Chapter 80
He Yunting didn't wake her up in the end, but he was reluctant to disconnect the communication either.
At first, Gululu would come over to see what the two were doing, but later he found that one was sleeping and the other was in a daze, as if such a large light screen did not exist. The two humans were very boring, and it was just an ordinary little genius who connected the video.
After a while, it felt sleepy itself, but thought about how He Yunting didn't want it to die just now, and since the admiral had given in, Gululu decided not to bother with him. Finally, it moved its ears, didn't get closer, but retracted its limbs and rolled back to Lin Han's side, rubbed against Lin Han's neck as usual, getting the temperature it liked best, then curled up obediently into a small black coal ball, and soon fell asleep.
He Yunting's room returned to peace, even the wind was silent.
As the young man slept uneasily, the quilt was not covered very well, and it only barely covered his legs, revealing his outline, while the rest of his body was exposed.
It was late at night in the Empire. He Yunting had no idea when Lin Han fell asleep. He could only see his messy hair covering his forehead because he kept tossing and turning. His skin was naturally very fair, with black hair lightly scattered on it, making his face look even more delicate and gentle. He Yunting could almost still recall the delicate and soft touch when he gently touched it.
Although he had never been out of the working class area before college, he was not at all affected by the less-than-perfect atmosphere there.
It was as if he was born a work of art, and I was just a lucky person who happened to be favored by him.
Lin Han's love and kisses were pure, even her sexual desire was so pure. Because of this, his longing for her became an alluring luxury. Even though he wanted to lean over and pick it up, he was worried that it would be nothing but an illusion, and he would only get a handful of disappointment.
There were wrinkles on the uniform caused by the young man. It had been pulled for too long. Maybe after a while the housekeeper would frown and wonder why it was like that, and then apologize and iron it flat for him.
He Yunting has always been meticulous, but now he suddenly feels that it is not a bad idea to wear it with the marks left by the other party fiddling with it.
Lin Han slept in his bed, grabbing his clothes, and all the silent actions were telling him, I miss you very much.
But Lin Han would not urge him to come back unreasonably, nor would he do so repeatedly to the point of affecting his work.
He is so good, so good that He Yunting doesn't even want to look at him now.
He had killed Zerg and space pirates, but today he was using the most advanced weapons so easily to target people who were once as ordinary as those in all the civilian areas of the empire.
How could he touch him with these hands again?
He Yunting felt a little hot-eyed, and his originally cold chest and limbs seemed to be gradually warming up.
He finally covered his face with his hands and closed his eyes tiredly.
-
Lin Han's biological clock was very punctual, and this was the scene he saw when he woke up.
Gululu didn't wake up, so he had no way of knowing whether he was pressed by the little guy when He Yunting contacted him.
He Yunting fell asleep, with his face supported by his hands, his expression could not be seen clearly, and his breathing was steady.
Lin Han then remembered that he had never seen He Yunting sleeping.
When the two of them were in the border area before, he didn't have any nutritional supplements and his physical condition was not good. He was always drowsy and had no strength, and was very sleepy. Every time he got up, He Yunting was already awake. It seemed that he would never get tired in front of him.
Now He Yunting was leaning in his cockpit without even lowering the driver's seat. But he was too tall and his legs were not fully straightened, making this posture look uncomfortable, just a short rest between battles.
He seemed very serious even when he was asleep, his military uniform still looking neat, as if he could regain consciousness in the next second and continue to carry out his mission, becoming the unattainable general that everyone admired.
Lin Han thought that if he made the slightest sound at this moment, the other party would definitely open his cold and sharp eyes immediately and would not waver for a moment.
He slowly sat up from the bed and subconsciously looked down—his face suddenly felt hot.
He Yunting's uniform was held tightly by her, and was full of wrinkles. Lin Han didn't know how long she had slept with his clothes in her arms at night, and whether He Yunting had seen it. If he had seen it, how would he feel?
However, he soon became too lazy to make such guesses. After all, he had done that kind of thing through the video when the other party was in a susceptible period. It was just grabbing the clothes. He Yunting would definitely not mind.
Just see it.
Lin Han carefully put He Yunting's military uniform back on the bed, and stared at his face in the video for a long time, until the time he and Qi Jiamu agreed to pick him up for work came, he sighed reluctantly in his heart, leaned over and clicked close.
I really want to talk to him and hear his voice.
But I want him to have a good and peaceful sleep amidst the killing and self-struggle.

The "cleaning" of the proton star continues.
After a brief rest, the formation continued to move forward, this time the destination was Chris Harbor where they first landed.
Although it is not the original birthplace of the aliens, this is the most seriously affected area in the entire Proton Star. It fell the fastest and there is no hope of recovery.
