"Emergency assembly! Emergency assembly! All personnel must arrive at their respective posts within five minutes. Those who fail to do so will be executed on the spot!"
Russo, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the harsh emergency assembly order. Although Russo was only one of the thirty chefs responsible for providing catering services to the approximately 3,000 soldiers serving on this city-level spaceship.
Although he was not a combatant, he still did not dare to disobey this order.
Since the order says all personnel, then it means all personnel. Even the cleaning staff responsible for sanitation and the staff responsible for maintaining entertainment facilities must arrive at their posts within the specified time.
Russo has long been accustomed to such emergency gathering orders. In the past few decades, since the star of the Flower of Death galaxy was destroyed and the entire alliance began to flee, such emergency gatherings have become more frequent. And urgent
The orders after gathering are generally the same, which is to quickly come to their respective work stations, control their "Eight Star" municipal-level spacecraft, and set off for combat together with the team's flagship "Brilliant" provincial-level spacecraft.
However, some time ago, the provincial spaceship Brilliant was killed by the Shenzhou civilization, so their team's flagship spacecraft was replaced by the provincial spacecraft "Edge".
"Are there any urgent tasks again?" Russo murmured to himself as he quickly put on his clothes and equipment, came to the logistics room, and quickly stood in front of his post. And before him
, several chefs with the same position as him have already arrived here.
The sound of bodies touching the ground kept coming from outside. Russo knew that it was the sound of soldiers running urgently.
"I don't know what mission there is this time. Some time ago, we had received an order because the Shenzhou civilization moved a star and planned to detonate it. So we were asked to hide behind the No. 8 planet battle star.
"?" Russo asked his colleague somewhat strangely.
The spirit of my colleagues is a little sluggish. This is a normal thing. In fact, most of them are not in good spirits right now. Because they received the order to hide and rest the day before yesterday, most of the staff thought that there would be nothing to do in the near future, so they all went out.
They indulged a lot. Of course, even if they indulged, they were not allowed to leave the spaceship. Anyway, there were all kinds of entertainment facilities on the spacecraft. So they had less time to rest, so they were not in good spirits at this time.
.
"I don't know, maybe they are performing some training and transportation or escort missions." My colleague replied listlessly.
This speculation is very reasonable. Since the Shenzhou civilization's attack on the alliance has increased, warships are sometimes used for material transportation tasks between different planets, and some warships are also dispatched to escort ordinary civilian spaceships.
"Maybe." Russo replied, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
As usual, the task arrangement after the emergency gathering was quickly conveyed to each person's mind through the personal communication terminal. At the same time, there was also a punishment message. An unlucky guy was punished for playing the game the day before yesterday.
Too late. He drank too much narcotic drinks and failed to arrive at his post within five minutes. He was executed on the spot by the supervisory team.
In the past, the punishment of this unlucky man would have caused a lot of discussion, but now there is no such thing, because everyone's minds are attracted by that order, including Russo.
"All combatants will adjust their status for twenty minutes. The logistics staff will prepare breakfast within twenty minutes, and start eating twenty minutes later. The meal time will be ten minutes. After ten minutes, follow the Fengmang spacecraft to meet the invasion of the Shenzhou civilization.
fleet."
This order made everyone's hearts skip a beat. Russo wanted to ask back almost as a conditioned reflex: "The star transported by the Shenzhou civilization is about to explode. If you leave the cover of the planet battle star at this time, isn't this going to die?"
"
But Russo did not ask this question. After many years of military career, Russo understood that anyone who questioned the superior's decision would be executed on the spot. However, the fear in his heart spread uncontrollably.
Russo looked at his colleagues, and he found that his colleagues, who had been listless a moment ago, immediately became nervous after hearing this order.
Russo was waiting for the next message from the superior officer, that is, waiting for the superior officer to explain this order. But Russo waited for a long time and did not hear any explanation.
This command is very simple, but also very heavy at the same time.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. On the public communication channel, a soldier couldn't help but asked: "The star is about to explode. If we are asked to go out to perform the mission at this time, wouldn't we be risking death?"
"This kid is in danger." Russo thought to himself, "The supervision team will execute him soon."
