After a very short silence, someone in the communicator spoke.
"I'll go too!" Ye Ling's voice did not hesitate.
"Boss, I—" Lu Anhe also wanted to take the initiative, but before he could finish, He Yunting interrupted him.
"The starship consumes too much energy, and there is not much energy left in the central ring. There are still so many people who need to go back." He Yunting's tone did not mean reproach, but those who are familiar with him know that this is a silent rejection." Zeus is the main defense, but not enough firepower. You are in charge of coordination and arrangements."
The implication is not much help in blowing up the jump point.
It was just a few succinct answers, and they blocked the sergeants who invited Ying back one by one.
In fact, there is no need for He Yunting to point it out, everyone will soon realize the problem of energy.
No matter how weak the Black Arrow Ant's attack power is, the number and defense should not be underestimated. Leading the opponent to the starship and annihilating it has consumed most of the energy of the fortress, and it is absolutely impossible to support so many people to rush to the sub-star.
It's just that no one thought that before anyone volunteered, the main general was already one step ahead of everyone.
"Time is tight, if there is no problem, leave the rest to Captain Ye and Lieutenant Colonel Lu." He Yunting did not want to say more, "If there is any situation, I will report it through the communicator."
"General," Lu Anhe gritted his teeth and didn't call him as usual, "Mr. Lin..."
He sternly assured: "We must protect Mr. Lin's safety."
"Mr. Lin..." He Yunting repeated, obviously his voice sounded the same as before, but when he said it very softly, passing these three words between his lips and teeth, he spoke more softly, "I I want him to stay away."
"But he will definitely not agree." He Yunting raised his tail. He knew that the other party was listening, and said, "Really, Mr. Lin?"
This is different from last time.
The last time I encountered danger in the border area, even the battleship might not be able to return safely at that time, so He Yunting took Lin Han with him and said that he would be well protected. But now...
Lin Han's voice was slightly smiling, and he replied in the same sentence, "I also want to go directly to the core area. But m2742 is still missing a driver, so I have to help."
If he wasn't there, he would be alone.
Lin Han heard He Yunting chuckle, "Okay."
After all, he is just an ordinary person who needs company and dependence.
So no one said much about the choice of the two, and no one disobeyed the commander's order, even though they knew it might be a difficult trek.
To be on the safe side, after checking that the m2742 energy and other reserves are sufficient, and there are no other problems, the starship began to break away from the fortress's orbit. Compared with the time when it came, the almost exhausted energy ring is no longer hot and dazzling, but fortunately There were almost no casualties.
Only one mecha glowing with cold light started the engine alone, parted ways with the large group, and drove towards the last stop.
He Yunting turned the driving speed to automatic mode. They passed through the highest point of the fortress, began to descend, and then re-accelerated to their destination.
"How long is the fastest?" Lin Han held Gululu in both hands and pressed it into his arms.
Although it has never fought, as a Kugeer tribe that has seen the world, it has really slept in the mecha cabin for so many days, and has witnessed the fall of the female worm and the destruction of the black arrow ant. and fooled giant sandworms.
There are many kinds of strange creatures, but a small race like this kind of friendly nature also hates terrifying and dangerous creatures like the Zerg. This kind of "war" blood has affected it more or less. The most intuitive performance is that it is actually real The mecha is not very stunned, unless it is a large, fast-moving action.
"One day." He Yunting came over and hugged the big guy and the little guy generously.
This is his way of relaxing.
Lin Han reached out and touched the other's hair: "I thought you would insist that I go back with Lu An and them."
I didn't expect it to be so easy to agree.
He Yunting's face was embarrassed, but he was glad that Lin Han couldn't see his expression now.
"...I'm afraid you'll cry." He paused before answering.
He didn't want to see Lin Han cry anymore.
He Yunting hugged him tighter, still remembering Lin Han's previous appearance.
Every time he sobbed, it was like an invisible big hand was strangling his throat, grabbing his breath, causing his heart and chest to be pressed by heavy stones, causing a dull pain.
Probably because He Yunting exerted force, the little dumpling caught in the middle felt squeezed and made a small squeak to express dissatisfaction.
