Chapter 18: Forest base

Views:

Chu Si's life is definitely not long.

The laws of the planet stipulate that full criminal responsibility begins at the age of 30, and at the age of 35, you will fully enter adulthood. According to this calculation, the age of 60 should be in the prime of life.

If he was born in a small place like Butterfly Island or the city of Figa, which is comfortable and comfortable all year round, a person of his age would probably have been out of college less than six years ago.

6 years, in the lifespan of planets in their early 200s, is really too short a moment, and it is very likely that the youthful atmosphere brought by the school will not completely fade away.

Compared with such a life, Chu Si's experience is indeed too twists and turns—

The place where he was born was Xixi City, known as the Eye of Hell. It was the old center that witnessed the disintegration and reunification of the forces of the planet, and the disintegration of the unity. It was the city with the most floating population and the most complex structure when interstellar immigrants were prevalent. It was also the time when the interstellar chaos broke out in the next hundred years. , the place with the most dead bodies.

The year Chu Si was born, it happened to be the 20th year after the end of the chaos. Interstellar immigrants were jointly banned. After 120 years of establishment, the general government of this planet finally cleaned up all the mess and the development stabilized again.

But the chaotic forces still haven't disappeared, and from time to time they will collude with the unstoppable government of other stars, like a gopher that will never finish.

As a city with the most serious problems left over from history, Xixicheng has new-born children orphans every day.

Chus is one of them.

If Xixicheng itself is the eye of hell, then the city's orphanage falls into the dark and bottomless pupils.

But Chu Si is not the most miserable one, because he stayed in the orphanage until he was 8 years old and was adopted.

The person who adopted him was Jiang Qi, who was one of the three major weapons experts in the military at that time. Jiang Qi studied and studied all his life. He had no wife and no children. It was the life of a lonely star. He only met Chu Si when he passed by Xixi City to attend a military meeting in 5661, and this was considered to have a son.

But the good times didn't last long. In the seventh year of Chu Si's adoption, the Fort Barney incident broke out. Jiang Qi, as well as a number of important officials from the military and the government, were all involved in that incident.

The year was 5668, and 15-year-old Chus was placed in the White Eagle Military Sanatorium, where he met Sae Young, who was also 15 years old.

At that time, Sae Yang could vaguely see the shadow of the future, but at that age, he just seemed extraordinarily rebellious. On the contrary, Chu Si at that time had extremely serious psychological problems. He was gloomy, taciturn and loner. He was more like a prison reserve army than Sae Young.

They spent 12 years in the White Eagle Nursing Home, during which they completed the courses at the White Eagle Independent Military Academy, and they graduated at the age of 26, a long way from adulthood.

At the age of 27, they entered the training camp with a group of 9 people.

At that time, the training camp was still under the flag of the military department. The logo was similar to the sanatorium and the independent military academy. It was still a white eagle.

The average person stays in training camp for five years before leaving, and then goes their separate ways. What identity they have changed and what tasks they have received are unknown to each other, unless they are assembled into a joint team to perform multi-person tasks.

Chu Si stayed there for an unprecedentedly short time, leaving the camp in only 2 years.

But Sae Young was shorter than him, staying only a year.

In 5681, when Chus was 28 years old, he said "goodbye" to Sae before he left the camp. It was one of the few calm and emotionless conversations between them, and the last such conversation.

Two years later, the training camp was placed under the Security Building.

Two more years later, they split into opposites, and Sae Young is wanted worldwide.

For the next 17 years, Chu Si heard all kinds of news about Sae Yang again, not in the mission information he received, or in the various joint documents issued by the general government, the military headquarters, the security building and the space prison. inside.

Until 5702, Chusi retired from the position of the training commander of the training camp because of the height of the left half of his body. The first official document after he was transferred to Office No. 5 as an executor was about Sae Young—

The outlaw who played cat-and-mouse with the government for 17 years has finally entered a space prison.

Thinking about it this way, every important node in their 60 years of life seems to be intertwined, and it can be regarded as a unique fate.

However, the transformation and connection among them cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Chu Si was too lazy to explain this to irrelevant people, so he waved his hand at Jin perfunctorily, "Speak less, just keep up, you won't lose your life."

