MTL - I Heard That I Am a Scumbag, God of War Alpha-Chapter 57 progress
Before Ming Zhou was executed, he finally let go and provided another piece of information—
He explained that the smuggling route arranged by Quantum Life is a starship that transports and processes radioactive waste between different star fields.
This narrowed down the scope a lot. During the time period at the airport, there was only one starship that met the requirements to apply for a special channel to leave the port.
But considering Mingzhou's IQ, it's hard to say whether this starship is a cover designed by Quantum Life.
But the person in charge of the intelligence department still decided: "No matter what, immediately arrange for people to follow its migration route to track it. The operation should be as concealed as possible, and no surprises can be made. Once any abnormalities are found, report them as soon as possible."
After the relevant personnel were ordered, they rushed to Cape Town as soon as possible.
At the same time, on the other hand, the investigation continues in an orderly manner.
Cape Town is close to the border, so the military can dispatch more prisoners who have been safely controlled, and the search progress can be accelerated a lot.
During the meeting in the afternoon, all parties took turns reporting information and progress.
There are not many people in the military meeting room, and Chen E is the one with the highest status. The young Alpha was sitting facing the holographic projection, with his hands on the table, his posture was indifferent and upright.
After listening, Chen E looked down at Guangnao. He said:
"I have another question. Apart from parasitizing on human beings, is there another possibility for quantum life - hiding in a desolate asteroid?"
Academician Shen said: "It is possible."
Quantum life does not need to eat, like a virus, it can maintain its activity for a long time. There are even dormant instincts that survive extreme situations.
The atmosphere at the meeting was suddenly silent.
Chen E raised his eyes, and said in a stern tone: "Then we can't just focus on the human gathering place, and the no-man's land around the third, seventh, and thirteenth planets must also be thoroughly investigated.
"If you need manpower, tell me later, and I will be transferred from the border guards."
The person in charge of the intelligence department saluted: "Yes."
So the meeting ended like this.
Chen E always pays attention to efficiency when working, and uses the shortest time to finalize the required number of people and time with the person in charge.
Then the order was forwarded to the border, and the response there was fast, and all the details were arranged immediately.
On the way back to his office, he received another communication request from Academician Shen.
Chen E walked into the room and closed the door behind his back. In the confined space, the holographic projection of Academician Shen wearing a white coat was reflected.
"Major General Chen, I have some ideas."
"Please say."
Academician Shen showed a worried look: "This escaped quantum life has the ability to be many times stronger than its kind. If the border guards come into close contact with it, I am worried that there will be risks."
"learn."
Academician Shen hesitated, hesitating to speak.
Chen E said, "Academician Shen, I understand what you mean."
Chen E's voice was low, and his tone of voice was also light, but it always sounded with a firm and strong position.
Like a natural controller.
After all, the opposite side is an excellent Alpha that has regained the border and has been tempered by the flames of war. Academician Shen calmed down a little and said with a smile: "It seems that Major General Chen is ready, so I won't say more."
Chen E hummed and hung up the call.
He had previously seen the complete research report submitted by the Academy of Sciences.
Quantum life can withstand all kinds of extreme conditions, and its internal structure is stable. According to calculations and experiments, it is necessary to use restrictive weapons with extremely strong penetrating power to completely destroy them.
Back then at the border, Commander Chen E participated in so many battles. Today is the first time, encountering such an unpredictable opponent.
It has ambition and action. But without a definite shape, it looks like a wandering ghost among the stars.
Its purpose is so obvious that anyone can see it. The vast star map in Chen Eguang's mind is connected together, among which Cape Town is sparsely populated, rich in natural resources, and is an important transportation hub.
If it successfully infiltrates and slowly takes root here, multiplying and infecting the next batch of rebels—
That would create another long period of turmoil and catastrophe.
As for why Zhuang Yan became the target of parasites in the first place.
When I went to the Ministry of National Defense a few days ago, Chen E and Zhuang Jin had a private analysis. Although Zhuang Jin is usually unreliable, he has a hundred hearts when facing his younger brother.
Zhuang Jin said clearly: "I always feel that this may have a lot to do with my mother. But don't tell me, Xiaoyan and my mother will think too much."
Chen E glanced at him expressionlessly.
"My mother was just appointed as an academician at that time, and she has the future development plan and internal policy information of the Federation. And Xiaoyan happened to be divided again. Her pheromone and physical condition are unstable, and she is easy to be parasitized."
"And you." Chen E said.
Zhuang Jin frowned.
"You also joined the Ministry of Defense at that time."
"..."
The mother of a high-level design institute, and an older brother who works in the Ministry of Defense and is exposed to federal security information every day.
