"Starship..." Xu Zhiheng repeated.
Indeed, when everyone reunited at that time, He Yunting just said indifferently, "The central city has been cleaned up, and no one will survive." A non-staff like myself go back.
Not to mention that on the way back, everyone was ordered to stay in their mechas. No one could imagine what the middle and lower layers of the starship, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, were installed under the mecha formation.
Lin Han threw a bottle of hemostatic medicine to He Yunting from the mecha, and patiently waited for Xu Zhiheng to respond slowly.
"No." After the other party calmed down again, there was a hint of confidence in his voice, "Don't talk about Central City, Xi Yuan didn't last long when he first arrived at Proton Star Park, and it's been a while since he returned from Proton Star for the first time. How long has it been, how is it possible that Central City has not been affected at all?"
Lin Han didn't answer, but still curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Xu Zhiheng quietly.
The other party's tone seemed to be extremely confident: "Mr. Lin's jokes are really boring."
He Yunting took the hemostatic medicine, simply dealt with the bleeding wound, and said indifferently, "I knew it a long time ago."
He really didn't think about Xu Zhiheng that way at first.
When he was in the border area, Lin Han said that he used to go to Xu Zhiheng's lectures often, which made him start to pay more attention to Xu Zhiheng subconsciously. When the two finally returned from the border area, Qi Jiamu, who begged He Yunting to save his younger brother, made him think of Xu Zhiheng soon.
What's more, Professor Xu, who was rumored to dislike socializing, took the initiative to greet them on the day they came back, and even shook hands with Lin Han.
Then he began to appear in their field of vision from time to time, and because Qi Jiaze needed treatment, He Yunting simply asked Lu Anhe to protect him.
The accident naturally started from the day when Lu Anhe lost contact for a short time.
At that time, Xu Zhiheng had a very regular lecture, but an accident happened in it.
It doesn't matter how the process is, the result that Xu Zhiheng presented in front of everyone is obvious - as a person directly related to burning blood, Xi Yuan was pushed to the stage, and the radical Luo Qi appeared in the lecture. People, naturally, it is easy for people to connect the two together.
He could remove himself completely, leaving a perfect and positive image in front of He Yunting's eyes.
"The problem was when I went to the proton star for the first time. During the susceptible period, I would physically reject my peers—including you, Professor Xu, who was with me at the time."
"I was thinking at the time, could it be caused by my own vigilance against you," He Yunting stopped looking at Xu Zhiheng, "I later found out that it was not, it was the rejection of pheromones."
"I feel obvious disgust and rejection of an 'oga'," He Yunting said. "I originally thought it was a matter of my impression of you. Later, I took a deeper look at it myself, and unexpectedly learned something different."
Xu Zhiheng didn't expect that he would be noticed on this kind of issue, but he didn't think it was a reason for the other party to bring him down: "If the admiral had found out that I was not an oga, he would have exposed me at that time. ."
"I want to see why you did this." He Yunting said indifferently, "So I didn't fully believe everything you did and said after that, sorry."
He apologized without sincerity: "But I really thought for a moment that you could save Proton Star."
A strange smile appeared on Xu Zhiheng's face: "I always wanted to hear what you were thinking, but I couldn't find a chance to contact you."
At that time, He Yunting had already secretly told Changlin, the leader of Proton Star, that no matter what, no matter whether this crisis could really be overcome, don't open the door of the central city lightly, and accept unsuspecting people who seem to have "recovered". compatriots.
Chang Lin unconditionally trusted He Yunting, and while continuing to close the central city, he did not disclose half of it to the outside world.
He still loves his people, but he can understand the trade-offs at critical moments.
It's better to keep the last city than to lose an entire planet.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for something worrying to happen.
In cities other than Central City, the infected aliens have resurfaced. Since the formation left for the first time, Central City has not been opened to the outside world. None of the previous aliens have entered Central City, and the supply system that is different from other cities also makes this As the last hope of Proton Star, this city lasted until He Yunting came for the second time.
