Chapter 12 Special Operations Boy
This was Alan Beyer's first time on guard duty, and he also had extremely high privileges as a platoon leader. The other two veteran platoon leaders, a female lieutenant and a male captain assisted beside him.
They were at the top of the two-story sentry tower. The dazzling searchlights on the nearby Lumen Tower illuminated the dark forest space like stars. The sea of trees that blocked the sky was particularly grand and spectacular at this moment.
To be honest, in his previous life, when he was still in Holy Terra, the feeling of walking through high-rise buildings was not one-third as moving as it is now.
But the grandeur and light brought darkness and fear. Places in the distance where light was not widespread showed a strange and suffocating darkness.
The green forest is as scary as stained with ink, making it difficult for you to see what is inside.
As for the stronghold of human civilization, this outpost is terrible and crude, and the number of facilities is not enough for the entire company of soldiers.
There is only a small communications and control room with a communications link to Karoo City.
An emergency flare launcher in case of Gondwa VI's magnetic field interference, and an arsenal that didn't appear to have been replenished with weapons or ammunition in the past few years.
However, he had noticed that the inventory of demolition explosives there exceeded the necessary amount.
Post No. 3 was so small that the outer walls, barbed wire, defensive barriers, and even the heavy bolter positions that were guarded in turns did not make Alan Bayer feel particularly strong.
At this moment, he stood on the thin battlement on the top of the watchtower and looked around, his telescope not stopping at all.
"Don't be too nervous, kid." A gentle female voice came from behind him. It was the voice of the lieutenant. Alan Beyer turned around and saw that the man in bulletproof armor had been serving for an unknown length of time and had many scars on his body.
Even so, her cheeks are still fair and beautiful. If she were in her home world, she would definitely be the object of a noble's favor. But now she has shaved her hair short, standing on the top of the sentry tower with a gun, and working like a man. .
Alan Bayer didn't like to communicate too much with strangers, but considering the coordination between the platoons, he still put down the telescope, sat against the wall, and answered the officer's words.
"Yes, ma'am."
The female officer shook her head. "From the time I was titheed, I was no longer a lady, but the Emperor's currency."
"But you are my type. Are you interested in having a drink when the patrol is over?"
She winked mischievously. "Let me show you the style of the army~"
Alan Bayer couldn't help but blush after his words, but he quickly stopped because Alan Bayer looked at the veteran sister's biceps and mermaid line. Although it wasn't bad, it didn't feel good either. There.
He wanted to decline politely, but he felt it was hurtful. "I think we can start by dating."
The two lieutenants couldn't help laughing when they heard this answer. Alan Bayer thought that his answer was not good, but the female officer hugged him directly and kissed his cheek affectionately.
"Idiot recruit, as an Imperial Guard, there is no time to waste like dating. Survival is a gift from the Emperor. If you are interested, come directly."
Alan Bayer's innocence was so direct that he blushed. Are all soldiers so direct?
The male lieutenant also snickered. "You, you don't know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings~"
Then he pried open a bottle of unknown light yellow wine or drink, and started drinking.
Alan Bair can only push away the enthusiastic female officers. Will he become a soldier or a slut if he stays in the Astra Militarum for a long time?
And the female officer had met many people, so she could see Alan Bayer's heart and answered directly. "No, I really don't have time. Maybe you will die in a few hours."
"Or maybe it's me, we've seen too much death here."
The topic became heavy, but Alan Beyer still emphasized it. "I will consider dating you." He rubbed his kissed cheek again.
But the officer lady seemed unhappy. "Am I rejected?"
Alan Beyer said. "No, I just think we all survived, pretty lady."
The lieutenant couldn't help but blush. Thinking that this boy could still tease him back, he pushed his shoulder again. "Okay, patrol well and survive, kid."
When the hot and humid wind blew against his cheeks again, Alan Bayer continued to pick up the telescope and look around.
During the following period, he quickly discovered that although these two officers seemed unreliable, they were indeed rich in experience. When he found several special situation reports, they could answer the reasons for the situation just by describing them.
What kind of creature is it? Does it eat humans? Why does it come out?
It makes people wonder if they are locals and are so familiar with this place.
And they often find real troubles without telescopes. When dangerous primitive beasts approach, their beam guns have already killed those things before Alan Bayer makes a sound.
When dinner time came, the lieutenant went to get his dinner, and she walked off the top floor, leaving only the captain and Alan Beyer.
At first Alan Beyer thought it was normal, but soon the captain spoke.
"Do you think she is frivolous?"
Alan Beyer immediately denied it. "No, it's just that she's not my type."
The captain took a sip of his moonshine. "No, no, she really likes you, how should I put it?"
"According to the description, you are quite similar to the lover on her home planet. When I saw you for the first time, I thought I saw myself."
"That's what Lieutenant is like, she's the type who can't get over her "before"."
"I think it's quite romantic, isn't it?"
Alan Bayer kept his mouth shut and did not make any comments, but the telescope moved the lens much faster.
When the lieutenant came up with the food, the two people immediately shut up. The lieutenant still took out the dinner normally and naturally.
"Did you talk about anything?" She distributed things, and specially gave Alan Beyer an extra can.
He was a little overwhelmed because he had never been so popular, maybe because the environment of the Astra Militarum made people become more honest about their hearts.
Alan Beyer took away the food and answered slowly. "Thank you."
Then continue to be vigilant about the surroundings. At this time, everyone is having a meal, and the vigilance is relatively loose. When the pattering sunlight shines on the ground through the canopy of the trees.
The ferns shook suddenly and violently, which startled him.
The figure on the ground emerges from the covering of vegetation, almost as if the flower is unfurling, opening, showing its petals to the sun. It took Alan Beyer several seconds to realize what he was seeing. It's an orc!
