Under the brilliant afterglow of the setting sun, Su Tan was sweating on his forehead, his breathing was short of breath, and his legs were running fast and vigorously in the open field.
But no matter how fast he ran, he didn't get past the flying machine that hit him. He just felt that the air around him was suddenly squeezed to the point of deformation, and then "whoosh", a scorching hot air flow passed by his side at an extremely fast speed.
The hot air scorched the right side, and the falling sparks instantly ignited his schoolbag, burning a raging fire.
Su Tan was stunned, watching the schoolbag stitched by the robot dad himself being burned into a ball, and immediately let go of his hand, and immediately threw the schoolbag on the ground, buried it in the soil and stomped on it, trying to put out the fire .
However, the schoolbag had already been burnt to a broken and charred mass.
Su Tan: ... There is also the interstellar history homework he just finished in the schoolbag.
ahead—
"boom!"
One day after the earth-shattering noise, an unfamiliar aircraft smashed heavily on the open field, bringing up countless dust and air currents, and hit Su Tan like a sandstorm, making it impossible for him to hide.
Ten minutes later, everything was settled. The door of the upward facing aircraft was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the dust on the outer shell of the door was lifted up, floating freely in the beautiful afterglow of the setting sun.
Su Tan's throat felt itchy when he saw it, and he couldn't help coughing, a handful of dust spewed out of his mouth.
Su Tan: ...
He frowned tightly, with a heavy expression on his face. After waiting for a long time but no one came out from the aircraft, he couldn't help frowning immediately.
He noticed that the metal shell of the aircraft was smooth and simple, with some hidden patterns and patterns painted on it. Recalling what Mr. Kerry mentioned in class, such icons generally represent the aircraft of private families.
Somehow, it will suddenly fall here.
The people inside hadn't come out for a long time, and most of them were probably seriously injured.
Su Tan thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he just walked over to check the situation.
The aircraft fell heavily into the field, and most of it was buried deep under the soil, forming a huge pit around it.
Su Tan stepped on the soft soil, climbed up the mound, and looked down calmly and cautiously.
Unexpectedly, she happened to meet a pair of dark and deep eyes, a face with clear outlines, extremely beautiful, but without the slightest femininity, instead revealing the charm of a mature man.
Hayden was lying on his back in the large open cockpit, although one arm was unnaturally drooping on the back of the seat, distorted in a strange arc, and even his face was a little too pale.
But he was still calm and indifferent when he moved his hands and feet, stretched his body lazily, and looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky comfortably.
Such a magnificent scenery, people can not help but admire.
Until a gray-faced, pitch-black child suddenly appeared beside the door of his cockpit, carrying a bunch of black objects that smelled of burnt.
Hayden looked at it for a while, and recognized that this was just a young country boy, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he gave a chuckle.
"Hey kid, do you have a cigarette?"
Su Tan pursed her lips and looked at him with deep eyes. "you are still alive?"
Hayden moved his body tentatively, let out a long sigh, and found that two ribs in his chest were broken.
He raised his eyebrows, his deep eyes were peaceful and quiet, as if he didn't take these fatal injuries to heart at all.
Hayden said with a relaxed tone, "Not bad."
Su Tan: It looks like it's about to die, okay
He raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the surrounding fields were quiet and there was no one. So, he simply lowered his head and said to Hayden, "Wait a while, I'll find someone to help you."
Unexpectedly, before he jumped off the aircraft, he suddenly heard the man suddenly say: "There is no need to find someone."
Su Tan paused, and looked at Hayden in surprise, only to see his calm and confident smile, his deep and magnetic voice, with a somewhat lazily trailing end, but for some reason, it made the listeners feel a little A strong self-confidence.
Hayden looked at him, "If you can help me up, I don't think I need to find someone."
Su Tan paused, but did not agree.
Although he wanted to save this stranger, he didn't know his identity and origin after all, and he didn't want to get close to the past and put himself in a dangerous situation.
As if seeing his vigilance and hesitation, Hayden took out a certificate from the cockpit seat box with his other good hand, and with a little force on his hand, he easily threw it into Su Tan's arms.
"Open it and have a look. I'm Major General Hayden Browning of the Imperial Ocean Squadron. I'm currently on a secret mission, so it's inconvenient for anyone to find out."
Su Tan stretched out his hand to open the ID, and there was a photo of the ID wrapped in plain military uniform, a few brief information, and the military badge of the Imperial Ocean Squadron was stamped on the photo.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, sharply identified the person in the photo, and the man lying in the dilapidated cockpit in front of him, and finally admitted that they were the same person.
"Hayden?" He pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered, "Your name is exactly the same as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Hayden slightly raised the corners of his lips, "It's my honor."
