Chapter 148 [Added] Please approve and return me double the amount after you come back...
On hot summer nights, Sava always likes to make himself some cool snacks while on night duty.
At this moment, he was eating an old popsicle while watching a movie through the zoom-out window on the operating table. I was watching "Godzilla vs. Kong", a commercial film that was full of bombast and that was it.
The scene was showing two monsters colliding head-on on the aircraft carrier platform, and Sava's eyes blurred, and he unexpectedly saw a figure flying over. He subconsciously reached out to grab it, and when he looked closely, oh, it was not Godzilla, but Huo Yuan with bloodshot eyes.
Sava joked, "How come this happened after answering a phone call? What's going on? A kidnapping call?"
His words were unintentional, but they unintentionally hit Huo Yuan's soft spot. Huo Yuan was immediately enraged and raised his elbow to fight back:
"Let go."
Sava was so shocked that he let go and glared at him: "Why are you so fierce? I was just asking you a question out of kindness."
Seeing Huo Yuan's serious expression, he slowed down his voice and asked, "Did Land tell you bad news? You are so out of control... Is there something wrong with the club?"
Sava is a man of broad mind, and when it comes to important matters, his mind works very quickly.
As he expected, Huo Yuan admitted stiffly: "Yes. I'm going to save people."
"What did Land say?"
"He told me not to go."
Sava crossed his arms and nodded, "You should have listened to him."
This may sound reasonable when it comes from Land, who has no vested interests in the matter. Sava's words aroused Huo Yuan's rebellious heart:
"I didn't ask for your opinion. It's none of your business."
"Hey...don't be too harsh."
Huo Yuan quickly packed up his personal belongings in the command cabin, and said without raising his head: "What qualifications do you have to judge me, you little master who doesn't care about worldly things?"
Sava was stunned for a second and almost laughed out of anger: "Okay, I don't care about worldly things, then you get off our boat."
Huo Yuan felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He glanced at the popsicle sticks left over from Sava's movie, and became extremely dissatisfied with his nonchalant attitude.
This young master from an aristocratic family had never suffered any hardship in his life. He was loved by his grandfather at home, protected by Jellyfish when he grew up, and even when Wild Star came, Sava hardly suffered any hardship because he had his good brother Bai Ling to protect him.
Thinking about himself, Huo Yuan was stopped by the other party even when he wanted to save the society he founded.
Why? He knows nothing!
Huo Yuan sneered and waved his hand to point at the night watch light outside the porthole: "Young Master, open your eyes and take a good look outside. I brought those night watchmen here, and Bai Ling paid for the city construction. Apart from talking without any pain in your back and guiding the training when you are in a good mood, what else have you done?"
Seeing Sava's face gradually turn pale, Huo Yuan, relying on the fact that he was three years older than him, taught him coldly:
"If I were you, I would feel that the title of second in command is empty."
"That's enough!"
Before he could finish his words, Huo Yuan heard a sudden gust of wind in his ears. When he reacted, Sava had already punched him, hitting his head and making a deep hole in the wall.
Sava gnashed his teeth, his chest rising and falling violently, and said in one breath:
"Since you are not convinced, I will give you the position of second in command! I am leaving!"
He turned and left without even a glance.
Huo Yuan stood there for a while, feeling a slight pain in his chest. He always seems to be like this, too stubborn and too stubborn to let go of his old ideas, so that all the friendships worth cherishing will eventually be ruined by him.
And Savoy is like this.
And the Army Aviation...same thing.
Huo Yuan took out the terminal, slowly typed nine words, and sent it: I resign. Don't let that young master go.
·
What is it like to wake up and find that your second and third in command are rushing to resign?
Bai Ling has something to say: "I'm afraid you two have eaten too many raw and pickled mealworms - they are so salty that they make you feel uneasy."
Sava and Huo Yuan corrected: "We don't eat mealworms!"
Bai Ling held a meat floss caterpillar bread in each hand and blocked their mouths.
The two eagles, each holding a piece of bread in their mouths, looked at each other, and snorted mockingly at the same time. Then they each took their own side, the straight-line distance between them even farther than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the Milky Way.
Bai Ling sighed.
What about the unbreakable alliance?
This revolutionary boat can capsize at any time.
