Chapter 2, the fireball that fell from the sky
The majestic military music rang on the radio on the playground, and the passionate melody whirled in my ears.
Zhen Cheng slowly walked onto the podium with proud and confident steps. On the stage were all instructors from the military academy. The origins of these instructors are not simple. Some of them are retired famous generals, some are active senior officials, and several are once aces who dominate the battlefield... Everyone has military medals on their chests.
Zhen Cheng hopes that one day, his chest will be covered with golden medals...
An instructor with scars on his face shouted: "I announce that the title of the trump card of the 2297th Shuangqing Military Academy belongs to Zhen Cheng."
There was warm applause in the playground, and countless classmates applauded. Zhen Cheng deserved the title of "Ace". No one felt dissatisfied in his heart... Oh, no, there was still one person who was dissatisfied. Silver moon's Luna stood very close to the podium. She had yellow skin, black eyes, but had long golden hair. The beautiful mixed-race girl pouted her mouth now and shouted unhappily to the stage: "Zhen Cheng, don't be too proud too early. You hit my paint bullet just luck! It's just luck. Do you know? I will definitely defeat you next time."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and then Luna's fans shouted: "Zhen Cheng, why didn't you, you, deliberately lose to Luna? You actually have the heart to use shells to bomb her!"
Zhen Cheng felt very embarrassed and scratched his head, not knowing what to say. He couldn't say sissy words like "I don't want her to go to the front line" in public, right?
"Shut up!" The instructor with a scar on his face suddenly said, "There will not be a next time on the battlefield. As long as you get a shell, you will be dead. Luna, don't make trouble here, shut up and get out of here. Don't think that I can't deal with you after graduation. Be careful, I will call the commander of your logistics force and ask him to run 50 kilometers every day."
Luna was shocked and hid behind the team.
This Scar Instructor is not an ordinary person. His name is Huyanjueluo Yi. He was affiliated with the Earth Federation Mars Base Defense Force five years ago. He is the well-deserved ace in that unit. In the Mars Base Defense Battle seven years ago, he drove the "Empty Teeth" numbered NL335 and killed twenty-two mecha warriors with one person, so he was named "Martian Berserker"... However, this battle also caused him to be seriously injured. After he recovered, he could no longer go to the front line, so he came to the military academy to be an instructor. None of the students in the military academy were afraid of him! Because he always had a smell of a battlefield, a temperament filled with gunpowder, or a murderous aura, which was admirable and fearful.
Zhen Cheng is usually afraid of him, but when Luna is scolded, Zhen Cheng forgot to be afraid. He stood in front of the instructor and said seriously: "Please don't blame Luna, she is just a joke with me. We are good friends. Are there no harmless jokes between comrades on the battlefield?"
The instructor's fierce face with a scar turned to Zhen Cheng, glared at him fiercely, but snorted coldly: "Very good, I'm very brave. If I don't even have the courage to contradict the chief, I can't muster up the courage to fight the aliens. Boy, you are going to graduate today. Instructor, I have only one word to give to you..."
Speaking of this, he paused, and then slapped Zhen Cheng hard on the shoulder: "Don't die!"
Zhen Cheng nodded seriously: "I try my best."
"Okay, take it, this is your ace medal, graduation certificate, and a letter of recommendation to enter the Expedition..." Instructor Scar threw a lot of messy documents into Zhen Cheng's hands.
Zhen Cheng excitedly took the document...
Wu Zuo's whistle sounded from the audience, followed by Luna's loud congratulations, and countless classmates cheered together: "We must name our Shuangqing Military Academy on the Expedition. Don't let those veterans look down on it. We will cheer for you in the logistics army."
"Go, our ace!"
"Let our ace kill the Demon Stars and end this 20-year-old interstellar war..."
"Fly, Expedition!"
Countless hats are thrown into the sky... The graduate carnival season has begun...
The Expedition is the most powerful spacecraft carrier of the Earth Federation. It is an all-around carriage of the air, land, sea, and universe. It has super-light speed and time jumping ability and can conduct ultra-long-range interstellar combat. The ship is 1,504 meters long, can carry up to 200 mecha warriors, and is equipped with a huge escort fleet.
It was designed as a space fortress against the Demon Stars from the beginning. It was the dream of every soldier to serve on that ship, and Zhen Cheng was no exception. Now the dream is finally coming true, making him feel a little unreal, as if it was a dream, and the dream will always be awakened by urinating at the best time.
At this moment, several classmates suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Oh, look, a huge fireball fell from the sky..."
