"Bai Yue."
Colonel Xue repeated his name, hands behind his back, "What are you doing here. I shouldn't have called you."
Bai Yue: "I have an unkind request."
He said, "If possible, I would like to see the federal undercover agent who was escorted last time."
Colonel Xue frowned: "If I remember correctly, this incident has been fully handed over to our military region. What do you want to see them for?"
"Actually..." Bai Yue lowered his eyes, "Among the arrested people were my teacher. I have something to say to him."
Colonel Xue looked at him without saying a word.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work." Bai Yue smiled, "I'm just here to ask."
"sorry for disturbance."
Bai Yue half bowed, then turned and walked out. At this time, he heard the people behind him say: "Wait."
He stopped and looked back.
"You are very affectionate and righteous." Colonel Xue raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Bai Yue smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Leaving the office building, the two walked towards the prison.
The prison is located deep in Queens, except for relevant inspectors, even people inside the military area are not allowed to approach it at will.
But this time, with Colonel Xue leading the way, Bai Yue got in very easily.
Stepping into the iron gate, the air suddenly became gloomy and cold. The sun is still shining brightly outside, but it is only separated by a wall, and the temperature difference between the two places is like a world of difference.
I don't know if it is because Admiral Sikong had studied in the dark flag, the prison in the Queen's military region is very similar to the dark flag.
The only difference is that one is on the ground and the other is underground.
However, compared to the dark atmosphere specially created by the dark flag, the interior of the Queen's Military Region is a real depression.
The bloody smell in the air could not be washed away no matter how much disinfectant water was poured.
According to what Bai Yue has seen while patrolling outside these days, the residents of the Queen Star Capital have great respect for the people in the military region. In the eyes of the masses, the soldier is a righteous and noble existence to protect them.
So probably no one would think that such a place still exists in the depths of the military area.
Bai Yue followed behind Colonel Xue. Only the footsteps of the two could be heard in the long and empty corridor.
It's so gloomy and cold during the day, and it must be even more terrifying at night.
While memorizing the route, he said: "If you stay here for a long time, even the strongest person will get sick."
Colonel Xue: "Just because the environment is bad and sick, this kind of soldier can't go very far."
Bai Yue asked, "Has that officer ever been ill?"
"I haven't given birth since I became a soldier." Colonel Xue frowned, "What?"
"No." Bai Yue smiled, "Nothing."
The other party concealed the "illness". Why
Even as a soldier, it is normal to have occasional problems with the body.
But the other party answered smoothly, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately lying.
Unless... the other party is using the excuse of sick leave to do other things secretly
"right here."
Colonel Xue stopped.
Bai Yue stopped at the same time. In front of you is a solid door, which looks thick and heavy.
It is different from the dark flag here, and the scene inside cannot be seen from the outside.
After Colonel Xue swiped his card, he pushed in the door directly.
Bai Yue was about to follow him in, and couldn't help but stop.
A pungent, unpleasant smell of rust gushed out from behind the door and rushed to the forehead.
Originally, the prison had an unpleasant smell. But after so long, he has gotten used to it a little bit.
Still, the stench in this room was a world away compared to the outside.
Colonel Xue was probably used to hearing it, but his expression didn't change: "Why, why don't you come in?"
Bai Yue glanced at him. There was no expression on the other party's face, and it looked a little gloomy and inexplicable against the dark light.
He looked back and stepped into the room. The iron door slammed shut behind him.
Then, he understood the source of the rust smell.
This is not a simple prison cell, but an interrogation room. Walls and floors are littered with horrific interrogation tools.
Xu Shi had used it too many times, and the blood stains on it could not be washed off.
At the end, one person was tied to the wall. The limbs were fixed with iron rings, and it was obvious that the body was already unstable, but because of the torture tool, he could not fall down.
Ragged and bruised all over. Only a faint trace of its original appearance could be seen.
Colonel Xue's voice sounded faintly behind him: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. While he is still conscious."
In the Empire, it is no secret that interrogations are harsh. After all, this kind of thing is either your death or my death. It concerns the safety of the people of the two countries, and few people will have unnecessary sympathy.
Bai Yue walked forward and approached the undercover agent.
"Mr. Song?"
got no response.
Bai Yue slowly raised his hand and lifted the opponent's eyelids.
A "white line" passed by.
