death of hope

Chapter 138 "Corporate Warrior" (54) Stalker

On the radio, the voice of the stewardess was gentle and pleasant:
"ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to Starport New Brisbane, please set your clocks to 16:31.

Next, please queue up and down the ladder according to the serial number, pay attention to civilization, and don't be crowded.

Please go to Terminal [-] for meals, rest, and luggage collection.

Please go to Terminal [-] for medical examination, application for various procedures, immigration and travel, etc.

Thank you for taking this flight,
On behalf of all employees of Pyramid Airlines, I wish you a pleasant journey and look forward to your next visit! "

In order to guard against the threat of the ever-present alien fleet, the New Brisbane Starport has both civilian and military functions. This is an astonishingly huge project. It took decades, and a large hole thousands of meters deep was dug out of the ground. The defense level Enough to rival a large military fortress.

Surrounded by laser cannons and anti-aircraft missiles, the entire building complex is shrouded in an armored shell, covered with an energy shield force field, which can resist the orbital bombing of the enemy fleet.

As soon as the passengers leave the flight, they are placed in the huge spaceship hangar, with all kinds of spaceships parked beside them.
Commercial passenger ships, luxury cruise ships, container cargo ships, heavy mining ships, engineering exploration ships... can't be seen at a glance,
The most eye-catching thing is the No.17 Fleet of the Federal Navy stationed here for a long time, with 23 starships, the largest of which is the battlecruiser "Divine Grace", which is 450 meters long and can accommodate [-] naval personnel Soldiers, from a distance, are as spectacular as hills.

The passengers took pictures of the battleship, and some military fans wanted to watch it up close, but they were politely discouraged by the federal navy soldiers.

"Sir, this is a major federal military base, please keep your distance."

Captain Marcus Lynch didn't take pictures to join in the fun. No matter what kind of big scene he had seen when he was serving in the Marine Corps, he didn't go to pick up his luggage, but walked to the second terminal with ease. building.

He doesn't carry bulky trolley suitcases like everyone else, just a faux leather backpack emblazoned with the McMillan company logo.

Wearing a coffee-colored cotton-linen sweater with a hood, loose jeans with frayed edges, a khaki-colored cartoon-embroidered baseball cap, black soft-soled casual shoes, and a plastic bottle hanging from his belt packaged distilled water,

His deep, melancholy eyes were covered by the brim of the hat, and from a distance, except for the scars on his face, he had a beard—he looked like a slovenly, ugly, greasy, big, middle-aged man,
Nobody cared about him except the stalkers.

The follower nodded secretly, thinking:

(It's like my temper, spending time on dressing up? It's a waste of life!

It’s better to learn or exercise to improve yourself if you have that kind of effort. Most girls are willing to be mediocre and dress up like over-decorated vases for those stinky men. I don’t want to be so mediocre... a housewife. )
She looked at Lynch's back and followed far behind.

The two didn't get along for a long time, and the relationship between the superior and the subordinate was not very harmonious.

Even so, Sigdrifa could easily see Lynch's temperament;
In battle, he is a calm and brave fighter, unbelievably good,

But in life, Captain Marcus Lynch is a bachelor with no desires and desires, simple and mediocre to the point of boring.

He is willing to be a rough and rough guy, his desires are simple and easy to satisfy, he is a pragmatist through and through, and it is not surprising that he looks so dirty.

Lynch doesn't care about the quality and style of life - just eat enough and dress warmly,
He is one of the best corporate fighters in the world today, enjoys executive-level treatment, has considerable deposits in four bank accounts, and is a true rich man.
But he didn't even invest in a piece of real estate, he didn't buy a means of transportation, and he couldn't even find a piece of designer clothes.

Anyone who knows him well knows that this is not deliberately low-key, but a kind of elegant indifference,

Like those reclusive writers, poets, street singers and painters who are willing to wander,
In this era of luxury and wealth, most people only look after money, and there are also some free and easy heterogeneous, who consider themselves elegant, and are gradually forgotten and abandoned by mainstream society. Obviously, Lynch is one of them.

His solitary personality greatly reduced his popularity with women. At the prom in college, he was like an invisible man, and no one cared about him. The shortest and fattest girls didn't want to invite him to dance.

Entering the terminal building, the stalker and the stalked keep an unhurried distance, so as not to be discovered, but also not to be thrown off by Lynch's big strides.

(Familiar with it, I'm a genius, a spy.)
Sigdrifa thought narcissistically.

In order to keep up with the goal, she followed suit and went into battle lightly.

Carrying a worn-out canvas bag, he didn't bring anything in it except toiletries and a few pieces of personal clothing, and he didn't have any makeup or jewelry.It was in stark contrast to the other fashionable female passengers carrying large bags and small bags.

When passing the inspection post, an airport security recognized Lynch, who was his subordinate during his service in the Marine Corps. He was injured in the battle and returned to social work after recovery.

It was inconvenient to chat at the post, and the security guard and Lynch exchanged federal military salutes. The greetings of the veterans were so quiet and forceful, which attracted the stalkers deeply.

Sigurdriefa cast an envious look from afar:

(This guy usually looks cold and ruthless, but he is so popular, he is full of acquaintances everywhere, and they all respect him...)
What happened after that was completely beyond her expectations,

Along the way, Sigdrifa attracted thousands of times more eyes than Lynch, and was forced to stop after walking a few steps.

There will always be strangers stopping to take pictures and videos of her, even asking for her autograph, and travelers are guessing which big star she is coming to New Brisbane for vacation,
The mysterious attire of cloak, headscarf, mask and sunglasses is simply the standard equipment for stars to avoid paparazzi, coupled with her height and graceful figure,
Broad shoulders and thin waist, fit body.Looks like the top runway brands, those stunning supermodels at Victoria's Secret.

"Excuse me... are you Miss Ruth? I am your fan! Please sign me!"

"I'm sorry, you misidentified the person, I'm just a company employee who came on vacation, not a XX star!"

She had to explain one by one, and refused to sign, feeling very annoyed:

(These groupies and paparazzi are really annoying... No wonder those big stars have to disguise themselves when they go out, for fear of being recognized.)
