The follow-up finishing work of this operation was completed by the Covenant. The stronghold of this planet was occupied by the Covenant. The Covenant's army cleaned up the star field that belongs to the gray area.
Gu Huai's situation made the Zerg not bother to care about these matters. They took their fleet and returned to Tuther from this star field.
On the bed in the room, Gu Huai had slept on it for a day, plus the time he had returned from another star field, Gu Huai had slept for several days.
Next to Gu Huai's pillow was a gray baby egg, the egg lay there quietly, and the light gray eggshell looked quite shiny in the daytime.
Alves has been by the bedside, and since he came back, he has maintained this state with a blank face.
Gu Huai woke up on the sixth day. As soon as he woke up and opened his eyes, he asked, "Is Ai okay? Did he come back with me?"
This question made Alves unable to answer immediately. With Ai's current state, it is difficult to determine whether it is good or bad, and I don't know if this can be regarded as coming back together.
Alves' brief silence made Gu Huai blink, and his eyes turned slightly red almost immediately.
"Here." Alves pursed his lips, picked up the gray cub lying quietly beside the pillow that Gu Huai didn't notice, and handed it to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai was stunned when he saw this cub: "This is... Ai?"
"Yeah." Alves responded with a single tone.
"A Huai." Alves lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't cry."
Hearing what Alves said, Gu Huai realized that his face was a little wet, and Alves leaned down and kissed the wet place on his cheek.
"In the future, I will never leave your side." If he didn't do this, Alves couldn't feel at ease.
Gu Huai raised his hand and wiped his eyes. He hugged the gray cub that Alves handed over with both hands.
With the ability of equivalent exchange, he gave out a part of his own vitality, plus Ai's own body, did he become this cub...
Gu Huai stretched out his hand and touched the gray baby egg. Through his mental power, he sensed the life reaction of the baby egg.
It is a very vigorous life response, and this is a very healthy baby egg.
"It must be born healthy." Gu Huai said to the cub.
Although he has become a cub, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future, Ai's life has not completely disappeared, and it has continued in this way. Gu Huai is very grateful and grateful.
There was no way for the little cub to respond to Gu Huai. The gray cub was quietly in Gu Huai's hands, but after Gu Huai finished saying this, there was a moment when the life of the cub reacted. It seemed to be a little more active, like a silent response to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai blinked again, suddenly feeling like he wanted to cry because he was moved.
Gu Huai carefully put the cub back next to the pillow. He raised his eyes and saw Alves was still standing by the bed, watching him. He finally realized the state of the big cat and the state of it with hindsight. Usually not the same.
"How long have I slept?" Gu Huai raised his head and asked.
Alves stated truthfully: "Five days."
Gu Huai immediately responded: "You've been staying by my side and haven't gone anywhere?"
"Yeah." Alves responded.
From the expression, Alves couldn't see any special emotions, he still gave off a cold and indifferent feeling, but when he looked at Gu Huai, he revealed more obvious persistence than before.
He won't take his eyes away if he stares at it, and Alves lacks peace of mind right now.
It means that he didn't take a step away, and he didn't even eat or sleep.
Understanding this, Gu Huai took Alves' hand and said, "I'm hungry."
"I haven't eaten for five days, I'm very hungry." Gu Huai reiterated.
Gu Huai's words made Alves act immediately, but he didn't leave the room, he just asked his adjutant to prepare the food.
Alves' orders also let the other Zerg know about Gu Huai's awakening. They came to the room one after another, and they acted cautiously.
The king was very gentle with them and took them very seriously. Because of this, what happened to Ai will definitely make Gu Huai very sad.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling okay? Is there any discomfort in your body?" Kapalia asked in a slow voice.
The Zerg, headed by Kapalya and Simodo, are most concerned about this issue.
Gu Huai met the concerned gazes of the surrounding Zerg, and quickly replied in a warm voice, "Well, I'm fine, I've rested."
After a few days of sleep, the consumption of mental power quickly recovered completely, but Gu Huai's current body is still a little weak, which is the result of his separation of his own vitality.
Regarding the fact that he used his ability to exchange part of his life force for Ai Yi, Gu Huai didn't plan to tell his Zerg family, saying it plainly to increase their worries, Gu Huai felt that it was unnecessary.
Zerg is a race with strong self-evolution ability, and its vitality has become stronger than other races in the continuous genetic evolution. Gu Huai thinks that he can bear this result.
The food was ready to be delivered quickly, and a mobile table was set up beside the bed.
But Gu Huai didn't start eating immediately, but looked at Alves and said, "You eat with me."
Knowing that this big cat has been guarding him for so many days and hasn't gone anywhere, Gu Huai just thought of this method to let the other party eat. If Gu Huai directly said to let Alves leave to rest, Alves would definitely not leave.
For the Zerg, not eating anything and not sleeping for five days actually had no effect on body function, but Gu Huai didn't want to see Alves because he became in this state.
Alves didn't respond, but he complied with Gu Huai's request to him.
When he was almost done eating, Gu Huai picked up the gray cub beside the pillow and said to the chief of staff, "Can you build a small heat preservation room in my room?"
"It's winter now, and I'm worried that the cold weather will make this cub uncomfortable. It would be better to have an incubator." Gu Huai expressed his consideration.
Zerg cubs have strong vitality and are not as fragile as cubs of other races, but the chief of staff responded immediately at this time: "This subordinate will explain it now."
Gu Huai's room was very large, and the insulation room was quickly built in the room. Gu Huai carried the cub into it.
Now that he woke up, Gu Huai had to contact the Star Alliance to explain the matter about Gavin.
