Chapter 62 Don't Feel Sorry To Me
Chapter 62 Don't Feel Sorry To Me
Through the gap in the door, you can still clearly see the festive and warm decoration in the living room.
Day and winter were waiting for Qi Ji to go home for the New Year, but he only got this badge.
The fingers of the police officer holding the badge trembled slightly, but Tiandong's face was calm. He took the badge and stared at it for a few seconds. Except for some red eyes, he didn't cry or break down hysterically.
It wasn't until he opened his mouth that a hoarse voice revealed his sadness: "Thank you."
The door closed, and Tian Dong took a deep breath, he put the badge into his pocket close to his heart, and turned on the player on the optical brain.
Before the police officer in charge of the docking approached him, Day and Winter had checked the pictures of the mechas sent back from the front line countless times.He needs to apply for permission to view the higher-level black box. Gu Yinchen said that he is already applying for it for him, and he will get a reply soon.
He didn't believe that Qi Ji was dead.
Even though his fingers and body were trembling with fear and sadness, Dayong stubbornly believed in his intuition.
Soon Gu Yinchen sent him a message.
【Gu Yinchen: [Black Box.zip]】
The black box is already the top secret of the military, and Gu Yinchen's application was rejected.That document was given to him by Song Zhouyu.
Not just this time.
At the press conference, Song Zhouyu asked his subordinates to do the light screen that Trash Star put on. In addition, he also took the initiative to expand the scope of the live broadcast of the press conference.
There were also many times when Ridong was so busy that he forgot to eat, and it was Song Zhouyu who asked the informant to hint that Gu Yinchen should go to the laboratory and urge Ridong to eat.
But after Song Zhouyu gave the black box information this time, he didn't ask Gu Yinchen to tell Ridong.
He didn't want to burden Dayong.
Day and winter accepted the file, opened it and listened to it several times.
Regarding the black box audio, there is not much information in it to extract, the team communicated and fought normally, and then the mecha was destroyed.Without exception, their mechs seemed to have suffered an irresistible blow in an instant, leaving no time for last words or fear.
Is it really?
Day and winter zoomed in on the picture of the mech with the bridge torn apart.
That is the trace of the Zerg bite.
But the defense value of the new mecha is clear day and night, and it is impossible for the Zerg to bite it.The new mecha is designed for the new type of Zerg. Regardless of the defense value or attack power, they have reached the best value originally envisioned.
Especially after Qi Ji's disappearance, the Zerg's movements disappeared strangely, instead of aggressively attacking as usual.
Weird.
But this weirdness can also be explained - and that is the birth of the worm mother.
The birth of the worm mother stimulates the hormonal level of the zerg to increase, and the combat effectiveness and energy will be greatly improved.Not taking advantage of the victory to pursue the attack is also because of the need to defend the fragile newborn insect mother.
If the day and winter can see it, the military can naturally see it too.Soon, after a quick meeting, a special rescue plan was finalized.
All sides are moving.
Tian Dong put on his coat, looked at the decorated living room again, and the pasted couplets.
He bowed his head and kissed the badge.
Is he a broom star?
He is not.
Qi Ji spent so much time telling him the fact that he is not so easily knocked down.
He will bring Qi Ji back.
The lights are dimmed, and day and winter rush to the night.
He will definitely bring Qi Ji back.
The military headquarters is brightly lit.
Day Dong and other researchers followed behind Gu Yinchen, and they walked quickly to the military conference room.
Gu Yinchen took off the one-sided mirror, and quickly said: "The military department organized a special operation team to search for the missing persons and investigate the cause of the death."
"Because the possibility of being killed and missing due to a malfunction of the new mecha cannot be ruled out. The special operations team needs three to five researchers, mainly to investigate the scene and bring back the wreckage of the mecha."
Gu Yinchen, "I've already drafted a preliminary list, Dayong, would you like to go?"
In addition, Gu Yinchen also named the names of two other researchers.
"I'll go," Dongdong said without any hesitation, "I'm the developer of the mecha, and I know the structure of the new mecha better than anyone else."
"I won't cause trouble, I know what I have to do."
Others chimed in, "So can we!"
"Undoubtedly."
The central meeting room is just around the corner.
Gu Yinchen smiled in relief. "very good."
He pushed open the door.
"Then let's start."
Inside the door are the Marshal of the Empire and Song Zhouyu sitting in high positions.
