It has been a while since the army went to Kaslow Star to slay the alien beasts. It is not long or short. Chu Sui works in the military during the day and is busy studying the weaknesses of alien beasts at night. are sleeping.
When people are busy, they care about other things flawlessly. When they saw the video message, Chu Sui suddenly realized that Arnold had been away for a long time.
He was stunned for a second, then immediately pressed the answer button, his fingers were inexplicably stiff, and he rubbed it unconsciously.
After the communication request was accepted, a translucent blue light screen popped up in the air, and the figure of a silver-haired military female was clearly displayed on it. , when his eyes met Chu Sui, the ice ridges in his eyes melted away in an instant, leaving only warmth.
"Master..."
He uttered this long-lost title in a low voice, with an inexplicable smell.
The situation on Kaslow Star was far worse than expected. The Third Army and the Fourth Army worked together for more than ten days to clear up a safe area around the crystal mine. The evolved alien beasts are too much. Ferocious, they can only temporarily station in place without finding a weakness, otherwise it will cause too many unnecessary casualties.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Sui always felt that Arnold had lost a lot of weight. He sat on the chair, adjusted his posture unconsciously, and was about to say something when Arnold suddenly whispered: "You have lost weight. "
Have it
Chu Sui wondered if this was the opposite. He unconsciously touched his face, but he didn't feel any change. Looking back at Arnold, he saw that the background behind him was a tent temporarily used by the army: "How's your situation over there?"
A Nuo looked at his eyebrows carefully through the light screen, and suddenly there was a hint of inexplicable emotion in his heart, which was rising and empty, quite contradictory: "The task of clearing and suppressing is still in progress, but there is no big deal. You don't have to worry about it."
Chu Sui believed that he had a ghost. In his last life, the army suffered heavy losses. He scratched his hair unconsciously, thinking about how to tell the results of his research on animal skins in the afternoon. After all, it is really strange to study that kind of thing inexplicably .
Anuo is far away in Kaslow Star, saying that he is not worried that Chu Sui is fake, covering all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation: "Is the food made by housework robots still to your taste?"
Chu Sui wanted to make a banana stick in her heart. That little garbage never cooked once, so she knew every day that she would fool him with nutrient solution, so she pouted, "I can cook by myself."
Although it was not very well done, it was barely edible.
Anuo's pupils shrank slightly when he heard the words, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. After a moment of silence, he asked aloud, "Have you cooked by yourself?"
That's not what he wanted to ask.
How could Chu Sui cook by herself...
He seldom even set foot in the kitchen, his hands didn't even hold a kitchen knife, and the heaviest thing he had ever held at home was probably only chopsticks. Arnold couldn't imagine Chu Sui cooking by himself.
He didn't know that Chu Sui not only cooked at home these days, but also tossed all the controlled knives, daggers, saws, electric drills, machetes, which are heavier than chopsticks.
Chu Sui was still a little proud of learning to cook, she raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, hummed a little coldly, remembered the matter of the alien beast, and asked, "Are you stationed in Kathrow? "
When Arno heard the words, he glanced out the window without a trace, and then withdrew his gaze: "Yes, it's near the crystal mine."
Chu Sui: "Show me."
Arnold seemed to have long been accustomed to his temperament, so he heard the words and smiled, with a touch of warmth like jade, got up from his position, and walked out of the tent. Chu Sui's original intention was to see Looking at those ferocious beasts, Arnold pointed his light brain directly above, allowing him to see the entire vast night sky.
Scarlo Star is uninhabited, but no one will deny it. When standing on this land, all you can see are the Milky Way. Countless stars dot the night sky. From wide to thin, space and time are separated.
Arno walked out of the tent, a cool wind blew the corners of his clothes, the ends of his hair were a little messy, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood. He passed the salute sentries, stepping on some broken spar under his military boots Fragments, the low voice is not very clear in the wind, but with a little vague tenderness.
"The starry sky here is beautiful, I want to show you."
