Chapter 55
The pure mental power was like a surging ocean wave, one after another, continuously striking the barrier outside the differentiation chamber.
The extremely strong shield that could even withstand the bombardment of powerful destructive weapons showed signs of instability in the middle of differentiation, and it persisted until the later stages, shaky and on the verge of collapse.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka…”
The clear shattering sound was heard by every detector, almost like a life-threatening rope, making them open their eyes wide in horror.
"The shield is about to break! Get into the backup shield room!"
"Hurry! Stop taking that machine and run!!!"
The dean suddenly took a few steps back and yelled at the still confused inspector. He instantly spread out the bony wings on his back and dived into the nearby protective room.
Click, click, click, click…
In an instant, the small crack spread into a complex spider web, and the next wave of mental power surged to its highest point, and then fell heavily -
"Bang!!!"
The Empire's newest and most advanced protective shield was shattered into millions of crystal fragments.
That wave of mental power was only blocked for a moment before it suddenly poured down.
The doctor, who had no time to run, collapsed to the ground and watched helplessly as the mental force that was powerful enough to distort space instantly came before his eyes, his mind going blank.
Finished...
He will definitely die today...
But before he closed his eyes and waited for death, his whole body suddenly felt warm.
It was as if a mighty warm spring breeze blew on my face, without any coldness or pain, or fear or despair.
It was as if every inch of my milky white soul was gently brushed, and at that moment I received eternal redemption and healing, so much so that I was immersed in it for a long time and could not come back to my senses at all.
Boom——
The spiritual power passed over the female insect, like an endless torrent of water that broke through a dam, gradually submerging the vast medical area. Even after covering an entire city area, it continued to expand outward.
"Open a new shield! Don't let it spread any further!"
"What does this feel like?!"
"... Ah, so comfortable... I feel like I can lie down and fall asleep right now..."
"No! It's no use opening the hospital. We need to contact the administrator of the second city! Let him contact the first and third city to open the shield together!"
"What's going on with this mental power...wait, has Kabaiwei's mental power rampage subsided?!"
“Beep, beep, beep—Warning! The value has exceeded the maximum limit! Warning! The value…”
This mental power obviously caused a lot of chaos, but because the mental power did not contain any lethality and even had magical healing effects, the situation could still be barely controlled.
Perhaps it sensed the panic, but the mental force suddenly stopped, like a fluffy puppy halfway through a run, wagging its tail and lying down obediently, no longer spreading outward.
The dean, who was rushing to the front under pressure, held the instrument in his arms, and the expression on his face changed from solemn to dull, and he murmured in disbelief.
“Stop, stop…?”
The threat was lifted, and the machine that was shaking its pointer wildly finally couldn't bear it anymore. The screen exploded with a bang, and a burnt smell emanated.
The scene remained silent for a long time, and finally, an inspector stepped forward hesitantly to check the test report of the male insect, and shouted, "This data?!"
The other insects also responded, straightening their tilted detection equipment, and for a while they cried out in surprise—
"It's far beyond Class A!"
"No, that's not right. This machine can detect a maximum value of about fifty times the A-level mental power, but now it has exploded?!"
"This is the limit of the detection equipment, but not... the limit of this male insect..."
They looked at each other for a moment, and an extremely absurd but unbelievable idea emerged, but they didn't even dare to say the word.
Until the dean said in a hoarse voice, "Go, bring out the S-class detector."
…
Originally, we had already made a foolproof plan. Not to mention just a D-level male insect, we were more than enough to deal with the secondary differentiation of an A-level male insect.
But who could have imagined that it would cause such a huge chaos. In the face of absolute strength, all preparations were like paper that could be torn at the slightest poke and were completely useless.
That mighty spiritual force was lying in the second city area. Although it was very obedient and did not move again, it was not retracted either. The news that was originally intended to be kept secret suddenly leaked out in all directions.
Amid the chaos, a secret message was transmitted silently.
The back garden of the Duke's Palace.
