After the military personnel began to respond, the disabled defense system of Turan Academy was activated again. The transparent light film was like a big umbrella, covering the entire academy, and then gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Qi Yan's feet were numb from squatting. When he stood up, he was pulled by Lu Fenghan and barely managed to avoid falling.
Lu Fenghan looked around. The trees were lush and green. Next to the white sculpture, the fountain water column changed successively. It was impossible to tell that this place had just experienced an attack and explosion.
He asked Qi Yan: "Where are you going now?"
"I want to go see the principal's condition." Before, he only knew that the principal had a broken arm, and there was no time to confirm whether he had any other injuries.
In the meeting room that had been temporarily arranged, the principal saw Qi Yan approaching and asked worriedly, "How are you?"
After saying that, he took a closer look at the man following Qi Yan, guessing that the other party should be the one who protected Qi Yan's safety.
The man stood casually, but his aura was reserved, and his body was as deep as an abyss. After entering the room, he always stood within two steps of Qi Yan - a distance that he could react immediately and protect Qi Yan no matter what happened.
Qi Yan shook his head: "I'm fine, you are more seriously injured than me."
"It's not a big deal, the treatment robot has seen it, it's just a simple fracture and contusion. After I finish dealing with things here, I will go home to rest for two days, and then I will be flexible again." As he said, the principal's eyes could not help but cast out the window.
The originally simple and elegant building has turned into a ruin.
Qi Yan followed his gaze and said, "Your office is gone."
"We can rebuild an office if it's gone, but it's a pity for the books on my bookshelf! They are all unique!" The principal said with a painful look on his face, "If I had known this would happen, I should have put them in the safe!"
Perhaps before this, no one would have thought that the defense system of Turan Academy would suddenly fail. In other words, no one expected that the rebels would take action in Leto.
Qi Yan didn't know how to comfort him, so he just stood there quietly without answering.
In the corridor outside, military personnel were walking around, and reports such as "the launch location of the light pressure missile has been confirmed" could be vaguely heard.
After mourning the destruction of the only copy, the principal turned to Qi Yan and asked him, "Are you scared?"
Qi Yan carefully recalled the scene of the explosion and shook his head, "No."
The principal pressed on, "Why? If we were sitting close to the glass wall, we might have been killed by the scattered glass fragments the moment the wall exploded. Or, if you didn't make a quick decision to leave before the light pressure bomb arrived, we would be in danger now. "It has already been blown to pieces like that building."
He repeated to confirm: "Are you really not afraid?"
Qi Yan still shook his head: "I have always been mentally prepared, so I am not afraid."
At this time, a military person came over and told the principal: "The question you just asked has an answer." He looked serious, "At the same time, a total of 21 similar attacks occurred in the four regions of the entire alliance."
The principal's lips curled up slightly: "What is the specific situation?"
"Three scientific researchers were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured. Fortunately."
Fortunately, there was no death.
The principal finally let out a sigh of relief.
After everyone left, the principal smiled bitterly: "The rebels really played a good chess game. Such a large-scale attack will definitely not be concealed, and the media and Starnet will be in an uproar for a long time."
Qi Yan nodded: "Their purpose is very clear. Naturally, the larger the scope and the more attention, the better."
The principal nodded slowly: "You say, nowadays, the equation of 'being a scientific researcher = death' has been established in the minds of most people?"
Qi Yan did not answer this question, but simply said: "But there are some things that you can't avoid doing even if you may die at any time."
The tone was flat, but firm.
Lu Fenghan, who had been standing behind Qi Yan, leaning against the wall, listening to them quietly, raised his eyelids and glanced at Qi Yan.
Soon after leaving Turan Academy, all the headlines of the news were related to this attack. The Leto Daily even had a front-page headline with a line of bold black characters that took up the entire page.
