Deep in the forest
A mecha with its stealth system activated flew away from the sky above Mousse Forest without being noticed by anyone.
Frey held the sleeping Yu Sheng in his arms, put away his mecha, and walked into Class A of the first grade.
"It's Redus!"
"Ah! Great! Was Redus rescued?"
"What's going on? Should we go to the hospital? Is he unconscious?"
The children in Class A gathered around and expressed their admiration for the efficiency of the Mousse Forest Maintenance Team in rescuing people.
Frey tacitly agreed that he was a maintenance team member and said lightly, "It's okay, he just fell asleep." The palm of his hand that was pressed against Yu Sheng's back quietly emerged with a colorless thread of mental power and penetrated into Yu Sheng's body.
"Hmm..." Yu Sheng felt that he had just had a very long dream. This time the dream was not like the nightmare in Mousse Forest, but a beautiful dream that made him deeply immersed in it and feel warm. When he woke up, his body was still a little weak and his head was confused. Listening to the noise and clamor of his classmates beside his ears, he was a little unable to react.
"Reds, how are you feeling?" Xiwen gently patted Yusheng's cheek, hoping he would wake up a little. "Everyone is very worried about you. Do you need to go to the hospital?"
How did I get here?!
Yu Sheng suddenly remembered that he was hypnotized by a strange voice and Yun Xiao rescued him halfway, "Who sent me back?"
"Of course it's the maintenance team!" Xiwen thought Yu Sheng had just woken up and his mind was confused. "When you disappeared, all the members of the maintenance team were dispatched. Teacher Aiden was almost scared to death by you. By the way, how did you get lost? How could you get lost with so many people around?"
Yu Sheng was already dizzy, his mind full of where Yunxiao had gone. When he heard Xiwen's long string of questions, he couldn't concentrate on answering them. He responded with a few reluctant words, said I'm not feeling well, and asked her to ask for leave from Teacher Julie for me, then got up and left the classroom.
Where would Yunxiao go after rescuing me? Was there something urgent going on? Why didn't he just leave before I woke up?
On the way home, Yu Sheng was thinking in a mess that he must catch Yunxiao and ask him clearly when he went online in the evening.
When he opened the door, Yu Sheng thought he would be greeted by his two little friends, but the house was so quiet that even the housework robot stood still in the corner, motionless.
Caesar might be at Master Miller's, but Haydn doesn't have classes this afternoon, so why isn't he home either? Is he training?
Yu Sheng opened the terminal and tried to contact the two people.
However, after five minutes, there was no response from either of their terminals. Yu Sheng's solar plexus began to beat rapidly, and he began to have a bad feeling.
——Class A, Grade 1, Mousse Military Academy——
"Who did you just say was not feeling well and asked for leave to go home?" Teacher Julie had an expression of disbelief on her face, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears.
"Reds!" Xiwen patiently repeated to Teacher Julie, "He just escaped from the forest. He will probably need a few days to recover."
"Reds is out already?!" Julie didn't even attend class, turned around and walked out of the classroom. After contacting Yu Sheng to confirm the fact, she quickly contacted the school maintenance team.
"The problem right now isn't Reds!" the maintenance team captain practically roared at Teacher Julie. "Two more people are missing! One is a student, and the other is someone unknown, yet Master Miller is responsible! If we can't find them, we'll all be fired!"
Before Teacher Julie had the chance to ask in detail, the communication was cut off by the frantic captain of the maintenance team on the other side.
"If anything happens to my apprentice, all relevant personnel must be thoroughly investigated!!!"
The angry old man stood at the gate of Mousse Forest. A group of people surrounded him, asking him to sit down and offering him tea and water, but he waved them away.
"Both children must be found intact!"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, we will rescue the two people as soon as possible!" The captain of the maintenance team wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before he had time to digest the shocking news of when Master Miller would accept another disciple, he was scared by Master Miller's words and broke into a cold sweat.
Once the investigation is thorough, the extremely irresponsible words said by his team, such as "give up the search" and "waste of time", may be made public, and by then even God cannot save the maintenance team from a major replacement.
Less than half an hour later, Master Miller suddenly stood up again and said, "I want to go find it myself!"
"……master!"
