Chapter 1289 I Hate It So Much!

A team of patrol units had just passed by the main door of the base.

“Little Zhao, is there anything suspicious?” The team leader walked to the guard station and asked the guard with a pleasant expression on his face.

“Second Lieutenant Lin, nothing at all. The regular citizens who live close to this area all know what kind of place this is. They won’t go past the restrictive line.” Little Zhao smiled.

Although the guards needed to be on guard throughout the night, there was hardly even any action because the citizens around knew what they should do and what they shouldn’t do. Additionally, Planet Xiagang was in the inner parts of the Federation and was considered as an unimportant third-rate planet. It had been peaceful here for decades. It was so safe that sometimes these guards would be able to take a nap without anyone finding out.

“However, we still need to be careful. After all, it’s different from before,” said Second Lieutenant Lin.

Little Zhao immediately replied, “Second Lieutenant Lin, don’t worry. We will definitely take caution during these times.”

While the two of them spoke, a thin fog began appearing in the air around them.

“Weird weather. It’s foggy again,” said Second Lieutenant Lin as he put out his hand to feel the humidity of the air.

Planet Xiagang was a planet with an abundance of water. Out of the 200 or so days among the five seasons, there were at least 180 days with foggy weather. It should be known that a planet with an abundance of water would never become a third-rate planet even if all the other resources were lacking. Planet Xiagang becoming a third-rate planet was mostly due to the constant foggy weather.

Second Lieutenant Lin took out the walkie-talkie and said, “Team R19, Lin Yunbin has a situation that I would like to report to the command center.”

“Please speak, Second Lieutenant Lin.” A soft and beautiful voice rang from the other side of the walkie-talkie. It was a JMC from their base.

“Level 1 fog has appeared at Area R1.” Lin Yunbin then felt the humidity on his hand increasing. “It has now increased to level 2 fog.”

“Command center has received this information. Now I will officially send Second Lieutenant Lin’s report. Can you confirm?” asked the JMC.

Second Lieutenant Lin closed his eyes and felt the fog once again. He confirmed that the level 2 fog didn’t increase and then replied, “Confirmed.”

“Documentation successful. If there are any new developments, please report to the command center as soon as possible. Thank you.” The JMC ended the call.

After Second Lieutenant Lin made his report, he said goodbye to Little Zhao and continued to patrol the next area.

When the patrol team left, Little Zhao felt the thick fog behind him actually dissipate a bit. After a short while, the fog gradually disappeared, returning to the clear skies.

“The fog went away pretty quick.” Little Zhao was surprised. The fog would usually turn thicker as they went through the night. They used to have to wait until the sun raised the next day for the fog to slowly dissipate and disappear.

“It’s probably because it’s thin.” His collegue beside him made a guess.

“Yeah, that’s possible.” If the fog was thin, it would dissipate quicker.

The two of them didn’t pay too much attention to the odd situation and continued to stand on guard. Although there were high-tech surveillance equipment, the existence of hackers still required actual people to stand on guard.

This was a medium sized base. Normally, as a military base, there wouldn’t be any tall buildings. Normally, three stories was considered the limit for buildings.

However, there were instead 5 to 6-story towers all around the base.

On the towers, there were also soldiers standing on guard, watching their surroundings with focused eyes.

“This fog is getting thicker. It’s getting harder and harder to see.” A soldier on a tower, who was using a high-powered telescope to look around, saw areas of the base turning more and more blurred because of the fog. He couldn’t help but frown at his observation.

His colleague behind him said, “Activate the infrared and thermal rader. It’ll guarantee not a mouse can escape.”

“I know, but I like looking at things in their natural state, not with red and purple colored lines. It hurts my eyes.” The soldier with the telescope pouted.

“Then, just leave it to the mainframe. Technology these days has decreased the mainframe’s margin of error to one in one billion,” his colleague said nonchalantly.

“Yeah, I know, but what if by chance we’re unlucky today.” The soldier on guard remembered the disciplinary hearing from some time ago. It was because a guard believed in the mainframe too much and didn’t perform his duties. The mainframe then had an error, causing it to mistaken a rabid wild dog as an enemy attack, causing the entire base to be on full alert, causing a huge commotion. In the end, they discovered it was just a false alarm… In the end, not only did that soldier get a life ban from being able to involve in politics, he was also sentenced by the military court to military prison for 30 years.

After this event happened, all of the soldiers on guard didn’t dare to slack on their duty.

“Take that back. Something like that only happens once in a few hundred years. How could it happen to us? Don’t jinx it,” his colleague instantly shouted.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking. I will set the mainframe and then keep watch as well.” The soldier on guard felt that he was too paranoid. Thus, he set the mainframe to be the primary judge of the situation and left himself as the secondary judge.

While they weren’t paying attention and speaking to each other, the originally thick fog slowly dissipated.

At that moment, on the roof of a random barrack, there were two people, one standing and one laying down.

The one laying down was chugging down a beer bottle. There were many such empty bottles beside him. It seemed he had been drinking quite a lot.

“Qi Long, do you plan on drinking yourself to death?” Han Jijyun frowned. He had a hint of anger on his face.

After hearing that question, Qi Long finally took his lips off the bottle and turned towards Han Jijyun. “If I don’t drink, I will go insane.”

Qi Long looked at the pitch-dark sky with only a few shining stars. His originally honest face actually became somewhat twisted.

“Do you know what kind of promise I made in the past?” The veins on Qi Long’s clenched fisted popped out. “I promised that if someone wanted to hurt Boss, they would have to kill me first.”

“But where was I when Boss needed me the most? I was in the safest starship fleet that our Boss had arranged, drinking and eating…” Qi Long angrily tossed his bottle on the ground.

Bang! The bottle was instantly shattered into dust and the beer splashed everywhere.

Some people suddenly appeared from the darkness. After seeing Qi Long and Han Jijyun on the roof, they all understood what was happening. Then, they silently retreated back into the darkness as if they never existed.

“I hate it so much… From the very beginning, I shouldn’t have agreed to Boss’s arrangements. I should be beside our Boss. Just like Luo Lang, Xie Yi and Li Lanfeng.” Qi Long’s expression was filled with regret.

Bang! A loud and sharp slap ruthlessly went across Qi Long’s face.

Qi Long looked at Han Jijyun in shock. He didn’t think that Han Jijyun, who always supported him, would actually hit him.

Han Jijyun said coldly, “Han Jijyun, you acting like this is f*cking disgusting.”