With such a word to guarantee the bottom line, Jin immediately felt a lot more at ease, and stopped inquiring. Holding the small mop's slender wrist, An An followed closely.

The location of Fort Barney is very biased, far away from people and surrounded by almost undeveloped virgin woodland.

If there is no one to lead the way, it is impossible to get around in this kind of woodland, and there is probably no place to stretch your feet.

But even with Tang leading the way, they still had a hard time walking.

While pushing away the dead grass that was as tall as a person, Jin hissed and gasped, "These grass stems are all fucking thorns, and now I can perfectly disguise myself as a hedgehog with my left fist clenched."

"Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a hedgehog for you to disguise now." Tang jumped, jumped over a barricade on the ground, and turned back to remind, "Look at your feet."

"Blind eyes can't see clearly." Jin said angrily.

Chu Si looked up and saw that between the gaps between the dead branches and the fallen leaves, the star sea, which was far away and close at hand, spread from one side of the ground to the other side.

Like this dark night, there is no end to it.

He stepped on Tang's step points accurately and stepped over the obstacle. As a result, just after walking two steps, I heard the muffled sound of a blunt object hitting the ground behind.

Jin let out an "Ow" and sat on the ground.

"Shh!!" Tang turned his head sharply and gave him a warning look.

Jin's cry came to an abrupt end, and he swallowed it abruptly, "I jumped over this fallen tree, but I never thought that there were still branches lying in ambush where I landed, and I slipped when I stepped on it... "

Most of Tang's face was in the oxygen supply mask, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but nine times out of ten he was gloating. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you sitting?"

Jin said with a paralyzed face, "Sitting on a grass stalk that fell on the ground, I think I'm about to die."

"No, at most a thorn in the buttocks, there is medicine in the base." Tang's voice contained a smile that could not be concealed.

Jin Chong silently compared his two middle fingers.

The little mop was still standing behind the tree trunk, raised its foot and gestured, and then silently shrank back. With her short legs, it is estimated that she can't cross it. If she accidentally sits on a tree trunk, she will suffer the same torture as her dear father.

"You are really talented." Chu Si said angrily, lifted up Jin, who was stiff, and carried the little mop over the tree trunk, "Okay, let's go."

"I found that you are much gentler to the child than to me." Jin pouted and followed behind the two of them awkwardly.

Chu Si didn't speak, but Tang laughed in front of him and replied casually: "You should be glad that you haven't stayed in the training camp. If you are trained by our chief for five years, your legs will be weak when you see him in custody, and he will also treat the little one. Cubs are a little bit patient, especially cubs who look miserable."

gold:"… "

After about ten minutes of walking, they finally saw a light.

It was a modular house that had been assembled. Judging from the bright lights from the windows, there were about seven rooms, surrounded by a circle, encircling a yard, but it was dark, and the yard could not be seen clearly. what's in there.

The place where the circle opens becomes the courtyard gate.

I have to say... This base is a bit too rudimentary.

As soon as they approached the base, a few windows were pushed open, several heads stuck out, and they asked here: "Don! Did you find the fly's eye? No wait! Why did you bring someone back?" !"

"Where the hell did you find someone?!"

"Is it dug out of the ground?"

There is no joy in the chattering questioning, but for some reason, it makes people suddenly relaxed.

After coming out of the freezer, Chu Si really realized for the first time that they were indeed still alive, living well, and maybe if they lived a little longer, they would be able to return to the world again.

"I'll talk about the fly's eye later, you won't want to know who I found." Tang said to them, "Get ready to come out and call Grandpa."

Everyone: "… "

Chus: "..."

The moment the three of them fully entered the base, Chu Si heard the sound of "ding" messages in those rooms one after another.

One of them muttered: "God, can you expand the range a little more, and everyone will only be prompted by the communicator when they enter the base, and they're fucking defensive!"

Hearing the three words "communicator", Chu Si subconsciously lowered his head and took out his communicator, flipped a few times with his fingers, and called up the message interface. The message that he sent to Sae Yang by mistake was still lying quietly at the top, without receiving the slightest reply.

Chu Si: "..." Well, since there has been no movement for such a long time, Mr. Yang, the escaped prisoner, is basically mad.
