Snake Cave Mecha Training Ground.
A few days later-
Well……
Su Liang let out a groan.
A strange soreness gushed out from the depths of the body, but this uncomfortable feeling lasted only for a moment, and then everything went back to normal.
Xiao Liang? Are you okay?
It was just a little stiff, and Xue Yinhuan's concerned greetings came from Su Liang's ears.
fine.
Su Liang straightened up holding the recorder, and then smiled at the person beside him.
I haven't slept well lately... well, maybe I'm a little too tired.
he perfunctory.
I can see that your dark circles are too heavy. Xue Yinhuan glanced at Su Liang's face, and then he suddenly raised his eyebrows, I always feel that you are about the same as the boss these days. People are weird, what the hell are you doing... wait, it's that thing, right?
As if he suddenly figured out something, Xue Yinhuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
what?
We all know, the point of everyone's gossip lately is all about this—
Su Liang was dumbfounded and looked at Xue Yinhuan in shock.
You all know?
Every word that came out of my throat was a little fluttering.
Xue Yinhuan blinked, patted Su Liang's shoulder and laughed: Yeah, we all know that, I heard that you are about to make those lya flowers in the yard an invasive species? I heard that there are many places in that place now. They are all Leia flowers, and the medical department said that they will distribute a new mental calming spray to all of us recently, and the ingredients of Leia flowers are used in them.”
...Poor, almost.
Su Liang only felt that a heart suddenly fell back, and he responded dryly.
Leia plants are really difficult to deal with, Xiao Liang, you can grow the flowers of Leia to such an extent, you will be a ghost if you are not tired!
Xue Yinhuan began to thank Su Liang very seriously.
Su Liang: ...
It's not really tiring.
Because Su Liang didn't know why the flowers of Leia suddenly flooded.
Just after Lu Taipan expressed his pursuit to him with amazing momentum, the next day, when Su Liang opened the door, he found that the flower of Leia, which was just an ordinary bloom, actually merged into a vast flower in the yard. ocean. After the originally incomparably simple and thin little flowers were transformed into a sea of flowers, they looked extremely dazzling and magnificent, almost completely suppressing the original gorgeous leaves of the Laiya plant.
The housekeeper and the alien plant experts in the snake cave have studied for a long time, but they have not come up with a reason.
It can only be roughly guessed that these Leia plants usually collect scattered spiritual power scattered by humans as nutrients, and the reason why they bloom so densely is purely because of their excess nutrients.
As for why the Leia plant suddenly eats up, the reason is unknown.
Anyway, it can be determined that these flowers are beneficial and harmless to high-level Alpha, so the medical department did take some raw materials for the development of new mental stabilizers.
...
Oh, anyway, our boss is really weird recently, which has caused us all to be under a lot of mental stress. If we don't get some enhanced soothing sprays to relieve our emotional tension, we won't be able to live any longer!
Xue Yinhuan was still chattering in Su Liang's ear.
He's been... weird lately?
Su Liang was silent for a while, glanced to one side, and asked embarrassingly.
Yeah, didn't I complain to you? He's been laughing all of a sudden lately, wow, and it's not that kind of sneer and sneer, just a serious smile - I'd rather he slashed coldly. No one dares to face his kind of smile, it's super frustrating.
Xue Yinhuan rubbed her arms and complained.
And that day, I complained to Black Mamba in front of him, saying that the snake cave should not be called the snake cave, all the snakes looked like bachelors, no wonder everyone became bachelors in the end... In fact, I was really just telling a bad joke, you know. Thinking back on the scene at that time, Xue Yinhuan's face was solemn, In the end, the Black Mamba didn't laugh, and the Chi Lian didn't laugh, and everyone didn't laugh, and guess what? After a few minutes, our boss suddenly laughed.
The poisonous snake, who was completely blind, spoke more and more vigorously, completely unaware that the Beta boy beside him suddenly blushed and became more and more silent.
Oh, yes, and also, for example, aren't we going to go out for a practical exercise this time? It's just to clear up the star thieves in the border area. I can do this kind of trivial thing, it's really not good, Heiman. Ba is fine, but he not only made all the training plans himself, but also led the team this time! Do you know when the last time he personally led the team? It was when the Canaanite emperor was killed!
After speaking, Xue Yinhuan's face also became a little dignified: Wait... Isn't it true that there are some Canaan remnants in the frontier star thieves? Otherwise, why did the boss go there in person? But this is also unreasonable? When I see him making plans, he is very light and doesn't seem to be very serious.
A certain viper's heart sank all of a sudden.
He glanced nervously at the young man beside him, and suddenly wanted to persuade him not to act with him this time.
Xiao Liang, I suddenly felt that our actions this time might be very dangerous!
Xue Yinhuan said extremely heavily, and got a rather blank glance from Su Liangliu.
