I heard you want to let me down

Gu Yu sat in the dark.

Those who can successfully graduate from the First Military Academy will have the qualifications of non-commissioned officers as soon as they join the army. What's more, his combat performance in the past few months has been outstanding and he has made many meritorious deeds.Now that the situation has slowed down a bit, the rewards will come down immediately.Although he is still a student who has not graduated from the First Military Academy, he can enjoy the treatment of a second lieutenant in the unit he is destined to enter.In the military fortress currently guarding, Gu Yu has a small room.The army is harsh and poor, the room is very small, there is only a desk, a bed and a small cabinet inside, which is simpler than his dormitory in the military academy, but at least it is a private space.

He can sit in the dark for a while during the rest after preparing for the battle, take a look at his own optical brain, and let all the collapse and weakness be invisible.

A day of prep can't knock him down.Even in the past, when the situation was the most tense, he had not been so exhausted after three days of continuously attacking, resisting, and brushing past the howling god of death.It was as if all the strength and vitality were sucked away in an instant.

……

On the day when he told Gu Yu the news, Rong Yi was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he persuaded him earnestly, but he didn't know which words worked. Gu Yu nodded and agreed that he would wait for the news quietly and never mess around.At first, Rong Yi was afraid that he was just pretending to agree, so he paid attention to Gu Yu for a few days, and found that Gu Yu didn't lie to him.He seemed to have calmed down, and there was no mistake in the task left by the officer, it was just more silent and cold.

A few days later, they did receive good news.

The federal government had learned about the attack on the people transferred from Haijixing early in the morning. Now that the war with the alien race has slowed down, it finally freed up its hands to find trouble with the pirate forces that belonged to the pirate spaceships that fished in troubled waters.The army found their lair, and this time the Federation was completely enraged, and the attack was extremely severe.The pirates persisted for a month relying on the familiar terrain, and finally issued a signal to surrender, and there was news that they had the captives captured that day in their hands.

After the news spread, those whose relatives and friends disappeared during the transfer rushed over one after another.

Everyone, full of uneasiness and excitement, hoped that there would be someone they were waiting for inside.But good luck did not come to the Rong family.There was neither Rong Jin nor Uncle Wu in it.

Gu Yu looked at the news that popped up in Guang Guang's mind.That was the result of the final confirmation by the people sent by the Rong family.

No one is inside.

Gu Yu looked at the message without blinking, all feelings and emotions left him for a moment.He sat on the bed blankly, the lights in the room were not turned on, there was no light at all, and his whole body was wrapped in darkness.

If it wasn't in the hands of pirates, if the Federation couldn't find him, where is he now?Where is the little rescue capsule he was in now?

It has been almost half a year since Rong Jin had an accident.The energy of the rescue capsule can support floating in space for up to five days.Did it hit the ground, or did it lose its way and become a rock in space after its energy was exhausted, or was it completely blown up before its energy was exhausted?

Gu Yu didn't dare to think about it.

As long as he thinks about it, his heart will be pierced like a knife.

Even if the rescue capsule was lucky enough to escape the stray bullets of the pirates and the ubiquitous rocks in space, it could land on a planet before the energy was exhausted. On the desolate star of contact.Can Rong Jin survive on such a perilous primitive planet?

How likely is this?

No one dared to bet on this possibility.All their hopes are placed in the pirate camp!But there was no Rong Jin in it.

Gu Yu sat in the dark.These days, the abyssal monster that had been hidden in his heart, and which made him feel terrified even at a glance, finally revealed its true colors.

Rong Jin is probably dead.

Rong Jin had an accident this time, no one blamed him.Rong Yi will notify him as soon as he receives the news, and is still thinking about his future.Rong's mother called him before, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she couldn't wipe them off, but she didn't say a word of blame, but kept comforting him.But Gu Yu knew in his heart that Rong Jin never went out, and the reason why he came to Haijixing was to look for him.

He is here for me.But I didn't contact him that day.

Gu Yu thought blankly: He was waiting for me in Haijixing, waiting for me to meet me when I was on vacation, but I didn't go that day.

