Chapter 73
The urgently dispatched team left the berth half an hour later.
Qi Jiamu had to go back to the base for something, so Lin Han let him go first, saying that he would take the public aircraft back slowly.
The other party seemed a little hesitant, fearing that something might happen to Lin Han, but in the end he left first under Lin Han's persuasion, and told Lin Han to keep in touch.
After all, ordinary people cannot get close to the berth, and the sounds of mecha landing and evacuation can be heard there all year round, but they are far away and not too noisy, and nearby residents are accustomed to it.
Therefore, Lin Han could not tell which group was ordinary mechas and which group was He Yunting’s army.
It seemed that Lin Han had indeed come to help Gululu buy things. He visited several stores carefully, picked out a lot of things according to different categories, and ordered a small felt shelf, which he planned to ship back for the little one to play with.
When he approached a pet supplies store, the owner was leaning back with his legs crossed, watching TV leisurely. When he saw a customer coming, he quickly sat up straight, greeted Lin Han with a smile and asked what he needed.
Lin Han casually mentioned his needs, and the other party enthusiastically introduced him several different kinds of snacks and staple foods, and couldn't help glancing at him while talking.
He had gotten on the mecha directly after coming out of the research institute, and he hadn't changed his uniform yet. Even if the people in Area L couldn't recognize that it was the uniform from the research institute, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was from the core area.
In addition, Lin Han was very eye-catching in appearance, and his temperament seemed to be naturally much better than those of them. His every move was polite and gentle, just like the celebrities and dignitaries he saw on TV. The shop owner rarely saw people coming from there, and asked with half envy and half curiosity: "Shops can support virtual orders, why did you have to make a special trip, sir?"
Lin Han smiled faintly and said, "I just happened to come here for something, so I bought some for my little one at home."
When the other party learned that the one in his house was a Kugel - after all, only a few people raise strange creatures, and his eyes were filled with envy: "Then you can take a look at these snacks in the store, which are both edible and playful. Your family will definitely like them."
Lin Han was just about to choose one by one according to his introduction, when he suddenly felt a slight tremor coming from the ground, and then it quickly returned to calm.
The shop owner quickly explained enthusiastically: "This is next to the berth, and there are often mechas docking or landing here. This is normal. Don't be nervous, sir."
"Yeah." Lin Han responded politely and nodded. He looked relaxed, but his originally casual movements became a little stiff, and his hand unconsciously grabbed the snacks that the other party recommended for Gululu.
The other party did not notice this action and was still introducing the product to Lin Han. Suddenly, a young man in a white uniform suddenly asked, "How long does it take to get to V Proton Star from here?"
"Are you talking about the V-shaped proton star that just had an accident?" The shop owner understood. "In fact, we don't know the exact duration. The port has a large number of dockings and departures every day. Even if we have been here since we were born, we have never seen it up close. We have only heard that... it takes about a day."
"The Proton Star is relatively close. After all, if it weren't so, we wouldn't be able to rely on the Empire in the end."
Soon there was another small tremor. The boss smiled at Lin Han as usual and said, "These are too far from our lives. We can't control them. Maybe this wave is heading for the Proton Star, don't you think?"
Lin Han's palms began to sweat unconsciously. He clenched the things in his hands and tried to say calmly: "...Yeah."
Perhaps he has sailed now.
In a roar that I couldn't distinguish.
-
It was not until the noises stopped coming from the berth that Lin Han walked out of the store carrying the things that his boss had packed for him.
He stood there in a daze. It was still early and he had just come out of the research institute not long ago.
There was no point in walking around any further, so Lin Han found a public aircraft parking spot that wasn't too far away and decided to walk there.
However, after walking for a while, maybe because he was walking too fast or the things in his hands were a little heavy, Lin Han felt a little tired, so he found a place to support his knees and rest for a while.
Remembering the reason, he felt in his pocket and took out the thing he hated the most.
It was the nutrient supplement that I had originally wanted to open at the research institute.
