Chapter 85



Chapter 85

The most torturous thing is that He Yunting has not come back yet. Even if he can shut Qin Zian's mouth today, he cannot shut the mouths of thousands of invisible people who are more terrifying than Qin Zian who takes things out of context.

This kind of thing cannot be stopped once there is a sign of it.

"I understand." He still smiled at Qi Jiamu, "Thank you."

Qi Jiamu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally fell silent and only responded softly.

Qi Jiamu sent Lin Han to He Yunting's residence and left.

Lin Han felt something was different as soon as he stepped through the door. He guessed that the person in charge of taking care of the place on time had been there.

In fact, since He Yunting was not coming back, there was basically no need to take care of the room. Lin Han smelled the scent of freshly turned soil.

The climate of the Empire is not very similar to that of the Earth before, so the flowering period of tulips will be slightly delayed and will not bloom until late spring.

Lin Han had seen this large flower field a few days ago, and remembered that when the two of them were in the border area, they said that the tulips would soon bloom after they returned, and they wanted to wait for them to come back together to see them.

But he didn't expect that the flower had just grown into stems and leaves, and He Yunting didn't even have time to take a look at it. When he was about to come back, what greeted him was completely different.

Lin Han walked to the flower field. Every flower was trimmed neatly. He had never seen such a large flower field. In fact, he was curious about why He Yunting would plant such a large number of tulips. After all, in his opinion before, the other party seemed to have no hobbies, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But it’s not that there is no good news, Lin Han thought.

At least when He Yunting comes back, the tulips he likes will bloom.

-

Gululu has quickly adapted to the new life and has come to realize that He Yunting is really away recently. The coat that scared it is just an empty shell and nothing to be afraid of.

The little guy even started doing some courage exercises for this purpose. For example, when Lin Han wasn't paying attention, he would sneakily pull up He Yunting's military uniform with his claws, and then land on the epaulettes to show off his power. He thought that when the man really appeared in front of him wearing this uniform, he would be able to compete with him - at least he wouldn't lose in momentum.

Lin Han returned to He Yunting's study.

Since He Yunting said that he had a problem with his memory and the problem occurred on that day, and He Yunting didn't allow him to run around, Lin Han couldn't find any other way, so he decided to start from that day and look for any suspicious clues.

He first looked at He Yunting's attendance record again. Indeed, that period was the training period of that year. Judging from the strictness of this year, He Yunting stayed in the base almost like a sergeant. If nothing happened, it would be impossible for him to be absent for the whole afternoon.

But what could have happened that day?

Lin Han looked through the records of the same day three years ago and found that He Yunting had only left on that day, so there was no duplication. He checked again based on the shooting training, but couldn't find anything unusual.

Was there anything special about that day?

At the same time, he looked at the base's dispatch records of mechas, and found that no mecha left the base that day.

Lin Han really had no idea and had no authority to obtain more detailed information about the base. Just as he was about to put He Yunting's records away, something suddenly occurred to him.

Maybe we don't have to start with He Yunting, but something happened in the empire itself that day.

He quickly opened the search engine and typed in today's date, hoping to find something different in the news.

The people of the Empire have varying access to information, and different partitions have different messages involved. Lin Han did not miss any area except the core area and browsed through it quickly.

A lot of things happened that day. For example, after Wen Tianyao experienced the people's sentiments in the civilian area, he returned to the core area to give a speech. For example, the zoo in area Q introduced a batch of new creatures and sincerely invited those who were interested to visit.

Another example is the academic master of biological science Xu Zhiheng, who brought his favorite students to give an academic lecture at the Imperial Army...

Lin Han suddenly held his breath.

I have an impression of this lecture.

When he was studying, he liked to attend Xu Zhiheng's lectures very much. After he started working, he also lived near the Imperial Military University. At that time, he had just joined the research institute and was very busy every day. He only had a little free time on holidays, so he didn't hesitate and went to listen to Xu Zhiheng's lectures as usual.

At that time, an assistant teacher had been diligently helping Xu Zhiheng. Now that I think about it, he should be the "favorite student" mentioned in the report.

The other person's name is Xi Yuan.

Lin Han's gaze stopped on it, and combined with what had happened during this period, a strong intuition told him that no matter whether He Yunting's memory was related to this, Xi Yuan might have other thoughts at this time.

I seemed to have forgotten to bring my nutritional supplements that day. I felt very sleepy halfway through the lecture, but didn’t want to leave, so I leaned against a corner and accidentally fell asleep.

When he woke up, the lecture had ended and only a few students were still chatting.

He felt a little embarrassed, after all, he came to the lecture specially and still fell asleep, but he didn't think much about it and left the venue and went home. His life after that was the same as usual, with nothing unusual.

Lin Han's heart suddenly started beating violently.

He Yunting's attendance record has not been closed yet. Lin Han has just flipped through a lot of it. In some records, He Yunting would also write down Lu Anhe's report. But on the day of the lecture, there was no record of Lu Anhe's report.

In other words, it is very likely that the two left the base together that day.

