Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 446 Farewell (Five in One)

The Abyss of the Fallen: Federal Defense Headquarters.

In room A13.

Su Ming sat on the sofa and looked through the Star Forum with his bracelet. After looking for a long time, he did not find any information or posts about the President of the Longxian Council.

"You don't need to look, it must have been cleaned up completely."

Celis said with a smile as she floated beside Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard this, he closed the Star Forum, raised his head and looked at Celis and said.

“Celis, can you log into the Illumination Forum of the Kingdom of Apocalypse?”

"Well, this is a bit difficult and not easy to do."

Celis looked very embarrassed.

"Is it difficult? I saw many people climbed up secretly?"

Su Ming looked at Celis in confusion.

"Oh, it's not that easy. But if you promise to come back and play with me once, I'll help you."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Haha, that's great. Since you've asked me so sincerely, I'll help you with all my efforts!"

"Okay, please."

"Yeah, done."

Celis took a look at Su Ming's bracelet and helped him to bypass the firewall and connect to the Guangming Forum.

Su Ming looked at this scene and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he didn't say anything and just browsed the Guangming Forum.

The entire Guangming Forum was also very lively. The interface turned gray and an obituary was pinned at the top of the header.

"On July 4621, 7 of the Old Era, the Templar Knights of Andefa led their troops to launch a surprise attack on the internal defense line of the Federation of the Abyss of Perdition. Unfortunately, they were killed by a despicable sneak attack by Lieutenant General Su Ming of the Federation during the battle and returned to the arms of God. Emperor Vanluo announced that the flag of the Kingdom of Apocalypse would be lowered to half-mast, and the whole country would mourn!"

There are hundreds of millions of comments under the obituary.

"Lieutenant General Su Ming of the Federation is despicable and shameless! He killed Lord Andefa by a sneak attack. We will never forgive him."

"That Su Ming will not die a good death. God will surely send his soul into an endless purgatory, where he will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

"We want to avenge Lord Andefar!"

"That's right. We can't just kill him. That would be too easy for him. We must skin him alive and tear his tendons apart."

Su Ming's mouth twitched as he looked at these messages. He felt like he had poked a hornet's nest.

The people of the Apocalypse Kingdom reacted so strongly to the death of Andefa that it felt like the sky was falling.

But it's normal. Andefa is one of the pillars of the Kingdom of Apocalypse. His death is like a corner of the sky falling for the people.

Su Ming turned off the obituary and continued to scroll down. He then saw an extremely popular official post and clicked on it.

"Lieutenant General Su Ming of the Federation has been officially included in the Red List of the highest level of wanted people by the Kingdom of Apocalypse, with a danger rating of Sun."

"Brothers, the opportunity to make achievements has come. As long as you can kill this Su Ming, you will be personally rewarded by the Divine Emperor!"

"That's right, kill him! He's just a small lieutenant general, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Countless messages are constantly being updated.

Su Ming closed the post and continued to check other posts. Nine out of ten were criticizing him.

"Wow, so many people want to kill you. Su Ming, you have become completely famous in the Kingdom of Apocalypse. You should know that you are not that famous in the Federation. I guess the top leaders of the Federation may not know that you killed Andefa."

Celis said with a smile.

"That's because the Federation has very strict information control. However, strictness has its benefits. Take the incident with the Speaker of the Parliament video for example. If it is not cleared up and controlled immediately, there will definitely be a big mess. Although smart people can tell at a glance that someone is stirring up trouble, it is impossible for everyone to be so smart. There are always stubborn people. In addition, areas like the Abyss of Perdition are far away and have little information. Once they are incited, it will be a disaster."

Su Ming said to Celis calmly.

"You are right, that's the truth."

"But then again, it seems that the Federation's network technology is very average and is often invaded and breached. On the contrary, the networks of the Kingdom of Apocalypse and the Dark Star Empire seem to be rarely invaded."

"Who told you that? The network technology of Apocalypse and Dark Star Empire is just a piece of shit. How dare they compare with the Federation? If you don't believe me, I'll try it and show you that I don't even need any auxiliary equipment."

