Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 146 The Expedition Begins

In fact, Jiatu had no similar ideas when he just graduated.

In his previous life, he was a decent person, he never even thought about it.

But such is the vibe of the sanctuary.

In the first year after graduation, the marriage and childbirth rate of explorers was the highest. In the second year, no matter which corps they belonged to, they had to come back to participate in the "Great Expedition" organized by the third corps. At that time, the casualties If the rate exceeds 50%, no matter how good a explorer is, there is no guarantee that he will survive.

So in the two years before graduation to the Great Expedition, explorers will seize the time to find the opposite sex they like and get married.

There is no such thing as puppy love or having children after marriage in the shelter, only polygamy or polyandry is prohibited-at least until both parties accept the separation, only one-on-one relationships are allowed.

Because of Bika, Jiatu didn't intend to participate in this "flowering period" among the explorers.

It's a pity that An Jie's contact with him was too tight. Coupled with the fact that both parties were at the age of surging blood, it was easy to cross the last red line.

After initially realizing what he had done, Jiatu still had some psychological pressure, but as time went on, he also accepted this relationship more and more——

After all, he personally issued the oracle to the tree wolf clan to "have more children".

Consider the situation in the refuge, maybe it's similar to the tree wolf clan.

Even because he ended his training life and was not assigned to work in the tree wolf world, he rarely had the chance to meet Bika.

Over time, he gradually downplayed his relationship with Bika——

After all, it was the next time between him and Bika, and he still doesn't quite know why Bika chose him.

On the contrary, it was the reason why An Jie chose him, he knew very well——

Because the relationship between young people is so simple and pure.

"Adolescence... I almost forgot that the normal form of human desire should be like this..."

Jiatu gently sniffed the fragrance of Anjie's hair, and was extremely satisfied with the current relationship.

In the most passionate period, to find a girl he likes and also likes himself is the greatest cure for him.

Moreover, he could also feel that with the establishment of his relationship with Anjie, his recognition of Sanctuary and others was also rapidly increasing——

At least now he would consider what would happen to An Jie if he left him.

And Noah, Wei Wei and the others.

Although they don't have close friends in the team, after returning to the shelter, there are a lot of unselected students waiting for them——

As a explorer, it is self-evident in the training school that he has the priority of spouse.

So Wei Wei looked at him and An Jie with ambiguous eyes, but not much jealousy.

Although the black wolf girl is cute, both Wei Wei and Noah prefer plumper ones.

After finishing their rotation at the outpost, Jiatu and the others returned to the refuge.

Wei Wei, Noah, and Tajima disappeared almost immediately——

Stimulated by Anjie and Jiatu a few days ago, they all held back their anger, and now that they returned to the refuge, they almost immediately went to find their partner of the opposite sex who had already established a relationship.

And Jiatu took Anjie back to the residence on the sixth floor——

After he and Hena both graduated as trainees, the expedition team also arranged for Hera and Heda to live on the sixth floor. In this regard, the resources of the shelter are still sufficient.

The third team that Hena and Warren belonged to was still on mission and did not come back.

Jiatu took the time to visit the research institute, and found that without the exoskeleton, he still couldn't win against "Thousand Wrists".

Although it is not impossible to use black love, but after the last attack, "Thousand Arms" has also increased its vigilance. When Jiatu raised his arm, he immediately retreated and waited until he lowered his arm before attacking again——

It is also unknown how it realized that Für Elise was attached to his arm.

As for the tree wolf forest, Jiatu only visited it occasionally, after all, on the surface, he no longer remembered anything about Bika and himself——

Before establishing a relationship with Anjie, he wanted to bring this matter up, but Bika kept avoiding him, and Leng Dao didn't seem to intend to mention it at all, which made Jiatu's preparations in vain.

In the end, he established a relationship with An Jie, and he naturally completely let go of this matter.

After all, it's not that he hasn't experienced "one-night stand" in his previous life.

It's just a little different from his original expectation, so there's not much to say.