"So Professor Xu still doesn't believe it." Lin Han said, "You don't want Proton Star to have nothing left."
The other party sneered: "It's just a failed experiment, what do I care about?"
"But this is really out of your plan. Otherwise, you wouldn't let Xi Yuan leave Wen Tianyao and come over to investigate the situation in person."
"Sure enough, I can guess everything." Xu Zhiheng simply did not deny it, "Proton Star is just a bargaining chip for me to communicate with the mother insect."
"I promised them that if the beta of Proton Star can be transformed into a blood-burning effect, I will contact the mother worm to join forces to attack."
"How could I have thought those betas were so useless. Completely unusable failures."
Having said that, Xu Zhiheng frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Of course I still want to try to improve." Xu Zhiheng thought of the boy holding the cake, and he didn't know what to think, "That child seems to be obedient and a good child. I think I should be able to cure it. It's true to try."
"I can't guarantee the effect of the antagonist, but I didn't expect it to fail so quickly." Xu Zhiheng snorted, "It's not my fault that the female insect insisted on attacking."
He himself has raised a group of larvae and blood-burning oga that only obey himself over the years: "My experiment has not been completely successful, and my children have not grown up. But the mother worm sees the proton star, it is stupid. To think that the whole planet is infected is a sign of success - they don't listen to my advice and insist on attacking right away.
"I can't tell them directly that this group of betas are just useless waste, it's better to just do it," Xu Zhiheng smiled, "I told the mother bug, Proton Star did not fail, those betas were very successful, but they were listed. Killed you all."
"Guess if they would rise up and attack because they were killed by their own kind?" Xu Zhiheng's face resurfaced with a frenzy of excitement, "For an impulsive creature like a worm, it makes sense that the female worm will appear in the fortress in person after hearing this result. bingo."
"I know that the female insect will definitely come, and I know that the Eye of the Galaxy will be activated. I understand better that a person like you, Admiral, will definitely be able to defend the fortress. Mind-reading is very useful, and General Lu Huai's father happens to be my friend. It is easy to get in touch with General Lu through him, and it is not difficult to know that there is a transition point here. I might as well wait for you here."
After Xu Zhiheng said all this, a smile appeared on his face again: "But you are so smart, Admiral, we can still have a good chat."
He Yunting seemed to only think he was funny, and he pulled the trigger again and shot at Xu Zhiheng between the eyebrows.
But as soon as the bullet left the barrel of the gun, the eyes of several people were blurred, and the oga raised by Xu Zhiheng rushed in front of him at an absolute speed, and life and life blocked the bullet for him.
"Look, what good children these are." Xu Zhiheng said unhurriedly, "There is no recklessness and clumsiness of the Zerg, nor the ridiculous and despicable thoughts of humans."
"If we join forces, the female worm has disappeared now, and the larvae are still within my control. I know that Wen Zhao has given you supreme military power, and it is simply an easy thing to resist."
"Try it, Admiral. We should have opened the wider sky."
After Xu Zhiheng finished speaking, he finally looked up at He Yunting with a smile.
His tone and eyes were very sincere. He really felt that his suggestion was worth taking, and he believed that He Yunting would seriously consider it and then come to his side.
Unfortunately, He Yunting just looked at him coldly.
Xu Zhiheng began to show a trace of real doubt, which was different from what he thought.
Even if He Yunting knew about his abilities and what he had done, they should still be able to cooperate.
He didn't know when his way of thinking changed, and he couldn't even understand the change in his own thinking.
Gradually, the smile on Xu Zhiheng's mouth disappeared.
No need for mind reading, he also knew that the meeting, negotiation and temptation that he had been looking forward to for a long time was lightly written as a rejection.
"It seems that Professor Xu is still too confident." Lin Han finally felt that he didn't need to talk too much to someone like him, "Do you remember when you just returned from Proton Star, the starship didn't return the normal route."
