Plane Knight Trials

The brilliance of the moon mercilessly covered the desert with a layer of ice cold, but now, it revealed a soft light, which almost made the surrounding scenery gorgeous.

No one thought that these two comrades who had been together for four years would meet in this way.

The sound of the machine gun seemed to have lingered in his ears for a long time, but the person in front of him had already peeled off his mask with fangs, showing a familiar face towards Cheng Zhen.

Scenes of past memories spewed out instantly when seeing this face, almost covering the fact that this person shot himself just now.

Cheng Zhen was so shocked by the sudden encounter that he couldn't recover, he was speechless for a while: "I..."

Looking at the man in front of him who he once relied on like an elder brother, Cheng Zhen didn't know what to say. Could it be that he wanted to save Rong Zhongxin and at the same time investigate the owner of the biggest plane?

"I'm here to save people." Cheng Zhen finally found the right words: "There are innocent people in the firefight center of the exercise."

Hearing this, the man didn't show surprise, but approached Cheng Zhen with a calm demeanor. His elder brother reached out and patted the dirt on Cheng Zhen's shoulders, his voice was full of the same determination as in memory.

"Cheng Zi has really grown up and looks like a man. Just that aggressiveness just now...I really didn't recognize it...Where is this the soldier who used to follow behind my ass?"

"My face is covered in ashes, and I'm not wearing a military uniform. It's still so dark, so it's normal if I didn't recognize it." Cheng Zhen scratched his head.Even though he has been discharged from the army, when he sees the squad leader, he will still show his little actions when he first joined the army.

Seeing this, the man grinned: "When did your skills become so good?"

"I can't tell..."

The power of the plane does not belong to the earth, it is even a category that ordinary people cannot understand.

Hearing this, the man's smile gradually subsided. Under the moonlight, he looked at Cheng Zhen calmly. The scar across his face looked hideous in the dark night. His eyes gradually deepened, and Cheng Zhen didn't understand.

"Can't tell?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked,

"It's... quite complicated." Cheng Zhen was not unwilling to explain, but if possible, he didn't want to involve other irrelevant people.

The excitement of the first encounter faded in the man's eyes, and a gloomy gloomyness gradually rose.

The two stood quietly under the moonlight, and Cheng Zhen was stunned for a moment.

The squad leader in my memory is always healthy and sunny, and Cheng Zhen has never seen him look at him like this.

Obviously the same facial features, the same muscle shape, and the same bone outline, but something is different.That's something deeper, something under the skin...

But even so, I still like and trust the monitor.Because they have a common memory.

A plain sentence sounded in my ear, the voice had already lost the warmth in memory, and fell into the vast wilderness.

——"You... have a plane contactor?"

Under the moonlight, the man's eyes were dark, like a bottomless abyss, he stared straight at Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zhen thought for a while, nodded, and said truthfully, "I have."

"Show me." The man stretched out a calloused hand.

Cheng Zhen seemed to understand something, without hesitation, he took out the gold coin hanging around his neck from his bosom, and handed it to that hand, without leaving any warmth in the exchange.

"King of Fighting..."

The man picked up the gold coin and observed it by the moonlight: "The king of snipers, the king of soldiers..."

Cheng Zhen said softly: "This...you taught me."

The man put away the gold coins and did not return them to Cheng Zhen, but asked, "Why aren't you wearing a military uniform?" "I'm demobilized."

The man was taken aback, with a trace of doubt on his face: "Are you demobilized? You... aren't here to participate in the military exercise?"

Cheng Zhen was also taken aback: "I'm not."

The man pondered for a moment: "This is a cooperative project with Country X. We sold a batch of obsolete armored vehicles and rocket launchers here. So we sent a few military officers over to guide them in using them, and a military exercise happened by the way."

Even after leaving the army, men are still accustomed to referring to the unit they have been in as 'our place'.

Cheng Zhen suddenly realized: "No wonder, the battle command and layout are very similar."

"At first, when I saw someone running towards the downed plane, I thought it was an enemy with a plane. Then I found out it was you, and I thought you were brought by Liancheng to participate in the military exercise."

"The company commander is here?"

"I don't know, it's just an inference based on some information." The man narrated calmly.

Cheng Zhen understood, as expected, the squad leader also had a plane connector.

"Squad leader? You...you have one too?"

"Ah."

The man took out a beautiful brooch from his pocket and handed it in front of Cheng Zhen: "This is my interplanetary communicator, does it look good?"

