Chapter 80 Change
"Lins, there you are! Instructor Pedder is looking for you!"
"It's break time." Lins didn't even raise his eyelids. He gently kicked the ground with his long legs hanging outside, and the sleeping bag woven with spider silk began to shake slightly.
It was a hot day and he hid in the shade of the tree and didn't want to leave for a moment.
"He has something to take care of, so he wants you to cover his class." The person who brought the message was Rex.
"No substitute."
Damn old hand, you could tell at a glance when he was teaching that he had driven a mecha before.
When simulating a battle with him, the difficulty was set to A. Lins didn't know the level of the Zerg's mechas, and he actually fell into the trap of this old hand.
This guy is said to be a wolf spider, and his body is covered with fur, so he is extremely afraid of heat.
The one who delivered the message was Rex. After being decisively rejected by Lins, he scratched his head and sat down on the steps nearby. "Is there any water? It's scorching hot."
"Here." Lins tossed him his half-drunk bottle of mineral water. "Don't talk to him."
"You're so picky, I don't mind you." Rex unscrewed the bottle cap. "Why don't I see Ashley?"
It's become an open secret that Ashley and Lins are two idiots who are inseparable from each other.
It seems that Lins's female love is very promising.
"There." Lins raised his chin.
Rex looked up and saw two slender legs emerging from among the lush branches.
The wind happened to blow at this time, and the branches shook, revealing the huge spider hiding above.
"grass!"
Rex happened to meet Ashley's eyes as she looked down.
Scarlet eyes from a predator.
He shuddered and the mineral water fell out of his hand.
"My water."
Lins frowned, and saw a spider silk quickly roll up the water bottle, shaking it without spilling a drop of water.
"Ah, Senior Ashley." Rex quickly stood up, his attitude servile and humble. "Sorry to bother you. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he ran away.
"?" Lins looked at his receding figure, then glanced at Ashley. "Why is he running so fast?"
Ashley shook her head slightly.
He didn't look at Lins.
His eyes fell on the bottle of water without a cap.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, hidden in the silver suppression ring.
It's very hot.
So he can drink water too.
Even that flying insect can drink...
Ashley's lips were pressed into a thin line, with the ends slightly turned down.
Lins flared his nostrils slightly and smelled the scent of pheromones.
Dissatisfaction, anxiety, and desire?
He was a little uncertain, and always felt that what these pheromones conveyed was becoming clearer and clearer.
What happened to Ashley?
The young man sitting on the swing looked up and happened to see Ashley drinking water with his head tilted back.
Gurgle gurgle.
The water soon dried up.
So Ashley is thirsty?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lins said with a smile, "How could I not give you a drink?"
Poor little spider, he's so thirsty.
"Look, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost given it all to Rex."
Ashley dropped his eyes, and he became even more unhappy.
"Lins!" a voice came from not far away, "You're so bold! You even dare to disobey the instructor!"
"How dare you say that?" Lins said with a grin. "How dare I say that?"
"Then you come back with me, and you will watch over them during the next class test."
"I..." Lins was about to refuse.
Instructor Pedder grinned and said, "Little guy, where did you learn to use mechas? The E241 desolate planet doesn't even have any aircraft, but there are quite a few pirates around it."
"I still have quite a few colleagues stationed there. I wonder if any of them are familiar to you?"
“…”
Lins gritted his teeth.
His hometown written on his enrollment information is the desolate planet E241. This desolate planet is extremely remote and has been out of orbit. All the residents have been relocated and it will be destroyed within three months.
Few people would pay attention to this dying planet, so I boldly wrote this up. Even if I want to check it later, there will be no evidence.
As luck would have it, this small planet, which had long been slowly drifting away from its orbit, merged into the Faulkner Route where pirates were rampant.
This route was just cleared by the army sent by the empire three months ago.
As luck would have it, Instructor Pede was one of these female soldiers.
So he was certain that Lins, who came from a desolate planet and was very skilled in mechas, was once a space pirate.
It's just that he has turned over a new leaf now.
Instructor Pedder didn't want to report Lins. He knew that any female insect that managed to survive on the deserted planet would not have clean hands.
After all, to survive in a barbaric and disorderly environment, you still need teeth and fists.
As long as they are not on the wanted list, it means they have not committed any serious crime.
But this did not prevent the instructor, who was afraid of heat and fatigue, from using this as an excuse to obtain a very useful and practical "teaching assistant".
Lins is certainly not a pirate, but his identity is even more difficult to verify than that of a pirate.
——This body appeared out of thin air.
No past, no relatives, just an unknown manufacturer, from a seemingly unreliable system.
Lins doesn't think the system will help him deal with his identity, background, and upbringing.
So he'd better not take any risks.
"I'll go." Lins also grinned, his little white fangs hidden in the gap between his lips in a fake way, "Of course I'll go."
"Oh, my little Lins, I will definitely give you a top score."
