Chapter 49: The Sang Ji Lin Couple

    For some reason, Sang Quan Shi Li’s tears also fell abruptly.

    Ning Li An: “…”

    He reached out and quietly wiped away Sang Quan Shi Li’s tears.

    Xing Zi Mu, who witnessed everything, watched the scene in front of him. Something flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered when he had heard it before.

    Ning Li An had his back to him, so he could only see his back. He turned his head to look at Qi Xiao in front of the control console.

    Impossible. He thought.

    A trace of heartache seemed to flash across the woman’s face, her brow furrowing slightly as she stared at the two people at the door.

    Sang Quan Shi Li felt his face being rubbed by the other person, the movements were very light. He didn’t dare to move, his gaze passing through Ning Li An in front of him to look at Xing Zi Mu.

    The other person shook his head lightly at him.

    Sang Quan Shi Li took a big step back. He was just about to do something when he saw Ning Li An suddenly step forward, a strong burning smell in his breath.

    The next second, Sang Quan Shi Li fainted.

    Ning Li An just managed to catch the falling body and took the person out. Qi Xiao didn’t say a word from beginning to end.

    “After so many years, he doesn’t seem to have grown much, his mind is still immature.”

    Xing Zi Mu withdrew his gaze and turned to Qi Xiao, who looked at him and said.

    Xing Zi Mu: “…”

    After Xiang Li and Hill left, Planet C079 suddenly became much quieter. Only Xue Hu Su’s loud voice could be heard daily.

    Ning Le pushed the door open and came in, looking at the wounded man on the bed, holding a simple medicine box in her hand.

    There was no other way, they never had to worry about getting injured.

    Ning Le: “Xue Hu Su got too excited and lost control of his emotions, he exploded again. Bai Yan is piecing his body back together. This time, I’m here to change your dressing.”

    Shen Gui nodded: “Thank you.”

    Ning Le didn’t say anything else, but her hands and feet were short, and everything seemed clumsy, but her face was cold and expressionless.

    Ning Le: “You don’t have to thank me. Your injury was caused by my father, so I’m also responsible.”

    Shen Gui: “?”

    In his shocked and confused gaze, Ning Le lowered her head and slowly said, “My father is Ning Li An.”

    She re-bandaged Shen Gui and her quiet gaze landed on Shen Gui’s face.

    “Didn’t Xiang Li and the others tell you?”

    Shen Gui: “No.”

    Ning Le lowered her head again to pack up the medicine box, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

    Shen Gui: “Are you also six hundred years old? You look very small.”

    Ning Le: “Yes, my body was too small when the laboratory exploded.”

    Shen Gui: “Won’t you grow up?”

    “No.” Ning Le said decisively, “Our genes dictate that we will not age, let alone die.”

    Shen Gui vaguely remembered Sang Quan saying that he felt Xiang Li had grown taller, but since the other party said so, he just assumed that Sang Quan was mistaken before.

    “How old were you back then?”

    Ning Le was silent for two seconds, as if she was recalling.

    “Eight years old.”

    Shen Gui was a little shocked, she was only eight years old when she was captured for experiments!

    But he still didn’t express his emotions on his face, only his clenched fingertips expressed his feelings.

    Shen Gui: “Why did Qi Xiao and your dad betray Planet C079?”

    “I don’t know, only Old Yan and Xiang Li know about this.” At this time, Ning Le finally packed up the medicine box. Before leaving, she stared at the injured person on the bed.

    “Qi Xiao is my mother.”

    Shen Gui: “I’m sorry.”

    Ning Le: “It’s okay.”

    Hill’s location was in the Beta Zone, which was the initial residential area where the Polluted Entities broke out. The situation on the Main Star was now more serious than they had seen on the virtual screen.

    Hill looked at the Polluted Entities squeezed together three meters away from him.

    “Why are you Polluted Entities so afraid of you?”

    Xiang Li glanced at him: “Can’t you locate the main base directly?”

