Chapter 49: Ex-husband and Current Family Reunion (End)
What Li Lansheng did in the last war was exposed. The surviving soldiers testified that Li Lansheng lost his mind when killing the Zerg, and many soldiers died at his hands.
The people, who were already in panic because of the birth of the Zerg Queen, began to regard Li Lansheng as a god of war who could save them. But now they know that Li Lansheng cannot control himself, and they feel betrayed.
Not only could the Imperial God of War not protect them, but on the contrary was a killer who slaughtered them.
Countless people petitioned to bring Li Lansheng to justice, and the royal family had no choice but to order his arrest.
"Come with me, young master," Zhuang You's voice was a little distorted, "The royal family is not a safe place."
Shen Zhi tried his best to keep breathing, he had to see Zhuang You.
"good."
The next day, the news of Shen Zhi's disappearance spread, and the omega-exclusive mecha that Shen Zhi was researching came to a standstill. Rumors arose, and people speculated that the mecha that Shen Zhi was researching was just a false reputation and had run away.
Feisi further confirmed the rumor. A sensational Zerg riot occurred on the border, which was said to be caused by the leakage of omeg hormones. Feisi ordered to ban omegas from going to the battlefield and asked alphas to protect the empire.
For a moment, Alpha was full of fighting spirit.
Shen Zhi didn't know all this because he had been detained by Zhuang You for several days and had never even seen Zhuang You.
Shen Zhi became more and more anxious. "Let Zhuang You come to see me, otherwise I will commit suicide in this room," Shen Zhi said to the person who delivered the meal.
Shen Zhi wasn't sure if this would be a threat to Zhuang You, but he thought that since Zhuang You didn't touch him, he might still be useful.
Shen Zhi was not treated harshly, but he simply could not eat, and his already thin figure became even thinner.
The person who delivered the food put it on the table as usual and paused. He had seen this scene several times, but Shen Zhi did not have any sharp weapons that could hurt himself, so he prepared to leave as usual.
"Luo Su implanted a chip in my brain to ensure my safety, and in order to avoid the situation I'm in today, I asked him to add another device," Shen Zhi's eyes revealed a firm determination, "It's to detonate."
Shen Zhi watched the soldier's face change slightly, and finally got the answer he wanted.
"I will report this to Admiral Zhuang."
Shen Zhiqiang suppressed his heartbeat, every minute and every second was torture. He wanted to know Li Lansheng's situation, he wanted to see Li Lansheng once.
He agreed to Zhuang You just to investigate Li Lansheng's situation, and Zhuang You knew that, which was why he had not shown up for a long time.
During his time here, Shen Zhi knew that Zhuang You had already joined Fei Si and was promoted to general.
Zhuangyou is now the only way for Shen Zhi to see Li Lansheng.
Zhuang You had also been through the battlefield, and he came here silently, like a lurking cheetah, possessing unfathomable power.
Shen Zhi looked up when he heard the voice and was distracted for a moment. Zhuang You's black pupils looked directly at Shen Zhi through the air, reminding people of the gloom on a rainy day and the smell of mold and decay.
"Zhuang You?" Shen Zhi called out uncertainly.
How could Zhuang You become like this? Shouldn't he be very proud of his rapid rise? Zhuang You's current image is completely different from what Shen Zhi imagined.
Zhuang You raised his eyes. His sharp jawline made him look even thinner, like a cold knife in the dark night. His eyes started from Shen Zhi's forehead and moved down inch by inch. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master, Luo Su is dead."
It seemed like a notice, but also seemed to carry a hint of regret.
Shen Zhi's brain froze. What? There was a brief buzzing sound in his ears. He didn't understand what Zhuang You said. What did he mean by Luo Su was dead?
Wasn't he the third prince of the empire? How could he die? Zhuang You brought it up in a casual and nonchalant manner. Shen Zhi thought Zhuang You's joke was hilarious.
