Chapter 73 Aihua, get out alive
But the question is how to catch it?
The yellow bugs are small, fast, and good at hiding. Wherever they pass, all signals will be disturbed.
There is no trace of them at all.
Su Wudeng fell into deep thought. The yellow bugs clearly wanted to escape, so where would they escape to?
The safest place must be the base camp of the bugs, which is the mother nest of the bugs outside the etheric front.
The target is determined, but there are so many routes to the mother nest, how to know which one the yellow bugs will choose?
"As long as they pass by, they will leave traces..." Su Wudeng suddenly thought of a way.
"Analyze all networks immediately, and mark any places with signal delays!"
Although the yellow bug can interfere with the signal, on the other hand, as long as there is interference, there will be anomalies. They can completely track the yellow bug along the abnormal signal.
If it does not interfere, it will be even better. Track its whereabouts directly.
Lei Jing also quickly provided a plan, "Shopkeeper Su, General Chu found the yellow bug in the Broken Star Zone. Will they return along this road?"
This possibility is very high. The etheric front is actually as solid as a rock. Even if there is interference from the yellow bug, it is still difficult for the insect tribe to cross under the layers of defense.
The Star Shattering Zone was a road they had carefully selected and planned for a long time before opening up. This was the best option for them to retreat.
Su Wudeng nodded, "You are very likely to say that..." But then her expression changed, "Not good! Aihua and the others are in danger!"
"Let's move quickly!"
Lei Jing had told her about the situation in the Star Shattering Zone before, where there were rocks everywhere and particle storms were constant, but the yellow bugs were able to pass through the Star Shattering Zone, which meant that they must have a way to avoid or even manipulate the particle storms.
Now these two yellow bugs are likely to trigger a particle storm again if they pass by, and Chu Tianhe and Aihua will be in danger!
Lei Jing also realized the urgency of the situation and immediately began to track the location of the abnormal signal. "Shopkeeper Su, I got it!"
Su Wudeng immediately looked at Lei Jing's screen, which had a simulated line. Most of it was a virtual dashed line, but a small part was a solid line.
This was a possible route deduced from the abnormal signal point, and the end point was the Shattered Star Region!
Her heart sank, "Chase!"
...
The Shattered Star Region.
The particle storm had already arrived, as if it had been calculated in advance, and it started just as Lei Jing and the others left.
Behind a very small piece of gravel, Chu Tianhe and Aihua cautiously poked their heads out, watching the nearest storm begin to move and leave in the opposite direction.
Although the storm was gone, the strange whistling sounds continued, and the smoke and dust were flying, covering most of the vision.
"We can stay here for another minute." Chu Tianhe whispered, slightly relieved.
His military uniform had been torn to pieces by the storm, and his face and body were covered with traces of the storm. The blood mixed with dust made him look miserable.
But he was lucky to be alive now.
If he hadn't keenly discovered the irregular patterns between the storms, they would have been swallowed by the storm long ago.
No one can survive in a particle storm, this is a fact known to everyone.
"Aihua, are you okay?" Chu Tianhe looked at Aihua beside him. Aihua's body was strong enough, her movements were quite agile, and with the protection of the bamboo power, her situation was much better than his.
But the bamboo power had protected them too many times, and Aihua's mental strength had been mostly consumed. Now she looked a little tired.
She shook her head, "It's okay."
Watching the time go by every second, according to his previous calculations, the rubble is no longer safe now, and they must find another place to hide.
But hiding is not the end, the only way is to return to the Vanguard. He looked at the Vanguard floating in the air in the distance, which had been hit by the rubble and was mostly broken, and his heart sank.
It couldn't hold him and Aihua, and the power source had been destroyed, so it couldn't be started at all.
Unless... there is an external force.
Chu Tianhe lowered his head, and when the countdown was five seconds, he suddenly touched Aihua's head.
He said, "Aihua is so smart, she will definitely fly a flying machine."
Aihua raised her head suddenly. What does it mean
? Why did you say this? Why fly a flying machine?
