Chapter 128 Chapter 128

Before leaving, Rong Heng personally washed Ruan Shiqing's body and changed him into clean clothes.

These are usually done by 09, but if he is at home, he will do it himself.

Compared to before, the young man's body became more slender and supple, and his skin became whiter and more delicate. Once he set his eyes on him, he couldn't bear to look away. Even though he knew that the other person was asleep and had no idea of ​​the outside world, Rong Heng still turned his eyes away with red ears.

This job is both sweet and torturous for him. It often takes him a long time to calm down his surging emotions afterwards, but he still enjoys doing it.

After blowing dry and combing her hair, Rong Heng carried his beloved, who was wearing soft pajamas, back to bed and thoughtfully adjusted the angle of her pillow.

"I'm leaving now."

When he was about to leave, he hesitated for a moment, took out the medal hidden in his trouser pocket, and pressed it under the young man's pillow. It was a metal medal he had carved himself, bronze in color, in the shape of a five-pointed star, with the initials of Mainin Star and the Jewish emblem engraved on it.

He carved this on his way back when he was missing Ruan Shiqing.

In the past, no matter what difficulties and obstacles they faced, they always fought side by side. But this time, Ruan Shiqing was absent. He always wanted to do something to keep these days, so that when Ruan Shiqing woke up, he could tell him that although he was unable to participate in these battles, they did not leave him behind.

Finally he carved a medal.

It is engraved with the glory of victory, as well as his unexpressible thoughts.

"Wait for me to come back." He leaned over as usual and gave her a light kiss.

But this time it was not on the corner of her mouth, but right on her lips. He was not good at kissing, and was a little shy, so he rubbed her twice, kissed her soft lips, and then left with red ears, like a thief.

The war with the Zerg is far more difficult and long-lasting than imagined.

More and more planets were attacked by Zerg, but the Empire turned a blind eye to it, as if it would sit back and do nothing as long as the Zerg did not attack Sikkim. After Si Yan recovered from his injuries and appeared in public again, he completely took off his hypocritical mask and, with the support of the four major tycoons, concentrated all his forces on the Sjaran Planet, vowing to completely capture the Melches Region and conquer the Sjaran Planet.

Naturally, the Sijialan planet was unwilling to passively take a beating, so it joined forces with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan of Tutar planet, and successively dragged many surrounding planets into the water, making the situation even more muddy.

The peace of the past was completely broken. Except for the Central Region, the rest of the planets under the jurisdiction of the major administrative regions were in dire straits. There was the threat of the Zerg outside and the forced conscription inside. The war cast a shadow on everyone's heart, and the protests on the holographic network became more and more intense day by day.

The online protests eventually turned into real-life demonstrations.

Many ordinary people united together, listing the crimes of the Siyan government, accusing the government and the military of various inactions, and demanding the emperor to abdicate; some people began to organize their own forces, attempting to form a new government and armed themselves to save themselves...

Various organizations and churches also emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, and began to absorb angry or desperate civilians to strengthen their own strength.

Among them, the Holy Legion developed the fastest. They slandered the Empire, incited racial and class conflicts, and deceived many dissatisfied civilians to join the Holy Legion. They also preached the doctrine that "the Creator controls everything, and all races that are not illuminated by the light of God will perish", claiming that only by accepting the guidance of the Creator and establishing the Holy Empire can we survive the Dark Age, stay away from suffering, and be saved.

On the way to interstellar rescue, Rong Heng would occasionally pay attention to the news on the holographic network and pay attention to the situation of the empire. But most of the time, he was busy fighting the Zerg.

The front-line defenses were completely useless, and the Zerg came and went in the Imperial Star Region as if they were in an empty space. It seemed that they had tasted the sweetness of the previous attacks, and they no longer attacked on a single front, but fought on multiple fronts.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the rescue, Rong Heng no longer led the cubs personally every time. He dispersed the cubs. At the beginning, he let them follow Hector or several captains. Later, when there was a shortage of manpower, he let the cubs with more experience lead the rescue alone.

In the rear, at the arsenal on the B3024 star and the military base on the neighboring nameless star, workers, robots and production equipment worked day and night to produce battleships and batches of weapons and ammunition to ensure rescue.

After the military base was fully operational, antimatter warships and weapons were produced one after another, greatly improving the efficiency of rescue and combat operations and greatly reducing casualties.

But even so, the rescue work is still struggling.

In order to ease the rescue pressure on planet B3024, Rong Heng proposed to no longer provide free rescue. From now on, every time a planet is rescued, an agreement will be reached with the rescued planet to allow it to join the Eastern Alliance and promise that if other nearby planets are attacked by Zerg in the future, these planets that have received rescue will be obligated to provide rescue to the attacked planets.

