Chapter 93
“Wow, w ...
After rewatching "The Final Shooting" many times, Xia Liu started to follow Chu Zhao's videos and updates like other old fans on his personal website, and also followed the live broadcast of the court's liquidation.
Unexpectedly, while we were waiting for the meeting to be held today, Chu Zhao suddenly came up and started a live broadcast. After chatting with fans about Ying Pei and Wei Heng, he even turned to Shuhang in the middle.
Then she cleared her throat mysteriously and said she had a secret to tell them. And that was it.
For some reason, Jingwei's electronic eye connected to the window of Dada's live broadcast room, and then broadcasted the latter part of the confession to them! Now the electronic eye has disconnected from the live broadcast room and everyone is crying like crazy.
It made Xia Liu, who felt it was so sweet, feel like crying.
"It's just like we accompanied them for a while." He felt particularly sad about the unexpected and helpless nature of the descent of the gods, and was so moved by their hard-earned perfection that he wanted to cry.
Zhu Sui was already used to it, so he silently handed over the tissue. But then he remembered that this was holographic communication, so he couldn't hand it over, so he gave up.
Xia Liu's emotions came and went quickly. When Zhu Sui was distracted by the news from the Academy of Sciences and the comments in the live broadcast room, she had already leaned over and asked with a sniffle:
"So what did you plan to say?"
Zhu Sui silently made way, and Xia Liu poked her again, though she couldn't reach her: "Did you see that?"
Zhu Sui indicated: "I guess it should be Su Xing's business."
After spending so much time with Xia Liu, she got used to it. She was used to calling the marshals and chiefs of staff by their CP names. "When the meeting announcement was released a few hours ago, someone said that Chief of Staff Zhou didn't allow Chief of Staff Sheng to come again."
Xia Liu looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room.
Sure enough, not long after the live broadcast returned to normal, some people were already talking about the incident that had caused such a stir outside:
[Many people say that Chief of Staff Zhou just wants to suppress Chief of Staff Sheng==]
[She also said that not wanting to be a marshal does not mean that she is optimistic about Chief of Staff Sheng, and that the video was released because Chief of Staff Sheng saw the benefits of the CP and wanted to deliberately use Ying Pei as the second to create momentum and hype up this CP in order to cover up the fact that she did not get to this position through normal means.]
[Before watching the news, I wondered who would be so brainless to be led astray. After watching the news, I really feel that the court is not the most hateful. The most hateful are these conspirators who are unwilling to open their eyes and see what the facts are! ]
One moment they said that Chief of Staff Zhou wanted to be a marshal himself, the next moment they said that the video was released by Chief of Staff Sheng in order to cover up his disagreement with Chief of Staff Zhou.
In their hearts, it is impossible that what they do is for each other's good and they love each other, right?
When Chu Zhao saw these comments, he also wanted to sigh.
In her opinion, Shu Xing and Ying Pei Weiheng were both the same in their descent to the gods. At first glance, they were the kind of heaven-chosen CP compatibility that was very easy to match. How could anyone not be able to match them?
But Chu Zhao has been itching to create a video for Su Xing since she found out about the Semel Military Academy. She started the live broadcast now because the video is almost finished, but she can’t finish it in one video, so she wanted to chat with her fans.
Now that the fans on the other side are jumping so high, wouldn’t it be an admission of defeat if she doesn’t release the video?
However, Chu Zhao thought about it and decided to change his method. He opened his video file live and said, "Actually, I went back and watched it later, and I think what they said is very right."
Wash powder: [? ]
Chu Zhao prepared the program and then smiled: "Chief of Staff Zhou may not necessarily like Chief of Staff Sheng Shu. It is also possible that he has watched him grow up, so he pays more attention and care to him than others. How can we simply say that they like each other and wish them a happy marriage?"
Some sensitive fans have already smelled the scent of be. But Chu Zhao in the video still squinted:
"Maybe at the beginning, it was just one person's wishful thinking."