The aliens here are basically all mature "insects". Chris Port is close to the sea and the altitude is relatively low. When the formation arrived, no human-related habits could be seen on them.
With the experience of the previous day, and the fact that Chris Port was relatively easier to clean up than Desert City, they used the same method, cruelly and coldly turning on the interfering sound waves, gathering the aliens together, and using all possible weapons to attack these former humans.
Because it was more convenient to deal with corpses near the sea, the mecha formation simply led most of the aliens to the seaside. They stepped on the heavy dust and came to the trap that humans had already prepared. Because there were too many of them, the heavy mechas led by M2742 began to store energy. The power of the railgun after it was fully charged should not be underestimated. At a command, the bombardment that resounded through the sky was like thunder, wrapped in smoke and flames, and rushed towards the group of screaming horrible aliens at an unprecedented speed, shattering their chests, blowing up their limbs, and then pushing them into the sea with absolute inertia.
The originally blue sea was dyed light red by the loud noises of falling objects. Every ripple was filled with blood and gave off an unpleasant smell.
The cleanup of Chris Port was carried out quickly, so they did not stop to rest this time and headed directly to the last city, Likoro City, where the gene began to spread.
Originally they thought that the first city would be the most seriously affected, so in order to ensure that there would be no accidents, the fleet rechecked their armaments.
But the scene upon arrival didn't seem like that.
Unlike Chris Harbor where there was no trace of human presence, although like Desert City, there were people lying in the middle of the road and people eating the roots of plants at an incredible speed, there were still subtle differences in comparison.
All the supermarkets were basically emptied, and some stores even had their lights on. Although they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, the soldiers had some other associations.
"Could it be possible..." someone reported on the communicator, "that there are still people alive?"
Lu Anhe reminded: "But this is the city where the aliens first occurred."
They parked the mecha near Likoro University.
He Yunting opened the map and assigned tasks and areas as usual.
Just as he was about to finish the arrangement, a certain sergeant finally couldn't help but speak out - it was about the association just now.
This association was confirmed when they saw a cake shop.
There was nothing unusual to be seen around here for the time being, and the store was lit with warm yellow lights. Scattered in the glass cabinets were cakes of various colors that had been baked at some unknown time. A frail young man stood in front of the cabinet, seemingly looking around and choosing which one was better.
He seemed unaware that the city was now abandoned and communications were blocked. He just wanted to pick out a cake that he liked.
Aliens will not eat human food.
There was no expression on the boy's face. He walked slowly to the side with a somewhat stiff step. He picked up a tray lined with oil paper and reached out to open one of the glass cabinets.
The formation has not yet dispersed, and everyone can see the current scene.
No one spoke on the public channel for a short while.
The boy finally chose a piece of cake covered with thick chocolate sauce. He walked silently to the counter, found a transparent square box, and slowly put the cake in by holding the bottom.
"The plan remains unchanged." He Yunting's voice finally rang out again, as cold as the ice and snow that never melts in the extremely cold regions. "Repeat, the plan remains unchanged."
He seemed not to hear the inhalation sounds and continued to give his orders.
The young man finally packed the cake, walked to the door, and was about to push it open to go out.
"Report!" a pilot said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Admiral, due to my negligence, Professor Xu, Professor Xu took off the safety lock by himself and forcibly got off the mecha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the famous professor with half-gray hair running towards the cake shop and towards the frail boy.
Xu Zhiheng even carried his bag and rushed forward to grab the boy's hand as if he was risking his life. The boy did not understand the sudden change and let him pull him, but he still held tightly in his hand the chocolate cake he had packed.
He knew that his actions would disrupt his current plan, but he didn't seem afraid and was prepared. He pulled the boy and stopped in front of m2742.
Xu Zhiheng ran too fast. After all, he was an omega, so he couldn't help but take a breath. Then he looked up and shouted at the mecha: "Admiral!"
No one dared to speak on the public channel. No one knew what would happen to Xu Zhiheng if he disobeyed orders and escaped.
A minute later, m2742 finally moved.
There was a pop-up enclosed capsule cabin inside the advanced mecha. He Yunting did not come out from it, but walked into the cabin and lowered the capsule cabin to a position close to the ground. Through a transparent cabin door, he looked at Xu Zhiheng expressionlessly.
"Professor Xu." His voice was cold.
Xu Zhiheng walked closer, pulled the silent boy, and knocked on He Yunting's cabin door.
"He is a human, he is a human..." Xu Zhiheng said anxiously, "There are obviously still humans in this city, can't you see it!"
He Yunting turned his head, lifted the brim of his military cap with his hand, and looked at him with a frown.
The meaning of her eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, was very clear: she hoped Xu Zhiheng would stay out of the way.
"Human?" He Yunting's voice was not loud, but every word seemed to contain ice chips. "This human, it seems, can't even speak."
