The person who came was a soldier because he was also wearing a uniform.
The military uniforms of the Nuo Xing Empire have a strong John Cowboy style. The combat uniforms are very retro suits with collars and body suits, with short jackets on the upper body and a pair of high combat boots on the lower body. The whole outfit is khaki color.
If this military uniform were worn on Ding Meng, it would definitely be a typical example of neither fish nor fowl, because Ding Meng's body image could not produce that effect at all, but the soldier in front of him is completely different. He is tall, handsome, handsome, and has a smile on his face.
He smiled, which looked a little cynical, but made people feel friendly.
After all, there are only a few people who can make Ding Meng truly smile happily, and Xin Jie is one of them.
The lighting in the restaurant was also khaki, and the two of them looked at each other under the soft light. Ding Meng noticed that Xinjie's uniform was inlaid with a golden cross, and he couldn't help but speak first: "I didn't expect that you have become
Got a flight sergeant.”
Xin Jie smiled and said: "But I would rather go to Listing College and be a free student."
Ding Meng also laughed. He did not ask how Xin Jie knew his identity, nor what his experience was during this period. For people like them, as long as they can see the other person alive and well, that is enough.
.
Of course, there are still some changes, that is, after a few months of not seeing each other, Xin Jie has become more handsome. Even Ding Meng, who has never paid much attention to appearance, has to admit that Xin Jie is now really handsome.
In the center of the light, all the exquisite furnishings in the restaurant became his foil.
"Your shoes are good." Ding Meng suddenly said.
Xin Jie is not wearing combat boots, but a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Even after joining the military, this person seems to still adhere to the principles: the head can be cut off, but the hairstyle cannot be messed up; blood can be shed, but the leather shoes must be oiled
.
So he gave Ding Meng a thumbs up again: "You still have such a unique vision. I apply shoe polish every day, Zebra brand shoe polish."
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter. Ding Meng had not been so happy for a long time. Calculating that he and Xin Jie had not been together for more than a day, whenever he saw Xin Jie, especially when he saw Xin Jie's pride,
, with a smile that is a mixture of confidence, cunning and weirdness, Ding Meng has a sense of intimacy.
The two sat down facing each other, and Xin Jie also fiddled with the menu: "Would you like steak? I'll take it."
Thinking that the two of them met over a steak, now that Xin Jie mentioned the word steak, Ding Meng felt particularly cordial, but he still had some doubts: "Don't tell me that you also participated in this mission?"
"You're really a spoiler of fun. You're just sitting there with good food and you're talking about something serious."
Din Meng had seen this man before. During the space chase with Baynes, it was this officer who finally rescued the two of them - the commander of the cruise fleet.
Xin Jie said: "Major Lei Zhan, commander of the cruise fleet numbered NX3DDT51, is also my commander now. We were rescued all because of him, but this time I took the initiative to ask him to pilot this Songqing exploration ship.
.”
Ding Meng nodded: "It seems that the fleet that sent us here is also the fleet with this number."
Xin Jie switched the screen, and an interstellar map appeared on the dining table. The map was not large, and it showed the star field near the TCP121 nebula.
"Do you have any impression?" Xin Jie asked.
Ding Meng could only shake his head. His memory was good, but pictures like this were everywhere in space. How could he have any impression?
Xin Jie sighed: "It seems that you still know nothing."
Xin Jie switched the map again and continued to ask: "Then you will definitely have an impression of this place."
The map was switched again, this time showing a large brown star. Around it, there were five blazing stars of different colors orbiting around it. The five colors were: azure blue, fiery red, and brown.
Yellow, lavender, milky white.
Not only did Ding Meng have an impression of this place, he was also extremely impressed. The planet where the Black Gold Base is located is located in this weird and terrifying galaxy.
The screen switched again, the galaxy was reduced, and the entire map was enlarged. Starting from the TCP121 nebula, a straight line crossed the space, and the destination was the galaxy where the Black Gold Base was located. A green cursor jumped and flashed on the straight line, and the data showed that it was far away from the destination.
It's already very close.
Xin Jie pointed to the green dot and said, "This is the coordinates of where our spacecraft is now."
"Is this the destination of this mission?" Ding Meng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Xin Jie replied affirmatively, "As a spaceship pilot, I am definitely the first to know the mission destination."
Ding Meng took a deep breath: "But why are you sure I have been to this place?"
Xin Jie sighed: "Do you still remember the Swordfish transport ship of Xingda Company? I later recalled the route. The flight route of the Falcon spaceship chasing us is exactly the same as the route of our current mission.
