Dying Beyond Death Chapter 7

After returning to the starship, David Lu completely forgot about showing his brain to Xuite. He was in a hurry to repair his optical computer. Xuite's brain problem was put at the back of the list. Anyway, Xuite usually acted on instinct, so the brain problem was not too important.

"Adjutant Henry Reiner, the chip in this optical computer is completely scrapped." The signalman said as he put down the tools in his hands.

"Is there no way to fix it?"

The signalman shook his head: "I will apply for a new adjutant's permission computer right away. In the meantime, I can only use the standard computer as a substitute."

"How long will it take to get the new optical computer?" David Lu frowned.

"It will take at least a month to get approval after going through the process. The efficiency of the logistics department has always been so low, and I have complained about it several times..." The signalman is usually a chatterbox. After David Lu asked a few more questions, he couldn't help complaining until someone kicked him under the table.

Suddenly realizing that the person in front of him was the harsh and unkind Adjutant Henry Reiner, the signalman broke out in a cold sweat: "Yes, I'm sorry, Adjutant Henry Reiner. Is there anything urgent you need? I can, I can..."

David Lu looked at the tall man in front of him who had been stuttering for a long time but couldn't make any clear words, and his expression remained unchanged: "Notify me as soon as the new optical computer is delivered."

After solving the problem of the optical computer, the next step is to fulfill the previous promise. In the few days since returning, Xiu Yite has sent dozens of communications, all about when to practice. David Lu doesn't want to be called again, so he asked him to practice today.

When David Lu arrived at the training room, Victor was already waiting inside. There was also a group of people gathered outside the training room, all of them looking excited and eagerly waiting.

"Do you want to turn on the outdoor projection?" David Lu walked in, and the door of the training room slowly closed behind him.

"I don't know who told it." Xiuite's face was gloomy. It was a rare opportunity for him to practice with David Lu, and he didn't want too many irrelevant people to watch.

David Lu didn't care if there were people watching: "You should be happy that the people in the team are so motivated. So, do you want to practice mecha or close combat?"

"Close combat first, then mecha?" Xuite was a little greedy.

"I don't have that much time." David Lu refused mercilessly.

"Little Nana, you rejected me again." Xiuite looked frustrated. "There are no tasks recently, so there is nothing to do."

"If our commander didn't hate paperwork so much, I don't think I would have anything to do." David Lu glanced at Xuite.

Hearing this, Victor didn't dare to say anything more. He was indeed not good at handling paperwork, and some paperwork that should have been handled by the commander also fell on David Lu's shoulders. But he had no other choice. Paperwork involved a lot of confidential matters, and he didn't trust anyone except David Lu.

Xiuyt smiled awkwardly: "Then let's fight in close combat."

David Lu nodded, threw his military jacket aside, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows. Xiuyt reluctantly clicked on the outfield projection, tilted his head left and right to stretch his muscles, and then attacked without hesitation.

The fighting was intense in the training room, and the emotions were running high outside.

"Wow, there is actually someone who can fight the commander for so long without losing! Last time the commander taught me, he beat me down in ten minutes."

"I never thought that Adjutant Henry Reiner, who usually looks gentle and refined, could actually be such a good fighter."

"Maybe the commander let him go..."

"That's right. Adjutant Henry Reiner is just a logistics staff. If we accidentally beat him up, no one in Fenglei will be able to handle the dealings with the military high-level officials." A malicious voice sounded.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

The two people in the training room could not hear the discussions outside. David Lu and Xiu Yite knew each other very well and both gave their all.

Dodging a side kick from Jason, David Lu used the force to kick the ground, leaving a footprint several inches deep. He jumped into the air, bent his knees and pressed towards Jason's face. Jason changed his moves very quickly, bent his forearms to block his face, and took this extremely powerful blow. The whole person was pushed back a long distance by the huge thrust.

In just a few minutes, the two fought hundreds of times. The people watching outside were stunned, and those with weaker strength could only see a series of afterimages. Only then did they have a clear understanding of David Lu's strength.

"Adjutant Henry Reiner is so strong, he seems to be really evenly matched with the commander..."

"The footprints he just left on the ground, this is the highest level training room, even with my full-strength attack I couldn't leave a trace."

As time went by, the intense battle made David Lu and Victor start to pant. A drop of sweat dripped down David Lu's forehead, and a few strands of hair blocked his eyes. Taking a break, David Lu rakes his hair back with one hand, and his hair, which was always neatly combed, becomes messy, and even his eyes, which were always cold, are somewhat shimmering.

