Super Optical Brain System

Chapter 45 Salute!

The border of the Earth Federation, the Lanling Defense Zone.

An Earth Federation Saber-toothed Tiger-class destroyer is advancing rapidly in the dark starry sky.

In the command room of the battleship, the captain Murdoch and the first officer Wang Yuming both looked worried, and most of the other crew members also had gloomy faces.

"Captain, who would do it? Could it be the legendary ghost ship?" Wang Yuming asked with frowning eyebrows.

Murdoch shook his head lightly and said, "I don't believe there is any ghost ship. It's just a rumor used by enemies with ulterior motives to disturb the morale of our army and shake the will of merchants."

Wang Yuming said: "But Captain, this is already the fourth time this month. Even if it is a rumor, if it recurs and comes true, everyone will believe it."

Murdoch looked at his deputy, gritted his teeth and said, "In any case, as soldiers, we must always rely on facts, unless the ghost ship really appeared in front of me, otherwise, I would never believe it. "

At this time, the navigator suddenly stood up and reported: "Captain, we have arrived at the accident site, and the wrecked cargo ship is on our right. Please issue further instructions."

"Forcibly hack into the system, build a bridge, and at the same time, the marines prepare to board the ship." Murdoch ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Murdoch and Wang Yuming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling porthole, looked to the right, and saw a Feihe-class medium-sized cargo ship parked in space.

According to the data in the database, the ship came from a company called Taibai Trading Company, which sailed in the Lanling area of ​​the border all year round, and the main cargo it transported was consumer-grade electronic equipment.

At this moment, the Feihe-class medium-sized cargo ship was drifting silently in space. No matter how the communications soldiers called, there was no response, and there was a dead silence.

Murdoch's eyes were slightly cold, and he whispered to Wang Yuming: "Come on, let's go up and have a look."

bang~
The bridge has been established, and an alloy landing extension channel extends from the sabre-toothed tiger-class destroyer, connecting the battleship and the cargo ship together.

The detection system reported that all the equipment on the Feihe-class cargo spacecraft was operating normally, and the air filter, gravity generator, and fusion reactor were still ignited.

But it was such a seemingly normal spaceship, but the life scanner did not detect any signs of life, as if all the people on board disappeared in place.

Wang Yuming gasped, it was so similar, it was so similar to the situation of the three spaceships that had the accident before!
The marines rushed into the cabin of the Feihe-class cargo ship through the bridge, followed by Wang Yuming and Captain Murdoch.

"Safe warehouse!" shouted the Marines ahead.

"Search this ship comprehensively! Don't let go of any corner!" Murdoch ordered loudly.

"Roger that!"

"One group enters the cockpit to get the navigation report, the second group goes to the power cabin, and the third group goes to the crew lounge!"

The captain of the Marine Corps assigned tasks to his subordinates, while Wang Yuming and Murdoch looked at the cabin full of cargo.

shuh~
Wang Yuming lifted a piece of canvas with his hands, revealing rows of wooden boxes under the canvas.

"It's a new type of virtual helmet, and a holographic game console for home use." Wang Yuming read the label on the box and frowned, "All the goods are here, which means it can't be done by pirates."

Murdoch nodded without speaking, but the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

The Lanlingfang area is located in the border area between the Pangxin Empire and the Assyrian Republic. The situation in the star field is changeable and the composition of personnel is complex. It is a typical three-way zone.

A large number of pirates, mercenaries, black market smugglers, and spies of various forces are active in the Lanling area. It is common to say that cargo ships are robbed by pirates, but all the cargo on this ship is there, but the crew has disappeared. , which is puzzling.

Prior to this, three similar incidents had occurred on the Lanling border, a passenger ship, a mining ship, and a smuggling cargo ship.

The crew members on these three ships were all killed inexplicably, and the death conditions were horrible, but the property on board did not lose a penny, which made the Border Legion feel really incomprehensible. This kind of killing purely for the sake of killing is not like the means of pirates at all. , Who directed these three tragedies?
Immediately afterwards, in the border area, there were rumors of ghost ships.

Rumors say that there is an old-fashioned warship riddled with holes in the Lanling area, and it is unknown at that time that it was destroyed. Although the soldiers on board have died, their ghosts linger.

Whenever a ghost ship appears, all instruments and electronic equipment on the ship will fail, and the surrounding stars will become dim, as if accidentally driving into a thick fog.

Next, the targeted ship will lose its power, watching the ghost ship approaching step by step, but there is nothing to do, bringing everyone on board into despair.

