Chapter 17

  When faced with guns

  …………

  …………

  A huge commercial spaceship suspended in the boundless universe, the light silver exterior and the extremely streamline aesthetic feeling appearance, let this spaceship became that most brightest star in the star sky, it looked down at the planet below serenely and gracefully.

  The interstellar travel was very expensive today because of the shortage of the energy crystal mineral, this spaceship came from the Antique Bell company of the West Forest Region, nobody knew it attracted how many eyes of the officials and the residents of the East Forest Region. Besides the routine business activities, the Antique Bell company even brought the friendly greeting and the relevant official visit affairs from the West Forest Region.

  But including those visiting scholars and officials of the West Forest Region, up to the most of the big shots of the East Forest Region, they didn’t know it clearly, behind the engine control room of this commercial spacecraft, there’s a huge warehouse hidden, there were a large number of goods covered by the military green tarpaulin, didn’t know what kind of things they were.

  Lake was the headman of the special mecha squad of the Fourth Military Region, he was just over thirty years old, and he was in the peak form of the physical strength. He looked down at that planet through the porthole, his face was firm and persistent, and his eyes were full of impassive confidence.

  About the secret task of the mecha squad in this trip, besides him, not many people knew about it, even those with outstanding military exploits squad members, they also didn’t know about what was going on behind the scenes clearly.

  Mechanic Yufeng… This was really a name which made people to have the profound recall.

  Lake narrowed his eyes, he thought of that explosion more than ten years ago. He was just only a new recruit right then. He followed the counter-offensive troop of the Federation, successfully had a risky space-jump, and attacked and occupied one of the abdominal resource planet of the Empire. But nobody knew, this was a trap set by the Empire, countless empire soldiers flocked to come in great numbers by the battleships. And the explosion of the munitions depot destroyed more than ten thousand lives of the federal troops directly, and it also destroyed the confidence of the federal troops!

  If not the Charter Bureau found out what the cattiness role, which that named Yufeng mechanic had played in this big explosion in the end, and also it was this named Yufeng mechanic who handed all the defense forces deployment to the Empire side… It was afraid of only one thing that the Federation were still enduring in the painful suffering, and didn’t know about where that defeat came from.

  It’s really a damn… No, should died ten thousand times shameless guy. Lake thought in his heart like this, but as a federal soldier, he even thought of that he should arrest this mechanic by himself personally, and then sent him back to the Federation, and brought him to trial in front of tens of billions people. But the somewhat weird thing was… The most beginning accepted secret order from the Ministry of National Defense was to arrest this guy clearly, he could shoot to kill if he were in case in the situation of resistance. But the second day after he arrived above the sky of the East Forest Region, he received a new command again— Put this betrayer to death directly.

  This command was sent from the highest level intelligence channel directly, so Lake didn’t have any doubt, or even didn’t have any thought to resist. He put on the sunglasses, looked at those flashing on the lens pictures and words, and warped up the corners of his mouth slightly.

  The first degree escapee Yufeng, alias Fengyu, hid in a repair shop on the fourth block of the Vanilla Avenue in the West River state capital of the East Forest Region, he lived by repairing the electrical appliances. Lake had his warped up mouth corners straight gradually, the information about this mechanic, he had already known more than enough, his social relationship was also all in the information, but he just had something not understood, this dared to betray his country mechanic, why he would hide in the East Forest Region for more than ten years, but not chose to go to the Empire to enjoy the rest of his life.

  Confirmed the last time where the location this mechanic was in the East Forest Region, Lake turned his body around slowly and spoke to more than ten squad members behind his back coldly and detachedly, “All the social relationships of the target are all under the monitoring of the East Forest police, what we need to do is… To kill him.”

  “Yes, sir.” The more than ten squad members replied agilely, that made the whole cabin to reverberate a share of killing meaning. Lake took off his sunglasses, pressed on the transmitter in his hand, a stream of radio wave was sent to the East Forest Region. From this moment on, the police general office of the East Forest Region would begin to clear away the outskirts, the East Forest local garrison would have the direct order from the Ministry of National Defense and coordinate with the action of their this group secretly.

  “Don’t underestimate your opponent, the information you are reading now is not complete, this named Yufeng mechanic never achieved straight A’s in the Second Military Academy, but… That’s because he’s not a student at all! He is the first military instructor of the Military Academy without any learning experience in history!” Lake looked coldly at his those subordinates who were reading the information about the target for the first time, and he said maliciously, “the Federation dispatched one hundred scouts to arrest him in those days, but still let him slipped away. If anyone of you dared to be careless, I would shoot you to death directly by myself.”

  After he finished these words, he walked to in front of those green military tarpaulins, took a deep breath, exerted himself to open the tarpaulin, and revealed underneath those strange configuration but full of metal killing smell… Mechas!

  “Set out.”

  …………

  The coffee shop around the corner was playing the soothing piano music, the smiling all over the face to the extent so that the eyes were almost disappeared Sheilor, strolled on the Bell Tower Street accompanied with the tune, and he called the neighbors friendly at the same time. It really should be called stroll this word, because his tiptoes seemed to jump in some kind of dance, it’s totally not like his previous that sincere and honest appearance.

  The time had already passed two years, there was nothing changed for the lives of the East Forest Region residents, the coffee shop didn’t have any change, the bar didn’t have any change, it seemed to leave no any traces on this city by the elapse of time. However, Sheilor had already changed a lot, he was the same as that purple hair little girl who was in the faraway Capital Planet Circle, they were all grown up two years. Only the fans of the whole Federation would pay attention to Jane Sue’s birthday, but Sheilor’s growth, nobody would be concerned with.

  Besides himself, in these two years, he was in the wake of the repair shop boss, learnt the knowledge about the machine maintenance aspect, brought countless books back from the state university to enrich his own brain, stood the “horse stance” every night, leaped with the stiff dance, even the slowness like him would also know, his own body now was getting more and more like the first machine in Fengyu’s mouth, more and more… Obeying his own command.

  In the last two years, the residents of the Bell Tower Street and the Vanilla Avenue all knew that there was a kind-hearted, honest, studious and laborious youngster in the repair shop, but Sheilor himself didn’t have any special feeling, he just lived his life honestly, usually he would give his hand whenever the neighbors needed some helps. But the reason why he was so happy today, that’s because for the sergeant recruiting examination of the Ministry of National Defense, he had already passed the writing exam successfully, and had entered into the second round of the recruiting process. He just drank some black market beers with Levi to celebrate for this.

  Once he thought of that he could join the army, get into the Capital Planet Circle to study,
Sheilor felt that he had one step closer to his ideal life, so he had the rare pleasure and showed it out. He then saw an old man who was afraid of the sparse traffic, so he just let the nature take its course to go forward to hold the arms of him.

  “Let me carry you to the other side.” Sheilor said with a smile.

  And then he walked across the street, in the alley to the repair shop, he found that he put himself into the danger.

  A group of wearing standard helmets, dressing in dark color silk ceramic body armors, and arming whole body soldiers surrounded him completely, a share of horrific iron-blood smell appeared extremely soul-stirring in the quiet environment.

  The dark, spooky and hard gun barrels aimed at Sheilor’s head, one of the closest that one poked on his temple directly, it made him felt extremely painful.
