Before leaving, Rong Heng washed Ruan Shiqing's body and put on clean clothes.
These things are usually done by 09, but if he is at home, he will do it himself.
Compared with before, the youth's body is more slender and flexible, and the skin is fairer and more delicate. Even though he knew that the other party was asleep and knew nothing about the outside world, Rong Heng still had red ears and tried his best to keep his eyes closed.
This work is both sweet and tormenting to him, and it often takes a long time to calm down after the event, but he still enjoys it.
Blow-drying and combing her hair for the other party, Rong Heng carried her sweetheart back to the bed in soft pajamas, and adjusted the angle of the pillow thoughtfully.
"I'm leaving."
When he finally wanted to leave, he hesitated, took out the medal hidden in his trouser pocket, and pressed it under the youth's pillow. It was a metal medal he had carved with his own hands, bronze, in the shape of a five-pointed star, with the initials of the Star of Maine and the family coat of arms of Ymir.
This is what he carved when he missed Ruan Shiqing on the way back.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles they faced in the past, they always fought side by side. But this time, Ruan Shiqing was absent. He always wanted to do something to keep this period of time, so that when Ruan Shiqing woke up, he could tell him that although he was not able to participate in these battles, they did not leave him behind.
At last he carved a medal.
The glory of victory is engraved on it, and it is also engraved with thoughts that he cannot express.
"Wait for me to come back." He leaned down as usual and dropped a light kiss.
This time it was not on the corner of the mouth, but on the lips. He was not good at kissing, and was a little shy, so he rubbed his lips lightly twice, and then he covered his soft lips, his ears blushed, and he left like a thief.
The war with the Zerg is far more difficult and protracted than imagined.
More and more planets have been attacked by Zerg, but the empire is becoming more and more ignorant. Since Si Yan recovered from his injuries and appeared in front of people again, he has completely taken off his hypocrisy. With the support of the four major chaebols, he has concentrated all his troops on Skarn Star, vowing to completely capture Mel. In the Chess Region, lay down the Scarlet Star.
And Sky Blue Star was naturally unwilling to be beaten passively, united with the nine-tailed fox clan of Star Tutar, and pulled many surrounding planets into the water one after another, stirring the pool of water even more.
The peace of the past is completely broken. Except for the central region, the rest and the planets under the jurisdiction of the major administrative regions are in dire straits. There are Zerg threats outside and forced conscription inside. The war has cast a shadow on everyone's mind, and the protests on the holographic network are getting fiercer day by day.
Online protests eventually turned into real demonstrations.
Many ordinary people united to list the sins of the Siyan government, accuse the government and the military of various inactions, and demanded the emperor abdicate; some people began to form their own forces, trying to form a new government and Armed with self-rescue...
All kinds of organizations and churches have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and they have begun to absorb civilians who are either angry or desperate to strengthen their own strength.
And among them, the Holy Legion developed the most rapidly. They slandered the empire, fanned the racial and class antagonisms, and bewitched many disaffected civilians to join the Holy Legion. He also proclaimed the doctrine that "the creator rules everything, and all races that are not illuminated by divine light will perish", claiming that only by accepting the creator's guidance and establishing a holy empire can we survive the dark age, stay away from suffering, and obtain redemption.
On the way to interstellar rescue, Rong Heng occasionally pays attention to the news on the holographic network and pays attention to the state of the empire. But more often, he was busy fighting with the Zerg.
The front line of defense was completely useless, and the Zerg came and went to the empire star field like no one. It seems that the previous attacks have tasted the sweetness. They no longer attacked on a single line, but fought on multiple sides.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the rescue, Rong Heng did not bring the cubs himself again and again. He scattered the cubs, and at first he would let them go out with Hector or a few captains, and later After the shortage of manpower, let the more experienced cubs lead the rescue alone.
In the arsenal of the B3024 star behind and the military base of the unknown star next door, workers, robots and production equipment worked day and night to produce warships, batches of weapons and ammunition to ensure rescue.
After the military base was fully operational, anti-material warships and weapons were also produced one after another, greatly improving the efficiency of rescue and combat, and greatly reducing casualties.
But even so, the rescue efforts are still in limbo.
In order to relieve the rescue pressure of B3024 star, Rong Heng proposed to stop free rescue. After that, every time a planet was rescued, he would reach an agreement with the rescued planet to let it join the Eastern Alliance, promising that if there is a nearby planet in the future Other planets were attacked by Zerg, and these planets that had received rescues were obliged to provide rescue to the attacked planets.
