Chapter 095
Wu Zimo didn't realize that he had increased the Marshal's favorability again. He remembered that Rocard seemed to have sent an email to Scott before he left, so he asked curiously.
"What did Rocard send you before he left?" We were meeting face to face, and he still sent an email? Isn't this fun?
Wu Zimo didn't know what kind of email Rocard had just sent. Scott, who was in a good mood, suddenly looked dim.
"Scott?"
The change in Scott's eyes was so obvious, how could Wu Zimo, who was standing next to Scott, not notice it? When he spoke again, his voice was much lower, and a little cautious, "Did something happen?"
Scott said without any preparation: "It's the casualty report of this battle."
“…”
Scott's tone seemed calm, but Wu Zimo could sense from his eyes that his current mood was not as calm as it seemed.
As we all know, war is always accompanied by casualties. The heavy and depressing atmosphere of separation of wives and children, and destruction of families has always accompanied the emergence of war.
However, the war between the Interstellar Federation and the dimensional Zerg is not a meaningless war. This war is a battle for survival for the Federation. The soldiers who died on the battlefield made their loved ones sad, but to all the people of the Federation they were heroes, heroes worthy of everyone's admiration and remembrance.
Scott understood it, and Wu Zimo understood it too, but watching the lives passed away one after another, the heaviness and insignificance of life still made it hard to feel sorry.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming depressing because of this topic, it was Scott who finally changed the subject first.
"Don't worry, the Federation provides a lot of pensions for the fallen soldiers, and there are also many policies to help the orphans of soldiers."
Wu Zimo knew that this was Scott comforting him. Indeed, the various welfare systems of the federation have now become very complete, so that the soldiers fighting on the front lines have no worries.
Since Scott started the conversation, Wu Zimo followed his lead and changed the subject, praising the current federal welfare system.
You should know that Wu Zimo was also enjoying federal benefits before he became a minor. It is because of the perfect system that he lives such an easy life. Although the original owner didn't save much money, he was definitely not a poor person who couldn't even get enough food to eat.
Scott certainly knew what kind of life Wu Zimo had lived in the past. Thinking of Wu Zimo's parents, Scott paused, and finally said: "Wu Zimo, do you want to know who your parents are?"
"Parents?" Wu Zimo didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to his parents.
He himself is fine, as he had a healthy family in his previous life. Moreover, the two parents of the Wu family adopt a semi-hands-off approach to Wu Zimo's education, because they both believe that life belongs to the children, so they will not interfere too much. So even if Wu Zimo became a stay-at-home after graduating from university, his parents had no objection.
Then every time this was mentioned, Wu Zimo's friends were very envious of Wu Zimo for having such open-minded parents. Don't tell your children all day long about work, working hard to make money, getting married, marrying a good husband, having so many children, etc.
To be honest, sometimes they really feel that their parents are more annoying than Tang Seng, but they also understand that their parents are like this because they are worried about them, so they can patiently live with these nagging.
As for this life, Wu Zimo knew that the original owner had wanted to find his parents very much, and even if they had passed away, he still wanted to know about them.
Maybe all orphans have such thoughts when they are young, but when they grow up, their parents start to talk less about it.
Maybe as they grow up, they become more mature and perhaps they understand that for orphans, parents are just passers-by in their lives and their lives have to go on with or without parents.
Therefore, when the original owner was admitted to the first military academy of the Interstellar Federation, he rarely thought about his parents.
But Wu Zimo understood that the original owner didn't really want to do it, but had already given up. Maybe they were really dead, maybe they had completely abandoned him.
As mentioned before, the various federal measures are different from the era when Wu Zimo lived. In Wu Zimo's time, there were still parents who had a hard time finding their missing children, and kidnappers who sold children to other families.
However, in the interstellar age, everyone's genetic database is recorded when they are born. Just like an ID card, it can be forged, but genes cannot.
Therefore, if you want to find a child or a relative, you can register directly with the government’s welfare agency and then conduct genetic tracing. Parents and children are the easiest to pursue successfully.