Qi Yan didn't go out for several days. He was either reading or sitting on the windowsill, staring out the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Fenghan couldn't help but worry, staying at home every day, was he bored? Just like before, when he was floating in space with a starship for more than half a year, he would also find an opportunity to land on a planet and take a walk.
After pouring a cup of warm water and handing it to Qiyan, Lu Fenghan suggested: "Do you want to go out for dinner tonight? Is there anything you want to eat?"
Qiyan took a few seconds to withdraw his attention from the question he was thinking about. He took the cup of water and pointed out: "The day I met you was the first day I returned to Leto."
So I don't know what food Leto has.
"Then do you have any requirements for the place to eat?"
Qiyan thought for a while: "Quiet, few people, no noise."
In view of the results of observation over the past few days, Lu Fenghan automatically added fresh ingredients, good taste of dishes, elegant environment, and no service robots to these three requirements.
After a screening, only a few restaurants met the standards - there are only a handful of restaurants that are not equipped with service robots.
Lu Fenghan chose the nearest one: "Let's go and have dinner."
The black modified suspension car drove along the expressway all the way, leaving only a faint afterimage on the road. Finally, it braked at the critical moment and parked accurately in the parking space.
There was a big red suspension car parked next to it. Through the car window, Qi Yan's eyes stayed on it for two seconds.
The door slid open, Qi Yan stepped on the ground, and heard someone calling him: "Qi Yan?"
Qi Yan looked over.
Red jacket, black ripped pants, three skull metal rings on the earlobes.
"Xia Zhiyang."
Xia Zhiyang had a baby face and a bright smile. He walked a few steps closer and said, "I was just telling my friend that the car was driven so hard and the last brake was really amazing. So I waited to see who was getting off the car. I didn't expect to run into you!"
He saw Lu Fenghan getting off the driver's seat and asked Qi Yan, "Are you guys coming to eat too?"
Qi Yan nodded, "Yes."
Xia Zhiyang scratched his head and said, "My friend and I are coming too. If you don't mind, let's go together. He is also from Turan College." He said, pointing to the person who got off the car next to him.
Qi Yan didn't care. To him, whether there were two people or four people, they were all having a meal.
The group sat down in the private room, which was decorated in a unique way. Under the holographic projection, countless burning candles floated in the night sky, magnificent and peaceful.
Xia Zhiyang introduced him first: "This is Qi Yan, Qi for prayer and Yan for language. He will be with us at the beginning of the school year. He will be a sophomore at Tulane College."
The other person understood immediately after hearing this. His last name is Qi. It seems that this person is the young master of the Qi family who left Leto more than ten years ago and went to live with his grandparents in the Messier region.
Xia Zhiyang continued to introduce: "He is my good brother, Chen Mingxuan, a sophomore at the beginning of the school year. Like me, he is majoring in artificial intelligence."
Chen Mingxuan looks a bit mixed-race. He seems to be used to smiling at the corners of his mouth. His expression is gentle and he looks easy to get along with.
Qi Yan greeted: "Hello."
The ordered dishes had not yet arrived, and several people chatted. Xia Zhiyang asked Qi Yan a few questions about the situation in the Messier region, but no matter what the topic was, Qi Yan's answers were very concise. Chen Mingxuan was interested and saw that Qi Yan was cold. After expressing his closeness, he did not pull Qi Yan to talk more.
As they chatted, the topic naturally turned to the explosion at Turan Academy.
"As soon as the news came out, the Star Network exploded! I was playing a game when I suddenly saw the whole screen saying that the principal was injured and the entire office building was blown up." Xia Zhiyang sighed, "I heard that after this, Turan's protection system will be upgraded to a higher level. When the principal recovers from his injury and returns to school, it will be much safer."
Chen Mingxuan nodded, "The principal will definitely return to school. If the principal of Turan dares not show up because of fear, where will the face of the Alliance and the military be?"
