Strike!cowardly [interstellar]

Yao Zai'er smiled and stretched out his hand, and was held in the palm of the big hand.Yao Zai'er looked at the overlapping hands of the two, and tilted his head slightly in thought. They were also human palms, but his own was a little smaller than Lance's. It was not as sharp-boned as his, and it didn't look very powerful. child, it was wrapped in.

When Lance grasped the cool touch, his heart trembled slightly, it was smooth and delicate.He also held Molly's hand during the training of cooperative combat, but the young man's hand was not as soft as a woman's, but dry, obedient and harmless.

He was not used to being so close, so he tried his best to suppress the strangeness in his heart, and kept telling himself: This is his dog, even if it is different now, he should take care of him by himself.

So, he held Yao Zai'er tightly, and led him steadily to the top of the cliff, where there was an abyss several hundred meters below. Messy short blonde hair.

After a long time, he said softly, "This is where my father fell into the bug swarm. When I saw him with my own eyes, he was instantly swallowed by the bugs."

Yao Zai'er shivered, Lance noticed it, thought he was cold, put his military coat on him, and told him: "If you feel uncomfortable, put on the hood."

He himself has an SSS physique and doesn't need it for the time being, but he found that Apollo is also very adaptable to the climate and air of this planet.

Yao Zai'er nodded, his small head was exposed outside the large coat, as if his body could be crushed.Lance looked at it, feeling inexplicably wanting to laugh. The satisfaction of taking care of others made the corners of his mouth curl up.

Yao Zai'er was warm, took a step closer, looked at Lance, his eyes were full of seriousness, "My mother is gone. I heard from my eldest sister that she was attacked by other demon cultivators alone in a rainy night. I didn't quite settle down and fell down the cliff. My father and his brothers searched for it day and night for five days. In the end, they didn't know what happened. They refused to say, but my mother really never came back. "

"I can't even remember what my mother looked like. At that time, I hadn't been weaned..." Yao Zai'er's eyes flashed a little confused, and he murmured, "It was the big sister who took me in her mouth and went to beg the sheep on the next mountain. Demon, half milk and half water, barely growing up. They all said that my picky eater problem is because I didn't eat enough when I was young..."

Lance felt sour in his heart. He looked at the half-grown boy in front of him with deep eyes, his voice faltered, he rubbed the top of his head, and said softly: "It's okay, I will take care of you in the future. You can eat whatever you want , not afraid of picky eaters."

Yao Zai'er rolled his eyes with a smile, stood on tiptoe, hooked Lance's neck, and licked his cheek again!

Lance didn't have time to stop him, so he had to hold down the boy's head that he wanted to continue to lick, and said solemnly: "It can't be like this, Apollo—"

Looking at the doubts in the young man's eyes and the disappointment gradually revealed, he educated him earnestly: "You are a human being now, you can't just lick other people casually."

"I didn't lick casually."

"You can't lick."

"Why? But I saw Molly lick Gbadden's face today."

"..." Lance was silent, and after three seconds, "Are you sure?"

Yao Zai'er's head was still being pressed, so he tapped harder.

Lance looked like he was opening the door to a new world, and finally decided to accept the reality. Thinking that there was a good baby waiting to be educated in front of him, he coughed and said, "They like each other, so Molly licks... no, Kiss Gbadden."

"Kiss? What is a kiss?" Yao Zai'er asked in puzzlement. In the hearts of beasts, whoever they like, they are willing to lick their fur. The harder you lick, the wetter it is, the more you like it.The corners of his eyes drooped again, and he looked at him aggrievedly, "Do you not like me like this? Why did you lick my place when I was in the original form, but not now?" He pointed to his forehead.

"It's different..." Lance still wanted to defend himself. He was a fluffy dog ​​back then, but now... He was not good at dealing with such things, and he didn't know what to say.

Kiss?kiss?Such soft words will never appear in the dictionary of the marshal.Since Marshal was three years old, if his brother wanted to kiss him, he had to use a sneak attack.

Lance and Yao Zai'er looked at each other for a moment, and finally felt that it was meaningless to explain to this little boy who had no common sense of human beings at all.He sighed softly, bent down, kissed his smooth forehead lightly, and smiled helplessly, "Is that all right?"

Yao Zai'er touched the spot on his forehead with his hand, it wasn't wet, as if nothing was left, but it was warm, as if it had been conveyed to the bottom of his heart.He was stunned, thinking to himself: So, is this a human kiss?

It's not worse than... the feeling of licking fur.

