Hungry dragon cubs come to the door

When Yu Yan came here, he was on the most common transit ship in the empire, and it can be the same when he goes back.

(He found himself already referring to the trip to Noah as 'going back'.)

But not Farami.

Ordinary commercial ships need to be booked in advance, and identity checks and checks are also required when boarding the ship, which is not applicable to Farami, a black but banned race.

If you don't take the usual path and hide in the turbine control room and sneak up, you must have the cooperation of the downy spirit beast.

Obviously, they don't now.

To be on the safe side, Yu Yan rented a private ship to go back to Nuo'e.

The empire has a large population, and there are always some guests who want to protect the privacy of their itinerary. It is neither convenient to take a public ship, nor can they afford it, or use their own to be more conspicuous. Usually, they choose to rent a private ship.

The helmsman of this type of ship has professional qualities, does not meet the guests face to face throughout the process, and understands the needs of users very well.

Of course, the price is not so expensive, it almost used up all the wages that Yu Yan had worked so hard to save for the past six months.

But none of that matters anymore.

Credit points can always be earned again, right now, the most important thing is to go back safely.

Yu Yan had a very strong sense of foreboding.

Farami leaned against the porthole, reluctant to part with the scenery of his home planet.

Yu Yan poured him some sweet drink: "After you go back, you go directly to the forest and find Ningning. It's best to hide. Don't come to me for the time being, you know? I will go to you guys after I'm done. .”

This incident seemed to have happened again, and Farami was dissatisfied: "You are going to abandon me again."

"This is not abandonment." Yu Yan patted his cheek with a serious look, "This is to protect you."

"That's what you said last time."

"This time is different from last time. Colonel Lin is a good man, but this time..."

Although he hasn't received any detailed information yet, he always feels that this "group" is targeting Farami.

Whether it's the one sleeping in the forest, or the guy beside him who still has many mysteries.

Farami's eyes changed: "Is it the bad guy this time?"

"I don't know. I hope not."

Farami's tone was very serious: "If you are a bad person, I will protect you."

Yu Yan smiled: "Okay. But you have to protect yourself first."

Farami was not convinced: "Of course I can protect myself. I'm—"

"Shh." Yu Yan pressed his fingers against Farami's lips and lowered his voice, "Don't say it so loudly."

Although private ships are secret, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is no absolute security, so it is better to be careful.

Farami held his hand and kissed him: "Trust me, I will, I will definitely protect you."

Yu Yan didn't take it seriously, but he wouldn't ignore his kindness, so he nodded: "Okay."

The spaceship sailed into space, and the outside of the porthole gradually became black without a trace of light.

For the rest of the voyage, Yu Yan didn't have the mood to talk, and let Farami hold him.

If there is a storm coming, he hopes that this hug will be the most firm peace and courage in his heart.

Crimson and dark green reappeared in the field of vision, the Noah star had arrived, and the ship was about to land.

After just a short ten-day farewell, he returned to this land that filled him with mixed feelings.

Yu Yan sent a message through the built-in PADD to tell the pilot to stop the ship above the forest.

Although the driver didn't think it would be a good idea to jump here, but what the guests said, he was only responsible for taking money to do things.

Farami reluctantly kissed Yu Yan many times, and made him promise again and again that he would come back to find him as soon as possible, and finally he was willing to leave.

You don’t need a parachute, you don’t need any auxiliary equipment, just jump straight from the sky, wait until you disappear from the field of vision and enter the radar blind spot, and then just find a chance to return to the dragon shape, even if you dive to only ten meters from the ground .

Listening to the ship's radio broadcasting various operating instructions and precautions, Yu Yan rarely felt envious. In this case, being a dragon is quite convenient.

After the ship entered the mooring port, Yu Yan ignored the line displayed on the built-in PADD【Remember to give five-star praise~ Dear~Anonymous is fine~Welcome to visit next time~】, took his luggage, and left in a hurry.

He has to go back to the dormitory first.

He was dressed in casual clothes on vacation back to his home planet, and he needed to change into his uniform before meeting the officer.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he got home, the door turned out to be ajar.

Yu Yan made a move.

