Chapter 79： star bug

Auston had arrived home when he received Lane's message, and was walking around the small garden with the poor "left-behind children" in his arms. In the yard, arranged by the gardener, in addition to the green grass and trees, there were many flowers. The moonlight roses they brought have been fully utilized. The clusters are very beautiful. This is indeed a kind of plant that is easy to cultivate and survive. The flowers are red like flames, which contrast with the sunset, dazzling and brilliant. Tuantuan likes brightly colored things. His dark eyes can't see too many things clearly, but he is more and more concerned about colors, bright red like fire, blue like the sea, orange like jumping sunlight... these It's a small group's favorite.

Being held by his father, Tuantuan likes his father to stand next to the moonlight rose, so that he will stare quietly, with the innocence and curiosity unique to a child on his face.

Auston, who received the message, didn't think much, he hugged Tuan Tuan and boarded the little starship. This was the first time since Tuan Tuan was born. The little guy was very calm and composed. Quite general style.

After going out, I also came to the Imperial Mecha Research Center. It is definitely the first time for a small bun as big as Tuan Tuan to enter the Mecha Research Center. Tuan Tuan is a little baby who has seen the world. It's just that he didn't give Dad face, he naturally pulled his little hands out of Dad's empty palms, twisted his head into Dad's arms, yawned, he wanted to squint for a while, and wanted to eat I'll call daddy and daddy when I do.

Ryan touched his nose. He felt that he was disliked by his son, and pinched his chubby cheeks in revenge, "It's really naughty, let's see how Daddy will train you in the future."

Tuantuan frowned, but he didn't wake up while he was whirling. He had probably seen his future self training hard in his father's plan in a child's simple dream.

There is a temporary docking permit on the small star ship, but the time of docking at the Mecha Research Center cannot exceed 30 minutes. For the safety of the research center, this is a rule that must be followed, even if Ryan is already the acting CEO of the research institute. It is not possible to open the back door to issue Auston a permanent parking permit. The family entered the small starship, and the starship was launched under the control of code zero, but left the scope of the research center in the blink of an eye. On the starship, Xiao Tuantuan was placed in the crib. The little guy's two hands were placed on either side of his head as if surrendering. The quality of sleep was very good. , the heart is very soft.

"I often hear the old man say that children have the cleanest eyes." Ryan shook his head helplessly. He was too bloody. No wonder Tuantuan and Dafu didn't like his closeness very much.

Allston did not allow Ryan to say that, "Those things you do are for the country and the people. If Tuantuan doesn't get close to you, I'll spank him."

"Haha, don't, Tuantuan didn't make a mistake, wait until you make a mistake and then fight again."

"Well, listen to you." Auston smiled, looking at the ignorant little face in the cradle, "Tuan Tuan will definitely be very proud to know his father's true identity."

"It's a little secret, I'm just telling you." Ryan took Auston's shoulders and said with a smile, "Even our son won't tell."

This is a little secret that belongs to the two of them. Ryan's young body contains a mature soul, and he will not tell his children. Back then, when Ryan was Qin Feng Anderson, the more than 200 years in the military and politics not only killed Zerg, but also suppressed rebellions and bloodbathed pirates... No matter when, human beings could not be truly united. There are a lot of lives on his back, and the blood on his hands is unbelievable, but Qin Feng Anderson has a tenacious heart, a clear goal, and a person who can still stay awake while his consciousness is floating in a black hole will not be shaken by these things. heart. Whether it is Qin Feng or Ryan, they are never afraid.

It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will not change in the future.

Those who stumbled on him would find in the end that everything they did was doing Ryan.

Ryan, who has strong confidence and strength, glanced at the information on the personal terminal and put it down, but it was not difficult for his superiors to make a batch of high-quality mechanical mechas to be deployed in the police teams in each star field. So far, the mecha is the most mature one. Most of its parts can be mass-produced by mechanization. What really requires effort is the production of the nerve center, which can only be produced by the research center. This part is also The one that takes the longest and requires the most energy. When the mecha center was controlled by the Bromfield family, it was the production of the nerve center.

This time, the interim government made a drastic move and made up its mind to expand the number of mechas. The number of mechas was 500 at the beginning. It also designated the person in charge - Sierra Bromfield, and now the appointment has been sent to Ryan. Ryan lowered his eyes and smiled nonchalantly. He didn't know how much effort Sera had done to get this opportunity. Someone volunteered to take on the burden. , Ryan was waiting for Sierra's performance.

Five hundred mechanical mechas... Ryan raised the corners of his mouth, hoping that Sera would not regret it too much, the workload is not small.

