Tsk, omegas’ minds are so hard to understand.
—Huo Xianfeng sighed in his heart.
"it's okay no problem,"
Fortunately, Xiao Liu came to mediate the fight.
"It's fine once you climb up. It won't affect anything."
He sighed softly,
"If I had known that you two were afraid of heights, I would have climbed up alone to get the medicine." The duo who had been flying in a mecha not long ago: "… "
However, this episode ended here. Jiang Ci only showed his emotions for a moment and soon calmed down.
Let’s get back to the topic.
After receiving the concentrate, the man began to explain the specific operation process to them. All the sealed barrels here have a small electronic screen outside, which clearly displays dense information, such as date, quantity, and erythropoietin concentration...
But most of the rest were data that they couldn't understand.
"In short, you don't need to look at anything else but the concentration. If it's less than 30%, you need to inject it until the above data reaches..."
"—why add this?"
The boy's sudden words startled Xiao Liu. He paused for two seconds and smiled strangely and silently.
"Don't ask why. Just follow the orders from above and add more."
"… "
Huo Xianfeng's eyes darkened, but soon he showed an uneasy look:
"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, I asked too many questions."
"fine."
The man patted his shoulder.
"Hurry up and get to work. We've already passed the security check and are about to enter the factory. We have to finish it before the goods are unloaded, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what happened next? He suddenly stopped making any sound, just picked up the potion and started working. His movements were very skillful and smooth, and it was obvious that he was a veteran.
Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci looked at each other and started working. However, they tacitly kept a little distance from each other and fixed their eyes on the silver ring on the boy's wrist.
Xiao X whispered, "There is no relevant information about Zhimeihua in my database, so I can't conduct a specific analysis."
These words were transmitted directly to Jiang Ci's auditory system through the biochip, so the latter looked at Huo Xianfeng and shook his head slightly.
"… "
If Xiao X can't do it, then Bai Ze, as a combat mecha, is even worse.
Jiang Ci's expression was slightly gloomy. He stared at the electronic screen. The dense series of biochemical terms on it made him suddenly think of someone at this moment.
Huo Xianfeng noticed his expression and suddenly asked:
"-what's on your mind?"
Jiang Ci didn't realize that the other party had a keener insight into him. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly,
“…Thinking about He Zhun.”
In fact, there was no need to say this to Huo Xianfeng, but Jiang Ci still spoke slowly at this moment.
"Although He Zhun seems a little unreliable, in fact, he is a genius in his professional field who is no less talented than my father... Jiang Jinsheng."
He Zhun obtained a doctorate in genetic engineering from the Imperial University at the age of eighteen, entered the capital's top scientific research institute at the age of twenty-three, and officially became the chief person in charge of many national secret research projects at the age of twenty-seven.
Jiang Ci had no idea what happened afterwards, because basically, everything He Zhun did after he turned 20 was top secret and he couldn't know it.
Huo Xianfeng was quite impressed by the name He Zhun. He frowned slightly.
"I remember he seemed to be a doctor?"
“… That’s just his part-time job.”
To be more precise, He Zhun's identity as a doctor was purely for Jiang Ci.
After all, it was common for an omega who entered a military academy and fought with alphas every day to get injured. Not to mention, Jiang Ci needed a lot of inhibitors every year to get through the growth period.
Inhibitors are controlled substances in the empire. Even though Jiang Ci's uncle is the commander of the First Legion, he cannot get many inhibitors. Therefore, all the inhibitors used by Jiang Ci are made by He Zhun, and they are much less harmful to the body than those circulating on the market.
Jiang Ci didn't say anything else, but Huo Xianfeng already knew what he was thinking.
He was thinking,
—It would be nice if He Jun was here.
These biochemical agents are what that person is best at. Maybe you can tell by just taking a look.
But in fact, what Jiang Ci really wanted at this moment was not an explanation of the uses of these biochemical agents, but He Zhun's explanation.
He closed his eyes deeply.
"I still don't understand why He Zhun would lie to me."
At the beginning, Jiang Ci confirmed with Dr. Wen immediately that the so-called new inhibitor Zhisu mentioned by He Zhun was not Zhisu at all, but a progesterone that had been modified for the purpose of being an inhibitor.
