Shen Jingheng struggled for a while, and finally compromised with Chu Yu.
"Even if I don't believe you, you still insist on exploring, right?" Shen Jingheng turned around with complicated emotions, not wanting to look at Chu Yu's breathtaking eyes again.
"yes."
Complete declarative sentence.
Shen Jingheng didn't want to ask how much weight he had in Chu Yu's heart. It seems that in the face of the life and death of human beings, it seems inappropriate to mention his little love and love.
"Then is there any need for you to ask me?" Shen Jingheng smiled self-deprecatingly, and walked towards the rest cabin, "Let's do this first, I'm going to rest."
Chu Yu looked at Shen Jingheng's back, was silent for a moment, and returned to his rest cabin.
There is no distinction between day and night on the starship, as long as the lights are turned off, the entire cabin will be plunged into darkness.
Shen Jingheng tossed and turned in the sleep cabin, listening to his own clear heartbeat, unable to fall asleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the darkness of nothingness. Finally, there was a sigh from him in the darkness, and there was no more movement.
—
the next day.
When Shen Jingheng finished his rest and appeared in the cockpit, he saw the back of Chu Yu sitting upright in the driver's seat.
His heart moved, he stepped forward and hugged Chu Yu from behind, put his head on Chu Yu's shoulder, and whispered in Chu Yu's ear, "I'll go with you."
Chu Yu nodded, stretched out his hand and rubbed Shen Jingheng's hair: "Sorry for making you make such a difficult decision."
Shen Jingheng turned his head and kissed Chu Yu's earlobe lightly: "I just don't want to make myself regret...I don't want to lose you."
Chu Yu said: "Put on the jade flute, blow it when you are in danger, and I will arrive in time."
Shen Jingheng took out the jade flute from his pocket, only to find that there was a braided rope tied to the small jade flute, which could just fit around the neck.
"Then you should wear this one, and I will save you." Shen Jingheng said as he was about to put the jade flute around Chu Yu's neck.
Chu Yu didn't stop Shen Jingheng, but just looked at him calmly.
"I know, even if you are in danger, you won't blow it." Shen Jingheng gently stroked the warm jade flute with his thumb, without looking at Chu Yu, "But I still hope...you can have that once. mine."
After finishing speaking, Shen Jingheng smiled: "Let's go."
———
The two set up the route back to the mine star, and after making all preparations for landing, one sat in the driver's seat and the other sat in the co-pilot, without speaking.
The route shows that the starship is getting closer and closer to the mine star.
Just when the starship finally landed firmly on the ground, Chu Yu finally spoke.
"I've always needed you."
Shen Jingheng turned his head to look at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu had already put on all the equipment and logged into the mine star, and did not give Shen Jingheng any time to reflect.
Shen Jingheng looked at his back, put on his equipment and followed.
No matter how much words are said at this moment, it is meaningless. Now that you have made a decision, go forward bravely.
The purpose of this time was obviously different from the previous few times. In the previous two times, they avoided the bugs. This time, in order to verify whether Chu Yu could really control the bugs, the mission goal of the two was to actively find the bugs.
But something unexpected happened—
They didn't encounter a single bug this time.
It's as if the Zerg disappeared from this planet.
The two walked a long way, but still did not find a bug, not even a trace of Zerg activity.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became serious by coincidence.
"There is a problem." Shen Jingheng said, "Before the Zerg could clearly perceive that we violated their territory... They didn't come out to expel us this time."
Chu Yu closed his eyes as if he was feeling something. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's strange... I didn't feel the fluctuation of the Zerg's mental power. Could it be that my perception in the cocoon is an illusion?"
"What perception?"
"I can perceive the spiritual power around me in the cocoon... For example, I can 'see' some blue flames in my sea of consciousness. The stronger the flame, the stronger the spiritual power, and the dimmer the flame, The weaker the mental power is, the exception is the brain worm, the mental power of the brain worm is golden. And there is a golden mark in the flames of all the bugs on the mine star, I guess it should be the control of the brain worms on them."
Shen Jingheng was incredulous: "It means... all the worms on the mine star are controlled by cerebrates? The cerebrates assign all the social work by themselves?... In this way, their technology is still ahead of us?"
"It's all just speculation, it hasn't been confirmed." Chu Yu said lightly, "This may also be a way of biological development and survival, and it may be the most conducive to the survival of species... Think about it carefully, the Zerg has evolved to that kind of horror to such an extent that they can even evolve particle weapons themselves... One can imagine what kind of enemies they have faced."
"..." Faced with this speculation, Shen Jingheng could no longer imagine, "So they chose to invade our Protoss civilization?"