There was only a faint light in the study, and most of the place was plunged into darkness. The light curtain was translucent, with a bright starry sky appearing in front of him. In a trance, Chu Sui almost had the illusion that they were in the same place. .
Chu Sui looked at it for a while, then poured it into the back of the chair, and said, "It's pretty."
Not far away, there is a safety zone separated by a reinforced protective net. Countless alien beasts are wandering around the periphery. Some are laying eggs in building nests, and some are foraging. It's like humans crunching bones, and occasionally you can hear them roaring like dinosaurs.
Chu Sui finally remembered the business slowly: "Is the alien beast outside?"
Arnold nodded: "Five hundred meters away."
The Third Army and the Fourth Army worked together to suppress them for so long, but they were only able to retreat 500 meters, and the protective net was estimated to be broken in a short time.
Chu Sui thought that it was only 500 meters away. He fell asleep at night and was eaten by alien beasts without knowing it. He remembered the experiment he did in the afternoon, and still hesitated between lightning and fire: "Do you have fire?"
Arnold wondered: "Fire?"
Even if he has always been good at reading Chu Sui's mind, now he can't guess the purpose of the other party's question. The military female's physique is not afraid of cold, even if the lighting has energy lamps, strictly speaking, it will not bring unnecessary things such as fire. .
Arno thought for a while: "Yes, do you need me to do anything?"
Chu Sui thought that this female monarch was really too understanding, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Go to the safe area and show me the strange beast."
Arno naturally did as he did, even if he didn't understand what Chu Sui meant.
The protective net is still working at night. Under the blessing of sufficient energy, the dense grid glows with light-colored light. Through the gap, it is faintly visible that there are groups of alien beasts trying to break through the protective net, but they are caught by another. An invisible force was blocked outside, and it was roaring in a low voice unwillingly, lingering and refusing to leave.
Chu Sui wanted to verify his guess at this time, and he was still a little uncertain in his heart. He said to Anuo: "The alien beast may be afraid of fire, you try it."
I was just about to say this...
Anuo was stunned, and he was a little puzzled why Chu Sui said that. He took out a small energy lamp from his pocket and disassembled the casing. Chu Sui couldn't see what he was doing. The red wire was torn off with force, and the scrapped energy lamp burst out with tiny sparks.
Arnold took the shell as a kind of ignition, and when the flame ignited, he stepped back a few steps, and then threw the fireball towards the pile of alien beasts. At this moment, an amazing thing happened, when the fireball When a parabola appeared on the back of one of the alien beasts, it suddenly stretched its neck and let out a sharp whimper in its throat, and then violently shook its body to throw off the still burning energy lamp.
With just a click, the fire ball rolled to the ground, and the other beasts seemed to have seen something very terrifying. They didn't dare to try to approach again until the fireball gradually went out.
Anuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Chu Sui subconsciously.
how so…
The team that was patrolling around heard the abnormal call of the alien beast just now, and hurried over, but saw Arno standing next to the protective net, and quickly stopped to salute: "Lieutenant General, the alien beast group seems to have happened just now. riot."
Arno covered his brain with his hands, turned around and strode towards the tent, and dropped a sentence in a deep voice: "Go and inform them that an emergency meeting will be held in half an hour."
In a sense, the Zerg's thinking is still a little rigid, and it is not as flexible as humans. Researchers have been working on the study of powerful weapons of destruction, but they have never thought that the things that alien beasts are afraid of are only a small group. Just fire.
Chu Sui confirmed that his guess was correct, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This period of time was the hardest time in his salted fish career. He ran to the library for no less than a dozen times, but no one believed him when he said it. .
But as long as the research comes out, it's still worth it...
Arno returned to the tent, and then slowly released the hand covering Guangnao, and the light screen popped up again in mid-air, clearly showing Chu Sui's face.
The male was probably in a good mood, and even his sitting posture returned to his usual lazy appearance, with one knee slightly bent, his fingertips resting on it, and he tapped lightly.
Arnold looked at him quietly, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated. After a while, he finally asked hesitantly, "How did you find out?"