It was so shocked that it forgot to open Chu Tianhe's claws that were touching its head.
The countdown ended.
Chu Tianhe's right hand instantly transformed, and a mecha-like form instantly wrapped around half of his body. Aihua recognized that this was his mechanical pet 'Candle'.
He had already reached the soul bond realm of mechanical pets, and could merge with the consciousness of mechanical pets, and become one with man and machine, but Candle had been broken into pieces in the previous battle, and now only half of it was left with cracks everywhere.
Chu Tianhe smiled at it, and then before it could react, he activated his right hand, and a powerful force was instantly transmitted to Aihua, and the two flew to the location of the vanguard aircraft.
Aihua immediately realized what he wanted to do, and said angrily in a terrified voice: "You are crazy! The vanguard aircraft can no longer be started! Let's hide, hide first!" Aihua
didn't understand, Chu Tianhe had obviously found the pattern of the storm's movement, right?
As long as they continued to hide under the next piece of rubble, they could continue to avoid the storm, and sooner or later they would be able to wait for reinforcements!
But at this moment, Aihua suddenly discovered that the storm that was supposed to be born did not appear.
It suddenly panicked, wondering why it was out of control, why the law... was invalid?
"No more." Chu Tianhe's calm voice sounded, even with a hint of tenderness.
"The reason why particle storms are unsolvable is that they have no rules at all."
"Aihua, believe me."
Driven by the huge force, Aihua entered the wreckage of the Vanguard, but Chu Tianhe did not enter.
He stretched out his right hand, and the surface of the mechanical pet 'Candle' flashed blue light, flowing like a galaxy. He said: "Hold everything you can hold tightly, don't let go."
"Our Aihua is so smart, she will definitely be able to fly a flying vehicle."
Then, he swung his right hand suddenly.
The aircraft instantly exploded with great speed and flew towards the outermost layer of rubble.
Aihua finally realized what he wanted to do. He wanted to use the last power source to propel the Vanguard to send it out!
The Vanguard could not start, but it could use the huge power source to propel it. As long as it could break through the rubble area, it could escape the range of the storm!
"No! No!"
Aihua collided with all directions in the spinning world and roared: "Chu Tianhe, you idiot!"
Chu Tianhe would surely die if he pushed it out!
Without the protection of the mecha pet, without its protection, he could not survive in the particle storm at all!
It wanted to go back, but the continuous collisions made it unable to control its body at all, and it could only watch the Vanguard getting farther and farther away.
"No, no!" Aihua's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally only a desperate roar remained.
It's just a bear, it can't fly an aircraft...
"Idiot! Idiot!"
Chu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Pioneer go farther and farther. He knew Aihua would be angry, but he also knew that this was the only way.
Aihua can't die. It was not a pet of the war zone and had never received any favor from the war zone. Instead, it had always helped the war zone and them.
Moreover, he had promised Su Wudeng that he would protect Aihua.
In the silent gravel area, only the roar of the storm remained. Countless pieces of gravel were flying in the storm, in all directions, without limit.
He stood in the middle and sighed, so low that it was inaudible, "I did it."
He just didn't expect that he would die in such a shabby place, just like the place where he was born.
He even sat down easily and stretched his waist, "Not bad, a pretty glorious death?"
"The Zerg that escaped to the Scott Galaxy should have been caught, right? With the owner Su here, it should be no problem."
"Aihua, live well."
He closed his eyes and waited for the storm to come.
However, the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard an eagle's cry.
Eagle cry?
Chu Tianhe stood up suddenly, his heart pounding. He looked into the distance and saw a huge eagle with its wings spread, soaring in the storm.
And on the eagle's back, there was a person.
It was Su Wudeng!
In a flash, the giant snow-white eagle had flown in front of him. Su Wudeng stretched out her hand, "General Chu, get up!"
Chu Tianhe paused for a second, took Su Wudeng's hand, and was pulled onto the eagle's back.