Yes, it’s just that the direction is different. We are flying back in the opposite direction now. This trajectory has almost not changed at all. The error in coordinates, route, angle, and space will not exceed 0.005%. What does this error rate mean? Don’t you have no idea?
Count?"
Of course, Din Meng knew it well. This error rate meant that the Swordfish spacecraft originally took off from a certain planet in this galaxy. Its probability is more than 99.995%.
Suddenly Ding Meng fell silent. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, regret or be grateful. Anyway, he couldn't describe his mood at the moment.
Fate is so funny sometimes. When he risked his life and tried his best to escape from the Black Gold Base, how many lives did he lose in the process? Although most people did not die because of him, Xiao Si has always made it difficult for him to let go.
, I still have that bracelet with me now, and I didn’t throw it away even when I was very poor.
Now in order to avoid the pursuit of the raiding mercenary group, he has to leave the TT12 planet. God knows that this mission will actually send him back to the black gold base. This bracelet will be sent back to the place where it came from. Does it mean that hope will be taken away again?
Obliterated?
For those who are trying their best to survive, fate is sometimes like an endless net. The more you struggle, the tighter it becomes until you are unable to struggle.
As for the rhetoric such as "man can conquer nature" and "my destiny is up to me, I cannot control it", they are all yelled by those ignorant and fearless boys. If you put him in the black gold base and stay for a year and a half, you will
Do you think he still dares to yell like this?
Xin Jie stared at his uncertain expression and said word by word: "What did you steal from them?"
Ding Meng came to his senses and sighed: "Actually, I didn't steal."
"I can see that." Xin Jie nodded, "You don't have the potential to be a thief."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Xin Jie said meaningfully: "How can you be chased for a long distance after stealing something? Real thieves always come and go without a trace, leaving no trace for their opponents at all."
Ding Meng laughed dumbly: "If you are lucky enough this time, I will definitely ask you for advice on stealing things in the future."
Xin Jie said calmly: "You have always had good luck. Think about it, you were rescued in such a situation last time. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky in the future."
If it weren't for Xin Jie's "God-defying dodge" last time, Ding Meng would have died five times, but he still sighed: "It's just a pity that once this thing is contaminated, you can't get rid of it. That's the difficulty."
Xin Jie remained silent and didn't speak. In fact, he also had a bad feeling. Back then, the enemy drove an airship to pursue him thousands of miles away. Even under the eyes of the imperial fleet, he would ruthlessly kill people. Based on this,
Ding Meng's troubles will not be small.
If the trouble last time came from the Federation, then this time it is from the Empire. Some things are unreasonable if you think about it. This task is paid attention to by military colonels, but the executioners are a group of inexperienced students.
, this means one thing, the thing on Ding Meng's body is really too involved, maybe it is a death vortex, and those who get involved will not have a good end.
Xin Jie suddenly said coldly: "Don't worry, I can't afford to cause you such trouble, but I won't accompany you to die."
His tone was cold and his face was not pretty, but Ding Meng felt a long-lost warmth at this moment.
He didn't know Xin Jie very well, but he understood Xin Jie's behavior.
He unintentionally released the half-dead Xin Jie from the dormant cabin, gave him a plate of steak, and pulled Xin Jie back from the hands of death, but what Xin Jie gave him in return was also in
He had saved his life more than once in a hail of bullets. Now that he saw his name on the mission list, Xin Jie took the initiative to ask Ying to be the pilot for this mission.
There are some people whose innermost feelings cannot be seen from their appearance. Their innermost feelings are often expressed through concrete actions. At least Xin Jie's presence on this ship is enough to explain a lot of things. At the very least, he is paying attention to Ding Meng.
.
Ding Meng sighed with emotion: "I owe you again."
"You don't owe me." Xin Jie waved his hand and said, "I just feel strange, why are you students so brave?"
Ding Meng frowned and said, "Are we still brave enough?"
Xin Jie glanced at him, his eyes full of teasing: "You know almost nothing about this mission, time, location, reason, specific matters and other elements, but you dare to proceed rashly, that Qu Xiaoqing
It's not simple. Could it be that you fell in love with her? That's why you followed her? "
Ding Meng laughed self-deprecatingly: "Do I have the qualifications to like this person?"
Xin Jie also laughed: "So it seems that you have taken advantage of others?"
"It's okay if you want to understand it this way." Ding Meng thought of the ancient sword, "She is my classmate at Listing School, and she is also my client in the martial arts gym. Is the relationship clear enough?"
Xin Jie turned off his wrist device and stood up: "Haha, it's almost time. Come with me to the command cabin. Your classmates may arrive before you."