Yes, this time, Su Liang, who is Beta, will also go to the border exercise of Viper. In fact, when he first learned that the Viper Squad's actual combat exercise was really going to the border to clear up star thieves, all Su Liang thought was to apply to Lu Taipan, so that he could look at the exercise content and action plan afterwards, so as to enrich himself That rather botched set of emergency manuals.
He didn't expect that in the face of his application, the housekeeper just smiled and told him that it didn't need to be so troublesome.
As a personal mental adjuster, Master Su Liang, you must follow the master when he goes out to perform tasks. After all, performing tasks consumes a lot of mental energy, and you need to sort out his mental strength in time.
The android said with a smile.
This kind of activity of clearing up star thieves is a very easy job for poisonous snakes, and it can't even compare to their daily tasks. Well, you must know that cleaning up the feces of interstellar worms is probably more dangerous than dealing with star thieves, you You can safely record the details of the entire exercise by yourself, and I believe the master will be very happy to give you one-on-one real-time guidance in actual combat.
As if aware of Su Liang's ignorance, the housekeeper also comforted Su Liang sincerely at that time, emphasizing the relaxation, pleasure and safety of the task of clearing the star thief.
I think the master is probably in the mood to let everyone go out for a spring tour, so he chose such a low-tech mission as the content of the actual combat exercise. Please enjoy this vacation with peace of mind, Master Su Liang.
...So, Su Liang appeared at the mecha training ground along with other poisonous snakes on the morning when everyone was ready to board the spaceship and head to the border sector.
Oh, forget it, think about it, even if there are remnants of Canaanite forces, the boss himself has gone out, and the problem should not be big.
After some self-struggling, Xue Yinhuan figured it out again, and his tone suddenly returned to ease.
And just after his words fell, a strong wind suddenly hit the air, and there was the roar of the regular aircraft.
Su Liang hugged his recorder and raised his head in the direction of the sound, just in time to see the jet-black aircraft exclusively used by the Lord of the Snake Cave swept across the sky, then made an emergency stop, and then descended abruptly, and immediately came close to the ground.
The sound of the wind became more and more cracked, and it hovered steadily at about twenty meters above the ground. Then, the hatch of the aircraft opened, a figure appeared at the door, and then jumped down from the air vigorously.
Like a black panther.
Or a pitch-black blade.
When approaching the ground, the exoskeleton armor clinging to the surface of the man's body suddenly recoiled, a puff of smoke rose from the ground, and the tall and straight man fell to the ground with a light posture, standing firmly on the ground. superior.
Pitch-black hard close-fitting heavy combat uniform.
Rough, wild, pure black exoskeleton armor with almost every part showing a sense of power.
Combined with the extraordinary height and appearance of the double S-class Alpha.
At this moment, the person who descended doesn't seem to be just the Lord of the Snake Cave... but more like the King of Fallen Angels who descended from the sky, or, perhaps, a deadly man who can deceive people and tear apart half of the heaven. Demon King.
...
Boss...
The boss is here!
The poisonous snakes, who were still a little lazy at first, stopped all movements in an instant, and saluted the Lord of the Snake Cave one after another.
Lu Taipan nodded slightly, and returned a salute to his subordinates in silence. After that, he turned his head, and his focused gaze crossed the crowd and landed on Su Liang, who was at the very edge of the training ground.
Even though it was so far apart, the man's eyes still had a strong sense of presence. When he landed on him, it seemed as if something had touched him lightly.
Su Liang couldn't help but breathe for a while, and hugged the recorder in his arms tighter with both hands.
A few nights ago, the man's clumsy confession, as well as the strong fragrance of Leia flowers under the moonlight, suddenly became very vivid in Su Liang's mind.
Wow, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the boss is not usually so coquettish...
Xue Yinhuan was still chattering in his ear, but Su Liang didn't listen to what he said.
The others heard his muttering clearly and couldn't help but agree.
That's right, I also feel that the boss has been weird and showy these days.
At the same time, in the private communication channel that a group of poisonous snakes secretly reopened, there was a lot of voices.
[If I read it correctly... the exoskeleton light armor on the boss is a 'black peacock'? I remember it was specially made for him by the engineering department at the time for the Imperial Medal award ceremony, but the boss thought it was flashy and didn't seem to be worn at all? 】
[Wow, not really, boss, who has the record at that time? What did he say then...]
[Cough, brothers, I don't remember very clearly, but if you listen to this paragraph, do you feel familiar——'I don't need this kind of thing, I just need the exoskeleton armor to be useful enough, and I don't need it at all Anything special in aesthetics. We are warriors, not male peacocks trying to attract a mate. ’]
[I'm so stupid, I ordered the same model with the engineering department at that time, woohoo, this one is really nice! As a result, after listening to the boss's words, I went to refund the order. 】
[I thought that the boss had justly destroyed this set. As a result, he is wearing it himself now? 】
[Wow, the person who is the boss really has a dirty heart...]