This lie is not easy.
But Chu Sui is not afraid, anyway, he will believe what Arnold says: "I just guess."
Arno smiled when he heard the words, and a slight smile appeared in his blue eyes. As before, he didn't ask anything, just whispered in admiration: "You are amazing."
If Chu Sui had a fox's tail, he should be up to the sky now. He supported his head with his hands. He didn't speak, but he didn't deny it. His brows were flamboyant and wanton.
This vivid and vivid appearance is rare in the Zerg.
Arno whispered: "The imperial capital has been too turbulent recently. If possible, you should stay at home and try not to go out. I will rush back to the imperial capital as soon as possible."
He heard that the female insect on the star network asked to amend the law, which was different from the excitement that Alvin couldn't hold back. Whether it was a regime change or a system reform, Arnold didn't want to involve Chu Sui, even if the male insect did not want to be involved at all. It is impossible to get out of this vortex, but at this time he is far away on the star of Kathrow, even if he wants to do something, it is beyond his reach.
and also…
"I miss you so much."
Whether it's been a long time since we've seen each other, or greetings and caring, even if something as important as the discovery of the weakness of alien beasts is, it can't change the really important content of this video call.
Across the light screen, although Chu Sui didn't want to admit it, he seemed to miss Arno a little bit. After all, it's been a long time since I saw him. He adjusted his posture on the chair, but he couldn't hear his emotions. After a snort, I don't know what to think, suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have any photos from your childhood?"
Arno was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "?"
Chu Sui repeated, "A photo from my childhood."
To be honest, he was very curious. Arnold's temperament didn't know if he was like an old-fashioned little old man when he was a child. Send me one."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that Arnold seemed to have a military meeting, and he did not continue to chat. He just reminded him before cutting off the communication: "Don't forget."
Arnold hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but the other party cut off the communication too fast, the light screen swooped back in mid-air, and the words stuck in his throat.
childhood photos...
Arnold pursed his lips unconsciously, and the tips of his white ears were suddenly stained with a little red, and he felt a little warm. After a while, he hesitated and reached out, clicked on the information database stored by Guangnao, and then one by one, rummaging through his worms Photos from the cub period.
It seems... there are not many...
Chu Sui couldn't sleep anyway. Sitting on a chair, he flipped through the thick imperial laws and regulations, and focused on the protection system for male insects. From his outsider's point of view, it was true for female insects. Too harsh.
For example, the Marriage Law stipulates that after the female worm marries the male worm, all the property will belong to the male worm, and only the female monarch can keep 20% of the property.
For another example, the male lord must kneel to greet him when he returns home, and the requirements of the male lord must be obeyed unconditionally. If the male lord is injured by an accident, his female lord and female servant must be investigated by the Male Insect Protection Association and punished accordingly. There are also some privately done, but not explicit tacit rules, males can punish their female monarchs and female servants at will, and even use them as goods in exchange, as long as they don't make trouble, the empire basically They all open one eye and close the other.
But in fact, not a few people were killed, but they were all suppressed.
Chu Sui read a few pages and didn't know what to think in his heart. His life was finally clearer than his previous life, and his life was not too confused, or perhaps his reason has been telling him clearly that this kind of social system It is deformed and incorrect, but because Chu Sui is the biggest beneficiary of this system, he selectively ignores this fact.
When Chu Sui first went to school, the teacher expanded the "Diary of a Madman" for them after class. There is a passage in it that reads: I turned to the history and checked it. This history has no chronology. The words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" were written on each page crookedly. I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically. After reading it carefully in the middle of the night, I could see from the cracks that the two words "eat people" were written all over the book.
Although separated by different time and space backgrounds, this sentence is also useful in Zerg.
Chu Sui took out a pen from the pen holder, then drew a red line on the line "All the property of the female insect belongs to its male master", made a cross, thought about it, and added five words "All the property of the female insect". Cross it out and change it to thirty percent.
Whether ancient or modern, at home and abroad, the foundation for a country to be maintained cannot be without fairness and balance.