The snowy owl instantly accelerated, and its back-pushing force was extremely strong. He immediately hugged Su Wudeng tightly, and felt that his body was pushed forward by a huge force.
The storm roared wildly behind them, and gravel flew past them dangerously, but the snowy owl was like a flash of lightning, and instantly passed through the storm.
But the speed was a bit too fast. It was the first time for Snowy Owl to encounter such a dangerous flying environment. In a fit of excitement, it not only rushed out of the Star Shattering Zone, but also flew directly over the war zone spaceship waiting outside, and flew directly into the dark and boundless sea of stars.
Everyone was a little stunned as they watched Snowy Owl disappear into the sea of stars. What was going on?
Didn't Su Wudeng go to rescue the general? Did he rescue him or not? Why did he run away?
Aihua could see clearly that there were two figures on Snowy Owl! He was rescued!
The golden eagle fell into deep thought, then turned to ask Aihua, "Why did they run away?"
"How do we say it in human terms, elope?"
Aihua: "..."
Lei Jing: "..."
Others who accidentally heard: "..."
"Elope bullshit!" Aihua's head was buzzing, "Don't use nonsense words, come back and let your sister give you a make-up lesson!"
The golden eagle blinked, "What is a make-up lesson?"
Lei Jing knew this, he said, "It's the fish that slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education! Make-up lessons means going to school to learn knowledge!"
Golden eagle: "..."
It's just an eagle, why should it go to school! No!
...
Endless sea of stars.
The speed of the snowy owl has slowed down, but because it flew too fast, it has to turn back.
But fortunately, this sea of stars is not dangerous, just endless darkness, with occasional starlight.
But just in case, Su Wudeng still turned on the automatic protective cover. The transparent cover wrapped them inside and was not affected by the outside world.
With the protective cover, the silent sea of stars became even quieter, with only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats.
"General Chu?" Su Wudeng asked tentatively. It was too dark and she couldn't see anything clearly, but it was not easy to turn on the light, which would be too conspicuous in the dark.
"Sorry." Chu Tianhe's hoarse voice rang out, "My hand is numb, wait a minute."
He was so embarrassed that he really wanted to find a place to hide!
Fortunately, it was dark all around, and Su Wudeng would definitely not be able to see his red face.
He leaned back as far as he could to keep some distance, but his breath was still mixed together. He could only try not to breathe, but this was too unnatural and he almost suffocated.
"By the way, is Aihua okay?" He tried to change the subject.
"Well, don't worry, Aihua has been connected to the battleship and should be receiving treatment now." Su Wudeng replied.
"That's good." Chu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, "As for the insect tribe..."
Su Wudeng briefly explained to him about the yellow gram bugs and their actions.
"Don't worry, all the yellow gram bugs have been caught now."
Perhaps Su Wudeng said too much, Chu Tianhe was still responding with "hmm" at first, but then he gradually became silent.
Just as she finished her last sentence, the person behind her suddenly fell down, and her breath was clearly heard.
Su Wudeng froze and asked tentatively: "General Chu? Are you okay?"
She pulled away and looked back, only to see that Chu Tianhe had fainted.
At this moment, a starlight flashed, illuminating his face for a moment, and she could clearly see that Chu Tianhe's face was mixed with dust and blood, and he looked a little shaggy.
She wanted to quickly straighten him up, but it was difficult to do so on Snowy Owl's back, and his body was a little heavy.
She even grabbed a handful of sticky things when she reached back, and she knew what was going on without even looking.
"So much blood?"
Su Wudeng's heart sank, no wonder he fainted.
And because of the excessive bleeding, his body was even a little cold, she immediately held Chu Tianhe's arms and whispered to Snowy Owl, "Faster."
Snowy Owl immediately accelerated.
...
Soon, the Snowy Owl flew to the battleship in the war zone, and Su Wudeng immediately sent Chu Tianhe to the infirmary.
In the infirmary, the doctor immediately began to treat Chu Tianhe's wounds.
