Above the sky, the setting sun fell on Qin Yanning through the barrier of the fortress.
The girl's whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her face, and other people's moods also improved along with her smile.
Qin Yanning followed Gu Nanting all the way to the dormitory. Only when she got here did she truly feel the cruelty of war.
Many of the sentries coming and going were injured to varying degrees, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
Many sentries who recognized Gu Nanting came to greet the two of them. Gu Nanting was not arrogant and always responded with a smile no matter who they were.
Qin Yanning didn't expect that Gu Nanting, who was respected by the young masters and young ladies of various families on the Capital Star, had such a good popularity in the Third Army.
But after thinking about it carefully, she could understand it.
According to Luo Fu, Gu Nanting took good care of everyone on the space battlefield, and the army has always respected the strong, so it is normal for everyone to respect and like him.
As they walked, Gu Nanting explained the area division of the space fortress to Qin Yanning. The area where the spacecraft was docked today was the periphery of the space fortress.
Whether it is a spaceship delivering supplies or a spaceship heading out on an expedition, most of them are docked in the outer area.
Further in is where the Sentinels train, with a simulated space battlefield and each person's mecha.
The area further inside is divided into three parts. One part is for the sentinels to rest and live, one part is the residence and research institute of the technical soldiers, and the other part is where some of the elderly and weak from the three nearby planets live.
The space fortress was built on three planets. Although it was huge in size, it could not accommodate all the residents of the three planets.
What's more, they also need to complete the most basic production so that they can maintain their survival needs.
Although the Federal Committee allocates a lot of materials every year to support this kind of planet, it is just a drop in the bucket for the residents of the planet.
Inside the space fortress, although the sky cannot block the sunlight, other natural weather conditions inside the fortress are simulated by the fortress's main control, and this environment is not suitable for the normal growth of plants.
Under such circumstances, the Third Army had no choice but to accept children and the elderly from nearby planets to live in the fortress.
The Zerg are ferocious, but the presence of the fortress has largely prevented them from harming the residents of the planet. The fortress can also accommodate the elderly, the weak, and the sick. For the residents, this is already the best outcome.
As for the most confidential core area of the space fortress, Gu Nanting simply took it over with just one sentence.
However, even if Gu Nanting didn't say it, Qin Yanning, who had the original owner's memories, knew what the function of the core area was.
The Third Army’s space fortress is the most advanced fortress in the entire army, and the battlefield it faces is also the most dangerous one.
It can be said that as long as the Third Army’s space fortress is breached, the entire empire will be in danger.
Therefore, the core area of the Third Army's space fortress is equipped with a powerful self-destruct device.
Once activated, the three planets will be destroyed along with the space fortress, and at the same time, the largest black hole in the entire interstellar space will appear.
This is the final killing move and also the means for humans to block the Zerg attack on the battlefield.
Although the original owner of the previous life did not know the specific situation, he also knew that Gu Nanting sacrificed his life, burned his own sea of spiritual energy, detonated the Third Army's space fortress, and finally died together with the Zerg Queen.
However, Qin Yanning also knew that this was a secret of the Third Army and even the empire. Since Gu Nanting didn't say it, she pretended not to know.
The two stopped outside the dormitory building. Gu Nanting entered a key into the machine on the door, "Ningning, come here and enter your iris."
Qin Yanning stood in front of the machine obediently. A light shone into her eyes, and after a moment the machine made a short beep.
The door opened and Qin Yanning looked around the empty hall. The hall was silver-gray from top to bottom, with only the cabinets on both sides of the wall containing neatly arranged various medicines.
Gu Nanting explained, "Guides are our most scarce resource here. These are potions that increase stability."
"But you also know that these medicines only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."
Qin Yanning had also seen this kind of medicine in Gu Nanting's luggage and knew its general effects.
Gu Nanting's room is on the top floor, and Qin Yanning's room is next to him.
After taking the elevator up, Qin Yanning discovered that the living environment on the top floor was relatively better.
"You're not going to give me special treatment, are you?" Qin Yanning asked playfully.
Gu Nanting couldn't help laughing as if he had heard a joke. "The guide lives on this floor. If I gave you some special treatment, you should have stayed in my room."
When Qin Yanning saw Gu Nanting joking with him, he reached out and pinched him lightly.
Gu Nanting was not angry and let Qin Yanning throw a tantrum at him.
Qin Yanning wasn't really angry, and he stopped after making a fuss for a while.
After Gu Nanting settled Qin Yanning down, he went to the training ground. He had been paralyzed for more than a year and had not touched his mecha for more than a year.
If he didn't exercise in the martial arts arena, he was afraid that his joints would rust.
Qin Yanning knew Gu Nanting's physical condition and did not stop him.
Originally, she wanted to go and see Gu Nanting's legendary mecha that cost tens of millions of star coins, but she was too sleepy, so she decided to take a nap first.
Who could believe that her current body would actually be space-sick? She had been suppressing her physiological reactions on the way here, but she couldn't sleep well at night. Now, lying on the small bed in the space fortress, she felt a rare sense of security.
Qin Yanning slept until the next morning. She woke up in a daze, ate something, and then lay back in bed.
It was the alarm in the fortress that woke her up from bed. Qin Yanning simply put on some clothes and opened the door with disheveled hair. She saw the sentries in other rooms all dressed neatly and waiting to go downstairs.
When Gu Nanting opened the door, he saw Qin Yanning greeting Wu Shan with messy hair.
"Xiaoshan, will you lead the team today?" Gu Nanting stared at the badge on Wu Shan's chest and frowned slightly.
Wu Shan nodded and said, "Today is a regular battle, I have no problem leading the team."
Only then did Qin Yanning see the orange tag on Wu Shan's clothes. It turned out that this was the symbol of the leading sentry.
Thinking of the fatigue that Wu Shan could hardly conceal in her eyes yesterday, Qin Yanning reached out and grabbed Wu Shan's wrist.
Wu Shan was frightened by Qin Yanning's actions. Just as she was about to retract her hand, Gu Nanting held her arm down and said, "Don't struggle. Ningning's mental strength is very strong. Let her help you."
A trace of panic flashed across Wu Shan's face, fearing that Qin Yanning would expose the fact she had concealed.
She was not afraid that Qin Yanning was not strong enough, but that she was too strong.
