Too close.
The distance between the two was only as far as the corridor of the living room, and the door was not closed. Ying Xingjue had a high sense of perception, and he knew without even opening his eyes that Wei San was still awake.
Wei San leaned on the pillow, staring into the darkness with her eyes closed. After coming out of the confinement room, she had indeed not had that dream for a long time, but she often suffered from insomnia. It was just that she was staying up all night to build a mecha at Ying's house at that time, and she fell asleep because she was too tired, and no one else noticed anything unusual.
Now lying on the bed, she had deliberately slowed down her breathing, but Ying Xingjue in the other room still noticed that she was still awake.
After a long time, Ying Xingjue stood up. He was about to turn on the light, but his hand touched the lamp. Finally, he took it back, knelt down and sat on the bed, and asked Wei San across from him: "Can't sleep?"
"I'm not used to it after just coming back." Wei San made up an excuse casually, "You go to sleep first."
Ying Xingjue lay down again, but did not close his eyes. Instead, he used the optical computer to call Wei San's voice communication.
Wei San raised his eyebrows and clicked it. Before she said anything, she heard Ying Xingjue's voice coming from the optical computer. He was reading the materials in a low voice.
They were all the tortuous investigation materials that she didn't like. Wei San didn't like to use his brain except on mechas, especially when it came to various conspiracies and tricks. At this moment, Ying Xingjue was reading some messy materials of the Federation. No matter how nice his voice is, it sounds like chanting to Wei San.
Wei San: "..."
She was successfully persuaded to fall asleep by Ying Xingjue.
The next day, when Wei San woke up, he was awakened by the noise outside. The school should have started testing the cadets.
"In a few days, we will go to District 12." Ying Xingjue was already in the living room. He turned around and handed Wei San a glass of water, "Where do you want to go after that?"
"The military district in Nanpasi." Wei San took out two mecha necklaces, "The mechas of the Shan Gong brothers and sisters should be given to them."
Despite this, the communication with the Shan Gong brothers and sisters could not be reached in the past few days, but she contacted Yu Tianhe and said that they were fine.
Wei San didn't care about these. As long as she gave them the mecha, she would have fulfilled her original promise. But it was obvious that the independent army was still planning something.
"It has already started. I think everyone is very nervous." Jin Ke's voice came from outside the door.
Sure enough, the next second, their door was knocked. Ying Xingjue walked over to open the door and let the person at the door in.
Jin Ke saw Ying Xingjue at first glance, and through him she saw Wei San standing in the living room. She felt that it was strange for Ying Xingjue and Wei San to live together. They were not teammates, and he was the one who opened the door!
"Who is in charge of the school testing?" Wei San asked Jin Ke who came in, holding a cup.
"Teacher Jie, I can help after the teachers at school have finished testing." Jin Ke said, "Let's go have breakfast together, do you want to go?"
"Go, I'll change my clothes." Wei San turned and went back to his room.
...
The testing was carried out in an orderly manner, according to grade and class. Those who were tested were nervous, and the students who were waiting to be tested but still in class were also nervous.
Several people went to the cafeteria to eat. The noise inside was several degrees lower than usual. They knew whether they were infected or not, but they didn't know whether their classmates and friends around them were infected.
"You guys are going with us too? Why don't you stay in school to help?" Wei San asked Jin Ke and the others.
"Teacher Xiang said they have enough manpower, and Teacher Jie brought back a small team." Jin Ke pointed outside, "Teacher also hopes that we will go with you."
Ying Xingjue is from the Imperial Military Academy after all. Although the teacher is confident in his character, he still feels at ease if his own students go with him.
"I haven't been to District 12 yet." Liao Runing said, "I heard from Teacher Jie that when we go there, people from District 12 will come to pick us up."
Wei San nodded: "Teacher Jie had already told them in advance yesterday."
Six people sat at a dining table. Ying Chenghe sat next to Ying Xingjue. He was actively and enthusiastically introducing the special breakfast of the Damocles Military Academy cafeteria to his cousin: "This is white cake. When I first came here to eat, I was not used to it. It was hard and dry, but it tastes good when soaked in a bowl, and you can add side dishes."
Ying Xingjue pinched a white cake and looked at Wei San opposite her. She also held half a cake in her hand, and the other half was snatched away by Liao Runing next to her. His brows frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Wei San tore off a small piece and threw it into the bowl, then suddenly looked up and asked Ying Xingjue.
Ying Xingjue was startled and looked at her bowl: "Is this delicious?"
Wei San casually glanced at Ying Chenghe next to him: "Chenghe said so much just now, didn't you hear it?"
She pushed her already soaked bowl to Ying Xingjue and pulled his bowl over: "Try it now."
Liao Runing bit half a cake, and propped up his hand on the table with his hand on the side of Wei San. He lowered his head and quietly used the computer to pull Huo Xuanshan, Jin Ke and Ying Chenghe to send a message.
Master Liao: [What's going on? Wei San is not right! Is she so kind? Is there poison in the bowl?]
He snatched half of Wei San's white cake, and under the table, the back of his hand was slapped red. Now Wei San is so kind?
Liao Runing sent another message with a worried look on his face: [It would be bad if Ying Xingjue got into trouble here, and it was his cousin Chenghe.]
Master Chenghe: [Wei San is indeed not quite right, but my cousin is not right either, he actually ate it.]
Huo Xixi: [Eat quietly, don’t make trouble.]
