Chapter 282

early morning.

It was still early, the sun had not yet fully risen from the horizon, and the foggy sky was gray-blue.

Tianyun Star has an abnormal climate and disordered magnetic poles. Most of the time, even when the sun rises, it is difficult to see a bright blue sky.

The Zerg living on Tianyun Star have rarely seen good weather since they were born. If it weren't for the videos played by Gray Fog, it would be hard to imagine that Tianyun Star was once so prosperous and beautiful.

After washing up, Ye Xiao, feeling refreshed, stood in the same position as last night, looking into the distance and below.

Compared to last night when it was pitch black with little light visible, today I can see everything within my sight.

The ground was smooth and repaired, with a wide and straight driveway stretching endlessly into the distance. In front of the central hall was a square paved with stone slabs, with artificial plants and street lamps planted along the periphery of the square.

If the construction of Area 1 is still a makeshift one, then the central hall is already very close to modern construction, although it still cannot compare with the construction standards of advanced civilizations shown in some videos.

Yesterday I went directly down from the platform to the basement level, which was a bit of a missed experience.

Ye Xiao couldn't tell what emotions were rising in his heart when he saw this scene.

The feeling was very complicated, as if mixed with many indescribable emotions.

If we were to say who was most aware of the changes in the gathering place, it was not the female insects, but them.

Because of their value, male insects spend more time and longer dealing with unicorns. It is not entirely a forced relationship - it is more like a half-coercive and half-compromising relationship.

——Use the methods and environment for raising female insects to breed male insects, and the delicate male insects will die in batches for the unicorns to see.

It is precisely because of this that the unicorns are relatively loose in their restrictions and restraints on the male insects. As long as the male insects honestly complete their annual KPIs, the unicorns basically do not interfere with what they do.

Compared with the clueless female insects, the male insects are more like those who pretend not to know their situation and live their lives in a drunken stupor.

In the end, he even deceived himself.

For so many years, so many male insects have been living like this.

Until the arrival of the gray fog broke this self-deceiving illusion and tore off the veil, all the male insects could no longer deceive themselves.

"Still watching." Qiao Ming walked up to him.

"Hasn't that been concluded?"

In fact, looking at all this, Qiao Ming was also very shocked. After all, they originally thought that the gray fog had not been on Tianyun Star for long.

But the central hall, the road leading to District 49, and the surrounding construction were still very surprising, even though they had visited the construction progress of District 1.

——No matter how fast the construction speed is, it still takes time. It is obvious that the time taken here is much faster than the construction progress in Area 1.

There is only one reason to explain this situation, that is, the construction here started earlier.

As for how to watch?

Zergs with terminals can click on the construction progress of their area to check the 24-hour live video broadcast. If you watch it every day, you will find that it looks new every day.

Jiang Chen wiped his face and walked out of the bathroom to see Ye Xiao and Qiao Ming standing together and talking, while Qin Yao was sitting on the bed on the other side fiddling with the terminal.

“Dongdongdong——”

There was a knock on the door.

Seeing that he was close, Jiang Chen walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was an intelligent robot bug that was less than the height of his calf.

In the storage box on the back of the robot insect, in addition to a few nutritional supplements that it drank yesterday, there are also several glass tubes with names on them. The colorless liquid inside is unidentifiable.

Jiang Chen bent down and picked it up.

Recognizing his movements, the robot made a sound.

"Star and Moon Potion, one worm per bottle, take according to the instructions."

“Don’t take the wrong one.”

"The medicine has been delivered, and the medical treasure mission has been completed."

The robot insect adopted the voice of a cub, and while speaking, it turned around and left by manipulating the wheels.

Jiang Chen, who was holding medicine and nutrients at the door, raised his hand when facing the three pairs of eyes looking at him.

"Come and get it yourself."

After a while, they each received a potion with their name on it.

"It says don't drink the nutritional supplement yet, and take the Star Moon potion... within three minutes before the examination." Jiang Chen said.

Compared to the nutritional supplements, everyone was more interested in the Star and Moon Potion, which was something they had never seen before.

"What is this used for?" Qin Yao frowned.

“It’s not written there.”

"It should be taken before the examination and should be related to the examination to be done later."

Ye Xiao opened the terminal, entered the four words [Star Moon Potion] on the search page, and pressed the search button.

Ye Xiao was a little disappointed when he saw the search interface that popped up with no relevant content.

"No, I thought I could find some information."

Qiao Ming held the potion in his hand and shrugged nonchalantly, saying, "It's obvious that this kind of thing can't be found online. Perhaps it can be found in the Gray Mist Forum's internal database."

The network is open to all Zerg with terminals, and the information above is filtered. The data search within the Gray Mist Forum is more comprehensive, but requires special permissions to use it.

Gray Mist did not hide this fact, so any Zerg with a terminal that could access the Gray Mist forum knew about it.

"The inspection done yesterday was a routine inspection, but with a few more items."

"And there is no examination related to mental strength."

"Didn't the doctor say he would come personally to examine us today to determine the surgical plan? This potion, whose name I've never heard of, is probably related to mental strength."

In fact, Ye Xiao and the others had guessed what Jiang Chen said.

"Spiritual power..."

Ye Xiao smiled, looked at them and said, "After reading so many books related to mental power, I really want to know what it feels like to have mental power myself."

