Deep Space Knight

☆、Chapter 12

The long-awaited trip has finally come true.

But Rhodes wanted to die.

The reason why he wanted to die was that he was actually taken into the officers' boxes.

The structure of the long-distance passenger shuttle is very similar to that of a soft sleeper on a train. It is a closed small box with four berths in total.

Besides Sheng Rui, he also had to sleep with Xue Yuan and Qi Han.

Forget about Xue Yuan, apart from being extremely narcissistic, this guy is not difficult to get along with.

But that Qi Han!Just seeing that expressionless face makes people feel a deep chill from the bottom of their hearts!

It takes 12 hours to fly from "Phoenix [-]" space city to "Phoenix [-]"!

Speaking of Qi Han, Rhodes was miserable.

It is said that he finished shopping for snacks that day and returned to the dormitory excitedly.As soon as the door is closed, the first thing to do is to ask what happened just now.

"The Governor is here in person!" He slammed his fist on Sheng Rui's shoulder, "What earth-shattering thing did you kid do? Come, come, don't hide it, Master Luo will keep it a secret for you!"

Sheng Rui was extremely solemn: "I can't disclose the details, but I will be a person with status from now on. ——Come on, I'll let you be the first to hug my thigh. If you miss today, you'll have to wait in line." A voluptuous leg sticks out from under the quilt.

Although Rhodes is big, he is not a person without measure.Seeing what Sheng Rui said, he knew he had something to hide.In this era, there are many people with secrets, and everyone does not spy on each other and lives in peace with each other.

So he took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic: "Oh! I knew my eyesight was not bad, and I knew that you are not an ordinary person! Firm | Thighs, here I come!"

Just as he was about to pounce, the collar on the back of his neck suddenly tightened, and a force pulled him back.The force was not heavy, but it still made him unable to move. He almost moved a meter away out of thin air without his feet touching the ground.

Just as he was wondering if Sheng Rui had supernatural powers, he heard a quiet voice behind him: "Sorry, he still needs to recuperate, please don't act too violently towards him for now."

The voice was very familiar. Looking back, Rhodes' face collapsed to the floor with a bang.

He didn't realize at all that there was a third person in this room all the time.

A person whose sense of existence is extremely weak, but you dare not pretend that he does not exist.

"Why, why is he still here?!" Rhodes couldn't speak smoothly, "Didn't the Governor leave?"

Qi Han was very polite: "The governor has ordered that from today onwards, I will personally protect his safety."

That night, Rhodes spent one of the few sleepless nights in his life.

The cause of the insomnia was not Qi Han himself.Qi Han's sense of existence is indeed too weak, like a shadow sticking to the corner of the wall, it will be easily forgotten.

But there is one thing that cannot be easily forgotten——

"Your, yours," Rhodes stammered and gestured at his waist, "really, really can't be dismantled, dismantled? In case, if something goes wrong..." He didn't want to sleep until midnight when his forehead suddenly A hole was opened.

"Please don't worry, the insurance is locked." Qi Han was still polite, "The gun must not leave the body, this is a requirement of my work, please forgive me."

Rhodes dare to say anything?

He had no choice but to stay still all night anxiously, afraid that if he made any movement, he would be regarded as a suspicious target by Qi Han and "bang bang" away.While lamenting in my heart: Holding the thigh is really not an easy task, it requires a strong psychological quality~~~

It's not that he hasn't thought about changing dormitories, but firstly, he is reluctant to part with the friendship he just established with Sheng Rui, and secondly, he is not stupid, knowing that under the current situation, he might not easily approve his transfer.

No way, bear with it.

I thought that I might be able to relax during the trip, but it turns out...

Rhodes wiped away bitter tears and took a bite of the twist candy.

The shuttle sailed silently, Sheng Rui lay on the bunk, quietly lost in thought.

The day before he set off to travel, he agreed to give up the ownership of the batch of antimatter, and also completed all the handover procedures.

The fleet gave him generous compensation, and he could spend his life in abundance without worrying about his personal safety.

This trip was actually a farewell for him.After returning, he resigned.The experience of a few days is enough to make him understand that even the corporate army of the space age is not a suitable place for him to live and work.

but……

I'm so sorry.

