Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Solar System, Mars, Mythliya Armory, MA5 Officers Club.

The MA5 Officers Club was transformed from a scrapped old destroyer and is located in a corner of the Misliya Armory. The place is always filled with all kinds of officers. They are either crew members of warships anchored here for replenishment, or technicians working in the armory.

There is a huge mahogany round table in the middle of the club. The cigarettes were placed casually on the table while smoking, leaving dense burnt grooves there. There are many wine bottles on the counter behind the bar, filled with colorful wines.

The oak paneled walls of the room were polished and gold-rimmed blue flags hung along the walls, as well as gold and silver medals for bravery and prowess in battle.

Photos of Cole, Wallace and other generals who enjoyed great military exploits also hang there. The most eye-catching one is a vintage oil painting of Hephaestus forging a spear. In the picture, continuous volcanoes are erupting, and blood-red lava burns through the sky. The ground was shaking, and the trees in the forest were being thrown around. Hephaestus, the god of earth and fire, raised his hammer with concentration, and dazzling sparks burst out on the red-hot spear.

However, the hustle and bustle of the past has completely disappeared today. The rumors circulating in the fleet in recent days have made the officers panic. Most of the officers sitting here now were urgently recalled by the high command, and the solar system was already overcrowded.

This urgent order seems to increase the credibility of the rumors - of course, the high command has never clarified the rumors in the military.

The Yaoshu is moored at the port of the Misliya Armory. She needs a period of overhaul and maintenance before she can sail again. Therefore, the resting crew members on board relax in the entertainment venues near the armory, and Nana Kamano is no exception.

Di Qing asked an acquaintance of hers to reserve a seat, and then brought Nana Kamano to the club, saying, Having good interpersonal relationships is also part of becoming a good officer.

Kamano Nana walked into the side hall of the club. The fruity aroma of wine and the rich smell of Chinese liquor lingered around, and the light illuminated the gray-white walls slightly.

Every table was surrounded by officers, chatting in low voices. Some were analyzing the movements of the Covenant fleet; some were discussing their experience in defeating the enemy; some were searching for news about the long-lost General Whitcomb. .

Nana Kamano was led by Di Qing to sit down, opposite Di Qing's acquaintance, with a small round table made of titanium alloy between them. She has short, fluffy black hair, a low nose bridge, and a round face that shows a bit of natural kindness.

Kamano Nana learned from Di Qing's introduction that the strange female major in front of her was named Wang Yiran. She received an order from the high command half a month ago to return to the solar system with her own fleet, and was quickly incorporated into the home fleet.

Within a few minutes of chatting, Wang Yiran saw Nana Kamano purse her lips, so she stood up and asked with a smile: Xiao Di, Warrant Officer Kamano, what snacks and drinks do you want to order?

Shaoxing old wine and a piece of blueberry cream cake. Di Qing hesitated, No, the taste of cream cake and rice wine tastes weird when mixed together. Give me a glass of orange juice first.

Wang Yiran nodded with a smile, then looked at Kamano Nana, stretched out his hand and pressed it down to stop the warrant officer who was getting up. She noticed that the new female officer was a little reserved, so she said comfortingly: It's okay to be casual. This is not a formal occasion.

Nana Kamano scratched her head in embarrassment, her silky black hair rippling slightly, Do you have any fruit wine? Any fruit wine will do, please!

Yes, wait for me.

Seeing Wang Yiran walk to the bar to get snacks and drinks, Nana Kamano approached Di Qing and said uneasily: Captain, isn't it good? Lieutenant Theodore and the others are still busy on the ship. , but here we are.”

Di Qing waved her hand casually, Don't worry, the shooter missiles are still on their way, and you will be busy soon.

Such words failed to comfort her, so Nana Kamano lowered her head and said Oh. Thinking that his colleagues were still busy, but he was dragged here by the captain for entertainment, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Seeing her like this, Di Qing shrugged helplessly. Nana Kamano is indeed talented, diligent and motivated, and will definitely become an excellent officer in time, but this is not the key reason why Di Qing invests so much time and energy in her.

Di Qing thought that since she couldn't attack Colonel Price directly, she would attack the person next to her. With how much he values ​​emotional relationships, if he provides enough care and help, then when Nana Kamano tells Price about this experience, he will definitely have to reciprocate.

Thinking of this, Di Qing couldn't help but feel complacent about her indirect pillow plan.

Wang Yiran came back soon. The crisp sound of the wine glass when it touched the table was still echoing. She couldn't wait to ask how Di Qing defeated the three ships of the Covenant on the Blue Star in Zhonghai and returned safely. .

A proud smile appeared on Di Qing's lips, she straightened her waist, cleared her throat, and spoke to her. When talking about what happened when he just completed the jump, Wang Yiran exclaimed in a low voice; when talking about the betrayal of Second Lieutenant Kenta Matsuno, Wang Yiran gritted his teeth and wished to tear him apart with his own hands; when talking about the bravery of the Spartan warriors, Wang Yiran's face showed Sincerely proud.

When Di Qing finished telling how she imitated the Keyes maneuver and defeated the enemy fleet, Wang Yiran first praised Di Qing, and then sighed: Colonel Jacob Keyes is really an outstanding space tactician. Home. At this moment, her face showed unconcealable admiration.

Kamano Nana had similar thoughts after hearing this, but she did not dare to express her speech as naturally as Wang Yiran.

Di Qing chuckled twice, and moved closer to Wang Yiran, her face showing a bit of embarrassment, Didn't you do something to him before? What did he say?

Seeing the expression on Di Qing's face, combined with that, Kamano Nana had some understanding, and couldn't help but turn her little head to one side curiously.

There was a little twist in Wang Yiran's tone, Oh, it's not as straightforward as you said. I just revealed a little bit of what I meant, and Colonel Case immediately distanced himself from me. Besides, he doesn't even have his daughter. We have everything, but the target is still 'that' Dr. Catherine Halsey, there is no way I can do it.

When she heard Halsey's name, Di Qing almost rolled her eyes out of her sockets. I'm going to laugh my teeth off, and Catherine Halsey is nothing.
