Reunion
"This person... seems to be controlled by the sound waves." Professor Zat stared at the movement of Yu Sheng's machine. "Follow him, we will definitely find the source of the sound waves!"
"Professor..." The young man's legs were trembling, and he stopped where he was, unwilling to move forward. "We're almost there, should we...should we not go any further?"
Professor Zat frowned. "What are you afraid of? I told you I have 'Fortlin', which scares these bugs. Even if any of them are blind, I can kill them on the spot."
Fordlin is an energy stone made by the Research Institute of Mousse Military Academy specifically for restraining the Zerg in Mousse Forest. Its radiation will make the Zerg in Mousse Forest afraid and dare not move forward. Once they are within one meter of the energy stone, all the Zerg will die on the spot.
Back then, the Mousse Military Academy faced immense pressure to establish the Mousse Forest, a place where students could truly thrive. Researching and breeding the Zerg, and releasing them into the forest, became a major source of criticism within interstellar society.
There's no way they're all being killed on the battlefield, and you're actually bringing them back alive to breed and cultivate? Isn't that courting death?
Even the United Interstellar issued an official ultimatum to the Mousse Military Academy, asking it to immediately stop research on live Zerg reproduction, otherwise it would be held accountable according to interstellar law.
But not long after, the Mousse Military Academy sent a request to the United Interstellar to continue building the Mousse Forest and deploying experimental Zerg. What surprised the people even more was that after more than a month of discussion, the United Interstellar actually approved it!
The results of experiments conducted by the Mousse Military Academy proved that the insects they had developed and bred had a radiation-inducing factor called "Ford" embedded in their bodies. This factor was completely stable and could not be altered by inheritance. Therefore, as long as one possessed the "Fordlin" stone, they would never have to worry about the insects in the Mousse Forest causing trouble.
What's more, with the establishment of the Mousse Forest, the Mousse Military Academy has produced a large number of outstanding graduates with rich practical experience, who shined in the Zerg War and soon made most of the interstellar people accept the existence of the Mousse Forest.
Due to limited resources, only ten pieces of "Fortlin" stone were developed, five of which were taken by the United Interstellar as a safety net in case of emergency. The remaining five pieces were placed in the hands of the principal, the Mousse Military Academy Research Institute, and the Mousse Forest Maintenance Team.
After Professor Zat captured the strange sound wave half a month ago, he had been planning to go into the Mousse Forest to search for it. He finally used his professorial authority and money to bribe a member of the maintenance team and borrowed a piece of "Fortlin" stone from him. Then he called Alva, who had been trying to please him in the hope of entering the military academy, and asked him to be his errand boy.
You have it, but I don’t!
Alva was gloomy inside, but on the surface he had to submit to Professor Zat, following him closely, wishing he could stick close to Zat.
The two followed Yu Sheng further and further. When they reached the boundary, Yu Sheng suddenly stopped, half-crouched, hugged his head, and groaned in pain, which seemed particularly strange in the dark forest.
Zat and Alva hid behind a tree. Seeing this, they didn't dare to move forward and looked at Yu Sheng vigilantly.
In the darkness, something seemed to be approaching quietly.
"Don't be afraid."
Yunxiao... ?
A familiar, gentle voice rang in his ears, pulling Yu Sheng out of the nightmare. Yu Sheng's eyes were moist, and he was still a little groggy.
"Yunxiao? Is that you?"
The body that was hugging him was not warm, and it had the unique coolness of the forest at night, but Yu Sheng felt that the coldness in his body had been dispelled a lot.
The person behind him didn't deny it. He just hummed calmly and said, "It's dangerous here. Let's leave first."
Zat and Alva watched helplessly as their target was kidnapped by someone who suddenly appeared. They looked at each other, but chose to remain silent.
Yu Sheng sat in Yunxiao's mecha, the warmth and brightness gradually dispelling the effects of the all-too-real nightmare. He relaxed his body and turned his head to look at the person beside him who was diligently piloting the mecha.
"Are you really Yunxiao?"
Somehow, the things that I confirmed when I was unconscious just now seem like dreams now that I am awake.
"How did you find me? Do you know who I am? Your face is the same as the one on Star Online? Are you also from the Mousse Military Academy?"
