Chapter 92 Forced Takeover [Female E, Male O] (Part 8) First Army...

Chu Jing slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a layer of transparent glass. The slight reflection made him squint uncomfortably. He tried to move his fingers. The pain in his body had disappeared, but the pain in his heart had not.

The green light in front of him kept flashing, and then he heard footsteps approaching him. Xu Lingzhao looked down at him and said, "Come out when you're awake." She opened the door of the treatment pod and carried the limp Chu Jingze out of it.

Neither of them spoke. Xu Lingzhao carried him into the familiar room and carefully covered him with a blanket.

The soft bed and his exhaustion made Chu Jing drowsy. He turned his head to the other side, not looking at Xu Lingzhao, as if he was still angry.

Xu Lingzhao looked at his exposed glands, the bite marks on them had almost healed, and the slightly swollen glands had a faint pink hue, like a peach. She swallowed and licked her dry lips.

She frowned at the Omega's resistance, took off her coat, and crawled into the blanket. She hugged Chu Jingze from behind, buried her chin in the back of his neck, and her tone softened for once, "Don't do this to me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jing opened his eyes. He didn't know what he wanted to say, nor did he know why Xu Lingzhao said that. However, her softened tone made him feel a pang of sadness.

The Xu Lingzhao of today is completely different from the Xu Lingzhao who forced him.

"I'm afraid of you." Chu Jing turned to face her, only raising his eyelids to glance at her before lowering his eyes. "Don't treat me like this." He repeated her words.

"I'm sorry." Xu Lingzhao hugged him tighter, resting her chin on the top of his fluffy hair. "I was just too angry."

“I can explain.” Chu Jingze’s cheek was pressed against her chest. He felt that Xu Lingzhao was finally someone he could communicate with. “I didn’t add anyone else’s contacts randomly because he is my senior in the same department. I didn’t ignore your messages. I was just in class. I… I wasn’t going to run away. I just wanted to take him to the port and help him buy a quantum computer.”

His voice was terribly hoarse.

Xu Lingzhao lowered her eyes and gently rubbed his rounded earlobe with her fingertips. After a long while, she said, "I only want you to belong to me alone."

"I'm leaving today."

Xu Lingzhao placed a kiss on his forehead. "Sleep well, be good, and wait for me to come back."

Chu Jing didn't speak; he just listened quietly. Those seven days of passion had tormented him to the point of near death, and soon he closed his eyes.

When Chu Jingze woke up again, Xu Lingzhao was no longer beside him. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a great weight lifted off his shoulders. He didn't know how to face Xu Lingzhao.

He liked her, from the first moment he saw her, but she was also really scary.

He turned on his personal terminal, but there was no communication information from Xu Lingzhao. He sat blankly on the bed, feeling somewhat disappointed. Xu Lingzhao hadn't told him where she was going or when she would be back.

She just told him to wait for her.

In the days that followed, Chu Jing studied diligently and tried to become an exchange student.

A week passed, and he still hadn't seen Xu Lingzhao.

Half a month passed, and he still hadn't seen Xu Lingzhao.

A month passed, and he still hadn't seen Xu Lingzhao.

Chu Jing and An Pei walked side by side. During this time, their relationship grew better and better. They often spent time together discussing their studies or going out to play during their monthly holidays.

An Pei handed a strawberry ice cream to Chu Jingze. His naturally curly hair was messed up by the wind. He said, "I heard that the Zerg have been very active lately, and the military region is in a real bind. Many military academy students have been temporarily conscripted and sent to the military region ahead of schedule. Do you want to go?"

Chu Jing nodded, "I want to go."

"I want to go too."

Neither of them expected this day to come so soon.

When Chu Jin put on the combat uniform of the First Military Region, he was a little confused. He looked around and saw that very few people had been assigned to the First Military Region. Almost everyone else was in the Second, Third, or Fourth Military Regions.

The people in the car were unfamiliar with each other, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Chu Jing stared blankly at the ground. He and Xu Lingzhao had not seen each other for a month.

Will he be like what the forum says, someone you play with and then discard, someone you don't even care about? His curled fingers gradually clenched into a fist.

"How strange. Shouldn't I be relieved? Relieved that she let me go, but why does my heart feel so heavy?" Chu Jing thought to himself, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed, making it hard for him to breathe. He slumped his shoulders and shook his head. "It's nothing. Maybe it's because I'm too idle. Once I get to the First Military Region and get busy, I probably won't think about her anymore."

The starship was running smoothly, and Chu Jing was getting drowsy. Then the military-grade computer on his wrist vibrated, and almost everyone looked down to look at its contents.

[After review and approval, Comrade Chu Jingze, an A-level Omega, is hereby assigned to the Logistics Department. Given his qualifications, he will be primarily responsible for the daily medical care and management of the wounded.]

Chu Jing quickly scanned the contents and found that it was a personnel allocation issue. As expected, he was assigned to the logistics department.

