Chapter 278 Reunion

He Yun's return stirred quite a few people, and the old man was kept busy all night.

The first to meet him was Yin Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Beijiang Pioneer Army.

As a qualified Pioneer Army soldier, He Yun reported everything that had happened on the alien planet over the years to his superiors.

Inevitably, Jiang Xiao and Yu Qiushi also entered the Pioneer Army's field of vision.

After a thorough investigation, He Yun finally learned that the girl named Yu, who had accompanied him through thick and thin, was actually a deserter...

He Yun couldn't help but sigh. He had been with her for so long, and of course he knew what the blind girl wanted. But... if that was the case, why did she still become a Night Watcher?

From the bottom of his heart, He Yun hoped that the Yu family girl had her own reasons.

As for the name "Jiang Xiao", it stumped the Pioneer Army. There was no such person in the Night Watchers!

While He Yun was chatting with Yin Zheng, the information was relayed back.

He Yun was a little confused. What was going on?

He looked at the soldier in front of him in astonishment and said, "That kid told me that he was the vice-captain of the Tail Feather Brigade, and also a member of our Pioneer Volunteer Corps. There's no such person?!"

The soldier understood and said, "The vice-captain of the Tail Feather Brigade is named Jiang Xiaopi."

In fact, when he came to report, the soldier already had a good idea.

The entire Huaxia only had one "brigade"-level Light Chaser team, and only one vice-captain: Jiang Xiaopi.

Similarly, Jiang Xiaopi was indeed recruited by the Imperial Capital Pioneer Apprentice Army and became a Pioneer volunteer soldier.

Since Old He gave a character name with the surname Jiang, and the age and image matched, then it was undoubtedly Jiang Xiaopi!

However, as an information reporter, the soldier naturally required absolute precision in the information.

If the leader asked, he would state his analysis; if not, he would report the information in the most standard form.

At the signal of his superior officer, the soldier turned and left the conference room.

Beside him, Yin Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the Pioneer Army, smiled and said, "This kid is probably using a pseudonym. Among the new generation of young talents in Huaxia, the only one who can accompany Old He to fight on the alien planet is him!"

He Yun nodded. It seemed that Little Jiang was indeed very outstanding on Earth.

Yin Zheng continued, "Only this kid's Hua Xing Cheng Wu can improve the quality of Star Techniques.

However, according to what Mr. He said, he went to the upper dimension to protect the soldiers and find the lost warriors a few years ago, but we have no news at all...

The Night Watchers are hiding things from us, aren't they?"

Yin Zheng was in his mid-forties, in the prime of his life. To be able to sit in such a high position at this age, he was definitely someone special.

However, he treated He Yun with extreme respect, without any airs of a leader.

He Yun also smiled and said, "Then you have to have a good talk with the Northwest Night Watchers. Little Jiang is very capable, no doubt about it, but I really didn't expect this kid wasn't bragging, he's really a leader, haha!"

Yin Zheng, of course, saw the appreciation and love on He Yun's face. It seemed that in the difficult days on the alien planet, Jiang Xiao had brought a glimmer of hope and long-term warmth to this old soldier.

Yin Zheng then said, "Yes, he is one of the best in the younger generation, even... we can remove the words 'younger generation'. When he was still on Earth, he should have been at the top of Star Warriors."

Hearing the words "still on Earth", He Yun's face darkened. He didn't know when Earth and the alien planet would merge.

On the one hand, He Yun didn't want Earth and the alien planet to merge, as it would bring a huge disaster to the world.

But on the other hand, He Yun had suffered from wandering for 22 years, separated from human society, struggling to survive in that primitive society. He didn't want everything he had experienced to happen to Jiang Xiao again.

However, the world does not change according to anyone's will. If Earth and the alien planet did not merge, perhaps Jiang Xiao would be trapped on the alien planet for the rest of his life.

Yin Zheng understood He Yun's expression and continued his topic, "This kid won the World Cup Individual Championship twice and the World Cup Team Championship once. He made great contributions to both the team and the individual defense."

He Yun was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Oh? He also won glory for the country? He never told me about these things."

Seeing that He Yun's mood had improved, Yin Zheng continued, "Your little comrade-in-arms is not simple. As a feudal official, he was sent to Dajiang Province to guard the border.

He made outstanding achievements and forcibly promoted the highest regiment-level team to a brigade-level team. Moreover, that Tail Feather team has broken through the Dragon's Lair three times."

