Chapter 127 Chapter 127 (2nd update)

The extremely angry Crown Prince pushed away all the onlookers and finally entered the yard.

In the front yard, the Xiong brothers were working with a service robot to clean up the fallen leaves that filled the yard. Because the starburst vines kept sprouting and withering, the entire yard was now covered with thick dead leaves. At first glance, it looked a bit like the tropical rain forest in the impact data that was retained earlier.

Rong Heng walked in on the thick fallen leaves, but did not bother to ask what was going on. He forcibly pushed open a gap in the tightly entangled vines and strode upstairs.

The three cubs followed behind him, all looking anxious.

Rong Heng's heart didn't settle until he saw the person he had been thinking about lying on the bed with a rosy face.

He slowed down his pace and walked to the bedside. He noticed the change in Ruan Shiqing at a glance: "What's going on?"

09 explained the situation roughly, but couldn't explain the reason: "It became like this overnight. Mr. Garland came to see it, and the cause is still being investigated."

Rong Heng subconsciously looked at Ruan Jiao. The cub shook his head listlessly, his antennae drooping, looking extremely sad.

Hearing that Ruan Shiqing was fine, Rong Heng's anxiety eased a little. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the unconscious young man, then said to the kid who was standing by the bed, "You stay here to look after Dad. I'll go check on Jia Lan."

Before leaving, he remembered something and picked up the drooping Ruan Jiao and said, "You can come with us."

Ruan Jiao lay in his arms, clutching the clothes on his chest, rubbing them carefully, with a dependent attitude.

Besides his father, the cub relies most on Snowball.

When they got out of the yard, he whispered, "Will Dad wake up?"

Rong Heng lowered his eyes to look at him, and easily saw the anxiety and restlessness in the cub's eyes.

Something happened to his father suddenly, and he was the only one left at home. The cub must have been scared at that time.

He smiled soothingly, rubbed the cub's head with his palm, and said firmly: "Daddy will definitely wake up."

Sitting on the shuttle, Rong Heng sped towards the arsenal.

Garland's laboratory was temporarily set up in the arsenal. Although it was hastily built, it was well equipped with instruments and equipment.

When Rong Heng arrived, he had already received the test results.

"You came at the right time. I found something." Garland looked a little solemn and motioned Rong Heng to look at the test results.

Rong Heng took it and read it, his brows furrowed. He glanced at the ignorant cub in his arms and shook his head subconsciously: "This is impossible."

But when I said it, I felt very unconfident.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, Garland conducted three tests in a row, and the results were the same all three times - Ruan Shiqing and Ruan Jiao were related, and the DNA sequence in his body had a very high degree of overlap with Ruan Jiao, much higher than the overlap of the previous Zerg.

But Ruan Jiao has a deep relationship with the Zerg, and may even be a more advanced Zerg after evolution. Those anthropomorphic Zergs are likely created by his genes. And although he does not have a bug form, some of his features still retain the characteristics of the Zerg. For example, the tentacles on his forehead, the red eyes similar to the compound eyes of the Zerg, the ability to influence or even control lower Zergs, etc.

But from beginning to end, Ruan Shiqing had no connection with the Zerg at all.

He grew up on the Garbage Planet and does not possess any Zerg characteristics nor any Zerg-related special abilities. If you ignore this test report, he is a complete ancient human.

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be related to the Zerg race.

Rong Heng's brows furrowed even more, and he looked down at Ruan Jiao. The cub's eyes widened, a little confused, as if he hadn't figured out what they were talking about.

Putting him on the chair, Rong Heng paced back and forth to organize his thoughts.

He thought of Ruan Jiao's origins again - when Ruan Shiqing picked up Ruan Jiao, he was not on B3024, but later he heard Ruan Shiqing mention that Ruan Jiao suddenly appeared at the door of the repair shop. Ruan Shiqing initially thought he was an abandoned cub, but seeing him guarding the door, he took him in and asked Xiong Fangfang and his brother to help find out if there were any families with lost cubs. But he was never found, so the matter was left unresolved.

But if Ruan Shiqing and Ruan Jiao were really related, then could it be that Ruan Jiao's appearance at the door of the repair shop was not a coincidence? Was he originally here to find Ruan Shiqing?

And in fact, there is a question they have never asked Ruan Jiao, which is where he came from and how he got to the B3024 star.

Rong Heng paused, squatted down in front of the cub, and kept his eyes level with him. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Did you come to Planet B3024 to find your father?"

The cub tilted his head, recalled carefully, then nodded vigorously, his mouth twitched, looking a little aggrieved: "I didn't know the way, and I looked for a long time."

Rong Heng and Jia Lan looked at each other and then asked, "Have you seen Dad before? Why did you want to find him? How did you get here alone?"

Ruan Jiao shook his head and frowned, "I don't know, it was inside the egg and floated over."

He made a circle with his hands and answered haltingly.

In fact, at that time he himself couldn't clearly explain why he was looking for it or what he was looking for.

He stayed in the egg for a long time, sleeping most of the time, and awake a little bit, able to sense the outside world. Later, the Zerg always stabbed him with needles, so he didn't even want to be awake for a little bit. Until one day, he suddenly sensed a very faint breath that made him want to get close to it. The unprecedented impulse made him break through the egg shell that imprisoned him and stumbled away.

He didn't know where the faint breath came from. He searched for a long time without any direction. Later, when he was extremely tired, he wrapped himself up like an egg and floated around based on his instinct.

Until the extremely strong breath made him wake up again. He followed the breath and met Ruan Shiqing.

Ruan Jiao's words indirectly verified the reliability of the report, but even he himself was not clear about the connection. Rong Heng stopped asking questions and asked Galan to continue the investigation before picking up the cub and returning home.

