Chapter 40 Chaoyang (1)

The next morning, light snow.

The scene inside Yin Beidou Fortress has been the same for decades. The elevator went up and down, and the sound of footsteps echoed loudly on the steel-paved aisle.

"Report to Major General! All low-risk areas around the fortress have been inspected twice, no high-level alien creatures appear, and no abnormal traces remain."

"Report Major General! The temporary special exploration team has set off and is exploring along the route of high-level alien creatures. There is no information coming."

On the second floor of the fortress, in Major General Xie Yuduo's office, there were more officers coming and going to report than before.

But everything is still proceeding in an orderly manner - in this universe far away from the human empire, the word fortress is like the most stable rock.

After a while, the door to the office opened, and Lieutenant Colonel Hollin came out.

After this special event, the merit statistics of several officers during the adaptation period, as well as the personnel transfer documents, have just finally been handed in.

He didn't take a few steps, and faced three middle-aged officers with disheveled faces.

One is white and strong, the other is black and thin, and the other has a large beard.

Three people, with three pairs of dead eyes, blocked Huo Lin together.

"..."

The corner of the lieutenant colonel's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that Jiang Jianming's so-called "not pitting him" might be another form of pitting him.

Officer Bai Zhuang burst into tears and said accusingly: "Huo Lin! Your mother must have known it long ago!!"

Huo Lin stretched his waist and said with an expressionless face, "I don't know anything. However, I have already said that that little bunny is not ordinary. Hmph, he eats people without spitting bones."

"Remembering a demerit once, deducting two full years of salary and merits..." The bearded officer emptied his eyes and muttered as if he had lost his soul, "Two years..."

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and the sound of military boots was very clear.

The female adjutant came over with the folder and said calmly, "Only two years' salary and military merit? The major general is really magnanimous."

The four immediately stood up straight and nodded in greeting: "Major Rita."

Rita: "You don't know what kind of people you have provoked. I thought yesterday that you would be dismissed and investigated."

"..."

Huo Lin's expression was strange, and the faces of the three officers turned even greener.

"Oh, but it may also be that the little Your Excellency has a good heart and doesn't pursue it."

The female adjutant waved her hand and walked away smartly: "In short, the officers can do it for themselves. Next time, it won't be so easy to pass."

...

Just behind a few people, in the major general's office.

Xie Yuduo drank tea with his legs crossed, and put one hand on his cheek: "I know, don't rush. When the file transfer procedures that I need to do here are completed, the person will return to your Highness..."

Xie Yuduo: "Cough, so who is now?"

The projection in front of the major general showed the vast alien sky and blowing snow, as well as the black iron building covered with a layer of light frost in the fortress.

Garcia sat there, with cold alloy steel underneath and behind him. The fine snow was blown by the wind from a distance and fell on His Highness's long hair and shoulders.

He lowered his head, glanced at the window one or two meters away from his feet, lowered his voice and said, "I haven't woken up yet."

"!?"

Xie Yuduo's eyes widened, and he patted the table and mourned on the spot: "Your Highness, you are too fast, this body can't stand it, you must be gentle!!"

Garcia frowned: "?"

Xie Yuduo forehead: "No, it's okay..."

"Last night," Garcia glanced at the escaped major general and said indifferently, "Where have you been."

Xie Yuduo's mouth froze.

He raised his eyes from the palm of his hand with a wry smile, "Your Highness is merciful, why don't you say it?"

There was a hint of self-deprecation in Garcia's eyes: "It seems to be something I shouldn't know."

Last night, when he was looking for Xie Yuduo's dignitaries, he used his wrist phone to make a projection communication.

At that time, the major general received it very quickly. It was obviously late at night, but he was dressed in neat clothes, and there was no sleepiness between his words and expressions.

As a background, the headlights in the room and the desk lights are not on, but the bedside lights are on.

- What does it mean?

His Royal Highness is not confused. This shows that Xie Yuduo went out late at night, and just came back, preparing to change clothes and go to bed.

There is no such a shocking coincidence in the world. Jiang Jianming and Xie Yuduo went out together and came back together.

"Major General, I'm curious."

Garcia tilted his head, and a small snowflake happened to land in the corner of his sharp, sneering eyes, "Prince Le'an back then was so ignorant... did he set foot on a dead end?"

"Your Highness." Xie Yuduo's voice was hoarse.

"This fortress is very good. I don't want to hate it for the time being."

Garcia raised her eyes lightly, and the cold wind from the alien star blew the hem of her graceful clothes, "...Don't force me."

He was wearing a delicate imperial imperial robe, but he was sitting alone in the corner of the steel beast-like fortress. In the early morning snow, he looked cold and lonely, as if he was far away from the world.

Xie Yuduo closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Of course, I'm not talking about you."

Instead, Garcia laughed in a low voice: "The noble general in charge of the first fortress of the Yinbei Dipper is like me... heh, I don't know anything."

He said leisurely as if relieved: "You are also very pitiful, Major General Xie."

Xie Yuduo gritted his teeth in return with a sneer: "Then you can thank you for your sympathy, Second Prince?"

Garcia was silent for a second, and then said casually: "Who sent Jiang Jianming?"