He Yun slapped his forehead and said, "I saw that black dragon! At that time, we were doing experiments on the alien peninsula and encountered an enemy attack. When the planet was shaking, Little Jiang arrived on horseback and directly summoned a dragon and a whale...

By the way, the level of the Dragon's Lair shouldn't be low, right? That dragon didn't look like an ordinary Star Beast."

Yin Zheng nodded and smiled, updating He Yun with information about the times, "The creatures in the Dragon's Lair start at the Diamond level and top out at the Starry Sky level.

It is not only Huaxia, but can even be called the most dangerous place in the world.

Before Jiang Xiao's Tail Feather team rose up, countless souls of warriors were buried there.

But after Tail Feather took over the task of exploring the Dragon's Lair, few warriors have sacrificed, and the Star Bead resources obtained from it are unprecedentedly abundant."

Although Jiang Xiao was very "expensive" for the Dragon's Lair, the Star Bead resources they obtained from it could truly be described as unprecedentedly abundant. This was not a lie.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on He Yun's face, just like listening to outsiders praising his grandson.

Obviously, this was also Yin Zheng's purpose. He was not trying to flatter him. He was telling the truth, and he also hoped that this old soldier who had suffered so much could be a little happier.

During the conversation, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked.

"Enter," Yin Zheng stood up.

From his actions, he seemed to be welcoming someone special?

He Yun turned his head and saw two identical old men!

"Tian San, Tian Si!?" He Yun's expression was astonished, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Haha, you old bastard, you're not dead yet?" One of the old men laughed loudly, stepped forward, and hugged He Yun's body. His old palm heavily beat on He Yun's back.

Undoubtedly, He Yun, soldier number 001, had the team code "Tian 1".

This name was not something that ordinary people could call. If their virtue did not match their position, it would be easy to cause trouble...

Tian San and Tian Si were twin brothers and belonged to the Kaitian Team (Opening Heaven Team).

Tian San was the older brother, named Tao Sichen, a Shield Warrior.

Tian Si was the younger brother, named Tao Sijun, a Battle Warrior.

The two old men looked almost identical, with white hair, energetic, and square faces with parted hair.

If the two brothers didn't open their Star Maps, it would be impossible to tell who was who.

Interestingly, although people always say that every Star Warrior's Star Map is unique, there are still exceptions. For twins, sometimes their Star Maps are the same.

A typical example was Zhu Wen and Zhu Wu, Jiang Xiao's teammates in high school. The Star Maps of the two Honey Badgers were both fists, sandbag-sized fists.

Another example was the An Youyou and An Luming sisters. Their Star Maps were both "deer".

However, Tao Sichen and Tao Sijun's Star Maps were different. The Star Map of Battle Warrior Tao Sichen was a throne, and the Star Map of Shield Warrior Tao Sijun was... well, also a throne.

However, there was a difference between the thrones of the two brothers. Tao Sichen's throne was golden, while Tao Sijun's throne was silver.

The difference in color also distinguished the Star Warrior professions of the two brothers.

The three old men excitedly reminisced about the past, their faces covered in tears.

Yin Zheng didn't interrupt, but watched this scene with great emotion.

Until he heard a topic.

He Yun asked, "Where's Tian Er?"

Tao Sichen sighed lightly, patted He Yun on the shoulder, and said, "She passed away two years ago."

Tao Sijun looked at He Yun's stiff face and said, "She was indeed a few years younger than us, but her mood hasn't been very good for so many years."

What did they mean?

She was only in her sixties and still a powerful Star Sea level Star Warrior. How could she just disappear like that?

Did she die of depression?

Tao Sichen said, "It's related to her mood, and it may indeed be because she reached her limit. When she was receiving treatment, I went to see her. Her body was very strong, but she needed medical Star Techniques to sustain her life.

She could run and jump normally, but she just didn't have a good appetite.

She knew that her time was approaching and that she was being filled with vitality by medical Star Techniques every day to keep her alive. She was tired of it and didn't want to go against the natural order.

You are a medical Star Warrior, so you know better than us that the human body is a container. As it gets older, the container gets smaller and smaller..."

"Ah..." He Yun sighed deeply. He knew these things very well.

He also knew that he was getting old.

The Star Warrior profession is not like the cultivators in novels, nor is it a profession that pursues immortality.

At this time, He Yun's lure was still in the upper dimension of the snowy plains.

To be honest, if He Yun compared his physical fitness to the lure he had summoned back then, he was really inferior to that lure.

