Mecha Hurricane

Chapter 27 The Knife of Gratitude

"No way, I don't have to go to Paradise Island to recuperate for a few days, and then you can send me to Star 52 when everything is healed?" Xia Yi looked at a corporal who came to pick her up and asked in confusion.

The corporal just came here under orders, and any arrangements were made by the superiors, so he said: "No, there happens to be a mining ship going back to No. 52, so I arranged for the sergeant to take this back."

"Is it so urgent?" Xia Yi was really speechless. When he sent himself away, he didn't say how many days it would take to arrive. The paradise island full of lakes is just below, so you have to let yourself recover from your injuries by the artificial beach for a few days.

"Yes, Star 52 is in a hurry. If we leave today, we can arrive in 7 days. According to the original time, it is still a few days late." The corporal explained.

Xia Yi looked at him a little confused, "When did you say there was a time limit? Why didn't I know?"

"The transfer we found stated that the transfer time is 90 days. In fact, if you jump here directly, you still have a few months to play. But you chose to take a very slow merchant ship, and you also met Melas People from the Emperor Star, so even if we set off now, it will be two days too late." The corporal checked the star network again, and it was indeed written on the transfer information that the time was 90 days. You must reach Star 52 within 90 days. Any unreasonable delay will be treated as a deserter and all identity information will be blocked.

He also told Xia Yi that the ore ship would set sail in two hours, and it would be troublesome if it was delayed again.

"I really can't stand these people, let's go." Xia Yi now only blames himself for not watching the deployment carefully. If the admiral hadn't come to see him off in person, but had seen clearly that he could choose his own way, he would never have taken that broken business road. ship. But to think about it differently, if I hadn't been on this merchant ship, I wouldn't have been promoted to sergeant. Sure enough, when good things pass, bad things happen, and bad things may also bring good luck.

And I can take a free vacation for one month every year. I will check if I have time to see if this vacation benefit can be used on any resort star. Xia Yi followed the corporal, carrying his bag and walking slowly. There were still many wounds on her body that had not healed, and it would hurt if she walked too fast. The corporal did not rush her because she had enough time anyway.

Because Xia Yi knew Bonita from the Destroyer battleship and knew no other soldiers coming and going except her. There was no one to say goodbye to, so he went directly to the space station along the access module.

This giant space station is like two pancakes strung on a stick. The smaller pancake on top is the control area of ​​the space station, and the surface is smooth without too many concave and convex areas. Below is the ship area which is three times as big as it. There are 52 two-way traction areas protruding into space, just like a blooming chrysanthemum.

There are a lot of ships coming in and out, almost all of which are commercial ships. This is not a safe resort. People from the surrounding mineral stars who want to come here for vacation can just take a cargo ship. Cargo ships of all sizes parked next to the space station and were slowly towed to the towing area by tractor beams.

The access module is then connected to the towing area, and people and cargo can begin entering the space station. When leaving, the tractor beam is also moved to a safe place, and then flies away on its own.

Xia Yi and Corporal stood on the walking belt of the space station, looking at the busy traction area outside the window. The walking belt took them to the ship on its own. The space station is so big that walking alone is a waste of time. Walking belts surround each traction area. You can go to any traction area just by standing on it.

The corporal took her to towing area 11 and stopped at the access hatch No. 7. Through the large window, Xia Yi saw a 200-meter-long small transport ship parked outside the access hatch. The shape is bulky and heavy, like a big turtle shell and very ugly. Cargo is usually transported in and out from the cargo inlet below, and sometimes it is directly docked and transported in the air. This transport ship has delivered all the ores to the large transport ship.

Xia Yi looked outside curiously. There was a giant transport ship with a length of 3,000 meters in the distance. Small transport ships from various mineral stars surrounded it and continuously transported the ore on board. After emptying the cargo hold, these cargo ships will go to the space station to buy some daily necessities, or bring back some fuel necessities.

The transport ship that Xia Yi was going to board was also loading cargo, and there were also many miners carrying their purchased items into the induction cabin and boarding the ship.

"Xia Yi!" Just as she was about to board the ship, someone suddenly shouted from behind.

Xia Yi looked back and saw that the captain of the Lida was rushing over with a long box in his arms. He was walking at a slow speed, so it could be seen that he had been running all the way. She asked curiously: "Captain, what's the matter?"

"Finally we caught up. I went over to look for you just now, but they said you had left. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it in time, so I ran over, but luckily I caught up." The captain said with sweat on his head and his breathing was a little rapid.

"Captain, you should exercise more. Even if you run like this on such a short distance, your physical fitness is too poor." Xia Yi said with a smile.

The captain said angrily: "You can't say anything nice, I'm here to give you this." Then he threw the long box in his hand to Xia Yi.

"What is this?" Xia Yi caught the box and asked curiously.

"You saved everyone's lives. This is a thank you gift that everyone pooled their money to buy for you. All the money was given to me. I helped pick this gift. It should be suitable for you." The captain explained.

Xia Yi didn't expect that she would receive a gift for what she had done. She opened the box with some anticipation, and what was revealed inside immediately stunned her.