However, Bai Ling had actually anticipated their conflict, and the dissatisfaction between the two sides had been going on for a long time. Ultimately, it is because of different class backgrounds that people look at things from different perspectives.
Huo Yuan thinks Sava is a dandy and has no empathy. Sava felt that Huo Yuan was short-sighted and too focused on brotherhood.
In fact, both sides have their reasons.
But as the top leader, Bai Ling was not in a position to say this because it sounded too much like he was trying to smooth things over. Both of them have bad tempers and I definitely can’t deal with them.
Sava was so angry that he didn't even eat his favorite Italian baked eggs. He ran to the terrace and kicked the trash can to vent his anger.
"He's awesome. He single-handedly crossed the Milky Way. He traveled through time and space to destroy the Earth—"
Bai Ling: “…”
If the earth offends anyone, it will be blamed.
Looking back and seeing Bai Ling, Sava felt wronged and complained even louder:
"You know, isn't he just relying on the fact that he brought a few mercenaries to Wild Star? What is there for him to be proud of? Fine, I'm just sitting there doing nothing, so I can just go and recruit soldiers. The quality of the soldiers is ten thousand times higher than that of his little pigeon from Wild Star!"
Bai Ling crossed his arms calmly and asked, "Where can I find it?"
Sava opened his mouth and said: "The five major military academies are full of talents."
Bai Ling lightly hit him on the head and smiled helplessly: "They are all the military's reserve troops, the leeks we can't eat."
"Too."
Sava turned his head away unhappily for a long time, then muttered quietly, "Am I really that useless?"
Seeing that he was discouraged, Bai Ling encouraged him, "Absolutely not. Don't underestimate yourself. You are our most indispensable member. If it weren't for your knowledge of starship driving, the Eye of Horus wouldn't even be able to open the system. How can we bring us to the wild planet?"
Sava obviously didn't believe it. He was so upset about Huo Yuan's words that all the owl's ear feathers drooped.
Bai Ling knew that he was not convinced.
How high-spirited and ambitious General Sava was in his previous life. He raised his arm and called out, and the best talents from the five major military academy alliances all rushed to Yexing, just to follow him as the chairman of the alliance.
At that time, Sava represented the interests of the intellectual middle class. And this power is exactly what Bai Ling and his team lack in their current development.
But as fate would have it, in this life, Bai Ling met Sava first, and his first reaction was of course to keep him tightly by his side to prevent him from repeating the tragedy of his previous life.
However, in this way, Sava undoubtedly lost a lot of space for self-development.
Now, the soldiers he was training were actually the soldiers brought by Huo Yuan. Sava himself can only be regarded as a general without troops.
This situation is undoubtedly unacceptable to the proud eagle owl.
Sava wants to go to the capital star to recruit soldiers, which is the most effective approach. But the problem is that their relationship with the empire is tense, and the current situation does not allow them to enter and leave the empire at will.
Even if Huo Yuan wanted to lead troops to rescue people, the success rate would be very slim.
It is said that it is easy to go out but difficult to go back.
You said we should go through formal channels. The two countries have been in such a stalemate at the UN that they haven't even established diplomatic relations.
You said to take an irregular route, but the Empire's customs are not fools. They would go on board any passing ship, whether it was a merchant ship or a private ship, and check them one by one with infrared scanning equipment. Unless the ship had turned into a corpse, there would be no way to check it.
Bai Ling also explained the same thing to Huo Yuan.
But Huo Yuan obviously couldn't accept it emotionally.
He couldn't control his grief and anger, and said, "That was the society I built, how could I watch them die? What about you, Bai Ling? You were also a member of the society, could you bear it?"
Facing the question, Bai Ling's answer was very calm:
"I've seen more death than that."
Such words seem too inhumane. But at that time, Bai Ling couldn't think of a better response.
He knew very well that instead of giving Huo Yuan some ambiguous hope, it would be better to tell him the reality as soon as possible.
The reality is that in a corrupt empire, similar tragedies are happening every minute and every second and are inevitable.
As long as the octopus does not fall, they will have to watch their relatives and friends one by one being crushed into pieces by the wheel of time on a wild star thousands of miles away.
Sometimes I can rush over to rescue them. But more often than not, no matter how hard they try, they can’t change anything.
This feeling of powerlessness is very frustrating.