He threw something at Xu Zhiheng, a small video communicator: "You can take a look and see what those betas that you thought had become a handful of loess are doing now."
Xu Zhiheng knew this thing, and he used it to communicate with Xi Yuan at the time.
Through the small light screen, he saw that the people of the central city merged into the civilian area in batches, although the living environment was not the same as before, although they had no glands and no pheromones.
But everyone is living seriously, trying to find the meaning of existence through themselves, rather than being determined by a tube of antagonists.
He could pretend that the previous inferences were all deceived by the two of them, but the vivid life and pictures could not.
"Everyone is doing well now, and Chang Lin has also temporarily entered the base." Lin Han's voice was very relaxed, "Professor Xu, do you still want to cooperate now?"
There was palpable pity in his eyes.
This look seemed to touch a corner of Xu Zhiheng's heart that could not be illuminated by light. The calmness on the other's face fell apart. He grabbed the larva that was crawling beside his feet and threw it on the ground: "Wonderful, really wonderful."
He couldn't accept his sudden failure, and he couldn't accept that he had already been calculated by the other party at such an early time.
He still couldn't fully understand it.
He knew that He Yunting was not easy to approach, and even when the other party was misunderstood by the public, in order to gain goodwill, he took advantage of his reputation to help him explain that he did not want this general to cooperate with him immediately, or at least gain a little trust, but he did not expect …
Xu Zhiheng gritted his teeth unwillingly.
"Why did you still speak for me then?"
"Reciprocity."
What Xu Zhiheng thought: "The news that smeared me...?"
"It's me too. Look for small newspapers first and then official media, the effect will be better."
"But you asked Qi Jiamu to protect me at the time, and there was nothing wrong with his voice."
"Even Lu Anhe doesn't know about this." Perhaps his expression was too exciting, He Yunting explained patiently, "The fewer people who know, the more real it looks."
"so… "
"It wasn't you who was summoned by His Majesty. It was I who suggested to him that I brought you to the side hall with you."
"Fairy Wood"
Only then did Xu Zhiheng realize that he had been tricked for so long, and nameless anger surged up: "He Yunting, you—"
"boom!"
2742 precisely released a heavy armor-piercing bomb directly at the larva beside him, the larva's brain exploded, and the palace, which had been destroyed so much that it could not be seen, collapsed. His oga and larvae roared, trying to protect the most central person.
It was at this moment that Xu Zhiheng was unable to say the next sentence, and was stopped by the admiral who suddenly came in front of him.
He Yunting had long since figured out the most convenient route to get to him while a few people were talking. Throwing away the hesitation he pretended to be, he rushed towards Xu Zhiheng and used him as a threat to keep those aliens from approaching. He launched one after another of heavy bullets with fire, but depended on the operator's absolutely excellent mental strength, avoiding him accurately every time, and then attacking other species fiercely.
He Yunting blocked his mouth with the cloak on the opponent's body, and quickly boarded the mecha: "Go, go to Bokou."
Lin Han understood, turned around and said to He Yunting when the mecha started the engine and said, "I have already searched when I came, and there is no one else here."
After He Yunting nodded, Lin Han simply opened the arsenal, pulled the joystick to the end, facing the densely packed data on the screen, he fired the laser cannon without hesitation—
After a loud bang, the palace turned into dust like those unformed larvae, raising the sky full of dust.
He Yunting threw Xu Zhiheng into the corner, the other party's mouth was blocked and he could only make a whimper, probably because he disliked him for being noisy, so he stunned him with a palm. With his face wet with sweat, he kissed him distressedly and said "hard work".
Lin Han's face was obviously tired, but his smile was still clear and gentle.
"I want to refute the words of those teachers when I was studying." Lin Han said, "I don't know if I'm playing tactically, but it's still pretty cool."
Xu Zhiheng was still immersed in the conversation just now, which inevitably reminded him of many things.
