Beyond Gold and Jade [Interstellar ABO]

At this moment, in the vast universe, there is an inconspicuous spaceship that is speeding towards a certain course.

After the second prince hung up the communication, he ignored them. He didn't know whether he was immersed in the pleasure of revenge or was busy arranging the manpower for Zongxing to respond. He sank into the soft chair and manipulated the boss All kinds of equipment on the console are very busy anyway.

The way Zergs communicate information is very different from that of human beings. They don’t need tools for short-distance conversations. They rely more on the primitive instincts of insects thousands of years ago. Apart from language, they can use sensitive olfactory organs. to identify some semiochemicals.Zerg at a higher level, such as the second prince, can also transmit information within a certain distance through a method similar to "sympathy".

A few big bugs touched each other's tentacles in front of them, and after a brief two or three seconds, they would turn their heads and tap on the operating table with their huge clumsy forelimbs, which was quite dexterous.

The front cabin of the spaceship was very hot, but the three cages imprisoning humans in the back were peaceful.

In addition to the humanoid second prince, there were five adult Zergs on the spaceship. Three of them controlled the course and overall operation of the spaceship in the control room, and the remaining two stood by the cage, keeping their eyes on each other very seriously.

Wen Jingyi was injected with a mental relaxant because he was too noisy, and now he is lying on the ground unconscious.The sound of his fussing disappeared in the entire cabin, and it immediately became much quieter.

Pei Qingque sat half leaning against the alloy railing, her eyes kept the camouflaged hollowness.Somewhat worried about the safety of his comatose friend, Pei Qingque quietly turned his face from an angle where the guards could not see, and cast a subtle worried look at Wen Jingyi.

When Wen Jingyi recognized him at a glance before, Pei Qingque was still a little nervous, afraid that the second prince would become suspicious and expose his disguise.

It's just that the second prince's conceit is deeper than he imagined, and he doesn't believe that anyone can sacrifice himself to such an extent, let alone relying on the triangle relationship between Pei Qingque, Gu and Meng, to send Gu Dingci here again. In the eyes of the Second Prince, killing people with a borrowed knife is nothing more than a matter of course.

After confirming that Wen Jingyi was just asleep, Pei Qingque let go of his hanging heart a little bit, and while the Zerg guards were not paying attention, he reached out and touched the cloth on his body that was wet with cold water.On the contrary, he was quite optimistic, thinking that fortunately, he had been on guard for a long time, and he used waterproof cosmetics.

Compared with normal people, the picture in front of me is already very blurred. It seems that through a layer of fog, only the outline can be seen, without details and colors. The assistant Pei Qingque can act more like it.

In a sense, Pei Qingque barely "cannot see".But compared to a truly blind person, he who relies on contact lenses to block his vision is not truly blind.

The light from the outside world penetrated through the corners of the shading lenses, casting a blank whiteness in front of Pei Qingque's eyes.Drops of water flowed down from the crevices of the hair, and brought a slight cold after touching the air.

There was still a feeling of suffocation in front of his neck, and the stagnation in front of his chest did not disappear with the passage of time. Contrary to what Pei Qingque imagined, it was like a big mountain, firmly pressed on it, with a heavy weight It kept increasing, making him breathless.

Pei Qingque was distracted thinking about how it feels to not be able to see the world with his own eyes.

Wrapped in darkness, every minute and every second is infinitely elongated, and every step is like stepping on the tip of a knife carefully.The sense of smell and touch will really become more sensitive... It's just that it's not a good thing to think about being held hostage by someone like this.

Using the identity of a "blind person" as a disguise, Pei Qingque took advantage of the loopholes. Although her whole body was stiff and motionless, her sight was scanned around by the lens, as if she was looking for something.

Always remembering that his current identity is "Gu Dingci", Pei Qingque did not move much, recalling Gu Dingci's usual words and deeds, trying to integrate himself into the role of a blind person.

Fortunately, it was me who came... Pei Qingque looked around calmly, and finally found the sign of the emergency escape cabin in an inconspicuous corner, and lamented that if Mr. Gu was really arrested, he would have walked in There is no chance of survival at all.

Things have come to this point, and once the first step has been taken, there is no turning back.

Instead of Gu Dingci becoming the hostage of the Zerg, Pei Qingque has actually made all the calculations and psychological preparations.It's not a decision made only by relying on solitary courage and passion.

Pei Qingque couldn't do harm to others for her own benefit, and naturally she wouldn't be provoked by the second prince's short words. In desperation, she could only choose a way to get the best of both worlds. more than difficult.