Even if the doors on Noah were old-fashioned and manually locked, he would never do such a stupid thing like leaving home and forgetting to close the door.

What's more, Alan would come to help him water the few plants at the door every day. If the door was really open, it was impossible for the boy not to remind him.

Someone... is inside.

Without his permission, he "obtained" his authorization password.

Yu Yan left the suitcase containing Farami's things outside, and pushed open the door.

The sensor light at the entrance didn't turn on, it should have been turned off in advance.

He walked in slowly and saw a figure in the living room.

"It's a nice house, and it's been well taken care of by you." The man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, with an elegant demeanor and a deliberate affectation, "It's like this planet."

He spoke with a smile, but it was inexplicable sarcasm.

"Hello, Commander."

Newman Bruce turned slowly.

"Or should I say, long time no see?"

The premonition came true.

At this time, it is meaningless to entangle how the other party came in.Anyway, the Bruce family can always do what they want to do.

Yu Yan's stomach churned, but he didn't show it, he squeezed his fists to let himself relax.

He saluted him: "Your Excellency."

"On a personal level, I really want you not to be so restrained, after all, we have already met face to face." Newman wore the mask of that false smile, "Unfortunately, I am here for business, in order not to let others have Opportunity to gossip, I think we can only be more polite."

Yu Yan didn't strike up a conversation immediately, waiting for his next sentence.

Newman moved closer to him: "I'm sorry to call you back from your vacation. I also told my colleagues that there is no need to arrange it in the New Year. At least let you and your soldiers finish the vacation. But they insisted on it." , I can’t help but say that the situation is urgent. After all, we have to take care of the overall situation, don’t you think?”

"...Yes, Your Excellency." Yu Yan asked, "Why did you come here this time?"

"You will find out when we have a meeting later." Newman looked around, pretending that he hadn't searched thoroughly just now, "Mr. Yu, do you live alone?"

This question made Yu Yan's heart skip a beat.

After all, in the past few months, a young dragon and an H-level telepathic creature lived here, and they were both listed as "high-risk" on the list of the Alpha Quadrant.

He was extremely grateful to Colonel Lin for warning him that there might be surveillance in the base when he visited a few months ago—not only on the equipment, but also means that the walls have ears.

Since then, Yu Yan has become more careful. When he leaves the dormitory for a long time, he will not only "drive" the dragon cubs and velvet spirit beasts back to the forest, but also clean up the traces of their existence.

"Yes." Yu Yan replied.

He didn't think Newman could see anything.

"That's a pity." Newman chuckled: "When I was young, there was a time when I was frequently stationed abroad, but not as a military commander, but as an ambassador. You know, in those strange places, we always I'll...have some fun for myself."

Yu Yan understood what he meant, and felt a little disgusted.

Some people can't stand loneliness forever, and they can't control themselves more than animals.

Mrs. Bruce is still alive and has an adult child. Did they not know that her husband often shot in another place outside, or did they acquiesce in this behavior?

Newman thought he had heard his own words: "You see, you're young, and you don't have a family or a partner—as far as I know—and in Noah, you're the highest-ranking commander, in other words, the whole planet is yours. Yes. Whether it's power or people. Whatever you like, it's fine."

He said unabashedly: "When I came here, the villagers came to welcome me, and I noticed that some young girls are very nice." He smiled, "Or, do you prefer boys?"

Newman thought he had made a dirty joke to humiliate Yu Yan, but he didn't expect it to hit his heart.

Yu Yan looked at the middle-aged man's hair, which was also blond, but compared to Farami, it was so dull and boring, which made people feel bored.

He replied coldly: "I will analyze my needs, thank you for your concern."

Newman was not surprised by his seemingly self-reliant answer. After all, young people are still shy when they just walked out of campus, and they can't pass that hurdle.

But sooner or later it will.

Especially in a place like Noah's that deviates from the normal social track, who knows who he will get together with.

—Of course, you have to live to that time first.

"How is your son?" Yu Yan suddenly asked, "The last time we met was in the hospital."

Mentioning his unfulfilling son, and remembering that he spent a lot of money on body plastic surgery, but still couldn't restore the skin before the sigma ray damage, Newman's eyes flashed a disgust that he didn't even realize.

