soul bondage

I left the elevator, followed the guidance of the monitor, walked through countless staff in gray and blue suits, and arrived at the door of a conference room marked the Sixth Chamber. The Kocht guards standing on both sides scanned the I nodded at me after one time and opened the door.

After I walked in and looked around, I found that everyone became tall and strong like me, and everyone put on a black Beru suit like me, which resulted in me becoming a bit of a monster in the middle of this group of "humanoid tanks". Feeling a bit at a loss, I looked at other people and found that everyone was in the same situation as me.Fortunately, at this moment, a wise servant came over with something similar to a tray, nodded at me slightly and said in a respectful tone:

"Student, hello, here is your credit chip and tactical timer, in addition to your biometric ID card, please keep it. We have upgraded your ICT, and from today ICT will record All the achievements as a student and the record after becoming a scout, and there is a deposit of [-] credits in the credit chip. Now, please place the ID card and the credit chip on the ICT to scan, start the authentication system and obtain your Grant funds in the Starfleet."

I followed his instructions and gently slid the two silver chips in my hand over the ICT on my arm. The ICT screen flashed countless digital codes quickly. After about five seconds, the ICT returned to the normal display On the orange screen, the smart servant bowed to me and got into the crowd.

A few minutes later, the door was opened again, and this time several people in green clothes appeared, and they walked straight through the crowd to the high platform in the deepest part of the room. There are many different people, and I recognized the big guy at the head at a glance in the crowd.

When these five or six people were laid out word by word on the high platform, the leader took a step forward and shouted with his special loud voice.

"It seems that you guys are recovering well. I am Kan, your chief instructor. I believe many of you have dealt with me. Even if some of you don't know me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I must Will make you remember me.

Starting today, you will receive two years of military training. During this period, your every word and deed will be closely watched by us. A small piece of advice, don't try to resist or run away, otherwise what awaits you will not be as simple as being stung by a small thorn.Okay, now I will introduce you to the other four instructors, Han, who is in charge of high-end weapon applications and tactical shooting, Qiyi, who is in charge of close combat and field first aid, Lilian, who is in charge of individual penetration and hacking applications, Joe, who is in charge of long-range sniper and blasting.In addition to receiving training from these instructors, if you want to get the Black Gold Medal of the Scout, you must also pass 25 subjects including low-earth orbit airborne, long-distance armed swimming, and high-gravity cross-country.Even if you fail only one subject, you will never pass the final assessment. Every three months to half a year, we will arrange a practical assessment to test your learning results, so if anyone does not want to kill someone, please let me know immediately. Can you personally help you overcome your psychological fear? "

No one responded, and Kan glanced at us dismissively and continued.

"Now I have divided 125 of you into 25 training groups of varying numbers. We have sent you the position of each group member and group leader. During the period in the iron cave, you must fully obey the group leader's orders. If If someone disobeys the order, the team leader can use any method to deal with it or come to me or other instructors. Well, go to your team leader and disband."

As soon as Instructor Kan finished speaking, the black sea of ​​people surged, and everyone was looking for their companions.I looked at the ICT and found that there were five other names on it besides me, namely Stettin, Hank, Andel, Ryan, and Gash.

I raised my head and looked for them in the crowd, and after a while the six of us gathered together.I carefully looked at the five people with different shapes in front of me. Whether it was Stiletne or Ryan, they felt that they were several sizes bigger than before, and Gash, my God!In his black battle suit, he was like an armored vehicle.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yu Zhe. From now on we will be in the 13th group. Please take care of me." I took off my helmet and said with a smile.No one noticed that my hands were trembling slightly, and it was inevitable that I would feel a little nervous when I thought that these big guys with all kinds of strange looks would become my comrades in arms in the future.The other five people also took off their helmets after hearing what I said.

"My name is Shi Tieting, hello everyone." Shi Tieting said with a smile.

"Ryan, please take care of me." Ryan nodded to us one by one after speaking in his beautiful voice.

"Well, well, I, my name is Gash, that, hello." Gash tapped his helmet nervously, lowered his head and whispered.

"Hank, it's nice to meet you." The Tuoan stared at the others with three pairs of kind eyes, with the expression on his face like a mischievous urchin.

"Ander." A Kocht next to Stettin said coldly.

"It seems that you are our leader, hello team leader." Shi Tieting looked at me and saluted jokingly.

"I want to clarify that although I am the person in charge of this group, I have no intention of ordering you. I just hope that everyone will treat me as a friend. Don't be like this guy. I will feel embarrassed instead."