"Lane."

Ryan looked over, "Huh?"

"I said we're not going home today."

Ryan looked at Xiao Tuan Tuan, it's okay not to go home, but is it really OK to bring Xiao Tuan Tuan?

Auston pursed his lips and said, "I asked Bunier, and he said that as long as a child of this age is protected, he can go out. We don't go to crowded places. There is everything on the small star ship, and we spend time outside. One night is fine. I booked a room at the Star Hotel. Today is the day of the giant constellation meteor shower. When the meteors cross the sky, the rainbow tail is dragged out. Let's go and see."

Meteors are no longer a rare sight in the interstellar era. On the transportation hub planet, there are "meteor showers" during the day and night. The large and small starships and starships enter the atmosphere and cut through the sky, leaving behind a trail of gorgeous trails caused by friction. , commonplace things are no longer uncommon. The Meteor Shower in the Giant constellation occurs every five years. It is famous for its large scale, many meteors, and gorgeous colors. Auston grew up in the capital star, but never went to see it. It was the first time to go with Ryan. He tilted his head, with a little blush on the tip of his ear. This was the first time he had offered a date since he got married, although he brought a small light bulb on the date.

Auston didn't wait for Ryan's reaction, he was a little dazed and a little aggrieved. Could it be that the date arranged for the first time in his life was very insincere? He was self-reflecting, the meteor shower in the interstellar era is nothing to see, nothing new, and it is not a simple two-person world with a child... He sighed in his heart, pretended not to care and smiled, "You Work is so tiring, I just became the acting CEO, there must be a lot of things, let's go home and rest, I will send a message to Bowers to prepare our dinner, what do you want to eat..."

Auston welcomed Ryan's warm embrace, and Ryan's voice was a little excited, "I'm not tired, I like it very much, let's go to see the meteor shower!"

"Yeah." After being stunned for a while, Auston nodded happily.

It turned out to be a date arranged by Auston, and Ryan couldn't be more excited, let alone watching a romantic meteor shower. Even if he went to the desert to plant trees and fields, he would be happy, and he would be happy to bring a bunch of small light bulbs.

The small starship is driving, heading for the target. Located in the eastern hemisphere of the capital star near the equator, there is a huge grassland. When looking at it from a high altitude, there are small bubbles one after another on the grassland. When you get closer, you find that those are transparent rooms one after another, like white crystal clear. The bowl was upside down on the ground, and the bright light in the room showed a bit of hazy and dreamy beauty. This is the Xingchen Hotel. There are also some small bright spots flowing with colorful fluorescent light in the grass. When you want to look closely, these small bright spots lurked in the grass roots and disappeared.

After stopping the small starship, Ryan and his party were led by the service staff to the pre-booked room. Ryan was pushing the stroller, and Auston was holding Tuan Tuan who woke up and changed into a dry diaper. Tuan Tuan had just woken up, not yet very energetic, wrapped in a soft blue swaddle and yawned every now and then, his black eyes were bright. Not very cheerful, not crying or fussing, like a delicate doll.

Walking on the stone road hidden in the grass, there will be green and tender grass blades across the ankle from time to time, bringing a little scratching feeling, itching. Dafuku ran before and after them, excitedly flapping his wings and flying from time to time, leaping in the air and uttering "oooooooo", although it was immature, it had begun to give a majestic roar, and it gradually lost its cuteness after learning to hunt. The young, wildness flowing in the blood makes it more eager to dominate the sky and land.

However, every time it flew for a while, seeing that it was about to fly away, it flapped its wings and flew back to the owner and Ryan, and came down to follow their slow pace, it was always attached to home, no will really go far.

The waiter who led the way walked aside a little flustered, away from Dafu, who was developing towards beasts. He didn't understand how rich people raised wild beasts. Isn't he afraid that the beasts would attack and eat him in the end? He quickly glanced at the child held by the guest, not to mention such a big and cute child.

Lane and Auston like to disguise their faces when they go out. Capital Star is no more densely populated and more enthusiastic about paying attention to facts than other places. If they are recognized, they will hate it, and they will definitely not be happy to play.

"How long?"

The waiter froze in his heart, and recovered the correct attitude for work from his chaotic thoughts, "Sir, there are still three kilometers left."

Ryan frowned slightly, turned his head to Auston and said, "Let's not go, let's get to the room earlier?"

Auston nodded and said angrily, "I didn't think carefully enough, and the journey is a bit long."

"If we don't bring small light bulbs, we will walk slowly when we come out by ourselves."

The disgusted small light bulb · Tuantuan called "Aah" twice, sounding a little angry.

