Interstellar: Besieged

Chapter 31 Untitled

The noon sun was scorching hot, and the once dead city was gradually warming up with the sunlight.In the dilapidated ruins, among the crowd rushing and shouting, a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses carried his video camera and walked on the rubble with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The camera faithfully recorded the 1000-year ephemeris On August 8rd, Taien Port City.

This was originally just an inconspicuous small town on the border of Charar, not as prosperous as Beiduxing, but the people here also have the consistent optimism and tenacity of Charar.The middle-aged man is also one of them. As a reporter of the local newspaper, he runs around with his camera every day. He knows every street and every building here.Although these things have been severely damaged now, he can still follow the route he remembers and get to any place he wants to go with ease.

The blood in his body that belongs to a journalist is boiling, urging him to keep filming to complete this heavy mission.

At the gate of the school, the old teacher with gray temples looked at the half-collapsed teaching building, and a corner of the textbooks was exposed under the rubble. He was always laughed at by the students as an expression of "concern for the country and the people", and seemed to be even more sad; the square in the center of the city On the street, a faltering mother searched among the rows of corpses covered with white cloth, tremblingly opened a corner to identify the face; in front of the commercial street, a couple holding hands tightly was dug up, and the newly bought pair in their hands The ring is still shining.

The man recorded everything faithfully with red eyes, and clenched his hands tightly, unable to take pictures for several times.Then he quickly saw that the lovely students took the old teacher away, and a group of boys who were always fighting and shouting for the lost classmates, rolled up their sleeves, and moved things, as if There is endless energy.From time to time, soldiers and temporary volunteers carried stretchers and rushed past. When passing by the square, the almost desperate mother finally found her son lying on the stretcher, crying with joy, and a female nurse next to her handed over a tissue in due course. .Some lovers were surprised to meet again during the rescue, and the two joined hands to rescue a trapped little girl.

The man kept adjusting the camera, and when he stepped back, he accidentally stepped on the ground. Fortunately, a passing mecha reached out and grabbed him in time, and put him in the open space beside him.

"Thank you!" He waved at the mech, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not.

The mecha turned around, bent its arms, gave a military salute, and hurried to the next point.The man recognized this mecha, because it was walking around the streets holding a loudspeaker to direct the rescue.He couldn't help pointing the camera at its leaving back, wanting to take a close-up, but unexpectedly, another group of black mechs drove into Tai'an Port City in a neat line.

The mecha drove through the central avenue of Tai'an Port City. The sixth sense of the man who has been engaged in journalism all the year round drove him to carry the camera and ran all the way. When he chased to the most crowded square, he saw the lead mecha stop. The cockpit opened, and a shiny military boot first appeared in the camera.

Then there is the straight military uniform, the gun on the waist, the shining general star on the shoulder, and the black eyes under the brim of the military cap that can always give people strength.

At that moment, the sun was shining at the best angle, and the whole square fell into silence for a second or two.Then a childish voice broke the calm, a little girl pointed at the soldier in surprise, pulled her mother's sleeve, and shouted happily: "Brother Major General is here! Mom, look that Brother Major General is here, niece Don't be afraid anymore..."

The mother patted her daughter's head and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Well, good girl, we're fine."

The man looked at the people in the camera who suddenly started to cry. The cries and cheers intertwined and shook the entire city of Tai'an Port.At this moment, all words are rendered pale, because this scene is already so flesh and blood.

On August 8th, a documentary called Taien Port City Rescue appeared on Char's network. It has not been deleted or post-processed, and it has faithfully restored Taien Port City for the anxious Xia people. scenario.Coupled with the continuous scrolling of real-time news, the Xiaya people's heart finally fell back a little.

At the end of the film, there is a huge open space. All the corpses collected are neatly stacked together, covered with white cloth, waiting for the final incineration, and then leave this world completely.The image swept by the camera is heavy and depressing, and no amount of dazzling sunlight can weaken it by half.The black crowd stood in front of the pile of corpses, sobbing silently with pale faces.

Standing at the front of the crowd was a row of soldiers. The black military uniforms were just right for the occasion, but sad but not hurt, calm but not heavy.The leader was Chu Shuo, and everyone took off their military caps as he moved. The soldier who never bowed his head slightly bowed his head, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

However, when he raised his head, the gaze in his eyes was firm again, cold and decisive. He put on his military cap, and his sonorous voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"salute!"

Hands raised neatly, military boots colliding, young soldiers defending the country with blood, eyes as firm as iron, let today's scene repeat itself!

