next morning.

Dim sunlight poured in from the windows of the treatment area, and fell on the oval hatch of the treatment cabin.

Hum——

The outer cover and the inner transparent cover fell in sequence, and the treatment cabin was opened from the inside.

One palm rests on the edge.There is no condensed crystal on the wrist of the handicapped human being, and there are faint bone marks under the skin when it is exerted.

Jiang Jianming sat up slowly, and the bright sunlight splashed on the large hospital gown on his body, and fell into his clear eyes.

he woke up.

What caught the eye was a clean white ceiling and green fluorescent lights on the floor, which meant that the vital signs of the patients here were normal.

The bulging medical robots are floating around, and occasionally there are medical staff rushing to and fro.

Even Jiang Jianming himself didn't expect that he, a cripple who was injured, bled, and exhausted to the point of exhaustion, was the first to wake up among the five companions.

Maybe it's because he's used to keeping his body in a bad state, so it's easier to keep his consciousness clear when he's tired.

In short, when Jiang Jianming stood up with his support on the wall and walked down the ground for two laps wearing cotton slippers, he unexpectedly felt better and his body recovered well.

"Your Excellency, you are awake." A beautiful little female nurse came over pushing a trolley and took out a package of items. "This is the clothes and belongings that the program in the treatment cabin automatically changed for you. Please confirm and check."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Jianming took it over.What he got was a transparent bag, which contained his silver Beidou military uniform, gloves, and wrist phone.

He pursed his lips and turned it over quickly, heaving a sigh of relief.

...everything is there, including his odd gadgets.

Jiang Jianming didn't care about anything else, he put the necklace on next to his body as if nothing had happened, and then put the empty bullet casing back into the breast pocket of the military uniform, so he felt at ease.

The footsteps sounded from near to far, and from far to near.

The little nurse in front seemed to have received a communication remotely, turned back to him after walking a few steps, and asked with a blink of an eye, "Excuse me, are you Your Excellency Jiang Jianming?"

"Your officer is here to visit you, please follow me."

sir?

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

His officer... Lieutenant Colonel Holling?

...

There are no wards in the outer area of the Yinbeidou treatment area, and the treatment cabin is a small space for everyone.Needless to say, this environment with chubby medical robots flying around is not the place for talking.

Therefore, there is also a separate room here for short conversations between visitors and patients.

Jiang Jianming followed the little nurse to the meeting room, and the silver-white automatic door buzzed open.

In the room, the man in the military uniform sitting on the chair with a straight and cold face was indeed Lieutenant Colonel Holling.

The little nurse delivered the person and left. Jiang Jianming stepped forward to meet the lieutenant colonel's cold eyes.

He pulled out a chair and sat opposite, nodded: "Sir, you are looking for me."

The lieutenant colonel's sinister face twitched, and his fingers tapped on his knees: "I didn't ask you to sit down."

Jiang Jianming smiled slightly: "Sorry, sir, I haven't fully recovered my physical strength, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand for too long."

He was dressed in a white loose hospital gown, and his demeanor was not inferior when he was at eye level with Huo Lin.

After a moment of stalemate, the lieutenant colonel took the lead to withdraw his eyes and snorted coldly.

"The mechs in the fortress all have automatic video recording functions." Huo Lin said, "Except for the damage of two IPs, I have watched the videos of the other four IPs."

Jiang Jianming remained silent, calmly waiting for the next article.

Although he is used to saying "I am ordinary" every day, he still has a lot of basic concepts.

He understood that he had done a great job in leading the whole team to evacuate from the dangerous situation this time.

What's more, he also brought back the true crystal mine of the B-level subspecies.

If it were an ordinary officer, when he came to visit a doctor at this time, he should be full of praise and sincere comfort.

The lieutenant colonel with a sullen face took a deep breath and closed his triangular eyes.

He said coldly: "Jiang Jianming, I don't like you very much."

For the first time, Lieutenant Colonel Huoling called out the disabled young man's name during non-roll roll.

Jiang Jianming couldn't help laughing, thinking, this lieutenant colonel is really not an "ordinary officer".

When the lieutenant colonel opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, and the words between his teeth were sharp: "Until now, I don't think that a disabled human being can do anything great in the distant stars."

"The rules of this world are much crueler than the young people today imagine. The era of natural selection five hundred years ago has declared the result of the survival of the fittest: the new human beings with crystal bones are the winners, and they cannot fully integrate with the crystal particlesThe crippled human beings are the losers. Even if the old empire is overthrown because of its tyranny, this principle remains the same.”

Huo Lin looked straight at the young man in front of him: "And I, I am the instructor of the officers in the adaptation period, and my primary responsibility is to ensure that the soldiers under me can survive."

"It's not easy for a handicapped human being to survive in a distant star, and it's also not easy for a handicapped human being to survive in a team. And you...

Humph."

Holly snorted coldly.

"You know this truth, but you would rather die than retreat."

Whether it was the time when passed out when got off the mecha when first entered the fortress, when was fighting red caterpillars with only M-Jidian 18, when was suffering from a low-grade fever and gnashing teeth to participate in training again and again...

