After saying goodbye to Samuel, Lin Xingzhui walked out of the meeting room with the fish tank without saying a word.

When taking the elevator back to the room where he and Ji Yuncheng lived, he caught a glimpse of the turbulent seawater in the distance through several layers of transparent glass.A few clusters of bright blue lights flickered in the sea water, passing in front of him like shooting stars.

Beside Lin Xingzhu, two young men in dark blue uniforms were discussing something softly.They were holding a toolbox in one hand, a tablet and a bunch of materials in the other, and were whispering.

"The military is conducting exercises again?..."

"Yes, together with the Qiming Base."

"I don't know what the people at Qiming base are here for."

"Don't say that - at least they are better than the Gougu base that just pretended to be dead, right? Although we have no enmity with the Qiming base, but we don't have much friendship. It's good that they are willing to send someone to help... I heard that they are still The general leads the army. Is it equivalent to the commander in chief here?"

Those who heard this were quite surprised, but they still insisted: "Is it true?"

"Really." The colleague beside him said, "Besides, the space immigration plan is not yet fully mature. If even the deep sea is attacked by Zerg, maybe we need to return to land."

"..."

Having said this, the young man who questioned the Qiming base couldn't help but keep silent, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

"Land...I haven't been to land a few times." He said, as if he had seen some dreamlike scenery.

"Do you think that if we really go back to land, our life will be easier than it is now?" His colleague smiled wryly, "Don't be stupid. The probability of being attacked on land is more than ten times higher than in the deep sea. Assuming we do abandon this habitat one day, it must mean that the base has reached the end of the road ... the situation must be very bad."

"Living on land is not as difficult as you imagine." The man retorted, "Qiming base has been on land for so many years...will we not be as good as them?"

The colleague standing beside him lost his voice for a while, turned his head and looked at him with funny but worried eyes, and said, "Shouldn't we aim at the space immigration plan?...Don't you want to see people in distant space?" A new world? I think we can wait for that moment in our lifetime. Just thinking about it is exciting."

However, the topic of "new world" still failed to divert the attention of the young man who yearned for land.

"The new world...is it really as free and beautiful as we imagined?" The young man murmured, "I have been to land several times, and all I have seen are trees, running water, even the ground. A grain of sand is novel and interesting. We are human beings, and the land is our natural home—”

They moved their base to the deep sea to avoid being attacked by the Zerg and ensure their own safety.

However, these young people have been indoctrinated countless times about "how dangerous the land is" since they were born, but no one has told them that there is also a strange beauty hidden in this danger.

Why does the deep-sea base abandon the "homeland" in front of it and seek a "new world" in the vast space?

Listening to their discussion, Lin Xingzhu suddenly understood that not everyone knew the truth about Zerg and Stargate.Probably only the top executives of the deep sea base have access to that information.

This may also be related to Samuel's "fishbowl theory" just now.

Most people who don't know the truth are just a small fish in a school of fish.It is still unknown whether they can live in peace without the "fish tank", but what is even more difficult to figure out is what choices these "little fish" will make after discovering the existence of the "fish tank".

Maybe they are just trying to protect their "fish tank" in every possible way.

This is the difference between radical and conservative.

This is also the deep crisis that the deep sea base has been facing for a long time.

Without telling the truth, they cannot guarantee everyone's support.If everyone is told the truth, they are less likely to have everyone's support.

...and no wonder.If these things were exposed to people's vision early, it is impossible for the Qiming base to not receive any news.

and many more.

Does the entire Qiming base really know nothing about it?

Lin Xingzhui's expression froze.

Before he could come up with a reason, the young man's colleague spoke first: "Since you like land so much...well, come to my room after work, and I'll tell you something."

"What can't be said now? I have a lot of work tonight."

"It's some insider news—anyway, just give it to me."

...It seems that one of the two of them is someone who has contacted high-level people and knows the truth.

A few seconds later, the elevator stopped at a certain floor, and one of the two people who had talked before walked out with a tablet in his hand, and the remaining one was the young man who was very yearning for the land in his words just now.

He turned his back to Lin Xingzhu, and Lin Xingzhu could only see his back: he was wearing the uniform blue overalls of the repairmen, which looked a bit baggy on him, and the wide trousers were stuffed into the black boots , and the sleeves that were too long were pushed onto his arms by him.

The elevator continued to sink.

Only he and Lin Xingzhui were left in the elevator.

The young man's sleeves seemed to be too wide, and one of the tied sleeves gradually slipped down.But he held the heavy toolbox in both arms, and it was difficult to move.

The young man frowned, and tried several times to pick up the sleeves without success, but he didn't want to put the toolbox on the ground and pick it up again later—this box was so heavy that he didn't have the confidence to carry it a second time. up it.