"Thanks to you, he has already returned to the expeditionary force."

However, the injured skin will be more fragile than ordinary people, and his carelessness and incompetence judged by his superiors will implicate his comrades. Since then, Vogt will not be able to go to the front line and stay in the logistics to do odd jobs.

Inaction, worthy of the life he originally deserved.

These Newman will not tell Yu Yan.

He had thought that he would see hatred, envy, disappointment, or any kind of wave in the young man's eyes.

But Yu Yan's gaze was surprisingly calm, as if what Vogt and the Bruce family did had never had anything to do with him.

Newman wondered if he had already learned everything about the "Black Diamond" from Qiao Jian and was about to inherit it.

If this is the case, it would be easy to explain not caring about the small seat of the expeditionary force.

After all, whoever gets the "black diamond" holds the key, leading to wealth and unparalleled status.

……Do not.

He won't let him get away with it.

Regardless of the "black diamond", wealth and status, they will eventually belong to the Bruce family - he must let the Bruce family regain the supreme glory.

The wrist phone rang.

Newman glanced at the message and smiled sinisterly.

"Let's go, Commander, Mr. Cai has arrived. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you at the meeting later."

The leaders of this special inspection team consisted of three people: Congressman Cai Peibai representing the parliament, Colonel Kane representing the military department, and Newman Bruce representing the royal family and nobles.

Their respective origins are also the basic form of the separation of powers in the empire.

The holographic projection in the conference room was old and incompatible with the files brought by Cai Peibai, so we had to switch to flat projection.

Cai Peibai is a serious middle-aged woman with short capable hair, who looks more like a member of the military than Colonel Kane next to her.

She used PADD to slide a few pages, which were some three-dimensional maps of Noah, with different terrains marked in dark and light colors.

Yu Yan easily recognized the hinterland of the forest and the continuous underground "unknown area" marked in black.

It was exactly the same with what Lin Rusong left him with the detector and the special glasses.

Yu Yan suddenly understood: they didn't come for Farami, but for "Black Diamond".

However, the list of project members shown in the documents that Mr. Lin passed to him clearly does not have any of these people.

Where did they learn about it?

Is the so-called "authorization" really authorized?

His Majesty who proposed this plan is still missing, and the teacher in charge of it is busy with His Majesty's affairs, and has no time to deal with other things for the time being

Lin Lao revealed this matter to him, which should have been instructed by his teacher; but it was only to let him know, and he did not say that he would take any further actions.

Who on earth leaked the secret, and who instructed them to act?

Cai Peibai pointed to the dark areas with the cursor: "Commander, do you know what this is?"

Yu Yan didn't answer right away.

Since they came here for this, their answers and attitudes will not actually affect their follow-up actions.

Cai Peibai carefully observed the expression of the young officer, he was calmer than she imagined, and did not reveal any surprise that he shouldn't have.

Newman Bruce, who was sitting next to him, spoke, no longer beating around the bush: "It is a unique mineral on the Noah star, and we named it 'Black Diamond'."

Yu Yan stood with his hands behind his back: "You tell me this, is there any intention? Do you need me to lead the garrison to mine this kind of mineral?"

He said this cleverly, not only removed himself from the range of insiders, but also re-established Noah's command.

Cai Peibai propped his hands on the table: "Commander, do you know anything about the Empire's 'Black Diamond' plan?"

Yu Yan looked as usual: "I don't know, ma'am."

"Are you really ignorant?" Cai Peibai said, "every sentence you say now, every word you answer, has legal effect. If you ask a question from your superiors, if you don't report it, it will be regarded as a concealment, and will be investigated according to the law." If it is serious, you may be sent to a ※martial court※.”

Her straightforward voice didn't sound like a threat, but more like an exhortation.

Cai Peibai asked again: "Commander, do you still insist on not knowing?"

Although he doesn't know much about political affairs, for some reason, his intuition tells Yu Yan that Cai Peibai and Newman Bruce are not in the same camp.

And very likely, there are disagreements about the "black diamond".