    “I can, but I don’t have enough energy. Do you know how much energy a single jump consumes?”

    Xiang Li: “Then what are you pretending for?”

    After saying that, he ignored Hill and strode towards the surroundings.

    He had never been to the residential area, let alone now that it was surrounded by disgusting things. Looking around, everything looked the same.

    Xiang Li walked forward, and the dark mass of Polluted Entities in front of him automatically made way for the two of them, trying to maintain a “protective circle”.

    Hill suddenly felt that he was scarier than the ugly Polluted Entities around him.

    The two walked side by side, surrounded by Polluted Entities and broken tiles.

    Just then, they saw a mech in front of them that was out of place with its surroundings.

    Hill: “?”

    He stared at the semi-transparent gelatinous life form wriggling on the outer shell of the mech in front of him, frowning, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

    A black Spiritual Power flashed in Xiang Li’s eyes, and he spied the fluctuations of the human life form coming from inside the mech.

    A living person?

    Xiang Li walked over, and although Hill was puzzled, he still followed. He didn’t ignore the disgusting gazes of the surrounding Polluted Entities.

    The Polluted Entities on the mech saw Xiang Li approaching, and ran away in a panic, revealing the mechanical shell that had been mostly corroded.

    Xiang Li reached out, and black Spiritual Power solidified and pried open the mech’s outer shell. Corrosive blue smoke spewed out of the melting metal seams, along with bluish-white plasma.

    Xiang Li finally saw the person inside the mech clearly.

    Ke Shi Zhuo vaguely heard a voice, opened his eyes and saw Xiang Li’s face, and tears suddenly welled up.

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “Brother! Why are you dead too…”

    His voice grew louder and louder. If he couldn’t move at the moment, Xiang Li would have suspected that those snot and tears were appearing on his clothes.

    Hill opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally closed his eyes. The tissue he threw out carried the scent of mint and accurately hit Ke Shi Zhuo’s face.

    Out of sight, out of mind.

    Xiang Li interrupted Ke Shi Zhuo’s wailing.

    “Why are you here?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo sobbed.

    “Ke Man’s scent is nearby, I’m here to find my brother.”

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “I haven’t found anyone yet, but suddenly an outbreak of pollution occurred here, and I only had time to get back into the mech.”

    “Could Ke Man have been polluted too?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo bit his lower lip, his eyes curved and he was about to cry again, but soon he widened his eyes, his tears blurred his vision.

    “Brother!”

    He saw the pile of Polluted Entities behind Xiang Li.

    Xiang Li reached out to Hill, who telepathically threw over a pile of wet wipes, which Xiang Li stuffed into Ke Shi Zhuo’s mouth.

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “!!.”

    Xiang Li reached out and grabbed Ke Shi Zhuo’s collar, lifted him up and shook him.

    Xiang Li: “Do you know the way?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo nodded blankly, then shook his head after seeing the surrounding situation clearly.

    Xiang Li was speechless, but he still took the person with him.

    “Do you have any communication equipment on you that can contact the military academy?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo nodded vigorously when he heard this.

    “!”

    Xiang Li pulled out the wet wipes from his mouth, and the other party took out a jade pendant from his driver’s seat.

    It was a piece of jade similar to the previous “Ke Man”, except that the words on it were “Ke Shi Zhuo”.

    The jade pendant lit up in Ke Shi Zhuo’s hand, and then, in the sight of the three people, it was quiet?

    Ke Shi Zhuo tapped the jade pendant with his finger, and then looked up a little awkwardly.

    “It’s gone now.”

    Xiang Li & Hill: “…”

    Xiang Li: “Let’s go first.”

    Along the way, Ke Shi Zhuo also figured out the current situation, and then lowered his head to quietly digest the news that Xiang Li was not a human.

    Of course, Hill told Ke Shi Zhuo all of this.

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “So, my brother he…”

    Hill: “Is dead.”

    Ke Shi Zhuo pursed his lips and wanted to cry again, but he forced himself to hold back.

    “Nonsense.” He retorted softly.

    In fact, he was also unsure. All the people who had disappeared with Ke Man before were dead, and the jade pendant that Chu Qi had repaired before was broken again, even more severely than last time.

    Hill teased the child like a child.

    “Your brother doesn’t want you anymore.”

    Ke Shi Zhuo seemed angry and shouted: “Your brother doesn’t want you!”

    After saying that, he walked to Xiang Li’s side, far away from Hill.

    Hill didn’t understand Ke Shi Zhuo’s anger.

    “My brother died a long time ago, when I inherited the throne.”

    The throne? Ke Shi Zhuo turned his head again, his eyes were puzzled but he was unwilling to speak.

    Hill snorted softly, and he looked at Xiang Li, who had been silent since just now.

    Hill: “What are you thinking about, I remember you’re not a mute.”

    Xiang Li was still expressionless: “Main base archive room, there is a file in it that says ‘Humans should give way to us’, do you know?”

    Hill: “? I don’t know.”

    “This ‘us’, apart from the Zerg…”

    Hill: “It can only be you, don’t put all the blame on us Zergs.”

    “The extinction of humans is only a matter of time now, isn’t the biggest suspect you guys who can be called the same kind as the Polluted Entities?”

    Speaking of this, Ke Shi Zhuo, the only human, was dissatisfied: “What do you mean humans will be extinct sooner or later!”

    Hill glanced at him: “Isn’t the current situation obvious?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “As long as there is one human who doesn’t die, as long as there is a living being who remembers the smell of the Rose Garden on the Main Star, we will not be extinct.”

    Hill sneered: “Prize-winning guess, who do you think will be the last human to die?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “There will be no such day!”

    Hill argued with the child, and he continued to answer Xiang Li’s question.

    “I don’t know what exactly that file says, but the people who were in charge of that archive room before were the Sang Ji Lin couple.”

    “Sang Ji Lin?”

    Xiang Li’s gaze lazily swept over. Ke Shi Zhuo next to him repeated it several times, and suddenly thought of something a few seconds later, loudly.

    “I remember, Professor Sang!”

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “Sang’s teacher’s father, Professor Sang Ji Lin.”

    Xiang Li: “?”

    Sang Quan Shi Li?’s father?

    Hill nodded, and Ke Shi Zhuo asked in confusion: “But Professor Sang Ji Lin and his wife died a few years ago.”

    Hill: “The information in the archive room is likely to have been sorted out by them.”

    “Seven or six years ago, Sang Ji Lin and his wife went to other planets to conduct research due to experimental needs. A few months later, the Polluted Entities there rioted, and the entire planet was directly occupied.”

    “Later, the Main Star also sent people to search several times, but without exception, no news was ever sent back.”

    Xiang Li: “You know a lot.”

    Hill snorted softly: “And I know that the Sang Ji Lin couple were selected into the laboratory twenty years ago because of an outstanding research result, and a major event happened at that time.”

    “Someone went to the laboratory to steal the antidote, and improper operation caused all the personnel at that time to be infected. I remember that Chu Qi’s parents were among them.”

    Speaking of this, Xiang Li frowned and recalled the scene at that time.

    Hill continued.

    “At that time, the Sang Ji Lin couple were still two small experimental researchers in the laboratory. After that incident, they were promoted due to insufficient manpower.”

    “The death procedures of Chu Qi’s parents were all executed by the two of them.”

    Ke Shi Zhuo took a deep breath: “Wasn’t it reported at the time that Chu Qi’s parents were infected by the Polluted Entities outside the barrier while performing a mission, and then they committed suicide because there was no other way?”

    “I also remember that I was asked to write several essays on this theme before, to commemorate the spirit of Chu Qi’s parents sacrificing themselves for the sake of others, and the supremacy of mankind.”

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Hill: “…Fancy.”
