Lu Zexuan looked at Yu Ran's serious eyes, and a kind of inexplicable bitterness rose in his heart. Although he had never been an undercover agent, he knew how difficult the situation of an undercover agent would be. If he was not careful, he would die.
If what Yu Ran said was true, then, in such a difficult situation, Yu Ran actually risked exposing himself to save his life, and was willing to believe him, tell him the truth, and wanted to join forces with him...
The weight of this trust is so heavy that it even feels like "trusting someone with your life."
If Lu Zexuan agreed to him, from then on, they would be bound together in life and death and would be people in the same boat.
Lu Zexuan quickly adjusted his mood, looked at Yu Ran, and whispered: "I also hope that I can become a comrade-in-arms with you, not an enemy."
This sentence is a double entendre, and it seems to remind Yu Ran not to deceive him again. Yu Ran met his gaze and said frankly: "If I were your enemy, you would have died countless times. Do you remember the cup of sugar water I gave you?"
Lu Zexuan's face froze: "What was added to it?"
Yu Ran said: "They were supposed to add the medicine they gave me, but I replaced it with candy."
Lu Zexuan: “…”
Thinking of how he drank the cup of sugar water without any doubt, Lu Zexuan felt a chill down his spine. If Yu Ran hadn't replaced the medicine, perhaps he would have been controlled by him by now.
The Dark Night Organization is truly insane.
Not only did he use the sentinels for experiments, but he actually wanted to control the military? The big fish behind the scenes must have very terrible ambitions.
Yu Ran wanted to find a trustworthy person to help him, and he was the best candidate.
Lu Zexuan took a deep breath and said, "I will try my best to cooperate with you, but I hope you can tell me your plan in advance."
After this frank conversation, Lu Zexuan trusted Yu Ran even more. Yu Ran nodded and said, "Of course. I will discuss the feasibility of the plan with you. After all, you still need to cooperate with me on many things."
The two looked at each other and saw their clear reflections in each other's eyes.
The sky gradually darkened, and the searchlights on the tall buildings in the distance swept back and forth on the streets. Since the last beast raid on the human base, the B73 base has strengthened its defenses, and there are more soldiers patrolling. The Dark Night Organization has obviously increased its vigilance and does not want people to know the secrets buried deep in the contaminated area. There are a large number of people on the streets who are controlled by them.
Yu Ran whispered in his mind, "Let's go back. Before we find the other undercover agent of the Falcon Special Forces, let's pretend to be a couple for now. Let him think that I have gained your trust and am giving you drugs and trying to control you."
Lu Zexuan was stunned: "Another undercover?"
Yu Ran said: "Xiong Kai is the most suspicious, and Moore cannot be completely trusted. The organization will not send only me to approach you, there must be someone monitoring us. Therefore, you must not be careless in any occasion in the future."
Lu Zexuan simply couldn't believe it.
Since he took over as the captain of the Falcon Special Forces in the year 494, he has always treated the members of the team as his brothers. Every time he goes out on a mission, he will do his best to protect the safety of the members. Just like just now, when they encountered a monster attack in the Swordfish constellation, he even risked his own life to rescue all the members.
Because he is the captain, he has the responsibility to take care of everyone.
He once said that he would not let any soldier who followed him die in vain.
But what if there is a traitor among the team members
At a critical moment, being stabbed in the back by a teammate is more terrifying than encountering the most powerful enemy!
Xiong Kai is his most trusted vice-captain, who has been guarding the starship in the rear; Moore is their team guide, and the person his brother asked him to take good care of before he died. These two have been in the Falcon Special Forces for seven or eight years... Yu Ran actually suspected that these two were traitors
Lu Zexuan clenched his fists tightly and said in a dry voice: "What evidence do you have to prove that they are undercover?"
Yu Ran said frankly: "I don't have any evidence, I just speculate and suspect based on some clues. I tell you this because I hope you won't be careless. In the future, don't eat anything they give you without any precautions."
