Chapter 51
In a house in the North District, the sound of men shouting and women sobbing filled the air.
"Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll smash you to death!" Li Gaoda raised a stone bench.
Chen Yu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Golden, she's pregnant!"
"But she's the only one who knows where Xiaoying is. What if she refuses to tell me?!"
"Don't worry, go out first."
Li Gaoda hesitated for a moment, put down the stone bench heavily, stared at the woman with resentful eyes, and retreated step by step towards the door.
Chen Yu went to close the door, then turned to look at the woman, his expression growing serious. She was wearing the standard maternity dress provided by the medical station. It was baggy and stained, and with her long, messy hair, she looked rather miserable.
Chen Yu squatted down in front of her and displayed his identity on his laptop. He said gently, "I'm a security guard from Sector 29. You don't have to be afraid. Can you tell me your name?"
The woman glanced at his ID information for a moment, then finally relaxed her grip on her belly and wiped away her tears. "My name is Shi Aiwei."
"Okay, Aiwei, you're not from this star system, right? Why are you here at Xiaoying's house?" Chen Yu asked, then waited a moment before adding, "Breaking into a private residence is against interstellar law, right?"
"I didn't break in. Xiaoying gave me the key. She asked me to hide at her house..."
"Hide? Ivy, are you in trouble?"
Shi Aiwei bit her lip and fell silent again.
Chen Yu: "Do you know why Gao Da is so anxious? Because he received a message from Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying said that if she doesn't come back within a day, Gao Da will notify the police station to protect your safety. Ai Wei, does this mean that Xiao Ying is in danger?"
He observed Shi Aiwei's expression and coaxed her gently, "Xiaoying knew you were in danger and wanted to help protect you, so she let you hide in her house. Now Xiaoying is in danger, do you just want to pretend you don't know? Aiwei, aren't you and Xiaoying good friends?"
Shi Aiwei's sobs turned into crying. Even though she covered her face, Chen Yu could feel the great fear from her emotions.
"I can't do anything. Xiaoying went there. I can't save her, and neither can you. No one can save her. I can't do anything..."
"How do you know I can't save Xiaoying?"
"...You are just a security guard, a security guard in the garbage star zone."
This statement was true, and while it sounded unpleasant, Chen Yu didn't feel unhappy. He thought for a moment, pulled up a chat log, and pointed at the contact's name.
"I'm a security guard, but I'm not just any security guard," Chen Yu said. "Sector 29 has been taken over by Legion 33. If anything comes up, I can report to the Legion's commander, General Yuan."
Shi Aiwei murmured, "General Yuan... is just a general."
Chen Yu's heart trembled.
General Yuan is only a general. Doesn't that mean that the trouble Shi Aiwei and Xiaoying are involved in is caused by someone that even a general wouldn't dare to mess with? Who else could it be besides the commander?
"You mean, Commander Miyashiro Toshi?"
This name made Shi Aiwei tremble all over. She shook her head vigorously: "No, I didn't say it, I didn't say anything..."
Miyadai Toshi without a doubt.
Chen Yu thought for a while and called Yuan Xu.
-
In the 40th star sector, a video interrogation was carried out in the Central Legion's starship. On the light screen, a woman named Shi Aiwei finally began to narrate her experience.
She and Xiaoying were colleagues, both working at Hele Tavern, a business owned by Gong Daimin. Outsiders thought it was just a place of debauchery, but few knew that Gong Daimin wasn't just hiring barmates for sex and alcohol, she was also hiring their wombs.
Whenever an employee became pregnant with a client's child, they would be taken to a secret delivery room to give birth. The purpose, of course, was to keep the children captive and select those with high spiritual power to adopt as their own.
Shi Aiwei was found pregnant six months ago and taken to the delivery room, where she lived a life of ease and comfort. But before she could even reach full term, she was rushed to the operating table.
The reason was that she was pregnant with twins.
From a very early stage, the research community has had a theory that cannot be confirmed but is also difficult to disprove: the more spiritual infiltration a baby receives in the mother's womb, the greater the probability of awakening high-level spiritual powers.
