Mecha Journey

"Welcome to the mecha warehouse of our Thirteenth Team."

The airtight door opened, and Yang Mu, wearing a dark green combat uniform, walked out of the passage. Next to him, a boy wearing a white combat uniform holding a holographic helmet raised his head, with short blond hair that reached his ears. He moved, revealing an extremely handsome face.

"We came here to garrison not long ago, and we are still familiar with some things."

Yang Mu guided Yu Wenqiu into the warehouse. At this time, everyone's mechas had also been transported in through the mecha passage. The maintenance team of the 13th team had started working at this time. The entire spacious warehouse was filled with There was a smell of welding, the sound of machines around was making, and sparks flying everywhere.

"Your mecha also needs maintenance these days. You can stay here temporarily and we can chat more. After all, we haven't seen each other in more than two years."

"Yang Mu, I'm still curious as to why you joined the army so quickly and why you are now the captain of a mecha squad."

Yu Wenqiu placed the holographic helmet in the storage box, turned around and said to Yang Mu in surprise. Yang Mu was stunned for a moment, and then answered with a smile.

On the other side, Kunsang, Shirley and others were gathered together at the moment, looking in the direction of Yang Mu and Yu Wenqiu and whispering.

"What's the background of this fellow captain? It seems that we have a good relationship?" Kunsang chewed gum and asked with a puzzled expression. Shirley, who was standing next to him, was looking at Yuwen in the distance with an infatuated expression. Qiu didn't want to take his eyes away from the other person's body for a moment.

"Wow, that man is really handsome. How could there be such a good-looking person?"

Shirley looked at her with a look of infatuation, and Kunsang next to her immediately rolled her eyes. After getting along for less than a day, Kunsang already had a basic understanding of the personality of the girl with big braids in front of him.

He is carefree and does not hide any of his thoughts. Of course, he is obsessed with handsome guys. He used to be attracted to the captain, but after a few hours, he fell in love with another guy. Now he is attracted to the tall guy with blond hair.

"No, I must go and chat with him, I must go." Shirley said to herself, her eyes full of determination.

"Farewell, Miss Lily, given the age gap, I would say it's inappropriate."

"What do you mean, why is it inappropriate?" Shirley asked with some confusion when she heard Kunsang's words to stop her, but Kunsang shrugged.

"Don't even think about it. He is a good friend of our captain, and he looks so young. I guess he is not much different from the captain in age."

"That's great. An innocent little boy or something like that is the most interesting."

"Ah?" Kunsang's jaw suddenly dropped to the ground. He didn't expect Shirley to be so open-minded. But looking at the other party's current state, Kunsang couldn't say anything and could only shake his head helplessly.

Richard, who was standing next to him, also shook his head helplessly at this time, but this time he rarely joined in the chat, and the next moment he opened his mouth to interrupt the conversation between the two.

"I don't think we can just focus on this. Do you think the captain is different?"

"It's different, why is it different?" Kunsang suddenly asked with some confusion, while Shirley said with a smile with stars in her eyes.

"I know, I know. He's handsome and very stable. He's the perfect example of a male god. He just doesn't know if he's gentle or not towards girls."

Richard suddenly looked embarrassed, gave the other party a slight blow, and slowly explained: "During today's operation, don't you think the captain has always been calm?"

"And...he has never had that kind of stress reaction." Richard said in a hazy tone. Shirley, who was standing next to him, was a little confused, but at this time, Kunsang understood Richard's words. Meaning, he immediately looked at the other person and said.

"You're saying that the captain didn't have any resistance or overreaction to killing humans?"

"Well, and it's not this time. I've felt this way since the last time I was at Xingqing Four Stars."

"Ahhh? What are you talking about?"

Shirley looked over with interest at this time, urging Richard to continue.

Richard picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip, while looking at Yang Mu from a distance.