Half an hour later, the specific action plan has been finalized.After another half an hour, a special operations team composed of more than 100 elite soldiers was ready to go.
Since the location of this operation is a rainforest, and the planet where there is no winter, the local weather is hot and rainy, so they all wear green cloaks that can hide themselves.
Gu Yinchen stood next to Tiandong, relieved, "The reason is basically found out, and the rest will be left to time."
Rescue is always a race against time.
"Just missing, but he's still alive."
"Here, tell me that Qi Ji is still alive."
Tiandong caressed the position of his heart, his heart was beating violently and restlessly, he took a deep breath, "No matter what, I will bring him back."
He murmured: "He said he would come back."
"I'll bring him back."
"I'll go find him."
Gu Yinchen patted him on the shoulder, "Don't have too much psychological pressure, Qi Ji will be fine."
The starship entered the star orbit and began to leap, and Song Zhouyu, who was in charge of this operation, stood at the front.He looked at Tiandong in the corner and pursed his lips worriedly.
He was worried that his body would not be able to hold on, and he was also worried about his mental state.But when he leaned over to comfort him, it would only annoy Dayong even more.
But during the 15-minute transition, Dayong stood in the corner, calmly showing no discomfort.
Finally, the starship landed.
The local military had been waiting in place for a long time. The handover between the two sides was completed, and batch after batch of soldiers went to the rainforest.
Day Dong and Gu Yinchen were sent to the scene of the incident by the aircraft, while others searched around.
Because of the rainforest climate, the land is wet and the moisture content in the air is high.
When Tiandong set foot on that land, there was only the quiet sound of the wind around him. Mecha wreckage was everywhere, and every plant and tree became cruel.
In the middle of the open space is Qi Ji's mech.
The all-too-familiar mark was in front of his eyes, his legs were almost limp, he breathed deeply, belatedly and deeply felt the despair when the incident happened.
Gu Yinchen supported him, "Tiandong, calm down, they are still waiting for us."
Dayong gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that he couldn't hold back, suppressed his restless emotions, and started collecting fragments and taking photos separately with other colleagues.
The entire rainforest is divided into twelve areas, which are divided into twelve teams to search.
Soon, the team's reports came one after another through the communication channel.
"Area [-] is safe and no one has found it."
"The Zerg was found in the third area and has been strangled. No one has found it so far."
"........."
Immediately afterwards, no one was found in the second, sixth, and seventh districts.As the communication channel was opened again and again, Dayong's heart sank.
Now only the [-]th district where they are located and the [-]th district that Song Zhouyu is in charge of have not received reports.
Where did Qi Ji and the others go?
After taking the last photo, Dayong stepped on the ground under his feet and inspected the forest.
He emptied his emotions and tried to perceive everything around him.
The sound of leaves falling and the breeze blowing is close to my ears, and at the same time, there are subtle, continuous and inexplicable agitation sounds.
Very weird sound.
Day and winter turned in one direction, and Su Er felt the ground tremble.
They are very close to the [-]th district, and the land of the [-]th district has begun to heave.
It's a massive bug swarm!
A heart was about to jump out of his throat in Tiandong, he held the hand of the colleague beside him, pushed back the colleague who was already stupefied in panic, and said loudly, "Run!"
This sound sounded like an alarm bell, and the three researchers began to run in the direction of the aircraft in a panic.
Day and winter presses the mecha miniature device, moves forward against the crowd, and at the same time presses and holds the communicator next to the ear.
"Insect swarms are about to break out in Districts [-] and [-]. Please start the preparatory plan B."
"Researcher Day and Winter applies for supreme command in wartime."
They had anticipated this situation before coming.
The sound of the wind brushed past my ears, and the mecha roared.
Song Zhouyu's voice came clearly from the communicator.
"The insect swarm is about to hit, everyone is on alert, start plan B. Approve researcher Tiandong to become the supreme commander."
---
In the first hour before departure, the central meeting room.
The current Marshal Alpha and Song Zhouyu are sitting in the main seat, while the others are in the lower seats.
The military's discussion on the Zerg was similar to what Daywinter had imagined before, and the solution proposed was also very reasonable.
But Daywinter had another idea.He looked at the marshal on the main seat, "I think there is another possibility of the disappearance of General Qi this time."
Everyone looked at him.
Including Song Zhouyu.
Tian Dong calmed down and explained: "Maybe it's not the influence of the new worm mother, or in other words, there is no new worm mother at all."
