Chapter 6: Two Enemies
Ai Zhe frowned unhappily on the spot.
He felt that Dr. Tuman was mocking him.
He was puzzled and vaguely angry.
"Hey, Aizhe, don't be like this."
Dr. Tuman spread his hands and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"I'm straight, of course, I know, and you are too."
Noson also frowned.
He certainly knew that Ai Zhe had been "insulted" by a possibly homosexual insect king in that insect nest...
I was almost forced by the other party...
But he couldn't help but wonder—
It's been so long since Ai Zhe came back. What do you think about this matter?
What does Ai Zhe think and what does he plan to do in the future?
Ai Zhe's expression was obviously not good.
Dr. Tuman smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aizhe, none of us will laugh at you. You have made a great contribution."
"Even the fact that you were harassed by male insects will be of great help to our subsequent research."
Ai Zhe was still unhappy and turned his head away slightly.
"The data brought back by this mission is very valuable."
Tuman continued.
“It can almost serve as advance reference material for our next mission.”
He pushed the device screen forward.
"Now we can confirm that there is something in that abandoned valley."
"Next, we will launch the second mission soon."
A cold gleam flashed in Tuman's glasses.
"If that area really contains the remaining resources and weapons we need, or even other lands that we can survive and develop..."
"But this time, you two won't be the only ones going. Of course, you two will still be the first."
"The amount of information you two brought back this time is so helpful—"
"It's almost certain that the area of the Zewo Waste Valley is most likely the wasteland left behind by the battle between the two major alliances..."
Ai Zhe frowned as he listened to Tuman's words.
"The Carapace Spiders have never attacked us."
Ai Zhe spoke in a restrained tone.
"If we rashly ask for their territory, I'm afraid they won't agree easily."
"The armored spiders I've come into contact with recently are powerful creatures that possess advanced intelligence and defend their territory."
"Nor have they ever shown any intention of attacking our living areas."
Aizhe paused, his expression serious, as if he was thinking about something deeper.
Although he did hate the Shell Spider King.
But he was worried that if the organization acted rashly and tried to seize the territory...
If a powerful alien creature like the Beetle is provoked.
I am afraid it will lead to more difficult to control consequences.
This was the judgment he came to after escaping from the insect king.
Of course, as a Zeta, he also hopes to take over more land and expand his homeland in the right way.
But it must be advanced realistically and prudently.
Never underestimate the power of alien species.
"Oh ha ha, of course. I know."
Tuman smiled and waved his hand, "We will proceed with caution."
"You guys rest first. We'll arrange support personnel and tools for the second round of missions. Once all the resources are ready, we'll set off again."
"Aizhe, after you come back, if your body has any subsequent reactions..."
Tuman stretched out his hand and said to Aizhe.
"I'll contact the doctor myself."
Ai Zhe's lips turned pale and he stared at the table uncomfortably.
“During the rest period, you must pay attention and do everything that needs to be done.”
"Physical examination, psychological testing, physical reconstruction training, daily medicinal baths..."
"Checking for potential sequelae... those are all important."
Northen didn't say much, but just stared at Aizhe's profile, frowning slightly with a complicated expression.
Ai Zhe returned to his room.
He lived in a one-room cabin on the inner west side of the camp.
Zeta's camps in this area are not large, but they are finely divided.
After returning from a mission, high-ranking warriors like Ai Zhe are usually placed in a small cabin with an independent living system as part of their recuperation process.
The house is fully equipped with a small yard surrounded by a low wall.
He also kept a dog in his room, a normal small animal that was extremely rare in the apocalypse.
It was a puppy he found in a barren ruin while on a mission.
The puppy had just been born, and it was obvious that it had been born and protected by a strong mother.
But the mother may have become food for others.
He secretly rescued the puppy during a mission and has been carrying it ever since.
It is said that he can go without energy supplements himself and still save some meat for the puppy as a snack.
At this moment, he squatted down and held the puppy in his arms, who had not seen him for many days and rushed towards him enthusiastically.
I rubbed its soft ears and wiped its feet with a cloth.
It's completely different from the ruthlessness of chopping someone without blinking.
"Chi."
Northam, who lived in a nearby cottage, came out of the shower and saw this scene. He couldn't help laughing with a mixture of contempt, resentment and other complicated emotions.
Why did this guy look so inhumane when he hit me?!
Are you taking out all your anger on me?
As a new recruit in your team, am I no better than a dog?
It was almost evening. Ai Zhe stood up, sent the dog back into the house, and went to the yard to practice with his sword.
The simulation instrument was on a bracket in the corner of the yard, projecting a semi-realistic simulated enemy shadow.
"Hello."
Northam came over and called to him across the low wall.
Ai Zhe chopped down with his sword, his movements were quick and decisive.
He turned around and saw Northen's handsome face and dark golden curly hair, and his expression instantly turned cold.
He put away the knife, ignored Northam, turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
But Northam found a topic and mentioned it casually:
"The scar on my hand is still there, and it hurt a little when I applied the medicine a few days ago."
Edge paused.
Of course he knew which time Northam was talking about.
That was the first week that Northam was transferred in, and the first time the two played against each other.
That was a regular fighting competition held by frontline fighters.
Ai Zhe was in a bad mood at that time, and was a little unhappy with this new recruit with a complicated background. So when the other party took the initiative to propose a sparring match, he took it all seriously and showed no mercy.
Northen is tall and handsome, but he also has a good amount of muscle. However, he is not the kind of explosive and physically overwhelming warrior. He prefers the agile and quick-reacting type.
During the battle, Northen was particularly stubborn. Aizhe had not expected that the opponent would burst out with such a stubborn spirit and rushed up with a magnetic knife in hand.
But on that day, he seemed to be irritated.
A series of fierce chops, moves and roars.
To be honest, Ai Zhe didn't use all his strength that day, but the opponent kept rushing towards him with a knife, so how could he not fight back?