Luo Luo, Xue Yuan, Qi Han.

Each has not been together for a long time, and each is extraordinary.Friendship in adversity, I'm afraid it will never be repeated in this life.

Xue Yuan lay opposite Sheng Rui, half naked, looking at the screen floating above his head.A strand of long golden hair wrapped around her muscular arms and hung down from the edge of the bed, swaying gently in the wind of the air conditioner.

Rhodes was sitting on Xue Yuan's lower bunk, wearing a pair of big underpants, with one foot on the edge of the bed, eating a twisty candy in a cucumber-chewing posture.He can always conjure all kinds of snacks from nowhere.

Qi Han slept directly under Sheng Rui, and Sheng Rui couldn't see him.Only the faint scent of narcissus occasionally seeps through, like a tiny tentacles, making people want to look around.

What would he be doing down there, and what was he thinking?

From now on, will my life still be entangled with him?

……

Thinking of this, Sheng Rui slowly fell asleep.

The "Four Seasons Expo Park" is built in the Phoenix [-] space city and is the most famous man-made scenic spot in the entire fleet.

The change of seasons is the most common natural phenomenon for people on earth.But for the space race, it was an incredible miracle.Although it is difficult to replicate the subtle seasonal changes, it is possible to create a scene of four seasons for nostalgia, so there is this Expo Park.

Here you can not only enjoy the flowers and scenery, but also a good place for leisure and entertainment.There are a lot of snacks in the garden, both Chinese and Western. The word board of "Mulian jelly" is next to the signboard of "Gelato", and the stall of Fenyuer is next to the cheese fondue restaurant.

Street performers dressed up in various colors passed by a group of aristocratic clowns with complicated palace skirts and pastel faces, followed by a group of ancient Roman gladiators with scarlet cloaks and shiny shields, followed by a group of ladies in ancient costumes with jingle rings and light shirts and wide sleeves.

The Spring Garden has the most beautiful scenery and the most tourists.The flowers are blooming like a brocade, and the water color is hazy.

Sheng Rui walked along with everyone, and Qi Han walked beside him.The two people occasionally look at each other across the flowers, without speaking to each other.

Suddenly, a girl's sweet and charming voice floated in the wind:

"I like peonies and narcissus. It is said in "Vase History Monthly Table" that peony is the leader of March Flower. In "Vase Flower Spectrum", peony, narcissus, orchid, and plum are all listed as one rank and nine lives."

Sheng Rui looked in the direction and saw a pretty girl talking to a group of companions.

"Flowers are a perfect match if they are viewed together with a man. You see, the original meaning of the word 'Ying' is flower, and the idiom has 'Luoying Colorful', and the names of flowers and trees include Lanying, Baiying, Ziyunying, Peony There is a variety called 'Diexiangying'. 'Xiong' means a man. Taken together, a 'hero' is a man like a flower."

"Didn't Qian Zhongshu, the old man, say that among animals, the males make themselves beautiful to attract the females. I think it should be the same for human beings. A man should be both strong and beautiful."

She said happily, but she didn't know that there was a beautiful but very sick man standing not far away.

Afraid of Sheng Rui's embarrassment, Xue Yuan smiled and interrupted to change the atmosphere: "Oh, Cai Fan, you're praising me in public again. But I'm not interested in seducing others, I just want to seduce myself in front of the mirror."

Chi Caifan is Xue Yuan's childhood friend.The fathers of the two belong to the high-level fleet, and the two families live very close to each other, and they have known each other since childhood.

Turning around and seeing it was him, Chi Caifan threw a sharp glance at him: "There must be a limit to narcissism. In such a large audience, you--" Before finishing speaking, a tall figure suddenly caught in the corner of his eyes, and his heart suddenly fell into place. Missed a beat.

In her memory, Qi Han never participated in group activities, why did he come this time?

At this moment, he was standing under a peach blossom tree, with peach blossoms reflected in his pupils.The smoky water red falls in the emerald blue color, like the sunset shining in the deep pool.

Spring is indeed a joyful season, and even his eyes, which are always calm, are full of joy.

However, the place where he is is still cool and cool despite the peach blossoms that are in full bloom.There is only a thin wind, and a wisp of sparse and faint fragrance is secretly handed over.

