Chapter 60： 60th

Rong Heng and his party arrived at star B3024 in the evening. The battleship was still hovering outside the B3024 star, and the group landed on a transport ship.

When the huge transport ship landed, it caused a commotion and onlookers. Morrie led people to disperse the crowd watching the lively, and then began to lead people to load and unload the equipment on the transport ship.

Rong Heng and Hector went straight to the repair shop with the three cubs.

Ruan Shiqing, who received the news in advance, was waiting at the door. "Glory" landed in front of the door, and the cubs rushed down first, rushing to sumo into their father's arms.

Ruan Shiqing touched his head one by one, and asked 09 to take the cubs to play in the backyard, while his eyes turned to Rong Heng and Hector who stepped down.

The two stepped forward to check carefully, these Zerg were all dead, or their abdomens were blown open, or their heads were shot. Almost all of them were killed with one or two shots, and the people who did it were pretty good.

"I killed with 09." Ruan Shiqing tapped the armored walker parked on the other side: "The newly developed weapon is just used to practice."

When Hector entered the door, he noticed the huge armored walking machine, but he had never seen such a peculiar machine, just thought it was the equipment that Ruan Shiqing bought in exchange.

I didn't expect it to be a newly developed weapon.

If the time was not right, he would have been eager to try it.

"Aren't you hurt?" Rong Heng looked down at him.

Actually, he wanted to show more tenderness, but His Royal Highness has never been tender to anyone since he was a child, and the education he received since childhood taught him only toughness and iron blood.

So even when caring about people, it seems hard.

After he said it, he regretted it.

It should be gentler.

Ruan Shiqing didn't care too much, laughed and joked: "Mr. Rong doesn't believe in my skills too much, although I can't deal with the Zerg in terms of physical fitness alone. But I still have brains and weapons. . . Dealing with them without getting hurt."

"I didn't mean that." The corners of his lips pursed slightly, Rong Heng looked slightly annoyed: "Of course I believe you."

But when you start to care about a person, it is not because you believe in his ability that you can not worry about his safety.

"I understand what Mr. Rong means." Ruan Shiqing rolled his eyes at him: "I'm fine."

Rong Heng stretched his eyebrows.

After a brief chat, the topic returned to the Zerg. Ruan Shiqing asked curiously: "Hector just said that this is a scout in the Zerg?"

Rong Heng nodded and explained to him: "The social structure of the Zerg is similar to that of the bees, the queens lead the entire group, and the males with strong reproductive ability are responsible for **** with the queens, but have no reproductive ability. The Zerg, as worker insects, are responsible for defending the insect nest, foraging for food, caring for insect eggs and nurturing larvae, etc. During these years of war, our understanding of Zerg has gradually deepened, and these worker insects are divided into different divisions of labor. Combatants, scouts, logisticians, etc."

"These relatively small, agile Zerg are called scouts. Most of the time, they are responsible for detecting intelligence and are the vanguard of the Zerg. Whenever the Zerg launches an attack, they must Scouts will be dispatched first to investigate the situation on the battlefield."

The more Ruan Shiqing listened, the more worried he looked: "Then these scout Zerg came to B3024 star, also to explore the way? There will be a large army of Zerg behind? But why did they come to B3024 star?"

His questions came one after another, but Rong Heng was unable to give a definite answer.

"It's not impossible." Rong Heng stared at the stacked Zerg corpses, his voice a little dry: "In fact, in recent years, we have found that these Zerg are getting smarter and smarter. Many of their behaviors can no longer be predicted according to the previous fixed behavior patterns."

So what is the purpose of these scouts Zerg appearing on the B3024 star, even he can't guess.

"We can only strengthen prevention." Rong Heng finally said: "As for how these Zerg crossed the frontline area, I will send someone to investigate the situation as soon as possible."

Ruan Shiqing was very worried: "If it's just Xiaobo's Zerg, it's not enough to be afraid of, but if as you said, the Zerg army is still behind, then with the situation of B3024 star, it can't handle a large number of Zerg at all. s attack."

"I will send a group of people to station at B3024 star. They are all elites in the front line against the Zerg." Rong Heng said seriously: "We can defend the front line, and we can also defend B3024 star. "

His eyes were calm, and he did not waver even in the face of unknown danger.

