Chapter 416

It rained in the Kolya polluted area today. Thick rain and fog covered the entire polluted area, and even the inside of the base station was covered with a heavy layer of fog.

Layers of defense were stacked on top of each other, and as the small spacecraft approached, there was a slight vibration. When You Su was leaning against the window looking at the scenery outside, You Yuying behind him pulled him out and made him sit back in his seat.

"Don't move during the transition time." You Yuying held him down, "If you move again, I'll throw you down."

You Su frowned, "You weren't so disciplined when you were jumping in your mecha."

He lowered his voice unconsciously as he spoke.

There were two other people on the other side of the spacecraft. When You Su was pulled by You Yuying to sit down, he couldn't help but glance at the two men in military uniforms. Both of them had a lingering smell of blood, and their combat uniforms were stained with a lot of blood stains from pollutants. They were still discussing work. One was his father Lin Yi, and the other was his father's boss Ying Lingfeng.

The two men had just finished a border mission that lasted for half a year and had just returned from the battlefield when they rushed to the contaminated area of ​​Koria.

When You Su was very young, You Yuying told him about the past of Koria. He heard that a serious riot broke out in Koria a few years ago. At that time, offensive pollutants close to the super S level attacked Koria's research institute. Uncle Ying and his father led the team to clean up the area. After going through a lot of hardships, they completely eliminated the pollutants, but Uncle Ying was also seriously injured that time. The scar on his neck was caused by the pollutants that penetrated the cockpit.

It was dangerous, I almost died.

After being rescued, Uncle Ying only rested for a month before leading the team to the border to eliminate hidden dangers.

When he was young, You Su didn't know what "almost died" meant, but every time he saw the scar on Uncle Ying's neck, he was always attracted to it. Once, he asked about it in person and was almost beaten up by his parents, which made Uncle Ying laugh out loud.

Later, when You Su was a little older, because his parents were both mecha technicians, he realized how dangerous it was to be pierced through the cockpit on the battlefield. The wound was stuck in the neck, and if he could survive, it was a life snatched back from the hands of death.

Therefore, Uncle Ying is the person he admires most besides his parents.

His mother was in the Third Star Domain Army, and his father was in the First Star Domain Army. When You Su was young, he had to watch the joint military exercises every year. He had watched video footage of the Dawn Galaxy's military exercises over the years, and often saw his father fighting side by side with Uncle Ying. Later, when he heard that the commander of the Dawn Galaxy was all Uncle Ying, his admiration for Uncle Ying became even greater.

When he grows up, he must become a border mecha master as outstanding as Uncle Ying.

"Will we stay in Kolya for a long time this time?" You Su asked.

You Yuying also took care of the work far away in the third domain on the spacecraft. "Stay for a few days. Haven't you always wanted to take a vacation to play in the contaminated area? Your dad has something to do here these few days, and it's just right that you can attend your uncle's child's birthday."

After she finished speaking, she added: "Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to bully children."

You Su thought to himself how could he possibly argue with a child who was only a few years younger than him, so he ignored You Yuying and turned his head to continue looking out the window.

Besides, what’s this kind of contaminated area? If you want to go to a contaminated area, you have to do the same as his parents and go to the border contaminated area to play.

The defense on the Koria side is comprehensive, and it takes two blockades to jump into the contaminated area. You Su watched the rain outside for a long time before the spacecraft slowly approached the docking station of the Koria base station. Before You Su got off the spacecraft, he saw the foggy sky outside the base station and a few researchers walking around.

As soon as Uncle Ying and his father got off the boat, they were surrounded by several older uncles.

You Su was not interested in these things. He turned his head and saw a beautiful aunt in a white research coat walking towards him. Uncle Ying seemed to have noticed her earlier. Before she came over, Uncle Ying had already walked over.

The two hugged for a while, as Uncle Ying had other things to do.

You Su saw the beautiful aunt walking towards him.

"That's your uncle Ying's wife, Aunt Shi." You Yuying introduced her to You Su.

You Su followed the others and called out "Auntie".

Shi Xuejun was talking to You Yuying and couldn't help but rub You Su's head. "He wasn't this tall when I last saw him. He has grown into a big boy in the blink of an eye."

"When you saw him last time, he didn't even finish his sentence. It's been a few years since we last met." You Yuying said easily, and pushed You Suo forward a few steps. "But he did grow taller quickly. Where's Xiaolin? Why didn't you bring him out?"

"I'm sleeping. I just recovered from an illness two days ago and have been feeling sleepy lately." Shi Xuejun said softly.

"Then pay more attention to this."

When You Yuying heard this, her eyes were slightly stunned. She was busy with work and had a close relationship with the Ying family, but they met seldom.

The last time the two families met was not long after Shi Xuejun was discharged from the hospital. Over the past few years, Shi Xuejun's condition has improved, but the children have been more seriously affected.

When Shi Xuejun was pregnant with Ying Chenlin, the Kolya riot happened, which induced a genetic infection. Although the embryo was separated immediately, because the mother's physique was slightly weak, Ying Chenlin's physical condition was not very good for a period of time after birth. It was only in recent years that it stabilized and his health gradually improved.

