Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent

After seeing the ring representing Addison, the guard at the palace gate successfully left the palace under the pretext of going out to buy something.

Addison was very considerate and gave him a lot of cash.

Song Xun left the palace and went straight to the clothing store to change his clothes, rented a driver and a hovercraft, and set out for the border without delay.

When they were still some distance away from the border, the driver changed his mind halfway.

Song Xun didn't have time to care about these things at this time, so he put all the money in. The driver then set off tremblingly, stopped outside the war cordon in the border area, dropped the person off, and ran away in a hurry.

Song Xun looked around the place that Hutt had mentioned, lifted the iron net and entered the border war zone, walking deeper into it.

The two soldiers who were searching were the first to discover Song Xun.

They looked at the young man's clothes and frowned: "You are not a soldier in the war zone."

"I'm looking for someone."

Amidst the yellow sand and the chaos of war, suddenly an ordinary person appeared and rushed into the war zone without caring about his life.

The soldier was curious: "Who are you looking for?"

"Hutt."

After Song Xun pronounced this name, the two men immediately became alert, and their relatively gentle attitude just now was retracted. One of them expelled him.

"You can see our major general whenever you want? No outsiders are allowed to approach here, get out of here immediately."

They overreacted when they heard Hurt.

Song Xun felt depressed: "I know Hurt, please help pass the message, my name is Arnold, he will agree when he hears it."

"Go away, go away. What do you think this place is? Stop causing trouble for us."

The two men stopped Song Xun on the left and right, with no intention of passing on the message, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

Seeing their firm attitude, Song Xun didn't want to waste time on this, so he had to pretend to compromise. He took two steps back and saw that the two men relaxed, then immediately ran to the side, passing them.

I heard a low curse behind me, and soon I heard footsteps chasing me.

Song Xun did not stop for a moment. Thanks to the robot's strong physical fitness, he gradually shortened the distance towards the central camp.

But there were more and more soldiers on the road.

"Stop him, the person in front, stop him——"

"Stop right there, or I'll shoot you if you run again—"

Song Xun dodged the oncoming soldiers and was eventually surrounded by soldiers in military uniforms at the location closest to the camp.

The soldier who was chasing after him held up his knees and gasped: "You are a really good runner, you are risking your life."

He waved his hand: "Send it to him."

Song Xun was being held captive and walked out, almost in despair: "If I really know Hurt, please let me meet him."

When Hurt was mentioned, the soldier's attitude became more resolute: "Hurry up, keep an eye on the iron net, don't let him in again."

"Yes."

Song Xun was unable to struggle free from the people who were holding him captive, and could only watch the camp moving further and further away from him.

Even though we were almost successful, this feeling of helplessness was like a heavy blow to our heart.

He just wanted to see Hurt and find out how he was doing.

A roar was heard not far away, and a heavy armored vehicle rumbled past Song Xun in the sand, but suddenly stopped.

"Arno."

Hearing someone calling his name in an unfamiliar place, Song Xun looked up, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Teacher."

"Sir." The two men who had detained Song Xun immediately let go and saluted the man.

Sol got out of the car, looked at Song Xun with complicated eyes, and asked, "How did you get here?"

He was privately trained by the Edmund Family and was deeply blessed and supported by the Edmund Family. He had been close to Hurt from the very beginning and naturally knew how complicated the situation between Song Xun and Hurt was.

It is not an easy task to go all the way from the palace full of guards to the war zone.

Song Xun didn't have time to elaborate: "I can't contact Hurt, can you take me to see him?"

Thor motioned to the soldier: "Don't worry about this, just give the person to me."

"Yes."

With Thor, Song Xun entered the central camp unimpeded this time.

"How did you bring it back? Or was it brought back by the commander?"

Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, the soldier in charge of ordering the expulsion scratched his head.

"No, are you serious? I thought they were sent over there to get information."

Song Xun followed Thor all the way to the camp and entered a separate tent.

On the way here, he thought that Hurt was seriously injured.

Song Xun calmed down and lifted the curtain, but what he saw was an empty tent.

There was no one in there at all.

He looked at Thor.

"Be prepared." Thor's face was heavy. He was not one to be fussy, but he could also indirectly reveal the seriousness of the matter.

"Three days ago, we discovered the trace of the King of Pound Star."

This discovery excited everyone at the time.

The Lord Emperor is the being that dominates all the Pound people. He has developed mental manipulation abilities, controls the actions of the Pound people, and forms a powerful, organized, and purposeful army.

