Qi Yan heard Lu Fenghan's breathing become heavier.

He suddenly came to his senses and realized what he had done. He was worried that he might have hurt Lu Fenghan, so he wanted to loosen his teeth and back away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Fenghan's hand that was supporting his ear loosened, inserted into the gap between his neck and the back of the chair, and supported the back of his head to prevent him from moving.

Understanding the hint of Lu Fenghan's actions, Qi Yan lowered his eyelashes, rubbed the muscles on the side of Lu Fenghan's neck with his teeth, and then touched it twice with the tip of his tongue.

He immediately noticed that Lu Fenghan had become tense.

"Are you satisfied with the biting?"

Hearing the hoarse voice, Qi Yan was slow to answer after a few seconds: "...very satisfied."

Lu Fenghan leaned against his ear and

said in a low voice: "Is it my turn now?" Qi Yan thought it was fair, so he agreed: "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Lu Fenghan imitate his movements and also leaned against his neck.

Just when he began to wonder if Lu Fenghan would bite him, a tingling sensation that made his fingertips tremble rose from all the nerve endings under the skin! At

this moment, he realized that his neck was so sensitive!

It was just a kiss.

Even his spine began to soften. Qi Yan subconsciously tried to avoid the contact, but was pressed into the seat by the other party without rejection.

In two seconds, Qi Yan had no strength left, and his eyes were covered with a layer of water.

He loosely grasped Lu Fenghan's clothes: "General..."

The reconnaissance ship floated quietly in the space. After stopping, the noise caused by the operation also disappeared, and the subtle movement of the friction of the clothes began to become particularly clear.

Between rapid breaths, Qi Yan, who was trapped in the small space, shouted hoarsely again: "General... General..."

Lu Fenghan said "hmm".

The ripples caused by the sound in the air made Qi Yan's ears tingle.

The cold white skin on the side of Qi Yan's neck had become red and hot from being kissed. Lu Fenghan's rough thumb gently rubbed it, causing Qi Yan to shudder again.

The color in his eyes also became heavier.

The collar was messy, exposing the dent of the collarbone. Lu Fenghan mobilized all his rationality and kissed Qi Yan's thin lips that were usually coldly pursed with extreme restraint, suppressing the roiling male hormones.

When Lu Fenghan looked at the side of Qi Yan's neck again, he realized that although he was controlling his strength, Qi Yan's skin was white and delicate, and he still looked like he was being bullied.

Qi Yan pulled the collar: "It doesn't hurt, it's just itchy." He touched it himself and let out a slight "hiss".

Lu Fenghan held his wrist: "Don't touch it," he said, and found the healing gel on the ship, squeezed a little on his fingertips, and rubbed it on Qiyan's skin.

The cool feeling was very comfortable.

Qiyan couldn't help but look at the shadow reflected on the porthole.

Lu Fenghan's sleeves were half rolled up, revealing a cold brow, but his eyes were very gentle.

After checking eight signal base stations, the damage rate was 25%. While waiting for the small maintenance robot to work, Qi Yan held his forehead with his hand and asked Lu Fenghan: "What was the general like when he was the same age as me?"

"Ten years ago?" Lu Fenghan recalled, "I was admitted to the First Military Academy as an exception when I was fifteen, and graduated from the First Military Academy as an honorary graduate when I was nineteen. I was placed in the Central Administrative District by General Nie, but I got bored after staying there for a month."

Qi Yan listened carefully: "Why?"

"There is no war in the Alliance star field. The Southern Cross Region is close to the front line, so it's okay. In the Central Administrative Region, especially Leto, when there is a robbery in the street, it takes more than ten or twenty people to go out together and still can't control the criminals. Breathing the same air with them makes me feel insulted."

Ten years ago, Lu Fenghan was a young man with high aspirations and believed in speaking with violence. After he couldn't stay in the garrison any longer, he turned around and looked for Nie Huaiting.

"General Nie asked me if I had made up my mind and was sure I wanted to join the expeditionary force. I said yes, and he gave me a transfer order." Lu Fenghan tapped the joystick twice with his fingers. "At that time, I hadn't experienced the wickedness of human hearts. Looking back, I realized that General Nie had already written the transfer order and was waiting for me to find him."

Qi Yan: "General Nie wants you to recognize your own heart?"

"Almost. People of his age always like to create some mystery, calling it a test for young people. But in reality, most people have already decided where they want to go and what kind of life they want to live. Only a few people may suddenly realize or undergo a painful transformation after experiencing a major turning point."

Lu Fenghan continued, "After joining the expeditionary army, it was very boring. There was nothing much to say. Every day, I trained, fought, and accumulated military merits to get promoted. It was more interesting when I was in the First Military Academy." Speaking of the First

Military Academy, Qi Yan recalled what Lu Fenghan said when he stepped into the gate of Turan Academy: "The first loser in the alliance, the most corrupt Leto?"