After Celis finished speaking, she quickly launched an invasion, with a large number of codes flashing rapidly in her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, she successfully invaded the Light Forum of the Kingdom of Apocalypse and obtained some administrator privileges.

"Su Ming, take a look at the Guangming Forum."

Celis said very proudly.

After Su Ming heard what Celis said, he refreshed the Guangming Forum and immediately saw a post about the Divine Emperor Vanluo, which replaced the obituary.

Secret forbidden love: Emperor Fanluo fell in love with me.

Su Ming clicked on it with a confused look on his face, and saw some extremely eye-catching photos.

The God Emperor Fanluo was seen nestling in the arms of a sturdy man with 18-pack abs, like a little bird.

Su Ming was stunned and didn't know what to say. The small workshop was just producing high-quality materials.

The click rate of this post instantly reached millions.

The replies below are even more crazy.

"Who is it! How dare you blaspheme our Divine Emperor!"

"Where's the administrator?"

"Delete it now!"

"Idiot? Who on earth dares to slander the great God Emperor?"

"See? Their technology is shit compared to the Federation. The reason their network is fine is because no one messes with them."

Celis sneered with disdain.

"If that's the case, then why do the bio-machine technologies of the Apocalypse Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire seem so strong? Not inferior to the Federation at all?"

Su Ming looked at Celis with interest and asked.

"Tsk, they call that technology? Let's talk about the Kingdom of Apocalypse first. Even though Anderfa looks very strong, was he a biological mecha in his last state? It was clearly a monster, and the pilot was swallowed up. It's obvious that the Kingdom of Apocalypse colluded with aliens and reached a cooperation. As for the Dark Star Empire, it was even more simple and crude. They didn't intend to let the pilots live. They treated them like human beings, and their pilots were all disposable. As for the few pilots who were not abandoned, it had nothing to do with the technology of their mechas. It was purely because of their own luck!"

"Makes sense!"

Su Ming nodded and replied.

"I tell you, the Federation's technology is the best, so be content."

Celis said to Su Ming very proudly.

"Ah."

Su Ming smiled and replied, "There is really no harm without comparison."

At this time, there was a mixed sound coming from outside the door, which was a bit chaotic.

Su Ming looked outside the door in confusion, then slowly stood up and walked over.

After a few days of rest, although my body is not yet fully recovered, my basic mobility has been restored.

When Su Ming opened the door and walked out, he immediately saw Rhine, Ankajia, Angel and others holding a bunch of gift boxes in their hands.

"Rhine, what are you doing? You have so many gift boxes in your hands."

Su Ming asked doubtfully.

"Boss, you are so enthusiastic. I can't refuse your kindness!"

Rhine replied with a wry smile.

"What's so kind that you can't refuse?"

Su Ming was completely confused.

"Those girls, these gifts were asked by us to bring to you. And even we got some, it's hard to refuse."

Zhang Yi replied with a grin that made it hard to close.

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Su Ming was suddenly overwhelmed.

At this time Mia came over and asked curiously,

"What are you doing here? Why are there so many gifts?"

"Teacher Mia, these are all given to the boss by the girls in the headquarters."

Ankaja replied with a grin.

When Mia heard this, she casually took a gift box from Rhine's hand, then untied the ribbon and opened it, revealing a box of chocolates inside.

"This chocolate is good. Let me see what brand it is. It's the Nofei brand. It's pure natural chocolate and it's very expensive! Wait, there's a note here."

Mia opened the chocolate, took one and tasted it, a look of surprise appeared on her face, then she looked through the packaging and said.

"What did you write?"

Rhine and others asked gossipingly.

"Dear Lord Su Ming, the first time I saw you, I knew you were my destined prince charming, and I am your little sweetheart."

Mia read while she ate.

Su Ming's face turned black, and he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Teacher Mia, please stop reading."

"Haha, sweetie."

Mia was also laughing so hard that tears were about to fall.

"Rhine, return all the things to them."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others with a dark face.

"Ah? Is this okay, Boss? These are all good things, and returning them wouldn't seem inhumane."

Rhine and others asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, it would be so bad to return it! Xiao Tiantian will be sad."

Mia also joined in the fun.