This remnant crystal human being refused to allow himself to take even a step back.

He has a will that is as fiery as steel, contrary to his natural race.

Jiang Jianming said frankly: "Yes."

Holling: "The more you are like this, the less I like you."

Huo Lin turned his head away, he held his military cap in his hand, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If you pack up and go back to the empire as soon as possible, you will be ashamed at most; if you lose your braids soon, it is regrettable, but you will dieA newcomer."

"But if you go on like this step by step, becoming a hero, becoming a legend, accumulating military merits, and accepting important responsibilities—then one day, in an important mission, you die in full view."

The lieutenant colonel suddenly raised his cold eyes: "Then, you will cause a catastrophe."

Jiang Jianming looked calm, and the soft light above his head hit the contours of his eyebrows and eyes. He said softly, "I understand, sir."

Huo Lin sneered, and loosened his usual locked brows: "So until now, I still look down on you, I must look down on you, this is my duty."

"but"

Chief Huolin's mouth twitched, "But, judging from the results, at least this time, you saved my soldiers."

The next moment, he stood up and gave Jiang Jianming a firm military salute.

Even though the lieutenant colonel's gaze was still so impersonal, even with cold contempt, his military salute was extremely standard.

Jiang Jianming shook his head and said calmly: "Sir, I am not saving your soldiers, but myself and my teammates."

After finishing speaking, he didn't evade, nor was he humble. Instead, he also stood up and raised his hand in return with an equally solemn salute.

"I am very sorry," Jiang Jianming said in a deep voice, "Bemaner is an officer with outstanding qualities and a good friend of mine, but I was unable to bring her back safely."

In this era, Aslan Star City already has the technology of limb regeneration surgery, and Bemaner's family background can fully afford it, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But if she decides to return to the empire for surgery, she will have to leave Yinbeidou.

Moreover, the postoperative new limbs are not as good as the original limbs, and it is doomed to be even more difficult for Bemaner to return to the battlefield.

Holly was silent.

After a few breaths, he first let out a cold "hum" through his nostrils, then cursed "little bastard" in a low voice, put his military cap on his head, turned his head and walked out of the treatment area.

Jiang Jianming put down his hands and naturally sent the officer to the door.

Huo Lin's footsteps stopped again.

"Your meritorious deeds this time are extraordinary, be prepared, the people above may interview you in two days."

Jiang Jianming's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "Please enlighten me."

Huo Lin turned his head and looked at him with scrutiny.

Jiang Jianming looked frank: "It is not troublesome to receive the merits that are due. If there are no special circumstances, you will not come to tell me."

Holly raised an eyebrow.

This kid is really... really smart.

He pointed to the ceiling above his head: "Hmph, at this time, there is probably a meeting upstairs, you freak is causing everyone a headache."

"You're right. The Silver Beidou has been building an army for many years. There has long been a set of rules on how to reward you for meritorious deeds, so the content of the meeting is not to discuss how to reward you."

Huo Lin crossed his arms and said, "Keep guessing, little brat."

"Really, it seems that it can only be..."

Jiang Jianming paused, and said with a smile: "Shall we discuss the extent to which I, a crippled human being, should be erased."

Huo Lin was speechless: "Good boy."

Sure enough, smart.

"Find out your own way. Of course I won't speak well for you. If someone wants to give you a special promotion, I will be the first to put a negative vote on the table."

After finishing speaking, Huo Lin waved his hand and walked out again.

Crack, cluck, the sound of military boots on the floor.

Huo Lin listened to his footsteps, and his face became complicated from an angle that Jiang Jianming couldn't see behind him.

Is it really possible?

Can innate conditions be broken?

No, he never believed it before.

After all, all things are born unequal, how can there be any fairness in the world?

The so-called fairness is essentially nothing but alms given by the strong to the weak.

The satisfied rich man showed kindness, and casually gave the bread to the beggars on the side of the road, in exchange for a grateful look, which can make him feel happy for a long time.

Although the disabled human beings now enjoy all the protection of human rights on the surface, this is nothing more than accepting the gift of the new human powerhouse under the benevolence of the empire.

but……

"Sir, please stay."

Jiang Jianming's voice came from behind, and Huo Lin stopped for the second time.

He turned his head and saw a black-haired young man in a white hospital gown standing under the light, walking towards him quickly.

Huo Lin couldn't help squinting his eyes, he had to admit that at this second, his heart, which had been as hard as steel for many years, shook for a moment.

Could it be that this young man will really bring about some earth-shattering changes for the empire, for the new and disabled humans of the empire?

Could it be that this little guy can really go on like this forever...will not die or lose, until he walks out on a brand new path?

The lieutenant colonel's eyes loosened imperceptibly for a second, perhaps that can be called softness.

"Sir."

Jiang Jianming finally stood still in front of Huo Lin, looking up at the lieutenant colonel.

His expression is so solemn, every inch of Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes are full of seriousness, he opened his lips and said:

"Almost forgot, I want to ask—"

"If the M-Jiden 18 rationed by the fortress is scrapped, where can I get a new one?"

