On the way back from planet Herdik to Emerald, in order to ensure sufficient energy, Campbell decided to temporarily stop at the supply star on the way for a day, and wait until all the energy is fully replenished before going on the road.

On the starship, Gu Ting was crouching in the small reading room with his communicator in his arms, searching for information on the light blue electronic light screen.

While typing in the search engine, he said to himself, "The alien beast... the first alien beast... Well, where is it? Hey, isn't this it?"

The blue eyes that were scanning the screen lit up, and the clear pupils reflected the dense data records. Most of those materials were very old versions, even electronic versions with old photos, many of which were restored even after high-tech restoration, and the writing is still somewhat blurred.

"Let me see... Hiss, I can't see clearly at all..."

After hearing Arnold talk about the "alien beast" on the planet Herdik, Gu Ting kept his mind on it. He didn't think about it because of a lot of messy things before. Now it happened that he had time on the way back.Prepare to look for information and confirm what happened at the beginning.

However, most of the information that can be found on the star network at present is vague in content, and some are even incomplete, and there are different opinions on whether it is true or not.Fortunately, Gu Ting asked Ye Lai for the channel and key of the empire database on Starnet last night. A lot of encrypted data may be stored in the database, but don’t know if there is anything he needs.

Fortunately, after entering the word "extraordinary beast", the content that Gu Ting needed was densely listed, and there were dozens of pages at a glance.

This kind of information is encrypted content, and it is not disseminated to the outside world at all. According to Gu Ting's browsing, the most detailed information about alien beasts in the entire interstellar basically comes from a laboratory named "α".

The alpha laboratory appeared very early. It was established in the early days of the empire. It was originally a laboratory for detecting new species in the universe. Even at that time, it was recognized by the empire as a very honorable existence.Until now, sporadic praises for α Lab can be found on Starnet, but the relevant content is only the honors issued by the empire and praises from the outside world.

But in the database, there are more miscellaneous data.Gu Ting found a somewhat blurry but barely recognizable photo, which looked like a handwritten memoir by a researcher——

"It was our team leader who made the suggestion at the beginning. No matter who is the member of this temporarily formed laboratory, he is eager to discover new species in the vast universe. That is a new milestone and a new honor.Whether it's money or status, new discoveries can bring us anything."

"We travel with honor, and we need to return with honor."

"...we have been traveling in the universe for half a year, but we haven't found anything. The urging from the empire is like a beast howling in the wind, gradually approaching us. The empire said that if we haven't found anything yet, they will change a group of researchers..."

"Damn imperial officials, they don't understand what exploration is!"

"A urging was sent again, the lackeys of the empire said that our group of researchers is trash..."

"The whole day, the atmosphere on the entire starship is very low, we don't want to return empty-handed... During dinner, I saw the leader's expression was a bit strange, did he find a way to talk to the empire?"

"On July 29th, the team leader made a decision. He intends to deviate from the original route, because he discovered a brand new planet that has not been explored by the empire during his observations during this period. He believes that there may be new species there.Mark of."

"...August 3rd was the first time we landed on that distant planet. When we saw it on the starship, it was like an orange-yellow pearl left in the universe, with a bright and bright color., but after we went up, we found that it was endless yellow sand, blowing the wind all over the sky, like dry branches and leaves, lacking the support of vitality."

"The team leader took us deep into the planet, where we found a stele - the name of the planet was engraved in ancient characters on the stele. Through day and night research and comparison of ancient characters, we deciphered the name of the planet. It is called 'HeErdik, said to be the cradle of Zerg, this is a planet that has had Zerg footprints... Maybe we will fail again."

"On the third day, I witnessed the scariest thing in my life - there are many monsters here, they are tall but thin, black, dripping mucus, no eyes, but a huge mouth,It was full of aggressiveness towards outsiders like us, and several of my colleagues... died in the mouth of the monster."

"After spending a lot of material resources, we finally caught a monster and brought it onto the starship."

"Such a monster is named 'Strange Beast' by us."

"We reported this discovery to the empire, and at the same time carried out a steady stream of experiments on the strange beasts - they are very powerful, even a destructive force."

"In the strange beast, I saw the gleaming honor, and I even imagined those males who were willing to favor me because of their honor after returning to the empire."

"...After the seventh meeting in three days, we finally decided to apply to the empire to hide the existence of the alpha laboratory. Those discoveries are too novel, they are like an unknown weapon with great lethality, whether it is the appearance or the extension of subsequent experiments, they are full of unspoken charm, and I even imagined that if they can be transformed into a controllable weapon, it will push the empire to a whole new level..."

"The empire agrees."

"We returned to the empire's star field and continued our experiments on a remote planet."