"Teacher Mia, I haven't said anything to you yet. You are such a fool. You know this chocolate is so expensive, but you still open it and eat it."

Su Ming scolded Mia.

Synthetic chocolate is not expensive, but pure natural chocolate is ridiculously expensive.

The chocolate of the brand Nuofei is a very high-end brand.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. At worst, I'll compensate you."

Mia decisively admitted defeat.

Just when Su Ming was about to say something, his bracelet suddenly vibrated and a message popped up.

He looked down at the message and said to Mia and Rhine.

"I won't tell you anymore. Commander Soleiya is looking for me."

"What does that old woman want from you?"

Mia asked curiously.

"I don't know."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"Boss, do you want us to take you there?"

Rhine and the others asked with concern.

"No, I'm recovering well now, just send everything back quickly."

After Su Ming gave his instructions to Lai Rhine and the others, he turned and left.

Soon after.

Su Ming took the mobile platform to the third floor of the headquarters and walked along the long corridor towards Commander Soleiya's office.

The soldiers in charge of guard and security along the way saw Su Ming approaching and saluted him in admiration.

"General Su Ming!"

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Soon he arrived at the door of Soleiya's office.

dong dong!

Su Ming knocked on the door.

"come in!"

A serious voice came from the office.

Su Ming pushed the door open and walked in.

Commander Soleiya looked at Su Ming who came in, and said with a warm smile on her tense face.

"Here we go, sit down quickly!"

"Thank you, Commander."

Su Ming then sat in front of Soleiya.

"Su Ming, are you feeling better now?"

"much better."

"That's good. This is your military merit application report. I have written down all your achievements in the Abyss of the Fallen. You just need to submit it to the parliament for review."

Soleiya picked up a file bag and handed it to Su Ming.

"Commander, what are you doing?"

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

"Su Ming, given your current physical condition, I don't dare let you carry out the mission if you stay at the Sinking Abyss defense line. So I thought of letting you return to the third planet to recuperate. The medical conditions there will be better."

"understood."

"There's one more thing I want to ask you for help with."

Commander Soleiya said very politely.

Su Ming was also a little flattered and replied quickly.

"Commander Soleiya, please tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

"Okay, then I won't be shy about it. You've also seen how badly the inner defenses of the Abyss of Desolation have been damaged this time, right?"

"I saw it."

"This is the aid and pension report I submitted to the parliament. Please help me forward it to the parliament. At the same time, I hope you can help us speak more well in front of the parliament and ask the parliament to approve more aid and pensions for us."

Soleiya took out a very thick file bag and handed it to Su Ming, asking him to do something.

In Soleiya's opinion, those people in the parliament are extremely stingy. If they can get rid of you with 1 dollar, they will never pay a penny more.

Su Ming came to support on behalf of the parliament, and it was obvious that he was from the parliamentary faction. If he was willing to help, he should be able to have a say in the parliament.

That's why Soleiya asked Su Ming for help personally.

Su Ming was also in a dilemma when he heard this. He knew better than anyone how stingy the parliament was.

However, he did not refuse Commander Soleia. Instead, he reached out to take the file bag, took a deep breath and said.

"Commander Soleiya, even if you don't tell me, I will do my best for the dead soldiers."

"Your words are enough. I thank you on behalf of all the soldiers."

Soleiya said gratefully.

"This is what I should do. I'll leave now."

Su Ming replied modestly.

"it is good."

Soleiya nodded.

Su Ming took the file bag, turned around and left the office.
-
The lobby of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Starlight.

Old generals dressed in high-grade military uniforms, with white hair, resolute faces and sharp eyes, as well as old men dressed in various luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor gathered in the hall and talked irritably.

"What's going on? We've been waiting here for a long time, but Lord Jakkers still hasn't seen us."

"Is he hiding something from me?"

"I don't know, but if he doesn't let us see the Speaker, he must be hiding something!"

"Such a big incident happened, and it's over with just an announcement and cleanup?"

"My Lords, Lord Jakkers has been feeling unwell recently and it is not suitable for him to meet so many guests. Why don't you go back first?"

Yun Rou persuaded apologetically.