"Fool!" She was in a daze, and her female companion slapped her and winked eagerly: "Hurry up and think of a way to get him to look over!"

Chi Caifan suddenly came back to his senses, and heard the female companions sniggering in a low voice: "When I saw him, I was completely insane!"

—Dead women!I'll settle accounts with you later!

Cursing in embarrassment and annoyance in her heart, Chi Caifan regained her composure a little, and her singing began leisurely, it was a soft folk song in Wu dialect:

"I saw wild flowers blooming across the river, and I sent my love brother to listen to me picking flowers. Sister Dao Lang, you come to pick flowers, but little Anunu wanted to catch flowers and thank you, so I will never teach you to pick them in vain."

The pearl throat is clear and clear, and the sound changes like silk.

After the song was over, a group of young boys gathered around, holding bouquets of flowers and courting her: "I picked the flowers for you, how do you thank us?"

Chi Caifan didn't care about them, she hurriedly looked through the bustle in front of her and cast her eyes on the tree, but her heart suddenly lost - the figure under the peach blossoms disappeared.

***

When the people in the company went to listen to Chi Caifan's singing, Sheng Rui quietly left the team and came to the adjacent Winter Garden.

The atmosphere here is very different from the other gardens. There are few tourists, and it is quiet and cold.There are several small red-roofed brick buildings lined up in the white snow, and there is a light in the window, illuminating the furry snow.

Sheng Rui didn't like winter at first, but at this moment, only the cleanliness here suits his mood best.

Winter quilts are always more attractive than summer ones.The warmth in the cold is truly nostalgic.

He thought that he was attached to Qi Han.

His weak body was afraid of the cold, and it didn't take long for Sheng Rui to lower his head and cough.

Qi Han lit the fireplace in the room and found another blanket to wrap him up.

"Thanks." Sheng Rui wrapped the blanket tightly and sat down by the window.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Qi Han asked for the first time, with a calm tone.

"I, I want to find a comfortable place to live." Sheng Rui was still smiling, "Eat, eat, sleep, and bask in the sun every day, and spend the rest of my life like this."

He was not sure what the governor meant when he said "time is running out", but the time God left for him may really be running out.

Qi Han looked at Luoxue on the balcony, and said for a long time: "I don't think you seem to have seriously thought about yourself."

"Ah, this is my problem." The smile on Sheng Rui's face gradually faded, "I have been living in my own fantasy since a long time ago, and I have no interest in the current life." He shook his head and smiled lightly. . "It's better to say that I've been simulating life and never really put myself into it. For me, the future is more realistic than the present."

"Then, are you satisfied with this future?" Qi Han still didn't look at him, and asked a question without ups and downs.

"Not very satisfied." Sheng Rui sighed, "It's not what I imagined. However, maybe I can start to learn to accept the reality. I've had a dream for a long time, and now it's probably time to wake up and live a good life .”

Silence fell again.The fire in the fireplace crackled and danced on the brass railing.

"Hey," Sheng Rui said suddenly, "Don't be ridiculous when you say it, I always feel that this scene is very familiar, as if I experienced it somewhere a long time ago."

"what?"

"Yeah." Sheng Rui smiled, "That's how it is now, I'll sit with you and look at Xue."

Qi Han didn't speak, imagining the snow on the earth, imagining the world that no longer existed before he was born.

Grandpa said that if people are destined to meet each other, even if they are separated by time and space, even if they have missed each other, they will eventually be implicated together.

He believed this and was very happy.

Due to his shy and withdrawn personality, he couldn't express some thoughts.For example, a sentence of thanks a century late, such as the sentence "I have been looking for you for a long time".

Therefore, it can only be expressed with silent protection.

You were born before I was born, and I was not old when you were born.

Light and shadow overlapped one after another, and somewhere in an unknown time and space, they were subtly intertwined.

It was cold after sitting by the window for a long time, Sheng Rui lowered his head and coughed gently.

Qi Han gathered the blanket for him, "Go inside."

Sheng Rui gently grasped his fingertips.The temperature of Qi Han's hands is always just right, it feels cool to the touch in the heat, and warm in the cold.