The latter can indeed achieve the effect of delaying the onset of pregnancy without harming the body, but it has not been completed yet, which is why Jiang Ci will experience symptoms of false pregnancy and be in a weak period for a long time. However, as long as it is metabolized as soon as possible, there will be basically no harm.
[As expected of He Zhun—]
Jiang Ci still remembered Dr. Wen's tone of astonishment and admiration at that time.
You know, since the invention of the inhibitor, countless people have tried to improve it, but hundreds of years have passed, and no one has been able to achieve the effect of truly harming the omega's body.
—Only He Zhun did it.
This is almost epoch-making in the field of human drug research and development.
But what Jiang Ci cared about was not this, but the Zhimei flower extract Zhisu that He Zhun injected into him.
Zhisu actually has no toxic effect on the human body, so the Zhimei flowers on Tiandong Star are just an excuse to lead him to Tiandong Star.
But why did He Zhun do this
Why did you trick him into going to Tiandong Star
Jiang Ci didn't know.
But the only thing he was sure of was that no one in the empire dared to plant Zhimei flowers, and as for Ye Shu, he hated that kind of flower. In addition, Doctor Wen said that in order to extract Zhisu, a large amount of Zhimei flowers would be needed as research materials...
All the doubts that he had deliberately ignored at the beginning were revealed like black and rugged reefs after the tide receded.
We were able to obtain the Zhimei flower for a certain period of time to study and extract it, and we also clearly knew that there was Zhimei flower on Tiandongxing…
Countless complicated thoughts swept through Jiang Ci's mind like a hurricane, and all the clues were intertwined, pointing to the same result.
However, Jiang Ci did not say too many details with personal emotions, but just told Huo Xianfeng:
"There are also a lot of roses in He Zhun's experimental materials. I speculate... he must have some kind of connection with the church."
And it’s not just any ordinary connection.
After all, the two of them are now deep behind enemy lines, fighting together, so some trust and intelligence exchange are very necessary.
At this time Huo Xianfeng suddenly said,
"You're so sad about being cheated, you like him?"
"…?"
What the hell
Jiang Ci was stunned. After realizing what the other party meant, he immediately felt extremely absurd and weird. The next second, Jiang Ci almost reflexively explained to Huo Xianfeng:
"How is that possible?! I just thought of him as..."
-elder brother.
But Jiang Ci had never called He Zhun that before, and it seemed a little strange, so he paused and whispered,
"… He's also half a relative, I guess."
But just after he finished speaking, Jiang Ci suddenly reacted.
No, wait, why should he explain this to Huo Xianfeng? It’s not the focus of the intelligence.
"—Then why not find a chance to ask him in person?"
Huo Xianfeng shrugged.
"If all else fails, torture him to extract a confession. If the answer is not satisfactory, beat him up to vent your anger."
"… "
Jiang Ci did not expect such a simple and crude answer. Although it did not stand up to scrutiny and sounded like a joke, for some reason, his originally depressed mood suddenly became much better.
"you two!"
"Hurry up and work, there's no time left!!!"
Xiao Liu's somewhat anxious voice came from above.
"Why are you still whispering and flirting?"
Jiang Daqingci: "…"
Huo·Maqiao·Xianfeng: "..."
Fortunately, the three of them worked hard and finally finished the work before entering the factory.
At this time, the huge carrier passed through the safety door and landed on the huge apron with a bang, pressing the entire earth so hard that it trembled slightly. Four huge hatches on both sides opened and slowly lowered the slide.
At this time, on the ground, more than a dozen teams of workers and twenty robotic arm loaders were rushing towards the carrier in an orderly and rapid manner. Millions of tons of nectar began to be unloaded, and the scene was bustling, but busy but not chaotic.
If you look at this scene from a God's perspective, it is like observing countless densely packed worker ants, who are diligently moving the stored food that was transported back with great difficulty.
Xiao Liu is indeed a warm-hearted person. Before he left, he was still nagging at the temporary workers behind him,
"Don't look around or talk nonsense. A senior member of the church will come to inspect the handover..."
Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci exchanged a glance without leaving a trace. They lowered their heads, mingled with a group of temporary workers, and followed Xiao Liu off the carrier.
Not far away, Huo Xianfeng saw the religious leader who came to inspect as Xiao Liu mentioned.
The two people were still wearing the unique white robes of the Phantom God Cult, but they did not have the golden embroidery like Yulia, but light silver.
Huo Xianfeng confirmed.
—These should be two high-ranking believers.
Because lower-class believers do not have embroidery.
Next to the two men was a giant biological box, about three meters high. Brother Wang, the worker leader that Huo Xianfeng and Jiang Ci had met before, was nodding and bowing in front of several believers, sweating profusely, as if something had gone wrong.
Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the biological box.
As the name suggests, a biological box is a box used to transport living things, and it is very expensive. But the point is, if two high-ranking believers are responsible for transporting it, it must be a very important living thing.
The young man's mind moved, and he tried to invade with his mental power.
The biggest racial feature of the Zerg is that they have an internal hierarchical structure similar to that of bees and ants, and they obey the king's orders unconditionally.
The second is appearance. The larvae of low-level Zerg do not have much difference in appearance, similar to bees without wings. After they have passed the metamorphosis period and grown huge metal bone wings that are most characteristic of their race, they will have huge morphological differences due to different division of labor.
As for the third and most unique feature, only the Zerg have a mental network. As long as the King Bug has a strong enough mental support, it can even ignore the space barrier and command any Zerg at will.
In fact, there were no Zerg inside, but at this moment, Huo Xianfeng strangely established a subtle connection with it.
The next second, in the extreme darkness inside the biological box, a pair of cold animal eyes slowly opened.
"Liu Shengli! Come here!!!"
At this moment, the pot-bellied man suddenly turned his head and shouted,
—It turns out that Xiao Liu’s name is Liu Shengli.
Huo Xianfeng turned around and took a look, and felt that this name was very auspicious.
"What's wrong with you?! How could you make such a low-level mistake?!"
Wang Sheng started to curse.
"You have a pig brain, do you still want to do this!!!"
The cold gaze of the believer next to him swept over, and Xiao Liu's back was immediately soaked. He checked the data on the electronic screen with trepidation.
"Brother Wang, this, this is not me..."
Because it wasn't his fault at all, but Wang Sheng's... He looked up and saw the usually amiable man staring at him, with threats and fear intertwined in his eyes, causing his fat face to twist.
Xiao Liu's pupils suddenly dilated to the extreme because he understood Wang Sheng's expression at that moment.
The leadership is clear.
Let him take the blame.
"… "
At this moment, the air was very stagnant and oppressive, and everyone around was silent and dared not speak. After a few minutes, no one knew what Liu Shengli said.
boom!
I only saw the cultist next to him suddenly punch him to the ground, and almost instantly half of his face was covered with blood.
What followed was an extremely horrific and violent beating. The hair-raising sounds of bone cracking and screams drowned out the hum of the ship's engine for a few seconds.
"Gerda, that's enough."
Another believer next to him gently scolded his companion,
"We just received an order from above. We are on an urgent mission to escort the C-class asset back."
"Shut up, West! How dare these pigs be so careless and make such a low-level mistake."
Gerda's tone was angry.
"I'm going to be scolded again when I go back!"
As he said that, he kicked Xiao Liu hard in the stomach, and the latter immediately vomited a large mouthful of blood.
The scene was extremely bloody and uncomfortable, and many workers turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch any longer. Jiang Ci's expression was also somewhat gloomy, but now was not the time to step out, so she could only hold back.
The Illusion God Cult has a strict hierarchy, with believers at the lowest position, not to mention that they are divided into different levels, and the lowest level believers are basically not even considered human beings. But that is only within the Illusion God Cult. Once it is put outside, as long as the name of the church is put on, it is enough to scare people.
However, Huo Xianfeng had just beaten up Archbishop Leinster not long ago, and he didn't even have the slightest respect for the legendary Pope, so these believers were basically no different from ants to him.