Huo Lin's face turned black instantly: "..."

—Fucking little brat!!

...

In the midst of chaos, a new day passed in a blink of an eye.

It was late at night again.

In the treatment area, the same slender figure as last night passed through rows of treatment cabins.

Garcia is not wearing the silver Beidou military uniform today. The cloak of the noble dress is draped behind his shoulders, and his long hair is scattered on it, like flowing golden silk.

He was caught by Xie Yuduo and held a meeting all night, and he was not free until this time.

After the meeting, the major general asked him about that disabled human being, which made His Highness feel inexplicably depressed.

... don't know how that disabled human being is doing today.

He ignored Xie Yuduo and left.

Walking, inadvertently came to the treatment area.

His Highness didn't hesitate much: since you came here, you should go in and have a look.

Maybe he needs to confirm with his own eyes that the disabled human being is not dead before he can sleep peacefully tonight, just like last night.

However, reality does not always follow people's wishes.

Before reaching the familiar position, Garcia's eyes suddenly froze.

The green light in front of that treatment cabin... was off, indicating that there was no one inside.

Cracks appeared on His Royal Highness' cold and noble expression.

A few seconds later, he walked up to the empty cockpit, his eyes darkened.

gone.

The disabled human being he was eyeing...Jiang Jianming.

Not in the treatment bay anymore.

Why, it was still there last night.

Garcia couldn't help biting his lips irritably, remembering the unconscious body that fell into his arms that day, and the blood dripping on the back of his hand.

Handicapped humans... such a weak creature, if they casually come out of the treatment cabin, wouldn't they die?

No, it will die.

Of course it is easy to die.

There seemed to be a fire burning in heart, and couldn't hold it down.

Garcia pursed his lips, and he quickly judged the reason for his mood swings: he was anxious, and he really wanted to find out that disabled human being and lock it back in.

His Royal Highness turned around, and the long cloak curved gracefully behind him.

Garcia walked out of the treatment area with a cold face.

In the dark, he walked towards the dormitory area of the officers in the adaptation period.

His Highness is a Highness who is used to dealing with alien creatures on the battlefield, and concealing his breath is a piece of cake for him.

After a while, Garcia swiped open the door of the dormitory with his authority and walked in without worrying about waking up the people inside.

It was very quiet inside, Garcia walked in and looked around, and found the person he was looking for.

Sure enough, Jiang Jianming fell asleep on the bed in the dormitory, leaning on his side, almost buried under the quilt, his slightly pale side face was peaceful.

But he was the only one in the dormitory, and none of the other youths came back.

"..."

After finding the disabled human being who was alive and well, Garcia secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but soon his face became even colder.

How could a handicapped human being recovering from a serious illness sneak back to the dormitory to sleep alone?

What would he do if his illness flared up at night?

Garcia stood at the head of the bed with a sullen face, he gritted his teeth secretly, and there was a cold arrogance between his brows.

However, if Jiang Jianming is awake, he will know that this does not mean that His Highness is angry or anything, but...he is in trouble.

——After all, when this person is not embarrassed, he always gets started.

Garcia was embarrassed for a moment, pursed his lips, and as expected slowly stretched out his hand.

This is too dangerous, and this handicapped human being has such a reckless temper, without any sense of propriety.

He still needs to be taken back to the treatment cabin and locked up...at least two or three more days, and now he is obviously not recovered.

Garcia's palm rested on Jiang Jianming's shoulder.

"Wake up."

His Highness looked deeply, and said in a deep voice, "Get up."

The shoulders under the hands are very thin, and it seems that they can rub the shoulder blades through the quilt.

The moment he was touched, his thin body moved, and his originally shallow breathing became disordered.

"...?" Jiang Jianming opened his eyes sleepily, rolled up the quilt and turned over.

While half asleep and half awake, through the moonlight outside the window, he saw the cold platinum curly hair and the hand reaching out to him.

Your Majesty...

"Ginger," Garcia said lightly, "get up, come back with me..."

Without finishing a sentence, the cuff sank.

I saw Jiang Jianming lying sideways on the bed, staring at him with half-opened eyes, which seemed to be darker than usual.

The thin white fingertips stretched out from under the quilt at some point, hooking the cuffs of his dress.

Garcia's pupils flickered slightly.

The fingers slowly climbed up again, like vines clinging to the trees, and finally grabbed his forearm, and the five fingers tightened.

Jiang Jianming held His Royal Highness's arm and raised his face.

The broken hair was messed up on the pillow, and a few strands were scattered at the end of the eyes.

Under the moonlight outside the window, his eyes were foggy, his eyebrows and the corners of his lips stretched lazily, and he said softly, "Why are you here again... annoying."

His Highness was startled, but he still hadn't reacted.

The next moment, Jiang Jianming tilted his upper body and buried him in Garcia's arms with a smile.

He closed his eyes and sighed, and murmured vaguely: "Forget it, it's all here...then hug me."

The author has something to say: Garcia: !!!

...can't stand it can't stand it.