Wishful thinking. The video is called "Wishful Thinking".
The Northern Territory is close to the Aurora Galaxy and has no shortage of lighting and operating energy all year round. However, due to the rugged terrain and sparse population, and the fact that the galaxy is often deviated by extreme cold storms, the buildings built are all light and simple cold iron buildings.
These irons were hidden in the ice and snow of the mountains, and their main function was to support and expand. This also made the military headquarters here look like a palace carved out of a glacier.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the military headquarters was even quieter than outside.
Zhou Xingjian took off his cloak and asked, "Where is Chief of Staff Sheng?"
The adjutant still didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand to invite him in. The other personal soldiers wanted to follow, but were stopped silently by the young adjutant.
You Yu had a very bad impression of Chief of Staff Sheng's style of doing things. Zhou Xingjian's adjutant lowered his voice and said, "Marshal."
"The military situation is urgent now. If you go in alone, I'm afraid no one can protect you."
"The Chief of Staff will not harm the Right Chief of Staff." Sheng Shu's adjutant finally spoke, stiffly and rigidly, and his taut jaw could be seen when he turned his face away: "The Right Chief of Staff, please go in quickly."
Zhou Xingjian paused, turned his head to signal his adjutant to step back, then raised his hand, and his cloak was lifted up. The moment the mechanical door opened a crack, a few words fell out from it like building blocks.
【Chief of Staff Zuo is dying.】
.
Perhaps no one thought this would be a difficult battle. The Zerg were banned by the Liquidation Council, and since there were fewer battles in the North, all they had to do was to clear some frozen dead Zerg eggs buried under the ice and mountains in addition to daily maintenance work.
This was to prevent future disasters, but it was not a serious matter in itself. In contrast, the occurrence of a small wave of residual Zerg in the right domain seemed to be more noteworthy.
Therefore, Zhou Xingjian's subordinates were quite dissatisfied with Sheng Shu for inviting Zhou Xingjian to Zuoyu for a chat at this time, and even suspected that Sheng Shu was trying to steal the credit.
From the perspective of priorities, the merit of cleaning up the insect eggs is naturally far less than that of driving away the last batch of Zerg.
But they didn't expect that she was entrusted with the care of an orphan.
After Zhou Xingjian came in, the camera no longer focused on his face, but moved to his lower body, or to Sheng Shu, who he was facing.
She is not weak. On the contrary, she is very strong both mentally and physically. Under the teaching of Chief of Staff Yan Xun, who is famous for his unpredictable tactics, her strength seems even more unfathomable.
Naturally, You Yu was willing to hold her breath and call Zuo Chief of Staff because she had secured this position with her own merits. But he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
For a moment, he didn't move.
But death is not just the death of the body.
Sheng Shu was in good spirits, wearing a military jacket, leaning on the handrail supported by complex machinery, and slowly turned around to look at her. If her mental strength was not so weak that he could not feel it, Zhou Xingjian could not even see that she was in danger of death.
"Chief of Staff Zhou."
There was only one young therapist left in the room. Zhou Xingjian recognized her. When her teacher died, her teacher was the therapist who treated her teacher. And she was obviously Sheng Shu's confidant. In this confidential room, she held the report with her knuckles turning white.
She didn't quit. Her situation had reached the point where she might leave at any time if no one was watching her.
Sheng Shu said this slowly, and then she couldn't stand up. A mechanical arm came out from underneath and supported her at the same time: "I have something to ask of you."
When many viewers watched Ying Pei, they always felt that the most heartbreaking moment was when Marshal Pei Shiyun bid farewell to Marshal Ying Ying, and then learned the news of her sacrifice thousands of light years away.
Actually, it wasn't. The most painful thing was the moment when he watched her breathe in front of him, but slowly lost her breath.
But she was still alive. Her breathing was weak and her eyes were calm. But he knew clearly that she would not stay for much longer.
