Chapter 131 Tianlong

Bazhuage's master, Yi, told him before leaving.

If Jiang He ever came back, he would take her to the corpse pool. His exact words were, "If she comes back and you can't drag her in by force, it's best to trick her into going in with words."

Yi also painted a big promise for Bazhua Ge: as long as he could lead Jiang He into the corpse pool, his restrictions would be lifted, and he could leave the base and go wherever he wanted.

Like No. 0, Octopus has long been tired of this place and can't wait to leave and see the colorful world outside.

"Jiang He, I don't mean to harm you," Bazhuage argued. "The master wouldn't do that to you either. Now that you've lost your memory, you definitely won't be as willing to go in there as before."

"Why do you have to go in there?" Jiang He still looked unhappy. "If you still don't tell the truth, I might as well throw you in there..."

Several tentacles instantly popped out, scaring Octopus into shouting, "I can't go in. I'll die. Only you, only you can. You won't die if you go in, and I'll help you level up."

He had never experienced the dangers of the outside world, and was so frightened by Jiang He that he almost cried.

Jiang He stared at his crying face and asked, "Upgrade?"

Seeing her tone soften, Octopus heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, I can upgrade you. That's what the master said at the time. But I don't know to what extent it will be upgraded. It will definitely be more perfect than it is now."

Jiang He walked back to the pool filled with human bodies and asked Xiao A, "Can you analyze the composition of this liquid?"

[Sorry, Queen, I can't do that.] Little A said with regret, and suggested to Jiang He, [Perhaps some of Chen Zhiyun's instruments could be used?]

In the dark red pool, those bodies seemed to be copied and pasted, all exactly the same. Their faces were soaked in the pool water all year round, as white as paper, but they were not swollen.

Normal skin would have been swollen by the soaking or dyed red by the red liquid in the pool.

Jiang He took another step forward, stretched out his hand, and pressed his palm against the glass wall.

Little A was startled by her behavior and whispered, "Your Majesty, you, you don't want to go in, do you?"

Jiang He didn't respond to it.

When her palm touched the glass wall, the human body in the pool seemed to be attracted by a magnet and floated towards her.

At the same time, she heard a lot of noisy voices in her mind.

The voice was noisy, yet very soft and low, as if it was whispering secretly in Jiang He's mind, not wanting others to hear it.

"Kill him."

"Don't kill."

"Let's go home together."

"Your life is not yours."

"You must not die."

"Jiang He!"

"Jiang He, don't believe him, leave quickly."

"The hard drive, the hard drive must be found."

"Not a single piece can be left behind. We must find them all."

"And him, find him, only him."

“Here, here…”

…

It was like the mumbling of countless people in their dreams, incoherent and pouring into Jiang He's mind.

Jiang He suddenly opened her eyes, only to realize that she had closed her eyes and pressed against the glass wall without knowing when. All the bodies in the pool water were around her, with their faces close to her through the glass wall.

Their eyes were all open, although their eyeballs were motionless, but at that moment, Jiang He felt that they were all staring at her.

Her scalp exploded in an instant, and Jiang He's whole body was covered with hair. She withdrew her hand and took two steps back.

The bodies in the pool still did not disperse. They pressed against the glass wall, staring at her.

Jiang He turned to look at Bazhuage, who was completely confused. "What's wrong with them? Aren't they all dead? Why, why do they seem to be staring at you?"

After saying this, Bazhuge suddenly seemed to have realized something, "I understand, there is still consciousness left in their bodies, so they want to stay by your side."

The reason why consciousness seeks its own carrier is the same as when a person is thirsty he wants to drink water.

These are also the memories that Brother Bazhua told Jiang He.

"I don't care whether you want to go in or not." said Bazhua. "I can't beat you. The master said that I can't use force. You decide for yourself."

He stepped aside, lowered his head to check the tip of his wings which were almost melted, and felt very distressed.

Those mumblings seemed to still linger in Jiang He's mind.

Without rejection or fear, she raised her eyes and met the eyes of those human bodies, watching them staring at her without blinking.

Or maybe, he was staring at someone else through her.

What have these "people" who are exactly like her experienced?