"Understood, then we don't have to take orders from you." Hank blinked his six eyes.

"Of course, and as long as everyone works together and supports each other, I believe everyone can become a qualified scout." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Long live democracy, you are such a good man. By the way, who wants to steal Instructor Kan's pants with me."

Stettin quickly raised his hand.

"Don't do this, life is still good. Well let me see, I have new instructions on my ICT to go to the new accommodation area, where we have our personal belongings from the home planet and the Star Federation The daily necessities distributed for us. Let's go, go to eat first and then go to the new accommodation area." I waved to everyone.

For a person who has lived on the earth for 18 years, the compressed food and rehydrated food of the Star Alliance are not only monotonous, but also tasteless, but the six of us still gobbled up the dark yellow and brown food on the plate. Two clean.Gash even asked for another copy.I have a hunch that if I eat this stuff from now on, I'm afraid my sense of taste won't be of much use.

After eating, we found our new room through ICT's instructions. Compared with the previous room for two people, this new accommodation area is a dressing room of about [-] square meters and a dressing room. In the separate bathroom, we took off our combat uniforms and put on the green overalls issued by the Star Alliance.Going further inside are two single toilets and two rows of tall explosion-proof cabinets. Except for these fragments, the main body of the whole room is composed of five glass compartments. Our names are marked on the door of each compartment. After finding my own room, I turned around and went to a black backpack next to the desk to check it out. After finding nothing unusual, I took out a photo of my parents and me and put it on the bedside.I tied the tactical timer and ICT on my left and right arms. My ICT displays other people's positions and various information about the room. There is even a wireless network and a display screen in this room. I hope we can use it. get on.

That night, when the six of us were chatting in the new room, I found that everyone, like me, either lost their loved ones in the turmoil or their homes were devastated by the war. Except for Ander, he didn't say a word that night, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried. It seems that this person is not easy to get along with, and I will take more care of him in the future, so that he can blend in as soon as possible.

After everyone went to bed, I secretly took out the photo of me and my parents. Looking at the warm family of three in the photo with the dim bed lamp, I couldn’t help but sigh the ruthless fate. Children in the arms of their parents will leave their hometown and go to a strange planet.

I smoothed out the creases on the photo and turned off the lighting system. Before falling asleep, I took one last look at the other five cubicles. At this moment, the other cubicles are already dark. It seems that everyone has fallen asleep, and I will He covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.I'm afraid after tonight, I won't be able to sleep until I wake up naturally for the rest of my life.

The next morning, our group was assigned to the training ground of Instructor Han after experiencing the first "morning exercise" that we will never forget. Although this Soga instructor has two sharp tentacles on his back and a shark-like head , but compared with Instructor Kan, this instructor who speaks the unique deep voice of the Soga people is still friendly. After a self-introduction and greetings in the official document style, he smiled and waved at us, with an expression like a collector It seems that he wants to show us his collection.

The six of us and five other teams led us out of the gray high-rise building, through the noisy training ground, and walked to a building that looked quite large, although it was not very majestic, but I think its footprint Definitely one of the best buildings I have ever seen.Instructor Han asked all of us to put on the helmets of the Beru suits and checked the situation of the Beru suits for the last time. After we all nodded, Instructor Han swiped lightly with ICT on the monitor on the right side of the rolling door, and then quickly Enter the current command, and the three-meter-high gate opens.

We saw at least 100 or [-] soldiers in protective clothing conducting shooting training here. There are more than [-] compartments here, and each compartment has a number of target positions made of holograms. fall.Originally, the gunshots here should have easily covered our voices, but the deep voice of Instructor Han came into my ears clearly.

"This is Iron Cave's weapons and equipment research and development application center, but the name is too long, so we call this place the bomb feeder. There are nearly [-] prototypes of weapons here, including the materials used by various star regions in modern warfare. All kinds of sophisticated equipment we got here, it can be said that the weapons that can have a place here are all stained with the blood of countless living beings. Come, let’s go this way.” Instructor Han led us around the shooting range and opened a door marked with non-approved Doors where no one is allowed to enter.

As soon as I walked in, I was stunned by the weapons that came into view.

"Oh my God."

"so amazing."

All of us gasped.

This 1000-square-meter house can realize the biggest dream of a firearms enthusiast. On the holographic screens on both sides of the room, there are countless weapon drawings and materials, ranging from ordinary pistols and assault rifles to guided grenade launchers. And the magnetic track, originally these things were just ruthless killing tools, but everything here fascinated me, a foreigner.

Instructor Han smiled when he saw us.

