Chapter 19： living toxin

As a captain, an admiral of the empire, and the commander of the entire Golden Crusade, Auston's meals are no different from ordinary soldiers. He eats whatever the cafeteria has. Sometimes when he is too busy, he just takes out a pack of nutritional supplements and eats a pack. Before meeting Ryan, his food requirement was just to fill his stomach.

But the subordinates are always searching for food for the general, and if they find any good ingredients, they will definitely come to Auston's table.

Like the blue-ribbon sailfish before, the best piece of fried fish fillet, other people on the ship can't eat without paying, because the chef will cook it carefully and send it to Auston. Auston, on the other hand, will not feel any difference between this dish and other dishes. He may think that it tastes good and eat a few more bites, but he will never waste people and money because of his appetite.

If it wasn't for Ryan, he would never have known that strawberries were so delicious, so many varieties and so many ways.

The general eats strawberries?

That's not destroying the image.

No one thought of sending cute food full of pink to Auston. In their hearts, it was a thousand miles from the general's image.

Blair raised his eyebrows when he heard Strawberry, "There are strawberries on the ship?"

Ryan sat down on the bed, leaning Auston against himself, which would make him more comfortable, holding his hand tightly. Hearing Blair's question, Lane said, "I planted some in the dorm."

The ship's planting cabin will only grow vitamin-rich fruits, which are mixed with water and made into juice to supplement vitamins and trace elements for all personnel on the ship. Unlike medicine, the wonderful taste of food will bring joy to the mood. Where can I grow strawberries, a small fruit to pass the time? Among the many fruits that have been discovered by humans, strawberries are not the highest in vitamin content, nor do they have special functions.

The kind of little things that decorate the cream cake, in the eyes of many pragmatists, only have an eye-catching function.

"I like strawberries." Blair looked at Auston and emphasized it blankly.

In front of his friend, Auston smiled awkwardly, grabbed the hand beside the quilt and moved, not knowing what to say for the first time.

"Alas." Blair sighed, everything was silent, how could he expect a friend in front of love.

"Blair..."

Blair pushed the frameless eyes on the bridge of his nose, put away his carelessness, and said, "Auston, your wound is healing."

"The antidote has not yet been found for the toxin of the female worm." Auston also turned serious. He looked at Blair, "Are you sure my wound is healing?"

"Don't question my judgment." Blair was excited, trembling all over, and walked around the bed in a frenzy. "This is a great discovery that absolutely shocked the world."

Humans do not know which planet the Zerg, the overlord of the universe, came from. They plundered human beings in a tyrannical and savage way. Every time they passed through a planet, they ate up everything on the planet. Humans, animals, plants, and even all kinds of minerals had no effect on food. scruples. What they leave behind are devastated worlds with almost no survivors. They are one of the biggest enemies in the universe of human exploration. Of course, there is also an enemy of human beings themselves.

The Zerg relies on their body comparable to the mecha and the poison glands of the female insect. After hundreds of years of struggle with the Zerg, humans have invented and created weapons that can destroy the Zerg body, but they have not yet developed an antidote to the Zerg toxin.

There are many reasons why the antidote is difficult to study. The most important one is that the Zerg have strong fertility and lack wisdom to fight against the developing human beings with an unparalleled reproductive advantage. The toxins continue to evolve in the reproduction of the Zerg horror, and the complexity increases geometrically.

Auston's wound is the first time Blair has ever known that he is recovering.

"I want to see strawberries!" He stood abruptly, his sharp eyes looking straight at Ryan, "What magic does your strawberry have to have such an effect. Once the substance that inhibits toxins is discovered, it is in For the benefit of all mankind, our names will go down in history."

Ryan doesn't care much about whether he can make a name for himself in the history, he cares about Auston's body, "Doctor, you said that the toxins in Auston's body are being metabolized, and his wounds are recovering, why does it still hurt so much today? Awesome?" The image of Auston falling straight from Code Zero's shoulder would leave an indelible mark in Ryan's memory and become his nightmare.

"To say that medical scientists never announce it to the public, it will scare you all to rest." Brian turned into a different person when talking about these, like a Frankenstein, "The toxin of the female worm is alive."

"Blair, don't scare Ryan."

"No." Blair looked at Auston apologetically, "I also concealed it from you. It was very one-sided to say that toxins are active. The truth is that toxins are alive, like tiny creatures parasitic in your body. You have always been able to bear the pain, why is it so intense this time, because it senses danger and resists!"

At this time, the test results from Auston's coma were sent to Blair's personal terminal. He opened the terminal to check, and his eyes gradually filled with excitement, "Yes, yes, Auston has a new kind of body in your body. Substances can fight toxins, its content is very low, it is constantly accumulated, and we discover it only after the quantity changes qualitatively.

He repeated, "I want to see Strawberry."

Auston sat up straight. Standing in a high position, he had seen the uproar that this incident would cause in the empire, both good and bad, but that was all in the future, and now he had to find signs of recovery for himself. s things.

"Let's go to Ryan's dormitory."