This was the first time that Huo Yuan faced such powerlessness, and he still struggled and roared. But Bai Ling has been immersed in this for half his life, and now, he is only calm and numb.
·
That night, Land sent a message saying that the execution date would be set three days later.
Bai Ling lay on the bed and prepared to fall asleep. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he turned on the terminal and slid his finger across his Moments.
Half a year ago, he had added a lot of mercenaries’ contact information to the mecha competition, and it had remained on the list without being deleted. At that time, he had a good idea. Once everything on Yexing was settled, he would recruit all these experienced old pilots to work for him.
However, when I open my Moments now, what comes into view are the tragic messages from my relatives and friends:
“Have a nice journey.”
"This journey is difficult, we will meet again in the next life."
He pulled his fingers down slowly, flipping through the portraits one by one. Before he knew it, Bai Ling had been flipping through the entire night. He only stopped when his eyeballs began to swell and ache.
He blinked absentmindedly and accidentally saw something on the table. That is the Imperial Scepter.
It symbolizes the supreme power.
He looked to the side and saw the mermaid reading a copy of The Odyssey before going to bed. Bai Ling opened his dry lips and asked:
"What is the point of mankind's tireless pursuit of power?"
"Can it punish evil and promote good, or can it save the people?"
He asked this with a hint of self-mockery.
Yuchen half-closed the Homeric epic, leaned back on the soft pillow and thought for a while, then replied:
“Power is like a city. Some people want to get in, while others want to get out. Having power does not mean that one can control it. Odysseus, the protagonist of The Odyssey, is the king’s son. He is born with power, but if he did not have the courage to fight the Cyclops and the Sirens, he would be killed by others outside the prison of power, just like Hector.”
Odysseus? Bai Ling lifted the cover of the book and said, "I seem to have heard his story somewhere."
Yu Chen grabbed his fingers and squeezed them, "Trojan Horse."
"The Trojan Horse" is the most famous story in The Odyssey. The hero Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, hiding the bravest warriors of the coalition forces inside it. When the enemy was at ease and had a banquet, they rushed out and captured Troy.
Nowadays, people mostly use it to indicate defeating the enemy from within.
Internal...Trojan Horse...
Bai Ling suddenly had an idea and sat up from the bed.
He knew how to get to the Empire!
Bai Ling jumped out of bed as if waking up from a dream, and was about to run out. The moment he stepped out of the bedroom, he remembered something, supported himself on the door frame and turned around, his fluffy white hair becoming the only source of light in the dim night.
He immediately got into work mode and said in a businesslike manner:
"Please allow me to leave."
This was the time they had originally planned to spend together, so Bai Ling left for the time being, of course having to inform the mermaid.
Yu Chen turned a page quietly under the bedside lamp without raising his head, "Approved."
Bai Ling saluted in front of his forehead, "Thank you."
"Pay me back double when you come back."
"……asshole!"
·
Bai Ling seized the opportunity and planned the entire process in detail. At one in the morning, he kicked open the dormitory door and forcibly pulled the other two eagles out of the nest, quickly and neatly:
"Wake up, let's go jailbreak!"
Prison break - for others, this is almost an impossible task. But for Bai Ling, who was familiar with the prison environment, this silent intrusion could be as easy as taking something from a bag.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan instantly perked up: "How many people are you going to bring? I'll go and check the troops."
"No, just us."
Huo Yuan looked at the empty command room and doubted his life: "We?"
Bai Ling nodded: "Yes, this is a secret operation, the fewer people the better."
"Then how can we get through without anyone noticing?"
Of course, we should adapt to local conditions and make use of all available resources.
Since we can't take a merchant ship or drive a warship, we should be able to get away with taking an imperial ship.
Bai Ling opened the window and looked at the sky with the two birds. It was night time, and a strange ship with layers of knots passed by like a train, leaving a long cloud trail in the deep blue sky.
Sava glared: "Junk ship?!"
"That's right. Do you remember that the Empire and Wild Star signed a contract before, and they would dump the non-degradable garbage from various planets here every week?"
Savoy certainly remembered. Because of this, the second-hand junk market in Tu Dou Town is extremely prosperous, and he and Bai Ling even went there to buy a second-hand diving suit.
Bai Ling raised his thumb and pointed upward at the ship: "That's our Trojan Horse. Let's go on it."
