Xia Hanbing thought that the marshal took Lin Ran aside to talk about business, but she didn't expect that she would actually see this ambiguous scene.
The way they were holding hands looked so harmonious and well matched.
The two of them...when did they progress so fast?
However, seeing is not necessarily believing.
At least, in Lin Ran's opinion, Shangguan Xingyue forgot to take his hand away after injecting source power into himself.
Well, he also forgot to shake off the other party's hand.
Seeing Xia Hanbing's eyes falling on the hands held by the two of them, Shangguan Xingyue said, "I am sensing Lin Ran's physical condition."
This...is actually an explanation?
"Oh, okay, Marshal." Colonel Xiaoxia's pretty face suddenly turned red.
At this moment, she instinctively thought that the marshal did not need to explain anything to herself.
However, a certain major general said with a smile, "Explanation is just a cover-up. It's been several minutes since I felt it, and you're still not willing to let go?"
"you……"
It was rare to see Shangguan Xingyue's eyes flashing with shame and annoyance.
She raised her foot and stepped on Lin Ran's foot hard, causing the latter to scream in pain.
"Let's go. I wish Major General Lin a safe journey." Shangguan Xingyue said angrily and turned to leave.
Xia Hanbing waited for Shangguan Xingyue's back to go away, then walked back to Lin Ran. She chuckled and said, "Hey, the marshal has never been so kind to other men. Don't be ignorant of your blessings."
For some reason, Xia Hanbing didn't have any jealous thoughts in her heart. On the contrary, she actually found that she was very happy about it.
"Are you gloating?" Lin Ran asked.
He saw the smile on Xia Hanbing's lips and was slightly surprised.
In fact, Lin Ran has always understood Xia Hanbing's feelings for him, but most of the time, he really just regards this girl as his sister.
"No." Xia Hanbing said seriously, "Lin Ran, Ni must know that the marshal has been standing at the highest point in the world. It must be very cold there."
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "So, what you mean is..."
Xia Hanbing's eyes revealed a sincere meaning, "So, I hope she can feel less lonely."
…………
On the Falcon fighter jet flying at high speed, Lin Ran kept looking out the porthole, silent.
It seemed that he was still thinking about Shangguan Xingyue's inadvertent holding of hands and Xia Hanbing's last words.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after carefully chewing on Xia Hanbing's words, Lin Ran always felt that there seemed to be something hesitant to say and something profound in Shangguan Xingyue's hand-holding action. Qi Fengwan didn't tease him anymore, and seemed to have some concerns.
As the fighter plane crossed the night and the ocean, and when dawn was about to come, she suddenly said, "Actually, although your military department just bullied me miserably,... I still envy you and them."
This "them" naturally refers to Xia Hanbing and Shangguan Xingyue.
"Why do you envy me? Why do you envy them?" Lin Ran retracted his thoughts, smiled, and said, "You also said that no matter your family background or appearance, you are not inferior to anyone in the slightest. Why are you starting to feel this way now?
?”
"Because, no matter what happens, there is a large group of people behind you to support you. Even if you stand at the top, you will still respond to everything... The same goes for Shangguan Xingyue. You are all the brightest stars in the world, complementing each other.
."
Qi Fengwan looked at Lin Ran's bright eyes and said softly, "As I walked upward, I became more and more lonely. Behind me, I couldn't see the light of other stars."
Lin Ran believed that this was what he was saying from his heart.
With the way Qi Fengwan behaves, the closer he gets to the end, the less likely he will have any close confidants around him.
She is always alone.
After thinking about it, Lin Ran put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be so sad. At least, I can still fight side by side with you."
"Yeah." Qi Fengwan's eyes were slightly red.
She was sure that she had never had such an intensely emotional moment in her past half-life.
Then, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and there was a clear look of expectation in her eyes. She changed the topic and said, "When can we two renew our relationship?"
Certain things were interrupted by Shangguan Xingyue. It is actually not easy to find that throbbing and desperate feeling again. It requires a perfect opportunity.
"Don't worry, it will probably happen soon." Lin Ran gently patted the girl next to her on the shoulder. "Maybe, next time we meet, things will be smooth sailing."
Qi Fengwan smiled and said, "What water or canal? I always feel that your word is not serious."
Lin Ran "..."
At this time, the pilot's voice sounded, "General Lin, the fighter plane detected abnormal energy fluctuations over the ocean ahead. Should we speed up?"
Lin Ran frowned, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back. "Abnormal energy fluctuations? What does this mean?"
"Not sure. The Falcon fighter is not equipped with equipment to detect specific energy attributes. It may be that a thunderstorm is about to occur," the pilot said.
Lin Ran instinctively felt that it was not that simple. "Has this happened before?"
"I have never encountered such a situation." The pilot replied, and he could not make any judgment at all now.
