Chapter 1, you may as well insult my character

As Han Shu and several others had gathered, just as the beautiful woman finished speaking, they rushed out with guns in hand, forming a semicircle ten meters away to surround the beautiful woman and Ning Hao. The beautiful woman surveyed the armed individuals around her and shook her head, reproaching, "Is this the Martian way of hospitality? It is truly disappointing!"

The captain has already served 23 years in the military. It is said that during the THG era, he held a position in the American Military Administration and was a colonel commanding a regiment. Three years ago, THG disbanded, and many former officials were purged due to accusations of persecuting the people, ranging from high-ranking central officials to county magistrates, with countless individuals arrested and imprisoned.

"It doesn't matter, you still have your body, right? A person can always find their charming qualities." The old woman had an attitude of certainty.

It is said that the reason is that last month, a space battleship secretly constructed by THG was destroyed by the Messenger before it could be fueled, leaving a large hole in the Heavenly Palace Fortress. Unable to contend with the Messenger, THG shifted the blame onto the Earth Parliament, loudly accusing it of inaction, of watching the Cosmic Cult grow stronger, of nurturing a tiger to its detriment, and of colluding with traitors to humanity. They concocted a series of charges and then moved the Heavenly Palace Fortress outside the Earth's gravitational field to intimidate those old men.

Ning Hao chuckled and said, "Being主动牵手 by a beautiful woman, a pure-hearted man like me would definitely feel nervous"

Han was about to shout, but the deputy captain restrained him, following Nock's gaze towards a tall building

Senior Ning Hao shuddered and hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it, everyone go back to the police station and let the beauties choose slowly!" As he spoke, he began to walk away.

The beautiful woman chuckled and said, "I didn't expect there to be such interesting people in the Mars colony, but unfortunately, I only like handsome guys!" At this moment, Ning Hao, who finally found his opportunity to speak, said, "Actually, I'm not handsome at all; there are many in our police force who are much more handsome than I am, like that one?" Ning Hao pointed his finger around and landed on Han Shu.

The beautiful woman tightly grasped his arm and pulled him back with a stumble, laughing, "No, I will not go to the police station. However, if you hand him over to me, I can offer you a chance to save your lives." As she spoke, she pointed her slender, jade-like finger at Han Shu's head.

On the road, Han Shu expressed his curiosity to Nock, who wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, you have no idea, that woman, she is truly tumultuous..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a commotion erupted within the police cordon. The female officers were all starry-eyed, completely oblivious to the fact that just three hours earlier, they had been cursing Han Shu for cheating at cards and being shameless. Several male officers who were more familiar with Han Shu were cursing loudly: "Shameless, lacking in decency, does being a child bride count?" and so on, everyone was cooperating quite well! However, not everyone reacted positively; Nock was quite accustomed to it, while Old Radish shot a sidelong glance at Han Shu, and Ning Hao was left dumbfounded.

However, not everyone reacted positively; Nock was quite accustomed to it, while Old Radish shot a sidelong glance at Han Shu, and Ning Hao was left dumbfounded.

Deputy Team Leader Ning Hao was about to say something to Nock when a female voice came through the three individuals' communicators: "Unidentified personnel found at the base of Building S on K Street, please send nearby officers for identification." A military uniformed girl appeared on the left lens of the tactical helmet. The Deputy Team Leader looked up to observe the street and responded: "K Street patrol military police team member Ning Hao, Han Shu, Nock Lan received, proceeding to handle the situation immediately." As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him and said, "Just turn at the street corner." Nock and I quickly followed him towards Building S ahead.

In the frame, Ning Hao is checking the other party's identification: "... ... There is currently a curfew in the Mars colony. Since you just arrived from Earth and are unaware of this, we will not impose any penalties on tourists. However, we will need to make a backup of your identification, which will not affect your travel."

Recently, the political situation in human society has been tumultuous. Not only are the Eden independent factions causing disturbances, but the religious forces on Earth are also rising. The remnants of the former THG military government have occupied the Heavenly Palace Fortress, engaging in protracted disputes with the Earth Parliament

Han has already learned about the plans of the police command center. The plan was communicated to every operational unit through tactical helmets while Captain Luo was talking nonsense just now. The adversary's intentions should not be underestimated; unidentified individuals have appeared around various municipal departments throughout the city. They are only targeting one person, so reinforcements cannot be lined up and can only wait for support from the garrison at the Mars Space Station. What is being done now is to hold off the adversary.