Sava had to admire his ability to respond: "Stinky bird, you are amazing. You can even think of this."
Bai Ling closed the window, brushed off the dust on his hands, and then thought of another crucial matter, so he turned to Huo Yuan:
"But there is one more question before we go. Captain, it seems you need to apologize to Sava."
Huo Yuan's face twitched: "Why?"
Bai Ling patted Sava's back and forced the hen to straighten her back:
"Because if we want to realize this crazy plan, he is indispensable for this trip."
·
For a temporary business trip, Bai Ling had to make arrangements for all matters, big and small. The most important one was Yu Chen's safety.
After much deliberation, Bai Ling confidently entrusted the fish to someone. A veteran who is absolutely reliable and will never betray.
"Although Admiral Schlolan is an electronic ghost, his lifetime combat experience is 10 times more than our three eagles combined. I can rest assured with him around."
Bai Ling put the weapons into the suitcase and said:
"Besides, he is your old subordinate and is loyal to you. I'm not at home this week, so if you're bored, you can catch up with him. Yes, we can catch up over the long distance."
Yu Chen supported one side of his forehead, his curly blonde hair fell into the document that had not yet dried, stained with a little ink. But he didn't care, and just asked lazily:
"Did you tell him who I was?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid that after he finds out, he will lose all his favoritism towards you." Bai Ling said unhappily.
Yu Chen put away the table top, lifted his ankles and placed them on the footstool, revealing a pair of strong long legs transformed from a fishtail.
He specifically pointed out: "Shi Luolan is now your adopted father. According to the law, his family status is higher than mine."
Bai Ling curled her lips: "He's not my real father."
"What about me?"
"You are a real...real husband." After saying that, the bird turned his head away in shame.
Yu Chen looked at his little expression but didn't say that out loud. In fact, his bird looks four points like Schlolan's when he was young. The only difference is that Shi Luolan has black eyes and gray-blue hair, which is unique to peregrine falcons, and the bird is an albino.
Bai Ling felt inexplicably uneasy when he was staring at her.
Originally, tomorrow was the weekend, and he planned to take the mermaid out for a walk. Driving the RV, they were the only two on the empty road, going to other towns to try the local specialties.
But now, Bai Ling is standing him up...
Look at the fish again. He is sitting in an oxblood red leather sofa chair. His facial features are gentle and elegant, without revealing any unhappiness.
But Bai Ling only needed to take a quick glance at his taut waist and abdomen to know that, although this guy looked relaxed, he could pounce at any time.
Eat him up completely.
Bai Ling bit his sour tongue, pretended to be calm, and asked directly:
"I'm leaving in half an hour. Do you need anything else? How about I give you a hand job?"
He is very generous.
But the mermaid always wants more.
Yu Chen had his own unique way of eating the meat that was passed to his mouth. He asked calmly, "Are you going out for a week?"
"Well, it'll take two days by boat, but I'll be back in a hurry."
"Come here and stand by me."
He specified the location.
Bai Ling walked closer, watched Yu Chen retract his long legs, and instructed him to stand between the footstool and the sofa. Bai Ling trains frequently and habitually keeps his legs together, so he looks like he's standing at attention wherever he goes. Yu Chen ordered:
"Stand twenty centimeters apart."
Bai Ling had a question mark in his mind, but still did it. The fish measured the distance with its eyes and made slight adjustments, bringing him forward to just above the mermaid's knees.
"Do not move."
Yu Chen glanced around and casually picked up a disposable pair of finger gloves for peeling grapes from the fruit plate next to him. While being convenient to use, it will not bring unnecessary bacterial infection to the omega who is about to go on a long journey.
Bai Ling took a quick look and felt his breathing becoming increasingly disordered. The finger sleeves were designed to be very thin, so thin that fingerprints could be seen through them.
For men who wear rings all year round, the third phalanx will be thicker than normal people due to blood vessel compression. Of course, this subtle difference in thickness cannot be felt when holding hands, but it becomes noticeable after putting on the finger gloves.
His shoulders trembled violently, and his toes curled up.
Yu Chen stared at his expression, capturing every tiny detail of the fluttering of his feathers so that he could adjust his position.
Giving up on the omega's active requests and trying to please him instead may be frustrating to other alphas.
For him, it is a necessary means to demonstrate responsibility.