Seeing this, Gu Ting frowned, the meaning revealed between the lines made him feel uncomfortable.He picked up the cup at hand and took a sip, the warm liquid entered his astringent throat, relieving the anxiety caused by that part of the memoir.

He continued to look down. Compared with the pursuit and desire for honor in the previous part, the latter part is full of hysterical madness——

"No, no, no!"

"...the 186th experiment, and failed again."

"The alien beast is dead, it is simply a waste, the empire decided to set up other laboratories, and the glory that belongs to us has been divided."

"The empire sent troops to capture new beasts, and we have experimental materials again."

"...Eight new laboratories have been established, on eight planets, and our Alpha is no longer the only one."

"What should I do? This strange beast has gradually become listless, and its slime has lost its corrosiveness, but it still can't achieve the effect I want. Cutting, electric shock, separation, bath water... what should I do?Woolen cloth?"

"The army of the empire went to Planet Herdik again. They found a place of quicksand, which is like a lair of strange beasts. I believe we will have many, many experimental products this time."

"...Dead, the empire's army is all dead."

"Why...go crazy..."

The handwriting on the back is getting more and more blurred, and the strokes are full of tremors, as if it was recorded in a hurry under some extreme circumstances——

"I watched my colleagues die before my eyes, and I was hiding in the material cabinet in the last laboratory. I was afraid that they would find me."

"...Screams, I suspect that I am the only one left in the whole lab, but they haven't left, they seem to be looking for something... Are they looking for me?"

"It's the thirteenth day, and the remaining water has run out. If I want to survive, I must go to the supplies room."

"It turns out that they have been guarding the door..."

The rest of the handwriting was pulled out a long oil-based pen mark, which was very long and deep, almost scratching the thin paper, and there were sporadic blood stains printed on the corners.

Gu Ting's finger slid across the light screen. From the researcher's memoirs, he was able to almost piece together the reason why the strange beasts appeared on other planets from the planet Herdik.

"Experimental..."

The eyes of the young male were almost stung by those three words.

If it was in the past, before he learned the truth on planet Herdik, he would complain with other Zergs, hating the horror of the alien beasts and their cruelty to the army females; but when he knew that the alien beasts were the incarnation of Yutan and knew thatAfter the Zerg took the alien beast away from planet Herdik, the original resentment subsided, and even transferred to the former researchers - if they did not capture the alien beast for the so-called honor, then the alien beast would not leave their ownIn the homeland, there will be no tides of alien beasts on other planets, and the Zerg will not become sworn enemies with them.

Causal cycle, retribution unhappy.

This sentence came to Gu Ting's mind, true but inexplicably ironic.

——Boom boom.

It was a knock on the door.

Gu Ting sat up slightly from the wide chair, looked at the closed door, "Come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and a strange army female poked her head in.

Gu Ting was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know the other party, so he said friendly: "Do you want to come in and read too? I'm the only one here."

"No no," Jun Nu shook her head, with a naive smile on her face, she explained, "Is this Your Excellency Gu Ting?"

His pupils were bright, filled with emotions of excitement and admiration.

"Well, I am." Gu Ting nodded slightly, he got off the chair, his slender figure was wrapped in a light beige casual shirt, and a pale pink hickey was faintly visible on the collarbone hidden in the neckline.

There was a touch of red on the dark face of the army female, and he took out a group photo from his pocket, which showed him and the Asian female in his arms, "You, hello, my partner is youFans, it is really presumptuous to interrupt this time... But he likes you very much, so I came to you, hoping to get an autograph..."

"My fan?" Gu Ting was surprised. Although he knew that his title of "Sapphire" was well-known in the Star Alliance, he didn't expect that one day he would be the one to be signed.

"Yes, can you?"

Looking at the shy expression on Jun Nu's face, Gu Ting nodded with his lips curled up, with a gentle expression, "Of course."

The dark signature pen is held by slender, bony hands, the black and white color contrast is particularly obvious, the smooth handwriting is drawn from the tip of the pen, leaving traces of pen and ink on the photo, "Well, maybe I should know about you andYour partner's name?"

"My lord, I'm Lil, and my partner's name is Perry." When talking about her partner, Jun Nu showed tenderness on her face, "He's a sub-female, very good at photography, we first met because of the photography exhibition, even in this photo, he adjusted it to selfie mode... Sorry, I said too much."

"It's okay." Gu Ting held a pen and swiped across the photo, leaving his blessing, "I hope you will be happy forever."

"Thank you!" Jun Nu bowed while thanking, before leaving, he solemnly said: "We will be happy."

After a pause, he saluted Gu Ting, "I also hope that you and the leader will be happy forever."