The so-called spiritual infiltration had nothing to do with the mother's own spiritual power level; it only required a living person who was physically and mentally healthy. However, the twins would take away their mother's spiritual infiltration, so Shi Aiwei had no choice but to accept one outcome: surgery to remove one and save the other.
She only learned about this after she was off the operating table. Perhaps it triggered her maternal instincts, leaving her heartbroken and filled with hatred for Miyagi Daimin and the medical staff around her. But she could do nothing but find an opportunity to escape.
Shi Aiwei knew that Gong Daimin would not let her go, so she could only ask for help from her good friend Xiaoying. Xiaoying tried her best to find a place for her in the 33rd star zone, but she couldn't stand her crying day and night about the child that was taken away, so she volunteered to steal the child back.
Xiaoying pretended to be pregnant and reported it to her superiors. After setting a date to go to the delivery room, she protected Shi Aivi and boarded the manned starship to the 29th star zone before leaving.
Perhaps knowing she was taking a risk, she finally sent that message to Li Gaoda as a backup plan.
And this just happened today.
Feng Yang stared at the screen, put on his headphones, answered a call, and reported to Qiao Mingjin in a low voice: "We've sent someone disguised as a guest to investigate the Hele Tavern in Sector 33. Xiaoying was there this afternoon, but now she's gone."
Qiao Mingjin nodded and looked at Shi Aiwei, who was crying on the screen. "I have another question. Since the baby was taken out before it was six months old, it should be... gone. Does Xiaoying really need to take such a big risk?"
"Captain Joe has been in the civilized central star zone for too long and may not be aware of these dirty deeds."
Yuan Xu answered for Shi Aiwei, "In order to select children with high spiritual power, these people will do anything, and in vitro fertilization is the most common method. Of course, the survival rate is very low when removing the child from the mother's body and placing it in a test tube midway."
Qiao Mingjin was silent and thoughtful.
Yuan Xu sent a message to Chen Yu, asking him to hang up the video call. Shi Aiwei's sobbing stopped, and the cabin became quiet and depressing.
Feng Yang and Xie Wenbo looked at Qiao Mingjin, then at Yuan Xu, and their eyebrows furrowed at the same time.
They were sent by the central government to investigate Yuan Xu. Who could have thought that Yuan Xu would use such an important clue to shift the blame to Gong Daimin.
The kidnapping case was previously investigated because it had some unclear connection to Yuan Xu. However, Gong Daimin's activities using the Hele Liquor Store clearly had nothing to do with Yuan Xu.
Really... do you want to care?
Feng Yang was the captain of the Star Team after all, so he spoke first: "Captain, how about we report the witness and the video to the Central Public Security Bureau? For a case this serious, they'll definitely have to send a special task force down, right?"
"Heh." Yuan Xu interrupted, "Captain Feng, you guys are considered a special task force. From the time Major General Ning died to the time you arrived at Sector 33, how long did it take? One day and one night."
"Captain Feng, do you think Xiaoying can fake her pregnancy and survive a day and a night without being exposed? Or, in Captain Feng's view as a first-class citizen, the lives of worthless citizens shouldn't matter?"
"Captain Joe, what do you say?"
They took the initiative to come to the door with clues and spared no effort to provoke them with words. Everyone could see that Yuan Xu was using them as pawns.
If it were someone else, they might have just dismissed him with a few words.
But he just saw through Qiao Mingjin's character.
"The Interstellar Codex treats everyone equally," Qiao Mingjin said. "Set off immediately to the headquarters of Sector 42."
The Interstellar Code treats everyone equally... Yuan Xu repeated it in his mind and pulled the corners of his lips.
Ignoring this hypocritical and high-sounding statement, his goal was achieved: using the Central Legion as a cover, he sneaked into the 42nd Star Sector openly.
Although the gods of pollution chosen by Han Yi were all eliminated, his words "Mom will die" still made people feel uneasy.
-
In Star Sector No. 42, the star city area and population size are comparable to those of Sector No. 33, but the geographical environment is very different.
