The large-scale ravages of the Zerg happened more than 700 years ago. Since Qin Feng Anderson drove the first-generation mecha and the Zerg Emperor blew himself up, the Zerg was scattered into scattered individuals, led by the Zerg Grand Duke, scattered in the universe, and some sneaked into the universe. In the depths of the universe, there is no longer any contact with humans, and some of them have repeatedly appeared in the field of vision of humans. Every few years, there will be news of Zerg invasion on the border. This news is the same as the weather every day. It can no longer move humans. nerves. A few years ago, Auston defeated the Grand Duke of the Zerg and strangled a group of bugs. It was the biggest battle against the Zerg in seven hundred years.
But after the war settled down and the heat faded, people would forget the tragedy of that battle. At most, when they talked about the bravery and handsomeness of General Auston, they would bring great achievements.
It has to be said that humans are very forgetful creatures. When the scar no longer hurts, forget about the creature that hurt you.
The smile on Ryan's gentle face became weaker and weaker, but the smile did not disappear. He told the manager, "Organize people to grab the stars within the hotel range... Hehe." The faint smile showed a bit of sarcasm, and he continued: "Find All the star bugs you can find, gather in... just gather here."
"Sir, this request is too unreasonable. I'm sorry, we can't cooperate." The manager smiled. Although the Star Hotel puts the needs of the guests first, it will never spend a lot of manpower and material resources to indulge the unreasonable troubles of the guests. The star bugs are just some Harmless ornamental insects, although their reproductive ability is stronger, they are not harmful to humans, and they are even a scenic spot in the hotel.
The hotel mysteriously added a sentence in the publicity-the stars in the sky, the stars on the ground.
This is not only referring to the Star Hotel on the ground, but also refers to these little bugs hiding in the grass. Star worms are round and round, and their carapaces have colorful fluorescent lights. They emit a slight sound that is not noisy at all, which is very popular with some people. Some customers even propose to buy star worms to take home to raise. If it weren't for the headache caused by the overbearing breeding ability of star worms, the hotel would really find a way to develop the star worm industry chain.
Ryan shook his head, he wasn't helpless or angry, he just felt powerless. In order to kill the Zerg more than 700 years ago, how many soldiers' blood was shed on the battlefield. Whose children, whose husbands and wives, and whose parents are they? The young life has disappeared, and it is difficult to find a complete body in the blood, because the worms that eat everything will eat all the food in their mouths... Ryan closed his eyes and recalled, there are still fresh faces in front of his eyes. They are their comrades, friends, superiors, subordinates, competitors... But in the face of the common enemy, they abandon each other's prejudices. On the battlefield, they are soldiers who can turn their backs to each other. Facing enemies that threaten the survival of the group.
How long has it been since the old rival Zerg has become a harmless creature in people's mouth.
Ryan was a little disheartened, shook his head and turned to look at Auston, the bitterness in his smile that only he could understand. Auston felt sorry for Ryan, and it wasn't worth it to station the soldiers on the border. He smiled at Ryan, and put Tuantuan, who had opened his eyes and understood the world, in Ryan's hand. He said, "Go to the room to rest, Leave it to me here."
"I..." Ryan wanted to say no, but a sense of depression appeared like a tarsal maggot. After all, he was a human being, not a god who was put on a high platform by future generations. If he was a human being, he would be weak, sad, and angry. Those who are firm and unable to stand their own guards hollow out the cornerstone of faith.
"Go, Tuantuan will be hungry soon."
Hearing the voice of his father calling him, Tuantuan oh and looked in the direction of his father. Being hugged by his father, he moved a little awkwardly, but this embrace was warm and comfortable, and he liked it very much, so he reluctantly gave it to the old man. Dad hugged.
Ryan bent his mouth to laugh, but Auston stopped him, "If you don't want to laugh, stop laughing."
Ryan put away his smile, "Yeah." He walked into the room with the baby in his arms, lay on his back on the bed, put the little baby on his stomach, and looked at the eternal night sky, the scenery and the scenery from seven hundred years ago It's exactly the same, but people's hearts are really different. Fortunately, there was Oston, and Tuantuan... Tuantuan lay on his father's stomach, sliding his hands and feet like a little turtle. After finding new fun, he immediately became happy, and gave out a baby-like giggle. Amidst the child's simple laughter, the corners of Ryan Laping's mouth gradually rose. He thought, it doesn't matter if people's hearts change, it doesn't matter if the empire shakes, everything that goes off the rails can be changed, as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do.
Thinking of this, he hugged Tuantuan to his eyes, and kissed Tuantuan's chubby little face forcefully.