The black-haired male worm raised the corners of his lips, the gentle feeling almost overflowed from his eyes, it was a kind of flowing spring water, no one could refuse it, "Okay, we will be happy forever.”

Looking at the back of the army female leaving, the male worm leaning against the door twitched his nose, as if casually said: "Why is our leader still eavesdropping? Huh?"

The four words "Master Chief" with a certain teasing meaning on his lips and tongue seemed to be dyed with honey, and there was even white icing on it, and they fell into Campbell's ears one by one.The word "um" on the screen is even a little hoarse, compared to a face-to-face conversation, it is an ambiguous murmur that I want to be submerged in between the quilts.

"No eavesdropping." Campbell came out from behind. He brushed the silver-white hair on the side of his ear as if hiding something, and gently rubbed his fingertips against the chocolate-colored pinna, only to find that the temperature seemed to be higher than usualA few minutes later, "Just passing by."

"Just passing by?" Gu Ting turned his head, walked up to Campbell in two or three steps, raised his hand to pinch the hair that fell on the protruding chest of the female insect, and formed a cluster of small brushes in his hand, gentlyLightly scratched the opponent's Adam's apple.

The itchiness in his throat was spreading, and Campbell swallowed almost slowly, the fangs hidden in his mouth were ready to move, making him eager to bite some crooked little villain.

He said, "I came to see you."

Gu Ting seemed to have no bones, half of his body was leaning on Campbell's shoulder, his eyes were half-closed after reading too many materials, and the dryness emerged, even the red bloodshot eyes were a little obvious.

He asked lazily: "I want a kiss."

And Campbell was also very cooperative, "What kind of kiss do you want?"

"Well, what kind of kisses can you provide here?"

Originally, the silver-haired female just wanted to ask her little partner whether she wanted a passing light kiss or a sweaty deep kiss, but she caught a glimpse of the faint fatigue between the eyebrows and eyes of the other party in the corner of her eyes, so the 70% cooperation immediately became 100%cooperation.Campbell said: "What kind of kiss the customer wants, I have it here."

"Then I want your best?"

"Okay." What kind of kiss is Campbell good at?Maybe he doesn't even know it himself, but he knows that the other party will not refuse his kiss.

The silver-haired female didn't say much, she suddenly tilted her head, and held the back of the male's neck with chocolate-colored fingers, and there were a few strands of black hair that were growing under her fingertips.The initial kiss was enough to heat up the two of them.

Warm fingers rubbing the back of the white neck, whether it is Campbell or Gu Ting, they seem to like this action from the bottom of their hearts, as if they can grasp the life of their partner, and control their lover no matter when and whereIn the palm of your hand, don't let the opponent struggle, and don't let the opponent escape.

"Well……"

The wet kiss was hot, and the intertwined breath in his nose gave Gu Ting the illusion that he was about to be scalded. He sensed Campbell's intention to separate, so he chased after him like a snake.Hungering at the other party, he licked the corner of his lips and let go until his breath was not enough.

Campbell touched the back of the male's neck and then turned to rub his ear, "Unhappy?"

Gu Ting paused and shook his head, "No... um!"

The tip of the ear was lightly pinched, it didn't hurt, but the redness could be seen vaguely.

The silver-haired, black-skinned female worm rubbed the side of Gu Ting's face with the tip of her nose, pinched the hair on the side of the other's ear and played with her fingertips, "Baby, don't lie to me."

As he spoke, he pointed to his heart with another finger, "I can feel it."

"...Okay." Gu Ting held Campbell's hand pointing to his chest with his backhand, buried his head in and took a deep breath, and said sullenly: "I asked Ye Lai for the database of the previous empire, and then found the strange beastAccording to the information, it is the Zerg that brought the alien beasts to other planets."

He muttered, "If it weren't for the ambition and vanity of those researchers, the alien beasts should have been living on the planet Herdik to protect the worm mother and Yutan..."

Because the young male worm recalled the unpleasant things, the tail hook behind him also hung limply on the side of his calf, and the drop-shaped tip almost fell to the ground, exuding a sense of depression.

Campbell patted him on the back, "The war between the Zerg and the Alien Beast has been going on for a long time. It is basically difficult to say who has the upper hand between the two sides. The number of military females sacrificed in the Alien Beast tide every time is huge, but at the same timeThere are also many strange beasts that are eliminated by the army female in normal battles..."

His voice was a little low: "Now a cruel balance has been formed."

"But the alien beasts don't belong here." Gu Ting withdrew from Campbell's arms, touched his chin and thought: "If possible, I want to send them back, anyway, Arnold also said, they can't hurt me, and even listen to me..."

"It will be very strenuous, and you will have to face the attention of the outside world."

