Chapter 397 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Sweeping Away the Male and Female Protagonists (49)

Jin Yao shook his head and smiled.

"That's all in the past. Young people these days don't even recognize me."

"I know him."

Just then, Jin Shu stepped forward and gave him a military salute.

This action stunned Jin Yao for a moment.

This is the first time in all these years that someone has saluted me.

"Before I took the military academy entrance exam, the AI ​​instructor in the training room was always the image of Commander Jin. Commander Jin's fighting skills were particularly useful to me, and I would like to thank Commander Jin for his guidance."

The regimental commander beside him nodded in agreement.

"Haha, you're right. In terms of fighting skills alone, Commander Jin really can't find a match for the entire legion! Even Commander Ares was a student trained by Commander Jin back then!"

Jin Yao simply smiled faintly.

"That's all in the past. Now there's only warehouse manager Jin Yao, no longer Commander Jin. Please don't mislead the children anymore."

"Weren't you here to choose a mech? Come on in. I've already picked out some flying mechs that are convenient for entering the wormhole for combat. Some of the older ones are in the last row, so I didn't bother to show them to save everyone's time."

The warehouse for storing mechs in the eleventh regiment alone has fifteen floors, each floor being nearly 10,000 square meters.

Jin Shu was taken directly to the fifteenth floor, where more than a dozen brand-new flying combat mechs were neatly arranged.

"These are all newly developed flying mechs in recent years. They are more functional and precise to operate than before, and the mortality rate has been greatly reduced. Which one would you like, young soldier?"

Jin Shu glanced at it, then looked at Jin Yao.

"Take me to the first floor, I like antiques."

The group leader was quite indulgent towards Jin Shu and took her to the first floor without hesitation. The moment the lights were turned on, the huge parking lot was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Each mech is stained with blood that can never be washed away, and the crisscrossing marks on its body silently tell the story of its past battles.

Jin Shu walked straight to a mecha placed in the corner and reached out to touch it.

"This one is very nice. What's its name?"

Jin Yao looked a little uneasy, but he quickly masked it with a calm expression.

"It's called Galaxy, but this mech is almost fifty years old. It's considered an antique among this batch of mechs. Just look at it; it's definitely not good enough for the battlefield."

Can it fly?

"Yes, you can."

"As long as it can fly, nothing else matters. I like this mech, Commander. I'll use this one for this battle."

The team leader paused for a second, then exchanged a glance with Jin Yao.

Jin Yao had no choice but to step forward and try to persuade him.

"Young lady, what's used on the battlefield now is precise detection over 100 kilometers, 100% stealth suits, and sprints of 100 kilometers per second."

This mech is too old; it can't go to the battlefield, and it can't protect you either.

Jin Shu sat inside, closed her eyes, and the next second her mental energy instantly covered every part inside the mecha.

In that instant, she felt the power of the mecha, and when she opened her eyes again, she nodded firmly.

"This is it, Captain. You said I could choose whatever I wanted, so I'll choose this one."

The troupe leader hesitated, but faced with such a stubborn person as Jin Shu, he finally had no choice but to agree.

"Since we still have some time, I'll find the best repairman to remodel it from the inside out."

"No need, I have a repairman. You just need to open the parts warehouse to me."

Seeing Jin Shu's obvious fondness for the old antique, the regimental commander pulled Jin Yao aside.

"This girl has a strange temper, but I can understand it. Geniuses all have some bad habits, and we should be tolerant of them. It's not easy to produce such a genius-level elite warrior in all these years."

Jin Yao lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice after a long while.

"You know this armored vehicle has a history of wrongdoing, so why drag her into this? What if the division commander finds out..."

"You don't need to worry about that. The division commander likes this girl very much and won't hold it against her for something like this."

It's quite a coincidence, though. Out of so many mechs, she took a liking to the one you used without permission back then...

Please don't mind me saying this.

Jin Yao shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"It's been so many years, what's there to mind? This mech is good, it was my favorite back then."

"It's my fault for dragging it down with me, causing it to be locked in this cage with me for so many years."

Mechs have lives; mechs that can't go to the battlefield will eventually become a pile of scrap metal.

"Yes, back then, Galaxy was an elite battle armor that even the division commander praised. You worked hard alongside it and rose to the position of regimental commander without any background."

Otherwise, with your abilities, staying in the 11th Regiment would be a waste.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore, let's not talk about it."

Jin Yao glanced silently at Jin Shu not far away, feeling a strange, indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Back then... my daughter was about this age..."

The regimental commander sighed deeply.

"It's such a pity about Jin Shu. She was the most outstanding in her class, it's just a pity that she fell short..."

“I know my child. She would never make such a selfish decision. There was something wrong with what happened back then. There must be something wrong!”

The regimental commander held him down and tried to persuade him.

"It's been more than ten years. The mecha that Jin Shu piloted back then can't be found anymore. All the evidence has disappeared. If you keep dwelling on these things, you're just torturing yourself."

Stop causing trouble. You should talk to your sister-in-law about the future.

Jin Yao lowered his eyes and murmured to himself.

"As long as we find the black box inside the mech, we can reconstruct everything that happened back then. I don't believe that such a coincidence could happen. The mech's wings malfunctioned, communications were interrupted, and someone wanted to harm her."

Anyone who has truly thought about this matter will more or less sense that something is amiss.

Given Jin Shu's piloting skills, how could her wings have failed so soon after entering the insectoid lairs? And coincidentally, communication was cut off at that time, so the people at headquarters had no idea what had happened inside the mech.

By the time everything was restored, Jin Shu had already been arrested.

To others, she could have easily destroyed her mech, adhering to the most basic beliefs of a warrior: to sacrifice herself rather than let the secrets of the mech's core be revealed to the Zerg.

But unfortunately, Jin Shu is still alive, and her mecha has been stolen.

The Allied military academy and legion were extremely disappointed in her and were even unwilling to send troops to rescue her.

At that time, Jin Shu became a disgrace to all the Ertes Space Marines. Her name was despised by everyone, and even her father, Jin Yao, could never hold his head up high again.

At this critical moment, Jin Yao, whose reputation was already damaged, made another wrong decision: he secretly used the mecha to rescue Jin Shu.