Qi Han struggled for a while, then let him hold it, and said again: "Go inside."

The author has something to say:

☆、Micro episode

The author has something to say: I would like to explain to everyone that today's chapter should have been two miniature episodes, explaining some of the protagonist's history from the perspective of Sheng Rui and Qi Han, and some things that are not suitable for the main text. Inner acitivity.But the handicapped author only had time to code out Sheng Rui's part, and Qi Han's part will be added later_(:3」∠)_

It is an attempt to write this kind of prose-like form, and it is not necessarily good. Please give more comments and help me keep improving~~(づ￣3￣)づ

I sat in a room where I could see the falling snow, and the fire in the fireplace flickered and danced over the brass railing.

The knight-like man was beside me, quietly.

I am a person who is very close to death.

In other words, I live in the assumption that "I will not die tomorrow" every day.

Ordinary people may think that such a life is unbearable.but it is not the truth.

Young people don't expect to get sick, and strong people don't expect to die.However, the elderly and the sick are often not shy about talking about death.

Remembering that you are mortal will make many difficult situations in the present easier to bear.

When I was a student, I enjoyed the privilege of withdrawing from school at any time.

As long as I want, I can pick up my schoolbag and walk out of the classroom at any minute of any class.

No matter whether there are quizzes in class or the principal attends the lectures, I can come and go freely, and no one will stop me.

——If you want to quit, you can do it at any time.

With this in mind, I kept a full attendance record for the whole semester and never left early once.

Yes.

If you want to quit, you can do so at any time.

That being the case, why not hold on a little longer and see what kind of limit you can bear.

This is the secret of my life to this day.

But it is precisely because of this that there is an elusive gap between me and real life.

A person who is ready to quit the game at any time can hardly experience the most hearty and smooth joy in the game, and can only be a cowardly bystander.

I, like others, walked into school and into the family.

Like others, I walked into the neon and lamp shadows of the dark night, into the dawn and twilight of the day.

I do most of the things they do, but I'm not like them.

They are living, but I am just imitating.

Until I met someone who was very similar to me.

There is a dead air in this person.

Not that he brings death.Instead, this person always looks like he is neither sad nor happy.When I saw him, my heart was light and quiet.

I used to have this feeling only when I saw the reclining Buddha.

The reclining Buddha is a statue of the Buddha when he died. In common terms, it is the appearance of death.But people will not feel afraid in front of such a death, they will only feel the tranquility without sadness or joy.

Not afraid of death, nor love of life.

No pain, no joy.

I admit, I'm curious about him.What did he go through to become what he is now?

He is not a sick person like me.He's strong, strong enough to make me jealous.

I am nostalgic for his strength, but also hate this nostalgia.This is the almost instinctive dependence of the weak on the strong, and it is something I want to get rid of all my life.

But I... am obsessed again.

To me, he is like a knight on a pilgrimage.

The three major knight orders in the Middle Ages were founded with the idea of ​​protecting and caring for the weak and injured who came to pilgrimage.

Knights are like monks, following the rules and regulations of keeping chastity and poverty, and welcoming the people of God who come and go on the pilgrimage road with their swords.

In my imagination, the so-called knights are such people: they are like ferrymen, escorting all kinds of pilgrims on their respective journeys, and then turn around and leave, regardless of God's will and human affairs.

I sat in a room where I could see the falling snow, and the fire in the fireplace flickered and danced over the brass railing.

The knight-like man was beside me, quietly.

At this moment, the world suddenly has nothing to do with me.In the dark, I saw a pilgrimage road leading to a distant place that I didn't know.

I want to ask him, if I go on this road, to that place where I don't know where, will you escort me?

At the end of that road, where will you go and where will I end up?

☆、Chapter 14

The singing and dancing of "Phoenix [-]" did not relieve the fleet executives of "Phoenix [-]".

After Xia Changying issued an ultimatum that day, "Mianji" really launched a general attack on "Suzaku".

The scale of Suzaku is much smaller than that of Phoenix, with only one space city.

The images sent back by the satellites showed that Mianji activated six space-based kinetic energy weapons "God's Rod" and inserted them directly into Suzaku's control center, paralyzing the entire city's automatic defense system.Immediately afterwards, a large number of armored infantry assault groups descended from the sky and rushed to Suzaku's ground administrative center.Almost without any resistance, they captured the space city in one fell swoop.