This time, the speed of the "white line" was much slower, but it allowed Bai Yue to see its appearance clearly.
The sections of the body are roughly thicker than a human hair.
Then it disappeared quickly. With that comes the unevenness of the lower layer of the skin.
Colonel Xue did not stop him. This made Bai Yue a little surprised.
He put down his hands: "Sir, 'teacher' has long since lost consciousness."
"Really?" Colonel Xue's voice came closer.
Bai Yue: "Can you get useful information when you interrogate in this situation?"
"Of course." Colonel Xue said, "I'll let him say everything I need to say."
Bai Yue turned around and found that Colonel Xue was close at hand. The other party was a few points higher than him, and his eyes were staring at him like a torch.
It's like looking at some prey.
When Bai Yue first came in, he quickly observed the surrounding environment. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to leave a handle on it, there were no cameras in this interrogation room.
In other words, it is now equivalent to a completely closed environment. Only him and Colonel Xue, and a federal undercover agent whose life and death are unknown.
Bai Yue calmly took a step to the side and said with a smile, "What happened to the soldier who attacked me that day? Since they are all here, can I go and see him by the way."
Colonel Xue: "I thought you were just here to see your teacher, why are you so concerned about other people?"
Bai Yue: "I just want to know why that person attacked me that day."
Not just the soldier. There were other federal undercover agents, and he actually wanted to take another look.
- Check to see if these people are all in the same situation.
At this time, the originally quiet interrogation room suddenly made a rustling sound.
The floor, the walls, the ceiling, everything seemed to be attacking from all directions.
Bai Yue thought he heard it wrong at first, so he put his hand on his ear. After confirming that it was not tinnitus, he looked up at Colonel Xue in front of him.
The other party seemed to have heard nothing, and his expression remained unchanged.
Up to now, it can almost be concluded that this guy does have a ghost.
However, the other party just stood there without any other response, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Bai Yue said: "If it doesn't work, forget it, let's go."
Colonel Xue did not move.
Bai Yue cast his eyes to the door. There is also a sensor for swiping the card.
It seems that this interrogation room requires a key to enter and exit. The only key is in the Colonel himself.
The rustling sound became louder and louder.
"Sir." Bai Yue said with a smile, "Although this place is well-defended, it should be quite attracting bugs, right?"
When the word "bug" was spoken, Colonel Xue's eyes changed a bit.
Taking advantage of this neutral position, Bai Yueshan stepped forward to take the magnetic card from the opponent's hand.
Colonel Xue recovered and jumped back. But the action was still a little slower, and the key was taken away by one.
He frowned and shouted, "What are you doing!"
Now it seems to have returned to its previous state.
Just then, there were two knocks on the door.
"Colonel, report something!"
Colonel Xue still frowned and did not answer.
Bai Yue glanced at the colonel and went forward to swipe the magnetic card. The door opened with a sound.
Two soldiers stood outside. Bai Yue had seen it before, and was the subordinate who escorted the undercover together at that time.
The two saw the scene inside and were not suspicious. One of them saluted by beating his chest with one hand: "Colonel, there is another trouble in the training area. It can't be stopped, and you need to come out."
Bai Yue noticed that the rustling sound stopped abruptly. The dead silence in the cell once again returned to the beginning.
"I see." Colonel Xue said solemnly, "Go over immediately."
He walked towards the door. After passing Bai Yueshi, he paused and stretched out his hand.
Bai Yue smiled and returned the key card.
Seeing this, the two soldiers could not help but look at each other.
The four left the prison. Bai Yue was about to leave, but was stopped by one of the soldiers.
The man's face was a little ugly: "Well, I think you should come with us."
Bai Yue: "?"
And soon, he understood the reason for this man's request.
It was lunch break, most people gathered in the cafeteria, and the training ground was empty. Therefore, the battle between the two was not noticed at the beginning.
But then it became more and more noisy, attracting almost all the people nearby.
Some non-commissioned officers and lieutenants also tried to stop them, but all of them became cannon fodder and went off the field in despair.
So, someone went to ask Colonel Xue immediately. No one was found in the office, so he went to prison again.
In short, by the time Bai Yue arrived at the scene, the situation was almost out of control.
At the time of the sports meeting, there was a protective barrier to prevent the audience from being affected by pheromones. But now it is an indiscriminate attack.
