The base's communication system was completely destroyed, but the chaos outside was not over yet, and the other team members were already losing their patience.

One of the tall and fat mercenaries picked up his gun and said, "Let's go out and fight them!!"

After saying this, he paced for several steps, but did not rush out as he said.

There is no other reason. If you rush out at this moment, the only result will be death.

This is an abandoned planet, and their only way to survive is to wait for rescue from the Empire.

But when will the imperial army arrive?

Nobody knows.

They waited in the dark basement for who knows how long, and finally the rescue team arrived.

At first, all the bugs didn't dare to open the door directly until the other party showed the imperial military emblem.

At once, members of several teams and grassroots workers at the base rushed forward, fearing that they would be left behind.

However, the leader of the team didn't even look at them. He pointed the light of the illuminator directly at Wei Shao in the corner: "You, come here."

Wei Shao's eyes were stinging and tearing because of the sudden exposure to the light. He couldn't see clearly for a moment, but he could feel his hand being tightly grasped by Philo.

The female soldier at the door urged impatiently: "Hurry up."

A bug was so brave that he asked, "Why should he go first?"

The female soldier glanced at the person who spoke indifferently, then retracted her gaze, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "The male insect goes first."

Yes, except for the abandoned stars in the empire, male insects are respected.

The few insects that were originally indignant also calmed down.

The grassroots clerks whose fighting power was not as good as that of the mercenaries were obviously more terrified. They asked hesitantly, "Then what about us..."

This time, the female soldier didn't even try to bully him. She just said, "Wait."

These female soldiers were holding the empire's latest combat weapons, which were much more powerful than those in the hands of the mercenaries on the abandoned planet. Therefore, even though his attitude was perfunctory to the extreme, no one dared to say "no".

They all knew that based on their previous experience working at the base, they should be thankful to be recruited.

Fei Luo loosened his grip on Wei Shao's arm a little, but did not let go completely.

He frowned and stared at the female soldier outside the door for a long time before turning his head and saying to Wei Shao, "Brother..."

He was worried about the group of military women outside.

But he didn't want to let Wei Shao and them continue here with their lives hanging in the balance.

Hollus suddenly said, "There's a male insect here, don't you want to take it with you?"

The female soldier followed his words and scanned the basement tunnel, finally locking onto the male insect Jonah who was standing behind Luke with only half of his body exposed.

The female soldier raised her right hand and pointed her finger at the subordinates behind her: "Take them with you."

Wei Shao had no intention of going with him at all.

He was determined to accompany Philo to escape from danger. After all, he was a person from another world and might not die if he encountered danger, but it was different for Philo.

He was about to refuse, but was interrupted by a mechanical voice: [Wei Shao! 】

Wei Shao's lips froze, and he cursed in his heart: [How the hell did you remember to come back! ! 】

The system was even more upset than he was, and after swearing several strings of garbled words, it calmed down a little.

The general idea is to condemn Wei Shao for embezzlement.

Wei Shao interrupted directly: [Stop talking nonsense, why didn’t you let me refuse just now? Are there any problems with those outside? 】

The system was silent for a moment: [I didn't stop you from refusing. I just wanted to make the situation clear to you - the female soldier outside is not coming for you, but for Philo. 】

Wei Shao's attitude became completely serious: [What do you mean? Are they going to send me away? 】

Under normal circumstances, I would have mocked him by saying something like “You really think highly of yourself”, but now I had no time to waste words.

It explains as succinctly as possible: [No. They take you for Philo. You can understand Philo as the son of a criminal. Philo's father, the criminal, had always concealed Philo's gender, and before his death, he used a secret relationship to send Philo to the abandoned planet. 】

Wei Shao understood, but suspected that he had misunderstood. He asked in disbelief: [How could this be? Is this part in the original plot? 】

[Of course not, it's just that the purity of your pheromones is too high, and you were targeted by mistake, and you made the wrong choice. 】The female soldier at the door looked very impatient. The system sped up its speech, [The emperor's main goal this time is to clean up the abandoned planet. Killing the son of a guilty minister is just a side effect. If you don't tell the truth, you will have to suffer for him. 】

Wei Shao's hands and feet felt a little stiff, and he subconsciously glanced at Philo.

Many, many years later, that look could still be reproduced exactly in Philo's midnight dreams.

Like a nightmare, but also like a blessing.

Wei Shao took a deep breath and took a step forward: [I'll go over and check out the situation first. 】

[Wei Shao! 】

"elder brother!"

Fei Luo felt panic for no reason, and he grabbed Wei Shao's sleeve tightly, and called him at the same time as the system.

The system said slowly: [Wei Shao, they have murderous intentions, think it through carefully. 】

It had said everything it should have said, and believed that it had not led Wei Shao to take actions that would be more beneficial to Philo.

Wei Shao was silent for a moment, ignored it, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth and moved his fingertips.

He wanted to raise his hand to touch Philo's hair and kiss his temples.

But the gazes at the door passed by like knives.

In the end, he just patted Fei Luo's shoulder and said calmly: "There is no benefit in angering them. I will go first. They are from the Imperial Star and will not harm the male insects. Don't worry."

Philo wanted to say something else, but Wei Shao had already turned and left.

At the same time, several female soldiers came to Luke and brought Jonah with them.

Wei Shao didn't look back, and he and Jonah walked up the stairs one after the other, heading towards the ground.

Walking through the long and narrow corridor, the light outside was getting closer and closer, and Wei Shao suddenly stopped.