"No, no matter how late it is today, we have to see him!"

"that is!"

Everyone at the scene responded dissatisfiedly.

Yun Rou felt a little overwhelmed by the situation.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor, with rough skin and a tough face, hurried in and shouted.

"Lord Yunrou!"

"Captain Kanab, what happened?"

Yun Rou turned her head and looked at Captain Kanab and asked.

Kanab ran to Yunrou and whispered a few words in her ear.

Yun Rou's expression suddenly changed, and then she spoke.

"You receive them to the back hall first, and I will go and inform Lord Jakkers."

"it is good."

Kanab responded quickly.

Yun Rou then hurriedly left the hall.

Inside the office.

Jakkers sat at his desk, touching his forehead with one hand, looking very haggard.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Yun Rou walked in in a panic and said.

"Lord Jakkers, something bad has happened."

"Is Farron coming?"

Jakkers sighed and replied, "What is coming will eventually come."

"No, it's Long Chen, Long Ying and Long Lan who are here to visit."

Yunrou reported to Jakkers.

"What did you say? This is going to be a big trouble."

Jakkers stood up directly from his chair and said with a very grim expression.

He originally thought that the reckless man Fa Luo En would come over and cause a big commotion, but he didn't come, and instead Long Chen and the other two came.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We can only receive them. Where are they?"

"I've asked Kanab to take them to the back hall."

Yunrou said to Jakkers.

"Let's go to the back hall."

Jakkers took a deep breath and left the office with Yunrou.

Soon they arrived at the back hall, only to see Long Chen and the other two sitting in the reception chairs, leisurely drinking the brewed tea.

"Lord Long Chen, Lord Long Ying, Lord Long Lan. You are here, but you didn't even tell me in advance so that I could greet you at the door."

Jakkels took Yunrou into the back hall and greeted her warmly.

Long Chen and the other two stood up from their chairs and responded very politely.

"Why should we be so polite?"

"Yes, the rules cannot be broken. Please take a seat, my three lords."

Jakkers gave Long Chen and the other two enough face.

In fact, Lord Jakkers and Commander Aleck are both stewards of the Long family. One is in charge of the economy and government affairs of Starlight City, and the other is in charge of the Long family's army.

However, Long Chen and the other two are all children of the chairman of the parliament. If we only talk about family, their status is higher than that of Jakkers.

Of course, the reason why Long Chen and the others were so polite to Jiakels was that they wanted to get to the top, and they couldn't do without Jiakels' support.

"it is good."

Long Chen and the other two sat down again.

"I don't know, Lord Long Chen, you guys came to visit suddenly, is there something going on?"

Jakkers asked as if nothing had happened.

"Jackels, to be honest, we are here for that video."

Long Chen said to Jakkers.

"Master Long Chen, that video was synthesized by the Mechanicus, specifically to sow discord and divide us."

Jakkers explained quickly.

"Don't worry, Lord Jakkers. We naturally don't believe that video. But you also know that the three of us brothers and sisters haven't seen our father for a hundred years. As children, we really miss him. Do you think it's possible for us to meet our father?"

Long Chen stared at Jakkers and said.

"Third brother is right."

Long Ying and Long Lan echoed at the same time.

Jakkers' heart sank immediately. The request made by Long Chen and the other two was actually not excessive and even made sense.

The problem is that the three cannot meet the Speaker of Parliament now.

But these three people are not so easy to deal with, and don’t be fooled by their appearance of being easy to talk to, that’s just on the surface.

Long Chen is the Federation’s number one arms dealer, Long Ying controls the City of Sin and the Netherworld, and Long Lan controls the Federation’s largest logistics production base.

Each of the three men has a considerable private army at their disposal, and once they turn against each other, it’s no joke.

However, Jakkers still insisted on persuading him.

"Master Long Chen, listen to me. The current state of the Council Chairman is not suitable for meeting people."

"Lord Jakkers, please let us meet. If that doesn't work, we can just watch from afar. That's not too much to ask, right?"

Long Chen said politely to Jakkers.

"Third brother is right. You won't even give us this little bit of face, right?"

Long Ying spoke in a cold voice.

