Chapter 78
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
When Rong Qiu received Rong Qin’s call, he was repairing mecha in front of the mecha.
From receiving Qin Muye’s order until now, Rong Qiu had been stationed in the newly built base for more than ten days. During these days, he buried himself in mecha modifications every day, and without any reservation. Now, the mecha in front of him had undergone several modifications by him continuously, and its speed had been maximized. Many hidden gun output points were added. Zhao Nanchen was also a mecha enthusiast. After test-flying the mecha modified by Rong Qiu, he was extremely excited.
“Brother Little Qiu, I want one too! I want one too!”
With pliers in his mouth, Rong Qiu’s voice overflowed with air from his lips, “Sure, but you have to wait until after this mission.”
“When can we finally take action?” Zhao Nanchen was bored to death. During this period, he had been looking at topographic maps every day. But he couldn’t believe that there were countless pirates hidden in this area, and the harsh rainforest environment bred countless venomous creatures. He would swell for three hours if he went out for five minutes. The mosquitoes here were too voracious.
With three big bumps on his head, Zhao Nanchen dared not scratch them anymore, so he could only be depressed, “I’m almost wasted. Besides being able to drive Little Brother Qu’s mecha, the chair in the command room has been polished by me.”
Rong Qiu smiled. The beta’s slender arms were covered with a layer of solid and beautiful thin muscles. Whenever Rong Qiu exerted his upper body, the blue veins on his arms would bulge out, not very obvious but just sensual enough.
“Just wait a little longer.”
This was what Qin Muye had instructed him, and Rong Qiu remembered it.
Tightening the last screw on the mecha, Rong Qiu put the screwdriver back into the toolbox in his hand. He clapped his hands, gesturing for Zhao Nanchen to come over, “Alright, go for a test flight now. Pay attention to the speed this time. It’s much faster than before.”
“It’s faster again!” The faster, the happier. Zhao Nanchen immediately agreed, “I’m going to test-fly now!”
Before entering the mecha cockpit, Zhao Nanchen stopped in his tracks, “But Little Brother Qu, why haven’t you been piloting mecha lately?”
“Me?” Rong Qiu was looking at his phone. “I’m waiting for my brother’s call.”
Since the last communication with Qin Muye, Rong Qiu had been waiting for news of Rong Qin’s awakening. He had been carrying his phone with him all this time, afraid of missing his brother’s message by any chance.
He scrolled through Rong Qin’s Moments. The latest post was still Rong Qin admitting carelessness and dropping his keys into the water.
Rong Qin was such a person, whatever he liked, he would post it on his Moments. In the earlier years, Rong Qin’s Moments were all about a certain S-class Alpha, but when Rong Qiu scrolled to the end, all he saw was “The other party has hidden Moments from six months ago.”
Hidden or deleted, only his brother knew.
Rong Qiu closed Rong Qin’s Moments. Zhao Nanchen had already glided into flight. He loved to see the mecha soar into the sky, like a bird breaking free from all constraints, proud and unyielding.
Before he could put his phone back in his pocket, it vibrated incessantly, and the caller ID showed—
Brother Rong Qin.
Rong Qiu stood up abruptly, not waiting for the ringtone to ring for another second, “Brother Rong Qin!”
“Qiu Qiu, it’s me.”
Rong Qiu had so much to say, but he was speechless for a moment, “Is everything okay with Brother? Are you feeling better? What did the doctor say about the test results?”
Rong Qiu’s words were a bit rushed, but to Rong Qin, this was a sign of concern. He gained a well-behaved and considerate little brother after losing a b*stard lover. The heavens were truly kind to him. Thinking of this, Rong Qin, who was originally resentful, seemed to be infused with warmth, and his just awakened body felt incredibly warm: “I’m fine now, but I still can’t engage in vigorous exercise recently. Qiu Qiu, where are you on a mission now?”
