The roar outside continued, and the huge noise even created a sense of chaos that was almost dead silence at this moment.
No one spoke. After all, what happened in less than a minute was so shocking that it was impossible to think.
First, the space turret bombarded without warning, then, His Majesty the Emperor, who was supposed to be on Hengyun Star, suddenly showed up to rescue, and finally chopped off the head of the fake Marshal Huo Chao.
—Beheaded!!!
"… "
Although everyone vaguely knew that it was not the real Marshal Huo Chao, the impact of this scene was still too terrifying. Not to mention, the person standing next to him and handing him the knife was the Zerg king.
For a moment no one dared to approach.
Even if according to the regulations, the emperor's guards should not leave, and Zhou Jiuya should report the military situation immediately. But no one moved, no one went over.
At this time, Pei Changyun's breathing was rapid, his pupils were dilated, his fingers were trembling, and his whole body was almost sprayed with blood. After so many years as the emperor of the empire, this was the first time he was in such an inappropriate and even somewhat embarrassing posture.
"… "
After a long time, Pei Changyun gradually calmed down his overly intense emotions. He closed his eyes, then turned and looked at Huo Xianfeng.
"Thank you very much."
After a pause, His Majesty the Emperor added,
"I'll return this knife to you after I clean it."
“No need.”
"If it's dirty, throw it away if you don't want it."
Huo Xianfeng frowned in disdain.
When a person's head is chopped off, the blood gushing out can almost splash several meters. So at this moment, even with Pei Changyun blocking in front, Huo Xianfeng was still splashed with a lot of blood. He rubbed his face with the back of his hand in disgust.
Okay, I have to go back and change into new clothes.
Pei Changyun pursed his lips and said nothing more.
"… OK."
Huo Xianfeng looked up at the white light in the sky that was gradually disappearing, and the huge roar outside also receded like the tide.
"what is that?"
"The Eye of Hero is a space turret. You can think of it as a weapon that is no less powerful than a small nuclear bomb. I saw it on Jiang Jinsheng's design drawings. It is very powerful, but it also consumes an astronomical amount of energy. After one launch, there will be a gap of six to eight hours before the next launch."
Pei Changyun gestured to him at the huge columns erected around him.
"These are nuclear defense columns, the Empire's latest technology, top-notch mobile defense weapons. The current energy is only enough to resist two such attacks."
twice
I've just used it once, which means I can only use it once more.
Huo Xianfeng nodded. He looked at the defense shield that was gradually becoming thinner and disappearing, and said,
"Then it seems we have to retreat to Mingcheng temporarily."
"retreat?"
Pei Changyun frowned. It was obvious that the church had lost a large number of troops in this battle, and now they should take advantage of the victory and capture the Holy Relic White Tower in one fell swoop.
"The Holy White Tower has disappeared."
Huo Xianfeng glanced at him and immediately guessed what Pei Changyun was thinking.
"After I got the exact location, I sent a small troop to keep an eye on it. However, the outer defense barrier of the Holy White Tower was always open and we couldn't get in. And when the Eye of Hero launched the attack just now, that thing disappeared."
"… "
Damn, it's too late.
Pei Changyun closed his eyes and turned to look at Zhou Jiuya who was walking towards him, followed by Jiang Ci.
However, Zhou Jiuya still had someone under his control.
—Cecilia.
He scanned the mechanical lock on the woman's wrist for a few seconds, confirming her status as a captive.
"It's been such a long time since we last met, Pei Changyun. Your mecha piloting skills are still as bad as ever."
The woman was smiling, without any of the embarrassment that a captive should have.
"It's been so long since we last met, and now you've become my prisoner."
Pei Changyun said something back, but he was in no mood to continue talking to her, so he turned around and looked at Zhou Jiuya.
“…Clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to Mingcheng.”
"yes."
At this moment, a group of moving stars suddenly lit up in the night sky. When the people around him suddenly became nervous, Huo Xianfeng looked up as if he had sensed something.
"Don't panic, it's the Zerg transport unit."
There are many branches of low-level Zerg, including stinger scouts smaller than a fist and transports as big as aircraft carriers. The Zerg army can march in space, mostly relying on these transports.
Jiang Ci looked at him in surprise.
"Transporting what?"
Huo Xianfeng actually didn’t know, because this transport force was not here because of his orders.
"We'll know soon enough."
Because the next second, a monster that looked like a giant whale swam down from the sky. The insect armor on its abdomen opened up, and Nora jumped down holding Dr. Wen.
This time there was no resistance, it was a gentle princess hug.
The petite girl was seen holding a 300-year-old man in her arms as she jumped from a height of several dozen meters and landed as handsomely as a superhero.