The camera is fixed at this second, and in the next second, this group of people will go out again, because the war is not over, Yuan Xing is far from the time to usher in peace.More and more soldiers will rush forward to this battlefield, and ship after ship of supplies will arrive one after another. Yes, it is far from the time to shed tears.

The pre-war mobilization led by the Xia royal family has already begun, and the experience of war after war has made the country's big machine start to operate in an orderly manner.People learn to move forward in sadness and anger, so what comes, let it come!

If you want to fight, fight!A country that has come through the flames of war will never lose to anyone in what it is good at!War will bring pain and death, but it will definitely not lack the blood of defending the country and attacking boldly!

Just as a certain military expert said on TV, although Bewa's blow caused irreparable damage to Xia, it was also like a catalyst, allowing the country to complete the war as quickly as possible. The transition from peace to war, from top to bottom, inspired unparalleled cohesion and centripetal force.

Especially Chu Shuo, the Bewa people are simply fueling the flames and shaping him into the second Xia Yajun god after Chu Fengjun.

Regardless of the outside comments, no matter how turbulent the outside world is, the mountain behind the Chu family is still in full swing at this time.Ning Yao's sonorous and forceful admonition voice echoed in that underground training ground all the time. The demon instructor's prestige has not diminished.

Facing Ning Yao like this, many people will subconsciously ignore the fact that he is still pregnant, because often when he yells, the person being reprimanded immediately tenses up, keeps their eyes fixed, and their scalp goes numb. The person in front of him was standing with his hands on his waist, and occasionally subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Du Yueheng didn't want Ning Yao to work so hard on training, so he could leave it to Yu Fang.But before Chu Shuo left, he specifically told Ning Yao to do whatever he wanted as long as it wasn't too much, and he didn't want to restrain him.Moreover, the situation of the Ning family is indeed special, and only Ning Yao is qualified for the position of instructor.

Du Yueheng could also tell that Ning Yao was training so hard because she wanted to send her to Chu Shuo sooner after training.After she figured it out, she didn't say anything anymore, but felt more distressed for Ning Yao, and personally urged Ning Yao to drink the anti-fetal medicine every day, and then reminded him to rest, presumably there should be nothing wrong.

It is now August, and Ning Yao has been pregnant for seven months, and the heavier and heavier stomach makes him sleep more and more restlessly at night.Sometimes at night when I really can't sleep, I just sit up and sort out the information for a while, and sometimes I see the electronic photo frame on the bedside table, which contains a photo of him and Chu Shuo saluting the military to the guests on the wedding day. know.

When Chu Shuo arrived in Taien Port City, he called Ning Yao to report that he was safe, and Ning Yao rarely had a good sleep that night.

The next day, the training was still the same, the battle was still the same, and the two continued to be busy with each other.The war in Yuanxing was still difficult. Although the rescue operation was successful, Chu Shuo shattered the Beiwa army's plan to rely on natural dangers in Cangfeng Mountain. , and it is impossible to drive the enemy out overnight.

And Ning Yao also encountered some obstacles. According to the recent training data, Xia Ya's new generation of Skyblade mecha is good, but if it is equipped with the Ning family, it is still not enough.For example, some of their moves can be done with extremely fast physical reaction ability without mechas, but when using mechas, the mechas can't keep up.After all, no matter how flexible a mecha is, it is still a lifeless metal, not comparable to a human body.

For this reason, Ning Yao invested in a new round of mecha research. He first went to Gu Tongshan and then Qi Yan.After the two heard his question, they shook their heads first. After all, Shaar's research on the sky blade is already the current limit. If there is a better design, they would have replaced it with the sky blade.Ning Yao is not in a hurry with them. The improvement he wants is not to improve the mecha overall, but to strengthen the mecha in certain aspects according to the special physical fitness of the Ning family, and then discard some unnecessary ones.For example, while the overall situation remains the same, the output of defense enhancement is reduced, and the attack power and agility of the mecha are greatly improved.

After Qi Yan and Gu Tongshan heard it, their eyes lit up, and they felt that this method was feasible.So after discussing with Chu Chen, Ning Yao provided them with all the training data from this period of time, and once again summoned people to carry out the transformation of the mecha.

Because the transformation of the mecha this time is not the whole transformation, the new mecha will be an upgraded version of the Heavenly Blade. It only needs to improve or weaken certain functions on the basis of the original Heavenly Blade. Also pulled in.