Chu Yu nodded: "Our galaxy must have something they need for evolution, maybe it's the galaxy environment, maybe it's the social system... In short, the most direct thing is resource plundering. Last time I confronted the brain worm, I felt that he treated me The coveting of spiritual power, to put it illusoryly, is spiritual power, and to put it scientifically, maybe there is really some energy hidden in human brain waves. And this energy...is the key to the evolution of the Zerg."
The dialogue has reached the level of scientific research, and Shen Jingheng asked: "Then... why can't there be any bugs on the mine star?"
Chu Yu said slowly: "There are two guesses." He let out a breath slowly, "First, the cerebrates can perceive us, so they conceal the spiritual power of the Zerg... are they lurking somewhere now, ready to kill us? one strike."
"What about the second guess?"
"The Zerg encountered a natural enemy, gave up the ore star, and chose to save their lives."
Both possibilities exist, and neither scenario looks rosy to them.
Chu Yu sighed: "We can only try to find out as much useful information as possible... Let's take it one step at a time. The best result is that the Zergs abandoned this star and left us with some remains for research. But Obviously that's not possible...the Zerg disappeared so cleanly, there was no trace at all."
Suddenly, a crack opened on the ground under Chu Yu's feet. Chu Yu suddenly lost his focus and stepped into the crack.
Shen Jingheng was about to step forward to support Chu Yu, but the crack under his feet suddenly opened, swallowing them together.
Shen Jingheng stepped on the ground, held Chu Yu's hand tightly, and fell down holding Chu Yu.
The strong air current made it impossible for him to open his eyes, and if they were allowed to fall like this, the two of them would definitely be smashed to pieces.
Shen Jingheng's mind turned quickly, and he summoned the mecha with remote control, and saw a black shadow swoop down from above the crack, fly under the two of them, and firmly connect them to their backs.
Shen Jingheng opened the secret door of the mecha, and the two of them drilled into the operation cabin of the mecha through the secret door. Shen Jingheng quickly activated the buffering procedure of the mecha, and then he took a deep breath, stroked his forehead, and found himself Already sweating all over.
Chu Yu on the side was also in shock, panting lightly.
"Damn it, here we go again!" Shen Jingheng hammered his thigh angrily, "We may be in the spider's den again next time."
Chu Yu remained calm and calm and said: "We should see the cerebrate again, and this time the cerebrum will not let us go easily." He quickly thought about the next plan, and said, "After landing, you first go to the machine Stay in Jiali, I will go to investigate. I have been in contact with brain worms, and it is not so easy for him to take away my mental power."
Shen Jingheng frowned: "You want to be a hero by yourself again."
Chu Yu calmly said the coldest words: "It's not a hero, it's an experiment. You need to effectively communicate the results of the experiment to the protoss, otherwise we will never win."
Shen Jingheng closed his eyes and said with difficulty after a long time: "...OK."
What Chu Yu said was the truth, but it was also the cruelest and most inhumane thing. I use myself as an experiment, just to get some useful information so that the protoss can survive in this resource-plundering aggression.
It is acceptable rationally, but it is difficult for Shen Jingheng to bear the weight of this sentence with emotion.
Life to him... is just an experiment.
His beautiful, persistent, stubborn soul...in his mouth is just an experimental product, like a butterfly in a petri dish, it is so beautiful, but it is still just cold data withered on the experimental table.
Shen Jingheng hated this feeling very much, and also hated the fate beyond his control.
He hated this era, hated the rules of the universe where the weak preyed on the strong, hated this cruel, ruthless and indifferent world.
He hated himself... for not being able to protect a loved one.
They hit the ground.
Unlike what they had imagined, this time, there was blue glowing moss under their feet.
Fluorescent dots, too beautiful to behold.
The moss lit up the entire dark cave, and only then did the two see the only trace of the Zerg left on the planet—a huge spider web.
The giant spider was gone, as if the world had suddenly evaporated, leaving only an empty spider web.
Shen Jingheng clearly remembered that this was the same spider web when he rescued Chu Yu.
But at this moment, that huge spider web was hanging between the sky and the earth, and there seemed to be another cave entrance beneath it, with a faint golden shimmer emitting from the inside out.
Chu Yu frowned slightly: "I'll go alone to see the situation, you are ready to escape at any time, contact by radio."
Shen Jingheng clenched his fists and gritted his molars: "Yes."
Chu Yu cautiously walked under the spider web, and looked into the cave with his head.
Chu Yu's faint voice came from the radio: "... run away."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Jingheng's body functions exploded to the strongest in an instant, and he immediately ran towards Chu Yu's direction with a brisk step.
— how could he escape.
The golden light from the entrance of the cave suddenly extended, engulfing Chu Yu's figure in an instant.
Shen Jingheng couldn't make it in time, he could only watch Chu Yu disappear into the golden light...
His eyes were tearing apart: "No!!!"
