Chapter 067
“…”
The Marshal's sudden question scared Wu Zimo so much that he almost dropped his chopsticks.
So what on earth made Scott think he liked eating bugs? Well, okay, although his interest has always been on insects since the academic year assessment, that was also the result of him being poisoned by novels.
If those dimensional Zergs can really eat, with the fighting power of the foodies, it would be a piece of cake to eliminate them. Of course, although this statement is exaggerated, Wu Zimo definitely feels much better than it is now.
At present, no benefits have been found for the dimensional Zerg. If they are really edible, they will be beneficial to interstellar people, especially sentinel guides. Wu Zimo believed that given the character of those unscrupulous businessmen, it was impossible for them to let go of such a big piece of cake.
Now the only ones fighting against the dimensional Zerg are soldiers from the Federation. Not to mention ordinary civilians, even those mercenaries roaming around the planets in the interstellar space rarely choose dimensional Zerg as their opponents unless necessary.
It is because there is no benefit to be gained from that group of dimensional Zerg, but they must be eliminated. From this point of view, the enthusiasm for eliminating them is really not that high among forces other than the Federal Legion.
It's not that those forces are selfish. If it is a matter of national survival, they certainly will not stand idly by. But now, only interests can drive it forward.
Scott didn't know what was going on in Wu Zimo's mind. He only saw him looking at him blankly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. He thought Wu Zimo felt embarrassed, but in fact he didn't want to get a clear answer from Wu Zimo.
Scott asked this question out of pure curiosity. Yes! The Marshal is also curious!
"Pick up your chopsticks."
"Scott, actually I'm not, no, although I like to eat bugs, but not the kind of like you think. So, uh... do you understand what I want to say?"
Wu Zimo felt that he should explain and couldn't let Scott misunderstand him like this. But I didn’t know how to explain it for a moment. If I said he didn’t like it, that was not right. But if I said he didn’t like it, that was not right either…
Poor Wu Zimo, he originally wanted to explain, but ended up confusing himself.
"Ahem." Seeing Wu Zimo looking at him pitifully as if he hoped he could understand, the Marshal almost couldn't hold back his icy face. He coughed lightly and nodded, indicating that he understood what Wu Zimo wanted to say.
"Pick up your chopsticks. Aren't you looking forward to today's dishes?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I came here today specially to support Luo Ye." Hearing Scott's words, Wu Zimo's anxious mood immediately turned into eyes full of smiles. My male god is really considerate!
Scott, who was in a good mood, suddenly heard Wu Zimo mention Luo Ye, and his eyes moved. He used a knife to cut the back of the scorpion in the casserole in front of him. The rich salty and fragrant aroma filled his nose. Only then did he casually ask Wu Zimo, who was already gnawing on a string of roasted locust hind legs.
"Do you like Luo Ye very much?"
"Luo Ye? I like him." Of course I like him. Luo Ye is not only a gentle person, but most importantly, he is a very good chef!
So, for foodies, it is indeed very easy to gain favor with chefs.
"Really?" Hearing Wu Zimo's cheerful answer, Scott's eyes suddenly became gloomy, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he subconsciously pursed his lips.
The force that was originally gently cutting the scorpion's back suddenly increased. The tip of the knife pierced through the scorpion meat and directly hit the bottom of the casserole, making a harsh sound.
"Scott?"
Marshal Scott was looked at with a puzzled look by Wu Zimo, but he picked up the dinner knife very calmly and shook his head at Wu Zimo.
Wu Zimo could never have guessed that the Marshal's strange reaction just now was because he was so happy to say that he liked Luo Ye. Seeing Scott's calm expression, Wu Zimo was not puzzled, but smiled and recommended to Scott the roasted locust hind legs he was eating now.
"Scott, try this. It tastes better than roast lamb."
Wu Zimo has long known that insects, a wild delicacy, have a very special flavor when eaten. However, the insects he ate before were too small. They are nothing like now. Every bite is like meat!
This allows Wu Zimo to enjoy the special taste of insect meat. Insects are different from animals. Their muscle texture, muscle fibers, and even the amount of movement between them are different.
