Chapter 109
Lin Han stood very straight, carefully protecting the little guy's head when getting on the elevator, and then walked into the cockpit amid the envious or surprised eyes of the students.
Some people were whispering about something, but the wind was strong enough for Lin Han to hear clearly.
They might be curious about their own identity, or they might be discussing their relationship with He Yunting.
Or, he would express his affection for the little one on his shoulders.
After the heavy cabin door was closed, blocking out all the wind and whispers outside, Lin Han wrapped Gululu in the small blanket he brought from home, found a comfortable corner for it to rest, and then looked at the silent man beside him.
He Yunting wore the formal suit he wore when they first met. He did not ask Lin Han why he brought this little guy with him. He just turned off the display screen outside so that Lin Han could not see the curious people outside.
The M2742 only stopped for a short while, and after picking up the person it wanted, it quickly restarted its engine and left.
"What's the situation now?" Lin Han asked naturally.
He was not in a hurry to go to the second cockpit. Anyway, there was no need for any complicated operations now. He just needed to drive with low energy consumption.
He Yunting explained the general situation to Lin Han.
Now the biggest berthing problem has been solved, at least it can be guaranteed that no new Zerg will come from that place. The cost of coming to the border area is too high, and even the Zerg will not choose such a cost-unworthy path.
Therefore, the next task is very clear, which is to guard all the remaining ports and prevent the opponent from finding a breakthrough as much as possible.
There are thirteen berths on the main star, and corresponding troops have been deployed at each berth. Almost all the mechas currently in service at the base have been deployed, and the secondary deployment has also been allocated. The three branches of the base are divided into thirteen formations around the core area. Different forces and mechas are arranged to respond according to the situation, and each formation also has its own commander.
The crown prince of the empire always needs care in such circumstances. Needless to say, Wen Zhao has his own personal guards, Wen Tianyao has the city defense forces, and the remaining princes will be given some soldiers to protect them.
However, with the development of the M galaxy, especially Wen Zhao's generation, there are only a few princes left. The previously beloved Prince Wen Ye died in the war, and the remaining Wen Yu and Wen Heng have no real power. Pheromones and abilities speak for themselves. Both of them have their own territories and live a stable life, and they will not stir up trouble.
Among them, the sub-star where Wen Yu is located is particularly remote, almost at the same level as a proton star, but its location is closer to the main star. The task of Lu Huai, the leader of the second base, is to protect three of the berths and the safety of the sub-planet where Wen Yu is located.
Only very few people know that there is an extremely secret jump point at the harbor of the sub-star where Wen Yu is located.
Although in terms of scale, the energy of this jump point is less than one-tenth of the other energy-consuming jump points in the M galaxy, and because no one knows about it, there will be no mechas or starships jumping here on weekdays. The people of the empire think that this is just an ordinary sub-star.
Those who know that there is a jump point here are either royals born into noble families or generals with military power.
——Because the secret here is not just the existence of a jump point.
This is a jump point left over from a war many years ago. It can start from the core area, directly cross the docking port, and travel to other galaxies at high speed under sufficient energy conditions.
In other words, if the location of this jump point is known to other galaxies, it would be tantamount to exposing the entire core area of the empire to the enemy without any defense.
"So who probably knows about this jump point?" Lin Han asked.
He Yunting frowned and said, "Very little. His Majesty told me this himself. This jump point is too secret and has been hidden for a long time. Apart from him and Prince Wen Yu himself, I don't think Wen Tianyao knows about it."
He Yunting is actually very stubborn sometimes. He appears to be respectful to people he doesn't like, but when he is in front of Lin Han, he still calls her by her real name.
"Where is Major General Lu Huai?"
"His father participated in the battle there, so he is one of the very few people who know about it."
So in fact, Wen Yu has been guarding that sub-star for so many years, and he is also guarding this unknown jump point in disguise, guarding the important gateway of the core area.
"This time he goes to Prince Wenyu's sub-star, and he will do his best to protect it." He Yunting said, "But..."
Since there is no guarantee that the Zerg are aware of this fact, the existence of this jump point is actually more dangerous.
