Puppeteer [Interstellar]

The search team led by A Xiao successfully completed the task of retrieving the puppet, but at the same time, another rescue team was still on the way.

The task of the rescue team is to find the location where Lyle parked the lifeboat according to the marks on Lyle's electronic map, and bring Alice back from the lifeboat.

This task is not difficult, but it will take a long time, because when Lyle was driving the lifeboat and just landed on the earth, he walked for about seven or eight days before encountering the patrol team of the Lost Army, and At that time, because of the fast movement of the magnetic levitation skateboard, Lyle saved a lot of time, and he shortened the half-month journey by half.

But the rescue team can't do this, because the Zerg and the alliance army may come to harass them at any time, and if they use transportation, the possibility of encountering danger will increase.They had rescued them in the past, and they couldn't rescue half of them and died first.

Therefore, the rescue team can only walk. They must try their best to walk on those narrow and hidden roads without making noise or attracting attention, and they must move as fast as possible.If this is done, it means that the rescue team needs to go around a lot of long distances, and their rescue operations may last for a long time.

While the rescue team embarked on the journey to rescue Alice, on the other hand, Lyle and his family's Scar had to begin to accept the training of Captain A Xiao for the purpose of joining the Lost Army.

Before that, Lyle agreed to Aban's half-threat, half-solicitation, and decided to formally become a member of the Earth's Lost Army base. Now that the promise has been released, Lyle has to keep the promise, and in order to fulfill the promise, Lyle must Pay a price for this.

However, Lyle's training didn't start so quickly, because he was still a wounded person, so before his injury healed, Lyle could have a good time with his puppet in the Lost Army Base.

Immediately after that night, A Xiao assigned a room to Lyle and his family Scar.

The base of the Forgotten Army is located underground. Its space is not particularly large, but it is still relatively large. Therefore, all members of the base are almost two people in one room. There are beds in the upper and lower floors in the room, and each has a small wardrobe. , a table and chairs.

The accommodation space in the base is not very large.When Lyle was still on the central planet, he had visited his dormitory building in the school. The students in the building also share double rooms, but the decoration and equipment conditions in the rooms are very good. Each room They are all equipped with separate bathrooms, which are clean and tidy at a glance.

It’s just that the conditions are not so good now in the Lost Army Base. The layers of the walls of the room are falling off, the room is narrow and crowded, and the living furniture is very old, and it can make a creaking sound when you move it. .There is no separate bathroom, only public toilets and bathhouses, Lyle is inexplicably a little horrified at the thought of showing his breasts with others.

At the same time, because the underground is relatively cold and humid, and there are not many light sources, sleeping in this kind of place seems to make people moldy, and it seems like they can get arthritis within three days. This kind of environment is simply not a place for people to stay!

Lyle can also be regarded as the kind of rich boy who grew up with rich clothes and good food. Although he was almost transparent in that family, he still had some material conditions that he should have. A good boy who has never suffered too much in this regard.

It was awkward for Lyle to have to adapt to such an environment all of a sudden, but before he and the puppet were on the desolate land of the earth, running around every day and night, enduring the cold wind for a while, and the scorching heat for a while. After getting over it, there is no reason why Lyle can't adapt to this environment, so Lyle still smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, deciding to make himself stronger.

The only thing that made him happier was that he and Scar were in the same room, so they could have a lot of intimate time, which made Lyle very happy.

Xia Yuan, a gentle and beautiful female doctor, brought some clothes that fit Laier and a few sets for Scar, and put them in the closet in the room beforehand. Afterwards, Xia Yuan took Lyle to see them The canteen in the base, as well as various training grounds.

Lyle likes this gentle and enthusiastic doctor very much. Probably since he came to this base, the only doctor named Xia Yuan who has had a lot of conversations is this doctor named Xia Yuan, so Lyle seems to be a little dependent on the doctor in this regard. , and Doctor Xia is very patient and takes good care of Lyle.