Xu Zhiheng had no intention of backing down. Seeing He Yunting was about to raise his hand to signal, he immediately spoke.
"His symptoms are similar to Aze's!" Because Qi Jiaze was secretly adopted by He Yunting, Xu Zhiheng could only use the words that Qi Jiamu often called instead of Qi Jiaze's name. He explained hurriedly, fearing that if he was a minute late, the life in front of him would disappear in his hands and under He Yunting's orders. He protected the young man in front of him from the back of his neck to his back. He stretched out his hand and gently soothed him. The other party had no hostility to begin with, so he obediently let Xu Zhiheng do what he wanted.
It seems that the symptoms are indeed similar to Qi Jiaze's. He walks in a slightly stiff posture and looks a little dull, but he still retains the characteristics of human consciousness.
"Aze has improved, Admiral, you know that!" Xu Zhiheng argued, wanting He Yunting to hear his words, "I don't care where the genes came from or who did the experiment, but I won't admit my mistake."
"He is an omega." He Yunting turned sideways indifferently and interrupted him coldly.
It was Xu Zhiheng himself who discovered this omega with a blood-burning physique.
He Yunting didn't say this.
But what this means is that it is still unknown whether these glandless beta cells can be treated using Qi Jiaze's previous method.
In front of He Yunting, unknown things are all uncertainties that should be eliminated.
They have used the same method to completely clear out two medium-sized rainforest cities.
"They... they originally had families." Xu Zhiheng said, "Maybe their families are still waiting for him. This city is different from the previous two, Admiral, you can see that."
"But their parents may have also mutated and cannot recognize their own children at all. They may even want to tear them apart and eat them like crazy." He Yunting was unmoved and didn't even look at them. He stated another fact calmly.
"But, but the child in front of you doesn't have vertical pupils," Xu Zhiheng begged, "I brought some of the results of my treatment of Aze. Please, let me give it a try. This is a university, there must be a functioning laboratory..."
"I only need two days, no, one day, at least one day, to try to solve this problem."
"As long as he is similar to Aze, as long as they are similar..." Xu Zhiheng repeated it twice before continuing, "Then it won't be difficult."
"Professor Xu, you may not understand the current problem."
"You left the team without permission and came into contact with someone who might be infected," He Yunting said without comment. "I'm sorry, even though it's my responsibility to ensure your safety, I also need to be responsible for my soldiers."
"After the cleanup of Likoro City was completed, I even considered taking you back to Central City."
Xu Zhiheng remained silent, but still did not let go of the boy's hand.
He was so excited when he spoke just now that the boy's chocolate cake fell to the ground. It seemed that he still didn't pack it properly. The cake fell out of the square box and rolled half a circle on the ground, but the shape was still intact.
"The moment I saw him, I just felt that... he looked a lot like Xiao Meng." He said this slowly, his eyes dimming, "But I didn't even get to see him for the last time."
"I don't want to go through this again. He looks like... a very good kid."
He Yunting seemed not to be at all moved by Xu Zhiheng's words, as if Ji Meng's death was already a thing of the past for him.
Xu Zhiheng finally made a decision and raised his face again. He was no longer as hysterical as he was two days ago, but more determined. "If the mission in Likoro City is completed and I still haven't made any progress."
"You can leave without me."
He Yunting looked down at Xu Zhiheng coldly.
"Check if there are any aliens near Likoro University." He gave the order in a deep voice. After obtaining the confirmed information that there were no aliens within two kilometers, he turned around and looked at Xu Zhiheng again.
"I won't delay the mission for you."
“Likewise, please remember your words.”
-
The clearance mission was carried out smoothly.
This city was indeed very strange, but apart from that young man, everyone could not find any other human traces.
The city of Likoro is larger than the previous two cities and not as easy to clean as Port Chris, so it took a little longer.
Each mecha performs its own duties, shuttling through the gunfire and screams, blasting open the aliens' brains and hearts again and again, then setting them on flames, burning, and melting.
A whole day.
The dusk here is still bloody, with a strong fishy smell and the roars of all alien creatures.
Finally, they returned to Likoro University where they had arrived.
Xu Zhiheng walked out after hearing the roar of the mecha.
There was a young man standing next to him, but this time he was not holding a cake.
The thin boy had clear eyes without any trace of vertical pupils.
Xu Zhiheng's expression had changed significantly compared to a day ago. Even now He Yunting still did not walk out of the mecha, but only spoke to him through the cabin door.
Xu Zhiheng's voice was trembling with excitement: "Look, I succeeded, I can do it..."
Although the boy's steps were still slow, they were much better than before.
He walked step by step to the front of m2742, and finally stopped one meter away. He squinted his eyes, smiled stiffly, and said word by word -
"Hello."