Wu Zimo felt that the insect meat in his mouth was firmer and chewier.
Scott saw that Wu Zimo's black eyes were full of his reflection, and for a moment, his originally depressed mood improved again.
He took the roasted locust hind leg skewer from Wu Zimo's hand and took a bite under Wu Zimo's expectant gaze. To be honest, even when eating this kind of street stall food, the Marshal can eat it elegantly as if he is dining in a noble restaurant.
But Wu Zimo didn't have time to complain about this now, he was waiting for Scott's comment.
Wu Zimo is now like the type who shares his favorite things with his friends, and hopes that his friends will like them. He looks at Scott with full expectation.
Scott chewed slowly, and saw Wu Zimo scratching anxiously from the corner of his eyes. The smile in his eyes deepened, and he stopped teasing him and said slowly: "It smells good."
"Hahaha, I told you Scott that you would definitely like it. Come on, there is also lobster and clam seafood soup, which is also very sweet."
Wu Zimo served the food to Scott, and of course he also complained that the interstellar lobsters had not changed at all, while the clams that were originally only the size of fingers had become as big as abalone. At first Wu Zimo thought it was abalone that had made a big fool of itself.
He was wondering how abalone evolved two shells to hide itself.
Scott watched Wu Zimo naturally serve the food for him, and his eyes turned to the plate of fried cicadas. When Wu Zimo was about to pick up one, a pair of chopsticks was faster than his. By the time Wu Zimo reacted, a crispy fried cicada was placed on the half-eaten white rice.
"Ah, thank you."
To be honest, Wu Zimo was a little scared when he saw the Marshal personally picking food for him. His movements were so natural out of sheer habit.
In his previous life, Wu Zimo was a otaku, but he was not one of those otakus who literally stayed at home and never went out. He also had guys he could date and chat with.
There are also various peers, younger generations and elders in the family, so the habit of greeting people warmly was developed. After being in the interstellar world for such a long time, Wu Zimo discovered that few interstellar people seemed to like to pick up food for others. Maybe families might have such a habit, but he had never seen it.
When eating with Lyle, it was a fast food meal with one plate per person, and he didn't even need to order anything.
Therefore, after such a long time in the interstellar space, the first person to enjoy Wu Zimo's service was only the Marshal.
What Wu Zimo didn't know was that he was also the first person to enjoy the service of the Marshal personally picking up food for him, and depending on the circumstances, he might also be the only person.
Scott looked at Wu Zimo and smiled at him with narrowed eyes, then he very naturally picked up the fried cicada that he had passed to him, put it in front of his mouth, and ate it directly.
When the golden cicada was put into Wu Zimo's mouth with chopsticks, Scott suddenly felt hungry, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wu Zimo became more and more deep and unfathomable.
Wu Zimo was already attracted by the delicious food in front of him and didn't notice the change in Scott's eyes opposite him. However, after eating the food that his idol picked for him, Wu Zimo became even more enthusiastic towards him.
That’s how it was. Both sides interacted with each other, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more warm and harmonious.
In his previous life, Wu Zimo had always complained about the Chinese style of discussing things at the dinner table, but only those who have experienced it know that it is indeed very easy to achieve twice the result with half the effort by discussing things in such a harmonious atmosphere.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Wu Zimo found an excuse and put forward the suggestion he had planned at the beginning to Scott.
When he heard Wu Zimo actually suggest that he go see a doctor for a physical examination, of course he didn't say it so clearly. He used the excuse of being concerned about Scott. As the marshal of the Condemnation Legion, he was so busy all day long that even a powerful Sentinel would not be able to cope with it.
Moreover, Scott's health is related to the Condemnation Legion and even the Federation. With such a big hat put on him, ordinary people would have nodded in agreement long ago. However, sitting opposite Wu Zimo was Scott Alman, the Marshal of the Condemnation Legion.
Of course, it was impossible for him to agree just because Wu Zimo urged him to do so. Because if Scott asked a doctor to check his body for no reason, the chain reaction would be significant.
However, Wu Zimo proposed this because he genuinely cared about him, and Scott didn't really want to refuse.