If there is a one in a thousand chance that the Zerg knows this jump point, even if there are city defense forces in the core area and some soldiers in the base left behind, they still cannot withstand this disaster.
On the battlefield, He Yunting would not leave any chance for the enemy.
The jump point originally existed for the evacuation of the core area back then, but after so many years, compared to the current situation, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
If necessary, under the current circumstances, He Yunting would not hesitate to destroy this jump point.
However, if He Yunting appeared directly on the sub-star where Wen Yu was, it would be tantamount to telling the enemy that there was something wrong with this place and that it needed to be heavily guarded, which would only make it more obvious.
What's more, the current situation does not allow him to go directly to the sub-star.
There are far more important tasks than this.
Even though Lin Han didn't know much about the deployment of the main star and the core area, a place name still came to his mind: "Fortress X?"
Compared to the deserted sub-star, this place is the most critical fortress connecting to the main star. It has the highest terrain. From this fortress down is a vast civilian area. Going deeper is the core area that everyone yearns for.
The steel beetles in the largest berth have been wiped out. If all the following berths are well guarded, or if one or two berths are defeated due to insufficient manpower, it will not attract a large-scale Zerg invasion. After all, the carrying capacity of the berths is limited.
Fortress X is different.
If the Zerg do not want to attack in batches from one port to another, storming the fortress is another option.
Of course, the Empire's military strength is among the best in the galaxy, and everyone knows that Fortress X is as solid as a rock, and it is not easy to break through.
However, the Zerg are brutal and violent by nature. They would rather fight to the death and suffer losses on both sides. As long as they can destroy the opponent, they will not feel that they have failed.
Therefore, Fortress X must be defended, and the most elite troops must be used to defend it.
The only problem was that Lu Huai was originally going to go to Fortress X with them, so that the troops would be just enough. But the jump point of Wen Yuzi Star is equally important. As one of the very few people who know about it in the base, Lu Huai must go there in person to ensure that everything is safe.
The two sides kept in close contact at all times. If any signs of Zerg infestation were found on Wen Yu's sub-star, Lu Huai would use the energy from that place to blow up the jump point, just like he did when the battleship was in the border area, leaving the Zerg no chance to take advantage.
"So we have to go to Fortress X, right?" Lin Han asked calmly, as if he was just asking He Yunting to pick him up after get off work, rather than about to face a more urgent situation than before.
"Um."
He Yunting was originally checking the message sent by Lu Anhe. When he heard Lin Han ask this, he looked up at him.
He was sitting in the driver's seat, while Lin Han was still standing at the cabin door, holding the mechanical frame that was glowing with a cold light.
"It's still about half a day's journey to Fortress X." He Yunting said to Lin Han, "Let's take a break."
After listening to all the plans, the young man suddenly smiled faintly and said something.
He Yunting didn't hear clearly. After confirming that there were no unexpected situations, he input an automatic driving command similar to that of an aircraft into the driving system, then stood up and walked towards Lin Han.
He was tall, but when he looked at Lin Han, he lost the indifference he usually had towards other people.
He Yunting asked, "What's wrong?"
But when he held Lin Han's hand the next second, the words in his heart still echoed.
[Don't be afraid.] 】
"I just said..."
Lin Han tiptoed lightly and hooked his arms around He Yunting's neck. The cold and indifferent look he had when he spoke angrily at the parliament in the afternoon disappeared completely. He leaned towards the other's chest and felt the cold medal rubbing against his skin through the cloth, which made him feel slightly itchy.
"I said, this will look more like an elopement."
Lin Han put his lips close to his ear and repeated it very softly and slowly.
He Yunting looked a little surprised, but did not ask anything.
For example, who would elope to a battlefield? Another example, he came to pick up Lin Han today under the watchful eyes of everyone, so where could he elope to?
"Yeah." But he finally responded.
Then just elope, there's nothing wrong with that.
He understood what Lin Han was hesitant to say.
Lin Han was still hooking her arms around his neck, and He Yunting took the opportunity to reach out and pull him into his arms.
He imitated Lin Han's action of rubbing Gululu's head and put his five fingers into the young man's soft black hair, stroking it gently.
He felt that Lin Han's emotions were still somewhat unstable, so he could only learn to comfort him in this way.