But the scene of the beating was really uncomfortable.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the huge biological tank for a second.
boom!!!
The originally quiet box shook violently, and a raised palm print was left on the originally smooth side.
The two believers turned around instantly, their pupils constricted, and they immediately retreated five or six meters away, showing an extremely surprised and alert posture.
"What's going on?! Hasn't he already injected ten times the amount of anesthesia..."
boom!
Before he could finish his words, the next second, the entire bio-tank was violently knocked open from the inside, and the originally neat cube was distorted almost instantly.
"Roar!!!"
Jiang Ci's pupils suddenly shrank as she discovered that there was actually a chimpanzee locked in the biological box.
He found that the church particularly liked to use the word "asset".
The Forbidden Abyss is the church's most precious asset.
The chimpanzee in front of us is also called a C-class asset.
Even when Leinster wanted to take Huo Xianfeng away, he shouted—
[Huo Chao, as the church's most precious asset, please come back with me!!!]
Something flashed through Jiang Ci's mind, but before he could grasp it, he heard sharp screams from the people around him.
Because this black beast seemed to be in some kind of extremely violent state, the first thing it did when it came out was to launch indiscriminate attacks on everyone around it.
Wang Sheng was the closest to the scene and had almost no time to react before he was grabbed by the huge beast's hand. His skin was torn, broken bones protruded from his muscles, and blood spurted out, spraying all over the ground.
“Ahh—”
The shrill scream made the faces of the two believers nearby turn pale, and they immediately shouted in shock,
"Where are the guards?! Hurry up and call the guards over!!!"
Geda immediately pulled out his gun, pointed it at the chimpanzee, and started firing at full volume.
"West! Find the gun!!!"
The light bullet exploded on the giant beast's body, creating blood flowers one after another, successfully angering the latter. The chimpanzee dropped Wang Sheng, who was already dead in his hand, and rushed straight towards the two men.
"Roar!"
At this time, while the chimpanzees' hatred was attracted by the two believers, Jiang Ci suddenly rushed out, grabbed Xiao Liu's clothes, dragged him to a safe place, and shouted,
"White Pond!"
He did not give any specific orders, but the mecha, which was in tune with its master, had already started the medical scan.
"Three ribs were shattered and fractured, the lung was punctured, and there was heavy bleeding in the stomach..."
Huo Xianfeng hid in the chaotic crowd, glanced at Jiang Ci who was giving first aid to Liu Shengli, and then shifted his gaze back to the chaotic battle situation.
The cultist named West fired several shots at the chimpanzee with an anesthetic gun, but the chimpanzee's skin seemed to be particularly thick, and the anesthetic needle could only penetrate the surface shallowly, failing to achieve the best effect.
Then, he was thrown out violently, hit against the wall, and the anesthesia gun fell out of his hand and was thrown more than ten meters away. The other one, named Geda, was still attacking with his gun raised, but he didn't hit any vital parts.
Huo Xianfeng's eyes darkened.
It seems that this so-called C-class asset is very important to them, and they must capture it alive even if their lives are threatened.
In the distance, a group of guards were rushing towards this side.
Huo Xianfeng suddenly strode forward. His sharp movements made him look like a spear, piercing out from the chaotic fleeing crowd.
He quickly rolled on the ground, grabbed the anesthesia gun that fell on the ground, and took aim. However, the boy did not shoot immediately. Instead, he waited until the black beast suddenly grabbed Geda and twisted his legs to pieces.
Snap!
Huo Xianfeng pulled the trigger.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
All three needles were aimed at the wound opened by the bullet and penetrated directly. The light yellow anesthetic liquid instantly invaded the body and flowed throughout the body along the blood.
Just a dozen seconds later—
boom!
The giant beast that was so violent and ferocious just now fell to the ground with a loud bang, causing the entire ground to shake.
On the other side, Jiang Ci urgently stopped Liu Shengli's bleeding, but it seemed to be of no avail.
“Thank… Thank you…”
When the seriously injured and dying man thanked him, blood was still oozing from the corners of his mouth.
In fact, these are all very common medical first aid knowledge, which will not attract much attention. However, they are not very useful for such serious injuries.