Lin Han bit her lip, and a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

Is it possible that He Yunting was also present at the lecture at that time?

Could it be that Lu Anhe knew something but couldn't tell He Yunting for various reasons?

There was no evidence to support this guess, but Lin Han felt his entire chest trembling.

Could it be that He Yunting’s memory is related to me?

-

The fleet officially returned two days later.

The cities that had been sprayed with antagonist aerosols began to recover gradually. Although many people still could not fully return to normal, there were no new symptoms and the disease would no longer attack humans.

The residents began to stop calling them “oddballs”; now that they had gotten better, they were just traumatized patients.

However, to be cautious, the reconstruction of the three cities was temporarily put on hold. Proton Star decided to wait until most of the infected people recovered before starting construction. The top priority now is to maintain the existing stability.

Xu Zhiheng hadn't slept for two days. When he finally left, he was afraid of any omissions, so he kept explaining various precautions to the Proton Star experts, not missing a single detail.

The residents of Proton Star deeply realized the seriousness of the matter, and no one blamed the supporting team for clearing three cities. Many things have opportunities. Perhaps the opportunity to solve this matter is the young man rescued by Xu Zhiheng - although there is no news of him now.

No one knew when the turning point would occur. They knew that if He Yunting had not ordered the massacre, if Xu Zhiheng had not followed, and if this young man had not appeared, then Proton Star might only have the Central City left.

Therefore, no one complains, and just wants to cherish the hard-earned stability now.

It’s just that after the communication was opened, the message was transmitted very quickly. When the news reached the empire, many people no longer thought so.

Just as Lin Han thought, within two days, even though the mainstream media deliberately avoided mentioning this matter, all kinds of rumors still spread like wildfire.

Whether it is colleagues in the hospital or various comments on the Internet, everyone is discussing the rescue of the Proton Star with their own opinions.

They are not like the people of Proton Star. Due to the uneven distribution of the three genders, the people of the empire have different perspectives on things. Some agree, some think that there is nothing wrong with He Yunting's behavior, some think he is too reckless and hasty, and some even raise the issue to the issue of gender, saying that it is indeed the alpha power that is in power. It is an insult to the imperial era that such a cruel person can hold a high position without being held accountable.

Naturally, some of this information will be fed back to the formation.

This was not the first time that the formation had experienced such a thing, and Lu Anhe didn't even need to say anything, as everyone kept silent. But despite this, they still saw He Yunting's increasingly silent brows and a face that was even colder than usual.

When leaving, Chang Lin and the other people from Proton Star insisted on sending the formation away. Lu Anhe knew he couldn't persuade them, so he just went with them.

When they arrived, they did not expect the seriousness of the matter, and when they left, they felt that it was unexpected that there would be a new turn of events in this situation.

According to the serial number, each mecha slowly set sail, heading for its homeland amid gazes of joy, admiration, or gratitude.

-

The formation was very secretive when it left, but was much more high-profile when it came back.

He Yunting has to report to the emperor first. After that, he will usually have a short rest for a few days, and then return to the base to continue what he should do.

This time, the fleet did not stay at a remote anchorage, but instead flew over Area L and airdropped directly into the core area. After passing the iconic central statue representing the core area, it headed towards its destination.

Lin Han stood next to the central statue.

The Central Avenue is very spacious because it was originally created for the triumph of the army.

Lin Han had only seen it on TV before. Every time a hero returned with glory, the people would gather on both sides to welcome him.

He didn't expect that when he stood here for the first time, there wouldn't be many people coming to greet him.

He couldn't wait for He Yunting to arrive and contact him. No matter what, he wanted to see him first - even if it was just a mecha.

Lin Han had imagined many ways to welcome He Yunting's return. People should hold flowers and shout the admiral's name where the formation would pass by, with every word filled with excitement and admiration - after all, he was a god in everyone's heart.

But it's definitely not like it is now.

Even though there were people nearby, they were still discussing He Yunting's decision this time, saying that he shouldn't have done that. Some even brought things they could use to mess things up, standing there with indignation on their faces, waiting for the mecha to pass by so that they could question, condemn, and discuss the issue of "human nature."

Although the weather had turned warmer, Lin Han still felt cold.

Finally, after waiting for who knows how long, someone in the front shouted "The formation has arrived", and the originally stagnant crowd became lively.

Lin Han's heart trembled when he heard the familiar engine sound. At a certain moment, he was so sad that he didn't even want to raise his head.

He had never escaped from anything, but now he hoped that He Yunting's formation would not pass through the central avenue or come to the central statue.

"Admiral, don't you want to explain?"

"How many lives were lost at your command?"

"They don't even have the ability to resist, and you actually use mechas as tools for slaughter—"

Some people around started throwing things at the mecha, their voices filled with righteous anger, while others whispered that we should not jump to conclusions, as the admiral must have his own reasons.

But the "justice" that was touted at this moment was the loudest, and those so-called excuses were ultimately drowned out by the voice of anger.

It's noisy.

