Chapter 115
The person who was pointed at by He Yunting with a gun slowly turned around.
Xu Zhiheng still had that unique scholarly air on his face, but there was something different in his expression than usual.
It was probably a feeling of excitement that was being suppressed but still couldn't be suppressed.
"Where is Prince Wen Yu, and where are the others?" He Yunting lowered his gaze and saw Xu Zhiheng wearing a cloak that did not belong to him, with a casual posture.
"Everything is fine, General," Xu Zhiheng even smiled slightly, "wasn't I just communicating with you?"
"So you were the one who disrupted the communication." He Yunting's tone was even, he was just stating a fact, "Just like the first time on Proton Star."
The first time we were on Proton, we were unable to land and there was a long period of communication disruption. It was not until we reached the central city and contacted the government building that communications were restored.
But the communication with Proton Star was cut off because it was blocked by the unique frequency of the Zerg. How could Xu Zhiheng...
"Many years ago, I had the opportunity to explore a galaxy next to the Worm Star. At that time, I learned something very interesting."
Xu Zhiheng said with a smile.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, at least to let me experience the thrill of being a prince." He seemed to be sure that He Yunting would not shoot so easily, and gently flicked the cold muzzle with his finger, "It's a pity that you didn't recognize the wrong person."
-
Xu Zhiheng is indeed a scholar who has reached the top of the empire in this field. It is precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to travel with the team on an investigation many years ago, or in other words, the beginning of all the changes.
"I was still young and focused on science. I thought nothing was more important than science," Xu Zhiheng said slowly. "I didn't mean to hide my gender at that time."
"But I later discovered that being an omega does make things easier in some ways."
Although there is still prejudice against omegas in the current environment, most people think that omegas are inherently weak, and if they show weakness from time to time, many problems can be easier to solve.
That's when he landed on that distant planet.
When Xu Zhiheng recalled this, his eyes were confused for a moment, but it was quickly covered by another crazy emotion.
It was the period when the mother insect was hatching her larvae. Xu Zhiheng accidentally picked up the young insect eggs that the mother insect had accidentally dropped. His natural curiosity and exploration made him suppress his fear and he wanted to take the eggs back to see if they could contribute to his research.
He cut open the eggs, but because he couldn't accurately grasp the frequency of Zerg communication, he ended up doing something that was impossible to undo.
He separated and reshaped the eggs, made them into serum and injected them into his body. He thought that he would be able to find commonalities between the Zerg and humans.
He has indeed obtained a certain frequency that is imperceptible to humans, and possesses the top level of human wisdom. From this perspective, he is successful.
But the change came so slowly and so subtle that even he couldn't notice it.
But in a place where no one could see, he began to become irritable, wanting to destroy and ruin. If there was something he wanted, he had to get it immediately, otherwise the piercing anger would consume him within one night.
On the surface, everyone thought he was still the gentle scholar, except for a female student who had followed him for a long time who accidentally touched his hand after a lecture one day.
The student was terrified, and after a long time he asked cautiously, "Professor, has something happened to you recently?"
Xu Zhiheng didn't know why a simple contact could scare the girl so much. He smiled warmly and said no, don't worry.
——After all, that was the female student he had liked for a long time.
Subsequent developments began to gradually deviate from his thoughts and ideas. The calmer he was in front of others, the crazier he became behind their backs.
Xu Zhiheng came back to his senses from his brief memory, looked at the still cold He Yunting, and said.
"But Admiral, I know you are different from those foolish people."
"The jump point is fine. I just want to negotiate some terms with you."
He Yunting frowned impatiently, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly noticed something and did a backflip to avoid the hard leg that suddenly stabbed at him.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the ceiling, and the only magnificent chandelier in the entire palace shattered and fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.
"The child is not very obedient, please forgive me, General." Xu Zhiheng waved at the insect that suddenly attacked He Yunting. It was an immature steel beetle, which quickly calmed down after sensing the frequency emitted by Xu Zhiheng.
Being able to control the frequencies between Zergs, there was a reason why Proton Star was causing communication interference at that time.
"General, please don't misunderstand me. I really didn't want to be exposed so soon." Xu Zhiheng touched the steel beetle lying at his feet. "Look at these children. They haven't grown up yet. It's the mother beetle's fault. It was she who insisted on attacking..."
When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of cruelty in his tone.
"But it doesn't matter, we can still cooperate." Xu Zhiheng said confidently, "The general is a rare talent, and he has the largest number of troops in the entire empire, not to mention..."