But he couldn't move the corners of his stiff mouth.
"How... did he die?" There must be a reason. Shen Zhi's fingertips turned white and his nails dug into the table with so much force that they almost broke in the next second.
Shen Zhi's throat was stuck with stones, and it seemed that the sand inside would tear his vocal cords if he moved even a little.
Zhuang You stared at Shen Zhi's suddenly pale face without blinking, and thought inappropriately, if he died, would the young master be so sad?
"Assassination", Zhuangyou gave a simple answer.
Although the Zerg Queen has united the Omegas to fight against them, in fact, the struggle for Omega equality is hidden beneath the seemingly calm sea. It is normal for Luo Su to become the leader of the Omegas and encounter this result.
Bleeding and loss of life are commonplace. Countless betas and omegas have lost their lives. Luo Su's death is inevitable.
Shen Zhi tried to comfort himself and accept it, but tears fell unconsciously from his eyes and his face was cold.
"It was Feisi who did it", stirring up disputes and killing for the sake of imperial power, there is nothing that Feisi can't do.
Shen Zhi gave the name of the murderer behind Luo Su's murder without hesitation, and he had no other choice but to think of Fei Si.
Zhuang You did not refute and told Shen Zhiluo Su's cause of death, "He died in the war to protect an omega."
"His death was widely publicized by the royal family. Now Bo Chonggu has officially joined the war. The royal family has completely broken off relations with Fei Si and supports equal rights for all." Zhuang You explained what happened in the past few days in just a few simple sentences.
Shen Zhi closed his eyes tightly to relieve the feeling of powerlessness that surged through his body. He finally understood why Luo Su told him that they would see each other next time if there was a chance.
He had foreseen his own end at that time. No, Shen Zhi thought, perhaps even earlier.
"Where's Li Lansheng?" Shen Zhi couldn't hold back his tears, his face was cold and sticky, "Is he dead?"
Zhuang You stared at Shen Zhi's transparent and fragile face. He knew that Shen Zhi was lying to him and would come anyway. He couldn't go and gamble. He couldn't bear to bet with Shen Zhi's life.
"No," Zhuang You didn't wait for Shen Zhisong to finish his sentence and continued, "But it will be soon. Fei Si can't hold back and Li Lansheng won't live long."
Shen Zhi staggered over, his body swaying as if he was about to fall. "Take me to see him, Zhuang You, please."
It was the first time that Zhuang You saw the young master being so humble to him, without any joy on his face. His chest was filled with sorrow and it hurt him.
"Hold me, little master," Zhuang You raised his lips and asked the little master who had a puzzled look on his face.
Since he will never be loved and will always be abandoned, give him something to remember.
Shen Zhi took hesitant steps, and Zhuang You waited silently. The centipede scar that occupied most of the back of his hand covered Shen Zhi's face, helping him wipe away his tears. Zhuang You leaned over and half-huggled Shen Zhi.
The cold sweet fragrance surged out from Shen Zhi's neck and penetrated into Zhuang You's lungs. This was the only time Zhuang You could truly relax at ease in these days. Zhuang You's slightly cool lips rubbed against Shen Zhi's neck.
Shen Zhi trembled and raised his eyes in confusion. Zhuang You had already let go and turned around, "Let's go."
Shen Zhi boarded the spaceship and headed for Xingdu Prison.
The vast galaxy was floating above Shen Zhi's head, and he suddenly thought of the attack he encountered on the garbage planet.
At that time, Li Lansheng left in a hurry and Zhuang You was nowhere to be found. Did Zhuang You take refuge with Fei Si at that time?
Zhuang You gave the answer, "The higher-ups asked me to monitor whether Li Lansheng would riot again. I didn't know at the time that it was actually Fei Si who secretly instructed me to do so."
Shen Zhi nodded. It was no surprise that Li Lansheng's imprisonment was also Fei Si's doing.