At that moment, a piercing alarm sounded, and two red lights illuminated overhead.

Zerg invasion detected. All units are ordered to immediately activate Level 1 alert and maintain a high state of vigilance.

Chu Jing stood up and looked out the window. In the vast universe, countless black dots were rapidly approaching them from afar.

"So fast!"

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen the Zerg."

Those around him couldn't help but whisper among themselves to ease their tension, while Chu Jing gripped his high-speed rifle tightly and nervously licked his lips.

When the Zerg came within the helmet's field of vision, Chu Jing saw its appearance through the goggles. It had dark skin with clearly visible markings, and its mouth was open, with black mucus flowing down its fangs.

The goggles have a detailed description of it—destroying insects.

This was the first time Chu Jingze had ever seen living Zerg. His heart skipped a beat, but the alert was lifted just as the starship turned to face them.

The scene on Chu Jing's goggles switched from the Zerg to a mecha planetary team. The golden mecha at the head looked very special. It radiated golden light, and every part of its structure was exquisitely detailed. The cockpit was located in the chest cavity of the mecha.

The text above thoughtfully explains that the owner of the golden mecha is Xu Lingzhao.

Chu Jing held his breath as he watched Xu Lingzhao, her face grave, sitting upright in the cockpit. She was speaking to him with an expression he had never seen before, though there was a small scratch on her face that had already scabbed over.

He could hardly take his eyes off her face.

The next second, the scene switched to other people, and Chu Jing lowered her eyes, wondering how she could be so amazing, her ears turning slightly red.

With Xu Lingzhao's rescue, the starship successfully arrived at the space station. They needed to pass through the space station to reach the planet where the First Military District was stationed.

The Zerg are active not only in the universe but also on planets.

As soon as Chu Jing stepped off the starship, the wind, carrying sand and dust, blew against his helmet, making a rattling sound. He arrived at the military base of the First Military Region and followed the indicator lights on the ground to report to the logistics department.

He was greeted by another Omega, who became his temporary mentor. Before he could even rest, Chu Jing followed him to the base hospital.

Standing just outside, Chu Jing could hear the cries of the wounded. When he actually went inside, the scene inside shocked him.

Because of the surge in wounded and the lack of space to house them, many were lying or sitting on the cold ground, barely able to find a place to put their feet. Chu Jingze's task was to treat their wounds and inject them with serum to prevent infection. While treating their wounds, he asked in a low voice, "Aren't there any treatment pods?"

"Yes, but there are too many people."

Chu Jing lowered his head, no longer asking questions but trying to move as quickly as possible.

He had been busy until evening and hadn't eaten all day. He followed the indicator lights to the lobby, and then walked through the lobby to the cafeteria.

Just as he was stretching his aching arms, a cheer erupted at the entrance, and he instinctively looked towards the crowd.

That golden figure was so striking.

She was tall, and responded to their cheers with a faint smile on her face. In particular, the Omega beside her was also very conspicuous.

Chu Jing glanced at it and then quickly followed the direction of the indicator light. He touched his face; he must look very haggard. For some reason, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Even though the person she misses is right in front of her, she doesn't dare to get close. Doesn't she just tell others that he's just a toy for her, someone she'll replace when she's tired of him?

From his perspective, the Omega was right next to Xu Lingzhao.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. The icy water calmed him down. He reminded himself that he hadn't come here to see anyone, but to contribute to the Federation.

He has his own mission and tasks.

Even if Xu Lingzhao is with someone else now, it has nothing to do with him.

After all, she never said anything like they were together.

Chu Jing looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes slightly red. He sniffed and walked outside.

I was very hungry, but I just couldn't eat anything.

-

Xu Lingzhao watched Chu Jingze's departing figure, her brows furrowing slightly. This place was dangerous; what was he doing here? Private personal computers were not allowed in the military region.

Therefore, she was unable to contact him.

She wanted to go up to him, but more and more people gathered around, all cheering for her for just defeating the Zerg.

She could only suppress her frustration and deal with them until Chu Jing disappeared from her sight.

"What are you looking at, sister?" the male Omega standing next to her asked her curiously.

"If you ask me again, I'll tell your father to run away as soon as he sees the Zerg." Xu Lingzhao glanced at him, looking in the direction where Chu Jingze had disappeared, feeling somewhat annoyed.

She hadn't seen him for a month and missed him terribly.

There were still his underwear in the pocket of his shirt. Xu Lingzhao planned to go find him after everyone had left.

But the computer on my wrist started vibrating again.

A new task has been assigned. Xu Lingzhao let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave helplessly.

-

For three days in a row, Chu Jing did not see Xu Lingzhao again. He carried out the tasks on his personal computer step by step every day until this day, when he needed to go to the space station.

A major battle has just taken place there.

Countless wounded soldiers remained there, and the dark circles under Chu Jing's eyes became increasingly pronounced, while his once rosy lips turned pale.
