Chapter 157 Cocoon
On the second day of the awarding ceremony, all the bigwigs who took the time to attend the ceremony returned to their posts one after another. The generals of the three legions left early in the morning, but Sheng Heng did not leave with General Sheng, but stayed in the capital star.
"Are you really on vacation?" Yan Hao still couldn't believe it as he waited for Sheng Heng to follow him back to school.
"Yes, I applied for leave early in the morning." The raid on the Zerg was a complete success. The Federation took back the eight nearest planets. The Zerg had no ability to fight again in the short term. It was a good time to take a vacation. Not only Sheng Heng, many mecha warriors took this opportunity to submit vacation applications.
"How long can we rest?" Yan Hao asked.
"I took a month's leave." Sheng Heng said.
"One month? Didn't you just get promoted? Would it have a bad impact on you to be away for such a long time suddenly?" Sheng Heng was just awarded the rank of captain not long ago. For a student who has just graduated for less than half a year, Sheng Heng's rank has already surpassed many previous graduates.
Sima Mingxuan does not count. He was awarded the rank of major general as an exception as he was the successor to the Sima Corps.
“There is definitely an impact.”
Yan Hao widened his eyes nervously.
"But I don't want to succeed the God of War Corps. Why should I be promoted so quickly?" Sheng Heng said, observing Yan Hao's expression for a while, and suddenly said, "Xiao Hao, what kind of person do you want me to be?"
"What?" Yan Hao didn't quite understand what Sheng Heng meant.
"That is... would you like me to achieve great things and become the successor of the God of War Legion?" Sheng Heng asked.
"Isn't Brother Sheng Zhuo the heir to the God of War Legion?" Yan Hao asked back.
Sheng Heng was startled when he heard this, then he chuckled and agreed, "Yes, he is my brother."
I really did it in vain. Even if I became the successor of the God of War Corps, what would it matter? My father had been working for decades and still didn't get a purple medal. Anyway, I was marrying up, so I might as well just lie down and be a gigolo. Anyway... Xiaohao shouldn't despise me.
Sheng Heng's dream is to become a soldier who can defend his country, not to be the successor of the God of War Corps. Being a successor is a responsibility, and if it is his responsibility, he will not postpone it, but now there is someone more suitable than him.
Although the vacation lasted a month, neither of them could sit idle. During the day, Yan Hao went to Pang Lao's laboratory to study and research as usual, but he was no longer unwilling to leave like before, but disappeared at dinner time. Pang Lao couldn't help but complain about this. At first, he was worried that Yan Hao would only focus on research and neglect his partner, and eventually become a lonely person like him. Now it seems that it's a good thing that Sheng Heng is a soldier and it's rare for him to take a vacation, otherwise this vixen would delay the progress of scientific research.
As for the vixen, well, Sheng Heng was not idle when Yan Hao was busy. The Federal Mecha Academy knew that Sheng Heng was back for vacation, so they called him over to be a temporary combat instructor. The combat content was a new course added this year, the use of the weapon "Haoyue" on the battlefield.
"Haoyue" is a weapon against low-level mechas. Sheng Heng does not often use it on the battlefield, but as the earliest user of "Haoyue", his mastery of "Haoyue" is no worse than anyone else.
During the leisurely vacation of the two, the military was cleaning up the battlefield. In this raid, the Federation killed countless Zergs, but the bodies of the dead Zergs were still there. The bodies of the Zergs were huge, with hard shells, and extremely difficult to decompose. It was very troublesome to deal with their bodies. If there were only a small number of bodies, it would not be a big deal, just find a place to bury them collectively. But the Zerg is a race with a desire to reproduce. Their existence seems to be for continuous reproduction, so there are countless Zerg bodies on every recovered planet, so many that the Federation did not know how to deal with them for a while.
After a short study, the Federation decided to collect some Zerg debris that were worth studying and throw the rest into a space black hole. Using the power of the space black hole, the Zerg corpses were annihilated. But even so, a month was not enough to completely clean up the Zerg debris on the eight planets.
"Old Wei, how many Zerg corpses have you transported today?" Because the Zerg corpses are huge, large machinery and mecha assistance are needed during transportation, but because there is no danger, the mecha warriors in charge of this work will open internal communications and chat with their comrades while working.
"Three hundred and eighty-six." A level five mecha warrior known as Lao Wei answered while operating the mecha to drag the remains of a level six Zerg.
"Hey, I'm four hundred and one."
"I have twenty level seven Zergs and one level eight."
"Why are you so proud? You didn't kill him. You just picked up the body."
"I've been in the army for more than ten years, and finally I have the chance to crush the level eight Zerg under my feet." Old Wei spoke with the tone of a liberated serf singing, "I've been dreaming about this day for more than ten years, and finally I can get rid of my anger."
As he spoke, Lao Wei controlled the mecha and stomped hard on the Zerg remains under his feet: "These brainless monsters, who only know how to reproduce, should be exterminated."
"I agree with this. The reason these Zerg came to our Federation is that they must have eaten up all the galaxies they originally lived in. There are so many Zergs, and I don't know how much they ate and how many planets they destroyed."
"I heard someone on Starnet say that scientists have calculated the reproduction capacity of the Zerg and estimated that the Zerg could develop to its current size by devouring at least two civilizations like ours."
"Oh my god! Fortunately, we have the ability to resist. If it were an inferior civilization, we would have been slaughtered by them."
The universe is so vast, with many civilizations. The establishment of the Federation is the result of human technology developing to a certain stage and combining all the surrounding planets. However, the discovery of these planets does not mean that there are only these planets in the universe. They firmly believe that there must be many other civilizations in more distant places. There are those that are higher than them, and there must be those that are lower than them.
