Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Is this the reason?

Lu Zhiluan was indeed frightened, but not because of the photo, but because of the die-hard fans of the photo.

Liu Qingsong was jumping up and down in his shop with a laptop in his hand, extremely excited.

The black and white Husky at his feet raised its head and howled along with its ecstatic owner.

Liu Qingsong pulled the dog's two front paws and spun around happily. He glanced at Lu Zhiluan next to him and wanted to pull him along. Lu Zhiluan quickly took seven steps back and declined.

"Doctor Lu, you see, I was right, wasn't I? Admiral Jing really looks like the photo on the big screen. He's slightly better than the big star Luo Yu. No, twice as good." Liu Qingsong, who had calmed down, still had a little confusion in his eyes, and his admiration was evident in his words.

Liu Qingsong: "I swore to them before, but they mocked me for using technology to create my face. How could I create natural bone structure data that cannot be replicated? I have a sharp eye. Just like the day I first saw you move in from the building opposite, I knew you were also a gift from nature, a handsome man chosen by heaven."

The corner of Lu Zhiluan's mouth twitched slightly. What strange adjectives these are.

"However, isn't it a bad idea to release the photo like this?" Liu Qingsong worried as he clicked save. "Now the pirates know what the admiral looks like. They already have a grudge against the admiral. They couldn't find him before, so now they're probably looking for him everywhere."

"But the Admiral is so powerful, a mere pirate shouldn't have any impact on him."

"But the admiral is missing..."

Lu Zhiluan just looked at him, happy at one moment and worried at another, with the expressions on his face becoming so tangled that they were almost entangled.

Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but be curious: "Why do you like General Jing so much?"

Liu Qingsong raised his head and said seriously: "It's not love, it's admiration. He is my savior. If it weren't for the admiral five years ago, my family would have been killed by the pirates who hijacked the starship."

He was lost in his memories, muttering, "At that time, I almost thought I would not see the sun tomorrow. Those pirates took the money but did not think of letting the people on the ship go. They were so crazy that they threatened the captain to drive the starship into a thunderstorm black hole, killed the captain, and left us all to die in despair."

The memory that had passed for a long time still made people feel frightened when recalling it. This was the first time that Liu Qingsong realized that he was so close to death. The thunderstorm caused the electromagnetic system of the starship to lose control. The dim internal electric light flashed, bringing about a series of sparks, and the fire quickly ignited. His ears were filled with desperate cries and screams.

"At that time, the starship was just a little bit away from the black hole vortex. If it went any further, it would be sucked in and torn apart by the thunderstorm. It was Admiral Jing who rushed over with a small team of guards, forcibly broke open the starship, and took out the passengers one by one. He didn't seem to be an admiral at the time, and it was said that he had just graduated from school."

Liu Qingsong said: "At that time, my eyes were smoked by the thick smoke and I couldn't see clearly. I only vaguely heard others calling this name and teasing him that he would be punished by the alliance. Later I learned that the situation was extremely dangerous. The starship responsible for the rescue was too large to get close to the black hole. If it got close, it would only be sucked in. After weighing the pros and cons, we were actually given up."

"We didn't expect that a trainee escort team returning from a foreign training trip happened to pass by, with Admiral Jing as the team leader. They rushed in and miraculously saved our entire ship."

Liu Qingsong's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude. "It's amazing, isn't it? The admiral was only 23 years old at the time, and he was so calm and courageous." He pursed his face in embarrassment, "We were also around 20 years old, and I could only cry loudly at the time."

Lu Zhiluan nodded. It was more than amazing. It was simply remarkable.

He is worthy of being the best man in the star field.

*

The headquarters of the Canaan Alliance.

"Commander Zhuo, here is an urgent letter that needs your attention."

"Commander Zhuo, the leader of the exploration team asked whether to continue searching near the garbage planet."

"Commander, Minister Zhang requests..."

"Commander, here are some documents that need to be signed..."

The office door opened and closed repeatedly like a spinning top; no matter how it opened, there were always people inside.

Zhuo Lan sat at his desk with a look of deep resentment on his face. He signed with a pen in his right hand and replied to messages on the computer with his left hand. He wished he could grow eight hands. There were several people queuing in front of him waiting for him to handle their business.

Zhuo Lan moved very quickly, quickly browsing the information on the document. After confirming that there were no problems, he scribbled a signature on it.

Originally he didn't have to be so busy, but once the news came out online, those under him couldn't help it. When they saw Jing Miao was not there, the resentment they felt from being suppressed in the past came out, and they tried every means to trick him, hoping that he would make mistakes so that they could have an excuse to take over the command.

Every little thing now has to be reviewed by the commander.

The reason he asked was that he was afraid of making mistakes and was unsure, but Zhuo Lan had no way of refusing.