After another round of chaos, the group finally managed to persuade Master Miller to give up the idea. Just kidding, if Master Miller, a gem who had won several interstellar manufacturing awards, made a mistake, it would not just be a fine and job loss!
"Master Miller!" At this moment, Yu Sheng, who had rushed back to school from home, ran to the entrance of Mousse Forest and asked breathlessly, "What's going on? Any news on Faner and Haydn?"
Master Miller patted Yu Sheng's head and said, "Don't blame yourself. They insisted on going in to find you, and it's not your decision."
Yu Sheng lowered his head. As expected of Master Miller, he could see the pressure he was under. After all, Caesar and Haydn had disappeared in order to find him.
"Can I go in and find them?" Yu Sheng asked.
"Impossible!" Before Master Miller could say anything, the captain of the maintenance team jumped up and said, "From now on, except for the maintenance team, no outsiders are allowed to enter the Mousse Forest!"
Master Miller snorted, agreeing with the maintenance team leader. Yu Sheng had no choice but to endure the torment and wait at the entrance of Mousse Forest, hoping to see Caesar and Haydn emerge from the forest alive and kicking.
——Around Mousse Forest——
"Sent it out?" Watching Frey put away his mecha and come back, Moss raised his eyes, looked Frey up and down, and said meaningfully, "Are you willing to come back so soon?"
Frey glanced at Moss and asked, "How's the investigation going?"
"I guess Queen Quen has already withdrawn her troops." Most held his chin. "The main buildings were completely destroyed. Those few traces of human activity don't prove anything at all. Could this Queen Quen really do something like collaborating with the Zerg in the Moose Forest?"
"Let's check again later," Frey said. "If we still find nothing, we'll leave."
With that, Frey summoned his mecha and took off. Moss followed closely behind, and the two of them searched the ground at low altitude.
"Looks like we're doomed to return empty-handed." Moss's mech communicated with Frey's. "We can't find them. This forest is too vast, and visibility is poor. Even if there are any advanced Zerg, we probably won't be able to see them."
Frey said nothing, but his tightly pursed lips expressed his helplessness.
Just as the two were about to leave, Frey's expression suddenly changed.
"Here it comes again." Frey focused, "The trapping sonic waves of the advanced Zerg."
"Strange! When I was training in the Mousse Forest before, there were many Zergs actively attacking in just the seventh and eighth circles. I thought the first circle would be very dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be so peaceful."
Sitting in the driver's seat of the cool wolf-shaped mecha, Haydn gradually relaxed from his initial state of paranoia and sweaty palms. On the mecha's display screen, there were lush green trees and leaves, birds singing, and flowers blooming. Everything was peaceful.
Caesar sat in the passenger seat, frowning, "Don't let your guard down."
The apparent peace is more like a forest full of crises covering itself with a gentle human skin. At any time, the calm appearance will be torn apart, revealing the hideous core.
“——”
A long, mournful sound suddenly rang out from afar. The long sound waves were like clear water, rippling into the cochlea and echoing in the mind.
"Someone is singing..." Caesar suddenly leaned forward, slightly closed his eyes, and carefully captured this strange sound wave, "Do you hear it?"
Haydn also calmed down and carefully captured the situation for a long time. Finally, he hesitated and said, "Fan Er, do you have tinnitus?"
Caesar: "...How could I not recognize the sound of tinnitus!"
"But I really can't hear any music!" Haydn looked puzzled. "Is there something wrong with my ears?"
Just as Haydn was scratching his ears, trying to use his mental power to listen and capture something again, there was a sudden "bang" beside him. He turned around and saw that it was Caesar who had unbuckled his seat belt and stood up for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Haydn hurriedly slowed down the mecha. "Don't get out of your seat while the mecha is maneuvering! It's very dangerous! What are you going to do?"
Strangely, Caesar ignored him and walked straight to the entrance of the mecha cabin, trying to open the hatch. Fortunately, the hatch was not allowed to be opened unless the self-destruct program was activated while the mecha was traveling at high speed.
Haydn was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He found a hilltop and parked the mecha on a relatively flat slope. Then he stepped forward and grabbed Caesar, who seemed to be in a trance.