Boss Tuantuan was not happy, "Ah!" He pushed his father's face weakly with his tender little hands, but he couldn't push it away. He was so angry that he kicked his legs.
Outside the room, Auston took off the simulation mask on his face. The manager and the other two employees of the hotel knew the youngest admiral in the empire, and their attitudes immediately changed. Under the command, all the security personnel of the hotel were mobilized. Three hours later, a large number of "star bugs" appeared outside the room. It was already past midnight, and the security personnel who were called out complained a little.
"I rest today!"
"It seems that I am not the same."
"Called over to catch bugs out of nowhere, nervous, it's just a few star bugs, what's the big deal."
"I'm so sleepy, I don't know when I can go back to sleep. Alas, the requirements of our hotel are getting more and more abnormal, and it's not like this to meet the needs of guests."
"That's right, it's just making trouble for no reason!"
These two male employees were dragging their feet towards the place where the star worms were piled up. Each of them was carrying a net bag in their hands, and there were two or three star worms in the net bag, which looked inconspicuous.
"I'm going to quit if I continue to serve pervertedly like this."
“… the salary is still okay.”
"It's just catching bugs now, do you want to get up in the middle of the night and give people a hula dance?"
"Uh, I heard that a room service in District F met him and asked him to take off his clothes and wear a hula to dance, but he gave thousands of tips, which is equivalent to half a month's salary."
"Tch, I want respect more than money... God, what is that?"
The two were stunned when they saw the "hill" 100 meters away. They opened their mouths, and when they heard the sound of moving and creaking, they felt nausea and fear from the bottom of their hearts, densely packed with insects. Even with the beautiful colorful fluorescence, it can't conceal the shock and disgust caused by the huge number. A hundred meters away, a five-meter-high "flowing" hill appeared. The star bugs gathered together, and the brightness could be compared with the light, but these are all bugs, so many are not half beautiful!
Auston asked in a deep voice, "How long has it been since you cleaned up the star bugs?"
"Two or two months." The manager struggled. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple slid up and down, looking nervous and uneasy. He defended himself and informed the general about the hotel's cleanup of the star worms, "The star worms appeared. We have been in the hotel for three years, and we used to clean them every quarter, and the number of clean-ups each time was about two hundred, leaving some good-looking ones for guests to watch."
"How many are left after each cleanup?"
The manager looked at the speaker. The ordinary-looking man who had entered the room with the child came out. He was wearing a fake mask. Now that the mask was removed, the exposed face was General Auston Dalton. husband Ryan Smith. The manager has paid attention to this couple and participated in the Internet scolding war. He supports Admiral Dalton's choice and believes that marriage is the freedom of others, and others have no right to comment. Seeing the real person now, he was a little excited and at a loss, and replied tremblingly, "There will be about 20 bugs left each time, because these bugs are good at hiding, and the obvious ones are left behind. Maybe we can't find them." There are a few more."
In two months, it is estimated that there are more than 500 star bugs that can be found. The female insects hold eggs, and the insect population will become larger after birth.
Ryan nodded, moved his gaze, and landed on the worm mountain. "They have evolved," becoming more capable of reproduction, and the attack power of some individuals has become stronger. It is not easy to see, but if you distinguish carefully, you will find that they are more aggressive. The two large pincers in front of the worm become sharp, and given some time, it will be able to evolve a worm that is completely different from the existing star worm. The biggest characteristic of this kind of worm, which is called star worm by ordinary people, is that it can give birth and evolve through continuous reproduction.
The fact that was discovered more than 700 years ago is now estimated to have become a legend, that is, when humans divided the battlefield and besieged the Zerg, they killed all the elite Zerg, and when cleaning up the remaining wandering insects, which are now the star bugs, they discovered that these little bugs actually It can develop in the direction of elite Zerg and evolve through continuous reproduction.
If Ryan and Auston hadn't come to the Star Hotel today, and Daifuku hadn't run around and found these bugs, the neglected star bugs are likely to give birth to a Zerg army in the capital star in the next few years, even if there is no Zerg Grand Duke, Zerg Without the command of the emperor, the damage to human beings will also be terrible and fatal.
The manager shivered, "I, we didn't know that these were Zerg. We thought they were alien ornamental bugs. After checking on Starnet, some experts said so."
Ryan sneered, "Are experts sure to believe everything?"
The manager acted like a quail and dared not speak.
Auston said: "This matter is not trivial. I have notified the police department and the garrison, and I have also spoken to the acting prime minister. Next, there will be an uproar."
"Then what should we do?" Ryan, who had completely adjusted his mentality, said with a smile: "Then let the storm be more violent."
"Yes!" Alston also laughed, since this is already the case, let's make the storm more violent.