However, no matter what, before the teacher decides to announce, this plan should not be announced from his mouth, even if the other party weighs on his career.

Now that he is already in Nuohe, he has been unknown since then, and his illusory future is nothing compared to the extremely important top-secret project of the empire.

Lin Lao said what kind of butterfly effect the "black diamond" can bring. If the secret is leaked in advance, there may be tens of thousands of losses—money and life.

Yu Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked very submissive: "I really don't know."

Newman's expression turned cold.

As expected, Yu Yan denied it.

It was this denial with almost no hesitation that made him more convinced that Qiao Cho must have disclosed the project content to Yu Yan.

The expression on Cai Peibai's face couldn't tell whether she was satisfied with the answer. She nodded and didn't bother Yu Yan anymore, and then made some insignificant introductions around "Black Diamond", as if the few people who came here were just popularizing science and preaching.

Either way, it's a useless meeting.

After the meeting, Newman found Cai Peibai and left the meeting room while talking with her.

The content of the meeting is kept confidential, and irrelevant personnel are not allowed to come in. Yu Yan has to turn off the projector and clean up the scene by himself.

"commander."

Colonel Kane, who had been silent during the meeting just now, stopped him.

Yu Yan saluted: "Sir."

"How is life on Noah?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Just chat, this is a conversation that has nothing to do with the mission, don't be nervous, Captain."

"It's much better than I imagined." Yu Yan said, "However, sir, thank you for your appreciation, I'm a second lieutenant."

Kane was a little surprised: "You were promoted to captain the day you became Commander Noah. Don't you know?" He said, "This is some kind of compensation from the empire to the commanders assigned to remote planets."

Yu Yan really doesn't know that everyone here either calls him the officer or the commander, and no one has mentioned his military rank for a long time.

Before making any military exploits, the military rank will be automatically promoted by two consecutive ranks, just one step away from the school officer, which sounds very tempting to young people who have just left school.

In fact, after arriving at Desolate Star, it is equivalent to ruining the future, and it is meaningless to care about him as a lieutenant and academist.

Seeing the young man thinking silently, Kane took the initiative and said: "Don't be burdened by your answer, Captain, it's just because a friend of mine once served as an adjutant here for a while, and Colonel Lin Rusong was in charge of Noah at that time. My friend ...He is quite pampered. He is very dissatisfied with the environment here, complains all day long, and frequently submits applications for transfer to his home planet. I think it is not only him, except for Colonel Lin, everyone who has been here over the years is trying to leave. "

He stared into the black eyes of the young man: "But as far as I know, you have never applied. Why? What attracted you?"

Sounds like another way to find out.

It's like the subtext is, 'Did Black Diamond keep you? '

Yu Yan will not be fooled by this: "The environment here is full of challenges, and my soldiers are not as lazy as the rumors. They are all very good, but they lack some guidance."

"You mean, you're the one who saved them from going astray?"

"No, sir." Yu Yan was neither humble nor overbearing, "I will find the direction with them."

Colonel Kane smiled: "What an amazing answer. Another thing, before you came back, I had a chat with your soldiers, and they said that you want to catch the dragon here... called... ...what was it called? 'Ferrari'?"

"... Farami."

"Oh yes, that's the name." Kane's gaze carried a deep meaning of inquiry, "How is it going, Captain?"

"It's still being deployed. It's winter now, and dragons have the habit of hibernating. We haven't observed its activity track for a while."

"Hibernation, isn't it just suitable for eradication?" Kane asked, "Or, do you have any other reasons why you can't easily approach its lair?"

...then it went back again.

Compared with Cai Peibai, who was in charge of advancing, and the menacing Newman, Kane was the real old fox.

First he made an excuse that his friend had been transferred here, played the emotional card of empathy, and then asked all kinds of questions that seemed to care about him, but none of them could do without the "black diamond".

No wonder the inspection team composed of these three people each played different roles, the purpose was to find out his level of knowledge, or win him over, or convict him.

It is very likely that one of them will not share the useful information with others after mastering it, and give priority to strengthening the power of his own line.

Yu Yan understands Peng Yuxuan's worries that the empire will be shaken up—now that His Majesty, the backbone, may be overthrown, and of course all kinds of monsters and ghosts will emerge to fight for power.