The Xinghe Mecha Company in the hands of Qi Lian is currently the largest manufacturer of Tianren Mecha. The Chu family and the Qi family have joined forces to combine military, government, and business, which will also provide an extra guarantee for Xia in wartime.

However, due to the rush of time, the cooperation between the Qi family and the military is still in the process of slowly developing, and the Tianren mecha has only time to equip Chu Shuo's Ninth Legion. many troops.For this reason, Qi Lian went to the production workshop almost every day these days, and took his housekeeper who looked like a Siamese twin to inspect various factories.Apart from the big head of mechs, warships are also a major source of income for the Qi family.

When Ning Yao called Qi Lian, Qi Lian was patrolling the assembly line and rushed to Ning Yao immediately when he heard that the Skyblade Mecha would be modified.After talking about the business, Qi Lian didn't leave, but stayed to talk to Ning Yao.

First Young Master Qi was very interested in Ning Yao's belly, and every time he came to see him, he couldn't help stretching out a pair of thieves' hands to touch it. It can be said that he, an outsider, has touched it more times than Chu Shuo, a father.

Today, Young Master Qi is giving prenatal education to the babies again, "Big and Ermao, let me tell you, your dad is a scumbag and stays away all day, so don't bother with him from now on, I'll take you to play..."

Ning Yao kicked him, "Don't give my son those weird names!"

Qi Lian quickly passed by, and cast a contemptuous glance at him, "What's the matter, what's the matter with Big Mao and Ermao! What a down-to-earth and endearing name!"

"Then why don't you call yourself Qi Maomao?"

"I can't name myself!" Qi Lian complained.

Ning Yao raised his forehead, and then sincerely suggested: "You can change it, really."

"Then I'll change it to Qi Lian." Qi Lian rubbed his chin and pondered.

"Where's your fur?"

Qi Lian raised his eyebrows and raised his chin slightly, "I'm Qi Lian, whose name is Mao Mao, and whose name is Yi Mao Lay."

Ning Yao replied calmly, "There is another Dharma name called Sanmao, when did you become a monk?"

"Ning fairy, you are a disaster that you poured out. Once you have a man, you will forget about your father. How sad it was when your father married you off. I just need an upright and kind boy paper to soothe my young heart. How can I let you go?" Harming the Monk Temple..."

Young Master Qi was heartbroken and lamented that people's hearts are not ancient.Butler Phil stood aside, he was more interested in what Qi Lian said about "an upright and kind boy", hehe.

For the entire month of August, mech improvement work and training were carried out simultaneously. As news from the front line was sent back one by one, all parties speeded up their actions.At the same time, in a military camp in the south of Shaar.

Because of the mobilization before the war, although the soldiers from the southern military region were not transferred to the western front for support, the daily training was still much heavier than usual.Everything is based on the premise of war, and officers at all levels have worked hard to train their soldiers.

As an officer in the southern military region, Ning Haicheng is naturally stepping up his training.The officer who came down to make an inspection stood outside the training ground and watched for a long time, then came over and patted Ning Haicheng on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

As far as the officer is concerned, Ning Haicheng's personal ability is extremely outstanding. Although he is still lacking in other aspects, he is a talent that can be made.However, he has over-trained in the past few days, so he reminded him appropriately, lest Ning Haicheng go too far.Ning Haicheng nodded humbly, but didn't say anything.

After the day's training, Ning Haicheng didn't go back to rest directly, but went to a hidden place where someone was waiting for him.

The man stood in the shadows, his face could not be seen clearly, but he looked like a soldier.

"Have you considered it?" the man asked in a low voice.

Ning Haicheng clenched his fists, "Is there no other way?"

"Any other way? Are you still worried about that person? Ning Haicheng, when did you become so kind? You don't want revenge, you don't want to take back everything you want, so why are you hesitating?"

Ning Haicheng was silent for a long time before he said, "What will the Ning family do after that?"

"They are busy trying to curry favor with Ning Yao right now, have they ever cared about you? Are you still worried about them? Heh, even if something happens, the Ning family will still be useful. The Chu family will not do anything to them, and they may not necessarily investigate. Let's go to the Ning family. When things are done, we will naturally provide you and the Ning family with everything you want, and the Ning family will be grateful to you when the time comes."

"This……"

Seeing that Ning Haicheng was still hesitating, the man couldn't help but sneer, "Ning Haicheng, are you still a man? Whether to do it or not, you have to understand that this is your only chance."

Hearing this, Ning Haicheng's drooping eyes finally flashed fierceness, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay, I promise you, I will notify Ning Liu immediately."