The entire Star City is divided into two by a mountain range running from north to south. In the middle of the mountain is the commander's mansion that looks like an ancient castle. Apart from that, there is only one building left on the mountain.
——Abandoned police station.
The security guards inside have been moved down the mountain, and the building has been vacant for more than ten years. The ownership is in the hands of the Asset Management Center, but no one has dared to buy it.
After all, who would dare to be neighbors with Commander Gong?
Gong Daimin stood on the berth on the top floor of the building, gazing at the sky. She remained in this position for a long time until one of her subordinates, Wang Jun, came over to report.
Seeing Wang Jun hesitating, Gong Daimin raised his hand and slapped him.
"If you can't even speak clearly, then get out and farm."
"The lab discovered someone is missing!" Wang Jun's eyes were still anxious. "A pregnant woman named Shi Aiwei is missing."
Miyadai Toshi's face darkened: "The one with the twins?"
He opened the mecha box and flew to the mountain next to the building. He stepped on a certain spot. The mountain gave way, revealing an elevator without a roof.
Wang Jun hurriedly followed her out of the elevator.
"When did you disappear?" Gong Daimin asked.
“…Three days ago.”
Miyadai Toshi suddenly turned around and said, "Disappeared for three days before being discovered?!"
Even though he wasn't responsible, Wang Jun was still trembling with fear: "No one has ever run away before. Everyone in the lab has become a little lax."
In order to allow pregnant women to give birth in the most relaxed state, the laboratory will not interfere too much with their actions and daily routines, so that mistakes are inevitable when counting the number of people.
Three days is the normal period for a pregnant woman's prenatal checkup. Otherwise, the laboratory might not have noticed Shi Aiwei's disappearance until now.
Gong Daimin didn't say anything else, but the half-open mecha was not turned off, which made Wang Jun even more frightened.
When the elevator doors opened, the commotion was beyond their imagination.
The lab technicians in white coats worked in groups, their steps frantic. "Over there, over there, over there, separate searches! We must find it before the commander finds it!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Miyadai Toshi in the elevator.
Everyone froze in their tracks, like statues.
We don't want to lose only Shi Aiwei.
Miyadai Toshi walked out of the elevator expressionlessly: "Don't tell me there's a second person who ran away right under your noses."
She suddenly thought of someone: "That mecha soldier?"
"It's not her..." Before the experimenter could finish his words, a strong light exploded and everything in front of him turned white.
When the light faded and vision returned, Gong Daimin raised one hand, his mechanical palm wrapped in strange gold, pressing against the muzzle of a pistol. The pistol was held by a gray-haired old man, who was held down by Wang Jun's shoulder and his left arm twisted behind his back.
Gong Daimin slowly shifted his gaze from his gun to the experimenters again: "Can't keep an eye on the people, and can't keep an eye on the weapons?"
The leading experimenter swallowed his saliva and couldn't even utter an explanation before Gong Daimin turned the gun on him and shot him dead.
The light-explosive bullet melted into the brain, and hot liquid, accompanied by heat, flowed out of the wound.
Gong Daimin kept moving, the mechanical arm extended and pressed, breaking the wrist holding the gun, and the severe pain made the old man scream.
But instead of begging for mercy, the old man yelled at her: "Bitch, I should have killed you and your bitch mother together!"
"This commander?" Gong Daimin smiled and pinched his chin. With a slight force, the old man's jaw was dislocated, and he could no longer curse. "Father, have you forgotten that this self-proclaimed title has long been mine?"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot and his cloudy eyes were filled with red bloodshot.
Seeing this, Wang Jun hurriedly walked over to the other experimenters and scolded them in a low voice: "Take me to where Shi Aiwei was last seen."
The experimenters nodded repeatedly and hurriedly took him to find someone.
Everyone knew the old man's identity—Miya Shigeru, the former commander of the 42nd Legion and one of its former commanders. Similarly, everyone knew the relationship between him and Miyagi Daimin: it was more like enemies than father and daughter.
Otherwise, Miyagi Dai Toshi would not have announced to the public that his father died of pollution, locked Miyagi Mao in the laboratory, and tortured a generation of heroes into a mentally ill old man.
