Day after day, night after night.
Time always slipped away silently and imperceptibly, especially for those who focused body and mind on certain things.
In the blink of an eye it was dark, and in another blink of an eye, it was still dark...
Pulling all-nighters, wasn't that just the norm?
Just like that, several months passed, passing peacefully and without a ripple.
"Clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack~"
Inside the training room, Ostrich's teeth chattered uncontrollably, suspended mid-air in a state of calm mixed with a hint of utter despair.
As for the others, they didn't even spare him a glance: a normal phenomenon, it wouldn't kill a man.
Over the past few months, they had grown accustomed to the daily high-pulse electricity that left their entire bodies uncontrollable.
They even had a profound realization regarding how carbon-based life forms floated in zero gravity.
Any one of them could pull off a stellar performance as a floating space corpse in a sci-fi movie at a moment's notice.
At the same time, Ostrich was the cream of the crop among them, and everyone believed that he could easily sweep the best prop design award at any film festival with this performance.
"I'm saying, Ostrich, is your brain capacity really that small?" Guo Yi looked helplessly at the projection, stared at Ostrich's calm face, and couldn't help roaring: "How on earth did you get into the special forces?
Are you here to perform acrobatics?
Planning to scare the enemy to death, are you!
And you call yourself a strategic sniper. With reflexes like yours, if a target shoved themselves right in your face, you'd still manage to play it out like a human outline drawing!"
Following Guo Yi's words, inside the room, on the wall in front of them, a projection of a combat scene appeared.
An animated combat scene featuring a Gundam silhouette showed up on it.
They saw this Gundam first execute a horizontal split to dodge a missile aimed at its crotch.
Then the engine thrusters on the back of the Gundam increased their output, and the entire Gundam performed a cartwheel on the spot from the horizontal split position, dodging a missile at its waist.
And then there was no more...
An infrared-guided missile chased the engine exhaust port on the back of the Gundam, traced an arc, and blew the Gundam's engine to pieces directly...
Of course, this was a demonstration animation.
If it were real, then it would at most lead to an engine port malfunction, and more likely just detonate the engine's thruster nozzle and knock off a few flakes of paint.
Unfortunately, it was training now, and the training system directly judged it as a failure to evade, resulting in a hit to a vital spot.
As for this demonstration animation, it was the scene of Ostrich's training just a moment ago.
Guo Yi simply couldn't endure it any longer, so he directly projected it for a public execution!
"Heh, truly worthy of being Ostrich." Shi Dafan watched Ostrich's movements, so amused that his eyes crinkled shut: "Don't you guys think this movement looks just like an ostrich whose legs have been pried open by someone, getting ready to be braised?"
The rest of the crowd also looked speechlessly at Ostrich: how on earth did this guy pull off such a high-difficulty move?
"This is just excitement, alright~" After recovering, Ostrich explained helplessly: "I was thinking that we're moving today, and we'll soon have a real Gundam cockpit to practice in.
Finally, I don't have to look at this damn cartoon and drool with craving anymore!
Don't tell me you guys aren't excited!"
That's right, after several months, Guo Yi's new home, Zero Laboratory, was ready.
Under the full might of the Infrastructure Maniac, an underground laboratory and special factory covering a total area of 640,000 square meters was completely constructed.
In terms of specifications, it was even a bit larger than the blueprints Guo Yi had provided!
Originally, according to Guo Yi's blueprints, it was only 360,000 square meters, and now it was almost twice as large!
For this reason, Guo Yi had even revised the blueprints once.
At the same time, under Guo Yi's careful "guidance," the training personnel could also maneuver multiple Gundam systems to perform some simple dodging training.
Although they had never operated a real machine, all the buttons were already memorized by heart, and their mental load had basically reached the standard.
And this afternoon, a convoy was coming here to transport some detachable equipment and start the move.
Among them, the most important one was that half-finished Gundam model.
As for what could not be transported or needed to be left behind, it was sealed directly here, which included the modified Qiongqi-Zero Full-Coverage Exoskeleton Armor that served as the main guard machine.