Perhaps the two initially aimed at each other, but due to the increasing number of people participating in the war—or trying to dissuade them, the situation gradually became chaotic.
Too many people can't bear the pressure of pheromones, and lie on the ground like a pulled radish, unable to live without love.
Bai Yue saw Mu Sihan first. The other party stood at the very edge and approached after seeing him.
Bai Yue: "What's going on?"
"I couldn't stop it." Mu Sihan paused, "My genetic level is not as high as theirs, sorry."
"Oh no."
This is Bai Yue's neglect. He did not take the initiative to inquire about Mu Sihan's genetic level. In addition, the opponent's performance has always been very strong, so he preconceived that the level must not be weak.
Thinking about it now, Mu Sihan has always acted directly and rarely used pheromone attacks, probably because it was a shortcoming.
At this time, Colonel Xue had left him and walked towards the center of the melee.
"However, fortunately they fought." Bai Yue stared at Colonel Xue's back, "The situation was a little bad just now."
Mu Sihan frowned: "What's wrong."
"Let's talk about it later." Bai Yue looked back and turned to the two people in the center of the battlefield, "You have to stop them first."
After Colonel Xue appeared, he shouted a few words loudly. Seeing that the two were addicted to fighting and did not listen to him. With a frown, he rushed into the battle.
But soon, he was kicked out.
Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but start whispering.
"Can you beat the colonel?"
"No, didn't you use your full strength? After all, there is a child who is an admiral and can't be hurt."
"That's right." Someone suddenly realized, "Just call the general too!"
Sikong Xing was immersed in the battle wholeheartedly at this moment, and he didn't care how many people were watching.
It was the first time he had met a person who was so good at controlling both physical skills and pheromones.
That time Bai Yue was more due to the suppression of genetic level. If only fighting ability, he will not necessarily lose.
But this man is different. It can be felt that the other party's pheromone is not as oppressive as Bai Yue. But move to kill.
The other party is very aware of the weaknesses of the human body, and also understands the advantages of their own pheromones. With the cooperation of pheromone attacks and physical techniques, even he was a little bit overwhelmed.
Sikong Xing laughed.
He really, really likes Di Yi!
Shang Yufei caught a glimpse of Bai Yue out of the corner of his eye. The other party was talking to the blond.
Suddenly, a violent and powerful pheromone hit him.
He turned around in mid-air, and instantly came behind Sikong Xing - kicked down suddenly!
But pheromone suppression still has some effect. Sikong Xing blocked and defused the attack. He grabbed Shang Yufei's ankle with his hand and was about to throw it out.
Shang Yufei put his hands on the ground and kicked Sikong Xing's chin with his back foot, widening the distance.
Sikong Xing was still waiting for the next wave of attacks. But he saw the other party turned around and walked out of the crowd.
He couldn't help shouting, "Hey, are you going to run away?"
Shang Yufei stopped and looked over.
To be honest, "fighting" is just a means to achieve a certain end to him, and he does not like or dislike "fighting" itself.
The fight really took a long time. What's more, the other party was laughing happily while fighting, which really made people feel a little disgusting.
The most important thing is that Bai Yue has come back, and he doesn't want to waste time.
"If you don't want to fight, just stay where it's cool."
But Sikong Xing didn't want to stop there. He glanced at the crowd around him: "Are you the type to be shy when surrounded by people?"
Shang Yufei: "Huh?"
"Don't pay attention to the details." Sikong Xingdao, "This kind of thing will be over after confinement. I will beg the old man for mercy."
Shang Yufei sneered: "Go to confinement yourself."
Abandoning these words, he didn't want to pay any more attention to Sikong Xing, and continued to walk out.
"Life! It's all about enjoying the moment to be happy!"
Sikong Xing didn't let go of his plan, and immediately rushed forward.
Shang Yufei looked sideways, frowning in displeasure. Just as he was about to teach this man a lesson, he was tapped on the shoulder.
An almost suffocating terrifying aura came over.
Out of survival instinct, Sikong Xing stopped abruptly. The dust rose, the familiar and heavy pressure fell on his shoulders, and his limbs were extremely heavy.
Bai Yue put away his hands and said with a smile, "That's it. It's still lunch break now."
The pressure disappears. Sikong Xing almost controlled himself, so he tried his best not to kneel down.