At this moment, Pei Changyun and Zhou Jiuya both felt that they were under a huge visual impact. No, both the soldiers of the First Legion who were cleaning up the battlefield in the distance and the Emperor's Guards who were deeply cared for by Doctor Wen felt that they were under a huge visual impact.
boom!
The two people fell down with a loud bang, and dust and fog rose up.
Then, Nora held the man and rushed through the smoke, sprinting a hundred meters towards Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci, as if she was holding not a person but a huge baton, and the next person to take over was Jiang Ci.
However, at this moment, Jiang Ci not only didn't want to answer it, he also suddenly had a strong desire to escape.
Huo Xianfeng frowned.
"Nora!"
Zi-
At this moment, the girl who had stopped at high speed actually made a brake sound for a moment. She knelt on one knee and raised Doctor Wen in her hand, as if she was offering a treasure.
"king!"
Dr. Wen looked as if he had died at this moment.
Huo Xianfeng: "...put him down quickly."
"oh."
Nora obediently put the man on the ground.
And laid it flat with care.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Xubai's face. When the man lying on the ground looked up at the sky, he could clearly see the strange expressions of a group of people who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Especially when His Majesty the Emperor had a bloody face and was staring at him expressionlessly like a Shura.
Not to mention, the man was holding a knife in his hand, and the dripping blood hit his face.
"Wen Xubai you...?"
“… I’m fine!”
Doctor Wen immediately stood up with one breath.
"Just a little dizzy... dizzy."
Pei Changyun: “…”
It’s a very special explanation, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem.
At this time, the transport bugs behind came one after another, carrying a batch of mechanical parts. Jiang Ci took a glance and instantly recognized that they were parts of a small temporary medical cabin.
Jiang Ci: “…?!!”
Huo Xianfeng also saw it. He glanced at Nora and asked,
"what happened?"
"He said, Huahua, Xiaoqiu, is in danger."
Nora gestured as she spoke. She first made a ball on her belly, then did a one-handed lifting gesture, then seemed to feel something was wrong, so she changed to a princess hug posture, and finally lifted it up.
"I'll give #%￥%..."
The second half of the sentence means that it was delivered urgently.
But even if the second half of the sentence was not correct, because her actions were very vivid, it seemed that you could understand what she meant without having to listen.
Doctor Wen, who originally wanted to keep Jiang Ci's secret, said: "..."
After Jiang Ci left, Dr. Wen thought about it again and again, and always felt that it was too dangerous for Jiang Ci to take the metal ball to the battlefield. If he got injured, the metal ball would break in his body, which would be no joke. So he was worried and decided to come and take a look. Anyway, he was also a military doctor at the beginning, and he was used to the battlefield.
But unexpectedly, when Noila heard that Jiang Ci might be in danger, her expression immediately became serious.
[I'll take you there!]
She emphasized at the time with a solemn oath,
[soon!]
It’s very fast indeed.
Dr. Wen was first carried and then embraced, and took the Zerg Express, arriving in a few hours.
But how could such a secret matter be said in public? Originally, Wen Xubai came to the battlefield to guard, and then persuaded her privately. But the little girl opened her mouth and spoke. Doctor Wen just stretched out his hand to stop her, but he was a step too slow.
This little girl is not very good at speaking, but her hands are so quick that she finished all the gestures in no time.
"What little ball, what danger?"
Huo Xianfeng frowned.
"Didn't you say before that the situation was okay?"
Why did Dr. Wen follow us here
"… "
Jiang Ci instantly received several concerned gazes from Yu, Xi, Du, Jia, and Shuang, even including Cecilia who was sneering at her just now.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Doctor Wen quickly helped to cover it up.
"I just accidentally swallowed a small metal ball. Just take it out."
"…?"
Swallowed a metal ball
The next second, Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci simultaneously received disapproving and strange looks from everyone.
"?"
No, wait.
Huo Xianfeng felt that the direction of things was a bit strange. At least he thought Jiang Ci would not swallow a metal ball. He turned his head to look at Jiang Ci, his eyes stayed on his nervous expression for a few seconds, then moved down to his abdomen. The military uniform was as smooth as usual. Nothing else could be seen.
His brows tightened. The next second, the long black tail stretched out and circled around Jiang Ci's waist, and the red receptor at the tip of the tail pressed against the omega's lower abdomen. The tip of the tail is the most sensitive and strongest part of the king insect's body.
Pei Changyun noticed that special spot, which was not the stomach, but the reproductive cavity of the omega. His mind buzzed, and before he got the answer, an incredible guess emerged from his mind.
After a few long minutes, Huo Xianfeng gradually became aware of the subtle movement.
Boom…
Boom…
It was a subtle, tender heartbeat, transmitted through a thin layer of soft eggshell and received by the sensor. At the same time, a tiny light spot slowly lit up in the Zerg's mental network.
Huo Xianfeng was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at the nervous Dr. Wen.
