"That... If I remember correctly, your name is Lin Zhan, right?"
Lin Zhan, who was choosing which flavor of nutritional supplements to try for today's lunch by the window, froze for a moment, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and immediately met a face with a bright smile.
I don't know if the other party's smile is too contagious, or because of the familiarity brought by the same oriental face, Lin Zhan also smiled reflexively, and replied with a little hesitation: "Yes, you are... Zheng Yu ?”
"That's right!" Sui Yuan smiled, and put his hand on Lin Zhan's shoulder so naturally that Lin Zhan, who doesn't like physical contact with strangers, didn't feel anything wrong at all, "I heard , you are of Eastern descent like me, right? Where? China?"
"Maybe it's China, I don't know too well." Lin Zhan shook his head apologetically.
"It sounds like the name, but it doesn't matter if it's right or not! I'm just looking for an excuse to strike up a conversation." Sui Yuan waved his hand heartily, "I look at you very kindly, please take care of me in the future!"
"Both each other." Lin Zhan responded with a nod, ordered a random nutritional supplement, then backed away, watching Sui Yuan bit his lip lightly, frowned and looked into the window, as if he was about to make a life-and-death Difficult choices like that. Under the handsome appearance, there is a childlike self-willedness and childishness, which really wants to make people smile.
Lin Zhan didn't realize that he was indeed smiling all the time, and his mood was unbelievably bright.
After struggling for about a minute, Sui Yuan muttered and clicked the button under the dissatisfied urging of others, then took out the nutritional supplement in disgust, and turned to Lin Zhan: "Sorry for keeping you waiting, I found that no matter which taste I was facing, I had no appetite."
"Just bear it and it's over." Lin Zhan comforted him kindly, and walked to the dinner table with Sui Yuan.
"I heard from the instructor that during the training camp, the cafeteria only provides nutritional supplements. I feel like the sky is falling!" Sui Yuan complained exaggeratedly, tore off the seal of the nutritional supplements, frowned and took a breath, and then looked at death as if at home. Squeeze a big lump into your mouth.
Looking at his appearance, Lin Zhan suddenly felt that he couldn't bear to look directly at the nutritional supplements in his hand that were still edible, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
——Every move of the people around you is so contagious, it is really a good and bad thing.
"It's been less than a week since I left home, but I'm starting to miss my mother's Chinese food. It's like heaven and earth!" Sui Yuan smacked his lips, threw the nutrient package aside, and turned his head to look at Lin Zhan, " Don't you want to? It looks like you're used to eating this kind of thing."
"... I have never eaten Chinese food, or I was too young to remember when I ate it." Lin Zhan replied calmly, with a slight smile in his black eyes, "After I was six years old, I was in I grew up in an orphanage, where only nutritional supplements are provided.”
Sui Yuan immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and opened his mouth in embarrassment: "Sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about." Lin Zhan shook his head with a gentle tone, "I think my life is good, and I don't have much impression of my biological parents."
"...that's right! The orphanages are all under the control of the government, and the conditions are not bad." Sui Yuan smiled perfunctorily, and immediately changed the subject, "As an oriental descendant, how can I never eat Chinese food! I'll make it for you in the future Well, although the craftsmanship is far worse than that of my father, it is still much better than nutritional supplements!"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Lin Zhan nodded with a smile, adding a little more favor to this new friend in his heart.
"It's okay to make food by yourself occasionally, but you can't eat it every day." The trainee sitting next to Sui Yuan and Lin Zhan also basically solved his own food, and interjected, "Our training intensity is high, and we only have nutritional supplements. Only then can they provide enough calories and balanced nutrition, and the food they cook by themselves is far from meeting the standard.”
"Of course I know such common sense!" Sui Yuan glanced at the other party with some annoyance, and nodded embarrassingly, "It must be done occasionally, the training is so busy, I don't have time to do more - when the time comes, everyone will eat together ah!"
"Okay!" The rest of the trainees laughed and replied, no matter whether Sui Yuan invited him sincerely or just said it casually, at least the atmosphere is good, and the communication with each other is harmonious, which is more conducive to blending into the group.
The training camp not only trains individual combat capabilities, but also pays more attention to group combat. Having a good relationship and getting along with teammates is beneficial to the next training. Although Alphas are more proud and tend to get along with Alphas, and Betas are more united with each other, but in the same period of trainees, the barriers between Alphas and Betas are not clear.
The trainees quickly became familiar with each other during lunch time, and after a short rest, the afternoon training began.
