Chapter 50
He Yunting let him lead the way without stopping him.
This fact did not surprise Lin Han for too long, but when he finally let go of He Yunting's hand, the smile on his face seemed a little forced.
He Yunting, who was always slow in emotions, could always catch some different emotions at such times. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I will be back soon."
Lin Han looked up at him and felt his eyes sore. It was not because he did not believe He Yunting's words. On the contrary, because he understood the weight of He Yunting's promise, he felt that the sadness was vast and boundless, and that he and he were completely insignificant in this world.
But he was still willing to protect himself, saying "don't worry" and "believe me".
The warmth of the other person's fingertips still lingered in He Yunting's palm. Seeing that he was still in a daze, He Yunting easily recalled the quiet hug that Lin Han gave him when Ji Meng was in trouble.
Maybe it was because the kiss he had secretly kissed the night before was not discovered that made him feel a little lucky, or maybe it was Lin Han's eyes that softened his heart.
He Yunting couldn't tell which thought was at work, but after a moment he reached out his hand and embraced the person in front of him.
He didn't know whether Mr. Lin would mind - if he minded, he could just push him away. At least now he couldn't control himself from doing so.
Except for the time when he was in the susceptible period, he was not sober, and he did not have the desire and longing like when he marked him. This time, He Yunting took the initiative to choose to hug him.
It was different from the hug from Lin Han that time. At that time, he coaxed He Yunting to lean over and then pulled him to get such a hug.
This time, He Yunting easily pressed Lin Han into his arms, but he did not dare to use force. He only hugged him lightly.
For the first time, he realized that whether Lin Han was an ordinary omega or the empire's best mecha designer, it seemed to make no difference at this moment. It turned out that the opponent was so fragile that it seemed that he could be crushed here with just a little effort.
He Yunting actually doesn’t care that much about his second gender. Pheromones and mental power are just to allow him to better devote himself to the empire. As for omegas, he had actually seen quite a few, but he just had no idea what they were.
He knew that people of this gender were always delicate and unable to do many jobs. Even many years ago when omegas had not yet achieved equal rights, they were just tools. Their bodies and pheromones tempted people to commit crimes, but they could not control their own lives. They are glass products for people to admire, canaries kept by dignitaries, and a category that can hardly survive on their own.
He Yunting has been in the army for too long, and some things that ordinary people care about have become dispensable to him, such as omega.
He once thought that his whole life would be dedicated to the galaxy and loneliness was his destiny.
As for the Galaxy Exhibition Hall that Lu Anhe had mentioned once, He Yunting knew this place, but he didn't have any specific impression of it.
But for a moment, he couldn't remember something that was so rare and precious to him that he needed to keep it for a lifetime.
But now he had one hand on the back of Lin Han's head and the other hand carefully holding him. The other's body was light and soft, thin and frail.
He is an omega, but more than an omega.
From the first time we met, he was different from everyone else. The desire and heartache I felt for him until now might not be just simple biological attraction.
But He Yunting couldn't figure this out right now, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully.
At one moment he wanted to hold the other person like this forever, but the next moment he clearly realized that he still had things to do and they couldn't stop here.
All of Lin Han's looks seemed to be filled with expectation for him, and He Yunting couldn't help but respond to such looks.
He tentatively hugged the person in his arms a little tighter.
He Yunting's voice remained calm, as if even his heartbeat was not beating at all.
"Wait for me." The young man's hair felt very soft, and He Yunting couldn't help but hug him for a while before saying.
-
Lin Han looked at the man's back as he walked away.
The sky was dark, and he walked in the desolate and broken yellow sand, as if blending into the background.
But He Yunting walked steadily and firmly, without even looking back, and just went straight to where he should go.
Lin Han suddenly wasn't worried at all. Most of the pessimistic emotions he had just felt were taken away by He Yunting and dispersed into the boundless sky at this moment.
He used to think that promises were illusory and that words that could not be fulfilled immediately were no different from a blank check.
But now he just feels relieved, and he also understands that promises vary from person to person.
And what He Yunting said was different from what others said.
That is his unique comfort and silent tenderness.
However, without He Yunting's invisible oppression in the air, a certain small creature finally began to get excited.
Without that stern-faced and fierce human being, Gululu began to expand its range of activities from Lin Han to the entire first cockpit.
Although some strange creatures cannot speak, they can sense human thoughts and emotions. For example, Gululu rolled wildly for a while before jumping back onto Lin Han's shoulder in satisfaction.
Lin Han leaned on the driver's seat and casually touched its head: "Are you happy?"
Gululu didn't answer, but just obediently followed Lin Han's actions, pressing his face against his palm lines, rubbing it comfortably, and even making a very soft squeak.
He didn't know that the biggest reason why Gululu became happy was not because He Yunting left, but because it observed that its mood had improved.
Although the little guy lives in such an environment all day long, he still loves cleanliness very much. Every time he gets close to humans, he will tidy himself up before coming close.
Lin Han always felt that he should do something instead of just sitting here waiting for He Yunting to come back.
Is the mecha energy enough? Where can I add more?