"No need to take it."
"ah?"
His tone was so calm that no one reacted at that moment, not even Jiang Ci.
"… "
But, insect eggs
What's the meaning
The humans who were born alive had no way to understand it for a while, because their understanding and cognition of the Zerg still remained at the level of huge and strange alien creatures. As for people like Huo Xianfeng, apart from his extremely abnormal fighting power, he seemed to be not much different from humans.
Wen Xubai, who had been practicing medicine for three hundred years, reacted immediately. He glanced between Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci in shock for a few seconds, and finally stopped at Huo Xianfeng.
"You... you Zerg are..."
Huo Xianfeng nodded. At this moment, all expressions seemed to disappear from his face, and even his voice was almost silent.
"The lower Zerg lay eggs, we lay eggs."
"… oh."
Doctor Wen's eyes were dazed, and a new world had opened up. Then he couldn't help asking,
“No… no reproductive isolation?”
Huo Xianfeng's answer is -
"It turns out that I am very strong."
So there is no.
Wen Xubai: “…”
He actually said this in a declarative tone? ! !
Such words? ! !
How can you be so unprofessional when it comes to genetics!!!
But Dr. Wen couldn't continue, he felt that his professional knowledge needed to be expanded.
"etc!"
Zhou Jiuya suddenly spoke in a high-pitched voice. His expression looked very strange at this moment, as if he was angry, shocked, and mixed with some fear.
The world inside the legion commander's head seemed to have just experienced a huge nuclear explosion. His once steady figure, like a mountain, was now shaking like an earth-shattering mountain and on the verge of collapse.
"You, you mean... our Ah Ci...?"
Wanjiang really wanted to remind the legion commander to calm down, but it was obvious that his master's rationality had completely collapsed. After all, no matter what the situation was, Zhou Jiuya would never call Jiang Ci "Aci" in front of her.
This introverted old man would only sneak around in the room and call the child "Aci" when the child was one or two years old and could not remember anything. However, his fierce and slightly perverted look would, as expected, scare the child to tears every time.
All in all, the Legion Commander is a person who is naturally disliked by omegas.
"You mean he ..."
Huo Xianfeng nodded, as if he was saying something that was a matter of course and an ordinary fact.
"Yeah, it's pregnant, mine."
"… "
This fact was such a huge shock that Zhou Jiuya was a little unsteady and even wanted to hold on to something, so he subconsciously raised his hand and happened to grab Cecilia's head.
In order to fight, Cecilia did not wear high heels this time. Among a group of tall men, her height of 1.6 meters was not enough to stand out, not to mention that she was standing in a collapsed pit.
So at this moment, the tall and strong alpha Zhou Jiuya pressed her head, as if she was leaning on a crutch.
But Cecilia didn't care, because her expression at that moment was in sync with Zhou Jiuya's. If her hands weren't cuffed by mechanical wrist locks, she would have wanted to hold on to something. The force from Zhou Jiuya just allowed her to stand firm.
In a way, they support each other.
Cecilia struggled to comprehend the facts of the moment.
Jiang Ci is pregnant. No, she is pregnant with an egg.
The baby she pitied was pregnant with an egg.
"… "
This impact was no less than when Bai Min excitedly ran over to her and said,
[Leah! I… I have a baby!!!]
Cecilia's first reaction at the time was that her world had collapsed just like that
Her beautiful jade cabbage was taken away by a pig like this
Her goddess was in love and pregnant.
Her house collapsed.
At this moment, Cheng Yue and Mo Yu's voices sighed synchronously in her mind.
"Leah, you have to be strong."
"Leah, you have to hold on."
"… "
Pei Changyun was stunned for a long time, but his reaction was not as big as Zhou Jiuya's. He just kept silent for a moment and said,
"Congratulations."
After thinking for a while, His Majesty the Emperor searched his body for a long time and found a peculiarly shaped metal spoon. He handed it to Huo Xianfeng.
"There is a newly built detection space station. This is the controller of the central system. Consider it a gift."
"Thank you very much."
Huo Xianfeng took it, put it in Jiang Ci's hand, and turned to look at Zhou Jiuya.
So at this moment, the pressure was placed on the legion commander.
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
He also started to touch it.
But what good things can a straight male legion commander have? He has spent most of his life fighting, and all the spoils he captured were confiscated. He also did not inherit any Jiang family property, so after rummaging for a long time, he could only take out his salary card and hand it over.
"… Congratulations."
Huo Xianfeng accepted it without hesitation, and then handed it to Jiang Ci. In fact, Jiang Ci wanted to stop it at this moment, but it seemed that nothing he said would be appropriate. He even suddenly discovered that Cecilia was also pinching her fingers nervously.
It seemed that if she wasn't restrained by the mechanical wrist lock, she would also want to touch something.