He looked at the young man who suddenly appeared, and barely raised the corner of his mouth: "Bai Yue, in such a short time, have you improved again?"
Sikong Xing has always considered himself a genius. In addition to his high talent, his learning ability is not weak, and the speed of progress is like riding a rocket compared to ordinary people. But all this in front of Bai Yue, it seems that it is not enough to see.
At this moment, Sikong Xing suddenly understood how others viewed him.
In short, after Bai Yue took action, this big scuffle finally came to an end.
Private fights are strictly prohibited, whether in military schools or barracks. Even Sikong Xing is the son of the general.
It's just that because both of them are interns, the week in military regulations is shortened to three days.
During these three days, the two could not do anything and could only be locked in a cramped room.
Colonel Xue's face was gloomy: "I hope you two can reflect on it and don't take military regulations as nothing."
"Yes." Sikong Xingbai answered in a long tone boredly.
Shang Yufei just looked at him with a half-smile, without the slightest reflection.
Colonel Xue frowned: "Take it away."
The two culprits who had caused the chaos left, and others within the military district dispersed.
Only Bai Yue and Mu Sihan were left on the training ground.
Mu Sihan watched the backs of those people leave: "What about the mission?"
Bai Yue was silent for a while, then replied, "It may be intentional."
Hearing this, Mu Sihan looked over.
Bai Yue smiled: "Look, most of our time must be used for training and missions. But if we are locked up, we will have more free time."
"But I can't move." Mu Sihan said, "Staying in that kind of place, you can't do anything."
Shang Yufei walked halfway and looked back.
Seeing this, Bai Yue raised his hand and waved lightly at the other party. He said: "Who knows. Maybe some people are used to confinement."
Mu Sihan: "..."
"Right." Bai Yue turned his head, "Tell me about what happened just now."
The excuse to sneak into prison this time is quite rewarding.
First of all, it is certain that Colonel Xue himself must have a problem. If it weren't for the two soldiers who suddenly came over later, they might have attacked him on the spot.
Presumably this is also the reason why the other party agreed to take him to prison.
As for what to do...
Bai Yue said: "I heard the sound of insects crawling."
At the time, the outside of the room seemed to be surrounded by unknown insects. The rustling sound came from the friction between the body and the wall.
"I found the same 'white line' on the soldier and Counselor Song. But now, it doesn't seem to be a line."
Mu Sihan replied, "Are there bugs in their bodies?"
Bai Yue nodded.
This is his speculation. In retrospect, the attack on the military boat was a strange one.
The "Federal Undercover" took the initiative to reveal his identity in order to kill him. Still in such a closed environment.
This approach is too reckless, so he has been unable to figure it out.
But now think from another angle. Perhaps the person did not want to expose himself, but was forced.
Or…
Bai Yue: "That soldier may not be an undercover agent."
Whether it was that person or Counselor Song, their actions at that time were not like ordinary people, but rather like crazy.
Having said that, Bai Yue looked at Mu Sihan: "Have you read science fiction? It is said that in addition to humans, there are other alien races in this galaxy."
Mu Sihan shook his head.
He was born in K City, so naturally he can't have such leisure.
Bai Yue smiled: "Then let me talk to you."
"That novel describes a very interesting race. It is very weak, but it is very aggressive. Every time it goes to a planet, it can reproduce in a very short period of time until it completely occupies that planet."
Bai Yue said the name of that race: "Zerg."
The original form of the Zerg was all kinds of strange insects. Although they have little power, they are prolific. Good at parasitism, learning and imitation.
After arriving at their destination, they will lurk for a period of time, learning the behavior and language of the species. After it is fully mastered, the invasion will be officially launched.
By then, the boat will be done, and the invaded race can't even tell the difference between the enemy and the companion. Because the zerg have long been deep inside - in the skins of their own kind.
At the end of that science fiction novel, the Terran was wiped out, and the Zerg savoured the fruits with satisfaction. And start preparing for the next invasion.
This is based on their inner nature. They can never be satisfied.
Bai Yue: "It's such a story."
Mu Sihan: "..."
Mu Sihan: "Is it a tragedy?"
Bai Yue smiled: "Tragedy can bring more sense of tragic and solemn. Although that novel may be a bit exaggerated, but similar aliens have indeed appeared in human history."
If it's really the bugs doing this, everything makes sense.
