[Slow Wear] Assassin System

sixth ring

Standing on the platform at the exit of Helios, Miao Xuan stopped thinking.

Admiral Van der Bellen ended his short declaration concisely. As soon as he turned around, he saw his confused and helpless colleagues. Sympathy and guilt flashed across his face. Van der Bellen turned off the loudspeaker and whispered, "Lieutenant, we are leaving! "

Miao Xuan's mind was blank at this time. He subconsciously followed Admiral Van der Bellen and walked down the big gangway behind the platform. The vehicle on the ground was already waiting under the gangway. According to the itinerary, they would go to the inside of the port next, and then take the team The ships inside return to the sixth ring.

Fortunately, there was no one else around at this time, and the car on the ground was fully autonomous. Miao Xuan woke up suddenly after sitting in the assistant's seat. The thing was originally a small thing as a gift for the silicon-based body, and it was just a decoration for the sub-god wearing the body-but Miao Xuan needs such a decoration now.

Miao Xuan opened this little thing, switched to the first page, and saw the latest news on the huge page, and the projected projectile shot in front of his eyes, which seemed to be shrunk down to the size of a palm...himself.

Miao Xuan and the little Asian god looked at each other for a while, then turned off the optical brain, and knocked on the inner wall of the car under Admiral Vander Bellen's worried eyes: "Miss Cornelia, please give me an explanation."

[Okay, Mr. Lieutenant, what do you want to know? 】The gentle female voice came softly, with a little banter, 【Is it about your projection?Please don't worry, it has been used in the right way, it has become the spiritual pillar of the Leto people, and it has created hundreds of millions of economic contributions in the past six months, and this part of the contribution points is sent to the your account. 】

Miao Xuan was shocked. He had always thought that all the contribution points in the account came from energy mining. He never expected that there would be income from being an idol among them.

Cornelia smiled lightly, like a real woman: [Actually, these are included in the sub-god's workbook, and the specific details are all in Chapter 9, you can check it at any time, and the image of the sub-god can only be Please rest assured that any slander, misinterpretation and blasphemy are illegal when used in the prescribed channels. 】

Miao Xuan: "...I didn't even know you photographed me."

Cornelia: [I asked you, you gave me authorization at that time, I recorded a total of three clips, and these three clips are all the content that is open to the public. 】

Miao Xuan recalled it for a while, and finally remembered the situation at that time. At that time, he had been squatting in the energy tide to stabilize the passage. Cornelia seemed to ask him if he would like to be interviewed...

It turns out that this interview was not simply a matter of recording a few questions.

Miao Xuan spread out on the seat and stopped thinking again.

-----

With a silicon-based face on his face, Miao Xuan and Van der Bellen boarded the ship back to the sixth ring, and Athena's message had also been sent to him.

The sixth ring is a very important part of Leto. All embryos and young children are born here. The sixth ring sends out fresh blood every year, and these children then enter the seventh ring.

This time, the destination of Miao Xuan and Admiral Van der Bellen was the Embryo Cultivation Center, but people are more used to calling it the "Shrine of Life".

All fertilized eggs will be initially guided and cultivated here, and healthy individuals will be kept in the uterus for eighteen months*, and then directly enter the infant state.

Leto's children do not have an infant stage, just like beasts on the ancient mother planet, they can live with their mother immediately after giving birth, can directly eat meat and fiber, and do not need the adaptation stage of breast milk.

Now, 3000 years later, all children are born after full development, and they have reached the stage of learning to walk from the moment they are delivered from the uterus. Adaptive lotions are made for babies, and their food is liquid nutrition.

Van der Bellen first brought Miao Xuan to a wide hall, which was neatly filled with cylindrical airtight petri dishes, and all the petri dishes were floating with developing embryos, and the soft light shrouded all the surrounding areas. The womb, Miao Xuan was shocked at first glance.

Although everything here is made up of cold machinery, somehow it makes people feel a warm atmosphere.

"This is the area of ​​the uterus, and I was born here before." Admiral Van der Bellen pointed to a display screen under the uterus next to him, "Our number is marked here, the first four numbers are the year, followed by It is the birthday, generally speaking, the first one is 01, because the annual newborn plan will complete the cultivation of fertilized eggs within one month."

Atenai was also too busy during the holidays, so he directly gave all the authority to Miao Xuan, and then asked Cornelia to be the tour guide, but it didn't seem necessary, because Vander Bellen acted familiar, as if he had been here before. It's the same here a thousand times.