Su Tan sighed lightly. He didn't expect that the army here also likes to be proud of being associated with the leader. It is simply another form of political worship.
After confirming the other party's identity, Su Tan immediately felt relieved, jumped into the cockpit, and used all his strength to help him up half-supported and half-dragged, and walked out of the cockpit together.
Standing on the soft ground again, a thin layer of sweat oozes from Su Tan's forehead, and his fingers feel a little weak.
He glanced sideways at Hayden, and found that apart from his paler complexion, he moved very freely. Even standing side by side, this seriously injured man stood more calmly than himself.
Su Tan couldn't help being a little envious.
After getting out of the cockpit, Hayden took out a small pendant and pressed it. I saw the huge battleship aircraft suddenly retracted, as if it had been folded under the refraction of light in the air, it was suddenly put into the pendant, and disappeared in an instant.
On the ground, only a big pit was left.
Su Tan stared intently, and the surprise in his heart was beyond words. Life in Gelia is peaceful and peaceful, the sun rises and the sun goes down. Even though there is a robot father at home, he knows that he is in the interstellar era, but he never feels that he is very different from the earth.
Even sometimes, there will be an illusion that you are still on the earth in a trance.
But at this time, Hayden put away the warship aircraft, which made Su Tan deeply realize that this place is really in another world.
Standing beside Su Tan, Hayden could not help but smile when he saw the disheveled child's quiet eyes slightly wide open, staring right at his necklace.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a necklace with a sparkling spar pendant suddenly fell in front of Su Tan's eyes, swinging leisurely in mid-air, making Su Tan's gaze catch up.
Hayden tempted: "Want it?"
Su Tan regained consciousness in an instant, woke up, and looked up at him quietly.
He found that the tall man in front of him was a full head taller than himself. Compared with that man's mature body, he looked like a stunted little bean sprout.
Hayden raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep and bewildering, and he said to him: "The second condition, if you can help me find a place to recover from my injury, I will give you a similar space necklace."
"Space necklace?"
Su Tan repeated slowly, and his gaze fell back to the necklace in Hayden's hand.
There is such an operation? ?
It completely broke his cognition as a person on earth, and he never thought that there would be such a heaven-defying and convenient existence in the interstellar age.
Su Tan pondered for a while, and found that among the Geulians around him, he rarely saw this kind of item, and even the robot father never mentioned it, which shows how rare and precious this kind of space necklace is.
Hayden nodded, his jaw raised in a nice arc. "How about it, promise?"
Su Tan raised his eyes to look at him, a young boy's face was dusty and covered with dust, but his dark eyes were unexpectedly calm, not as happy and peaceful as ordinary children who are tempted. Excited.
He stared at the tall and mature man in front of him, and asked word by word: "What will happen if I don't promise you?"
He never let his guard down, thinking the wounded man was a weak target.
Even if he is a soldier, but in the face of iron-blooded and secret missions, since Hayden does not allow others to save him, he naturally will not easily let go of himself who has discovered his existence from beginning to end.
If you don't agree to his conditions, how will you be treated
Su Tan's expression became serious, he pursed his lips tightly, and stared closely at the man in front of him.
Hayden looked at him and suddenly smiled.
He suddenly hooked the neck of this little native boy with sharp eyes, put most of his weight on his body, slightly raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Well, maybe, I will use two space necklaces to tempt you?"
Su Tan: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, and was almost staggered by the heavy weight.
"Wait, I haven't agreed yet!" He began to struggle, "You can continue to use two space necklaces to seduce me—"
Hayden held his shoulders, with a cheerful and lazy expression, and shuffled towards the field, "Well, which direction is your home?"
Su Tan pointed in one direction, "Left. Wait, we haven't discussed yet—"
In the evening, two figures, one tall and one short, sat side by side at the Su family's dining table, and the robot Suning sitting opposite them asked hesitantly with a dignified face.
"... Are you his cousin?"
Hayden enjoyed the delicious and crispy stew on the plate. The meat was full of aroma, the sauce was rich, and the multi-layered flavors were mixed together. The slight fruit aroma and meat aroma were perfectly integrated, so he couldn't help but eat it.
Even though he ate extremely fast, the movement of holding the knife and fork was still elegant and calm, and he cut off pieces of meat neatly, covered them with a lot of sauce, and put them in his mouth.
Hearing Suning's question, Hayden's tone was leisurely and firm, and he nodded in response: "Yes, I am Su Tan's cousin."
Hearing this, Suning's metal face became more tense, and he stared at Hayden solemnly and silently.
"...Wait, there is a question. I picked you up obviously, where is your cousin from?"
Su Tan: ...? ! ! !
