After Huo Xianfeng left, Zhou Jiuya also went to see Ye Shu.
"After all the chaos is officially cleared up, the infrastructure department will send people to Tiandong Star to arrange planning and construction to rebuild the underground city. At the same time, a new governor will come to carry out comprehensive political and legal construction."
This is a very large project, and after all, it is not something the military should do. Zhou Jiuya plans to leave one-third of the army to garrison Tiandong Star and wait for the Political Department to send someone over.
"Regarding the issue of whether the survivors should stay or go, the current general plan is that criminals will be imprisoned, and innocent civilians will be arranged to settle down in batches after passing various levels of screening. Children under the age of twelve will undergo the first screening, and those who pass will be taken back to the capital planet and placed in an orphanage..."
Ye Shu listened in silence, and after a long while he raised his head coldly.
"Why are you telling me this?"
At this time, his emotions had calmed down. The Forbidden Abyss was no longer there, and the underground city was of little significance to Ye Shu. Zhou Jiuya was silent for a moment, then spoke softly,
"Ye Shu, do you remember what the world was like before you met Huo Chao?"
As an eyewitness to that dark period, Ye Shu was deeply impressed.
Gangs, the military and businessmen are colluding everywhere, the law is ineffective, and the lives of ordinary people are worthless.
"… Ah,"
Ye Shu smiled coldly.
"Are you trying to brainwash me? You're saying Pei Changyun is the savior and the Empire is a beautiful new world in the future?"
"… The imperial dictatorship was something that had to be done at that time. You also know that under the specific circumstances at that time, the church and we were both defeated and neither could do anything to the other. It would be meaningless to build a new alliance parliament."
Zhou Jiuya paused for a moment before speaking.
"Although the Empire is not a completely wonderful new world, Ye Shu, you have ruled Tiandong Star for more than two hundred years. Have you really seen what the people here look like and how they struggle to survive?"
"Have you really seen the development of the empire and the current state of people's lives, and then hated and denied the present from the bottom of your heart?"
"You keep cursing the empire's parasites and the nobles for being trash, but which shady deal on Tiandong Star wasn't conducted with them?"
"… "
Zhou Jiuya closed his eyes and sighed.
"Ye Shu, you only think about Huo Chao and the past,"
"But have you ever really thought about why all our efforts, including Huo Chao's sacrifice, were for..."
"… "
The whole room fell into a cold stalemate. After a long while, Ye Shu's hoarse voice slowly sounded,
"Zhou Jiuya, you've followed Pei Changyun for so long, your ability to talk has really improved a lot."
"… "
Thus, the conversation between Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu once again ended in a bad mood.
Wow!
The silver-haired alpha walked out of the door, and adjutant Li Ya was waiting at the door.
The guards on both sides stood at attention: "Commander!"
"Um."
Zhou Jiuya was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned back and said in a deep voice,
"Pay close attention and report any unusual movements to me immediately."
"yes!"
“…if you notice anything wrong with him…if he’s not feeling well, call a doctor immediately.”
"yes!"
It was already late at night, but Zhou Jiuya still returned to the office as he still had a lot of things to deal with.
In fact, it is not a difficult task to capture Tiandong Star.
How to smoothly take over Tiandong Star is the real difficulty. After all, when Ye Shu started to build Tiandong Star, the empire had not yet been established. This planet has been operating in chaos and darkness with a deformed rule for more than two hundred years.
There is more than just one city rooted underground on this planet, and there are countless chains of interests secretly involved.
Everything can be traded here, including antiques, people, weapons, intelligence, rare protected plants and animals, biological samples left on Earth, and precious luxury goods...
But the only thing that is forbidden is the rose.
Because this involves a scar in the city lord's heart that will never heal. This is basically consistent with the investigation and results reported by Old Snake and Zhou Jiuya.
There had never been a Zhimei flower in Tiandongxing's past trading history, and there was no Zhimei flower on the list of auction items. But why did it suddenly appear in the auction house this time
And Jiang Ci also got the time and place accurately
There is only one answer, that is, the person who put the Zhimei flower into the auction house has a close relationship with the person who told Jiang Ci the news.
In fact, it is already obvious who the latter is.
"Continue investigating and check all the people Jiang Ci had contact with in the past three months."
Zhou Jiuya pondered for a moment and tapped the table lightly with his finger bones.
"The focus... is on He Zhun."
Hearing the name, the adjutant showed a slight surprise, but still responded in a low voice.
"yes."
