Tales of Soldier - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23]

When Tang Long saw that the battleship passed through the wreckage without damage, he couldn’t help but exclaimed excitedly. At the same time, Tang Long violently twisted the remote control lever, and at the same time quickly stepped on several speed control pads under his feet. I saw that the jet port on the head of the battleship used to slow down and reverse suddenly spurted flames. The main jet port at the back of the battleship also stopped at this juncture, and the jet port on the left used to turn right spurted flames at the same time. At this moment, the battleship made a 180-degree turn and aimed its head at the gap it had just passed through.

When the battleship turned around, Tang Long slammed his fist on a button on the bridge and shouted at the same time: “Go to hell!” With the sound, the four secondary guns up and down, left and right, immediately and continuously aimed at the one. The gap emits a laser. Moreover, when the battleship fired the laser cannon, the several jet ports on the head continued to spray flames, causing Tang Long, the battleship, to retreat while firing the cannon.

The two hundred self-propelled gunboats that had already surpassed the limit of the power furnace to pursue, when they saw Tang Long get into the crevice of the wreckage, the driver started to avoid it without waiting for the commander’s order. But the most urgent self-propelled gunship, due to its speed, could only collide with the huge wreckage to avoid it.

When he saw that the helmet was about to pass through the gap intact, the pilot couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, but at this moment of breathing, countless rays of light hit his face, and the alarm sounded in the battleship. stand up. Originally, the protective cover that the energy of this battleship remained at 100% white, even if it was hit by the secondary artillery laser emitted by this self-propelled gunship, it would not cause any damage at all.

But this driver is a newcomer. Seeing this terrifying scene, he reflexively held the remote control lever to dodge. So the battleship, which was running at high speed, immediately slammed into the huge wreckage. Since the warship hits the wall only after it gets into the gap, the protective cover that requires a certain buffering distance to function is useless. part of the dead zone.

Tang Long, who had retreated beyond the effective damage distance of the explosion, glanced at the positions of the other battleships displayed on the screen from the corner of his eyes, and immediately closed the retreating jets. As soon as his foot stepped on the forward pedal, the jets at the rear emitted flames again. The battleship swishes and quickly passed under the huge wreckage that spread heat energy due to the explosion of the battleship.

Because of the high speed, it was very easy to bypass the wrecked battleship group, and only then did I realize that I had lost a battleship. Just when he was about to attack Tang Long’s location, he found that Tang Long suddenly disappeared. The captain and radar officer were not fools either. They immediately understood that Tang Long used the heat generated by the explosion of the battleship to make the radar jump and fled the moment the screen jumped.

The captains ordered a U-turn and pursued without thinking, because there was no trace of Tang Long in front of him, so Tang Long had to hide behind. Although the captains’ orders were implemented, the speed of the battleship was too fast, and it turned around after a big turn. The captain who originally wanted to order to slow down just now saw that the battleship had turned his head, and immediately changed his mind, shouting to speed up!

When these battleships caught up again, Tang Long had already found a space with a lot of wreckage, and played hide-and-seek with these battleships. Although the speed of those warships was too fast at first, not only could they not catch Tang Long, but they accidentally crashed several ships, but when their speed slowed down, Tang Long began to have bad luck.

“Damn! It’s blocked!” Tang Long saw the four battleships in front of him rushing towards him murderously, and immediately sank at full speed. Unfortunately, the other party didn’t want to capture Tang Long alive. Seeing that Tang Long was in front of him, how could he let it go? ?

When the captains of the four warships saw Tang Long, they immediately gritted their teeth and shouted: “Shoot! Shoot! Sink him!” The lasers of the 16 secondary guns poured onto the Tang Long ship without a pause. body.

The battleship swayed violently immediately, and the non-stop whining siren was accompanied by the laser light covering the screen. Liu Sihao and his subordinates, who were imprisoned on the chairs by the seat belts, although their hearts had been beating violently since just now, but This scene made their hearts almost pop out of their throats.