"You spoke for me publicly in front of His Majesty, didn't you? I also helped you. We should be on the same path."
"So," Xu Zhiheng smiled at He Yunting in a friendly manner, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, we should really shake hands and greet each other——"
He wanted to touch He Yunting's hand just like he had many times before - when he came back from the border area, when Proton Star asked him for help, and when he knew that Wen Zhao summoned him and wanted to express his gratitude to He Yunting.
He Yunting, as usual, avoided him coldly and didn't let him touch him at all.
"Why, Professor Xu wants to hear what I'm thinking, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace shook violently, and the roar of the mecha engines and the roar of the Zerg exploded at this moment -
-
At the same time as the gunshots were heard, Lin Han controlled the mecha and fired the weapon mercilessly. The blazing flames spread over the two drooling new species of Zerg that rushed out of the hall. Not only that, the "soldiers" guarding outside the door also suddenly reacted -
Except for the deep scars behind their glands, they looked no different from normal humans. However, after sensing the Zerg's unusual movements, they quickly pounced on the mechas that were glowing with cold light!
Unlike the "failed" Betas on Proton Star, their reaction and jumping abilities are extraordinary. They can even predict the direction of the lightsaber and dodge it accurately at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye. The adhesion of their palms has also become strange. After jumping away from the attack, they actually climbed to the top of M2742.
It is a successfully bred, blood-burning omega with Zerg bloodline.
The mecha shells seemed to be nothing in their eyes. Some omegas' hands began to mutate, turning into extremely hard legs similar to those of the Zerg. They tried to chisel open the fuselage one by one. If they did not take action, the strongest steel would really be cracked.
He Yunting is still inside, and the whereabouts of Wen Yu and Lu Huai's teams are unknown. We must not rashly use firepower with higher energy levels to avoid causing innocent casualties.
He closed his eyes and avoided looking at these omegas who looked almost the same as humans.
Through the window outside the mecha, you can see that although these omegas look thin at first glance, they can withstand the high-intensity energy rays emitted by the mecha.
Lin Han continued to click on the operating console and drove the mecha to rush into the palace. The size of m2742 was large enough. Every step was accompanied by the sound of the palace wall or steel bars breaking and cracking. With a burning flame, he gritted his teeth, and the whole body of the mecha shook violently. The ground began to tremble. m2742 turned on its own defense mode, emitting a dazzling red light, and threw the omegas who were clinging to the fuselage and were about to chisel through the steel to the ground. Some omegas were unable to dodge and even had their arms cut off by infrared weapons, and blood spurted out instantly!
The blood of these omegas was reflected in Lin Han's eyes, but he still did not hesitate and continued to deal with them with close combat weapons.
But what he didn't expect was that some omegas with broken limbs could actually stand up crookedly, and those broken limbs began to grow again at an incredible speed visible to the naked eye, growing non-human limbs that were no different from before, or even sharper and tougher than before - the speed was faster than that of ordinary Zerg.
Therefore, if you want to destroy them, you still have to...
Lin Han curled the corners of his mouth to himself, turned his head and said gently to the little dumpling who was peeking out, "Don't look out the porthole."
After waiting for Gululu to obediently bury his head in his neck, the smile on Lin Han's face quickly disappeared, and the gentleness in his eyes also faded - he gripped the joystick almost fiercely, fearing that the positioning was not accurate enough, and concentrated his mind and added mental strength. The originally hunched mecha suddenly stood up straight, and the next second a violent gust of wind passed by, and its fist came through the wind without hesitation, and attacked those omegas who had just grown limbs!
Tons of weight and absolutely pure mental power were all thrown at these aliens. Finally, no matter how well they evolved or how perfectly their genes were integrated, the Burning Blood Omega could not withstand such energy. They were hit in the brain by the mecha's movements, and then exploded and torn apart...
m2742 transformed into a melee mecha warrior, eliminating the blood-burning insects or larvae that came one after another, and then walked into the main hall step by step on the cracked ground.
Behind it was a row of disgusting body parts and corpses, and it was impossible to tell whether they were humans or Zerg. The faces of the omegas could no longer be seen, and only the alternating red and white colors on the ground remained - because only in this way could these successfully mutated Burning Bloods be completely eliminated.
Hearing the noise coming from far away, Xu Zhiheng narrowed his eyes, surprised that there was someone else besides He Yunting who could drive the M2742: "So the admiral actually allowed another person to ride on your mecha."