"Where is Xiao Su? I heard from Ling Feng that you started teaching him how to drive a mecha?" Shi Xuejun asked with a smile.

You Yuying: "He has thick skin and tough muscles, so we got him a small mecha to practice with. Lin Yi and I are thinking about whether we should send him to a training camp, so that he won't have to pester us to teach him all day long."

You Su followed beside him, thinking to himself, you said every day that you would take me there, but I never saw you.

He actually wanted to go to the training camp as well. He heard that You Yuying and Lin Yi stood out from the training camp and finally joined the border army.

There was a smell of disinfectant in the Coria Institute. You Su followed people walking all the way and met researchers of all kinds. The smell in the environment was worse than pollutants. There was no training ground outside, just a dry small base station. It looked not as fun as his home at all.

We soon arrived at the dormitory area. The residences at the institute are divided into separate areas and are located in the middle and rear of the institute. There are no independent villas like those on other planets, only separated floor spaces. Grandpa Ying and Aunt Shi both work here, so Uncle Ying's home is here.

You Su thought that life here was very monotonous, but when he entered the floor space, he found that although it looked ordinary on the outside, it was decorated very warmly on the inside. Various small robot toys could be seen everywhere in the living room. They looked small, but it seemed to have everything.

Shi Xuejun put the things away and said, "Xiao Lin's grandfather made this for him. He loves playing with machinery these days."

You Su's eyes moved away from the mecha model in the living room that was as tall as him, and he saw Uncle Ying walking out of the small room next door, saying a few words to Aunt Shi, and then leaving quickly.

You Yuying was also surprised, "Stationmaster Ying hasn't rested yet?"

"I've been busy with Teacher Qiu these past two days." Shi Xuejun said, "It's rare for you to come here. They have to go to the laboratory to hand in materials. Can we sit next door?"

You Su didn't want to leave. As soon as he came in, he saw all kinds of mecha models of the Ying family. In the cabinet next to him were models of several generations of military mechas and warships. He recognized several things in them at once. He had seen them all in the Shuguang joint military exercise.

Normally when he followed Lin Yi around, he had only seen mechas or warships on the periphery. Lin Yi always refused him on the grounds that he was too young to go in. But it was not like now, where he could see scaled-down models.

Seeing that You Su was interested in these things, Shi Xuejun took You Yuying to the next room to rest and drink tea.

You Su stopped there and didn't move. He was just looking at the mechas and various weapons. Every time he saw the models of the mechas and warships of each generation, he could remember the corresponding models and expedition dates. The cabinets against the wall extended all the way to the inner position. He walked further and further in, and when he stopped, he saw a small room directly in front of him.

There was a nanny robot parked outside the room. The door was not closed tightly, leaving a large gap. As long as you approached, you could see the situation inside.

You Su quietly moved closer and saw through the crack in the door that there were many models in the room inside, filling up the entire wall. He remembered this room. Uncle Ying had just come out of this room. It seemed to be the room of the child in the Ying family who was having a birthday.

Out of politeness, You Su did not push the door open. He stood outside the crack and looked inside. The models on the wall seemed to be smaller than the ones he saw outside, like tailor-made small models. There were even old models from more than ten years ago, and weapon models he had never seen before... As he continued to look inside, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of bright eyes in the dim light.

A little child had crawled out of bed and was sitting on the bed looking at him.

The other person seemed to have just woken up, with a red square mark on the left side of his cheek. His eyes were particularly bright and he looked very much like his teacher's aunt. His tender face had baby fat on it, and together with the quilt he was wrapped in, he looked chubby.

You Su took half a step back upon seeing this. The child sitting on the bed also leaned out, pressed down by the quilt.

Those round eyes kept looking at him, as if full of curiosity about him.

You Su had never encountered such an embarrassing thing as being caught while peeping into someone else's room. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a rustling sound. Then the nanny robot outside the door seemed to notice something, switched from standby mode to on, and pointed it at him.

You Su paused in his retreat and glanced behind him.

At this time, the door, which was originally only half open, was opened.

A small hand was placed on the edge of the door, and the little boy was standing holding the door. His distant eyes were suddenly brought closer, less than half a meter away from You Su, who was separated by the door.

The two of them stared at each other, one lowered and the other raised, and the silence only lasted a few seconds.

You Su spoke first: "Sorry for waking you up."

The child blinked his eyes, with a bit of confusion and tentativeness in his eyes, and asked: "Are you secretly looking at me?"

The voice is crisp and tender, but the words he says hit the point straight away.

You Su had never peeked at anyone in his life, and he defended himself by saying, "I didn't look at you. I just passed by and saw the model in your room."

"Oh, do you want to come in and take a look?" The child stepped back holding the wall, and the door was opened by him. Only then did You Su see that there were more models in the room than what he saw through the crack in the door. The models were fully distributed on both sides. The child's room was like a huge treasure house.