At the same time, the equipment that could not be transported was also specially remade and installed at the new home according to the blueprints provided by Guo Yi.
As for whether the old home would be infiltrated by anyone after they went to the new home?
Just understand the assault results of Lone Wolf Squad and Cobra Squad...
And a forced assault?
Not to mention that Guo Yi could receive a warning at the very first moment, just think about the commotion.
By the time they fought their way in, they would probably have been surrounded ten layers deep and ten layers wide.
Not to mention that inside the factory building, Guo Yi had specially deployed a batch of robots dedicated to defense, standing by in the underground space who could be activated at any time and kill intruders.
Of course, this was with authorization obtained: any intruders without application and consent could be executed on the spot.
Otherwise, Guo Yi wouldn't dare to actually equip these robots with lethal weapons...
Therefore, Guo Yi appeared calm on the outside, but was actually very excited on the inside: after all, a new home!
More importantly, he could finally live under the bright sun!
Subsequently, Guo Yi thought for a moment, waved his hand grandly, and said to the group: "Forget it, let's rest; we won't train today!
To be honest, I also want to go to the new home sooner; staying here always feels tied down and I can't let go...
Let's go, we'll set off early, no waiting!"
With that, Guo Yi scooped up Doggie and left the room directly, while the lights in various parts of the underground began to gradually extinguish.
"Boom~"
Outside the factory gates, Guo Yi watched the factory gates behind him slowly close, and suddenly, for some unknown reason, felt an exceptionally lost and frightened feeling in his heart.
"Don't want to leave?"
Ostrich looked at Guo Yi's complicated expression and smiled cheerfully: "Out with the old, in with the new!"
"This place is my only home, the place where I truly grew up since I was a child..."
Guo Yi said in a low voice, tightening his grip on the arm holding Doggie, and said with some complexity: "I... have no friends, no family, and it's as if from the moment of my birth, I have been out of tune with this world... You tell me, why did they not want me, yet let me appear in this world?
In my memory, the only things accompanying me were all kinds of machines. Perhaps only machines will not betray, and I won't get hurt..."
"Why so sentimental?" Just as Guo Yi was muttering under his breath, Ostrich threw an arm around Guo Yi's shoulder and said with a sincere smile: "Doraemon, don't be sad.
Aren't we accompanying you now?
Besides, you never take a step outside your front door; how can you make friends if you don't go out?"
Guo Yi was slightly startled, but under Ostrich's digression, his mood calmed down slightly.
Following that, Guo Yi rolled his eyes at Ostrich and irritably swatted his hand away: "If you call me by this nickname again, I'll torture you to death!"
Because Guo Yi possessed all kinds of black technology knowledge and would churn out small black technology gadgets from time to time, Ostrich once complained to the others: Guo Yi was just like Doraemon, pulling out unreasonable and unconventional gadgets from time to time.
Later on, this nickname slowly spread from the factory building to He Zhizhun and the others' ears, and finally everyone tacitly accepted this nickname.
For this reason, Ostrich entered the training room upright and was carried back to the dorm on a stretcher for a consecutive week.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Guo Little Ding-dong, wait for me."
Ostrich watched Guo Yi walking away in long strides and trotted eagerly behind him, while Medic followed along as well, accompanied by Leng Feng.
"Heh, Little Ding-dong, once you jump into the military pit, you will never feel lonely.
Just watch out that your brain doesn't get caught in a door. Although I'm a medic, I can't do anything about brain diseases!"
"That's assuming you don't run into freaks like them~ Why go to Wolf Fang's hooligan base anyway?
You should be heading to War Wolf instead!"
"The biggest freak among us is you..."
"..."
"You guys say those four really live up to being our F4 Group!"
Xiao Zhuang poked Old Cannon and muttered in a low voice: "It used to be lively enough with Ostrich and Medic, and now add Little Ding-dong and Leng Feng to the mix..."
"Alright, let's go." Geng Jihui looked smilingly at the quartet ahead, greeted the rest of the group, and followed after them.
Afterwards, the crowd did not wait for the transport convoy to set off together, but reported to the corresponding personnel and directly set out early toward the new home.