At this moment, due to the time difference, the sky is about to light up.
Night and day are already forming a clear dividing line on the horizon.
However, what Lin Ran didn't know at this moment was that both the Black Hawk Military Headquarters and the Great Xia Military Headquarters were reacting in the same way!
The monitoring department is busy!
"About 8,000 kilometers above the Nanli Ocean, a large area of unknown energy fluctuations was detected!"
"Is it a thunderstorm generated by cumulonimbus clouds of unprecedented scale?"
"There are no cumulonimbus clouds in that area now. It can be determined that such a large-scale energy fluctuation is not a thunderstorm or lightning! It is completely inconsistent with weather conditions!"
Obviously, the situation at this moment was obviously beyond their previous knowledge and judgment!
"Could it be that some countries launched intercontinental weapons?"
"What kind of weapon can have such a yield? Unless there is a nuclear explosion at the outer edge of the atmosphere!"
"The fluctuation range of energy is still spreading."
At this moment, technical personnel from the military departments of various countries began to discuss, but no results were found in a short period of time.
…………
"This fluctuation seems to be getting stronger and stronger."
Lin Ran had clearly felt that the Falcon fighter's fuselage was obviously unstable while flying, and its wings were swinging violently.
"General Lin, affected by this abnormal energy, our full speed state cannot be activated." the pilot said.
He tried hard to keep the balance of the plane and pressed the button to fly at full speed, but the fighter plane did not respond.
However, the Falcon fighter is currently directly below the energy fluctuation range. The source engine seems to be restrained, and its flying speed is no different from that of an ordinary fighter.
The waves below were also affected by this energy fluctuation, and became obviously more fierce. A wave can rise hundreds of meters high, roaring crazily at the sky!
The performance of this Falcon fighter has always been very stable, and the Yuanli engine has perfectly withstood various high-pressure environment tests, and has never had any problems. What happened today is the first of its kind!
At this time, the call in the cabin was connected, and Shangguan Xingyue's voice sounded, "This is the military headquarters, I want to talk to Lin Ran."
The pilot did not expect that the marshal would actually call him personally. He quickly said, "Yes, marshal! Major General Lin can call you at any time!"
"Lin Ran, various countries have detected abnormal energy fluctuations over the Nanli Ocean. Have you been affected?" Shangguan Xingyue asked.
"It has indeed been a little affected, and the war The plane is no longer able to fly at full speed." Lin Ran said, "I am not far from the Black Sea now, what is going on?"
"Try to find a way to leave that area. If it doesn't work, make an emergency landing on the sea. I will ask the fleet to pick you up." Shangguan Xingyue said, "This abnormal fluctuation of energy is most likely related to the new world."
"Is it related to the New World?" Lin Ran didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the sea below and said, "The waves are so strong now that there is no way to make an emergency landing."
"Miss Qi, if chaos occurs, please lend a helping hand to Lin Ran and become his best comrade." Shangguan Xingyue suddenly turned to Qi Fengwan.
Qi Fengwan nodded and said seriously, "Marshal Xingyue, please rest assured, I am willing to live and die with Lin Ran."
It is almost impossible for the words "to live and die together" to come out of the mouth of Miss Qi, who is very purposeful, but this time, she said it very calmly.
When facing the crisis, Miss Qi also temporarily put aside her little resentment towards the military. Perhaps, this star that has always been lonely, after all, no longer wants to experience the loneliness of the world.
And at this moment, on the horizon, where night and dawn intertwined, a light suddenly lit up.
At this moment, a spectacular gap seemed to be torn open in the sky!
boom!
The whole world suddenly heard a huge and boundless sound of air explosion! It seemed that every cubic meter of air was trembling at the same time!
The pilot yelled "Communications out, instruments out!"
…………
Dozens of kilometers away, the Black Hawk Federation's Southern Ocean Fleet was also in an extreme panic.
The furious waves tossed these steel behemoths up and down, and several times they threatened to overturn these battleships.
There was no one left on the deck, and several crew members who could not escape were thrown into the waves and were instantly swallowed up, never to be seen again.
The fleet commander was standing on the bridge. He said with a serious expression, "Why haven't the squadron in charge of patrol come back yet? Contact them quickly!"
The lieutenant colonel on the side turned pale and shouted, "General, all the fighters in the cruise squadron have been disintegrated in the air!"
"What? All disintegrated?"
Before the extremely shocked fleet commander could say anything else, at this moment, the skyline was quickly torn apart by a ray of light!
And that ray of light seemed to come from outside the sky, as if it was going to split this space in half diagonally!
Almost in the blink of an eye, this light from the sky struck directly on the sea!
The two frigates and a supply ship traveling at the rear of the fleet were just within the scope of this light and were swallowed up in an instant!