This idea appeared in his mind uncontrollably, intense pain and self-blame suddenly swept through his nerves, and the pain concretely spread to his body, making him retch uncontrollably, forcing him to bend down, and even slipped off the bed.

He supported the ground with his hands in embarrassment, so as not to completely collapse, and his whole body almost convulsed.He remained in that position until the alarm clock rang.

He stood up tremblingly, washed briefly, put on his military cap, and looked at himself in the mirror behind the door: "It's okay, I will go find him."

Until the day you find it.

What Rong Yi said that day was correct, even if he was alone, even if he really risked his life and was accused of desertion, it would not be of any help to find Rong Jin.He used to think that he already had some ability and some capital.He thought that he could be with Rong Jin, protect him and take care of him, and get enough military merit so that Rong Jin could be with him without any worries.It wasn't until something happened to Rong Jin that he realized that he was still incompetent.Compared with the little kid who studied hard, hoping to win a place for his mother, there is no progress.

But he also has things he can do.

The person he wanted to protect back then jumped down from upstairs, and he couldn't bring it back anymore, and the person he wanted to protect for the rest of his life, as long as there was any possibility, he couldn't give up.

When Gu Yu came out from the officer, the people behind caught up with him and put their arms around him: "Hey, this war is almost over, have you figured out what to do next, kid? It's time to go back to school and finish your homework. Or are you directly recruiting into the army?"

Gu Yu turned around and glanced at Karl: "I have already submitted the application to join the army."

Karl was his instructor at the time of the training camp. Later, when we went to the front line together, we naturally became brothers who died together.

Carl's eyes lit up, and he agreed very much: "I knew it! What's the school to do?! Have you figured out where to go? Now you almost know the situation of the Fifth Army. Let me tell you, our third division The seventh regiment inside is the well-known forward regiment in the entire military headquarters, if you want to accumulate more military exploits, you must join this regiment! Let me tell you about our regiment carefully."

Gu Yu said calmly: "I plan to join the exploration team."

Carl was stunned, he forgot to land on the steps he took, and asked with a frown, "Which team are you joining?"

"Exploration team."

Carl looked at Gu Yu for a long time, and realized that he was really not joking, his eyes almost popped out, and he chased him all the way to persuade him.Gu Yu listened quietly and only walked forward.

Seeing that he couldn't change Gu Yu's mind, Karl was heartbroken: "What the hell, you have studied for so many years, and you came out of the No. [-] Military Academy where no one stays, and you almost lost your life several times on the battlefield this time. , Just to join the Expeditionary Team?! Then you might as well go back to study, you! What the hell is the Expeditionary Team? If you don’t mention it, I will almost forget that there is such a team.”

The exploration team belongs to the military in name, but to be honest, it may be more inclined to a certain branch of the research institution, which is under the jurisdiction of the government.Because as the name suggests, the mission of this exploration team is to explore the interstellar space outside the Federation, to explore and count galaxies that humans have never set foot on.This was originally a very meaningful thing. In the distant past, the Federal General Administration of Exploration at that time was also a well-known institution in the Federation.For the survival and glory of all mankind, many outstanding soldiers and scientific researchers set foot in space, looking for more resources and more living space.

But the problem is that it's different now.The existing technology of the Federation has almost reached the extreme when the field has been expanded to this point. If it expands further, the cost will become very high.More importantly, looking at the overall strength of the entire Federation, it has a vast field and abundant resources, which can fully meet the needs of the Federation.

Now for the entire Federation, the most important thing is not to explore the Outlands, but to fight with alien races.In the short term, or in other words, in the long term, the Federation has no plans to expand outward.

Just because of the glory and glory of the past, the exploration team has never been cancelled, the funds are abundant, and soldiers are recruited every year to escort researchers to missions.However, as time went by, it became more and more difficult to recruit people.Up to now, there are only a few scattered teams left, with three or four people in each team.Withering so far, it is useless.

In the eyes of soldiers like Karl who resisted alien races and encircled and suppressed pirates, the mission of the exploration team was to go out and wander around, and the risk of this kind of wandering was quite high.

Every time the exploration team travels far, they have to prepare for a long time and bring excellent equipment and weapons, but they still fail to come back.It's a waste of money and a waste of life. Tell me, isn't this nonsense?