What is the current situation of the battleship? If calculated according to the jump time, they should have returned to the Empire by now.
Lin Han propped himself up and finally chose to start the mecha with low energy consumption - if the method with lower energy consumption was successfully tested, then they could hold on for a few more days.
Gululu's whole body trembled, probably because he didn't expect that the big iron box he had been staying in for the past two days would actually move.
He told He Yunting that the communication was only opened once a day, and it seemed that He Yunting had already opened it today.
And at the moment the mecha is started, all switches will flash, including the communicator.
Lin Han's eyes flashed, and he discovered that it was lit.
The blood in his body began to rush to his head, and Lin Han answered the call without even thinking -
"Boss!" It seemed that the other party didn't expect to finally get a response. Lu Anhe was surprised and happy, "How are you now!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, it's me." Lin Han said, "The general will be back soon."
"We're fine. Are you guys back?"
Lu Anhe seemed to be dealing with something, his voice was very anxious, and he didn't have time to talk too much with Lin Han: "I went back. But the situation is not very optimistic."
"Time is tight right now so I can't tell you too much detail. I can only say that the two factions in the parliament have almost torn their faces apart. There are two situations now."
"As long as the general comes back safely, some people will be silenced. But the key is..." Lu Anhe took a breath, "Some people don't want him to come back."
Lin Han's heart sank. It turned out that part of his previous anxiety had come true.
"The battleship has suffered heavy damage, and Lao Ye's and my mechas are also damaged. We can't carry enough energy for the jump. What's more..." Lu Anhe didn't say anything after that. Lin Han could probably guess that it might not be convenient for them to come in person.
"The reinforcements from the third base have already set out, but we are not sure...whether they will be intercepted and prevented from coming."
"The rest of the information I have is ambiguous, but, but you don't stay where you are! I can't guarantee that Luo Qi's men will be slower than the reinforcements. If the reinforcements don't arrive and they catch up first... Anyway, don't stay there! We will deal with things here as soon as possible!"
"Okay." Lin Han calmed down after a brief shock and replied.
"By the way, Mr. Lin." Lu Anhe suddenly hesitated for a long time, which was very inconsistent with his character: "If..."
He paused, as if he was very conflicted, but in the end he still didn't say what he was thinking about "if". He just changed the subject before hanging up the phone: "Give my regards to the general."
"Leave the chores here to me, and you will be safe."
Since Lu Anhe still didn't want to talk, Lin Han didn't want to ask any more questions. He just said "thank you" and cut off the call.
He didn't know what the situation was like with Lu An and the other side.
But for now, it is not optimistic.
Lin Han thought of the other party's words "Don't stay where you are", and felt uneasy.
If the people who tried to intercept the rescue did not use the battleship to jump, but directly used the mecha to jump, it would take four or five days to get here anyway. If it was a battleship, if it had already set off, it would only take one day to find them.
But judging from the estimated time, if the mecha needs to be moved, after consuming energy, the m2742 may not be able to last even a day without the support of new energy, and finally become an empty shell of iron.
This problem may not sound very scary, but if the mecha loses even the lowest energy consumption and the temperature regulating valve, even if there is a layer of iron sheet between them, the ever-changing temperature in the border area will be unbearable.
Lin Han's heart sank little by little.
Gululu didn't know why the human in front of him was so happy for a while and then suddenly became unhappy again. He rolled into the other's arms carefully, stretched out his little paws, gently scratched Lin Han's front, and then tentatively scratched him with his tail.
The slightly itchy warm touch brought Lin Han back to his senses. He glanced at Gululu who was trying hard to amuse him and pursed his lips: "I'm fine."
He didn't know when He Yunting would come back. Should he wait for him where he was, or at least move the mecha to a safer location?
If I change positions and go back on my word, what will I do if He Yunting can't find me when he comes back?
But if he doesn't change, he has no ability to protect himself at all. If the rebels really catch up with him, not only will he not be able to escape unscathed, but he might be used as bait, and neither of them will be able to escape.
Lin Han was caught in a dilemma. Even though he was still staying where he was, he couldn't help but feel tormented.
He stared at the clock in the cabin, and every five minutes, Lin Han would look out the porthole.
Gululu, who noticed the other person's mood, was confused for a moment, then tried harder to make him happy, and even stretched out his small and wet tongue to lick Lin Han's palm.
Lin Han was tortured by this mentality for a whole half day, but still did not wait for He Yunting.
He returned to the cockpit.
He can't wait any longer.
He should not sit and wait for death, nor should he abandon He Yunting.
Lin Han took the helmet beside him almost tremblingly, and forced himself to calm down completely.
He wanted to leave the place and find He Yunting in person.
He remembered the direction He Yunting left. He was walking and could not have walked too far. If he followed this road, he should be able to find it.
But the mecha's energy...
Lin Han closed his eyes and finally chose to start.
Lin Han entered the password, and the long-lost mechanical female voice sounded again.
"M2742, the first cockpit is activated, the mental power center has been opened, please confirm the connection."
"Confirm connection."
