At night, the tugboat "Monyach" waits quietly in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
At this time, the temperature on the river was still very low, hovering around a few degrees above zero. The occasional river breeze made Professor Mans Rundstedt, who was standing at the front of the cabin, wrap his coat tightly.
He walked back to the cab, cut off from the howling wind and the light of the lighthouse on the river bank.
"Professor, is that first-year student named Xia Xian really that important? Do we all need to wait for him?" A girl with a typical Latin beauty turned her head from the screen and asked with a smile. She was about twenty-three,
Four years old, with black hair, wearing a combat uniform specially customized by Kassel Academy.
Mance quietly lit a cigar and leaned against the cabin door, "Ye Sheng, what do you think?"
On another folding chair in the cabin, Ye Sheng was lying down reading a book. There was a yellow reading light above his head. When he heard Mance's question, this sunny boy with two thick and flying black eyebrows stretched his face from behind the book.
come out:
"I don't know why, but I think his participation may be important to us."
"Your sixth sense is always very accurate, isn't it?" Mance smiled slightly.
"Maybe it's because of my speech spirit." Ye Sheng showed his white teeth and pointed at his head, "I don't just have brains here, there are also my 'messengers'. They also make me very sensitive.
.”
"Thelma, what were you doing in first grade?" Mance blew out a puff of cigar smoke.
Selma, a Latin girl, thought for a while: "What course did I choose that year? The failure rate in the college was more than 40%. In order not to be marked red, I seemed to have been studying hard.
"
"You must have chosen "Old Norse", it is indeed quite boring." Ye Sheng smiled and turned over from the folding chair, stepping firmly on the swaying ship board, "I was also tortured by it back then.
Not light."
"But Senior Ye Sheng has been an outstanding student for several years, right?" Thelma showed a look of admiration, "And he became the assistant executive officer just after joining the executive department. Even if he is the best graduate in these years, there is no problem.
.”
"But at your time, I have never done such a dangerous task as interning with the Executive Department." Ye Sheng said with a smile, "Professor Mance chose you, which shows that you are good enough."
"That's why I think it's a bit exaggerated for us to collectively wait for Sister Aki to pick up the first grader." Thelma put her hands on the operating table and cupped her chin.
"No, Thelma," Mance said seriously, "It's not an exaggeration at all. This student named Xia Xian survived the attack of a second-generation species, and he is the top dragon attendant 'Samson'. You
Do you know what the likely outcome will be if all of us on this ship encounter it?"
Thelma also put away a trace of her spontaneity. The results of her four years of study at Kassel College came to mind, and she suddenly shuddered, "Death."
Mance nodded, and Ye Sheng beside him also fell silent.
They all know how dangerous this trip is. But if they don't do it if there is danger, how can they complete the mission of Kassel College?
At this time, the third officer of the Monyach walked into the control cabin and said, "Captain, two pieces of news."
"Say." Mance nodded.
"We received a signal from the Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Waterway that the river area where we are located will usher in a storm in two hours, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms. Are you considering postponing the plan?"
"Don't think about it," Mance said. "The Monyach has a very deep draft and the hull is as stable as a mountain. How big of a storm will it take for us to be in danger?"
The third officer nodded.
"Where's the second news?" Mance asked.
The third officer smiled and pointed outside the cabin: "They're here."
Ye Sheng raised his head and looked at Mance. The latter ordered: "Thelma, continue to observe, Ye Sheng and I will pick them up."
"I also want to see how strange he looks." This beautiful girl pouted, feeling a little aggrieved.
Ye Sheng patted her shoulder, "I'll bring them in and show you when I get them."
"Senior Ye Sheng is still the best." Selma then laughed.
Mance went to the deck, and Ye Sheng followed him. His tall and thin figure required him to bend down. This young man, who was only in his twenties, asked softly: "Professor Mance, are you retiring soon?"
"Call me captain, I am not a professor now." Mance did not look back, "You are right, this should be my last mission in the execution department. But it is also an honor. There is a high probability that this will be Bronze and Fire.
I can brag about the king’s palace for the rest of my life.”
"Hope it goes well." Ye Sheng smiled.
"Hope it goes well," Mance also said.
This is not the first time that he has collaborated with Ye Sheng and Shutoku Aki. These two students were brought out by him almost single-handedly. They are his most proud disciples and have also brought him a lot of help after entering the execution department.
"Hope everything goes well" are the words they use to encourage each other before each mission.
After all, you don’t know what you are facing and whether there will be another mission.
Above the Yangtze River, blending into the night, a black helicopter hovered directly above the Monyach, and the undulating water surface was made even more turbulent by the constantly rotating wings.
Mance and Ye Sheng stood on the deck and looked out.
The helicopter lowered the ladder, and Aki Shutoku, who had already put on combat uniform, helped the ladder down. After seeing his partner, Ye Sheng smiled.
She jumped down and landed on the deck. Ye Sheng stretched out his arm to hold the girl with a sweet smile firmly, "Is everything going well?"
"What could be wrong with picking up someone?" Aki Shutoku smiled.
Mance also looked at the helicopter's other ladder.
The boy with black hair and black eyes didn't seem to see it, and he jumped down directly. Like Shutoku Aki, he landed on the deck. The whole Monyach seemed to tremble, but this boy
like a statue.
He raised his head and glanced at the surprised Ye Sheng and Mance who was holding a cigar. He grinned and said, "Sorry, I'm a little late."
Mance nodded slowly. Of course he could feel that the boy did not deliberately show off to appear like this, but he was still severely shocked - although Abigail and Schneider both reminded him that this boy might be catching up.
Chu Zihang’s embryo killing.
"Where is your combat uniform?" Ye Sheng patted Xia Xian on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
Xia Xian was stunned: "And there are combat uniforms?"
Then he looked at Shutoku Aki and realized that the other person had put on his combat uniform before getting off the plane.
The latter said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I don't seem to have the same skills as you."
"It's okay, just wear mine." Ye Sheng smiled, "The college's combat uniform uses nanotechnology, and the size is also adjustable. As long as you don't mind it."
"No problem." Xia Xian agreed without saying a word.
The cry of a baby suddenly came from the back cabin. Xia Xian was startled: "This operation...with a baby? The execution department is really...a bit special."
He looked at the back cabin calmly, but his expression was not as surprised as he said. He felt an extremely strong blood aura, even stronger than the three people on the deck.
"Baby?" Ye Sheng smiled, "That's the 'key'."
Xia Xian still pretended to be confused and looked confused.
"Let's go," Mance glanced at Xia Xian and blew out a puff of cigar smoke, "Let's go see our dear baby."