A finger carelessly fiddled with the delicate petals, ruthlessly squeezing out the bright red juice.
A delicate rose that had been carefully cultivated was instantly destroyed into pieces.
Cano glanced at the dirt on his fingertips, sighed softly, picked up the scissors beside him and cut the rose in half, and the rose fell on his hands lying on the ground.
"Take him away, and after the caning, starve him for three days."
The slightly trembling sub-female pressed her forehead to the ground and was taken away by the guards who came up, pulling her arms. She made no sound during the whole process, as if she was already accustomed to enduring this kind of treatment.
“Beep beep.”
There was a faint sound coming from the computer. Cano leaned back in the exquisitely woven rocking bed, lowered his legs and swayed slowly, completely ignoring the new message.
After a long while, he lazily woke up his computer.
The message was very brief, but the name mentioned in it made his expression freeze instantly, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Yeah."
"Secondary differentiation...Super A-level male?"
He spoke each word with pause, almost crushing it between his teeth.
"Why is this male insect so haunting? It's just a cheap piece of trash picked up from the battlefield."
Thinking of the explosive news three days ago, Ganuo's expression twisted for a moment.
Just on the day of his return, the eldest prince, who had been accumulating power for a long time, began to exert his strength. Those underground industrial chains that were developing well were suddenly disrupted and are now in trouble.
And this is just the power of the eldest prince. If we wait until that guy recovers completely...
Those things that were developed secretly only after the death of "Admiral Monte" was confirmed will definitely be eradicated.
An inexplicable fear lingered in his heart, making him particularly irritable and angry these days.
"Why... you have already died gloriously with a good reputation, why do you still insist on crawling out of hell? Die, die, die, die..."
Ganuo paced back and forth anxiously, biting his nails nervously, but at some point he remembered something and stopped abruptly.
"Wait...why did these two things happen so closely together?"
Suddenly realizing a possibility, he showed an expression of disbelief and sudden realization, and eagerly took out his laptop to contact Chong, who was responsible for the incident that year.
The news that followed also shattered his last bit of hope.
——【Nio has been convicted, and all his property has been seized and liquidated.】
It was that guy's style to act swiftly and without giving any time for reaction, and it was obviously for the male insect named Yael.
Why do they know each other?! What is their relationship...Does it have anything to do with the current situation?
Realizing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Gano finally lost his patience and strode into the mansion, "Father!"
At this time, the hospital.
The instrument hidden deep in the hospital's storage room was carefully moved out. It was covered with a thick layer of dust and looked like an antique from the last century.
The last time it was used was a really long time ago. The Zerg Clan has not seen an S-rank male crown for who knows how long, and has long accepted the fact of its gradual decline.
The dean could hardly control his excited hands. He carefully brushed off the dust and installed new energy.
He took a few deep breaths and pressed the start button.
"Beep! Loading energy..."
"Loading completed! Level detection started - successfully capturing the target's mental power! Laying out the information network..."
Amidst the tense and excited gazes, the numbers on the instrument screen kept changing and quickly broke through Level A!
Even the momentum continues to soar upwards, getting closer to the red line at the top.
“It’s almost there, it’s almost there…it’s almost there!”
“Keep going up aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Beep——”
The crazy-growing numbers finally slowed down and finally froze completely. The instrument lit up a row of green lights, displaying the final test results.
"Test result: S-level."
"Congratulations on the birth of another S-rank His Majesty!"
A mechanical voice without any ups and downs announced the result and even said congratulations, but the insect that had just been squatting in front of the instrument with great excitement was now unprecedentedly quiet and stagnant.
For ten minutes, no bug spoke.
But at a certain second, huge screams and cheers suddenly rang out, one floor after another, one building after another, as if contagious, and quickly broke out into incomparably warm and exciting cheers.
——It could almost shake the distant sky above.
At 14:48:56 on the afternoon of January 1, 9038 in the star calendar, after a lapse of six hundred years, a new S-class male crown was born in the Zerg Clan.
And at this moment, they witnessed history.