Quantum life probably wants to use Zhuang Yan as a breakthrough to obtain the information it needs.
Zhuang Jin cursed, took out the cigarette case sullenly, took one for himself, then turned to ask Chen E if he smoked.
Chen E refused: "Xiao Yan doesn't like second-hand smoke."
"..."
"He didn't complain to you because he has a better temper."
The short-lived harmonious atmosphere was broken again, Zhuang Jin sneered: "Okay, then I'll go out and smoke by myself."
It can be said that he said so, but he didn't move his legs in a hurry.
Zhuang Jin squeezed the cigarette in his hand, and reluctantly spoke again.
"Chen E," he squinted, "You are the person in charge of this matter now, I have no intention of interfering with your decision-making, but—"
Chen E frowned, waiting for Zhuang Jin to continue.
"But I don't worry about that thing. It's too dangerous. In case the frontier defense army doesn't handle it properly in this process, it will leave some hidden dangers that no one will find out.
"This time it's Xiaoyan who suffers, so what price do we have to pay next time?"
The meaning in the subtext is already obvious, Zhuang Jin shouldn't have said so much.
However, the use of restricted weapons is not an easy decision after all.
The central star is not the same as the frontier. Chen E can kill decisively at the border and say the same thing. In order to minimize the risk, he directly adopts the most radical means.
But there are so many people watching Central Star. When a **** in his hand falls, there are countless conflicts of interest.
Chen E's tone was very light: "I will handle it well."
"...All right." Zhuang Jin said.
A lot of time was delayed by various things, and it was past eight o'clock when Chen E arrived home.
It was supposed to wait for Zhuang Yan to come home, but now the lights in the room are on, and Omega is sitting on the sofa watching the course video.
"Small banquet."
Zhuang Yan's face looked very soft under the lamp, and he didn't mean to be unhappy. He paused the video, stood up and went to meet his Alpha.
"You're back."
"Ok."
"Have you had dinner?"
He probably forgot, but Chen E was silent for half a second, intending to say that he had already eaten.
Before the words could be spoken, Zhuang Yan held his hand and shook it.
"By the way, I brought some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from home. I made it myself. Do you want to try it?"
"it is good."
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was in the refrigerator, and Zhuang Yan stepped on his slippers and walked over to get it.
He had showered and changed into pajamas, and when he bent over to pick up something, the neckline slid loosely, revealing a patch of porcelain-white skin.
Chen E followed a few steps behind. After Zhuang Yan stood up, she lifted his collar for him.
Zhuang Yan: "...?"
Chen E didn't speak, and directly took the lunch box containing the osmanthus cake. Too lazy to go to the restaurant, so he leaned against the kitchen counter, opened the lid and took a piece.
Because he was afraid of being seen by Zhuang Yan, he deliberately slowed down the speed of eating.
Zhuang Yan raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation: "How is it?"
"good."
Zhuang Yan said complainingly: "Really? Chen E, you have never given any evaluation other than good."
Chen E thought for a while and said seriously: "Osmanthus fragrans is very fragrant."
So Zhuang Yan pursed his lips and laughed, and took a piece himself.
It was midsummer again, it was extremely hot outside, and there were loud cicadas singing in the grass.
It's pretty cool in the room because the air conditioner is on.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake melts in the mouth, with a soft and cold sweetness.
Chen E's slightly frowned eyebrows gradually relaxed, and his eyes fell on Zhuang Yan.
He casually talked about the current progress with Zhuang Yan—after all, among all things, his Omega is the most innocent and unfortunate victim, and Zhuang Yan has the right to know everything.
Zhuang Yan ate osmanthus cake and listened quietly.
Then he took a small piece of pastry with a fork and handed it to Chen E's mouth.
Alpha was startled, showing an unaccustomed blankness. Half a second later, he lowered his head and bit off the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
He heard Zhuang Yan say softly: "Chen E, I believe in you."
This sentence is extremely simple, but very heavy.
In his decades of life, Chen E rarely obtained such pure love and trust without any strings attached.
After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Chen E washed the lunch box and put it on the shelf.
He turned his head and asked Zhuang Yan: "Are you near the end of term?"
"…how do you know?"
Chen E: "408 told me."
After the end of term is summer vacation, and Zhuang Yan's birthday is in August.
Chen E asked again: "After the exam, is there any birthday present you want?"
Zhuang Yan couldn't help laughing, watched Chen E wipe his hands clean, then frowned and looked at himself.
Alpha is obviously very bad at coaxing people, and has little experience in trying to please Omega. After asking and asking, it was always such a boring line.