His colleagues were talking about He Yunting at the time, but they still wanted to help him open it, but Lin Han dodged them.
He Yunting would take the initiative to unscrew the bottle for him several times and then pass it to him. Even when he wanted to cheat and didn't want to drink it, he would use methods that he couldn't imagine.
Lin Han looked down at the thing in his hand, unscrewed it with a little force, then drank it bit by bit without frowning. He then threw away the packaging in silence and went home alone on the aircraft.
I still have work to do when I get back. The little guy has been obsessed with watching TV recently, so I need to get him to control himself a little.
A new batch of programs will be tested tomorrow, and the models that have not been successfully developed will continue to be studied and researched.
He can actually do everything. Apart from his weaker physique, he is no different from others.
Whether He Yunting is there or not, he can do a good job on his own.
This is what Lin Han thought when he opened the door, bent down habitually, and waited for the little guy to run over and climb onto his shoulders when he heard the noise.
-
Lin Han did work and live in an orderly manner according to his plan, but from the evening on, he began to look at the time constantly, and even Gululu felt that something was wrong.
When it was almost time to go to bed, he planned to disconnect the Internet in the living room to prevent Gululu from waking up in the middle of the night to watch TV series. However, as soon as he walked in front of the TV, he was still attracted by the news.
The evening news anchor read the script, saying that the emergency peacekeeping mecha team led by the admiral had set out, had contacted the Proton Star government, and would begin action immediately upon arrival.
The news cut to a report from Proton Star, in which the Executive Prime Minister solemnly thanked the Empire for its concern for their jurisdiction and said that he believed that with the Admiral's presence, they would be able to get through these difficult days.
He Yunting was not on the screen. After a brief summary, the announcer moved on to the next piece of news.
But Lin Han sat on the ground and did not turn off the TV immediately. Instead, he stared blankly for a while.
Gululu originally thought that he came here to disconnect the internet, and was a little resistant at first. But after seeing that he did not take the next step for a long time, she shook her fur and carefully threw herself into his arms, and took the initiative to put herself into Lin Han's palm, hoping that he would be happier if he touched her.
After feeling the comfort from Gululu, Lin Han finally came out of that inexplicable emotion. He followed its movements and gently touched its head.
How could it be so strange, Lin Han thought.
Even if He Yunting is still in the base, in the core area, the two of them cannot meet often. He may be busy with training and may not even have time to contact her.
But as soon as he left, I suddenly became panicked.
Lin Han has never been anywhere. The only time he left the empire was when he went to the border area for training with He Yunting some time ago.
He had no idea what the situation was over there, and he didn't even know what a proton star looked like, so he couldn't even give any instructions.
"What should I do?" Lin Han scratched the little guy's fur, "I think I'm starting to miss him now."
Gululu can't speak, but since he saw Lin Han take the initiative to kiss He Yunting at the entrance of the zoo, he finally understood deeply that he was no match for that man. He could only reach a reconciliation with himself with a sense of sympathy. As long as that stinky-faced man didn't mention shaving again, he would reluctantly not bother with him and be a tolerant group.
The little guy didn't know how to comfort Lin Han, so he just put his paws away and started rolling around in circles in his palms.
Lin Han was finally amused by its behavior. He held it in front of him and looked into its wet eyes: "Are you trying to comfort me?"
Gulu paused for a moment, then rubbed him with his tail to show affirmation.
"Thank you." Lin Han held it in his hand and brought it in front of him to express his gratitude.
Gurgle's nose moved.
Lin Han felt a sense of security as if he was healed by it. Looking at the little guy in front of him, he gently leaned forward and kissed the top of its head.
"I'm fine," he said.
He was fine, but the little guy started to have problems.
Gululu began to shiver all over, and at a rapid speed, the whole ball became hot.
It seemed that it couldn't even roll over. All four of its paws were spread out in a strange position. It turned around in Lin Han's palm, then stuck its head out and looked at Lin Han with its dark, beady eyes.