Yu Yan responded to all changes without changing, and continued using Kane's words: "Mr. Cai just told me that there is a special mineral deposit called 'Black Diamond' near the Dragon's Nest. I don't know much about it yet. , if its activity is full of uncertainty as the member said, then rashly launching an attack on the dragon may implicate the 'Black Diamond' and cause its nature to change drastically. Before there is a mature plan, the impact is unknown. I After proper consideration, an application for assistance will be submitted to the Imperial Academy of Sciences."

As soon as I said this, I wanted to avoid their inspection team and go through the formal process-in fact, this is what should be done.

It just goes against some people's expectations.

Kane's face was not very good: "Commander, do you not trust us?"

"I haven't, sir. It's just that neither Congressman Cai, Your Excellency Newman, nor you, I think, have a scientific research background. Out of consideration for local residents, species and ecological environment, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."

He put the inhabitants of Noah on the scales, and the weights of the weights were no longer equal in an instant.

And the opponent can't put on a heavier one.

Kane understood that this conversation would not make any further progress: "Captain Yu Yan, please think carefully and make the most sensible decision, for the empire, for Star Noah, and for yourself."

There is no difference between what you say and "what you do".

The corner of Yu Yan's mouth raised a slight arc: "I will, sir."

Before he knew it, he had already started to learn how to play Tai Chi with the dead wood.

The days in January are short and the nights come quickly.

Human settlements are mainly distributed at the junction of the forest and the desert, where it is neither too dry nor too humid, keeping away the poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants in the desert, and keeping away from all kinds of beasts in the forest , is the ideal location.

Newman Bruce got up at one o'clock in the morning and came to the outpost near the desert.

The soldiers who took over the shift hadn't arrived yet. He stood on the observation deck and looked far into the distance. The desert under the night was surprisingly quiet, with occasional ripples, like a dark ocean.

Newman is already in his 40s, and he is no longer a young man who can stay up all night casually. It is really difficult to point it out in the winter.

He lit a cigarette, and the smell of nicotine and tar woke him up a bit.

After entering the Imperial Era, the Emperor banned the cultivation and processing of tobacco within the scope of the parent star, and only a small part moved to the companion star near the edge of the quadrant, and could not be sold outside at will, unless there were specially approved supply and marketing channels.

What used to be an easy pastime in the past is now a luxury.

When one-third of the cigarette tail was burned, someone came to the high platform.

"Sorry, sir, I'm late."

Shadows emerge from the darkness.

"Ah."

Newman dusted off the cigarette ash and was not very polite.

"How is Master Rembert doing?" asked the man.

"Not bad. He values ​​your work here."

"I am very honored."

"I hope you won't let me down, and don't let the old man down."

"I will, Your Excellency. How did your meeting go today?"

Newman held the cigarette between his fingers and sneered, "...that brat is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined. It's just oil and salt."

The voice in the dark laughed, "That's what he is. All of us are used to this temper."

"You like him very much?"

"Not to mention liking him. From what I've heard, some people hated him quite a bit at first. Most admired him, though."

"Ha, it's a talent that the empire needs. It's a pity that it got in the way..."

"You have confirmed that he is an insider? According to you, he answered fluently, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it."

"Because he has no flaws, he can prove that he is informed. An ignorant person must have flaws. Only by responding in advance and creating false appearances can he be seamless."

"What you said is true. He has a very close relationship with Major General Qiao and Colonel Lin. The last time Colonel Lin visited, he was personally received by Captain Yu throughout the visit. Even the kid who usually took care of the captain's life was not allowed to follow him."

"No one knows whether His Majesty will come back alive. The same is true for Qiao Cho. They are gone, and the old man Lin Rusong is even more isolated and helpless. The other members of this project are still in the home planet, and there is nothing related to Noah in the near future. Itinerary. It can only be handed over to Yu Yan."

"But we didn't intercept any special messages. The only one, the email sent by Colonel Lin to Captain Yu, although it was encrypted, was nothing special. It was just a proposal, which is not as well known as you and Mr. Cai. many."