*
“Beep, beep…”
A faint sound sounded above his head, and Yael opened his eyes in a warm feeling.
What he saw before his eyes was a distorted and blurry scene. He opened his mouth unconsciously, but a string of bubbles came out.
Yael: “?”
He blinked and realized that he was lying in a cabin.
There were a few flashes of red light in the dim scene above my head, and the gentle waves in the cabin brushed over my whole body, bringing a relaxing and tingling feeling.
As if something was triggered, a team of doctors rushed into the ward and performed well-trained operations for a while. Most of the liquid quickly decreased, and the door in front of them slowly opened.
Yael sat up dazedly, and the leading doctor looked extremely nervous, leaning over and asking softly.
“冕下，您現在感覺怎麽樣？”
冕下？什麽冕下？
身體和精神都空前舒适，耶爾捏了下眉心，完全清醒過來了。
他掃視了一圈這個房間，總覺得莫名眼熟，但又确實是陌生的，最後他的視線落在醫生胸口的标志上。
第二城區中心醫院。
“立刻前往……主星……第二城區醫院……二次分化……雄主，您知道我是誰嗎？”
一瞬間，那些模糊而零散的聲音和記憶碎片，在腦海裏連成了一條完整的線索。
耶爾瞳孔微縮，頓時明白了目前的處境。
“您還好嗎？有沒有哪裏不舒服？”
眼前的雄蟲久久不說話，伯德神色愈發緊張起來。
所有數值都在正常範圍內，但難保不會有什麽遺漏的地方，一切還是以雄蟲為準。
“不……我挺好的。”
耶爾回神，遲疑了一下後又道，“西澤在哪裏？”
“西澤？”
伯德重複了一下這個名字，臉上露出疑惑的神情，“這個蟲是您的誰嗎？我們并沒有見到過。”
仿佛怕自己生氣，眼前的醫生趕緊又道，“但醫院配備有最先進的身份識別和查找系統，如果冕下需要，我們可以立刻幫您查找。”
不應該沒見過的。
但耶爾思忖了會，還是沒有繼續追問，只是搖了搖頭。
“不必。”
那個艙體裏應該是頂級的療養液，一并配套着特殊材質的病號服，能在液體中保持幹爽和保護皮膚，但身上還是不免黏糊糊的。
洗漱完換上新的衣服，耶爾又被請到了一間大得出奇的vip病房中。
窗明幾淨，處處彰顯低調奢華，在裏面呆上一會感覺呼吸都在燃燒錢。
“S級？”
耶爾懷疑自己聽錯了，“真的嗎？”
“是、是真的！”
伯德因為緊張說話都有點磕巴，明明面對再大的場面都能冷靜，此刻卻根本說不出漂亮話來。
“您是蟲族唯一的S級冕下！”
眼前的雄蟲确認後卻沒有露出什麽開心的表情，反而有些悵然似的。
耶爾垂眸出神了一瞬，又彎了彎眼笑道，“知道了。”
其實他不覺得這是什麽好事。
之前被從戰場撿回來時，只是看起來有A級的潛質，病房就被別有用心的貴族踩爆了門檻，完全不得清淨。
唯一的S級……
他暗中微嘆了口氣，以後恐怕有的煩了。
“還有什麽要檢查的嗎？我有點困了。”
伯德原本還沉醉在雄蟲的笑中，聞言立刻合上手裏的病歷本，恭敬地鞠了一躬。
“沒有了，冕下好好休息，随時可以通過床鈴叫我！”
他輕手輕腳地退出病房關上了門，一直到離開這條走廊才停下。
——然後就忍不住激動地往空中打了幾拳，加速在空地跑動蹦跳了好幾下，又猛地親了手裏的資料好幾口。
啊啊啊啊啊！！
是S級雄蟲冕下的珍貴數據！居然真的拿到手了！！強烈建議院長當成鎮院之寶！！！
耶爾冕下真的好……好那個啊啊啊啊啊！！！一生推！一生推！！
剛才進行的檢查非常繁瑣，全程他都膽戰心驚雄蟲會不耐煩，然後随手點幾個雌蟲去受罰，或者幹脆就甩手不幹了。
但一直到檢查結束，眼前的雄蟲雖然神色淡淡，就再沒有其他訴求，配合着完成了所有項目，甚至還……
