Humans collapse into slag

Righeim Fortress, a semi-artificial planet hanging outside the Hourglass galaxy.

Liao Yuning stared out of the porthole. In front of the deep space background, the cosmic fortress was like a shimmering crystal ball, and the transparent artificial atmosphere was its glass shell.

The construction of the fortress is still in progress, and the dots of artificial light illuminate everything there, because the vision is clear enough, and even the outlines of some buildings and fortifications can be seen.

Somewhere in the crystal glass ball, the curved lines of the Righeim Fort are faintly visible.

That was the last scene I saw before my death in my previous life.

Stretching out his hand to caress the porthole, his fingertips slowly slid across those outlines, Liao Yuning let out a long breath.

"What are you looking at?"

A voice sounded, the distance was very close, and the heat brought by the breath was still in the ear.

Liao Yuning turned his head and faced the person behind him. He subconsciously stepped back a little, but the person took the opportunity to get closer.

"Ning Ning." Mu Rong leaned on the porthole with one hand, turned his head slightly, and asked hoarsely, "Can I kiss you?"

puff-

I don't know whose heartbeat it is.

Liao Yuning stared, "No." He then pushed Mu Rong, pushing him away, leaving room for himself to breathe.

Mu Rong held the wrist that Liao Yuning pushed over, squeezed it lightly, and sighed: "Is it still not possible?"

After being beaten by Liao Yuning at the meeting, he is now a gentleman. Every time he wants to ask his relatives, he is rejected without exception.

This situation has been going on for a long time.

What a hard-hearted little rascal.

Colonel Mu lowered his head and rubbed the back of his sweetheart's hand with the tip of his nose.

Liao Yuning seemed to have been burned, and immediately withdrew his hand, and then saw a pair of eyes full of disappointment.

Mu Rong's facial features are distinct, and his brows are deep and heroic. He originally had a tough appearance, but at this time, the pair of thick black sword eyebrows drooped a little, showing full of grievance and pity.

Although he knew that the performance involved a lot, but Liao Yuning's heart still felt a little bit annoyed when he saw that expression, and he said angrily: "The rest time is almost over, I should go."

Just now, it's fine if Mu Rong really wants to kiss, but how could he let go of the question of "Can I kiss?"

"Huh?" Mu Rong looked even more disappointed.

Liao Yuning turned around and left without waiting for Mu Rong to speak.

Mu Rong hurriedly said: "Ning Ning, then I will take you back."

Relying on his status as the liaison officer of the Imperial Army Headquarters, Colonel Mu also has privileges aboard the Watchout. Yes, he has a private hover vehicle.

"No need." Liao Yuning walked quickly to the door, "I can just go back by myself."

"Then I'll take you to the station." Mu Rong said again.

Liao Yuning stretched out his hand and opened the door: "No need to send it off."

"Ning Ning." Colonel Mu took a step forward and said in a soft voice, "That's all I want."

Liao Yuning glanced at Mu Rong and said nothing.

Exit the cabin of the Liaison Office, pass through a pedestrian passage, and go down to the elevator, not far away is the nearest suspension vehicle stop.

The whole walk did not exceed 1 minute, and the two did not talk to each other. Intimate words and deeds are not allowed in public places, which has long been stipulated.

Walking to the stop, there happened to be a suspension car passing by, and Liao Yuning walked up directly.

The brain of the suspension car: "Please confirm the destination."

Liao Yuning: "H layer A1 camp."

The brain of the suspension car: "Okay, the car is about to start, please pull the handrail."

Liao Yuning held the handrail, turned around and looked back, Mu Rong waved at him, and even trotted a few steps with the suspension car.

As the vehicle accelerated, the man's figure became farther and farther away, and then he turned around and was no longer seen.

Suddenly I felt that I... seemed a little too much.

An hour later, the A1 camp on the H floor.

In the meeting room of Fighter Squadron [-], Major Helena Keir began to release the latest fighter patrol route.

"This time, the Observatory will stay near the Hourglass galaxy for about six months, and the squadron's training and patrol tasks have also been adjusted accordingly." Helena operated the small light screen at hand. Behind her, the three-dimensional projection of the Hourglass galaxy appeared in the sky. In the middle of the sky, part of the area was marked red, "This is the daily patrol range of our squadron..."

At the end of the meeting, when everyone was walking out in twos and threes, Helena called Liao Yuning to stop.

"The captain of the third team, Lahe, is about to retire." Helena said, "Zhang Qing told you to be the top."

A squadron of about 30 pilots is divided into ten teams, with an average of [-] people in each team.

With Liao Yuning's resume and military rank, being a team leader is a bit of a waste of talent, but in terms of time, it is fast enough to be promoted to the team leader within two months after boarding the ship.

"Understood." Liao Yuning nodded without refusing.

After Helena negotiated with Liao Yuning, she still needed to report to the higher authorities. Before she was officially approved by the headquarters, Liao Yuning temporarily became the trainee captain of the third team.

It is not difficult to hand over work with the former captain Rah and get acquainted with new teammates. He quickly entered the state.

September 2696, 9 Imperial Calendar, Hourglass Galaxy, Outer Asteroid Belt.

A formation of six fighters circled an asteroid with a diameter of ten kilometers and rushed out of the outer edge of the planetary belt.

