1288 I Hate You!
At the entrance of the base, a patrol team passed by.
"Little Zhao, is everything okay?" The captain walked to one of the guards and asked.
"Second Lieutenant Lin, it's fine. The residents here all know what this place is. They won't break the rules." The young guard, Little Zhao, smiled and said.
Although the guards had to work the night shift and it was a little strenuous, the good thing was that everyone here knew their limits. Plus, Planet Xiagang was within the Federation and was an unimportant third-class planet. It had been peaceful for decades and nothing would happen. Sometimes, they could even lean against the pavilion and take a nap without anyone noticing.
"But we still have to be careful. After all, it's different now," Second Lieutenant Lin said.
Little Zhao quickly said, "Second Lieutenant Lin, don't worry. We'll be careful during this period."
As they spoke, a thin layer of fog appeared in the air.
"Damn it. It's foggy again." Second Lieutenant Lin stretched out his hand and felt the humidity in the air.
Planet Xiagang was a planet with abundant water resources. There were 200 days in a year, and at least 180 days were foggy. A planet with abundant water resources wouldn't become a third-rate planet no matter how poor its resources were. The reason why Planet Xiagang became a third-rate planet was because of the foggy days.
Second Lieutenant Lin took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Lin Yunbin of the R19 team has a situation to report to the command center."
"Please speak, Second Lieutenant Lin." A gentle voice came from the other end. It was the base's JMC.
"Level 1 fog has appeared in Area R1." Lin Yunbin felt the humidity on his hand increasing. "It's now level 2."
"Command center has received it. Adding Second Lieutenant Lin's report to the command center. Are you sure?" The JMC checked again.
Second Lieutenant Lin closed his eyes and carefully sensed the fog again. After confirming that the level 2 fog didn't increase, he replied, "I'm sure."
"Recording successful. Please contact the command center if there's a new situation. Thank you." The JMC ended the call.
Second Lieutenant Lin finished his report and said goodbye to Little Zhao. He continued his patrol.
After they left, Little Zhao felt that the thick fog around him had dissipated a little. After a while, the fog disappeared and he could see clearly again.
"The fog dissipated quite quickly this time." Little Zhao was a little surprised. Originally, the fog would become thicker and thicker as night fell. It would only gradually dissipate after the sun rose from the east the next day.
"Maybe it's because it's light." His companion on the other side deduced.
"Hmm, that makes sense." The thinner the fog was, the faster it would disperse.
The two of them didn't take this matter to heart and continued to stick to their posts. Although they had high-tech detection equipment, because of the existence of hackers, there was no lack of personnel on duty.
This was a medium-sized base. Normally, as a military base, there wouldn't be any tall buildings. Normally, three stories was already the highest.
However, it was not the tallest building in the base. Instead, it was the lighthouses that were scattered around the base, reaching a height of five or six stories.
On top of the lighthouse, there were also soldiers on duty monitoring the surroundings.
"The fog is getting thicker and thicker. I can't see anything clearly." In the lighthouse, a soldier was using a high-powered telescope to check the surrounding situation. Looking at the increasingly blurred image, he could not help but frown.
His companion beside him heard him and said, "Just turn on the infrared and thermal sensors. I guarantee that not a single mouse will be able to escape."
"I know. But I still prefer the images of natural objects. I don't like those red and purple lines. They make me dizzy." The soldier on duty twitched his mouth and said.
"Just let the mainframe do the proofreading. With the current technology, the mainframe's error rate is less than one in ten million," his companion said nonchalantly.
"That's true. But what if we're unlucky and encounter this one in ten million?" The soldier on duty remembered an incident where he was criticized for trusting the mainframe too much and neglecting his duties. Unexpectedly, the mainframe made a mistake and misjudged a harmless wild dog as an enemy attack. It set off the entire military alarm and caused a huge uproar. In the end, it was discovered that it was a farce … In the end, not only was the soldier stripped of his political rights, he was also sentenced to 30 years in military prison by the military court.
After this incident, the monitoring soldiers were alerted and didn't dare to slack off.
"Bah bah bah. This only happens once in a few hundred years. How can it happen to us? Don't jinx it. "His companion instantly spat.
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't say anymore. I'll just set the mainframe to do the proofreading and watch from the side. " The soldier on duty felt that he was being too careful. He manually set the mainframe to be the main judge and his personal assistant judge.
The two of them did not notice that as they spoke, the thick fog was slowly dissipating.
At this moment, in one of the barracks in the base, two people were lying down and standing on the roof of the barracks.
The one lying on the ground was holding a bottle of wine, gulping it down in large mouthfuls. There were a few empty bottles scattered around him. It seemed that he had drunk quite a lot.
"Zilong, are you going to drink until you die?" Han Jijun frowned. There was anger on his face.
Hearing this question, Zilong stopped drinking and turned to look at Han Jijun. "If I don't drink, I'll go crazy."
Zilong lay on his back and looked at the black night sky. There were only a few shining stars in the night sky. His originally honest face became distorted.
"Do you know what I swore in the past?" Zilong clenched his fists so hard that the veins on the back of his hands popped out. "I said before that if you want to hurt my boss, you have to step over my dead body."
"But, when Boss needed me the most, where was I? I was in the safest fleet that Boss arranged. I was eating and drinking well … "Zilong angrily threw the wine bottle to the ground.
"Bang!" The wine bottle instantly shattered into powder. The wine spilled all over the floor.
A few people suddenly rushed out from the darkness. When they saw Zilong and Han Jijun on the roof, they understood what was going on. Then, they quietly disappeared into the darkness as if they had never existed.
"I hate it … From the start, I shouldn't have agreed to Boss's deployment. I should have followed beside Boss, just like Luo Lang, Xie Yi, Li Lanfeng and the others." Zilong's face was filled with regret.
"Slap!" A loud slap landed on Zilong's face.
Zilong looked at Han Jijun in shock. He didn't think that Han Jijun, who had always supported him, would actually hit him.
Han Jijun said coldly, "Zilong, you look f * cking ugly like this."