After laughing, his heart softened again, Zhuang Yan said seriously: "I can't figure it out, didn't you just give me a necklace?"
"...Then give me another one?"
"Too much."
Chen E was silent for two or three seconds, and then asked uncertainly: "Do you think there are too many necklaces?"
Zhuang Yan still wanted to laugh, so he turned around to hide it. By the way, they took Chen E's hand and went back to the sofa in the living room together.
Alpha's hand strength is obviously stronger than his, and the usually cold and strong man now shows a conniving and docile appearance.
Zhuang Yan said: "By the way, you promised last time that you would drink with me."
Chen E couldn't tell whether Zhuang Yan was joking or a serious request.
But anyway, it’s not difficult to be satisfied. He said, “Let’s wait until I finish my work. It’s not very convenient now. If I get drunk, I won’t be able to go back to the military headquarters in time.”
Zhuang Yan thought to himself that Chen E was quite aware of his drinking capacity, and he was even mentally prepared to be drunk.
Beautiful Omega squinted her eyes: "Well, don't worry, we'll talk about it when you're free."
During this period of time, before the end of the term officially comes, there is actually another thing happening—
The announcement period for the semi-finals of the Design Innovation Contest is finally over.
There is a letter in the mailbox, which is an electronic invitation letter for the finals.
Before Zhuang Yan opened, he received a bombarding message from classmate Xiao Qin.
"Ah, here we come, Xiaoyan, the final is here!"
"Did you read the email? I'm so nervous."
Zhuang Yan: "Don't be nervous."
Then I posted an emoji package of a cat grunting and shaking its fur. gif.
Qin Heyu: "I don't care, I want you to watch it first! Xiao Yan, take a quick look at yours. What kind of finals did they set?"
Every year the finals are the highlight.
For example, the difficulty level of the preliminary round is five, and the difficulty level of the rematch is ten. When it comes to the finals, in some years, the difficulty factor can even rise all the way to fifty.
Zhuang Yan cooperated in a good-tempered manner, and took pictures for Qin Heyu at the same time.
When you open the email, you will see the holographic video displayed in front of you.
The design innovation competition has been held for more than ten years, and the excellent works are flashed every year. Zhuang Yan stood where he was, with the lights and shadows flickering on and off, reflecting brilliant colors on his cheeks.
I remember that when I was young, Ning Huabi was also in charge of several of the competitions. At that time, Zhuang Yan looked up at other people's beautiful holographic models, and his heart was full of admiration and admiration.
But looking back now, he could have done the same—
Before I turned nineteen, I encountered some insignificant ups and downs.
But Zhuang Yan has actually slowly become what he most yearned for back then.
After the video, comes the topic. There were not many words, Zhuang Yan held his breath and watched.
"Participating students should choose their own theme and play freely."
This proposition is simply unprecedentedly broad, and Zhuang Yan couldn't help being stunned.
In the ear, classmate Xiao Qin screamed from a distance: "What is this, wait for Xiaoyan, you move the camera over and let me see the timetable."
After the camera moved over, Qin Heyu breathed a sigh of relief: "I submitted the topic two months later, it's okay, I perfectly avoided the end-of-term Shura field, and it will take a long time."
His sudden nervous reaction is always very funny, Zhuang Yan suppressed a smile, pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"No." Xiao Qin said, "Isn't this just a question, how about you?"
Zhuang Yan also shook his head.
It's still early, it's not time to sleep. Qin Heyu sat cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, flipping through the answers to the concept questions in the design class, and chatting with Zhuang Yan casually.
He said that the cake branch of the cake shop in front of the school had closed down, and now it started selling milk tea and drinks wholeheartedly, and the business has improved a lot.
As well as the punks from X University, because Ming Zhou was secretly executed, they are leaderless, and they are all sluggish.
"It's a good thing," Qin Heyu commented, "I'm happy for the serious students of X University."
He didn't pay much attention to financial and financial news. If he read it, he would know that not only the gangsters, but also the Ming family had been implicated and hit.
In the bidding project of the new airport, the Ming family, which was bound to win, became the first one out.
"It is indeed a good thing." Zhuang Yan echoed.
"Wait." Qin Heyu said suddenly.
Zhuang Yan looked up at the camera and raised his head.
Qin Heyu's expression was mixed with embarrassment and shame. He asked, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyan, I... I am just a little concerned and a little curious."
Zhuang Yan:?
"Speaking of which, how is your relationship going?"
Classmate Xiao Qin asked hesitantly: "Is it because my eyes and nose are not right? Why do you seem to have never been marked like that?"
