Heading to the New Home

Day after day, night after night.

Time always slips away silently and imperceptibly, especially for those who are fully focused on certain tasks.

In the blink of an eye, it turns dark, and in another blink, it is still dark...

Pulling all-nighters—isn't that the norm?

Just like that, several months passed, peacefully and without a ripple.

"D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d~"

Inside the training room, Ostrich's teeth could not stop chattering, and he floated in mid-air with a calm yet soul-crushed expression.

As for the others, they didn't even spare him a glance: it was a normal phenomenon, nobody was going to die.

Over these past few months, they had grown accustomed to their entire bodies' muscles losing control due to the daily high-pulse electrical stimulation.

They had even gained profound insights into how carbon-based lifeforms float in zero gravity.

Any one of them could, at a moment's notice, give a perfect performance as a floating space corpse in a sci-fi movie.

At the same time, Ostrich was the standout among them; everyone believed that with this performance, Ostrich could easily sweep the Best Prop Design award at any film festival.

"Tell me, Ostrich, is your brain capacity actually that small?" Guo Yi looked at the projection with a helpless expression, staring at Ostrich's calm face, and couldn't help but roar: "How on earth did you get into the special forces?

Are you here to perform circus tricks?

Planning to scare the enemy to death, are you!

And you call yourself a strategic sniper? With reflexes like yours, even if a target was shoved right in your face, you'd still manage to outline their body shape with your bullets!"

Following Guo Yi's words, a combat scene was projected onto the wall in front of them inside the room.

An animated combat scene featuring a Gundam silhouette appeared on it.

The Gundam was seen performing a side split to dodge a missile aimed at its crotch.

Then, the thrusters on the Gundam's back increased their output, and the entire Gundam, still in a side-split pose, performed a backflip on the spot to dodge a missile aimed at its waist.

And then, there was no then...

An infrared-guided missile followed the heat from the Gundam's back thrusters, traced an arc, and blew the Gundam's engine to pieces...

Of course, this was a demonstration animation.

If it were real, it would at most cause an engine malfunction, or more likely, just detonate the exhaust port and chip off some paint.

Unfortunately, this was training, and the training system directly judged it as a failed dodge and a critical hit.

This demonstration animation was the scene of Ostrich's recent training.

Guo Yi simply couldn't take it anymore, so he played it back to execute him in public!

"Heh, as expected of Ostrich." Shi Dafan looked at Ostrich's movements, so amused that his eyes disappeared: "Don't you guys think this move looks like an ostrich having its legs spread apart, ready to be braised?"

The others also looked at Ostrich speechlessly: How did this guy manage to pull off such a high-difficulty move?

"It's just excitement~" Ostrich explained helplessly after recovering: "Thinking that we're moving today, we'll soon have a real Gundam cockpit to practice in.

Finally, I won't have to stare at this damn cartoon and drool with envy!

Don't tell me you guys aren't excited!"

Yes, after several months, Guo Yi's new home, Zero Laboratory, was finally ready.

Under the full force of the Infrastructure Maniac, an underground laboratory and special factory covering a total area of 640,000 square meters had been completely constructed.

The specifications were even slightly larger than the blueprints Guo Yi had provided!

Originally, according to Guo Yi's blueprints, it was only 360,000 square meters, but now it was nearly twice that size!

For this reason, Guo Yi had even revised the blueprints once.

At the same time, the trainees, under Guo Yi's meticulous "guidance," could now handle multiple Gundam systems and perform some simple evasive maneuvers.

Although they hadn't operated the real machine, all the buttons were memorized by heart, and their mental load was basically up to standard.

This afternoon, a convoy would arrive to transport some of the detachable equipment and begin the move.

The most important of these was the half-finished Gundam model.

Anything that couldn't be moved or required personnel to stay behind would be sealed here, including the Qiongqi-Zero full-coverage Exoskeleton Armor, which had been modified to become the primary defensive machine.

At the same time, the equipment that couldn't be moved had been specially manufactured and installed at the new location according to Guo Yi's blueprints.

As for whether the old base would be infiltrated after they moved to the new one?

Look into the results of the raids by Lone Wolf Squad and Cobra Squad...

And a frontal assault?

Not to mention that Guo Yi would receive a warning at the first sign of trouble, just consider the commotion it would cause.

By the time they managed to break in, they would likely already be surrounded ten layers deep.

Not to mention that inside the factory, Guo Yi had specifically placed a batch of robots dedicated to defense, waiting in the underground area, ready to be activated at any time to kill intruders.

Of course, this was authorized: any intruder who had not applied for or received permission could be executed on the spot.

Otherwise, Guo Yi would never dare to truly equip these robots with lethal weapons...

Therefore, while Guo Yi appeared calm on the surface, he was actually quite excited inside: after all, it was a new home!

More importantly, he could finally live in the light of day!

Afterward, Guo Yi thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said to everyone, "Forget it, let's rest; no training today!

To tell the truth, I also want to get to the new home early; it's always felt restrictive and stifling here...

Let's go, we'll set off ahead of schedule, no need to wait!"

Having said that, Guo Yi picked up the dog and left the room directly, while the lights throughout the underground facility began to extinguish one by one.

"Boom~"

Outside the factory gate, Guo Yi watched the gate behind him slowly close, and suddenly, for some reason, he felt exceptionally lost and afraid.

"Don't want to leave?"

Ostrich looked at Guo Yi's complex expression and chuckled, "Out with the old, in with the new!"

"This place is my only home, the place where I truly grew up from childhood..."

Guo Yi's tone was low; he tightened his grip on the dog and said with complicated emotions, "I... have no friends, no family, as if from the moment I was born, I was out of place in this world... Tell me, why did they not want me, yet still let me appear in this world?

In my memories, the only things that accompanied me were various machines. Perhaps only machines will not betray me, and only then will I not get hurt..."

"Why be so sentimental?" Just as Guo Yi was murmuring, 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 step out of your door; how can you make friends if you don't come out?"

Guo Yi was stunned, and under Ostrich's interruption, his mood calmed down slightly.

Guo Yi then rolled his eyes at Ostrich and slapped his hand away irritably, "If you call me that nickname again, I'll play you to death!"

Because Guo Yi possessed various Black Technology knowledge and would occasionally produce small Black Technology gadgets, Ostrich once complained to everyone: Guo Yi was just like a Doraemon, pulling out unreasonable and unconventional items from time to time.

Later, this nickname gradually spread from the factory to the ears of He Zhijun and the others, and eventually, everyone accepted it as his default nickname.

For this, Ostrich spent an entire week walking into the training room upright and being carried back to the dormitory.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Guo Ding-dong, wait for me."

Ostrich watched Guo Yi walking away quickly and trotted after him, with Medic following along, as well as Leng Feng.

"Hehe, Little Ding-dong, once you fall into the pit of the military, you will never feel lonely.

Just be careful not to get your brain caught in a door; although I am a Medic, I can't do anything about brain diseases!"

"The premise is not to meet these kinds of **~ Why go to the Wolf Fang hooligan base?

You should have gone to War Wolf instead!"

"The biggest ** among us is you..."

"..."

"You have to say, those four are truly worthy of being our F4 Group!"

Xiao Zhuang nudged Old Cannon and whispered, "It was already lively enough with Ostrich and Medic before, but now with Little Ding-dong and Leng Feng added to the mix..."

"Alright, let's go." Geng Jihui watched the quartet ahead with a smile, greeted the others, and followed them.

Subsequently, the group did not wait for the transport convoy to depart together; instead, they reported to the relevant personnel and set off for their new home ahead of schedule.