Lin Han didn't want to look up, but couldn't help but look at him.

The sound of the engine was getting closer and closer. He raised his head among the noisy crowd. When his eyes were focused on the mecha that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, he almost stopped breathing at that moment.

The huge mecha was like a cold container, moving forward without looking around, followed by his subordinates.

People will only blame the leader, because even though the mecha is tall, its feet are still stained with some dirt thrown by some radical people.

It's noisy.

m2742 was slowly driving towards him. Lin Han didn't move, just stared at it intently.

He looked into the mecha's eyes, as if his gaze could penetrate the cold iron sheet and see the man sitting in the cockpit.

It's really... too noisy around here.

Did He Yunting see himself?

How would he feel at this moment?

His expression must be very cold now, and his deep blue eyes must be filled with calm and silent emotions. He will definitely not say anything, and he will definitely not blame anyone.

Except He Yunting himself.

Lin Han pursed his lips tightly, not letting any emotion leak out. He stood there silently, waiting for the huge mecha to pass by him.

-

An hour later, Lin Han took the initiative to call Lu Anhe.

The other party was not surprised that he came up to him, and said politely: "Mr. Lin, the boss is probably not free now, and Qi Jiamu also has to go back to the base to report..."

"I know." Lin Han responded, "I may have to trouble Lieutenant Colonel Lu. I feel a little unwell today. Can you come to the research institute to pick me up?"

Lu Anhe agreed: "Okay."

Soon, He Yunting's aircraft arrived at the entrance of the research institute.

Lu Anhe didn't ask any more questions: "Mr. Lin, are you going back to your apartment?"

"No." Lin Han said in a calm voice, "Go to his manor."

Lu Anhe was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Han to be so straightforward. However, he said nothing and drove Lin Han back as if he was familiar with the route.

The two of them spoke in silence along the way.

After sending Lin Han to the destination, Lu Anhe still couldn't help but saw that Lin Han's face was not good. He thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, the boss should be back soon."

Lin Han responded softly.

Lu Anhe thought that Lin Han would be unhappy because of He Yunting's coldness when he returned, so he quickly explained to him: "Mr. Lin, I know you went to the central statue today. The boss was afraid that he would implicate you because of his relationship, so..."

"It's okay." Lin Han didn't look angry, but there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

Lu Anhe breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go back first."

"Wait." Lin Han called out to him.

He smiled, hiding the emotion between his brows, and said to Lu Anhe, "By the way, I have a question for you."

Lu Anhe stopped and nodded, "Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?"

Lin Han said in a normal tone: "It's just a little doubt about the general."

Lu Anhe had no doubts: "Okay."

But at this moment Lin Han stopped smiling and his expression suddenly changed.

"——Has the General forgotten me?"

As these words fell, Lin Han stared at Lu Anhe's eyes calmly.

He thought of many ways to approach it, such as tentatively asking whether He Yunting was present at the lecture three years ago, whether they had met somewhere before, or whether something had happened since He Yunting did not show up for shooting training that day.

But he suddenly didn't want to wait anymore. He didn't want to see He Yunting standing downstairs of his apartment building, looking lonely, waiting for an entire silent night. He didn't want to feel the trembling, hesitation and bitterness in his kiss anymore. He didn't want to wait until the tulips in the flower field bloomed and withered, and the El Inniho Nebula disappeared into the Milky Way, and he would never have the chance to see it again in his life.

Lin Han knew that this question was ridiculous, but even if it was to trick Lu Anhe, he wanted to get an answer.

He saw Lu Anhe's eyes tremble violently.

"That's what I'm saying," Lin Han relaxed and curled his lips again, looking half joking and half serious, "I suddenly thought of it yesterday."

The other person's expression showed only a moment of surprise when he said that, but soon there was no trace of surprise.

Lu Anhe laughed along with Lin Han, his tone relaxed and natural: "Why did Mr. Lin suddenly think so? The boss had been at the base before, and the last time I met Mr. Lin at the celebration banquet was the first time."

Lin Han nodded in agreement and lowered his eyes.

"I'm sorry." The smile on Lin Han's face did not disappear, he just lowered his head and said softly.

Before Lu Anhe understood why Lin Han was apologizing, the other party suddenly took a step closer and almost eagerly grabbed his hand.

"...Mr. Lin?" Lu Anhe hesitated for a second, looking puzzled.

Lin Han's hands were shaking, and Lu Anhe's voice, which was different from the calm voice at the moment, appeared in his ears.

What happened to Mr. Lin? 】

[I should have remained calm just now. 】

But why did he suddenly ask this? 】

[What should I do? Could it be that Mr. Lin... knows? 】

The author has something to say: Xiaolin: I cheated, I cheated

The love line said there is no knife! Don't panic! Don't spoil the story in the comments section above.

I write very slowly, please send me a 30 red packet

Two useless Easter eggs: When naming the Nebula, the name of the El Iniho Nebula was borrowed from the transliteration of the German word "memory", and the flower language of the purple tulip is everlasting love.