Zhou Jiuya pinched his brows.
"What's the situation over at Jiang Ci now?"
"Preliminary treatment has been carried out and he is currently in good condition. However, I'd like to ask Dr. Wen to report to you on the specific situation. He is on his way here."
"OK."
A few minutes later, Zhou Jiuya met Dr. Wen.
"Commander, I am here to report to you on the situation of Major General Jiang Ci."
"Well, go ahead."
"There is a small amount of Zhimei flower juice extract in the major general's body."
Zhou Jiuya's pupils suddenly tightened, but fortunately, the doctor waved his hand the next second.
"Don't worry. In fact, research shows that Zhimei flowers have no toxic effects on humans. On the contrary, they have a certain effect of healing nerve damage and warming the spirit."
If this plant did not have a strong attraction to the Zerg, it would probably now be just an ordinary ornamental flower plant with slight medicinal effects.
The legion commander breathed a sigh of relief silently, but his face still had a solemn look.
"So... what's going on with that false pregnancy phenomenon?"
"—it's progesterone."
The doctor showed a slight admiration on his face.
"But this is not an ordinary progesterone. It has been modified and corrected to a certain extent. In theory, it can put the omega in a state where it does not show symptoms of pregnancy, but makes the body mistakenly think it is pregnant."
"… What?"
Zhou Jiuya didn’t quite understand.
Dr. Wen explained,
"In other words, this is a new type of inhibitor, but it perfectly avoids the harm that conventional inhibitors bring to the omega's body. It just seems to be not very perfect at the moment, so it may have side effects, which is the false pregnancy symptoms shown by the major general."
At this point, he couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation.
“It’s a genius to invent something like this.”
You know, since the invention of inhibitors, omegas have truly gained a little sexual autonomy in a certain sense. Once this kind of drug is promoted, it will definitely cause an uproar.
But Zhou Jiuya was too weak to think about this now, and just told his adjutant,
"Li Ya, compile this into a top-secret report and give it to me... Also, how is Jiang Ci doing?"
"Fortunately, after the initial treatment, there is nothing serious. Although the Zhimei flower extract is currently harmless, 40% has been excreted for the sake of caution, and the progesterone that caused the side effects of the mutation has now been completely excreted."
Although one crisis after another comes, fortunately, the current situation is not too bad.
But the next second, Zhou Jiuya heard Dr. Wen say
"However, Major General, your current situation may require you to... stay with the alpha for the time being and receive pheromone soothing."
"… "
The adjutant carefully observed the legion commander's expression, and the latter immediately glanced at him.
"Where are the people?"
"Just now... I received a message that the other party's name and fingerprint information have been entered into the security system of the major general's room."
The hidden meaning of this sentence is that two people have slept in the same room.
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
"Then let him go. I have no right to control his private life!"
Damn it, I don’t want this cabbage!
·
At the same time, Jiang Ci was indeed staying in the same room with Huo Xianfeng. One was sitting upright in a chair in front of the desk, reading the battle report, while the other was lazily leaning on the sofa, eating fruit.
Yes, fruit.
Although the Earth became a dead planet, humans took away the genetic seed bank of all living things when they evacuated, but breeding became very difficult.
However, as a precious omega, Jiang Ci has a certain quota of fruits and vegetables every month. This is stipulated by the imperial law, and even if Jiang Ci does not want to be special, he cannot refuse.
Huo Xianfeng was not polite at all. He took an apple and started eating it.
"Well, is there any wine?"
Jiang Ci paused and said coldly,
"Alcohol is prohibited in the military."
"… oh."
Then the room fell into silence again.
Huo Xianfeng slowly finished the fruit on the plate, not leaving any. He stood up and stretched, then turned around to see Jiang Ci still sitting at the desk.
The major general was dressed in a black military uniform, with a straight back, a narrow waist, and a tight-fitting uniform that outlined neat and beautiful lines, giving off a full sense of abstinence.
However, she still looks good in cheongsam.
Huo Xianfeng thought leisurely while searching for his pajamas in the closet. He had thought that the pajamas belonged to someone else, so the clothes he took out were all unopened training clothes.
But... sleeping in training clothes is not very comfortable.
"Jiang Ci, when are you leaving? I need to take a shower."
"… "
The silver-haired major general's back stiffened, and after a long silence, he said in a hard voice,
"This is my room."
Huo Xianfeng was stunned and turned his head.
"Didn't you say that there were other warships with your room?"
"… in maintenance."