Gong Daimin loosened his grip, and Gong Mao fell to the ground in pain. She seemed to have completely forgotten about Shi Aiwei's disappearance. After looking Gong Mao up and down, she stepped on Gong Mao's calf with her mechanical foot.
"Father, what did you call me just now?"
“Uh uh!”
Gong Mao's words were unclear, but Gong Daimin could guess what the two syllables meant just from the tone of voice.
She began to increase the strength of her footsteps, but a smile appeared on the surface: "I am my father's 98th daughter, how can I be a bitch?"
Crack—Miyamo's old leg bones finally couldn't bear it anymore and were crushed by the mechanical feet.
He cried out in pain, cold sweat broke out, and blood almost gushed out of his eyes.
This scene made Gong Daimin happy. He took two steps forward, raised his mechanical foot again, and stepped on Gong Mao's face.
You can stomp on his brain until it bursts, just by thinking about it.
But Miyagi Daimin just forced him to look towards the delivery room. "I still can't figure it out. With my father's skills, if he had built a laboratory as early as I did, I'd probably be his 980th child, not just his 98th."
“Why does my father keep sowing seeds in others day after day?”
"Oh, I see. Father only believes in himself and is wholeheartedly devoted to continuing his excellent genes. So, Father, as your child with the highest spiritual power, do I count as having inherited your excellent genes?"
"I inherited the genes, the rank of commander, and the 42nd Sector. I made the 42nd Legion the most powerful in the Orion Belt... Father, you should be satisfied, right? If so, why aren't you willing to die?!"
Bang!
The light-blast gun fired another bullet, which penetrated between Gong Mao's legs.
After a flash of strong light, blood spread on Gong Mao's pants.
Gong Daimin bent down and said, "Hey, why isn't Dad screaming anymore? Oh, it doesn't hurt. The thing that continued Dad's genes was aborted a long time ago."
Gong Mao's suppressed moans finally turned into roars. No one could stand being humiliated by their own child like this.
Gong Daimin finally laughed heartily, reached out and lifted Gong Mao's collar, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
She ignored Gong Mao's murderous gaze, and used her other mechanical arm to reconstruct a knife to help him shave his messy white beard, looking extremely serious.
The extremely sharp blade scraped from Gong Mao's chin to his chicken-skin covered throat again and again.
"Father has been a commander his entire life. He must be very unwilling to give up. Which commander wouldn't want to sit in the Central Star Region?"
"A daughter can help her father fulfill his wish."
"I found a person today, oh no, a knife."
Gong Daimin blew the broken whiskers on the blade and smiled at Gong Mao. "This is a much better knife than anyone could imagine. So, father, you can't die yet. You must hold on until the day I sit in that chair. If—"
"If you're disobedient, father, I don't mind chopping off your limbs and locking you up in the medical bay until that day comes."
"Do you understand, my dear father?"
"Uh, uh uh uh..."
Gong Mao began to utter unclear syllables again, but Gong Daimin was not interested in listening: "Someone, take him back for treatment."
By chance, she received a message from the fleet.
That knife has arrived.
-
Xiyue's eyes were very busy, glancing around inconspicuously with the corner of her eyes.
A Level 2 contaminated area, a Level 5 contaminated area, and the clay figurine remote control had disappeared. She had to get the next remote control as soon as possible, otherwise she would be powerless against the mecha soldiers outside the contaminated area.
Not to mention the S-class Miyadai Toshi.
The moment she boarded the starship, her optical computer was confiscated and the device has not been turned on. Even if Yuan Xu wanted to track her location, there would be no result.
She can only rely on herself.
Sadly, there was no trace of the remote control inside the starship or on the mecha soldiers. This thing was even more random than the contaminated area.
The fleet approached the barrier of Star Sector No. 42. The mecha soldier in the front row suddenly turned around and touched Xiyue. A strange golden aura climbed up along his shoulder, like a blindfold, blocking Xiyue's vision.
"Is this how you treat guests?" Xi Yue sneered.
No one answered.
