Interstellar: Besieged

Chapter 2

"Hi, Professor Gu, I'm the new teaching assistant Ning Yao." Ning Yao looked at the old professor Gu Tongshan with gray curly hair in front of her, and bowed humbly.

"Ah, new here." Gu Tongshan put down the documents in his hand, and looked Ning Yao up and down through the glasses, as if he was looking at a mech that had just come off the production line. How much completeness is marked on each part, um, this young man looks pretty passable. "You go there, there is a stack of homework newly handed in by the little bastards, and you approved it for me. If you pass it, you will stay, if you fail, you will leave."

Pass or fail, of course, does not refer to the student's homework, but Ning Yao's correction.To test his professional ability, judging the students' right and wrong and pointing out the problems is also a way to test the school.Ning Yao smiled, answered yes, and changed her homework as instructed.

After Gu Tongshan dismissed him, he ignored it. This is his exclusive laboratory. He is busy with experiments, so he is not happy to watch Ning Yao.Anyway, there is monitoring here, and he is not afraid of Ning Yao tampering with any core information.

Ning Yao took the electronic pen and wrote and drew on the homework displayed on the electronic screen from time to time, appearing so concentrated.Gu Tongshan occasionally rubbed his neck to rest for a while, raised his eyes and saw his upright sitting posture, and couldn't help nodding, this newcomer was quite calm.But only Ning Yao knew that on the light screen in front of him, besides the students' homework, there were also documents that had nothing to do with the homework.And those materials have one thing in common--Valklin's fireworks.

As the chief of MI[-], the most special department of Xia Ya's military headquarters, the tasks Ning Yao took over were always the most difficult and most aroused his interest.When the fireworks bloomed that day, Ning Yao, who had noticed the clues in advance, stood on the rooftop not far away and witnessed the whole process.

The White Alliance is a well-known business alliance in the interstellar sea today. It is composed of 23 resource planets. Each planet has its own name and has alliance branches. Although there are no countries, they actually operate independently and only adopt unity in some major issues. .When human beings first entered the interstellar sea, the original countries were shattered one after another. The surviving human beings did not hold together, but launched a war, which gave rise to many emerging countries.

Afterwards, the division of territories and the scramble for resources planted many restless bombs in the interstellar sea, and wars broke out from time to time.And those resource-rich planets located in the northern part of the interstellar sea became the targets of snatching in the non-stop battles, and they were battered and scarred.After repeated painful lessons, they finally reached an agreement, and established the White Alliance under the leadership of the first-generation alliance chairman Berrick, thus gaining the ability to confront major powers and continuing to this day.

The White Alliance is rich in resources, full of money, and has always maintained neutrality. Up to now, no country dares to underestimate it.But no matter how strong the dam is, there will always be ant nests, and Ning Yao is convinced of this.Otherwise, a terrorist attack could not have plunged the White League into civil war so quickly.

The terrorist attacker has not yet been captured, and the chairman who was labeled as 'incompetent' has stepped down.The turmoil in the alliance headquarters magnified the factional disputes that have always existed, and finally led to a split. Who is the ultimate beneficiary?

Resources, the most coveted thing about the White Alliance is resources.Why did human beings yearn for the interstellar sea in the first place?Because of the lack of resources on the earth, it has been impossible to survive.And now, 1000 years into the interstellar sea, the resources in this known star field have come to compete again.And if it is impossible to explore the expansion of the unknown star field, the destruction of the earth will be staged again.

Behind the white alliance's civil war, other countries must have intervened.As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, so they single-handedly promoted the split of the alliance in order to grab benefits.They can make deals with any of them in exchange for resources, and even send troops in the name of peacekeeping to seize the opportunity.

Ning Yao's task is to find out as much as possible the shady behind this matter.According to the information he has received so far, the people related to the terrorist attack may be hiding in this military academy.

As the tip of the pen brushed the documents, Ning Yao was doing this work that must not be exposed under the noses of others.With a peaceful expression and an elegant posture, the upright body just blocked the surveillance camera facing the light screen.

Not long after, when he heard footsteps behind him, Ning Yao calmly swiped the tip of his pen across the light-screen desktop, and the newly opened student materials were instantly destroyed without leaving any traces.

"Is it approved?" Gu Tongshan came over and asked.

"This is the last copy." Ning Yao stood up and moved out of her seat, "Professor Gu please take a look."

Gu Tongshan clicked on some homework and looked at it. The more he looked, the more satisfied he looked in his eyes.Ning Yao not only accurately judged the flaws and mistakes in the homework, but also gave appropriate reminders and guidance for some students who were difficult to grasp, which was quite a finishing touch.Gu Tongshan couldn't help but nodded, "Well, that's right. You can stay here in the future. There is a stack of materials over there. Go and get familiar with it. I have a class later, so you can go with me."

"Ok."

So for most of the day, Ning Yao followed Gu Tongshan, teaching in the classroom of the Mecha Manufacturing Department.Speaking of class, Ning Yao only needs to help Gu Tongshan, and most of the time she just stands by and acts as a vase.Ning Yao also discovered a very interesting thing, this Gu Tongshan, a well-known mech maker, especially likes handsome men and beautiful women.If a good-looking student comes up to ask a question, let alone how pleasant he is, if the student is a little hard to describe, sorry, he just has a mecha face.

