Chapter 315 The calm before the storm

Panam turned his head away and changed the subject, "Let's go meet up with the others."

When Ling Luxian and Panam came down from the control tower, Mickey and the others had already lit a bonfire and were drinking beer, chatting and laughing.

"Hey, you guys are all drinking, and you didn't even wait for me and Panam."

Cassidy took out a bottle of beer from the basket beside him and threw it to Ling Lu.

"Okay."

Ling Luxian raised his hand to catch the wine thrown by Cassidy, skillfully bit open the bottle cap with his teeth, and took a big gulp.

"Oh, that feels good!" He burped with satisfaction.

Panam looked at them with his hands on his hips and said, "I think we..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Scorpion.

"Panam, when did you become like Thor? Sit down and have a drink. It won't delay anything." Scorpion said as he complained, "Shit, this is not the bonfire party I thought of at all."

Mitch pushed Scorpion's shoulder and said, "Stop complaining, old man. Once you get the magic lizard, you're going to love that feeling."

Scorpion rolled his eyes, "What does it feel like? How does it feel to be cannon fodder on a battlefield?"

Just when Mitch was about to say something, Scorpion changed the subject and said, "But you know what, I really love that feeling."

Ling Luxian pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Have you ever driven a tank?"

Panam explained to Ling Luxian: "They were mercenaries during the Metal War not long ago, and they served in the armored forces."

Scorpion complained: "So-called service, but it's just cannon fodder. You don't know, ACPA is rampant on the battlefield, and there are countless hovercrafts hovering over your head.

You never know when a missile might drop from overhead. They just throw people into the battlefield and say, "Go ahead, soldier."

The Geiger counter was beeping all day long, and drinking iodine was like drinking water. Okay, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. ”

Scorpio is a little sad when talking about these things. Not only is it the environmental factor, but also the comrades who were fighting together in the last second are gone in the next second.

No matter how strong a person is, he will never be invincible on the battlefield.

There is only one result for the impressive performance, and that is being bombarded by missile fire.

Scorpion picked up the bottle, took a big gulp, then looked at Ling Luxian, "Boy, I heard from Panam that you are very powerful, is that true?"

Ling Luxian waved his hand, "No, no, they are just empty names, not worth mentioning."

"Haha, you're pretty low-key, but I like that." Scorpion patted Ling Luxian's shoulder with a smile, "Why do you call yourself a Pilot? What kind of planes have you flown? Or ACPA armor?"

Ling Luxian smiled awkwardly, "You are not the first person to ask me this question, but I just wanted to show off at the time, it has no practical significance."

At this time, Carol interrupted and said, "Thank God, Sol finally changed his stubborn temper. How did you do it?"

Everyone nodded and agreed with Carol. After being away for a few days, the boss's personality changed completely. This was too exaggerated.

"Why do I feel like you all seem a little bit dissatisfied with Thor?" Ling Luxian said jokingly.

Carol replied: "We are just dealing with the matter, not the person. If we really didn't like him, we would have left Adecado like Panam.

Actually, you are right. Everyone has his own ideas. Panam is not the first person who dares to challenge Saul's authority. "

"Oh? Who is that?"

Ling Luxian was a little surprised, looking at Mitch and his gang, even if they were dissatisfied with Sol's decision, they still helped Sol for the sake of the family.

I didn't expect that besides Panam, the troublemaker, there are other such brave people.

Mitch, who was sitting next to Scorpion, pushed Scorpion and said, "Scorpion, tell everyone about your glorious deeds."

"Go to hell." Scorpion cleared his throat. "It's not a glorious deed. When I finished the war and returned to my family, my head was full of new ideas.

At that time, I tried to persuade Thor to lead us to join the Snake State. But as you all saw, Thor brought us to Night City. "

“Ha, most likely you were deceived by the reputation of Night City, the city of dreams.” Ling Luxian smiled happily.

Panam asked in confusion: "Is this true? Why don't I remember it?"

Mitch snickered and said, "This is somewhat of Scorpio's dark history. Why would he tell anyone else?"

Ling Luxian stroked his chin and said, "Oh my, it looks like he got beaten pretty badly."

"Isn't it?" Mitch told Scorpion's embarrassing story. "At first, Thor took care of him from head to toe. For a whole year, he didn't get any work assigned to him."

"Speaking of this, Sol is right." Ling Luxian thought for a moment and said, "I have a younger brother who is from the Buckle family. I believe you all know him.

It was because of Bakker's joining the Snake Nation that his entire family fell apart."

"That's true." Scorpion nodded, agreeing with Ling Luxian's statement, "Fortunately, Thor didn't adopt my idea, otherwise, it might be worse than it is now."

At this time, a breeze blew, the bonfire swayed, and everyone's face was reflected. Everyone sat together, enjoying this rare quiet moment.

Only Ling Lu said in a disgraceful tone: "I say, why do I feel a little cold?"

"cold?"

It's not even autumn yet, how can it be cold?

Ling Luxian moved closer to Panam and said, "It's much warmer now."

"Oh, really? But I don't think it's enough."

As she spoke, Panam leaned on Ling Luxian's shoulder, and Ling Luxian took the opportunity to hug her shoulders. Panam tilted her head and looked at Ling Luxian with eyes that seemed to be about to tear.

Cassidy also played the guitar next to him, as if he was accompanying her.

Panam pointed to the sky in front of him and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'll just lie next to you for a while and look at the stars in the sky. Do you see it? That's the Big Spoon constellation. Do you see the little shining star on the right?"

This made Ling Luxian laugh out loud.

"Well... that's actually the Ursa Minor constellation. The star you see is its tail."

"you……"

Panam patted Ling Luxian's shoulder in a complaining manner and moved aside. Cassidy also played a few notes lower at an inopportune time.

Mitch couldn't stand this unpleasant behavior and shook his head.

"You, let me show you off. You should get some rest early. We have to attack the military technology convoy tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Ling Luxian scratched his head awkwardly, took a sleeping bag from Panam's car and lay down in it.
