Chapter 121 Chapter 121 (Update 1)

Rong Heng stayed beside the treatment cabin.

According to the data displayed on the virtual screen, Ruan Shiqing's vital signs were normal, except for a minor injury to his ear. With treatment in the treatment cabin, he recovered quickly.

But he showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing the cub lying on the side of the treatment cabin with red eyes, Rong Heng picked him up, not knowing whether he was comforting him or himself: "Don't worry, Dad will wake up soon."

An adult and a child stood guard at the side of the treatment cabin, and time passed by every second until cheers of victory were heard over the communication channel, but the unconscious person still hadn't woken up.

Fearing that it would affect the battle situation, Rong Heng did not mention Ruan Shiqing's injury when handing over the command. Others only thought that something went wrong with the Zerg in the laboratory, but they did not know that Ruan Shiqing was also injured.

Three hours have passed since the accident in the laboratory.

Rong Heng's heart sank a little bit. Listening to the chattering of the kids in the communication channel, he tightened his jaw to prevent his voice from revealing anything unusual. "Tow the battleship back and bring it back to planet B3024."

He still remembered that Ruan Shiqing was very interested in this black battleship.

There was a response from the communication channel, and the cubs jumped out of the fighter plane and stepped onto the hatch of the spaceship.

The battleship was previously bombed by fighter jets, and now it is riddled with holes. The metal plates of the internal hulls and bulkheads are flying, and it looks like a mess.

"After it's blown up like this, will dad still be able to use it after we drag it back?" Nota's combat boots stepped on the metal plate that seemed much more fragile, and he looked very worried.

She turned to look at He Li and said accusingly, "It's all your fault. I told you not to fire so hard."

He Li snorted and said unconvincedly: "How can we take it down so quickly without increasing the firepower?"

The two cubs walked forward noisily to check the condition of the other cabins. Fortunately, except for the parts that were severely damaged by the bombing, the other cabins were relatively intact. If they were handed over to their father, he should be able to repair it... right?

The two cubs looked at each other and felt a little guilty.

The soldiers who boarded the ship with them were escorting the prisoners who had been injected with relaxants. When they saw the two men coming back, they asked, "The stern of the spaceship is full of incubation devices, which store a large number of insect eggs. What should we do with them?"

Thinking of Sally with a bulging belly, Nota showed a disgusted expression and said, "Dispose of the eggs directly and don't damage the incubator." She thought her father might be helpful.

There were no other soldiers on the spaceship except for three anthropomorphic Zergs. There was only a whole ship of incubators and Zerg eggs. They took a look and were disgusted.

After counting the spoils and prisoners, they signaled to withdraw their troops.

The huge black battleship was dragged behind by the metal arm and returned to the B3024 star.

The captives were temporarily detained in a temporary cell in the bottom compartment. After reporting the battle situation, the cubs returned to their rooms to clean themselves before changing back into cub form and excitedly going to the laboratory to find their father.

They can't wait to show off to Daddy!

The three cubs met on their way to the lab and went together.

But when I arrived at the laboratory, I didn't see my father. Instead, Rong Heng and Ruan Jiao were guarding a treatment cabin, and Garland, Hector, and Mellor were also there.

The excited cubs looked hesitant. The little dragon cub stood on tiptoe and looked into the treatment cabin, but because he was not tall enough, he could not see the situation inside. He looked at everyone hesitantly: "Who is injured? Where is Dad?"

Garland looked at the bewildered cub, sighed softly, and walked over to pick him up: "Dad is just slightly injured, he will be well soon."

This was all he could do to comfort the cubs.

The little dragon cub was held in his arms, and only then did he see that the person lying in the treatment cabin was Ruan Shiqing. He quickly jumped out of Jia Lan's arms, climbed onto Rong Heng's legs, and then he saw his father up close.

Tears welled up in her big golden eyes, but she held them back.

The little fox and the little mermaid walked over silently, and when they saw the person lying quietly in the treatment cabin, they couldn't help but lower their heads and rub their eyes.

"How did Dad get hurt?" asked the little mermaid.

However, there was silence in the laboratory and no one could give him an answer.

Garland's words just now were not meant to deceive the cubs. After he came back, he checked Ruan Shiqing's body, but did not find any hidden injuries. He was just sleeping and unable to wake up.

The worst guess is that his spirit body was damaged, so he couldn't wake up. With the current medical technology of the Empire, it is still impossible to effectively treat the damaged spirit body. He once saw a person who had a serious head injury and whose vital signs were normal, but could never wake up again.

But this guess was too scary, so Garland kept it in his heart and didn't speak it out easily. He thought to himself, if he waited a little longer, maybe the person would wake up in two days.

Because Ruan Shiqing was injured and unconscious, the atmosphere on the spaceship was very depressed, and when they arrived at planet B3024, there was no joy of returning home after winning a battle.

