Before leaving the Hexi Region, Xu Le had circled to the Fourth Street in the twilight. He took a look at his beloved repair shop from afar and was shocked to find that the entire building where the shop was located had been reduced to ruins. He did not need to care about how the Federation would explain this matter to society. He could only easily see that the Donglin garrison had directly used heavy firepower to launch an attack on his boss. Comparing this with the formation of the mecha team B4 that the colonel belonged to, Xu Le felt a chill in his heart. He did not know just how many important people in the Federation wanted to kill his boss, and what was up with the crime of treason that his boss bore.
However, Xu Le did not have the extravagant hope of using the disguise chip to investigate this matter and help his boss clear his name or take revenge. On one hand, it was because his boss had given him a serious warning in his last words. On the other hand, he knew that he was just an ordinary person now. He was too far away from the secrets of the upper echelons of the Federation society. He was so far away that he could not even look up to them.
Standing on the empty cement ground of the garrison area's airport, Xu Le turned around and looked at the familiar planet. He took a deep breath, and his eyebrows, which were as thick and straight as knives, became much smoother. It was as if he could not bear the sorrow of leaving. As a retired soldier, he boarded a spaceship on the way to leave the Donglin Region and head to the capital ring. This seemed to be his dream for more than ten years. However, when this dream was realized in a bizarre way, Xu Le still felt like he was dreaming.
The identity verification and security check had been completed before he entered the garrison. At this time, Xu Le was no longer as scared as he was a month ago. Instead, he could calmly face the omnipresent electronic surveillance network. He lowered his head and walked into the transit cabin, not forgetting to smile at the soldiers at the door.
These soldiers were all from the West Woods. They were responsible for the security of the commercial spaceship above the Donglin Region. After a month, the friendly visit between the West Woods Region and the Donglin Region ended. They reached a package of reciprocal agreements and confirmed the assistance of the West Woods to the Donglin Region. Those important officials had already returned to the spaceship and were about to embark on the long journey home. The cargo spaceship that Xu Le entered was the last transit cabin in space.
…
…
Xu Le's body was pressed tightly against the back of the chair. The feeling of his head being filled with blood was very unfamiliar to him. He, who had never experienced space travel before, felt a fresh excitement and a trace of fear. Other than him, there was no one else in the cabin full of goods. He didn't know how Uncle Feng Yu set up the disguise chip, but this retired soldier really didn't pay much attention to him, other than the loud noise that reminded him that he was leaving his hometown.
When he was about 30,000 meters away from the ground, Xu Le finally relaxed. Following the instructions of the electronic equipment in the cabin, he adjusted the position of his seat. Only then did he have the extra energy to observe the flight cabin that he was in.
Unlike what he had imagined when he was a teenager, these spaceships that represented the level of human civilization were not very beautiful. Even if it was just an open space transit cabin, it still looked a bit too crude. The exposed metal on the cabin walls were not covered, and he could even see the circuit system inside the pipes. The smell of engine oil filled the cabin. Looking at this scene, Xu Le could not help but be a little surprised. He thought to himself, "Is this a f * cking old truck or an extremely sophisticated high-tech product?"
Twenty seconds later, Xu Le lost his initial sense of novelty and curiosity. The physiological effects of the load began to appear. His breathing was a little short, but fortunately, in the past four years, he had been constantly adjusted by Uncle Feng Yu. Compared to other first-time travelers, he had adapted quickly enough and was calm enough.
He noticed that the window of the spaceship began to constantly pass by the red dust and some space junk that reflected a metallic luster. Logically speaking, at the current altitude, there should not be so much space junk. Xu Le was a little confused for a while. He just quietly watched. After a long time, the spaceship seemed to have passed through this strange dust area and truly escaped the gravitational pull of Donglin.
It was time to remove the restraints on his body. Xu Le carefully left the chair according to the instructions. He felt the strange feeling of weightlessness, and a happy smile appeared on his face. Like a fish, he swung his arms and slowly swam to the side of the porthole. He held the edge of the window with both hands. He did not know if the spaceship was facing the direction of the star at this time. The light outside the window was unusually bright, and the entire cabin was illuminated with a silvery white light.
This bright silvery white light illuminated the metal bracelet on Xu Le's left wrist very clearly. It even showed some very faint marks that were not easy to find. Xu Le looked down and found two lines of small words engraved on the edge of the bracelet. He had not noticed it for the past few days, and he could not help but be surprised. He subconsciously read it softly.
"In this world, there are two things that can deeply shake people's hearts. One is the noble moral code in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads — Kant."
Xu Le wanted to touch his head, but he found that in the absence of gravity, he swung his hand a little too hard. It hit his head, and it was a little painful. He looked at these two lines a little gloomily. He did not know who Kant was, and he was not very clear about the meaning of these seemingly very philosophical words. However, he still had a strange feeling in his heart. This feeling was perhaps called passion, or perhaps it was called loftiness?
Retracting his gaze from these words, Xu Le looked at the universe outside the window. The young man, who was preparing to greedily absorb the beautiful scenery, suddenly narrowed his eyes. The scenery outside was completely beyond his expectations. Countless stars were like sesame seeds on a pie, sprinkling over the entire vast universe. The silvery white starlight did not shine, and it was like a holy light enveloping the surroundings!
Xu Le looked at this scene with his mouth agape. He grew up in the Donglin area and could only see a few pitiful stars at night. He did not know that the real starry sky outside the atmosphere was so beautiful and dazzling!
Suddenly, Xu Le's body fell heavily to the ground. He was in pain from the fall because he was so shocked by the sea of stars outside the window that he did not notice the electronic device reminding him that the docking was successful. The gravity was reset, and please return to the restraining chair.
After five minutes, the cabin door was finally opened. The battered Xu Le climbed up from the ground, found his backpack, and followed the receptionist of the commercial spaceship into the real spaceship.
Xu Le found that his eyes were not enough. When he thought about the fact that he was in fact in the endless abyss of the universe, he felt a little strange. When he thought about how the equipment he saw were all high-end goods that could only be seen in books, he felt a little instinctive excitement.
"The Department of Defense is too stingy." The soldier in charge of leading the way was not surprised by Xu Le's reaction. He shrugged and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly. "Although we do have to pass by the Capital Star, the Department of Defense is so stingy … There's no other way. The rooms are already full. I have to ask you to stay in Area 32."
"No problem." Xu Le nodded. After all, this was the spaceship of the West Woods people and not the Department of Defense's own troop carrier. It was good enough that he had a room.
In the empty Area 32, Xu Le stood alone by the giant window, carrying his backpack. He looked at the distant East Forest Planet and sighed. Just as he was about to find his room, he suddenly heard a very young and clear voice behind him. It made him want to protect it.
"Protect me."
Xu Le turned around abruptly. Then his mouth fell open because he saw … a little girl in white pajamas, bathed in the silver starlight. The little girl was only five or six years old. She was holding a doll in her arms. Her innocent eyes were filled with tears, and her whole body seemed to emit a delicate aura.
