Chapter 71
Lin Han only learned the news in the afternoon.
He only had a general idea of what happened before He Yunting left the night before. In addition, he had to go back to the research institute and go to bed early. After dealing with things all morning, he finally had some free time and learned about this from other people.
We just realized something was wrong last night, and today we heard that the proton star was out of control. To say it was a coincidence is not credible.
Moreover, it was a direct order, not passed by Wen Tianyao or the parliament. It had reached the point where He Yunting needed to be dispatched. It must be a distress message directly sent by the government of Proton Star. In order to show its importance to its own planet, the Empire would definitely agree to this request.
Because it was an emergency, all the news were reporting on it urgently, and everyone in the institute was naturally discussing it.
But after all, the fire didn't burn them, so there was a different meaning in everyone's words.
It was a rare idle time in the day. Lin Han was walking towards the break room when he heard people in the assembly department discussing this matter.
After all, those who can enter the research institute are all people who have been screened and cultivated through layers, and they are in the core area. Even if someone does not mean it, there is an unconscious sense of class in their words.
"I went to Proton Star once a few years ago. It was not interesting. The transportation was inconvenient and many things were not available," said one of the men in uniform. "At that time, the barrier agents in the core area had reached the fifth generation, but you could only buy the initial version of the barrier agents at Proton Star."
One of them patted him on the shoulder and explained, "It's mostly beta over there, so it's normal that the barrier agent is not selling well."
"That's right," the person who had just walked over nodded and sighed, "The news this time said it was quite serious. They even asked the admiral to go there in person..."
"Is it really that serious? But they shouldn't need too many mechas. After all, they're not Zerg. Let me give you a conspiracy theory. Maybe Proton Star has received too little attention recently, and something happened just in time for it to make its presence known."
"Yes, and sending the admiral directly this time is a great honor. His strength is unquestionable. This is a smart move. It not only draws the attention of the entire planet M to him, but also solves the problem."
"Yes, I just think it's a bit of a waste of the Admiral's talent to send him there. He was the one who fought against five people alone after being ambushed, and finally managed to survive and come back from the border area."
Only half of the news about the battleship was released, so most people only knew how brave He Yunting was, and did not care that he had someone with him at the time and that the two had experienced many dangerous situations together.
When they saw Lin Han coming over to get the nutritional supplement, they stopped him and said, "By the way, Lin Han just came back from the base. How was it like following the training? Is the admiral a particularly scary person?"
Lin Han originally wanted to leave immediately, but after hesitating for a moment, he stopped.
He glanced at these two colleagues who were not very familiar with him.
The other party had a relaxed smile on his face, as if these things were just topics of conversation in their spare time. They only knew that the resources on Proton Star were not as good as those in the core area and that it was full of betas. They also only knew that He Yunting was cold and unkind, like a stone that could never be warmed up.
These people may not be bad in nature and they work hard, but they are restricted by their so-called identity, gender and core area, and become creatures who only care about themselves.
They are born with a sense of superiority and cannot understand why some alphas are willing to be trapped in places with scarce resources. The core area is much better, where they can always be at the forefront and never worry about being left behind.
Just like spoiled children, they don’t know that from the moment they are born, their fate has been classified into the smaller category of survivor bias.
Lin Han stopped and put his hand on the lid of the nutrient solution without unscrewing it.
Lin Han looked at them and wanted to say no, He Yunting was not cold at all, on the contrary, he was incredibly gentle.
Each of his hugs was warm, each of his kisses was cherished, and even the markings between living things were wrapped rationally to be gentlemanly and careful.
But when the two saw that he didn't say anything, one of them seemed to be very considerate and sympathetic and said to him, "Well, I can guess the general idea based on your silence right now."
"As expected, it would be better for us to let the Admiral be a hero that we can only watch from afar."
"I heard that working at the base is pretty easy. Although I admire the admiral, I would probably be freezing to death if I were to work with him." Another colleague chimed in, "That's what everyone who went there for training last year said."
Perhaps it’s because Lin Han is an omega, despite good intentions, his colleagues always unconsciously take care of him and are extra tolerant of him - even if he himself doesn’t actually need it.
"Thank you for your hard work. I guess you can't get used to it at the base. You'll be fine when you get back." The first colleague saw that he had been holding the nutrient solution in his hand for a long time, so he extended his hand in a friendly manner and asked, "Do you want me to help you unscrew it?"
Lin Han subconsciously dodged to prevent the other party from touching him: "No, thank you."
The two didn't care and continued discussing the previous topic.
When they talked about "I wonder how many days it will take He Yunting to return from his trip to Proton Planet", Lin Han couldn't help but ask, "When did the news say he was leaving?"
My colleague didn't realize who this "he" was referring to. After all, officers of this rank were not usually addressed by name in the Empire. "Who?"