It's not that he is biased in teaching, but his personality is like a living treasure.Ning Yao was smiling as she watched from the side, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her nose, fortunately she was not bad looking.

After class, Ning Yao carried the toolbox and followed Gu Tongshan out of the classroom.Before walking a few steps, there was a hasty shout from behind, "Brother Ning!"

Ning Yao greeted Gu Tongshan, then stopped.The one who stopped him was a male student from the class just now, who happened to be from the Ning family, and was considered to be Ning Yao's cousin.

"what's up?"

Seeing that Ning Yao stopped talking to him, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help being happy, touched his head, and said, "Brother Ning, I heard from my family that they will call you back tomorrow night at the latest." Ning Xiaochuan moved closer , lowered his voice, reminded a little nervously: "Sister Wutong's brother is back, you have to be careful."

When Ning Yao heard this, her eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking.Ning Yao is not at home all year round, and he is not familiar with Ning Xiaochuan on weekdays. Fortunately, he specially reminded him that this child is really kind-hearted, which is really rare.Ning Yao smiled and nodded to Ning Xiaochuan, "I see, thank you."

Ning Xiaochuan nodded with a blushing face, didn't waste Ning Yao's time, said goodbye and went back to the classroom.But as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by girls in the class, all of them asked about his relationship with Ning Yao.Ning Xiaochuan looked at their starry eyes and laughed for a while, but he couldn't tell them: Don't think about it, there is an owner for a famous grass, have you ever snatched that one?

But Ning Yao secretly figured it out. As an ancient martial arts family that has been passed down to the present, the Ning family has the ability of blood, and has always been coveted and feared by others.Ten years ago, the Chu family proposed a marriage alliance. In order for the family to gain a better foothold in Xiaya, the Ning family readily agreed and chose the patriarch's niece as the marriage partner.Ning Wutong looks very good, her abilities are also outstanding, and her blood concentration is not low. After marrying the Chu family, her status in that branch has risen even higher.Ning Wutong's older brother, Ning Haicheng, was even promoted to the military headquarters by the Chu family, and has now been awarded the post of major.

Unfortunately, now, the object of the marriage has changed.Under such circumstances, Ning Haicheng specially came back from the military headquarters... It's really interesting.

But Ning Yao would not be intimidated by a major, it only took three seconds, Ning Haicheng who was outstanding in the eyes of others and wished to be covered with medals all over his body was thrown into the recycling bin by him.The most urgent task is still the task of fireworks, and the time given by the superiors is not plentiful.

Gu Tongshan had already returned to the laboratory first, and Ning Yao walked leisurely. He reached out and wiped his ear, and a new type of mimetic headset was inserted into his ear.

"Little Watermelon, how is the investigation going?"

"Still doing the last step of verification, boss, judging from the current information, that person is indeed hiding in the academy."

"Okay, let me know immediately if there is a result."

After witnessing the fireworks that day, Ning Yao mobilized all available manpower to secretly intervene in the investigation.That night, the members of the White Alliance quickly identified the terrorists from the blood remaining at the scene.But less than half an hour after this investigation was released, it was destroyed artificially, leaving no clues.If Ning Yao's men hadn't moved quickly, the clue might have been broken here.

Those terrorists were natives of Vulklin, and at first glance they were good citizens, and they had nothing to do with each other.Ning Yao checked them for three days before finally finding a clue.That is, these people all received a message unilaterally before the accident, and sent it from the same point.

Ning Yao sent his subordinates to trace the source of the information, and the information route traveled more than half of the interstellar sea. After several rounds, it was finally determined to be in the First Military Academy.

But one thing Ning Yao can be sure of is that the Xiaya government was not involved in this incident, otherwise it would be impossible to instruct him to continue the investigation.It is a good choice for that person to hide here, who can guess this place?Moreover, it is not an easy task to find him out of thousands of teachers and students.

"Boss! The result is here!" The earphones recalled the surprised voice of the little watermelon just now, "The information was finally locked in the Mecha Department, and it was sent from a computer room in the Department Building of the Mecha Department!"

"I see. Let the white wolf investigate the next matter. Remember not to startle the snake. Also, let Hongjian investigate the whereabouts of Wutong."

"Tell me!" Little Watermelon responded cheerfully.

Ning Yao cut off the communication with a smile, and at this moment a message was sent to Ning Yao's terminal.It was sent by Gu Tongshan, saying that he had to leave first today because the door of the laboratory was closed, so Ning Yao didn't have to go there.It's better to be early than to be late, Ning Yao took off her glasses and put them in her pocket, then turned around and walked outside the college to hail a taxi.

He was inexplicably involved in the vortex of this marriage, and it seemed that some people were upset with him. If he didn't go to the scene to join in the fun, how could he be worthy of them.

"Mr. Driver, please go to Moon Mountain in the outskirts of the city."

At the same time, the planet Lanka on the border of Xiaya.

"Major General." A non-commissioned officer put down the communicator in his hand, turned his head to stand at attention, and saluted, "Mr. Ning has returned to Chiba City safely, and is currently working in the First Military Academy!"

The major general was standing in front of the podium, looking at the live field military exercise displayed on the light screen on the stage. Hearing this, he raised his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark eyes.A pair of sword eyebrows stretched slightly to the sides, "I see, let Wutong come in."

"Yes!"