"Fan'er, Fan'er?!" Haydn tugged at Caesar's arm tightly. "Fuck, what's going on? Is he possessed?"
Haydn vaguely felt that Caesar's abnormality was related to the sound wave that he could not hear, but it was too difficult for him to judge an undetectable sound wave out of thin air. Faced with Caesar who was trapped in a nightmare, Haydn was helpless.
“No, let me go…” Caesar closed his eyes with a look of pain, muttering something, “I want to go out… let me out…”
"What did you say? Speak louder!" Haydn was extremely anxious, but Caesar's voice was too vague for him to hear clearly. He had to put his ear close to Caesar's lips, trying to understand Caesar's intention.
"Hiss! Why is it biting!" As soon as he put his ear close to it, Caesar bit him hard. If Haydn hadn't dodged quickly, his ear would have been torn off. Haydn collapsed and felt wronged, "Who did I offend?!"
…
"Hmm? There seems to be some movement over there." Under Frey's command, the two mechas followed the trapping sound waves and headed over. Unexpectedly, as they passed a hill, Moss noticed something new. "Is it the Moose Forest Maintenance Team? Tsk, they're quite responsible, even finding all the students."
"Don't pay attention to it, go to the source." Frey concentrated on determining the direction of the luring sound wave. Since the sound wave was not aimed at him, he did not need to take any defensive measures and would not be lured.
"I didn't mean to meddle in other people's business." Moss raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm as helpful as you are?"
As they got closer to the sound waves, the sound effects seemed to be in 360-degree surround, echoing in their ears. Even Frey, who was not targeted, felt a slight pain in his head.
"Underground!" Frey accurately determined the direction. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he controlled the mecha and slashed the ground with a photon knife.
The long note stopped abruptly.
In the dazzling laser light, the ground was cut apart and collapsed with a "boom". In an instant, yellow earth filled the sky and the vision was blocked. Moss then controlled the mecha to blow out a strong wind to blow away the flying dust.
The scene before him was a mess, with the performer who was trapped in the sound waves nowhere to be seen.
"Run away?" Moss narrowed his eyes.
Frey stared carefully at the huge light screen in front of him, not missing any corner. However, no matter what, it was a fact that the highly intelligent Zerg had slipped away from under their noses.
…
"Your Majesty, you really know how to choose a place." In an inconspicuous corner outside the Mousse Military Academy, a ragged, dusty young man said sarcastically, "Who said that no one would come here and that no matter what we do, we won't attract attention?"
"If I knew who leaked the information, I would make him suffer a fate worse than death!" On the other end of the line, a woman in a luxurious cloak had a gloomy face. "Don't worry, our experiments have reached their final stage. Those bases in Mousse Forest are destroyed, so be it. Speaking of which, Oleville, if you weren't so greedy, how could you have exposed yourself?"
"Oh, how could you interstellar people possibly understand the madness of a beast smelling blood?" Olewell gently closed his eyes, his expression intoxicated but with a hint of madness. "Hmm... the smell of the blue beast is too tempting. I have a hunch that its flesh and blood can help us, the advanced Zerg, to further evolve."
"If you don't mind, Your Majesty, could you let me eat your little one?"
With a beep, the communication was cut off instantly.
Ole Wille uttered a soft sigh, "How stingy."
——Qiu En Emperor Star——
"Baby Weiner, why are you shaking?" Queen Qiu En had just cut off the communication with Olewell, and a slender hand with sharp nails stroked the pet lying on her legs.
The handsome young man stared and shook his head, "No, no, master." However, he said this tremblingly, as if he would faint from fright in the next moment.
"Don't worry, the master won't give you to that stinkbug." A hint of disgust flashed across the queen's face, but she quickly regained her elegance. She touched the collar around Weiner's neck and said, "As long as you behave, the master will spoil you for the rest of your life."
"Weiner will definitely listen to the Master." After hearing the Queen's assurance, Weiner finally controlled his trembling body. He forced a smile and rubbed his head against the Queen's thigh in a flattering manner, "Master, please love Weiner for the rest of your life."
"Be good..." The Queen narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her narrow eyes revealed a cruel look as she said indifferently, "As for those who stand in my way, go to hell."