As for Hena, she was quite dissatisfied with his relationship with An Jie.

However, compared with other groups, the progress of the third group is relatively slow.

At least Hena, Hua Lun, and Zhi Ti have no intention of finding a "lover".

Hua Lun and Zhi Ti can understand that the relationship between the two childhood sweethearts is indeed complicated.

But why Hena didn't look for it, he just didn't know.

Hera didn't urge him either. He mentioned it once in a while, but Hena beat him up angrily.

inexplicably.

.

However, after being beaten up by Hena, he also realized belatedly that he and Hena were not blood relatives.

Whether the girl is really interested in him, he is not sure.

It's just that the relationship between him and An Jie is established first, so according to the regulations of the refuge, there will naturally be no follow-up development.

This confused him for a while.

But over time, it also became bearish.

After all, the year the trainee just graduated was almost the happiest period in his life.

Rushing with An Jie's ears and temples can make him forget almost all his worries.

An Jie herself is also a temperament without long-term thinking, and the frequency of requests is also very high——

It's just that even though he didn't deliberately use contraception, the girl still didn't get pregnant.

On the contrary, through Xu Yang and Mother of Skyfire, he knew that Bika's shot had hit.

This made him realize that there was probably something wrong with the girl's body.

For this matter, he himself didn't care much.

It's just that according to the regulations of the refuge, female explorers who are not pregnant must participate in the Great Expedition with a very high casualty rate.

This made him worry--

After all, he has confidence in his own situation, but An Jie's strength, compared to Hua Lun and Hena, can only be regarded as upper-middle-class. When the wolf-turning ability of the explorers is generally mature, even Wei Wei is not as good as—— —

Because Anjie is not good at using exoskeletons.

Her complete wolf transformation technique is very useful in the world of the wolf tribe, but after leaving the world of the wolf tribe and arriving at the refuge, she thinks too little, and her habit of fighting and rushing has become her weakness——

After all, artificial intelligence hunting machines cannot be dealt with by relying on slamming and dashing.

Even in Jiatu's view, the place that is really suitable for Anjie, compared to the third corps that needs to face artificial intelligence, is the period when the Nordwar family served as Wendy's maid—that is, the second corps.

Such worries, as Xiaohan approached in the first year, became more and more in Jiatu's thinking.

He has no choice but to increase the frequency of ML with Anjie during a certain period.

"Is this the responsibility...the responsibility of being a husband and father..."

Looking at the black-haired girl who was sleeping soundly beside her, Jiatu quietly got up from the tent.

After establishing a relationship with Anjie, he separated from Hera and the others——

Although it was just a separate tent next to Hera, at least there was an extra layer of privacy and shelter.

At the beginning, he was quite ashamed of the feeling that his "family" knew what he and An Jie were doing, but as he saw and heard more, he also gradually realized that this was the shelter residents with limited space normality.

So besides telling An Jie to keep his voice down as much as possible, he let nature take its course.

An Jie is a relatively quiet kind of child, but when she is in high spirits, she can still cause quite a commotion.

So every time after he and An Jie finished, Hena could be seen blushing, covering Heda's ears and staring at him.

In a sense, it is quite "immoral".

But this is how he and Anjie have lived for the past year.

A year of happiness and growth.

"You're done."

Somewhat unexpectedly, after Jiatu left the tent, Hena was standing beside Hera's tent waiting for her.

There was still a slight flush on her face, and her pinkish-red long hair, which was much neater than a few years ago, was combed straight, and half of her neatly trimmed bangs covered one eye——

It seems that there is quite a temperament of "evil king's true eyes".

However, Jiatu didn't dare to say these words to Hena, and just nodded:

"Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Hena took a deep breath. Compared to a year ago, there was a little strangeness between her and Jiatu, but she was also more used to expressing her thoughts: "Is Anjie still not pregnant?"

"Well, it's probably because she can't get pregnant anymore, but she thinks there's nothing wrong with it—she doesn't want to leave me, and she's also a little afraid of children."