While waiting in line, several people kept glancing at the table. There was a chubby, pretty black cat standing on the table with a serious expression, as if supervising the commander's work.

So cute.

One of them couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but before he could touch it, he heard the commander, who didn't even raise his head, warn him: "If you don't want to get beaten, keep your hands off."

The man stiffened and silently retracted his hand.

After a morning of work, Zhuo Lan finally finished the tasks at hand. He took a break and started again in the afternoon.

"Commander..."

"Commander..."

Zhuo Lan could not bear it any longer.

"What do you do as a team? You ask me for such a small thing. Are you illiterate or blind? Go back and tell your captain that you can't do it anymore!"

"You, and you too. More than 20 people are checking a few data, and you still can't figure it out after half a day. You still have the nerve to come here. Do you have any brains? Get back and recalculate. I want to see accurate data in two hours. If you can't do it, I will fire you!"

"go out!"

After a round of cursing, the office fell into complete silence. The people who were preparing to make trouble walked away dejectedly after hearing a round of unbearable cursing at the door of the office.

Zhuo Lan was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up a stack of paper to fan himself. His uniform jacket was torn off in the process of scolding, which affected his performance.

Looking at the little cat with an expression that said, "If I had known this, I would have scolded it earlier," Zhuo Lan paused and empathized with it. "I used to think that your sour face was too inhumane, but now it seems that I was short-sighted. These bastards who take advantage of others deserve to be scolded."

Jing Miao did not comment.

Back to the point, Zhuo Lan turned on his computer and opened a coordinate map with several places marked with red stars. "This is the distribution of all the orbits around the destroyed planet. I have sent people to walk the route." He pointed out the marked places and said, "These are the places where the group of people coming out of the underground base are most likely to go. The starship is too big, so they must have stopped at the abandoned planets along the way to transfer to an inconspicuous star shuttle."

Zhuo Lan continued, "Also, I roughly guessed what kind of experiment they were doing. They wanted to artificially awaken supernatural powers."

"According to the information Jiang Xi provided, they are an organization of ordinary people who long for superpowers. The star shower did not awaken them, and many of them are unwilling to accept this, believing that they should be extraordinary. So these people get together and study every day how to awaken their superpowers. Some even claim to make the star shower come again."

"To put it bluntly, superpowers are a contamination of light viruses. They tried to extract blood from those who awakened superpowers later in life, but all they got was a tube of diseased and poisonous blood. So they turned their attention to you, after all, you are the only human in the star field who has awakened superpowers naturally."

"What followed was a long-planned conspiracy. They kept brainwashing those who longed for superpowers in the dark, and they conspired together to cause the accident."

"I really didn't expect that Jiang Xi, who has reached his current position and is already outstanding enough, would be obsessed with the morbid sense of superiority brought by superpowers." Zhuo Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Jing Miao's eyes darkened slightly. He was not too surprised by this. He had five adjutants under him, and Jiang Xi was the third one selected. He was also the first adjutant who was not selected based on his supernatural powers. The confidence and ambition that radiated from him inside out were dazzling.

But things changed slowly later. When Jiang Xi found that other people were equally good or even better than himself, his mentality changed. There were always unclear emotions in his eyes. He had strong hostility towards the psychics around him. At the same time, he was very good at hiding and disguising himself. When Jing Miao noticed something unusual several times, he quickly covered it up.

Zhuo Lan: "These places on the Garbage Planet are very sparsely populated, which is very suitable for building an underground base. Moreover, your photos are all over the world now, and your fans have even launched an activity online to find Admiral Jing. The reward is very high. I took a look and found that your worth is now more valuable than that wanted star pirate leader in the star field. These people will definitely not dare to go to crowded places with your body."

"So I plan to focus on checking the desolate planets scattered along these routes. What do you think?"

Jing Miao walked to the screen and his clear cat eyes carefully scanned the route map on it.

My eyes suddenly fell on a route that had been ruled out long ago.

Zhuo Lan followed the kitten's gaze and discovered that this was a route that passed by Star 07.

Zhuo Lan: "That's unlikely. Star 07 has become a little famous because of Dr. Lu. It has a lot of traffic now."

He said calmly, "Come to think of it, you may not know this yet, right? Doctor Lu has a special ability, it's very interesting."

Jing Miao turned his head and looked at him solemnly.

So Zhuo Lan told everyone around him what happened at the Canaan banquet, where Lu Zhiluan was secretly eating melons in his heart and was heard by everyone nearby.

"But it seems that I can't bring it up in front of Dr. Lu. No matter what, I can't reveal a single word. So Dr. Lu probably doesn't know that his inner thoughts have been revealed when he gossiped about others."

Jing Miao quickly thought of the endless stream of customers in the spa every day, and fell silent strangely: "..."

Is this the reason?
