Chapter 370
The five members of the Guardian team also boarded the starship.
This was actually not their first time on a starship, but it was definitely their first time on a warship.
Although it is only a small military starship, the deck alone can accommodate at least a hundred mechas with room to spare.
Next, this warship will carry the retired soldiers due to injuries and the mecha team responsible for escorting them across the galaxy to the picturesque Baiguo Star.
Yunmian and his friends quickly saw the target they were escorting this time.
It was breakfast time, so when Yun Mian and the others were taken to the dining room, they saw the group of retired soldiers who looked murderous.
"They look so fierce..." a team of students who entered first muttered quietly.
Yun Mian's gaze passed over these students and turned to the soldiers who were like bloodthirsty blades.
She looks nothing like her mother who is also a soldier.
This is the first impression of Yunmian.
Although my mother wore the same military uniform as them, her eyes were always soft and gentle when she communicated with them.
Yunmian had never sensed such violent temper and bloody murderous intent in her mother that could hurt people just by looking at them.
Even though this group of soldiers were facing a group of students who were assigned a mission, they might have deliberately restrained themselves.
But it still gave a great shock to the students who were exposed to this task for the first time.
After the cadets from each team entered the dining hall, the adult sergeants and young cadets were clearly separated. The entire dining hall was so quiet that only the sounds of chewing and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks could be heard.
This strange atmosphere lasted until the soldiers left one by one. Then the children breathed a sigh of relief as if they had finally escaped a disaster and began to discuss in low voices what they had just seen and heard.
"I just accidentally made eye contact with a soldier." Jiang Yi said calmly, "The other party was very powerful. For a moment, I felt that he would suddenly rush over and strangle me in the next second."
"My parents are also soldiers...why do I look nothing like them?" Huo Chuyi's eyes were full of confusion.
Yun Mian lowered her head and drank a mouthful of porridge. She heard Tang Paopao change his previous reckless tone and whisper, "Because they have nothing left."
Facing the gazes of his teammates, Tang Paopao was silent for a moment, then explained: "All those who retired from the battlefield and were sent to habitable planets basically have no family, so the federal government will take care of them for the rest of their lives."
Their parents are concerned about each other, as they have both parents and children, so the gap between the two is so big that Huo Chuyi feels confused.
"..." Several children fell silent after hearing this.
It wasn't until Yunmian finished the porridge in her bowl that she broke the silence and asked them, "Should we go outside and take a look?"
The starship had already started its jump when they were eating, but they did not have a strong sense of it while on the ship.
Therefore, when walking from the dining room to the central area, Yun Mian looked up at the boundless starry sky outside the glass screen made of special material.
There is a starry sky during the day.
What's more, they are already in the galaxy.
The system recorded the galaxy above.
Yunmian held it and walked forward.
Until they arrived at the larger central area of the ship.
Gathered here are not only retired soldiers, but also escort team trainees, as well as auxiliary medical staff specially equipped on the warship for these soldiers.
Although many jobs in this era have been replaced by intelligent robots, there is only one intelligent master system in the warship, which will not provide perfect nanny service for these retired soldiers who are temporarily on board.
The central area is more like a large and wide square, but it is surrounded by many other facilities and there are also soldiers on duty on the ship.
Perhaps because of the buffer period during the meeting in the dining hall, the atmosphere was not so tense now that they had arrived at the central area. After all, the trainees knew that they were trying to gain the most from this journey, so many people were taking the initiative to approach the retired soldiers who were obviously waiting there.
"Mianmian, let's go over there and take a look." Ning Sang also reached out and pulled Yunmian towards a crowded place.
The five members of the team came to the vicinity in an orderly manner, and then heard the questioning voice of a student in the crowd.
"Senior, can you tell us the difference between the monsters in the virtual battlefield and the real monsters?"
The group of children kept quiet, waiting eagerly for the fierce-looking soldier with one eye blind to answer the question.
The other party didn't seem surprised to hear such a question. Although he thought the group of children was too noisy, he still sneered and answered calmly: "The virtual monsters you encountered in the infant group are just children playing house. When you turn 18 and enter the adult group, the virtual monsters you encounter will be comparable to one real monster when you add up 10 of them."
The group of children widened their eyes in shock at this answer, and disbelief was written all over their childish faces.
"But the monsters we encountered were already very difficult to defeat!" a student retorted unconvinced.
"That's because you are too young and too weak." The soldier had no intention of caring for their young hearts and said coldly, "If you must compare, the S-level beast in your infant group is probably comparable to a C+-level beast in reality."
It's C+, not even B grade.
Students: “…”
QAQThe sky is falling.