Newman frowned upon hearing this.

This is also what he has always been puzzled about.

Since Qiao Cho regards Yu Yan as a backup plan, if he encounters an accident one day and Yu Yan takes over the "Black Diamond" project with full authority, besides attending the exchange in person, what other ways can he convey the information?

Soi Ying asked: "Your Excellency, is it possible that we have been looking in the wrong direction?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since we assume that the major general is using a special method, ordinary means such as letters can be ruled out, and it is not necessarily instant messaging. Therefore, if Captain Yu really needs to receive news, it is very likely that the news did not come from Major General Qiao or Issued by other project leaders."

Newman looked at him: "You mean, there may be a transfer station—and it's not on the home planet?"

"Yes, sir, I think it is possible."

"I haven't thought about it." Newman pondered, "Then, according to this line of thinking, we should search for different types of information carriers on Nuo'er planet. Have any strangers appeared around Yu Yan?"

"No. But for a period of time, he often went into the forest alone without letting anyone follow him, and he went there for several days."

"Forest...I see. All right, you can work and continue to monitor him. I will contact you if there is any change."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Newman took the elevator out of the observation deck and out of the post.

Lin Rusong didn't have any problems with this pawn that his father deployed on Nuohe back then, but Yu Yan was much more sensitive than Lin Rusong, so it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't notice it.

If necessary, he would act first before the Bruce family was involved.

He smokes a second cigarette.

The smoke drifted into the cold air. Newman took out his wrist phone and dialed a completely unfamiliar frequency band that did not belong to this quadrant.

"Hi, I'm Newman Bruce from the First Empire. Please transfer me..."

The inspection team stayed for a week.

Although the main purpose is to come to the "black diamond", other superficial skills must be done well, and the training situation of the soldiers is randomly checked every day.

Due to the special nature of the army, the New Year's holiday must be a rotation.

During the statutory 20 days, only one-third of the people can take a normal vacation, and the remaining two-thirds must continue to stick to their posts.

Normal leave should be applied for one month in advance, except for special circumstances, first come, first served.

Now, the people who stayed only hated the extra credit they gained when they were on duty during the holidays, and lost the big because of small losses-who wants to hang around under the noses of the superiors all day long?

In the morning routine training, the inspection team came again, and the soldiers saw them as if they saw the god of plague.

The three of them were whispering and pointing at the soldiers, Yu Yan was some distance away from them, Huang Yangmin stood behind him, and whispered: "Those guys have complained to me no less than a hundred times."

"what?"

"The group of bastards on duty now." Huang Yangmin tutted, "Yesterday, eight people were taken out by Colonel Kane for punishment because of laziness, distraction, and substandard movements. They practiced until dinner time. They collapsed in the snow, I can't even eat anymore."

Yu Yan imagined that scene, and chuckled: "Who told them not to behave well."

He himself usually makes the same "judgment".

Huang Yangmin looked at his smile: "Yes, that's right, this is it."

Yu Yan: "?"

Huang Yangmin: "They said, it's better to be punished by you. Colonel Kane can only see his bald head, and you, at least run ten kilometers to make a beautiful woman smile—"

Yu Yan: "...I suggest they stop such dangerous speeches."

On the eighth day, which was the last day of the New Year's holiday, the three of them finally had the intention of leaving.

All the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

But they said that before leaving, they decided to go to the hinterland of the forest.

In name, it is to see the instrument that monitors the activity of the giant dragon. The actual purpose is, of course, to see the "black diamond" with my own eyes.

Yu Yan raised his tone again.

Huang Yangmin earnestly advised all the officers that the hinterland is very dangerous, and Kane’s military background is better. Those with little experience like Cai Peibai and Newman are very unsuitable.

It's a pity that people speak lightly and no one listens to him.

Yu Yan knew that this was what they came for, and they wouldn't give up until they saw it, so they could only arrange for a small team of escorts to go there in a patrol spaceship.

He wasn't worried about what these people would do to "Black Diamond" on the spot, or disturb the sleeping big guy in the dragon's lair.

He was worried about another bluffing little guy.