When the two parents look at each other, maybe some small bad things can't be said in front of the child. Maybe the little child has his own tentacles to receive information and can translate the information from the outside into what he understands.

Instead of walking on their own, the hotel provides flying machines, open-top and closed-top options. Ryan and Auston chose the latter. Although they really wanted to experience the night wind with the scent of grass blowing slowly, considering the children Now, they cannot be willful. With the help of tools, the three-kilometer journey was reached in less than five minutes. The destination was the same semi-circular room, which didn't look very big. From the outside, it only covered an area of ​​20 square meters.

Ryan didn't go to check the relevant information of the Star Hotel. Now, looking at the exquisite and unique room, he thinks that there is a lot in it.

The waiter opened the room and watched the guests leave quickly after they checked in. He received a lot of guests, including a lot of dignitaries, but this family gave him a unique feeling. The employees couldn't breathe, but felt that being by their side, "people are like clouds in the sky, and they are underground mud."

Without outsiders to disturb him, Ryan in the room found that this small and exquisite room from the outside was even more delicate and cute inside. The large bed is placed in the center, very striking, and around the bed are some small but delicate functional areas. Lying on the bed, there is a transparent dome above, one-sided, invisible from the outside, but people inside can enjoy the whole sky.

After eating the meal provided by the hotel, which was considered to be acceptable, the family of three lay on the bed and quietly looked at the sky. At eight o'clock, the dazzling meteor shower began. The dome is equipped with special materials, and the meteor shower seems to be going on not far above them. In the dreamy scene, only Tuantuan entertained himself, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thoyy little feet and put them down , body coordination needs to be improved, Xiao Tuantuan will definitely use his little hands to hold his feet and bring them to his mouth to taste his own taste.

In the child's innocent and lovely voice, all the dreamy and charming atmosphere disappeared. Ryan lay on the bed and looked at Auston pitifully, thinking in his heart why the little ancestor was in such good spirits and still didn't sleep? He also wanted to have an indescribable interaction by taking advantage of the wonderful night, but with the child's babbling, he couldn't brew such a little emotion.

Auston said apologetically, "Next time, keep Tuan Tuan at home."

"Ah!" Xiao Tuantuan looked for his own existence, probably because he changed his sleeping place. He was very excited today, but he just didn't want to sleep.

Ryan was aggrieved, "I want to sleep with you."

Auston blushed, of course he knew that Ryan wasn't talking about pure sleep, "Wait, wait for the **** to fall asleep."

Tuantuan called out twice, "Ah, ah, ah!" He wanted to call his father and his stuff.

Ryan was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, "He doesn't want to sleep."

"Ah~" As if responding to his father's words, Tuantuan shouted happily, and knocked on the bed with his two calves, feeling a little excited and not sleepy.

Auston couldn't help crying and laughing in the voices of one big and one small, and some stammered words that only adults knew, "Go home, we will do it when we get home."

Ryan gritted his teeth in anger, and pretended to be angry and patted Xiao Tuan Tuan's butt, "What a little nuisance."

"Yah?" Tuantuan turned to look at Daddy, and showed a toothless smile every day at Daddy. With this smile, everything can be conquered.

Ryan softened and said helplessly, "Have fun, let's watch the stars together."

Where the children couldn't see, the two fathers held hands. They looked at the meteor shower that seemed to never stop, and enjoyed a rare peaceful time in the sound of the children's babbling. They also talked about their daytime work. Auston's training of the capital garrison has been completely on track. He doesn't need to watch the training next, and the training will not stop when it enters the daily routine. After a week or two, someone will take over. , he doesn't need to go to work and really take his own vacation. Being able to train the capital garrison is already under the eyes of many people. There is no need to destroy the short-term balance for such power. Auston seeks more, but it is not what the mere capital star garrison can give. Unjust, false and wrongful convictions can't be regarded as non-occurrence just because of time, and they can be rehabilitated in the near future, right?

Ryan also talked about his work. Presiding over the construction of three beast-type mechas was his biggest task and biggest challenge as acting CEO. Even so, he still brought some private goods with him. The black and white two-color mecha joined in, and the right to distribute the two mechas will be in his hands in the future. As for their masters, it is of course the original and code-named zero, and the one driving the original and code-named zero It can't be someone else, it must be himself and Auston. Don't forget that the key to the solution of the same frequency of the nerve center is in his hands.

"I don't want to stay in the Mecha Research Center all the time. It's not my dream to be a researcher for a lifetime."

"Ok, I know."