For example, why would someone make an "anonymous report" claiming that someone was missing, when investigators arrived at the scene but found nothing.
Another example is why so many people are sick and ask for leave during this time. I am afraid that being sick is false, but taking this opportunity to wear skin is true.
What cannot be judged now is whether Admiral Sikong knows this fact.
As the highest authority in the Queen's Military Region, it would be impossible for the other party to be unaware of what was going on underneath.
But if you know. It is about alien aggression, which is a very important event for the Empire and even the Federation. What is the reason for not reporting.
Is there anything holding him back from telling the truth
"… "
Perhaps at the beginning of the fight, Admiral Sikong was the first to be deceived.
Thinking of this, Bai Yue shook his head.
He didn't really want to believe the guess.
"If it's really a Zerg," Mu Sihan said, "our mission can be considered complete."
Bai Yue didn't speak.
indeed.
Onshore will just ask them to investigate the truth, not a solution. As long as you report this matter up, you can get away with it.
It just seems that it is not so simple to want to "retire".
"They are indeed exposed." Bai Yue said, "However, I think we were exposed too."
The Zerg can't necessarily guess their true purpose.
But after today's incident, Colonel Xue may have begun to suspect that the identity of the Zerg may be exposed. So it will definitely not stand still in the future.
Bai Yue: "We don't know which people in the military region have become worms, and there is no way to ask for help."
And even if they escaped from the military area, they couldn't leave Queen Star immediately. Moreover, as a soldier, you must not lead danger to the capital.
So, they can't just leave.
The only thing that can be done now is to report things up and delay time at the same time.
"Best," Bai Yue squinted, "to find their nest."
In the middle of the night, the hour hand turns past zero.
There were occasional sound of uniform footsteps not far away. Bai Yue stood in front of the door, and the dazzling searchlight cast down a white light on the ground.
In addition to daytime patrols, guard duty is also performed on a rotational basis. Since the other two were in solitary confinement, he and Mu Sihan were grouped together.
In addition to the gate, the entrance and exit of each area of the military camp is equipped with a small door. The vigilance of the wicket is not that high. One of the paths was handed over to the two interns.
The news about the Zerg Bai Yue has been reported to the general by email, but has not yet received a reply.
There were only four of them... no, three. As the child of General Sikong, Sikong Xing is not sure whether he can be trusted.
To avoid alerting the enemy, at least on the surface, he had to pretend he didn't know anything.
"I tried to pass the news to the senior." Bai Yue said, "He should cooperate with us."
Mu Sihan stared at the front. It was late at night, and the barracks was dead silent. Only occasionally would patrols pass by, leaving a trail of footsteps.
Mu Sihan: "What are you going to do?"
Bai Yue: "When the monitoring point comes out, follow Colonel Xue. Also, his office and prison need to be investigated."
Since it is the place where the person has stayed the longest, it must have the most clues.
"Understood." Mu Sihan said, "I will follow your instructions."
After saying this, the two did not speak for a long time.
Bai Yue chuckled lightly: "You really have changed a lot."
Mu Sihan looked over, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Bai Yue: "Do you remember what happened when we first met?"
Mu Sihan was silent for a moment, then replied, "Remember."
It was the entrance exam. Bai Yue wanted to cooperate with him, but he refused.
"I would never have thought at the time that you would say that to me now."
Not only the start of school, but Mu Sihan has also changed a lot compared to the time when the picket team was in the primary election. At least it will work together now.
"I just..." Mu Sihan frowned, "I judge that this is the most efficient way."
Bai Yue smiled: "Really?"
The two fell silent again.
In the dead of night, the overhead searchlight is movable. It then moved away from their feet and threw it elsewhere.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps not far away.
The sound came very suddenly at night, as if someone was chasing behind him.
The two looked at the sound, and saw a black shadow approaching at a high speed, as if to pass between them.
Mu Sihan's eyes were quick and he grabbed the man's collar directly. He slammed the man to the ground.
The man collapsed to the ground, still struggling.
Bai Yue leaned down, wanting to check the identity of the other party. But when he saw the man's mouth open wide, a black shadow jumped out and attacked him.
Bai Yue reached out and grabbed it. Spreading out his hand, he found that it was a black worm that landed in the palm of his hand, and his slender calf was still shaking.
The two looked at each other.
are bugs.
