The young man's heart is always jumping for joy, flying in the dream of conquering the world.
However, dreams are full, but reality is often skinny.
Shen Qingmei came to Lao Li again to eat Xiaozao. She was not satisfied with the food and looked lonely.
She came with great pride and vowed to become a mecha operator and go to the front line to fight the invaders to the death.
"The greatest warriors should die on the battlefield. This morning they set off again, and I can only watch as a bystander." The little girl looked a little disappointed in her eyes, and asked quietly: "Old Li , can you tell me what I did wrong?"
"It seems that the plan to become a mecha operator can't be realized for the time being?" Lao Li handed the wrapped rice ball and tempura to the little girl's hand and said: "Don't be anxious and don't be sad. The opportunity will come slowly. Yes, you are at least much better than Lao Li now."
"You must become famous as early as possible. This is what you said to me before. Now I am really worried that I will be old when it is my turn to take the mecha to the battlefield." Shen Qing frowned and said unwillingly: "I just don't understand, why She refused to give me a chance, I am the hardest working person among them all!”
"Haha, how old are you? When you really realize that you are old, you should try your best to prove that you are not old yet." Lao Li asked with a smile: "Those who feel aggrieved are generally those who have not been recognized for their talents. , will you complain and doubt your own situation, are you sure you are the best among your team?"
"Of course not. My Force level is level five, and there are others even close to level seven." Shen Qingmei sighed.
"If you are not, then you should keep working hard. If you are already the best and she doesn't give you a chance, I, Lao Li, will go out and settle the score with her for you."
"Haha, they say that Northeastern men are all big bastards. Lao Li, you really dare to brag."
"Okay, if I can make you laugh, then my boast is not in vain."
"But what if you are not bragging?" Shen Qingmei suddenly changed the subject, looked at Lao Li seriously, and asked: "Old Li, are we friends?"
"If you think so, forget it." Lao Li pretended to be serious and said, "You are the future mecha master, and I am a cook."
Shen Qingmei said seriously: "I have actually been holding a question in my mind for a long time. If you really treat me as a friend, just tell me the truth."
"Do you want to ask me what my relationship is with the chief?"
"No, what I want to ask is what is your relationship with Mr. Long?" Shen Qing raised her eyebrows: "There are some rumors in the base that on the day you came to report, Mr. Long personally went to the logistics department to look for you, and finally waited. You didn't show up for a long time. I originally thought it was just a rumor created by others, but recently I suddenly realized that I was called in to take your place. So I thought, with such a high status as the president, you will not be special. Call a cook to come in and cook good meals to boost morale."
"Then you came to the conclusion that the legend that Mr. Long was waiting to see me that day was true?"
"Mr. Long was originally going to give us the first lesson that day. This was supposed to be a very important lesson, but he was three hours late." Shen Qing frowned and said, "Then there was that rumor. I actually I don’t believe it, but I really can’t think of anything important that’s worth wasting three hours on, so I’m here to ask you.”
"You said it was just a rumor, and you didn't bother to think about it. I am just a cook. He is the commander-in-chief of the first line of defense. He wants to see me. It takes only a few minutes to give an order." Lao Li smiled and said: "Wait three hours. , thanks to this guy who made up rumors, he can figure it out."
"Hey, I just don't think it's reliable." Shen Qingmei believed it to be true, but was disappointed: "Originally, I was hoping that if the rumors were true, I wanted to ask you to help me find a back door and let me control the mecha to participate in an actual battle."
"Don't be disappointed. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you can't follow the war. Haven't you seen how many people have been killed or injured these days?" Lao Li said: "The number of these giant magic soldiers is getting more and more. I heard the officers who came back from chatting in the canteen saying that the Australian defense line It has completely collapsed, and the giant monster soldiers over there will come north sooner or later. When the time comes, are you still worried that it won't be your turn?"
"It is the honor of our family to die fighting for the country." Shen Qingmei said: "When the alliance was first established, my father was a member of the guard of the commander-in-chief. To protect the commander-in-chief, he was killed by Taeko Kazama, the leader of the Japanese right-wing organization. When I was a child I grew up next to my grandfather, and every time I talk about my father, he always sounds very proud of me."
Lao Li remembered that twenty-two years ago, he was teasing Lao Shen as the director of the Special Operations Office. Suddenly he was excited and blurted out: "Isn't it just to operate the mecha on the front line? I helped you with this. Although I don't know Mr. Long, it is absolutely true that I know him. This time I will show off my old face to help. You once."