The answer to just one question overturned the children's long-held cognition, which undoubtedly dealt them a huge blow. For a moment, they all looked like little flowers that had lacked water and wilted in the sun, looking listless and without any energy.
Yun Mian took this opportunity to squeeze in. After a long time, she finally succeeded in getting close to the soldier. Then, in the silence, she asked her question out of curiosity.
"Uncle, how is your life on the border battlefield?"
The particularly general question left the other party stunned.
Yun Mian glanced at the number and name on his military uniform and knew that this uncle was called Yu Jiang.
So without waiting for Yu Jiang to answer that particularly broad question, he politely threw out a series of questions.
"Uncle Yu, are you eating well? What's the climate like at the border? Do you encounter many exotic beasts every day? If we encounter a wave of exotic beasts, will many people be sacrificed? What are the common exotic beasts at the border? And..."
Polite and noisy.
Yu Jiang: “…”
His cold face gradually became unbearable amid the polite questioning of the child. His eyebrows twitched and he had to interrupt her: "Little guy, you ask too many questions."
Yun Mian shut up, and after a moment she gave him a huge smile, so bright and brilliant without a trace of gloom.
The voice was also crisp: "Then I won't ask anymore, uncle, you can answer slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
The children at the back, who had already been attracted by the content of the question, nodded in unison: We are not in a hurry either.
Yu Jiang: “…”
He began to regret his sudden impulse in the morning. If he had gone back to his room after dinner, this situation would never have happened.
But there was nothing he could do. Dozens of clear and bright eyes were staring at him, and the pressure he felt was no less than that of the strange beasts he encountered.
Yu Jiang could only put on a stern face and temporarily act as a tour guide, describing the daily life on the border battlefield to this group of curious kids in as general and detailed a manner as possible.
Originally, he was just trying to get by, but as more and more children came to listen and the surroundings became quieter, Yu Jiang's tone unconsciously began to reveal a hint of nostalgia and melancholy.
What he had experienced, what he was describing, life and death, blood and fire, mechas, civilians, strange beasts...
Those boring and numb days that he had thought were ordinary and even wanted to get away from, he suddenly realized at this moment that they all had their own colors, every bit of it, no matter how bright or mottled, were all engraved in his memory and would never fade.
As he spoke, perhaps because he could never go back, or because his body and mental strength were injured and exhausted, Yu Jiang's voice gradually became lower, and he finally stopped talking tiredly.
"Thank you, Uncle Yu." Yun Mian looked at him worriedly, her clear and lively eyes slightly curved towards him, and she said softly, "There are many fun places and beautiful scenery on Baiguo Star. Uncle, you must take good care of your injuries when you go there. When we grow up, we will go to the border and continue to fight against the alien beasts to protect the satellite sea."
She didn't make any firm promises, but the little girl's smile was so pure that people didn't doubt what she said at all.
Yu Jiang was stunned for a moment. He was probably a little tired, so he just softened his brows slightly, nodded to Yun Mian, then stood up and left this group of future young soldiers. His back seemed a little lonely, but as straight as ever.
As soon as he left, all the children who had gathered there just now dispersed and continued to choose the next "lucky person" nearby.
In the following period of time, the Guardian Team gradually gained a lot of valuable experience and daily life experience on the border.
After a whole day, Ning Sang found a retired maintenance technician, added him as a friend, and planned to learn a lot from him.
Jiang Yi competed with a retired sniper in various shooting events such as fixed-point shooting and dynamic shooting. He was completely defeated by the opponent throughout the whole process. In the end, he gained a lot of experience in controlling long-range mechas from the opponent.
Huo Chuyi was frightened out of his spirit by a soldier who had a very ethereal aura and was particularly elusive. It turned out that both he and the other soldier's spirit belonged to the cat family, so he was taken away, under the pretext of teaching him how to better learn how to harvest in stealth.
Tang Paopao, with a pocket full of dried fruits and melon seeds, wandered around the entire central area for a day, heard a lot of things about the battlefield, and with his natural ability to make friends, he got to know many classmates and soldiers, and his circle of friends was expanded again.
Yun Mian was the only one left. She, her little dog spirit body and a system light ball strolled in the central area. She heard what Ning Sang and Jiang Yi said after their discussion, listened to what Tang Paopao heard about the battlefield, and learned the stealth driving skills from Huo Chuyi. The system also helped to record the gains of other students, waiting for her to slowly learn and digest them later.
Not only her, but many other kids were hanging around, trying to hear and learn more. Fortunately, the retired sergeants were not too secretive.
They want to pass on everything they know and have learned to young children, even though they are suffering from pain and even though they may not actually like children and only think that they are childish and noisy.