Rong Heng personally carried Ruan Shiqing off the spaceship and sent him back to the bedroom of the repair shop.

Galan said that Ruan Shiqing is now in good health and no longer needs to stay in the treatment chamber. Being in a familiar environment may help him recover.

So Rong Heng took him home and put him on the big bed in the bedroom.

The bedroom was cleaned spotlessly by 09 in advance. It was no different from before they left, except that there was an additional vital signs monitor at the bedside.

Rong Heng, 09 and the other kids take turns to look after him, and they go and talk to him when they have nothing to do.

But after leaving the bedroom, everyone became much quieter.

Especially Rong Heng, after returning to the repair shop, he never went out again. He stayed in Ruan Shiqing's bedroom for a long time, watching him silently. He was afraid that staying in there for too long would disturb Ruan Shiqing's deep sleep, so he stood on the balcony of the living room for the rest of the time, staring at the sleeping person in the room through the bright French windows.

The cubs no longer maintained their cub form. After transforming into full human forms, they consciously took on all the tasks that were originally supposed to be completed by Rong Heng.

Rong Heng took all of this in his eyes but said nothing.

He spent five days to sort out his thoughts and force himself to cheer up. After that, he went to the prison on Planet B3024, where the three anthropomorphic Zerg captives were being held.

The cub who heard the news went with him.

The captives were injected with muscle relaxants and held in three cells. They were equipped with electronic handcuffs with automatic alarms on their arms and legs to prevent them from escaping.

Hector had already brought the case to trial once before, but the other party was too arrogant and didn't reveal anything.

Rong Heng walked into the cell with an expressionless face, but kept the cubs outside.

An hour later, he came out, still expressionless, except for the faint stain of blood on the handkerchief he used to wipe his hands. The cubs turned their heads to look at the captive in the cell, and found that he was paralyzed against the corner of the wall like a pool of rotten mud, with no visible wounds on the exposed skin.

Rong Heng has already walked to the next cell.

Two hours later, he came out of the third prisoner's cell, reeking of blood. Before the cell door could be closed, the prisoner rushed over, his arthropods flailing wildly, but he eventually fell to the ground without strength. He stared at Rong Heng with his scarlet eyes, wishing he could eat his flesh alive.

"The war has already begun. Even if you catch us, it will be too late."

Rong Heng was indifferent and kicked him back into the cell. Close the door.

Afterwards, the information collected was sorted out and sent to Garland.

These anthropomorphic insects really knew a lot of information. The most crucial information they revealed was that the larva that hurt Ruan Shiqing in the laboratory was a newborn queen insect.

It is said that this experiment was carried out secretly a long time ago. After the death of the last queen of insects, the remaining advanced insects tried to breed a new queen of insects.

The ten eggs in Sally's stomach were the most successful experimental subjects that were closest to the queen worm. As for the young queen worm that was born, it absorbed Sally and the other nine eggs. It was a complete accident under special circumstances, and the captives did not know much about it.

Rong Heng couldn't ask anything else and could only hope that Garland could find a breakthrough.

"Let's go." He never looked at the cubs from beginning to end.

However, Ruan Jiao, who was following beside him, grabbed the hem of his clothes.

After the catastrophe, the only remaining cub, which had not yet grown up, also became silent. After returning to Planet B3024, he never cried again, but whenever he had time, he would practice speaking hard, and now he speaks much more fluently than before. It's a pity that no one rubs his head and praises him with a smile anymore.

The cub lowered its tentacles and whispered, "I know that guy."

He had never seen the other person, but he recognized the other person's scent.

A long, long time ago, when he was still an egg, his companions disappeared one after another, and those who accompanied him later became those disgusting insects.

One of them was the captive.

At that time, he hated these insects and would not communicate with them, but these insects would poke him with their sharp needles. At first, they were very careful and this happened only occasionally. Later, it became more and more frequent and their movements became much rougher.

Ruan Jiao tried hard to recall what the other party had said at that time and repeated it. I heard him say: "The experiment is showing some signs of success."

The cub looked up at Rong Heng with a worried look, not knowing whether the information he recalled was helpful.

Rong Heng was thoughtful for a moment, then he raised his hand and rubbed the cub's head, smiling briefly: "I understand."

Ruan Jiao pursed his lips and gave him a small smile in return.

"You go home first, I'll go find Galan." Rong Heng looked at Ruan Yuebai, motioning him to take the cubs home.

Herri and Nota actually wanted to go and take a look. They roughly understood that Rong Heng was interrogating these Zerg in order to find clues to cure their father. Now that they saw that something had been obtained, they were a little impatient to know the result.

But seeing the deep wrinkles between Rong Heng's brows, the kids finally chose to be patient and followed Ruan Yuebai back home obediently.