Ryan's plan is very clear, the research center is just a springboard for him, there is a more suitable person to lead this place, but that person is definitely not him, "I look forward to the day when we retire, we can go home to farm and be a leader. Adventurer, haha, two old adventurers!"

Thinking of himself and Ryan becoming an old man with white beard and hair, driving two mechas to be invincible, Auston felt a little amused and a little looking forward to it.

"By the time…"

In Lane's vivid description, Auston imagines the future, and thinks that it is really good.

The door was suddenly opened, and the sound of hurried footsteps came. Ryan, who was describing the future, looked up and saw the original. The room was too small. How could Ryan, who wanted to do bad things, keep more light bulbs, so he sent Yuan Chu, Code Zero, and Dafu out, and gave them the money. They could open a room by themselves, or they could just go out on the grass. Playing, if it weren't for the fact that Tuantuan was too small, he even had the heart to "throw" the children out together.

I said don't disturb, why are you here?

The original unwavering voice was particularly harsh, and his eyes flickered wildly, showing the injustice in the system program, "Sir, General, we have found something."

"What?" Ryan sat up slowly, and it was definitely not a trivial matter to make the original mood fluctuate. Beside him, Auston also sat up slowly, and hugged Tuantuan who was playing by himself.

"insect."

Ryan's heart skipped a beat, and his gentle expression was quickly replaced by seriousness, "What bug?"

"Small worms and worm eggs."

Ryan and Auston, who have faced off against each other, are very sensitive to bugs. The ones that can be solemnly mentioned by the original are definitely not ordinary bugs. This bug refers to the Zerg, the mortal enemy of mankind. And the wandering insects...the kind of insects with delicate and lovely appearance, small and chubby body, and beautiful carapaces, they are more familiar with them. They are the most numerous insects in the Zerg, and they act as cannon fodder when fighting, and reserve dry food when food is scarce. The Zerg has a strict hierarchy, and the most numerous parasites are equivalent to plankton in human society.

It is of little value, and will interfere with your own attack plan when facing the enemy.

but!

Zerg is the Zerg, the enemy of mankind!

How can it appear in the Morning Star Hotel? How can it appear in the capital star!

Ryan and Auston looked at each other, reacted quickly, rolled over and got up from the bed, "Originally took us to see."

"We found some, I'll bring one or two here first." Yuan Chu said, "Zero and Daifuku are checking on the grassland, and they should find more."

Ryan nodded, opened the door, and went out. He saw two insects with colorful fluorescent shells sitting in the grass outside the door. Each one was only the size of a teddy dog, like an enlarged ladybug. It looked very Cute and cute, with a round head and face, a round body, short limbs, and a gem-like egg held under his belly... Ryan closed his eyes to suppress the anger in his heart and the roar that was about to blurt out. , Shen Sheng asked: "How many have you found?"

"About more than 20. They are estimated to have entered the spawning season. The males and females gathered together. Daifuku was the first to find them, disturbing them and fleeing. We caught two on the spot and killed six."

As an old rival, Ryan knows the habits of the Zerg very well and knows how these hateful guys reproduce. Shortly after the birth of the largest number of parasites, the female will hold the egg in the abdomen, and it will reunite with the male every egg-laying season. It does not require any in-depth behavior, as long as the sperm/seed is released to contact the egg, and the egg lasts for 30 days. It will mature and hatch, and more small bugs will appear. There are several egg-laying seasons in a year, and a pair of worms can produce a huge population. The development and mutation of the insect race is fast, and it may be possible to evolve a powerful slaughtering machine within a decade or so.

Auston had already opened his personal terminal and called for room service, and directly asked to see the person in charge of the Star Hotel. The hotel put the needs of the guests first, and three people soon arrived, including the hotel manager, the waiter and security personnel responsible for receiving them.

The manager is a short and fat man with a white face and a beard, with a wide smile on his face. He smiled before saying a word, "Do you need anything, sir? The Star Hotel will serve you wholeheartedly."

Ryan's jaw tightened. He nodded at the two swimming insects that were afraid to move in the grass and asked, "What's going on?"

"Does the guest have any dissatisfaction with the star bug?"

"Star bug?"

"It's an ornamental bug that won't disturb people." The manager looked at the increasingly ugly faces of the two guests, and said cautiously: "Some alien guests brought it earlier, but they didn't take it away. Abandoned on the grassland, the hotel hunted and killed it at first. Later, the guests reported that it was very ornamental, so they kept it. However, the reproduction ability of the star bug is too strong, and the hotel has to spend a lot of manpower and material resources every year to kill it.”

Ryan sneered, "They're not the harmless bugs you call them, they're Zerg, the Zerg that traverses the universe!"
