go home
Yu Sheng's shouting behind him finally disappeared. Moss turned around and looked at Caesar who was waiting for him quietly.
The light in the dormitory corridor was a warm yellow, shining on the tips of Caesar's golden hair, giving it a transparent and cool feeling. Caesar's azure eyes stared at Moss without blinking. Seeing that Moss seemed to be lost in thought, he took a step forward and whispered, "Isn't it time for you to tell me?"
"Well," Moss took a deep breath, "Cise, I found a way to heal FL's injection damage."
Caesar's pupils shrank slightly, and the trembling of his fingers betrayed his emotions. "Are you serious? What method is that? Where did you see it?"
"Before going to Wenxing, I asked someone to destroy an underground research institute that developed FL injections," Moss's tone was light, as if it was a very easy thing, but in fact, it was impossible to build a large-scale research institute for high-end contraband like FL injections without the support of a powerful force behind the scenes.
Moss paid a heavy price, but he didn't want Caesar to know. "I asked those researchers to develop an antidote for the FL injection. To save their lives, they signed a contract and have been working on it for years. Just before we came here to support them, they finally managed to simulate a sample of the antidote on the virtual network."
"Virtual network?" Caesar accurately grasped the word. "What do you mean? Since the formula has been developed, why can't we create an antidote sample in reality?"
"Because there's an element that's unobtainable," Moss said, "so it can only be simulated on the virtual network."
"What element?" At this point, Caesar actually had a bad feeling. "Isn't there any in the interstellar space?"
"Star."
As soon as those two words came out, Caesar's expression changed, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. "Xingchi, a substance discovered from a meteorite a hundred years ago, is extremely valuable in the pharmaceutical field. Orbital calculations indicate that the meteorite came from the Gamma Dark Tunnel Group, but it's impossible to determine which dark tunnel the Xingchi came from." Caesar paused, then met Moss's gaze. "Does this... have anything to do with your escape these past few days?"
Moss nodded. "Yes, I decided to go to the Gamma Dark Tunnel Group myself and search each tunnel one by one."
"Are you crazy?" Caesar's voice suddenly rose. "The Gamma Dark Tunnel Group has nearly a thousand dark tunnels in unknown areas. If you search them one by one, what if one of them leads to a dangerous area and something unexpected happens?"
Moss raised the corner of his lips, without answering, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the back of Caesar's head. Before Caesar could react, he aimed at the lips he had been thinking about day and night and kissed him.
“Hmm…”
Caesar's initial stiffness gradually softened as warmth blended between his lips and teeth, a chorus of emotions welling up. Decades of entanglement, love, hate, and vengeance finally dissolved in this kiss.
Caesar's breathing quickened, his hands unconsciously resting on Moss's shoulders, he stood on tiptoe and kissed her hard, but Moss suddenly let go of Caesar's lips, his eyes darkening, and he said in a low voice, "I can't go on, baby."
"Hmm?" Caesar's eyes were still watery as he sorted out his confused mind. "Why?"
Moss suddenly grabbed Caesar's waist, picked Caesar up, and sat on the bed. He asked Caesar to sit on his legs with his legs apart. Then he smiled and put his forehead against Caesar's, "Can't you guess why?"
Caesar was silent.
If Caesar doesn't understand the thing that allows him to feel shapes, he has lived all these years in vain.
"Tsk, this is unbearable." Moss hugged Caesar tightly in his arms, "It's a pity that I can't... Caesar, wait for me, wait until I come back."
When I come back, I will bring the antidote for my sins and break the shackles that bind you. At that time, there will be no regrets or rifts between us, and I will propose to you.
"I want to go too." Caesar's firm voice suddenly rang out in the room, "I'll go with you."
"No!" Moss refused without a second thought. "That's impossible. I will never agree to you taking this risk with me."
Caesar tilted his head slightly, narrowing his eyes. "If we're together, who's in charge?"
"you."
"Do you listen to me, or do I listen to you?" Caesar continued to ask.
"I'll listen to you."
"So, I want to go with you. Do you agree?" Caesar's eyes looked straight into Moss's.
“…” Moss pursed his lips and said nothing.
Caesar's eyes flashed, and he suddenly let go of Moss and was about to get off him. Moss quickly hugged Caesar and begged for mercy, "I agree, I agree."
A smile appeared on Caesar's lips. He turned around and kissed her actively.
The next morning, a roar descended upon the entire Mousse Military Academy, waking up the people trapped there.
The broadcast spread throughout every corner of the military academy: "The army of the Wenxue Empire is already stationed outside the military academy. Everyone, please take your personal belongings with you and line up at the security checkpoint to board the ship according to the instructions. The deadline for departure is 12:00 the day after tomorrow. I repeat, the army of the Wenxue Empire is already..."
As the broadcast was replayed over and over again, all the interstellar people had tears of joy on their faces and rushed to the security checkpoint, talking and laughing. Yu Sheng stood on a high place and watched all this. The evacuation scene reminded him of his hometown when his compatriots encountered disasters and wars in foreign countries, and his own country also sent troops to bring all his compatriots home safely.
Everyone needs roots.
