Don't treat Omega as a man [Interstellar]

Ren tremblingly rode the aircraft to the top floor of the base, and found that Ansel had already arrived.

The Omega base is oval, because its size is too huge, almost no one has noticed that there is a small flower garden on the roof of the base.Ansel was standing in the middle of the flowerbed, smiling at Ren who stepped off the aircraft.

Ren looked at the bright pink and white in front of him and was speechless. Ansel waved to him, beckoning him to come over. Then Ren came to his senses, walked around the blooming flowers carefully, and walked along the path to Ansel. In front of Serre.

Standing in front of Ansel, Ren first gave the lieutenant general a military salute, and he said after Ansel returned the salute, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"I came earlier, you don't have to be so polite." Ansel waved his hand, walked to the table and chairs in the middle of the garden, and motioned for Ren to sit down.

Ren hesitated, "You are the officer."

The implication is that one should be polite, but Ansel doesn't seem to care about these little things.He just smiled, bent down and started making tea for Ren and himself.

This move startled Ren. He hurriedly stood up, but Ansel sat on the chair by his shoulders, unable to move.

"Sit down," said Ansel, "just treat me as an older friend and we'll talk."

Ansel's hand was unexpectedly strong, pressing on Ren's shoulder. Although it didn't hurt, it combined with his words brought endless confusion to Ren.Ren wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he didn't know the point of the question.

It should be said, why did Ansel suddenly invite him here?Is it really because Ren secretly inquired about him behind his back that day?

Ansel doesn't seem to want to retaliate against Rennes. The lieutenant general cannot be a stingy person, so it can only show that Ansel is interested in Rennes.

But Ren didn't know where he had caught the lieutenant general's attention.Ansel did not watch Ren's subsequent mecha training, and he did not show up even on the night of the assessment.It should be said that since the day when the border war broke out, Ansel has rarely appeared in their sight.

And Ren still remembered that night, Ansel, who was standing in the corner, described his haggard appearance.

The current lieutenant general has returned to the gentle expression when he first met, making Renn wonder if he was wrong that night.But he was just guessing that it was impossible for Ansel to tell the recruits how he felt in detail. Even though he was superficially approachable, in his heart Lieutenant General Ansel Melville was a very proud guy.Even Ryan can see this.

The kind of pride that is not afraid of anyone or anything belongs only to the pride of a young lieutenant general.

Ren watched the cup in front of him being filled with tea, and the tangy tea fragrance came out from the mouth of the cup and wafted into the air, giving people a sense of fresh comfort.He looked up at Ansel, who smiled back at him.

Ren took a long breath, collected his mood, and said to Ansel seriously, "Thank you."

"Huh?" Ansel sat down across from him, and his nasal voice was slightly raised, with some playfulness in it.

"I shouldn't be inquiring about you behind your back." Ren lowered his head, stared at the table tightly, and clenched his hands on his knees into fists. "This is very rude to you, but you didn't blame me."

There was a wind blowing across the roof, and the branches in the flowerbed collided with each other, making a slight rustling sound.Ren was sweating on his head, and felt a little cold from the breeze. He resisted the urge to shiver, and quietly waited for Ansel's trial.

After what seemed like a long time, Ryan heard the sound of ceramic teacups and trays colliding on the opposite side, and then Ansel said, "Look up, soldier, you don't have to bend over me."

"But……"

Ren slowly straightened up, facing Ansel's unwavering dark blue pupils.

"My affairs are not a secret in the military, at least I personally think so." Ansel lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the flowers growing at his feet, "But people always have some secrets, if I really want to If those things are concealed, it is impossible for you to find out."

This makes sense, but Ren is wondering why Ansel said these words to him on purpose.

"How does it feel to practice?" Ansel asked him.

Ren was used to the lieutenant general suddenly changing the subject. He thought for a while and said a well-regulated answer, "Not bad."

Ansel shook his head, "The answer is too perfunctory."

"Practice training is very interesting," Ren straightened his back, and replied sternly, "Physical training is a bit tiring, but it is still within the acceptable range. But compared to Alpha..."

He suddenly realized that this kind of comparison was very stupid, so he immediately changed the phrase, "Alpha's training is very intensive."

Hearing what he said, Ansel smiled softly, "I heard that you were bullied by Alpha?"

Ren nodded honestly.He was a little hesitant to tell Ansel about that, because he didn't suffer any substantial harm, but after all, the behavior of the Alphas was very bad, and Ren felt that it was still necessary to remind them.

Just as he was about to speak, Ansel's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"I heard about that." Ansel said in a voice that Wren could barely hear, "It's been dealt with."

"Deal with it..." Ren was taken aback, and then he thought about those not-so-good pictures in his head.

Ansel glanced at him, "What are you thinking about?"

Ren knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled and said nothing. Ansel replaced the cold tea in their cups and said, "Continue, you haven't finished yet."

Ren really didn't know what Ansel wanted to hear from him, so he could only remain silent there. Ansel looked at him for a while, then suddenly sighed.

"Ren, why do you want to join the army?"

Ren raised his head suddenly, he didn't expect that Ansel Zhong would call his name directly.

"I..." Ren frowned and carefully considered the words, and then he said, "I want to be a mecha soldier, fight on the front line, and protect our galaxy."

This is the oath that reserve mech soldiers take when they formally enlist in the army.It is the creed that Rennes will stick to in the future.

——"The stars are twinkling, and the endless night sky will become my battlefield. From now on, I will take up the heaviest weapon and guard the satellite system until I die. I am a shooting star in the night, a sharp blade that will open, and The agile falcon. I dedicate myself to the mecha under my feet, I dedicate my blood to the rising sun, I will go to the battlefield with glory, and I will return with glory after the battle."

——"Imperial mechs are invincible, invincible, and omnipotent."

"Invincible, invincible, omnipotent." Ansel repeated softly.The twelve words read out of his mouth were like a line of beautiful poetry, but his tone was so firm, each word hit Ren's ears and heart heavily, making Renn patient. His blood boiled uncontrollably.

He looked at Ansel, as if he hoped to see something from the lieutenant general's still calm eyes, maybe he wanted his encouragement, maybe he wanted affirmation, whatever.But Ansel just looked back at him quietly and said, "Your answer doesn't qualify."

Ryan almost jumped up.What kind of answer do you need to qualify?Ren didn't understand, what kind of response did his chief want from him?

"Your original intention of joining the army was to defend your home and country. Do you believe that?" Ansel's tone was calm.

"I was rescued by soldiers when I was a child, and later my neighbor's elder brother became a special soldier. They are my dreams." Ren simply said everything about himself, "Isn't this answer okay?"

There was no need for Ansel to say it, but Ren could tell from his smiling expression that Ansel was not satisfied with the answer either.

Just when Ren was at a loss, Ansel slowly put down the empty teacup in his hand, and said to him, "Is it just because of these?"

Ren was taken aback.

"The answer is in your heart." Ansel stood up, his black hair was stirred up by the breeze, he walked to the edge of the flowerbed and looked down at everything in the Omega base, and said without looking back, "I will give you a week Time to figure this out, and if you don’t get an answer by then, you’re likely to miss an opportunity.”

What is the chance?Ren wanted to ask him very much, but seeing Ansel's tall and determined back, he couldn't ask a word.