Jin Jiafacai: […]
After a breakfast, everyone had their own agenda, and after finally finishing it, Wei San’s computer suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, and Wei San had a premonition as soon as she saw it. She got up and walked to the corner, pressed the privacy button, and answered it again.
——It was indeed Ying Youjin.
"Long time no see, you look good." The man in the light curtain did not look much different from what he had seen before, but Wei San could keenly feel that his vitality was fading.
"What's the matter?" Wei San asked.
"Xing Jue is by your side." Ying Youjin couldn't see Wei San, so he just smiled gently, "I didn't want to drag him into this, and as for you, it's too risky to be an infected person. Now... I need your help."
Wei San waited quietly for him to continue.
"I heard that you have already made a super 3s-class mecha for Xing Jue." Ying Youjin covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then calmed down, with only his ears still red from the violent coughing, "Yongnan said that you are very good at mechas. You have been in the Ying family for so many days, and the super 3s mecha we want should also be ready."
"Didn't Master Yu contact you?" Wei San asked.
"We haven't communicated these days." Ying Youjin thought for a moment and asked, "So the mecha is ready?"
Wei San nodded.
"Very good." Ying Youjin was distracted for a moment, and then said, "During this period, the Independence Army finally tracked down a mecha master, Aful. This person is an insider of the Independence Army. Generations have known about the black insect mist. He should be the one left by Senior Ji Ci to secretly accumulate power. But they went astray and used the black insect mist to do some experiments, causing people to go crazy and bloodthirsty. Not long ago, I learned from him that the black insect mist has a source, but only Super 3s can remove it."
"Source?" Wei San frowned, the answer in his mind was about to come out, "Where?"
Ying Youjin shook his head: "Aful doesn't know either, I think it is very likely on the Fantasy Night Star, where the star beasts are the strongest, and it is also the first place where the star beast tide broke out, and now it has even begun to evolve. In addition, I learned that the black insect mist that Xing Jue wore on his waist before the competition was taken from the Fantasy Night Star."
"You need to ask him about this." Wei San turned around and called Ying Xing Jue, asking him to come over and close the privacy.
After hearing this, Ying Xingjue said in a low voice: "Black insect fog did appear on Fantasy Night Star, and I had already gotten rid of it by then."
"If it is the source, there may be more." Ying Youjin said, "Shan Gong brothers and sisters have already rushed to Fantasy Night Star, and I hope you can go there too. Aful or Senior Ji Ci believes that the black insect fog will enter a breeding period within a certain period of time. By then, the black fog will cover the sky, and the Federation will be completely hopeless."
Wei San: "It may also be on Fanhan Star."
Ying Youjin was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
"I had a dream about the ash cocoon before." Wei San said, "I think it may be in the extremely cold arena."
"...You go to Fantasy Night Star first, I'll go to the Extreme Cold Arena." Ying Youjin said without hesitation, "I'm on Fanhan Star now."
Ying Xingjue stood by and looked at Ying Youjin in the light curtain. He had never seen this uncle in reality.
"It seems that the matter of the detection equipment will be delayed." Wei San turned his head and looked at Ying Xingjue.
...
Compared to detecting infected people, the possible existence of the 'reproduction period' is more important.
That day, several people packed their luggage, informed the teacher, and flew directly to Fantasy Night Star.
On the starship, Ying Xingjue contacted Ying Yuerong and told them about this, asking them to be vigilant.
"There is black insect fog under the cliff?" Ying Yuerong was shocked for a while before reacting, "You...why didn't you say it at the time?"
"At that time, I didn't know whether my perception was out of control and I had hallucinations." Ying Xingjue explained.
When talking about this, Ying Yuerong's eyes flashed with shame: "We misunderstood before."
"You didn't know about the black insect fog either." Ying Xingjue said, "We will be able to reach Fantasy Night Star in four days."
Ying Yuerong nodded and suddenly asked, "Is Wei San with you?"
She saw Ying Xingjue tilt his head to the right and glanced. It was obvious that Wei San was there. Ying Yuerong felt relieved for some reason.
"If the source is on Fantasy Night Star, all of you must retreat. Only Super 3s level can be inside." Ying Xingjue warned in advance.
After the communication was hung up, Ying Xingjue walked to Wei San's side. She was drawing on the paper, drawing and erasing various structures, and was obviously not satisfied. He asked, "What kind of mecha are you going to build and design?"
Wei San had never been so irritable when she built the Super 3s level mecha.
"There are only five people in the entire Federation who are above level 3s." Wei San frowned, "If there is really a so-called source of black insect mist, five people may not be enough."
Ying Xingjue thought about it and understood Wei San's plan: "You want to build a mecha that spans beyond level 3s?"
"Since A-level to S-level is possible, level 3s to beyond level 3s is also possible." Wei San affirmed, "It just requires a special structure."
She thought of Yu Tianhe's method, using the black insect mist, and even contacted Yu Tianhe, but after understanding it, she decided to give up.
First of all, the cross-level mecha designed by Yu Tianhe is inferior in strength, and secondly, there is a high probability that the individual soldier's perception will be damaged. Wei San does not want this kind of mecha.
But until she arrived at the stopover planet near the Phantom Night Star, she still hadn't figured out a way to design this mecha, and she always felt that something was missing. The Yamiya brothers and sisters also arrived at the stopover planet at about the same time, and the two sides finally met again.
