At that time, Naluo was imprisoned in a dark cell for several days. The loneliness and isolation directly magnified Naluo's fear of fighting alone in Prometheus until now. She saw no hope, no future, and only endless confusion and loneliness.
But at that time, Graham sighed slightly and couldn't bear to reach out his hand to gently help Naluo up from the ground. Naluo's heart was touched at that time. During the subsequent contact with Graham, she was also deeply attracted by Graham's hearty smile and strong self-confidence. These were things that she, a woman who didn't know what to do with the future, did not have. Naluo's heart was moved.
However, this heartbeat was deeply hidden by Naluo. She knew very well that she and Graham were not from the same world. Just as the literal meaning meant, they were indeed not from the same world, and even if their heartbeat would have no result, there would be no result. And only Naluo knew about this feeling.
But if Naluo talks too much and tells Xiao Ran that she likes Graham, Xiao Ran may find it funny, and of course it will also give Naluo a chance to make things happen, which is to brush up Graham's favorability and bring Graham back to Prometheus.
Naluo didn't say anything, so Xiao Ran didn't know. After Naluo sent Xiao Ran to Sky Ladder Orbit in UNION, Xiao Ran asked her to go to Heavenly God Second Base as soon as possible to count the participants' opinions on body modification. Xiao Ran himself got on the orbital elevator wearing casual clothes and ascended directly into the universe.
Because he purchased the ticket for the entire box alone, Xiao Ran was the only one sitting in the box along the way and fell asleep in a deep sleep. It wasn't until the service staff came over and patted Xiao Ran gently that he woke up.
"Sir, sir, the orbital elevator has arrived at its destination."
Xiao Ran opened his eyes in confusion, turned to look at the service staff who woke him up, rubbed his temples and then smiled slightly, "Thank you for waking me up."
"You're welcome." The service staff smiled, then turned around and floated out.
Xiao Ran also unbuckled his seat belt. Without the restraints of the seat belt, Xiao Ran slowly floated up and left the box with his feet directly on the ground.
After leaving the train-like rail elevator and entering the reception hall, he stood on the ground again. After looking around, Xiao Ran walked into a corner bathroom. There was also a sign in front of the bathroom door indicating that it was temporarily suspended for repairs. It was not until he entered that Xiao Ran waved to Graham, who was already waiting here.
"General." Graham walked up to Xiao Ran carrying a handbag and handed the handbag directly to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran finally carried the bag and patted Graham on the shoulder. "I'm lucky to have you in this period, Graham."
Graham shook his head slightly. "As the commander's subordinate, this is what I should do. The people I came into contact with during this period were also recorded according to the general, and can be found in the mask's storage information. At the same time, I also tried my best to avoid contact with more people."
Speaking of this, Graham shook his head with a disdainful smile, "But because Tri-Nation Allied Forces's operation failed, and we were the first to retreat with the smallest losses, the commanders of the AEU and Humanity Federation requested a meeting tomorrow, and the general needs to be present in person, as if to hold us accountable."
Xiao Ran frowned, took out his own military uniform from his handbag, put it on, and asked, "What do you mean by the local side?"
"I asked people to avoid having a personal conversation with the president on the grounds that the general was ill. Although the local side did not say it clearly, they still supported us in taking the lead in retreating. This is just because this operation is a joint operation of the three countries after all, and a reasonable explanation needs to be given to the other two sides. The general will make the final decision on the specific matters."
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, and said, "I understand. Let someone compile a copy of the battle records. I will use them then."
"Okay, General." Graham nodded.
After Xiao Ran changed his clothes, he put his mask on his face when he walked out of the bathroom. He watched the various information pop-up from the eyes of the mask while walking, and selected the more important things to memorize secretly.
Xiao Ran, who has regained his identity, has not been suspected by anyone. After all, no one in Sky Ladder Orbit has had much contact with Xiao Ran. Naturally, they don't know what kind of person Xiao Ran is. Even if there is something wrong, they will only think that Xiao Ran is sick because he is not used to it after coming to the universe.
On the next day, Lieutenant Colonel Rodia in Sky Ladder Orbit found Xiao Ran in Xiao Ran's temporary office.
After entering the office, Lieutenant Colonel Rodia saluted Xiao Ran before speaking, "General, Humanity Federation's Major General Kim, AEU's Brigadier General Arthur Goodman and his entourage are expected to arrive in twenty minutes. Do you need to make any preparations?"
"I know, get ready, I'll go and greet them personally." Xiao Ran put down the pen in his hand and stood up, but Lieutenant Colonel Rodia asked hesitantly, "General, do you need to receive them in person due to your current physical condition?"
From the perspective of Lieutenant Colonel Rodia, Xiao Ran had rarely appeared in the past few days because of illness. For a meeting that might last a long time, he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ran's health.
But Xiao Ran waved his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant Colonel. I am much better now. As hosts, if we don't go to greet you, it won't show our sincerity."
Seeing that Xiao Ran had a firm attitude, Lieutenant Colonel Rodia could only nod his head. "Okay, General."
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran was already waiting in the reception hall with a series of senior officers from Sky Ladder Orbit. For Sky Ladder Orbit, there was no such thing as being late. They would basically arrive at the scheduled time. Not long after waiting, they heard the reminder that Sky Ladder Orbit had arrived.
But after waiting for almost ten minutes, Major General Kim from Humanity Federation and Brigadier General Goodman from the AEU were not seen coming out, nor were any relevant personnel from the two countries appearing in sight.
Lieutenant Colonel Rodia frowned next to him, and Graham also showed a look of interest. However, Xiao Ran always maintained a faint smile, as if he didn't care at all.
Lieutenant Colonel Rodia finally couldn't help but walked to Xiao Ran, put his head close to Xiao Ran's ear and whispered, "General, they are deliberately leaving us indifferent, do we have to continue to wait?"
"Wait, why don't you wait." Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Bring me a table and chairs. Since they want to do this, we will accompany them and have someone prepare breakfast tea for me."
Rodia Lieutenant Colonel was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "I understand."