He not only wanted to protect these planets from the Zerg, but also wanted them to be able to protect themselves. After all, the power of a single planet is limited, but if these planets can unite and help each other, they will not be without a chance of winning against the Zerg.

Originally, this task should have been done by the imperial government, but Si Yan was focused on the civil war, so Rong Heng took on the responsibility of rebuilding the defense line.

At first, only a few planets were willing to join. Later, as the Eastern Alliance's reputation as invincible against the Zerg became more and more famous, more and more planets were willing to join the rescue alliance. Even some small planets that were remote and not powerful enough took the initiative to apply to join.

Rong Heng accepted all the gifts. Afterwards, he established a huge star network with B3024 as the center, and the AI ​​that managed and monitored this star network was the highly authorized Noah.

All planets that have joined the Eastern Alliance will immediately report their coordinates once they discover traces of the Zerg. Nearby planets will take the initiative to send reinforcements, and the "Eastern" on standby on planet B3024 will arrive in the shortest time possible to assist them in exterminating the Zerg.

However, in just half a year, one-fifth of the empire's planets joined the Eastern Alliance. Relying on these planets, Rong Heng initially established a new line of defense within the empire's territory.

He could no longer remember how many planets he had rescued. He only knew that the glass jar at the head of Ruan Shiqing's bed, which he had carved with his own hands, was almost full.

Ruan Yuebai, Heli, and Nota have all become capable of standing on their own. The code names that were once printed on wanted lists have now become the names of heroes. Even Ruan Jiao, who had never grown up, has begun to grow up gradually. Under Garland's continuous research, he began to learn how to control his mental power. Now when he releases his mental power, the low-level insects he created no longer dare to disobey his orders.

The Falling Star vines in the yard had produced new fruits. 09 unexpectedly discovered that the new fruits no longer contained toxins and tasted sweet. He found an old wine brewing recipe from somewhere and brewed wine with the Falling Star berries. Before Rong Heng and the kids left, he would always give them a large bottle of golden and translucent Falling Star wine.

Everything was getting better, except Ruan Shiqing who never woke up.

After Ruan Shiqing tried his best to reach the surface of the water, he finally woke up from that long dream.

However, something seemed to go wrong in the middle of the process. When he woke up, he was not in the planet B3024, but in his original world.

He was lying on the single bed in the institute dormitory, with a vibrating communicator in his hand.

——He returned to his previous routine life.

Every day I go from the laboratory to the cafeteria and the dormitory. I am either working overtime or on the way to work overtime. Occasionally I go to classes with the instructors to learn fighting skills, or during breaks from meals, I listen to colleagues complain about how difficult it is to raise a child, trying to relax my tense nerves.

He should have been happy, finally returning to a familiar place from a strange world.

But whenever he heard his colleagues talk about raising children, he would think of those well-behaved and sensible cubs. Although they have grown up, they are still cubs psychologically and very clingy. Now that he has suddenly returned, he doesn't know if they can take care of themselves.

And Rong Heng, he must be very anxious.

Ruan Shiqing thought of the ambiguity that he had not been able to expose before, and felt a little regretful. He accidentally discovered the other person's thoughts, but he did not feel disgusted. He even found that the other person always took the opportunity to be intimate with him, and he thought he was very cute, and could not help but cooperate and deliberately tease him.

Although he had never been in love, he was not a young man who knew nothing. He had originally thought about seeing how long Rong Heng could endure. If the other party really couldn't take that step, he might as well do it himself.

It's a pity that there is no chance.

Ruan Shiqing sighed and dragged his feet on the way back to the dormitory.

When his familiar colleagues greeted him, he smiled and nodded. But after returning to the dormitory, he was still surrounded by a strong sense of loneliness and could not breathe.

He sat at his desk. On the computer screen in front of him, the design drawings that needed overtime work were already open, but he just stared at it blankly, not knowing where his mind was wandering.

When I came to my senses, an hour had passed.

With another deep sigh, Ruan Shiqing simply turned off the design software, hesitated for a moment, opened the search box, and searched for information about the Galaxy Empire.

B3024, Tin Gold, Driftwood... familiar names appeared in the search box, but nothing was found. He turned to searching for people's names, trying to find the novel in his memory, but still to no avail.

He closed the computer dejectedly and closed his eyes tightly. After a moment, he opened it again and searched desperately for "how to travel through a book" and "how to travel back to the past after traveling back to the past".

I did find some posts, but they were all made up by netizens and were useless.

Ruan Shiqing stared blankly at the computer interface for a long time. After a while, he leaned back and raised his hands to cover his eyes.

The desire to go back was stronger than ever before, but he could not find any information related to that world.

He seemed to be on an isolated island and could no longer find a sense of belonging.

After a long period of depression, Ruan Shiqing finally regained his spirits. He carefully recalled the information that might be related to the two worlds, and after a long time, he typed "Blue Star" in the search box.