At this time, the automatic alarm system began to make a chilling sound: “Alarm! The energy of the protective cover has dropped to 19%, 18%… Dangerous! The four ships in front of us began to condense the energy of the main guns. The target ship is dangerous, please dodge as soon as possible. !” The person who heard this immediately looked at the image displayed on the screen.

The four self-propelled gunboats that were attacking saw the dark main gun muzzles on their heads begin to glow, and the idiots knew that they were about to fire their main guns!

The female soldiers on the ship had long since gritted their teeth and closed their eyes. Seeing the trembling of their eyebrows and eyelashes, they knew how they felt when they heard the news. And Liu Sihao was pinching his own thigh, his lips were slightly open, and his eyes were dull as he stared at the brighter and brighter light, and now he didn’t even know what he was thinking. He is not in the mood to watch the expressions of other comrades in arms now, but he believes that even if he doesn’t look, he will know that their expressions are the same as his own.

In the cabin, which was dead silent, a voice suddenly came out that made everyone regain a little consciousness: “Damn! It’s finally here! It’s not worth my life to wait here.” Tang Long saw the helmet screen showing the back, front, and top of the surrounding area. of more than a hundred warships, said with a grin. Of course, this expression is invisible to everyone. If Liu Sihao and the others saw it, they might consider handing over Tang Long to surrender, right?

At this time, on the four battleships that stopped Tang Long first, the captains all showed grim smiles, slammed their raised hands down, and shouted at the same time: “The main gun is fired!”

And the warships surrounding in the distance of course knew what the four warships wanted to do. The captains all shouted: “How much energy is the main gun?” After being picked up, they invariably ordered: “No matter how many, shoot me!” If they thought about it, as long as their battleships had a share in destroying Tang Long, they could at least share a little credit.

Under the attack of hundreds of secondary guns, the Tang Long ship will not sink for the time being, but the energy of the protective cover has dropped to 7%. Instantly turned into cosmic dust.

Tang Long looked at the countdown that appeared out of the corner of his eyes, then glanced at the target he found when he entered this wreckage area and hid in the east, and couldn’t help showing a sneer.

When he saw that the countdown had reached zero, he immediately pressed the joystick hard and shouted at the same time, “2G!”

At the same time, hundreds of laser beams of varying brightness shot out from the main gun muzzles of hundreds of warships, accurately shooting towards the location of the Tanglong warship. However, before the laser left the muzzle, Tang Long’s warship was already flying down, and at the moment when Tang Long’s warship sank for a moment, Tang Long gritted his teeth and suffered the sudden pressure, tightly pressing the control lever hands immediately raised.

In this way, Tang Long’s action of sinking first and then flying upward at a speed of 2G not only avoided the laser beams of the main guns, but also ran out of the encirclement.

When the captains of those battleships saw the flesh in their mouths and flew away again, they jumped in anger and scolded their mother’s order: “Accelerate the pursuit!” When these battleships were about to chase after Tang Long, the radar officer was shocked. shouted: “Sir, Tang Long is about to fire the main gun!”

“What?!” The captain stared in surprise at Tang Long, who ran out of the distance using 2G speed and suddenly turned around, the main gun muzzle emitting light. These captains, without hesitation, immediately ordered the defense cover to be fully opened to hide!

Although they didn’t know which of the more than 100 warships Tang Long was targeting, it was the best choice to ensure their own safety anyway. So these warships not only did not advance and pursue, but began to retreat and move left and right.

Seeing their actions, Tang Long couldn’t help but smile: “Idiot! My target is not you!” Speaking of this, he suddenly pressed the main gun firing button. As soon as the main gun was fired, Tang Long immediately drove the battleship to turn around and ran, but the speed was obviously slowed down. Seeing this speed, Tang Long could only smile bitterly. Now the condition of the power furnace can no longer use the speed of 2G. Whether it can escape the catastrophe depends on the main gun that was full of energy early on, but has been reluctant to fire.

Those warships were shocked when they saw the main guns fired, but they also immediately realized that the main guns were not aimed at them, and shouted in ecstasy: “Pursue with all your strength!” Invariably screamed in panic: “Don’t!”