Huo Xianfeng pondered for a moment, suppressed his laughter, and asked seriously,
"Then I'll leave?"
"… "
Jiang Ci stood up suddenly, walked to the bed, rolled up the quilt, and threw it on the floor.
"You, sleep here!"
"… ah?"
Jiang Ci finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Huo Xianfeng, if you hadn't said in front of so many people... that you were confirming the rumors..."
After all, no AO who has confirmed their relationship and has been marked would sleep in separate rooms. In addition, the progesterone had just been discharged, and the pheromones in Jiang Ci's body were a little disordered, so he had to stay with the alpha who marked him.
Yes, that's right, progesterone.
—He Zhun did lie to him.
But Jiang Ci did not have the urge to question him. He was still looking for more evidence. The feeling of being deceived by the person he trusted the most was terrible. The silver-haired major general closed his eyes and said in a cold voice,
"In short, in order to supervise you in repairing the Forbidden Abyss, cooperate with this fake show, and abide by the 10 million deal... During this period of time... you will sleep on the floor!"
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyes, his gaze lingering on Jiang Ci's slightly depressed and angry expression for a moment, without saying anything to refuse.
"… also."
He turned around and took out a set of black pajamas from the closet, and prepared to go to the bathroom naturally. As expected, he was stopped by the angry Major General three seconds later.
"... Huo Xianfeng, those are my clothes!"
"yes,"
Huo Xianfeng nodded and said as a matter of course,
"Didn't you borrow mine before?"
“…???”
Jiang Ci didn't choke this time. He reacted quickly.
“I paid for that!”
At this point, he seemed to have finally caught Huo Xianfeng with something, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
"You can wear it if you want, 10 million!"
Huo Xianfeng: “…”
He couldn't help laughing in his heart. This was really something. He had learned it very well.
But Jiang Ci's joy did not last long, because the next second, Huo Xianfeng threw the pajamas to him.
"It's too expensive. I can't afford to wear your rich people's clothes."
He shook his head and sighed, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
"Then I'd better come out naked after I finish showering."
Jiang Ci was shocked: "...???"
He had never seen such a shameless alpha! ! !
A few seconds later,
Wow!
Huo Xianfeng didn't even turn his head, he raised his hand and grabbed the pajamas thrown to him from behind. Then he hooked it over his shoulders.
"As expected, the Major General is very broad-minded. Thank you~"
“—Shameless!”
"I heard that shameless people live long,"
The boy turned around and winked at Jiang Ci.
"Thank you for the blessing, I hope you live long too."
Jiang Ci: “…”
whoosh!
The next second, Huo Xianfeng was quick to close the door, just in time to block a pen holder that was shooting towards him like a missile.
Snapped!
The pen holder broke into pieces.
In the bathroom, Huo Xianfeng hung up his pajamas and turned on the shower. The sound of splashing water suddenly rang out in the room.
However, at this time, he did not immediately take off his clothes and start taking a shower. Instead, he stretched out his hand, put his palm against the wall, and released a huge amount of mental power silently, passing through the huge ship and going deep into the underground.
In the deep darkness, spots of light like stars suddenly appeared.
—This is the Zerg’s mental network.
When they drove away with the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss, Huo Xianfeng had already ordered the larvae to evacuate. Therefore, what the First Legion found along the smelter underground in the desert was only an empty and abandoned insect nest and a reactor that had been drained of clean energy.
[king!]
[king!!!]
[… ]
The moment the connection was completed, the excited voices of countless larvae suddenly rang in Huo Xianfeng's mind. They chirped as if they had encountered some great joy.
This is very different from the adult insects on Earth.
At that time, the number of Zerg on Earth was almost a hundred times that of these larvae, but in the end only Osa dared to talk to Huo Xianfeng, and he was very cautious.
But this group of larvae almost made him die.
It felt a lot like that extremely popular kindergarten teacher.
[Okay, okay, be quiet.]
Huo Xianfeng did not intend to let Ye Shu follow Zhou Jiuya back to the capital star, because the identity of the dungeon lord was too sensitive. Even if Pei Changyun and Zhou Jiuya remembered their past friendship and were forced by politics to not harm him, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be placed under house arrest for a period of time.
It would be better to let Ye Shu do something else. Although Tiandongxing's military strength is not as strong as the empire, the city lord still has some foundation after being entrenched for so many years.
Ye Shu is not a greedy and cold-blooded person. His weaknesses and desires are obvious. In addition, their goals are the same. This is why Huo Xianfeng wants to cooperate with him.