Xie Yuduo changed color and raised his voice abruptly: "His Royal Highness!"

The major general's brows were rarely stern, and he gritted his teeth: "That one has nothing to do with the base, with the royal family, or with any other forces... I can swear by the Yin Beidou military emblem."

Garcia stared at Xie Yuduo for more than ten seconds.

After that, he lifted the corners of his lips relaxedly: "Just ask casually, what are you anxious about."

Xie Yuduo sighed again and rolled his eyes - he felt that he was caught between the two, and one day he would suffer from angina.

"Anyway," Major General Xie said weakly, "this person is far purer than you think, please don't hurt him."

"..."

Garcia was silent again. This time, he set his eyes on the window below, and didn't look away for a long time.

Gradually, the sense of loneliness that did not seem to be alive around the prince seemed to dissipate a little.

Garcia frowned and asked the major general: "...what food will he eat?"

...

When Jiang Jianming woke up, he was in the treatment cabin.

With the hazy he first woke up, he buried himself deeper into the soft quilt.

Really soft.

Several layers of quilts covered the treatment cabin. When he turned over, Jiang Jianming felt that his whole body was sinking, and even the place where his toes stepped on was soft.

The fly in the ointment is that there is a problem.

This question made Jiang Jianming open his eyes instead of letting him fall asleep again.

The only problem was that he was sure he had slept in bed last night.

-Who locked him in again! !

——Who would actually put a quilt in the treatment cabin, and still have three layers inside and three layers out, is this building a nest! ?

The answer is beyond doubt.

Because Garcia was standing next to the treatment cabin, condescending and staring intently inside.

As soon as Jiang Jianming opened his eyes, he met the prince's line of sight.

Because he was mentally prepared, he didn't scream out in horror like his two roommates, which was not easy.

The wind was blowing outside the window, and the snow was rustling.

Garcia didn't feel guilty at all. He opened his mouth and said, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Jiang Jianming was lying in the treatment cabin, and he said blankly, "Your Highness, do you take the liberty to ask if you don't need to sleep?"

Garcia frowned in disbelief. Jiang Jianming said patiently: "Before I fell asleep last night, you stared at me at the head of the bed like this. Now, I would think you stared at me all night."

Garcia: "."

Jiang Jianming: "I can sleep because I have a strong psychological endurance, it does not mean that you have no problems like this."

While speaking, he opened the treatment cabin and sat up, a slight chill drifted over.

——It was from Garcia’s body, a very light wind and snow breath.

Jiang Jianming's heart moved slightly.

He saw unmelted grains of snow on Garcia's hair.

Jiang Jianming's eyes were dim, and he didn't know why Garcia would go out early in the morning to experience the wind and snow.

But he knew he was soft-hearted.

Sometimes soft-hearted doesn't need a clear reason.

Jiang Jianming sighed and reluctantly took a step back: "...Well, disabled humans can't eat raw meat of high-level alien creatures that are too fresh, and the content of crystal particles may be too high."

"Other than that, normal food is fine. I don't have any taboos. In fact, I can handle the daily chores by myself."

Jiang Jianming smiled: "You don't have to worry, I'm very casual."

But after he finished speaking, he felt that he was talking too much. Since Garcia had read his file and knew that he was a disabled human being, there would be no more strange misunderstandings like "second prince".

Certainly not extra bother.

"That's fine, you can figure it out yourself."

Sure enough, Garcia's face softened a lot, "I don't serve in the army, but the real power is equivalent to the top commander of the fortress. You end the adaptation period ahead of schedule, and you can follow me to act after the title, which can be equivalent to my adjutant."

Jiang Jianming said warmly, "It's an honor."

Garcia looked at him and said tentatively, "I brought you under my command because of your talent. The fortress environment is harsh. Although you are a remnant, don't expect me to take care of you."

Jiang Jianming glanced at the treatment cabin covered with quilts.

"..."

He forced a smile: "Okay, please do so."

Garcia: "Last night in a hurry, you go back and pack your things, move in within the morning, and the room is next door. Call me after everything is done... I need to change a mecha that you can drive, and you can choose together. "

"Ah." Only then did Jiang Jianming realize that if he would follow Garcia in the future, sometimes he would need to ride in the same mecha.

Just like Lieutenant Colonel Huo Lin and his adjutant Raymond, when they accompanied them out of training, they would ride the B-class mecha "L-Evil Shark" together.

It's just that generally speaking, it is the deputy to adapt to the type of mecha that matches the officer. It can be said that it is very absurd for Garcia to re-select the mecha because of having an additional deputy.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Jiang Jianming suddenly raised the corners of his lips, thinking of the M-Po Jun that Garcia took last time, and he thought it was no wonder.

He secretly laughed: Now I'm going to ride with the disabled human beings, I don't know Little Highness... Would you still dare to use that kind of high-risk type that doesn't even have a treatment cabin?

The author has something to say: Your Highness: Fragile and disabled human beings dare not feed indiscriminately, are afraid of not eating, are afraid of being raised to death... What, can he forage by himself? Great.

Ginger: In the fortress, there is a rationed meal, and when you leave the fortress, you can eat compressed food with cold water. That's good.
