Xiao Ran's sudden appearance made the two siblings who were talking raise their heads in astonishment. They looked at this person who appeared out of nowhere inexplicably. The hair on both sides of Orchid's face stood up like rabbit ears, making Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitch. This was indeed the bloodline of the Jela Emperor. No matter how you looked at it, she was an alien. No wonder even her hair was so flexible.
Ozma looked at Xiao Ran from head to toe, then quickly blinked at Xiao Ran. He laughed, patted his head, and stood up. He reached out his hand to Xiao Ran and said in a hurried tone, "You are Staff Sergeant Xiao Ran, no, you are now a Major. Thank you very much for your help yesterday. You saved my useless sister. Maybe you don't know, but you are very popular in the defense force now."
"Really?" Xiao Ran touched his nose embarrassedly. He reached out and shook Ozma's hand. He smiled and said, "I really don't know what's going on. Can you tell me?"
Ozma laughed and said, "Yesterday, Major Xiao Ran fought with everyone. You helped a lot of people by eliminating so many Zergs. Someone even recorded your battle and made a video to circulate in the army. Now your popularity in the army is no less than that of the Milky Way Singer."
"Ah!" Orchid suddenly screamed. Xiao Ran said nervously with her arms crossed in front of her chest, "You, you are the person who saved us yesterday? Thank you, thank you very much. "
"You are welcome. Even without me, you would have been safe." Xiao Ran looked at Ozma with a half-smile. Ozma laughed awkwardly and said, "You are too kind. It's all thanks to you."
"Haha, but because of me, there were unnecessary casualties. Let's not talk about this." Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that the kid who drove the red Airframe yesterday is also here. He also contributed a lot."
Perhaps Ozma also thought of the death of his comrades and the heavy casualties of the United Army. His face sank for a moment.
"Really! Where? Where? " Orchid glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise. She then turned to look around for Arte.
Xiao Ran said, "It should still be under inspection. You'll see it in a moment."
Lan Hua nodded. "I'll wait for him here."
Ozma's eyes suddenly widened. She grabbed Orchid's shoulder and said, "Don't you need to go to class?"
Orchid pouted, and her two bunny ears stood up. "Brother! My savior is right in front of me. Shouldn't I thank others first?! "
Ozma said, "It's more important for you to attend class. I'll be the one to thank you for saving your life."
"I don't want to!" Orchid tilted her head to the side. She shouted unhappily, "Brother, how can you do this? I want to thank him personally."
"Orchid!"
"Hmph, smelly brother!"
"You two have a good relationship." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He said to Ozma, "Mr. Ozma, it doesn't matter if you take half a day off. Look, she's here, right? "
Ozma and Orchid turned their heads at the same time to look at Catherine, Arte and the others who were walking past them to the blood extraction room.
"Ah! It's him! The beautiful pilot with long hair! He is the one who saved me! " There was a look of joy on Orchid's face as she spoke happily. She ran toward Arte and stopped before him. "It's you, the princess from yesterday!"
"Mm?" Arte was surprised to see Orchid. Seeing Orchid looking at him happily, he forced out a smile and said, "You are … … the girl from yesterday … …"
"It's me, it's me. My name is Orchid Lee. You can call me Orchid from now on." Orchid happily twirled before Arte. Her two buns of hair stood up, revealing how happy and excited she was. "Can you tell me your name?"
Arte nodded and said, "Arte. Morning Girl Arte."
"Brother Arte, thank you for saving me yesterday."
Xiao Ran and Ozma walked over as well. When Moses and Billy saw Xiao Ran, they greeted him. "Sir."
"Mm." Xiao Ran nodded. He glanced at Arte, who was at a loss for what to do with Orchid's enthusiasm. Smiling, he asked, "What other tests are there?"
Moses replied, "We're just short of a blood test."
"That won't be long."
Ozma walked to stand before Catherine. He scratched his head helplessly and said to Catherine with a meaningful tone, "I didn't think that a small test like this would require you, Catherine, to personally attend to it. It seems the lack of manpower in the military is getting worse."
"Ozma … …" Catherine was stunned. Taking a deep breath, she said, "This problem has nothing to do with a retired soldier like you."
"The military's matters have nothing to do with me. However, the VF-25 that he damaged is under our S.M.S.'s management." Ozma shrugged at Katherine and smirked. "Is that so, Lieutenant Katherine Glass?"
Catherine looked at Ozma with a fluctuating expression. There seemed to be something in her eyes. In the end, she tilted her head slightly and said, "That's right. VF-25 is under your management. Since that's the case, I'll leave the rest to you. "
Ozma put his index finger and middle finger together and tapped the side of his head lightly. "Thank you."