"General." Lin Han added.
"Oh, didn't the news just now say that they would set off immediately..." One of the colleagues said halfway, watching Lin Han take off his protective suit and the dust goggles used for mecha operations while walking, "What's wrong?"
After all, Lin Han is a well-known workaholic in the research institute. Sometimes he gets so obsessed with his work that it is common for him to spend the night in the office or in the mecha under development.
"Please ask your boss for leave for me, and have it counted towards my annual leave." Lin Han said as he walked. It was the first time he got off work before the appointed time. "Something happened suddenly, so I have to go back."
-
Lin Han packed up as quickly as possible, without even changing his uniform, and was about to walk out of the office.
But just as he was about to lock the door and leave, the impulse he had felt before slowly subsided, and he felt a little confused, which was rare for him.
Has He Yunting left? Where is he now?
Where should I go to find him and will it affect him?
Lin Han felt at a loss at this moment, and didn't even know whether he should be so willful as to call He Yunting. After all, after returning from the base, their work gradually had no intersection.
But before he walked out of the institute, he heard a commotion at the door.
"Teacher Lin, is Teacher Lin here?" The intern in charge of delivering the message called his name. Seeing Lin Han walking towards the door, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Teacher Lin, there is a man in military uniform at the gate. He said he has something to ask you."
Lin Han's heart skipped a beat and he quickly trotted to the door.
The intern said there was a person in military uniform, but he couldn't remember his name, so it shouldn't be He Yunting or Lu Anhe.
But Lin Han didn't have time to think about these things and just walked out.
At first he didn't see He Yunting's aircraft and felt a little disappointed. Then he saw Qi Jiamu standing beside him and saluted him.
"Mr. Lin." He said to Lin Han, pointing to the mecha he drove over, "The admiral will wait for you inside."
So all the uneasiness from a few minutes ago disappeared at this moment. Lin Han nodded to Qi Jiamu and walked over.
-
He Yunting was dressed very formally, exactly the same as when he took the warship to the border area.
He lowered his head, his military cap covering his eyes and eyebrows. Only the lights in the mecha cabin were on to maintain the basic functions of the system. Just like in the news, he was cold and indifferent, keeping people at a distance.
But things became different after hearing the noise coming from the cabin door.
Lin Han was walking in a hurry just now and didn't control her breathing. When she looked into his eyes, she felt a little nervous for no reason. "...You're here."
"Lu Anhe was too busy to contact you because he had to leave soon and couldn't use his aircraft, so he borrowed his mecha to come and see you." He Yunting's tone was very calm, "You should know everything."
"I heard about it from my colleagues, but I haven't..."
Lin Han was about to say something, but before he knew much, he saw He Yunting extending his hand towards him.
"Come."
He only said one word, but Lin Han understood what he meant in an instant.
Come, let me tell you.
You can hear it.
Lin Han put his hand on it and quickly learned what had happened from the previous day to now, as well as the causes and consequences.
It wasn't that the V-shaped proton star had been governing itself for too long and needed to attract the empire's attention. There really was a serious incident, and it was all related to the report from the night before.
And Xi Yuan's name was also transmitted to Lin Han's ears through He Yunting's hand.
After a brief silence, He Yunting continued speaking.
"Qi Jiamu will stay here." He Yunting told him everything one by one. Even though he knew that Lin Han could read his own mind, he still told him one by one.
"I'll let him keep in touch with you and ensure your safety." His fingertips stroked Lin Han's palm, "No matter what, safety comes first."
"Don't contact Xi Yuan alone under any circumstances—" He Yunting's voice became serious, "Even if Qi Jiamu is here, you can't do that, understand."
Lin Han felt He Yunting's worry and nervousness, and these emotions were revealed so directly in front of him for the first time.
The other party was obviously a person who was reluctant to say a few words, but at this moment he was seizing the last bit of time to talk about every detail.
"The communication system of Proton Star is quite complete. If there is anything, you can communicate with me. I will reply when I see it. If I don't reply, then wait for me to reply."
"Got it?"
The heart-wrenching feeling in Lin Han's heart rose up again little by little. He blinked his eyes, trying to get rid of some emotions.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and felt that his smile must not look good at all.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Han reached out and poked his nose, saying, "He Yunting, you are so long-winded."
The other party seemed not to have expected him to say that, and was stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss.
[Are you angry?] 】
Lin Han felt his eyes a little sore, so he simply leaned into his arms and said, "When have I ever been angry with you?"
"Yes," He Yunting still told the truth with principle even now, "When I came to the repair room, you didn't want me to get close to you."
Lin Han found it funny and tearful: "What are you doing?"
"You knew I was in heat at the time."
Lin Han didn't continue the topic, and quickly leaned forward to kiss him, stopping after a brief taste: "But I remembered everything you just said."
"I will listen to them."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