Aihua had been treated long ago, and now she came forward, "Sister, your back is all bloody! Go change your clothes!"
Su Wudeng looked at her clothes, and sure enough, they were all bloodstained. She was shocked, how much blood did Chu Tianhe lose!
She hurried to change her clothes, and after changing, she returned to the outside of the infirmary, only to see Aihua standing at the door in a daze in an abnormal manner.
In the past, Aihua always looked like she was worried about Chu Tianhe, but now that she saw that Chu Tianhe was really in danger, she couldn't help but worry.
Su Wudeng walked over gently, hugged Aihua, and buried herself in Aihua's fragrant and soft hair, "Aihua, are you worried? Tell your sister what happened?"
She had no time to ask before because things were urgent, but now she finally had time.
Aihua said in a muffled voice, "He did this to save me."
She raised her head and worriedly said, "Sister, he will wake up, right?"
"Of course!" Su Wudeng patted Aihua on the back, "Think about it, he is a general, the most powerful person, he will definitely wake up, don't worry, Aihua."
Aihua hugged Su Wudeng and muttered, "What do you mean by the most powerful? He is just a fool!"
"You don't even know, he..."
Su Wudeng listened quietly to what Aihua said, but she could tell that Aihua was not complaining, but was clearly worried about Chu Tianhe.
But she really didn't expect that Chu Tianhe would do such a dangerous thing to save Aihua.
Aihua was getting a little sleepy while talking, so Su Wudeng coaxed her back to her room to sleep.
Seeing her sleeping peacefully, Su Wudeng covered her with the quilt, looked at her face, and kissed her forehead.
How could she not be tired after working so hard for so long? She had just been forcing herself to do it before.
"Aihua must be exhausted, have a good sleep~"
After turning off the light, Su Wudeng walked out of the room.
At this moment, she saw Lei Jing waiting outside, and she whispered, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lei Jing looked around the room and saw Aihua was already asleep. He moved to a slightly farther place and said, "Boss Su, our current route is to return to the Ether War Zone. The war zone requires us to send the captured yellow bugs back as soon as possible, and you have seen General Chu's condition. It is very bad. We also have to send him back for treatment as soon as possible."
He was a little embarrassed, "So, we may have to arrive at the Ether War Zone before sending you back."
Su Wudeng thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this.
She waved her hand, "It's okay, I get it, but can I go in directly with my identity? Do I need any proof or review?"
Lei Jing stood up straight immediately, "Shopkeeper Su, you saved the entire Scott galaxy in this disaster and performed a great deed. The entire war zone knows about your deeds. You don't need proof or review. You are a living honor pass!"
Su Wudeng was a little embarrassed and nodded, "It's OK
as long as I can go in." What's the living honor pass? It's an exaggeration!
However, her eyes were bright, and she whispered quietly, "Will there be any rewards?"
Honor and the like are all false, rewards are real!
Lei Jing chuckled, "Of course! So don't worry, owner Su, we will get back as soon as possible!"
Su Wudeng was satisfied. As long as it wasn't in vain, her children had put in so much effort, she should at least reward them, right?
And she also worked very hard, so it wouldn't be too much to reward her, right? !
...
An hour later, in the Ether War Zone.
Su Wudeng chose to temporarily enter the East, which was Chu Tianhe's branch.
There was no other reason, it was just that there were many acquaintances and it was convenient.
As soon as Chu Tianhe got off the starship, he was immediately sent to the top medical building, which was of a particularly high standard, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Only Lei Jing, the captain of Chu Tianhe's personal guard, was allowed to enter and accompany him.
Su Wudeng could only return to the room that Yuan Bo and Qin Ke had arranged for her. Forget it, she was tired too, so she decided to take a nap first!
At the same time, at the Ether Theater Joint Command,
an emergency meeting was being held.
In addition to Chu Tianhe, all the generals from the other three divisions attended, including General Shen from the north, General Li from the west, and General Yang from the south.
