It was lunch time, and the tables in the restaurant downstairs were all full. It was highly likely that no seats would be available. Han Yan looked through Gain into the office and noticed the garbage can in the corner filled with takeout boxes: "How do you usually eat?"
Gain hesitated for a moment: "Takeout."
Thanks to Han Yan's previous suppression of Admon and Johnny, Gain was also affected. Every time he ordered takeout, he felt like a thief and felt guilty for no reason.
Han Yan glanced at the time on the terminal and found that there was still an hour and a half left: "Then let's order takeout."
Han Yan is a person who is particular but not picky. He has good adaptability and can sit comfortably no matter whether he is in a high-end Western restaurant or a messy office.
Jia Yin didn't expect Han Yanyan to eat takeout with him. He was obviously stunned for a moment: "But the office is a bit messy, I haven't had time to clean it up..."
Han Yan raised his eyes calmly and said with a smile: "This is the responsibility of your leader, not me."
He was just having a simple meal, not coming to check the hygiene, so why should Jia Yin be so nervous
Jia Yin originally wanted to take Han Yan to the military cafeteria to eat, but thinking about the food plates flying everywhere when the new recruits were scrambling for food, it would be better to go to his own office, so he had to limp and lead the male insect in.
As early as when Gain left, the colleagues in the office couldn't help but look out of curiosity. They just couldn't imagine what kind of male insect would marry a female insect like Gain who was so lonely and weird. Although Star Network had reported Gain's marriage before, these female soldiers who stayed in the research institute all day obviously didn't pay much attention to entertainment gossip, and their understanding of Han Yan was almost zero.
Although this question was asked a little late, he had already come in.
Han Yan guessed that these female insects should be Gain's colleagues. He adjusted his glasses and nodded slightly: "Gain's terminal is broken. I will bring it to him on my way home from get off work. I hope it won't disturb your rest."
Gain took it and thought for a moment, then he found the information of this flower accurately in his mind: "It's the Solo flower."
He raised his hand and pointed to an ordinary cage beside him. Inside were several plump white birds that had the characteristics of both "white doves" and "crows" on Earth. Their red eyes moved around, looking very cute. "These are the purified white crows."
Jia Yin didn't want to leave Han Yan here for the female insects to see. He put away the lunch box on the table and found that there were still more than ten minutes left. He took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to see the strange beasts in the dense forest of Solitia?"
"According to Star Network reports, his leader seems to be a fool..."
Han Yan adjusted his glasses upon hearing this: "What is Solo Flower?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it would be a pity to throw it away, so he stood up, found a sealed bag to put it in, and planned to process it into a specimen when he had the chance.
But Han Yan didn't want to ask these insignificant questions. He quietly watched the mutants in the other cages and found that they were obviously of a higher level. They kept biting the iron cage bars frantically, leaving several deep teeth marks on them. Gain had to give them a shot of tranquilizer from time to time.
One of the female soldiers blushed upon hearing this and quickly waved her hand, saying, "You are too polite. Of course we won't disturb you. It's lunch time now and we are preparing to order takeout for dinner. If you don't mind, you can join us."
The research institute is actually not a confidential area in the military. Other departments call it a slaughterhouse. All they do every day is dissection. Medical students come to visit and do internships every now and then. The truly important research samples are classified as S-classified and sealed in the basement on the first floor. There are heavy guards everywhere and no one can get close to them easily.
One of them was unpacking the food while the other was setting the tableware. Although they didn't say a word during the meal, they would occasionally pick up food for each other. The atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.
The female soldiers around them couldn't help but secretly glance at them out of the corner of their eyes while eating hamburgers. They originally thought that Major General Gain was unpopular at home because he had a lame leg. They didn't expect that his lord would actually run all the way to the military headquarters to send him a terminal. If they told others about it, no one would believe it.
Jia Yin walked to Han Yan's side at some point and began to explain, "This three-headed white crow is the lowest-level mutant in the jungle, and it is also the species that purifies itself the fastest. After the pollution source stone is removed, they can return to normal in three weeks at most."
"Oh my god, why did Major General Gain's hero suddenly come to the military headquarters?"
Although the smell of food was strong in the office, the sour smell on them was obviously stronger.
Han Yan slowly put his hand into his pocket, as if he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but realizing that the occasion was not right, he flicked his fingertips lightly and suppressed the thought.
They were chatting when a blue-haired man in a suit and tie suddenly walked into the office. The whispering stopped abruptly and the air became silent in an instant.
Han Yan is a male insect, so as long as no safety accidents happen, it's no problem to just take a look at him.
When Han Yan heard that the flower was just an ordinary plant and had no healing power, he gave up his desire to explore. He used a feeding spoon to tease the purified white crow in the cage and asked casually, "Do we need to dissect these too?"
