I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 77

From the window of the main control room, several small single-seat airships can be seen jetting out from the ship's ground. Thinking of his own fleet plundering away, Lin Jian felt relieved. Maggie and the others should be out of danger. up.To be honest, there are not many people who can fight at the civil waterway patrol, and even small-scale ship operations are difficult for them. This place can be regarded as a paradise for all kinds of unqualified people in the army.Brandt might be able to rule it out, though.

The sound of heavy footsteps was already heard in the passage outside the door, Lin Jian flew to hide behind the door, and pulled out the energy stick from behind.This is the latest light combat weapon configured by the Marine Corps, which Morris gave her.Compared with the tomahawk, the energy stick is light in weight and easy to carry, which is very suitable for women.What's more, after the energy stick is unfolded, it will immediately be coated with a layer of heavy ion energy ripples. It functions a bit like an electric baton, and it will cause shock immediately after touching it.

Listening to the footsteps coming from outside the door, Lin Jian carefully judged the number of people, it should be three or four people.Holding the energy stick tightly with both hands, and slightly raising it above his head, Lin Jian held his breath.

"Boom!" The electronic lock of the main control room was completely melted by the particle gun, and the door was kicked open vigorously.

The burly man who rushed in first opened his eyes wide and fell down in disbelief before he had time to see the situation in the main control room clearly, and his slumped body successfully blocked the people behind him.But at the same time, Lin Jian's original plan to kill the two of them was shattered.

And the few people behind the man who fell to the ground obviously also found the person hiding behind the door, and their panicked voices immediately rang out, "Be careful, there is an ambush! The idiot Luther has been killed."

But their panic didn't last long, they didn't care about the person who fell to the ground, they even stepped on the person's body and rushed into the main control room.

Lin Jian quickly left the door, turned around and hid behind the rows of consoles in the middle of the main control room, and turned off the lights in the main control room.The main control room was completely dark, and the bandit-like guys started to panic again.Lin Jian twitched the corners of her mouth, and with this quality, she still learned from the Marine Corps to land a ship. She was alone. If all the control personnel on this ship belonged to the regular army, they would have been wiped out 800 years ago.

In the darkness, only the faint light of the lights on the ships gathered outside the window remained. Lin Jian leaned against the cold console, put on the small infrared glasses hidden in the room, and held his breath, waiting for the other party to approach .

"White, can't you fucking turn that goddamn light on?"

The guy named White obviously didn't know the location of the light switch in the control room. The lighting in the main control room of the ship Lin Jian was on belonged to the inner wall lighting system, and the switch was also touch-sensitive. It was almost impossible to find the switch in the darkness. completed tasks.

"It's a waste!" Someone cursed in the darkness. The guy who was released just after entering made the group of people vigilant. A beam of light flashed in the darkness, and someone turned on the wrist light.The moment the light came on, Lin Jian rolled on the spot, and the energy stick instantly became longer. Borrowing the momentum of his body, the energy stick swept towards the direction of the light.Just in an instant, accompanied by a scream, the height of the wrist lamp suddenly decreased. After the sound of crashing, only the light of the wrist lamp was seen sweeping the ground shakingly, shining a shallow light, leaving a large area. shadow.

"It seems that there are still such people in this small civil waterway patrol? I thought there was only one Brant here!" After another blow, the room fell silent for an instant, and Lin Jian changed his position to hide.After the silence, this sinister voice was heard.

Just as Lin Jian was thinking about what to do next, the lights in the control room turned on brightly.Lin Jian, who was wearing infrared glasses, was instantly blinded by the light. After quickly taking off the glasses and trying to adapt to the light, Lin Jian found that he had been pointed at his head by a particle gun.The guy standing in front of her with a smug smile was a tall guy.This person looks quite thin, and even distinct bones can be seen on the face, so that it looks like a moving human skeleton.Behind him at this moment stood two distraught men.There were two other people lying on the ground, they were the guys who were attacked by Lin Jian before.

"You took control of the power room?" Although Lin Jian was pointed at the head by the particle gun, Lin Jian didn't feel much panic. The purpose of these people boarding the ship was to be hostages, so she is not afraid of being shot by these guys at the moment.

"You are so brave!" The human skeleton snorted triumphantly. When he spoke, he spoke with a strong foreign accent, which made Lin Jian sound very awkward. She also talked with the students of the Federation during the school competition before. Looking at the tone of the person in front of him, it seems to have a unique accent of the Federation.

After the main control room resumed its functions, the human skeleton didn't get too entangled with Lin Jian. After signaling to the two people behind him to take care of Lin Jian, he went straight to the console and began to operate it skillfully.

Not long after, Lin Jian saw Brandt's gloomy face appearing on the electronic crystal screen in front of the main console.

Lin Jian stood behind and saw Brandt glanced at her, she shrugged at him, expressing that she had tried her best.

"It's been a long time, Captain Brant, it looks like you're living a pretty good life here." Gaining the upper hand, the man who looked like a human skeleton was even in the mood to chat with Brant, "Life is not easy for us little people. , how can you military people who spend their days with taxpayers' money easily understand that you don't take away the benefits of those smuggling ships, how about letting us go there today? We don't lose the benefits we usually have You half."

Hearing the sarcasm of the human skeleton, Brant also showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "How I live is my business, even if I don't look very good here now, it's better than where you live. Escorting the smuggling ship is much better, Bondlenki. Besides, I know what kind of people I should let go and who I can't let go. No matter what, you don't want to pass here today!" In the end, Brandt's face showed a trace of ruthlessness.