"This is..." Inside the box is not a dress or a gem, the kind of things girls like, but a 1-meter-long narrow knife. The black handle has a bright silver blade underneath. The blade is only 2 fingers wide. The black scabbard without any patterns is beside it. The simple shape is very clean and neat.

"We have collected a total of 100,000 nada coins. I originally wanted to give it to you directly, but I thought it would insult you. So I proposed to give you a gift to express your feelings. This knife is made of grain silver alloy. I didn't pick something fancy for you. Instead, I chose the one with the simplest shape but the best blade material. After all, you are using it to kill people, not to show off." Although the price of that knife is not too high, it is already used to kill people. Top-grade materials, better materials are only available in the military. The captain felt that Xia Yi would be satisfied, and she probably wouldn't like things that were encrusted with gems.

Xia put the box on the ground and picked up the knife. The smooth blade illuminated her face. She held it in her hand and looked at it. She smiled and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

She was not polite at all. If she had to buy such a good knife by herself, she would have to save up for a long time. And this is what everyone wants. They have bought everything. If you don’t accept it, it will be useless for others to take it back. Xia Yi didn't ask for the box. He just put the knife in the scabbard and put it on the backpack.

"Captain, thank you for your gift. If there is a chance, let's meet again in the future." She smiled happily. The quality of the kitchen knife could not be compared with this knife. At that time, with this knife, he might have killed not more than 30 people, but hundreds of people.

Xia Yi said goodbye to the captain, carried this very expensive knife on her back, directly verified her identity and boarded the transport ship. She was originally a soldier stationed on Star 52, so she didn't have to pay. She just had to scan her iris and get on the ship. Other civilians have to enter their citizen password, so it is more convenient for her to use her military identity.

This voyage was uneventful. Seven days later, Xia Yi arrived at the No. 52 Colonial Mineral Planet where he was located. It was the winter of the ephemeris. It didn’t feel cold in space, but it was different on the planet. . The location of the colonial stars determines their climate. They are far away from the nearest stars. When the sunlight comes, there is not much temperature, so it is usually very cold even in winter.

Moreover, there is no water or air here, and the gravity is still twice that of Nada. The entire colonial star looks dry and cold. The blue color emerges from the rock and soil like crystal, and power crystal blocks that are more than ten meters high are covered in the entire colony of No. 52. These crystal blocks are the raw materials for making hn military power crystal blocks.

On the entire colonial planet, there are only machines and mines, and there is no life at all. The only vitality is the mining machines that work non-stop, and the transport ships that transport ore.

"What a broken place!" Xia Yi looked at the base below. It covered an area of ​​almost 5 kilometers and was almost completely occupied by various mining machines and transport ships. Moreover, the rough power crystal blocks were constantly being slowly pulled over by the flat-cabin suspension ship, loaded onto the ship, and transported to the Giant Space Station, where they were transferred to the ship and then pulled to various locations in Nada.

There was not even a human figure outside, except for robots, which were mechanical arms. Looking at the base lying on the ground like a dead starfish, Xia Yi was really disappointed with this place. It is indeed a place to hang out. Except for the one-month vacation, you can only be locked up in the base at other times.

Entering the base, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the base was ugly on the outside, it was well-equipped inside. There is also an artificial botanical garden built in the middle, where you can finally see some plants. Moreover, the temperature outside has reached minus 50 degrees, but the temperature inside the base has been maintained at a constant temperature of 26 degrees, which makes people feel very comfortable.

But Xia Yi didn't even see the commander in charge of Star 52. He was taken directly to a room to hand over the transfer, and then was stuffed into an interstellar Tuoye armored vehicle that could seat ten people. A military cold-proof coat was thrown on her body, and an uncle in his 40s with a fierce look on his face and smelling of alcohol got into the car and walked out of the base directly onto the bumpy ground.

"Sir, why are you driving a car instead of a ship?" Although it wasn't cold inside and the coat was of no use, there were too many holes on the ground and Xia Yi's butt didn't stop on the seat for more than three seconds. Seeing that the uncle driving the car had the rank of lieutenant, she asked politely.

The lieutenant smelled of alcohol and said without looking back: "There is no place to park the ship at Base 22, and there is no induction cabin. How can we jump from the sky when we go there by ship? We can get there in one day. I wasted 2 days waiting for you."

"They actually sent a lieutenant to pick me up. This treatment is too good." Xia Yi asked puzzledly. She thought the lieutenant was just along the way, so she took her with her. After all, she was used to sailing with the wind along the way. .

"You brat! I'm your captain, Nairn!" Lieutenant Nairn cursed.

Xia Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Lieutenant as captain?" This military department is crazy. Moreover, when the captain came to pick someone up, he didn’t even know the gender. It was too unreliable.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yiyi had to say: "Captain, I am a woman. It is already written in the information."

"I know, you think I'm blind! You actually gave me a woman. I have never led a female soldier, and my habits are the same regardless of whether I listen or not. New recruits like you are brats!" Nairn and Ben ignored this. The problem is, it doesn’t matter whether they are men or women, they are all garbage anyway.

Xia Yi looked at the vulgar captain and thought only that the captain was so virtuous. It seemed that his comrades were probably not good men anymore.