Cheng Zhen laughed, holding the brooch carefully in his palm.His whole body was gray and black, but under the moonlight he showed a clean demeanor.

The man was slightly taken aback when he saw it.Cheng Zhen's smile was like seeing him on the first day in the barracks, silly, dull, and a little stubborn.Cheng Zhen usually doesn't like to smile, but every time he hooks the corner of his mouth, that pure feeling always touches people's hearts.Didn't I, Liancheng, all get moved by his smile?

"It looks good." Cheng Zhen said.

The man raised his lips in a self-deprecating manner. The child in front of him, the child he had single-handedly raised to be a man, unsuspectingly handed over the interplanetary connector to himself... and exposed his most vulnerable side to himself without reservation, but Just now I wanted to test him...

I haven't seen him for four years, and the child has grown up.In the years when I was not around, I grew taller and stronger.

His purity has not been polluted, his strength has not been broken.The resentment and jealousy that sprang up unconsciously when we first met him turned into a desire to protect him the moment I saw him.

The man stated calmly: "Someone set up a game here to kill a man named 'Rong Zhongxin'. I'm sure this person is the 'enemy'. I came here to destroy the enemy."

"I've been in ambush here for two days. The exercise is almost over, but the one named Rong Zhongxin has never appeared. The 'enemy' has also never appeared. I am a little anxious."

"Your running posture and the strength of your feet are not like ordinary people. I thought you were the 'enemy', but I didn't expect..."

Cheng Zhen looked at the man in front of him, and a familiar feeling slowly came back...

The gun landed on the ground, kicking up fine dust. Cheng Zhen suddenly rushed over and hugged the man's body with both hands: "Squad leader, I miss you very much. I wrote to you, but you didn't reply."

Guns and weapons fell at their feet, shoulder to shoulder, head to head in the moonlight.

"I'm sorry." Cheng Zhen said in a low voice.

"Why did you say sorry to me?" The man stroked Cheng Zhen's short hair amusedly.

"Because at the beginning..."

The man laughed haha, as if he immediately understood the meaning of Cheng Zhen's words: "Silly idiot, you also knew back then..."

Of course Cheng Zhen knew, how could he not know.

When he was so immature and useless, it was the squad leader who led him to the pinnacle of technology.He practiced desperately, just to win Liancheng's favor, but he didn't care about the squad leader's feelings.

Since he became number one in the entire company, he has completely squeezed out the squad leader.The squad leader is his teacher. The squad leader used to be good at sniping, so he also became good at sniping.But since he officially became a sniper and the squad leader was in the company, he never won a sniper award again.

Originally, the squad leader was supposed to rely on the title of the pacesetter of the whole company, advance to a higher rank, and stay in the army, but he took the position that originally belonged to the squad leader.

He still remembered that the squad leader prepared a spare water bottle for him before the last group army contest that he decided to stay in; After a game, massage and relax his muscles—Cheng Zhen never thought at that time that he could surpass the monitor and become the number one.

He never thought that he would crowd out the monitor.

The squad leader helped him only because he told the squad leader that he wanted Liancheng to pay attention to him, and he wanted Liancheng to be proud.

The squad leader patted him on the shoulder like a big brother today, and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

At that time, the squad leader smiled like a young man who had just become a father, innocent and innocent; but today, the squad leader's smile made Cheng Zhen feel distressed.

There seemed to be too many stories hidden in that smile, and there was too much sadness. Although it was still the same shell and the same muscle pulling, the soul inside was completely different.

The man suddenly said: "You are still the same, you have not changed at all. You are not wary of people at all." He returned the gold coin to Cheng Zhen, and took back his brooch from Cheng Zhen's hand. This time, they Hold hands tightly together: "Let him pass on the past."

"Squad leader..."

"Stupid idiot, people say you look like me, but you are always so bearish, you'll embarrass me. I can't let others see the joke, I have to train you to look like a human being, so that I can have a good face."

******

Cheng Zhen recalled the first time the squad leader spoke to him in the cafeteria, and he didn't say a word, but the squad leader's voice was engraved in his mind ever since.

I have to say, "You look like me" not only made Cheng Zhen unconvinced, but also made him the first friend after entering the barracks.Since then, the squad leader has always laughed at him and ridiculed him during training, but encouraged him to help him.Cheng Zhen has no relatives at home, but since he met the squad leader, he has the feeling of being taken care of by his elder brother for the first time.

This elder brother has not seen each other for a long time, but Cheng Zhen has always missed him.

"Squad leader...what's the matter with the scar on your face?"