"Are we almost there?" Shen Zhi felt like each day was a year long being in the same room with Zhuang You. He could vaguely sense Zhuang You's affection for him. He could accept flattery and obedience but not displays of affection.
He could not afford to return commensurate rewards.
The spaceship shook and Shen Zhi's shoulder hit the hull. The pain from the bone collision made his face pale.
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhi asked Zhuang You with difficulty.
Zhuang You's face was gloomy, and he said, "Don't go out. The guards will take you away safely."
Zhuang You seemed to be telling Shen Zhi about his last wishes. Shen Zhi felt a chill for no reason. "Is it Fei Si?"
Zhuang You brought him here because the royal family was no longer a safe place. Fei wanted to kill Shen Zhiwei to instigate the alphas to rebel, but Zhuang You got there first.
There was no need to tell Shen Zhi all this. "I'll be right back," Zhuang You equipped his weapons and left.
Shen Zhi waited anxiously. The soldier who brought him food every day was watching over him. "What's going on outside?"
The soldier shook his head. The order he received was only to protect Shen Zhi.
He wanted to get out. If Faith was targeting him, there was no need to involve innocent people.
Shen Zhi stood up slowly on the bumpy airship, but was blocked by the guards in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" The guard did not move.
Shen Zhi was a little anxious. The deafening battle outside indicated that this confrontation was doomed to fail. He had to get out.
"Do you want your superior to die here?" Shen Zhi's face was solemn and he dropped his hands to the ground with a loud noise. The guard obviously didn't want to do that and while he was hesitating, he gave Shen Zhi the opportunity to run away.
Shen Zhi ran to the operation room. Zhuang You was not there. The microphone was playing Fei Si's pitiful voice, "Zhuang You, kill Shen Zhi and I can spare your life."
Shen Zhi grabbed a person and asked: "Where did Zhuang You go?"
The soldier shook his head and remained silent. Shen Zhi asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, are we all going to die here?"
"The manor hid himself alone on Duke Feisi's airship."
"How long has it been?" Shen Zhi never thought that Zhuang You would dare to do this. Is he trying to kill himself?
The soldier calculated: "It's been almost half an hour, and no message has been received."
Shen Zhi's brain was somewhat lacking in oxygen, and his mind told him that Zhuang You was more dangerous than he was likely to survive. Shen Zhi abandoned his terrible thoughts and could not just sit there and wait for death, otherwise Zhuang You would really die.
"Hand me over," Shen Zhi ordered.
The soldiers did not dare to follow Shen Zhi's orders. Their mission was to protect Shen Zhi rather than rescue Zhuang You.
Faith's hoarse voice rang out again from the spaceship's microphone, "Ah, look who I caught?"
"It's your Admiral Zhuang. In that case, then bomb the opposing spaceship. It doesn't matter if a few people die. The key is to kill them all." Before Fei Si finished speaking, the spaceship suffered a violent turbulence. Shen Zhi's body flew up uncontrollably, and his forehead hit the hull, causing him to faint.
Before he fainted, Shen Zhi heard Zhuang You's voice, and he was not dead yet.
Shen Zhi was in a coma for seven days. In just seven days, Li Lansheng escaped from prison and disappeared, and the resistance on the front line became more intense. Shen Zhi didn't know this.
The sunlight belonging to the Star City spreads gracefully on the floor, forming a unique circle of light.
Shen Zhi returned to the royal family again, but this time it was not Luo Su who took him away.
"Good day, Her Highness Rosalind Luoyuan," Shen Zhi respectfully greeted Her Highness the Fourth Princess.
Luo Yuan also has golden hair. She is very similar to Luo Su, except that her hair lines are softer. She still looks like a holy goddess bathing in the sun.
"Just call me Luo Yuan," the Fourth Princess said affectionately.
Luo Yuan and Luo Su are twins. She is Luo Su's younger sister and also the fourth princess of the empire and the only beta in the royal family.