Ruan Shiqing was infected by him, put aside his worries, nodded and said: "Then I will dissect these Zerg as soon as possible to see if they can find their weaknesses and develop more efficient weapons against Zerg."

"You don't have to be under too much pressure." Rong Heng looked at him, his eyes softened unconsciously: "Defending the empire and the people is what soldiers should do, and you have helped us a lot. ."

"It's just a matter of what you can do."

Ruan Shiqing laughed, even with a heavy heart, he was much more relaxed, and then asked: "Why didn't Xueqiu come back together?"

"He... is still undergoing special training." Talking about Snowball with Ruan Shiqing, Rong Heng was always a little guilty and short of breath.

But she couldn't help but ask: "You seem to like him very much?"

"Well, Xueqiu is very likable." Ruan Shiqing made no secret of his love for Xueqiu, and even smiled: "Mr. If you will be so strict with him, the deepest love will be responsible."

The depth of love is the responsibility.

Rong Heng was in a trance for a moment, and couldn't help thinking of his mother who was very strict with him. Since he was born, he was taught by his mother. He did not go to school for a day. From astronomy, geography, economics and politics, from fighting skills to military strategy, his mother taught him personally.

When he was young, he would occasionally envy other cubs for having a gentle mother, who would not be so strict, and would take the cubs into his arms and comfort them softly when they cried.

But as he grew up, he gradually agreed with his mother's approach.

"Yes." He nodded slightly, and couldn't help but said, "In contrast, Mr. Ruan is too doting on the cubs."

Look at the door of the backyard, three little cubs who probe their brains and try to eavesdrop, it is really outrageous.

Cubs that inherit the blood of ancient races are different from ordinary races. They are born with stronger bodies, smarter minds, and greater strength. Growing up step by step is a choice only for ordinary races, and their path from birth is not destined to be ordinary.

The powerful force in the body is a double-edged sword, and they should learn how to manipulate and use it as soon as possible.

Ruan Shiqing also understands this truth, but he is not a native of this world, and he does not have a deep understanding of the power and glory of the four ancient tribes. In his opinion, these cubs are just just cubs.

They may become stronger in the future, but they also deserve a healthy and happy childhood.

Mr. Ke Rong is right. The cubs have a special identity. Instead of protecting them under their own wings, it is better to teach them to fly.

Ruan Shiqing looked solemn, put his hands together and said: "But I can't be **** them, can I ask you to teach them more? When you train snowballs, just bring them. In return, I can give up 20% of the factory's profits."

A person between a teenager and a young man is half a head shorter than him. When you put your hands together and make a serious request, you need to raise your face slightly, and your dark eyes are fixed on him, full of trust.

Rong Heng's heart was scalded, he opened his eyes uncomfortably, avoiding the other party's gaze: "We are friends, you don't have to be so polite."

After a pause, she added bluntly: "I will teach them well."

"Then thank you." Ruan Shiqing invited him to stay after dinner with a smile.

Rong Heng secretly clenched his fists and almost agreed. In the end, he resolutely refused: "There are still some things that have not been settled, Hector and I have to go first."

"Then next time." Ruan Shiqing understood his busyness and watched him and Hector leave.

Hurry up and board the "Glory", Rong Heng let out a sigh of relief, and said "Go to Feta Manor" to Hector, and hurriedly entered the rest cabin.

Hector stared at his tensed jaw, and said strangely: "Didn't we chat happily just now? How do you change your face?"

Rong Heng locked himself in the rest cabin, raised his hand and pressed the position of his heart.

The heartbeat under the palm of the hand is very fast, with a burning hotness.

Closing his eyes, his eyes are filled with the trusting look of the other party when he asks for help.

Leaning back against the cabin wall, he murmured in a low voice, "Noah, I like this planet more and more..."

More and more like someone on this planet.

When "Glory" arrived at Feita Manor, Rong Heng sorted out his emotions and expressions.

Morrie just came back from the factory, and after seeing the two, he asked eagerly, "Are you sure it's a Zerg?"

Rong Heng nodded and walked straight in: "Go in and talk about it."

The three took their seats in the small conference room, and Mori muttered to himself: "It turned out to be really Zerg, how did they bypass the defense line?"

Someone will definitely be sent to investigate, then everything we have prepared here will be exposed to people, and it will all be in vain."