It was not until He Yunting made this move that Lin Han's heart suddenly felt sore and some very secret emotions were finally released at this moment.
"He Yunting." Lin Han pulled the fabric on his back and called his name.
"Um."
"You know, I'm actually... not scared."
"Um."
"But I couldn't help myself and said something in parliament today."
"Yes, I know."
"By the way, I met the Emperor when I left. He sent someone to take me back, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten home by now."
"Um."
"I..." Lin Han tightened his hands, "I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems like everyone knows me all of a sudden."
"I'm not nervous..." Lin Han felt that he was rarely chattering, and his words were not coherent. He actually didn't think there was anything to be afraid of, but under He Yunting's gentle movements, he wanted to say everything, "I'm just a little uncomfortable."
He has always been low-key and quiet. Even though he was mentally prepared for He Yunting, he still felt a little uneasy when he was alone.
"Is what I said today a little impulsive?" Lin Han said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it will affect you."
He Yunting paused, lowered his head slightly, pulled out his fingers, and kissed Lin Han's hair tenderly again.
His answer speaks for itself.
"That's right, you weren't angry about those voices before," Lin Han murmured, thinking of the days when He Yunting was misunderstood by public opinion.
"I'm not scared, really..." Feeling the other party's actions, Lin Han felt some unknown grievance in his heart. He disliked himself for being too overthinking and not as free and easy as he expected.
"Um."
He Yunting hugged him tighter: "I know."
[Actually, it’s okay to be afraid. 】
After hearing his words, Lin Han finally relaxed completely.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it so much." Lin Han raised his face again and smiled at He Yunting, just like when he just boarded the mecha.
His eyes were still filled with the gorgeous sunset in the evening. The originally gorgeous sunset glow became lingering and tender when he took it into his eyes: "Anyway, if I had the chance to do it again, I would make the same choice."
"Thank you for your comfort, General."
He Yunting was a little confused: "I didn't..."
He obviously didn't say anything.
Lin Han looked at the cockpit in front of him.
He remembered the time when he was in the border area. He was in heat and felt very uncomfortable. He begged He Yunting to bite him.
It was also in this position that he was pressed against the cold cabin door by He Yunting. He felt that the other party was about to lose control of his emotions and injected pheromones into the back of his neck not so gently.
He suddenly felt that the mecha cabin was different from all other places, such as his own apartment, He Yunting's bedroom, and the greenhouse.
Those places would be softer and safer, but that's not the case on the mecha. Everything around it is cold and hard: the console, the joystick, all kinds of complicated and lengthy calculation codes and data, the terrifying high-tech weapons. In short, none of them has anything to do with gentleness.
Including the person in front of me.
Everyone said that he was cold as ice and distant, without any "human touch".
All his little secrets are known only to himself.
Lin Han raised his head, leaned forward, and whispered, "Then let's kiss."
"Is it good?"
He Yunting didn't ask why, or perhaps he could sense Lin Han's emotions, so he just suppressed it obediently.
He kissed quietly, sucking the other's lower lip lightly, as if he wanted to take away all his uneasiness and anxiety, and then tell him that with him here, he didn't have to be afraid of anything.
The road ahead is full of dangers and the future is uncertain. The life and death of the empire is in their hands.
But they are still kissing here.
Lin Han felt like he was going crazy.
"It'll take half a day to arrive, right?" Lin Han felt her body go limp from his kiss, and even had the illusion that she was in estrus, so she asked He Yunting.
Seeing that he had no strength left, He Yunting was about to pick him up and put him sideways on the driver's seat, but Lin Han slowly supported his upper body, squatted down, looked up at him, and finally put his hands on his waist.
Realizing what he was about to do, He Yunting looked down at the young man lying between his legs and wanted to raise his hand to stop him: "Don't—"
But as soon as he blurted out one word, he couldn't say the rest.
…
The author has something to say: Woohoo, it’s not dark yet! It's still daytime!
I don't know whether to add the ellipsis or not, it depends on my mood
It's not the estrus period. Half a day is not enough for the estrus period.
I promise to post more this week, seriously! ! ! ! It’s really almost finished! ! !
