Dawn Sleep

The wind and snow finally became much lighter, but the night has not passed yet.

The surroundings were very quiet. Lying in Xuejiu's treatment cabin, Jiang Jianming, whose physical strength was gradually recovering, suddenly felt confused.

He kept replaying in his mind the way Garcia finally pushed himself into the treatment cabin and closed the hatch smoothly.

——I felt as if I was a domestic pet on the run, and now it was caught by the owner, so I took it back to the den and locked it up.

"..."

Jiang Jianming was expressionless.

Although he used to have a close relationship with Prince Lai'an as a commoner, he was far from being reduced to the "canary in a cage".

He was so upset by his inexplicable brain-making and metaphors that he couldn't lie down in the treatment cabin.

So a series of treatment processes such as infusion and oxygen inhalation were stopped from the inside, and the hatch was opened.

The first thing Jiang Jianming did when he came out was to manipulate Xuejiu to irradiate the spider corpse with curing rays.

——Desperately killed this B-grade subspecies, it would be too bad if it didn't complete the collection of true crystal ore from the corpse before the crystal particles dissipated.

He struggled to throw the condensed true crystal ore into the snow dove storage bin, and then turned on the mecha video, taking a picture around the wreckage of the alien creature.

After doing this, Jiang Jianming finally wobbled and sat down against the spider corpse.

His Royal Highness doesn't like to leave an uneasy and uncertain tail when doing things.

He felt that after Garcia completed the rescue of other teams, he would still come back to him.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips. When the man saw him coming out of the treatment cabin, he didn't know what funny expression he would show...

In a daze, he always felt that he had forgotten something.

But Jiang Jianming has confidence in his memory. Since it is something he can't remember, it shouldn't be a big deal.

... Forget it, if you can't figure it out or can't think of it, don't think about it first. This is one of his long-standing habits.

Jiang Jianming turned sideways and decided to sleep first.

……

At the same time, the other end of the canyon exited.

The rest of the third team, who Jiang Jianming had completely forgotten, had already set up marching tents and settled the wounded.

Tang Zhen sent the coordinates and details to the fortress again. This time, he can finally wait for rescue with peace of mind.

however……

Outside the tent, Li Youfang, Qiao and Ellie looked at each other in the dark.

The expression was one of panic and panic, as if the three of them were the ones who were left behind.

"No, I have to go back and have a look."

Li Youfang's face changed a few times, he turned his head and walked towards his shock, gritted his teeth. "I——I can't be a coward who refuses to save my teammates, I won't do it!"

Qiao stopped him, and whispered eagerly: "Li, don't be stupid, doesn't Jiang Jianming have a very powerful mecha? He won't die even if we are all dead! Maybe he has flown back to the fortress now, you In the past, that big guy took you..."

It was fine if he didn't speak, but Li Youfang was furious on the spot when he said that, and yelled at Qiao, "Shut up! Don't you know what you did!?"

"Jiang Jianming's mecha was directly sent down the mountain by you, who knows how he is doing now!"

Li Youfang scratched his hair anxiously, "What if... what if he was seriously injured, what if he passed out!? He's just a crippled human being..."

Joe cried and said, "Then he's already dead now! It's too late for you to go!"

Li Youfang didn't care, turned his head away with his neck stuck, squatted down in front of his shock, and started to replace the mecha with backup energy.

"Forget it...forget it, Li."

Ellie also stumbled to dissuade: "Joe is right...you will turn back now, and you will only be eaten by the subspecies. We should hurry up and join the rescue of the fortress, and ask the officer to save people."

"I……"

Li Youfang rolled his Adam's apple, closed the energy tank of the mecha, raised his head, and was suddenly hit by the wind.

His nose was sore, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he muttered to himself: "I have to go...I haven't had time to pay back his money yet."

Qiao panicked even more: "But, you, how am I going to explain to Tang Zhen when you're gone!? He and Jiang Jianming are so good, if I know—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw that Ellie's expression on the opposite side changed, and she was still winking at him frantically.

"..."

No way.

With a chill behind Joe, he turned his head stiffly...

At the entrance of the tent, Tang Zhen stood there upright, the blood on his face was clearly fading to the naked eye.

He said blankly: "You... what are you talking about?"

……

Between the dark mountains, two IP planes galloped at full speed, passing through the canyon when they came.

"Tang Town...Tang Town!!"

Li Youfang was anxious and angry, and shouted at the back, "Calm down, Tang Zhen!!"

The electrified cockpit lights up, and the mech runs wildly.

On the screen, the surrounding scenery moves backwards rapidly.

"Li Youfang...! You fucking listen to me..."