But if you don't notify the military, it's tantamount to making jokes about the defense lines of the entire empire.

Rong Heng was not as optimistic as he thought: "Do you think that if you report to the military, someone really cares? This is not Sikkim, just a remote garbage star."

Compared to Hector's trust in the military, Rong Heng saw more of the dark side: "We have people in the inner city, I have confirmed just now that the inner city officials have been there long ago. In the morning, the news of the appearance of the Zerg on the B3024 star was reported. But after learning that the accident site was only a remote junk star, the first order issued was to block the news. "

Hector and Morrie looked stunned: "How could..."

"It's just a junk star, those people don't care." Rong Heng sneered: "What they care more about is, once the news of the Zerg appearing in the Central Region spreads, what will happen? What's more, the population on the B3024 star is all black and dark. Once officials come to investigate, the media will surely flock to it, and then the truth about the gray population on these junk stars will be exposed to the public, shocking It's no smaller than the appearance of Zerg in the Central Region."

Since the establishment of the first generation energy center, it has been under the banner of environmental protection and human rights.

Of course, in the beginning, the energy center was indeed established to improve the living environment of each planet. The garbage on the prosperous planet was concentrated on the barren planet, and then the garbage was converted into new energy through the energy center. energy, which is completely harmful and unprofitable.

It not only protects the environment of major planets, but also saves energy in disguise.

In order to thank the army stationed in Junk Star and the sacrifices of the staff, the government also specially spent huge sums of money to build a prosperous city around the energy center, allowing staff to bring their families to station.

However, after a long period of development, institutional decay, capital injection, and expansion of selfish desires, the existence of the energy center has long changed.

Junk stars are also gradually filled with gray populations, full of violence and crime.

In this decaying and declining empire, slogans such as human rights or environmental protection are just a pretext to fight against political enemies and show off.

Human rights come where they can be seen.

As for the invisible corners, who cares?

Once these ugly truths are exposed, the mask that the capitalists have worked so hard to manage will be torn down, and even the upper levels of the entire empire will be shaken.

That's why Rong Heng is sure that not only will they not send anyone to investigate, but the news will be strictly sealed.

"Then we'll have to be self-reliant." Hector spread his hands: "The scouts are all dispatched, I don't think those Zerg will just turn around like this."

"I have sent a message to Dareth to have him come to Star B3024 with his elite as soon as possible. Safety on Star B3024 is not a problem." Rong Heng knocked on the table: "The most urgent thing at present is The problem is that they have to be checked as soon as possible to find their way into the B3024 star."

From the front line area to the B3024 star, the journey is long, and this group of Zerg must make several transitions before they can reach it smoothly.

Capsules."

"The trouble is really one after another." Hector pouted and muttered: "I always feel like I'm on a pirate ship."

Unexpectedly, the Brigadier General would have to wear Yi Rong capsules to meet people one day.

"If you don't want to, you can go to Ota to find Garland yourself." Rong Heng glanced at him lightly.

"Ok, I'll shut up." Hector raised his hand in surrender, zipping his mouth.

Although there are only dozens of habitable planets in the Orta region, there are countless other planets. Garland always likes to find some remote and uninhabited stars in his experiments, who knows where he will hide this time. If it is really relying on him, I really can't find it.

Rong Heng was a little satisfied and went back to the room alone.

He didn't rest after returning to the room, but called Lucian's communication.

"Your Highness." Lucian's virtual image appeared in the room.

"Is there any abnormal situation in the frontline area recently?" Rong Heng asked.

Lucian thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't receive the news. But what happened?"

Rong Heng pondered for a while, and told him about the Zerg found in the central area: "The twelve Zerg scouts, I suspect that they escaped the front line in some way. Only by monitoring can you cross the line of defense. You can check to see who has been in contact with the frontline area recently."

He had a guess that he didn't say just now, that is, there may have been traitors within the empire.

Since the Zerg already have intelligence, it is not too surprising that they can cooperate with people.

It's just that this guess was too shocking, so he didn't say it in front of Hector and Morrie just now.

Chase brought back a boatload of Zerg corpses, supposedly for some kind of experiment... But as far as I know, the merfolk haven't had any Zerg experiments before."