He even forgot to step out when the mechanical door opened in front of him.
In fact, she could still hold on when she invited him. The transmission of information at the level of Chief of Staff is extremely urgent even in peacetime. Not to mention Sheng Shu, who would look at the next ten steps before taking one step.
She had left him enough time to get here, and he didn't waste a moment and accelerated his warp over.
However, no one told him that this was what she wanted to entrust to him before she died. No one told him that because of their distant and cold relationship, this piece of news, which should have been the highest priority, had been passed around and considered.
When it was finally handed to him, it was too late.
The big words appeared again. Zhou Xingjian was silent, but he seemed to be gritting his teeth. Every word seemed to want to drill out of his throat and pierce his heart. [Why did you notify me now?]
"The Chief of Staff informed you early in the morning."
Sheng Shu's adjutant stared at him with red eyes. "She told you there was something urgent that needed to be discussed, but you never agreed once."
The Chief of Staff of the First Domain was seriously ill. Something that could shake the originally stable situation of the Nebula in an instant could not be passed on online. She wanted to tell him in person before her condition worsened.
But how did he know that this was a request for help? He just thought that she had not given up. Or maybe she was using this as an excuse to reconcile the Left and Right Domains. But now was not the time.
He has been in office for so many years, so of course he knows better than her.
But he didn't expect that she wanted to ask him to take over the matter of Zuoyu. Of course, he didn't expect that if he refused, she would not force him.
[After all, it was common knowledge that he hated her.]
Zhou Xingjian stepped out mechanically. The scene of their conversation began to scroll around him.
She smiled faintly, because while she was sick, she came into contact with high-level psychics with strong mental powers - people with weak mental powers would naturally resist - and her face finally turned a little pale.
Even in his military uniform he looked thin: "Even I sometimes thought I was unwilling to give up. Chief of Staff Zhou can't be blamed."
She couldn't say much, and the healer held her down. He just looked at her and said softly, "It's urgent to eliminate the Zerg. There are a large number of new Zerg eggs. They are no longer in the form of Zerg, but in the form of parasitizing and sacrificing soldiers."
There was even white mist around her when she spoke. High-level psychics who had evolved their psychic powers were not afraid of the cold. But it was so hot in here that his eyes were burning, so she was still afraid of the cold.
"I'm afraid I don't have time to deal with it. This is the first thing I want to ask Chief of Staff Zhou."
As the last words fell, Zhou Xingjian walked to the huge garrison inspection area and saw that in the large mountain basin surrounded by them, there were indeed many curled up bodies of the sacrificed soldiers.
That's a sign of being parasitized.
Zhou Xingjian curled his fingers and clenched them tightly, so tightly that they even turned blue.
He turned sideways without showing his face, and his voice was frighteningly tense: "Call the soldiers and civilians whose relatives and friends are still missing, and claim them according to their place of origin, name, and mental attributes. The time limit is three." When he said this, his voice suddenly trembled.
"Three days." He seemed to grit his teeth for a moment, but he still carried out the order: "Those who claim the property should keep the traces properly, and then burn the rest that no one claims."
The troops moved.
Zhou Xingjian was still moving among the troops.
"The situation in the Left Domain is complicated, with many intertwined forces. I'm afraid Lian Qiao won't be able to ascend to my current position smoothly. So before Lian Qiao gains enough support, I hope Chief of Staff Zhou can show up and suppress the thoughts of those who are ready to make a move."
Above the dark mass of left domain troops, the elite soldiers and warships of the right domain were like a sharp sword, piercing the sunlight, and together with the renowned Chief of Staff Zhou, they gave them a great shock.
Zhou Xingjian just took a look and turned around quickly.
“That’s the second thing.”
As he walked quickly, the scene changed to the last few minutes of their conversation.
"The last thing is something I would like to ask Chief of Staff Zhou to do for me."