"With more than twenty explosions this time, all regions have become sieves. Do the Alliance and the military still have face?" Xia Zhiyang sighed again, "The rebels are so despicable! However, the top 10 to 20 on the blacklist are basically code names, and their real names cannot be confirmed. The rebels can't find anyone, and they don't even know whether it is one person or a group of people behind the code name. They must be worried to death!"
Chen Mingxuan: "It's not necessarily a sieve, but there is news that there is a traitor inside this time. The matter is so serious, the military will definitely clean it up from top to bottom."
Xia Zhiyang leaned back in his chair and drew out his tone, "I don't know when the military will do it. If I can be more powerful, I can wipe out all the rebels. When the time comes, I will definitely find out whether the code name of God Y, who is number one on the blacklist, is one person or a group of people behind this code name! "
When he mentioned this title, his expression became excited and he sat up straight abruptly: "Isn't the letter Y commonly used? But no one dares to have the same name as him! How dare a mortal have the same name as a god? Three years ago, the code name 'Y' came out of nowhere and landed directly on the top of the blacklist. In the past three years, it has been ranked first on the blacklist! The reason why I gritted my teeth and memorized the books and begged my father to spend money to send me to Turan was to be able to get one step closer to God Y!"
"Don't go crazy when God Y is mentioned. You have a good idea. Looking at the situation on the front line, we have to wait." Chen Mingxuan shook the drink in the cup and thought, "My dad talked to me again a few days ago and asked me to change my major. He said that doing scientific research now is too unsafe and you can lose your life if you are not careful."
Xia Zhiyang laughed and almost turned over his chair: "I'm not saying this, Mingxuan. With your poor grades in the final exams, even if you do scientific research for a lifetime, you can't be the last on the blacklist! Tell your dad, you're worrying too much!"
Chen Mingxuan laughed and scolded, "Get out!"
Qi Yan held a glass of ice drink, his fingertips soaked in coolness. He thought, this is probably what the principal said. In most people's minds, the equation "being a scientific researcher = death" has been established.
The topics that Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan talked about were very broad, ranging from Leto's eating, drinking and entertainment, to the latest news, to all the gossips in the social circle.
"By the way, I received an invitation from the Qi family two days ago, saying that they are going to hold a celebration party." Xia Zhiyang knew that Qi Yan did not live in the Qi family, so he asked carefully, "Will you go?"
Qi Yan remembered what Qi Wenshao mentioned in the previous call, and was not interested: "I'm not going."
"Then I won't go either," Xia Zhiyang nudged the person next to him with his elbow, "Mingxuan, what about you?"
Chen Mingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Celebrate Jiang Qi's admission to Turan College? You can imagine it, who of you and I gets into Turan and needs to hold a celebration banquet? Only Jiang Qi has so many things, and he wants to make everyone know about the smallest things. If you don't go, I will find you to play games then."
They said this mainly to express their stance in front of Qi Yan.
From their point of view, Qi Yan had not been in Leto before, and Jiang Qi was the child brought into the Qi family when Jiang Yunyue married Qi Wenshao. He could barely be called the young master of the Qi family. Now that the real young master is back, Jiang Qi naturally has nothing to do.
Feeling that he was on the same front with Qi Yan, Xia Zhiyang pretended to clear his throat and couldn't help asking: "Qi Yan, that?"
He pointed at Lu Fenghan with his eyes.
Since getting off the car, he noticed that this man had been following Qi Yan and had no intention of greeting them at all.
After entering the private room, Qi Yan didn't introduce him, so he was embarrassed to ask.
Now that he felt that the relationship was closer, it was not so presumptuous, so he asked.
Qi Yan tilted his head to look at Lu Fenghan.
Lu Fenghan sat with his long legs spread out, his hands in his pockets, his chin raised towards Qi Yan, and smiled: "I will protect his personal safety."
Xia Zhiyang yelled: "Qi Yan, where did you find the bodyguard?"