Miao Xuan held his breath and moved outside a petri dish, where he could see a child suspended in the liquid. This little baby had developed limbs, and he was slowly turning his body around, with his eyes closed as if he was Have a sweet dream.

The system exclaimed in shock in Miao Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness. The little system had never seen the appearance of a human baby, and this was the first time he had come into contact with this strange world.

【Brother Miao, was this the same for you when you were young? ! 】The system is inconceivable, 【How can such a small... survive? 】

Miao Xuan backed away gently, as if he was afraid of waking up the child, he said to the system: I don't know either.

Being able to survive in the cruel world is not his credit, everything comes from the protection of his parents.

"Let's go, let's go to the next area." Admiral Van der Bellen looked at Yashen's appearance, and couldn't help but smiled softly, "Don't worry, all the uteri are made of the best materials, which can almost Completely isolated from outside interference, they can't hear us."

Miao Xuan nodded, and the two of them walked out of this area step by step.

The number of wombs in and out of the sixth ring is extremely large, and the breeding area occupies almost one-sixth of the entire sixth ring. Van der Bellen took Miao Xuan into the means of transportation, and the two quickly moved around the outer ring.

"This is the screening and cultivation area for fertilized eggs. It requires a completely sterile environment, so we won't go in here." Van der Bellen and Miao Xuan explained, "Our destination is the storage area."

Miao Xuan's thoughts were still in the outer uterus area, and he subconsciously asked, "Storage area? Is it the storage area for egg cells?"

"No, I'm not qualified to go to the egg cell storage area." Van der Bellen touched the back of his head, "The place we're going to should actually be called the matching area, it's the attachment area of ​​the storage area, and all germ cells will be Sent here to match the egg source...here we are."

The scooter stopped, and Miao Xuan looked up at the sign, which had the words Museum on it.

Miao Xuan followed Van der Bellen off the scooter. After a huge pure white hatch opened, they entered a large beige corridor. The two sides of the corridor were full of rooms. There were a series of numbers on each door. The corridor was very It is long, and there are many turns, all the branches are the same as the main road, and are lined with exactly the same small doors.

Van der Bellen is very familiar with this place, he knows how to get there without looking at the numbers. In a series of identical rooms, he quickly led Miao Xuan to find the destination.

This is a room marked with the number 0026. Van der Bellen opened the door: "Come in."

Miao Xuan followed him into 0026. This room was small and empty. It was also dyed pure white. There was only a name written on the wall in several different languages, and one of them was handwritten. — "Madalena Van der Bellen."

Miao Xuan was taken aback: "...Van der Bellen? Isn't that your last name?"

"Yes, that's right, that's my surname." Admiral Van der Bellen smiled. At this moment, the burly man lowered his head and touched his nose, as if a little embarrassed, "She is my mother."

As soon as the admiral's voice fell, the projection in the room was turned on, and a tall woman suddenly appeared in front of Miao Xuan and the admiral, and the recording began to play at the same time.

This tall woman has short hair, her eyebrows are tucked into her temples, her black hair is green, and she is heroic. The woman is still wearing a pure black military uniform. Her expression looks extremely resolute, but her face is hard to hide a little tiredness.

The woman's projection gave a military salute to the visitor, and then her voice was played in the recording: [I am Captain Maddalena Van der Bellen, and it is my honor to leave my video and video here. It's all Leto's future, nice to meet you. 】

Only then did Miao Xuan realize that what Admiral Van der Bellen said meant this. The woman in front of him was his egg source provider during the fertilized egg stage. In other words, she was really his new mother!

[I only have 1 minute, the situation is urgent. 】The woman's expression was very serious, she frowned slightly, and there was an unconcealable worry on her brows, 【Maybe you are my match, then I have nothing to say; if you are my child, then I am sorry , I can't take care of you as a mother, but Leto will protect and care for you instead of me, and please protect our home planet after you grow up. 】

Miao Xuan suddenly felt a little sad.

This mother...she died thousands of years ago.

Maddalena stared straight at the person in front of her, she was only facing the air during the filming, but now her impression was, as she expected, aimed at her child.

[Believe in Leto, the ark of mankind will reach the other shore one day, and we will have a home to live in again. 】Madalena's speech slowed down, and she showed a little hesitation. After a brief silence, Maddalena bit her lips and smiled very seriously, 【I couldn't be a mother before I was alive, but I am looking forward to your birth very much. I am very sorry that I cannot get to know you. I can only extend my best wishes here. 】

1 minute is so short, the audiovisual ends here, leaving only a frozen projection, the proud and strong woman smiles slightly, like an encouragement.

