The Last Kabakans

Chapter 3 Disappearing

The bullets slapped against the scalp, fresh and wet grass mud splashed up, and the panicked civilians fell down.

Fighters roared past, smoke billowed all around, and explosions kept happening one after another. The formerly prosperous and prosperous Kabakan Star was riddled with holes and was no longer what it was before.

The smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of grass mud filled the boy's entire nostrils.

Hiding behind the collapsed sculpture, the boy's chest heaved violently, as if he hadn't recovered from the sudden change.

In the majestic building across the square, the boy's pale face was pressed tightly against the large French windows, his eyes filled with fear, dependence and expectation.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, the entire building collapsed, and the air waves swept the entire planet with dust and countless broken walls.

The sticky big tongue licked his cheek from his chin all the way, and the wet saliva flowed down his neck.

"Did I remind you," Gad woke up from his sleep, held Togo's chin and pushed it out a little, "As a well-trained and loyal dog, it is absolutely not allowed when the owner is resting." AWOL?"

The tall and strong dog is full of fangs and looks vicious, but it puts the spoils respectfully at the feet of its owner, then wags its tail and retreats a few steps, and sits upright, as if waiting for a reward child.

Gad wiped the saliva off his face, straightened up and stretched his arms, then took out a knife from his boot, picked up the fat gerbil and began to cut open its skin.

He only wore a dark waistcoat on his upper body, his entire bronze neck and arms were exposed, and his tight and tough muscles were well-proportioned and graceful.With a small movement of the hand, the layer of fine sand covering the arm rustled down.

The tempting smell quickly diffused in the air, and the dog's multiple senses were strongly stimulated, and it stretched its neck impatiently.

"Hush, baby," Gad stuck out his tongue and rolled the hot fresh meat from the knife into his mouth, "Wait a minute, wait a moment! You have to learn to wait until your master is full before taking your turn." your turn!"

The dog shrank his neck and let out a whimper, and the tick-tock saliva melted the loess in front of him into a ball of mud.

"Good dog!" Gad nodded in satisfaction, and threw the remaining half of the gerbil over. The dog raised his head and opened his mouth to catch it, and happily ate it.

Gad put away the stabbing knife, got up and patted the sand on his buttocks, walked to the edge of the cliff, put his hands on his hips, and looked down at the barren and desolate land under his feet like a king.

There were a few noisy birds chirping in the distance, Gad put the golden goggles on the bridge of his nose, and said without looking back, "Let's go baby, it's time to work!"

They have walked westward for more than 20 kilometers today, and in front of them is the small mound that he named McGui Heights.

Last time they accidentally discovered a canyon there, and there was a faint sound of gurgling water at the bottom of the valley.

All preparations have been made, but Togo stands on the edge of the shadow, looking into the distance motionlessly.

At the end of the horizon, the red planet hangs in the low sky, and those distorted lightnings seem to be close at hand.

"Don't worry," Gad walked up to the dog and patted his strong back lightly. The golden goggles reflected the light of the wise man, "There is no one up there."

"Let's go," he tried the small light bulb on his shoulder, "if we're lucky, we won't have to steal water from the valley anymore."

Joshua came out of the shower, his steamy skin was faintly pink.

Nuo Da’s cockpit was empty, he put on the vest and shorts, wiped his hair and sat on the chair, turned on the headset and started recording:

"Guardian log No. [-], [-]:[-] AM Nashville federal time, target planet Semias.

The surface temperature was 46 degrees Celsius, 38 percent higher than [-] hours ago.The intensity of ultraviolet light is level four, the moisture content of the atmosphere is [-]%, and the wind force..."

"Warning! Warning!" Before he finished speaking, the entire cockpit was lit with flashing red lights, and a cold and rigid voice came from the horn.

"Protective shield failure, location G92, K46, M88. Repeat, location G92, K46, M88."

"Damn!"

Joshua cursed under his breath, and rubbed the top of his head a few more times before throwing the towel away.

He stuck to the porthole on the left side and glanced out, then quickly put on the protective clothing, hung up the traction rope, opened the docking cabin door and floated out.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

Before reaching the designated location, another alarm sound similar to an alarm clock came from the headset.

Joshua turned on the small screen of the built-in tablet on the protective suit, and the red dot that was moving slowly disappeared again.

Why at this time?

There was a problem with the protective shield of the Watcher, and the resulting thunderstorms became more and more serious, and the prisoners held in Semiyas disappeared one after another. This really can easily drive a person who has been alone at his post for more than six months. .

But Joshua quickly overhauled all faulty devices, and after turning on the switch, the thunderstorm that lasted for more than four hours finally subsided, and the red barrier of the Watcher was restored as new again.