"This weapon room is just the tip of the iceberg. Iron Cave has the vast majority of weapon materials of all races in all star regions. The weapons in front of you are strictly selected by the Star Federation. Many of the guns have excellent performance. This is far from enough for Lianhe Iron Cave.”

We passed through a gate made of titanium alloy. Above the gate, I saw the familiar rotary cannon and a strangely shaped launcher.

After I walked in, the light in the room was obviously dimmed. Compared with the previous armory, the only thing that attracted me in this small room with only dozens of seats was the few weapons and equipment on the table at the front of the room.Instructor Han sat in front of the table and waved his right hand to signal us to sit down, and used the two unique tentacles extending from the back of the Suojia people to operate a terminal a few times, and the projection introduced the weapons on the table.

ZX heavy-duty gun, equipped with a special muffler and a small reflective sight, has an effective range of 75 meters, uses 9mm armor-piercing bullets, and is equipped with a 20-round composite material magazine, which can effectively produce damage to enemies equipped with shields and nanosuits. Damage, the tactical auxiliary hanger below it can emit infrared rays and tactical lasers of various colors.

K99 laser, with an effective range of 300 meters, has a built-in noise reduction function, is equipped with a 2x holographic optical sight, and emits a directional laser beam. It is powered by a star-linked light nuclear battery and can emit 100 laser beams. There are two shooting modes of charging and charging. In the absence of protection, even a biological weapon with a modification degree of more than 5% will be killed in one blow if it is hit by the charging bullet. In order to avoid accidental injury, the user must wear protective clothing. The fire rate and firing mode of the gun can be set through the microcomputer on the left side of the gun body.

SFG magnetic rail assault, with an effective range of 500 meters, uses 7.8*48 caliber caseless ammunition, has single-shot, three-shot and fully automatic shooting modes, and is equipped with 60 rounds of high-capacity composite magazines, which can be completed instantly through 3D printing technology Replace three types of bullets: armor-piercing, incendiary, and explosive.It has an exclusive sound suppressing brake, [-]-[-]x zoom optical sight and microwave high-explosive grenade hanging.The side of the gun body is equipped with grenade-specific holographic sights and tactical laser pointers, and various accessories from the trigger to the barrel can be replaced at any time.In addition to assault weapons, there are four types of guns: precision shooter, melee carbine and automatic machine gun.

TYE kinetic energy shotgun, this monster with dual magazines can fire 14+1 rounds of special shotgun ammunition, each bullet contains 15 steel nails, which can effectively penetrate nanomaterials and bulletproof fibers after firing Body armor, the effective range is 50 meters, but due to the different environment of each planet, we think that the best shooting range is within 35 meters.Comes with double inner red dot sight.It can be used for ammunition with a series of magazines or manually loaded with various types and uses of shotguns.

LS anti-materiel coil gun has a range of 2000-2500 meters and has amazing lethality. It can smash enemies without shields with just one shot and can penetrate bunkers to attack enemies. It is not only a nightmare for soldiers, but also anti-materials It is a sharp weapon that can effectively attack military facilities and military vehicles.Powered by Starlink heavy-duty batteries, with 20 rounds of ammunition, it is equipped with a 5.5-25*56x zoom sniper scope, a range finder, an identification friend or foe function, and a fire control system.

Baishoujiao guided rocket launcher, an anti-armor weapon independently developed by Starlink, has three launch modes, air blast, multi-target strike, and precision strike. It is equipped with 6 rockets, containing a small amount of graphite powder and steel sheets, which can attack personnel and Electronic devices cause secondary damage.Insurance system can be set.

"How about students? It sounds very powerful! These weapons were specially created for you by the geniuses in the field of weapon research and development of the Star Alliance for several years. Now that you are familiar with these relevant materials, let's go to Go to the shooting range and experience it for yourself, let me see your skills."

When I stand on the shooting range and hold the K99□□, it shows that the weapon has been automatically connected to the Beru suit under my sight.I've never been so excited, this is my first time shooting but I'm not nervous at all, on the contrary, I can't wait to unfold the folding gun rest and put it on the left shoulder to aim upwards, so that my eyes line up with the red circle on the scope Right now, the remaining 100 ammo is displayed below my filter.

After I was familiar with the basic operation of the gun, I walked to a virtual bunker with my legs shoulder-width apart, one in front of the other, and the five target positions instantly stood up at the sound of an order. The light targets in the mirror overlapped, and in less than three seconds, I fired five laser beams at the target, and the target fell down, and then ten, fifteen, and twenty more stood up.