He Yun also knew that one day, when his limit really arrived, his healthy body would suddenly decline at a certain point, and everything he had done in his youth would all come back to haunt him in his old age.

Star Warriors are different from ordinary humans.

Normal humans age gradually, and people have a process of acceptance over a long period of time.

But Star Warriors suddenly age at a certain point.

Their physical condition also deteriorates day by day, year after year.

If you are at the Starry Sky level and have experienced a second leap in physical fitness, the situation will be a little better. The "container" of your body that has been expanded again is equivalent to extending your life, just like He Yun at this time.

But at the Earth level, the highest is only the Star Sea level, which means...

Maybe you are still energetic at the age of 55, and you can run faster and jump higher than a 20-year-old, but in the year you turn 56, you will begin to taste the flavors of the karmic cycle.

It's not that you suddenly run slower than a 20-year-old, but compared to other Star Warriors who are constantly improving, you no longer improve, but instead enter a period of decline.

He Yun also knew that one day, he would die, and his lure would accompany him in his eternal sleep, shattering into specks of Star Power.

It didn't matter. After all, Star Warriors had their glory days in their youth. As a special group in this society, they received special treatment in various industries.

Once he understood this, he was relieved.

It wasn't that He Yun enjoyed much special treatment. He had wandered in the upper dimension and on the alien planet for 22 years. Where did he get any benefits?

However, as a member of the Kaitian Team, he had laid the foundation for this country for future generations, which was truly glorious!

Speaking of glory...

He Yun looked at the two old men in front of him and said, "Can you two still move around?"

"Don't worry, you old bastard. Our bodies are still strong," Tao Sijun said with a chuckle.

He Yun nodded and said, "I know the way to the alien planet. How about it? Before we die, will you go with me?"

The two brothers were obviously stunned, and Yin Zheng also looked astonished.

He Yun was truly pioneering!

He lived up to the name of Kaitian!

After 22 years, he was going to fight again as soon as he returned!?

Wasn't he tired? Didn't he want to enjoy a peaceful life in human society?

Tao Sichen and Tao Sijun looked at each other, and they could actually see the eagerness in each other's muddy eyes!

Tao Sichen, as a Shield Warrior, said, "Our team is missing an output, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he glanced at his younger brother with a teasing look.

But unexpectedly, his younger brother, who had argued with him for a lifetime, didn't pick up the conversation, but instead sighed, "Yes, Tian Er is gone."

Tao Sichen said, "Those old bastards from the Pidi Team are still alive and kicking!"

He Yun's eyes lit up. Although they were old, their names were still there. If they had a choice, the only ones who were on the same level as Kaitian and qualified to fight alongside them were the Pidi (Land Breaking) Team with the same name back then.

Tao Sijun snorted and said, "Those old guys are amazing, especially Di Er. His child is a high-ranking official!"

Yin Zheng's expression was embarrassed. Of course, he knew who "Di Er's" child was. Although his rank and position were lower than his, they weren't that much lower, and they were all the same age.

Looking at the several old men in front of him, Yin Zheng hurriedly said, "Seniors, please be calm!

Old He, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Everyone has seen the vibrations of the alien planet and Earth. The Pioneer Army will also have some actions, and we will need Old He's guidance at that time."

"Okay, alright." He Yun nodded, turned to look at the Tao brothers, and said, "Which of you has Xiaoshao (strong liquor)?"

Daring to mention "alcohol" in this place, in front of Yin Zheng, it seemed that only someone with He Yun's unique status could do it...

"Let's go, let's go. Don't cause trouble for our little leader. Let's go home and talk!" Tao Sijun grabbed He Yun and walked out.

Yin Zheng smiled. Seeing several "Kaitian Pidi" (Opening Heaven and Breaking Land) veterans reunite and leave happily, he didn't want to spoil their mood by disturbing them. He just sent two soldiers to escort the old men.

In fact, these three Pioneer seniors didn't need an escort at all.

The Tao brothers were at the Star Sea peak, and the Pioneer Tao family was not an ordinary family. The two old men lived in a military compound, and their safety was absolutely guaranteed.

What's more, there was He Yun, who had revealed in the previous exchange that he was a Starry Sky level Star Warrior...

Throughout Earth, no one had yet confirmed who had truly broken through and entered the Starry Sky level!

Even the mysterious leader of the Xing Feng (Stirring Wind) organization, which was causing trouble everywhere, was only "suspected" to be at the Starry Sky level, and there was no definite evidence!

He Yun! A Starry Sky level Du Nai!

Probably the world's first officially certified case!
