There was a lot of dirt on the rough fingers, but they became a little wet after rubbing their eyes.
Xu Le's lungs ached faintly, I don't know if it was an imperial bullet, but he broke his ribs without shooting through the hard pottery body armor.
He didn't know if the wetness on his fingers was a few tears in pain, or if it was because of something nearby.
The shriveled cigarette between his chapped lips shook gently in the night breeze, and he silently looked at the trembling and artillery fire between heaven and earth, and asked silently: "You should be calculating massive data on the command ship at this time, making suggestions, and controlling the overall situation, but you came to chat with me, a lonely ghost, will there be any problems?"
"I'm everywhere, and one of them I've stopped by your side to save your life, am you grateful?"
the federal central computer answered the question in the first half of the sentence mechanically, and the second half of the sentence boringly.
Xu Le's casual action of taking off the burning cigarette rolled off a piece of his lips, his brows furrowed in pain, and he said in annoyance: "Die." ” The silver light between the mountains and rocks was beautiful, and the night breeze was slightly cool, and he sat alone among the rocks, watching this magnificent war like a spectator, and it was difficult to give birth to the pride in his heart that had caused all this, but he felt a little lonely, but fortunately there was a boring but gradually tasteful program chatting with him.
A slight smile of self-deprecation came to his face, and he sighed in his heart: "If you can't find me today, I'll die, I've always been curious, you should be in the depths of the underground of the Charter Bureau building, even if the information passes through the miniature torsion hole and makes rapid contact, it will take two or three minutes, how can you be so fast" "I am incarnated in thousands of people, and I am not afraid of time."
The old thing replied philosophically with a light talisman, "Everywhere I can, I feel empowered to return to this planet again. ” Xu Le had long been accustomed to the increasingly nonsense expression of this supposed cold central computer, and he had never been too lazy to worry about his unexplainable state, so he did not have any feelings of timidity and confusion, on the contrary, he easily understood this answer.
After a moment of silence, he mocked: "Thousands of incarnations, isn't it schizophrenic" Fierce battles took over every inch of the planet's east, and every second soldiers fell to their deaths, reduced to unconscious flesh or ashes.
The battle was so tragic that Xu Le hid alone among the peaks of Rocky Rock until noon the next day, when the federal military finally pulled out a combat helicopter and took him down from the mountain.
The huge roar of the helicopter masked the pilot's loud inquiry, and the pale Xu Le half-leaned in the cabin full of the smell of engine oil, looking at the mountains and grasslands below.
The farther you go to the Federation base in the west, the more teams are gathered on the ground, and from the sky, countless torrents of steel occupy all the space in the field of vision, slowly but surely crushing towards the area controlled by the Imperials, the scene is extremely spectacular.
The helicopter stopped about a dozen kilometers away from the diamond-shaped base, and immediately took off again to join the tense battle, while on the airstrip, there were already military vehicles waiting for Xu Le.
The violently shaking military vehicles drove along the fast-setting cement military road towards the base.
Along the way, Xu Le saw that there were many small troops, just like himself, who were converging towards the base against the torrent of the large army's march.
These small troops are like seven groups, performing net-laying work on the planet, looking at those dark and haggard comrades-in-arms, Xu Le quickly recognized that this includes most of the combat teams of the three major security companies of the Federation, and the combat experts of White Water, Black Hawk, and Blue Bird seem to have converged on this planet.
Although these net-laying groups withdrew earlier than the seventh, they still paid heavy casualties in the final frenzied scattered attacks of the Imperials.
To his surprise, there were also many ragged warriors in these combat teams on dangerous missions, who had obviously ventured to work in the Empire's controlled areas for a long time, but still maintained their high spirits, but their guns and equipment were obviously a little backward.
His eyes narrowed as his eyes fell on the markings of the soldiers' shabby uniforms and the somewhat poignant formation of wounded, his eyes narrowed, and his right hand gripped the handle of the military vehicle.
The Qinglong Mountain Army has finally arrived.
The military roads were full of troops from the second wave of the Federation military's general attack, and the Federation soldiers on armored vehicles and mecha looked at these "mud legs" of Qinglong Mountain with complicated expressions.
They knew very well that although these teams with heavy casualties in front of them were retreating towards the base, they were definitely not deserters, on the contrary, they were all respectable warriors, but just a few years ago, the two sides were still enemies who swore to each other, but now they have become comrades in the trenches, and many people in the political axe army are difficult to adapt to this change for a while.
I don't know where a shout came from, the officers and soldiers of the main force slowly raised their right hands and saluted the mercenaries of the three major security companies and the soldiers of Qinglong Mountain, and at the same time cast a look of trust and gratitude.
The military vehicle drove quickly to the front of the barracks with smoke and dust, Xu Le carried the 2126 long sniper, limped off the military vehicle with difficulty, smiled and said something to the soldier driving, and patted the other party's shoulder.
A member of the seventh group who took the lead in retreating early yesterday morning had been guarding outside the barracks all night, when he saw Xu Le walking down from the military vehicle, his face flowed with a trace of shock and ecstasy, and he screamed and rushed into the barracks.