Yunxiao tilted his head slightly and faced Yu Sheng, "Qiuqiu, you ask too many questions." This one sentence showed that he had already recognized what Yu Sheng meant.
Unbeknownst to Yu Sheng, his disappearance had led his combat instructor, Aiden, to notify the Moose Forest maintenance team. The school initially tried to suppress the news of the missing student, but word of the matter spread within the school. Hayden, nearly driven mad by the news, urgently contacted Caesar.
Caesar remained calm and took Haydn to Master Miller.
"Master, please tell the school for us. We want to go in and look for Redse ourselves." Caesar said firmly.
"No! Do you know how dangerous Mousse Forest is? And you're still going there to cause trouble! It's a good thing you didn't get lost in there!" Master Miller scolded Caesar angrily, hoping he would give up the idea.
But Caesar insisted. Until Master Miller gave in, he would stand before Master Miller with his head lowered, as hard as a rock.
It wasn't that Nishizawa was being willful, but Yusheng had been lost alone in the Mousse Forest and was likely in danger or even injured. If the first person to find Yusheng wasn't Nishizawa but someone from the school...
What Yu Sheng will face is being thrown into prison again!
But if he went to find Yu Sheng alone, Xi Ze knew that it would be impossible for him to do so with his limited mental and combat abilities. He brought Haidun along because during this period of time, Xi Ze had already subtly recognized this enthusiastic and immature guy.
Even if he knew the truth, Haydn would most likely not betray himself and Yu Sheng.
Caesar and Haydn silently pleaded with Master Miller for the entire day. Finally, Master Miller scratched his gray hair, and was so angry at his little apprentice that he was speechless.
"Get out, get out, get out now! Leave you in the Mousse Forest and I'll find a more talented and well-behaved disciple!" After saying that, he threw a storage bag into Caesar's arms, hit Haydn's forehead with a mecha buckle, and walked away angrily.
Xi Ze held the storage bag and shouted, "Master, thank you!"
The old man didn't even turn his head and quickly left Caesar's sight as if he didn't hear anything.
It seems that he is very angry.
Without further ado, Caesar patted Haydn's shoulder and said, "Let's go!"
Arriving at the entrance of Mousse Forest, the captain of the maintenance team did not drive them away. Instead, he called Caesar and Haydn over and said, "You two can follow the maintenance team later, but don't cause any trouble, okay?"
Just as Haydn was about to stand up and explain that they were not causing trouble, Caesar secretly stopped him.
"Got it, we won't make trouble." Caesar pretended to be well-behaved.
The team leader had no time to take care of the two kids. He muttered something about what the students were thinking about these days and hurried to organize the team. Caesar took out the storage bag that Master Miller gave him and took a look. In addition to some high-end weapons and armor, there was also a strange-looking stone.
"What is this?" Caesar was a little puzzled as he held the stone. His master seemed careless, but in fact, he was a very attentive person. This storage bag was clearly prepared specifically for him to enter the Mousse Forest. It was impossible for him to accidentally put in a useless stone.
"You two! Hurry up and catch up!" Over there, the maintenance team had gathered together, and the team leader yelled angrily at the two burdens here.
Caesar had no time to study it, so he threw the stone into his pocket and trotted to the end of the line with Haydn.
It was noon. In a cave surrounded by the Mousse Forest, Yu Sheng was sleeping soundly on a soft mattress.
It had been a long time since Yu Sheng had rested so peacefully in the wilderness. He originally had many issues to discuss with Yun Xiao, but when he nestled in the center of the soft mattress that Yun Xiao took out from the storage bag and heard the other party's light "Go to sleep", Yu Sheng suddenly felt unprecedented peace of mind, as if he was back to the moment when they fought side by side in the rematch of the fighting competition. No matter how many unpredictable dangers there are ahead, as long as you are by my side, I can be fearless.
I think I'm a little weird. Before falling asleep, this thought flashed through Yu Sheng's mind.
"What a hassle." Outside the cave, the handsome man looked at Frey with an unhappy expression. "Why don't I remember that you are such a helpful and warm-hearted person?"
"Did you find it?" Frey ignored Moss's question expressionlessly. "I saw traces of human activity underground in the northern area, but I haven't had time to investigate yet."