Just like before traveling, make sure the chicks have enough food in their gizzards. Yu Chen also had to make sure that he was physically and mentally healthy, and then appropriately reduce the omega's physical stress.
When it flies out, it is feather-light and high-powered, and when it flies back, it has the strength to land on the windowsill.
After all, raising a bird with smooth feathers is a science.
"Don't bend your knees. Standing can promote blood circulation and mobilize your muscles and nerves throughout your body, which will have a better effect."
How can someone be so graceful while doing bad things? Bai Ling looked around in a daze and lowered his head again. The old man's summer trousers were between his legs. The light lake color is very refreshing, but there is an obvious disadvantage of wearing such light-colored clothes, which is that it will be very obvious once they get wet.
Even the tightest little drop.
Bai Ling stood in front of him with her lips tightly bitten, her throat moving constantly, and he was panicking.
This is the living room, a gloomy private territory. In recent days, Yu Chen is no longer satisfied with operating in the bedroom. He likes to try different scenarios, and it would be best if every territory was stained with the scent of Bai Ling.
They possess mates and mark each other's territory in the most primitive way.
This is the monster fish's special way of expressing affection.
Bai Ling has great endurance. He can stand in a military posture without moving for at least 20 hours.
Today, he couldn’t even last 20 minutes. His lower abdomen tightened, and finally his knees gave out completely, and he sat on the mermaid’s legs, breathing heavily.
Yu Chen held his thin, sweaty waist with one hand, zipped him up, and coaxed him softly:
"You'll sleep soundly tonight."
Bai Ling couldn't help but bury her face in his neck, humming and enjoying the aftertaste. The mechanical ankle was cold and hard, but it still obeyed the nerve instructions and wrapped softly around the fish leg.
Damn it... Even with his skills, they can never get a divorce.
A master at stroking hair.
Clean up the mess. Yu Chen pulled off the medical-grade finger gloves with a snap. Bai Ling's shoulders trembled, and he subconsciously reminded:
"Please don't litter."
He knew that Admiral Schloerland was a sensitive person and would rummage through public trash cans every day. If he finds evidence that the alphas have violated the rules, he will naturally record their demerits, punish them, and beat them up with his modified Peregrine Falcon Iron Fist.
Bai Ling recalled the scene of the sweeping robot PKing a real person, and insisted:
"Just give it to me and I'll take it out and throw it away."
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows subtly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with using finger gloves for eating grapes in private territory, but since his baby thought it was inappropriate, he had to follow his instructions.
Then, Bai Ling witnessed how this elegant bastard pinched the wet plastic, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into the gap of his prosthesis little by little. As if he had finished playing, he casually stuffed the paper cranes into the hole in the table.
...dirty fish!
Before leaving, Yu Chen gave him an extra package. Bai Ling was carrying the heavy weight, not knowing what was inside. He thought the fish would not harm him, so he stuffed it into the box without even looking at it.
The sliding door slid open, and the mermaid carried the box for him and walked him all the way to the door.
Bai Ling took the box and felt relaxed and wanted to laugh unconsciously. This old guy is sometimes a jerk, but sometimes he is very lovable for his unintentional gentlemanliness.
Seeing him pursing his lips as if he was about to say something but stopped, Yu Chen raised the corner of his mouth:
"How do you say it?"
"See you later."
"Yeah, see you later."
Bai Ling felt that it was not enough, and seeing that there was no one around in the middle of the night, he tiptoed over and teased:
"Thank you, father."
After he finished speaking, a hand supported his back, and Yu Chen pinched his waist and hugged him. Bird's slender and thin frame allowed him to fit perfectly into the man's arms. With his chin resting on the top of his head, he spoke in a slow and psychedelic tone:
"Bird cub is so good..."
There was indeed no one around, but there was a sweeper.
After the two said goodbye to each other, Yu Chen took the elevator upstairs. No one noticed that at the moment the elevator door closed, the platinum-painted door reflected a pair of eyes emitting dangerous red light.
In the corner by the wall, an ordinary-looking sweeper was sticking its camera out, and a dark roar came from the speaker:
“…That’s my dear child!!”
At this point, Admiral Schlolan finally realized who the bird boy had called "Dad" on the phone last time.
With big wavy blonde hair, you are so brave! Today I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven!
