When Fu Qin returned to the monitoring room, Mo Lan had already spoken to Song Tingyun on the phone again.
Seeing Fu Qin return, Mo Lan said, "Zhou Xu said he'll be here soon, but according to the schedule, it'll take at least a day and a half."
"From the military headquarters, Song Tingyun will assign members of the nearby Chengying Corps to arrive first. They are expected to arrive tonight. He himself will also arrive after completing his official duties."
After explaining what he had learned, Moran asked, "What did the two students say?"
After Fu Qin entered the room, she kept watching the surveillance footage. After confirming that the other students were safe, she repeated what the two students had said.
After hearing this, Moran's expression was grim. "That mecha combat student turned into a Zerg?"
He found Wu Chen's personal surveillance device, retrieved the previous records, and watched all the footage from morning to night at double speed.
The content inside was indeed as the two students said.
Moran was silent for a long time, then looked down again. The Zerg's body tissue was shattered to pieces right under the starship. No one would have thought that it was once an ordinary person who looked very normal.
"What do you think?" Fu Qin asked.
Moran thought for a moment and replied, "This matter still needs to be left to Zhou Xu to investigate. We'll seal off the scene first, and then leave it to the Chengying Legion to look after it once they arrive tonight."
"As for the exam, it definitely can't continue. I've already sent the other invigilators to pick them up. When the students return, everyone will gather and be sent for a genetic screening. No one, teacher or student, can leave the starship until the results are in."
Fu Qin immediately reacted: "Do you suspect there are still Zerg here?"
"It's just a possibility. I hope I'm overthinking it."
Moran pressed his solar plexus. "Not just them. All students and staff at the Federal Military Academy will also need to undergo genetic screening. I've already notified the school hospital to conduct screenings in batches."
The students in the military academy are the future of the Interstellar Federation. Moran doesn't dare to take risks with them. Screening everyone in the school is the safest approach.
Because, regardless of whether or not a secondary mutation had occurred, since the mutants were able to transform into Zerg, they definitely carried Zerg genes in their bodies. If they did, they could definitely be found through screening.
After listening to this, Fu Qin nodded in agreement and added, "I think it's time for another nationwide screening across the federation."
They have been dealing with Zerg mutants for many years and are well aware of their habits. Social creatures like the Zerg are very likely to have companions, but they are not necessarily in the school.
After all, they don’t even know when Wu Chen was infected.
"Well, I think Song Tingyun will also arrange for the nationwide screening. But—" Moran said, pausing and looking at Fu Qin, "With such a big fuss, the news this time will probably be impossible to conceal. Soon, everyone will know that the Zerg have made a comeback, Bai Hao has reappeared, and you, Fu Qin, have been in the Federal Military Academy all this time."
When Fu Qin decided to summon Bai Hao, she knew clearly that she would be recognized, but she did it anyway and did not regret it.
"The situation was urgent at the time. I just wanted to rush over and save people. I had no choice but to drive the Baihao. But if I had to do it again, I would still do it. Did it disrupt your plans?"
Moran shook his head. "No, our plans are always changing based on your actions, so don't worry. I'm not saying this to blame you, but to remind you to be prepared."
"Preparation? What preparation?" Fu Qin asked.
"Be prepared to face your rabid fans."
Fu Qin looked puzzled: "What's there to prepare for this?"
Fu Qin's impression of fanatical fans still lingers on Yu Shuang. Although some of her words and actions are somewhat exaggerated, it does not make her feel uncomfortable, so she doesn't understand why Moran said that.
But she still has too few contacts. Fans are multifaceted. Some people's likes are wild, while others' likes are extreme. Excessive likes can also cause trouble to people.
Moran has a lot to say in this regard.
He recalled the past when he was surrounded and blocked, with a complicated expression, "You will know when the time comes. Anyway, I suggest you stay in the military academy as much as possible. After all, the federal military academy requires authorization to enter and exit, and most people can't enter."
Although Fu Qin was still confused, he nodded obediently and took Moran's words in. "I'll try my best."
At this time, the surveillance footage showed that many students had been taken away by the starship, and most of the surveillance equipment had also been returned to the starship.
Because they didn't know the reason for the suspension of the exam, the students looked a little uneasy. Several teams gathered together and secretly inquired about the news.
Seeing the last team being taken aboard the spaceship, Moran stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take the lead in the screening."
Since it is stipulated that everyone must be screened, he must also treat himself equally.
"Do I need to do it?" Fu Qin asked, pointing at himself.
"No, you don't."
Strictly speaking, androids are not living creatures, so they cannot be infected by Zerg genes.
Besides, if Fu Qin goes for testing, won’t he be exposed immediately?
But it would be strange if she was the only one who didn't get screened.
Mo Lan thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Zhou Xu to make a copy of your report when the time comes."
Fu Qin had no objection to this.
"So what do you need me to do now?" she asked.