In addition, there were representatives from the Ares Galaxy on the virtual screen.
If the Scott Galaxy is a marginal galaxy, then the Ares Galaxy is the core galaxy in the core.
In the past, the Ares Galaxy would not send anyone to participate in such meetings, but this time was different. A new Zerg race was discovered, and it was a special Zerg race that could interfere with signals.
This particularity was enough for them to take it seriously.
"How is General Chu doing?" General Shen from the north was the first to speak.
"He is being treated, but it shouldn't be a big deal." General Li from the west answered. They have close cooperation with various research institutes in the west, and all kinds of medical equipment are the most advanced. They are in charge of the medical building in the Ether War Zone, so he knows Chu Tianhe's situation best.
"But there is no time to wait for him to wake up now. The crisis has been resolved. We must seize the golden three hours to give an explanation to everyone in the Scott Galaxy immediately."
"I suggest..."
People started to discuss that this crisis seemed to be huge, but in fact, due to timely handling, the losses were not great.
But the key point was the negative performance of the Ether Zone in handling the crisis. Huang Kexong really caught them off guard and directly isolated them into an information island, causing them to have almost no voice, which was fatal to the image of the Ether Zone.
On the contrary, it was a pet store, Pet Home, that stole the show, which made them very unhappy, especially the defeated Western General Li.
He pondered, "I think that in order to reshape the image of our Ether War Zone, this time we must weaken the performance of the pet family as much as possible and highlight the heroic image of the Ether Army attacking the Zerg."
"Of course, this is also for the image of the Ether War Zone. We can't let outsiders think that our Ether War Zone relies on the pet store to solve problems."
"As for the pet family, you can give them a little reward, but not too much, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings."
"Five million credit points, how about this number?"
No one said anything. Five million credit points, what's the difference between this and sending away beggars?
Is the West bringing in personal grudges? It is said that the colonel who led the team at that time was General Li's confidant. He originally wanted to take credit, but he got carried away and was directly killed by the Zerg. More than half of the starships were destroyed. Later, it was the Pet Family and the East who cleaned up the mess. He
lost all the credit and got into trouble.
No wonder he was so unhappy.
It was a pity that Chu Tianhe was not there, otherwise he would definitely stand up and speak, and scold the West.
But there was no way, the West just took advantage of the time difference of Chu Tianhe's absence and had planned it.
Just when everyone thought that they would acquiesce, General Yang of the South suddenly spoke.
"Besides, the Chongai family caught all the yellow bugs, and this contribution cannot be denied."
"And if it weren't for the Chongai family, the casualties of this crisis would not be so small."
"I think the Chongai family should be rewarded as they deserve, not weakened."
"As for the image of the Ether War Zone, we can improve it in other ways, not by belittling the Chongai family."
Everyone was a little puzzled. Why did the South District suddenly become so active? Even speaking for the Chongai family? Is this trying to win over the Chongai family?
But no one is a fool. Soon, someone figured it out. The South District has the support of various powerful real pets. Isn't this just in line with the Chongai family?
Maybe they want to cooperate further and communicate with each other!
In fact, he is no different from the West. He just wants to take advantage of Chu Tianhe's absence to sell the Chongai Family. Then, he may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the Chongai Family from the East.
Now only General Shen of the North has not expressed his opinion. Everyone looks at him.
General Shen's idea is very simple. The Chongai Family, which owns the top healing spiritual plant, should have no relationship with anyone. The worse the relationship, the better. This way, their independence can be guaranteed and they will not be controlled by any party.
So he looked at the South and said, "Don't forget that it was General Chu who first discovered the yellow bugs. The fact that our Ether War Zone didn't speak out doesn't mean that we didn't do anything. General Chu was guarding the passage to the Broken Star Zone until the last moment, and didn't let more yellow bugs enter the Scott Galaxy."
He lied based on his guess, but his face didn't change. "I think the credit this time should go to General Chu."
In fact, he also wanted to weaken the Chongai family, but his angle of approach was different, and the overall priority was still the War Zone.
