"Are you Zhuang Li?" Yun Ming walked up to the young man and asked with his eyes lowered. For some reason, his throat suddenly became extremely dry.
"Yun Ming?" Zhuang Li did not stand up, but leaned back in his chair, raised his face, and asked with a smile.
His narrow eyes were illuminated by the crystal chandelier above his head, emitting a shimmering light, making him even more beautiful like a psychedelic dream.
Yun Ming, who was looking at him, had to close his eyes in order to dispel the dizziness that seemed to be sucked in at any time.
During the court battle between Ouyang Mingtang and Zhuang Li, Yun Ming had gotten to know Zhuang Li. At the time, he had only considered him a crazy, paranoid, and unreasonable Omega. While handsome and from a distinguished family, he lacked the noble qualities that went with it.
But now, when Yun Ming saw the real person with his own eyes, he realized how huge the deviation was between the reports on the Internet and the reality.
Just this pair of deep, bright, yet mysterious eyes is worth all his efforts to explore.
Yun Ming stood in front of Zhuang Li and completely forgot the purpose of his coming here.
An adjutant standing behind him produced a search warrant and said coldly: "We suspect that you have framed the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion. We want to search this building!" After that, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to rush upstairs.
It’s a pity that all the elevators to the upper floors were locked by Zhuang Li, and without identification cards, these people couldn’t get in at all.
Zhuang Li stared at Yun Ming and said calmly, "I'm sorry, you don't have permission to search this building."
"I believe that, within the empire, apart from the Imperial Palace, there is no place that our Fifth Legion cannot enter. If you do not open the elevator, we have the right to take over your company, freeze your assets, and take you to the military headquarters for detention." The adjutant declared very forcefully.
Yun Ming glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "I seem to be just a decoration. Is it enough for me to just listen to your orders throughout the whole process?"
This accusation was so serious that the adjutant turned pale and denied it repeatedly.
Although there were signs of a shift in power within the Fifth Legion, Yun Ming's control over the entire military remained undiminished. He could transfer power to Ouyang Mingtang and withdraw it at any time. After all, the generals he had brought in all held key positions within the military and were fiercely loyal to him.
This adjutant was promoted by Ouyang Mingtang. He had been promoted frequently recently and became too complacent to even exceed the commander's authority.
He dared to give orders in front of the army commander. This unscrupulous attitude makes people think more.
"Freezing the legal assets of imperial citizens requires a letter of authorization signed by the commander-in-chief. Before I even opened my mouth, you have already made the decision for me. So, you no longer take me seriously, right?" Yun Ming looked at the adjutant with a terribly gloomy expression.
"Commander, that's not what I meant! I didn't think that way, you misunderstood..." The adjutant explained with sweat on his forehead.
The closer it is to the final moment of the power transition, the more they cannot show any eagerness or arrogance, otherwise everything will fail.
If Yun Ming became alert just because of this little thing, and then postponed or even gave up the idea of retiring, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The adjutant could not bear this responsibility, so he completely forgot what he was here for and only wanted to resolve this fatal misunderstanding.
But Yun Ming's mind had already flown elsewhere.
In fact, he was not as angry as he seemed, and what he said just now was just an excuse to make a fuss.
The deputy commander had raped a dog. If this explosive news were to reach the outside world, the Fifth Army's reputation would undoubtedly be severely damaged. Before retiring, Yun Ming hoped to maintain a perfect resume, but this scandal severely undermined his plans.
Since the deputy commander was in trouble, he, as the commander, had to come forward personally to smooth things over, so he stood in front of Zhuang Li.
Then he realized that this originally simple mission might become the Waterloo of his military career because he was soft-hearted.
Under the gaze of those mysterious, hazy eyes, he couldn't bring himself to break into the building like a robber, rummaging through drawers, smashing things, and searching for evidence.
Such a picture would surely be ugly, and he did not want to leave such an impression on the young man.
So he "got angry" like a tyrant, but a tyrant is better than a robber.
He didn't want to investigate the case any further, so he let it go. The dog had injured Zhuang Li, and now Ouyang Mingtang had bitten its neck to death, so they were even.
Thinking of this, Yun Ming's heart not only failed to find peace, but was instead filled with boundless anger. He clenched his fists, suddenly wanting to crush the dog to death, and even more so, to strangle the culprit, Ouyang Mingtang, by the neck.
Therefore, when he looked at the adjutant, a suffocating murderous look appeared on his face.
The adjutant removed his military cap and wiped his sweat, completely panicked. For the first time, he realized that the Fifth Legion still belonged to Yun Ming. No matter how powerful Ouyang Mingtang was, he would always live under Yun Ming's shadow.
And these people don’t even have the qualifications to look Yun Ming in the eye, let alone overstep their bounds?
The soldiers no longer had the heart to search the building. They gradually realized that the deputy commander's ambition seemed to have exceeded some dangerous limit, so much so that his lackeys dared not take the commander seriously.
Tsk! Who gave Ouyang Mingtang the courage? Did he really think the Fifth Legion was his?
"Commander, let's go. It's just a dead dog, how big a deal can it be? Since Ouyang Mingtang likes it, we brothers will each give him one when we go back." A soldier said in a rough voice.
The rest of the people all laughed mockingly.