He was tall and had long legs, a good-looking face, and an extremely domineering aura. Although his muscles were not too eye-catching, they clearly contained extremely strong explosive power.
There was also a faint aura on his body that Xia Zhiyang was unfamiliar with.
This made him subconsciously shrink slightly, and he was inexplicably a little scared.
Qi Yan replied, "I picked it up on the street."
Thinking that Qi Yan didn't want to reveal the origin of this person and just made up a random excuse, Xia Zhiyang didn't ask any more questions. Chen Mingxuan on the side interrupted at the right time: "By the way, I heard that Mengge will also go to the Qi family's celebration banquet."
Xia Zhiyang: "Mengge? In order to create momentum for his adopted son, Qi Wenshao has spent a lot of money!"
Qi Yan noticed from the corner of his eye that when he heard the name "Mengge", Lu Fenghan raised his eyes, his expression slightly moved, but as if he was hiding something, he became nonchalant again.
Qi Yan asked: "Who is Mengge?"
Xia Zhiyang replied: "He is a military man, who has been in charge of connecting with the front line. According to inside information, it is said that his position will be promoted soon."
After saying that, he was a little worried that Qi Yan would be sad.
It is rare to see such partiality in the family. He thought, on the day of the celebration banquet, should he go with Chen Mingxuan to take Qiyan to do something interesting to relax.
Chen Mingxuan saw that Qiyan was interested in Monger, and continued Xia Zhiyang's words: "However, since the defeat on the front line, his situation in Leto is not going well. It is hard to say whether his position can be promoted."
Lu Fenghan did not interrupt.
The army confronting the rebels on the front line of the Southern Cross Region does not belong to the Fourth Alliance Army of the Southern Cross Region, but to the Central Army, with the number of the Expeditionary Force.
That is why Leto has a special department responsible for connecting with the front line.
But this department is in a rather awkward situation.
For the Expeditionary Force, it is located in Leto and is naturally under the command of the Central Army. For the Central Army, it is the mouthpiece of the Expeditionary Force and stands on the side of the Expeditionary Force. A big victory on the front line is fine, but once a defeat is won, it will definitely be frowned upon everywhere.
The reason why Lu Fenghan had an impression of this man named Monger was because his adjutant mentioned him several times in front of him.
Thinking of this, the adjutant's dying scream rang in his ears again, with blood in his throat: "Commander, there must be something wrong... Our jump point has been exposed. It is impossible for the enemy to know in advance and ambush outside the jump point in advance!"
Yes, how could they know in advance?
Everything that seems impossible may be true.
If it is not foresight -
it can only be man-made.
At this moment, Qi Yan sensitively noticed that Lu Fenghan's aura became extremely cold, as if he was a beast lurking in the dark in the jungle, quietly gathering strength.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said to Xia Zhiyang: "I will be there." Lu
Fenghan's eyes suddenly turned to Qi Yan.
Xia Zhiyang was stunned: "Celebration banquet?"
"Yes, celebration banquet."
Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan looked at each other.
Qi Yan had just returned, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was about to enter the enemy's lair...
Thinking of this, Xia Zhiyang felt a strong sense of responsibility: "Then we will go with you! By the way, the chef of the Qi family is good, let's try it."
More than ten dishes were ordered for this meal. Qi Yan picked and chose, and barely found two edible ones. He was the first to put down his chopsticks.
After observing, Lu Fenghan's cognition of Qi Yan went to a higher level.
Too sweet, don't eat. Too spicy, don't eat. Too hot, don't eat. Too sour and salty, don't eat.
Oh, too light, don't eat.
Lu Fenghan was a little curious, how did Qi Yan survive the past 18 years?
No wonder his wrists were so thin.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qi Yan who had eaten almost half of the fried rice, and asked the waiter to notify the kitchen to make another portion and pack it up for him to take away.
Holding the lunch box, Lu Fenghan thought, if he ate so little, he could have it as a midnight snack if he was hungry at night.