The manager who stayed by the side did not dare to take a breath. He guessed that his hotel had been involved in a serious situation, and it would be difficult to get out of his body.
Indeed, as the manager had expected, it was impossible for the Star Hotel to escape unscathed, but the reality was much better than expected. The hotel did not go bankrupt, but was closed for rectification, which is quite good. Compared with the Star Hotel, the strong wind blowing from the hotel directly swept across the entire empire. Everyone in the empire was looking for traces of the star worms. The news has increased the popularization of Zerg science, and major news newspapers have serialized this matter. As long as the public finds star bugs and calls the police, they can also get rewards. After only a week of searching, to the public's astonishment, the place where the star bugs appeared most densely turned out to be the capital star field, especially the capital star.
The extermination activities are in full swing. As the number of star bugs continues to rise, the hot discussion among the people has gradually cooled down. It's not that the heat has lost, but people's ability to think of the horror of the Zerg has gasped. Know how to describe your thoughts. There has already been a large-scale "fleeing" of people in the capital star. After a short silence, the public began to ask questions. What caused it all
The spearhead was directed at the former Prime Minister Gustav.
The former Prime Minister Gustav has been sued by the interim government in court. During his administration, he weakened the capital's security checks in the star field, chaotic garrison and other actions were charged with disrupting national security and ignoring people's lives. The public trial, the former prime minister's self-defense, public questioning and so on are constantly being staged, but it is no longer what Ryan wants to care about. As the acting chief executive of the Imperial Mech Research Institute, he is very busy with work, not just presiding over the production of animal-shaped mechs All the projects and the entire research institute were on his shoulders, all kinds of difficulties came quickly and directly, and he handled them conveniently and simply.
After arranging some things about the production of the animal-shaped mecha, Ryan strolled around in the research institute, followed by Xiao Liu. He was not really walking, but walked around to learn about the progress of other projects. The research institute is so big and there are so many things to do. Inspections every few days should be done.
"The progress of the work cannot be advanced, and I feel like I am chatting every day when I go to work."
"I've eaten three catties of melon seeds."
"I don't know what Sierra is thinking?"
"What are you gathering here for?"
Seven or eight scientific researchers who were chatting in the corridor looked at the person who spoke, and found that it was the acting CEO. Someone who said that he ate three catties of melon seeds smiled coyly, "CEO."
Others reacted and should say hello.
Ryan nodded gently, and continued to ask: "It's working time now, what are you doing here?"
"CEO..." Brother Guazi looked around and saw that his colleagues were avoiding his eyes. Facing the CEO's question, he could only bite the bullet and say: "The team leader kicked us out, saying that I, we are bothering you." his train of thought."
"Sera?"
"Yeah." Brother Guazi lowered his head, a little afraid to look into the CEO's eyes. Before the official launch of the animal-shaped mecha production project, the CEO sent transfer orders to many scientific researchers, and he also received them, but because of hesitation and lack of trust in the acting CEO, he chose Rejection, there are not a few people who do the same as him, and now he regrets it, and he doesn't know what other people think. After being incorporated into Sierra's team and responsible for making the nerve centers of 500 mechas, he regretted it even more. Eating melon seeds was to relieve the anxiety caused by regret in his heart.
He has a good friend in the animal-shaped mecha production project team, named Leonard. He used to be a soy saucer in the material team and sat on the bench. He had a talent but could not be reused. Leonard was disheartened, ready to give up, and ready to retire like this. But after entering the animal-shaped mech project team, the CEO discovered his specialty and asked him to serve as the team leader of the material team. Now he can fly when he walks. It’s not that his mentality is drifting, it’s because he is too busy and has no heels. The law occupies the land.
Ryan understood, and criticized with a smile, "In the future, I have nothing to do and want to chat, don't stay in the corridor, go to the tea room, it's not good to affect others."
Brother Guazi dare not really think that the CEO is gentle and easy-going. He has heard that in the animal-shaped mech project team, the CEO can talk people to death with a smile on his face. He gritted his teeth and continued to work hard after being scolded. It seems that several people have made a breakthrough because of this, and their future will definitely be even greater. Brother Guazi really hoped that the CEO could scold him. The people in the animal-shaped mecha project team said that the CEO’s cursing has something to say, and it can enlighten people... Thinking about it this way, Brother Guazi regretted it even more. Why hesitate! ! !
"Don't be in a daze, let's go to the tea room."
Brother Guazi was dragged twice by his colleagues, he raised his head in a daze, and found that the CEO had long since disappeared, he lowered his head and sighed, "Oh."
"Let's go, why are you in a daze, and you will be scolded when you are seen by the CEO?!"
