It's difficult to have both love and friendship.
Li Shu couldn't help but frown, but ultimately didn't say anything. He gave the choice to Huo Wei, letting Huo Wei decide what to do.
If Howie doesn't want to, then they are trying to think of other ways. The road is dead, but people are alive. If they work hard, they can always find other ways.
Moreover, what Li Shu was worried about was not that Huo Wei was unwilling to put this matter on himself, but that the other party took the initiative and voluntarily took on this matter, which was what he least wanted to see.
Sure enough, when Lin Yong and Chen Liang said they had no way to deal with the other two prisons, Huo Wei said, "Don't worry about the star beasts in the prisons."
Seeing Huo Wei's confident look, Lin Yong and Chen Liang were delighted. "Marshal Huo, do you have a solution? Do you need our help?"
Li Shu also raised his eyes to look at Huo Wei and asked in a low voice, "Can you handle taking all the responsibility on yourself? Otherwise, should we think of other ways?"
Huo Wei and Li Shu were in sync, understanding each other's thoughts. There was a slight smile between their eyebrows. Then they reached out and held each other's hands, saying softly, "I'm fine."
After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Lin Yong and Chen Liang, "There's no need to send those star beasts from the prison over at this time."
"Right now, no matter how serious we say the situation is, no one in the interstellar world will care. They'll just think we're exaggerating. So, we just need to follow the normal path. When the Zerg tide is about to threaten those high-ranking officials in the Empire, they'll take the initiative to resolve the problem."
Although what Howie said was very unpleasant to hear, in a sense, it was actually the truth, a fact that they were unwilling to believe.
Chen Liang finally let out a breath and whispered again, "We've already finalized the matter regarding the insect swarm, so shouldn't we find a way to save my brothers?"
Huo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where the research institute is?"
Chen Liang's face froze. "When we went in, they told us to close our eyes to maintain the safety of the institute. When I escaped, I was completely confused, so I'm not sure if I can find it myself."
"However, I will recall the route I took to escape and choose a location. I will tell you then."
Huo Wei nodded slightly when he heard this, "Okay, go back first. Once you have determined the exact location, come back to us."
Realizing Huo Wei's attitude of driving people away, Lin Yong and Chen Liang looked at each other, then turned around and left.
For a moment, Li Shu and Huo Wei were the only ones left in the huge room.
Li Shu gently stroked Huo Wei's eyebrows, his eyes full of heartache, and whispered, "Look at your dark circles. Have you not slept well recently?"
Huo Wei held Li Shu's hand, gently kissed his fingers, and whispered, "I can't sleep without you by my side."
Li Shu raised an eyebrow, "So exaggerated?"
"Can you adapt without me by your side?"
Li Shu fell silent for a moment and said nothing more. Although he was not as exaggerated as Huo Wei said, he always felt particularly empty and lonely when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
This feeling did not ease with the passage of time, but became more and more severe, making Li Shu feel very helpless.
He never knew that he could care so much about someone.
Although Li Shu didn't say anything, his expression already showed his state during this period.
Huo Wei's expression became increasingly gentle. He gently embraced Li Shu in his arms and whispered, "Wait a little longer. After we deal with the insect swarm, we can return to the Azure Star. Then, we can hand over the work to others."
Li Shu imagined a beautiful future and couldn't help but chuckle. He said, "When the time comes, we'll continue exploring places on the planet we haven't touched yet, and treat it as a trip to relax."
"good."
The atmosphere between the two became even more tender and sweet.
…
The next day, after lunch, Chen Liang and Lin Yong emerged from the bedroom, their eyes thick with dark circles. He passed a document from his laptop to Li Shu and Huo Wei, saying, "Based on my memory, I feel there are four locations on the Imperial Star that correspond to where we were at the time. We've marked all four locations and want to go check them out first to confirm the final location."
"I suggest that we split up and explore to find out the location of the research institute," Lin Yong suggested.
"Okay." Li Shu agreed. "Lin Yong, you don't have the fighting power. In that case, we'll split into three teams. You and Chen Liang will form one team, while Huo Wei and I will act separately. The three of us will try to find the real location of the research institute before the end of today."
"no!"
As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, Huo Wei on the side refused without hesitation.
Li Shu turned his head and looked at Huo Wei, "Why not?"
Huo Wei walked to Li Shu with a sullen face and said, "Although your current martial arts skills are good, you are still a little short of strength when facing those Star Beast masters. Besides, you are not familiar with the Emperor Star, so let's go together!"
Li Shu: "...I'm probably not as bad as you say."
Howie narrowed his eyes and continued, "What if you find the research institute and they send a large force after you? Also, what if they use high technology to explore your location? I know you well, but apart from the Star Brain and spacecraft, you don't understand other technologies. So how can you escape their encirclement?"
"The most important thing is," Howie said seriously, "I can't concentrate on my mission without you by my side."
Li Shu: "..."
What the other party said were problems that he had not realized. Although he was a little disappointed that he could not complete the task alone, what Howie said was right. If something went wrong with a person, he would fall into a state of isolation and helplessness.
So, at Howie's suggestion, he finally chose to leave with Howie.
The four people were divided into two groups. Li Shu and Huo Wei determined where they needed to go and went back to the room to pack their luggage.
Li Shu picked up the long sword that Huo Wei gave him, and then left Lin Yong's room with Huo Wei.
The two of them first went to the east, the closest place to them. It was a remote place surrounded by desert. The scorching sun made Li Shu sweat profusely. "Now I'm a little doubtful about the authenticity of Chen Liang's choice of address. Even if they wanted to find a secluded place, they shouldn't have chosen a place like this."
In a place like this, where the scorching heat can kill people, how could anyone have the mind to conduct experiments!
