StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 82

The arched windows facing the mine shaft in the supervisory office of the New Apollowin Mine Industrial Zone are all open. The morning breeze blows in, and the tight curtains and the light yellow tassels on the bookmarks on the bookshelves are swaying.

The gray shattered hair on Augustus's forehead swayed gently, the report paper on the mahogany desk rustled, and the coat and hat were hanging on a branch hanger nearby.

An old record player that Raynor and Harnack scavenged from the New Apollowin Community Fair last week was still working hard. It's a miracle that an antique that existed earlier in the era can still sound today.

Maybe the record player is not as old as the locals say. After all, Renault bought it for scrap metal.

Thinking about it now, although there were two arc tanks and a platoon of resocialized soldiers standing at the gate of the community with guns and live ammunition, Raynor and Harnack were able to walk out of the angry Kel Morian community residents intact, No small miracle in itself.

In the supervisory office, Lisa, wearing the uniform of a medical sergeant major, is cleaning up some collections left by the former Kymerian mining supervisor, including some ores that radiate colorful light but whose uses are unknown, portraits of beauties that conform to the aesthetics of the Kymerian people, and Gold-plated pickaxe.

When she was done, Lisa moved on to hanging up a painting of Augustus' mother and a few caged fencing swords that Augustus himself used to practice fencing - and other ancient combats In order to improve his unsightly melee ability, but the only thing he has used so far is the salted fish stab.

"What is this?" Lisa took out an unpretentious safe from a box.

"The wine from Taiping Island in Tarsonis, I remember correctly, it should be 14 years old. Handle it with care." Augustus looked up.

"As for the safe? It's just a bottle of wine." Lisa put it down gently.

"You don't understand the Mengsk family's love of fine wine, just like the Camerians' love of finding beautiful stones in the mud. As for the safe, it's a tradition." Augustus said: "Just as you like beautiful A skirt is a truth."

"In this world, there are other things besides crabs that can also make people feel happy, such as happiness, satisfaction and sense of accomplishment."

"Well, you're always right." Lisa shook her head. "I haven't touched them in almost two months, and I don't think about that stuff all day. I'm trying to make the other Stuff became everything in my life."

"I'm so happy for you." Augustus put down the pen in his hand again, with a smile on his face: "It seems that the drug rehabilitation has been considered a success so far. I believe that you will no longer need me to supervise you one day. In this way, you You will no longer be subject to those hallucinogenic drugs, and sink into obsession all day long. Lisa, I think your life should belong to you.”

"It's impossible that I can't control myself for the rest of my life. As the doctor said, I'm weak-willed and hopelessly weak-willed." In a place Augustus couldn't see, Lisa's pink lips with lipstick shrunk: " Augustus."

"." Augustus looked at Lisa, waiting for her to continue.

"It still needs supervision." Lisa said in a low voice.

"...You have no confidence in yourself." Augustus was stunned for a moment, thinking what should I say: "If not, after leaving the army, I can hire a few maids to watch over you. "

Something is wrong, this sounds like raising a mistress.

"Of course, I have other ways." Augustus changed his words: "After retiring, do you have any plans?"

"In the future, I don't have any plans for the future." Lisa used to take out a framed photo from Augustus's box. It was a little girl with a silver single ponytail, about ten years old, about the same size. Already high.

"Is that your sister?" she asked.

"Looks like it is." Augustus said uncertainly, "Okay, give it to me."

"And pour me a cup of coffee, will you?"

Augustus still has a lot of work to do, calculating the income of the mine, counting labor costs and transportation costs
After the ceasefire agreement took effect, all offensive plans of the Tyrannian Federation Army have been suspended, and most of the landing troops have returned to the warships staying in the synchronous orbit.

However, Augustus took the initiative to apply to stay in New Apollon, and promised to resume production in the local factory in the shortest possible time, and transport the full amount of Ardian crystals to the Meinhof spaceport.

Originally, no one would have paid attention to the opinions of a small second lieutenant, even though Augustus was already quite famous, whether it was in the small circle of officers of the No.30 [-]rd Ground Assault Division or in the larger civilian class.

Augustus's old boss, Lieutenant Colonel Warfield, would not help him in the matter of applying for the management of the new Apollo Wen factory, because Warfield has always insisted on fairness and justice, and he can tolerate some small problems, but in the case of big right and wrong Always unselfish on issues.

In the end, it was his brother Arcturus who remained in the army for the time being, and an old subordinate named Chuck took over the matter.

Today was the first day when the documents were issued, and Augustus became the manager of a large mine as he wished, a little earlier than his brother.If nothing else, Arcturus, who had just left the army, was driving a space engineering vehicle on a barren planet in the marginal star region to mine and analyze ore.

In addition to the Heavenly Demon Platoon, Augustus also had a resocialization company under his command, and he also commanded the four arc tanks left on the ground.

Inadvertently, these troops were more than enough to maintain law and order, and the main force of Kel Morian did not dare to attack an ordinary mining area at the risk of unilaterally tearing up the ceasefire agreement.

The war has been fought for too long, and both sides need time to recuperate.

As for whether to continue fighting or conclude a peace treaty after that, that is for the two governments to decide.

Although there has been a ceasefire, there are still small frictions in Meinhof. Some officers do not want to die on a planet full of stones and Kelmerians on the eve of the end of the war, which is the main reason why Augustus was able to win this appointment.

The problem brought about by the high proportion of resocialized soldiers has also begun to appear, that is, there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can handle and manage things flexibly.

At this time, some noisy voices suddenly came from outside the window.A smile appeared on Augustus's face. He knew that this was the Kel Morian miner he had hired.

There are many ways to become rich in the Koprulu Sector, but owning ownership of a rare crystal mine is undoubtedly a stepping stone to the upper echelon—whether you sell the ownership or hire someone to mine it.