The royal family wants to save the empire where the struggle is becoming increasingly fierce. The more serious the polarization, the easier it is for the empire to collapse. After having two alphas, the monarch places his hopes on the next child.
The next children happened to be twins, and the monarch had a terrible idea to have one of them appear in public and the other raised in secret.
"Was Luo Su's death destined from birth?" Shen Zhi's voice was harsh. The truth he heard from the Fourth Princess was even more horrifying.
Luo Yuan nodded, "My brother pretended to be an omega to fend off the attacks from the open and hidden, and I was injected with a drug that made me unable to differentiate since I was a child, so I was taught how to be a monarch."
"My brother will die in the midst of the most heated public outcry, and I will be the best replacement born out of nowhere to take over his reputation."
Luo Yuan's voice was indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Shen Zhi felt cold in his heart, "Luo... Su he."
Shen Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and murmured Luo Su's name unconsciously. He was shocked by this.
"My brother has known his own ending since he was a child, so there's no need to feel sad for him." Luo Yuan's beautiful face is 70% similar to Luo Su's, but the indifference in her eyes is exactly the same.
Shen Zhi now understood why Luo Su was so indifferent. How could a dying person have the interest to enjoy life?
"Brother likes you very much, and you can be regarded as filling the void for him." Luo Yuan tilted his head and looked at the transparent window. "He should have no regrets."
Shen Zhi's heart was gripped. Almost no one was wrong in this matter, and no one should be blamed. However, Shen Zhi still felt indescribable sorrow for Luo Su, who dedicated his life to the empire since birth.
"Obsidian is in the warehouse. If you want, let the guards take you there." Luo Yuan came here just to explain this one thing.
Li Lansheng disappeared, but he sent Shen Zhi a mecha developed by his mother.
There seemed to be fewer voices online calling for Omegas to withdraw from the front lines. The war with the Zerg had entered a fierce stage. Shen Zhi had no time to feel sad. What he had to do now was to make public the fact that his mother's design works had been stolen.
Ms. Yunni is the most outstanding omega mecha designer under Princess Amelia. She developed the first "Obsidian" military mecha for the Empire to be driven by 3S-level alphas, which became a model for countless military mechas to imitate.
However, the fruits of her labor were signed by someone else, as the real designer died over the years.
Her son is a beta who inherited his mother's talent. He designed a mecha based on the Amelia mecha that can block omeg signals and provide it to the omegas fighting on the front line to protect their homeland.
The royal press release caused an uproar once it was released.
"Are there not enough omegas hiding their identities? It's not that we don't have abilities, we've just been deprived of our voices."
"We don't know how many omegas have lost their credit to alphas in the secular world, but from now on, we will defend our rights."
"Omega's win rate on the front line has surpassed Alpha's, everyone go check it out."
Shen Zhi also saw this comment, the war correspondent interviewed at the place where Omega was defending.
It was Li Lansheng. He was not missing, but went to the front line to lead the omegas to fight.
Li Lansheng faced the camera calmly, his gray eyes filled with murderous intent, but even so, he was a reassuring presence. "Omegas are not as strong as alphas, but they are very flexible and agile. Through training, they can kill insects at the shortest speed, using speed to make up for endurance."
"Do you support equal rights?" the war correspondent asked maliciously.
Li Lansheng nodded, "Yes, I support equal rights for men."
The war correspondent seemed to have found something explosive. "You are the alpha leading the omega to victory. Doesn't this just prove that the omega is dependent on the alpha? This goes against your wish to support equal rights for AOs."
His sharp grey eyes swept across the camera. "This is the preferential treatment given by the exclusive alphas. I am now repaying them. If omegas are given the same opportunity, they will be no worse than anyone else."
The war correspondent did not get the answer he wanted and left in disappointment.
Li Lansheng's cold voice rang out behind him, "You don't know yet, you crawled out of an omega's belly."
The war correspondent blushed instantly.
