After a long journey of 48 hours, the interstellar airship traveled through the time and space tunnel and finally came to the galaxy where the Federation is located.
Unlike empires, federations are made up of multiple small nations, each of which occupies a single planet. Compared with the centralized power of the empire, the internal relations of the federation are complicated, and frictions often occur between small countries.
According to the previous notice, the location of this competition is located in Gold Star, where the federal government is located, which is the most prosperous galaxy in the federal government.
As representatives of this competition, after arriving at Gold Star, they need to visit the federal government earlier.
This time the leader is a general. Due to the large number of soldiers, he chose only a few people to go with him. Bai Yue is also included.
After a huge wind pressure, the airship landed steadily in the air parking area. The hatch opens, and the long folding ladders unfold one by one.
Generally speaking, for visitors from abroad - especially if you are representing a country, as a show of respect, someone will come out of the airship to greet them in person.
However, not a single person was seen from the time when the army left the airship in a mighty manner until it reached the exit of the air park.
Passengers come and go in a hurry, and their gazes are all scrutinized. It was like a world apart from the enthusiasm of the people just before they left the empire.
Sikong Xing put his hands behind his back and smiled, "It seems that we are not very popular."
They are all here, and there is not even a pick-up and drop-off person.
The admiral also took out his mobile phone at this time, as if he was contacting someone. After about ten minutes, a man finally arrived.
He nodded and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late for the traffic jam on the road."
Admiral: "Only you?"
The man nodded: "I will send you to the federal government."
Hearing this, the admiral frowned.
"What about the other soldiers?"
"Sorry, I didn't have time to inform." The man apologized.
"The venue has suddenly changed, and it is no longer held by Golden Star. There is another flight in the afternoon. Others can go to the new venue first. We have already arranged accommodation."
First, he was late, leaving them with an army for ten minutes; then he temporarily changed the venue of the game, but there was only such a light apology.
Although so far, the Empire and the Federation have always had an incompatible relationship. But since they came for friendly exchanges, they got such a treatment.
The admiral said calmly, "I see."
In this way, Bai Yue had to separate from his companions first. Although it is not clear what the admiral calls him to mean, he must not disobey the military order.
He said to his companions: "I'll go first, see you later."
Mu Sihan and Lu Shen nodded, and Sikong Xingbi made a gesture to show understanding.
Shang Yufei frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he just said, "See you later."
The army was split in two. Bai Yue followed the lead general and got into the car to the federal government.
The scenery slid past the window, smeared into a cloud of shadows.
After a while, they reached their destination.
The federal government is located in a secluded place, surrounded by heavy guards, and it is difficult to enter.
Unlike Empire. The imperial government is mainly controlled by the military, while the federal government is composed of representatives of many countries.
Although there is a nominal "president", more often the resolutions are issued by representatives of several powerful countries.
"The representatives of these powerful countries belong to the radical faction and have been actively preparing for war with our country."
Several people were brought into the conference room. During the waiting period, the admiral explained to his soldiers.
"This time, due to the Zerg incident, the Federation agreed to cooperate with us. But when the "Agreement" was signed last time, it can be seen that they were not very active."
"So even if you get a cold reception this time, I hope you don't mind."
I see.
Bai Yue had never been in close contact with the Federation before, and words such as "friendship" and "cooperation" were all heard.
Although the interests of the two countries have reached an agreement for the time being, judging from what we have seen today, federal personnel, including high-level officials, are still hostile to them.
Not to mention ordinary people.
Inside their empire, they have been propagating the issue of making good relations with the Federation and jointly dealing with aliens. But on the contrary, even if the federation mentioned it, it was probably just a matter of thought.
The Zerg did not occur in the territory, and perhaps it is impossible to feel the same.
Not long after, the door to the conference room opened. Alpha, who looked like a president, walked in, followed by a few people.
"Long lost and far away."
The president was very enthusiastic and shook hands with everyone as soon as he came in. When he grasped Bai Yue, he was startled: "Are you still a military academy?"
The admiral took the initiative to introduce: "This Zerg incident was discovered and solved by him in advance. We, the official soldiers, just did some 'cleaning' work."
Hearing this, the president was even more shocked, looked at Bai Yue up and down, and nodded frequently: "Young and promising, really young and promising."
The president's attitude is different from other people's.
After a few people were seated, the two sides exchanged some greetings and wished the competition a successful conclusion.
Before leaving, the president clasped the admiral's hand: "This competition may have many inconsiderations, please forgive me."
"I believe in the alien invasion. I hope our two countries can work together to resist this natural disaster."
Bai Yue didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but was observing the president.
He always felt that the few people who accompanied the president were more like surveillance than secretaries.