Russo couldn't help but feel a little admiration and sympathy for this boy who dared to question Shangguan. At the same time, he was also somewhat grateful to this boy because this boy asked something he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
But unexpectedly, after Russo waited for a long time, the notice about supervising the team's execution of soldiers was never sent out. Instead, unexpectedly, he waited for the superior's explanation.
Shangguan's explanation was also very concise: "First, the Shenzhou civilization took advantage of the loopholes in our defense line and sent a large number of fleets to attack our defense line, so we must send force to drive this force out. The alliance needs us. Second, I will always
Stay on our Eight Star spacecraft to command the battle and be with you."
In the spaceship, a total of more than 3,400 combat personnel, staff, commanders, and logistics personnel fell silent at the same time. Shangguan's explanation was concise but clear, so clear that no one could have any objection.
Yes, the alliance needs us, the people need us, and the leaders need us... At this time, if we are not going to die, who should die? We are fighters, we are soldiers!
In this depressing and solemn atmosphere, all the personnel in the Eight Star spacecraft began pre-war preparations. As one of the thirty logistics chefs, Russo also began intense work. He began to work in an orderly manner.
Put the raw materials into the production equipment one by one, and then take out these things one by one in order and put them into the tableware. The robot will send these things to the canteen outside...
"Maybe I put a little more Rosa." This thought came to Russo's mind after the food was made, but it was already too late, and the food had already been sent outside.
Since twenty level five civilizations formed an alliance, under the strong leadership of the leaders, the civilizations have begun to merge, and various living customs and cultures have begun to penetrate each other, including food. Things like Rosa are in
A kind of seasoning that was introduced during cultural exchanges. Because of its special taste, it was quickly welcomed by the soldiers. Of course, there are certain standards for how much rosa is added to food. If you add too much, it will be harmful to the food.
The taste of food can cause great damage. Mastering the standard requires long-term practice, and Russo has not fully mastered it until now.
The soldiers outside began to eat in an orderly manner. After completing the task, Russo began to rest in the logistics room. Because he did not know how long the battle would last, so every time he went out, logistics personnel must set off with the ship. This time
Apparently so too.
Russo had a premonition that this might be his last expedition.
Originally, Russo thought that he would be very scared at this time, but until it actually happened, Russo found that he was unusually calm, and his fear of death suddenly disappeared without a trace.
As Shangguan said, the alliance needs them, the people need them, and the leaders need them. From the moment Russo stepped onto the "Eight Star" spacecraft, this responsibility fell on his shoulders.
It will accompany him throughout his life until he dies.
Russo has been fulfilling this responsibility for hundreds of years. He witnessed the leader's high-spirited efforts to integrate the five-level civilization alliance. The alliance's strength increased rapidly, its technological strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and then the alliance ushered in the most powerful Shenzhou civilization.
The enemy, he witnessed the destruction of the stars in the Flower of Death galaxy, and then fled with the large army. In the process, Russo experienced countless battles and felt the power brought about by the rapid advancement of alliance technology.
Variety.
This kind of scientific and technological progress has truly affected every participant in the war. Just like the Eight-Star spacecraft, which has become more maneuverable, safer and more powerful. This kind of scientific and technological progress has affected everyone including
Everyone, including Russo, has brought a kind of expectation. Everyone believes that although they are at a disadvantage now, the Shenzhou Civilization will eventually be defeated by them.
"But I can't see that day anymore." Russo thought with emotion.
The spaceship finally set off, with the Eight Star following the provincial spacecraft Fengmang, the Fengmang following the national-class Blue Flag spacecraft, and the Blue Flag following the continental-class spacecraft Morris...
The Eight-Star spacecraft is just an inconspicuous member of this huge fleet, but the final outcome is the same whether it is the Eight-Star spacecraft or the Morris spacecraft.
After hearing Shangguan say "Goodbye boys, I hope we can meet again in hell", Russo knew that the last moment had arrived. Russo knew that the star had been detonated, and death
, right in front of you.
At this time, another thought that had nothing to do with the current situation came to Russo's mind strangely: "It's a pity that Rosa released too much."