Facing the communication image, Gu Huai said to the Star Alliance personnel who appeared in the image: "Gavin transformed a part of his body into a 'falling star', and in the alien space brought into by the black hole, he self-destructed, You can register him as dead."
This sentence revealed too much information, and it was a bit difficult for the Covenant to digest it for a while.
Gavin is dead, the thorn in the Covenant's heart is gone, the Covenant is of course very happy, but they are a bit difficult to face the Zerg now.
The power of the "Meteor Star" is known to all the Covenant members. It was a terrifying weapon that almost blew up half of the planet where their Covenant headquarters was located.
Now that the Zerg king and a legion commander have suffered such serious injuries for assisting them, the Covenant owes the Zerg more than a simple matter of favor.
After the contact with the Star Alliance was completed and the communication video was turned off, Gu Huai went to pull the tail of Alves next to him.
He took the initiative to wrap this tail around his body, Gu Huai bent his eyes at Alves and smiled: "I'm a little scared, if you wrap me around, I'll feel more at ease."
After Gu Huai finished speaking, Alves tightened the silver-gray tail around him and hugged him into his arms.
Gu Huai calmly comforted the other party. After Alves hugged Gu Huai's body firmly, his inner restlessness finally subsided a little.
In the next few days, Gu Huai not only went to see the situation of the cubs every day, but also to appease Alves.
Since this incident, this big cat has become particularly clingy. In the past, Gu Huai basically followed wherever he went, and now he has also canceled the occasional gap.
It's like the one who followed Gu Huai into the bathroom and bathroom.
Gu Huai felt that it was not enough to keep Alves in this overly nervous state, so one day he gave in to the option of "bathroom".
It is also conceivable what would happen at this location, Gu Huai was forced to put his back against the wall and struggled to suppress his voice.
Gu Huai put in so much effort, and after this discordant incident, Alves' state was finally not so tense.
Gu Huai looked forward to the hatchling of the baby eggs in the incubator every day, but after several months passed, the baby eggs still only showed vigorous vitality, but there was no sign of breaking the shell.
However, the size of the baby egg has changed, from the original size of a volleyball to several times larger.
This is not normal, normally the size of the pup eggs does not change.
Ai's situation was very similar to Gu Huai's back then. The baby egg that gave birth to Gu Huai was also very huge. Gu Huai was nurtured in it until he was an adult.
However, the gray baby egg in the incubation room only increased several times in size and then stopped growing again, and it has been quiet and unchanged since then.
"It will definitely be born." Gu Huai routinely went to the incubator to touch the cub's egg, and warmly encouraged, "It's spring now, and it will be summer in a month. Both seasons are very warm, yes A season for the birth of new life."
Although the waiting time seemed to be longer, Gu Huai was not disappointed.
This cub has an active life force and also responds to his words, which is a testament to hope.
A year passed quickly, and during the stable operation of Tuther, the planet soon ushered in the second winter.
And this year, the first snow fell on Tusor very early.
Not long after the start of winter on Tuther, the snow that wrapped the planet in silver fell. It fell in the morning. The trees in the courtyard of the mansion were soon carrying snow, and the ground gradually turned into a snow field.
And as if sensing something, when the first snowflakes fell in the sky of Tuther Star, the cub who had been quietly in the insulation room finally had a different movement.
"Crack-"
With a very clear sound, a cracked pattern appeared on the eggshell of this gray baby egg.
Gu Huai was staying in the living room on the first floor of the mansion at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed when he looked at the courtyard where the snow was constantly falling.
The snow should stop at noon. After it stops, the snow on the ground can be used to build a snowman.
Gu Huai thought of what he said last winter that he would also build snowmen for Alves and the others this year. At that time, Ai told him to build it with him tomorrow.
"Let's build a snowman in the afternoon, and we'll help Ai build one too." Gu Huai sat on the sofa, raised his head and said to Kapaliya, who was standing not far away.
Of course Kapalya nodded in agreement, but before she could speak, she suddenly heard a voice from a Zerg with a tone of apparent amazement: "Lord Ai!"
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked in the direction the Zerg soldier was looking at. Afterwards, he saw an extremely delicate-looking man with a pair of extremely pale golden eyes, a pair of curved horns on his head, and a still face. The one with two light grey faces… kid.
From the appearance, it looks like five or six years old.
The Zerg did not have such a juvenile form, but according to various characteristics, Gu Huai still recognized each other.
"Ai Yi!" Gu Huai was both surprised and stunned by the situation.
Without waiting for Gu Huai to make any moves, this Zerg cub, who was in humanoid form but was undoubtedly in its infancy, immediately approached Gu Huai when he saw Gu Huai.
Everything around was unfamiliar, but when he saw Gu Huai, Ai knew that he was going to go over to him.
"King." After approaching Gu Huai immediately, Ai subconsciously called him that.
Memories are blanks for new students, and Ai can't even recall his own name for the time being.
But Ai still remembered, deeply subconsciously, that the person in front of him seemed to be in danger, and he wanted to protect him.
Seeing Ai's reaction, Gu Huai paused and asked, "Do you still remember the past?"
The young Ai Yi looked at Gu Huai, his pale gold vertical pupils were as clear as the cleanest spring water, and he shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember." Gu Huai stroked the other person's hair, "Your name is Ai, you need to remember your name."
If the previous memory of getting along is gone, they can also build a new one.
"Want to build a snowman?" Gu Huai asked.
Make a snowman…
Ai's mind seemed to skip a certain vague memory for a moment. He couldn't remember the specifics, but it seemed to be related to snowmen.
It seems that it is also because of this matter that he is so eager to be born out of the shell when this winter comes.
Because there is a very important appointment this winter, and a gift that cannot be missed.