"Is it the omega from last time? He's amazing."
"I've always been surprised. We collected so much information about high-quality omegas back then. From all aspects, he should have been one of the best choices. It's a pity that he was missed." Xu Zhiheng said, "Otherwise, Admiral, the one standing in front of you attacking and biting you now might be your baby."
There was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was appreciating a stunning work of art: "If he is nurtured well, he will definitely be the best blood-burning one."
He Yunting's face was gloomy, and he didn't want to answer his question. He nimbly dodged several larvae that pounced on him again, turned around and decisively fired three shots. However, when he turned sideways, the position was too narrow, and his right arm still brushed against the sharp legs of the larvae, leaving a long bloody mark.
He casually flicked his hand as if he wasn't aware of it, and instantly a row of blood spots splashed on the white wall.
Xu Zhiheng waved his hands, transmitting something to the larvae at a frequency that humans could not perceive. Soon the insects calmed down, stopped attacking others, and crawled quietly at his feet.
He smiled at He Yunting and said, "The children are still young and a little impulsive. Don't mind it."
"Kids? You call these monsters kids?" He Yunting sneered, "When you were on Proton Star, I think you called that alien holding the cake that too."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiheng's expression remained unchanged: "That is indeed a very clean child, whether it is a human or a larva."
Blood soaked He Yunting's arm and dripped from his fingertips onto the ground, forming a dark red puddle. The dark green military uniform also turned a darker color because of the blood.
He Yunting looked at the larvae he had shot down and raised his head mockingly: "Does Professor Xu still remember Ji Meng? I wonder what he means to you."
This time, Xu Zhiheng's expression finally froze for a long time.
"He used to be... a good kid. The most obedient and sensible kind."
"It's a pity that I don't know when I turned into a bad boy who tells lies."
Xu Zhiheng raised his head again, with a hint of cruelty on his face: "What's the point of coming here, you disobedient child?"
"Bang!" With a loud noise accompanied by a lot of dust, m2742 completely destroyed the magnificent gate. The blood-stained metal stretched out its right arm in the direction of the confrontation between the two people, and slowly spread out its palm towards He Yunting.
"Hello, Professor Xu." Lin Han's clear voice sounded. He took off his helmet and stood on the tall elevator. "So Professor Xu thinks that Proton Star is a failed 'child'?" "Xi Yuan is so pitiful. In order to follow you, he risked his life to go to Proton Star alone to inquire about the situation. Not only did he fail to come back, but he also died in front of you, and you didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache for him."
"Of course, Mr. Luo Qi is also quite pitiful." Lin Han thought for a moment and said, "After all, at the beginning, we also thought that Xi Yuan was a radical. Professor Xu is smart and doesn't put the blame on the same person."
"Luo Qi kept biting me back then, and now he has to be so high-profile. I just happen to have a friend who advocates peace and is against him, so who else should I go to if not him?" Xu Zhiheng didn't care. "As for Xi Yuan... I just asked him to tell me about the situation in the central city."
When Xu Zhiheng talked about the proton star, his expression lacked some confidence, as if it was a failure in his experiment: "I really wanted to improve it the first time, but I didn't expect beta to be useless."
"But..." He paused, "Forget it. There's nothing much to say. After all, there's not a single one left, including Central City. This just brings my plan forward a few steps, that's all."
"Central City?" When Lin Han heard these three words, he blinked slyly and laughed, "Professor Xu, you don't think that there is really not a single proton star left as you think, right?" A trace of stiffness finally appeared on his originally calm face, and the curve of Xu Zhiheng's mouth froze. This was something he had never imagined.
Lin Han seemed impatient to give him too much time to think, and simply gave the answer directly: "If it's just to clean up a small planet that has no ability to resist, why should we make a big fuss?"
Make a big fuss? He grasped the word sharply.
The color on Xu Zhiheng's face began to fade. He had checked those cities before and found that there were indeed no survivors. The corpses of the failed products were scattered throughout the cities and the air was filled with the smell of blood. And Central City... was the only city he hadn't seen in person.
At that time, the starship was parked in the central city, and m2742 was responsible for cleaning and aftermath, which means that only the two people in front knew what had happened. Later, the fleet reported the situation again, and no one saw a single body, so they just thought it had been completely cleaned up.
Xu Zhiheng suddenly understood, and stared up at He Yunting: "You... all the people in the central city..."
"They are all alive." Lin Han clapped his hands with a smile and stated this fact for him. "Why do you think we sent out the starship at that time?"