All the instructors and students looked up together. Sure enough, in the extremely high altitude, there was a bright red dot, and only those with good eyes could see that it was a huge fireball, which was falling rapidly. Next to it, there were a few inconspicuous small red dots, several small fireballs.
As the fireball kept falling, the fireball became bigger and bigger, and people with bad eyes could see clearly. At the same time, the military electronic telescope on the roof of the teaching building also turned the camera and transmitted the picture of the fireball to the school's large screen.
When everyone saw clearly what this fireball was, a cry suddenly rang out in the whole school.
"Oh my God! Yes..."
"It's the Expedition!"
"My God, this is impossible, why is the Expedition..."
"Did the Expedition be shot down?"
"The few small fireballs next to it are its escort ship..."
Zhen Cheng widened his eyes and looked at the LCD screen with incredible eyes. No... This must be because he had read it wrong. The most powerful and advanced mothership in the Earth Federation cannot be hit or turned into a ball of fire. This must be because the electronic telescope took the wrong picture, right? Or those students from the intelligence department invaded the school's servers and hijacked the signal. Now they must be sending prank videos... It must be!
"No, that's not a prank, it's reality!"
All the instructors were panicked, even the Scar Instructor, who had always been calm and calm and calm like a mountain, now had a look of despair on his face. He took out his cell phone as fast as possible and called a colleague in the army: "Hey, hey, can you hear it? I am Huyan Jueluo Yi from Mars. After I was discharged from the army, I am not well informed. Tell me quickly what battle is going on outside the atmosphere? Why did the Expedition fall from the world?"
"It's over... it's all..." A weak voice came from the phone: "A few days ago, the Demon Stars sent an unprecedented army to invade the earth, and also dispatched the super weapon "Planet Destroyers". In order to prevent the public from panic, the government blocked the news, so you are not aware of it... But now there is no need to block it anymore. If you lose, you will be defeated. The group of high-ranking officials have been buried in the fire with the Expedition. Hahaha... The moon base has been destroyed, and the earth's defense forces have also been defeated and cannot be defended... Hahaha... Bang..." A gunshot came from the other side of the phone, followed by the sound of human body falling to the ground.
Hu Yanjue Luo Yi grabbed the phone and shouted: "Hey, what happened to you? Fuck, if you are a soldier, you will die on the battlefield. Don't try to kill yourself by swallowing a gun..."
On this day, countless fireballs fell from the sky around the world...
On this day, countless people who were unsuppressed to commit suicide by drawing their guns...
On this day, the glory of the earth ended...
Zhen Cheng stood among the chaotic crowd, holding a letter of recommendation, and stared blankly at the huge fireball falling rapidly in the sky... Mei Meng was not awakened by urine, but was taken away by a nightmare...
"Don't be dazed there, run!" Luna suddenly jumped out of the side, grabbed Zhen Cheng's hand, and dragged him into the air-raid shelter: "The Expedition has fallen, and it may fall near this point. The impact of the landing explosion of a mothership of this level is extraordinary. It will razed to the ground within a few kilometers. You can quickly hide in the air-raid shelter."
Zhen Cheng woke up and shouted: "Where is Wu Zuo? Where is Wu Zuo? Tell him to hide together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow ground tiger rushed out from the side, which was Wuzuo's special training machine.
Zhen Cheng shouted, "Wuzuo, what are you going to do? Get off the Earth Tiger quickly!"
The yellow earth tiger turned on the external loudspeaker, and Wu Zuo roared wildly: "I don't agree, I'm going to fight with aliens..."
"How to fight? This is a training machine, which is not loaded with live ammunition, and where are you going to fight? The aliens are still outside the atmosphere, and the earth tiger cannot fly." Zhen Cheng was anxious: "Get down and hide in the air-raid shelter!"
"No, I don't care, I must fight with them! I will fight with them!" The yellow earth tiger roared like crazy, stumbled out, and disappeared from Zhen Cheng's vision in a blink of an eye.
The fireball turned into by the Expedition was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire seemed to burn the sky. The recommendation letter was blown away by the wind and floated into the air. Zhen Cheng reached out to grab it back, but when he reached out, he felt confused. The Expedition was gone. Is this recommendation letter still useful? In a daze, Luna dragged him into the air-raid shelter, and the entrance of the hole was closed, and it was pitch black...
Then there was a loud "boom" sound outside the cave. The Expedition landed. A violent explosion occurred. The earth shook. Zhen Cheng was thrown away by the earthquake and then fell heavily to the ground... His forehead fell, blood flowing down, but he only felt a numb heartache.