The camera focused on Zhou Xingjian's hands hanging at his side. His fingers, which had been clenched until they turned blue, were clenched tightly at this moment.
The young therapist did not leave, but helped her sit down and gave her a mental sedative. Zhou Xingjian certainly recognized this medicine, because his teacher was destroyed because of this medicine many years ago.
Because this is a medicine that inhibits Zerg parasites.
Sheng Shu leaned against the mechanical wall, slowly closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them in the sunlight. There was a lot of snow in the northern region, and the snow reflected the sunlight, which looked more like golden light. This picture had a sacred feeling of descending from heaven.
Sheng Shu's face was almost transparent under the light. She opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Although I have always said that I want to be buried next to my teacher and senior brothers, but..."
She was unable to breathe for a moment, but the therapist skillfully helped her to breathe and she calmed down. Zhou Xingjian finally arrived in front of her.
"But I still hope to be buried on Snow Dragon Mountain after I die."
Zhou Xingjian's breathing paused.
Sheng Shu said calmly: "Just keep looking here."
[Snow Dragon Mountain is the only mountain in the Left Domain. You can never see the mountains in the Right Domain.]
They said that when she placed the military command center here, she wanted to show that she would never cooperate with the Right Domain and would not be spied on by the Right Domain. They also said that this was the result of Zhou Xingjian's disgust with Sheng Shu's lingering ghost forcing her to do so.
Because there are no extreme cold storms in other mountains. As long as you fly high enough, you can see the left area. But she finally chose this place.
Zhou Xingjian felt a similar suffocation. It was like his throat was instantly strangled when he knew she was dying. She refused to go back, refused to see him again, refused to see the Right Domain related to him, just like he had only seen her once before she died, which made Zhou Xingjian almost crazy.
But in the end, he just froze there, unable to move.
Sheng Shu waited quietly. She really couldn't hold on any longer, her mental power was crushed by him, but this was because the Zerg was parasitic in her body, and if she used her mental power, it would catalyze its hatching.
So she had to die, just like her teacher who had not been defeated but could not allow the high-level Zerg to revive in his body and ended his own life on his own initiative.
They are high-level psychics. The Zerg that hatch will bring disaster to everyone.
Light poured in. She tilted her head slightly. Her eyes were almost unchanged from the past, and her tone was exactly the same as before. She looked at him: "Chief of Staff Zhou."
He thought she would call him senior brother.
The fact is. She could decisively give up herself and support Lian Qiao after she found out that she was parasitized, and she also came to me and entrusted everything to him. She gave him the greatest trust.
But at the end of her life, she neither let him stay here any longer, but gave him three things to do that he had to leave here immediately to complete, and she also forced him to leave her place and not let him see her again.
Snow Dragon Mountain. The Right Domain was out of sight. Of course, he couldn't see Snow Dragon Mountain either. And he briefly took over the Left Domain after her death. For the sake of avoiding suspicion that he had insisted on all his life, of course, he would not be able to set foot in the Left Domain again for the next ten, twenty, or thirty years.
He couldn't see her again even if she died.
Is she taking revenge on herself or on him?
Or maybe she just understood too well. He really didn't like her, so she gave him such a big trouble to take care of Zuo Yu. Of course, she had to return the favor and stay away from him.
Then there will be no quarrels. Then there will be no disputes.
Zhou Xingjian was busy day and night. It was impossible to complete the task of claiming the parasitic soldiers within three days, but he could compress the second task into the shortest time possible so that he could see her before she died. But he was so busy that the camera showed him walking in a hurry. Countless generals from the left domain came to see him and stopped him.
He was late as always, and he pushed the door open at her last moment of consciousness. There was no daylight on Snow Dragon Mountain. It was dusk.
The last evening of her life.
Before he could tell her that he had already taken care of everything and the eggs would be incinerated tomorrow, and before he could show her that her subordinates were very capable and acted in a strict manner that convinced the people, she leaned against the edge of the treatment cabin.
