"L.O. Lu. Cruze. Happy New Year!"
When there was a knock on the door and a familiar figure appeared at the door, Cruze took a deep breath and forced an ugly smile.
"Happy New Year! Doctor Lin. New Year's Day is coming. Don't you have a holiday?"
The person who came was the private doctor arranged by the military for Cruze, who specialized in treating Cruze's body and delaying his increasingly serious premature aging.
Thanks to Dr. Lin, who has made achievements in the field of genetics, Cruze has been able to spend the past few years relatively smoothly. However, according to Dr. Lin's previous diagnosis, this stability has eventually reached its limit.
"Well, this is the last checkup this year! I will take a plane and go home for vacation soon. For the next week, other doctors will be responsible for your health."
Dr. Lin nodded calmly and casually told the next arrangements.
After three years of contact, everyone has gotten to know each other better. Therefore, when talking, most people would casually talk about their own recent situation as a topic of conversation.
Cruze relaxed his body and allowed the other party to examine him casually.
Besides, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't do it.
Now he looks like an old man in his eighties or nineties, withered and pale skin, almost dead.
If he hadn't had a thought in his mind, wanting to question the damned general face to face as to why he had spared his life and allowed him to linger on on this deserted island, he would probably have committed suicide after the war.
Just as Cruze and Dr. Lin were chatting about their recent situation and passing the time during the examination, a news report came from the TV.
"On the occasion of New Year's Day, Orb, one of the member states of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, followed the alliance's arrangement and sent a consolation delegation represented by Cagalli Yura Asha to Tianzhu to send New Year's blessings and condolences to the heroes who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of Tianzhu and solar power generation systems in recent years..."
Hearing this, Cruze's eyebrows moved, and a sharp light flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Doctor Lin. What time does your flight leave?"
Doctor Lin put away his diagnostic tools and nodded slightly.
"Should be within an hour."
"Really? Then, I wish you a happy New Year, Doctor Lin."
Dr. Lin smiled and gave his blessing.
"Happy New Year! Mr. Cruze. See you after the New Year!"
"Well, see you after the New Year!"
Cruze raised his right hand slightly and waved it as a farewell, then turned his gaze to the TV screen.
There, images from the Bund Port on the island where Tianzhu is located are being played.
Amid the roar of the tower crane, huge containers were lifted from the cargo ship in an orderly manner and unloaded onto unmanned heavy-duty trucks in the unloading area nearby.
"Left! Good! Just put it down like this! Alex, good job. Keep up the good work. Once you finish unloading the containers on this freighter, it will be our turn to get off work."
The encouraging voices of his fellow workers came through the headphones, causing the blue-haired man sitting in the tower crane operator's room to smile slightly.
"Okay! But aren't there a few cargo ships next to the Starry Glory?"
After taking a look at the remaining workload, he looked at the cargo ships lined up not far away, waiting to enter the port and asked.
"Oh, those! That's not our job. It's for the other shifts. So, don't worry about it, Alex. We'll get you back in time for the New Year."
While the coworkers were laughing and talking about the funny things they heard while working today, they were also assisting Alex with his work.
As the last container was unloaded, it was time to get off work. After packing up, when Alex got down from the crane, he saw his fellow workers waiting for him.
"Sorry! It took a little while to finish it up."
Alex patted the bag he was carrying and apologized.
The workers didn't care and instead praised him.
"No way! What are you talking about, Alex? Since you came, our work has become easier! You are really good at operating the tower crane! Even the most powerful third shift is not as fast as you!"
The workers laughed and said casually.
"Yeah! You're so good at operating the crane. Sometimes I feel like you might as well be sitting in a mobile suit than in the crane! With your skills, you should be an ACE at least, right?"
"Yes, yes! Seriously. I'm afraid that Alex is a waste of talent in our class."
The workers were talking to each other, which made Alex smile bitterly.
At the same time, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Sitting in the cockpit of a MS?
That might have been a long time ago.
if you can···
The group left the crane area chatting and laughing, and were about to head back to the port on the inner island when they were attracted by a dozen unfamiliar figures.
"Hmm? Monitor. Who are they?"
The workers who noticed the unfamiliar figures all turned their eyes over and looked them up and down.
"I heard they are new colleagues. They were assigned to the third, fifth, and seventh shifts."
The squad leader thought for a moment and told the truth.
"Oh~ So you're a newcomer! No wonder you look so unfamiliar."
After hearing what the team leader said, the workers didn't care and continued to discuss how to arrange the next period of time.
You can’t just stay at home during the New Year’s Day holiday, right?
Alex, who was walking behind his co-workers, was observing the newcomers inconspicuously while dealing with their teasing.
For some reason, Alex smelled a familiar scent from them, but he couldn't remember what was going on for a moment.
It was not until they boarded the boat back to the inner island and saw the TV in the cabin broadcasting news about the delegation that Alex realized what the abnormality he had just felt was.
"Bah!"
Alex suppressed his uneasiness and walked alone to the passage outside the cabin. He punched the railing and looked towards the port unloading area with his teeth slightly clenched.
How to do?
If the anomaly he noticed was real, then it would definitely indicate what would happen next.
What is he going to do?
Prevent?
Or maybe just turn a blind eye and a deaf ear?
But, if he wants to stop it, what identity should he rely on?
Today, he is just an ordinary tower crane operator, an ordinary man who works day and night shifts.
Besides, if he got carried away and ran out to stop it, what would happen to his father and wife who stayed at home?
Resentment and uneasiness stirred Alex's mind like a constantly spinning spiral, making him more and more uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Suddenly, the news he heard from his wife yesterday made Alex calm down completely.
"Alex. We're having a baby! What will you name him/her?"
Shy Mia sat on the edge of the bed and whispered the surprise news in his ear.
