Chapter 530 Night Watch
Why is Liu Yueban happy?
Because it hurts.
This is what it feels like to be on guard duty at night.
It’s my first time to the station. Wow, it’s so fresh and cool. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful!
Nothing can stand being done repeatedly.
When I stood there for the second time, the feeling began to change.
First 30 minutes: OK.
30-60 minutes: My waist feels sore, my legs feel numb, and I feel a little sleepy.
60-90 minutes: When will the shift change? I can’t open my eyes and my waist is so sore.
Especially the high-intensity training during the day and the need to stand guard at night.
The probability of an emergency occurring is low, and daily night duty is a boring and uncomfortable job.
Especially the second and fifth shifts, when you have to get up just when you are about to fall asleep.
Especially since Liu Yueban has been suffering from insomnia recently, it would be inhumane to ask him to get up at that time.
Standing guard does not affect training the next day, and you still have to get up on time.
So what do the new recruits do when they are on guard duty? What are they thinking?
Believe me, in those ninety minutes, he probably thought about his entire life.
Perhaps the protagonist has changed several times, enough to complete the settings of several popular novels.
When there is nothing left to think about, like Liu Yue, he should be like this.
10:55 Get up and take over
11:00 Handover completed
11:05 Stand and take a nap
11:10 Open my eyes and check the time (fuck, only five minutes), then close them again
11:15 Open your eyes and check the time (mmp) Close your eyes
…
12:25 Damn, why hasn’t the person taking over arrived yet?
When standing guard alone, it is easy to fall asleep while standing.
If there are two of them, they can chat quietly while wearing protective masks, but they must also be vigilant at all times, after all, the captain will check the sentry.
But it’s different now. There is a person of the opposite sex standing next to me. I finally don’t have to fantasize about whether she is a junior schoolmate, a female doctor, or a female communications soldier. At least I have a concrete image, and at least I can talk to her.
The two chatted casually.
Yun Mo looked at the surveillance camera on the roadside and the pitch-black mountains in the distance. He sighed, "They say that soldiers die in a hundred battles, and their horses return with their bodies wrapped. Tell me, are we burying a lot of corpses here too?"
Liu Yue shuddered and turned slowly to look at her, feeling a little regretful and a little uneasy.
He is a good young man from the interstellar world. He holds high the banner of materialism and never believes in anything supernatural.
Even if the lights suddenly go out and darkness appears everywhere while he is staying in a hotel, he can calmly call the front desk to inform them that the voice-controlled lights are broken or the visual simulation system is malfunctioning.
And now, ever since he had "opened his eyes" on Sana Star and seen the various "qi" that were everywhere, he knew there might be another reason.
To this end, he even went to watch some horror movies that were popular in the ancient Earth era. The clumsy props that he once sneered at were now deeply rooted in his heart and could not be dug out.
People say that fear comes from the unknown. Liu Yueban wanted to curse, but he was afraid because he knew.
Fuck, what is this!
Liu Yueban made small talk: "Are you cold?"
Yun Mo gathered her clothes and said, "A little bit, I can't tell. It's quite cold at night."
Liu Yueban suddenly felt like he had won a game, and he tightened his grip on his gun and said, "Although I really want to lend you a coat, but... I'm a little cold too."
Yunmo: …
Watching him shrink his neck, Yun Mo glanced at the distant white shadow from the corner of her eye. The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes looked fixed in that direction.
Liu Yueban also looked over there: "Hey? Why is there someone here in the middle of the night? And a woman? Is that the direction of the family quarters?"
Yun Mo frowned and didn't respond.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question."
"What?" Yun Mo turned around and asked him.
Liu Yueban raised his hand in that direction: "It's so late there, how come there is someone there?"
"Who is it?" Yun Mo asked.
Liu Yueban was so frightened by her that he almost hiccupped. "No, it was such an obvious figure, didn't you see it?" He pulled Yunmo forward two steps, "Where is the person?"
Yun Mo looked him up and down with a probing look in her eyes, but she said nothing.
Liu Yueban broke out in a sweat. "No, don't scare me. You really didn't see it? I can't be dazzled, right? Or did you open my eyes again?!"
Yun Mo spread her hands: "I didn't do anything!"
"No, that's not possible." Liu Banyue instinctively grabbed Yunmo's clothes and rubbed against her like a young wife. "Are you kidding me? How could there be something I can see that you can't?"
"Yeah," Yunmo said.
Liu Yueban couldn't help but pull her closer to the light. "I beg you, what does 'ang' mean? Did you see it?"
Yun Mo clapped her legs and laughed twice. Liu Yueban immediately understood what she meant and was so angry that he almost went berserk.
What a petty person! He just refused to give you a coat.
This scared away the sleepiness, and after a long rest, Liu Yueban finally succumbed to loneliness and boredom again.
Standing guard is a piece of cake for Yunmo. There are so many things she can do and she won’t be bored at all.
But Liu Yueban couldn't stand it any longer. He muttered, "You almost scared me to death."
Yun Mo twitched her lips and said, "There are all kinds of species in the interstellar space. There are so many unknown things. It can't be that bad, right?"
"As for that," Liu Yue subconsciously raised his voice.
"Actually, cause and effect are cyclical, and you haven't done anything wrong, so don't worry," Yun Mo patted his shoulder.
Liu Yue rolled his eyes, as if suddenly remembering something. "Ah, speaking of this fear, it suddenly occurred to me that 'Morning Light' from Gliese. Didn't I bring back some? I sent it to the lab for testing, and under certain circumstances, it can amplify one's senses."
"Oh? How to enlarge it?" Yun Mo became a little interested in this rare species.
"But it should be a negative emotion, like if you're afraid of something. Perhaps under its influence, something will appear in your eyes."
"Yo..." Yun Mo couldn't help but whistle: "Should I let it know that I'm afraid of money?"
Liu Yueban: ...Bah, just dream your own dream.
The two chatted idly for a while, and then talked about their plans to fight against Xiao Feng. Time passed quickly.
At 12:25, the next shift of sentries came to take over, scanned their pupils and clocked in, and they prepared to drink nutritional supplements.
I don't know when it started, but every colleague who was laid off would deliberately tear off the label of the nutritional supplement in front of the new employee, then drink it with a sense of ritual. Under the envious gaze of the replacement, they would take small steps back to sleep...
It's a mad and crazy act that is simply asking for trouble, but it has been passed down.
However, after being laid off, Yunmo did not go back as usual.
Liu Yueban followed her closely: "Where are you going?"
Yun Mo turned around and said, "Go meet the person who just scared you."
Liu Yueban: ...
The two walked along the path, passed several guard posts, reported the commands, and arrived at the family area.
The family quarters are on the same route as the dormitory, and are where officers with their families live. It has the roughness and simplicity of a military camp, and the only decorations are probably the rockery stones made from local materials.
The light was not very bright. Under the moonlight, the long shadow of the rockery was projected on the ground. Two of the shadows swayed and overlapped with the shadows on the ground.
Ules stood behind the rockery, staring at Yunmo with gloomy eyes: "Pooh"
Fan Jian followed his gaze and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Ures looked around. This area was a blind spot and he had already taken care of the surveillance. It was a good opportunity.