[But think about it carefully, maybe the reason why this set of 'black peacock' looks so handsome and compelling is that the point is on the person wearing it, not the exoskeleton itself? 】
[Thinking this way seems to make me feel better. 】
...
Su Liang didn't notice the envy and jealousy of the snakes around him, and was heartbroken.
He was a little flustered, because Lu Taipan had already crossed the crowd without hesitation and walked straight towards him.
But Su Liang was not prepared at all how to face such Lu Taipan.
Until Lu Taipan stood firmly in front of him.
Good morning.
The man whispered.
The tone was as calm as ever.
I have to say that this attitude, which is no different from usual, made Su Liang relax a little.
Master Snake...Mr. Si, good morning.
Su Liang also greeted the other party dryly.
Then, he saw Lu Taipan stretch out his hand in front of him, slowly opening his palm.
In the center of the high-performance mecha glove, there is an extremely delicate flower, the leaves are tender green, and there is a small lump of soil left on the rhizome, which is wrapped by translucent fragmentary materials.
Pale pink petals quiver in the breeze.
The weather is fine today. Lu Taipan lowered his eyes and said awkwardly, I saw a flower when I went out. I thought it was pretty, so I brought it to you.
*
Except for the very small accident that there was a small flower inside the legendary mecha of Mohu Luojia, this time the border star thief settlement plan was carried out in an orderly manner according to Lu Taipan's plan.
After a few days of flying in space in the transport spacecraft of the Snake Cave, Su Liang and the other poisonous snakes came to the remote border from the central star area.
Just like what he had experienced in his previous life, there are indeed countless large and small star thieves entrenched in the border. And the border guards have already reached something that can be said to be almost tacit understanding with the star thieves in the long mutual struggle - the star thieves will not really invade the areas that the guards care about, such as those where the dignitaries live Sightseeing new or resource star with rich resources. same. When star thieves sacked those remote star regions that were extremely poor on the border, but could squeeze out some oil and water, the border guards would not pursue them too much.
It can be said that relying on the poorest people at the bottom of the remote star area, the star thieves can basically live a comfortable life.
Until the poisonous snake arrived here, and began the actual combat exercise code-named Spring Outing.
It was indeed just as the housekeeper had claimed to Su Liang, clearing up star thieves was indeed too easy for the poisonous snake. After going through the extremely cruel Canaan War and various gray areas after the war, even a novice in the Viper can eliminate this group of pure rabble very quickly and efficiently.
Just like that, one sector, followed by another.
The poisonous snake went along the periphery of the remote star area and completely wiped out the star thieves one by one. During this period, it was not that no star thieves heard the wind and fled far away, but under the pursuit of the poisonous snake, the final fate of those star thieves was Turned into bright fireworks on the way to escape. Su Liang also obtained a lot of extremely useful information and information in the process, and even he himself, under the guidance of Lu Taipan, could perform some simple operations on Mahu Luojia, but at this time he did not understand this. what exactly means.
And when that incident happened, Lu Taipan and Su Liang were also sitting inside the mecha for a little training.
Cleaning up the star thieves near the forty-sixth district... Judging from the current situation, it will take three hours to complete.
Su Liang carefully analyzed the trajectory map of the star thief spaceship in front of him, and said solemnly.
They're going to be in the siege soon, he added.
Lu Taipan glanced at him and did not raise any objection.
Su Liang pursed the corners of his mouth, suppressing a little excitement in his heart. He knew he was right.
Then his tone became lighter in an instant.
In the spare time in the afternoon, I think the third and seventh teams can go to the vicinity of coordinates 65.22.121 to clean up some large meteorites. There have been few people on the nearby air routes, because the transportation costs of these meteorites are too high. Ah, wait, these two coordinates, the interstellar worms have already started to lay eggs, we better destroy their nests before the spawning season, otherwise once they gather, the feces will finally open us up The route is blocked again...
Su Liang looked at the data constantly flashing on the virtual screen, and said softly to the man beside him.
When he first got into the mecha, just adapting to the fast-moving data flow made Su Liang dizzy. He didn't even think that after only a few days, he could already keep up with the speed of the data flow. He can even directly extract the information he wants from it, and summarize the tasks.
It is better to destroy these two places than to directly destroy the worm nests of these two coordinates.
After listening to Su Liang's analysis, Lu Taipan looked as usual, but he still put forward two small revisions.
After seeing the two coordinates he pointed out, Su Liang suddenly realized: It's my mistake. If I don't destroy the food source, even if the nest is destroyed, the worms in the nearby star field will still gather here...
Su Liang murmured, a trace of depression flashed across his eyes.