As soon as Gain finished speaking, one of the fat white crows suddenly jumped to the railing and cooed twice. It seemed to have something in its mouth, and as its beak opened and closed, a blue unknown flower quietly fell to the ground.
On the other side, Gain had already tidied up his desk, wiped it clean with a tissue, and moved a new chair over for Han Yan. The table was barely enough for the two of them.
Gain shook his head: "No, they have been purified and can be released in two days."
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You haven't told me why you applied to go to the jungle battlefield."
"I'm really curious about how they get along with each other. Major General Gain barely speaks a few words a day when he's working..."
Han Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and indeed he became somewhat interested: "You caught it?"
Gain lowered his eyes, gently placed the flower with branches and leaves in his palm, and explained in a low voice: "It is a very rare and precious plant. It symbolizes rebirth and abandoning the past. It represents new life and blessing. The book said that the Solo flower has long been extinct. I didn't expect it to appear here."
Han Yan walked closer to take a look and found that the animals inside all looked strange in shape. The most numerous was a white crow with three heads. Its cry was hoarse and unpleasant, and it echoed in the silent laboratory, making people inexplicably creepy.
For a moment, they were the only two people left in the huge laboratory. Han Yan looked around and found many medicine bottles and specimens on the surrounding shelves. He asked with interest, "Can I come in here even though I am not responsible for research work?"
Gain is not picky about food: "You decide, anything is fine."
Han Yan had always been very interested in the Solitia Forest, so there was no reason for him to refuse. He pulled out a chair and stood up, and walked directly into the research room with Gain. The electronic door closed automatically, isolating the sight of the military women from outside.
Jia Yin took a white dust-free suit and helped Han Yan change into it. While buttoning his clothes, he explained in a low voice: "You are a male insect, it's okay."
After finishing his meal, Jia Yin glanced around casually, and found that most of the covetous eyes were on Han Yan. He frowned slightly and asked Han Yan in a low voice: "Are you going to work this afternoon?"
Gain hummed, "There are still a few kept in cages, and we haven't had time to dissect them yet."
Han Yan hummed: "I still have something to take care of. Johnny will come to pick me up at two o'clock. I will go home after I am done."
Han Yan sat down at the table, opened the terminal and searched for nearby restaurants, then asked Gain, "What do you want to eat?"
Han Yan put on medical gloves, bent over and picked up the flower. He found that due to the lack of moisture, it felt like a dried specimen. No wonder it didn't wither. "What is this? Their food?"
The laboratory is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. Outside are several silver iron cages made of special materials. Each cage contains a mutant to prevent group fights.
Han Yan's gentle and steady appearance was obviously nothing like the "fool" image rumored by the outside world. He was as gentle and elegant as jade, and could be described as outstanding no matter how you looked at him. Seeing this, the female soldiers looked at each other in shock, and were stunned for a few seconds before they came back to their senses. They hurriedly stood up to greet him, feeling extremely surprised.
Han Yan raised his hand to straighten his collar and politely declined: "It's okay, you guys eat first."
Han Yan had guessed his answer long ago, so he chose a restaurant with a good reputation and placed an order directly. Because the restaurant was close, the deliveryman brought the food to him not long after.
Gain was injecting a sedative into a scaly beast, but when he heard Han Yan's words, he paused and was nearly bitten by the mutant. He came to his senses, threw the syringe into the medical waste bin, and slowly took off his gloves. For some reason, he did not look back.
"Hero Lord,"
After a long silence, Gain finally spoke slowly, "You forgot that I am also a military girl."
And it is only natural for female soldiers to go to the battlefield.
Gain once had the same starting point as Justu. Both were princes of noble status and rare S-class king insects. Sometimes he was even better than the other. But before he knew it, the other seemed to have gone very far, leaving him far behind.
The outside world forgot his glory, his past, and everything about him, and in the end, only remembered the disability of his right leg.
During countless sleepless nights, Gain hid in the dark, often wondering whether the outside world would forget his last identity. The answer he finally came to was like a thorn in his heart.
Those who are unknown can only be forgotten.
The same is true for the succession of royal power among royal families. Only the victors will always be remembered, while the defeated captives will only become an insignificant speck of dust in history.
Gain was no longer young and energetic, and he did not want to compete with Justu. He just felt that he should not stay where he was, and he could not let the outside world laugh at Han Yan for marrying a cripple who knew nothing.
After speaking, Gain turned and looked at Han Yan, his red eyes slightly narrowed. The sunlight from the window poured in, dispelling the gloom between his eyebrows. He was like a hidden sword that was properly sheathed. He could be very beautiful, and he could also kill people. When he spoke, he could vaguely glimpse some of his former sharpness and arrogance: "The Lord of Justu is proud of him, and I hope that one day, you can also be proud of me..."