Having achieved his goal, Yun Ming said smoothly, "Let's go. There's no need to investigate this matter. I came out in the middle of the night to restore the reputation of the Fifth Legion, not to run errands for Ouyang Mingtang."
Hearing this, the adjutant felt even more frightened.
7480 was stunned: "..."
"I thought the gods would personally take you to the jail." 7480 muttered softly, feeling extremely disappointed.
Zhuang Li lazily sat on the sofa, holding his chin, squinting his eyes, and quietly watching his lover's performance. He knew that this person would never hurt him under any circumstances.
Even if he didn't remember anything, he couldn't bear to let go.
Zhuang Li smiled sweetly.
Seeing the young man's crescent-shaped amber eyes and upturned thin red lips, for a moment, Yun Ming smelled the strong fragrance of honey and strawberries.
No one knew that Yun Ming's nose was born unable to smell any glandular odors, nor would he be driven crazy by the temptation of Omega. More precisely, he was a naturally castrated person, incompatible with this world.
He had no desire to be marked as an Omega, so his emotions could not be relieved and his body could not metabolize, so he suffered from mania.
His early retirement was also forced by his deteriorating health.
However, at this moment, he could actually smell the fragrance on Zhuang Li's body, which was so sweet, soft, sticky and mellow that it flowed directly into his blood through his pores, causing him to have an irresistible physical impulse.
The neat military uniform concealed Yun Ming's strangeness, but it could not hide his inner shock.
He always thought that he would never become a normal man, but it turned out that he was wrong. He had always been normal, but he just hadn't met the right person.
Yun Ming's heart was in turmoil, but his handsome face remained expressionless.
He suppressed his boiling blood and burning desire, looked at Zhuang Li deeply, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Retreat."
Zhuang Li stared at his red ears and said in a gentle voice, "Wait, I have something I want to show the commander."
"What is it?" Yun Ming turned around and asked seriously.
"Come with me." Zhuang Li leaned back on the sofa and hooked his index finger at the tall man.
It was a very frivolous gesture, but Zhuang Li's expression was even more alluring. His crimson lips curved into a beautiful arc, his eyes shimmering with watery color, as if hiding some unspeakable secret.
If another Omega did this, Yun Ming would frown in disgust and then turn away.
But now, he couldn't help but step forward and asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to show me?"
"Only you can see this thing. They have to wait outside." Zhuang Li deliberately made his words ambiguous.
At that moment, Yun Ming's heart began to beat wildly, and the desire he had suppressed with great difficulty burned like wildfire. He knew that Zhuang Li's glands were damaged and should not have any scent, but he could definitely smell the fragrance emanating from Zhuang Li.
At this moment, the fragrance changes from honey strawberry to the rich fragrance of poppy flowers. Just a slight sniff will make people feel dizzy as if walking on clouds.
Yun Ming was unknowingly hooked away by Zhuang Li's fingertips.
The soldiers he brought with him wanted to follow, but he stopped them sternly: "Wait here."
He barely suppressed the spasms and tremors of his vocal cords, but he could not suppress the restlessness and strong desire in his heart.
The scent Zhuang Li exuded was like a powerful drug to him, irresistible to him both physically and mentally. But when he lowered his eyes, he could see the hideous scar on the back of Zhuang Li's neck, the remains of a completely destroyed gland.
This shows that Zhuang Li does not emit any fragrance, so what is it that I smell?
Yun Ming was lost in thought the entire time. It was only when Zhuang Li pressed his shoulders down on the sofa that he realized he had unknowingly arrived at a huge underground laboratory. A light screen was suspended directly above the laboratory, and a video was playing on the screen.
"This is what I want the commander to see." Zhuang Li stood behind Yun Ming and pointed at the light screen.
Yun Ming raised his head and looked absentmindedly for a while, then his expression became more and more shocked.
It was not until this time that Zhuang Li put a plan into his arms. On the cover was written a line of large characters - "Zerg Extinction Plan".
In his native world, Zhuang Li, after growing up, pondered this question again and again: If I could go back in time and face those Zerg, what could I do for my country and my people? Could I save them?
This thought almost became his inner demon and a regret that he could never make up for.
Therefore, even after humans fled Earth and settled on Mars, escaping the Zerg's pursuit, he never stopped studying the Zerg. He conceived countless plans to exterminate the Zerg and produced many scientific research results, but none of them were put to good use.
But now, the situation was different. He could finally put all the extermination plans stored in his mind into full play.
"Commander, now you understand why I said you are not qualified to search this building? These scientific research results must not be leaked. After all, advanced Zerg can disguise themselves as humans and lurk around us." Zhuang Li pressed Yun Ming's shoulders, bent down slightly, and sprayed hot air in his ears.
Yun Ming's ears were burning hot, and his heart was also shocked beyond words.
He quickly read the plan, looked up at the screen, and said decisively, "I will contact the military leadership immediately."
"If you want me to continue my research in this area, you must give up Ouyang Mingtang." Zhuang Li straightened up and said coldly.
Yun Ming didn't hesitate for even a second. "Yes, if the military experts can prove that your research results are true and reliable, we will hand Ouyang Mingtang over to you."
7480: It's over, Ouyang Mingtang is dead! The egg really broke the stone.