Different from the relatively relaxed visit to the training camp in the morning, familiarization with the mecha and the explanation of theoretical knowledge, the training intensity in the afternoon has increased significantly. What surprised all the trainees even more was that an unexpected guest came to the training camp, which shocked a lot of people's jaws.
Taking advantage of the break after the physical training, the news that Admiral Adonis would be coming quickly spread among the trainees. Everyone was skeptical about it, but full of expectations.
Everyone who is interested in mechs has heard the name of Adonis, and among this group of trainees, Admiral Adonis is the idol admired by everyone. It can even be said that almost all of them are He grew up hearing the name of Adonis.
When this group of trainees were just attracted by mechas at the age of six or seven, Adonis, who was only eighteen years old, became a well-known future star with his genius achievements in both mental and physical fitness. Then in a battle, when the commander was killed, he was ordered to lead a mech squad to attack the enemy headquarters by surprise, and won a key victory.
The wars in the following years further established the legend of Adonis. Strong combat ability, excellent command ability and unparalleled charisma made him promoted from a small lieutenant to a well-deserved hero in the hearts of teenagers. Today, he has become the youngest admiral at the age of less than thirty, and at thirty, for an Alpha, he has not even reached the golden age of prosperity.
Similarly, the children who grew up listening to his deeds are now 17 or 18 years old and can officially enter the mech training camp. They have been thinking and looking forward to seeing the glory of their idols. They heard the rumors of Adonis' arrival, How can you not be excited and excited
However, despite the excitement in their hearts, the trainees did not dare to make any movements, and they still carried out the training step by step under the guidance of the instructors, and it was difficult to even look around distractedly.
"Even if Admiral Adonis can come here, he will go to the offices of the officers. It has nothing to do with us, right?" Lin Zhan and Zheng Yu were divided into a group and had face-to-face combat training, taking advantage of the gap that the coach didn't pay attention to. , Lin Zhan said in a low voice with some regret.
"It must be so." Although Sui Yuan was almost 100% sure that the other party was looking for him, this did not prevent him from showing a more disappointed expression than Lin Zhan.
"However, as long as we pass the review and become mecha fighters, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet the general." Seeing Sui Yuan like this, Lin Zhan comforted him instead, "My dream is to become Admiral Adonis The general's immediate subordinate non-commissioned officer, how about you?"
"Me?" Sui Yuan smiled and blinked, "My goal is to become an excellent and successful fighter like him!"
"You are more ambitious than me." Lin Zhan lost his composure for a moment and laughed loudly, which immediately attracted the instructor's attention.
Lin Zhan and Zheng Yu looked at each other sympathetically, and had to accept the punishment together in desperation, continuing their training while other trainees could rest.
Lin Zhan's physical fitness has always been weaker than that of ordinary Betas, and his face was already pale after the punishment. Sui Yuan worriedly reached out to support him, and asked if he could continue training, but Lin Zhan looked at him apologetically, and nodded to indicate that he could.
"I'm sorry, I've caused you to be punished together." Lin Zhan said in annoyed tone, trying to adjust his breathing.
"It's not that I'm not wrong at all, I can't slap a slap!" Sui Yuan shrugged and replied nonchalantly.
While the two were talking in low voices, there was a commotion among the trainees, and the words "Adonis" could be clearly heard.
Lin Zhan and Sui Yuan immediately raised their heads, only to see that the instructors who were training them walked quickly towards a blond man, stood still and saluted respectfully.
The man has a tall figure unique to an Alpha, with blond hair that shines like the sun, but blue pupils that are as cold as ice, sharp and indifferent. He was not wearing a military uniform, but even simple casual clothes could not erase the aura exuding from his bones at all—it could only be honed in the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war.
Adonis is quite similar to Meth in the last mermaid world, but he is even more scary than the latter. I don't know if I will be able to display such an intimidating aura if I am assigned to such a role in the future... On the surface, Sui Yuan showed the same expression of shock, admiration, etc. as the trainees around him, but his mind was a little distracted.
—However, there is really no need to think about it now, maybe he will never get the next role.
Adonis whispered a few words with the instructors, and then stood there casually, while the instructors returned to the trainees, with excitement and nervousness on their faces.
The instructors didn't talk about Adonis, but arranged for the trainees to carry out the next training, and the trainees immediately cheered up—their idols since childhood were beside them Look, no matter who is willing to lose face, so as not to leave a bad impression in the heart of the idol.
