Chapter 23 Counterattack (Secondary couples appear one after another to control Ji Yao; Chu Jing...)
Ji Yao looked at Lu Qianxue standing at the front and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Since she has the courage to stand outside the warship, how can she, as the commander-in-chief of Hiteas, stand behind the scenes?" She released Mo Zhiyan, glanced at the bodyguards, and picked out a few who were preparing to board a small warship to face Lu Qianxue directly.
As Ji Yao passed Xu Lingzhao, she paused slightly and looked at him, saying, "You, go too."
"yes."
Ji Yao walked through the corridor. Xu Lingzhao glanced at the bodyguards beside her. Including her, there were five people in total, all of whom were Alphas with mental strength of 2S. Fortunately, they could be easily dealt with.
Stepping inside the small warship, there was also a pilot. Ji Yao sat in the co-pilot's seat, lighting a cigar. There was still some distance between her and Lu Qianxue; it would take three minutes to get on the warship.
But Ji Yao turned her seat around and sat lazily in the passenger seat. The smoke rings she exhaled slowly dissipated in the air. Her eyes were full of disdain and even a hint of mockery as she looked at Xu Lingzhao. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice echoed like a ghost in the warship: "Stop pretending, Xu Lingzhao."
This sentence is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
"Don't even think about killing me. Look at this." Ji Yao smiled. The display screen in front of her showed Chu Jingze, who had fainted, tied to a chair, with a gun barrel pressed against his forehead and wounds on his face.
Xu Lingzhao slowly unclenched her fist. At that moment, she knew she had lost; she had been too arrogant. Time seemed to stand still. Ji Yao stood up and walked to her side: "You are strong, but you trust others too easily."
Ashes fell, the small warship came to rest in the dazzling universe. It turned out that a net had been laid all along. Ji Yao looked at her: "You probably don't want to see your lover, your best friend, die in front of you, do you?"
"As long as you die, they can all live. I, Ji Yao, am not a despicable person. I mean what I say."
Xu Lingzhao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, golden light burst forth from them. Her instantaneous physical spiritual power pierced through the temples of the others like sharp arrows, finally stopping in front of Ji Yao's vital point. She slowly said, "As long as you die, they can all live."
Faced with this sudden change, Ji Yao did not panic: "If I die, the entire Pasifica will be buried with me."
"I didn't mean for you to die." Xu Lingzhao spread his spiritual power, and the golden spiritual power spread throughout the entire warship. Then, like a flood, it entered Ji Yao's sea of consciousness, breaking through the layers of defense outside her sea of consciousness.
Xu Lingzhao coldly watched her, reading her memories and mentally controlling her. In a moment, Ji Yao became a puppet. But Xu Lingzhao was not feeling well. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She felt her mind was in turmoil. She felt all the memories in her brain piled up together. For a moment, Xu Lingzhao did not know who she was.
She even believed herself to be Ji Yao.
Xu Lingzhao forcefully suppressed the side effects of mind control, manipulating Ji Yao to release Chu Jingze and safely send him back to Pasifica.
They returned to the command room, where everyone saw Ji Yao arrive and asked her what to do next. As usual, she arrogantly replied, "No fighting today. I've found Xu Lingzhao."
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhiyan frowned: "Today is the best time, to withdraw the troops like this..." Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yao interrupted him, giving him a sidelong glance: "Since when did it become your place to interfere with my decisions?"
Upon hearing this, the others who had been hesitant to speak fell silent. All the warships and the Zerg army stopped approaching and retreated. Xu Lingzhao looked at Lu Qianxue, who was pale-faced, through the command screen, a look of astonishment flashing across his face.
Lu Qianxue had expected a fierce battle today, but to her surprise, the enemy withdrew easily. There was only one reason: Xu Lingzhao had intervened. Lu Qianxue returned to the main starship, clutching her shoulder in pain. Ling Qianzhu grabbed her wrist, watching the retreating rebels: "Go to the treatment pod."
"Has Chu Jingze been found?"
"Found it."
Inside Ji Yao's office.
Xu Lingzhao sat in the seat that originally belonged to Ji Yao. She looked at the documents in her hand for a long time, then looked at the "well-behaved" Ji Yao sitting opposite her: "Tell me, what would happen if I destroyed all your hard work?"
"What can I do? I'm just a puppet now. Who knew you, Xu Lingzhao, had such extraordinary abilities?" Ji Yao didn't bother to open her eyes. She leaned back in her chair, completely indifferent: "Kill me or do whatever you want."
“You’re quite carefree.” Xu Lingzhao’s face revealed a meaningful smile. “However, your life has been quite eventful.”
"Yeah, I'm tired of living." Ji Yao slightly opened her eyes, and the two confronted each other, neither willing to give in.
Xu Lingzhao discovered that each biochemical base was equipped with nuclear-powered weapons for emergency situations. The activation button was even located in Ji Yao's office. As long as she verified her identity and pressed that button, all the biochemical bases would be destroyed instantly.
She used to firmly believe that the bio-base must be destroyed, but if it could be taken over for her own use, wouldn't it be a powerful tool to deal with the Zerg in the future? The entire human race is constantly in conflict, while the Zerg's power is quietly growing.
Now is not the time for internal strife. Ji Yao is a rare talent. She has the ability to get the other three military regions and the Federation to cooperate with her in less than a month. She is very capable.
Xu Lingzhao put down the documents in his hand and said seriously, "I will not kill you, and I will preserve your rights."
