Beyond Gold and Jade [Interstellar ABO]

suburbs.

It was already very late, and the blackened sky was like a huge and heavy curtain, covering directly above the bushes, blocking the light and heat, and isolating the noise.

This area is the largest cultivation forest in the star field. It is specially used to plant various types of trees. The finished products are cut down regularly and sent to the corresponding processing factories.

Between the jungle is a row of orderly simple warehouses. The exterior is uniformly painted in dark white, and the wood that has been turned into wood blocks is stored inside but has not had time to be transported.

Because there are too many warehouses, dotted among the dense forests, and the current timber prices are really low, the sales volume is bleak, and it is very worthless.So no one would waste security money for this unwanted arbor forest.

Naturally, no one would find out that the door of a certain warehouse was pried open tonight, and walked in swaggeringly.

——The second prince came to the star field this time because he sneaked behind the Zerg emperor's back. It violated the foot ban and didn't dare to say anything, so he only brought five or six attendants.

When he thought about why he had fallen to this point, the second prince, who was still unable to leave the human body for the time being, suddenly felt bad.

It stood behind the warehouse door with its arms folded, watching its subordinates close the warehouse door bit by bit with two large pliers, and turned around after making sure that no one would disturb its plan. Go deep into the warehouse.

There is no light source installed in the warehouse, so it can only be illuminated by the dim light coming in from the tall and narrow windows.The eyesight of the Zerg was worse than that of humans. Without the assistance of the tentacles, the second prince, who was wearing a human shell, was upset and uncomfortable.

The second prince led his entourage forward in the dark, but unfortunately he didn't take a few steps when he was startled by a crisp sound coming from under his feet. I picked up some broken remains from the soles of my feet.

After staring at the dim light coming in from the window for a while, he confirmed that it was the corpse of the scout bug he had sent out, and the second prince's already restless mood became even more turbulent.The attendants around felt the low-frequency sound waves coming from the prince, and were startled by the gloomy emotions in it. They all lowered their triangular heads, trembling, and did not dare to move.

The Zerg actually has two growth directions. One can grow into a large adult after differentiation. The carapace is hard and the combat power is strong. It can charge and fight on the battlefield and expand the territory for the survival of the group.The other type is just the opposite. Their growth method is more similar to degeneration. After shedding their shells again and again, their body size gradually shrinks. As a result, their thinking ability and combat effectiveness also degenerate. They can hide themselves, but once they are discovered, they are extremely easy to die.

But along with the change in body size, this small black bug, which is about the size of a peanut grain, will have an ability called "sympathy". The frequency is connected, taking advantage of the other party's small size and flexible movements, and seeing everything the other party can see through empathy.

Through resonance, they can be easily manipulated to fly to any place they want to investigate, so as to achieve the purpose of reconnaissance and surveillance.The reason why the second prince was able to capture the movements of Pei and Meng in such a timely manner before was mostly thanks to these little things.

Yes, the development of Zerg technology is far less than that of humans. The two parties have been able to entangle for so many years, thanks to the role played by the evolution of creatures themselves.

It's just that the probability of such "different evolution" is not high, so the number of these scouting bugs is not as large as that of ordinary Zerg, and they are relatively rare.

The second prince only brought two when he came to Starfield this time—the two who are now lying in his palm and have become corpses.

It was discovered.

The second prince closed his eyes and read the last video left by the scout worm before his death, and found that Pei Qingque's back appeared in the picture as expected, walking in the warehouse, pushing a half-person-high box toward the dark room.

Presumably, the box contained Gu Dingci who was unconscious.

It didn't take long for the second prince to see that Pei Qingque turned his head suddenly as if he had suddenly realized something, his eyes seemed to have caught the direction of the scout bug, then he frowned and strode over.

After a while of distortion, the image recorded by the empathy ended here, leaving only darkness in front of the eyes of the second prince.

Tch, useless stuff.

Throwing away the insect corpse in his hand with a dark face, the second prince strode forward, secretly deciding in his heart, to aim at the two scouting insects who died tragically... If Pei Qingque dared to play him, then the next second It was Wen Jingyi's death date.

Pushing open the hidden door in the warehouse, the Second Prince walked in without hesitation.

The cool air blowing towards his face and the stale woody fragrance stimulated the second prince's human nasal cavity, causing it to sneez hard.Rubbing the tip of his nose uncomfortably, the second prince opened his eyes wide and scanned the dark room.

Darkrooms are usually opened to store wood that is easy to deteriorate and rot. However, there is no pile of wood in the room at this time. There is only a lonely old wooden chair in the empty room, and the person sitting on it is facing Facing the door, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Trying to open his eyes wide in the darkness, the second prince took a few steps forward and approached the human being.