You're just inexperienced. You're amazing to be able to extract so much information in a short period of time.
Lu Taipan spoke, he did not overly praise Su Liang's ability because of his feelings for Su Liang.
In fact, Su Liang's learning ability surprised him. He was obviously a young man whose mental strength was not astonishing, but whether it was his reaction speed or his ability to adapt to information, Su Liang was quite good, and it could even be said that some were too good. . Even Mahoraka admits this.
You must know that not everyone can operate Mahoraga alone.
I'll put this in the experience book, so at least others won't be as inexperienced as me.
Su Liang recorded the experience he had just learned.
After today's training, the mecha returned to calm.
Even if it was not far from them, the star thief fleet in groups was densely spreading across the starry sky, Su Liang still felt peace in his heart.
Under the operation of Lu Taipan, Mahu Luojia's actions were as light as running water. Su Liang tapped the recorder, and then took time to glance at his side. After finding that Lu Taipan was concentrating on operating the mecha, he pretended to be nonchalant and poured some water on the nameless wild flower that was shrouded in the mask on the operating table.
... He didn't know why he would be so uncomfortable every time Lu Taipan took care of this little flower. If he had to say it, it was probably because every time he watered the flowers, he would greet the man's extremely focused and burning gaze.
Su Liang withdrew his hand, and didn't need to turn his head to know that the man was looking at him steadily at this time.
Today's Xiaohua is also very energetic. Su Liang's eyes were lowered, and he didn't dare to look back at Lu Taipan, so he could only mumble very softly.
Yeah. Lu Taipan replied seriously.
I'm glad you liked it.
After all... it's a flower. Su Liang simply didn't know why she would answer such a stupid thing.
... Of course, in his eyes, this slender little flower does look good.
Lu Taipan didn't speak, but Su Liang had a very strong feeling that the man at this moment should have a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Unconsciously, Su Liang couldn't help but smile.
...
At the next moment, this calm atmosphere was broken: in the vision that was connected with the mecha, the Star Thief Fleet, which had originally planned to enter the encirclement, suddenly began to divert without warning.
In the boundless universe, the blue light of the star thief spacecraft's thrusters draws a dazzling arc in the dark curtain.
what happened?!
Su Liang's nerves suddenly tightened.
Has our ambush been discovered? This was the first thought that popped into my mind.
Do not.
Lu Taipan shook his head without changing his expression.
If you know that this is our ambush, that group of star thieves can't be so orderly. He looked at the star thief's spaceship formation.
Then, he knocked on his headset
housekeeper?
he called.
We are hacking into the internal channel of the star thief to collect information, please wait.
AI said lazily.
A few minutes later, the butler sent the message back. But after reading the news, Lu Taipan couldn't help frowning.
He didn't like the change in his plan, but the change came.
The direction of the diversion of these star thieves is the forty-eighth district.
Because not long ago, the whistles of several star thieves found a fat sheep in the most famous garbage area in the forty-eighth district.
It was an eldest young master who was obviously from the Central Sector, alone, and there were signs of confusion. He has been wandering around the garbage dump in the 48th district for several days, grabbing people and starting to ask some strange things, and his behavior is very strange.
Of course, star thieves wouldn't care what a fat sheep was thinking. They only know that this young master can bring them a lot of money. And they couldn't resist this temptation at all. After all, because of the gradual clearance of poisonous snakes these days, the star thieves in the vicinity have already broken their courage and dared not go out in the depths of the abandoned galaxy. They are already starving to death.
If they can rely on this fat sheep to make up for it, at least they can still shrink for a few months until the limelight passes. It's a pity that the news leaked too quickly. At the same time as the fat sheep was caught, the remaining star thieves in other star areas also followed the wind.
idiot.
Lu Taipan said coldly.
Things are not new. There is indeed no shortage of such idiots in the central sector. I always feel that it is very stylish and interesting to explore the edge sector.
And once they are not lucky enough, the expedition has not been completed, but their traces have already been revealed, and then they are caught by the star thieves and exchanged for ransom money sent to each other's pockets by their parents crying.
In theory, this kind of unlucky bastard doesn't belong to the poisonous snake tube, but since they are paying off the star thieves, I am afraid that they can only adapt to the situation and be a kind person.
However, just when Lu Taipan gave the order and decided to follow the group of star thieves to rescue the hostages, the butler's voice in the headset suddenly changed.
I'm sorry to disturb you, Master, I need to report an important supplement to you.
It was obviously artificial intelligence, but inexplicably, Lu Taipan heard a hint of schadenfreude from the burst of electronic sounds.
I just received an emergency communication from within the Lu family. Master Lu Zhizhao forcibly broke through the confinement a few days ago and left the central star area.
And just now, his position disappeared in the forty-eighth district, the garbage dump.
Lu Taipan: …