General Nan looked at General Shen steadily. What the hell is this guy doing? Didn't Chongai save their Mo family children before?
General Xi was happy all of a sudden. Two to one, they won.
He glanced at the representative of the Ares Galaxy, who was still as quiet as a chicken and didn't say anything, indicating that he was not going to get involved.
Very good, he thought, settled, he cleared his throat and prepared to make the final move.
However, at this moment, the door was pushed open.
A familiar voice rang out, "Why didn't you call me to the meeting? Oh, you want to do something bad while I'm away?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the door. When they saw who was coming, the Western General looked grim. How could it be Chu Tianhe!
Wasn't he still unconscious? !
Although Chu Tianhe's face was pale, his eyes were as sharp as ever. He looked at the Western General, smiled inexplicably, then walked over and stood in front of him with a sense of oppression.
The carefree, reckless and rule-abiding spirit made the Western General nervous all of a sudden.
He said, "What did you want to say just now? Say it again."
Western General: "..."
You have all the evidence in your hand, what can I say!
"Ha." Chu Tianhe sneered, as if laughing at his cowardice, and then turned around and walked to his seat.
He leaned back, still pretending to cover his head, "Ouch, I have a headache, you guys continue."
As a result, he just flipped through today's agenda and his tone changed, "Forget it, let's not continue. I get a headache if I look at you any longer."
Everyone: "..."
Otherwise, why would they choose to hold a meeting when you are unconscious? You are really crazy!
Chu Tianhe raised his head and looked at everyone, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness, "I don't know what you are discussing here, but what I want to say is that the credit of the Chongai family this time must not be reduced in the slightest."
The Western General couldn't help but want to refute, but Chu Tianhe interrupted him directly and said, "Western, you should mind others' business. Look at your actions this time, I'm too lazy to say anything! The person in charge will be demoted three levels, and the others will be demoted one level." The
Western General immediately lost his temper. There was no way. There was indeed something wrong with their actions this time.
If they really quarreled, they would definitely not get any good results.
It's just a demotion, which is acceptable.
He stopped talking, but Chu Tianhe didn't stop, "Of course, you can ignore my suggestion."
"But I heard from Su Wudeng that the fourth-level planet of Chongai Family is indeed a bit poor, and they are considering moving to the Ares Galaxy recently..."
The Northern General was panicked when he heard this. This won't do. If they leave the Scott Galaxy and enter the Ares Galaxy, how can they ask for the spiritual plants of Chongai Family? !
He was about to speak, but the Ares representative who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke, "We in the Ares Galaxy are happy to do so. Please let General Chu convey that we will do our best to help Chongai Family."
Northern General: “…”
Chu Tianhe: “…”
Only then did he see the Ares representative on the projection screen. He felt a little regretful. He should have changed the galaxy and talked nonsense.
The northern general immediately became anxious and said quickly: "The Chong Ai family has made great contributions and must be given due rewards!"
"Public commendation, bonuses, etc. are all necessary! All must be based on the highest standards!"
"And I heard that the Chong Ai family is preparing to upgrade its star level? I think the planet has been almost ready, and it is estimated that an evaluation team will go there soon."
"Oh, by the way, the previous complaints made by the Beast Protection Association against the Chong Ai family are obviously not true. I suggest that they be revoked immediately."
"Look, how about this?"
Chu Tianhe raised his eyes, the coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile, "Very good."
"But, add one more thing."
"Appoint a task force, led by the pet owner Su Wudeng, belonging to the East, with independent rights of action and... special wartime command." As
soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically.
Special wartime command can independently formulate combat strategies based on actual conditions without the need for approval at all levels.
In terms of resource allocation, it has priority selection and can urgently requisition the required materials, equipment and personnel from various regions to ensure the efficient completion of the task force.
It has absolute power to appoint and dismiss members of the task force, without interference from any external forces.
This kind of power... is handed over to a pet shop?
Is Chu Tianhe crazy? !