For example, his students, his Xiaomeng, and "Aze".
Many years ago, after opening the egg, he was always confused for a long time.
He seemed to get what he wanted, but it seemed he didn't.
It's too easy for an alpha to get a soft oga.
In the past, when Xu Zhiheng hid his true gender, he only thought it would be more convenient in some respects, and never thought of using pheromones to suppress or force others.
But after the worm's egg was cut open, he began to take it for granted.
He will use his always genial and gentle appearance to bring back all the things he loves-maybe these things should belong to him.
He ignored the other party's struggles and tears in the midnight dream, and murmured the name in his mouth when he was unconscious. He just wanted to bite the back of her neck and leave his mark completely in the other party's body.
He has the coveted lily of the valley fragrance in his blood, and the flower language of lily of the valley is to return with happiness, but he can only feel sadness in the pheromones that remain in his body.
He couldn't forget the last time the student looked at him.
She smashed her marked glands with her own hands, cruel and decisive unlike an oga who always smiled softly.
There was no anger in her eyes, except for the weariness that was no longer fearful, there was only a hint of pity—why should she pity herself.
Just like just now, that thin oga also sees himself this way.
Exactly the same.
At that time, Xu Zhiheng hugged her very tenderly, absorbed the fragrance of lily of the valley that was gradually disappearing from her body, and stroked her ankle that was torn by the chains.
"Why are you so stupid, you want to smash your own glands with your own hands. It hurts bad." He kissed her bloody back of the neck, "I will find the best doctor for you, I know a lot myself, and I will definitely be able to help you. Repaired."
"I checked, our pheromone match is very high, I won't let it disappear." Xu Zhiheng said, gently took out the sampling tool and pointed it at the woman's glands, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt. , I will take good care of you to collect everything, and then belong to me forever."
"Xu Zhiheng," the other party let him hold his hand, "you don't even deserve to be called a lunatic."
"—You're a pitiful wretch."
Xu Zhiheng didn't sound angry at all, he didn't want to use violence to make the other party submit, just smiled and released a powerful pheromone.
Even if the glands are destroyed, Oga's surrender to alpha is always irreversible, not to mention that Xu Zhiheng released pheromones specially designed to suppress.
The woman began to kneel on the ground trembling all over, shedding unbearable physiological tears in pain, but she clenched her teeth and showed no sign of weakness.
Xu Zhiheng waited until her whole body was covered in sweat, and she didn't even have the strength to kneel, so she could only lie on the ground lifelessly, breathing so weakly that she could barely hear it.
"Why are you still so self-willed." Xu Zhiheng called her name, "As long as you say soft words, I will love you well."
Seeing that the other party was almost gone, Xu Zhiheng made a rare gesture of kindness and touched her face: "Then I won't lock you up today."
He untied the bracelet and anklet on the woman's body, lowered his head to kiss her trembling neck, and licked off the blood that smelled of lily-of-the-valley: "I'll buy you a bunch of flowers, and I'll be back soon."
He still locked the door of the room and was going to buy a bunch of eustoma not far from home.
It only takes a quarter of an hour.
I hope this time when he comes back, the woman will finally show her weak side as she imagined and compromise quietly.
madman? He didn't mind at all being called a lunatic, and even thought it should be a compliment.
It's a pity that his beloved student said he wasn't even a lunatic.
Xu Zhiheng was a little distracted. These days, he always felt as if he had done nothing wrong, and only a small amount of time would suddenly be empty in the center.
When he put on his smile again and was about to say something nice to coax the gland-destroying oga in the room, all the expressions on his face froze the moment he opened the door—
The woman disappeared.
The room was filled with the scent of lily of the orchid flowers, with scary scarlet bloodstains winding all the way to the window that had been destroyed by violence. It was hard to imagine how the other party could do this with his last breath, even after escaping. Whether it will survive or not is unknown.
But she just walked away like that, with the last pity in her eyes.