Tang Zhen's panting and almost violent voice came from the communication channel, "If...if something happens to Xiao Jiang, I will not let you go...!"

Just as he was rushing back crazily with the electric shock.

In the endless night, Tang Zhen thought of the past.

In fact, when he was in the Kaios Military Academy, many people were always curious about why he, a noble son of the imperial capital, ran after a handicapped roommate every day.

Still worrying about worrying about that, looking like an old woman when buying tranquilizers for people.

Only Tang Zhen himself knew that it was Jiang Jianming who pulled him out of the mud back then.

It doesn't seem accurate to say that, it's better to say that he was able to get out of the mud step by step by following Jiang Jianming back then.

He was 16 years old that year, full of childish enthusiasm, dreaming every day of rushing to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.For this reason, he quarreled with his father, quarreled with his mother, and even hit his grandfather, Mr. Tang.

The conflict with his family reached its peak when he applied for the Kaios Military Academy but was transferred to the Sixth Logistics Academy.

Every time Tang Zhen thought about it later, he had to admit that it was the most unbearable period of his life.

He yelled at the college, deleted his parents' newsletter, swears like street gangsters, skipped school to get drunk and fight...

As if deliberately going against the words "genius", "noble son", "family hope" and turning into a depraved trash to get revenge on something.

Until one day, probably the academy finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Instructor Luo Hai called him to the tactical confrontation simulation classroom of the military academy.

Tang Zhen arrived 10 minutes late on purpose, rubbed his face when he entered the door, and acted like a domineering bastard.

But he found that there was another person waiting for him there.

It was a boy who was about the same age as him, only fifteen or sixteen years old in appearance.

The young man has black hair and black eyes, wearing a very simple white shirt, holding a cup of coffee with milk in both hands, his eyebrows and eyes are extremely delicate.

He raised his face expressionlessly to look at the teacher who was more than a head taller than him, and said seriously, "Teacher Luo, as I said, you can't summon students anytime and anywhere like this...I still want to read."

Instructor Luo Hai was annoyed and funny, and pointed to Tang Zhen who had just opened the door and walked in: "Win him a game, I will give you a one-day teacher's permission in the reference room of the Keos Military Academy, that's fine."

Turning his head, Luo Hai pointed at the young man and said to Tang Zhen, "Beat him by one game, and I will transfer you to the First Court."

The black-haired boy glanced at him indifferently, slowly put the milk coffee aside, and stood on the side of the battle simulator.

Tang Zhen couldn't pretend to be "ruthless and ferocious", he saw the young man's wrist in astonishment, it was a crippled human being.

His first reaction was to frown - grab a crippled human being and fight him in a simulated battle, what kind of shit teacher, how can he bully people like this! ?

But as soon as these words reached his throat, Tang Shao remembered that he was playing a "degenerate trash" now, not a righteous boy.

He forcibly swallowed the grievances back into his stomach, and rolled his eyes with contempt instead.

The boy opposite stood still, but instead patted the simulator and said to him, "Good classmate, please hurry up."

Tang Zhen gritted his teeth and got on the plane.

I won't be fooled by bitter tricks, bitter tricks!

The game didn't last 10 minutes.

Tang Zhen stared blankly at the word "defeated" flashing in front of him, and fell into confusion.

He...he lost?

Yes, but how did he lose? ?

His opponent was slow, gentle and weak, who would have thought that he would use his troops quickly as soon as he got on the plane, and he was completely wiped out before he could react.

Tang Zhen was not reconciled, and slapped the machine: "I underestimated the enemy, let's play another round!"

The boy on the opposite side turned his head to look at Teacher Luo Hai, with a clear voice: "Can the rewards be stacked?"

The corner of Luo Hai's mouth twitched, and he said, "Yes."

8 minute later.

"Come again!"

Another 13 minutes later.

"Again... come again!!"

10 minutes.

"I... stupid!? I don't believe it anymore, come again!!"

They played a full twelve rounds that day, and Young Master Tang played a new way of defeat in each round, which was really miserable.

In the end, the young man waved his hand first, and got off the phone calmly: "I'm tired, let's do this for today... I'm going to get sick if I keep fighting."

Outside the window, the sun was setting and the mountains were setting, and two crows stood on the branches, laughing mercilessly.

Young Master Tang sat down on the ground in a daze.

He felt like he had turned into a gray-white stone statue.

Teacher Luo Hai was not surprised, squinting his eyes and asked the two young men: "How does it feel?"

Tang Zhen was numb and unable to speak.

The boy on the opposite side smiled slightly, and gave him an appreciative look: "He has a good attitude, I admire him very much."

"........."

Tang Zhen's face was ashen.

At this moment, he felt that he was ridiculed by the malice of the whole world.