Of course, the Marshal knew that Rocard had gone to see Wu Zimo this morning, but they discussed things in Wu Zimo's laboratory. Scott didn't have the habit of peeping, so he didn't know what they talked about.
But Wu Zimo suddenly had an idea. In addition to the fact that his behavior last night did scare Wu Zimo, it must also be the result of Rocard's instigation.
When Scott mentioned Rocard, who loved to stir up trouble, his eyes did not change, but he thought in his heart that Rocard was indeed too idle.
Poor Rocard, who was busy running errands for Wu Zimo, was targeted by the Marshal again. Please observe a second of silence for this scapegoat.
Chapter 068
Scott did not give Wu Zimo a clear reply, but when Wu Zimo saw the look in Scott's eyes, he knew that he was seriously considering his suggestion, so he stopped pursuing it. Scott is an adult and should have his own thoughts.
Wu Zimo was very satisfied with today's dinner, not only because his relationship with his idol had taken a step forward, but most importantly, the dishes developed by Luo Ye were indeed delicious!
After Scott sent the happy Wu Zimo back to his room, there was still an indelible smile in his eyes. On the road, he met Rocard who had been waiting for him. After being discovered by the sharp-eyed Rocard, if he didn't tease Scott with a smile on his face, Rocard would be unworthy of the hidden title of the leader of the gossip cult.
"Hey, our male god looks so happy today. Are you happy about the dinner with Wu Xiaomo?"
When he saw Rocard, Scott's eyes returned to normal. He looked at Rocard with a calm expression as he had a teasing smile on his face.
Of course Rocard was happy to tease Scott, but the person being teased looked at him with an icy face. Only Rocard was thick-skinned and was not affected at all. Others would definitely be scared by Scott's icy face.
"I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk in your room."
The reason why Rocard intercepted Scott on the way from Wu Zimo's room to Scott's room was of course because he received news that Wu Zimo had made an appointment with Scott for dinner tonight.
As a good friend of the Interstellar Federation, Rocard would certainly not seek out Scott to discuss matters while Scott and Wu Zimo were dating. He would never do such a depressing thing.
That's why he was waiting on the road, but when he saw Scott appear so soon, Rocard looked at Scott with a look of disappointment.
Since you've sent Wu Zimo back to his room, wouldn't you go in and sit for a while or something, and then chat for a few minutes? Wouldn't that make the relationship between the two of you even closer?
However, Rocard understood that given Scott's taciturn personality, chatting with him would not be as fun as talking to himself.
Scott looked at Rocard's constantly changing expressions, glanced at him, and then ignored what he was thinking, walked straight past Rocard and went to his room.
Rocard, who was in an unknown world, saw Scott walk away without paying any attention to him, so he immediately chased after him and shouted, "Scott, why are you running so fast? I really have something important to talk to you about."
Scott was called again, and he quietly glanced at Rocard who was shouting behind him. After confirming that Rocard really had something important to talk to him about and not gossiping, he said to him lightly: "Follow me."
"Tsk, you're still so cold. I told you to be like this when you're with that little guy Wu Xiaomo." Rocard said as he followed Scott into his room.
Scott's Room Rocard came to his room as casually as if he were in his own room, and ran to the pantry to make himself a cup of coffee and milk tea. As for the Marshal sitting outside, Adjutant Rocard said that the Marshal had his own hands and feet, so there was no need for him to entertain him.
I have to say that as the adjutant of the marshal, Rocard is a very unique person.
Scott ignored Rocard walking around in his room. He sat on a chair, turned on his laptop, and looked at tomorrow's schedule.
After finishing his work, Rocard walked over to Scott with a cup of smoking coffee and milk tea and sat down. He watched Scott work without saying a word.
However, after Rocard sat down, Scott put away his laptop and looked at the smiling Rocard opposite him with an inexplicable look.
"Why?" It was Scott who broke the atmosphere of the two people staring at each other in the room.
"Why?" Rocard was asked. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Scott with a confused look on his face.
However, the Marshal was not so easily fooled by Rocard. His silver eyes kept looking at the stupid Rocard calmly.
