Admiral Tan Yan's second secretary's marriage leave lasted two months.

Two months later, he returned to work in a spirited spirit, and Wu Qiao finally ended his "part-time job."

On the day Wu Qiao left, Tan Yan was inexplicably unwilling to give up.

I won’t see it anymore...?

He stared at Wu Qiao's face, as if he wanted to keep every detail in his eyes, and he himself couldn't figure out why.

The news of the second secretary's return can be said to be just right.

Wu Qiao just quit talking about the matter there, when he heard that everyone would go to the field for training. The field training is completely enclosed, and it is impossible to return to the military during this period. The field training of students is to increase practical experience and hone their strategic and strategic qualities in the natural environment.

The training mainly adopts the form of battle.

Ten students are divided into two teams, and both sides of the battle will have three duels within six days, winning more than two times.

Wu Qiao is the captain of one of the teams. He got the first choice when drawing lots, and he can choose his players first.

"The first..." Wu Qiao glanced at the remaining eight students, took a breath, and asked very clearly, "Who wants to join me?"

"..." Everyone looked at Wu Qiao.

"Of course," Wu Qiao said again, "I want to win on my side. If you believe me, let me know. However, I hope you have the same confidence that you will win. I hate even the slightest suspicion in the team. "

In Wu Qiao's view, those who can enter this course are of very high level, and the gap is not particularly obvious. In this case, what can determine the outcome is often psychological. The team with the psychological advantage can win the final victory. Wu Qiao doesn't want to select people who don't trust him into the camp.

"Interesting." Layla smiled, "Me."

"Okay." Wu Qiao nodded.

Layla is very strong and ranked third last month. She intends to win, and Wu Qiao is the best partner.

When it was the opposing team leader's turn, he chose to pick someone on his own-the selected person ranked fourth last month.

The right to choose is back in Wu Qiao's hands, and Wu Qiao still asks who wants to join.

This time, the one who joined the Wu Qiao team is a very weak, named Helena, and has almost always competed with Sheng Zhongguang for the last place. She stood up because she wanted to take advantage of Wu Qiao Leila's light.

The opposing team leader is picking someone on his own. He thought Wu Qiao was a bit silly, so he lost the initiative.

In the next round, it was Akash, only slightly better than Sheng Chongguang and Helena. What he thought was that he was not strong enough, and it would be too embarrassing to be kicked and kicked in the end.

In the last round, Wu Qiao still asked that question, but this time no one said anything.

One person ranked middle and lower, and I didn't want to go to Wuqiao, because although Wuqiao Leila was very strong, the other two were really too weak.

And Sheng Zhongguang did not say anything.

Wu Qiao guessed that he was thinking that he was always the last one and didn't want to drag his friends, so he stayed there without saying a word.

Wu Qiao sighed, "Is there no one? I'm sorry, I'll choose—Sheng Zhongguang, come here."

"...Hey?" It was the first time that someone took the initiative to point him out. In the past, Sheng Zhongguang was always left in the military academy.

"Yeah." Wu Qiao said, "come to my side."

What Wu Qiao had in mind was that his friend needed some encouragement. Sheng Zhongguang is actually quite skilled, but he is always afraid of losing the battle. Wu Qiao believes that he can inspire more potentials of his friends and let Sheng Zhongguang understand that he can actually do a lot of things and is an indispensable part of the team. If he even denied him, he would not have the courage to win the battle. Secondly, Wu Qiao wanted to take the last three people to convince the other party, so as to save the other party from taking the priority to say something. Wu Qiao hates the feeling of incomplete wins. As for losing... he never thought of this word.

"That," Sheng Zhongguang said to Wu Qiao after the team was divided, "you...you shouldn't choose me...this kind of team versus team, I'm really not good at it. I am more suitable for mecha cross-country competitions. …"

"...Sheng Zhongguang." Wu Qiao looked at him and said, "Then let this be your turning point."

"..."

"Do you know the Battle of Alamein?"

"...?" Sheng Zhongguang said, "I don't know..."

"Yeah." Wu Qiao explained, "When humans were still on the earth, the first time they made a ball was in the Gregorian calendar 1914, and the second time they made a ball was from 1939 to 1945."

"Study in this class."

"The Battle of Alamein was a battle during World War II. General Montgomery won the almost invincible General Rommel at the time when no one was optimistic."

"and then?"

"After the victory, British Prime Minister Churchill once commented: Before the Battle of Alamein, we had never won a battle; but after the Battle of Alamein, we were invincible."

"..."

"I will give you these words."

"...Wu Qiao." Sheng Zhongguang lowered his head and said, "After being admitted to the military academy for so many years, you are still the only one who doesn't look down on me very much."

Wu Qiao patted him: "At least the military school teachers are willing to recommend you."

"No." Sheng Zhongguang whispered, "He is a good old man, he recommended all the applicants..."

"In short, try not to be so scared, use strength to protect yourself, instead of always shrinking."

"...It seems a little bit difficult."

"Come slowly." Wu Qiao didn't know what to say.

