Chapter 65 Always Prepare
The charcoal-roasted woodchuck is a specialty of Xinyumen and must be tasted.
Uh, okay, this thing is actually only a few years old. The early immigrants who came to Xinyumen discovered that the gerbils dug out from the endless sea of sand here were huge and delicious. They could be eaten with their heads removed. It is said that the protein is more than six times that of beef. It's great whether it's stewed, but it's even better if it's slathered in spices and grilled.
Yu Lian and his senior sister liked the taste very much. They feasted on it and quickly killed most of them.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the senior sister elegantly twirled a slender lady's cigarette with two fingers while shaking half a glass of beer with one hand. There was a hint of laziness in her eyes.
She was wearing casual clothes today, a slim-fitting breeches shirt and denim jacket, so she no longer needed to look like a senior officer. In other words, this is her usual attitude.
"This is considered a practice for you. I have also prepared the internship certificate issued by the Guard Force Headquarters for you. Needless to say, it is naturally A+."
"Thank you so much." Yu Lian raised his glass in toast.
"You deserve this. While I'm still here, you can still do some serious work." The senior said, "But, Yuri, even with the A+ from the Governor's Office and I, it's only equivalent to two courses." Including your grades in the major courses, your grade point is only less than 3.5. This grade can only be considered above average! But if you did that thing again, the so-called special merit points are probably bad, I think. It’s impossible to get the Tiger Talisman!”
"I never thought about getting the Tiger Talisman!" Especially competing with the monsters of the legendary 830 Party, not to mention that I should be on the school's blacklist.
The so-called Tiger Talisman is actually a finely crafted antique revolver. The handle of the gun is made of ivory, and gold is used to tattoo the tiger-shaped coat of arms on the silver body. It is beautiful but domineering, so it is called the "Tiger Talisman". This object is only awarded to the top five graduates of the Central Defense University, so it is naturally a great honor.
"Wait? How do you know my average?"
"Huh~~~What do you think?"
"...Oh, I forgot that the principal served as chief of staff for your father."
"Oh, my stubborn dad and perverted brother have said that only the Tiger Talisman Group will accept it."
"What do you accept? Accept what?" Yu Lian was confused and said he didn't understand at all.
"Nothing. I don't want to offend Fina now." The senior sister smiled and turned her head, leaving her perfect profile to Yu Lian, and then said: "By the way, you know, right? I am a security guard Commander, it won’t be long.”
"Well, even a governor will not allow someone like you to stay in office. Of course, the commander of the garrison is just a transition for you anyway. There are better positions waiting for you, right?"
< br>
"There are two directions. Transfer back to the mainland and serve as a combat staff officer at the Eastern Cantilever Fleet Headquarters, or serve as the captain of a cruiser; or, stay in the Andromeda Galaxy garrison and command a small guard fleet."
"Of course I'll stay in the governor's mansion." Yu Lian said firmly.
"...Your answer is too quick, isn't it?"
"If I answer the former, you won't accept it, right? Besides, the East Cantilever Fleet is probably the most unbearable among the main fleets of the community. When you work in the staff department, your main focus is probably to deal with office politics. Over there Most of the battleships are more than 30 years old. There is a high probability that the so-called cruiser cannot outrun the pirate ship. With your temper, there is a high probability that you will be pissed to death.”
"I won't be angry to death, but Lieutenant General Harris will most likely be angry to death."
"In short, if you really transfer to the East Cantilever Fleet, you are just dawdling around waiting for promotion. It is not in line with your personality. And here, a guard fleet is probably 2 to 3 assault ships and a destroyer. The strength is meager, but after all, it is an armed force under your independent command." Yu Lian paused, with a hint of a boyish smile. : "Furthermore, this is the Andromeda Galaxy, a new continent, beyond the reach of the mainland, and the garrison and the governor's palace are very irregular. Therefore, it is easier for you to do some irregular operations... For example, if you think your combat power is not enough , it is entirely possible to purchase several Rangers from the Alliance Fu Xun Shipyard in the name of training.”
"Huh? Fu Xun, isn't that the company that builds high-end cruise ships and cargo ships?"
"Yes, the Ranger is a kind of high-speed cruise ship. However, that is just a name for it. In fact, it is a special design with excellent versatility. The ship body is ordinary, but there are many pendants, reserved There is a lot of room for modification. As long as there is a way to get weapons, armor, shields and various communication and detection equipment, it is too easy to modify it into a cruiser. Oh, she only completed the test in the first half of this year, and the alliance military still has its performance. There are a lot of doubts. Fu Xun Shipyard is waiting for orders for new ships. If you place an order at this time, you will definitely get a discount. What’s more, she is a mail ship and does not violate the Andromeda Naval Limitation Treaty.”
Eleanor suppressed her smile, put out the thin cigarette on the plate, and said in a deep voice: "Yuli, where did you get this information?"
"If I say, I happened to see the information and advertisement of this new ship in "Time Ship" last month. Do you believe it?"
"Yuli, I am not Fina. I will believe it unconditionally no matter what you say."
"...Uh, well, I can't say it now, so you can think of me as joking, or you can think of it as the guidance of the spirit of the universe. It depends on whether senior sister trusts me or not."
"Psychics are all mentally ill, so didn't we agree before that we were going to beat up all those stupid idealistic thugs? Unexpectedly, little Yuri, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes were the first to rebel. ." The senior sister curled her lips.