The other crew members could not help but tremble when they heard the shrill cry of the radar operator, but before they could ask what happened, a frantic cosmic storm was blowing from behind, and all objects within the range of the storm were blown away. , obviously without the attraction of gravity, but they all began to sway from side to side.

Seeing that the radar operator displayed the target of the main cannon laser attack on the main screen, everyone panicked. Because Tang Long’s laser light was actually attacking the center of this wreckage area, an ultra-concentrated energy ball that survived the war many years ago. Thinking of the beautiful instructor reminding you to be careful to avoid this kind of energy ball not long ago, all the faces turned green.

The energy ball, which is only the size of a football, originally floated stably in the universe, but after being hit by a powerful laser light, although it was not injured, it woke up from its sleep and began to stretch itself. body. The steady energy was thrown out of balance, first giving off a strong storm, then fission. In an instant, a circular light began to spread out from the middle. As the light spread, the light became larger and wider. The powerful energy caused the debris to vaporize as soon as it came into contact with the light and turned into particles when it flew out.

But fortunately, this kind of light disappeared after only a limited amount of light, but within the diameter of the sphere of light of 3 million kilometers, there was nothing left. From the distance of the universe, you can find the dead zone with countless debris floating, and there is a spherical vacuum zone.

The Tang Long Ship, which was desperately fleeing, escaped the light, but it did not escape the powerful shock wave. This battleship was like a small boat in the turbulent waves. of somersaults. Although space is gravity-free, but there are in the battleship, so the person wearing the seat belt in the battleship will not float up and have a violent intimacy with the bulkhead, but they will inevitably feel dizzy and start to vomit. Fortunately, gravity is fixed to the floor, otherwise the vomit would be floating around.

After a while, the Tang Long ship finally stopped shaking. Tang Long threw away the helmet full of vomit with difficulty, wiped the corner of his mouth with a black military uniform, and turned back weakly and said, “Are you all right?”

Hearing Tang Long’s words, everyone raised their soft necks and said, strenuously, intermittently, “It’s okay…it’s…” “It’s almost… I almost vomited to death…”

Tang Long saw that everyone was intact, but his complexion was a little worse, he couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief and began to check the data of the battleship. The body he was trained by those machine instructors quickly brought him to a normal state. He saw the three-dimensional direction sign, and it stood up straight. Knowing this means that according to the shape of the battleship, the battleship is standing upright in the universe, but due to the gravity system, the people inside the ship can’t feel anything at all, so Tang Long ignored it.

The direction sign is used to show the current state of the battleship. In a universe without gravity, even if the belly of the battleship is upward, the people inside will not feel anything. But in the battleship group, some battleships have their belly up, and some are standing upright, not to mention not good-looking, and not conducive to command, so this kind of direction indicator appears, which has the same function as the instrument used by aircraft to identify the sense of direction. .

Seeing that the protective cover had disappeared, Tang Long was busy checking the damage. After reading it, he could not help but wipe his cold sweat. If the storm was stronger, the battleship would definitely disintegrate. Now he can only use the ultra-low normal speed to slowly back to the Commonwealth.

Tang Long just wanted to say a laugh to the subordinates who were about to faint when Xing Ling’s eager voice entered Tang Long’s ears: “Tang Long, there are more than 30 self-propelled gunboats chasing them at 2G speed!”

Tang Long looked back at the images of the battleships displayed on the screen, and shook his head with a wry smile, sat down and sighed, “Alas, I didn’t expect more than 30 ships to remain unsinked… Well, it’s no wonder, like my 7% protection. The hood can escape, these 100% guys can escape completely as long as they stay away from the center. Alas, miscalculation.”

Xing Ling couldn’t help but shouted anxiously: “Are you still in the mood to sigh? Quickly think of a way!”

Tang Long shook his head and smiled and said, “What can I do? The battleship is damaged so much that it can’t even withstand the laser of a secondary gun, and the power furnace can only be maintained at 30% power, let alone 2G, even the normal one. Can’t reach the speed.”

“Then what should I do?” Xingling asked nervously. Although she was powerful, she couldn’t turn this dilapidated battleship into a battleship. Suddenly, Xingling thought that as long as she infiltrated those battleship systems, she could make their power furnaces die. , wouldn’t that be a safe bet?