On the contrary, A Xiao, who was appointed by the leader of Aban as a guide, took Lyle and the others to a room and said that he would take Lyle to training in a few days, and then ran away without a trace. , leaving Lyle alone.

At that time, there was no one to take care of her, and Lyle, who was confused about the well-connected passages in the base, could only ask the doctor for help after thinking about it. , so I took Lyle around every day.

The base of the Lost Army is very large, and there are many divisions. In addition to the living area for the members to live and rest, there are also ecological breeding areas for production and cultivation, atmospheric modification areas that allow humans to breathe normally, power generation rooms, and chemical supplies. Workshops, metal processing rooms, mineral collection sites, etc.

In order to support this underground base and feed more than a thousand people in the base, the personnel here have endless things to do every day. Lyle walked all the way and saw that everyone was in a hurry, and they were all busy like It's spinning like a top.

Especially after A Xiao brought back the news of the Zerg, the people here became even busier, and they walked like a breeze, and they could brush past.The unbelievable thing is that there are so many people walking around, but not many people make too much noise, except for the frequent footsteps and the noise that has to be made when moving equipment or items .

It's very quiet here. It's the most incredible place for Lyle to keep such a large base with so many people. Because few people speak, Lyle unconsciously lowered his voice when talking with the doctor. a lot of.

He couldn't help asking Xia Yuan curiously: "Why are they all so quiet?"

"We can't attract the Zerg." Xia Yuan explained.

"After A Xiao brought back the news that the Zergs had landed in large numbers, the leader issued a total sound ban. After that, we will speed up the process and set up the silencer in the base, but because we can't speak, we can't make too much noise. Even the movement has to be much lighter, which actually slows down the progress of our work."

Laier seemed to understand Xia Yuan's words, but Xia Yuan didn't need Laier's understanding. She just told Lyle that she was fine and didn't make too much noise. There is nothing left to watch out for.

In order for Lyle to integrate into the life of the base as soon as possible, Xia Yuan took Lyle to the cafeteria. Usually, everyone has a lot of work to do, and the only time to get together happily is in the cafeteria. Taking advantage of this gap, I introduced Lyle to more people, and let Lair know more friends.

Hearing that he was going to meet friends, Lyle immediately became nervous.

Lyle didn't have many friends since he was a child. He was still lively and cheerful when he was in elementary school, and he met some like-minded friends, but as he grew older, for some reason, the people around him began to alienate him.

The reason for the estrangement was always unclear to Lyle, but occasionally one day, he overheard someone chatting, and Lyle was mentioned in the chat content, so after listening for a long time, Lyle finally understood why others alienated him.

It's also very simple, it's nothing more than someone revealing his identity as an illegitimate child and things that are completely unpopular in the family.

Then some inexplicable people began to alienate him, ridiculing and ridiculing secretly, and brought everyone around him together. People began to follow this herd mentality, and slowly completely isolated Lyle, even though Lyle had something bad Neither did.

And when some people who don't understand the reason ask "why should Lyle be isolated", a few people will jump out and say that there is a problem with Lyle's character or style, and when others find evidence to prove that Lyle When I didn't have any problems with my character and style of work, those people said again:

"So many people don't want to see him, there must be something wrong with him."

Oh, Lyle really doesn't know what's wrong with him.

Later, Lyle also looked away. If you don't have friends, you don't have friends. He doesn't care at all.Although he hypnotized and suggested himself like this, Lyle's mood was actually sour. For a while, because his loneliness was too strong, he strongly hoped to have a friend by his side... just one.

But he has no friends.

Everyone had their backs to him, and they all walked past Lyle in groups talking and laughing, but Lyle was left alone at the end. When he couldn't catch up, he stopped slowly.

Just stay where you are.

The ferocious and crazy beast in his heart said this to Lyle.

stay on the spot.