There is a root holding you, no matter how many miles apart we are, you can always find a place for your heart.
"Beep—" A rapid communication tone suddenly rang out, interrupting Yu Sheng's thoughts. Yu Sheng lowered his head and saw Caesar's name displayed on the terminal screen. He quickly picked up the call, but before he could say anything, Caesar had already said impatiently, "Yu Sheng, have you seen Moss?"
Yu Sheng rarely heard Xi Ze sound so anxious. "No. What happened?"
"Let's talk when we meet."
Yu Sheng rushed to Caesar and Moss's dormitory, but Moss was not there. Caesar was sitting alone on Moss's bed, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"There was something wrong with the cookies he gave me yesterday." Caesar pursed his lips, "He put sleeping pills in them."
Enjoying the biscuits fed by Moss every day had become a habit for Caesar. He had no idea that Moss would put drugs in them. When he woke up today and saw that the bed opposite was empty and he couldn't get through to the phone, Caesar finally understood.
Caesar succinctly explained Moss's whereabouts to the bewildered Yu Sheng, his fingers turning white from clenching fists. "He'd better come back to me in one piece." Caesar's tone contained a hint of sharpness, "Otherwise..."
Yu Sheng didn't catch the rest of the conversation, but he instinctively knew it wasn't a good thing, so he wisely stopped asking and instead said, "Traveling through the dark tunnel for a long time requires a ship with special equipment. Moss came with us, so where did he get the extra ship?"
After saying this, there was no need for Xi Ze to answer, as Yu Sheng already had the answer himself.
"It's Gu Luo, Gu Luo must know!"
——Wenxue Empire Command Ship——
Gu Luo reported to Yu Sheng the recent losses and news from the Zerg battlefield outside. When he finished his report and was about to leave, Yu Sheng suddenly stopped him and said, "Gu Luo, wait, I have something to ask you."
Gu Luo's heart skipped a beat. He already had a bad feeling and asked, "General, is there anything else?"
"Don't call me General now. I want to ask you something personal." Yu Sheng's smile was a thousand times more terrifying than when he was serious. "Do you know where Moss went?"
"...Well, I don't know. Hasn't Moss always been with you?" Gu Luo pretended to be stupid.
"I asked the person in charge of arranging the warships, and he said that it was you who requested to bring an extra flying ship and install the most advanced shuttle tunnel power unit." With every word Yu Sheng said, Gu Luo broke out in sweat. He thought to himself, Moss, you have really screwed me over. Now that you're gone, I have to take all the blame!
Thinking about it, Guluo confessed, "Yes, Moss contacted me before coming to Mantu Star for support, and I did prepare the spaceship for him. But..." Guluo paused, "He was willing to make all these sacrifices for Master Caesar. It's his freedom. Even if I didn't help him prepare it, who could stop him after returning to Wen Star?"
Yu Sheng was silent. Indeed, if Moss wanted to go, no one could stop him. It was just a matter of time.
In the end, he told Caesar the full results of his inquiry, then comforted him in a rather unrefined manner, "Cesare, Moss isn't a reckless person. He did all this to be with you, so he definitely wouldn't want anything to go wrong."
Xi Ze was silent for a while, then he sighed softly, "It's okay, Yu Sheng, you don't have to comfort me."
I will wait for him.
In June of Interstellar Year 4036, the reinforcements from the Wenxue Empire brought all the survivors on Mantu Star to Wen Star and severely defeated the mutant insect army.
As soon as this news came out, the entire galaxy was in an uproar. The names of General Yu Sheng and Master Xize Manufacturing once again made headlines in countless news reports, and spread throughout the entire Internet with unprecedented praise.
The United Interstellar officially sent a large delegation of envoys to the palace of the Wenxue Empire, hoping to negotiate with His Majesty Frey Glick.
This day was Yu Sheng’s first day back in Wenxing.
Frey's tall figure stood in the middle of the palace gate, gazing quietly at the sky. On both sides of the road, countless ribbons and petals covered the ground, laughter and singing were heard, and countless people lined the streets to welcome him, excitedly waiting for the heroes to return.
“Here it comes!”
Someone shouted, and the crowd suddenly erupted into a wave of noise. Everyone cheered and called out the names of Yu Sheng and Xi Ze, expressing their love for them from the bottom of their hearts.
Frey still stood there, looking at the flying ship getting closer and closer, with a gleam in his eyes.
Welcome home, Yu Sheng.
That night, the palace held a grand celebration banquet. No one dared to force King Frey to drink, so everyone had to point the finger at Yu Sheng. As a result, when Yu Sheng was about to be poured wine, Frey suddenly made a move, snatched Yu Sheng's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone then realized that General Yu Sheng was not only a general, he was also the queen!
Perhaps because General Yu Sheng had been leading troops in battle, they had subconsciously forgotten the fact that he was still the queen.
After realizing this, everyone quickly stopped their urge to toast and turned around to get Caesar drunk. When Master Miller was around, no one dared to bully his apprentice in front of the old man. But tonight, Master Miller had a slight cold and left early, so this group of people naturally became unscrupulous.
However, when everyone was looking for Caesar at the table, they found Caesar lying in the corner, already drunk.