[Wei Shao...] The system's mechanical sound was unusually stuck, perhaps it really couldn't control the direction, [You still have time to go back now. 】

Wei Shao finally replied: [Aren’t you afraid that he will die? 】

Of course the system is afraid.

But it was it that pulled Wei Shao in, and if Wei Shao died, it would also be punished by the rules.

The last time it took Philo away without permission, it was directly blocked by the rules for more than a year.

And considering how much Philo cares about Wei Shao now, if Wei Shao were gone, wouldn't the world collapse?

The system was still down, and Wei Shao turned to Jonah and said, "Jonah, I remember Luke's spiritual sea is still unstable and needs your comfort. Is it okay for you to leave like this?"

Jonah hesitated for a moment: "I..."

Wei Shao directly told the female military officer who was leading the way, "Let him go back. His female ruler needs him very much right now."

The female soldier agreed without hesitation, so decisively that even Jonah noticed something was wrong.

Jonah wanted to call him: "Wes..."

Wei Shao interrupted him, looking a little impatient: "You should go back quickly. The army is here. There is no need to rush."

Jonah arrived late and was not very familiar with him. After hearing what was said, he didn't know how to continue. He could only stand there and watch Wei Shao and his group walk away.

Wei Shao followed behind the female soldiers with heavy steps: [Stupid system, what should we do now? 】

These insects all have weapons in their hands, so it is impossible for him to escape.

The system had previously seen him looking ready to die, and had thought he was not afraid.

[There’s nothing I can do!] 】The system's mechanical sound was mixed with crackling sounds, and it was obviously broken.

Wei Shao could only slow down his pace, pretending to be exhausted, and follow them as slowly as a turtle.

The female soldier didn't urge him, but her finger never left the trigger.

Of course, Wei Shao could not reveal Fei Luo's background, but he also could not show that he knew the other party's purpose, otherwise it would confirm their speculation.

Dead end.

Even though he walked slowly, he still arrived in front of the aircraft soon. Wei Shao was sweating profusely, thinking, these guys couldn't kill him on the aircraft, could they?

He gritted his teeth and took a step with his right foot, but was stopped by the system in a stern voice: [Wait! ! 】

[There is a bomb on the aircraft!] 】

Buzz——

Wei Shao felt almost numb from head to toe. Under the almost cold gaze of the female soldier, he slowly took a step forward.

[…What should we do now?] 】

The system quickly gave two options: [One, you reveal Philo's background and gamble on his reputation as the male protagonist. 】

Wei Shao spoke almost instantly: [Impossible. 】

If that damn male lead halo was useful, he wouldn't be here at all.

The system suggested a second plan: [Second, you go up, and the moment the bomb explodes, I will pull you back, but I can't guarantee that you will still be alive when you go back, and even if you are alive, I will run out of energy and go into hibernation, and it will be almost impossible for you to come back. 】

Wei Shao suddenly regretted not kissing Fei Luo just now.

He was pushed onto the aircraft by the female military officer, and the flight door closed immediately. His body staggered and became heavy - the aircraft took off.

He asked the system in a nearly deafening noise: [Can you make him forget me? 】

He didn't hear the system's answer.

The aircraft exploded into pieces in mid-air, and Wei Shao lost consciousness in the scorching heat and raging flames.

Wei Shao woke up on the cold floor.

The voice of the system calling him in his mind suddenly became louder: [Wei Shao, you are finally awake! 】

Wei Shao felt a heavy head and for a moment he could not tell where he was.

He is dead… ?

No……

He looked around blankly - this was his and Philo's home.

Not in the cold bridge tunnel of the abandoned star, not in Noah’s second base, but in the Imperial Star Army.

——He left for more than ten years and met Philo again... and got married... What about Philo?

What about Philo?

The forgotten memories were swirling in his mind, causing Wei Shao to have a splitting headache: [Where is Philo? 】

The system spoke quickly: [He is preparing to avenge you. 】

revenge?

What revenge?

He almost died on that aircraft, Philo and... and the 401st Squadron...

Wei Shao's face suddenly turned pale.

What about Luke and the others? ...Ludel, Ludel is Luke's child? Where did they go? Why did Philo never mention it to him later...

Could it be that...

The system was silent for a moment: [They were going to die anyway. 】

[…Fuck you] Wei Shao cursed back in a hoarse voice, [I’m going to find him, I’m going to find him. 】

He left that year. What happened to Philo? What did Philo do over the years? Why did the system say that Philo was avenging him?

Who to take revenge on? Emperor? ...Wei Shao simply couldn't bear to think about it.

Also, after so many years, how come his Lolo is left alone again?

Wei Shao's mind was in a mess, with only one thought left:

He wanted to find Philo.

He opened his terminal almost at a loss and dialed the number on Philo's side.

I got hung up the first time.

The second time I was still hung up.

Wei Shao was almost going crazy.

The third time the call finally got through.

Philo's voice sounded a little distorted in the terminal. It was different from what he remembered, colder, harder, and more magnetic. But when facing Wei Shao, he was still unspeakably gentle.

All Wei Shao wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

It was Fei Luo who called him first: "Wei Shao, what's wrong?"

No, it shouldn’t be Wei Shao.

"...Why don't you call me brother anymore?" Wei Shao's voice was hoarse, and there was an imperceptible tremor in it.

He called him softly,

“…Lolo.”

The breathing sounds over there suddenly stopped, and then became disordered.

Just like their heartbeats to each other at this moment.
