomas stood up and wanted to carry Lu Zhao's luggage again. Was rejected by Lu Zhao.

The mecha squadron has its own barracks and mecha warehouse, not too far from the base headquarters, and it takes only a few minutes to drive by speeding car.Thomas led Lu Zhao to the dormitory. Because it was a temporary base, the dormitory was also built in a modular way, with each person having a standard single room.

After helping Lu Zhao find the room, Thomas told him some base rules before leaving.

Lu Zhao entered the dormitory, which was a very cramped small room with only one bed, across the aisle, opposite to a row of cabinets built into the wall.

After packing up his luggage, Lu Zhao took off his bracelet and set the alarm clock before lying down on the bed.

Now is wartime, the entire base is operating around the clock, and the logistics staff are only in shifts, there is no difference between day and night. Lu Zhao wants to go to work when the next shift starts five hours later, so he needs to hurry up and sleep Sleep.

But an hour later he was still not asleep.

Get up and find your portable smart brain, Lu Zhao uses it to play the new album of Journey to Deep Space.After the war broke out, Deep Space Journey ended their tour ahead of schedule. They created many new songs, changing from the ethereal and ethereal style of the past. Some of the music was passionate and majestic, some heavy and sad, some of the cruelty of war, and some The unyielding tragedy of human beings, the widely circulated heroic requiem is one of them.

Lu Zhao turned off the lights and waited for the music to play in the quiet darkness. Suddenly, a picture of Ji Heng passing by him on the shuttle today appeared in front of his eyes.

Lu Zhao felt a little sad as his fingers meaninglessly grabbed the bed sheet under him, but he felt that he shouldn't be like this.After all, when Ji Heng said he liked him, he refused. After such a long time, he can't be so cheeky as to think that he will stay where he is forever.

In fact, Lu Zhao has no idea why Ji Heng fell in love with him back then. He felt that he was very ordinary in all aspects, and he rarely had a good look towards Ji Heng. The process of getting along was mostly hypocritical and perfunctory.Such a self is not worthy of being liked.

So now, it just seems like things are back to normal.

Don't think about it, Lu Zhao.

Turning sideways and burying his face in the pillow, Lu Zhao said to himself, don't think about it... that's all in the past, he didn't cherish it when it was easy to get, and now, he probably won't get it forever.

So, don't think about it, Lu Zhao, what has been lost will never come back.

***

A few hours later, Lu Zhao, who was still deprived of sleep, went out and found Will, the leader of the maintenance team, in the squadron's armor garage.

Will is a tall, thin man in his thirties, with dark skin and a serious slanted eyebrow. He is very kind. He introduced the situation of the mecha squadron to Lu Zhao.

"Our squadron has three mecha teams, with a total of 98 mechas of various types, but the maintenance team has only seven mechanics. The manpower is very tight. Generally, they can only do routine maintenance and minor repairs. If the mechas are seriously damaged, they can only Sent to the Legion repair shop. By the way, I saw that your resume says that you have expertise in anti-matter engines?"

After the war started, Master Mu donated the patent for the antimatter engine for the mecha, so more and more mechas are equipped with this kind of engine. Lu Zhao has the most basic information given by his uncle, so he has an advantage in this regard.

"Well, I have studied it." Lu Zhao admitted.

"That's good." Will nodded, "A few mechas in our team are equipped with anti-matter engines, and you can take care of them in the future." Will showed Lu Zhao a tour of the mecha library, "Today the second team is going out. task, so our work is mainly to repair the mechs of the first team and prepare for the battle of the third team tomorrow."

After introducing Lu Zhao to two mechanics who were doing maintenance work, Will and Lu Zhao walked to the end of the mecha warehouse.

"Look, this is the car of our squadron leader, Major Ji Heng. The Avenger was manufactured more than 20 years ago, but it has been improved. It is said to be the first mecha equipped with an anti-matter engine." Will pointed to a mecha in front of him. explain.

Lu Zhao raised his head and stared at the mecha bewilderedly.

Long time no see, the last time was in the ancient galaxy, when he saw the Avengers rushing through the explosion wreckage again and again to save himself through the porthole of the rescue cabin...

"Are you familiar with this model of mecha?" Will asked.

"I have been in touch." Lu Zhao replied.

"Then you should do maintenance for the Avengers first, the major will use it tomorrow."

"it is good."

