Abandoned Lover [Future]
Chapter 24
"That's why I say that the gladiatorial fight is just a scam."
As Eugene said so, he showed a smile without a smile on his face.He was still facing Xiao, but the focus of his sight slowly moved away, and he inevitably remembered the past.
... The reason why he joined the army in the first place was actually a prerequisite for making a wish.
The female general requires him to make a wish only after the gatekeeper has served for a certain number of years.At that time, Eugene didn't understand why she made this request, and even hated her for it.But thinking about it later, she was just doing it for his own good.
After all, most people who make a wish to an inheritance don't end well.
"Then why are you participating in the wrestling this time?" Xiao Xin knew that the question he most wanted to ask might be too sensitive, so he asked Eugene another question.
"It's just delaying time." Eugene refocused his attention and turned his neck from side to side: "I have tried other ways to buy time from the academy, but they all failed. The ship I want to board can only last a year Come to Green Star twice, just after your scheduled destruction day. Only this ship can safely send us out of the center."
This light sentence hides what Eugene has never mentioned before, the huge dedication, and Xiao didn't know how to respond for a while.
However, Eugene's purpose of saying this was not to seek Xiao's gratitude, and his thoughts were still occupied by the next plan.
The hub is the central circle of the livable zone where the green star is located, and it is also where 60.00% of the population of the alliance is located.This part of the territory is covered by the alliance's most powerful defense "net", which can theoretically perfectly resist all enemy attacks.
However, this "net" known to every citizen in the alliance is actually one of the legacy left over from the beginning.
The alliance has no way to hide it, one is because the defense system is extremely huge, and the other is because they don't know how to manipulate it until now.Now the government will use it to limit the transition paths of some ships, and by the way, control/control the population going to and from the population center.
After Eugene made up his mind to let Xiao go free, he thought through many plans, and finally made the decision to let Xiao stay away from Green Star.It's just that Xiao's identity is too special, and ordinary starships can't take him away from the center at all, unless he asks for help from old acquaintances.
When he thought about this, he suddenly realized that he could actually go together.
So in the end, it was said that Xiao was given freedom, but in fact he was given freedom for himself.
On the day of his official departure, Eugene felt a strange sense of relief, but also a heartfelt sadness.It has been 13 years since he returned to Green Star last time.He came empty-handed and left empty-handed.
This made him involuntarily reach out his left hand to the backpack beside him.When he felt the shape of the clay pot inside, Eugene could hardly hold back the sudden tears in his eyes.
In the past 13 years, he didn't get what he wanted, but turned the person who accompanied him back to Green Star into a handful of ashes.
And Xiao sat directly opposite him, and didn't miss his extremely brief gaffe.
……
It was not yet noon when the aircraft stopped in front of the emerald bay port.Eugene took out a hat and sunglasses from his backpack and put them on, and even found a black wig to help Xiao hide his striking long blonde hair.
He walked to the cargo area of the ship port familiarly.The starship here is different from the manned ship, and the style looks more square.Beside the wide open hatch, the robots are quickly and orderly loading and unloading the goods from all over the alliance, and there are hardly any traces of humans.
The newly obtained terminals of the two allowed them to pass through the security checks smoothly, until they arrived at a parking area in the corner that looked extraordinarily quiet.
A medium-sized, weather-beaten-looking cargo ship was parked there.On its mottled exterior, the words "Red Squirrel" were painted in orange anti-corrosion paint.
The rear cargo door of the "Red Squirrel" was closed, but the side access door was ajar.Leaning against the door was a slender man in a dirty linen shirt and brown trousers, with a fur-brimmed cowboy hat covering his face and neck, and seemed to be dozing off.
When Eugene saw the other party, he couldn't help showing a smile, stopped in his tracks, and took off his sunglasses.
He thought he could simply say hello, but now that his mouth is open, it is unexpectedly difficult to make a sound.
After taking a deep breath, he was finally able to smile and say, "Long time no see, Miles."
The dozing man's body shook, and the cowboy hat fell off his face.The man who woke up quickly caught it with his backhand and put it on his head.
The man has reddish-brown mid-length hair and warm brown eyes. Although he is not particularly young, he is quite handsome.If Eugene's usual demeanor seemed careless and easy-going, this man's laziness was [-] points heavier, like the typical playboy cowboy in retro western movies.
Hearing Eugene's voice, the man named Miles raised one corner of his mouth and strode towards Eugene.He stretched out a hand and pulled Eugene into his arms forcefully.Chest against chest, Miles raised his other hand and tousled Eugene's hair easily.