"Oh, there was an opportunity in front of me once, and I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I missed it. I wanted to call myself a big fool, woo woo woo." , Brother Guazi is very, very sad right now, and really wants to travel back to the past few days and strangle the hesitant self to death.
There is no medicine for regret in the world, there is only one chance, if you cannot grasp it, it is useless to regret it too late.
Ryan, who gave others a chance, bypassed several scientific researchers and walked into the room. The laboratory starting with 2 in area D is relatively important, with an area of more than 200 square meters, which is specially used to make test benches for nerve centers. There are more than thirty, but it has been a week since the project started, and the place is still empty, without even the parts of the nerve center. At the laboratory console, the haggard and older Sera stared at the light screen tightly, his brows were furrowed, and a small pimple in the middle made him look bitter and bitter.
Without seeing who it was, Sera yelled when she heard footsteps, "Go away, you agreed not to disturb me!"
Ryan smiled slightly, and continued to walk forward. Seeing the drawings on the light screen, he knew in his heart that Sera had not yet fully grasped the core of the nerve center. Sera, who was obsessed with this, did not know what price he had paid to get the task of making 500 mechas, and finally saw the complete nerve center blueprint he had dreamed of. Seeing and learning were completely different things. He thought hard for a week Still no progress. Sera looked at the drawings, and then looked down at the notebook with flimsy paper in front of her. The notebook, which had been stored for more than seven hundred years, could no longer withstand frequent flipping, and the paper made an overwhelmed "groaning/groaning" sound.
Ryan shook his head, "It's useless to read a book, you should ask your teacher."
Sera's eyes were blank, and she subconsciously repeated, "Ask the teacher?"
"Your teacher is very knowledgeable and a good teacher."
Sera lowered his head, looked at the notebook and said quietly: "He betrayed the family, but as a vassal, he has been transferred to a subordinate research institution."
"But it's still your teacher. If you don't understand anything, you can ask."
Sera suddenly turned his head to look at Ryan, with straight eyes and a bit of frightening persistence, "You are the CEO now, and you beat me, isn't it great?"
Ryan said frankly: "A little bit, but only a little bit. You are too weak to be considered my enemy."
Sera was not angry, it was amazing, "You won, can you tell me about the core content of the nerve center now?"
Ryan couldn't keep up with Sera's brain circuit, he simply refused, "I don't want to."
"why?"
"There's no reason, I just don't want to, you can't be my enemy, but I don't like your attitude towards soldiers very much." The smile on Ryan's face was very light, "I have clear rewards and punishments. When you have no major faults, you won't What to do to you, let alone transfer you from your post under false pretenses while the research institute employs people. Although I did not do anything, it does not mean that I can forgive your attitude. Soldiers who guard the country for the country cannot be slandered and tarnished. Even if you crawl on the ground and beg me on your knees, I will not provide any help."
"you!"
"You should thank me for my attitude, otherwise I would have fired you long ago."
"Why?"
"When you are sitting in my current position, come and ask me why." Ryan turned around, he felt that he didn't need to do anything at all, just wait for Sera to make a mistake, and it will be a matter of time before he leaves, "Don't Delaying the progress of the production of five hundred mechanical mechs, the consequences are not something you can bear, I found you a deputy, and he will be fully responsible for the production of the mechas." It is equivalent to emptying Sera.
What Ryan is looking for is none other than Sera's teacher. The two have been mentoring for many years, and they can always balance and restrict.
That's the bad thing about being a leader. You need to think too much, and you can't be completely influenced by personal emotions.
After walking around, Ryan saw that the time was almost up, so he was going to go home from get off work. On the way home, I went to the newly discovered dessert shop and bought a cheesecake and a few puffs filled with ice cream. These two types are the best in this shop. When he got home, Auston was already there, walking in the park with Tuan Tuan in his arms. This was Tuan Tuan's favorite entertainment. If he grabbed another flower in his hand, he would be more secure.
Ryan walked over and kissed Auston on the cheek, "I bought a cake, let's eat something to fill our stomachs before dinner."
Xiao Tuantuan waved his hands angrily, yelled "Ah" twice, and when Ryan's eyes fell on his face, Tuantuan puffed up his face, Ryan smiled, bent down and kissed Tuantuan's chubby face . Tuantuan turned her head in embarrassment, and buried herself in her father's arms.
Xiao Tuantuan liked Daddy more and more.
Both Auston and Ryan are happy for the child's change, and what Auston will say next should be mostly happy, "A young man who claimed to be Stark came to the police station today and said It is to sue the Gustav family and rehabilitate Antonio Stark."
It was an unexpected thing.
Ryan frowned and thought for a while and said, "How about inviting them to be guests at home?"
Auston: "That's exactly what I mean."