After a while, Jiang He's brows relaxed. The tentacles didn't want to leave her body. They were too full and wanted to sleep lazily, but Jiang He drove them out of her body again.

"If I don't make it out of the pool, I'll kill him."

Upon hearing this, the tentacles bared their teeth ferociously at Octopus.

Jiang He jumped into the pool the next moment.

As Octopus said, she did not emit rays.

But the moment she jumped into the dark red pool, all the human bodies in the pool floated towards her, surrounding her in layers.

Year 131 of the Star Calendar

"The Red Stone Galaxy is ahead. Only after I cross it can I feel at ease."

"Those bugs shouldn't go back on their word. Lao Shi, has your wife given birth?"

"No, if I don't get delayed on the road, maybe I can make it back in time." Lao Shi touched the peace knot in his pocket with a smile, "I haven't been able to go back since she became pregnant. I hope I can be with her when she gives birth."

"Of course we can. The General said that the Feilong's only mission this time is to sign a peace agreement with the Zerg. Once that's done, we can return home as quickly as possible. The Feilong is so fast that it won't take more than two weeks to get back to the capital planet."

"That's great." Lao Shi sighed, "I never thought I'd be able to drive the bugs out of the Redstone Galaxy in my lifetime. When my child is born, I'm going to brag about it to him anyway, hehehe."

"That's a must."

"Hey Yao Leng, Yao Leng, come here. Why are you looking so sullen? Come here quickly."

Yao Leng, who was about to pass by them, was grabbed by Lan Hu's arm and had to stop. "Brother Hu, what's going on?"

Lan Hu pulled him into a corner and asked, "Were you there when that bastard was courting the general yesterday?"

Yao Leng nodded, "Yes, I'm here."

"Fuck, you're actually here, how can you be so calm? Don't you have anything to say?"

Yao Leng: "It's not my turn to speak. The general directly refused."

"Tsk tsk." Lan Hu sighed with one hand on the wall and the other on his waist. "Our great general is not tempted by handsome men. He's really amazing."

Yao Leng glanced at him sideways, "Isn't it the same as you? I wasn't bewitched by the beauty either."

"What the hell? That guy is a tapeworm. He killed so many of us. I won't be bewitched by him." Lan Hu jumped up and down as if his tail had been stepped on. "I told you not to mention it. Don't mention it anymore. I don't want to think about it at all."

Just then, Brother Xiong came over, and Lan Hu waved at him. "Brother, brother, come here and listen. Yao Lengke said that the bastard really courted the general yesterday."

Hearing this, Brother Xiong looked at Yao Leng. Under the eager gazes of several people, Yao Leng had to bite the bullet and answer, "I just happened to be nearby. The general quickly declined, saying that she was not interested in such things."

Jiang He's original words at the time were: "Courtship? That's your Zerg tradition. We humans don't do that."

The man was puzzled. "You humans also reproduce through love between men and women. Isn't it courtship between men and women? How should we say that?"

Jiang He was not interested in this topic. "I understand what you mean, but I'm not interested in this kind of love between men and women."

The man asked her, "What are you interested in?"

Jiang He thought about it and found that she didn't have anything interesting for the time being. "Games."

She had seen her sister play a game in which they built houses and raised pets. There was no war or blood, so it was quite interesting.

She turned to leave, but the man grabbed the corner of her sleeve again and said, "I remember now. You humans call it marriage. I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"

"No."

Yao Leng spread his hands and said, "The general is quite resolute, and he even added that getting married won't happen to her."

Everyone was speechless and looked at Brother Xiong, "Brother Xiong, then, then the proposal ceremony you prepared..."

Brother Xiong did not respond. Based on Yao Leng's description, he imagined the expression on her face when she said those words.

He knew that she would never marry, no matter who it was. He had hoped for her before, but this time he could finally give up hope.

"No," he said. "The general doesn't want to get married. I support her."

Lan Hu had the best relationship with Brother Xiong. He put his arm around Brother Xiong's shoulders and said a few words to comfort him before returning to the dormitory.