還會笑着說謝謝啊啊啊！！
伯德滿心驚嘆，只是強撐着沒有露出失禮的表情，一直到現在才有機會發洩出內心的激蕩來。
路過的護士奇怪地看了他好幾眼，他才意猶未盡地停下動作，但臉上嘿嘿嘿的笑卻是半點止不住的。
“不行，不能磨蹭了，要趕緊把資料給院長和上将送去。”
……
病床旁緊靠着窗，可以看見外面晴朗的天色，下方是一片小花園，有幾個幼崽正在裏面玩鬧，看起來熱鬧又生機勃勃。
耶爾托着腮，漫不經心地看着外面。
從剛才醫生的回答中，可以知道距離他度過二次分化已經過去大半個月，這期間他一直在醫院中昏迷不醒，修複着受損的身體和精神力。
當時蟲多口雜，他沒問太多，但這些信息也基本足夠了。
而他提前進入二次分化的原因，自然和那些噩夢般的回憶有關。
湯圓……015……
耶爾怔怔出神了一會，無意識垂眸看向搭在被子上的左手，神情中閃過一絲難過。
他現在，真的很想看到西澤。
二次分化期間他神志不清，雖然和雌蟲進行了一番親密接觸，卻沒有空餘好好說一說話，而長長的一覺睡醒後，雌蟲仍然不在身邊。
“嘀嘀。”
光腦響起消息提示，把耶爾倏地喚回神，轉頭看向一旁的床頭櫃。
西澤。
他緊盯着那閃爍的紅光，腦海裏被雌蟲的名字占據。
給西澤買了光腦後，他第一時間就和雌蟲交換了通訊方式，偶爾也會互通消息。
耶爾喉結輕顫，深吸口氣做了下心理準備，将光腦拿起來，喚醒。
【阿德萊德：？你蟲呢？】
【布達：閣下？最近戰事吃緊，您有沒有去安全的地方避風頭？請一定要注意安全啊！】
【拉米：最近好亂！！！閣下在家裏不要出去啊，家裏有沒有囤糧，需不需要幫忙呢？】
【阿德萊德：聽說艾塔爾遭遇了襲擊，已經淪為戰場，你還好嗎？？如果需要幫助把地址共享給我，我去接你。】
【伊萊恩：閣下？！您現在怎麽樣，還在艾塔爾嗎？！您要不要暫時來醫院的防空洞避難？！】
【……】
不是西澤。
耶爾眸底難以抑制地滑過一絲失望，但很快又彎了彎唇，給來自各方的關心逐一回了消息。
不得不說，這些熟悉的消息讓他肩膀微松，悄無聲息地撫平了那一點來到陌生境地的惶恐。
終于回複完消息，他切到和西澤的聊天頁面上。
上一條消息還是一個月前，西澤讓他買點面粉回來，然後給他包小籠包吃……按照他的描述，雌蟲學着做了很多他曾經喜歡吃的食物。
但遲疑了一會，耶爾還是合上了光腦。
西澤現在不知道什麽情況，貿然發消息不知道會不會壞事，反正遲早都要見到的，不差這一會。
但為什麽那個醫生說沒有見過西澤？
這個邏輯完全不通。
但很快，另一種可能電光火石般閃過腦海，但還不等深想，病房門就傳來輕輕的叩擊。
“冕下？我能進來嗎？”
有點熟悉的聲音。
耶爾斂去眸底的沉思，将光腦藏在被子下，“進。”
門把手轉動，一只黑色的皮靴踏入病房中，再然後是一身利落整肅的軍裝。
而很快，視野中出現一張棱角分明且莫名眼熟的臉。
“好久不見，冕下。”
白朗反手關上門，大步走到床前敬了個禮，笑着問候道，“您終于醒了，有沒有覺得哪裏不舒服？”
“好久不見……？”
耶爾凝視着他，試探着詢問道，“我們在哪裏見過嗎？”
“您可能忘了，之前星盜襲擊艾塔爾星，軍隊前去營救，在那輛救護車中……”
耶爾順着回想了一下，神情有些恍然，“想起來了，不好意思啊。”
白朗低咳一聲，提示完後自我介紹道，“怪我，一直沒好好介紹自己。”
“我叫白朗，本身軍銜中将，擔任上将的副官幾十年了，也算能厚臉皮自稱一句上将的心腹，您直接叫我的名字就好。”
“總之，恭喜冕下晉升S級！”
耶爾先是說了一句謝謝，随後又遲疑地道，“你說的上将是？”
什……等等……
白朗臉上的笑幾乎一瞬間凝固，呲着的大牙慢慢收了回去。
等等等等……眼前的狀況是怎麽回事？！
上将還沒有告訴雄蟲自己的身份嗎？他以為這已經不是什麽秘密了！！
壞了。
由上将自己說還算是坦誠，被毫不相幹的自己捅破算怎麽回事啊啊啊啊？！！
空氣好像凝固了一瞬，下一秒，一道急速的黑影沖到病床對面的臺面上，拿起了一個黑色遙控器。
啪！
一塊清晰而巨大的投影憑空出現，正對着病床上的雄蟲，白朗懷疑自己簡直用了此生最厚的臉皮，進行了最尴尬的話題轉移。
“病房裏面肯定很無聊吧！冕下可以看看最新的電影解悶……呵呵呵……您喜歡看什麽類型的呵呵呵呵……”
“……”
軍雌的反應完全驗證了他的猜想。
但看着這位白副官狂冒冷汗，拼命轉移話題試圖翻篇的緊張樣子，耶爾嘆了口氣，還是沒有追問讓他為難，配合着擡起眼看向屏幕。
投影裏前一場電影剛剛播放完，切換到了新聞聯播，一陣嘈雜的聲音頓時響徹整個病房，混亂的問答中夾雜着快門聲和話筒的嗡鳴。