……

Molly had searched the whole territory through the starship equipment before, and there was no trace of the strange starship.Then the sneak attacker must have landed on some kind of concealed small and medium-sized aircraft with anti-search capabilities.Through path analysis, Lance basically judged that the opponent's base camp was near this cliff, and the team immediately searched in the dark.

When Lance left the top of the cliff, he squatted down, gathered a handful of soil, put it into the small nutrient solution tank that he carried, and put it in his arms.

They searched all the way, Yao Zai'er could perceive the general direction, and Lance further confirmed the route through the footprints and marching traces left along the road.Just as they were on their way, Lance's personal terminal suddenly sang a weird little tune...

"Brother Houhou, you are amazing...the five elements and mountains can't hold you back..." The deteriorating tone had a metallic hoarse texture, intermittent, and it seemed that there was a lack of connection.

But Lance was stunned, lowered his head, and looked at the music icon flickering on his wrist in disbelief, "...Brother, brother?!"

——"Lance, this song is about the most famous mythical figure in the ancient eastern country on the parent planet. That monkey brother is very powerful, just like your brother. This song will be our unique communication code from now on!"

——"Brother, I like the imperial military song better, let's change it?"

——"No way! You haven't gotten tired of listening to the military song at school? Just decide this one. I've already set it up in your personal terminal. How to use it...I haven't figured it out yet, but you are not allowed to change it."

--"……Ok."

Yao Zai'er only felt a tight waist, and was picked up by Lance in an instant. The bushes on both sides retreated quickly, and Lance was running with all his strength.He could hear the man's heavy breathing, but it wasn't tired, but rather excited.

They rushed into a cave 500 meters away, but then exited quickly. A huge Zerg that had been awakened from hibernation climbed out of it, waving its sharp long limbs.

Lance threw Yao Zaier to the side, shot two shots to end the bug's life, and then pulled him up and strode into the hole!

"Brother?!"

Lance turned on the light and illuminated the cave, which smelled like a stench. Except for the excrement of bugs, there was no trace of human life.

The singing became louder and louder, and under the withered grass in the cave, a little light was shining slightly.

Lance stepped forward and lifted the dead grass, and lying quietly underneath was a golden hoop the size of a palm, and his memory suddenly returned to the starship that went to Marcelo Star...

Ten years ago, the young Lance wore the dark and solemn military uniform meticulously, sat on the back of the chair with his head leaned on, watching his brother still studying the small circle on the road.

With joy in his eyes, Kai picked up the golden hoop in his hand and showed it to his younger brother, "Look, Lance, this is called Hot Wheels, and I made it for Nezha! Now there is only one, and when the test is successful, it will be You can run around on a pair!"

Lance let out a "huh" indifferently, and in exchange for his brother's big eyes!

"Don't underestimate this pair of hot wheels. Its speed is twice as fast as your running speed. The material is a thousand times harder than the personal terminal. It is fireproof and explosion-proof. It can receive and transmit things in the personal terminal. It has backup and Recording function. When I finish it for Nezha, I will replace it with a super-advanced personal terminal, the first in the entire galaxy!"

"I'm not as important as Nezha in your heart?"

"Hahahaha my dear brother, are you jealous! It's so rare..." Kay smiled happily, got up and rubbed his brother's head, his eyes softened, "Of course not, you are my favorite An important brother who deserves the best and the best."

Now, this lonely "Hot Wheels" is lying quietly in front of Lance.Lance didn't know how he picked it up with trembling hands. When he accidentally stuck the terminal on his wrist, the singing stopped suddenly, and the countdown reading bar appeared: [13%...60%...99%...100% 】

Matched successfully!The automatic reading function is turned on——

The golden circle made a tearing sound, and then, a familiar voice sounded:

"Record—cough, cough, cough, major general Lance has been sent out of Marcelo, Marshal Adam...died in battle, cough cough...the personal terminal communication connection system is confirmed to be damaged, unable to communicate with the starship "Kay struggled, but tried to say word by word, "The current survival rate of the Black Iron Army is unknown. Marshal Adam once sent a message, pointing out that the sudden reinforcements did not come from the Volo galaxy, and no further instructions were given. Here is Kay's General, target, find the aircraft of the reinforcements, find out the identity of the other party, cough, cough, cough..." The young man's voice became hoarse with the coughing, and he sighed helplessly, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I hope... I can find out."

Lance was stunned for a few seconds. Now that he suddenly realized that he was "tricked" into getting on the aircraft and leaving, Kay did not die in the explosion. This recording was made by him after his personal terminal was damaged. This "Hot Wheels" made by Nezha was recorded!

For the first time, he was sincerely grateful to Kay for those inventions. Fortunately, there was a "hot wheel" that was a thousand times harder than the personal terminal, so that he heard his brother's voice again ten years later...