However, the ratio of males and females of the Zerg is too disparate. Since it cannot be absolutely fair, it can only maintain the balance as much as possible.
When the catastrophe happened many years ago, the status of the male insects may not be much better than that of the female insects today. Their pheromone can not only appease the female insects, but they do not have any power to protect themselves, so that the female insects can reproduce in order to reproduce. He Xyu scrambled around to loot and plunder them, and even imprisoned them. The males died in large numbers, which almost caused the disaster of the dead.
Later, when the turmoil subsided, the coalition members who re-enacted the code in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, and also to curb the overly powerful power of the female worm, formulated a series of strict laws, but overcorrected and corrected mistakes more than it should have. It is another tragic history repeating itself.
Chu Sui suddenly felt that it was a huge project to revise this flawed imperial law. It was understandable to protect males, and it was understandable to suppress the power of females, but those laws were just for venting abuse and cultivating servility. You don't have to.
Chu Sui held the pen, twirled his fingertips flexibly, and then slapped a cross under the words "The male lord must kneel to greet him when he enters the door" and "The male worm can punish the female lord or female servant by himself".
Unless one day the number of males and females is equal, equality of rights is basically impossible, and the protection and preferential treatment of males can only be appropriately reduced within a reasonable range, while the suppression of females can be relaxed.
You must know that the spring is suppressed for too long, and the power of the rebound is amazing.
Although this book is very thick, it seems to have been read countless times by the owner from beginning to end. The pages are not very flat, and some of the corners are tilted up. Chu Sui didn't care. After reading a short paragraph, the light brain on his wrist suddenly After shaking a bit, the terminal showed that Arnold had sent two pictures.
Seeing this, Chu Sui raised her eyebrows slightly, threw the pen in her hand aside, put it lazily into the back of the chair, chose to receive the message, and then clicked on the picture, only to find that Arnold had actually sent the picture of him when he was a child.
The first picture is probably from the period of the Arnos, and he is only a little taller than Chu Sui's knees, with wet blue eyes, silver hair falling on his forehead, slightly pointed ears, delicate facial features, and a face. It looked soft and fluffy, like a milk dumpling.
what…
So fucking cute.
Chu Sui made such a sigh inexplicably. He slipped his hand and looked at the second picture. It should be Arnold's appearance when he was in elementary school or middle school. The son's appearance, his appearance is handsome, and his temperament is good, but his blue eyes are a little cold.
Chu Sui hooked his lips, and he said, Arnold must have been a big iceberg when he was a child. After all, icebergs can't be cultivated overnight. He clicked save, and his eyes were fixed on the photo of the milk dumpling for a long time. Withdrawing his gaze, he turned off the light brain.
Putting his eyes back on the law book that was thick enough to smash people to death on the table, Chu Sui's eyelids jumped uncontrollably. It was so thick that he had to see the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon go, and as expected, being a salted fish would be the most comfortable. .
Faced with such a thick book, Chu Sui picked it up and did something that most people would do. She turned the book to the last page, glanced roughly, and was about to look away, out of the corner of her eye. But suddenly I found that someone in the lower right corner had drawn a totem that resembled wings, and my pupils shrank suddenly—
Medal of Freedom? ! !
Chu Suiren was stunned. Isn't this the totem of the Freedom League? Why did it appear in this book? He read it carefully again, and finally confirmed that the decoration on it was the medal pattern worn by the Freedom Army.
An abstract human figure is located in the center of the totem, with wings spread behind him, and then half-folded in front of him, with the sun hanging over his head, symbolizing light and freedom, the new military badge established by the Liberty League when it overthrew the system in its previous life.
So the question is, why is the pattern on this book
Because the owner of the book is likely to be a member or leader of the Free Alliance.
So the question arises again, whose book is this book
Arnold's.
Chu Sui: "..."
The author has something to say: Chu Sui: the trough, the trough, the trough, the trough
Author Jun: lying trough lying trough lying trough
System gentleman: wow
