Chapter 51

Ever since Yan Xuanjin and Ling Yun confirmed their relationship, their daily lives at the base had become even closer. Aside from training, when Yan Xuanjin would remain fair and serious, the rest of the time, he could barely bring himself to be polite to Ling Yun. The reason was simply that this little kitty was so well-behaved and lovable.

A week had passed since the attack on the outer ring of the capital planet. That evening, Yan Xuanjin received another invitation from the Second Prince. He informed Lingyun of his itinerary and then entered the palace with his elk and cheetah.

"Second brother, did you call me here this time to talk about the attack on the outer ring?" Yan Xuanjin asked, putting down the teacup in his hand while sitting in the second prince's palace.

The Second Prince wasn't surprised that his younger brother had guessed the purpose of his invitation. He nodded and said, "The Zerg's purpose this time is clearly to capture the Empire's sentinels and guides. Furthermore, I've learned from the Federation that not only did this happen on the Imperial capital, but the Federation's capital and some outlying star systems were also attacked. Judging from the reports, the Zerg's goal is to capture some of the sentinels and guides."

"Their research has run into difficulties," Yan Xuanjin confidently speculated. "The Zerg's experiments in deciphering human mental power and guidance elements must have hit a bottleneck, so they chose to attack humans to obtain some real data and information."

The Second Prince nodded and looked at the elk sitting beside him. He asked, "Do you have any idea about the current progress of the Zerg's experiments? I have some information here that may be of some help."

The elk nodded.

"The military and the royal family have also gotten wind of this and are beginning to prepare for the Zerg invasion." The Second Prince took a sip of his tea and continued, "However, they still underestimate the Zerg. The plans they outlined, even to someone like me who doesn't know much about military affairs, seem rather presumptuous."

Yan Xuanjin nodded, as if remembering something, and said: "Recently, we found some things from the Source Tracing Sect. It is difficult for me to determine whether it is correct, but... if the time really comes, this may be useful." He tapped his finger on the screen of the intelligent computer, copied a file, and transferred it to the second prince via a special local area network.

After receiving it, the Second Prince immediately clicked on it. After reading the first general description, he looked at Yan Xuanjin with a serious expression.

"...They want to dominate the direction of human evolution?"

"yes."

"Ridiculous." The second prince frowned, looking extremely ugly.

"What if I tell you this is feasible?" Yan Xuanjin's expression was equally serious. He hesitated whether to tell him about it, but in the end, his will as a soldier prevailed. "...The Origin Tracing Faction's laboratory has already had a successful case."

The Second Prince's expression was startled. He asked, "Who knows about this?"

"The person in charge of the relevant work in the laboratory, a member of Dark Blade Team 1."

The Second Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that all?"

"yes."

"Fortunately, it's still under control." The Second Prince breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Is that orc... in your base now?"

"yes."

“…”

The Second Prince observed Yan Xuanjin's unpleasant expression, and the unnatural appearances of the surrounding elk and cheetahs. After a moment of silence, he stood up, walked up to Yan Xuanjin, and whispered, "Little brother, you revealed my identity without even asking for my opinion, right?"

Yan Xuanjin clenched his hands on his knees.

The Second Prince received his silent answer, sighed, and said, "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. When I get back, I'll go discuss this with them first."

Yan Xuanjin remained silent and nodded.

…

Ling Yun sat alone in the dormitory. Yan Xuanjin was not there and he felt a little bored.

Looking at the increasingly beautiful sunset outside the window, Lingyun felt that his tinnitus had improved a lot, so he decided to go out for a walk - he had been in Dark Blade for so long, but he had hardly been around Dark Blade.

So Lingyun walked out of the base and wandered through the small town where lights were gradually coming on.

The air was filled with the hustle and bustle of life, and the chestnut vendors were greeting people warmly. Lingyun went over and took one.

He didn't know how to peel it, so he bit it with his teeth.

The pointed canine teeth poked two holes in the chestnut shell, and Ling Yun sucked the delicious food inside through the two small holes.

He walked down the street looking around, and before he knew it he had wandered to the far side of the market.

He looked at the dim lights around him, and the sky darkened - it was almost night.

Ling Yun was a little lost, so he stood still and planned to use his smart brain to navigate the way back.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard behind me.

Ling Yun raised his head sharply and turned over to avoid it, but unexpectedly, after taking a step back, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

Then came a dizziness.

He fell to the ground.

The person hiding in the dark alley came out only after making sure that Ling Yun had completely fainted. He picked him up and quickly shuttled through the night, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