"Maybe the spirit of the universe appreciates me especially. I now understand that three views and spiritual energy are actually two different things."
"You traitor!" Eleanor sighed, and then said: "So, you actually want me to stay here to strengthen the community's defense force in the New World, right?"
It's easy to talk to smart people.
Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Sister, didn't you tell me that? War is possible. I'm not sure when it will be, but it will definitely happen. So we need to be prepared."
"...Yes, those bugs in your report can at least prove that someone is indeed causing trouble behind the scenes. The history of the galaxy really tells me that if someone is causing trouble, it will definitely lead to war. Ha, but ah , but the future of the community cannot rely on the old guys on Earth, but on us young people! This was also the consensus reached in school back then." Yu Lian was curious about what role his own body played in the school. ah? Such a typical person is crazy, and he is a member of the famous 830 community. There is no reason why he should not be famous in future generations!
Sure enough, he died early?
"Yuri, I will find a way to strengthen the combat power of the garrison. And before I am transferred, I will also dig up the ground of this planet! There are so many big bugs, I don't believe it, even if there are a few clues I can’t even stay!” Eleanor said fiercely.
Yu Lian felt less optimistic, but still sincerely wished the senior sister good luck.
Neither of them discussed where the money needed to strengthen the war effort would come from. Yu Lian knew that the senior sister must have a way, after all, this is the New World. Of course, he was also prepared to find an opportunity to tell Eleanor some ways to "make money" without suspicion.
Of course, it doesn't matter if she doubts it. Anyway, apart from being a bit crazy, this sister is trustworthy in all aspects.

The war had only ended for more than a week. Except for the corpses and discarded weapons that were still being "unearthed", the entire New Yumen seemed to have returned to its former peace. Humans continued to whip sand laborers to work on plantations and mines. The sand people dare not speak out when they are angry, but they are always willing to kill one or two lone human immigrants in the dead of night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high. However, there are always earthlings who have lost everything in the Milky Way and flock to this planet, which is mostly sand and rocks, hoping to find a way to survive and generally continue to maintain the balance of the planet.
Tulon Port once again returned to its usual bustle, and the leaders of the sand people who fled back to their respective territories were licking their wounds and shivering. There was no human trace in the vast Tulon Sand Sea for quite a long time.
Noise and loneliness once again formed opposing yet harmonious rhythms on this planet.
Under a rock far away from Tulon, two people were whispering in the blazing wind.
"The same routine as always, the same numbness as always, the same tranquility as always... Annoying tranquility. Oh my, I can't believe that the only interesting person on this planet can't escape this time. Didn't Miss Fortune Teller say that? However, Katz is destined to do something great that will go down in history. Her predictions are not always correct!
"She is never right every time, and we never act based on her predictions. Besides, whether the indigenous people of this planet can take over their homeland, and whether the rule of the people on Earth can continue, it doesn't matter much to us. relationship. In comparison, does the insect swarm’s combat power meet expectations?”
"It's better than we imagined. It's not afraid of death, and its execution ability is better than all the most elite troops in history. Of course, the combat power of individual insects is still a bit weak, and the types are relatively rare, so they can continue Adjustment. However, the lord bugs who are the grassroots commanders lack flexibility."
"Still pursuing. 'Midnet' and 'Hunter' have already led the team in person and will bring her back soon."
"I hope. She is the future, His Highness's treasure!"
"You will find it, you will definitely find it. However, there is something unusual about the two newly awakened people."
"They are two very energetic newcomers. They have caused us to lose a lot of individuals, but they have also allowed us to collect a lot of information. The rest need to continue to be observed."
Their words brewed with gloomy plans and condescending banter. The future of Tulon, the rule of the community, and the fate of the sand people were like ants biting on the stage.
This has always been the case.
"Okay, I'll take the first step. You know what to do." One of them stood up and swaggered into the sandstorm that blocked the sky and the sun, and then there was no trace again.
The other person sighed and walked into the cave behind him.
The inside of the cave, which can barely accommodate one person, is actually a huge underground space. The insects were densely distributed on the ground and on the mountain walls. At first glance, there were at least a million of them, like a huge termite nest.
Ordinary people would probably be frightened out of their wits just by witnessing this scene, and their sanity would be exhausted.
They lurk in the shadows underground, almost motionless. If it weren't for the occasional subconscious twitching of their tentacles, it would be difficult to even think of them as animals.
A swarm of millions of insects makes less noise than a woodchuck gnawing at the roots of a tree.
"How pitiful, my little darlings..." He sighed again, very sadly, as if he had thrown the meal he had prepared by himself into the trash can. However, that's all.
He raised his hand.
The blue flames ignited from nowhere, swallowing up large swarms of insects like a wild beast with fangs and claws. The giant flame beast seemed to have swallowed countless accelerants, becoming even more crazy and violent. However, what is surprising is that in such a high temperature, the cave wall should appear abnormal, but now there is no change, as if it is a texture background in another dimension.
In just one minute, the blue flames brought the entire underground space into its raging range, and then continued to burn for another ten minutes before slowly dissipating.
The cave is still the same cave, but the millions of bugs inside have been completely burned, not even a single cell is left.
And the person who set the fire had naturally disappeared as the flames dissipated, leaving no trace behind.
Today is a happy update, hahahaha