"Yes, the First Military Academy is so poor that we often look at Turan from across the river and wonder how your school can have so much money. Especially when the climate detection and control system is activated, it rains heavily and the whole Turan Academy is shrouded in fog, and this doubt reaches its peak."

When Lu Fenghan was young, he also despised the students of Turan, saying that except for their brains, everything else was just decoration.

He mentioned: "One night, I suddenly had an idea and decided to climb over the wall to get something to eat. I was in charge of the overall plan, and the detective was in charge of avoiding the patrol instructor. When we got to the wall, two technical soldiers were in charge of destroying the surveillance and anti-intrusion systems. Just when we were about to succeed, a large searchlight suddenly lit up, and we realized that the plan had been discovered from the beginning. The school wanted to know how far we could go, so they deliberately watched the show, and then when we were one step away from victory, a basin of cold water was poured on us."

Qi Yan was very interested: "How old was the general at that time?"

"When I was sixteen, I was full of energy and my head was full of water, so I would shake it if shaken. The basin of cold water poured down on me made me sober up a lot." Lu Fenghan recalled and found that he could no longer remember the name and appearance of the person who was punished to write a self-criticism and receive additional training.

After hesitating for two seconds, Qi Yan asked, "After the general joined the expeditionary force, did he return to Leto?"

"I think I returned once." Lu Fenghan recalled carefully and found that his memory was a little fuzzy. "General Nie was assassinated and seriously injured. I rushed back to Leto, and later I seemed to have received a temporary mission."

At this time, Po Jun, who had been acting as an invisible artificial intelligence, spoke: "Sorry, Adjutant Vincent sent a communication request from the base. Do you want to connect?"

Vincent would not be so anxious for ordinary matters. Lu Fenghan frowned: "Connect."

Three seconds later, across the long distance, Vincent's voice with a hint of noise rang out: "Commander, we found something in the supply ship you sent back!"

"What is it?"

"About the sniper plan for the 23rd, 31st, and 57th on the sniper blacklist!" Vincent spoke very quickly, "This supply ship does not belong to One-Eyed Dragon and Black Jack. It should have been towed here from somewhere else by the two pirates and happened to be encountered by you, commander. The sniper location is near the star Toria in the Southern Cross Region. Judging from the time, the action has just started!"

Po Jun lit up the star map, and a planet was lit up.

Qi Yan quickly extracted useful information from his memory: "The 23rd on the blacklist is Ling Qishui, the 31st is Shockley, and the 57th is Richards. They all belong to the Department of Physics, and their research fields are all particle inverters. According to the files, their birthplaces are in the Southern Cross Region."

Vincent: "After analysis, the probability of us being 'fished' is no more than 13%."

The implication is that there is still a 13% probability that this is a trap set by the rebels for them.

With his eyes slightly drooping, Lu Fenghan made a decision in just ten seconds: "Prepare for rescue."

"Yes!"

Passing through countless planets and rubble, thousands of stars away, a starship was shaking and about to fall.

A young voice rang out on the radio: "Hello, I am a lieutenant in the Fourth Army of the Southern Cross Region. My name is Hahn. My superior, Major Wang Wenxin, died two minutes ago. I will take over his mission to escort the enemy."

He seemed a little shy. "You can ask me any questions you have."

In the cockpit, Hahn finished speaking, exhaled, and was a little dazed - he was a little afraid of being asked questions, because he might not be able to answer them.

A few hours ago, he was on duty on the star of Toriya in the Southern Cross Region. His superior, Colonel Wang Wenxin, suddenly appeared in front of him and gestured to him: "Follow me."

He followed him in a daze and boarded a small ship.

It was not until the small ship set off from the starport and flew into space that he realized it was a confidential mission.

Because the mission was important, in order to ensure that the information was not leaked, they usually dispatched directly with temporary personnel.

After a period of sailing, they received three middle-aged men from a space station.

Hahn was careful to observe the rules and did not say a word. He followed Shangguan quietly and only pieced together from the information he occasionally heard that these three people should be scientists. They had just conducted some kind of scientific experiment in the space station and were now returning to Toriya to consider whether to transfer from Toriya to the front line.

He had a vague idea - it was related to the front line and must be very important.

So he was extremely alert.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, they encountered a sudden attack by the rebels. After two rounds of exchange of fire, he realized that it was not an accident. The rebels were targeting the three scientists!

However, in order to minimize the movement, they only dispatched seven small ships and a reconnaissance ship.

Soon, under the fierce attack of the enemy, his superior Wang Wenxin drove the reconnaissance ship to ram the enemy with the port side damaged by artillery fire, disrupting the enemy's formation by self-detonation.