"Don't think about it." Lin Han heard the sound, took out the dark little guy, rubbed its head, and answered He Yunting by the way, "It's quite a shame."
But if he did it again, he might still be able to stop crying.
But the results were good. For example, He Yunting would now use hugs to implicitly express exhaustion, and he was also using it for comfort.
Although this process may still take a long time, Lin Han is already very satisfied.
"How did you think that sandworms would disguise as black arrow ants?" Lin Han thought about it and asked him.
Moreover, the plan was made the day after the fall of the mother worm, while using the transport ship to exchange while the war, while creating an illusion of the space station struggling to defend against the enemy.
"Guess." He Yunting said quietly.
"They want to use the most powerful sandworm to attack once and for all in the last wave, but the sandworm is not only brutal, but also has some brains," he suddenly thought of something. "It's similar to the star thief, it's just a simple game."
Lin Han remembered that when he met him at the time, He Yunting had just brought Lu Anhe to deal with the vicious star thief. Although the people thought it was not a big deal, no one knew that He Yunting was injured on the shoulder: "So when you went to fight the star thief, , it's not as easy as the news says?"
He Yunting paused, and after a while said frankly: "Yes. But they can't fight their tactics, and it will be a matter of time before they are defeated."
"When I was studying," Lin Han suddenly rolled his eyes, "There was a saying in the mecha manufacturing department at that time."
He Yunting raised his eyebrows.
"You know that the contempt chain is very magical," Lin Han saw the expression of the person who looked at him becoming vivid bit by bit, and his smile deepened, "The manufacturing department felt that it should be designed to be the most vivid. Great weapons, the best mechas, sometimes some professors are too high-level, just tell us, I think those of you who not only train, but also play tactics and play, have a dark heart."
Lin Han continued to joke with him with a smile, and put his hand on the opponent's chest: "So the general's heart is also black."
Thinking of what the two secretly planned: "Break me too."
"Really?" He Yunting didn't deny it, and even slightly hooked his lips.
He rubbed the side of Lin Han's neck, slender knuckles brushed his ears, and then slowly fell on his shoulders.
Lin Han heard him say, "But rather than black heart, I want to bring my wife home safely."
His lustrous, porcelain-white earlobes suddenly began to turn red and hot.
The little guy who smelled the sour smell silently got out of Lin Han's arms, jumped to the ground, quietly rolled to the corner, and covered his ears with his hair.
The title of Mrs. General Ming was the one who called it out first, so how it came out of He Yunting's mouth was another taste.
Lin Han heard the voice in his general's heart.
Is Mr. Lin shy?
While he was delighted by the transformation of the other party, he was almost unstoppable because of this transformation. Gululu jumped off, and Lin Han got free with both hands, and again wrapped around each other in this posture.
Rather, he still asks.
"How do you feel, Madam?"
This time it wasn't just the earlobes, the general's wife's whole face started to turn red, her head was buried on He Yunting's shoulder and she was unwilling to lift it up.
After a moment, he gave a buzzing response.
"As you wish."
News of the fortress victory soon spread throughout the empire as the starship returned.
Even if you don't know much about the Zerg, the word "mother bug" is well known to everyone - who would have thought that the mother bug would actually participate in person, and as a result, together with her own children, it became the nourishment of the fortress and became a fortress. What about space junk that can never be recovered.
When the people first knew this news, they were already excited. No matter whether they were prejudiced against him or not, they are now convinced. After all, no matter what, the person who guards the empire on the front line will always be the first.
Everyone began to sort out the admiral's undefeated battles over the years, praising him as a rare weapon in the empire, and by the way envied the gentle and beautiful omega who could accompany him.
Central Park has become full of flowers again, full of vitality.
But they soon discovered that after the starship arrived, the admiral did not come back together.
At the same time, Lu Huai, who is in charge of the safety of Zixingpokou, has no news.
The sub-star has always been stable and calm. The port is insignificant compared to the main star. Even if it is landed, not many Zerg will come. So many larger ports have been defended. What can happen to a distant sub-star?
But the uneasiness soon overshadowed the joy of victory. Only then did everyone know what the words "the general failed to return" mean, and what the weight of the name He Yunting is.