From launching the space-based weapon to the end of the siege, the whole process took 59 minutes.

The sights in the city are all miserable for those who see them.

During the Warring States Period, it took Qin Shihuang a year to destroy Korea.

During World War II, Germany occupied Poland for a month.

Now, it took an hour to kill the Suzaku, relying only on the most primitive energy—kinetic energy.

The harsh facts are before everyone's eyes: the space war is incomparable to any war in the earth age.

However, before it had time to grieve for Suzaku's victims, "Phoenix" found out in horror that "Dian Zhi" had no intention of letting go.

The technical officer quickly calculated that another batch of in-orbit satellites carrying the "God's Rod" was quietly changing orbit.The targets locked by them are the four space cities of "Phoenix"!

"Xia Changying!" The Governor's fists trembled slightly with anger, "We have declared neutrality, and we even transferred the fleet away from the spaceport! Are you breaking the contract by doing this now?!"

"Break the contract?" Xia Changying's tone on the light screen trembled slightly, as if he was trying to hold back the laughter that was about to blurt out, "Governor Pei, are you joking? Obedience to the contract is based on equality between the two parties." Come on, what will Phoenix do to treat me?" His eyes suddenly turned cold, "Weak people are not qualified to negotiate terms."

"You..." The Governor's face was ashen, "We can still talk..."

"Governor Pei, you should thank me." Xia Changying suddenly turned serious, "You are much luckier than Suzaku, and you don't have to suffer the loss of the entire fleet. Don't worry, I will collect all the Phoenix Fleet for my use. Your warships, It’s much better than Suzaku’s junk equipment. Hahahaha!”

"you--!"

Laughing loudly, Xia Changying's face suddenly disappeared.Just like last time, he didn't give the other party a chance to say a word at all.

Immediately, the technical department fell into unprecedented chaos.

"Communication interference! Communication interference!"

"Call Phoenix Two! Call Phoenix Two!"

"Phoenix [-]! Phoenix [-]! Please answer!!"

"You are locked! You are locked! Change track now!! Change track now!!!"

However, such a cry can no longer be passed on to people far away.

***

During the daytime, the Garden of Spring dominates the style.After nightfall, it is the turn of the summer garden to take full advantage of it.The sky is full of fireworks, and the cruise ships on the water are colorful.

There is a traditional activity at the garden party every year: the public votes to select two "national male gods", one dressed as Apollo, the god of sun, and the other as Dionysus, the god of wine.If voters are lucky enough to draw the corresponding name tag, they can date one of the male gods for a day.

Chi Caifan was not interested in voting, and lay alone in the stern of the boat sullenly.

"This year's Apollo is a newcomer, named Sheng Rui." The female companion held the octopus skewer in one hand, and looked at the screen with the other, "The Dionysus is still Xue Yuan, he is almost becoming a professional Dionysus. ——Hey, I will I wonder why Qi Han has never been selected?"

Chi Caifan is lazy and unresponsive.In fact, she knew the reason best: because she was afraid that Qi Han would be drawn by others, she tried every means to secretly withhold his name tag every year.

The female companion didn't know what she was thinking, and continued to sigh: "But think about it, he is too cold. Even if he is good-looking, who would like to face a lump of ice all day? - Woo, think about it and cool down."

"You can't say that." Although she felt sad, she still remembered to protect him, "I read in the ancient poems, 'Qi Han can't be blamed, the way of heaven is divided equally.' The alternation of cold and heat in nature is inevitable, and so are people. Same. When he is cold, he must be hot, but it's not easy to see."

"It's as if you've seen it before." The female companion smiled maliciously, "Then tell me, when is he hot, where is it hot, and how hot is it?"

"...you filthy person!!"

"You think dirty, and you still have the face to criticize others!"

There was a sudden burst of screaming and cheering on the cruise ship.You don't need to look to know that Xue Yuan must have stepped onto the waterside stage as in previous years.

Chi Caifan had to admit that Xue Yuan had a star quality in him.Wherever he is, he will always be the focus of attention.Some people like him, some people hate him.Either way, it's hard to ignore him.