It had been a whole week since he returned from his home planet, and the inspection team, especially Newman, had been closely monitoring him, and there was no chance of slipping into the forest.

In other words, he hadn't seen Farami for a week.

Or to put it another way, Farami hadn't seen him for a week.

These are two completely different concepts, because he is a mature adult with self-control, but Farami is not.

Yu Yan wasn't sure if Farami would do something impulsively if he saw himself in the forest.

In particular, there is a snow dumpling who can read minds beside her.

Yu Yan himself didn't care about Newman's obvious dislike for him, and he could even guess that the other party wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him; facing a nobleman and current superior, he could only see the tricks, and it was impossible to hurt him first. other side.

But Ning Ning didn't know that much. It wanted to launch an attack when Newman kidnapped Yu Yan for the first time, but fortunately Yu Yan was by his side to stop it in time.

No one can stop it this time.

In case Ningning told Farami about this again, he couldn't imagine what Xionglong would do to defend his partner...

Just thinking about it, Yu Yan's head grew bigger.

He must notify Farami in advance, and no matter what he sees, he must remain calm and not foolishly expose himself to the enemy when he is unprepared.

Fortunately, he was a prepared man.

A week ago, when he was still on the home planet, in Peng Yuxuan's apartment, after receiving a video call from Huang Yangmin and learning that someone was coming to inspect, Yu Yan had already started making arrangements in advance.

First of all, Farami will return to the forest first, and it is best to meet Ningning;

After that, Yu Yan may have time to contact them.

But the inspection team will definitely monitor his itinerary. In this way, he absolutely cannot go to the forest to find the two little guys by himself.

Therefore, Yu Yan needs a trustworthy but inconspicuous assistant to complete these things for him.

——Alan, who has met Farami and Ningning and is also an aborigine, naturally became the best choice.

On the same day, after Yu Yan finished communicating with Huang Yangmin, he called A Lan immediately, and told him to postpone the remaining half of the vacation and return to the village. He should not show up at the base in the near future, and he should not take the initiative to contact himself.

Now is the time for these preparations to take effect.

Before setting off with the inspection team, Yu Yan found a way to contact A Lan, and asked the other party to run first with the previously agreed code, and must hold down Farami.

On the day the group entered the forest, Yu Yan was worried that no accident would happen.

Although Ah Lan looks young and chatters out of shape, she is still reliable in her work.

The dragon cub and the velvet spirit beast never showed up.

The inspection team saw the continuous underground minerals that were as gorgeous as the black aurora as they wished, and the shock they received was no less than the previous Yuyan.

They each have their own calculations and return with satisfaction.

The inspection that lasted for so long was finally coming to an end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Yan finally had his first good night's sleep in these days.

He curled himself up, the brain that had been working so hard for so long finally got some rest, and instead became a little empty.

After all, after sleeping in another warm embrace for so long, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality to sleep alone.

almost.

He closed his eyes.

After tomorrow, he will be able to pick him up.

Yu Yan was awakened by a severe headache.

The curtains were not drawn, it was still dark outside, and it was snowing silently.

Yu Yan glanced at the time, it was 01:30 in the morning.

Actually, it wasn't just today.

I have been feeling uncomfortable intermittently for the past few days, but I didn't care about it before. After all, it is normal for the brain to be overloaded in the face of the inspection team's continuous work and high mental stress.

But it's not quite right that it hurts like it is today.

He got out of bed and searched for painkillers. Compared with pills, although there are stronger side effects, they also work faster.

In the early morning, he had to send the inspection team away. He had to behave better, and not let those people catch him.

Yu Yan found out the injection, and just about to inject himself, there was another wave of intense pain that seemed to kill him.

His eyes blurred and he almost fainted.

Big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, Yu Yan bit his lip to wake himself up, pushed the potion into his upper arm, then slumped down against the cabinet, slumped on the ground.

The only thing to do now is to wait.

Theoretically, this medicine takes effect in about 10 minutes. Yu Yan has used it before, and it is indeed very fast.

However, half an hour later, the pain still has not been relieved in the slightest.

This is not a good sign.

Yu Yan struggled to pull out the inspection instrument, and scanned it from beginning to end.