Admiral Van der Bellen was leaning against the wall, with a slight smile on his face. At this time, he looked so similar to Madalena, but even if the mother and son who were similar were standing next to each other In front of them, they have never touched each other, they have never hugged or even talked to each other, and they are separated by thousands of years.

Miao Xuan didn't speak, and he also looked at the projection of Madalena. Through this projection, he could see the epitome of that era, and he could imagine how fearful and turbulent it was at that time.

Women are about to become extinct, and at such a moment, Captain Maddalena left such a video.

The main culprit for the disappearance of women is radiation. No one is more familiar with this kind of thing than Miao Xuan. The pain and death it brings are suddenly like a landslide. Maybe you were a healthy person one day, but your body will be the next second. Complete breakdown.

They didn't know how long they stayed in this small room. The silent water droplets were enough to gather into an ocean. In the end, it was Admiral Van der Bellen who spoke first.

"...Let's go." His voice was a little dry, "Let's go...to see my wife."

Miao Xuan silently followed the admiral out of room 0026. After returning to the corridor, Van der Bellen became a little more emotional, and his words were a little scattered, but Miao Xuan could understand what he meant: "My surname is from my mother. Come on, I specifically checked the culture of my mother’s hometown. It is said that Franz is a very popular name...but there are too many Franz on Leto, but it’s nothing, it’s from the same origin as me Brothers don’t even know how many there are.”

Van der Bellen was silent for a moment, and then nonchalantly gossiped with the Yashen beside him: "Mother left a total of twelve egg sources, and I was born from the number five, which happens to be the number five that I like the most... Speaking of our The surnames are all inherited from my mother. You know that our first-rank general is Pema Tsering, right? His mother’s name is Pema Sangdrup. Let's talk about it... and Sokolov, the first-rank general of Yuke. According to the tradition of his mother's hometown, his name should have the father's surname. Back then, he thought about changing his middle name to 'Leto', Although I gave up in the end hahaha."

Van der Bellen smiled dryly, Miao Xuanying neither, nor should he, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't speak.

The two turned into another fork along the corridor, and Van der Bellen simply stopped talking, and pushed away a room marked with the number 1037.

The layout is also clean and simple, and the pure white walls are also filled with names in various languages. Miao Xuan saw a signature in a square font he is very familiar with - "Kong Yue".

Van der Bellen closed the door, stood by the wall, and said softly, "I'm here."

The projection turned on, and a slender shadow appeared in front of the visitor. The woman who appeared this time was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and there were still immature marks on her face. She was wearing a long white dress without patterns, and was sitting in a wheelchair. She looked up, her black eyes were full of autumn water.

【Hi, I'm Kong Yue. 】The woman smiled softly, Wu Nong said softly, 【I am honored to leave my video and video here, my body is dying, it is great to leave something behind. 】

【Whether you are my match or a child, I believe I will fall in love with you, hey, I don’t know what the future world will look like, and I don’t know what to say, so I have to ask you to take good care of yourself, I believe Leto will find a new home, and a girl will be born at that time. 】

Kong Yue's voice became lower and lower, she raised her head, but tears still fell one by one: 【My name means Moon, the moon is a satellite around the parent star, I have never seen a real moon, I also know that humans will never be able to see the moon again, but the moon is so beautiful, can you help me remember it? 】

The author has something to say:

The cover was changed, probably because Valentine’s Day is here. I went to the king to find a wild king, and then I was forced to use Miyue to fight the wild two times in a row, and then I met a Yao disguised as a girl (the boy who beat the king) Who can stand being coquettish), finally I gave up and decided to celebrate Valentine's Day by myself.

So the wild king has a fart, and in the end Miyue has to work hard, and he can't afford the skin. So far, he can only use bats to throw people with season skins, which is too difficult.

*The reason humans have baby stages is most likely to improve survival, so the baby is actually not fully developed, and the skull is not closed (humans have evolved large brains that can easily cause dystocia), so that it is easier to deliver through the birth canal .

Compared with other mammals that can run and move at birth, human infants grow outrageously, and human infants have the worst survival ability, and they must be protected by their mothers meticulously.

It is theorized that human babies are actually only half developed in the womb before having to be delivered (to prevent dystocia) and then complete the second half of embryonic development outside the body.

Leto also has no mother, so there is no childbirth problem, so everyone just makes do with their own development and comes out after [-] months, which improves efficiency and saves trouble.