Qi Han was always out of touch with the excitement.Whenever he was alone, his eyes would be covered with a somewhat erratic look.

When looking at him, she often has a feeling: if no one comes to hold him, he will fly to the sky like a kite with a broken string.He seems to lack a deep and solid connection with the world, like a foreign visitor who is ready to leave at any time.

Xue Yuan sat down in front of the piano, but he didn't show off his skills like in previous years, he just played a series of arpeggios lightly and delicately.In the blink of an eye, the surrounding roses suddenly turned into thousands of pink petals, flying like butterflies in the changing light and shadow.

At this moment, he seemed like a god, but Chi Caifan knew that for this short few seconds of visual effect, he spent hours adjusting the lighting, projection and wind direction tirelessly.

Because of the beating not long ago, his wrist was still injured and he was unable to play the piano, so he used another dazzling way to express himself.

The man had a penchant for acting by nature, and he didn't hide it.Like a magician on the stage, he announces to the audience in a beautiful illusion: everything is an illusion, but you don't have to delve into what is under the surface.

She didn't know whether to call it sly candor or candid slyness.

Turning her head, she saw Anna standing behind the crowd, a lady's cigarette flickering in her hand, and her gaze focused on the person in the center of the stage.

"Sister Anna!" Chi Caifan squeezed beside her, "You come to see him every time."

Anna's eyes flickered slightly, "It's just for interest. You love 'heroes', and I love male gods. The reason is the same."

Chi Caifan couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that Sister Anna is so lustful!"

"Of course, sex is a very pleasant thing." Anna raised her red lips slightly, "However, what I just said was a real male god."

"...A real god?"

"Some people have divinity in them. To me, they are the gods among humans. If you look closely, you will find them around you."

"Like... when he was playing the piano?" Chi Caifan looked back at the stage, "Well, he was really handsome just now, and even I felt a little moved."

"No, it's not that." Anna thought sideways, "Actually, the divinity I'm talking about is something inconspicuous, and it's hard to express it through description. However, if you see it one day, you will will understand immediately."

"Ah... You made me even more curious." Chi Caifan puffed her cheeks, "Well, in the future, I must catch a man with divine nature and study it carefully."

Anna's expression was very serious, "Many times, even if you can grasp that man, you still can't grasp the divine part of him." She stroked Chi Caifan's back lightly, "You'd better not understand. Once you understand, it may be painful. Because, at that moment, you will realize that he is a man you can never hold."

The crowd suddenly became agitated at this moment.

"what happened?"

"The space city is retrograde!"

An ominous voice came through the air and continued to echo in my ears.

Chi Caifan's eyes widened, disbelieving the difference.

Terrible and long.

Make no mistake, it was an air raid siren!

How could this voice, which was only heard during exercises, be heard during today's garden party?

The surrounding area was full of noisy voices one after another, interfering with each other intermittently.She had a hard time getting it, everyone was repeating the same thing: "God's rod!"

Rod of God.

The metal rods launched by the satellites do not carry ammunition themselves, but rely on kinetic energy to cause powerful damage.

In space, this is a simple and effective means of attack.

"Mianzhu" still used the method it used to surprise Suzaku—six "Stands of God", shooting at the control center of "Phoenix No. [-]" from six different directions at the same time!

On the distant main ship of "Mianzhu", Xia Changying was sitting by the red lotus pond.

Blooming red lotuses are huge and bewildering, but they are planted in a mechanized metal pool, relying on the heat source of the nuclear fusion engine to bloom all year round, like fire and blood.

No matter who it is, as long as they see those ghostly red lotuses, they will immediately understand where they are - this is Xia Changying's mansion, Zhu Mingguan.

Among the seven fleets, Xia Changying was the only governor who lived on the main ship instead of in the space city.

What's even more bizarre is that his mansion was built next to the engine radiator, which is not only dangerous, but also extremely hot.

Ordinary people will sweat profusely if they stay in his mansion for a moment.But he didn't seem to know the cold and heat, and he never left his dark purple military uniform cloak.

Xia Changying leaned back in the seat.With him as the center, the distribution map of the Seven Fleets rotates rapidly, like seven planets revolving around a star.