"..." The man was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes that were soft just now dimmed instantly, the scars snaked silently in the tough flesh, with cruelty in the bleakness, the man was silent for a while before saying: "I...after being demobilized, I have encountered some things, and I will tell you later."

A gust of wind blows, carrying the dryness and coldness of a desert night.

They pressed against each other tightly, exchanging breaths, and warming each other, but Cheng Zhen didn't get an answer from the man after all.

"When is the future?" Cheng Zhen looked into the man's eyes with concern.

"Next time... there is a chance..." The man's eyes passed through Cheng Zhen, and the focus seemed to be on the misty distance.

Cheng Zhen was silent when he heard the words. Since the squad leader didn't want to talk about the origin of the scar, he wouldn't go into it.

But Cheng Zhen knew that standing in front of him were his comrades-in-arms, his teacher, and his elder brother. No matter what happened, this person would not be easily knocked down.

Cheng Zhen has a natural sense of smell for human beings.The squad leader's enthusiasm that once radiated and warmed him seemed to have disappeared without a trace at the moment of first meeting, leaving only a crushed body.The squad leader who is hugging him now seems to have returned some shadows from the past, but he knows that the squad leader is not the same after all.

The two let go of their arms, Cheng Zhen restrained his mind, and said to the man, "Rong Zhongxin was sitting in that plane just now."

"what?"

"Rong Zhong is sitting in the downed plane." Cheng Zhen jumped up and jumped out of the shoulder-high edge of the bunker: "We have to go over!"

The man supported the sand on the edge with his hands, and followed Cheng Zhen to turn over and climb out of the trench.Cheng Zhen looked at the moving figure and asked suspiciously: "Squad leader, have you not upgraded your physical fitness?"

There was a wry smile on the man's face: "I just used it to complete a few important things, and the balance is insufficient."

Cheng Zhen didn't ask what was the big deal, he took the man's hand and rushed towards the place where the plane crashed.My own pace is much faster than his, so let him keep up with my own speed.

The two took cover along the tallest sand dunes along the way, and marched rapidly to the not far from where the plane crashed.Cheng Zhen was about to rush across the wilderness, but he was grabbed by a big hand beside him, and the two of them bent their bodies and retreated into the shade of an almost dry oasis next to it.

"Squad leader, what are you doing?" Cheng Zhen asked.

"I want to ask you why?" The man frowned and looked at Cheng Zhen.

The wind and sand in the desert has always been harsh, and the whistling sound carried the dust like shaking the dead branches beside the two of them.

"To save people." Cheng Zhen answered as it should.

"Don't move..." The man lowered his voice, and the resolute lines on his face outlined his coldness: "You just said that you came here to save people?"

"Yes."

"I don't agree," the man's eyes gradually became sharper in the darkness, like a beast showing its fangs: "We should lurk here and wait for the person who really wants to kill Rong Zhongxin to appear, or wait for the owner of other planes Appear and kill it!"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Zhen asked suspiciously: "There will be other plane owners coming?"

"Didn't you find out? The owner of the plane communicator who wanted to kill Rong Zhongxin could have killed Rong Zhongxin in a more covert way...but why did he make such a big fuss? Killing tourists from other countries during the exercise is something that can be recognized internationally. It’s a big news, doesn’t the owner of the Plane Connector want to hide his existence? Why would he do that? And it costs universe coins, have you thought about it?”

Cheng Zhen nodded: "I thought about it, but I don't understand."

"This is clearly a bureau; a bureau that invites you into the urn; it is a bureau set up by one of the plane owners against other holders! I didn't understand it before I came here, and I didn't know that there were military exercises here, but when it comes to the place...you yourself Think with your head!"

"But..." Cheng Zhen was silent for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Saving people is the most important thing."

The man grabbed Cheng Zhen who was about to rush out: "Stop!"

It is very easy to get rid of a man by force, but Cheng Zhen can't shake off the monitor's hand.

"Don't worry, Rong Zhongxin won't die." There was a gloomy look in the man's eyes, "Since it's a game, how could 'that person' let the bait fail so easily?" "In the end...it depends on where Rong Zhongxin falls Who has it. Damn, hold your breath!"

"Yes." Cheng Zhen's voice sounded a little dull.

He was very anxious, but he still had to admit that the squad leader was right.

Four years have passed, and it turns out that I am still not as good as the monitor.The gap between men is sometimes so obvious that some people can't catch up with their innate deliberation even if they try their best.

While the two were talking in a low voice, a black spot appeared from a distance in the wilderness in front of them.