Once the ghost ship and the captured ship approach, the ghosts on the ship will invade in large numbers, slaughter all the people on board, suck their brains dry, and deprive them of their souls. Then, the ghost ship will leave to find the next target.

Soldiers are mostly materialists and can't believe in shitty ghost ships and immortal souls.

But the facts are right in front of our eyes. The successive accidents have shaken the confidence of the Border Corps, not to mention the businessmen who are active here.

According to the customs report, in just one month, the total amount of goods imported and exported through the Lanling Starfield has dropped by 30.00%. area.

"Report! The control room did not find anything!"

"Report! There is no one in the power cabin!"

"Report! The crew lounge is intact!"

One piece of news came, which worried Wang Yuming and Murdoch. This accident seemed to be exactly the same as the previous three so-called ghost ship accidents.

"Look, Captain!" Suddenly, Wang Yuming pointed to a puddle of viscous liquid under his feet.

He lifted his foot, and the disgusting white liquid stuck to the bottom of his combat boots, and there seemed to be some inconspicuous blood streaks in the liquid.

These liquids flowed from the corner of the warehouse. Wang Yuming and Murdoch searched all the way, and finally found a container. The container was locked from the outside, and there were streams of unknown liquid flowing from the gap at the bottom. People standing here can already There was a distinct fishy smell.

Murdoch paled, took a step back, and then nodded slightly at Wang Yuming.

bang~
Wang Yuming pulled the handle of the container and opened the door to both sides.

The stench rushed out, and the tragedy inside the container made the heart of the most daring fighter shrink.

The corpses of more than a dozen human beings had already been turned into bones, and they were poured into the transparent, bloodshot stinky liquid, as if a monster had eaten these people, digested half of them, and spit them out again!
When Jiang Xia woke up, she found herself in a medical room, lying on a white hospital bed with several tubes inserted into her body.

Wanshitong is beside Jiang Xia, but he has already fallen asleep, with his head tilted, lying on Jiang Xia's lap, not snoring, but some unknown liquid is slowly flowing out from the corner of his mouth, looking naive.

Jiang Xia reached out to pat Wanshitong's head, and found that his arms were wrapped with thick bandages, on both arms, on his body, and on his legs, making himself look like a mummy.

Jiang Xia struggled to lift his leg, Wanshitong felt the shock, jumped up as if nervous, and shouted in a daze, "Jiang Xia! Jiang Xia is not dead, right?"

"Nonsense! How can I die so easily." Jiang Xia said dumbfounded.

Wanshitong was taken aback for a moment, seeing Jiang Xia who was waking up, so he beat Jiang Xia's legs with his two small hands as if desperately.

"Bad guy! You bad guy! You scared me to death just now!"

Jiang Xia frowned, it seemed that she was seriously injured, she didn't use much strength, but her legs felt like they were broken, and the pain was burning.

"What? Did it hurt you?" Wanshitong was slightly taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and asked with concern.

"It deserves it!" Wanshitong suddenly punched Jiang Xia harder, then folded his arms and said, "Who told you to scare me? This aunt, this young master must teach you a lesson that you will never forget!"

Jiang Xia was speechless, he didn't intend to reason with the savage Master of Everything, turned his head and looked to the side, there was a row of portholes, and outside the windows was the deep and dark space.

"Where am I?" Jiang Xia asked looking at the nebula outside the porthole.

"The field medical ship Weihaiwei."

"So we have left the Changjing galaxy?"

"Well, a few hours ago, the evacuation fleet successfully entered our territory, and now we have returned to the Earth Federation."

"So the evacuation mission is complete?"

"Must!" Passionate beamed, "The major portals in the Milky Way have reported on the evacuation of our Earth Army in large pages, and said that we have accomplished a rare feat in the history of the Milky Way!"

"Within a week, we evacuated 35 billion nationals from the territory of the Qingxue Republic. This is the largest evacuation operation in the history of the Milky Way! The entire Milky Way is stunned!"

Jiang Xia let out a long breath, nodded slightly, and said to Wanshitong: "It's good that the evacuation of overseas Chinese is successful, it's good that it's successful, please bring me my electronic pipe."

"It's just under your pillow, you can't take it yourself!" Wan Shi Tong gave Jiang Xia a blank look.

"Isn't my hand inconvenient? I've already put on a brace."

"Tch, for the sake of my comrades in arms, I'll make an exception to help you once." Wanshitong pouted and said: "Speaking of which, you are really a man, and Chaya is a rare super warrior, and you are all Killed by force, I thought you were no match for him at all."

"Nonsense, I was originally a man." Jiang Xia stared at Wanshitong, watching him clumsily stuff the pods into the electronic pipe. fell out.