David Lu looked at Xiu Yite and saw that he seemed a little dazed, so he reminded him: "Don't be distracted. You actually made such a low-level mistake."

Xuite came back to his senses. He pressed a button and turned off the projection on the outside field. "I really enjoyed myself today. I haven't had such a good time playing for a long time. Little Nana, be careful next time."

From Xiuite's opening move, David Lu knew his next move, which was a very familiar one to him. They had practiced this way at least a thousand times in the military academy. David Lu's body moved forward as if he had remembered it, but he found that when they made contact, Xiuite raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You got fooled."

The sparring ended with David Lu being pinned to the ground by Victor. David Lu's chest rose and fell violently, and Victor's slender fingers pressed on it. The two looked at each other quietly. The strange atmosphere was broken by a drop of sweat. The naughty sweat dripped along Victor's well-defined chin and fell on the corner of David Lu's lips. Victor subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the sweat, with a bit of inexplicable jealousy.

David Lu turned his head, and Xiuyt's rough fingers brushed across his cheek: "You can get up now."

Xuite turned over and lay on the ground with his back facing the sky. David Lu didn't want to move either. Practicing with Xuite, who was almost the best in the league, was too much of a drain on his mental and physical strength. He rarely indulged himself and lay on the ground without any image.

"You were interrupted by Alex at the shelter last time. You've been busy since you came back. Can you answer that question now?" asked Xiuett.

David Lu thought about it, but he didn't know where to start. Xuite didn't interrupt his thoughts, but waited quietly for him to speak. In fact, David Lu was thinking whether this was a good time. The client asked to clear up the misunderstanding with Xuite, and the reason why Henry Reiner and Xuite were estranged was naturally to be let Xuite know. But when to let him know, it takes a good time. David Lu always felt that now was not a good time.

An emergency communication saved the troubled David Lu. After reading it, Xuite said to David Lu: "Come to the combat command room in an hour. There are important discoveries in the star map analysis."

After taking a shower and resting for a while in the cabin, David Lu walked out of the cabin door and prepared to go to the combat command room, but saw an uninvited guest sitting at the door of the cabin. David Lu felt a slight pain in his temple.

"Lieutenant Henry Reiner."

Alex, who is only 28 years old and has just reached adulthood, is always as energetic as the morning sun. He likes to laugh, and his smile is very contagious. Wherever he is, even the air is light and sweet. He has many admirers in Fenglei.

But the Alex in front of him was so pale that he was almost transparent, with two big dark circles under his clear eyes like a deer, and his lips were pale and even had dead skin. If his admirers saw him, they would probably rush to agree to all his requests just to make him smile again.

Unfortunately, David Lu was not Alex's admirer, he just felt it was a bit troublesome.

Seeing David Lu, Alex stood up happily, but because he maintained the same posture for too long, he became shaky and almost fell to the ground.

David Lu stepped forward and held Alex's arm, but Alex took the opportunity to grab David Lu's hand: "Adjutant Henry Reiner, I beg you..."

"Sorry, Alex, I have something urgent to do." David Lu interrupted Alex's long speech. If he continued, he would not be able to get away for several hours. David Lu exerted a little force, trying to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, Alex suddenly became emotional, and he actually knelt down on his knees and hugged David Lu's legs: "Adjutant Henry Reiner, if you don't agree to my request, I won't get up!"

David Lu felt like his temples were about to explode. He was really not good at dealing with people with this kind of personality. No matter what you were saying or whether you were listening or not, they were always immersed in their own world and logic. However, with Henry Reiner's personality, it was easy for him to solve the current situation.

David Lu's face turned stern, and he shouted sternly: "Private Alex Nathan! Your current behavior is simply tarnishing the honor of the Alliance soldiers!"

Alex had never seen David Lu so stern before, and he stood there in a daze.

"Stand up! This is an order!" Seeing Alex standing up noisily, David Lu didn't want to say anything more to him and turned and left.

Looking at David Lu's back, Alex felt very aggrieved. Adjutant Henry Reiner was too unkind. Although he was an oNathana, his ability was not worse than that of a beta, and he could just give him a chance to prove himself.

"Alex, what's wrong with you?" A refreshing voice sounded behind Alex.

Alex turned around and saw the handsome brown-haired man, "Michael..."

Before he finished speaking, tears finally fell from Alex's eyes. It was not because he was weak, but because Michael had always been very gentle to him. The moment he saw Michael, he felt like he saw his brother. If he had a brother, he would definitely comfort him gently at this time.

"Dear little Alex, may I have the honor to invite you to the restaurant?" Michael bowed gentlemanly, "I heard that today's dessert is delicious."