A main emperor is born every ten years. Thanks to their well-developed brains, their IQs are extremely high. Especially this batch of new main emperors, they are very good at planning and strategizing, and they seem to have the upper hand in confrontations with humans.

On the contrary, if we can take advantage of this rare opportunity to eliminate the Lord Emperor, then the people of Pound will be in disarray. Then, we can wipe out the people of Pound before the new Lord Emperor is born. This will be a lasting victory.

For the entire empire, it means that nearly two generations will live in a peaceful and war-free era.

Thor: "That day, Hutt led a team deep into the territory of the Pound Stars, intending to kill the Lord Emperor."

"He was too anxious." Thor sighed. "The number of Pound Starmen stationed there exceeded our expectations. The only option at the time was to withdraw from the enemy's territory."

"Hutt did not retreat with us. He sneaked into the fortress where the Lord Emperor was, regardless of the obstruction."

“There is still no trace of him.”

Hearing this result, Song Xun felt difficulty breathing for a moment.

I finally understood why the soldiers outside were so nervous when Hutt was mentioned. Once Hutt's whereabouts were revealed, the hope that the empire had worked so hard to build would collapse again, causing panic and turmoil.

He had always noticed that something was wrong with Hurt, but he was unable to stop it.

Song Xun was silent for a moment: "Teacher, I want to go find him."

Thor did not advise him, but explained the risks to him: "The Pound people are very aggressive towards any living creature. You have to think carefully."

Song Xun's thoughts remained unchanged: "I know."

Hutt is not dead, but his condition is definitely not good. If the mission is doomed to fail and Hutt still cannot escape the inevitable death, he might as well give it one last try.

-

The northern edge of the desert.

Thor was the first to get out of the car, and the soldiers guarding the border reported the situation to him.

"No trace of the Major General has been found."

Thor nodded with a serious expression. He had also tried to bring people in to investigate two days ago, but the result was equally unsatisfactory.

"There will be someone here to help at any time." Saul handed a small pistol to Song Xun who had just got off the car, "Hit them in the head as much as possible."

"Thank you." Song Xun took it, resolutely walked through the open barbed wire gate, and walked towards the jurisdiction of the Pound people.

Endless yellow sand shines brightly in the sun. The landscape here is vast and lonely, with only endless sand dunes everywhere.

Song Xun thought of the beautiful lake Hutt had mentioned. He wondered if he would have the chance to see it again.

Sensing something, he looked up.

It was a circling crow, constantly making hoarse calls.

The golden glow in the distance suddenly turned dark red, as if it was stained with bright red blood.

Song Xun quickened his pace in panic.

A wind blew in the desert under the setting sun, as if even the wind was trying to stop the hikers from moving forward.

Song Xun draped his clothes over his head to block the wind and sand, and lowered his head to prevent sand from getting into his eyes. He didn't know how long he had been walking before he saw the real Pound aliens.

Not the shrunken specimen trapped behind glass walls in the academy's viewing room.

Their bodies are much taller than those in the academy, with sharp sickle hands and eyes protruding outwards like the compound eyes of some insects. Such an aggressive appearance can easily cause fear in people.

Song Xun clenched the gun in his hand and looked at the monster.

Strangely, the Pound alien who discovered him just glanced at him casually, then left without taking it seriously.

The powerful Pound people would not allow any creature to enter their territory, but just now...

Song Xun forgot to put down the hand holding the gun.

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

——It’s 996.

Song Xun smiled faintly: "Thank you."

996 sighed, "To the right."

With the guidance of 996, Song Xun was not searching aimlessly this time. His breath was hidden, and the Pound people passing by were unaware that the outsider was moving freely among them.

Song Xun felt something was wrong. Normally, the actions of the Pound people were very well organized. They always appeared in groups and would not change even within their jurisdiction.

But what he saw was that these Pound people were scattered everywhere, wandering back and forth without any aim.

Song Xun didn't have time to pursue it for the time being. He was getting closer and closer to the destination pointed out by 996. Finally, under a withered poplar tree, he saw the Yun Gong buried by sand.

Fortunately, Hutt had authorized him to access the hatch of the Cloud Bow.

Song Xun pushed aside the yellow sand piled on the surface and used iris recognition to successfully enter the control room inside the cloud bow.

Saw Hutt inside.