"If you don't call me out, I won't be able to recognize you." He observed Eugene's face from too close a distance, and smiled full of anger: "Surprised to see me? From Jensen After receiving the news, I specifically told the captain to let me come this time."
"Jensen told me a long time ago. You didn't let him keep it a secret, did you?" Eugene still smiled and narrowed his eyes a little.
"How can he be such a disappointment every time..." Miles clicked his tongue, and finally realized that there was someone else standing beside Eugene.While looking at Xiao with great interest, he asked Eugene: "This is the goods you are going to smuggle this time? It looks really good."
Eugene's expression was a little helpless: "Don't call him cargo. His name is Xiao."
Miles shrugged: "It's still so serious." After saying this, the red-haired man introduced himself generously to Xiao: "Hi, I'm Miles Mi, a combatant of the Rift Le, is an honorable interstellar pirate, and now serves as the supply officer of the Red Squirrel."
"Should I give a salute or something?" Miles said, spreading his hands and bowing his head, making an exaggerated curtsy.It was obviously an exaggerated move, but it was unexpectedly suitable for him.
At the same time as he was doing this, on the back of Miles' neck, a dazzling red brand also showed half of the outline.
——It is exactly the same as the brand mark on Eugene's lower back.
Perhaps because the area of the branding pattern is too large compared to the skin on the back of the neck, the English characters and the outline of the frame fell on the side of the neck.The burn marks looked obviously uneven, especially terrifying and hideous.
Xiao's breathing froze for a moment.While smiling politely at Miles, he quickly processed the information in front of him in his mind.
He already knew the meaning of this brand—it was the alliance's number one star thief, the slave brand of Gao Ge's ship.When he first saw this mark on Eugene's waist, he can still vividly see the shock he suffered.However, he hadn't gotten close to Eugene at that time, so naturally he didn't have the position to ask.Because Eugene's former job was in the military, Xiao explained to himself, maybe Eugene was accidentally captured by the Star Thief during a certain mission.
But now it seems that is not the case at all.
The Rift that Miles mentioned was Gogo's main ship, and Eugene and Miles had a deep relationship at first glance.
... Unable to logically deduce Eugene's past smoothly, a sense of impotence and anxiety gradually emerged, which was forcibly broken up by Xiao.
The biochemical man's seemingly indistinguishable attitude failed to escape Eugene's eyes.No matter how decently Xiao behaved, the time his eyes fell on Miles' neck was still too long.
When Miles greeted the two of them into the cabin of the Red Squirrel, Eugene withdrew his smile, and said to Xiao in a low voice: "If you have any questions, I will try my best when I am free later." explain to you."
Shaw watched as the smile on Eugene's face slowly faded as he was alone with him.
He nodded.
……
Miles is naturally not the only person on the Red Squirrel.As one of the supply ships of the Rift, the Red Squirrel has a fixed crew of 6. According to the purchase and delivery of goods, escort officers and supply officers will be sent from the Rift from time to time, just like this time. myles.Eugene didn't have much friendship with the crew on the Red Squirrel. After greeting them, he helped Miles prepare for takeoff while chatting with him.
"I thought you guys would arrive in two days." Eugene stood in front of the status panel of the cargo hold, quickly checking the coefficients of temperature, pressure and so on. "When I contacted Jensen before, the fastest estimated time would be the day after tomorrow."
"The original flight schedule is like that, I changed it." Miles adjusted the switches of several engines, "Do you think everyone doesn't watch gladiatorial fights? We don't want you to fight again."
Miles' voice at this time was very calm, and his attitude towards the equipment was similar to that of two people.Finding that Eugene had stopped talking, Miles turned around and pinched Eugene's face: "What's your expression? I'm here to pick you up, okay?"
"...Sorry." Eugene didn't feel embarrassed by being treated like a child, and his expression looked a little guilty.
"It's just to speed up the schedule for two days, and by the way, make up the needed supplies before coming to Green Star. Only in this way can we pick you up and leave." Myers finished the work in his hand, with an expression on his face. Reverted to the kind of hippie smile before: "So what's the matter with that cyborg? Is your date good? The people on the boat would be crazy if they knew, and many people still want to wait for you to come back as their pair."
Something in that sentence seemed to stung Eugene.He lowered his head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his chest. "...not what you think. He's just a..."
what is it then?Eugene was suddenly speechless.
They cannot be lovers, let alone family members.At the end of the day, there is only one word to use.
It's a pity that he made a decision long ago, and when he really said it, he still felt a little ironic.
"It's just friends."
Eugene gave a self-deprecating smile.
Miles nodded: "Yes."
Then he raised his eyes and gave the cyborg behind Eugene a playful smile.