It can be heard in the words, plus the hint of the last sentence, the current internal situation of the Federation may have reached a precarious point.
Split into two factions. One faction is friendly, the other is radical. And it is clear that now the radicals have a greater advantage.
Obviously under this circumstance, why sign the "Agreement"? What is the purpose of agreeing to conduct a competitive exchange competition
I always feel that this competition will not be as simple as a simple "ice-breaking trip".
"This is the arena prepared by the Federation?"
It is obviously a high-profile competition between the two countries, but the venue facilities are not as good as the Diyi Games.
Like a temporary site, a red line was drawn outside the circle, encircling the entire area for hundreds of miles.
The so-called accommodation is also a tent. Although as a soldier, you should not have too many requirements for the accommodation environment. But this time it's an exchange game, not a fight.
From this point of view, it is enough to see how perfunctory the Federation is to them, or to this exchange competition.
Perfunctory to the extreme.
Shang Yufei threw his luggage onto the bed. A team of them all lived in the same tent.
Underfoot is solid dirt, and mosquitoes are flying in the air.
The planet hosting the competition is called "Satellite Starfish". Although it is not far from Gold Star, its economic development is extremely backward due to lack of resources.
Because of this, the small country that was originally stationed on the satellite starfish has long since gone to another place. But anyway, it is a piece of territory. In order to avoid being invaded by private individuals, the federal government still sent troops to station.
After the imperial soldiers arrived here, the place where they lived was the military area temporarily built outside the federal military camp.
Sikong Xing didn't want to make the bed, so he asked Lu Shen to help him with a shy face.
Mu Sihan moved the fastest, and had already packed up and walked out.
Sikong Xing saw this: "Where are you going?"
Mu Sihan didn't answer. But when he was about to step out, he didn't notice his footsteps.
A person was approaching.
Wearing a yellow-green military uniform, it is obviously not a soldier of their empire.
"I thought I had read it wrong just now, but I didn't expect an Omega to come."
"Why, you imperial soldiers participate in the competition, and you have to bring a cheerleading team?"
The volume was deliberately exaggerated and amplified several times, reaching the ears of everyone in the tent.
Everyone stopped their movements and looked at the door in unison.
"Huh?" Sikong Xing laughed, "How could the flies from the Federation come to us, and they are so big."
"childish."
The man in the yellow and green uniforms snorted lightly, but did not take the bait, "This is the territory of our Federation, I will go wherever I fall in love."
Sikong Xing Luran: "As long as you're not scared and come over to find out the details."
"Scared? What's so scary."
The man raised the corner of his mouth, "You still look like military cadets, don't you? The Dignified Empire can't even make up a serious soldier, so send students over to make up the numbers."
"Also," he said, raising his hand to touch Mu Sihan's face, "with such a good-looking O..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone grabbed his fingers and twisted his arm sharply behind his back.
There was a crackling sound from the depths of the bones. The man didn't react at all, and was grabbed by the arm.
He screamed, and begged to let go.
Mu Sihan frowned.
This person came alone to provoke him. He thought it would be so powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so weak.
He pushed forward and drove the man out of the tent.
"Go away." The voice was extremely cold.
This person was originally here to press the limelight. I deliberately didn't look for those regular soldiers, but these students who looked very immature.
As a result, I didn't expect that the shortest one among them could subdue him so easily.
Stealing chickens will not lose rice. Coupled with the large number of opponents, the people in yellow and green military uniforms had to leave in a hurry.
"You wait for me!"
Before leaving, he left a provocative sentence.
Sikong Xing walked to Mu Sihan's side: "Cannon fodder likes to say that in TV dramas."
Mu Sihan glanced at him and walked out without saying a word.
"Where are you going?" Sikong Xing wanted to keep up, "There isn't even a broken town here, and you just go out to feed mosquitoes."
However, before he could take his feet, someone grabbed his shoulders. Turning to look, he saw Lu Shen.
"What, what's the matter?" Sikong Xing almost thought that the other party was going to go back and help him make the bed.
Lu Shen: "That senior is Alpha."
Sikong Xing Yi was stunned: "I know."
Lu Shen was puzzled: "Then why bother him?"
Sikong Xing: "…"
Sikong Xing: "I'm just a little bored, I want to go out and have a good time."
The sun is hot outside, even with the door open, you can feel the heat inside. Going to an open and shady place is indeed much better than here.
Sikong Xing patted Lu Shen's shoulder: "The big job of making the bed is left to you, I'll go back when I go."
Lu Shen nodded.
The two left one after the other, leaving only Shang Yufei and Lu Shen in the house.
