Chapter 67: Frozen Zone Swarm (Part 3)
Liu San stiffened his neck, appearing fierce but weak inside.
Lin Heng didn't even raise his eyelids, his slender fingers casually fiddling with the ruby earring on his earlobe.
In the cold wind, his low, lazy voice carried unquestionable courage:
"I know the rules."
He casually took out a high-grade insect stone from the inner pocket of his coat, held it between two fingers and threw it casually, and the priceless insect stone was thrown at Liu San's feet like garbage.
"Is that enough?"
Lin Heng then opened his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
He was clearly talking to Liu San, but his eyes were looking over the other person's head, as if he was looking at some dirty garbage.
Liu San's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly tried to pick up the insect stone on the ground, but was frozen in place by Lin Heng's next words:
"If you insult the soldiers again..."
He suddenly smiled a gorgeous smile, and his fingertips gently stroked the rose whip at his waist.
"I'll use your tongue to dye my whip a new color."
Lin Heng retracted the rose whip and casually put his arm around Xie Mian's shoulders: "Come on, I'll show you where I live."
Seeing this, Xu Qi silently put on his gun and was about to go back to duty, but Lin Heng waved him away and asked him to stay.
Liu San stared at their receding backs and spat fiercely on the ground: "They are just slept-with bastards by Fu Ze, yet they dare to show off here."
He narrowed his eyes maliciously: "When Commander Song Lin takes control of the base, I will definitely taste this thorny rose..."
At this time, undercurrents were surging in the northern base.
The "equality faction" headed by Fu Ze's father Fu Linchuan advocates equal rights for ordinary people and insect-dependents; while the "privileged faction" headed by Research Minister Song Lin insists that insect-dependents should enjoy more resources.
Now that Song Lin's faction has taken control of the research institute and the right to distribute materials, the Fu family's power is losing ground.
Xie Mian followed Lin Heng through the garden path covered with ice crystals.
The garden of the three-story European-style villa was filled with roses. Even in the freezing temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius, the bright red blossoms remained vibrantly beautiful, their petals gleaming with frost.
When I opened the door, warmth mixed with the scent of roses hit me in the face.
The fireplace in the living room was burning brightly, and Fu Ze was leaning on the leather sofa reading a document. Hearing the noise, he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and looked up, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his narrow eyes behind the lenses.
He was wearing a well-ironed black turtleneck sweater with a silver rose collar pinned to his collar. An unlit cigarette was tucked between his slender fingers. He exuded a gentle yet dangerous aura.
"Are you back?"
When Fu Ze stood up, his suit pants outlined his straight long legs.
He naturally took Lin Heng's coat and glanced at everyone: "The meal is just ready."
Inside the restaurant, the table was set with a simple meal of two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes: canned beef stew with potatoes, scrambled eggs with air-dried ham, sautéed greenhouse vegetables, and pickled mushrooms. While not particularly sumptuous, the presentation was exquisite.
There was also a glass of freshly squeezed mango juice on the table. The golden liquid was swaying slightly in the glass, and a slice of lime was decorated on the rim of the glass.
On the way, Xu Qi was nervous and excited. After entering the door and seeing Fu Ze, this emotion reached its peak:
"Hello, Commander Fu!"
Fu Ze lowered his head and invited everyone to take a seat.
Xie Mian sat next to Lin Heng holding the goose Shifang. Later, he felt that the goose Shifang in his arms was too heavy, so he put it on the seat next to him.
Goose Shifang pretended to be graceful and hung her long neck, her snow-white feathers glistening like pearls under the light.
It seemed to be standing dignifiedly beside the seat, but in fact, its heart was already in turmoil - this girl forgot her husband after having a brother!
He pecked at the plate in front of him with his beak, making a clanging sound.
Lin Heng placed the mango juice in front of Xie Mian, who picked it up and drank a packet of it sweetly.
When Xie Mian saw the mango juice on the table, he knew that it was specially prepared for him by his brother.
Seeing Xie Mian smiling with his eyes curved, sipping mango juice without even glancing at him, E Shifang became even more angry, and his feathers exploded, making him look like a white fluffy ball from a distance.
"Why is the goose still on the stool? Xiao Wu, take it away!"
Fu Ze saw that Lin Heng and Xie Mian were chatting happily without even looking at him, and he felt jealous.
This Xie Mian is always trying to steal Lin Heng's attention, and he is not Lin Heng's biological brother, so he has to be on guard.
The two brothers, who had not seen each other for a long time, did not notice the turbulent situation at the dinner table at all.
As for Yang Shu and Xu Qi, they started to eat heartily when they saw the food on the table. Especially Xu Qi, who hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Although he had just eaten some bread and ham at the entrance of the base, it was nothing to him as he had been hungry for a long time.
Adjutant Wu walked over to the chair, ready to carry Goose Shifang to the garden. Seeing the situation was bad, Goose Shifang suddenly stumbled towards Xie Mian, and its snow-white wings "accidentally" knocked over the dinner plate, and it cried out in grievance: "Quack, quack, quack!"
Wife, please save me, I’m about to be taken away.
"Thank you, no thanks, he's right here."
Xie Mian stopped Adjutant Wu's actions, patted E Shifang's head gently, and picked up some vegetables from the table and put them on E Shifang's plate.
"Why did you bring a goose?"
Lin Heng smiled and asked gently.
Xie Mian wanted to explain to his brother that Goose Shifang was no ordinary goose, but since there were strangers at the table, he had no choice but to say, "It's my pet!"
"Yeah, very cute!"
Knowing that his lover was a "brother-doting maniac", Fu Ze simply stopped talking and waved his hand to let the adjutant go.
E Shifang took the opportunity to jump from the chair and into Xie Mian's arms again.
Haha, throw yourself into your wife’s arms and you will be happy!