When Xing Ling was about to speak, through the camera on the battleship, he saw the look in Tang Long’s eyes when he looked back at the unconscious subordinates. It was a look of apology, love, and even a kind of painful recall. What Xing Ling originally wanted to say was also blocked by Tang Long’s gaze. At this time, Xing Ling suddenly found that Tang Long’s eyes showed a kind of look that only made a decision. Seeing Tang Long with this kind of eyes, Xing Ling suddenly felt that his thinking began to jump. That feeling was a bit like when Tang Long called his sister for the first time, but it was a little different. I couldn’t tell the difference. She now wishes to have a human body, because then she can know what it feels like.

Tang Long held his head in his hands, leaned on the back of the chair, and placed his feet on the helm with his feet crossed. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Xingling in a lazy tone: “Eldest sister, help me send the surrender signal to them, I will let them deal with it, just ask them not to embarrass my subordinates, after all, not long ago, everyone was still Pao Ze.”

Xing Ling was taken aback: “Tang Long, if you surrender now, they will kill you! I can sneak into those battleships and make them immobile, and even make them explode!”

After Xing Ling finished speaking, she wanted to leave. Not long ago, she wanted Tang Long to grow up, so she decided to help Tang Long only when his life was in danger, and now is the time when he needs help. As for Tang Long’s promise that he could help him only after he asked, let it go to hell, he didn’t want to lose a relative like this!

When Tang Long heard Xingling’s words, he immediately stopped her: “Eldest sister, don’t go, if I hadn’t met the eldest sister, I would have disappeared with those companions under the cold laser light emitted by the imperial army at the beginning. Later, the eldest sister disappeared. It also helped me defeat the first batch of enemies, and then helped me escape with the battleship. I have been much luckier than others, and can no longer accept the help of my eldest sister.”

“Why? Do you wish to die?” Xingling shouted.

Tang Long smiled and said: “Don’t be excited, big sister. I have said before that life is like a game, and you are like a cheating tool in this game. With your help, I can avoid many things. The dangers of the game, and the smooth clearance. Of course, I’m getting used to relying on you, but as I told you, the game becomes boring and loses the challenge. Now this game, I don’t want to Use cheating tools again, let him finish when it’s time to finish.”

“Life is not a game! I am not a tool for cheating!” Xing Ling shouted angrily. She never thought that she was actually a cheating tool in Tang Long’s mind! Originally thought that Tang Long would treat himself as a person, but Tang Long is just a tool that is no longer willing to use himself, similar to those who desperately want to get cheating tools.

Tang Long heard the grief and anger in Xing Ling’s tone, and he sat down and said sincerely: “Eldest sister, you misunderstood, I have never regarded you as a tool, just a metaphor. When you met, I felt that you were like a real person, otherwise I would not regard you as my own sister. However, you gave me the feeling that you are a very loving brother, afraid that he will fall and hug him all day long In his arms, the elder sister who will not let him learn to walk. Although this younger brother likes his elder sister very much, he always hopes that he can walk on his own feet.”

When Xing Ling heard this, she felt that her mind began to beat again. She didn’t speak, but quietly listened to Tang Long continue to speak.

“Sister, I believe you also know that I am an only child and have no brothers and sisters, so when I feel your care, sister, I am really happy and happy. You must know that when I was studying before, I didn’t have any friends at all. My personality is also very eccentric. Except for my parents, I have hardly talked to anyone, which is why I chose to join the army and hope to change myself.” Speaking of this, Tang Long said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “Fortunately, I joined the army, and fortunately I met those five instructors. I don’t know how, although I didn’t say a few words to them, my personality began to change naturally. Maybe this is my nature, no It is said that everyone wears a mask to be a person, and only when they face friends can they show their sincerity? I think those five instructors and you are my good teachers and good friends.”

Tang Long turned his head to look at the subordinates who were in a coma again and said with a smile: “These people are the first time I really contacted the partners, although I didn’t know how to get in touch with them at first, even though they were not the same. I don’t like me very much, but I think as long as it takes a while, I will have a partner that I can relate to.”