The child opened the door and saw You Su standing still, looking at him curiously.

You Su was shamefully moved.

The carpet was very soft. When You Su walked in, he clearly felt that the temperature of the room was a bit high. The nanny robot outside the door scanned the child and quickly retreated to the door without going any further in.

There was a blanket in the middle, on which were some half-played models, a few open model books, and vaguely some unfinished graffiti on the table... Next to the graffiti was a trophy.

You Su remembered the trophy. It was the trophy won for the joint military exercise of the five major star regions a few years ago. Each participating border army had a replica of the small trophy. The one his father won was still placed high up in his study, and he was not allowed to touch it.

Uncle Ying's trophy was placed on the child's desk, where it was used as a desk decoration and to press down graffiti paper.

You Su was so obsessed with the mecha model that he would look at it for a long time and had long forgotten that there was a child next to him. By the time he reacted, more than twenty minutes had passed. When he didn't speak, the child didn't speak either.

Existence is approximately equal to zero. The child sits on the blanket wrapped in a quilt, following his movements with his eyes. Seeing that You Su is interested, he will occasionally push the model that is placed farther away over.

You Su had seen many children, most of whom kept their treasures to themselves. This was the first time he had seen a child who was eager to share things with others. "Don't you want to play with them yourself?"

The child was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

But when Yousu was looking at the model illustrations, other small models were pushed over from the side.

When You Su was in the Three Star Domain, he lived with his mother You Yuying. He often met children of various ages in the family area. Those children were very noisy. Every time You Su played mecha with others, they would always squeeze up and talk nonsense, like little brats who needed to be punished.

You Su usually ignores them and doesn't like to get along with them.

But the child in Aunt Teacher’s family seems to be different. He is quiet and always likes to look at people quietly.

I heard that he had poor health when he was a child, and Uncle Ying and Aunt Shi loved him very much. Once, his father finished his mission and returned home ahead of schedule. When he asked, he found out that Uncle Ying’s child was sick. The border mission that was originally expected to take half a month was completed by Uncle Ying a few days ahead of schedule, and he rushed home as soon as it was completed.

Maybe because he had finished looking at the model, You Su couldn't help but look at the child a few more times.

"You're looking at me again," said the child.

You Su really didn't want to admit it, but this time he was really looking: "What's your name?"

The child said, "Shen Lin."

You Su looked at the other unopened graffiti books next to him, on which were written the three words "Ying Chenlin".

"Did you draw this?" You Su asked.

Ying Chenlin nodded: "Yeah."

He seemed to have not recovered from his cold yet. His voice was not loud when he spoke and he coughed occasionally. "This is my painting, and this one too."

Ying Chenlin looks only three or four years old, but he knows a lot and seems to be interested in many things. You Su also saw quite a few weapon design illustrations... The childish handwriting on the graffiti book is different from that of an adult. It seems like a child's imaginative drawing of the prototype of a weapon. The brushstrokes are childish and have a unique sense of design.

"The J-67 model? This one isn't as cool as the 66."

You Su likes the J-66 warship very much. It was the warship his father rode on when he first went to the Star Alliance military exercise. It’s a pity that the warship only appeared once. Later, due to technical problems, it was rebuilt and became the J-67 after it was built. Its appearance is also different from before.

The child looked at You Su and seemed to have heard something. His eyes turned to the model wall in the distance. He suddenly got out of the quilt and ran to the model wall barefoot.

You Su then noticed that there was a special small staircase next to the wall. Once it sensed Ying Chenlin's approach, it quickly fell from the wall, forming a layer of stairs for children to climb. "Don't fall."

Ying Chenlin seemed to have just recovered from an illness, and his walking was still a little unsteady. When he climbed up and down the small stairs, he was a little shaky and was about to fall down. You Su hurried over and as soon as he got to the side, he saw the child found the location of the model that You Su had just mentioned very familiarly and took a model down from the wall.

It is exactly the J-66 retired warship model that You Su just mentioned.

The two men were standing, one high and one low. When Ying Chenlin went down to the second floor, he stepped on the edge of the stairs. You Su saw the situation and realized that something was wrong. He rushed over with his body before his brain did, and ran to the bottom before the child fell. He caught the child and became a cushion underneath.

Two people, one big and one small, fell on the soft blanket. Just as You Su was about to say something angry, he saw the child lying on him move, and a black model was handed to him.

"Brother, this is for you."

Somehow You Su's gaze did not rest on the model he was longing for, but on the child's chubby hand. From that hand, he saw the pair of eyes behind the model, which were very bright and beautiful.

The model he took over suddenly lost its touch, and the childish voice of the child lingered in his ears.

You Su was pressed by the little meatball and asked in a muffled voice: "What did you call me?"

"Brother." Ying Chenlin said and coughed twice.

This little brat is younger than him, so he should be called brother.

You Su felt a little satisfied, and the unpleasant feeling of falling down and being used as a cushion for others disappeared.

For the first time, he discovered that some children could call people so beautifully.