I kept pulling the trigger, and all the targets fell under my fire attack. Around me, my teammates also opened fire on the targets.

"Stop shooting!" The instructor's voice came from behind.I walked out of the virtual bunker, locked the safety of the gun, removed the battery, and handed it to the wise servant. When the wise servant reached out to take my weapon away, I stared at this black object. This kind of thing killed countless people. It is this kind of thing that killed him!

At this time, my thoughts returned to that distant earth, back to that restless era.In my country, guns and ammunition are like drugs, and only desperadoes will get their hands on them, but the invasion of the Lorgars five years ago made most people understand that if there is no weapon to protect themselves, then most of us It is the fish on the Zushang.In this way, a large number of second-hand and inferior firearms got into every shady corner like poisonous insects.

I still remember that during that time, a middle-aged couple in our neighborhood also died in that Lorgar attack, and their only son was taken away by a strange distant cousin.This childhood friend was about my age and cheerful, so we had a friendly if not close relationship, but the death of his parents changed him completely.A boy who used to be smiling became taciturn overnight and treated the people around him with indifference, but I became very good friends with him at that time, we were like two lost puppies. In the sympathy and incomprehension of each other, they cuddled together for warmth.But people can never live in the past, life still has to look forward, but it is not easy to get out.

He called me out one night more than a year after the Lorgars withdrew. At that time, I had just been taken in by my adoptive parents and it was summer vacation, so I got permission to run out without much explanation.That night I went out to meet him after dinner, he grabbed me without saying much and pulled me into a run-down alley, then he turned around and looked at me, just looking at me helplessly.

It went on like this for about 1 minute.

"I'm leaving," he whispered, fingers digging at the moss-covered walls.

I froze for a moment, just about to speak, but didn't know what to say.

"I hate that guy."

"Who?"

"My uncle! They're not human! They're bloody bastards!" He cursed loudly and blew his nose.An old cat squatting on the eaves, squinting its eyes and taking a nap, was startled by his voice and barked twice in protest.

"What happened?" I asked softly.Looking at the bloodshot person in front of me, I suddenly felt very strange.

"Don't he know it's illegal for them to bring that horrible thing into the house?" He gestured with a trembling right hand for a gun.

"What! Are you sure? This is not a joke." I took two steps back unconsciously.

"I saw him come back with a guitar case one night, and I couldn't help but be curious as I tried to look at it, so he berated me and threatened me with death if I tried to peek. The guitar case went out. A few days later he came back with a backpack, but he still wouldn't let me near it. Gradually our family suddenly became richer for some reason, got a new car, a bigger house, and the guy even drank I bought [-] to [-] imported foreign wine. But he still brought back a bag or box from time to time, and took it out every few days. Finally, one day, I couldn’t help it, and sneaked out of his box after he was drunk. I took it out of his bedroom and finally opened it."

"Gun," I said.If my guess is correct, his uncle should have just wanted to buy a gun for self-defense just like other people who were bewitched by rumors at first, or it would be more accurate to comfort himself, but obviously seeing the huge underground arms market Few people can restrain their greed after profit, and more and more people like his uncle have taken risks and started selling guns by themselves in recent years.

"That's right, and they are all long guys. I need you to help me! Xiao Yu! You are the only person I trust! Help me call the police and let the police catch him. Don't let him harm others and himself again." Grab my shoulders, maybe I'm his last straw.

"Why, why didn't you tell the police yourself?" I knew I was asking knowingly.

"I was too scared when I put it back. I woke him up accidentally. When he found out, he beat me up and threatened to kill me if I called the police. He would kill me. He must know a lot of people. People in the background. Even if he is arrested, his friends will not let me go. If I call the police, maybe I will be killed by them that day. The police can’t help me, they can’t protect me 24 hours, I will Killed like those witnesses on the news, you have to help me, please, Xiaoyu!" He let go of my shoulder and looked at me in fear, his fingers unconsciously kept tearing the moss on the wall behind him, his lips It's pitiful to keep trembling.I really wanted to help him, but I was very afraid that I would get killed.Gun smuggling is becoming more and more serious these days, and those ordinary people who expose these criminals are rarely willing to report these moths of society, because today's illegal elements are no longer like the past, only dare to take a few long knives and iron bars to scare the timid at night Scared passers-by, current hooligans and hooligans basically have guns in their hands. Even in the capital of the motherland, you can often hear incidents of gunshot wounds in the outer suburbs.If I expose that man, I will probably be retaliated against.

"I'm sorry, I, I can't..." He looked at me blankly, but I could only turn around and stride away.