Moran pondered for a moment and said, "There is one thing I'm worried about leaving to others."
"What?"
Moran pointed downwards and said, "Draw a cordon around the Zerg corpses. I'll have to trouble you to stand guard for a while. When the Chengying Legion arrives, you can hand it over to them."
Fu Qin didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, I'll go now."
Fu Qin understood Moran's concerns. Before the genetic screening results of other people came out, he couldn't feel comfortable handing this matter over to anyone other than Fu Qin.
So, when the fifth-year cadets returned on the starship, they saw their practical class teacher sitting next to a pile of bloody and unidentified creatures, and a cordon was set up around them.
It looks like a crime scene.
Everyone couldn't help but feel curious. Some people went to ask the invigilators on the same star ship, wanting to know what Fu Qin was doing. However, when the teachers heard the questions, they all had a secretive expression and said nothing.
Several people scratched their heads and became uneasy.
Then they received a notice for genetic screening for all employees.
Genetic screening for all...
The students couldn't help but recall the last federal genetic screening event eighteen years ago.
They were still two-year-old children at that time. Although they could not remember anything at the time, they had heard their parents talk about the grand screening operation that year.
Everyone in the federation, including the elderly and children, is required to participate in the screening.
The screening was to check and confirm whether there were still Zerg mutants hiding within the Federation.
But why are schools suddenly requiring genetic screening now?
Did something happen?
They all thought of some possibilities, but felt they were too far-fetched, so they rejected them directly.
But the less clear they are about the reason, the more uneasy they become.
After waiting for a while, Moran appeared and led them to the temporary school infirmary on the starship, where several invigilators were also undergoing genetic screening.
This made them even more nervous.
But until they finished the screening and returned to the lounge, no one explained to them what had happened.
Several teachers were in a hurry and had no time to take care of them.
While waiting, someone opened the military academy forum and discovered that genetic screening was also being carried out within the school.
Everyone immediately realized that something big might have happened.
Fu Qin stayed by the Zerg's corpse until seven o'clock that evening. During this time, Moran came down to accompany her for a while, but because there were too many things that required him to make decisions, he soon went back to his busy work.
Walter also came down halfway.
After knowing that the person in front of him was Fu Qin, he became much more reserved and even subconsciously used honorifics, "Fu... Teacher Fu, would you like to go back and have dinner first? I'll help you watch for a while?"
Fu Qin glanced at him and said, "No need, I'll just watch over it."
After being rejected, Walter left in disgrace.
But Walter's action gave a signal to other teachers. Those who were originally hesitant and did not dare to come to see Fu Qin all plucked up their courage and went down to Fu Qin when they were free.
Some are the type who quietly watches, some are the type who try to strike up a conversation, and some are the type who passionately express their feelings.
Although the appearance of the Zerg made them anxious, it was still unknown whether there were other Zerg and when they would appear. However, the man in front of them was the real General Fu Qin, and it would be a good thing to take a second look at him.
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, someone might have taken out a pen and paper and asked Fu Qin to sign on the spot.
After Fu Qin had finally seen off a series of teachers who came to say hello, just after seven o'clock, a ray of light flashed across the night sky, and a silver-gray mecha appeared above the C-098 planet and headed straight for Fu Qin's location.
After the mecha landed, the driver jumped out and put the mecha away.
It was a woman with white hair and black eyes, wearing a dark grey uniform without any markings on it.
The other party came to Fu Qin and introduced himself: "Hello, I am No. 006 of the Chengying Corps. Leave this to me from now on. You can rest now."
All personnel within the Chengying Corps are named with numbers, and everyone has his or her own number.
Fu Qin saw at a glance that the other party's mental strength and physical fitness had reached double SS, so he confidently handed the guarding job to her, "Then be careful."
After saying that, Fu Qin stood up, summoned Bai Hao, and prepared to fly directly back to the starship.
In her opinion, Bai Hao had been exposed almost completely, so she might as well just go for broke and not bother hiding anymore.
But for those who see Bai Hao for the first time, it is very shocking.
The moment he saw Bai Hao, the polite and distant No. 006 gasped, "Bai Hao?!"
She immediately rushed to Fu Qin, trying hard to restrain herself from touching him, but a fire was burning in her eyes. "Are you General Fu Qin?"
"I am Fu Qin, but not a general." Fu Qin replied.
She originally wanted to say that she had left the military, but the other party misunderstood her meaning.
No. 006 suddenly realized, "Sorry, it's my fault. You probably don't remember it, but it doesn't matter, you will definitely remember it!"
Her tone was firm and her eyes were shining, she looked like a little fan.
After saying that, No. 006 was worried about putting pressure on Fu Qin, so he corrected her, "No, you can think about it slowly. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. Anyway, whether you can remember it or not, you will always be the Federation's morning star!"
Fu Quilt: "..."
What is the morning star?