After that, there was a long noise, accompanied by Kai's extremely light and unbearable moans, and the sound of stumbling as if he fell and got up again.Through the recording, Lance seems to be able to imagine what a difficult and painful journey Kay has gone through...

Seeing that Lance's face was terribly heavy, Yao Zai'er didn't know how to comfort him. He himself felt very uncomfortable when he listened to this recording... He could only put the other hand on the back of Lance's hand, and put the He wraps up.

After a long caressing sound, Kai's voice finally sounded again, this time suppressing his cough, "...Record, we found a target aircraft suspected of being reinforcements. There are patrols around, so we can't get close."

"From the appearance, I can't tell which galaxy it is from. This can also explain that the visitor is deliberately concealing his identity..."

"Color, elegant white, the fuselage is like the Oufei 360 aircraft, the wings are slightly short, and the tail is slightly raised." After the sound of the clothes rubbing against the ground, "...let's try to change the angle and look at the door... Cough, cough, report, my hood is gone, and it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe, I don’t know, I don’t know, it’s still possible...cough cough cough..."

There was another long moving sound. It could be heard that Kai's breathing was getting weaker and weaker. It wasn't because of deliberate concealment, but because his physical strength could no longer support him to crawl...

Yao Zai'er was in pain when Lance's hand was scratching, but Yao Zai'er didn't say a word and let him pinch.

Suddenly, a shout came from "Hot Wheels": "Someone! Someone is there!—"

Lance's heart twitched violently, and he pulled Yao Zai'er a step forward, staring at the golden circle.

I only heard the sound of running, close to the top of my head, "There is a person here!"

"What should I do? Just kill him?"

"Wait... Black hair and black eyes, could it be that useless eldest son of old Ludwig? Take it up and show it to the officer!"

Yao Zai'er felt the anger that Lance burst out when he heard the word "trash", as if he was going to rush in to fight that person in the next second.He had no choice but to open his arms, hold the man in his arms, and use one hand, not so skillfully, to pat his back lightly, leaning his face on his shoulder.

Soon after they boarded the aircraft, another strange voice sounded like an emotionless machine, "Kay?"

"..."

"Very good. Kay caught it, and Lance must not be far away."

At this time, a sneer was heard from the elegant young man.

"What are you laughing at?" The unfamiliar machine voice lowered in displeasure.

"Ahem...cough cough..." Kai just coughed, laughing while coughing.

The machine voice seemed annoyed, and snorted coldly, "You father and son are also destined to die together on this planet. I will fulfill you today, how did the old marshal die, and you go with me! Order, go to The cliff from which Adam fell."

"Yes!"

The sound of the aircraft taking off, Kay was brought there unknowingly, the recording was silent for a long time, and suddenly he heard him speak, repeating two words in a low voice: "God kite... the bilge... the god kite... the bilge... the god kite... Cough, cough, cough..."

Lance put the golden ring on his ear, listened carefully, and murmured to follow, but Kai's voice was too vague, and he frowned.

The aircraft landed, Kai was dragged out, and there was a sound of wind from inside.

Their chief's machine voice said again: "Here we are, your father, just fell from here... Look, you are much luckier, the bug swarm has disappeared, and it will only end with a 'snap', no I will feel the pain of being devoured by ten thousand insects again."

Lance's eyes were red, Yao Zai'er could hardly hug him.The man in his arms was panting heavily.

"Are you going down by yourself, or shall we help you, Master Kay?"

The young man struggled to push away the person who was pressing him, and a contemptuous snort came out of his throat, and he said in a small but indifferent voice: "Your Majesty has really taken great pains for the Ludwig family, so I won't bother you... "

The other party seemed surprised for a moment, but thought that the matter had come to an end, there was no need to hide it anymore, and laughed a few times, "As expected of Master Kai, this smart brain is not as useless as outsiders say... It's a pity , There will be no room for bravery in the future." He turned cold for a second, "Since you dared to do that kind of thing back then, you should have expected the consequences of going against His Majesty... After so many years, His Majesty is already merciful. "

The last voice Kai left behind was a faint voice: "The Ludwig family never thought of going against His Majesty."

The sound of the strong mountain wind agitated bursts, as if lingering in the ears.

Lance was completely stunned, and stood there blankly, showing a bewildered expression for the first time.Yao Zai'er somehow had such a fast reaction speed, and quickly pressed both hands tightly on his ears, almost immediately after, there was a dull landing sound, "boom" -!

It smashed into the bottom of Yao Zai'er's heart, making him tremble a bit, but his hands were still firmly attached.

"Hot Wheels" was completely quiet.