The mechanical eye mask obviously couldn't be easily removed, as Xiyue could clearly feel a constant pulling force where it touched her skin. If she tried to remove it forcefully, she was afraid her skin would be torn off.
When the blindfold disappeared, she was already standing in a clean white room, next to an open medical cabin, and on the bed was a hospital gown with floral patterns.
"Change in, the coach is waiting for you outside."
Xiyue curled the corner of her mouth. Gong Daimin was really cautious.
After the mecha soldier left, she casually walked around the room. There was nothing in the room except the medical cabin, let alone the remote control.
She couldn't help but wonder, if the wall could be turned into a remote control, could she carry a wall? Even without turning on the pollution, she could kill several soldiers with the wall alone.
She changed her clothes.
Only then did I realize that what the other party prepared was not a hospital gown at all. The cuffs and hem were trimmed with lace, and the waist and abdomen were wide... It looked more like maternity clothes.
Xiyue immediately thought of Ma Liu.
Ma Liu said that they put the child in his belly. That scene made Xiyue feel cold all over when she thought about it.
Looking at this place that looks very much like a laboratory, could it be that Miyadai Toshi is secretly conducting research related to babies?
The answer soon appeared before our eyes.
Xiyue went out and turned left, and saw a hall. On the other side of the hall, the decoration style was completely different from her changing room. The walls were colorful and cute, with many children's patterns painted on them.
It's a bit like the inpatient area of a maternity and children's hospital.
Gong Daimin stood in the middle of the hall, with a pool of blood at his feet. Seeing Xiyue glance at the ground, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not Xiang Jia's blood."
She took off the mecha box, handed it to the mecha soldier behind her, made a gesture, and all the mecha soldiers in the hall retreated.
She raised her chin towards the other side of the hall, motioning Xiyue to follow.
Xi Yue walked over silently and looked at him secretly. Gong Daimin was wearing a black combat uniform with a badge on his collar and shoulder, and two pistols hanging on his belt. There was nothing else.
There's no remote either.
She was a head taller than Xiyue, with short, silver hair and strong facial features. The closer she got to the lovely wall, the more out of place her demeanor became.
Gong Daimin didn't say anything, and Xiyue didn't speak either. The air was extremely quiet.
Until we reached the wall and turned a corner, the silence was torn apart by the scene behind the glass wall.
Behind the glass wall was a vast space, bustling with people. More than a dozen pregnant women were scattered about, some chatting, some eating, looking quite lively. Xiyue looked further out, seeing the space for the pregnant women stretched out forward, with figures in every corner.
There are more than a dozen, probably dozens.
The glass wall has excellent sound insulation effect, and Xiyue can't hear any movement inside from outside.
Feeling the stares from the side, Xiyue turned her head and saw Gong Daimin staring at her with an inexplicable smile. The other party still did not explain and led Xiyue forward.
Walking through the activity center for pregnant women, we passed different rooms along the way. Each room had glass walls, and the people and objects inside were all visible. But it was obvious that the walls were one-way perspective, because the two people in the corridor did not attract anyone's attention.
Besides the pregnant woman, Xiyue saw another group of people - doctors in white coats. There were not many of them, only one in each room. When passing a room, Xiyue stopped.
Four doctors appeared here, surrounding the medical cabin on both sides. One of them bent down and took out a bloody thing from the medical cabin - a newborn baby.
Without letting the mother see them, they closed the medical cabin and left through the other door carrying the baby.
Miyadai Toshi finally spoke the first sentence.
"Are you worried that the woman will die?"
Xiyue remained silent.
Gong Daimin didn't give an answer and continued walking. After turning two more corners, Xiyue saw the newborn baby.
A doctor carried him to a place resembling a neonatal ward and placed him in a fully transparent device resembling a small medical cabin. As the doctor pressed the hatch open and channeled his mental energy into the device, various metal instruments unfolded within the infant's cabin.
The soft and fragile little life and the cold and shining medical equipment will make anyone feel nervous.
Gong Daimin smiled with satisfaction, and moved her gaze from Xiyue's face to her maternity clothes.
"I didn't expect the God of Pollution to be so well-suited to this outfit, didn't I?"