This video was posted online. No one can stand on the mountain built with other people's interests and then accuse them.
Shen Zhi was always keeping an eye on the news on the Internet, praying that the war would end soon.
As the war was drawing to a close, Luo Yuan was declared by the royal family to be Luo Su's lost twin beta sister and was loved by the people. They hoped that Luo Yuan could become their new monarch.
Just like everything Luo Su had done for them.
Luo Yuan was preparing to become the new monarch. One day, he met Shen Zhi who told him, "Fei Si is dead. Zhuang You killed him."
Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask if Zhuang You was still alive. Luo Yuan didn't know either.
Finally, the day came for Luo Yuan to ascend the throne, and Shen Zhi was also invited.
The war is over and soldiers fighting on the front lines are invited to watch the birth of their new monarch.
Shen Zhi was looking forward to seeing Li Lansheng. He waited until Luo Yuan was crowned, and waited until late at night when many suppressed people in Xingdu got drunk and cried, but he still didn't wait for Li Lansheng.
Shen Zhi rubbed his dizzy head and returned to the room. There was a tall figure standing by the window. Shen Zhi couldn't see clearly and called out vaguely, "Zhuang You?"
Shen Zhi stepped forward to take a look, and was unexpectedly met with sharp grey eyes.
Li Lansheng seemed not to have heard Shen Zhi's words clearly. He turned sideways to let him look at the bustling scene outside and asked, "Is it beautiful?"
Shen Zhi looked at the prosperity that he had exchanged for his life and nodded, "It's beautiful."
"Stay and take a good look at the scenery they left behind with their blood," Li Lansheng said in a hoarse voice with an imperceptible plea.
Shen Zhi looked into Li Lansheng's mechanical gray eyes and agreed, "Okay."
————
Shen Zhi returned to the main divine space again, "System, have you ever entered a small world?"
The system denied, "I am not me, I don't have you, don't talk nonsense."
The system cannot enter the small world.
Shen Zhi really felt that he had heard the voice of the system. Shen Zhi was not entangled in this. Perhaps the system really had some unspeakable secrets.
"Why do I get addicted to the characters in the small world every time I enter it?" Shen Zhizi considers himself a cold and aloof person who rarely empathizes with others.
The system said vaguely: "To prevent you from ooc."
"Don't ask anymore. You've failed in this mission again. Go to the resort world for a while." The system stopped Shen Zhi immediately when it saw that he still had questions.
Shen Zhi remembered how anxious the system was when the mission failed last time. Now it seemed to be hiding something. "System, have you seen the Lord God?"
The system must have received some instructions, otherwise there would be no reason for it to accept the failure of the mission so quickly.
The system quickly covered its mouth and looked at Shen Zhi in horror. Did it say something wrong?
"What exactly does Vacation World mean?" Shen Zhi asked, why did he insist on going to Vacation World.
The system prevaricated, "It's just an ordinary little world. If you don't want to go, just continue with your mission."
The system fired like a machine gun, not giving Shen Zhi any chance to speak. "There are reborn people in this world. Be careful. They are usually very violent."
The protagonist of this small world is a fool. In his previous life, the protagonist married his younger brother. However, the younger brother of the protagonist could not resist the temptation and cheated even though he was a college student. The protagonist was reborn in this life and decided to marry the fool and live a good life, but he was too late.
She still married the protagonist's younger brother. The person she married was Shen Zhi, but Shen Zhi beat and scolded the protagonist. The protagonist fell in love with him under the care of the protagonist. Finally, when the protagonist was found by his real relatives, he took the protagonist away.
"You just need to be careful about the arrogant educated youth. Just attack the main attacker every now and then and wait until he recovers to normal and is abandoned. It's not difficult," the system instructed Shen Zhi, as if it was hiding something.
System Xukong wiped his sweat. If he had known that Shen Zhi would find out, he should have thrown the person in directly.