"Well... so what are you going to do?"

Hena looked at Jiatu with one eye, with a slight blush on her cheeks:
"The death rate of lovers during the expedition is very high... Do you want to come to our third group? It is a good thing for you and her to be separated from Anjie."

"Without me, who will be the main attacker and full-time support for the first team?"

Jiatu shook his head and said with a smile, "This is unrealistic."

"..."

Hena gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut.

"Don't worry."

Jiatu took the initiative to speak: "I've already considered it. If she is really in danger, I will give priority to protecting her. You don't have to worry that we will lose sight of the other, and both of us will die in the end."

"...do you remember what you said to me a year ago?"

Hena was silent for a while, and asked back: "A self-centered person?"

"That was the time after all..."

Jiatu couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: "But I'm a husband and a father after all now?"

"An Jie hasn't given birth to you yet!"

Hena lifted the tent angrily and disappeared from Jiatu's sight.

Kato sighed.

It was not the first time that such an unsatisfactory conversation had happened between him and Hena.

But he really became a "father" after all.

The truth of this sentence can neither be told to An Jie, nor can it be revealed to Hena.

And it is impossible for him to take care of An Jie, Bika and her children for a lifetime.

Therefore, he can only hope that the shelter will get better.

He must find a way to make the "Great Crusade" an unprecedented victory.

.

The "Great Crusade" of the Sanctuary occurs every three years.

During the two years, the so-called "expedition" by the residents of the refuge was just an ordinary delivery of goods.

The "expedition" in the year when Jiatu and the others first became trainees was in charge of the First Corps.

Now is their first year as an official explorer, and it is also the second year since they became trainees.

In order to prepare for next year's "Great Expedition", all the trainees of the [-]th class, including Yin Xian, who were assigned to the First Corps, returned to the Third Corps, preparing to complete their missions for the Second Corps. "Expedition" missions.

This is Jiatu's first "expedition", so everyone is very nervous.

Although they had already experienced a major war in the tree wolf world, it was the first time for Jiatu and the others to leave the third defense circle and go to the "ground world".

It's not the "Monument of Life", it's not the "outpost", and it's not the "Skyfire Forest".

But the real "outside".

Jiatu, who has already accumulated a lot of training knowledge, knows exactly what kind of restricted area it is——

Even everything about there needs to be "exchanged" by the explorers with their lives.

.

"Then let's go..."

The departure date of the expedition.

Jiatu and the others bid farewell to Hera and the others who came to see them off.

In just two years, Jiatu's height surpassed Hera's by a head.

The adoptive mother, who looked tall before, is now just a short, thin woman.

But looking at Jiatu, Hena and Anjie, Hera was full of worries and worries, but she still wanted to send them off with a forced smile in front of Heda——

"Come back safely... come back safely..."

Jiatu put on the thickened closed mask for cold protection, and hugged Hera vigorously.

Then get out of the way, let Hena, Anjie and Hera say goodbye in turn——

During the year Anjie lived in Hera's house, the relationship between Anjie and Hena was not normal, but the relationship with Hera was not bad.

Hera is a character who can treat everyone as her own son, so Anjie feels strong maternal instinct in her.

Coupled with the time spent together with Jiatu, her originally surly personality softened a lot.

In addition, her original character is very emotional, so when facing Hera's farewell, she was the only one among the three who shed tears.

Seeing that Anjie was about to cry, Jiatu reconfirmed that if it wasn't for her past family experience, Anjie would not be suitable to be a explorer.

"Maybe this is fate..."

Looking at the bitter air coming from outside the refuge door which was slowly opened as the supply truck started, Jiatu took a deep breath.

The heat converted from Moko's energy, accompanied by the atomized robot inhaled into his lungs, slowly filled his whole body.

He waved goodbye to Hena, and rushed towards the first group with An Jie.

Unlike the third team belonging to the Yinwenwu Squadron, Jiatu's bosses were still Sun Simiao and Wu Ning.