It's a pity that they didn't meet each other when they were at their most ambitious.
otherwise,
Gain felt that the male insect in front of him would like him more...
He had never known Han Yan's past incompleteness, nor had he known the magic of fate. He just felt that he might not have to struggle in the mud, and could try to walk out of the haze. He just felt that he could become better, so that he could stand side by side with him. If Gain wanted to monopolize something, he must have enough confidence. Their ancestors had taught them so, and so did the gods.
Han Yan said nothing from beginning to end. His gray-blue eyes were filled with unknown emotions as he stared deeply at the female insect in front of him. The latter also looked at him without dodging or avoiding, still as silent and quiet as usual.
Gain looked docile and obedient, but that was all done willingly, because Han Yan had already seen the sharp claws under the other's skin at this moment, which had never been truly restrained.
The sunlight outside the window flickers and the dust dances.
After a long silence, Han Yan's deep voice finally rang out, like a cello, with a steady and seductive tone:
“I’m waiting for that day.”
He waited for the day...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Yin limped and sent Han Yan to the entrance of the military building. He didn't need to go downstairs, because going back and forth would definitely take a lot of time, but the female insect always had a stubbornness that others couldn't understand in some aspects, as if she had to see him leave with her own eyes.
Seeing Han Yan getting ready to board the aircraft, Jia Yin reminded him, "Remember to send me a message when you get home."
Han Yan hummed, never refusing such a "easy favor". He opened the cabin door and unexpectedly found that the soldier standing guard at the door was looking at Gain with envy. He paused, suddenly walked forward and gently hugged Gain's waist, tilted his head and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
Gain was stunned.
Han Yan simply raised his hand to brush away the silver hair on his forehead, then let go of his hand with a smile, turned around and got on the aircraft. The cabin door lowered, isolating him from all the scenes inside.
Han Yan doesn't mind making those female insects jealous of Gain a little more...
Being envied is not necessarily a bad thing sometimes. It just means that you are living better than others.
Han Yan sat in the back seat with his legs crossed. He raised his hand to take off the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His vision blurred for a moment, but it was still easy to see the white figure standing at the entrance of the military department. It was not until the aircraft took off that he slowly retracted his sight.
Johnny sat in the front passenger seat, dangling his feet on the dashboard, and joked with audacity: "Ashiya, if you want to see it, put on your glasses. You can't see the face clearly like this, you can only see the clothes at most."
He came to pick up Han Yan after his lunch break, but he didn't expect that the other party and Gain stood at the gate of the military department for a long time and refused to get in the car. They hugged each other and kissed and embraced each other, obviously bullying him as a single guy who had no partner.
Han Yan glanced at Johnny calmly upon hearing this. He could always accurately grasp the opponent's weakness: "Are you envious? Let me introduce you to a new female monarch."
Johnny froze when he heard that, laughed dryly twice, and quickly waved his hand to change the subject: "I'm still planning to start a business with you, there's no rush to marry a female monarch, no rush."
Han Yan lit a cigarette. As the smoke filled the air, he narrowed his eyes in an ambiguous manner, but his tone remained calm, making it difficult to see his true thoughts: "It seems that you want to learn from Prince Pape and build a career first, then start a family."
Han Yan's words touched Johnny's heart. He had been sitting in his chair bored, but he stood up straighter than a ruler. He turned around to look at Han Yan in surprise and asked, "What did you just say?"
After all, you are young and cannot resist being cheated.
Unfortunately, Han Yan rarely repeats what he says twice, and there are only a handful of insects that can make him repeat his words twice. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and flicked the ash from his cigarette, sparks flickering: "Forget it if you didn't hear it."
"… "
Johnny once suspected that Han Yan had discovered something, but after a closer look, it didn't seem like it. He sat back in his seat hesitantly, always feeling like there was a needle hidden under his butt.
Han Yan had been looking at the scenery passing by the window. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that something was wrong with the route. It was getting more and more off-course. He frowned and asked, "Did you change the route today?"
Johnny subconsciously looked out the window when he heard this, and he also exclaimed in confusion: "Strange, why have I never seen this place before? I haven't heard that there are any restricted routes on the main planet today. Could there be a problem with the navigation?"
He got up from the co-pilot seat and sat directly in the driver's seat to check the map route. He found that the aircraft had flown to the suburbs without him noticing. He cursed softly and said, "There's something wrong with the navigation. Fortunately, you discovered it early, otherwise we would have flown to the next planet."
Han Yan put out his cigarette and said only one sentence: "Turn around and go back to the company."
He has a meeting in the afternoon and he doesn't like to be late.