After the teams are divided, the two teams enter the jungle respectively, and each of them has an E-class mech.

Then, the two teams were deployed separately.

The opponent's strength is dominant, and it really preempts.

Anticipating this, Wu Qiao was already prepared to deal with tactics—that is, interspersed with encirclement and annihilation.

In the opposing five-man team, the weakest is the one selected last.

Therefore, Wu Qiao and Layla used this as a breakthrough to quickly penetrate behind their opponents. Interspersed to separate the five opponents who were originally the whole, Wu Qiao dragged the part with only two people, and then commanded the other people to swarm up, and attacked the three parts with more fights and less, and finally succeeded in the first game. The victory of the battle.

After getting a point, Wu Qiao and the others went back and continued to deploy, preparing for a blitz in the second competition a few days later.

However, after only two or three hours of rehearsal, they discovered that the birds and beasts in the jungle suddenly began to flee in panic.

"What are those people going to do..." Helena frowned, "Seeing to scare the animals."

Wu Qiao didn't speak, but just motioned everyone to stop.

He felt—the pulse of the jungle was a bit wrong.

The air seemed to become sticky, and Wu Qiao had a very vague premonition.

Before he could think carefully, there was a huge tremor in the ground under his feet, and a behemoth leaped in front of him. All the trees shook, the scorching jungle seemed to be shaking, and the flying dust scattered everywhere, Wu Qiao couldn't even see the appearance of the thing.

Then, Wu Qiao only heard a "bang" sound, and the mecha flew out and landed on the ground with a "bang" sound.

"..." There was blood in front of him, Wu Qiao wiped his eyes, trying hard to stand up again.

At the same time, he also saw the enemy in front of him clearly.

Wu Qiao's pupils suddenly shrank.

—Because that is not a classmate at all, but a huge mutant insect.

The mutant insect is about three people tall, and every hair on its body is clearly visible. A pair of huge compound eyes are completely deep black, shining green light under the reflection of sunlight.

"..."

This is something that the terrorist organization "Dragon Wings" has used in previous terrorist activities!

But why is it here? !

Xianglong Wings has always been frantic. A lot of research on this kind of biological weapons has been done, completely ignoring the interstellar "Biological Weapons Convention". The empire has made several crusades but the effect has been minimal, because the other party has no fixed base.

It's ugly... Wu Qiao thought, then looked at the insect again.

I don't know what the psychology is. I can't help but feel disgusted once when I see it, but I can't help but want to look at it again, and then I'll be disgusted again.

Wu Qiao shook his head, turned on the communication system, and immediately contacted his opponent and the military instructor.

The instructor said that they came to support immediately, but it will take ten minutes.

"We are calm," Wu Qiao said. "There is only one insect, about the size of a mecha, but we have five people."

"..."

"There are almost no mechas that can be used in actual combat. Only alloy knives can be used." Wu Qiao continued, "we will use five mechas to encircle and destroy it, and use alloy knives to attack its vitals."

"Where is the point?"

"I guess... the neck?"

After speaking, Wu Qiao rushed forward first, using a variable frequency pace, advancing quickly and slowly, then bounced to the ground and violently took off toward the insects, and at the same time the alloy knife in his hand drew a silver arc.

however-

The power of the mecha is simply not enough to pierce the ordinary alloy knife into the hard shell of the insect. The moment the tip of the knife hits the insect's body surface, it can no longer enter. The blade curls, and the sound of "Karakala" is very harsh. Into the ears of everyone present.

The insects suddenly raised their forefoot, and their sharp claws didn't take the materials of the E-class mecha as the same thing. They cut through the leather and pierced the mecha's chest!

Wu Qiao retreated quickly, and Rao was almost forced to him by the sharp edge.

The insect moves too fast...

After one blow failed, Wu Qiao didn't need to continue at all, he roared wildly: "Go! Immediately!"

"..."

"I hold it, you evacuate!"

"..."

"I order you to evacuate as the captain!"

"..." Except for Sheng Zhongguang, who was too scared, backed up a few steps, all the others did not move.

"Layla! Don't let me say it the fourth time!"

"...Let's go!" Layla said, "We couldn't win it. We must evacuate all of us now! Wu Qiao's technique is the best. It's better for him to escape alone!"

Without waiting for the other four to move, Wu Qiao began to retreat in the opposite direction. At the same time, Wu Qiao opened all optical weapons and soft shells.

Because it is only used for training, the weapon is only a simulation, but even so, the laser scattering effect is still dazzling. Wu Qiao dangled all the light beams at the insect's eyes, and the enraged insects really set the target on Wu Qiao's body.

Wu Qiao continued to stimulate it with a beam of light while retreating.

After a while, Wuqiao Mecha's feet suddenly staggered and knelt down on one knee with a bang.

"...Wu Qiao!" Sheng Zhongguang kept looking at Wu Qiao as he retreated.

Wu Qiao gritted his teeth and continued to scan it with all the beams.

"What's the use of this?!" Layla was also anxious. Those are just simulation effects, not real lasers at all.

Wu Qiao is usually very smart, how can he panic and do useless work when it comes to life and death? !