To be honest, it seems that there has not been a person in the entire interstellar development who can look the Marshal in the eye without being defeated, so Rocard is destined to be defeated under the sight of the Marshal.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, okay?" So Marshal, please don't look at him like that, it's too creepy!
Although Scott averted his gaze, he was still waiting for Rocard's answer.
“……” Knowing that he couldn’t get away with it, Rocard had to put away the nonchalant look on his face and became serious.
“Scott, don’t you realize that you are very special to this young man Wu Zimo?”
Rocard was so direct all of a sudden, and Scott's silver pupils became darker.
Not to mention that Rocard discovered this problem, even Scott himself had long noticed that his attitude towards the young man Wu Zimo was very special. Not only him, but even his quantum beast Caesar showed a very intimate attitude when he first saw Wu Zimo.
Caesar is a quantum beast, a high-dimensional creature that is the manifestation of his mental power.
Although he is an independent individual, he is still the main body, so Caesar's behavior can actually be viewed from another perspective as his instinctive reaction.
That's right, it was him, not Caesar.
Seeing that Scott was lost in thought over what he had said, Rocard stopped talking about the subject. However, we don’t need to talk about Wu Zimo, but Scott’s strange behavior last night requires Scott to explain it clearly to him, no matter whether Rocard is his adjutant or Scott’s friend.
"What on earth happened to you last night?"
If Rocard had not learned from Wu Zimo that Scott was not suffering from mental mania last night, he would never have allowed Scott to sit and chat with him so leisurely.
Scott has his own considerations regarding Wu Zimo's matter, and this issue is his own private matter, which Scott doesn't like to let outsiders know about.
Although he understood that Rocard was right, his attitude towards Wu Zimo was really too peculiar. However, he hasn't figured out everything about Wu Zimo yet, but looking at the current situation, he can't escape anymore.
As for Rokar's worried inquiry, Scott thought about it and said, "I felt a strange mental fluctuation in Wu Zimo's room last night."
Scott did not carry the guide pheromone with that mental power fluctuation, and his abnormality was caused by that guide pheromone.
For some reason, Scott had a hunch that he really didn't want people to know that he was seduced by the pheromones of that strange guide.
"Strange mental power? Are you sure?"
Rocard didn't know what Scott had concealed, but when he heard the strange mental fluctuations suddenly appearing in Wu Zimo's room, he immediately sat up straight and looked at Scott with a serious expression.
Scott nodded, "It was indeed a strange mental power, but after Caesar and I rushed over, that mental power disappeared."
"Where is Wu Zimo? Is he okay?" There were strange mental fluctuations in Wu Zimo's room, which was a very dangerous thing.
Wu Zimo is an ordinary person, and he has no ability to fight against either the sentinels or the guides.
"He's fine."
Now when Scott thinks back on it, his heart tightens. If that strange mental force was hostile to Wu Zimo at that time, Wu Zimo, as an ordinary person, would not have been able to resist it at all!
Rocard finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Wu Zimo was fine. At the same time, I also remembered that I saw Wu Zimo this morning and he was still lively and energetic. He was indeed not affected by that strange mental power.
"Does Scott know what happened?" The sudden appearance of a strange mental force at the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion was no small matter.
"The main control system did not detect any signs of strangers entering the headquarters."
Even though Scott had some doubts about the main control system's answer, he had to suppress his suspicions because he believed that with the current capabilities of the Federation and the Mora Empire, it would be impossible to conceal the surveillance of the main control system. So if the main control system says no, then it is indeed impossible for someone to sneak in.
"Could it be that another quantum beast with special abilities has appeared?"
Since the main control system said that no one had sneaked in, there was only one other possibility, that is, a quantum beast with very special abilities had appeared again. It can avoid the surveillance of the main control system, appear in Wu Zimo's room, and then disappear quickly.
The main control system of the Sky Punishment Headquarters can monitor people, but it cannot monitor high-dimensional creatures like quantum beasts, so not to mention Rocard, even Scott thinks so.
It has to be said that the two top leaders of the Condemnation Legion did tell the truth in some respects.