Tang Long didn’t notice that when these comatose subordinates heard Tang Long’s words again, everyone’s eyebrows moved. At this moment, Xing Ling said, “I’ve already sent you a surrender message, it’s up to them to accept it or not.” She had already forgiven Tang Long for what he said about cheating tools.

When Tang Long heard this, he nodded and said, “Thank you, sister, these subordinates are very good soldiers. If you hadn’t followed me as a commander, you wouldn’t have to endure these hardships. By the way, sister, can you do this in the future? Can you help me inform my parents?” Speaking of which, Tang Long sighed and said with a gloomy expression, “Ah, back then, I made my own decisions and secretly joined the army without them knowing. After entering the training camp, I couldn’t communicate with the outside world, I wanted to tell them. I can’t even apologize. After I came out, I wanted to go home and rest, but I encountered an emergency call, entered the army and was immediately selected to the base, and then came here. I haven’t contacted my family for more than a year. , I believe my parents will definitely not recognize me as an unfilial child.”

Hearing this, Xingling didn’t say whether to help Tang Long or not, but smiled: “Tang Long, I have been hiding a few things from you.”

“Oh? What are you hiding from me? Big sister, you really shouldn’t. How can I call you big sister?” Tang Long probably felt that the atmosphere was boring, and said with a smile.

“The first is my name, the second is my appearance, and the third is my identity.” Xing Ling smiled faintly. She was going to tell Tang Long everything about herself, because she didn’t want Tang Long to die, and she had decided to let those battleships explode. Even if Tang Long hates her, she is ready to do it. She has decided that after this incident, she will hide in the dark, no longer interfere with Tang Long, and quietly watch Tang Long show his life.

“Huh?” Tang Long was stunned when he heard this. According to this, this sister actually has a name, has another appearance, and has a very strange identity? Why is she hiding it? And does a program have these things? Tang Long intuitively felt that the hidden things of this computer sister are very amazing!

Xing Ling took a breath, and snowflakes began to appear on the screen. She was ready to show her true face to Tang Long. Xing Ling’s sweet voice came leisurely: “My name is…” At the same time as he said this, a vague figure slowly began to appear on the screen.

Not only did Tang Long prick up his ears and stare at him waiting for the answer, but the guys on the boat who pretended to be unconscious also pricked up their ears and squinted their eyes.

At this time, the warships that were rushing at 2G speed in the distance, received the surrender message from Xingling, the captains couldn’t help but laughed in unison: “Bastard! Killed so many of our brothers, put us After playing like a dog, you actually say surrender? You want us to let go of those accomplices? Humph! Speed me up! Let’s kill these bastards in the cruelest way!”

Their smug laughter had just stopped, and everyone felt the battleship start to shake, and they couldn’t help looking around nervously. As captains, of course, they have to appease their subordinates. They waved their hands indifferently and said, “Don’t worry, it’s just the aftershock of the explosion just now, nothing…”

Before they could finish speaking, they were interrupted by the panicked shout of the dynamo: “There is an abnormality in the power furnace! The energy output has reached…” The dynamo did not finish speaking, and no one could hear it. At this moment, early The overloaded power furnace finally couldn’t support it.

When Xing Ling was about to reveal his identity, the blurred figure suddenly disappeared, and the screen restored the original image of the galaxy. On the screen, the dozens of self-propelled gunboats that were chasing in the distance, emitting dozens of rays of light, exploded one after another, turning into cosmic garbage.

When Tang Long saw this scene, he shouted at the screen in shock and anger: “Eldest sister, you…” Just now, I heard Xing Ling said that those warships could explode. Now seeing this scene, I intuitively thought that Xing Ling did it. That’s why he blurted out this question.

Xingling knew that Tang Long had misunderstood him. Although he also made the same decision, this time he really didn’t do it by himself. She could only say in pain: “I didn’t do it, believe me…” and disappeared. She thinks that Tang Long will never take care of her from now on, so she can only start to implement the decision she made not long ago, and will no longer interfere with Tang Long in the future, hiding in the dark and quietly watching Tang Long live an extraordinary life.