The second prince needs to use Gu Dingci to threaten Huo Zhoutong in order to achieve a certain military purpose, which also shows that as a hostage, his life will not be threatened in a short time.

In the laboratory, Pei Qingque found a lot of Zerg-related materials that Gu Dingci had researched recently. He couldn't understand the difficult content, but he could always understand the basic living habits and abilities of Zerg.

When she saw the page of empathy, Pei Qingque almost instantly remembered those videos with strange angles.There was a faint conclusion in his heart. It wasn't until the second prince played the so-called "surveillance videos" to Meng Wangchuan just now that Pei Qingque confirmed the fact that all the previous monitoring came from scouting bugs.

Thinking of the two little bugs he killed before he acted, Pei Qingque heaved a sigh of relief, and was sure that he had made the right bet. The Second Prince had monitored everything... except for the most critical part.

No one knew that what he pushed into the warehouse was an empty box.There was no wavering at all, no betrayal, no betrayal. From the beginning to the end, he was the one who was kidnapped, held hostage and imprisoned.

The messages dialed to Wen Jingyi's communicator were pre-recorded, and those instructions about Meng Wangchuan were all smoke bombs, just to relax the second prince's vigilance.

Gu Dingci was given sleeping pills before, and the side effects were very small, but there were a little bit.He felt a little sorry for this, so he deliberately gave up his room for Mr. Gu to have a good sleep.

In this way, the identity of the two people can be changed more smoothly and more thoroughly.

After that, things became more logical. The locator in his arm has not been dug out. A few minutes before he was about to leave Meng's house, Pei Qingque yelled over Mianmian and told him to put the signal receiver on whenever he saw Mr. Meng. Hand it over to him.

Mianmian's brain is not very good, Pei Qingque will do whatever she says, and she won't doubt much, let alone talk too much.Before leaving, she asked him with a sweet smile: "Master, when will you go home for dinner?"

...How did you answer it back then?Pei Qingque clutched the corner of her clothes and remembered.

He touched his smooth iron head, told a little lie, and said, "Soon, I'll be back in a while."

I don't know if Mianmian will blame herself for deceiving it after knowing the truth? ...Probably not, after all he is so brave.

Well, not really that brave.

One thing Pei Qingque had to admit was that he was actually afraid, not as brave as he showed.

When I deceived the second prince, I was afraid that the lie would be exposed. I sat alone in the dark room of the warehouse. He was smashed to pieces.

...In fact, he almost couldn't pretend just now.

The second prince is best at turning black and white. Hearing those words that smeared him, Pei Qingque didn't want Mr. Meng to believe it, but also thought desperately, maybe this kind of explanation is more in line with common sense, isn't it?

Probably because he had made a little awareness of facing death, that's why Pei Qingque said some very exaggerated words to Meng Wangchuan before he left in place of Gu Dingci.

As long as Meng Wangchuan believed it, he got angry and hated him.

Maybe he won't be so nostalgic for this world when he is facing death, and Mr. Meng's heartache will be... a little less.

But Pei Qingque still overestimated his perseverance, and after a few hours of being separated from Mr. Meng, his heart was no longer so firm.He would be worried that the second prince would suddenly turn his back on him, that he would not be able to save Wen Jingyi, that Meng Wangchuan would not receive the clues he had left... and even more worried that the other party would simply give up.

Let go of an already insignificant fake.

Pei Qingque only felt that he was a weak and useless person. After living for 20 years, the greatest value of his whole body, inside and out, was that he had a face like Gu Dingci's, so he occupied the magpie's nest and stole it. So much love that should have belonged to Mr. Gu.

……wrong!

Shaking her head, Pei Qingque realized that she was almost swallowed up by those habitual cowardice and shrinking again.

He touched the biochemical reagents found in Gu Dingci's laboratory in his pocket, and bit his lower lip cruelly, trying to use the pain to drive out those wild thoughts.Force yourself to cheer up and be tougher.

Regardless of whether Meng Wangchuan received the clues he left, whether he would send someone to rescue him... Now that the escape pod has been found, the next step is to find an opportunity to escape from this place with Wen Jingyi and Uncle Wen.

Just when Pei Qingque was about to stand up and wanted to create a commotion and look for an opportunity, there was only a muffled "bang", and the entire hull of the spaceship trembled slightly.

Partially blocked by the half-open hatch in the middle, Pei Qingque turned around. Although the picture in front of him was colorless, the vibration of the entire cabin became more and more obvious, and Zergs also came from the control room. Lots of noise from the hassle.

In the next second, the entire spaceship was filled with harsh alarms, and the mechanical female voice sounded, repeating the warning words in the Zerg language.