Rong Heng pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and said half-truth: "Lucian, your news network is better than I thought."

Lucien bowed slightly: "The Presbyterian Church has been waiting for sixteen years, and I must be able to do my part for His Highness."

Rong Heng just mentioned it casually, skipped the topic, and said, "Then you will send someone to Melchers to investigate."

"Follow your orders." After Lucian responded, he bowed again and cut off the communication.

After seeing Mr. Rong and Hector leave, Ruan Shiqing went to the backyard to see the cubs.

The three cubs who just returned home are curiously surrounding the strange cub sitting on the small chair.

The green-haired cub put his hands on his knees, his head drooped, and the tentacles on his forehead shook slightly.

The little fox stretched out his finger and gently poked the other's arm: "What's your name? Is it the new brother?"

"I have that too!"

He even leaned forward, trying to collide with the other party.

The little mermaid pulled him gently and gestured with her hand: Don't scare him.

The little dragon cub gave up regretfully.

"What are you doing?" Ruan Shiqing stood in the backyard passage and smiled at them.

"Dad!"

Three little cubs surrounded his legs, Xiaolong cub hugged his legs, raised his head and asked: "Is that the new brother? Why does he ignore us?"

The little fox wagged its big tail happily: "I'm going to be a sister!"

"He hasn't learned to speak yet." Ruan Shiqing hesitated, and so many cubs explained.

In these days of getting along, he is sure that the cub can make sounds, but he doesn't seem to speak, and only occasionally makes some vague syllables.

The little mermaid was also very curious, and used the communicator to type: [What's his name? Where did it come from? ]

"I found it by myself. As for the name..." Ruan Shiqing reacted after realizing it, but he forgot to name the cub: "I haven't had time to get it."

He walked to the cub who looked up at him, crouched down and asked, "Did you have a name? If not, can I get you one?"

The cub stared at him, then nodded slowly.

Ruan Shiqing touched his head, thought for a while, touched the tentacles on his forehead, and said, "Just call him Ruan Jiao? In ancient human language, arrogance and horn are homophonic."

He slowed down and read the cub's name again: "Ruan... arrogant."

The cub looked at him, opened his mouth like him, and made slurred syllables. Although it was very vague, Ruan Shiqing could tell that he was missing "Ruan Jiao".

After being able to make only vague syllables twice in a row, the cub closed his mouth low and his tentacles hung down, no longer wiggling gently.

Touching the little cub's head, Ruan Shiqing said warmly, "Don't worry, take your time."

…

The little cubs accept the fact that there is one more cub in the family, especially the little dragon cub and the little fox who feel that they have been promoted to a new level are very rare for the new brother.

Two cubs surrounded Ruan Jiao, one taught him to call him "brother", and the other taught him to call him "sister", quite a bit like fighting in the ring. And Ruan Jiao was sitting in the chair, looking at this and looking at that, and imitated them to make syllables, but the pronunciation was so strange that no one knew whether he was studying "brother" or "sister".

But the two cubs still enjoyed it.

Often at this time, the little mermaids are holding thick books, sitting not far from them, turning a few pages, then turning to look at the playful cubs A light smile. With someone to accompany, even the boring study becomes full of fun.

The only contradiction the cubs are currently encountering is the sleep problem.

Except Snowball, all three cubs sleep in the living room. In their opinion, Xueqiu is the eldest brother, and he slept with his father before they came, so there would be no comparison.

But now Xiao Ruanjiao occupies his father's big bed and stubbornly refuses to sleep by himself.

The little dragon cub patted the little pillow, and was the first to protest: "Harry also sleeps with dad!"

"Nota too!" The little fox also hugged the pillow.

Even the little mermaid in the pool raised her hand and made an "ah" sound.

It has been a long time since the cubs slept with their dad.

The cubs who were aroused to compare, hugged their pillows and squeezed into Dad's big bed.

That is, when Ruan Shiqing was buying furniture, he deliberately bought a bed that was big enough, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to squeeze four little cubs.

Ruan Shiqing was in the middle, the little mermaid was sleeping on the left, Ruan Jiao was lying on the right, with a little fox and a little dragon cub around his neck, the whole person could not move.

He turned off the light helplessly and said, "Is it satisfied now? Go to sleep now."

The contented cubs fell asleep next to their father.
