Lu Cheng soon led Shen Xiluo along the path of the military headquarters.
Wang Qiuyang quietly stayed not far away, not letting anyone approach.
The medical equipment and medicines on the battleship were abundant, and Lucas did not need any large equipment, so Shen Xiluo just brought a small medical bag.
Luo Ran stayed by the bed and looked down at Lucas.
The tall man was lying unconsciously at the moment, just as usual.
If it hadn't been said by others, he wouldn't have seen that Lucas was injured.
Luo Ran lowered her eyes and said, "What's going on?"
Freeman, who had been following Lucas, said in a low voice, "We... we didn't fight in Southeast Star City at all, we didn't win or lose, and Xing Kou took the hostages and didn't plan to negotiate with us at all."
"That star bandit is taking hostages...?"
"Declare war, demonstrate."
Two days have passed, and Freeman is still gritted his teeth when he says, "When we arrived, they directly... blew up the city of Te with a meteor shower."
Luo Ran was stunned.
The meteor shower is the ultimate weapon of the star bandit, and it is generally not used.
- It's artillery.
The power was huge, and the sky was covered with artillery fire after the launch, as if a meteor shower had fallen, enough to destroy a small city.
It's just that making such a weapon requires a terrifying amount of money, material quantities, and time.
Luo Ran didn't expect Xing Kou to use it here, this is not an important battle.
As it turns out, this isn't their only meteor shower.
Could it be... a test of power
While testing the power, by the way, a warning to the Empire and Falling Ice
Luo Ran's palm was a little cold.
"The admiral was already half-susceptible, but when he went to battle, the male lion was affected by the meteor shower. The male lion and the admiral were fine, but the admiral had a problem with his spirit..."
"The city of te was half-destroyed by the bombing, and all the hostages were left with wreckage and broken bones. This matter... has already affected everyone's mood and morale, so the matter of the general's fall must be kept a secret, and the fall of the general will be officially announced in two days. Return to the team and pretend that the admiral came back with the brigade."
Freeman spoke in a well-organized manner, but his tone could not help but tremble.
For soldiers, no matter how strong their minds are, seeing hundreds of people being blown up by artillery fire in front of their eyes is still...
Horrible, disgusting, angry, sad... more of a powerless self-blame.
And Lucas, as a leading general in the charge, naturally sees it most clearly from the front.
This is the failure of a general who failed to predict this disaster.
Loran paused for a long time and whispered, "Adjutant Freeman."
"Um?"
"When was the last time a meteor shower appeared?"
Freeman said: "It's Operation Canyon, and it's..."
Freeman was taken aback.
It was also the first battle of Admiral Alton's unfortunate campaign.
"That... that..." Freeman stared blankly at Lucas.
"It's okay, I'll be with him, you just came back, go home and have a good rest for a few days." Luo Ran stepped forward and gently rubbed Freeman's shoulder: "Let the soldiers who participated in this battle go home and rest well, Can you help me deal with it?"
"Yes!"
Shen Xi fell aside while looking at the instrument while injecting Lucas.
The susceptible period of alpha can be relieved by omegas of the same level or higher, but the mental breakdown also requires drug assistance.
Luo Ran stood aside, not daring to disturb.
Shen Xiluo glanced at Luo Ran and said: "The accompanying doctor has done a good job, directly putting the general into a deep coma without absolute certainty, and repairing it by the body and spirit."
"That… "
Shen Xiluo's tone did not fluctuate and said: "It's okay, you use pheromones and regularly let the admiral inject drugs, and it will pass after a few weeks, which is similar to your previous situation. You and the admiral are both mentally injured people. Naturally, it is easier to get injured, but the same body is used to it and knows how to repair itself.”
"it is good."
Shen Xiluo said: "I'm staying in the next room, don't panic if you have anything, come to me."
"Okay." Luo Ran said gratefully, "Thank you."
Shen Xi paused and said, "I learned something from Adjutant Freeman, and Xingkou has produced a meteor shower again?"
"Yes."
"Well." Shen Xiluo didn't say anything, turned his head and left.
Luo Ran subtly noticed Shen Xiluo's depressed mood.
But Luo Ran didn't care about Shen Xiluo, just sat by the bed and gently held Lucas's hand.
Lucas's hands are half flesh and half hard machinery.
Half warm and half icy.
Now that he has returned to the capital, Shen Xiluo is also there, so Lucas was not injected to sleep, and woke up after lying down in the middle of the night.
Luo Ran sat by the bed and closed her eyes, holding Lucas's hand, and opened her eyes as soon as she sensed the movement.
Lucas looked at Luo Ran and frowned slightly.
"The Admiral wakes up..."
"go out."
Luo Ran was taken aback.
Lucas said hoarsely, "Ran Ran, go out."
Lucas felt a headache, very, very painful, and his consciousness was not completely clear at this moment.
The mental disorder of alpha is different from that of omega. Although it hurts the same, omega will experience hallucinations and weakness, while alpha is endlessly trying to destroy, attack, and go crazy.
