Chapter 126 Chapter 126 (Update 1)

Ruan Shiqing was startled by the sudden appearance of the tentacle. Just as he was about to raise his hand to feel if there was another one, he saw another tentacle spontaneously drop down and lie in the palm of his hand.

The two tentacles are very similar to the ones on Ruan Jiao's forehead.

But Ruan Jiao may be a Zerg, but he is not. Having lived for more than 20 years, he has always firmly believed that he is an ordinary human being, whether in his original world or later on the planet B3024.

He never expected that after waking up in a completely unfamiliar place, he would have two more tentacles on his forehead and a different race.

This was even stranger than if he had traveled through time and space into a novel he had read.

The tentacles on his palms suddenly felt hot. Ruan Shiqing suddenly let go of his hands and slapped his cheeks vigorously, constantly reassuring himself that it was just a dream.

He was floating in the water, and all he could see was azure water. There was nothing else, and no boundaries in sight.

But not only did he not drown, he seemed to be able to breathe freely.

This is very illogical and can only be explained by dreams.

Ruan Shiqing rubbed his cheeks hard, telling himself that it was all a dream. He looked up at the rippling water above his head and tried to swim upstream - he had a vague and strange premonition in his heart that as long as he left this area of ​​water, he would be able to wake up.

His slender limbs swayed rhythmically, and Ruan Shiqing swam towards the surface of the water with all his strength.

Ruan Jiao will also sleep with his father tonight.

The cub's own little pillow is next to his father's big pillow, and he sleeps carefully next to his father.

Rong Heng and the other kids were not at home. 09 was recharging his energy and sleeping on the first floor. There was only him and his father on the second floor. The little kid seemed a little lonely and only felt safe when he was with his father.

The cub always sleeps in a proper manner. He sleeps on his side facing Ruan Shiqing, with one hand on his father's arm. The whiskers on his forehead rise and fall with his gentle breathing, and he looks very peaceful.

On the contrary, Ruan Shiqing, who was sleeping beside him, had shallow waves spreading around him, like ripples on the water, spreading to all directions.

The momentum is continuous and endless.

The increasingly violent mental fluctuations awakened the cub. Ruan Jiao woke up from his sleep, sat up abruptly and looked around, only to find that the unusual movement came from his side.

The ripple-like waves now come as powerful as the waves in the sea, surging and surging.

The cub opened his eyes wide in surprise and called "Dad" anxiously several times, but found that Ruan Shiqing was frowning in pain. He looked at the surveillance camera on the bedside and saw that the curve became ups and downs. In desperation, he knelt on the bed, bent down and put his forehead against it.

Softer waves were released, slowly blending into the surging waves, and the surging waves gradually became calm, as if soothing.

But he was just a young cub, and after a while he felt exhausted. The whiskers on his forehead were about to droop, but every time they were about to droop due to fatigue, another one would suddenly stand up and maintain a regular rhythm.

When Ruan Shiqing tried to swim upstream, he encountered obstacles.

The higher you go, the more turbid the water becomes.

Grayish-white flocs swam in the water, and as he approached, they spontaneously entangled him - the feeling of suffocation and fatigue became more intense.

He tried to get rid of the flocs, but the harder he struggled, the faster he lost strength, and his head became dizzy. In a trance, he seemed to hear the eardrum-piercing scream of the newborn insect again.

The struggle became increasingly sluggish.

After realizing his own powerlessness, Ruan Shiqing's heart sank, and he struggled again. While resisting the piercing screams, he swam upwards, shaking off the grayish-white flocs.

During the fierce struggle, the water became turbid.

Ruan Shiqing didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the water light above his head was brighter and seemed to be about to reach the surface.

There was more determination in his eyes, but his increasingly tired body and dizzy mind made his movements slower and slower. Just when he felt that he could not hold on any longer, a gentle force enveloped him again.

The water around him became clear again, and the grayish-white flocs were separated and could only float around, unable to get close to him.

Strength re-emerged in his limbs, Ruan Shiqing pulled himself together and ran towards the water...

The huge consumption made Ruan Jiao fall asleep tiredly with his forehead touching his father's.

The tensed body fell softly, and the cub tilted its head and slid to the side of Ruan Shiqing's neck. He vaguely seemed to remember that he had to help his father, and his body arched instinctively, but he was too tired to wake up. Finally, he lay on his father's chest, buried his head in his father's neck, and fell asleep.

…

The sleepy cub was awakened by the screams outside.

He staggered to his feet and rubbed his eyes. Before he could come to his senses, he heard 09 and the Xiong brothers talking about things like "What's going on with these vines?" and "How did they grow so big overnight?"

The cub shook his head vigorously and finally became a little more awake. Then he realized something was wrong. The bedroom seemed to be particularly dim today.

He subconsciously looked towards the window, and then his eyes widened in surprise - the bright floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom was now tightly blocked by the tangled falling star vines. Only scattered sunlight could squeeze in through the gaps between the branches and leaves, so that the bedroom was not completely dark.