Xu Zhiheng was sure that she would not go far, but he never expected that he would never hear from him again after that day.
He finally began to regret, became angry, and panicked, he did nothing wrong, he loved her so much, he would feed her, give her a hug, and give her a bunch of bellflowers every day, they all marked it, Why must go?
But okay.
He also had her pheromones, as well as a genetic sample from a gland in the back of his neck.
Then tie yourself to her, there is nothing wrong.
- He injected those things into his body.
Among the changes he couldn't explain himself, several years after he lost this student, Xu Zhiheng finally felt some other changes, and finally understood why he could be understood by the other party.
Gradually, after a few years, he began to hear what other people were thinking.
Of course, he still couldn't understand the meaning of pity in that look.
Therefore, Xu Zhiheng thought that he had tied people to him for so long when the other party could hear his inner voice.
Over the years, he would still buy a bunch of eustoma from time to time and leave them at home to wither.
He felt that he didn't feel sorry for her in any way, even if she could hear her own heart - then she would definitely hear how much she loved her.
Except for the in-depth research in private, Xu Zhiheng seems to be living the same as before.
Xi Yuan was a student he personally cultivated, and Xu Zhiheng always did a good job in showing kindness to others, and Xi Yuan quickly became his most capable and trusted assistant.
It's just that Xu Zhiheng often thinks that the female student back then is better.
He picked up a child in a civilian area. He was clean and cute, and he would hug his leg and not let go.
Sure enough, he couldn't refuse beautiful things—Xu Zhiheng took him back.
Xu Zhiheng doesn't think reading minds is a burden. On the contrary, he is always curious about human beings. The more curious he is, the more he wants to know what the other person is really thinking.
He began to feel that most of the people around him were noisy and not honest enough. However, he can accept Xi Yuan's occasional innocuous lies, and he has no intention to expose the various thoughts of his colleagues.
He fantasized about living with Lily of the Valley all the time, that she would accept his love, and then have a child who would never lie to himself.
It's a pity that Lily of the Valley was defeated and disappeared.
Fortunately, the child he accidentally picked up was the cleanest and purest he had ever seen.
His thoughts were all written on his face, he trusted himself completely, called him Dad, and was well-behaved and sensible.
The most important thing is that he never lies, and his mind is clear and transparent.
Xu Zhiheng felt that he had never raised a child so diligently, even though he had no blood relationship with him—but it was okay, Xiaomeng was always honest with himself, and was the most obedient child and a good child.
Just like that, ten years have passed, as always.
Finally, a few years ago, he finally discovered a special kind of oga with extremely strong spiritual power, which he named Burning Blood.
He began to be ecstatic about his discoveries, but not recklessly researching Mingli.
He first took advantage of his friends from the Lord and the faction to take the initiative to stand up against this discovery, and then let Xi Yuan respond in secret, so that no matter who it was, even if he felt suspicious, he would not be held accountable.
He met a madman named Gu Miao who was just like himself. Gu Miao was even more fanatical than him. He took the initiative to collect all kinds of oga for him, and then numbered them one by one and sent them to him, which contained various data of oga, genes , and other traits.
Three years ago, Gu Miao excitedly told him that he had found an unparalleled good seedling, and he even wanted to start the experiment immediately.
But Xu Zhiheng saw a familiar string of specific genes in the data message sent by Gu Miao.
Gu Miao even thoughtfully attached the appearance of the mother of this "good seedling" that he found from the civilian area.
— is his lily of the valley.
His lily of the valley had withered a few years ago, but she actually had a child.
Xu Zhiheng didn't know whether it was a surprise or a surprise. Not only did Ling Lan have a child, but the child even had the same mind-reading gene as hers.
He used to toss with Gu Miao before, but this time he went crazy and started to stop Gu Miao.
The two had a serious disagreement for the first time, and Gu Miao was unwilling, saying that this oga was an excellent experiment, and disagreeing with Xu Zhiheng.