Luo Ran asked, "Why?"
"I said, go out." Lucas said hoarsely, "Believe it or not I do beastly things."
"Many beasts?" Luo Ran smiled, went straight to bed, lay down beside Lucas, and hugged Lucas gently.
Lucas felt that he was gently embraced by the white tea pheromone, which relieved a lot of pain and the restlessness that drove him crazy.
"You can't imagine." Lucas gasped softly, not daring to move.
"Then don't think about it. Admiral just take a good rest. Admiral can't beat me anyway, so don't worry." Luo Ran put his arms around Lucas' neck and let Lucas lean against his chest.
"Luo Ran." Lucas' eyes were red, as if he was extremely patient with the anger and destructive desire, "You don't know how much strength an out-of-control alpha has."
Lucas felt like a monster living in his body, clamoring to come out, destroy everything around him, and then bully Luo Ran severely.
It was the ugliest possessiveness in his heart, which made him hold back his breath.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
"I know." Luo Ran said seriously: "Since I'm here, I'm ready, the admiral doesn't have to be patient."
Luo Ran can't imagine how painful the alpha in the susceptible period is. He has never experienced it, but he thinks that at least his existence can make Lucas feel more comfortable and get better as soon as possible.
"You bastard." Lucas's eyes turned red completely, he got up and directly pressed Luo Ran, bowing his head and biting Luo Ran's glands.
It was so sudden.
"Hmm...!" Luo Ran's body trembled, and physiological tears came out of her eyes because of the pain.
Lucas was indeed much stronger than usual at the moment, and when he bit the back of Luo Ran's neck, Luo Ran had the illusion that he was about to be bitten off his neck.
The hand gripping his wrist was also so hard that the pain made his fingers go numb.
Luo Ran was lying on the bed, biting the pillow and holding back the pain, allowing Lucas to bite his neck, suppressing the subconscious movement that he wanted to resist.
It really hurts.
Behind him, Lucas bit the gland, and while injecting his own pheromone, he was frantically absorbing Luoran's pheromone.
Just like mouth and poison, he draws the only antidote that can relieve his chaotic spiritual world.
Loran cooperated with Lucas, trying to establish a spiritual connection with him.
Just like in Mecha before.
flare.
At the moment of spiritual connection, Luo Ran saw the fire all over the sky.
Just like the pictures he occasionally saw when he had hallucinations before, it seems that he occasionally completed a spiritual connection in the intimate pheromone communication with Lucas.
Loran's pheromones made Lucas more and more satisfied, and the restlessness and anger in his body became less and less. After completing the temporary marking, Lucas took a few breaths and bit Loran again. ear.
Lucas turned Luo Ran over and bit Luo Ran's lips down.
"Ran Ran..."
"Yeah." Luo Ran's hand was injured, so he couldn't move for the time being, but just raised his head slightly to cooperate.
Luo Ran's cooperation was more satisfying for the lion on his body. Luo Ran said vaguely: "Admiral... and me, make a spiritual connection."
As long as the omega is temporarily bound to the spirit, the alpha in the susceptible period can get more relief.
Lucas didn't know if he heard it or not, but he was indeed controlling his mental power, trying to combine with Luo Ran in nothingness.
The alpha portal is wide open, and the omega can easily find the way.
There was no light in the room, Lucas groped around in the dark, held Luo Ran's cheek, and pressed him to deepen the kiss.
"Um... huh..."
Luo Ran could feel that the spiritual connection was completed, and the pheromones of the two people in the air were more intense, as if they were fused together.
Perhaps it was Lucas's current confusion, and Luo Ran felt that he was also involved.
Luo Ran was shaking all over.
He saw the fire, he saw the wreckage, he saw...
Admiral Alton.
…
— xxxxx —
Seven years ago, Canyon.
"Go on! Go on!"
The tall and stalwart man drove the mecha and led the group to charge forward in the narrow canyon.
There are stone walls on both sides, and light can only be spread from a small area above.
Lucas squeezed the walkie-talkie in the mecha and shouted: "Admiral, the enemy is only 600 meters away from us!"
They got hit.
Originally, they wanted to bypass the canyon and attack the Xingkou headquarters where they had finally determined the location, but the action was detected by the Xingkou, and they were forced to this place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend... In other words, only passively withstand the attack.
There is no geographical advantage at all.
"Rush! Only rush! You can't fight here!" Alton snapped: "Rush out and win!"
Large and small artillery fire smashed down from the sky, very testing the control of mecha and aircraft.
Lucas twisted the operating bar hard, dodging the fireballs from the front and left.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on the exit of the canyon in front of them, where there is plenty of sunshine.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a meteor shower suddenly began to fall in the sky.
"Abandon the mecha!" Alton can tell at a glance - the mecha can't stand such a bombardment.
Everyone jumped off the mecha and let the mecha crawl down, blocking the people below.
boom--
The mecha was blasted to pieces, and if a person was inside, he would definitely die.