He wanted to turn over and get up, but the action affected the wound on his waist, which was painful. Indeed, it hurts more than before.

"I'll bring the strawberries here." Ryan didn't want Auston to move with the injury, thinking that he was suffering under his nose all the time, but he didn't know that, Ryan's heart was hit by a heavy hammer and it hurt Can't breathe.

"No, maybe there is something in your dormitory that makes the strawberry mutate." Blair wanted to see the original environment.

"...the planting cabin I use."

"That's not OK."

"Auston is injured and can't move." Ryan said stubbornly.

Blair put his hands in his pockets and smiled fakely. Now he just wants to see strawberries and doesn't want to deal with miscellaneous things. "I'll just go to the dormitory alone and dig my eyes out."

Ryan & Auston: "…"

Gouging out the eyes is impossible, Ryan wants to do it, and Auston doesn't allow it, "Let's go together."

"I don't have a wheelchair here," Blair muttered.

"It's alright, I'll hold it." Ryan hugged Auston and steadfastly said, "I'll take you back to the dormitory."

Ryan, who was holding Auston, walked out first. Behind him, Blair looked at Auston maliciously with a weird smile on his face. Auston shook his head helplessly, and Blair shrugged in return. He was creating opportunities. Auston's wound was debridement and an inhibitor was applied, and the toxin slowly entered a sleeping period. Auston will have three hours. During the comfort period, I could not feel the pain in the heart of the cone, and the tingling that accompanied him without a shadow was tolerable for Auston.

However, it will take twenty minutes for the drug to exert its effect, hehe.

"I'm not going all the way with you, I'll wait for you at the door of the dormitory." Blair said loudly.

Lane, who had already walked out, stopped at his feet. He ignored one thing. From this floor to the floor where his dormitory was located, he needed to descend 12 floors. On these 12 floors, people would meet others anytime, anywhere.

"In the elevator, you help me stand."

They couldn't get away with Blair's words, "Today is elevator maintenance day."

As a member of the front and rear mechanical restoration department, Lane knew that the elevator would be overhauled every season, during which the elevator would be out of service for two hours, and the overhaul day of the season happened to be today.

"I carried you to the safe passage. The man on the stairs..."

Auston reassured Ryan, "It doesn't matter if someone sees it."

"I know, a lot of people saw it when I left the training ground with you in my arms." Ryan didn't care himself, he was afraid it would affect Auston's image.

"Then it doesn't matter, let's go."

"Okay." Ryan paused as he took a step out. He said, "I'd better keep it out of sight as much as possible to reduce trouble. Aston, you have the highest monitoring authority on the ship, so we try to avoid people. You get married. The matter is still a secret, and it should be exposed at a suitable time, not now."

Auston knew that Ryan was right, and he said, "Okay."

The personal terminal called up the monitoring of the whole ship, and Auston directed Lane to move forward, "We are going to the safe passage now. There are three people on the way, in XX, XXX, and XXXX."

Ryan took note, holding Auston all the way forward, showing excellent detection ability on the way, avoiding the three people, one of them almost passed them without seeing them.

Entering the safety stairs and going down three floors, Auston said, "There's a squad coming up on the next floor."

Ryan broke through the security door on the floor where he was and walked out, and now he chose to take another staircase.

Standing in the corridor, surrounded by lush green plants on both sides, Auston's voice sounded, "Fifteen meters ahead, there are three people in the passage on the left on the left, and the conference room on the right at the rear has ended and the meeting is about to end. There are thirty people in total. one person."

Ryan observed the terrain. Their best option now is to rush over and enter a small lounge before the person in front comes out. He knows that there is a back door in the lounge and can reach another safe staircase as soon as possible. There are temporarily few people there.

"I'm ready to go."

Ryan made a statement to tell Auston to get ready, and then rushed over. According to his physical fitness, it would not take more than two seconds to open the door and enter the small lounge for no more than five seconds. The time was precise. He had just entered the small lounge with Auston in his arms, and the three people in the aisle on the left came out, discussing the problems encountered in training as they walked.

"Is there anyone outside the back door?"

"There was someone in the lounge, he just walked in through the back door," Auston said.

Ryan: "…"

Ryan looked at it, and it turned out to be the captain Derrick Hall, whom he knew during the U167 ground operation, and he repeatedly lobbied himself to be transferred from the logistics department.

Derrick looked at Ryan, looked at the general in Ryan's arms, and subconsciously raised his hand to salute, "General, good day."

The author has something to say: Zerg are the wanderers of the universe, they can move freely in the universe without weapons, and their toxins continue to evolve by multiplying.

The male worm sent a token of love to the dear female worm, a human thigh, which has been stored for a long time, just for the object of his fancy.

The female worm took the gift and gave the male worm a loving hug.

The male worm's face changed greatly on the spot: squeak, squeak, humming (on-site translation: dear, I am poisoned, goodbye, I love you...)

The mother bug cried: wow wow wow (I actually poisoned my dear again, this is the third time this month)

The female worm looked at the swarms of male worms, the male worms shivered and squeaked faintly (give us three months to evolve and be able to resist toxins)