But at this time Zhou Jiuya had already helped take out the confiscated Chengyue and handed it over.
"This is your mother's mecha."
"… good."
Dr. Wen brought all kinds of medical instruments, so he could only send a small medical robot. As for Nora, she took out colorful metal blocks.
In short, when Jiang Ci returned to Bai Ze's cockpit for the return flight, he was holding a bunch of things. He didn't even react until he sat in the driving seat.
Xiao X was so excited that he was running around everywhere, so Jiang Ci locked him up in the lounge next door. Nora was also there.
At this time, Jiang Ci turned his head and looked at Huo Xianfeng who was sitting upright in the passenger seat. He stared at him for a few minutes and found that this guy seemed very calm and very, very cool.
But Jiang Ci hadn't recovered yet, he couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Huo Xianfeng..."
"Um."
"Am I really pregnant?"
"yes."
Huo Xianfeng's expression was very solemn.
Jiang Ci felt that this was very unreal, because he had no feelings at all, and even the previous fight was a very satisfying one, the more he fought, the more excited he felt. Isn't it said that omegas will be weak after getting pregnant
This is too weird.
And he didn't have any of the reactions Nora mentioned.
"How did you confirm that?"
"There are heartbeats and stars."
"… What's the meaning?"
Jiang Ci could probably understand the first half of the sentence, "There is a heartbeat, but there are stars..." He wanted to ask something else, but seeing Huo Xianfeng still sitting upright, not even looking away, not even turning to look at him. Jiang Ci didn't know why, but he suddenly felt unhappy.
"Huo Xianfeng! Turn around!"
"… good."
He turned around obediently.
Jiang Ci felt that the other person's state was very strange. She couldn't tell what was strange, but she just felt that the whole person was very dull. At least Huo Xianfeng, who always leaned lazily on the back of the chair, would never sit so upright.
Jiang Ci turned on the autopilot, walked over, and reached out to touch Huo Xianfeng's face. He found that his face was very hot, no, not just his face, Jiang Ci quickly touched his neck, chest, and hands, all of which were very hot.
"Do you have a fever?"
Do Zerg also have fever
Jiang Ci was very confused. He lifted the hem of Huo Xianfeng's clothes and found the tail curled up at his side. He discovered that the tail was even hotter, and the tip of the tail was trembling slightly, so red that it was almost bleeding.
"Huo Xianfeng?"
"… Um."
Jiang Ci quickly noticed something was wrong. The last time something was wrong was when Huo Xianfeng fell into a coma. He immediately became nervous.
"Huo Xianfeng, why are you..."
Before he finished speaking, the long tail instantly wrapped around his waist, and Jiang Ci was suddenly pushed forward gently, and then he was hugged. Huo Xianfeng was sitting and Jiang Ci was standing, so the hugging posture just made Huo Xianfeng's face stick to his abdomen.
"No fever."
He spoke slowly, but his voice was a little muffled due to his posture.
"I just feel a little dizzy."
"… A little dizzy?"
Jiang Ci was stunned.
He reached out to touch the hair on Huo Xianfeng's head. The hair was still very hard, but it seemed soft. Jiang Ci finally realized that from the moment Huo Xianfeng knew he was pregnant to now, she was not calm, but confused and at a loss.
Compared to Jiang Ci, who was nervous and excited, and felt unreal, but could still think, Huo Xianfeng's brain was completely shut down. Jiang Ci reached out to hold the other's hot face, and asked Huo Xianfeng to look up at him.
At this time, Wang was confused, just like he had drunk fake wine, and he allowed himself to be manipulated, which was particularly cute. Jiang Ci's mouth curled up unconsciously, and then she rubbed his face.
"Wake up Huo Xianfeng, you are going to be a father... you are a worm."
"… Um."
Huo Xianfeng blinked slowly.
"I'm awake."
He felt numb all over, but he also felt as if he had endless strength. Even if the Holy White Tower hadn't suddenly disappeared, Huo Xianfeng felt that he could immediately knock that thing down and give it to their little egg to play with.
"Then why are you so hot? Excited?"
"Not at all… "
Jiang Ci pushed him back a little, then took the initiative to sit on his lap and hug him.
"Why is that?"
This is actually very strange, because generally speaking in human society, an omega will react strongly to pregnancy and quickly become weak, but as for the corresponding alpha, apart from having a strong desire to protect her, there is no other reaction.
But the two of them seemed different. Jiang Ci felt that she was pregnant, so why was Huo Xianfeng's reaction even bigger
"Any other reasons?"
"… "
Huo Xianfeng was silent for a few seconds and replied,
"Because my courtship period is over."
This change in menstrual period is the main reason why Huo Xianfeng's whole body is hot.
And the courtship period is not over yet, he has quickly entered the next stage.
It's time to start hatching the eggs.