——Seems to be excited, but also seems to be shy.
After a while, Gululu jumped out of his hand dizzily, curled up in the blanket and began to savor the food carefully.
Lin Han turned off the light for it and said to it, "Good night."
But before going to bed, I couldn't help but think back to what happened in the afternoon, and the familiar ebony scent coming from the gap between each other's hugs.
It is common to leak some pheromones when you are aroused, so it is not surprising.
But when Lin Han sat on the bed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
-
On the other side, He Yunting's emergency troops did not stop and finally reached the V-shaped proton star where the riot occurred within a day.
He didn't expect Xu Zhiheng to follow him.
However, Lu Anhe had long understood that He Yunting had doubts, so he explained it for him before speaking: "Professor Xu has to come along no matter what."
He Yunting glanced at Xu Zhiheng, who had a serious expression on his face: "I can't guarantee your safety."
Xu Zhiheng had thought about this before coming, and there was no fear on his face: "You don't need to take special care of me, but I must go to the scene with you."
"After all, he was once my student, and the incident escalated so quickly. Someone must have been conducting this research in private," he said slowly. "If I were here, maybe I could solve the problem at the source."
"That……"
"Admiral, please believe me."
In the end, He Yunting just tightened the corners of his lips and did not refuse.
Ever since he set out on his journey, he has always felt a vague sense of depression in his heart, which made him feel inexplicably depressed and unable to find a way out.
After arriving at Proton Star, the government officials who were supposed to greet them and explain the situation did not show up at the agreed location on time.
The environment and climate of Proton Star are good. Except for the fact that its backward technology caused production to fail to keep up, which led to it being governed by the Empire, it is almost an excellent habitable planet.
The capital is a rainforest city. Regardless of your status, lush and green trees of all kinds that can only survive on proton stars are planted around the city, forming a unique ecology.
Since most people on the planet are betas, there is not as strong a chain of contempt as within the empire, so life is easy.
But now it seems that is not the case.
The troops marched into the city according to the map. The deeper they went, the more terrifying the scene became.
If the proton star was a vibrant rain forest before, it is now like a withered flower.
The rainforest ecology that was once so proud of has begun to show signs of depletion. It is obviously the most prosperous city on Proton Star, but now it looks like a dead city. The doors of all the houses in sight are closed, and many of the surrounding trees have been broken, revealing traces of dry sap, and stand crookedly on the roadside.
Even more terrifying is the corpse.
The road was covered in bright red blood, which stretched from the entrance of the once bustling shop to the street. At the public aircraft boarding point, there were piles of several unrecognizable body parts, burned by flames from somewhere unknown.
Under those originally lush trees - under almost every tree there was more than one person, it was unknown whether they were dead or alive, but they were all motionless.
Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, the roar of the mechas echoed in this seemingly lifeless city.
But when the troops activated the biological search system, it showed that there were still many humans nearby.
According to the thermal feedback, those so-called survivors exposed on the thermal display screen——
All of them are people who look motionless.
“Stop.”
He Yunting ordered.
After realizing something, he thought: "Turn on... Zerg interference mode."
Change happens in an instant.
After the mecha turned on the special sound waves specifically used to lure the Zerg, the people who were originally motionless and scattered together gradually straightened up again.
Then their appearance finally appeared clearly on the display screen inside the mecha.
Their faces were yellow, their heartbeats and breathing were still normal, and after being attracted by the sound waves, they no longer showed any aggressiveness, but instead walked towards this side in groups.
Of course the most obvious thing is that everyone’s eyes are no longer clear, and their pupils are upright.
He Yunting heard a gasp coming from the communicator between the mechas.
Soon, Lu Anhe's voice rang out.
"Boss, these..." He paused, still not saying the word "people", and asked, "Do you want to load the weapons directly into the arsenal?"
If they weren't "humans", they would be wiped out in an instant with just one railgun shot.