He not only wants to protect these planets from the ravages of the Zerg, but also hopes that they can protect themselves. After all, a single power is limited, but if these planets can unite and help each other, it is not without a chance of winning against the Zerg.
Originally, this work should be done by the imperial government, but Si Yan focused on the civil war, so Rong Heng took over the burden of rebuilding the defense line.
In the beginning, only a few planets were willing to join. Later, as the Eastern Alliance became more and more invincible in the face of Zerg, more and more planets were willing to join the Rescue Alliance, even some remote ones. And the small planets that are not strong enough, take the initiative to apply to join.
Later, with the B3024 star as the center, a huge star domain network was established, and the AI that manages and monitors this star domain network is Noah with extremely high authority.
All planets joining the Eastern Alliance will report their coordinates as soon as they find traces of the Zerg, and nearby planets will take the initiative to send reinforcements. Arrive in time and assist them in slaughtering the Zerg.
In just half a year, one-fifth of the planets in the empire joined the Eastern Alliance. Relying on these planets, Rong Heng initially established a new line of defense within the empire's territory.
He couldn't remember how many planets he had rescued. All he knew was that the glass jar by Ruan Shiqing's bedside and the star medals he carved by himself was almost full.
Ruan Yuebai, Heri, and Nuota have all been able to stand on their own. The code names that were once printed on the wanted list have now become the names of heroes; even Ruan Jiao, who has never grown, has gradually grown. big. Under Garland's continuous research, he began to learn how to control his spiritual power. When he released his spiritual power, the low-level Zerg he created did not dare to disobey his orders.
He didn't know where to find an ancient recipe for making wine, and made wine with fallen star fruit. Every time before Rong Heng and the cubs left, they would fill them with a large bottle of Falling Star Wine with a golden and translucent color.
Everything is getting better, only Ruan Shiqing has never woken up.
After Ruan Shiqing tried his best to reach the water, he finally woke up from that long dream.
It's just that something went wrong in the middle. When he woke up, he was not in star B3024, but in his original world.
He was lying on the single bed in the dormitory of the research institute, with the vibrating communicator beside him.
—He's back to the step-by-step life he once had.
It is not easy to raise children, so as to relax the tense nerves.
He should have been happy, but he finally returned to a familiar place from an unfamiliar world.
But whenever he heard his colleagues talk about raising children, he would think of a few well-behaved and sensible cubs. Although the cubs have grown up, they are still cubs psychologically and are very clingy. Now he suddenly came back, and I don't know if they can take care of themselves.
And Rong Heng, he must be in a hurry.
Ruan Shiqing thought of the ambiguity that he had not had time to break before, and felt a touch of regret in his heart. He accidentally smashed the other person's mind, but he didn't feel disgusted. I even found that when the other party always took the opportunity to be intimate with him, I thought he was very cute, and couldn't help but cooperate and deliberately tease him.
Although he has never been in love, he is not a young man who does not understand anything. He originally thought to see how long Rong Heng could endure. If the other party really can't take that step, it's better to let him do it.
Unfortunately, there is no chance.
Ruan Shiqing sighed and dragged her way back to the dormitory.
Familiar colleagues greeted him, and he nodded with a smile. But after returning to the dormitory, he was still surrounded by a strong sense of loneliness, unable to breathe.
He was sitting in front of the desk, on the light-brained screen in front of him, the design drawings that needed to be worked overtime had been opened, but he just stared blankly, wondering where he had wandered.
When I come back to my senses, an hour has passed.
Sighing again, Ruan Shiqing simply turned off the design software, hesitated for a while, opened the search box, and searched for the information of the Galactic Empire.
B3024 Star, Sikkim, Drift Jupiter... Familiar names appeared in the search box, but nothing was found. He turned to search for names, trying to find the novel he remembered, but to no avail.
Disappointed, he closed the light brain, he closed his eyes with force, and opened the light brain after a while, desperately searching for "how to wear a book" and "how to cross it again after crossing back" ".
I found some posts, but they were all made up by netizens, and they were useless.
Ruan Shiqing stared blankly at the optical brain interface. After a long time, he leaned back and raised his hand to cover his eyes.
The desire to go back was stronger than ever, but he could not find any information related to that world.
He seemed to be on an isolated island and could no longer find a sense of belonging.
After a long period of slump, Ruan Shiqing regained his energy. He carefully recalled the information that the two worlds might be related to, and after a long time, he entered "Blue Star" in the search box.