Long Lan spoke indifferently.

"Lord Jakkers, we trust you very much, but we hope you won't betray our trust by giving us perfunctory words."

Jakkers's old face changed for a while, then he sighed and said.

"Master Long Chen, listen to me. I can't make the decision on this matter. In fact, I can't see the Speaker of the Parliament either. Now only Long Bai can see the Speaker of the Parliament. Therefore, if you want to see the Speaker of the Parliament, you need Long Bai's consent."

"Humph! Long Bai is just a junior. We need our niece's consent to see our father. How can this be?"

Long Lan slapped the armrest, stood up, and spoke angrily.

"Lord Long Lan, calm down! That's true, but the problem is that when the chairman of the parliament was in seclusion, he specifically instructed that Long Bai would be responsible for all his affairs."

Jakkers explained to Long Lan.

When Long Ying heard this, he snorted coldly.

"Okay, if that's the case, then call Long Bai back and we'll talk to her in person!"

"I think what Fifth Brother said makes sense. Since you, Lord Jakkers, can't make the decision on this matter, let Long Bai talk to us."

Long Chen said lightly.

Although Long Chen's tone was calm, his attitude was very tough and firm.

"My three lords, please be patient. Lord Long Bai is on his way back. How about we discuss this matter in person after Lord Long Bai returns?"

Jakkers replied politely.

"it is good!"

When Long Chen and the other two heard what Jakkers said, they did not continue to embarrass him.

The Abyss of the Fallen: Federal Defense Headquarters.

In room A13.

Su Ming changed into a simple, slim-fitting casual outfit, raised his bracelet to send a message, then opened the door and left.

The exit of the Sky City Interstellar Orbit Train Station.

Su Ming walked out, went straight to the side of the street and waved his hand.

A black taxi drove over and stopped in front of Su Ming.

Su Ming opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Where are you going, sir?"

An uncle with a generous personality asked enthusiastically.

"Uncle, I want to ask if there is any good wine in the city of Heaven?"

Su Ming thought for a moment and asked.

"You asked the right question. The City of Heaven is run by the Heinte family. The Heinte family mainly deals in water resources, so they also run various wine businesses. One of the wines is particularly famous!"

The uncle said to Su Ming.

"What wine?"

"Honghualuo, that's a super famous good wine."

"Uncle, have you ever drunk it?"

"Sir, you are joking. How could I have drunk it? I haven't even smelled it."

"Then uncle, do you know where I can buy it in Tianjing City?"

"Of course I know that."

"Then go there."

Su Ming said to the uncle.

"okay!"

The uncle then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Ten minutes later, the uncle drove to the most prosperous commercial street in Tianjing City. He parked the car on the side of the road, pointed forward and said.

"See that Red Leaf Winery in front? That's the Red Flower Falls specialty store."

"Thank you."

Su Ming paid the fare and got out of the car.

He walked towards the Red Leaf Winery and soon arrived at the door.

This store is decorated in a very high-end style.

Su Ming walked straight into the store and saw rows of wine racks filled with all kinds of fine wines.

At this time, a tall waitress, wearing a red cheongsam and with a beautiful face, came forward and greeted politely.

"Would you like to buy some wine, sir?"

"Yes, I want to buy red flowers."

Su Ming said simply.

"Uh, sir, do you want to buy red flower drops?"

The waitress in front of him replied somewhat bewilderedly.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Sir, Red Flower Drops is very expensive, 1 million per bottle, and it seems that the store is out of stock now."

"No stock?"

"Yes, why don't you ask our boss?"

"Who is your boss?"

"That's the one."

The waitress pointed inside toward the counter.

Su Ming turned his head and looked over, only to see a young man wearing a floral shirt and a cigarette sitting at the counter. He was looking at something and looked very excited.

Su Ming walked over when he saw this.

At this time, Catro looked at the battle scenes shown in the video and shouted excitedly.

“Come on, come on!”

"Boss, I'm here to buy some wine."

Su Ming walked up to Cataro and spoke.

"No wine, get out of here!"

The young man replied impatiently.

Su Ming was also startled, and leaned over to take a puzzled look.