Actually, as soon as he woke up, Qin Muye’s people came to see him. After carefully inquiring about his condition and briefly explaining the current situation of the Thirteenth Army District, Rong Qin knew that Rong Qiu had taken over the volunteer army for him.
Although he didn’t agree with Qiuqiu’s actions, now that things had come to this point, Rong Qin had no intention of opposing it again.
Because the people under Qin Muye told him that Qiuqiu was doing very well on the affiliated star, even better than him.
Aside from worrying, Rong Qin was more proud.
His younger brother had grown up into an adult who could face storms alone in a place where he couldn’t see.
But even though he was already a grown child, in Rong Qin’s heart, he was still a brother who needed care.
“I’m on the affiliated star, brother, you stay on U-star and wait for me to come back.”
“I know, even though I’m your brother, why do you always talk like an old man, Qiuqiu?”
“Like an old man?” Rong Qiu licked his lips embarrassedly, “I’m just caring for you, brother.”
“I know, Qiuqiu, you must take good care of yourself over there too. The weather in the main city area is dry, especially in November, the air must be very dry. Qiuqiu, drink more water.”
“Brother…” Rong Qiu was about to say that he was no longer in the Sand City area, but thinking about the secrecy of the current mission, he didn’t say much, just hummed to brush it off.
But Rong Qin was very sensitive, “Qiuqiu, are you hiding something from me?”
“Ah… no, nothing.”
“…” Rong Qin smiled lazily, “If Qiuqiu says there’s nothing, then there’s nothing. My Qiuqiu respects me so much, he wouldn’t hide anything from me, right?”
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Rong Qiu still felt melancholy.
He had never hidden anything from Rong Qin before, this was the first time he hadn’t been honest.
Mainly because his brother Rong Qin was too sharp.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Qiu couldn’t help but sigh silently.
Zhao Nanchen flew a circle and saw his Brother Little Qiu looking into the distance with a serious expression. As soon as Zhao Nanchen got out of the mecha cabin, he immediately straightened his legs and back, “Brother Little Qiu, did I not fly well?”
“?” Understanding Zhao Nanchen’s meaning, Rong Qiu couldn’t help but laugh, “No, just now I received a call from Brother Rong Qin.”
“Brother Rong Qin woke up!!”
“Yeah, he sounded energetic, so he should be fine. By the way, you go back and check the group, there’s a new notice coming.”
***
The new notice mentioned by Rong Qiu referred to the fact that they could finally take action.
The formal army and the volunteer army had been waiting for a long time, just so that the reconnaissance department could determine the approximate location of the sea bandits and achieve precise strikes. And now the response given by the reconnaissance department was that the gathering place of the sea bandits was in the forest 130 kilometers away from them.
“You can set off now.”
At the end of the latest online meeting, the s-rank alpha in front of the screen spoke like this. Although they were on the same planet, everyone present was still separated from the supreme commander by a considerable distance. As soon as the alpha’s voice fell, there was a burst of enthusiastic resonance from Rong Qiu’s side: “Annihilate the sea pirates!”
The noise was getting louder and more shocking.
It wasn’t until Rong Qin’s arrival that the commotion paused.
The meeting was over, and Qin Muye glanced at the screen showing Rong Qiu’s split screen in his mind before closing the video.
The man sat up straight, “Didn’t you just wake up? Why are you here?”
“There’s an urgent matter, watch a video.”
“?”
“You’ll know when you watch it, it’s from your brother.”
None of the responsible persons in the spacious conference room moved, and Rong Qiu realized from the first sentence of the two men’s conversation that Qin Muye hadn’t muted the mic, because although the camera in front of them was dark, the sound of the video played by Rong Qin was particularly clear. Everyone present, whether alpha, beta, or omega, just stood there, listening to the screams coming from their respective earpieces—
“Ah Qin, don’t ignore me!”
“I can’t sleep without you at night!”
“Ah Qin, my glands hurt!”
“Ah Qin, I’m sorry, wuwuwuwu…”