"Armored infantry regiment, are you all ready?" His eyes were crazy, but his tone was surprisingly calm.

"Report to the governor, get ready, you can airborne at any time!"

"Very good." Xia Changying waved his hand slowly, "Go, my pigs." He seldom refers to humans as "humans", but as "pigs".He likes a sentence that Churchill said: Dogs look up to humans, cats despise humans, and only pigs treat humans as equals.

The herald left hastily.Xia Changying walked to the edge of the pool, bent down and picked off a red lotus.On his handsome face, the look of complacency became more ferocious.

Come on, pigs who expect equality, pray to me for freedom!

Only I am above you, the only god!

The author has something to say:

☆、Chapter 15

"Phoenix" was not unprepared for the sudden turn of events of "Mianzhu".

The governor transferred the fleet away from the spaceport, apparently to show non-resistance, but actually to disperse the fleet and prevent Xia Changying from using anti-matter weapons again.The four major space cities have also made corresponding preparations to defend against space raids.

However, he still underestimated the speed at which Xia Changying turned his face.

By one step, he failed to send an early warning to Phoenix [-] in time.By the time Phoenix [-]'s main AI realized the danger was approaching and activated its defense system, it was already too late.

The emergency retrograde Phoenix [-] escaped two "Stands of God", but the remaining four were still inserted into its control center.

In order to avoid a nuclear explosion caused by the high temperature, the nuclear reactor in the space city was shut down immediately, and the power was cut off instantaneously.Phoenix [-] was like a large ship that had run aground, and suddenly fell into the night sea of ​​the entire universe. Only the starlight in the sky watched its sinking indifferently.

The vast majority of civilians survived the first round of attacks unharmed.

As soon as the air raid siren sounded, military officers from all over the space city rushed out to drive the panic-stricken crowd into the underground shelter.

In the closed metal space, the air was hot and dirty, mixed with a disgusting smell, like opening a tin can that had deteriorated over time.The warning sign on the ground emits a faint green fluorescence, flickering between countless heels, like a ghostly phosphorescent fire.

After a long time, the trembling of the earth gradually subsided.Listening carefully, there was no more movement on the ground.In a trance, people have an illusion, it seems that the disaster has passed, and they can take to the streets to breathe freely again.

However this is just the beginning.

"Are they coming?"

Someone tremblingly asked in the darkness.No one answered, and the surroundings were as quiet as a tomb.

Suddenly there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground overhead.Across the ten-meter-thick alloy plate, the sound was extremely dull, making one's heart constrict.

Then, with the second and third sounds, more and more heavy objects fell—a steel rainstorm was falling on the ground, converging into a torrent in the streets and alleys of the city.

"Panzer Infantry Regiment—uh!" Someone screamed, but the voice quickly died down, as if someone had muffled his mouth.

The function of the "God's Rod" is only to destroy the center of the space city's control system.And the power armored infantry that came down from the air after that was the real army of death.

They are wrapped in alloy exoskeletons and carry heavy assault weapons.Every individual soldier is a humanoid armored vehicle.

I can't imagine what they will do to unarmed people after breaking through the entrance of the shelter.

Now these iron gods of death are hovering overhead, like bloodthirsty beasts patrolling the dark night.

In a shelter, Sheng Rui was sitting near a corner.

After sending him and others here, the officers including Qi Han and Xue Yuan disappeared.In such chaos, he had no time to say a word to Qi Han.

Surrounding him, shivering companions gathered—the new students of the same period whose names he hadn't even had time to recognize.Faces could not be seen clearly in the darkness, only the sound of breathing communicated each other's fear.

There was a very thin voice whimpering and crying not far away.Sheng Rui recognized that it was David.Not long ago, when he was humiliated by Ye Baizang in public, the cowardly he also wept helplessly like this.

In this enclosed space, such cries aroused the uneasiness and despair in everyone's hearts even more.Slowly, despair fermented into anger, and commotion began.

"I hate him! Did those officers run away by themselves and leave us alone?"

"It must be! Do you still expect them to protect us? Shit!"

Sheng Rui's shoulder was suddenly hit by something, as if someone had rubbed his body and fell to the ground.
