Chapter Fifty-seven: All staff quit drinking
Looking at Tom with a playful smile in front of her and the scattered men in black standing next to her, Bai Jie suddenly said angrily: "What are you doing? Line up and stand in line right away!"
"Hoola!" Seeing Boss Bai getting angry, all the men in black immediately lined up in two rows.
But Tom couldn't find his place in the team, so like Annie, he stood beside Bai Jie.
"What are you standing here for? Get out of here!" Bai Jie was furious when she looked at Tom.
The fat man quickly ran to the back of the team and stood there alone.
Looking at this nondescript guy, Bai Jie really felt like being defeated. Too lazy to pay attention to this non-staff member, she glanced at the men in black and said seriously: "Now let me talk about the mission of this operation!"
"We are now flying to Ophiuchus to rendezvous with the Federation's third and fourth fleets. After the rendezvous, they will cooperate with us and find a way to send us into the atmosphere of Basset. This time we are going to sneak into the enemy's rear with arms. I reiterate
Again, this is not handling cases in the federation in the past, this is war! So from now on, all members of the action team have entered the first level of combat preparation! All members have canceled their vacations, are on standby 24 hours a day, and are ready to go into battle at any time!"
Having said this, Bai Jie paused for a moment, then stared at Tom, who was at the back of the team, as well as Team Doctor Wang, Kitchen Old Liu and several other famous drunkards, and said sternly: "Also, from now on, everyone will give up drinking! If
If I find out whoever dares to drink secretly behind my back, I will send him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disturbing the morale of the army. Military law will be applied and he will not be lenient! Don't think that I will turn my back on you when the time comes!"
"Report! Do you want to quit smoking?" Tom, who was at the back of the queue, weakly raised his hand and asked.
Seeing the fat man's funny look, Annie pursed her lips hard to prevent herself from laughing.
Naturally, all the men in black are suffering from stomachache!
Bai Jie was so angry that she glared at Tom fiercely, then shouted dismissal and left.
The men in black and the fat man behind finally breathed a sigh of relief.
——————————————
Flying from the capital star to Ophiuchus, you have to pass through two space jump points on the way, and it takes more than ten hours to reach it.
The journey was long, and it happened to be night when we left the ground, so going to bed after dinner became the best way to kill the boring time.
Tom was lucky enough to be assigned a single room. Although the cabin was very small, with only one bed and not even a table or cabinet, the fat man didn't care at all.
For sleeping, a bed is enough. Why do you need all the trouble?
Throwing the bag under the bed, Tom straightened up on the bed.
Having served as a top soldier in the guerrillas for a few days, he knew that first-level combat preparation meant, in other words, being ready for the day. So the fat man didn't even take off his clothes, pants, and boots, and he had already begun to snore.
After just a few breaths, I heard a slight knock on the door like a cat scratching at the door.
Tom originally wanted to pretend to be asleep and ignore the sneaky female devil outside the door, but he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat when he got up tomorrow morning, so he had no choice but to get up and open the door.
"I knew it was you!" Tom shrank back to the bed.
"Why don't you take off your clothes to go to bed?" Annie blinked her big eyes, as if she was pretending to be cute.
"Waiting for you!" Tom replied angrily.
"Why do you have to sleep with your clothes on when I wait? Could it be, hehe, are you afraid of me?" Anne smiled deliberately as if she was treacherous.
"Fuck! What do you want to do?" The fat man quickly hugged his breasts with both hands and looked nervously at the female devil in front of him.
"Tch! Let's get down to business." Annie raised her foot and closed the door, then sat down on the single bed, which had a very limited width.
The fat man quickly shrank inside.
Annie squeezed the fat man.
When the fat man had no place to hide anymore, Annie crossed her legs with satisfaction, looked at Tom and said with a smile: "Before leaving the Capital Star, I received a new mission from the team."
"The matter with the old doctor last time hasn't been settled yet? Why was he assigned another task? Is this an increase in quantity but not in price?" Tom muttered and complained.
"Pa!" Annie slapped Tom on the leg and glared: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Tom said with a grimace: "Say it! What do you want me to do again?"
Annie said seriously: "The team knows that the two of us are going back to Basset Star, so we hope we can find the Basset Star branch that lost contact after it was occupied."
"What? Have our branches lost contact?" Thinking that his former comrades were under the clutches of the Vilia Empire, and their fate was uncertain, Tom inevitably became a little panicked.
"Well, after Star Base was completely occupied by the ground forces of the Vilia Empire, the headquarters has never received any news from our branch, and the leaders above are also very anxious." At this point, Anne also faced
With a worried look.
"Okay! I will definitely do this!"
After losing his father, his comrades in the guerrillas became Tom's relatives. Now that his relatives were in trouble, the fat man was naturally obliged to do so.
"One more thing, if the Intelligence Bureau can find Andrew's huge amount of stolen money this time, the higher-ups hope that we can find a way to get all the money back. The team's funds are very tight now and they are in urgent need of funds!"
"I understand, in addition to looking for people, I also want to find money!" Tom took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, feeling that the pressure of returning to Barcelona this time was quite high.
This time, Anne surprisingly did not scold the fat man for smoking in such a small cabin. Through the choking smoke, she said leisurely to Tom: "If you can accomplish these two things, you will be the hero of our guerrillas."
.”
"I don't care what kind of bullshit hero I am!" The fat man turned over and pointed his butt towards Annie beside the bed.
"snort!"
The task had been handed over, and Annie quickly got up and left Tom's cabin.
She escaped by urinating, and she didn't dare to delay for too long, otherwise her roommate Bai Jie might become suspicious.

People who like to sleep in are the most suitable for space travel!
When you are sleeping in space, no one will come to urge you to get up by your ears, unless you have reached your destination, or you are unlucky enough to be attacked in some way.
So Tom had a very full sleep, and it was not until his stomach was hungry that he reluctantly got up from the bed.
After looking at the signs on the bulkhead all the way out, Tom finally found the restaurant of the spaceship. There were not many people inside.
The restaurant is a free buffet, so as long as you can swallow it, you can open it and eat as much as you want. But Tom has never liked eating space meals, especially the yellow kind! The lumps of stuff squeezed out of the rubber tube made him laugh.
He felt like he was enjoying rice sweets.
After breakfast, barely filling his stomach, Tom, who was bored, began to stare at the stars outside the porthole in a daze.
Countless star points scattered randomly on the boundless black screen, flickering light and dark. Several colorful nebulae faced the light of the stars, and smoke curled up, dotted in them from far or near, as if they were still slowly rotating.
In the face of the vast universe, human beings will always suddenly lament the humbleness of life and their own insignificance.
The universe is eternal, but your own life is just a blink of an eye.
"Crack!" The communicator hanging on Tom's ear rang.
After the call was connected, Tom heard Bai Jie's angry voice: "Where have you gone? Come to the cargo hold and gather together!"
Damn it! Is this woman menopausal? Or does she have seasickness? Or maybe she had an erotic dream and couldn't sleep last night, causing an endocrine disorder? Why doesn't she look good on me every day?
Tom cursed and turned off the communicator, held half of the cigarette butt in his mouth, swayed his belly slowly, and swayed towards the cargo hold.
Chapter completed!