"Hehe, handsome, why didn't you call your two companions over for the curfew check?" This was a woman, a seductive beauty, her alluring figure wrapped tightly in leather. As Ning Hao took the identification, she deliberately pushed her chest against his hand.

In ten minutes, or rather, in the time it takes to catch a few breaths, the captain stood up and shouted: "Assemble, get ready, report your numbers." Han Shuo slung on his rifle, put on his raincoat, and glanced helplessly at the spot beside him. That was the position of his classmate and friend, Nock, who was still in the restroom. After graduating from the military police academy, many good friends had gone their separate ways, entering new units and positions, but Nock had been fortuitously assigned to be with him.

Then Xu Niang smiled and said: "You are handsome!" "I can't help it, being handsome is not my fault," Han Shu felt very wronged.

"Do not be nervous! I simply couldn't help but be captivated by the handsome man," the beautiful woman said softly

Cursing and grumbling, he plopped down at his desk, momentarily stunned, then appeared to have an epiphany. He casually tapped a few times on the desk surface to complete the squad's patrol check-in

In a complex situation, the Martian colony wavers between the Earth Parliament and the THG. The temporary parliament is embroiled in chaos over alignment issues, with members pulling each other's arms and kicking legs, resulting in a scene of utter disarray. Consequently, unable to mentally overpower the opponent, some individuals seek to fundamentally resolve the issue by resorting to vicious competition aimed at physical extermination

The captain looked at the torrential rain, as if to compete with the sound of the rain, and the complaints became clearer: "These bastards, it always rains when I am on duty, where does all this water come from, such a waste, truly infuriating." Saying this, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Only ten minutes, hurry up if you need to use the restroom. Damn it, this patrol frequency, isn't it going to kill me?"

"Attention personnel ahead, we are the Martian Temporary Government Military Police, currently conducting a curfew patrol. Please cooperate with the inspection and stand against the wall." Senior Ning Hao turned the corner, likely encountering the reckless individual who had been running around that night.

The past is hard to look back on, yet many people envy his good fortune, such as his former colleagues who mined on the surface of Mars

In an instant, a dozen sorrowful and indignant gazes from the police force were directed at Ning Hao, then shifted to Han Shu. How could someone of above-average talent be the most handsome in the police force?

If the other party is not a ruthless terrorist willing to become a human bomb, they would not casually kill police officers. Currently, every on-duty police officer is required to be equipped with a monitor.

Although Han Shu was eager to discuss the tactical helmet's civilian applicability with Nock, he could only smile wryly as he looked at the girl in his left lens, who was waving her fist at him. It was clear without a doubt that she had abused her authority to eavesdrop on his conversation with Nock. Sigh, having a girlfriend who is more capable than oneself is truly a bittersweet blessing

Han Shu saw the hand of the deputy team leader raised stiffly in the air, but Ning Hao quickly responded: "Please stand by the roadside and present your identification. A curfew is currently in effect in the colony, and you cannot wander around at night." Ning Hao's voice also came through the helmet: "You two, do not approach for now. There is one person on the other side. Command center, request for surveillance sharing." With that, Ning Hao walked towards the other party.

The beautiful woman laughed heartily, shaking Ning Hao's arm as she said, "It's so lively, so many military and police have come." Upon hearing this, Ning Hao's stiff left hand was left to be tossed around, while his right hand slowly moved towards the rifle's grip, having just relaxed his hands to lower the other party's guard.

Han Shu watched the captain's actions and sighed. No wonder Team Luo had consistently ranked in the lower middle during the performance evaluations over the past year, barely placing first among the seventeen teams, which of course meant they were in last place.