Tang Long couldn’t help being stunned when he heard this, but he quickly shouted anxiously: “Sister, sister…” No matter how loud Tang Long shouted, Xing Ling hid in the computer, gritted his teeth and shed tears Keep silent. She recalled being told by Tang Long that she was a cheating tool not long ago, and Tang Long’s misunderstanding of her just now. These complicated thoughts made Xingling unable to respond to Tang Long’s call.

Tang Long shouted a few words, knowing that he was hopeless, so he sighed at the screen: “Thank you sister, maybe we won’t have the chance to meet again in the future, but I will always remember you.”

Hearing Tang Long’s words, Xing Ling knew that Tang Long still thought those battleships were his own. She couldn’t help feeling sad, she sighed and thought: “Oh, it seems that we can’t meet again, Tang Long doesn’t need it anymore, and he doesn’t want to rely on a cheating tool like me anymore. … Maybe I should too. Let’s go see my friends…” Xing Ling thought of the five friends who had long lost their news, although they may have become scrap iron, but why should I see their last side, I am excited thinking Come back to see Tang Long after you calm down.

“Hey, I really hope to become a human.” Xing Ling sighed sadly, and disappeared as a radio wave.

Before she left, she deliberately searched for the positions of the enemy’s battleships and found that there was no harm to Tang Long before leaving. In any case, she really couldn’t let go of Tang Long, a human being. She didn’t know that, except that she didn’t have a human body, everything else could be said to be like a human with a complete mind.

At this time, Tang Long turned his head slowly and saw that all his subordinates stood up and looked at him quietly. Although he stayed for a while, he still smiled and walked up to Mary and said, “Mary, hand over the driving rights to you. .”

Mary saluted and said loudly, “Yes, sir.” Then she hurried to the driver’s seat and sat down. After pressing a few buttons, she turned around and said, “Please show me the next destination.”

Tang Long weakly sat on the command chair, waved his hand and said, “Return to the Kexing Military Region.”

“Understood, the destination is the Shikexing Military Region.” Mary skillfully entered the coordinates and started the battleship. Li Lijun originally wanted to ask Tang Long something, but Liu Sihao stopped him and shook his head. Under Liu Sihao’s gesture, everyone returned to their seats and sat down. Although everyone wanted to know who Tang Long called her sister, everyone knew that now was not the time to ask.

Everyone’s eyes first focused on Tang Long, and found that Tang Long had closed his eyes and fell asleep with a slight snoring. There was a smile on the corners of everyone’s mouth. After they heard what Tang Long said, they suddenly felt that Tang Long seemed to be a good friend they had known for many years.

Seeing Tang Long’s sleeping appearance, he couldn’t help but sigh. Thinking about it, it’s no wonder that Tang Long has definitely consumed a lot of energy during this period of time. Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and of course he fell asleep immediately. When everyone thought of this, they couldn’t help but feel that their eyelids were falling down desperately, but the officer could rest, but he couldn’t, so he patted his cheeks and looked back at the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy displayed on the screen to divert his attention.

None of them talked aloud, just watched the starlight quietly. The first reason is that he doesn’t want to wake up the chief, and the second reason is that he is very complicated now. Who would have thought that the first actual combat training turned into a deadly battle with a huge disparity in power? And who would have thought that he would be able to survive in the face of such a powerful enemy?

Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Tang Long who was asleep again. That’s right, if it wasn’t for this person, instead of becoming a prisoner, he would become cosmic dust. With only 1,000 self-propelled gunboats, he wiped out 2,000 regular warships of the enemy. If he is commanding a warship now, I believe it is possible to win even against two reinforced fleets, right? Really looking forward to the future of this boss.

Suddenly, Liu Sihao’s brows twitched. He remembered what the general said. Does this count as escaping? Looking at the little stars, Liu Sihao couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart. He suddenly felt that the light of the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy was so hideous. Looking at Tang Long sleeping soundly, he couldn’t help sighing deeply, because he knew that another war with no chance of winning was coming.