At this time, it was Wen Zhao who came out to speak.
When he was facing the public, he finally dressed a lot more formally, but his voice was still lazy, as if he was not surprised at all.
Wen Zhao glanced at the camera and said with a light smile.
"Admiral still has some things to deal with. You don't have to worry about it, and you must trust his ability."
Just when everyone thought that Wen Zhao was just looking for a reason to reassure them, his next sentence almost made people angry—
"Zixingbokou has hidden a transition point for many years, and the general has to blow it up."
Jump point?
Why is there a transition point in that place?
Jump to where?
"Because I didn't want to cause panic before, and few people knew about it, I stayed."
His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire added word by word.
"By the way, if the transition point of the sub-star is lost, it can jump directly to the core area."
Uproar.
All the excitement and celebrations came to an abrupt end. Who would have thought that there was such a secret transition channel where they lived, and now this channel might be lost?
If you lose, if you lose...
Everyone's hearts are re-suspended. If we say that the Bokou defense was successful and the fortress was used to eradicate the Zerg, at least they were all outside the mother planet and not directly connected to the center of the empire. .
Not a moment has they hoped that the Admiral would be so brave and brave.
Wen Zhao turned off the public-facing screen and re-read the report sent to Lu Anhe.
He understands that releasing this information will inevitably cause more waves, and he also knows that if He Yunting fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
But the empire has been peaceful for too long, so long that too many people have forgotten where these peaces come from.
He knew that He Yunting already knew what he had in mind, so he might as well let his people firmly remember that all peace would not come easily.
The Empire has no betrayer.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty.
Wen Zhao pinched the bridge of his nose and slid his fingers across the white jade chess piece.
He remembered the young general who always faced him with a cold face, and the mild-mannered young man he saw in the video a few days ago.
When Wen Zhao wasn't smiling, his deep face was very serious, changing his previous casual look.
They will succeed.
The ecological environment of the sub-star is actually good. Although it is not as vast and advanced as the main star, the small population and slow-paced life are quite leisurely.
When m2742 was about to arrive, Lin Han carefully observed the planet through the display screen.
He was interested in all the places he had never been in.
"Where are we parked? Go straight to Pokou, or?"
"Wait a minute."
The other party did not give an answer immediately.
Following his actions, Lin Han saw that He Yunting had turned on the communicator again. The difference was that this time the frequency was not connected to the main star or the base. He tried several frequencies that could only be received at close range. After a few minutes I heard long-lost voices.
Communication restored?
There was actually no accident in Lu Huai's formation, it was just frequency interference, and it was only connected now?
He Yunting waited for a while and heard the communication signal that is common in the army from the other side. After he responded, he immediately opened his mouth.
"Admiral." Lu Huai's voice sounded natural, "Are you here?"
"Um."
Unexpectedly, Lu Huai did not directly let m2742 drive to Bokou, but said, "Prince Wen Yu said that he has something to discuss, and asked you to come and see him first."
Hearing this sentence, the two people in the mecha quickly exchanged glances.
"it is good."
He Yunting answered very succinctly.
Wen Yu is the most indifferent prince, so even the palace in Zixing is low-key and simple, except for the fountain at the entrance and the flag engraved with the imperial emblem, the rest of the place is simple.
Lin Han stopped the mecha, and He Yunting walked down first.
When the guard at the door saw that it was him, he immediately saluted respectfully and gave way out without saying a word.
He Yunting walked along the red carpet in the hall, and soon saw a man leaning on a bench with his back to him at the end.
"First Evolution"
He was covered with a cloak that symbolized his status as a prince, and his eyes looked out the window, seeming to be very focused.
Until the sound of footsteps was heard, the man on the bench moved, intending to turn around and wait for the admiral to salute him.
He Yunting leaned over slightly, as if to bend down—
But at this moment, he didn't hesitate at all. Under the guise of salute, he pulled out the gun from his waist. Before the other party turned around, he opened his mouth first.
He put the gun to the other person's temple, there was a hint of mockery in his voice, but his tone was full and even more certain.
"Long time no see, Professor Xu."