After a long while, Lance slowly put down Yao Zai'er's hand. There was always a glimmer of light in his calm and deep blue eyes. He looked at him and opened his mouth gently, "... Are you scared? I'm sorry."

Yao Zai'er's hand was held in his hand, close to his temperature, he shook his head.

Lance picked up the "Hot Wheels" that had stopped moving, and when it approached him, it started singing again...

"Brother Monkey, you are really amazing...the five elements and mountains can't hold you back..."

Lance shrugged slightly, and pressed it against his heart.

No matter how great Monkey Brother is, he can't compare to his elder brother... No one else knows, but that is the hero he admired the most since he was a child...

"It's been ten years, and I didn't get back my brother's things until ten years later..."

After the accident that year, Lance naturally led his army back to Marcelo, and thoroughly checked the entire planet, but found no traces of human life.And this "Hot Wheel" was taken away by some insect, and how did it appear in this cave... In the dark, I met him ten years later here.

"It's okay, it's all over." Yao Zai'er comforted softly.

"God kite... Brother is talking about the totem god kite of the empire..." Lance hoarse voice, trying to suppress with all his strength, so that he can speak out, "The one who killed my father and brother belonged to the Ou Fei Empire, His Majesty the Emperor...Ba, Ze, Er!"

Suddenly, the communicator on the wrist rang again, and the voice of the subordinate reported, "Marshal! A suspicious aircraft was found in the northeast corner, and the coordinates have been sent to you!"

Lan Si turned off the communicator without saying a word, carried Yao Zai'er on his back, and handed "Hot Wheels" to him to put away.

The last two words, I have not guessed what my brother said.But at that time, my brother was on the aircraft, which may coincide with Lance's idea of ​​ordering the investigation of the aircraft.

Kai is an expert in mechanical manufacturing, and his sensitivity and understanding of aircraft are much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

They arrived at the destination as quickly as possible.

Although it was already possible to confirm who the actual sneak attacking army belonged to, Lance still almost roared when he saw a parked medium-sized aircraft with no discernible logo.

"Search! Search thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

Lance strode in, muttering in a low voice: "Tibetan...hidden bottom...bilge!"

His eyes flickered, "Check the bilge!"

They quickly opened the bilge, and Lance couldn't see anything unusual, but a young man who was originally a maintenance soldier who was temporarily pulled to search because he was not injured suddenly said: "Marshal! The design of this bilge is from our Ou Fei's!"

Another person said in disbelief, "Look again! Didn't Marshal Sauron say it should belong to Roberta?"

He squatted down, took a closer look at a few places, and said doubtfully, "It's strange, it seems that all the places with the Ou Fei logo have been specially erased, but this structure can't be wrong."

Everyone was stunned.

There has always been a clear military divide between the star systems.The use of weapons and aircraft from alien galaxies is strictly prohibited, and it is almost impossible to import military supplies from alien galaxies.

But it is not absolute.

Kay must have discovered the secret of the bilge, and he was suspicious, but he was not sure.I asked it on purpose at the last moment, verifying the conjecture...

The death of his father and brother, today's disaster, Lance thought of a sentence his father often said: "Our Ludwig family was born to stand in heaven and earth, and every Ludwig must be worthy of the empire, loyal to the emperor and protect the people." ..."

The surroundings are pitch black, and farther above the head, there are thousands of bright stars.

Facing the cliff where his father and brother died, Lance knelt on one knee and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, brother, today Lance walked out of Marcelo alive again, and he must go to take the life of that king. If you are born unable to stand in the world as a qualified Ludwig, you must go to your father and brother to plead guilty after death."

Before dawn, the giant black starship slowly lifted away from the planet and disappeared into the vast and endless universe.

The adjutant retracted the sight glass, turned back and asked the man who had been sitting in the center of the command room for a long time, "Boss, why did Marshal Lance and the others suddenly leave first? Then let's set sail as originally planned?"

"No." Sauron spat out a word, his face darkened for a long time showed that this person's current mood was really bad, and he didn't even have the mood to ridicule.

"Then what are we still doing here?"

"What are you doing when you go back? Fight Lance?" Sauron snorted a few times.

"Ah?" The adjutant didn't know why, "Isn't the actual combat over? Boss, why didn't you report the accident here to His Majesty? If in the past..."

"Report what?!" Sauron suddenly yelled violently, his handsome face was twisted, "If I don't report, someone will!" He took a deep breath and ordered, "Communicate the cab, after three hours Let's start again."

"This time, there is no explanation. You can deal with the furious Lance yourself." On the face of the wine-red long-haired man, a cold and seductive laugh slowly appeared.