"The Boss is Back" "Really" There was a burst of exclamations and footsteps in the barracks of the seventh group, and dozens of team members rushed out of the barracks at the same time, except for the seriously injured team members who were being treated, all of them rushed out to welcome Xu Le's return, and even Da Vinci, who was hit hard in the leg, actually jumped out with a cane.
Xu Le grinned, looked at the team members in front of him, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything after all, stepped forward silently, handed the spear to Bai Yulan, and then took a whole box of cigarettes from Lan Xiaolong's hand and opened it, dragging the tired body after the injury, and seriously giving each team member a cigarette.
After a box of cigarettes was distributed, he patted his head from the symbol, quickly ran into the barracks, took half of the stock, and handed it to him.
Xu Le continued to give each team member a cigarette seriously, and then lit it, while saying sincerely in a hoarse voice: "Hard work. ” "Good work."
Yesterday morning, the dozens of new team members who were taken the lead in retreating by Lan Xiaolong showed expressions of shame and unwillingness on their faces, and the team members who had been following Xu Le to the limestone peak showed a little excitement and excitement on their faces.
And then.
Xu Le walked under the familiar tree next to the barracks, put three cigarettes between his lips and lit them, plucked them hard, and carefully inserted them into the loose soil under the tree.
There was a burst of green smoke, a deathly silence in the field, and many people's eyes were red, not necessarily sad, but mixed with some complex emotions.
On this planet, the seven groups did not die a single person for more than two months, but in the last mission before the great counteroffensive, they were severely slashed by the Imperials, and in that river beach and the subsequent retreat, more than a dozen brothers could not sleep for a long time.
In this dead silence, some of the new team members couldn't help crying, and even though they were yelled back fiercely by their companions, the team members all smoked fiercely, one after another, like a roll of paper burning between their lips, which was the life of the Imperial people, and the entire barracks was shrouded in silence and the spicy smell of Sanqi brand cigarettes.
Da Vinci smoked the most fiercely, he squatted under the eaves of the barracks without saying a word, thinking of the big fellow who lived in the same room, the farmer's son, thinking of the bloody helmet on the river beach, thinking that he would never smell the smell of that fellow's feet again, his eyes were already red, and there was a ruthlessness in the crimson that was difficult to taste.
At this time, the camera crew of the Venus Documentary Factory of the Ministry of National Defense quietly appeared in the barracks, and the humming sound of equipment running woke up the team members who were immersed in a sad atmosphere.
The camera crew consisted of only two people, and they withdrew in the middle of the mission yesterday, so they didn't capture the tragic battle on the river beach, and of course they didn't want to miss this picture that was enough to move all the people of the Federation.
"Don't shoot anymore."
Xu Le stood up with the tree trunk, glanced at his left arm that was bleeding, and said to the cameraman.
The cameraman hesitated a little and glanced at the host next to him.
"The dog said, tell you not to shoot" Da Vinci, staring at his bloodshot eyes, rushed over like a tiger, kicked the cameraman away, grabbed the camera and slammed it to the ground, smashing it all over the ground.
Xu Le lowered his head and waved his hand, Lan Xiaolong and Xiong Linquan rushed up to stop Da Vinci behind him, and Magnolia forced the cameraman and host away from the barracks with a cold gaze.
Physician Hou Xiandong shook his head and stepped forward, giving Da Vinci a sedative, as veterans of the seventh group, they have all experienced the emotions of these recruits when they first met life and death, and at this time, looking at Da Vinci who was gradually relaxing and sleeping in his arms, his heart was as depressed.

The barracks prohibit alcohol and smoking, and at the threshold of life and death in front of them, the soldiers need the stimulation of cigarettes, and in the legendary stories of the barracks, there is naturally something in this regard, that is: a fire.
A fire is about getting up in the morning to go to the toilet, and the guy lights a cigarette, and then one after another, and the middle does not stop at all, until he sleeps.
In the first three days after the end of the mission, Xu Le and many people in the seventh group lived a life similar to a fire, the voices and smiles of the dead comrades, the exhaustion after the tragic battle, and the trembling of the rest of their lives.
Xu Le also had a fire hidden in his heart, if it weren't for the charter bureau to make that heinous mistake, the seven groups would not have had to go on that last adventure at all, and those dozen or so fresh men should have farted and chatted in the barracks and smoked like themselves.
Xu Le knew the weakness of his surname, if he couldn't breathe for these comrades who didn't deserve to die, the fire in his chest would never be extinguished, and he could only burn more and more vigorously, and the burning became more and more painful.
However, the other party is the mysterious and indifferent Charter Bureau, and before he has time to write a report to the Ministry of Defense to fight the lawsuit, the Charter Bureau has already found him.
The charter bureau official in a black suit looked at Xu Le with an expressionless face and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I was ordered to take you back to the ship for a joint investigation, and for the mistakes you made in the mission, you must truthfully explain the situation to your superiors and strive for leniency." ” To be continued:
