AGTCTCC Chapter 44

Squeak…

A teeth-aching sound of a door opening.

After opening the door, Ning Li An first stepped aside to make way for “Wu Zhen” to enter.

“Wu Zhen” was also not polite in the slightest.

After entering the room, in a square corner, a pile of things was heaped together.

Ning Li An hadn’t said a word from the beginning, if you ignored the slow rise and fall of his chest, you would really think he was a lifeless puppet.

“Wu Zhen” reached out, his fingers caressing his chin, using force to rub a mask off his face.

He held the mask in his hand, his fair and beautiful fingertips rubbing the equally beautiful features on it.

There was another room inside, and upon pushing the door open, the first thing that caught the eye was a huge Healing Pod.

Qi Xiao was quietly staying inside.

She opened her eyes and saw who had come, then lowered her eyes and head. Behind the newcomer, Ning Li An stood by the door, his seemingly very thin body half-hidden and half-lit.

Qi Xiao: “Is it done?”

Ning Li An spoke: “Yes.”

Hearing Ning Li An’s voice, Qi Xiao’s eyes widened slightly, then her movements suddenly became larger, looking at the person in front of her with what could be described as disgust.

She tried her best to suppress the tremor in her voice, questioning.

“Why are you still controlling Lao Ning!”

That person still didn’t speak, leaving Ning Li An to do the work.

“I don’t like this word… but I promised I wouldn’t lay a hand on you.”

“I don’t understand why you keep such a stupid man by your side, even burdening you for over six hundred years.”

Qi Xiao answered irrelevantly: “If you hurt Lao Ning, you know how crazy I’ll get.”

That person didn’t seem to care much, beckoning to Ning Li An.

“He’ll be with you tonight, as a reward.”

Behind him, Ning Li An’s steps were slow and heavy, walking in front of Qi Xiao, his always lowered eyelids lifted at this moment, looking directly at Qi Xiao.

The shadow cast by the fine bangs in front of his forehead covered his eyes, making them appear very dull.

Across the Healing Pod, Qi Xiao traced Ning Li An’s outline with her eyes.

But when her gaze touched that still young and handsome face, she would always fearfully move her gaze away quickly, not daring to look at those eyes.

“…”

Lin Wu was so busy that his feet didn’t touch the ground, a pile of material reports stacked up on his desk, and at this time, he even received inquiries from above about Sang Quan Shi Li’s situation, making him frantic.

Lin Wu: “Director, Sang Quan’s fever hasn’t gone down, and the test results may be inaccurate now.”

The director only replied with four words.

[Try to overcome it.]

Lin Wu: “…”

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Xiang Li and Chu Qi came to knock on the door at this time. Lin Wu, seeing it was the two of them, secretly closed and locked the door.

Even though he knew the hospital was soundproof, he still whispered.

“Why are you two here? Not feeling well? Or can Xiang Li not hear again?”

As he spoke, Lin Wu’s eyes scanned them up and down.

Xiang Li’s hearing had recovered to about 70-80%, and even without the metal patch, he could barely hear some things.

At this moment, he had his hands in his pockets, completely treating Lin Wu’s office as his own home, finding a chair to sit down.

Chu Qi glanced at Xiang Li, and only after the other party sat upright did he explain.

“We want to get Xing Zi out.”

Lin Wu: “?”

Lin Wu faced his palm towards himself, gently patting his ear.

“What, I think I couldn’t hear just now.”

Chu Qi: “The commander has been keeping Xing Zi locked in the interrogation room. You also know Xing Zi’s situation. We want to get him out.”

Lin Wu pointed at himself with his index finger, his tone both doubtful and shocked.

“Relying on me?”

Xiang Li stood up at this moment, put his arm around Lin Wu’s shoulder, grinning.

“Naturally, without you, we wouldn’t be able to contact Deputy Commander Shen.”

So now, Lin Wu was carrying a medical kit with a numb expression, followed by two people in white coats, empty-handed.

Guarding soldier: “Why is Doctor Lin here?”

Lin Wu’s voice was cold and stiff: “The superiors asked me to come and test Deputy Commander Xing’s blood and Spiritual Power to avoid accidents.”

The guarding soldier naturally couldn’t just listen to Lin Wu’s side of the story, and still checked Lin Wu’s credentials and the commander’s pass signature. Chu Qi had prepared these in advance.

After the soldier checked and found no problems, he opened the door and let them in.

The depths of the interrogation room were connected to the bedroom, where prisoners were usually held.

Xing Zi Mu was unusual, his interrogation room was significantly larger than others, and so was the bed.

Xiang Li looked around.

It looked like a double interrogation room had been temporarily converted, this treatment… it could only be said that he was indeed Commander Xing Qing Kun’s only grandson.

Xing Zi Mu recognized Chu Qi and Lin Wu at a glance when he saw the three people who came in, but he frowned and glanced in Xiang Li’s direction.

At this moment, Xiang Li was wearing a mask, and most of his face was covered by a mask, so it was normal not to recognize him.

Chu Qi seemed to know what he was thinking, and took the initiative to explain.

“Xiang Li, he put something on his face.”

Xing Zi Mu: “Oh.”

Xing Zi Mu: “How did you guys get in? Didn’t the old guy say he wouldn’t let you see me?”

Xiang Li said smugly: “Of course I have a way.”

As he said that, he stepped forward, his index finger about three centimeters away from the other’s forehead.

A strand of black Spiritual Power slowly emerged from his fingertip, like a newborn life, one end probing around restlessly.

Sometimes the direction was wrong, and his entire head leaned towards Lin Wu, and Xiang Li had to adjust him back.

After he finally struggled to get in front of Xing Zi Mu, a small wisp of smoke-like thing swaggered around in place.

Xiang Li: “Reach out your hand.”

Xing Zi Mu stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and the black smoke rushed to Xing Zi Mu’s wrist in a puff of smoke.

Thanks to the visible blue-purple blood vessels on Xing Zi Mu’s fair palm, everyone could observe the small lumps that bulged one after another due to the peristalsis under the blood vessels, which was very obvious.

Lin Wu: “…”

A little scary.

Xiang Li pressed his index and middle fingers together on the most vigorously peristaltic part of Xing Zi Mu, and only let go after it calmed down.

Xiang Li gestured to Lin Wu with his eyes: “It’s your turn.”

Chu Qi reached out his hand to Xiang Li, who had walked in front of him, his eyes fixed on him.

The latter generously looked back, held that hand, and winked at Chu Qi, indicating that he was fine.

Chu Qi, who just wanted to check Xiang Li’s pulse: “…”

Thanks to this artificially forged “evidence”, Lin Wu marked and described [an unknown reaction] on Xing Zi Mu’s test report.

Before long, Xing Zi Mu was urgently transferred to the hospital.

After that, Lin Wu retested under the guise of “my eyes were blurred.”

When the results were all fine, everyone thought it would be fine, but they didn’t expect another possibility to appear.

The commander didn’t let Xing Zi Mu go back to the interrogation room, but sent him home, another form of “interrogation room.”

Although the result was somewhat different from the plan, it was still a rescue.

Yan Zhou Ping had changed several Source Stones in his chest, and he planned to keep doing this until the attack on Planet C079 ended.

There was still no news about Bai Yan.

Ten days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day to attack Planet C079.

In the military academy base, since the last incident of the academy’s disappearance, the atmosphere was once depressed, and everyone tacitly increased the intensity of training.

Among the students who were found back that day, only Ke Shi Zhuo, who had just gone there not long ago, had not been touched, and the situation of the others was not optimistic.

Some were even still lying in the hospital, soaked in Healing Liquid.

Most importantly, they hadn’t found Ke Man’s figure.