"You're so kind?" Ji Yao finally opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Lingzhao who had usurped her place, and continued, "My Omegas and my children all have to stay."
...? Xu Lingzhao found Ji Yao's expression strangely humorous at this moment. She said in a deep voice, "I am not interested in your private life, but your life and death are in my hands. Transfer the highest authority over all biochemical bases to me."
"Fine. You really trust me so much that I won't do anything underhanded?" Ji Yao looked at the person opposite her.
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust." Xu Lingzhao slightly raised his eyes to look at her: You are now completely under my control, so of course I trust you.
Ji Yao stood up, walked to Xu Lingzhao's side, picked up the water glass on the table and filled it with hot water. Under the warm steam, she revealed a playful smile: "How do you deal with traitors? Ai, the fact that they knew you were in Sitias and knew your plans is all thanks to your traitor in Pasifika."
Xu Lingzhao leaned back in the soft chair, tapping his fingers on the table as if making a decision: "Nothing to do, just execute them all."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really ruthless." Ji Yao smiled, her eyes narrowing as if she were watching a grand show. "But if you didn't have such extraordinary abilities, you would have died at my hands long ago."
"I can kill you right now. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll get rid of all your Omegas." Xu Lingzhao glanced at her, closed his eyes, and said, "Start preparing."
"Am I now your subordinate?"
"Otherwise what?"
"OK."
Hearing her submissive words, Xu Lingzhao's lips curled up slightly. He opened his eyes a little and looked at her working diligently on her personal terminal. She was not old, but she had quite a few children.
Inside the Pasifica ward.
Chu Jing lay pale on the hospital bed, his forehead wrapped in gauze. He looked fragile and pitiful.
Lu Qianxue reviewed his medical report, her finger hovering over the light screen: "Mental impairment, amnesia, and depression." She closed the screen and looked at Ling Qianzhu sitting on a plate. A moment of self-reproach flashed through her eyes as their gazes met. She had promised Xu Lingzhao she would take care of Chu Jingze, but now he was like this.
Ling Qianzhu sighed, "Zhaozhao is infiltrating the rebel army, which is also like licking blood off a knife, but..." She patted Lu Qianxue's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself too much. Zhaozhao won't blame you. We all tried our best, but we couldn't stop the traitor."
“Yes, traitor. I’ve known her since childhood, but it’s as if I’ve never known her at all. She most likely told the rebels all our plans back then.” Lu Qianxue rubbed her temples, her eyes were dark and swollen. “However, judging from the rebels’ behavior, Zhao Zhao has escaped danger.”
Ling Qianzhu nodded: "I wonder how Ning is doing. She was..." She didn't finish her sentence. The entire team she sent out was wiped out because of an inside leak.
"Don't worry, she'll be safe. Trust Zhaozhao." When Lu Qianxue said this, she wasn't really sure herself. They couldn't contact Xu Lingzhao in real time, or even at all, to reduce the risk of exposure. He Zaining's situation was probably not optimistic.
"What should we do after we find her?" Ling Qianzhu looked at a photo on her personal terminal. Back then, they were all carefree, enjoying one of the few leisurely moments the five of them had together.
“Let Zhaozhao decide,” Lu Qianxue said wearily. “How cruel of her to treat Zaining like this.”
(This is a separator, not an ellipsis!)
In the dimly lit room.
He Zaining forced herself to open her eyes. "Hiss!" Her head hurt terribly. She never expected to encounter such a pervert. She looked down at the person in her arms, trying to push him away but unable to. She had a restraint ring around her neck and had been drugged and marked by this person.
She felt completely drained. She pushed his head with her hand: "Get up, Ji Siyu, have you no shame? Doing this again." After a few pushes, the person in her arms finally woke up. Ji Siyu slowly opened his eyes and looked at He Zaining's taut jawline: "What? It's so noisy. I want to go back to sleep."
"You gave me aphrodisiacs again, you shameless person." He Zaining felt like she was going to die of anger. In just a few days, not only did she lose her virginity, but she was also forced to perform marking acts with this person.
"Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?" Ji Siyu's voice was hoarse as she stared at He Zaining's alluring face and kissed her cheek. She then leaned close to her ear and said, "I cried until my voice was hoarse yesterday, but you didn't stop."
"You...! Shut up, it's because of you..." He Zaining blushed instantly upon hearing his shameless words. This was the first time she had ever seen such a shameless person. Even though she was a prisoner, she still had human rights! As a result, this Ji Siyu seemed to be obsessed with her, doing shameful things every day.
Then, after being single for 24 years, she couldn't resist... and marked him for life. But she felt it wasn't voluntary. He Zaining comforted herself, saying that once she escaped, she would definitely take Ji Siyu with her. She would treat him the way he treated her!
Wait... no! He Zaining closed her eyes. She felt her face burning hot, so she simply closed her eyes tightly.
Looking at her like this, Ji Siyu found her extremely cute. He had fallen in love with this female Alpha the first time he saw her; she was so innocent. He slightly raised himself up, leaned down and kissed He Zaining's soft lips, chuckling softly, "What, don't you like me? I'm so beautiful, hmm?"
He Zaining turned her head, her thoughts led by him. He was practically a succubus, but... her team only survived because she begged Ji Siyu, and he was actually a nice guy... and beautiful too... He Zaining secretly opened one eye to look at Ji Siyu, only to find his beautiful face so close.
"What, are you peeking at me? You're looking at me openly, aren't you?" Ji Siyu smiled ambiguously, lightly touching her lips with her finger. How amusing.