Arte had heard the conversation between Ozma and Catherine. He looked at the S.M.S. uniform Ozma was wearing and muttered, "S.M.S.?"
Catherine closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She walked to Xiao Ran and saluted. "Major Xiao Ran, we'll take our leave first."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Well, remember what I told you yesterday. Also, if Sherry Dew calls you to ask about the child, tell her that the child is in my hands and ask her to come to me. You can give her my contact information directly."
Catherine looked at Xiao Ran in confusion. She nodded and left with the two soldiers. Ozma exhaled softly. "Phew, I really met that troublesome woman again. Hey, the kid over there, hurry up and do the last checkup!"
"Moses, take him for the checkup." After Xiao Ran finished speaking to Moses, the latter nodded and led Arte into the blood extraction room. Orchid accompanied them in. Only Xiao Ran, Billy, and Ozma were left outside.
After the door of the blood extraction room was closed, Ozma looked at Zhang Heng with a serious expression. She looked at Xiao Ran with a serious face. "Major Xiao Ran, thank you for not revealing my identity as a pilot. But are you also here for that young man?"
"The famous captain of the Skeleton Squad is actually helpless in front of his own little sister. This is truly inconceivable." Xiao Ran chuckled. His expression turned serious. "I do have some matters to discuss with that kid named Arte, but I also have some matters to discuss with you. I just didn't expect to meet you here. I believe you've also received the notice that S.M.S. will fully cooperate with my work from today onwards. I also have part of S.M.S.'s interference in command. "
"I know, although it's only temporary … but, sigh." Ozma showed a helpless expression and saluted Xiao Ran. "Captain of the Skeleton Squad, Major Ozma Lee. Greetings, sir."
Xiao Ran nodded and saluted Ozma. "Member of the investigation team sent by the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army, Special Major Investigator of the 25th Ship Regiment Defense Command, Xiao Ran."
The two put down their hands at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed in unison. Ozma said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be so shocked after seeing your battle yesterday. We'll be working together temporarily today. "
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "This is only temporary. My mission is very important. It concerns the safety of President Glass and the entire 25th Ship Regiment. To put it more broadly, it may also concern the safety of the entire human world. President Glass also needs to confirm some things, so he left the investigation to me. In this regiment, there are not many people I can trust, but S.M.S. is definitely one of them. That's why I asked President Glass to negotiate with you to cooperate with me."
"Hmm? You're not the only investigator sent by the Earth Alliance and the military, are you? "Ozma frowned. It was the first time Billy heard what was going on. He could not help but look at Xiao Ran.
"No, there are a total of 100 people in the investigation team, but I only know where half of them are," Xiao Ran said. He shook his head slightly and sighed. "The situation and forces on Earth are more complicated. Not everyone in the investigation team will really listen to the orders of the headquarters of the Earth Unified Army. On the surface, they are soldiers, but in private, they are the private army of some groups, so those people are not trustworthy."
Billy and Ozma opened their mouths wide. The latter said in disbelief, "I didn't expect the situation on Earth to be so complicated. Even the United Army can't control everything on Earth? "
Xiao Ran shook his head. "No, you should know that most of the immigrant ships rely on these enterprises to exist. Even the armaments used by the United Army are provided by these enterprises. Without the help of these enterprises, the Earth Unified Army may not be able to produce so many immigrant ships."
"After so many years, you can imagine how much power these enterprises have accumulated. Even the headquarters of the United Army can't find out. Earth is also the place where the competition between the various enterprises, ship groups, and Earth is the most serious. Resources, population, force, power, and money are the focus of the competition. This also causes the headquarters of the United Army to have to look at the reactions of these enterprises. In comparison, the various ship groups in the universe are the real simple places, and in the entire investigation team, only I know the real mission. "
Ozma frowned slightly and shook his head. He found it unbelievable. "Then what do we need to do now?"
"A lot." Xiao Ran looked around and said expressionlessly, "About Vajra, about your sister, about the traitor on the island, about the spies on the island."
"My sister!? Orchid!? " Ozma only paid attention to the word "sister". He suddenly opened his eyes wide and lowered his voice. "How did Orchid get involved in this?"
Xiao Ran curled his lips. "Don't you know that Orchid has been in a state of surveillance?"
"What!" Ozma shouted angrily. "Bastard, who is it!?"
Xiao Ran patted Ozma's shoulder. "Calm down, this is not the place to talk. Take Orchid to S.M.S., I'll be there in the afternoon. Right, you should want Arte to join S.M.S. After I'm done with my business, I'll take him with me."
"Okay." Ozma's eyes were spitting fire. "No matter who it is, I will never let him go!"
Xiao Ran looked at Ozma who had almost lost his mind and suddenly asked, "Ozma, I want to ask you something."
"Hmm? What? "
