Chapter 24 Kerry suddenly woke up and thought: If I were really Sezer...
Suddenly waking up, Kerry's forehead was covered with sweat.
His jet-black hair was wet and stuck to his cheeks, and a large area of his clothes was soaked.
Sitting on the bed, Carrie gasped for breath, his body heaving, his eyes filled with fear.
Looking up at the dark night sky, Kerry slowly lay down.
At this moment, he had lost all desire to sleep and was left with only that bizarre and terrifying dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Carrie found his terminal and typed in the four words "Sezer Family".
The young female insect looked serious, trying hard to find something from this huge database.
His Highness Lanrod said that apart from Chief Cerzean, the only other member of this branch of the Cerze family was the male insect who died young.
But it was obvious that he was not a male insect, but... that dream.
Carrie pursed his lips, his brows furrowed. Could it be that the Sezer family had another child that had never been made public?
Click on the photo of the Saze family, which is a photo of the upper-class nobles at the top banquet.
His gaze rested on Cerzean, Cerzewen, and Lord Xia. Looking at those extremely outstanding and familiar faces, Carrie felt as if his heart was pierced by a blunt object.
He has been an orphan since he came to the human world. He has no relatives and only a kind-hearted director of an orphanage took him in.
Carrie once longed for family affection. He saw that his classmates and friends had fathers and siblings, but he himself was alone from beginning to end.
Gradually, Carrie got used to it. He got used to doing things alone and making decisions alone, because he only needed to be responsible for himself.
His eyes swept across the photo on the screen, and Kerry reached out and touched it.
The corners of his lips trembled, and Kairi withdrew his fingers.
Carrie bit his lower lip with his upper teeth and thought: If he was really a descendant of the Sezer family, why was he abandoned?
Is it because of his C-rank?
For a noble family like the Saze family, it would be very embarrassing if a C-level female insect was born.
Kerry remembered that he had heard that the imperial clan Gukamon family was furious because an A-level female insect was born. After all, in a clan like that, most of the female insects born were above S-level.
An A-level female insect could cause such outrage, let alone he was only a C-level one.
A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, and Kerry took a breath.
He vaguely recalled an incident that happened when he was still a human.
[Your clothes are so dirty, and you stutter when you speak. No wonder your parents don't want you. You deserve it!]
[Hahaha, yes, yes, he is an orphan, even his family members dislike him.]
"Let him leave our school. I don't want to be classmates with a dirty kid."
…
Finally, someone hugged Kerry and bought him a new set of clothes. It was the dean.
Kerry still remembers the funeral when the dean passed away. It was drizzling that day and the ground was wet.
It was very cold that day, cold enough to penetrate the bone marrow.
His eyes gradually froze, and Kerry slowly came back to his senses. His face was a little pale, but he forced himself to smile.
Dreams are not necessarily real, maybe it is just a dream.
And why should I believe in a dream?
Carrie kept convincing herself in her heart and wanted to turn off the screen.
But when his fingertips touched it, he couldn't help but look at the photo.
In the photo, Serzewen looks gentle, steady and dignified.
Kerry suddenly thought of the hug in his dream, as if there was really a family member holding his hand, meeting his requests, and doing their best to love and pamper him.
Carrie's vision was blurred, a thin mist covered his eyes, making the tip of his nose slightly red.
Staring blankly at the people in the photo, Carrie slowly lowered his head.
What if, what if he really has relatives?
First Legion
"Damn, you're so lucky! You even fell into the belly of a strange beast and came back alive!" Geras walked around Carrie excitedly. God knows how surprised he was to see Carrie still alive.
Kerry lowered his head embarrassedly: "Maybe it's just luck."
"Luck is also part of strength!" Looking at Carrie's beautiful and well-behaved appearance, Geras couldn't help but pinch his cheek.
But as soon as he touched Carrie's skin, Geras felt a chill behind him, and a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind.
Turning his head to look at Lanrod standing behind him, Geras looked at his hands that wanted to knead Kerry's face.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Geras immediately withdrew his hand, as if he was doing something wrong.
"Anyway, it's good to be back." Geras said with a smile.
Kerry could feel Geras's sincerity. He looked into Geras's gray-green eyes and said, "Thank you, Dr. Geras."
Geras waved his hands: "Why thank me? I didn't do anything, but..."
Geras glanced at Lanrod and said, "Some people seem very worried."
"Geras."
Before Geras could finish his words, Lanrod came over.
Geras made a mouth-pull motion, indicating that he would not say any more.
"Carey, are you feeling unwell?" Lanrod's tone softened.
Kairui shook his head: "Your Highness, are you going on a mission?"