“……可以講述一下事情的始末嗎？關于萊米爾戰役後，您到底……”
“在您犧牲後，帝國已經封您為榮譽元帥，同時安托上将也頂替了您的位置，請問您現在具體是什麽定位呢……”
"… Admiral Monte, you never showed up in the media before. Was there any reason for that? Did you have any special considerations for coming to the public after your sudden return this time?"
"Admiral!"
"Admiral Monte!"
Bai Lang's expression was completely frozen. He suddenly remembered that today was the day of the press conference, so even if the admiral knew the news of the male insect's awakening, he would not be able to return in time.
He turned his head stiffly and clearly heard the sound of his neck cracking. Who else was standing in the middle of the press conference if not his own admiral?
The male insect on the other side gradually showed an epiphany, and finally realized something that made him feel hopeless.
"Hilzer Mount."
Yael stared at the military girl on the screen, then moved his eyes to the folded name tag on the table in front of him and read the name on it in a low voice.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, his face expressionless.
“…So his name isn’t Xi Ze.”
Click.
Bai Lang was completely petrified.
……ah???
ah??????
What's going on?! What's going on?!
Although I can understand intellectually that I made up a pseudonym so that I couldn't be recognized, but in a situation like this, being caught off guard and discovered is super embarrassing ahh ...
This time, it's really, completely, finished.
The author has something to say:
Finally got exposed, hahaha, it's a bit sour
The general was about to tell Ye Ye in person, but his cover was exposed unexpectedly, and his adjutant turned into a screaming chicken (!!!)
Someone come hug Adjutant Bai, he's about to break into pieces (嘤嘤嘤)
ps: A small setting, Xierze and Xi Ze, in fact, only the word Ze has the same pronunciation, Xi and Xi are different in the Zerg language, it is difficult to associate them together (stand)