"In the first half of the year, after Admiral Qi killed the bug mother, the number of Zerg races dropped sharply. It stands to reason that the Zerg race would have to wait at least three years before they could welcome new bug mothers."
"But it's less than half a year now, and in winter, the worm mother is born, which is unreasonable."
A venomous Alpha said impatiently: "Please, we must have thought of what you said."
"But it's simply not possible."
It's not a newborn worm mother, how could the new mech, which claims to have a defense increase of [-]%, be defeated?
He looked into Tiandong's eyes, and suddenly wanted broken tears to appear in those firm eyes, he lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: "Oh no, it is still possible, that is the new mecha designed by your research institute Something went wrong."
Gu Yinchen sneered, "If it's an obstacle caused by the mecha, then we will admit it, but do you think it's time to throw the blame away?"
"You didn't even finish talking in the day and winter, so you opened your mouth in a hurry, who has a ghost in his heart?"
"If you can't learn to listen to people, cut off your ears and get out."
Song Zhouyu deliberately waited for Gu Yinchen to finish cursing before knocking on the table, and said coldly, "Quiet."
He looked at Zhou Dong, "Zi Dong, continue."
Dayong eased his tone, "The information from the black box is only that Qi Ji's team is fighting the new type of Zerg, but I think there may be more than one kind of bug at the scene."
"Do you still remember that there is a kind of insect called [Cicada]?"
[Cicada], it behaves as it is called.Dormant and dormant in the soil, it will break out of the ground when it is mature.Similarly, there are [gophers], bugs that live underground. In the past, these two bugs often broke ground and hurt people.However, in the last century, some pharmacologists developed a drug to kill the young eggs of [cicadas] and [hamsters], disinfecting and deworming on a large scale, and these two kinds of insects have been almost extinct since then. It has never appeared in the public eye again, and has been silent in the long river of history.
Now the empire still organizes planets to be wiped out from time to time.
"They disappeared so strangely." There were only mecha wreckage, but no one was there.It was deliberately like a play made by the Zerg for them to watch.
Song Zhouyu answered, "So it's possible that they were attacked during the battle and then disappeared?"
Song Zhouyu at this time was very different, calm and calm, completely free of the fragility and childishness in front of him.
Day and winter withdrew his messy thoughts, nodded: "Yes, especially the place where they disappeared is the rainforest."
Tropical rainforest, with high temperature and high humidity, is a good place for insect eggs to hatch.
"I suspect that the eggs of [the cicadas] and [the gophers] have evolved to be immune to the drugs that disinfect them."
"The birth of the insect mother may be a point that confuses our sight, and this may be a precursor to the outbreak of the insect swarm."
So there is a preliminary plan B.
The swarm of insects came fiercely, and countless mechs whizzed past above the rainforest.Because they had been prepared for a long time, coupled with the command of the day and winter, they did not deal with it too embarrassingly.
An hour later, the bug infestation was resolved.
The news that the Zerg strangling was completed came from the communicator one after another.After the Zergs in the eighth area were cleaned up, Dayong left the mecha, his face was pale, and he leaned against the tree exhausted, with his head raised and panting heavily.
His physical strength has reached its limit.
Song Zhouyu from District [-] seemed to have sensed it. He amplified the voice of the communicator, "Commander Dayong, please keep in touch with me at all times."
"Day and winter?"
"Day and winter!!"
There was a lot of noise, Song Zhouyu pressed the communicator, frowned, and was about to shout again, when he heard the voice of Dayong from the communicator.
"I am fine."
"Continue to search for missing persons and be alert for the next wave of bugs."
Tian Dong blinked his wet eyelashes, took a sip of the supplemental energy-based nutrient solution, and continued walking.
He wanted to find Qi Ji.
---
In the end, they were Qi Ji's team found in a cave covered by a mound of earth in District [-].
Qi Ji was the only one in the group who was still barely awake. He faintly heard movement and kicked the mound of dirt, and only then did the search personnel find them.
Professional search and rescue personnel came to the scene quickly, cleaning the wound, dressing the wound, and soldiers checking the eggs. For a while, the entrance of the cave was busy.
The moment when Dayong came to see Qi Ji, he could hardly hold back his tears.He wanted to hug Qi Ji but didn't dare, he could only help Qi Ji up in a hurry and looked at him helplessly.
Shouting over and over again: "Uncle..."