But this distance is too late to save.

The insect finally tried its best to pounce on Wuqiao.

At the moment of death, Wu Qiao rushed out!

The light and shadow effect disappeared, and everyone suddenly discovered that there was a huge rock behind Wu Qiao just now!

The rock stood majestically, but just now Wu Qiao turned on all the beams, and the laser scattering effect was amazing. The dazzling and strong light source prevented the insects from discovering that there was a stone behind Wu Qiao.

Wu Qiao pretended to fall, half-kneeling there, actually supporting the rock behind him with one foot, so that he could fly out in an instant, so that the insects could not hurt him but could not avoid the rock.

The force of the insect's exhaustion is indeed amazing, but it is not enough to crack mountains and rocks.

Its head and face hit the rock, and among the splashes of blood, the insect wailed.

It struggled to stand up, but in the end it fell weakly, its huge body tossing in a sea of ​​blood, and there was a disgusting breath in the air.

Wu Qiaoqiang endured the pain and planned to leave there, but after a few steps, there was a black face before him, and he fell to the ground with his mecha.

Then, he didn't know anything.

—When I woke up again, Wu Qiao was already in the military hospital.

"Everyone... have they withdrawn?" This was the first sentence Wu Qiao woke up.

"Yes," said Amandine, who came to visit him. "Everyone else is fine."

"Great..." Wu Qiao closed his eyes and asked weakly, "What about the bug?"

"died."

"Who killed it?"

"Admiral."

"...Admiral?" Wu Qiao opened his eyes again, "Admiral Tan Yan?"

"Ok."

"How would he know?" I was the instructor who notified me at the time, and the instructor didn't say that Tan Yan would go.

Amandine hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "Before you were attacked, the largest TV station in the empire was invaded."

"and then?"

"A fake host said that the students in this military training course are very brilliant, and the TV station will temporarily interrupt the students' field training. Then...the TV will broadcast the scenes of your attack. The admiral will be on TV. Seeing that insect, I personally took Long Yuan and drove over."

"..." Wu Qiao clenched his fists, "Did Xianglong Wings do it?"

"It should be correct."

"Do they want all the people of the Empire to see with their own eyes... this year's promising newcomer officers died tragically under the feet of ugly bugs?" Then, they lost confidence in the Empire Army?

"I think, yes. I don't mind speculating on them with the utmost malice."

"Damn..." Wu Qiao asked again, "But, how did Xianglong Wings know the location? Even we only knew it!"

Yes, know the location in the morning, enter the jungle, and be attacked in the afternoon.

"The worst-case scenario is," Amandine said, "in this newcomer... there are people with wings of the dragon."

Wu Qiao took a deep breath.

He thought about all the people again, but he didn't feel like everyone else.

Really... anyone with wings of a dragon?

"The admiral and other officers are dealing with this matter." Armandin said gently and honestly, "The most important thing is that you first concentrate on recovering the injury."

"…Ok."

After lying down for a while, Tan Yan also came.

After seeing Wu Qiao, Tan Yan stretched out his hand, unconsciously trying to touch Wu Qiao's hair.

However, before he met him, he recovered, and abruptly withdrew his hand and pressed it to the seam of his pants.

Before, on TV, when I saw insects digging their feet into Wu Qiao's mecha, the blood in Tan Yan's whole body was cold.

He found it difficult to understand how he felt at that moment.

"...Admiral." Wu Qiao said dumbly.

Tan Yan took a closer look at Wu Qiao, and finally let go of his mind when he saw that he was all right: "It's just a bug, it hurts like this."

"..."

"Soldiers are not as easy as you think. They may die anytime, anywhere."

"…now I know."

In fact, Wu Qiao really didn't expect that in the past. He always felt that death was still far away from him.

"If you really want to enter the military department, you must have this awareness." Tan Yan continued, "You have to think carefully about whether you plan to continue."

"Yeah." Wu Qiao said earnestly, "the answer is "yes". I never thought about the way outside of the army. So, knowing that the future of mining was slim, I decided to go to Mining Star."

"I'm very curious about one thing. If..." Tan Yan pondered his words, "I mean if, if...your sister sent a letter for you, I did not refuse you, you would still choose to be a mining star. Hard work?"

Marriage with the five-star admiral you admire, and pointless mining on the mining star, it seems clear at a glance how to choose...

"Admiral." Wu Qiao replied, "Don't say that it's impossible."

"Ask any questions? Just answer them casually."

"Well, everything is just chatting." Wu Qiao lowered his head, "Even if you didn't refuse me, I will refuse you."

"..."

"Marriage or something... I never thought of anything like that."

"..." Don't know why, Tan Yan is a little unhappy again.

After being silent for a while, Tan Yan stood up: "I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"Thank you for visiting me."

"..." Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao, "You have no blood on your face. What do you want to eat? Or baked scallops with cream?"

"Huh?" Wu Qiao's eyes lit up, "Can you?"

After such a long time, he really feels that his mouth is very pale.

"Yes." Tan Yan nodded, "I...that, let Amandine buy you some."
