Chapter 177: Confidence: Their relationship is very deep
They haven't seen each other for a month and a half, so it can't be considered a long-awaited reunion, but Yu Chen observed him carefully and still found some differences from before.
Maybe it’s the body movements, or maybe it’s the tone of voice, this bird is less cold and more steady. To put it more deeply, it’s the sense of “control”.
Bai Ling stood up, put on her coat with her back to him and said, "Let's go."
Yu Chen didn't react for a moment, "Where are you going?"
"Don't you want to chat?" Bai Ling turned around, his eyes were light, "I'm going to the armory to take inventory. We can talk on the way. Come with me."
He is indeed busy.
I have to take care of all the big and small matters in the military camp, not for anything else but to be responsible.
Yu Chen smiled, bent down and picked up the fur coat he often wore from the back of the chair. Bai Ling glanced at him and said:
"Don't wear this. A fox fur coat here is too conspicuous and will get dirty easily."
Yu Chen picked up another one, "There are also cashmere ones."
Bai Ling touched it and said, "It's too thin. There's no heating in the armory. Your scales will freeze off."
As a result, he made the decision and ordered someone to send a set of winter military uniforms over. I took the largest size, which just fits the mermaid's height of 194cm.
Yu Chen followed the local customs and put on regular military uniform. The outer coat is thick and warm. With a leather belt tied around her waist and her blonde hair tied up, she really looks like a powerful military aristocrat.
Moreover, this was his first time wearing a military uniform.
In the past, royal families of various countries had an unwritten rule that princes and princesses must serve in the army when they reach adulthood. On the one hand, it is to follow the royal tradition of martial arts, and on the other hand, it is also to train the future crown prince.
But Yu Chen was the least favored among the crown princes at the time, so much so that his repeated applications to visit the front line were all rejected.
The other older princes said: "With your character, you still want to participate in the battle for the throne? Go play with your mud."
Because Yu Chen loved to grow flowers, they mocked him as a mud player.
But the facts have proved that it is not possible to be an emperor without being down-to-earth. Those who play power games will eventually be buried by him, who plays with mud and turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.
The military uniform given by Bai Ling brought back some memories for him.
So he was in a good mood all the way, as if a gap that had long been missing was filled at an unexpected time.
Bai Ling looked at him more: What is he happy about?
The country has its own laws, the family has its own rules, and the military camp has its own rules. The warehouse is an important area and you must swipe your card to enter and exit. If you don’t have a card, you must enter the registration into the system on site. Even with Bai Ling accompanying them, security measures were still not omitted.
The five-ton warehouse door slid heavily to the sides, and the armorer immediately came over, ran to Bai Ling in small steps, touched his heels together, and saluted:
"Commander Bai, the weapons delivered today have been checked. Please review the list."
Bai Ling took the list and flipped through the pages one by one as he walked in. He flipped through the boxes slowly and carefully, looking up from time to time and walking to the corresponding inventory rack. He lifted the camouflage waterproof and fireproof cloth on top and picked out a gun from the bundled box as a sample to check the pass rate.
There is a small test firing range next to it.
Seeing him coming, a group of soldiers who came to collect equipment at night swallowed nervously, not daring to breathe, and very consciously moved aside to leave enough space for him.
Yu Chen glanced sideways and heard the soldiers behind him muttering to each other with lingering fear:
"You want to die, standing so close."
"It's too far away and I can't see clearly. I want to see Commander Bai."
"If you come closer, you will not only see Commander Bai, but you will also be sent to meet death by the shells that explode."
"…It's not that fierce. Don't exaggerate."
The facts proved that it was not an exaggeration. Bai Ling tested the gun without wearing any protective gear and just started firing rapidly. The noise of the gunfire was deafening in the empty warehouse, but he had no expression on his face and did not even blink. Everyone around him showed the skill and unrestrainedness of a veteran.
After finishing a round, everyone's heads were buzzing. Looking towards the test firing track again, the automatic target had already flown nearby, and the AI female voice announced impartially: "10.9 rings, 10.9 rings, 10.9 rings..."
The highest is 10.9.
This is nothing surprising. After all, there are many sharpshooters in the army who can hit more than 10 rings if they try hard.
But the terrifying thing about Commander Bai is that his target is only the size of a palm, and the inner ring area is only as big as a dime. He fired 9 shots in succession, but there was only a small hole on the center of the bull's eye.
A very steady hand.
If this were put into actual combat and the vision conditions were good, he could defeat an entire opposing team with a sniper by himself.
Bai Ling casually tossed the gun to the armorer and said, "It feels just fine."
Everyone was ashamed, what a "barely passable" statement.
Afterwards, Bai Ling tried them again and gave their evaluations based on their characteristics:
"This one, Wild Beauty, is good for suppressing fire."
"This, the Stupid Beauty, can be used by any idiot. It's a point-and-shoot model that can be easily used in two hours." He called the soldiers, "Go, equip each logistics officer with one to prevent them from encountering giant octopuses when they go out to deliver meals."
When it comes to guns, he never hesitates to praise them, and no matter whether they are good or bad, he will praise them as beautiful.
The soldier behind him said sourly: "In my next life, I want to be a gun."
"Then Commander Bai will play you to pieces."
"Hey, isn't that better..."
Unfortunately, before he had time to imagine, a deep and terrifying aura passed by his side. The soldier's scalp went numb and his calves trembled, and he almost wet his pants out of fright. He looked up timidly. The gentle-looking Mr. D was smiling at him politely and saying:
"To be an alpha, you need to know the difference between good and bad."
The soldier's brain crashed and he was too busy to make way: "You first, you first."
You are played first.
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows calmly: "There is no order, I am the only one."
The soldier was not convinced and thought, "What are you so proud of? If we really talk about seniority, isn't it the emperor who is the big one and you are the small one?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of the blond A leaning slightly forward and whispering to Bai Ling. Obviously, there was nothing wrong with the two people's behavior in public, but the moment they looked at each other, it made the onlookers suddenly realize:
The two of them have a deep relationship.
That kind of tacit understanding in simple words was gradually developed after going through countless things and making countless collapsed beds.
The soldier's face turned red instantly, as if he had seen Pandora's secret. He lowered his head quickly, too guilty to dare to look again.
After taking a tour of the armory, Yu Chen discovered that Bai Ling was not only familiar with the performance of each weapon, but also clearly understood their wear and tear and usage time. Compared to the nominal "arms manufacturer", Bai Ling is more like a weapons master.
All of this is the experience he has accumulated from years of combat, which cannot be learned anywhere else. It is a knowledge system unique to Commander Bai.
Bai Ling introduced: "We currently have a total of 9,000 guns in stock, with a daily regular consumption of 300, and a shortfall of 1,500. But this is not a big problem. I can dismantle the enemy's equipment to make up for it. I brought back a bunch yesterday, right here—"
As he spoke, he pulled open the cover in front of him, and a pile of cannon barrels that were obviously knocked off from somewhere were neatly piled on the ground. Bai Ling said lightly:
"Just wipe it clean and it will be usable again."
"Federal weapons are different from ours, so they have to adapt. That's why I asked them to learn both. They can't just learn one. This way, if they run out of magazines on the battlefield, they can grab the enemy's gun and still survive."
Yu Chen suddenly had a feeling that he, as a wild beast, was visiting the lair of another wild beast. The other party showed him his claws, his territory, and the prey he had captured. This was not a handover report between superiors and subordinates, but a show of strength between predators.
He took Yu Chen to admire the ammunition depot, touched the golden copper bullets, and praised them for being brand new and beautiful. Each bullet costs 2 yuan, and this truckload of bullets is enough to wipe out an entire enemy battalion. Bai Ling said lightly:
"These are my confidence—" He turned around, his eyes calm, "Once they penetrate the enemy's body, they will also become your confidence."
Yu Chen's heartbeat almost stalled. The young man's flamboyant eyebrows and eyes fell into his eyes, so dazzling.
A handsome and powerful eagle.
This military camp is his kingdom. Every soldier, every blade of grass and every tree are under his control.
At that moment, Yu Chen couldn't help but call him, "Queen"
This time, the eagle did not deny it uncomfortably. When he heard the word "queen", he just raised his snow-gray eyes. There is the calmness and composure that comes with the accumulation of years, the grace and ease of returning to one's post, and the strong and solid confidence.
This confidence was not given to him by the ammunition depot.
Nor was it given to him by Isupalaiso.
Instead, he was determined to start over in this life and took one step at a time.
Solid as a rock, unshakable.
·
Visiting military camps is fun, but the daily life of military dependents is not so easy and happy.
As the main attacking force, Bai Ling had to go to the front line almost every day and would not come back for one or two days. Sometimes the battle situation in the front could not be transmitted back in real time, and Yu Chen was often uneasy while waiting in the rear.
The battlefield environment changes rapidly and we cannot relax at any time. Under the highly tense state, 48 hours of concentration is already the limit. But Bai Ling often pushed this limit again and again, and when he was replaced, he was often already in a state of confusion.
The door slid open and tired footsteps came in, panting.
Bai Ling threw his equipment away, and the heavy bulletproof helmet hit the ground. He sat down and leaned his head on the mermaid's shoulder without caring about anything. He put all his weight on her shoulder. His eyelids felt heavy and he was too tired to utter a word.
The Federation's mechanical fortress is difficult to deal with. If you drive a mecha, you will be discovered. Recently, he has been sneaking in alone and risking great danger to install bombs. We destroyed 15 cities in one go today, and have already captured the city in front of us. The front line has advanced another 300 kilometers to the west.
You know, when King Sava I, who was known as the God of War, led elite armored troops, the highest record in one day was only 500 kilometers.
However, Bai Ling knew very well that the reason why he was so fast now was entirely due to the help from his previous life.
It's okay to be happy at this stage, but don't be too proud.
While he was daydreaming, a hand came over and supported his shoulders, holding them firmly, then went around to the front to unbutton his tactical vest.
It took Bai Ling a while to remember whose hand it was, then he closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and completely handed over the initiative.
He rolled his eyes and glanced over.
The old man unbuttoned his tactical vest for the first time, and his technique was far from skillful. The snake buckles on the front and back were hidden so well that the mermaid lowered her golden hair to study it for a while before she successfully removed the special zipper.
During this period, the bird was as obedient as a toy and allowed people to play with it.
He was asked to raise his hands and tilt his head, and the complicated protective equipment was peeled off one by one like peeling an onion, until only leggings, socks and a vest were left.
"Okay." Yu Chen kissed his forehead lightly.
It was only then that Bai Ling began to exercise his subjective initiative a little. He moved lazily - he put his long legs on the mermaid's knees, bent his body and leaned against his arms, and then he busy himself on the terminal to read the report.
The demeanor was very natural.
It was probably because the two of them knew each other too well, and the seemingly presumptuous behavior did not require any notice, and using the husband as a tool would not offend either of them.
During the rejuvenation period, I didn’t do anything deliberately, but gradually developed a sense of relaxation like a long-time partner.
"Do you want to sleep first or take a shower first?" Yu Chen asked in a gentle voice.
The head in his arms slowly lifted up, still expressionless. But it was not because the bird was in a bad mood, but because he was too tired and could not even show any expression on his facial features. Yu Chen lowered his eyes and read his thoughts accurately:
You decide.
It is too dangerous to let a mermaid who has been confined for more than a month during the breeding season make the decision.
The omega's core strength is very strong due to years of exercise, and his thin waist and narrow hips are now pressed against his gloomy belly. If he slightly turned his eyes, he could see the woman's slender waist through the open neckline.
The bird's posture is very defenseless.
He was wearing only a loose vest made of quick-drying material to prevent the water chill effect.
But the room was warm now, and the alternation of hot and cold made him break out in a cold sweat. Even so, he was still too lazy to move, leaving only a pair of straight and slender legs exposed. He unawares stuffed his curled heels under his knees to keep them warm.
Like a deer that feels safe enough to rest when it comes.
Although in the eyes of mermaids, this outfit is easily attacked. If you pin down his waist and clasp his hands upward, you can easily attack him from behind. It might get bitten a couple of times, but the body temperature and humidity of a bird that has just come off the battlefield will definitely make up for the crime.
Bai Ling narrowed his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Chen followed suit: "I'm thinking about what to eat tomorrow morning."
"I know," Bai Ling said hoarsely, leaning close to his ear and ruthlessly exposing him, "You want to eat me, old man."
