"Lipper's body was found, six hundred kilometers away."
Early the next morning, Lin Ran was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Tian Xichen came to sit next to him with a cup of coffee and said, "The Black Hawk Security Bureau is very efficient, but it's a pity that no one was found alive."
Lin Ran shook his head and smiled: "It's expected. Although Lipple alive is more valuable to us, it's actually not bad now."
"Lipper's neck was broken from behind and thrown at the entrance of a large community. There were a lot of people coming and going in the morning, so it was easy to find him."
Tian Xichen took a sip of coffee and said, "I feel that the person behind the scenes deliberately let us discover Lipple. He wanted to convey some information in this way."
"For example, a message of weakness?" Lin Ran sneered.
Tian Xichen nodded slightly: "Perhaps, they want to end the matter here and let the Black Hawk official no longer pursue it."
Lin Ran originally wanted to take a long-term view to catch the big fish, but now that Lipple is dead, it is undoubtedly proved that the other party has exposed his true purpose!
Now this situation further proves that Lipple’s previous digging holes for the Daxia Exchange Group was definitely not just to help the Black Hawk soldiers!
Once this is successful, Lipple will have unprecedented prestige in the military department, and Admiral Nim will become his background and stepping stone!
Lin Ran said: "It is impossible for Black Hawk officials to give up the investigation because of Lipple's death. The S-class robot has not been found yet."
Tian Xichen nodded slightly: "I always feel that this so-called high technology does not come from our world."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes: "If it comes from another world, then how did this S-class robot get here without opening the Netherworld Gate?"
The expression on Tian Xichen's pretty face suddenly turned serious: "If there really is a passage that we don't know about, it would be troublesome."
"Yes." Lin Ran said: "Now, it depends on the efficiency of the Security Bureau. Finding these two robots early can also make everyone feel more at ease."
Tian Xichen chuckled, lowered his voice, and said, "We are looking for it too."
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Ran suddenly showed a smile and said, "If we can find it, that would be great... The best thing would be to bring this robot back to Daxia directly."
"Understood." Tian Xichen said with a smile, "I will obey the orders of Major General Lin."
"That's right." Lin Ran said to Tian Xichen, "Is Zhang Xiaofei awake now?"
"After you treated him yesterday, the degree of internal injuries has been greatly reduced, and the healing speed of the wounds has even been accelerated. Now he is awake and even in good spirits." Tian Xichen said, "However, Zhang Xiaofei has been in a coma before. He didn't know that you saved him."
"Then don't tell him." Lin Ran said with a smile.
As for He Tianqi, since she had just broken through to S level and had already gone into seclusion to stabilize her realm, her future was truly limitless.
"Do you think the Daxia exchange group needs to wait forever in the Black Hawk Federation?" Lin Ran asked again.
In fact, he had the answer in his heart, but Lin Ran wanted to hear what Director Oda had to say.
In the past two days, Tian Xichen has been strategizing behind the scenes, pushing the boat along with the current, and the results achieved are simply amazing.
Tian Xichen said with a smile: "The Daxia exchange group can wait here forever, but you can return first."
Lin Ran's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Tian Xichen meant: "You are much more thoughtful than me. Indeed, with Lu Qianming and Tianqi here, the Black Eagle Federation cannot make too big a splash. "
After wandering outside for so long, Lin Ran really wanted to go back and take a look.
Tian Xichen put his hand into his arms and actually took out two air tickets: "I have arranged it for you. The flight back to Daxia tonight will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Who are these two tickets for?" Lin Ran asked, "Shen Yiyu? She will stay in the Black Hawk Federation for a while."
"Who said it was Shen Yiyu?" Tian Xichen said with a smile: "However, I don't know who it is. The marshal asked me to buy it... Anyway, I have arranged it. The two seats are adjacent to each other. You will know who it is when the evening comes. ”
"It seems there's still a lot of time until evening?" Lin Ran looked at his watch.
Tian Xichen immediately understood what Lin Ran was going to do. Her fair and pretty face instantly turned red and she whispered:
"You, you...I'm coming."
"I'm leaving, but you're here?" Lin Ran said in shock.
"It seems that I came at a bad time." Tian Xichen pursed his lips and chuckled.
Lin Ran said helplessly: "Then next time when you don't come, I will come again."
Tian Xichen blushed and nodded gently: "Okay, I don't have to wait for you to come. I will go find you when I don't come."
The two started a conversation in Daxia language level 6.
The guests dining at the next table were completely confused when they heard these words.
…………
Song Ziyuan woke up and was sitting on the hospital bed in a daze.
She looked at the bread and milk on the bedside table, and she had no appetite at all.
In fact, she can go without eating for ten days and eight days without any problem. The source crystal liquid alone is enough to meet most of the body's needs.
However, at this time, Song Ziyuan really didn't want to drink that stuff anymore.
After all, your mouth is filled with the salty smell of the sea, and your stomach will protest even if you burp.
She suddenly missed a bowl of mutton noodle soup from her hometown.