He had never driven a mecha alone, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much. He had to do it and could not fail.
As for energy——
If you want to minimize the energy consumption of the mecha... then you can only consume a large amount of the pilot's mental energy.
Lin Han struggled hard, stretched out his mecha arm, made a simple movement, and his front and rear legs began to move, and he started to move forward step by step.
Every step you take raises a cloud of sand.
Gululu seemed to be frightened and even a little mecha-sick. It stuck out its tongue and started spinning around looking for its tail. Finally, it fell into Lin Han's arms because it was so dizzy and calmed down.
Lin Han's heart was about to jump out, but he still tried hard to use his mental power to drive the mecha forward. He didn't dare to drive too fast, for fear of missing the opponent if he was not careful.
Gululu bit Lin Han's sleeve and didn't recover from the dizziness for a long time. He just squeaked and moved closer.
Lin Han didn't have time to comfort it now, so he could only slow down a little.
He tried to exhale, suppress the panic and hesitation in his heart, and was about to move forward -
He suddenly saw the person he was looking for.
But this scene did not make Lin Han happy.
The sky had already brightened, but the light in the border area was still terrifyingly harsh.
Because opposite He Yunting was a group of terrifying and ferocious creatures.
Although they do not have the huge size of the Zerg, nor their agile limbs and innate brutal and bloodthirsty instincts, Lin Han does not know what they are called - they should also be a kind of strange creatures.
Gululu saw the group of things through the display screen and screamed in fright. The mecha didn't dare to faint. The whole ball was shaking with energy. Then it quickly jumped to the back of Lin Han's neck and buried itself hard in his collar.
He Yunting seemed to have been resisting for a while. Sweat seeped through his clothes and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was still smoking. However, due to extreme exhaustion, he still bent his knees slightly, supported himself on the ground with his other hand, and tried to calm his breathing.
At this moment he looked up and saw his own mecha, and looked over with burning eyes, as if he could see through the thick layer of metal and see the equally weak omega in the driver's seat.
These things were covered with pus-oozing wounds, festering skin like craters, and nauseatingly red. They screamed, stretched out their long tongues, and rushed towards He Yunting.
He Yunting retracted his gaze, but still dodged nimbly, and fired two more shots while turning sideways with his right hand, accurately hitting one of the beasts in the eye!
Its companions began to get angry. Although they were clumsy, they had the upper hand due to their large numbers. He Yunting saw that he could not avoid all the attacks at once, so he did a backflip and jumped over one of the strange creatures and landed steadily.
Lin Han was not idle either. He took advantage of this time to open the ammunition depot and loaded it with tail-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot projectiles. The YT-1 type bomb specially designed for mechas rose up. Lin Han's hands were shaking - this was his first time using weapons while sitting in the first cockpit.
He knew how to aim, but he just couldn't concentrate. In his eyes, he could always see He Yunting dodging, afraid that he would accidentally hurt the other party if he wasn't careful.
And at this moment, he saw He Yunting suddenly pause.
The next second, his gaze came again.
He seemed to know what Lin Han was going to do. His lips didn't even move, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Give it a try - believe in you and believe in me.
When Lin Han saw the group of disgusting creatures drooling at their mouths attacking He Yunting again, he made up his mind, concentrated all his attention, and pressed the electromagnetic accelerator.
"Boom--" The first armor-piercing bullet rushed towards them with thick smoke. Two creatures that were too close were pierced instantly. Blood and flesh burst out, covering their disgusting and smelly skin.
Lin Han didn't have a chance to catch his breath. His eyes turned red and he continued to shoot with gritted teeth. The bullets really didn't miss. Even though one of them almost grazed He Yunting's shoulder, it didn't hurt him in the end.
After one loud bang after another, the creatures were shot through one by one, and their blood and limbs were all over the ground, flowing all the way to He Yunting's feet.
Cleaned up... cleaned up.
Lin Han's knuckles became sore. Looking at the scene on the screen, he realized that he had actually done it.
He Yunting was covered in dust, looking less handsome, but he still managed to stand up, his back as straight as before.
For the first time, Lin Han felt an urge to greet the other person even though they were not far apart. Even though he knew he had been very weak these days, he still couldn't help but open the cabin door, staggered onto the elevator, and was eager to see him.
"He Yunting," Lin Han didn't call him by his title for the first time, but called him by his name. As soon as the elevator landed, he ran towards him on his knees, "He Yunting..."
He Yunting, He Yunting.
If I finally chose to wait for you here, if I came a little later, would you really have an accident?
Lin Han gritted his teeth and ran forward, a sweet and fishy taste rising in his throat. He knew that his current posture must be very ugly, but he still couldn't help running towards him.
He Yunting saw Lin Han and looked at him from a distance of dozens of meters. At this moment, Lin Han could not see his expression clearly, nor could he hear what he said. He just moved towards him tremblingly and desperately.
But finally, Lin Han's knees went weak, and the scenery in front of him quickly became blurred. His body trembled, and in the end, without even having time to utter a painful whimper, he fell down and fainted in the yellow sand.