So Jiang Ci shook her head gently, indicating that it was okay.
"No need to thank me, your injuries are too severe, I... can't save you."
At this time, Liu Shengli suddenly grabbed Jiang Ci's sleeve:
"You... you are not... temporary workers..."
Jiang Ci's pupils tightened, and she only heard the man's trembling voice.
"Actually... I knew it the first time I saw you... because all the temporary workers were hired by me."
Even though Huo Xianfeng used Xiao X to tamper with the information of the two people in the temporary worker identity system, it could not change the memory of the human brain. The two extra unfamiliar faces were really too conspicuous, and Liu Shengli discovered it immediately.
But as he was about to enter the factory, Liu Shengli didn't want to cause any more trouble.
So he acted particularly warm, kind, and honest, and used joking jokes to deliberately lower the two people's guard.
"Originally... I was planning to wait until... the carrier landed, and then report to the factory security department... Maybe I could even earn a bonus..."
"… "
Hearing this, Jiang Ci felt a slight chill on his back. Perhaps it was because the people he met along the way looked too ordinary, so that he had unconsciously relaxed his vigilance. If it weren't for this sudden accident, they would probably have been exposed soon.
"So... what do you want to know?"
Jiang Ci was slightly startled, and immediately took the opportunity to lean over and quickly asked,
“What on earth is going on in the factory, and why does the church need so much nectar?”
"… "
Liu Shengli's lips, which were covered in blood, trembled and twitched as he spoke a few words slowly.
At this time, the guards who hurried over immediately surrounded the place, and many low-level believers also rushed over.
Jiang Ci stood up silently, his heart filled with turmoil because of the secret he had just learned. He looked up inadvertently and met Huo Xianfeng's gaze.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him casually.
"… "
It was difficult for Jiang Ci to describe the look in Huo Xianfeng's eyes at that moment, but he probably knew that he was calling him over. Jiang Ci paused for a second, but still walked over.
How should I put it, this strange feeling.
During the few seconds that Jiang Ci walked towards Huo Xianfeng, he actually had the illusion that... the other person had attracted him with just a glance.
despair.
Jiang Ci stood beside Huo Xianfeng, paused for two seconds, then reached for his hand, her fingertips quickly sliding across the boy's palm.
[Church… Factory…]
[Nectar… Zerg…]
Huo Xianfeng closed his eyes deeply, tightened his finger bones, and held the omega's soft hand in his palm.
He understood the message the other party was conveying.
—The Church uses nectar to breed Zerg in this factory.
On the other side, the two cult leaders immediately received special attention. Fortunately, West was only injured in the flesh, but Gerda's leg was seriously injured and needed to be hospitalized for surgery immediately.
—But they are now in urgent need of escorting C-level assets to the White Tower.
As Huo Xianfeng expected, West's eyes quickly fell on him. He discussed with his companions for a few words, then came over, looked at him carefully, and asked,
"May I have your name."
"Muslim sir,"
Huo Xianfeng made a somewhat uneasy expression, but he was still able to lie without blinking.
"My name is Jiang Feng,"
“… ?!”
Jiang Ci immediately looked at Huo Xianfeng. Although he was surprised enough, from an outsider's perspective, it was just a very subtle movement.
The major general found that the other party's expression was natural, as if he really called that name.
Jiang Feng...
—Used his last name.
For some reason, Jiang Ci's heart skipped a beat at this moment. But before he could carefully ponder the strange feeling just now, he found that West had passed Huo Xianfeng and cast his scrutinizing eyes over him.
"And you?"
"… "
In fact, Jiang Ci had thought of several fake names to give out before, but the boy's words "Jiang Feng" interrupted his thoughts for a second, so he was unable to reply immediately.
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng took a half step forward, took Jiang Ci's hand and pulled her behind him, blocking West's sight.
The boy answered naturally:
"—His name is Huo Ci."
"… "
Buzz!
Jiang Ci's breathing stagnated slightly, and he felt as if his brain had been shaken. He clenched his fingers tightly and felt his fingertips slightly numb and hot.
But in the end, he turned his head slightly and did not refute.