It was obvious that the other party was falling into a deep coma due to the effects of the drugs, his hands were resting weakly on the armrests of the chair, and his overly long forehead hair was hanging down due to the influence of gravity, blocking half of his face.The dark room is very quiet, so it can even easily capture the slow and heavy breathing of the human being in front of it.

Stretching out his hand to brush away the broken hair that covered his face, the second prince resisted the excitement of the imminent revenge, and looked at the other's face relying on the little halo that came in from the door.

Like, it's so similar.

That face that was basically identical to Pei Qingque's was reflected in the pupils of the second prince, and the first reaction that popped up in his mind was such a sigh.

The second prince has a higher degree of evolution than ordinary adults. Compared with other Zerg, it is better able to distinguish the different facial features of different humans.It was also because of this that it was able to confirm that the human being in front of him who looked very similar to Pei Qingque was Huo Zhoutong's true love, the legendary general's wife - Gu Dingci.

The second prince rubbed his chin, half-closed his eyes, and was about to call his attendant to come over and carry him away, when the Zerg came up with a broken communicator and interrupted his voice.

This communicator was confiscated the day Wen Jingyi was arrested by it, and the second prince used it to communicate with Pei Qingque for a few days.

Seeing Pei Qingque's name appear on the screen with several cracks vertically and horizontally, the second prince frowned and pressed the connect button with great interest.

Soon, Pei Qingque's voice sounded from the other end: "I have already brought them, when will you let Xiao Yi and the others go?"

The second prince laughed at the other party's innocence in his heart, but on the surface he said hypocritically: "Don't worry, when I bring Gu Dingci onto the spaceship, I will release your friend immediately."

"You've done a good job, and the empire will reward you..." Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the communication was cut off, leaving only the second prince's voice echoing in the dark room.

Being humiliated, the second prince gritted his teeth angrily, said "bah", and immediately waved, ordering an attendant to drive over the spaceship hidden in the deep forest not far away, and the rest were responsible for moving Gu Dingci onto the spaceship.

Let people go?Hmph, that's a good idea... I'll kill you all after using it!

***

Nesting comfortably on the soft chair in the control room of the spacecraft, the second prince tilted his neck, turned his head 180 degrees, and looked happily at the three humans imprisoned in the alloy cage behind him.

Wen Jingyi and Wen Zaiye were imprisoned on the two sides respectively, while Gu Dingci lay unconscious on the ground in the middle.Appreciating his spoils, the second prince was very proud.

Wen Jingyi was dragged out of the small dark room by those disgusting big bugs, and he was very rude in his mouth. Even though he was weak, he still kept cursing and refused to stop.

It wasn't until Wen Jingyi saw the face of the unconscious "stranger" with a casual glance, that he exclaimed, "Queer!!"

"Silly boy, this is not your 'good' friend." Hearing Wen Jingyi's scream, the second prince sneered and provoked maliciously: "Seeing how anxious you are, you can be regarded as a person who values ​​love and righteousness... It's a pity, Pei Qingque never thought of saving you at all."

"You fucking try to talk nonsense again?!!!!"

Wen Jingyi's eyes were red, and he was panting heavily, obviously very excited.

... Ever since the nagging man in front of him broke into his home and took him and Wen Zaiye away, Wen Jingyi has been staying in the cell. No matter how much he asked, the bugs guarding them didn't say a word. I don't know why I was arrested.

The bug seemed to be afraid of Alpha's combat power, and had been injecting Wen Zaye with nerve anesthesia during the period, so until now, Wen Zaye has not been able to wake up from his lethargic state.

Now, even though he was brought out of the small dark room, Wen Jingyi found to his dismay that the two people around him were in a coma, and what he was facing was a psychopath, neuropathy and even talking nonsense, insisting that the person next to him was not Pei Qing Que, and said that Que'er never thought of saving him...

Damn, retarded.

Wen Jingyi wrinkled his nose, stopped talking to that "person" with the same strange appearance and brain, and turned his attention back to Pei Qingque, calling his name one after another.

Seeing that the only human being who was awake ignored him, the second prince snorted coldly and didn't care. He twisted his neck back and looked at the gradually increasing numbers on the display panel with satisfaction, representing that they were moving away from the star field.

After thinking about it, the second prince suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Taking advantage of the signal that he had not completely left the star field, he found out the contact information that Meng Wangchuan had disclosed from the information collected by his subordinates before, and sent a video call to Meng Wangchuan with a very bad taste. ask.

The small circle representing the connection was spinning, and it took about 3 minutes before the other party connected.