Lin Jian watched silently as Brant said the angry words, but at the moment when Bondlenki in front of him lowered his head to think, he saw Brant looking at him and frowning slightly expression.With a heartbeat, Lin Jian continued to stand there calmly, but began to calculate the current situation in his mind.

This guy named Bondrenky seems to be an old acquaintance with Brant, and the two standing behind him should be his subordinates.If Bondrenkey can be restrained, maybe the situation can be turned around.

Brandt's words obviously irritated Bondrenche, who was angry at Brandt's performance of ignoring the hostages.After thinking for a while, Bondlenky pulled Lin Jian behind him to the front, pointing the particle gun in his hand at Lin Jian's temple.

In the process of pulling, Lin Jian suddenly grabbed Bonderenki's arm with both hands, and leaned back abruptly.During the sudden change, Bond even fired a shot in a panic. Lin Jian leaned back to avoid the particle beam. Even though the particle beam hit the wall of the control room, the light-sensitive wall instantly dimmed.

Then in the posture of leaning back, Lin Jian kicked Bonderenki's neck fiercely with his left foot, and the neck was severely injured. Even bent down.Lin Jian turned over and quickly moved to the opponent's left, and snatched the opponent's particle gun.In this split second, the positions of both sides changed from the beginning to the end.Pulling the skeleton-like Bondelench who was still unable to straighten his back, Lin Jian leaned his back against the wall and looked at the remaining two, saying in a deep voice, "Don't move around, or I'll shoot his head off with one shot."

The two of them had been stunned for a long time because of the previous incident, and now they saw Bondlenki being pointed at the head by the other party, and they were even more at a loss for a while.They were originally employed by Bondlenki, and their job was only to escort the fleet to the Galactic Empire, and they had no further friendship with Bondlenky and the fleet.At this moment, if you stand up and resist, you may be beaten into a sieve by the swarming imperial soldiers, and you may even be thrown into the vast interstellar. months in jail.Thinking of this, the two threw the guns in their hands to the ground, expressing that they would not resist.

The fanfare of the encirclement and suppression work came to an end under such circumstances. The officers and soldiers who had just stood beside Brandt and looked at their chief with a livid face also saw the scene of Lin Jian snatching the gun before. Come to yourself.

The celebration party had come to an end, and Lin Jian walked out of the small cafeteria at the civil waterway patrol with a bottle of wine in his hand. The sky was clear and quiet. Most of the time, the fortress was artificially made to look like a clear sky at night.Although it was artificially created, in Lin Jian's eyes, this starry sky is actually the same as it was thousands of years ago.

Thinking of today's date, Lin Jian remembered that today is actually the first anniversary of her coming to this world.

Not far away, in the small two-story building in the civil waterway patrol office, it seemed that someone was having a drink with Yue, Lin Jian smiled.It was discovered that Brant sneaked out of the cafeteria by himself just now, and it turned out that he was pretending to be elegant here.Thinking of the first time she saw this guy, he was sweating and waving his fists, and his mouth was full of obscenities, she really couldn't imagine that he still had such a lonely time.Just thinking about Brant's past that her father told her before, Lin Jian felt a little sad.This guy also has a bitterness that cannot be exposed to outsiders.

Brant sat on the ground, leaning against the huge satellite receiver casing, his two slender legs flaring on the ground.He looked up at the starry sky, his face was a little dark.He held a wine bottle tightly in his right hand, and beside him, several empty wine bottles were stumbling around.

This is what Lin Jian saw when he walked up to the platform on the second floor.

She didn't speak, but walked quietly to his side, leaning on the satellite receiver, and sat down.

The Milky Way simulated by the artificial star map looks so clear that sitting on the roof seems to be within reach.

In this boundless starry universe, there is no one like her.It is said that after the prosperity, there is only one place left, and after the excitement, you will feel unprecedented loneliness.

"Man, why are there times when you are weak?" Lin Jian asked in a low voice unconsciously, hating this moment of weakness.

"Facing the starry sky, people will feel their own insignificance, and they will develop a weak heart." After a while of silence, Brant whispered.

"How can it be overcome?"

"I can't overcome it. It is precisely because of fear that I will continue to become stronger."

"What if you are tired? What if you can't find your way?"

"Then build a house in your heart, it can let you rest, and it can also point you in the direction. 'Weak' people have a house in their hearts, and there are some people living in it that you can rely on."

Lin Jian turned to look at Brant's profile. He was still squinting, looking at the boundless starry sky above his head.She shook her head and smiled, "I didn't expect you to say such a thing. I have been forcing myself not to learn to be dependent. I always feel that if I get used to being dependent, people will become weak. Could it be that I turned all this upside down?" Is it gone?"

"You're right to think so. After all, people live in different environments. Let's not talk about this. Your Excellency the Commander came to talk to me this afternoon. I'm curious now. The youngest daughter of the general's family is said to have the most powerful person in the empire." Brother of the young general, why are you going this way? From what I heard from His Excellency the Commander, it seems that he doesn’t want you to enter the military.” Ending the topic of weakness, Brandt ended the half-dead state just now, and straightened up Lai turned his head to look at Lin Jian, and there was actually some playful exploration between the words.

"I just think this road is very suitable for me." Hearing Brant's words, Lin Jian smiled, and didn't answer in depth. They didn't have such a deep friendship to let her speak more deeply. It's perfunctory, but she really likes this road.