The young man looked around, and finally turned to look at Lin Xingzhu: "Um, I'm sorry..."

It was also at this time that Lin Xingzhu could see his face clearly - he was really young, even too young.The light brown eyes are pure and bright, the face is fair and clean, and the eyes that look at people show a bit of ignorance of the world.

Lin Xingzhu: "Are you calling me?"

The other party froze when he saw his face clearly.After two seconds of silence, the other party's face and ears turned red quickly, almost jumping up from the spot: "Ah! I, I, I—"

Lin Xingzhui looked at him "I" for a long time, only to see that this young man seemed to gain strength suddenly, put the toolbox at his feet "with ease", and quickly put down his sleeves, even the cuffs They all smoothed it subconsciously, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry. I was distracted just now."

Lin Xingzhu: "...It's okay."

The young man quickly regained his composure and said, "Ah, by the way, this elevator leads down to the dormitory building of the military headquarters - except for the soldiers themselves, friends and family members are not allowed to enter. You don't look like It's the maintenance guy who repairs the facility..."

Lin Xingzhu knew that he was afraid that he might go to the wrong place, so he also smiled and explained: "It was Samuel who arranged for us to live here. So, nothing will happen."

"Oh." The young man nodded, his words froze for a moment, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Are you from the Qiming Base?"

The response is very fast.

Lin Xingzhu nodded.

The young man's face turned red again, probably because he remembered what he had just said about arranging the Qiming base.But seeing Lin Xingzhuan's warm expression, he couldn't guess how much the other party heard, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Cough. Hello. My name is Shen Lu——I'm the new dormitory maintenance worker."

"...I'm Lin Xingzhu."

The two exchanged names.

"Lin Xingzhu, your name sounds very elegant. Unlike me..."

"The name Shen Lu is also very good."

"I chose the name Shen Lu myself." Shen Lu pointed to the badge with embarrassment, "This is the name I registered in the base list."

I saw three words written on the badge: "John Shen".

It is not written as "john·Shen", but serious "John Shen".

"Actually, I submitted a name change application to the base a long time ago, and now basically everyone calls me Shen Lu. But when engraving the badge, it must have been a system convulsion. They retrieved the old list that had not been overwritten, and just It's done like this."

Lin Xingzhu couldn't help laughing.

Shen Lu gave up struggling: "Isn't it very earthy?"

"It's okay." Lin Xingzhu nodded.

At this time, the light under the elevator turned green, and the dancing head-cut symbol also dimmed.

The military dormitory area has arrived.

Shen Lu hurriedly bent down to lift the metal box at his feet - but the box seemed too heavy for him to carry it for a while.

Lin Xingzhu thoughtfully pressed the pause button of the elevator for him, and asked him, "Do you need help?"

"Thanks, but I can move."

Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Lu stood up again holding the box.

Lin Xingzhu: "Is this a toolbox? Is it so heavy?"

Shen Lu: "Actually, it also includes some parts that need to be installed...I tried to save trouble and filled it up, so it's so heavy."

"Then be careful, don't get hurt."

"it is good."

There was still some time before the inspection gate, and they walked side by side.

"Mr. Lin, you come from the Qiming base... Is the Qiming base completely different from ours?"

"Well, there are a lot of differences."

"Are you a soldier too? Although it doesn't look like much. But you have already lived in the dormitory of the military headquarters... I heard that the Qiming base sent here are all very powerful soldiers, and there are even generals— —Mr. Lin, you can’t be that mysterious general!”

Lin Xingzhu: "? Do you look like me?"

He felt that the young man might have misunderstood the Qiming Base.

"...Are you really not? Then why do you live here?" The boy asked persistently.

"Although he is not an admiral, he is a member of the admiral's family." Suddenly, a door opened in front of them, and Lin Xingzhuo took a closer look, and it turned out to be Joe Court. It looks like a smile but not a smile.

"Commander, have you been drinking too much?" Shen Lu seemed to know Qiucourt, "Family members of the military dormitory are not allowed to enter - don't you know?"

"Ah, maybe I'm really drunk... just kidding. I just almost threw up on the aircraft." Joe Court waved his hand and said.

"You rested, what about Ji Yuncheng?" Lin Xingzhu asked.

"He's back too." Chocourt said with a sigh, "And he said he wasn't his family member—ask him the first sentence."

Lin Xingzhui glanced at him, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

Shen Lu leaned close to Qiucourt, bent down half of his body, and asked in a low voice: "Commander, what exactly is Mr. Lin's background?"

"Didn't I already introduce myself to you?" Qiucourt patted Shen Lu's head and messed up his hair, causing the latter to dodge for a while.

Shen Lu could only hear the clear breathing of Jokot.The latter glanced at Lin Xingzhui's back and said:

"He is a star."