The whole plan was simple. He would use the Zerg and Ye Shu's remaining forces to create chaos to divert Zhou Jiuya's attention, and then help Ye Shu escape when the opportunity arises.
However, before the plan was implemented, changes occurred.
[The man in white.]
[Several people in white clothes...]
[Do you want to arrest him?]
[Catch it, catch it, and present it to the king!]
[But didn’t the king refuse last time?]
[Yes, King, don’t do that.]
[… ]
Huo Xianfeng's expression froze.
White clothes... Church people?!
at the same time-
Hundreds of meters away from where the warships were resting.
The ground was still a ruin, and the cold night wind blew past.
"… Is it really Huo Chao?"
A believer in a white robe turned on the computer, and on the light blue screen was the scene of the fight between Jin Yuan and Cruzi.
"It shouldn't be. He died a long time ago. When the nuclear explosion ended, we immediately sent a detection team to confirm that there was no sign of life. Besides, this forbidden abyss is just a wreckage. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Does that idiot Cruzi really think he got the position of archbishop by his own ability? He is just a pawn and a scapegoat."
Speaking of this, several white-robed believers around him sneered.
"However, according to the last footage Cruzi sent back, the core of the Forbidden Abyss should be in Jiang Ci's hands."
"…Jiang Ci?"
The appearance of this name caused a brief silence, and after a while someone said coldly,
"Jiang Jin's son is an Omega. He is said to have a very fierce temper. I wonder what he tastes like..."
As soon as these words came out, several meaningless laughs were heard from all around.
"Why don't you catch it and try it to know?"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The low and hoarse laughter was drowned in the chaotic wind. The surface of the white robes showed a slight electric current. In the blink of an eye, the figures of several people disappeared into the night.
Twenty minutes later—
Click.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped and the door was opened from the inside.
Jiang Ci sat at his desk, his back suddenly stiffened. He closed the page on his laptop that read "What to pay attention to when living with an alpha for the first time", closed his eyes, prepared himself mentally, and then turned back stiffly.
But surprisingly, Jiang Ci did not see any so-called picture of a male model coming out of the bath, or the temptation of wet hair, or water drops sliding from the chin to the Adam's apple and sinking into the collarbone... and so on, there was no such picture.
Huo Xianfeng was wearing pajamas, neatly dressed, and even had his hair blown dry before coming out. Although the pajamas were not exaggerated to the point of being tied to the top of the collar, they were only loosened at one point, making him look casual and homely.
The hair that had been a little frivolous had just been washed and blown dry, and now lay obediently and softly on the forehead, making the handsome face, which was already young, look even younger.
It's probably like going from eighteen or nineteen to seventeen or eighteen.
If he were in the capital planet, he would probably still be a child worrying about how to get into military school every day.
Oh no, for Huo Xianfeng, applying to a military academy should be a very simple thing.
The feeling that the opponent was too small and suppressed him tightly made Jiang Ci feel strange and nervous.
No, wait, why did he feel that Huo Xianfeng looked a little familiar
Noticing the omega's increasingly scorching gaze, Huo Xianfeng paused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
He subconsciously pulled up his bangs in front of his forehead, and the strange sense of childishness just now disappeared instantly.
But because he was wearing Jiang Ci's pajamas, they were not particularly fit and were a little small. When he raised his hands, the outline of his chest and abdominal muscles would be faintly visible.
The silver-haired major general subconsciously looked away, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked,
"Huo Xianfeng... How old are you this year?"
The young man thought about it and said hesitantly,
"Should be, almost... two months?"
Jiang Ci: “…Get lost.”
Tsk.
Huo Xianfeng shook his head and sighed—
"These days, it's so hard to be a person who tells the truth."
Tuk Tuk—
At this time, there was a knock on the door and Jiang Ci got up to open it.
It was Doctor Wen who came.
Jiang Ci often went to the palace to play when she was a child, so Dr. Wen was also a familiar elder.
"Major General Jiang Ci, I forgot to take your medicine."
"Thank you for the trip."
Jiang Ci took the medicine and thanked politely.
Doctor Wen looked at him with a smile, his eyes were very kind.
"Fortunately, Ah Ci has found an alpha that he likes. Although we haven't filed a marriage report yet, let's just treat it as an early and enjoyable honeymoon vacation."
Huo Xianfeng popped up from behind.
"Hmm? What holiday?"
Jiang Ci: "…"
Holy fucking honeymoon!!!