He lives in a two-person dormitory with the weird Caihe. It's strange that Caihe hasn't come back yet. Caihe is not on duty today. This guy always stays in the dormitory when he is not on duty. Why is he nowhere to be seen today?

Lan Hu didn't think much about it. He just lay down on the bed and heard a "click" sound from the bathroom door.

Thinking it was Caihe, I was too lazy to answer this guy, so I simply turned over, closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The other person approached his bed silently, his eyes fixed on his back.

His gaze was so intense that it seemed as if it could poke a hole through his back.

Is Cai He out of his mind today? Lan Hu sat up and was about to curse when he saw someone squatting beside the bed.

It’s not Caihe, but the little princess of the Zerg tribe, Hongyu.

"Why are you here?" Lan Hu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to subdue the other party. When he saw the other party, he thought that some Zerg had sneaked into the Tianlong, and subconsciously pounced on the alarm button next to him.

"Only I, only I came to you." Hongyu bit his arm fiercely and angrily accused, "You said you wanted to marry me and went to my brother to propose marriage, why don't you keep your word?"

Lan Hu didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. He couldn't reach the alarm button, so he could only ask the other party, "How did you get on the Tianlong?"

"Why, do you think I brought a lot of people in here to plot against you?" Hongyu sneered, pulling out the nameplate from her neck and throwing it to Lanhu. "Don't worry, I'm the only one who can get on the Tianlong. I used the nameplate you gave me. Even my brother doesn't know I'm on the Tianlong right now."

Lan Hu held her back and said, "Come with me to find the general. The general will arrange a flying ship to take you back."

"I'm not leaving. You haven't replied yet. Why don't you ask my brother for marriage? You said you wanted to marry me and take me to meet your parents. You said your mother would make delicious scallion and pork dumplings for me. How could you just abandon me like that?"

"I didn't know you were from the Zerg." Lan Hu blushed, but he stiffened his neck and looked stubborn. "I thought you were human. We humans only marry humans."

The more he spoke, the more confident he became. "You killed so many of us. I have an irreconcilable feud with you. I would rather die than marry you. Stop pestering me. I'll take you to see the general and have him send you back."

Hongyu slapped Lanhu in the face.

Lan Hu glared angrily when she slapped him in the face, but he immediately lowered his eyes, clenched his fists and said, "You're pretending to be nice to me, but I won't bother with you. If you want to hit me, hit me as many times as you want. Anyway, I will never marry you."

As he spoke, he saw an opportunity to press the alarm button. Jiang He was on the bridge when he heard Qiu Fei say that a little Zerg princess had sneaked onto the Tianlong and was brought aboard.

The little princess was heroic and valiant, with an extremely arrogant look between her eyebrows. She was not afraid of Jiang He. She pointed at Lan Hu and said to Jiang He, "He is my man. I will go back only if you take him with you. Otherwise, I will not go back."

Lan Hu was compared to an object in public by her, and he was angry and ashamed. He said even more firmly: "I will never marry you even if I die."

Although Jiang He didn't understand their conflict, since Lan Hu had said so, she ordered, "Take the little princess to the conference room and call the Insect King."

After the video call was connected, Jiang He briefly told the story of the little princess on the Tianlong. The Insect King was extremely concerned about his sister and expressed his deep apologies. He hoped that the Tianlong would wait there. He immediately sent the ship closest to the Red Stone Galaxy to pick up his sister.

This request was not excessive, so the Tianlong paused in place.

Everyone was discussing whether this Insect King had any conspiracy.

Jiang He stopped everyone from talking and said, "That's not necessary."

Even if there is any conspiracy, there is no need to use it at this time.

"Turbulence!"

"Why is there a sudden turbulence in the Red Stone Galaxy?"

"The turbulence is too intense to contact rescue, and we can't send out a signal."

"We're almost out. We'll be able to shuttle out soon."

"Engine No. 1 has failed, and the Tianlong is tilting."

"The number two engine has failed and power is decreasing."

…

The white light was dazzling, and the Tianlong was caught in the turbulence. The protection of the safety shield was weakened little by little, and the Tianlong was facing disintegration at any time.

Jiang He heard the people around her crowding around her and shouting, "General, General, please get into the escape pod quickly."