Alton roared hoarsely: "Keep rushing out!"
"The mecha is gone and has feet!"
However, at this moment, an unusual light came from overhead again.
The second wave of meteor showers is coming, bigger and more violent.
…
…
After the army arrived at the scene with Shen Xiluo, Xia Zhi and their medical team, no one could speak.
In the canyon, the remains of mechas and human limbs were scattered everywhere, and there were mountains of small corpses everywhere, and the trails in the canyon were soaked with blood.
The general stabilized his voice and emotions, and gave the order, "Search... search to see if there is any alive, put..."
"Try to stitch together the severed limbs and verify the identity."
…
"Found the Admiral and the Little Admiral...!"
A mountain of corpses in front of him pulled away the "people" whose flesh, flesh, organs and bones were fused together, and Alton could be seen.
Perhaps it was piled up by many soldiers. Although Alton was terrifying and could not see his facial features clearly, he still had breath.
In Alton's arms was his little nephew Lucas, who was guarded by him.
Except for the bloody hands that were exposed outside, Lucas didn't have too many injuries.
This is... a miracle.
When the meteor shower fell, it was a miracle that was protected by layers.
"Doctor Shen, Dr. Xia... Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"The general and the little general still have breath!"
The doctor carefully pulled the two out.
Lucas grabbed the summer solstice sleeve with his few remaining fingers.
"Doctor Xia..."
Xia Zhi looked pale, nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Admiral..."
"Well, don't worry, we will do our best to save Admiral Alton."
"Well." With the promise, Lucas seemed to have reached the limit and fainted.
…
…
Hospital.
Lucas stood outside the glass isolation mirror, Alton was lying on the hospital bed in the glass mirror, his body was covered with wounds and holes, his facial features were blurred, and he could no longer see the momentum and appearance of the past.
Lucas's hand was covered with thick bandages, and his quiet appearance formed a strong contrast to the noisy quarrel between the two doctors not far away.
"Euthanasia is the only way now." Shen Xiluo pushed the frame of his glasses and said, "This will quickly end the pain of Admiral Alton."
"Why not carry out rescue and surgery?" Xia Zhi almost collapsed, and said with red eyes: "You can try again!"
"It's not necessary, it will only prolong the pain."
"I can still try, I can really try again... I made a laboratory report, I checked it, it really can... "
"It's not necessary." Shen Xiluo said: "It's pointless to really save it."
"Why doesn't it make sense?!"
Xia Zhi couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and shouted, "Are you without feelings, are you a person without feelings!"
"Xiazhi, Doctor Xia, I warn you as your partner and immediate supervisor, please don't let your emotions affect your correct judgment."
Xia Zhi was stunned.
He just stared blankly at Shen Xiluo.
"Anyway..." Xia Zhi said in a trembling voice, "Even if I object, it won't work, right?"
"Yes."
Xia Zhi was shaking all over.
He promised Lucas.
He is a doctor.
Doctors are there to save people.
That was Alton, the admiral who had been with them day and night.
It was the boss who promoted him and protected him as a doctor on the battlefield, and was a comrade who drank with them.
Why can't you try again
"Don't be arguing." Lucas didn't know if he listened, but he said, "Easy to die."
He knew his own uncle.
Xiazhi looked at Lucas blankly.
Lucas lowered his eyes and said, "I'll do it."
…
Xia Zhi's mood collapsed, and he had lost the professional quality that a doctor should have, and was taken away by Shen Xiluo.
In the ward, Lucas stood by the bed and took the needle that Shen Xiluo handed to him.
Shen Xiluo always maintained a calm appearance, as Xia Zhi said, without the slightest emotion.
Lucas accidentally touched Shen Xiluo's hand when he took the needle.
Lucas shrank his hands subconsciously and turned his head to vomit.
He couldn't accept being touched by others.
Shen Xi fell for a moment.
He remembered the appearance of Lucas being pulled out of the sea of corpses—covered by the flesh and blood of his comrades and uncles.
The medical staff took a long time to wash it off. Even so, there was still some filth that couldn't be cleaned, and Lucas still had a strong smell on his body.
Lucas looked at Alton with the needle in his hand.
Alton noticed, raising his eyelids with difficulty.
Then, Alton grinned at Lucas.
Of course, this is more of Lucas's imagination, after all, he can only see the flesh torn.
Lucas then took Alton's hand.
Two hands were clasped together, one was bloody and the other was mutilated.
"Lucas," Alton said in a breathy voice.
Lucas bowed his head to listen, and heard something vaguely.
"pride."
"Don't fall."
-my proud.
- Don't fall, move forward.
Lucas nodded solemnly, with a "um" sound, and injected the needle into Alton's wrist.
Shen Xiluo turned around and left, leaving space for the two of them. Those who were guarding outside the ward could see that his footsteps were vain, as if he had lost his sense of direction.
The ups and downs of the ECG monitor curve eventually tended to a straight line.
Lucas stood in front of the hospital bed and gave a stern military salute.