The cub opened his mouth wide, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and rushed to the living room, only to find that the living room was also dark, with the windows tightly sealed with falling star vines.

Then suddenly remembering something, he rushed back to the bedroom to see his father.

The monitoring equipment at the bedside had returned to normal operation. Ruan Shiqing was lying comfortably on the bed, no longer frowning in pain, and looking calm.

The cub heaved a sigh of relief and was about to put on his shoes and go downstairs to call 09, but then he turned his head away in horror.

The dark red eyes were wide open, with the black pupil in the center forming a vertical line, staring at Ruan Shiqing motionlessly.

——He felt that his father seemed different from before.

Before the cub could figure out what was different, 09 had already rushed upstairs. Seeing that he and Ruan Shiqing were both fine, he was relieved and muttered in an exaggerated tone: "I don't know what happened, the Falling Star vines in the yard suddenly started to grow wildly..."

It is not entirely accurate to say that they are growing wildly. To be more precise, they are going through cycles of "growth-branching-fruiting-withering".

The falling star vines outside seemed to be experiencing the cycle of the four seasons. They grew from two or three meters high as landscape plants to five or six meters high. After their overly lush branches surrounded the entire building, they entered the fruit-bearing season.

The golden fruits of the falling star are heavy among the branches and leaves, like stars in the sky about to fall.

This unprecedented spectacle attracted many people to come and watch, and in a short while, the repair shop was surrounded by a crowd.

The reason for the abnormal growth of the Falling Star Vine is still unknown. 09 dare not deal with it rashly. He can only notify Galan and immediately go upstairs to look for Ruan Shiqing and Ruan Jiao.

"Mr. Garland will be here soon." 09 comforted the cub while skillfully checking the data from the monitoring equipment to confirm Ruan Shiqing's condition.

When he saw the changes in the data from the previous night, he looked at Ruan Jiao nervously: "Did anything unusual happen to you last night?"

Ruan Jiao then told him about the abnormal mental fluctuations last night.

"How could this happen?" 09 paced around the bedroom anxiously and checked Garland's coordinates again.

Mr. Garland won't be here for another ten minutes.

At this time, Ruan Jiao poked his arm again, frowned and looked puzzled: "Dad is different from before."

09 was stunned for a moment, then bent down and looked at Ruan Shiqing carefully.

The robot naturally didn't just rely on its eyes and memory to identify. It called up previous images of Ruan Shiqing for comparison and confirmed what the cub said - the gentleman's appearance was indeed different from before.

His stature grew taller, from 1.78 meters to 1.82 meters. His skin color was originally warm white, but now it was turning cool white. His facial features became more profound and mature, and the last bit of youthfulness had faded away. He now looked like a mature young man.

If you only look at his current appearance, he looks no different from a young man of 24 or 25 years old. You would never think that he has just reached adulthood.

09 squatted beside the bed with the cub in a daze.

I don't understand what's going on. The sleeping person's appearance changed overnight, but he is still the same person.

Garland hurried upstairs and saw a man, an adult and a child, squatting beside the bed, looking worried.

But judging from his expression, it didn't look like anything had happened to Ruan Shiqing.

"What's going on?" He put down the heavy box and methodically took out the instruments inside, preparing to examine Ruan Shiqing.

While waiting for the instrument to start, 09 compared Ruan Shiqing's previous and subsequent data to him.

"This situation has never happened before..." Garland frowned and searched through various cases in his memory for a while, but could not find any similar examples.

Finally, he could only say, "Let me measure my bone age first."

After saying that, he began to debug the instrument he brought. After a moment, he, 09, and Ruan Jiao all stared at the "25 years old" displayed on the instrument.

If he remembered correctly, Ruan Shiqing had just turned eighteen years old.

After a long silence, he took out a syringe and drew two tubes of blood: "I'll take the samples back for testing."

Afterwards, he instructed 09 and Ruan Jiao to take good care of Ruan Shiqing and notify him immediately if anything unusual happened, and then hurried back to the laboratory.

Before the "Orient" landed, Rong Heng couldn't wait to drive the shuttle and bring the cubs back first.

This support mission to the attacked planet took more than half a month.

The Zerg's attack was fierce, and during the battle Rong Heng had no time to think about anything else. But when it was time to return home, all the thoughts that had been suppressed before rushed up one after another.

He couldn't even wait for the Orient to land, so he took the cubs back home in the shuttle.

The shuttle stopped not far from the repair shop. Rong Heng and the three cubs jumped off the gangway one after another and were about to rush home, but then they found that the door was blocked.

The three layers inside and the three layers outside were filled with black heads.

Rong Heng frowned, wondering what these people were doing at the door of his house. He roughly pushed the crowd away and was about to call for help when he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

——The once exquisite three-story villa was nowhere to be seen, replaced by tangled fallen star vines.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince widened his eyes in disbelief. He had only been away for over half a month, how come his home was gone? ? ? ?