The winter in Bei'an is very cold. People are used to stew mutton with the unique spices of this small border town. On a winter morning, they have a steaming bowl of mutton noodles. It is chewy and smooth (this is actually a forbidden word) The delicious noodles and fragrant soup can warm people from the stomach to the heart.
Looking at the desolate scene outside the window, Song Ziyuan felt some longing inexplicably in her body.
The longing for her hometown turned into a feeling of loneliness, wrapping Song Ziyuan inside.
After becoming S-class, her perspective on problems has been completely different, and she has indeed figured out many things.
Looking back on the past, Song Ziyuan does feel that she has many problems, but she does not have much hope that the broken family relationship can return to the past.
At this moment, Miss Song, who was still injured, suddenly wanted to go back and take a look.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Song Ziyuan said dullly.
Unexpectedly, it was Lin Ran who opened the door and walked in.
"..." Facing this literal savior, Song Ziyuan didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Good morning."
"It seems that the injury is recovering quite quickly. You should be able to resume training in a few days." Lin Ran looked at Song Ziyuan and said.
The latter was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, which looked very loose, but his exquisite and undulating figure was still very attractive.
Her hair was let down, no makeup was applied, and her complexion was no longer so pale, with a hint of rosiness.
At this time, Song Ziyuan's temperament was not as sharp as that of an S-level warrior, nor was she as glamorous as the rich lady before. Even though her injuries were not healed, she felt more like a girl next door.
"The S-class robot showed up again yesterday," Lin Ran said. "Lipper from the Lukaton Military Region is dead. It seems that all the clues have been lost."
"Yes." Song Ziyuan looked at the untouched milk bread in front of her and said softly: "You made a great show last night, and everyone in the world knows Major General Lin."
"Haha, what's so good about this kind of scenery?" Lin Ran said, "All the hatred has been directed towards me."
"In that case, when facing foreign enemies, the enemy's attention will be focused on you, which will make it easier for ordinary warriors like us to do things." Song Ziyuan shook her head: "It can be considered to have advantages and disadvantages."
Being able to say this sentence proved that Song Ziyuan had corrected her identity and did not put herself on the opposite side of Lin Ran.
"Let's wait until the foreign enemies arrive." Lin Ran shook his head: "It will probably be soon."
"If I'm not wrong, then the S-class robot..." Song Ziyuan hesitated.
"You're right."
Lin Ran said, looking down at the bread and milk in front of Song Ziyuan, and asked lightly: "What, no appetite?"
"I'm tired of eating it a long time ago." Song Ziyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, and didn't hide her inner thoughts: "My stomach misses the taste of Daxia, such as a bowl of mutton noodle soup."
"The mutton noodle soup in Bei'an seems to be quite special. It tastes different from other places. You can go back and have a look when you have time." Lin Ran didn't seem to have any intention of starting on this. Then he changed the topic and said, "I'm going to do it today." gone back."
Song Ziyuan was slightly surprised and said, "It's faster than I thought."
"I leave so that others can let go." Lin Ran said, "As for you, you are still too weak, so you should stay in seclusion for a while."
"Thank you, Major General Lin, for your advice."
Song Ziyuan naturally wouldn't think that Lin Ran was mocking her. In fact, this could be said to be advice from a super strong person.
She stood up and then bowed deeply: "Thank you again, Major General Lin, for saving your life."
Lin Ran didn't look at Song Ziyuan's almost unprotected collar because she leaned forward, but smiled faintly: "Indeed, women, it's better to be sensible."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Song Ziyuan looked at the closed door and was silently dazed for a while, then returned to the bed and sat down.
At this moment, her thoughts were racing, and she thought of many scenes from the past and the future.
After more than half an hour of silence, Song Ziyuan turned on her phone and browsed the flights back to Daxia.
"Perhaps, I am not suitable to go back now." Song Ziyuan whispered to herself, and then closed the ticket interface.
However, at this time, there was a knock on the door.
Song Ziyuan thought they were medical staff and said without thinking, "Please come in."
A middle-aged man wearing a chef's uniform walked in. He had gray hair on his temples and looked to be nearly fifty years old. He was also carrying an incubator in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Excuse me, is this Miss Song Ziyuan Song?"
Song Ziyuan was a little confused: "Who are you?"
She immediately felt some fluctuations in source power from the other party, but the level was not very high. It was only D level at most, and it did not pose any threat to herself at all.
"My name is Li Liangbin. My hometown is in Bei'an. I used to be the leader of the cooking squad in the Daxia Northern Field Army. After I retired, I followed my wife to Blackhawk and opened a small restaurant."
The middle-aged man continued: "Lin Ran and I were in the same army before. He just called me and asked me to bring you a bowl of mutton noodle soup."
Hearing this, Song Ziyuan's eyes froze.
Then, Li Liangbin opened the incubator, and a fragrance belonging to Bei'an instantly filled the entire room, making a certain S-class woman return to her hometown in a trance.
At this moment, steam rose from the soup surface, and Song Ziyuan's eyes intertwined with the aroma that she was thinking about, seeming to form a dense mist.