"Are you serious?" Shen Qingmei was overjoyed and pulled Lao Li excitedly, a little doubtful: "Can you really ask the chief executive to say a word for me?"
"I'll try my best, it should be about the same." Lao Li stood up and said, "Someone is coming to see you. Let's stop talking here today. I'll contact you later and let you know."
As soon as he finished speaking, an American off-road vehicle sped in outside the yard and stopped neatly in front of the two of them. Two young men jumped out of the car. One was tall, agile, clean and handsome, and the other was majestic and bearded. When the tall and handsome young man saw Shen Qingmei holding Lao Li's hand, he frowned slightly and said, "Shen Qingmei, Junyanjun and I were looking for you everywhere. We were at the training ground just now." I didn’t see it, it turns out you came here for extra food.”
"Tachibana Kirin Hoshiken, Honda Toshihiko, why are you two here looking for me?" Shen Qingmei let go of Lao Li's hand and greeted the two of them: "Aren't candidates allowed to leave the training base? Is it you?"
"That's right, it's what you think." The tall and handsome man named Tachibana Kiriboshi said proudly: "Miss Shen Qingmei, when you see us again in the future, you will call us the main mecha warriors. Now we are just like you. They are all high-level Force Awakeners from the Alliance Army. Maybe, we will personally carry the mechas to the battlefield earlier than you."
"Then we have to wait until your simulation results surpass mine." Shen Qingmei was a little unhappy. The fighting on the front line was fierce. On the three defense lines, there were casualties in almost every battle. The attrition was so serious that even the left-wing aristocratic young masters on this island They had all been recruited, but she, a veteran with more training experience, had not yet had a chance to fight. She would not believe it if she was not targeted, or if it meant breaking the law.
The bearded Toshihiko Honda glanced at Lao Li and said, "Miss Shen, is this senior your friend or your elder?"
Shen Qingmei said: "He is Lao Li, my best friend. We came here by plane." Then he said to Lao Li: "These two are friends who met in the mecha warrior training class. They are students in the waiting class, and we often go to the training ground together to take additional classes, and we get to know each other after we meet them often."
"It turns out to be Senior Li." Toshihiko Honda nodded slightly. Tachibana Kiriboshi, who was beside him, didn't even look at Lao Li.
"Miss Shen Qingmei, we will be selecting mecha soldiers from now on. Can you please allow me to buy you a drink now?" Tachibana Linboxuan looked at Shen Qingmei excitedly and eagerly, expecting her to nod in agreement. .
"Let's forget it." Shen Qingmei shook her head and said, "I have to go back and study, otherwise my aunt will lose her temper if she can't find anyone at this time."
Everyone knew that the aunt Shen Qingmei mentioned was Ji Xuefei, the commander of the second section of the battle line, and no one was not afraid of that iron lady's ruthless style.
Tachibana Kirin Hoshiken glanced at Honda Toshihiko, and there was a subtle eye contact between the two. This small detail could be hidden from the simple Shen Qingmei, but how could it be hidden from Lao Li, who was more ghost than ghost and more thief than thief.
"We plan to go to Pier 1 in the South District to have a look." Toshihiko Honda said: "That is the place closest to the battlefield. There was a fierce battle just a few days ago. Our four mechas fought against two original soldiers. The powerful monster magic weapon left many wreckage fragments at the battle site. Mr. Yayoi Taro from the frontline bar picked up a lot. We made an agreement with Mr. Yayoi to go there today to have an eye-opener. If you don't plan to come with us, forget it."
Shen Qingmei was immediately moved when she heard it. The remains of the giant monster weapon were the war souvenirs she had always wanted to get. Because of the huge research value, the military would try to collect them as much as possible after every battle. If you are not a relevant person, it is very difficult to get even a scale claw.
"Can these fragments of debris be used to make wine?" Lao Li happily came over and asked.
Tachibana Linboxuan looked unhappy and said, "Senior Li, aren't you going to leave for a while?"
In Japan, which has always been very particular about etiquette and rules, this is already a very strict tone for expelling guests.
"Of course I want to be with our young lady." Lao Li said to Shen Qingmei's surprise, "Otherwise, you don't want to invite her anywhere."
Tachibana and Honda were both from wealthy families with family crests and surnames dating back to the Warring States Period of Japan. After these two people came from famous families, they were surrounded by followers who were like loyal servants. Thinking of the relationship between Shen Qingmei and Ji Xuefei, combined with the tone of Lao Li's words, the two of them suddenly understood.
Toshihiko Honda said: "Since you have to follow me to feel at ease, then just come along."