The beautiful woman cast a glance at the captain and shyly said, "Oh dear, I prefer the young and strong, not an old man." Han Shuo shuddered all over, goosebumps covering his body, and as he looked around, he noticed that many people, like that pig-headed Nock, were drooling with a look of longing on their faces

As Team Luo departed from the patrol rest point, another team entered the rest point. The current patrol density during the military administration period can be described as intense

The beautiful woman waved her hand and turned to walk towards Building S. Just as Ning Hao was about to turn and leave, the beautiful woman suddenly turned back and grabbed Ning Hao's left hand. Cold sweat broke out on Ning Hao's forehead. Han Shu, who was crouching around the corner, was about to rush out with his gun drawn, when a voice came from the helmet: "Don't go out, wait for a coordinated action. The psychic monitoring has already enveloped Area K." It was the voice of Old Radish.

Captain Luo, however, leered and said: "Beautiful lady, everything is negotiable. Let that incompetent kid go, why come at me!"

The other party expressed their longing with a sense of ease: "You can also tell me some crosstalk to lighten the mood!" Han Shu was aware of his own shortcomings: "I know nothing about this traditional art of crosstalk."

Arrived at the patrol point. Han Shu let out a sigh, took off his raincoat and firearm, and walked into the warm patrol point lounge, where the high-power air conditioner, due to years of overuse, was emitting a hissing protest. Who knows when it might break down?

Hello, when the sky falls, there are leaders to support it. Han Shu and the others are just stalling for time. Therefore, Han Shu just needs to cooperate with his teammates and joke around: "Am I handsome? Just like flowers, I need green leaves to set me off, so that my charm can be highlighted. Now, with the night dark and the wind high, without the green leaves, I naturally appear a bit withered, which is not pleasing to the eye. I feel very ashamed of the comments made by the senior who was just kidnapped. Although I am a little good-looking, I have always been very low-key. Of course, if you ask me how handsome I am, then you can catch a glimpse from the fact that I am the only one in our entire graduating class who has a girlfriend. Haha, low-key, everyone must not speak carelessly, low-key, haha." I feel very ashamed of the comments made by the senior who was just kidnapped. Although I am a little good-looking, I have always been very low-key. Of course, if you ask me how handsome I am, then you can catch a glimpse from the fact that I am the only one in our entire graduating class who has a girlfriend. Haha, low-key, everyone must not speak carelessly, low-key, haha.

"Knock, you bucket of filth, hurry up!" Captain Luo said, kicking the bathroom door. Knock's short and stout figure quickly appeared, stepping on the door panel that had been kicked to the ground. He held up his pants with one hand, ran to throw his gear over his shoulder, and then rushed back into the line, flustered as he tried to organize the items hanging on him.

A classmate beside me whispered, "Is this a competition to see who is more shameless?"

The captain held his forehead, displaying an expression of unbearable sight. The team consisted of a total of 22 members, including the captain, with only 5 veterans, while the rest were rookie police officers who had just graduated this year. Of course, it was essential to have veterans willing to stick with him.

Han Shu and Nock were only ten steps away from him, unaware of the reckless individual around the corner. They took a couple of steps, intending to display the authority of the military police. At that moment, an urgent warning suddenly came through their helmets: "Warning, the soul quantum fluctuations of Building S are abnormal, with a peak index of 127, currently declining. It can be confirmed that at least 110 people are dead, and the individual is classified as a Class A threat. Support is being called in."

Han Shu's adorable girlfriend has disappeared. The scene shifts to a street where Ning Hao is walking towards a person standing by the roadside. However, due to the rain, the shot is not clear. Han Shu says, "Command Center, request to stop the rain." Han Shu looks at Nock beside him; Nock's face is pale, his hand gripping the rifle trembles uncontrollably, standing motionless in the rain. The opponent can silently kill over a hundred people, so crushing three is naturally not too difficult. Han Shu struggles to suppress the fear within him and pulls him towards the corner of the wall.

The fine rain began to fall again, and the empty street echoed only with the footsteps of three people. Although the military uniform had thermal properties, the profound silence still stirred a hint of chill in Han Shuxin's heart, evoking his memories

The night has grown deep, and the rain, which will forever only arrive at night, has begun to fall in a gentle patter. The dim streetlights adorn the long avenue, while the night sky remains pitch black and silent. Occasionally, patrolling military police can be seen traversing the streets

Han Shu had heard of such things; once, a senior who was killed by telekinesis maintained the pose of The Thinker for an entire night. As Han Shu was about to call for a telekinesis test, the deputy captain had already taken large strides towards Nock, and then... with one kick, Nock was knocked to the ground. Nock quickly jumped up, standing to the side. Damn, telekinesis can be so easily countered?