The information that Gu Miao gave him did not contain a photo of Oga himself. Xu Zhiheng kept fantasizing about what his child should look like and whether there would also be a gentle fragrance of lily of the valley.
He still had a lecture that day and couldn't shirk it. Xu Zhiheng was so anxious that he just wanted to find Gu Miao and the oga immediately after the lecture was over—
But Gu Miao still didn't obey him after all, and brought oga into the laboratory without authorization, but I don't know when he was found to be guarding, whether it was Gu Miao or that oga, there was nothing left in the end.
This blow made Xu Zhiheng's research stagnant for a long time. When he returned home, he would always look at Xiaomeng in a daze, wondering if that oga would be like Xiaomeng if he was still alive.
What he didn't expect was that even Ji Meng began to change.
Ji Meng's biological parents came to look for him, Xu Zhiheng held his hand and asked gently, does Xiaomeng want to go back.
Ji Meng said "I don't want to", but the voice in my heart was a little hesitant.
Xiaomeng began to lie to him.
Xu Zhiheng felt that he could bear it. He could support Ji Meng to go to the military academy, as long as he was always sincere to himself.
It is best not to have any other thoughts, he should be his only father.
But since Xiaomeng entered school, she started not telling the truth to herself.
He would often hear a name he had never heard of in Ji Meng's heart, as if it was his roommate.
Xiaomeng felt that it was terrible to fall in love with an alpha, so she buried it in her heart and no one said anything.
Don't even tell yourself.
No matter how gentle Xu Zhiheng was and wanted the child to be honest with him, Xiaomeng didn't tell herself anything.
It's not a big deal to like an alpha, Xu Zhiheng thought.
Why didn't Xiaomeng tell herself.
He tolerated his attachment to his biological parents, but Xiaomeng still refused to speak to him.
How simple and clean the original Xiaomeng was.
He is not a good boy anymore.
A liar to himself, bad boy.
Xu Zhiheng hates bad boys.
It happened that the female worm threw an olive branch to him, wanting him to do some tricks during the training in the border area of the base.
Xi Yuan was also Wen Tianyao's deputy, and it was not difficult to replace weapons.
Who is going to be the scapegoat?
Ordinary soldiers can't do it, the position is too high and inconvenient.
That can only be a bad boy.
It was only when Xu Zhiheng heard that the bad boy could no longer open his eyes, Xu Zhiheng still clenched in his heart.
After helping the mother bug, Xu Zhiheng came back from the border area in He Yunting. When he saw Lin Han for the first time, he felt that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Ling Lan.
He couldn't wait to go up and hold Lin Han's hand, but couldn't hear any other sound.
This oga does not read minds.
Fortunately, his identity also allows him to contact other oga.
Lu Anhe said that the child named Aze was injured a few years ago and his glands were destroyed, and the time was exactly the same as three years ago.
Xu Zhiheng quietly found someone to check, he and his brother were not the same mother.
So could he just be...
Xu Zhiheng's heart rekindled hope.
He frequently shook Qi Jiaze's hand. If he was cured, would he hear what he was thinking again, would there be his lily of the valley?
"Aze..." Xu Zhiheng murmured, gradually sobering up from his drowsiness.
Soon he remembered that he had been put together by someone, the mother bug was eliminated, and his children had not grown up. This should have been a perfect cooperation, but now he is in this situation.
A sharp pain came from his fingertips, and he subconsciously wanted to throw it away, but the pain became more and more distinct.
"Awake?" Lin Han's voice came from overhead.
Xu Zhiheng gritted his teeth and looked at his hand, and found that he was being bitten by a black dumpling, his teeth were deeply embedded in the flesh, bleeding gurglingly.
"The Kugeer tribe has a strong bite, so it probably hurts a bit." Lin Han casually added.
He endured dizziness and silently recited the name of the person who caused the current situation: "He Yunting..."
"Shut up." The youth's tone was a little cold, "Can you call the general's full name too?"