"Who isn't?" Qiao Ming raised the corners of his lips.

I have to say, before I knew I could possess mental powers, it was nothing.

But knowing that they are capable of possessing it but have been deprived of it, their desire for spiritual power begins to arise endlessly in their hearts, especially the male insects with higher spiritual power potential ratings.

The more I know, the more unbearable it is for me to be like this.

Because they didn't know when the doctor would arrive, they couldn't go anywhere else before the doctor arrived, so as not to miss the meeting with the doctor.

Ye Xiao and the others could only chat in the ward and observe the female insects coming to the central hall.

Just after 6:30 in the morning, female insects began to appear downstairs one after another. According to what the unicorn said yesterday, these should be female insects coming to work.

"District 49 is really lucky." Qiao Ming leaned against the window and sighed.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that among the numerous districts in Gathering Place No. 2, only District 49 stood out. Although the Gray Mist had always been fair and just, some things were still different.

"Tianyun Star is so big, there must be a first come first served." Jiang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Besides, compared to Gathering Place No. 1, we are already in a much better situation."

Qiao Ming was speechless: "That's true..."

There are two gathering places on Tianyun Star, which can be seen from the information released by Gray Fog. Compared with Gathering Place No. 2, which they were in earlier, the progress at Gathering Place No. 1 is even slower.

But everyone understands.

Everyone saw everything Gray Mist did, and they all understood that Gray Mist had tried his best to help the Zerg of Tianyun Star, but when one's power is limited, many things cannot be accomplished overnight.

Everyone can understand that it is normal for there to be differences between different regions, and life is much better now than in the past.

Without mentioning anything else, the original one-horned people didn't care how many of them died of hunger, cold, and disease, but now the gray fog guarantees their most basic living needs.

Not only has the mortality rate of cubs in Gathering No. 2 dropped to almost nothing this year, but the same is true in Gathering No. 1 as well.

This alone is enough for everyone to be grateful to Gray Mist.

As for other aspects, there is nothing to ask for. They are the ones who ask for and receive. Can they be so shameless as to ask for more?

…

Qi Heng arrived at the medical center on the fourth floor of the central hall very early.

In a special examination room, he placed a device that was manufactured after system design and transformation in the folding space.

Then debug according to the instructions given by A0.

The basic debugging of the equipment is done by the program, and it has been simulated countless times in the virtual world. Now the final hands-on debugging is done in reality, which feels both strange and familiar.

"It's all right."

He looked at the dozens of needles of different thicknesses and lengths neatly arranged next to him. These needles were very similar to acupuncture needles and had similar uses, all of which were used for pricking.

"It's time to go meet them."

Qi Heng walked out.

On the way here, A0 reported to him the examination results of the four male insects.

The patient is in good health and will not affect subsequent examinations and treatments.

As he passed by the window on the side of the corridor, he tilted his head slightly to look at his reflection in the window. His appearance at this moment was completely different from his original appearance.

[Doctor] and [Qi Heng] have always been two different people to the outside world, so naturally they look different.

In order to make a special distinction, he even changed his dressing style and put on a white coat to better fit his identity as a doctor today.

When he reached the ward where the four male insects lived, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, the door opened in front of him.

The first time she saw the male insect that opened the door for her, she matched the male insect in front of her with the information she had read.

Brown eyes, brown hair, and a cold expression.

This is Qin Yao.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you. I'm 'Doctor'."

Qi Heng stood at the door and looked into the ward. Facing four gazes falling on him, he calmly introduced himself.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he accepted their scrutiny with an indifferent expression.

"I've already reviewed your information and yesterday's test results on the way here. The results are good and won't delay today's progress."

"Time is limited. If you have any questions, we can talk while we walk."

"What do you think?"

After a brief silence, Ye Xiao replied, "We'll listen to you."

"Then let's go."

"By the way, don't forget to bring the Star and Moon Potion."

Then they left the ward.

Qi Heng walked in front, and Ye Xiao and the others followed behind him, holding the Star and Moon Potion that the robot insect had brought to them earlier.

Ye Xiao observed the person walking in front of him, with some exploratory thoughts in his mind.

Is this 'Doctor Sir'?

It seemed to be no different from them, and it was impossible to tell whether it was of the same species just from the appearance. The induction between the male insects did not give any unusual feeling.

Assuming that the other party is of the same species, if it is not a male insect, it can only be a female insect.

But is it really a female insect?

Ye Xiao felt a little uncertain again.

The Tianjia Zerg can instinctively distinguish whether the other party is of the same species, and can also distinguish the other party's gender, but in the case of "Doctor", the perception that has always been effective has lost its effect.

He looked at Jiang Chen who was thinking about something beside him. It was obvious that he was not the only one who thought so, and they couldn't tell the difference either.

What if they are not of the same race?

Ye Xiao fell into deep thought.

As far as he knew, among Gray Mist, this person was the only one who came from outside Tianyun Star. As Gray Mist's external affairs manager, he was responsible for all affairs on Tianyun Star.

As for the others, whether they are responsible for transforming the gathering place or managing the Zerg in the gathering place, they are all Zerg who originally lived on Tianyun Star.

If they are not of the same race, why would we go to so much trouble to help them?

This is beneficial to them, but it also comes with great risks.

Isn't it a bit of a waste of time?