Lu Shen works very quickly. After he had settled on Sikong Xing's bed, he turned around and saw that Shang Yufei still hadn't finished it.
In other words, the other party didn't move at all. After only laying the bottom cushion, he was half-lying on the bed.
"Senior." Lu Shen stepped forward, "Do you need help?"
Shang Yufei closed his eyes: "No need."
Lu Shen didn't ask any further, and turned his eyes to the side. It was an adjoining bed. As soon as Shang Yufei came in, he helped Bai Yue take a place.
"Senior." He said, "Do you have a good relationship with Senior Bai Yue?"
As soon as the words fell, the person who had not yet reacted suddenly opened his eyes, and Emerald's pupils looked straight at him.
"Why do you say that?"
Lu Shen: "Because..."
look and tone.
He has been quietly paying attention to Bai Yue. Although the other party is very gentle to everyone, it is obvious that when facing Shang Yufei, his eyes and tone are subtly different.
Similar emotions, he had only seen when his mother looked at his father.
There is tolerance and dependence.
They are familiar with each other, and despite the physical distance, the relationship is so harmonious that no one can interfere.
Although Lu Shen thought so, he blurted out another sentence.
"You often act together."
"Just because of this?"
Shang Yufei sat up.
As usual, he didn't bother to deal with this kind of problem at all. But after talking with Bai Yue a few days ago, the other party told him that he must be vigilant next.
Here, it is better to deny it.
"You think too much. It's just that he was looking at me because he was afraid that I would do something wrong."
He looked at Lu Shen and raised the corner of his mouth: "You're a freshman, you don't know how much people at school hate me, right?"
Lu Shen really didn't know.
Maybe my father had mentioned it before, but he quickly forgot about things he wasn't interested in.
However, the original intention of his question was not to ask such a thing. So I bowed halfway: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the tent. Messy footsteps approached here, and then the windshield was pulled open.
"Is that you!"
"Hurt the people of our Federation?!"
After visiting the federal president, the admiral has something to stay. Will go to the stadium with the President on the eve of the game to watch the game.
In addition to the soldiers who followed closely, Bai Yue and others took the airship first and went to the satellite starfish not far away.
As soon as I got off the airship, there was a scorching temperature in the air, which almost scorched the respiratory tract.
The sun was dazzling and the heat was unbearable. It was as if every drop of water would rise because of it.
"The environment is really bad."
Just a minute after getting off the airship, several people felt this fact.
They traveled by car to the satellite barracks. It is said that the arranged accommodation is temporarily set up near there.
Generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to stay near the military area for a long time.
There is probably only one possibility for the federation to make such an arrangement this time. That is, they didn't take the Weihai District to heart at all. Despite being nominally a "Federal Soldier", there is no secret about it.
The quality of the soldiers who will be sent here can be imagined.
Even so, when Bai Yue got out of the car and heard a loud noise, he still suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.
Although it was not long, he had stayed in the Queens Military Region after all. Except for the training ground, the rest of the place is very quiet, and no loud noises are allowed.
Especially at the entrance and exit.
After all, it cannot be ruled out that there will be guests visiting, and it is necessary to maintain a solemn and serious impression at all times.
It's not as noisy as a vegetable market like it is now.
Since the tents are temporary, the arrangement is not regular. Before he got close, he heard a questioning voice coming from inside.
"How can you be responsible for breaking the hands of our soldiers before the game starts?"
Shang Yufei raised his brows as he looked at the dozen or so people who suddenly broke in: "Huh?"
The soldier in the yellow and green uniform just now walked in and glanced around the room, but found no target.
"Where's the Omega just now, hand it over!"
Lu Shen's expression did not change at all: "We don't have Omega here."
"Stop talking nonsense, if you see that we have a lot of people, you will be discouraged?" Huang Lujun uniformly said, "If you don't hand over people, we will smash this place today!"
Since entering Diyi, Shang Yufei has rarely seen such pure rascals again.
But there is an advantage to dealing with such people, that is, no nonsense.
He jumped out of bed, took his pockets and walked towards the menacing guardsmen.
The yellow-green military uniform was still in pain, and when he saw such a hostile guy approaching, he could not help but take a step back.
"What are you doing!"
Someone blocked him, "It's obviously you who started first, but you still want to continue? Be careful we tell the officer to disqualify you from the competition!"
"That's right! It's your empire that seeks peace first, right? You're pretending to hold an exchange match, and you're still showing this attitude?"
The other party is numerous and powerful, and they all agree.
However, this did not disturb Shang Yufei. He took a step, and the next second his speed suddenly increased, and he was in front of the speaker in an instant!
Everyone didn't respond.