Cheng Zhen hastily turned on his deep hearing... and judged the sound of the engine, it was a field jeep.

Sure enough, the car body that appeared on the horizon soon became clearer and clearer. With the hood open and music playing in the car, it was staggering towards the wreckage of the plane exposed in the wilderness!

Two foreign soldiers with guns jumped out of the jeep in the field. After a while, they used some kind of tool to pry open the undeformed plane door, and murmured a few words into it, but Cheng Zhen couldn't understand.

The last conversation seemed to turn into a quarrel. The two soldiers looked at each other, and at the same time, they got into the cabin and pulled out a man covered in blood... Cheng Zhen hid in the dark and saw clearly—— - That man is Rong Zhongxin!

Rong Zhongxin's situation didn't look good, the Qingjun he remembered before had completely disappeared, and now he looked embarrassed and tired.

Fortunately... Cheng Zhen observed his whole body... Rong Zhongxin was only injured, but it should be a skin trauma.Although the bleeding was scary, Rong Zhongxin was still able to walk on his own.

After being escorted into the jeep, the car drove away slowly.

Cheng Zhen and the squad leader quietly followed the jeep under the cover of dust and exposed rocks all around at a distance.

After more than an hour of trekking, they followed the ruts that had not been swallowed by the wind and sand, and finally found Rong Zhongxin's trace.

It was a lookout tower built on a rock.

The cooperation between him and the squad leader was a tacit understanding cultivated in countless battles. The two did not talk to each other, each holding a gun, and sneaked over from different directions.

The squad leader gave him a sign of "enter". Cheng Zhen adjusted the gun and put it on his back, like a climbing gecko, he quickly climbed up the bare wall perpendicular to the horizon. The three-meter-high window was turned in, and no one paid attention to him. As he expected, there was no guard on the 'floor' he entered.

The interior of the watchtower is a simple concrete structure. With a gun in his hand, Cheng Zhen searched up and down the corridor quietly, but found no trace of Rong Zhongxin.Strange, the car is clearly parked below.

Sneaking to the wall of the window, the squad leader was still waiting for news from him, Cheng Zhen made a gesture, which meant: Rong Zhongxin is not here, withdraw!

The squad leader shook his head, and passed the message to Cheng Zhen again: I'm coming in too!

Cheng Zhen didn't know the squad leader's plan, he obeyed the order and dived to the bottom floor—as expected, there were two foreign soldiers guarding him.Cheng Zhen sneaked up from behind and knocked one unconscious with the butt of his gun. As soon as the other one reacted, Cheng Zhen pointed a gun to his head.

Cheng Zhen slowly opened the door with his foot, and the squad leader rushed in quickly.He didn't know where to take out a handkerchief, and stuffed it down the soldier's throat. Cheng Zhen found a rope and tied up the sober man.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Zhen asked in a low voice, "Rong Zhongxin is not here."

"Didn't you notice? This is the geographical center of the exercise! According to the tossing method of that 'that person' conducting a military exercise, he is definitely very happy psychologically. He likes to show off and thinks he is the judge. Look at the terrain here. Is it... the watchtower stands here like a fortress, it's like a execution platform."

"What do you mean?"

"On the highest point of the watchtower, there was a man standing there. He couldn't see clearly, but he was definitely not a patrolling soldier. He saw us, but he didn't raise the alarm. Standing there looking down on us is like looking down on two ants! "

"..."

"He is definitely the owner of the plane contact device! He is waiting for us to find him! He is provoking us! Let's go!"

The two rushed to the top floor with guns on their backs.

There was no obstruction along the way, and the bell tower-like top is a colorful ceiling with tribal characteristics, which has been mostly discolored.In the wide space, a huge clock hangs alone, and the eight pillars on the top floor support the unique arched spire.

I saw a man standing at the highest point of the watchtower, his shadow was reflected in the moonlight, his back showed a straight curve, he seemed not to care about the snipers behind him, and was still admiring the dead and dark night scene of the desert.

Cheng Zhen and the squad leader quickly divided up and formed a triangle formation, aiming all their guns at the man standing with his hands behind his back.

"Come?" The deep voice echoed in the silent night, looking cold.

Cheng Zhen and the squad leader looked at each other.

The man turned his head with a smile on his lips.

The breathtaking eyes are full of arrogance and arrogance, like a cluster of flames tearing through the desolation.

"Who should I be? It's the two of you."

Cheng Zhen and the squad leader shouted in unison: "Company commander?!"