"Be careful, this is a Zhonghua pod, very expensive." Jiang Xia said distressedly.

"Smoke your cigarette!"

Wanshitong threw a fierce look at him, and then he stuffed the pipe into Jiang Xia's mouth so hard that he almost smashed Jiang Xia's front teeth.

"I said, how can you serve others like this? Be gentle, okay?" Jiang Xia took a puff of cigarette and complained.

"Satisfied with you! I have never been so nice to my grandpa!" Wanshitong said angrily. She picked up a red apple from the bow cabinet, and then peeled it clumsily with an electric peeler, and cut a piece of it. The small piece was stuffed into Jiang Xia's mouth.

"I smoke." Jiang Xia couldn't laugh or cry being served by Wanshitong, but his expression changed immediately, and he said in surprise: "What kind of apple did you peel for me with this smell? Where did it come from?"

"It's from the earth, it's a very old variety, it seems to be called Red Fuji."

puff~
Jiang Xia put the pipe aside, began to close her eyes, and chewed carefully, a rare smile appeared on her indifferent face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"The apples from my hometown taste like this, so delicious!" Jiang Xia couldn't bear to swallow the apple pomace, reminiscing about the wonderful taste just now.

"Dumpty, I haven't even eaten Red Fuji." Wanshitong said disapprovingly.

Jiang Xia looked at the apple peel on the ground, sighed softly, and said to himself: "Unfortunately, you ruined it. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten something from my hometown."

Wanshitong rolled his eyes, and wanted to smash the remaining apple on Jiang Xia's face.

But when Wanshitong saw Jiang Xia's loving eyes, he couldn't bear it. It was just an ordinary apple, but in Jiang Xia's eyes, there was a touch of affection that couldn't be concealed.

"Do you care so much about the earth's products?" Wan Shitong asked a little puzzled.

"That is, we descendants of immigrants have not returned to Earth for dozens of centuries." Jiang Xia said with a wry smile.

"What about the earth? What does the earth mean to you?"

"The earth is my home. Although I can't go back now, I will always know where my home is."

Wanshitong fell silent. Jiang Xia, a person who has never been to the earth, cares so much about the earth. He calls a place that only exists in his own memory as his home, which makes Wanshitong somewhat incomprehensible. It moved him very much.

"What happened to those kidnapped expatriates?" Jiang Xia asked suddenly.

Wan Shi exhaled and said, "Of course they were saved."

"It's just that the damned diplomatic laws of the Milky Way still have diplomats as protection. They know that the guys from the Pangxin Empire kidnapped those girls, but they can't arrest and kill them all. I'm so mad!"

Jiang Xia nodded, "At least we have lived up to the trust of the Federation."

All things channel: "Do you know? You have more than 100 titanium alloy nails on your body. If it weren't for the advancement of medicine, you would probably be abolished. After the Border Army, don't fight like this, and think about everything. Think about yourself."

Border Legion?

Only then did Jiang Xia remember that his station was not the Guard Corps. In terms of establishment, he was a member of the Frontier Corps. If there hadn't been a sudden evacuation of overseas Chinese, he might have gone to the Lanling border to report at this moment.

The world is unpredictable, Jiang Xia and the brothers of the Guardian Legion have just become acquainted, and they will be parted so soon.

"Mu Linsen asked me to give this to you after you wake up."

Know-it-all pulls out a tablet computer and starts playing a video.

In the picture, Mu Linsen, Jovi, Jacques, Doyle, Luo Yuhao, Ba Xinhai, Kahn, and all officers and soldiers of the Guardian Legion put on straight military uniforms and stood neatly.

Mu Linsen was still so serious, he was facing the camera, and said very seriously: "Jiang Xia, because of the mission, we can't wait for you to wake up before we have to go to another star field."

"Here, I bid farewell to you on behalf of everyone in the Legion. Everyone raised money and gave you a gift. I wish you all the best in the Border Legion!"

"Plus, you are a real soldier! A real tough guy! We are proud to work with a soldier like you! No matter when and where, the Guardian Legion will always welcome you home!"

"Take care all the way!"

"salute!"

Thousands of soldiers and warriors faced the camera together and gave a standard military salute to Jiang Xia with extremely serious expressions.

Although Jiang Xia was a maverick and brought countless controversies when he first came to the Guardian Legion, but when he left, what he took away was the deep respect of every brother in the Legion!

Jiang Xia put down the tablet computer and looked out the window with a smile on her face.

Why isn't he full of respect for the brothers of the Guardian Legion?
I will guard it from now on until I die!

Jiang Xia will remember the loyalty and integrity of the Guardian Legion forever!