"As far as I know, Yang Mu is only nineteen years old now. After graduating from the military academy, he immediately came to the army. Therefore, although he may have started accepting opportunities a long time ago, I’ve trained in combat, but I’ve definitely never been on the battlefield.”

"Why not? Didn't he lead us to a great victory on Xingqing Four Stars? He himself killed countless creatures."

"This is different. Beasts are beasts after all, and humans are humans after all. When fighting to the death, the feeling is different."

"Think carefully about how you felt the first time you saw a human mecha die in your hands, or when you saw their corpses."

Kunsang and Xueli both recalled their memories immediately. After a moment, both of them had embarrassed looks on their faces, but Richard glanced at them and continued.

"Anyone who has not experienced the baptism of blood and is still a new soldier will inevitably have a stress reaction when facing these things. It is just a matter of degree."

"But think about it carefully, from the first time we saw Yang Mu fighting with a mecha at the training ground, to later resisting the beast tide, killing the leader creature... and what Yang Mu said... he killed the eroded Liu Wei..." Richard's voice gradually became a little lower, but after a moment he became firm again, and at the same time there was a twinkle in his eyes.

"A student who had just graduated from the military academy not only did not lose his position in the first battle, he was able to rush forward immediately. In such a short period of time, he was not afraid and killed a four-legged tiger. super creature."

"And later, he even found a way to crack the fourth-level creatures for us in a short period of time. Even if you are a military cadet, you can perform so well in a short period of time?"

"If someone is not outstanding, how can he join our first-class mecha regiment?" Kunsang retorted.

Richard obviously disagreed with this view and shook his head.

"This is just one thing. If you think about it carefully, how did the other party quickly grow into someone who is valued by the entire group in more than a month? Think about the last battle. The captain was After that, Liu Wei... was confused for a long time, but what about Yang Mu?"

"He didn't. I couldn't even see any sad expression on his face." Richard said this, looked directly at Kunsang, and continued.

"And today's battle, he was the same, without any panic."

"Even if he has learned these things in school in the past, in today's military academies, do you expect them to let them participate in life-and-death missions when they are cultivating talents? Will they let them sacrifice like this in vain? ?So he can’t have done any dangerous missions, at least before coming here.”

As Richard said this, the expression on his face became more solemn. Shirley didn't know what happened before and was still looking at the two people in confusion. At this time, Kunsang's face became stiff. .

"So you mean, Yang Mu has a problem?"

"I don't know if there is a problem, but I can feel that the extraordinary calmness and decisiveness he showed in these battles will never be matched by me." But I didn't expect Richard to change the subject at this time, But he said it with some emotion.

"On the first day he came here, he said something to me. He said, I have seen too many dead people. Don't define me like this just because of my age." Chad said this, but Kunsang realized something and immediately spoke.

"That's not right. He said it himself. He has seen dead people a long time ago. All this is just your imagination." After saying this, Kunsang stepped forward and patted the other party on the shoulder.

"Richard, take a good rest. Seeing a psychiatrist more often will help you if you have time."

In Kunsang's eyes now, Richard's logically contradictory words can only mean that there is something wrong in his heart.

But Richard turned his head at this moment, stared at Kunsang, and spoke.

"Kunsang, don't you understand what I mean?"

"I'm not denying him, nor have I thought about denying him. I'm just telling you a fact in advance." Richard glanced at Shirley who was standing next to him, and Yunlong who was sitting on a chair in the distance and teasing his pet. Finally, he focused his attention on the back of Yang Mu who was introducing something under the mecha in the distance.

"This person is either a madman or an unparalleled genius. He may have experienced something, and he is definitely a good soldier."

"But these things all show one thing, that is, as long as we obey his command, we may be able to survive until we change defenses in the most dangerous Sonai star field!"

"We can't look at him based on his qualifications, because he is like an anomaly."

Richard said loudly, and Kunsang and others standing nearby suddenly realized that it turned out that more than half of the fate of himself and others here was actually in the hands of that young man.

The three of them all looked in Yang Mu's direction and fell into silence.