Instructor Pedder winked at him. The instructor had very thick hair, eyebrows and even eyelashes, which made him look very hot.
"You should." Lins smiled.
"Little Lins, you don't have to be so polite..." Instructor Pedder suddenly stopped talking. "No, you're talking about what I should do? Little Lins, you're the squad leader. Helping the instructor is your duty."
Lins smirked as he jumped off the swing.
Start collecting spider silk.
"This skill is really practical." Instructor Pedder exclaimed, "You're quite skillful."
"Your fur collar is nowhere near as practical." Lins's smile was genuine now. He had never seen a wolf spider before. "Let's have a fight with the prototypes when we have a chance, Instructor Pedder."
Lins's sense of humor got the better of him, so he pressed the issue, "Do wolf spiders wear fur collars in the summer? Or do they shed their fur? Will you get prickly heat in such a hot weather?"
"Oh, by the way, when you take a shower, do you use shampoo directly instead of shower gel?"
Now it was Instructor Pedder's turn to be speechless.
After a while, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his neck and said in a dark tone, "Little Lins, you're not cute at all. No wonder Bernie has already reported you to the Discipline Office several times."
Lins shrugged.
"How good can you spiders be? Humph." Pedder snorted twice, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He raised his head suddenly and jumped back at the same time.
"Ashley." The playful smile on Pedder's face disappeared completely. He looked at the branches warily, his heart beating wildly.
A semi-atavistic spotted spider was less than ten meters away from his head.
And he was completely unaware of it.
——How terrible.
If he were an enemy, he would have been beheaded by now.
This is the [Grim Reaper] that Cocker became famous for.
"Let's go, Ashley."
Lins had already gathered the spider silk and put it behind his ear.
Pedder was still standing in the distance. He had met Ashley before.
At that time, Ashley had gone berserk and was injected with a tranquilizer gun remotely by an expert.
More than the dose needed for a giant planet.
Even so, Ashley did not fall down immediately.
The scarlet insect patterns on his huge spider abdomen looked like spreading blood vessels.
All eight eyes on the face opened, turning into vertical pupils that made one's back chill.
The pheromones emanating from his body were so terrifying that they became a nightmare for all the insects present.
While carrying out the arrest mission, Ped Yak also heard some unknown news.
"His genes are unstable. Once Sandy's genes begin to dominate, the damage they cause will be immeasurable."
——"We should shoot him."
——"He is the only S+ who survived."
Several researchers were discussing and didn't notice him standing outside the window.
In the end, the top management did not kill Ashley. He was imprisoned in a special cage, which was covered with black cloth to cover up all traces.
No one knows what happened to Ashley.
Pedder had passed by the cage from a distance.
A terrifying pressure emanated from it, followed by creaking and the sound of metal colliding.
A researcher turned on the button on the wall with an expressionless face and warned him not to stay here.
Pedder turned and left.
A strong blue electric light lit up from the cage, illuminating the area in front of him.
Even the black cloth could not hide it.
Later, Pedder had no news about where Ashley was taken.
He began to look up information about "Shandi".
Finally he found it.
A spider-like mother that appeared 209 years ago.
——So Ashley is the product of the fusion of Zerg genes and Zerg genes.
——It is a test subject for insect experiments.
He thought of a theory that was not mainstream.
Homology theory: Xingzhi and the Zerg have the same origin, but were separated from the Zerg due to a catastrophe in ancient times. Over time, they formed two species.
Since the atavism of female Zerg will greatly increase their combat power, what will be the effect of implanting the genes of the ancient Zerg ancestor, which is today's Star Beast, into the Zerg embryo?
Will his combat power increase significantly?
Pedder realized that this was something that could not be touched, so he did not investigate further.
But the seeds of fear had been sown.
Until he heard the news that Ashley had returned to school.
Because he was injured on the battlefield, he temporarily retreated to the second line and became an instructor at Dianlin Military Academy.
Ashley never took any combat classes.
So today was only the second time he had seen Ashley.
But it seems that Ashley has changed a lot.
"Senior Ashley, help me share half of the burden." Lins stretched, "I'll treat you to a midnight snack."
"Um."
"What would I do without you, Ashley-senpai~"
Ashley didn't reply.
The two of them gradually changed from walking one in front and one behind to walking side by side.
Their steps were extremely consistent, with a special rhythm.
Instructor Pedder stood there, watching the two men go away.
Besides being shocked, he felt mixed emotions.
I didn't know whether to warn Lins or feel relieved for Ashley.
Yes, he was happy for Ashley.
Because when he gave up pursuing the matter, he felt an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart.
Perhaps this guilt had already arisen when he turned around in front of the cage.
It is a female soldier's sense of justice, a sympathy for the suffering of her compatriots, a fear of those who are not of her own kind, and a guilt for knowing that she cannot compete and so chooses to turn a blind eye.
Was it Lins... who changed him?
