Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 42 Blue Blood Man
Li Jiu thought about what he had gained from this mission, then stood up from the sofa, stretched himself, and a feeling of drowsiness came over him.
Speaking of which, he was really tired today. First, he took a flight for several hours from China to the Central Asian desert, then he ran ten kilometers in the desert to the defenders' camp in the Gobi Desert, and then he and his team killed more than sixty enemies, and finally took another flight for several hours to rush back to the alliance base.
But it turns out that he didn't have any rest at all throughout the day!
Although Li Jiu is a clone warrior and his body has been strengthened, this is his first mission after all, and he suddenly can't handle such high-intensity combat.
So next, Li Jiu took a cold shower in the bathroom in the dormitory. After feeling a little more comfortable, he lay down on the big bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, bursts of thunderous snoring could be heard in Li Jiu's dormitory...
Early the next morning, when the soft light shone through the window onto Li Jiu's angular face, he slowly opened his deep eyes.
The next moment, this guy jumped off the big bed as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He was full of energy again, with an inexplicable smile on his lips. I wonder if this guy dreamed about the girl he liked last night...
Afterwards, Li Jiu quickly washed up and went downstairs in a good mood, intending to have breakfast in the cafeteria in the base. Seriously speaking, he had not eaten a formal meal in the cafeteria in the base since he woke up, and he didn't know whether the food here was to his taste.
Along the way, he met many mercenaries from other teams. Among these people were yellow, white, black, brown, and even blue-skinned people, which Li Jiu had only heard of in the virtual world but had never seen before.
Since he had never seen them before, Li Jiu was very curious about those blue-skinned mercenaries. Whenever he met one, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Only when they rolled their eyes at him would he smile awkwardly, turn his head away and continue on his way. It can be said that his face was thicker than a city wall...
After careful observation, Li Jiu found that most of these blue people, both men and women, were very handsome, just like the elves in the fairy tales. Their skin was much thinner than that of other races, and one could even vaguely see the blood vessels under the skin. What was even more incredible was that the blood flowing in their blood vessels was also blue...
Speaking of those blue-skinned mercenaries, Li Jiu had seen them once before in the Night Rose Mercenary Group. Out of curiosity, he asked Kaqi about some things about them. As a result, after a conversation with Kaqi, he actually got an incredible answer...
That is, although blue-skinned people have existed in the history of the Earth, their numbers have always been very small. Until five years ago, after the war broke out, those blue-skinned people, for some reason, suddenly appeared in large numbers in the Alliance like mushrooms after a rain!
It is said that this incident caused a lot of uproar in the alliance at that time. There were rumors that the Lurker Alliance government even made a plan to kill all blue-skinned people!
Because the timing of the sudden increase in the number of people with blue skin was too coincidental, it happened just when the war broke out, so the Alliance government suspected that those blue-skinned people were likely related to the Defender Empire!
However, just when the Lurker Alliance government was about to implement the plan to eliminate the blue people, they were shocked to find that the population of the blue people had increased to a level comparable to that of other races at some point in time!
After discovering this, the Alliance government immediately canceled the plan because they knew that once the plan was implemented, it would inevitably trigger an unstoppable super-racial war within the Alliance!
If that time really comes, there will be no need for the "God" to send defenders to destroy them. The racial war with the blue people alone will be enough to completely destroy the entire alliance from within!
Fortunately, although the number of blue people has increased dramatically, they have never done anything that is detrimental to the alliance. In fact, compared to other races, the overall quality of the blue people seems to be much higher, and they are definitely good citizens who abide by the law.
So, in the end, the matter of blue-skinned people was left unresolved. It was not until a few years later that people finally accepted those blue-skinned people and, because their blood was blue, they affectionately called them blue-blooded people...
At that time, Li Jiu was also shocked after learning about this history. However, at the same time, it also made him feel that the blue race seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, which made him very eager to unveil that veil...
Li Jiu recalled the things about the blue-blooded man and couldn't help feeling a little excited, so he habitually took out a pack of Sabre brand cigarettes from his body, took out one and lit it.
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu took a deep breath and his mood calmed down instantly.
Although he was somewhat curious about the affairs of the blue-blooded people, he was in no mood to get to the bottom of it. The most important thing was to fill his stomach first.
So, next, Li Jiu went straight to the cafeteria in the base...
The cafeteria of the Night Rose Mercenary Group is very large and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very spacious for the Night Rose Mercenary Group, which only has about a hundred people.
After Li Jiu arrived at the cafeteria, he glanced at the layout inside.
This is a bright hall with a row of dining windows with transparent glass at the innermost part. There are many dining tables and chairs in the hall.
Li Jiu randomly chose a window and walked over.
There is no one at this window now. The person getting food inside is a cute girl in a pink dress. She has a rosy face and looks only about sixteen or seventeen years old.
When Li Jiu came up to her, he smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, give me a portion of braised beef, a bottle of beer, and a pack of ten-yuan Sabre cigarettes."
"Okay, the beef is free, the beer is five yuan, and the cigarettes are ten yuan, a total of fifteen yuan." The girl smiled sweetly, her voice was like a silver bell, and she quickly brought out a silver-white metal plate, on which was piled a pound of braised beef, as well as beer and cigarettes.
"Thank you." Li Jiu took the plate, nodded with a smile, then took out a bank card from his pocket and paid 15 yuan in Alliance Coins at the card machine next to the window.
Then he took the plate and went to the cafeteria hall to find a seat for dining.
Although it is now 2135 and human technology is already very advanced, Li Jiu has discovered through his understanding over the past few days that many aspects of the world today are very similar to the world in the early 21st century, such as the bank card, which has been preserved.
Li Jiu's money was mainly stored in the "God of War System", but he still took out a part of it and put it in that bank card, which made it more convenient to use.
Soon, Li Jiu brought breakfast and found an empty table and sat down.
While eating, Li Jiu subconsciously looked at the other mercenaries who were eating around him, but was somewhat surprised to find that there were only two , one was extremely excited, and the other seemed a little lonely...
This strange scene made Li Jiu feel a little confused. What happened to these guys? Why did they show such strange expressions...