Shen Qingmei obviously wanted to go, but Lao Li saw that the two brothers had evil intentions, so he followed them to have a look when he was bored.
The two got into the off-road vehicle, and Tachibana Lin Boxuan drove the car, rushing south towards the Pier 1 they called.
Twenty minutes later, the four people arrived at their destination. The car passed through a desolate and dilapidated town, and finally stopped in front of a small bar.
Tachibana Linboxuan took the initiative to open the car door for Shen Qingmei and invited her into the bar very gentlemanly. Toshihiko Honda came over with a playful smile and pulled Lao Li in together.
The lights in the bar were dim and traditional Japanese music was echoing around. There were several tables scattered around the bar, and a dozen men were sitting here and there. Each one is fully armed and has piercing eyes.
As soon as Shen Qingmei walked in, she noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, her expression changed, and she stopped and stood at the door. Behind him, Lihua Lin Boxuan said softly: "Miss Shen, why don't you go inside?" As he said that, he pushed Shen Qingmei's back from the air.
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows and stood up, and was involuntarily pushed into the room by Tachibana Kirin Hoshiken's repulsive and object-controlling power.
"Now that we're here, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the host to leave without having a few drinks?" Toshihiko Honda said in a bad tone.
Shen Qingmei realized the seriousness of the situation. She immediately gathered a large ball of water and threw it at Honda Toshihiko. At the same time, she did not forget to shout to Lao Li: "Escape quickly! Go back and report the news!"
Lao Li said hello, but stood there without moving.
Tachibana Kirin Hoshiken waved his hand to disperse the water and said loudly: "Want to escape? Unless you escape into hell, you can't go anywhere."
When Shen Qingmei saw that Old Li was so stupid and did not move, he couldn't help but become anxious and said: "Old Li, you are really pissing me off."
"Someone kindly invited us to drink. It would be disrespectful to the host not to even meet the guests. Our Chinese nation has always been known as a country of etiquette, so we can't let these little devils underestimate us."
"Asshole!" A big man dressed as a ronin stood up and shouted: "Where are you from? You are a madman. Tell me your name. I, Yamada Nakano, will send you to death!"
Lao Li didn't even look at him, but looked at Tachibana Kirin Boxuan, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Isn't the real master planning to show up tonight?"
Tachibana Kirin Hoshiken was also a little surprised. It stands to reason that Taeko-sama should show up at this time. The two brothers were ordered to go undercover in the military, with the purpose of luring some important young talents out, and Taeko-sama Kazama would personally cast the spell. , recruit into the organization. At this time, Taeko-sama did not appear, which was really unusual.
There was a sigh in the darkness, and a woman's voice said: "I never thought I would meet you again in such a place and under such circumstances."
"To each other, I didn't expect that the host of this treat would be you. You are still as hospitable as before."
"Can I ask you a favor?" the woman's voice said.
"There is only unfeeling between you and me. Why do you ask me for this word of love?"
"Then I have no choice but to fight with you!" The woman suddenly let out a sharp roar and shouted in Japanese: "Everyone, run away separately!"
At this moment, Shen Qingmei was completely dumbfounded. She never thought that the trap carefully laid by these people had not yet come into effect. The person in charge just saw Lao Li and immediately made the decision to retreat. And judging from the tone of her words, it seemed to be full of despair.
Lao Li stayed put, but smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I haven't seen you for many years. You are very capable. This meat puppet is well trained. You can escape quickly this time, and the others should stay." After saying that, he did not pursue anyone. He suddenly squatted down and punched the ground!
Shen Qingmei was still wondering why Lao Li didn't chase people, but just slapped his fist on the ground stupidly, but those who were running away had already screamed and fell to the ground.
This punch struck down, and the force dispersed in pursuit. Suddenly many thorns protruded from the ground. In just a moment, there were only two living people left in the room. Including the two wealthy young men, their intestines were pierced by the ground thorns and their stomachs were badly torn.
Shen Qingmei was surprised and happy, and was about to say, "Old Li, you are amazing." Before the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly heard a loud bang. I didn't understand what was going on, but the person had already come outside. Houses collapsed in front of them, and there were constant rumbling and loud noises. A giant monster weapon that was about two hundred meters away appeared in front of them. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out balls of light waves, invincible to anyone who blocked it. The bar building that was standing just now was now in ruins.
"Don't be afraid, remember my words. If anyone asks about it after you go back, it will all be your fault." After saying that, he jumped up into the sky and went straight to the huge body of the giant monsters and weapons, waving and punching... .. (End of chapter)