Han Shu sighed and said: "As for the words of other women, I can forgo my physical purity, but sister, facing you, you still insult my character!"

The next rest point for the squad is ten kilometers away. The communicator intermittently relays notifications about citizens found violating the curfew on certain streets, requiring identification by the police.

A week ago, upon learning that Han Shu would be joining Team Luo, a familiar senior patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do your best." It is important to note that performance results are a crucial basis for promotion, he cursed inwardly.

Captain Luo was not discouraged by setbacks: "In this way, you let him go, you see, finding a handsome guy is not difficult at all, with so many fine young men, when you return to the police station, you can choose as you please!" As he spoke, he made suggestive facial expressions and lewd smiles, presenting a truly sordid visage of a pimp

The elegantly dressed woman looked at Han Shu in surprise. Han Shu thought for a moment, wondering if he was overshadowing others, and then spoke softly: "Of course, the charm of the senior who was kidnapped has been refined over time; it is the essence of history, much like aged fine wine. I am merely a fleeting presence, willingly playing the role of the supporting green leaf, solely to highlight his brilliance." He looked at Han Shu, feeling a sense of self-deprecation.

Han Shu adjusted the brightness of the tactical helmet's night vision and scanned the tall buildings along the street. Inadvertently, he bumped into the deputy team leader in front of him, who was watching Nock, standing twenty paces behind them. Nock remained motionless, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. In such a cold, deep night, standing in the middle of the road in that posture was undeniably eerie.

Ning Hao chuckled lightly and said, "It's not anything particularly urgent; I can handle it by myself! Now, please return to your residence immediately and do not wander around. There are quite a few matters to attend to these days, and patrols are more frequent." After scanning, Ning Hao warned while returning the identification to the beautiful woman, standing at attention in salute.

Currently, Han Shu and Nock are following an old soldier named Ning Hao as he patrols a street. This individual is said to be the deputy captain, abbreviated as the deputy.

Han Shu quickly waved his hand to interrupt the grinning Nock, as he already knew what Nock was about to say. It was just about a couple who had not adjusted the transparency of the glass, putting on a vivid performance of their bedroom skills. Who hasn't seen that? This has already become an incidental hidden benefit for the night shift patrol team

Han Shu could only adjust the sighting scope, feeling quite embarrassed as he looked at the woman. The beautiful lady smiled gently at Han Shu and said, "Well, young man, you look quite ordinary, don't you?"

Han Shu cleared his throat and said: "As a party involved, may I ask why?"

Han was taken aback, wondering why everyone today seems to enjoy poking me with their fingers, and... could it be that this middle-aged woman has fallen for me at first sight

The patrol captain looked out at the increasingly heavy rain and murmured his complaints. He is an old soldier named Jesk Ro. We affectionately call him Old Ro, who is slow-witted, thick-skinned, and a rather rigid and resolute fellow

Han Shu looked around and saw Old Luo leading a few people running from the end of the street, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The communication came to mind again: "This is the command center. A large number of suspicious individuals have been discovered in the urban area. Each response team is ordered to rush to the target area for support... Team Luo from Area K is monitoring the target on-site while waiting for support..."

A small team can be divided into several groups to patrol various areas of different sizes flexibly. Intensive patrolling began a month ago after a member of the Martian colony was assassinated at home. The assassin left a message, claiming to be from a radical organization, citing absurd reasons for the act, alleging that the member wasted food, which is hard to believe.

Han Shu pointed at himself in confusion, and Ning Hao nodded, saying: "It's you, show your face so the beauty can take a look. Although this guy isn't the most handsome in the police station, he can barely be considered above average."

Departure! The captain waved, and a group of novices followed in single file behind him. The rain had stopped, but this was temporary. Before their attendance, they had already received a notification from the Weather Control Center that tonight, the rain would not cease.

The captain of the Han team was also among them, but for some unknown reason, after being confined in a small dark room for a year, he was transferred to the Mars colony to serve as the commander of the security forces

It is said that tactical helmets have a natural advantage in this regard, with capabilities for both near and far night vision thermal imaging. The rumored high-end versions even feature complete transparency, which is truly a boon for the masses.