The kids were still on the second floor guarding Ruan Shiqing. 09 had already come down to clean up the fallen leaves with the Xiong brothers. Because the reason why the Falling Star vines were growing so wildly had not been found, they did not dare to deal with the vines rashly.

However, according to Ruan Jiao, they guessed that those crazy-growing Falling Star vines were most likely caused by Ruan Shiqing's loss of mental control.

With Ruan Jiao's ability, he could also enhance the vitality of the Falling Star Vine and promote its growth, but he could not create such a big commotion.

This again proves Ruan Shiqing's extraordinaryness.

This realization made Rong Heng feel a little worried, but when he thought that he now had a research direction that would allow him to go one step further in finding out the reason why Ruan Shiqing was in a coma, he gradually felt relieved.

Regardless of whether Ruan Shiqing is related to the Zerg, he will never change.

He went upstairs and checked on Ruan Shiqing again. Seeing that the data from the monitoring equipment were all stable, he took the cubs with him to clean up the wildly growing Fallen Star vines outside.

At this time, the Falling Star Vine had stopped growing and remained at the stage of bearing many fruits.

Everyone received a pruning tool and, under the direction of 09, they gradually trimmed the overly lush Falling Star vines into beautiful shapes.

By the time I had tidied up the house, it was already night.

The extremely tired cubs transformed into cub form and rested by the pool in the backyard, unwilling to move.

Trimming the vines into an artistic and ornamental shape according to 09's request is much more tiring than fighting against the insects. Not only is the body tired, but the mind is even more tired.

The little ones all lay with their bellies spread out, not even wanting to take a bath.

"Come and take a shower." Rong Heng brought a bath towel and shower gel from the bathroom and called the kids to come and take a shower.

The kids were lying there lazily, and no one was moving.

The veins on Rong Heng's forehead popped up. He picked up the nearest little dragon cub and placed him in a small tub filled with warm water. He squeezed some bath gel and rubbed it on his body, rubbing bubbles in an unskilled manner.

The little dragon cub whined as he rubbed it, complaining that his technique was not good enough.

Rong Heng sneered and pulled his tail angrily: "Then wash it yourself."

The little dragon lay motionless beside the bathtub, pretending not to hear.

Rong Heng rolled up his sleeves and washed the little dragon, then the little fox, and finally Ruan Jiao. Fortunately, the little mermaid was shy and had washed herself thoroughly, so Rong Heng didn't have to do anything.

After all the kids had been washed, Rong Heng placed them on the wide recliners before going upstairs to wash himself.

When he changed his clothes and came down, he found that the cubs had fallen asleep.

The three cubs huddled together on the lounge chair just like before. You pressed my tail and I rested my head on your belly. The little mermaid lay on the edge of the pool with her arms as a pillow, her eyes closed, and her blue tail swayed gently with the waves.

B3024 can't see the stars, but at this moment the falling star vines above the head are full of fruits. The golden fruits are hidden among the branches and leaves, illuminated by the lights at night, hanging above the head, like a galaxy of stars.

Rong Heng's expression softened. He bent down and picked up the cubs. He then woke up the little mermaid and let him sleep in the water.

This time, Rong Heng had only been on Planet B3024 for three days when he received another call from Lucien.

The last time Main Star was attacked by Zerg, the military was unable to send rescue troops in time due to mutual shirking of responsibility, resulting in heavy losses to Main Star. If Rong Heng had not brought people to provide timely support, Main Star might have followed in the footsteps of Fumu Star.

Therefore, after Mainin survived the crisis, its governor Zheng Zhong published a letter of thanks and a video of the battle with the Zerg on the planet's official website and holographic network.

The thank-you letter and video quickly attracted attention, and the Eastern Alliance and the "Eastern" once again entered the public eye.

Someone immediately dug out the video of the last time the Eastern Alliance used live broadcast to warn the public. At that time, most people thought they were scaremongering. It was not until the planet Lenka was attacked and destroyed by the Zerg that people realized the crisis. Now, when the Imperial Army was unable to provide timely support, the Eastern Alliance stepped forward and repelled the Zerg.

The reputation of the Eastern Alliance rose rapidly, and many people even began to imitate the members of the Eastern Alliance by wearing masks, sparking a mask fever.

Lucien contacted Rong Heng for this reason: "According to the latest news, His Majesty the Emperor has survived the crisis. It is said that he participated in the 'Sacred Transformation Plan'."

"What about the three people in power who were said to be injured?" Upon hearing the news, Rong Heng did not seem surprised, but just narrowed his eyes.

"After His Majesty the Emperor, they also participated in the 'Transformation Plan'. When you were supporting Mainin Star, they were undergoing surgery." Lucien said.

Rong Heng showed an expression of "as expected": "You said he participated in the 'transformation plan' because he was seriously injured and dying, or was he just using himself as bait to lure those three idiots into the trap?"

Lucien remained silent.

But Rong Heng obviously already had the answer and didn't need Lucien's answer. He changed the subject abruptly: "You contacted me suddenly, is there another planet being attacked?" He couldn't help but frowned: "The Zerg's actions are too frequent, they seem to be in a hurry?"

"That's right. Yesterday, Parker Star in the Ota Region asked the military for help." Lucien then said, "The current situation is turbulent and unclear. This is your chance."

Rong Heng said, "Hmm," and said, "Send me the coordinates. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after we kill all these annoying bugs."

The intelligent computer beeped and a coordinate was sent over.

He disconnected the call, straightened his hat brim, and went upstairs.

He had just come back and was about to leave again. He wanted to say goodbye to Ruan Shiqing.