"Report to the captain, the A3 team has completed the task." A fighter pilot said: "There is no abnormality in the target area."

"Received." Liao Yuning's voice sounded in the communication system, "A3, you can return."

Pilot: "Got it."

When the six fighters turned around, Liao Yuning led another team numbered A1 and was still going deep into the asteroid belt.

During the stay of the Lookout in the Hourglass Galaxy, the special ship originally stationed here began to rotate and repair, so the daily monitoring and patrol tasks were arranged by the Lookout.

The Righeim Fortress project is of great importance, and the Silver Shield Legion naturally attaches great importance to it, but this emphasis is somewhat superficial.

According to general cognition, the greatest crisis of the empire comes from the Zerg race. Those powerful creatures that exist on the other side of the distant universe cannot coexist with humans.

In view of the brutality of the last war, it is estimated that the Zerg home planet will not be able to initiate another war within a hundred years, and the wormhole located in the central spiral of Righeim has no sign of opening.

Apart from this, no other external power can pose a threat to the empire.

From the perspective of the upper echelons of the Silver Shield Legion at this time, the existence of the fleet in the Hourglass Galaxy is just a deterrent. Even if there is not much military deployment, no force dares to come out to destroy it.

Black Heron Harbor attempted to occupy the Fortress of Righeim and self-government, which no one expected.

"Captain, there is magnetic field interference ahead, and our communication with the mothership will be interrupted at any time." A member of the A1 team reminded through the intercom system.

Of course Liao Yuning knew about this problem, and the mission didn't require them to go deep into the asteroid belt, but this kind of daily patrol that looked like flowers on horseback couldn't find any problems.

According to Mu Rong, when the Heilu change occurred in the previous life, Heilu Port had made many arrangements in advance, and even established a temporary base in the Hourglass galaxy.

But maybe now is not the time.

"A1, return." Liao Yuning ordered.

Half an hour later, the fighter group returned to the Lookout.

Liao Yuning jumped off the fighter plane and walked towards the periphery of the hangar.

Di-

The internal communicator sounded, and then a small notification light screen popped up: Major Liao Yuning, please report to the Military Affairs Office of the Command Center of the G9 Flying Brigade before 5:24 on September 01.

Although I don't know what's going on, it's still early, and Liao Yuning is not in a hurry.

He first went to the locker room to change his flight suit, took a shower, and then put on his daily uniform and set off. The command center of the brigade is not far from the hangar of the first squadron, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk there.

When it came to military affairs, there was nothing serious. Liao Yuning's trainee captain became a regular, and he needed to go through a supplementary procedure.

After finishing the matter, the staff of the Military Affairs Department suddenly said: "Major Liao, Lieutenant Colonel Sheng Tiancheng has left a message. If you come to the headquarters, please go to his office."

Liao Yuning: "Okay, thank you."

Why did Sheng Tiancheng look for him?

Liao Yuning went to Sheng Tiancheng's office with doubts, and the other party was indeed there.

"Is the shift over this time?" Sheng Tiancheng remained the same, asking questions directly without explaining the reason.

Liao Yuning replied: "Yes, it just ended."

There is no difference between day and night on the ship, and the shift of the fighter squadron is based on a twelve-hour unit, with a system of one shift and 24 hours of rest.

It looks strong, but it's actually pretty good.

During the shift, they may perform daily patrol tasks, which generally do not exceed two hours, and remain on standby for the rest of the time. As long as they stay in the squadron, there are no restrictions on what they can do.

"Okay, I'll take you somewhere." Sheng Tiancheng walked out after saying that.

Liao Yuning didn't say much when he saw this, and followed behind.

When the two of them entered the elevator, Sheng Tiancheng said suddenly: "I remember that your ship grade is also A."

Liao Yuning: "Yes."

Soon, Liao Yuning knew why Sheng Tiancheng asked that question, because the latter took him to a spaceship take-off and landing passage.

The Lookout is huge, and the interior space is enough to park some small and medium-sized ships. The take-off and landing passage here is connected to a spaceship platform.

After confirming Liao Yuning's ship control ability, Sheng Tiancheng said: "We're going to take a high-speed spaceship later. Since you can also drive, there is no need to add another co-pilot."

"Lieutenant Colonel." Liao Yuning finally couldn't help it: "Where are we going?"

Leaving Lookout by airship... is it going to Righeim Fortress?If it was true, Liao Yuning was quite looking forward to it, although he didn't know why Sheng Tiancheng did this.

Sheng Tiancheng didn't reply directly, "Do you remember what day it is today?"

what day?

Liao Yuning was a little confused, but quickly remembered, "Marshal Liao's death date?"

"Yes." Sheng Tiancheng said, "It's also the anniversary of the death of the Pioneer."

Pioneer, the main flagship of the United Legion during the war, was also Liao Xingshen's ship during the third Righeim battle.

On September 2658, 9 in the Imperial Calendar, the Herald died tragically.

In that battle, the Silver Ash Empire was victorious. Although the main Zerg ship was wiped out, the Pioneer was paid as a price. At that time, not only Liao Xingshen was sacrificed, but also [-] imperial soldiers on the Pioneer, including Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu, Sheng Yan's eldest son, and Sheng Tiancheng's uncle.

Thirty-eight years have passed, and this area of ​​space as a battlefield still retains many traces of war.