"Ah."
Qi Ji really wanted to rub his head, but his hands had lost strength, so he moved, and lightly touched Zhou Dong's head with his forehead.
"Uncle is here."
Day and winter finally broke down in tears.
Song Zhouyu was at the entrance of the cave, seeing Ridong's tears, clenched her hands tightly into fists.
Qi Ji was the only sober person on the scene, but his body was weak, and he was not seriously injured. After the other members of the team withdrew one after another, he was put on the stretcher.
Si Dong watched by the side, watched Qi Ji get on the aircraft and heaved a sigh of relief, his tense nerves and body gradually softened.
He was already sick two days before departure, and even when he recovered, his brain always had a dull pain, and his body was unable to exert strength from time to time.
Now that Qi Ji is found, it is certain that there will be no second wave of insect swarms. The exhaustion from before has flooded in, and Dayong is a little unsteady.
He wanted to find a place to lean on for a while, but the moment he turned around, he was thrown from the side.
That moment seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Day and winter's sight was stained red with blood.
He saw Song Zhouyu who threw him down, and also saw the Zerg [Cicada] at the entrance of the cave.
There is also a cicada that just woke up in the cave.
"His hand can't recover." The team doctor shook his head. "The hand was forcibly torn off by himself, and the original tissue was also corroded."
[Cicada]'s saliva is corrosive, if the half of the hand is not cut off in time at the moment of biting it, Song Zhouyu will lose more than just the hand.
No matter how powerful the treatment cabin is, it is impossible to recover Song Zhouyu's hand.
The team doctor patted Tian Dong's shoulder, "I can choose a good-looking prosthetic for him in the future."
After the team doctor left, Ridong looked at Song Zhouyu's bandaged half of his hand, his eyes were red, and he was speechless.
The hand hurts, but as long as Tiandong is fine, Song Zhouyu is willing to lose another hand.Seeing the guilty and helpless expression of Zhou Dong, he panicked for a while, "Brother, I'm fine."
His saving of Tiandong was just an instinct engraved in his DNA, and he didn't want to use this kindness to gain anything.Even breaking off his hand was his childish and willful retribution for Tian Dong before.
Day Dong's eyes became more and more red, Song Zhouyu pursed his lips, "I am willing."
"Dong Dong, you don't need to be sad, you don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to do anything to me."
Song Zhouyu didn't want to repay the favor.
Day and winter always said that the relationship between them was too deformed and abnormal, Song Zhouyu before could not understand it.But after Zhoudong cried once, Song Zhouyu understood.
Because of the month of Garbage Star, Dayong agreed to his pursuit.From then on, his abnormal love brought endless pain to Dayong.
Now, he doesn't want to continue the pain.He wanted to say that he was slowly becoming normal, and his love was no longer so deformed.
He doesn't expect that Tiandong can immediately respond to his love, but he wants to get back to him and start a new relationship with him with a normal relationship.
Dayong's throat was choked up badly. "Song Zhouyu, I'm sorry."
At that time, he remembered that Song Zhouyu was far away from him, not within [Cicada's] attack range, he was [Cicada's] target, and it was him who should cut off his hand.
But Song Zhouyu endured all this for him.
"I'm sorry." Dayong tried his best to smooth out his words, "I don't know what to say except I'm sorry."
Song Zhouyu endured the pain for him, but he still couldn't give Song Zhouyu everything he wanted.
"I can take care of you if you need it."
But there is no love in Tiandong's eyes, only guilt.The wound that didn't feel pain at first began to hurt, as if thousands of ants were gnawing on it.Song Zhouyu's face was pale, he bit his lip and said in a low voice, "I don't want it."
"I don't want to do this."
"Brother, you don't have to feel sorry for me."
If it is a relationship that starts from guilt, then both Tiandong and him will suffer.
"If it's okay...can you treat me like a normal person or a stranger."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to." Song Zhouyu's original intention was not to make Ridong feel guilty, but he explained anxiously that he was afraid that Ridong would misunderstand that he was still so childish.
"In short, you don't have to feel guilty about me, and you don't have to take care of me. I don't want to do that."
Day and winter kept his head down.
Just when Song Zhouyu was lost and thought he would not receive an answer, Ridong spoke.
"Okay, I promise you."
The author has something to say:
There is no plot to take care of Song Zhouyu, and there is still a little warmth in the crematorium
The fights are all made up by me qwq