Lanrod lowered his eyes and said, "No... If you want to stay, I can arrange for you to stay in the First Legion's research department. After all, you have a talent for mechanical manufacturing."
Kerry was stunned, and he instantly understood what Lanrod meant.
"Your Highness, I am a military woman." Kerry looked at Lanrod and said, "You once said that it is a military woman's honor to go to the battlefield, and even death should not be feared."
Lanrod was stunned. He looked at the young black-haired female insect in front of him.
Yes, he once said that.
"Your Highness, as a military lady, I need to accumulate more military merits. Besides, I am not afraid of the battlefield." Kerry looked at Lanrod.
Kerry still remembers his purpose of wanting to enter the First Military Academy, which was to earn more military merits.
If he would have been a little hesitant and wavering when facing the battlefield a few years ago, he is now more determined.
"You once said that military women are protectors. We exist to protect them."
Carrie looked at Lanrod, at those eyes that were as clear and beautiful as glass, and at herself reflected in those clear eyes.
“…”
The faint light shone through the moving starship onto Lanrod's fair skin, covering the cold white color with a layer of soft light.
The beautiful silver hair dances like stars in the sky, complementing the long eyelashes and making the cold, snow-like face look softer.
Lanrod looked at Kerry: "Yes, I did."
Lanrod clearly remembered what he had said to Kerry. At that time, he thought Kerry was still a long way from being a qualified female soldier of the First Legion.
He has always had very high expectations for his subordinates. Once the standards are relaxed, it means there will be more risks on the battlefield.
Looking at the young black-haired female insect in front of him, Lanrod felt a little helpless for the first time.
He had never been so conflicted.
This was also the first time he wanted to protect someone so much. It had nothing to do with responsibility or obligation, it was just pure protection.
"If you insist, I respect your choice." Lanrod looked at Kerry and said.
Kerry curled his eyes and said, "Thank you, sir."
Looking at Kerry's crescent-shaped eyes, Lanrod felt his heartbeat quicken. He didn't know whether it was fear or joy.
"Okay, friends, let's get down to business first." Geras walked over with a medical kit.
"In addition to the blood test, there will be male insects to check your mental strength." Geras said as he opened the medical box.
The original notice was to have Carrie enter the deep-sea interrogation room for investigation, but Lanrod refused.
The final result reached by both parties was to send people to the First Legion for inspection.
The content of the inspection mainly revolves around whether Carrie has been infected by the alien beast. Once infected, it involves the safety red line. Regardless of whether the person is contaminated intentionally or not, the contaminated person will eventually escape the fate of alienation.
The military district had captured several traitors a year ago, and unsurprisingly, those traitors had merged with the genes of alien beasts.
The alien beast genes can stimulate the potential of the Zerg, allowing many Zerg to feel the power and control they have never experienced before.
"Is it really okay here?" Carrie asked, pursing her lips.
Kerry was not stupid. He remembered that the previous officer wanted to send him to the deep-sea interrogation room, but was stopped by His Highness Lanrod.
Later, several more groups of people came over and left after talking.
Kerry knew that Commander Lanrod was defending him, or rather protecting him.
Carrie knew about the deep-sea interrogation room, a place that military women feared.
Once you get in there, you're no longer you.
There, there are countless ways to torture you, from physical to mental, no one can endure it.
"It's okay, it'll be fine." Lanrod looked at Kairi, "I've hunted infected people before, they're different from you."
Those infected can be described as animalistic rather than human.
What is more obvious is that the mental fluctuations of the infected are not so smooth.
"Alright, let's get some blood drawn." Geras said, pulling out the tools. "This test is quick, and the results are available right away."
Carrie was suddenly stunned when she saw the blood collection device.
It suddenly occurred to him that this could also be used to detect blood relatives.
In the Zerg world, if they are biological parents, the DNA test similarity rate is close to 99%, and if they are brothers with the same father and mother, the DNA test similarity rate is close to 95%.
As for those without any relationship, the similarity will be below 2%.
"The results are in. I told you there's no way Kerry could be infected. Look, this is a clean sample." Geras snorted, "I'll send the report over right away."
Although Lanrod knew that Kerry did not meet any of the infection characteristics, he was still relieved when he heard the result.
"Wait for the next mental examination. I don't think there will be any problem." Geras put away the medical box.
Wait, Geras seemed to have thought of something again, and he opened Carrie's test results again.
"What's wrong?" Carrie asked.
Geras frowned: "It's definitely not infected, it's just..."
Why is Kerry's second indicator higher?
After reviewing Carrie's report again, Geras found no other abnormalities.
Forget it, it’s just a little higher, it won’t do any harm.
"It's okay, everything is fine." said Geras.