He was watching the battle footage between Ilinyas and the Gray Angel.

Su Ming was also stunned. Where did this guy get the battle video, and the angle of view was so good?

"Go! Go! Kill him!"

This Carter shouted with extreme excitement.

Soon the video showed Ilyas engulfing the Gray Angel.

"Awesome! Haha! How can Apocalypse's rubbish bio-mech be a match for the Federation's bio-mech? The Federation is the strongest."

Cataro laughed excitedly.

Then Catro turned off the video with satisfaction, but when he looked up, he saw Su Ming who was in deep thought.

He was stunned at first, then he asked.

"who are you?"

Su Ming came back to his senses, coughed and said.

"I'm here to buy some wine."

"Oh, sorry, I was busy. What kind of wine do you want to buy?"

Cataro then asked.

"I bought red flowers."

Su Ming was not angry and spoke directly to Catterall.

"Honghualuo, I'm sorry that this wine is sold out and we can't get it in stock. Why don't you look at something else?"

Catro was also a little surprised. This red flower is very expensive and not many people buy it.

"Ok."

Su Ming replied with some regret.

"Sir, let me show you the other wines."

At this time, the waitress came over and said respectfully.

"No, I'll see for myself."

Su Ming walked to the wine cabinet next to him and looked at the other wines.

At this time, the door of the store was opened again, and Evelyn walked in angrily with a glass of wine. She came to the counter, put the wine directly on the counter, and said to Carter angrily.

"Quit the drink!"

“Oh, Miss Evelyn, who made you angry?”

Catro greeted with a smile.

"It's none of your business, whether you withdraw or not."

Evelyn replied unhappily.

She was really pissed off at Mia. She had good intentions and brought wine to apologize, but she was treated so coldly.

Now that the wine has not been delivered and she doesn't drink, she can only return it.

"Retreat, of course I retreat."

Cataro said very cheerfully.

When the waitress at the side saw Evelin wanted to return the wine, she quickly left and walked to Su Ming's side, saying with a smile.

"Sir, someone just came to return the red flowers. Do you want some more?"

"want!"

Su Ming replied without even thinking.

"plz follow me."

The waitress then took Su Ming towards the counter.

Soon they came to the counter, and Su Ming was startled to see Evelyn returning the wine, then he greeted her.

"Lady Evelyn."

"Su Ming, why are you here?"

Evelyn was also shocked when she saw Su Ming, and was very surprised.

"I'm here to buy red flowers."

Su Ming did not hide it.

When Evelyn heard Su Ming's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately picked up the bottle of Red Flower Drops, handed it to Su Ming and said.

"gave it to you."

"No, I won't let you spend money."

Su Ming quickly refused.

"Don't be polite with me. I'll give it to you."

Evelyn placed the wine in Su Ming's hand and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Su Ming quickly chased after her and stopped Evelin and said.

"Lord Evelyn, this is inappropriate! This wine is very expensive, I can't take it from you for free, I'll give you the card number."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Didn't you save me on the battlefield before? I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you. Just accept it."

Evelyn said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"this."

"If you don't accept it, I'll be very upset."

"OK then."

When Su Ming heard Evelin say this, he took it.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Evelyn left in a panic.

Seeing Evelin walking so quickly, Su Ming shook his head helplessly, then left with the wine.

Cattro couldn't help but mutter as he looked at Evelyn and Su Ming's backs as they left.

"Did the sun rise from the west today?"

"Master Catro, it's rare to see Miss Evelyn being so close to someone, and she would give such an expensive wine as a gift."

The girl next to her asked curiously.

"What's so strange about that? Spring is here."

Cattro said with a smile.

"I see."

……

Dusk.

In front of the Blue Restaurant.

Su Ming held the red flower and stood there quietly waiting.

At this time a familiar voice came.

"I am coming!"

After hearing this, Su Ming turned his head and looked over. He saw Mia wearing a white shirt with the buttons about to burst. She had a black jacket on the outside, a black hip skirt, black stockings and high heels on the lower body. Her golden hair was draped over her shoulders. She was very beautiful, and her demeanor revealed a mature temperament and charm.