"Scientists have also said that the Zerg may have come from a certain civilization, or may be a civilization itself."
"Oh, please stop talking. It's giving me the creeps."
The remains of the Zerg were loaded onto transport ships, which flew to the nearest black hole in space and then dumped all the Zerg remains into it.
At the same time, at the other end of the vast universe, in front of the same black hole, a huge Zerg that looked like a battleship was emitting golden light. Within the range covered by the golden light, there were countless Zergs, which spread outward one by one without any visible boundaries.
Among these densely packed Zergs, there were eight cyan Zergs. These eight cyan Zergs were smaller than the golden ones, but larger than the rest of the Zergs. On their shiny cyan shells, a pair of sharp front claws emitted a faint cold light. They were surrounding the huge black hole, occasionally probing inside, and after a moment they would drag out a pitch-black Zerg corpse.
When the cyan Zerg saw the corpses, they seemed to be unaware that they were of the same species. They slashed the remains into pieces with their sharp claws, and then brought them to their mouths and swallowed them in a few bites. And every time they swallowed a Zerg, the color of the cyan Zerg would become a little richer.
The eight Zergs ate one by one under the gaze of countless Zergs. No one knew how much time had passed until the cyan color almost became solid, and finally formed a huge cyan cocoon that wrapped the worm inside. Then the second one, the third one, and so on until all eight worms had turned into giant cocoons.
At this time, the giant insect that had been emitting a faint golden light suddenly flapped its wings, and then the huge black hole that had been rotating suddenly trembled, and then began to shrink rapidly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After the black hole disappeared, the golden insect race also restrained its own light. Space returned to tranquility again, except that there were eight more blue light balls among the countless stars.
Yan Hao is currently trying to make a level 7 mimic mecha. The first mecha he made, "Reborn", was upgraded to a level 7 mimic mecha after the magic stone. Its performance has surpassed the traditional level 8 mecha and is infinitely close to level 9, which is a goal that many mecha manufacturers cannot achieve even after restarting. But Yan Hao is not only interested in this. For him, the level 10 mimic mecha is his goal.
However, the level 10 mimic mecha is still a little difficult at present, but there is still hope to make a mimic mecha with the power of the level 10 traditional mecha. Yan Hao has calculated that the level 7 mimic mecha can at least reach the level of level 8 after being upgraded by the phantom stone, and the power of the level 8 mimic mecha can basically reach the level of the level of the level 10 traditional mecha. If this mecha is successfully made, the senior will have the highest combat power in the current federation.
Yan Hao plans to complete the production of this eighth-level mimicry mecha before graduating from university, and then use this mecha to propose to Sheng Heng.
"It's six o'clock, why aren't you leaving yet?" Old Pang glanced at the time and was a little surprised that Yan Hao didn't go to have dinner with Sheng Heng on time today.
"Oh, let's go now." Yan Hao quickly put together the almost completed parts in his hands.
"Teacher, see you tomorrow." During this period, Sheng Heng would wait for him downstairs at six o'clock every afternoon. Yan Hao was afraid that Sheng Heng would wait for too long, so he waved goodbye to Mr. Pang and ran out in a hurry.
Old Pang smiled and shook his head, walked to Yan Hao's workbench, picked up the parts made by Yan Hao and looked at them carefully.
Yan Hao got out of the elevator and saw Sheng Heng waiting at the door. Sheng Heng was wearing light-colored casual clothes and leaning against the door frame of the laboratory building. His body was lazy and casual, but his eyes were always fixed on the direction of the elevator. Until the elevator opened with a beep, a handsome boy walked out. Sheng Heng's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and stretched out his hand to the boy.
"Senior, have you been waiting for a long time?" Yan Hao walked over quickly and naturally shook the other person's outstretched hand.
"Three minutes and twenty seconds." Sheng Heng said.
"Ah, let's go quickly, the food will be delivered soon." Yan Hao hurriedly pulled Sheng Heng to the school apartment. Sheng Heng had been living in the teacher's apartment for the past month. He was no longer a student and could not live in the student dormitory, but the school invited him to give practical training to freshmen, so he was arranged to live in the teacher's apartment.
Today is the last day of Sheng Heng's vacation. Yan Hao promised to cook a meal for Sheng Heng himself. He ordered the ingredients early in the morning and agreed to have them delivered at this time.
When the two arrived at the door of Sheng Heng's apartment, the food delivery robot had just arrived. After collecting the ingredients, the two went into the house to prepare dinner. Yan Hao hadn't cooked for a long time, but his cooking skills were not rusty. The two of them had a very happy dinner. After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and the night gradually deepened. Yan Hao looked at the time, stood up and prepared to leave, but was hugged from behind by Sheng Heng and held in his arms.
"Don't leave tonight." Sheng Heng said softly.
Don't leave? Does the senior want to?
Yan Hao couldn't help but imagine it in his mind and felt a little overwhelmed, his face flushed so much that it almost bled.
Do you want to stay? It's only a matter of time. But we haven't gotten married yet, so why not leave? But if I leave, will the senior be angry?
Or you can just stay. Anyway, He Shao has said that many people have finished what they need to do in their freshman year, but you are already a senior and still haven't done anything. This is actually abnormal.
Then…then…
"Your face is so red, are you thinking of doing something bad?" Sheng Heng teased deliberately.
"No...no." Yan Hao argued guiltily.
"Not yet, you look guilty. I'm telling you, we're not married yet, so don't try to take advantage of me, but you can hold me to sleep tonight."
"Oh." Yan Hao nodded, feeling relieved but also a little disappointed in his heart.
Sheng Heng smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he had resolved Yan Hao's embarrassment with his understanding. He boiled the frog in warm water for a while longer, but he didn't know that if he had held on for just one more minute, the frog would have been cooked.