The eggs were almost transparent. They were about to hatch. Even the most powerful mental tranquilizer could only delay it until this time.
He helped her sit up, and Sheng Shu didn't take her hand away. But she didn't lean on him either. They were just like they had many times before, sitting side by side, but dreaming different dreams.
Sheng Shu asked him: "Do you still remember the classmate I pushed down?"
Some eggs only need one month to hatch. Some need decades. It all depends on the strength of the spirit. If the spirit is strong, the hatching will be fast. If the spirit is weak, the hatching will be slow.
Zhou Xingjian's fingers began to tremble.
Sheng Shu closed his eyes and said softly, "If I had known then, I would have been parasitized. Perhaps."
Her voice was very soft. So soft that no one outside the video could hear it. But there were very small words falling.
【Maybe I won’t deliberately annoy you. 】
Maybe I wouldn't mess with you.
I will be obedient, well-behaved, and submissive. Be an ordinary person, or even if I like you, I will suppress my thoughts. Maybe if I don't join the army, if I don't become a psychic, my eggs won't hatch so quickly.
In fact, the most important thing is.
I wouldn't have caused you to hate me and refuse to acknowledge me until now.
In fact, when the light dimmed, Zhou Xingjian was also thinking, if he didn't force her to study with Yan Xun, if he saw her talent, his requirements for her would be just that of an ordinary person.
Then maybe she wouldn't have exploded with SSS-level mental power. Then she wouldn't have died.
But she died.
When the last ray of light in the sky was swallowed by the tall Snow Dragon Mountain, she gently leaned in his arms, just like the many times when he picked her up after she fell asleep due to being punished or training.
In fact, they were not that far apart in age. In fact, he had practiced many of the exercises he taught her when he was in military school. What she learned in the training cabin was all recorded by him in advance.
In fact, he would secretly examine her body. He would go to the Semel Military Academy to see how the cadets studied and then come back to teach her. He had never taught such a stubborn junior sister.
I don't know how to let her grow up if she can't enter the military school. But she is so obedient and smart. After she stopped being rebellious, she would report her grades to him almost every week.
He knew she was excellent. He was afraid that she would be proud, so he always told her not to be complacent. In fact, he should have said that. She was his only junior sister. And also the most powerful junior sister.
Actually, he should have said it.
You should not stay in Xuelong Mountain.
You have gone so far. Where should I go to find you in the future?
You left so fast that I didn't have time to tell you.
I thought you would have a very long life. I thought you would have a very good future. That’s why I told you. It doesn’t matter whether you like me or not, or whether I am your senior brother or not.
I don't hate you at all.
If I hate you.
I wouldn't have pretended not to hear you say you wanted to choose a place beside me when you were enlisting in the army and choosing a mechanical tombstone. I thought about that. I thought that after I died, we could be buried together. I don't have to be your lover, senior brother, relative or friend.
But I will be an insignificant person beside the tomb of the youngest and most legendary marshal in history. Why don't you want me to be this insignificant person?
Why did you go so far away? So far that I can no longer see you when I turn around.
[He buried her on the top of Snow Dragon Mountain. When the extreme cold storm swept over the peak of Snow Dragon Mountain, he looked up at the mourning troops above. The fleet was actually very vast, blocking out the sun. But on Snow Dragon Mountain, it was not visible at all.]
【Zhou Xingjian thought. This is also good.】
[I didn't meet you when I should have, and I didn't tell you that my senior brother liked you, too. He deserved not to see you for more than ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime. But he thought that even if he died, he couldn't be buried in the Snow Dragon Mountain.]
[It was well known that Zhou Xingjian hated Sheng Su. They certainly would not allow someone who hated their chief of staff to be buried next to her.]
After a long time, the words slowly appeared.
[But he was still buried on the top of an unnamed mountain at the edge of the Left Domain. She looked at Snow Dragon Mountain. He looked at her.]
Even if I can never see her.