Now this year's entry, his most promising seedling, actually told him that he was going to the Exploration Team?

"Don't you want to accumulate military merits and marry a wife? You joined the expedition team, and after working for a lifetime, you will be a captain at most!"

The corner of Gu Yu's mouth twitched: "There's no need to save."

Carl was taken aback, looked at Gu Yu's increasingly cold and pale face recently, and tentatively said: "Even if she dumped you mercilessly, you don't have to give up on yourself like this!"

Gu Yu didn't explain, just smiled at Carl: "Instructor, thank you for taking care of me these days."

Carl didn't want this kind of thanks at all, and angrily shook his hat and left.

After Carl, many people came to persuade him one after another.After all, Gu Yu was born in the No. [-] Military Academy, and his record was outstanding. Many people hoped to get him into their camp.In the end, who knew that such a good seed would want to join the exploration team?

Gu Yu was silent and resolutely declined everyone.

Three days later, Gu Yu opened the door at night and found Rong Yi standing outside his door with a complicated expression: "Your enlistment order has come down. It will be sent to your brain later."

Gu Yu nodded, without asking which team it was, let the door open: "Thank you, Second Brother."

Rong Yi looked at this young man who could even be said to be immature in the army, he felt as if he was meeting Gu Yu for the first time: "Why do you want to join the exploration team?"

Gu Yu's voice was calm: "The aviation expedition equipment of the exploration team is good enough and can travel far enough. I want to go to the star field outside the Federation to have a look."

"You have to think clearly, this cannot be changed. In the exploration team, your future is probably limited."

No, it can be said that in the exploration team, there is no future at all.

Gu Yu suddenly laughed, like anger, but also like helplessness: "Second brother, many people have come to me these days. Maybe I do have a little talent, or maybe it's because of the face of the Rong family. Open your mouths You keep talking about the future with me, but you also want to talk about the future with me? But the future is meaningless to me. "

Rong Yi closed his eyes: "You want to find him yourself. You haven't given up on this idea yet."

Gu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Rong Yi: "Yes. Why did you give up? It is possible for him to land on the deserted star, isn't it?! It is possible! There is a one in ten thousand, one in ten million chance, how can you give up ?”

Rong Yi said wearily: "The family has sent someone, and they have been looking for it."

Since their accident, the government's search and rescue work has almost stopped.But the people of the Rong family are still insisting.But after half a year of searching in the dark, there was no progress at all.In this situation, even their closest relatives are completely desperate.

He actually didn't believe that Rong Jin was still alive.But no one dared to say to stop the search and rescue. It seemed that if they didn't speak, there was still hope.

"But the equipment of the exploration team is more advanced and complete. Compared with exploring the outer domain, no one will be faster and more powerful than the exploration team." Gu Yu opened his closet, "I really want to use it for private use. But I will do it well The task is stricter and harder than the standard. Then, I also look for the young master."

Rong Yi watched him tidy up: "Even if Ah Jin landed on the desolate star, there are tens of thousands of desolate stars outside the federation. If you are alone, how many can you find in this lifetime?"

Gu Yu has already packed his backpack, which is loose, with only a little clothes on it.He is very calm: "I will always find him. Ten years, 20 years, 100 years. If not in life, then after death."

"Second brother, I am willing to die for the federation. If it really comes to the time of alien attack and life and death, I will definitely go to the battlefield. I will only fulfill my duty if I die without a whole body. But now, I don't think there is anything that the federation needs me for." There are a lot of excellent soldiers in the local area and the Federation, and I'm just the most insignificant one of them. Now, Ah Jin needs me more."

Rong Yi was silent for a moment, shook his head, and smiled wryly: "I didn't come to stop you. If I wanted to stop you, I wouldn't come to you until the enlistment order came down."

"I'm just here to tell you all these words. Ah Jin likes you very much, and I don't want to make you regret it in the future."

Gu Yu smiled slightly: "I won't regret it."

Rong Yi wiped his face, his voice was a little hoarse: "Gu Yu, thank you. Really. Thank you."

Gu Yu shook his head: "Second brother, you don't have to thank me, it's what I should have done."

"Finding him and bringing him back is what I have to do."