Lu Zexuan frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he whispered in his mind, "Leave the undercover agents of the Falcon Special Forces to me. I know them better than you do."
The man looked serious and said in a cold voice: "I will not tolerate any traitors in my team!"
As a soldier, what I hate most is traitors.
The first motto of the First Federal Military Academy is loyalty - loyalty to the country, loyalty to the corps, and loyalty to teammates. Only by working together and trusting each other can we survive in a difficult environment.
Comrades are fighting desperately in the front, while the traitors are watching coldly from behind...
When Lu Zexuan thought of this, he wished he could pull that person out and send him to the military prison!
Could there be something wrong with my brother's death back then
Lu Zexuan didn't think about it anymore and looked at Yu Ran calmly: "What are your plans next?"
Yu Ran said, "First, you have to act well and don't let the traitor get suspicious. From now on, you have to always tell yourself that we have lived and died together and have a deep relationship. We have already established a romantic relationship and you trust me completely."
Yu Ran paused and emphasized: "Only when you believe this yourself, your performance will be more natural."
Lu Zexuan: “…”
Yu Ran seemed to be used to switching identities at any time. He was a special undercover agent assigned by the military, so he must have received special acting training. His acting skills would be at the level of an actor in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, if there were any loopholes in his eyes or movements, it would be easy for people to see through him.
But Lu Zexuan had never received any acting training. Asking him to play a couple? Could he act like one
Bai Ying thought in his mind, "You look pretty good even if you're not acting. Every time you were with Yu Ran before, weren't you very protective of him? Your eyes were almost glued to him. Just keep going."
Listening to the spirit's complaints, Lu Zexuan felt a little embarrassed. He admitted that he had been attracted to Yu Ran before. However, he only realized now that the person he had been attracted to was the character Yu Ran pretended to be.
As for the real Yu Ran, his emotions are actually very complicated - he is grateful that the other party saved his life, but he is also sad for being deceived and angry for being used; when he sees the other party's bold and handsome side, he admires him very much; when he knows that the other party is an undercover, he feels a little admiration.
It's so complicated that I can't figure it out.
No matter what, personal emotions are not important. Let’s cooperate with Yu Ran to catch the undercover first.
The horror of the Dark Night Organization was beyond his imagination. From now on, he had to be extra cautious.
***
The two returned to the Falcon at 7pm.
Yu Ran looked a little sad, and Fengniao came over with concern and asked, "Ran Ran, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Zexuan said, "The cake shop his mother opened was demolished, and a new building was built where he used to live. He was a little sad." Lu Zexuan gently put his arm around Yu Ran's shoulders and comforted her softly, "I'm still here for you, don't be too sad."
Yu Ran nodded: "Well, it's all over."
"This is the White Tower Central Command. Major General Lu Zexuan, how is the mission going?"
"We found a highly intelligent animal on the target planet in Dorado. They were disguised as plants and did not move. After we entered their territory, they suddenly launched a sneak attack. 52 members of the Falcon Special Forces were trapped. Fortunately, they were rescued in time. Currently, one sentinel was seriously injured and is receiving treatment in the treatment cabin. The others were slightly injured, and no one was killed. The Falcon starship landed on the planet B73 in Norma to rest and await further instructions."
"Please wait." The staff on duty transmitted Lu Zexuan's report to the military command room.
After a while, a message came from the White Tower: "Please ask the Falcon Special Forces to return to the capital planet immediately. There is no need to force a landing on the S107 planet. The subsequent arrangements will be decided again after detailed discussion."
"Understood." Lu Zexuan hung up the call.
The Federal Central Observation Bureau misjudged the danger of the planet S107. They believed that the planet was full of "non-aggressive plants." Unexpectedly, those branch-like "plants" were actually the claws of highly intelligent animals.
The drone did not capture any life signals during the survey because they had learned to camouflage. The Falcon Special Forces were "lured into the depths" by the highly intelligent animals and were almost wiped out. Fortunately, Lu Zexuan rescued them in time, and Yu Ran also rushed to save people regardless of the danger, so everyone survived.
