Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1397: Fleeting Memories


Sky City, at dusk...

Friends caught up in the joy of reunion were chatting about their personal experiences over the years, like Zhang Xiaobo, who has quite the story to tell, and his past was rather heartbreaking.

Back in the day, he was a renowned warrior charging through the front lines to defend his country, a first-class champion. With the bizarre events causing a chain reaction, countries worldwide began bombarding the binary star system round after round, but unfortunately, it was of little use, instead losing tens of thousands of brothers.

At that time, the Normandy fleet had already departed... fortunately, when he had nowhere to go, Fatty met the Blade Warrior, and at that moment, his life took a huge turn. From then on, he was no longer a soldier, unable to enjoy the position allowance, instead embarking on a worldwide journey to explore the depths of the universe with everyone.

He has gone through life and death situations time after time, and in those times, survived until now. Naturally timid, he also has stories where he devoted everything for this group of friends, thus he knew Sara and brought Sara back to this new universe.

However, if one were to say his life truly turned around, it actually traces back to childhood at the Ancient Martial Arts Hall. Born into a military family, with elders hoping he would become a soldier, he was sent to the Ancient Martial Arts Hall, and that's when he met Feng Yi.

Later, everyone together entered Wind Thunder Military Academy, eating, drinking, doing nothing proper, and together founded the Star Wars gaming guild.

But Feng Yi was different from the others; he was a guy with ideals and ambitions. One day, when news of urgent front-line battles repeatedly reached Wind Thunder and recruiting ads covered the Alpha Shadow District, Feng Yi resolutely chose to enlist and join the army.

Due to personal abilities, at that time, Feng Yi already began to distance himself from everyone, whether it was himself, Elvis, or now Saudi super warrior Mu Tou, as well as more friends. Some chose to remain in the academy, some chose to go to the battlefield, while others decided to fly far away during that special period.

No one knew what he was thinking back then, with the passion of youth, many chose to stay with Feng Yi, including himself, Elvis, Xia Xin, Mu Tou, Old K, and more whose names they couldn't even remember.

As acting instructor, Feng Yi was against friends who never experienced battle going to the battlefield, yet everyone followed him.

Because of this, he was particularly harsh in training the group, but sadly in the end everyone went their own way, because back then, Feng Yi's authority wasn't high enough; he didn't have his own troop, wasn't a Special Envoy, and could only help friends secure positions they wanted through his connections.

Do you want to go to the communications battalion? Do you want to go to Normandy? Do you want to be a signal officer? Of course, even if Feng Yi secured a valuable spot, in the end, a medical examination and assessment were needed.

Feng Yi never forgot those brothers who followed him. He arranged Xia Xin to a post she liked, discovered Mu Tou's shooting skills, and recommended him to the super warrior candidate list, reeled himself into Mars training base for weeks of devil training.

Because of this, on the battlefield, he truly had a bargaining chip for saving his life. Although physically, he couldn't compare with Feng Yi's Sky Shadow squad, but against ordinary special warriors, he could easily wipe them out.

At that time, he could run ten or twenty kilometers without even gasping. After all, the training at Mars base was the precious wealth in his life.

Mars was completely different from Earth's environment, a barren ash planet, its yellow sky often shrouded in wind and dust, with intense ultraviolet radiation, winds exceeding Earth's by several times.

Surviving in such a harsh environment, to put it harshly, dying there was commonplace. But Feng Yi was impressive in his inspiring talks, after he recounted the brutality of Colonial Planet 103, everyone felt it wasn't much.

Yes, Colonial Planet 103 had 8 times Earth's gravity, average temperature dozens of degrees below zero, colder than Antarctica, with storms sweeping annually, but Feng Yi endured through all of it, what little hardships they faced were nothing?

With the passion of youth, during that time, the brothers greeted the sunrise together, watched the sunset, together sang "Returning from Target Practice" gathered around the bonfire, eating meat, drinking large gulps of alcohol, these were fatso's most cherished days.

Sky Shadow's lips curled into a smile, yet his voice was disdainful: "At your level, you're just ordinary, not even catching up to Feng Luo and Feng Wu."

"Don't give me that cold talk, what were you doing back then?"

"Me...? Of course, I had my own tasks, you don't need to compare with me." As a must-admit, as one of the twelve star generals, back then Sky Shadow was already making waves in the Federation, the younger generation worldwide was also ranking prominently.

Even Jiu Ling on the side agreed quite a bit with Sky Shadow's words, even she couldn't compare with Sky Shadow, after all, she only mastered the mecha field, and her abilities were not as broad as Sky Shadow, Sky Shadow was all-rounded, his growth path somewhat similar to Kexiao.

This, Zhang Xiaobo was dissatisfied, "Then can you match Feng Yi of the same period?"

Sky Shadow replied calmly, "In terms of fame and influence, I'm not as good as Revenge Shadow Rider, but in terms of status, he's not as good as me."

"What? His status wasn't as good as yours?"

Sky Shadow responded with a wicked smile, "How unfortunate, are you disappointed? Although his fame wasn't low, it wasn't until years later as Special Envoy that his status was truly equal to mine."

"Ah? What period was that?"

"At the end of Vafidia, early restoration of Mardis, until then he truly had his own power, of course, although early on Feng Yi was famous but had no real substance yet was a Special Envoy, and his abilities were astonishing, he once eliminated many dark forces' big figures, nobody in the Military Department would proactively provoke him."

"Why, why? From what I know, the Military Department factions are complex, with constant open and covert disputes, but why would they avoid him?"

"What do you think it is?"

Facing Sky Shadow's rhetorical question, Zhang Xiaobo was momentarily confused, "Could, could it be because of his Special Envoy status and being looked after by Adams and his crew?"

"Hmph, truly naive." Sky Shadow said coldly: "Hence the saying, without stepping into the political arena, one never knows the internal darkness. Feng Yi was truly alone with no dirt on him, and no weaknesses, even if he abducted a right-wing leader's family members, they would choose to swallow their pride, who do you think would dare provoke someone like him?"

"Ab- abducted a right-wing leader's family members?" Zhang Xiaobo was startled by this, "What happened afterward?"

"Unlike now, the once arrogant Feng Yi faced issues head-on yet was not lacking in wisdom, apart from paying a ransom, what else could they do?"

This guy was practically a bandit, although the cause stemmed from the other side, Zhang Xiaobo wasn't completely clueless about the stakes involved. As a frontline hero, such matters besides being concealed and downplayed couldn't be publicly disclosed, especially during such a special time, then Fatty more or less understood.

"Haha, who would've thought that guy had such a splendid history."