“As soldiers, being able to die for the Empire should be the glory in our hearts. I’ll put it this way, tomorrow, those who are afraid of death, speak up in advance.”

Hu Zi Mo shouted loudly.

In front of him was a group of soldiers in full gear, and their response was deafening.

“Human interests above all else!”

Xing Qing Kun, as a commander, just watched from behind, with Xing Zi Mu, who hadn’t shown up for a long time, beside him.

The second test result of Sang Quan Shi Li was normal, but the Empire still conducted blood and Spiritual Power tests on all humans in the base to prevent accidents.

The management finally breathed a sigh of relief when the test results showed that there were no carriers of the pollution virus.

Xing Zi Mu’s first reaction when he saw Shen Gui was to roll his eyes, but this thought was suppressed by Xing Zi Mu as soon as it appeared.

He was used to seeing old men at home.

Shen Gui, who prided himself on understanding what the other party meant with just a look after more than ten years of getting along, and that the two were the other’s soulmate: “…”

For the first time, he was a little unsure of Xing Zi’s thoughts.

Was this a flirtatious glance or a simple eye twitch?

On the other side, Xiang Li and Yan Zhou Ping were also working hard to prepare for tomorrow’s battle.

The timing of Qi Xiao’s matter was excellent, and twenty days had passed, which was exactly the day when they were closest to the Polluted Entity.

The weakening period was just a name they made up on the spot. Before, they directly called it the special period.

This period was the process of them abandoning their minds and gradually assimilating with the Polluted Entity.

And in it, [death] was the side effect of immortality, and the pain was like a rusty saw repeatedly pulling at the withered branches of winter.

They would not die, but at this time, everyone would not hesitate to give themselves a “death method.”

For example, Qi Xiao’s “heart gouging” was their favorite and the most chosen method.

Yan Zhou Ping packed the things at hand, glanced at Xiang Li, who was making a lot of noise.

Yan Zhou Ping: “What’s wrong?”

Xiang Li immediately approached Yan Zhou Ping when he heard him ask, crossed his hands and lay on the experimental table, sighing with regret.

“Lao Yan, after tomorrow, we won’t be able to come to the Main Star anymore.”

Yan Zhou Ping also knew that he was going to say this, and kept his hands moving.

Yan Zhou Ping: “Qi Xiao and Ning Li An will definitely be there tomorrow to attack Planet C079. We just need to take the opportunity to capture the two and bring them back to C079, and then hide them.”

He repeated tomorrow’s plan to remind Xiang Li, his tone somewhat earnest: “Now Planet C079 is a treasure in the eyes of humans.”

“Who doesn’t want longevity, who doesn’t want to be strong, especially in the current environment, where Polluted Entities are rampant, and survival has become very ethereal.”

Yan Zhou Ping: “Isn’t the fact that the Main Star is attacking Planet C079 just illustrating the answer to this question? They just want to study us.”

“C079 is still suitable for hiding.” He sighed.

Xiang Li thought what he said made sense, and gently tilted his head on his arm.

“What about Bai Yan?”

Yan Zhou Ping: “Bai Yan is clever, even if we don’t see him on the battlefield tomorrow, he will definitely find a way to escape. Yu Han will contact us.”

Speaking of this, Yan Zhou Ping thought of something again, but opened his mouth several times and didn’t know how to say it.

Xiang Li lowered his eyes and looked at the metal pattern on the table, not noticing the complicated look in Yan Zhou Ping’s eyes.

Yan Zhou Ping frowned, and finally asked.

“What are you and Chu Qi going to do?”

Xiang Li “hmm”ed in confusion, not knowing why it was brought up to Chu Qi.

Xiang Li: “He likes me, and I like him very much too.”

Yan Zhou Ping: “But there’s no future for you two.”

Xiang Li raised his head in confusion.

“We’ve had a lot of fun during this time. Isn’t separation something that can’t be helped?”