Lu Zexuan turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone take a night's rest and set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to return to the capital planet."
His eyes lightly swept over Xiong Kai and Moore, and he did not find anything wrong on their faces - it didn't matter, when he returned to the capital star, he would definitely find a way to find out the undercover lurking in the special forces.
***
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Yu Ran and Tang Ce passed by each other without saying a word. But Yu Ran knew that Tang Ce's chameleon had already turned the color of the ceiling and quietly crawled into his bedroom.
After closing the door, Yu Ran used his mind tentacles to communicate with the lizard.
The lizard said in the spiritual world: "The master asked me to tell you that Xiong Kai has been paying attention to you quietly. His bedroom is very close to Captain Lu's bedroom and he can hear you talking. Moore is taking care of the sentry in the treatment cabin and has never left the treatment room. There is nothing suspicious about the others. He also asked what your next plan is."
Yu Ran said: "Tell Major Tang to stay put and wait for the next order. I will find a way to lead the Falcon starship to the Southern Triangulum star field and create an 'accident' to kill everyone except the traitor."
The lizard asked in confusion, "Triangulum Austral?"
Yu Ran said: "That's right, the place where the Xinghui ship was blown up, Major Tang should know how to cooperate with me."
The lizard shook its transparent head and disappeared.
Yu Ran turned around and went to the tea room to pour a glass of water, then knocked on Lu Zexuan's door - this was of course done on purpose for the traitor to see.
Lu Zexuan said, "Come in."
Yu Ran pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Are you still asleep?"
Facing his "innocent smile" and seeing the glass of water in his hand, Lu Zexuan knew that the actor had started performing again.
Lu Zexuan had no choice but to cooperate: "Yeah, I was just about to take a break. Why are you here?"
Yu Ran picked up the water cup and handed it to Lu Zexuan: "You saved so many people today, you must be very tired, right? I poured you a glass of water."
"… Thank you." Lu Zexuan drank the sugar water in the cup very simply - he knew that even if Yu Ran really wanted to control him, it would not be now. In front of so many Falcon Special Forces sentinels, Yu Ran would not act recklessly.
Seeing the man finish the sugar water, Yu Ran looked at him appreciatively and said, "Good night."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Zexuan suddenly grabbed his arm, pulled it hard, and pulled the other person into his arms.
Yu Ran froze slightly, and asked with his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Lu Zexuan lip-read: "Acting."
Yu Ran: “…”
Yes, it would be strange if Lu Zexuan remained indifferent to her boyfriend's considerate running to bring her water in the middle of the night. Kissing and hugging should be normal behaviors between adults, right
When Yu Ran thought of this, she hugged Lu Zexuan and struggled softly: "Zexuan, stop making trouble... Um... someone will hear it..."
Lu Zexuan: “???”
I didn't do anything, but you were so into your acting
After Yu Ran finished performing a set of procedures, he pushed Lu Zexuan away and turned away.
Leaving Lu Zexuan standing there like a statue.
The white eagle said in his mind in frustration: "The fox is too smart and too cunning. It seems that you are no match for him."
Lu Zexuan said coldly: "I only have one spiritual body, and he has two."
White Eagle: "... If that's the case, it seems normal that you are no match for him?"
Lu Zexuan didn't say anything, but his heartbeat suddenly became uncontrollable.
He really wanted to act just now. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they were already a couple. Yu Ran considerately came to bring him water, so how could he just let her go? The traitor must be eavesdropping, so he tried to act more realistically... It didn't matter if he hugged her or something.
He didn't expect Yu Ran to hug him back.
The moment he was gently hugged back, Lu Zexuan's heart almost stopped beating.
Yu Ran's body was very warm and soft, and when Lu Zexuan hugged him, he didn't even want to let go.
Lu Zexuan pressed his temples and told himself again - don't think too much, just act.
The most important thing now is to catch the other undercover agent of the team as soon as possible. Lu Zexuan already has an idea about this matter.