Su Ming was slightly startled and somewhat amazed, but he quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile.

"Teacher Mia, you are late."

"Ahem, this is because something delayed me."

Mia replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay, let's eat seafood then."

"Well, forget about the seafood. It's not very tasty."

"It's okay, it's my treat."

Su Ming said with a smile.

In fact, when Rhine suggested eating seafood last time, Su Ming could more or less see that it was not that Mia didn't want to eat it, but that she was short of money.

"Forget it, let's just eat at that barbecue restaurant."

Mia shook her head and replied.

She didn't want Su Ming to spend money. The seafood was extremely expensive. Even if two people were eating it, the cost would be quite high.

"Ok."

Su Ming agreed when he heard Mia say that.

The two of them walked forward together. Passersby along the way couldn't help but look at them, and the rate of turning back was very high.

Soon they arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

It turned out to be very lively here, with all the stone tables filled with people.

"So many people? It seems there is no room left."

Su Ming said in surprise.

"It's just a small matter. Watch me!"

Mia walked straight up to the boss and shouted.

"boss!"

"Oh, isn't this Lady Mia, you guys are here!"

"correct."

"But Lady Mia, there are too many people today and there is no room left."

The boss said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, there are only two of us."

Mia said to her boss.

"That's easy. I'll set up a table for you."

The boss then moved a simple iron table and set it up by the nearby river.

Su Ming and Mia sat down immediately.

"What would you like to eat?"

the boss asked enthusiastically.

"Old rules, just do it as you see fit."

Mia is not that particular.

"Row!"

The boss responded with a smile.

Soon plates of barbecue were served.

Su Ming then picked up the red flower, placed it on the table and said.

"Teacher Mia, this is for you."

"Wow, Red Flower Falls! This is really good wine. I really love you well."

Mia's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a grin.

"hehe."

Su Ming smiled.

However, after Mia picked up the bottle of red flowers, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked. It looked very much like the one Evelyn had given her.

In fact, she felt sad for a long time after returning the wine to Evelyn.

"Teacher Mia, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this wine?"

Su Ming asked curiously when he saw Mia constantly looking at the wine.

"There's nothing wrong with this wine, but why does it look so familiar to me? Does it look like the bottle Evelyn owns?"

Mia asked suspiciously.

"As for wine, it must be the same."

Su Ming's expression froze for a moment, and then he spoke.

It would be embarrassing if she knew that it was sent by her mortal enemy.

"That makes sense, let's have a drink first!"

Mia then unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a glass for each of them.

"it is good!"

Su Ming and Mia clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

This wine is very mellow and not strong. It flows through the throat when it enters the mouth and makes the stomach feel warm when it enters the stomach. It is really very good.

"Good wine!"

Mia praised with great satisfaction.

"As long as you like it."

"By the way, you little brat, why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"

Mia asked curiously.

Su Ming's action of pouring wine paused for a moment.

Mia also noticed it keenly and continued to ask.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just accepted a mission from Commander Soleiya and am returning to the Federation. I'm going to rest in the Federation and will be leaving soon."

After Mia heard this, her expression darkened for a moment, then she picked up the wine, took a sip, and spoke.

"Leaving so soon?"

"Ah."

"What task did the old woman give me?"

Mia asked as she sipped her drink.

"It's not a big mission. They just asked me to help ask the parliament for aid and compensation."

Su Ming said as he took a sip of wine.

"You're taking on such a thankless task? You know the parliament is very stingy."

Mia reminded with a little surprise.

"We have to accept it. We can't let the soldiers who fought on the front line die in vain. We have to get more for them."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"That's true, but don't you know that the parliament has no money either?"

Mia reminded Su Ming.

"If you don't have money, you can always find some way to squeeze it in."

"Push? Where to push? If you push from the bottom, the people below will probably rebel. If you push from the people above, those guys will definitely not let you go."

"Well, let me think about it."

Su Ming said with a headache.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore. Cheers!"

Mia said, raising her glass.

"it is good!"

Su Ming picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Mia's, and drank it all in one gulp.

A gentle breeze blew by.

The two sat by the river, drinking and talking about the past.