He thought of the flames that ignited when the starship exploded, pursed his lips, and added through the radio: "Sorry, I have to explain in advance that we may not be able to complete this escort mission."

A gentle female voice rang out in his link: "Don't blame yourself, even if you die here, we are just returning to where we came from. Human beings are made up of many elements, 1% of which comes from the explosion of white dwarfs, 9.5% from the Big Bang, 16.5% from extinguished small stars, and 73% from the explosion of "We are all just big stars, and we are all stardust."

Hahn was stunned and whispered, "This is very romantic."

Another person replied, "Of course, physics is the most romantic subject in the universe. If the timing of our meeting is right and you are interested, I can tell you all the romance! For example, when you think about it, we are actually traveling through the aftermath of the Big Bang, whether it is a nebula or a galaxy, they are all floating ashes. "This is

the first time Hahn has heard such a statement.

This statement is so beautiful that it temporarily stopped his fear.

But soon, the "beeping" alarm sound on the console called him back to his senses.

"I will try my best to escort you back to Toriya!" Hahn took a deep breath, "Because I really want to hear your stories about the universe."

Behind the cockpit, Ling Qishe smiled and said, "He's a good kid. If he can go back alive this time, I'd like to tell him all the stories I know."

Richards, a middle-aged woman with long blond hair, leaned against the metal wall: "If Shockley hadn't died, he would have been happy to do the same as us."

Shockley and Hahn's superior, Major Wang Wenxin, were on the reconnaissance ship together. The two reached a consensus to open a way out for them by self-destruction.

Richards held an optical storage device in her hand, which contained Shockley's lifelong research efforts.

At this moment, the entire starship shook violently, and then Hahn's voice came from the radio: "Sorry, I didn't dodge in time just now, and the tail wing was hit by the enemy, but fortunately, the damage is not serious."

Obviously he tried his best to remain calm, but you could still hear panic.

He seemed to be explaining the situation to the "passengers", but also seemed to be comforting himself.

Ling Qishui asked, "How old are you this year?"

In the cockpit, Hahn heard the question and answered, "Twenty-three years old, and I have graduated from military school for a year."

He swallowed hard, gripped the joystick tightly, and said, "I know you are trying to relieve my nervousness and fear. Thank you, but I am not afraid anymore. On the first day I became a soldier, I swore an oath to use bones as blades and blood as shields, and to move forward only for the Alliance. Just now... I was actually very scared, but after reciting this sentence several times, I gained some courage."

At this moment, another starship was blown to ashes by the rebels' artillery fire. Hahn faced the direction of the explosion and silently saluted.

He didn't know if he could complete the mission, but he had to try his best.

A few minutes later, only three of the seven small ships that set out from Toria were left in the battle circle, and the rebels still retained half of their combat power and gradually closed the encirclement.

Hahn gradually realized that the rebels did not want to take their lives directly, and were even trying to avoid direct artillery fire on the hull - it was more like they wanted to capture them alive.

After thinking for two seconds, Hahn opened the communication again: "The rebels seem to want to capture you alive."

"Yes, we have a new technology in our hands called 'particle inverter', which should be of great use on the battlefield on the front line. At first we were still feeling lucky, but now it seems that the rebels got the news from somewhere and want to seize this technology."

Hahn had never encountered such a situation before, and it had never been taught in class, so he couldn't help but ask: "What should we do?"

Ling Qishen's voice was always gentle and calm: "You can do whatever you want. Charles and I have reached an agreement. Before we fall into the hands of the enemy, we will empty and destroy all the optical storage devices that store data, and we will also end our lives. This technology has no It is a pity to be sent to the front line, but it must not fall into the hands of the rebels. "

After listening, Hahn gripped the joystick tightly: "Ending your own life... won't you be unwilling?"

Charles replied: "Of course I will be unwilling, we still have many secrets about the universe to know. But even if we die, there will be future generations, and humans will never stop looking up at the stars, this is enough."

Another starship was blown up nearby.

In the dangerous situation, the enemy ships surrounding them were like ferocious beasts with bared fangs and claws, revealing their fangs and about to open their bloody mouths.

Hahn frantically reviewed the knowledge he had learned about how to deal with the enemy.

He didn't want to give up!

He was unwilling to let Ling Qishen and Charles die with regrets!

The enemy wanted to avoid hitting the ship and capture him alive, so this might be a breakthrough...

The enemy ship's turret rose and aimed at his starboard side. Hahn quickly predicted and then pulled the joystick hard. The entire starship shifted abruptly and narrowly avoided the attack.

You must think of a way, you must -

at this moment, an arc of light like a rainbow came into view, from far to near, and the dazzling light of the laser cannon even made Hahn squint.

Silent explosion.

The enemy ship that pointed its gun at him was accurately hit!