"You can take your time." Gu Ting said, "I can always think of a way."

Gu Ting leaned forward and kissed the corner of Campbell's mouth again, "Come in with me and continue reading the materials, I still have a lot to read."

"it is good."

After they entered the reading room, an egg the size of a pinky fingernail jumped out from the corner, with a black round nucleus and a translucent egg membrane, but it was still connected with the blood of many worms.

The eggs followed the corner of the wall all the way back to the dormitory of the military female on the starship. It crossed the bed and was caught by a rough hand at the moment when it was jumping up.The egg membrane also fused with the skin, and instantly the black round nucleus was embedded in the flesh, covered by layers of flesh and blood, and disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? Did something fly over just now?" A brown-haired female scratched her head and looked at Shade who was sitting on the bed.

Shade shook his head, he stretched out his hand and waved, "There is nothing, did you read it wrong?"

"Hey, it's really... Could it be that I was dizzy from sleep last night?" The female smiled with her big white teeth, "Why didn't you see Lille? This kid went out early in the morning, and I don't know what he was doingHe said before that he would bring his partner to have a dinner together, but I didn't expect him to be the first to leave the singles."

"Lille..." Shade laughed, "Maybe it's a shift change in the starship? I'll just go out and see where he is."

"Okay, last time Lear said that we will have a drink together when we go back, and we can get together first when we get to the supply star!" The female worm warmly hugged Shade's shoulder.

Jun Nu, who was still smiling, suddenly darkened her face, but he soon put on a smile again, and slipped away from the opponent's arms without a trace.Shade said: "I'm going to prepare for the shift first."

"Okay, okay." Seeing the back of Shade walking away, the female touched her head, whispered: "Why do you feel that this guy has been a little weird these two days..."

On the other side, Shade, who came out of the dormitory, immediately had a gloomy face. In the insect-free corridor, there were lumps of flesh wriggling on his face, and the propped up swelling was filled with black egg nuclei, as if the next momentwill gush out.

"Gu Ting Gu Ting Gu Ting Gu Ting..."

"Sapphire! And..."

"Lille."

He muttered, quickened his pace, and the bulge on his face returned to its original state in an instant, and even put on a simple and honest smile - he saw a familiar figure from the back where he turned his feet.

Xie De raised his voice, "Lille!"

The female who was stopped was flushed with unspeakable excitement. He seemed to have just finished a video call, and there was still missing in his eyes that hadn't completely dissipated.

Lear looked at Shade cheerfully, "What's the matter?" He raised the photo in his hand, showing his "trophy" to his friends.

"Look, I got Lord Sapphire's autograph...he is so gentle, he even wrote blessings on the back of the photo, Perry will die of joy when he returns home!"

Shade grinned. He knew that Perry was Lear's partner, so he cooperated, "He's going to like it." I like it too.

"By the way, why are you here? It's not time to change shifts yet."

"Ah, I have something I want to tell you."

Lear was taken aback, "Say what?"

"Let's talk over there." Shade looked a little embarrassed, "It's hard for me to talk about this topic..."

Lear smiled, stepped forward and patted his good friend on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, let's go to the warehouse and say there are no bugs there."

"OK."

The warehouse is at the bottom of the starship. Shade and Lear didn't meet a few bugs on the way there. When they got there, Lear leaned against the door of the warehouse, "What? Do you have any secrets you want to share with your brother?"

Shade blinked, wondering if it was an illusion, Lear felt that he saw many densely packed black spots flashing past the opponent's eyeballs.

His back trembled, and he raised his hand to stroke his hairy arm, "Shade? Why didn't you talk?"

"It's nothing, I was distracted just now." Shade tilted his head, and suddenly put his hand on Lear's shoulder, "I think..."

"What are you thinking?" Lear didn't hear clearly, so he moved a little closer.

But the next moment, his pupils constricted in an instant, dense round eggs drilled out from Shade's fingertips, and then burrowed in along the flesh on the side of Lear's neck. The whole process did not take more than half a minute.

When Lear came back to his senses, he patted his head in confusion, "What happened to me just now?"

Shade: "You're in a daze."

"...Is that so?"

"Give me the picture in your pocket."

"Okay, okay." Ignoring the slight reluctance and weirdness in his heart, Lear handed the photos in his pocket to Shade like an obedient puppet.

The two worms above had bright smiles, but Shade's eyes only fell on the black signature.

He carefully tore off the part that was stained with handwriting, and the remaining incomplete photo was thrown on the ground, accompanied by a dark military boot footprint.

Watching Shade leave, Lear touched his neck, and picked up the photo on the ground with a stiff movement.

"Who is this with me...?"