The red alarm in the control room kept flashing, and the control panel prompted that the operator's mental power exceeded the maximum limit and fell into a mental riot.

Humans use their own mental power to control mechas and resist foreign enemies with combat power several times greater than their own, but they will also suffer backlash from their mental power.

According to statistics, 40% of soldiers died on the battlefield due to this cause. This backlash cannot be treated with any external force and the only way for them to get through it is to calm down and suppress the mental riot.

The control panel showed that the excess mental power knot was nearly twice as much, which was not an optimistic situation.

Song Xun calmed himself down, unbuckled his seat belt, and took Hurt away from the control console, allowing him to lie flat in a more comfortable position.

Song Xun's body had grown from that of a teenager to a strong and tall one. He spent some time trying, fearing that he would accidentally fall on Hurt and incur new injuries.

He opened the kettle he brought and supported the back of Hurt's neck with one hand.

The water slid down the bottle mouth and fell from Hutt's lips. He had lost the ability to swallow on his own.

Humans can only survive for about five days without water or food.

Including the time wasted on the road, it is now the evening of the fourth day.

Without thinking too much, Song Xun took a sip and passed it to Hutt. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the slight tremor of his Adam's apple at his fingertips.

It'll be fine. Hutt's mental strength level cap is 3S, he'll definitely be able to make it through.

He kept saying this to himself to calm himself down.

Song Xun's finger rested on the end of Hutt's eyebrow. In a year, his facial features had become more profound and three-dimensional than before, and the extra scar made him look more indifferent and unapproachable.

"Now you're done, your face is disfigured, you're not obedient at all."

"Wake up quickly. If you fail the mission, you will be fined a lot of money. Do you know that?"

"I've come all this way, please give me some face."

"You're willing to fall like this without even taking revenge?"

He muttered to himself but didn't dare to stop. People who were caught in a mental turmoil had a small chance of being awakened by the voices of those close to them.

-

Hutt was immersed in a sea of ​​​​spiritual energy, with his turbulent mental energy running and surging all the time.

In the end, because it could not be suppressed, the entire level of consciousness was brought into an endless abyss.

The severe mental turmoil buried all his unwillingness and resistance. At the last moment, Hutt regretted his eagerness for quick success.

He just wanted to go back as soon as possible and bring Arnold to his side. He definitely didn't like that palace where people were eaten everywhere.

You will be bullied, and it's hard to be watched all day long. Hutt knows it.

Countless possibilities emerged in my mind, then disappeared, and finally I fell into a dark dream.

I don’t know how long it took, but the rioting mental power was the first to sense the familiar breath and paused for a moment.

The voice that came to my ears was also very familiar.

The remaining consciousness of Hutt gradually became clear and active along with the breath and sound...

It was completely dark outside. Song Xun took a break after noticing that Hurt's breathing had become calmer.

He leaned against the wall of the mecha and closed his eyes to rest.

Robots don’t feel tired, but Song Xun’s overly tense spirit makes people feel sleepy on a conscious level.

While I was drowsy, I suddenly felt a wetness on my lips.

Like some large canine licking.

How could a dog come from inside a closed mecha? Song Xun was startled and opened his eyes to see Hurt's face, which was extremely close to him.

Hurt... was kissing him.

Song Xun's brain exploded, but Hutt seemed not to feel anything was wrong. He buried his head and rubbed his neck again and again.

"I thought it was my hallucination, but you really appeared."

At the most unlikely, desperate and difficult moment, it is like a ray of light falling.

Hurt sometimes wondered if the annoying God gave him Arnold as a gift to make up for him.

"Were you kissing me just now?" Song Xun's attention had not yet moved away.

Hutt held him tightly and said, "You kissed me too."

"I was trying to save you. Don't confuse me." Song Xun reacted and asked, "Were you conscious the whole time?"

"I sensed your presence as soon as you came in." Hutt pulled him up from the ground, "I'll show you something good."

Song Xun thought he was trying to change the subject, but when he saw the storage cabinet inside the mecha arm slowly opening, all his words were silenced.

His impression of the Lord Emperor all came from Thor's simple popularization and explanation of the Pound people in the Strategic Academy.

What I remember clearly is that the Lord Emperor had a pair of white pupils and his head was two to three times larger than that of an ordinary Pound star.

All of these key points for identification matched the severed heads in the cabinet.

Song Xun looked at Hutt blankly.

Hutt raised the corner of his mouth: "Let's go back."