After the physical training, the next step is the training of dexterity and mental strength. Under the pressure of watching idols, the trainees are completely out of normal. Some of them concentrate and perform supernormally, while others have poor resistance to pressure and make mistakes again and again. The instructors silently wrote down the list of students who made mistakes, and planned to conduct additional anti-stress training for them-as a soldier, but unable to bear the pressure, this is simply a taboo on the battlefield!
Lin Zhan belongs to the part of super-level performance. Originally, he paid more attention to mental strength and dexterity because of his lack of physical fitness. This made him stand out even more, and even surpassed several Alphas, which made the instructors look sideways, but Sui Yuan was very unfortunate. Therefore, he became a member of the blacklist in the hands of the instructor.
Of course, Sui Yuan wasn't nervous because of Adonis' existence, he just... hasn't fully mastered the training mode yet. Although he has accepted the skills that his body should have, knowing it does not mean he is proficient. Under the guidance of 5237, Sui Yuan hurriedly completed the training, and only got a C evaluation, which is a passing grade. Regret and frustration naturally appeared on his face. look.
After the training, the instructor made a summary of everyone's situation, emphasizing that Sui Yuan should increase this type of training. Lin Zhan patted the embarrassed Sui Yuan on the shoulder, and tactfully expressed that he could guide him in training in the future, and immediately got Sui Yuan's grateful glance.
After summing up, the instructor turned his questioning eyes to Adonis, and immediately stepped back consciously when he saw him approaching, and handed over his position.
As Adonis approached, the originally quiet trainees suddenly became agitated. Trying to suppress the tension and excitement, they looked at each other expectantly—as long as they could hear the other party say a word, that would be fine.
Adonis stopped in front of the trainees, his sharp eyes swept across the young faces that seemed to be shining brightly because of excitement, his originally cold expression softened a little, and he said slowly: "In this period of time, I will I will serve as the chief instructor here."
The trainees who had been holding their breaths suddenly widened their eyes in amazement. Although they didn't understand why Adonis, who is a general, would come to the training camp as the chief instructor, and they were a little worried whether he was squeezed out here by others, but Still couldn't hide his surprise after hearing the news.
Adonis paused slightly, and continued after the trainees had digested the news: "So, I need a trainee to serve as an attendant to handle some trivial things for me. This job will not delay too much Time, and in return, if there are any problems in training, I can take the time to give advice."
If the previous news could be called a pure surprise, then the second news could almost be called a shock. The trainees were dizzy from the impact, but they subconsciously looked at Adonis, trying to show their best side in front of each other and win their favor.
Those who performed well in previous training were more confident, while those who performed poorly hated themselves for not being able to live up to expectations. Adonis glanced at faces full of expectations one after another, and finally met Sui Yuan's gaze.
Sui Yuan didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, but tried his best to turn his face red again - he knew that the other party was coming for him. Because there was no such thing in the original plot, and Adonis should have met Lin Zhan after he was about to finish his training camp career and was recommended by the instructors because of his outstanding performance.
Seeing Sui Yuan's small appearance nervously looking forward to "Lucky", Adonis, who had never been so watched by the other party, had a slight smile in his eyes, and pretended to scan the nameplate on Sui Yuan's chest, pondering He said, "Zheng Yu...? Would you like to be my attendant?"
Immediately, Sui Yuan was surrounded by envious or jealous, scrutinizing or critical gazes from all directions. He had been prepared for a long time with a flattered and unbelievable expression, and then he reacted suddenly after Lin Zhan nudged him lightly, and then quickly stepped out of the line and replied loudly: "Yes, I am willing, sir !"
"Very good." Adonis nodded in satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the equally unbelievable instructor, "Then I will take this child away first."
"Of course no problem!" Although the instructor couldn't understand why Adonis would take a fancy to Sui Yuan, who had performed poorly just now, he didn't dare to ask casually at all, and immediately allowed Sui Yuan to leave the team.
Adonis gave a military salute, turned and left, while Sui Yuan looked back at Lin Zhan, and found that although he was envious of his "good luck", his eyes were clear and there was no negative emotion at all, so he smiled at Lin Zhan. He made a gesture to contact him later, and quickly followed behind Adonis.
"Hey! This is a good opportunity, you have to make it clear to him and let him work hard with you!" 5237 murmured around Sui Yuan, as if he could feel at ease in this way.
Sui Yuan didn't answer, he could only apologize to 5237 in his heart.