"Hi! Boy, are you new here? What's your name?" A burly man stretched out a muscular arm and put it on Lyle's shoulders. The heavy muscles weighed on Lyle's figure. They were all much shorter, he raised his head tremblingly, and looked at the tough man, only to feel that the big white teeth that the other party showed when he smiled almost blinded his eyes.

"My name is... Lyle." Lyle was a little suffocated by Biaohan's arm, Xia Yuan, a female doctor sitting opposite, reached out and tapped the table lightly, "Kayli, let him go, Lyle is still a wounded patient." , you will make him uncomfortable."

The burly man immediately restrained himself a lot, quickly withdrew his arm from Lyle's neck, and said with a sneer, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, come have a glass of wine! Take it as my apology!"

After Kaili finished speaking, he pushed the wine glass in front of him directly in front of Lyle. Xia Yuan over there frowned and almost opened his mouth to roar, but he still said very calmly: "The wounded cannot drink, Kaili Li! Do you have ears on your ass!?"

Na Biaohan was shocked by Xia Yuan's momentum, trembling all over, hurriedly took back the wine glass in front of Lyle, and began to apologize again: "I'm sorry, sorry, I forgot...it's all my fault..."

"And Lyle is not yet an adult." Next to Lyle is the biggest Boss in the base, Aban. This boy with the appearance of a child stretches his arms and lies on the dining table, his legs do not touch the ground, sitting on the chair Dangling, he turned his head to look at Lyle, "You can't drink if you are not an adult."

"Then let's drink juice, children should like this very much." The well-mannered black-clothed guardian next to Aban brought two servings of juice from the kitchen, one for Lyle and one for Aban in front of.

"Why am I also juice! I'm not a child!" Ah Ban started to shout, and he turned around and grabbed the corner of his guardian's clothes, "I want to drink!"

The guardian in black held his head high and held his chest high, defying Aban with absolute height: "Children can't drink!"

Ah Ban became angry: "I'm not a child!"

The guardian in black snorted coldly; "Hmph, you are a child."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the juice in front of Aban towards him again.

Aban was sluggish, holding the juice in front of him, biting the straw and starting to suck, muttering in his mouth: "Wait until I turn back into a human, and see if I don't torment you to death!"

The guardian in black just narrowed his eyes and smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked Aban's head without saying a word.

Aban drank the juice for a long time, turned his head to see Lyle next to him motionless, and asked him strangely, "Why don't you eat?"

Lyle was distracted, and when he heard Aban's words, he came back to his senses suddenly, and couldn't help but bent his eyes and smiled: "It's the first time I have dinner with so many people, I'm a little happy."

Indeed, there were a lot of people around Lyle at this time. The burly man named Carey was sitting on the right side of Lyle, devouring the food on the plate, and Aban was sitting on the left side. guardian.On the opposite side is the gentle doctor Xia Yuan, beside the doctor is the soldier A Xiao, and at the same time there are other seven or eight people all crowded together, the restaurant is overcrowded, and eating time is the busiest time in the base.

Scar, who has no human rights, was not able to sit down and stood behind Lyle, but he ate very quickly. The chef brought him a large bowl of fat, tender and delicious meat steaks drenched in sauce, and Scar immediately After eating, I ordered two more plates.

The doctor Xia Yuan did introduce a lot of people to Laier, but there were too many people, and Lyle was so dazzled that he could not remember the names and appearances of people, but fortunately, everyone was very enthusiastic, probably because no outsiders came to the base for a long time. When they found a new face, they became collectively excited and circled Lyle endlessly.

This is the first time for Lyle to be treated like this. The feeling of being watched by many people makes him a little ecstatic. He is so nervous that he doesn't even know where to put his hands. Aban noticed it, and stretched out his small hand to pull Lyle's sleeve.

Aban said to Lyle: "After dinner, I will take you to meet someone."

Lyle looked at him curiously: "Who is it?"

"Besides you, he is the only puppet master in this base." Aban smiled meaningfully.