Before opening the hatch of the docking cabin, he looked back at the khaki planet behind him. At this time, the cold and rigid voice sounded again in the headset: "You have a new message, please check it as soon as possible."

Joshua threw the damaged parts on the operating table, turned around and took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator, tore off a corner and held it in his mouth, and turned on the communication device to start downloading video messages.

The progress bar moved very slowly. He took the opportunity to tie the sleeves of the one-piece protective suit around his waist, sat on the swivel chair in front of the monitor, and flicked on all the switches.

A seemingly irregular green line appeared on the black screen - that was the movement track of the prisoner "Reaper" on Semias.

Putting the half-drunk milk carton aside, Joshua began to operate seriously: the black background was switched to a gray and white plan, zoomed in and out, rotated and translated.

In addition to activities within the range they are familiar with, prisoners will also tentatively extend outwards, continue to expand, and occasionally wander on the edge of darkness.

He disappeared out of thin air a few days ago, but just when Joshua was about to report to his superiors, he appeared again.

At that time, Joshua thought it was a malfunction of the monitoring equipment, but today, through comparison, it was found that the prisoner disappeared twice at almost the same place - just behind the bare hill near the edge of darkness.

And today he has disappeared for almost five hours.

The slender and white fingers with well-articulated joints danced nimbly on the operation panel, and the gray-white image on the screen instantly turned into a khaki-yellow real scene.

The light of the stars came in through the porthole, and the soft light reflected his perfect profile.The one-piece protective suit was pulled back to the crotch, and the black military vest was tightly attached to his body, fully revealing his slender and graceful figure.

Eight years of studying at the Federal Army Academy made him more calm and determined. Even the interstellar battlefield training, which was exposed to the sun, the sun, and the rain, could not erase his innate aloofness.

"The download is complete." A cold and rigid voice came from the speaker.

Joshua put down the work in his hands, kicked his slender legs lightly on the ground, and then the swivel chair slid smoothly to the side. The moment his cold fingertips touched the screen of the communication device, he turned back and continued to stare at the monitor. khaki screen.

"Hey, Joshua," after a few seconds, the display screen of the video recorder finally lit up. Mrs. Richard, who was opposite, was sitting at a large desk. In the corner of the screen, thick curtains completely covered the floor-to-ceiling windows. .

Joshua's fingers that were beating on the operation panel hesitated slightly, as if he didn't expect his father's new wife to contact him at this time.

Mrs. Richard took another sharp puff before pressing out the cigarette butt, "How are you doing recently?"

But she immediately came to her senses, the Watcher was on the edge of the interstellar, and it would take seventeen hours for this video to be delivered to the recipient. At this time, her greeting seemed a bit polite and unrealistic.

After coughing slightly awkwardly, Mrs. Richard continued: "I thought you would go back to Kerway City to spend a pleasant vacation with us, but I didn't expect you to go to Tuqua after the training. desert.

Although what happened there made the Federation somewhat displeased, they finally agreed to issue you a Commendation Order, but they may have to wait for a while. "

Mrs. Richard deliberately avoided the important ones, but Joshua knew very well that if it wasn't because he and the instructor got into a military court, this commendation order would probably have come down long ago.

In order to keep his military status, Mrs. Richard also contributed money and efforts, more caring than his biological father.

After drinking the coffee brought by the female assistant, Mrs. Richard reached out and picked up a stack of documents next to her and said, "There is one more thing. Regarding the "Guardian Plan Drafting Plan", the high-level federal officials have made some changes. I will discuss the new plan later. It will be sent to you immediately, I hope you read it carefully, sign it and send it back to me as soon as possible.”

The female assistant next to her took the stack of documents from her and left the office. Mrs. Richard lit another cigarette and smoked it with ease.

Joshua couldn't help frowning: Isn't Semias under the control of Detrick's military department?Didn't you sign up for the guardian plan before?What does this have to do with the top federal officials?

After a long silence, Mrs. Richard said again: "As for your father, I hope you can understand him better, after all—"

At this time, there were noisy voices outside the door, and the female assistant showed half of her head through the crack of the door, her face was a little ugly.

Mrs. Richard waved her hand to let her go out first, then turned around and pressed most of the remaining cigarettes into the ashtray, got up and said, "Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk next time. Remember to pass it on to me as soon as possible. Also, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential.”

With a pop, the screen of the communicator fell into darkness again, and then a few large characters lit up——

File type: Text.

Secret Level: Top Secret.

The monitor was still performing graphic comparison and data analysis. Joshua was not in a hurry to open the document, but leaned quietly in his seat, falling into long-term contemplation.

As if he had made a major decision, he suddenly jumped up from the chair, and while unbuttoning the sleeves around his waist and putting them on, he said loudly, "Gagalin, switch on the machine."