Will gave Lu Zhao the intellectual brain permission, so that Lu Zhao could mobilize the robots in the mecha library to help, and Will stood in the distance with his hands behind his back, which meant to test Lu Zhao's working ability.

After Lu Zhao is familiar with the equipment, he will start working. Will is very satisfied with Lu Zhao's current performance, with clear organization and skilled movements. It seems that he has really touched it.

When Ji Heng walked over, he saw that Lu Zhao was about to board the Avengers. Although he had changed into the blue and black work clothes of the base and was from the back, Ji Heng could still tell that it was Lu Zhao at a glance.

He looks as if he has lost weight.

On the Feishuo, Ji Heng didn't dare to look at Lu Zhao's face, but he had revisited the photos on that document countless times.Three years later, Lu Zhao's appearance has also undergone some changes, his cheeks have become thinner, his childish innocence has disappeared, and his clear eyes seem to be filled with endless melancholy and sadness.

In the past three years, Ji Heng did not take the initiative to pay attention to Lu Zhao's situation. Apart from keeping his promise, more importantly, he was afraid that once the gate of missing was opened, this feeling would be out of his control.

The fact is also the same, after Liao Qize handed him Lu Zhao's file, Ji Heng's calmness and self-control were completely defeated. He broke his original promise and kept Lu Zhao by his side.

It has been three years, and the attraction of this person to him has not diminished at all. Ji Heng can't help but caress his chest. Every time he sees Lu Zhao, there will be some unreasonable pain in the position of his heart.

The scene in front of me seemed familiar. Yes, three years ago, they still maintained a superficial harmony, and Lu Zhao also defended the Avengers.The Avenger is probably the only connection between him and Lu Zhao... Oops!Ji Heng suddenly realized that Lu Zhao could not be allowed to activate the mecha brain, "No—" He suddenly raised his voice and strode over, "Wait!"

Lu Zhao turned his head and saw that it was Ji Heng, he raised his hand in a salute awkwardly: "Major."

"What are you doing?"

"The team leader asked me to do maintenance for the Avengers."

"No, don't touch it!" Ji Heng said.

Lu Zhao was still a little nervous and didn't dare to look directly at Ji Heng, but now he couldn't help but stare at Ji Heng with wide eyes.

After Ji Heng said this, he also realized that his tone was too strong, and he didn't know how to change it. He simply looked at Will next to him, "You will be responsible for the maintenance of the Avengers in the future."

"Ah?" Will was a little surprised. Although he has always done more maintenance of the Avengers, there was no rule that other people could not touch them. But Ji Heng said so, so he had to agree first, "Yes, I Got it." Will read Lu Zhao's resume, and remembered that Lu Zhao also graduated from Xingyun Military Academy, and he and Ji Heng are still alumni, who would have thought that Ji Heng would be so defensive.

When Ji Heng was far away, Will said to Lu Zhao with a little embarrassment: "The major loves his mecha too much, uh, then you can go to maintain the Thunder III next to it."

"Okay." Lu Zhao agreed softly, and he left the Avengers and walked to another mech.

Just now Ji Heng's sentence "Don't touch" hurt his heart very much. He is very familiar with the Avengers, and Ji Heng knows it, so just now he just really didn't want him to touch the Avengers...not even allowed to touch them Yet?

The tip of Lu Zhao's nose was sore, he took a deep breath and held back the tears in the corners of his eyes with difficulty.

Most of the mechas in the squadron are land mechas. After all, the Zerg can't fly. For ground combat, the land mechas are enough. There are twelve flying mechas in total, and three more have been assembled besides the Avengers. Antimatter engines are the main force of the team, and the Thunder III that Lu Zhao needs to maintain next is one of them.

Thunder III is a heavy-duty mecha produced by Curtis Mechanical Engineering Company in 2777. It is equipped with a hand-held laser cannon and a missile launcher. It has very powerful firepower and is known as a flying mobile turret.The pilot of this mecha is the big Thomas. On the way to pick up Lu Zhao, he chattered many times about how powerful his little Lei is.

Lu Zhao looked at the Thunder Mech in front of him, but he was thinking of the Avengers, but he finally sorted out his emotions and began to concentrate on his work.

Will felt that Lu Zhao was really reliable, so he went to do maintenance for the Avengers himself.After connecting to the brain of the Avengers mecha, Will remembered why he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first met Lu Zhao. It turned out that Lu Zhao’s voice was very similar to the voice of the brain of the Avengers, but the voice of the brain was heard. It looks younger and more lively, but it may be a coincidence.