Johnny had also taken an aircraft pilot's license in his spare time, but he was not very proficient. Upon hearing this, he had to fumble with the control of the aircraft to return the original route, not knowing that a aircraft had already followed them quietly in the dark.
Han Yan was originally sitting in his seat with his eyes closed. Perhaps he noticed something was wrong, but he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the back seat, and went straight to the passenger seat.
Johnny glanced at him subconsciously: "What's wrong?"
Han Yan said nothing, but called up the footage behind the aircraft. He found a blue aircraft following them not too far away. He said to Johnny in a deep voice, "Don't ask so many questions. Get out of here quickly."
After he finished speaking, he directly pressed the red button at hand, which was a manual alarm device in case of aircraft failure. As long as it was pressed, the star network system would automatically transmit the coordinates to the nearest hospital and military garrison.
Johnny was about to speed up when he heard that. However, just as he started the joystick, he saw a blue aircraft collide with him from the corner of his eye. With a loud bang, most of the windows were shattered in an instant, and the red light in the cabin flashed frequently:
[Warning! Warning! Hit by unknown external force! Unable to continue flying!] [Warning! Warning! The flight equipment is damaged, emergency landing is in progress!]
[Selecting the landing area! ]
Johnny and Han Yan happened to be sitting in the front. Seeing this, they subconsciously raised their hands to protect their eyes, but they were hit by the external force and saw stars.
However, the blue aircraft seemed determined to kill them. After failing to hit them once, it rushed up again and hit them hard. The two aircraft had different levels of protection. After the collision, the aircraft driven by Johnny fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"boom!"
This place is close to the suburbs and there are only a few scattered houses. When the nearby residents heard the noise, they opened their windows and looked out. When they saw that the situation was not good, they quickly retreated and quickly called the police.
There were two female insects wearing baseball caps and masks sitting on the blue aircraft. They landed not far away and waited for a while but did not see Han Yan and the others get off the aircraft. They looked at each other at the same time.
"Will he die?"
"Just in case, let's go down and take a look."
They each carried a silenced laser gun hidden at their waists. They opened the hatch and walked straight towards the crashed aircraft. Their steps were quick, and it was obvious that they were well-trained.
One of the tall and thin female insects opened the severely deformed cabin door to check the situation, and found a gentle-looking blue-haired man sitting in the co-pilot seat with blood on his forehead, and he had fallen into a coma.
The tall and thin female insect did not reach out to check his breath, but directly drew her gun to prepare for another attack. However, at this moment, Han Yan, who had fainted, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wrist with lightning speed, and chopped down fiercely at his elbow with his right hand like a knife. There was a sound of broken bones, and the tall and thin female insect screamed. The light energy gun instantly slipped out of her hand and was caught by Han Yan.
"boom!"
Han Yan decisively pulled the trigger and shot him in the throat. Blood splattered on his gentle and elegant face, but his usual gentleness was gone, and he only felt cold and fierce.
Another female insect was originally checking on Johnny. When she saw her companion being killed, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she was about to draw her gun and shoot Han Yan. However, Johnny, who had been lying on the chair pretending to be unconscious, suddenly pounced and bit his wrist tightly, biting directly to the bone.
“Damn it!”
The female insect felt the pain and cursed fiercely. But he knew the importance of the situation and ignored Johnny, but planned to deal with Han Yan who had a gun first. However, he didn't expect that Han Yan, a seemingly weak male insect, was more skillful than the female insect and dodged his shooting by moving sideways.
"boom!"
It went astray.
In just a moment of distraction, Han Yan quickly raised his hand and fired three shots at the female insect's chest, then moved down and fired another shot at his knee. Seeing the other party fall to the ground in pain, he threw the exhausted light energy gun to the side with a clang.
Han Yan's right leg was stuck in the cockpit. He frowned and pried open the cabin door that had long been deformed. Regardless of his cut palm, he struggled to pull out his bloody right leg, then limped off the aircraft.
Han Yan leaned against the wall beside the road and took a hard breath. He turned around and found Johnny still standing there in a daze. He frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? Come down quickly!"
The aircraft suffered a severe impact and might explode soon.
Han Yan has already sent a distress signal. The army and medical team should be here soon, and all they need to do is wait for rescue in a safe place.
Johnny was already frightened, and hurriedly got out of the aircraft upon hearing this. Seeing that Han Yan seemed to have an injured right leg, he hurried forward and tried to help him to a safe place, but Han Yan shook his hand off.
Johnny shouted anxiously, "Let me help you!"
Han Yan ignored him and just limped forward, holding onto the wall. He frowned and looked embarrassed and cold. "None of your business."
The back figure looks strangely familiar.
Johnny stood there in a daze, rubbed his eyes when he saw this, and for a moment he suspected that he was having an illusion, as if the person appearing in front of him was not Han Yan, but Gain.