"I searched the area thoroughly but found nothing. Tsk, I still find it unlikely." Moss pulled a bag of strange cookies from his pocket, popped them into his mouth, and began to chew them. "There are only about twenty highly intelligent Zerg in total. One less Zerg dead is one less. Instead of hiding behind the hundreds of billions of Zerg troops, he ran alone into the interstellar territory. How desperate is that?"
Frey was silent for a moment, then said, "That sound wave... I can hear it. It's a sound wave unique to highly intelligent Zerg. It can disrupt the target's brain, causing it to fall into a nightmare, thus controlling its prey."
"Sound waves?" Moss dropped another cookie into his mouth. "Is your hearing threshold abnormal? Why can't I hear anything?"
The sonic waves of the highly intelligent Zerg had just been discovered by the United Interstellar on the Zerg battlefield, and were named "Luring Sonic Waves" for their effectiveness. A high-ranking general was lured into walking directly into the Zerg army, where he was strangled. This caused a severe loss of morale for the Interstellar Alliance, and ultimately led to the loss of that position.
After urgent research, it was discovered that trapping sound waves are special sounds that are beyond the hearing threshold of interstellar people. This is why they can silently disrupt the interstellar people's brains, making them difficult to defend against. So far, the United Interstellar has not found an effective method. Although there are instruments that can capture them, the sophisticated instruments are expensive and easily damaged. Currently, they are only equipped to senior generals and special missions.
This time, Frey didn't answer his question, but changed the subject, "When did you start eating blue beast food?"
Moss's hand, which was reaching for the blue beast food, paused for a moment. His expression darkened, but the corners of his mouth curled up. "This is the blue beast food I made for my baby myself. If I don't taste it, how am I going to feed it to my baby in the future?"
The air suddenly became tense. Frey turned around and went back to the cave, not intending to continue this topic with Moss.
On the soft mattress, the sleeping young man was curled up obediently in the middle. Frey was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the past. Lingling was lying on the bed in the pet room, and he couldn't help but kiss Lingling on the forehead.
After learning from the interstellar network that Yu Sheng was going to Moose Forest, Frey has been uneasy. Moose suddenly visited him and told him that Queen Qiu En had made some unusual moves in the training forest of a military academy.
Almost at the same time, subordinates sent a secret report saying that the surveillance target disappeared after entering the Mousse Forest for unknown reasons, and the military academy's maintenance team was now entering the forest to search.
Frey immediately stood up and said to Moss, "I'm going to Moss Forest," and then he was about to leave. Although Moss felt that there seemed to be no need to investigate the movements in Moss Forest in person, he also knew that Frey was not the kind of person who would do things without basis, so he followed him based on the businessman's creed of doing things for money.
There were footsteps behind him. Moss walked into the cave, glanced at the man on the ground, and narrowed his eyes. "What are you going to do with this person?"
"I'll send him back." Frey said lightly, then bent down, hugged the person on the ground in his arms, summoned the mecha and left.
Moss watched the mecha turn into a black dot in the sky, his eyes darkening. "This isn't normal," he muttered to himself. "Xize, are you... getting closer to me?"
Who else could be the one that Frey treasures so much, except for that little pet bell?
No wonder Frey had to come to Mousse Forest in person.
My Caesar, the master will find you soon.
—— Mousse Forest Measurements——
"Captain, should we continue searching?" During the long and silent search, a team member couldn't help but raise an objection.
His words were like a switch, and all the team members couldn't help but speak.
"From the tenth to the third perimeter, our dozen or so teams have searched every corner, but have we found anything? Nothing. With all due respect, if a first-year student can barely make it through the tenth perimeter alone, how could he possibly survive in the second perimeter?"
"There's no hope." A team member sighed, "There's only one ending: not a single body left."
"Why should we do such a time-wasting and meaningless thing?"
Listening to these discussions, the squad leader remained silent, but Caesar subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Shut up!" The angry young man's voice was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's heart. Haydn's eyes were like bursting flames, as if they would burn in the next moment. "If you don't save them, we will!"
After saying that, Haydn grasped the mecha button on his chest and summoned the mecha in an instant. The team members had no time to stop him and watched helplessly as this student took another student into the mecha and flew towards the depths of the forest.
"Damn it! Contact the school quickly!" the captain cursed.
One hasn't been found yet, and two more are lost. Now the responsibility is huge!