The black-haired boy made an appointment with the teacher to open the authority tomorrow, turned around and picked up his coffee with milk, pursed his lips and said, "...it's cold."

Luo Hai said helplessly: "It's from the coffee shop at the entrance of the library. I'll transfer the coins to you."

The boy shook his head: "

It's okay, I'll go back and cook for myself. "

Said he was going to leave.

"Hey!"

Tang Zhen couldn't help shouting from behind: "You...what's your name, which courtyard?"

The boy was pushing the door with one hand, and when he heard the sound, he looked back at him and seemed to smile again.

"The sixth courtyard, Jiang Jianming."

"It's also your roommate... Well, if you are still planning to go to this school."

Tang Zhen felt that he could remember the afterglow of the sunset that evening for a lifetime.

In this world, will there be such a person who will never be shaken by harsh external conditions?

Perhaps... There is no necessary causal relationship between what family background one was born in, which college one entered, and one's outstanding abilities.

These thoughts were all slowly figured out by Tang Zhen later.

But Young Master Tang back then was not yet old enough to drink chicken soup, so his idea was very simple——

It's stupid, what kind of genius has been praised by the surroundings for more than ten years, it turns out to be a deceitful flattery!

I can't even beat a crippled human being from the Sixth Court, so why would I want to be transferred to the First Court! ?

He stayed in the Sixth Logistics Hospital for five years.

I have been roommates with Jiang Jianming for a long time, and I have been influenced to be a little more stable.

He stopped making troubles with his family, restrained his arrogance, and looked down on admiration and honor a lot.Days passed, and before he knew it, he became the chief student of the Sixth Hospital... Although Jiang Jianming still couldn't beat Jiang Jianming in the mock battle.

He thought...

I have matured.

He thought...

I am already strong enough.

On a thundery night before setting off for Yinbeidou, he held the muzzle of the gun that Jiang Jianming handed to his forehead, and uttered wild words.

It wasn't until he actually came to the far interstellar world that the cruelty of the battlefield gave him a blow.

He couldn't keep Bei Man'er, and he couldn't keep Jiang Jianming.He moved forward impulsively, broke down emotionally, and lost his composure... Only then did he realize that he was still so incompetent.

"Ho...ho..."

Beads of sweat slipped from the tip of the nose, and the only thing left in the eardrums was his own rough panting.

Shocking had already driven to the limit speed, Tang Zhen squinted hard to look ahead, the end of the canyon had been blown up by him.

opposite……

Is that subspecies still there?Where's Xiao Jiang?

Communication has been unable to connect, estimated from the time, it is likely to be the worst result.

Thinking rationally, he really shouldn't act rashly, he can't... can't let Xiao Jiang's sacrifice... be in vain.

but……

Tang Zhen gritted his teeth, switched the mecha to flying mode, and swept over the obstacles against the wind.

Forget it, just treat him as an incompetent waste.

The mecha flew into the air, and the field of vision suddenly became clear!

The snow in the canyon melted, revealing the scorched earth after the explosion.The wreckage is piled up, and it can barely be seen which subspecies it belongs to.A very faint smell of burnt and blood, which has not been blown away by the wind.

Tang Zhen held his breath in a daze.

This is……

Could it be that the elite of the stronghold has wiped out the subspecies?

"—Tang Town!!"

With a roar behind him, Li Youfang's mecha also arrived, and he said in shock, "What's going on, has something blown up here? It doesn't look like a crystal bone."

Tang Zhen turned on the searchlight and stared down.Nothing else was important. At this moment, he just wanted to know if Jiang Jianming was safe.

He first saw the scrapped Shock Den next to the cliff.The mecha was broken badly, and there were obvious blood stains in several places.

In what state did Jiang Jianming make the last communication with them?

Tang Zhen was cold all over, he didn't dare to think about it.

There was no one in the mecha, and he did not give up on taking pictures of those severed limbs.

Li Youfang whispered: "It may have been taken away... If someone else kills the alien creature and sees Jiang Jianming, who is also Yin Beidou, then whether he is alive or... he should be taken back to the fortress."

Tang Zhen shook his head, his voice was unstable: "The trace of this explosion is a bit like a crystal particle bomb. What if the subspecies are not killed by the people in the fortress, but—"

Suddenly, his searchlight flicked!

In the distant darkness, between the overlapping spider corpses, a silhouette of a figure could be vaguely seen.

The light from the searchlight illuminated the blood-stained silver Beidou emblem on the man's military uniform.

The author has something to say: show off the young Jiang Jiang, who made the little highness "bewitched with love".

Juvenile Jiang Jiang: ...the milk coffee is cold (grievously purses his lips ((as he said, he quickly beat you up.