Various lotus lanterns and paper boats are floating on the river next to it, which is very beautiful.

After a long time, the whole bottle of Red Flower was finished, and Mia said with some dissatisfaction.

"There's no more wine. I'll go ask the boss for some."

"I'll go."

Su Ming immediately stood up.

"Okay, just get ten cases of beer."

Mia isn't picky either.

"..."

Su Ming left straight away.

When he arrived at the stall, he saw the boss chatting animatedly with several customers who were drinking.

He then walked over and heard the guests chatting as he approached.

"Let me tell you, that biological mecha from the Federation is truly amazing!"

"I have watched the video. Andefa's death was not unjust at all."

"I feel like that bio-mech has about the same aura as Long Mie, and it's probably able to rival General Gabres."

"I feel the same way, but it's incredible that he can rival General Gabres. You have to know how strong General Gabres is!"

"Yes, by the way, who is driving that biological mecha?"

"I think it's a general named Su Ming? I'm not sure about the details."

Su Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard them all talking about him, then he coughed and shouted.

"boss."

When the boss heard Su Ming calling him, he immediately spoke to several guests.

"You guys chat first, I'll entertain the guests."

"Go."

The guests replied with a smile.

The boss quickly greeted Su Ming.

"What do you want, sir?"

"Do you have any beer? Bring me two boxes first."

"no problem."

"By the way, boss, why are there so many people here today? Is today a holiday?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"Today is not a festival, but because many people come to release prayer boats and lotus lanterns to pray for the dead federal soldiers."

The boss explained to Su Ming.

"Ah? For the Federation soldiers?"

"Yes, they are all their family members and friends."

"Wait, their families live here?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"Of course, this place is so far from the Federation, many soldiers and officers moved their families here. As for releasing the blessing boats and lotus lanterns, this is the tradition of the Celestial Realm City. Those blessing boats and lotus lanterns will flow along the river and reach a diversion outlet below. From the bottom of the Celestial Realm City, they will be arranged into the starry sky and drift towards the Abyss of Destruction. According to legend, those blessing boats and lotus lanterns will bring the souls of the dead soldiers to reincarnation."

The boss explained to Su Ming.

"I see."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

"Sir, are those skewers enough for you? How about I serve you some more?"

the boss asked enthusiastically.

"Okay, just go up a little more."

Su Ming instructed and walked towards Mia.

At this time, Mia saw Su Ming coming back and couldn't help but complain.

"Why so slow?"

"Nothing, just chatted with the boss for a few minutes, the wine will be delivered soon."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Okay, I won't come home until I get drunk today!"

Mia said happily.

"it is good!"

Su Ming responded with a smile.

A few hours later.

The Abyss of the Fallen: Federal Defense Headquarters.

Su Ming supported Mia and walked towards the room. Mia leaned on Su Ming, her face flushed, and kept muttering.

"Have another drink. I can still drink."

"Teacher, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

He didn't expect that the bottle of Honghualuo would have such a strong aftereffect. It was fine after he finished drinking it, but when he drank beer, the aftereffect started to kick in.

Soon Su Ming helped Mia to the door of the room and opened it.

He helped Mia to the bedroom, picked her up, and carefully placed her on the bed.

After doing all this, Su Ming couldn't help but let out a breath, then reached out and gently took off Mia's coat.

As a result, as soon as he took off his left shoulder, Mia immediately raised her left shoulder.

Su Ming was stunned, then speechless, and reached out to take off his right shoulder, but Mia lifted her right shoulder again.

For a moment, Su Ming was a little bit amused and helpless.

Then he reached out to take off his high heels and stockings, picked up the quilt and covered Mia.

After Su Ming finished doing all this, he carefully left the house.

When the door closed, Mia slowly opened her eyes and said with a smile.

"This boy is quite a gentleman."

In the corridor, Su Ming had just left the room.

Rhine and others came over and spoke.

"Boss."

"Are you all ready?"

Su Ming looked at Lai Rhine and others and asked.

"All right."

Rhine and others responded seriously.

"Well, let's go."

Su Ming then left with Rhine and others and headed for the Falling Light.