Shang Yufei raised his fist and slammed into the enemy's chin. When he was about to hit, the fist wind was suddenly blocked and his arm was stopped.
The timing of the opponent's appearance was just right, and the strength of his punches was resolved in time.
Lu Shen's expression finally changed: "Senior Bai Yue!"
Shang Yufei missed a hit and was a little unhappy at first. At this time, seeing the person coming, he could not help but put down his hand.
"… When did you come back."
Fortunately, I happened to see the scene where he beat someone.
He frowned: "They messed with me first."
Bai Yue: "I know."
He was outside just now, and he heard everything that should be heard.
What's more, even if he didn't hear it, he didn't think Shang Yufei would beat someone for no reason.
Bai Yue turned to look at the so-called "Federal Soldier". Said to be "military", but his eyebrows were very impetuous. Stationed in such a backcountry. Usually doing nothing and no one cares, it is estimated that the xinxing has long been wiped out.
He smiled and asked, "Which one has the broken hand?"
It was just a simple question, but the aura gave people a lot of pressure.
Even under this disparity in numbers, everyone could not help shrinking.
What's more, just look at the skills just now. Although these two are only military cadets, they are probably stronger than them.
"What, what's wrong? It's me!"
You can't lose momentum if you lose. The man in the yellow and green military uniform just now stood up, "I just want to say something to you, and I'll beat people directly. Is this the etiquette of the imperial people?"
Thinking of what just happened, Shang Yufei snorted lightly.
Lu Shen corrected: "No. You have to hit him in the face first, and then he fights back."
"Hit? Don't talk nonsense! I was touching..."
Speaking of the last word, the person in the yellow and green military uniform suddenly felt wrong and shut up in time.
Having said that, even if Bai Yue didn't see the scene, he probably understood what happened. From beginning to end, the people of the Federation are deliberately finding fault.
Moreover, most of the military rank present were second-class soldiers, and the highest was no more than sergeant, and there was no higher-ranking person to lead.
Mu Sihan's counterattack could also be called a legitimate defense. But if Shang Yufei really made a move just now, they would be passive.
After all, these people were just talking ruthlessly and didn't really take down the tent.
Whispers also began to be heard within the Union military.
"Why are you touching his face? Are you interested in Alpha?"
"Even if you want to humiliate, you can change the way."
"I, I just touch it..." The yellow-green military uniform was suspected of sexuality, and almost cried, "And he really looks like an Omega, don't lie to you!"
Bai Yue listened to these people's whispered exchanges, walked over, and stood in front of the yellow-green military uniform.
The other party raised his head, his eyes slightly confused. The next second, I saw this man smile slightly, and then raised his fist and swung it over.
The speed is not fast, but the momentum is very fierce. The yellow-green military uniform was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to protect his face. However, the pain never came to his face.
"You don't seem to have broken bones either."
The yellow-green military uniform felt a chill in his heart.
By the time he let go, the man had already walked back to his original position.
All the federal soldiers looked ugly.
They hate empires. Although they are from different small countries within the federation, only this is the same.
Therefore, when I heard that the Federation agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire, or even hold some exchange competition, I immediately felt betrayed.
What if you deliberately find fault? As long as these people can be attracted to make a big fuss, the domestic opposition will definitely grow louder.
At that time, this "Supplementary Peace Agreement" will not be signed in vain.
Bai Yue: "You hate empires?"
"Of course I hate it!" Someone immediately responded, "The imperial people are all a bunch of hypocrites!"
Bai Yue smiled: "It's okay, we hate you too."
As if they did not expect to hear such a reply, everyone was stunned.
Bai Yue: "The establishment of diplomatic relations is only for maximizing profits. Even if you can't wait to start a war, you have to wait for the aliens to be cleaned up."
"If you want to simply fight. On the field, we will always be there for you."
"But if you just want to make trouble," he said, "there are many ways to covertly solve you."
From the beginning to the end, there was no change in the tone, and it was very peaceful.
But I heard the words "solved". The crowd felt as if a sickle had been slashed across their necks and their throats were about to be cut. For a while, no one dared to respond.
After a while, I don't know who said a word: "I, let's go!"
As if receiving amnesty, they all withdrew from the land of right and wrong.
Bai Yue watched these people leave and took back the pheromone. They just released a little bit for suppression, but these people didn't notice it at all.
A lot of Imperial soldiers were already surrounded outside the tent.
Bai Yue nodded at them, indicating that it was all right.
"Senior Bai Yue," Lu Shen's voice came from behind, with a hint of admiration, "It's amazing."
Bai Yue meal.
Ever since we met, the other party would praise him no matter what happened.
It feels like if it goes on like this, even when he speaks, he will praise his standard pronunciation.