So if the original owner's parents were not dead, it would be a very easy thing to find the original owner, but eighteen years have passed and the original owner has always been alone.
"It depends. Maybe they are still alive, maybe they are dead."
Wu Zimo is not the original owner, so he cannot represent how much opinion the original owner has about the original owner being the parent. So Wu Zimo chose to go with the flow, if he could really meet her.
Wu Zimo said it easily, but in Scott's eyes he was filled with heartache, because the boy in front of him was the apple of his eye.
"It's nothing. I'm used to it anyway." Wu Zimo said this on behalf of the original owner.
However, the emotions revealed in Scott's eyes became more and more passionate, and Wu Zimo, who was pretending to be relaxed, began to panic. He didn't know what expression to use to respond. His eyes began to wander, and he tried hard to pretend to be calm.
However, Wu Zimo's panic made Scott mistakenly believe that he was trying hard to hold back his sadness. The heartache in his heart made Scott follow his instinct again. He opened his arms and hugged the young boy Wu Zimo tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything from now on." The firm yet gentle voice made Wu Zimo feel that the words were a promise as heavy as Mount Tai.
"S..."
Scott suddenly said this to him, and his nostrils were filled with Scott's masculine scent. Wu Zimo felt his head getting a little dizzy again, and Ares in the spiritual world couldn't help but start jumping around.
Wu Zimo's instinct told him that he must not go on like this, but he was still attached to Scott's unique scent. This schizophrenic thought made Wu Zimo even more unsure of how to react.
Scott saw Wu Zimo leaning obediently in his arms without struggling, his eyes becoming more and more gentle, full of doting that was enough to make one sick to death.
"You don't need to think too much."
Although Scott was reluctant, he finally took the initiative to let Wu Zimo go. Now they are on the bridge, and there are many technicians around. Even if they want to say something to Wu Zimo, the Marshal will definitely not choose such a place!
Finally, Scott let him go, but Wu Zimo still felt dizzy. He looked at Scott in a daze, and then responded instinctively: "Oh."
Wu Zimo's cute reaction almost made the Marshal burst out laughing again, but he finally held it back. Seeing Wu Zimo like this, he knew he couldn't continue the conversation, so he had to choose to take him back to the lounge first.
Scott took Wu Zimo's hand, and the dazed Wu Zimo could only quietly walk to the lounge under Scott's guidance.
Before leaving, the Marshal's eyes turned back to their original coldness when he lifted them from Wu Zimo, and then his cold silver pupils swept over the technicians who were secretly glancing at him and Wu Zimo.
The Marshal's blatant warning made their hearts pounding wildly, even though they had just seen a scene that almost made them scream.
After Scott silently warned the gossiping onlookers with his eyes, he looked down at Wu Zimo and his eyes instantly returned to their original gentleness.
Even schizophrenia doesn’t change so quickly!
Only after Scott and Wu Zimo left the bridge did the technicians on the bridge breathe a sigh of relief, and then the screams that had just been suppressed finally came out.
"Ah! Did you see that just now?"
"I see, I see. I'm definitely not dreaming!"
"Yes, I hugged you! It was the Marshal who took the initiative!"
"Fuck! Well done, Marshal. This is how you should take the initiative!"
"Hehehe, it looks like our Xiao Wu won't be able to escape this time."
"Yeah, hehehe."
The original screams soon turned into continuous and very obscene laughter.
Fortunately, Wu Zimo did not hear the technicians on the bridge who had changed the topic to driving, otherwise he would have either dug a hole and bury himself in it or beaten up the marshal first.
As for which method is simpler, it depends on personal opinion.
Wu Zimo has no time to care about what's happening outside now, because Ares in the spiritual world is getting angry again, and the Marshal is watching him covetously. Wu Zimo says that he has no idea what to do in this situation!
Ares, be excited!
Marshal, could you please leave me here for now and go to work?
