Veteran Cadre and Bug Chief [Interstellar]

I was lucky enough to board an interstellar ship four months after I was born. It is also an alien ship with an intelligence factor far beyond the technological level of the original planet, and this ship will soon carry myself to another alien ship whose development level is also much higher than that of the original planet. star.

When Qi Qiu was just four months and six days old, he achieved what other dogs of the same kind might not be able to achieve in their lifetime.It has transformed from an ordinary "Chuan Chuan" with mixed blood to a "space dog" with extraordinary experience.

However, no matter whether it is the "Chuan Chuan" that can be seen everywhere in the streets or the "space dog" that is unique in thousands of miles, it has no effect on Qi Qiu's deity. I don't feel how precious I am after having "Space Dog".

It has no concept of it at all.

With a pair of blue eyes and gray-black fur, Qi Qiu only cares about one thing, that is whether his favorite master played with him today.

In fact, considering Qi Fei's current racial identity, Qi Qiu should have no "master", only "master worm".But it can't tell the difference between the two at all, and no one will force it to tell the difference.

Anyway, Qi Qiu only needs to know that the person he follows after opening and closing his eyes every morning and evening is Qi Fei.

Qi Qiu is the little hairball that left the earth with Qi Fei.

It wasn't until the luggage was put away in the cabin of the ship that Qi Fei remembered that he should name the little hairball.

From the fact that Husky's first character "ha" was directly extracted back then, and then a vulgar "small" was added to form the name "Xiaoha", which shows that Qi Fei's naming level is not very good.

Qi Fei looked at Xiao Maotuan's gray-black fur. He was hesitating between "Little Black" and "Little Hui", but Yan suddenly said from the side, "Actually, it looks like a ball."

The elderly keep pets, just like raising children a generation later. They always think that it is a blessing for the little ones to eat more.

Qi Qiuda has received this "eat more is a blessing" education since he was born. Its vertical development is mediocre, and its horizontal development is excellent.

Qi Fei took a closer look at the puppy's fluffy appearance even without deliberately curling it up, and felt that what Chief Chong said made sense.

In this way, Qi Qiu got rid of the fate of being named by fur color, and entered the ending of being named by body shape.

As for Qi Qiu's name, instead of adding "Xiao" in front of it, Qi Fei's "Qi" was fortunately added. This detail change is also related to Yan.

"Since we're all family members, it's okay to share a family name." Yan squatted beside Qi Qiu when he said this. At this time, the voyage back to Zerg Star had already passed halfway, so he sneaked in and wandered over to Qi Fei. While looking at Qi Fei in an upright manner, he also patted the dog.

Yan is the second person Qi Qiu is familiar with on this ship. Although they met with the weird "Wow", Qi Qiu doesn't mind this strange big guy imitating his own words. It has a good impression of Yan, basically Put Yan in the second position next to Qi Fei.

Hearing Yan mention the surname, Qi Fei's heart suddenly moved: "Your surname...do you mind if I ask this?"

Most of the Zerg fighters who participated in the joint exercise had a single name and one word. At first Qi Fei thought it was the naming feature of the Zerg, and they only used single characters for their names. with a surname.

Then, why are they also differentiated from traditional communities, but some subjects have no surnames, only single names?

Qi Fei wondered about this for a while, but he had to deal with too much messy information at that time, so he forgot this doubt for a while, and then remembered it again.

After hearing this question, Yan raised his eyes that were looking at the puppy.

Qi Fei read a little disappointment from the silent gaze.

Yan asked Qi Fei: "When you browsed the data in the chip, did you skip my file?"

Qi Fei: "..."

It was deliberately placed at the forefront of all the materials, clearly expressing the expectation that I want myself to read this one first, but I deliberately skipped the behavior of not reading it, but was directly captured by the other party who had made such careful preparations.

Facing Yan's gaze, Qi Fei realized that he felt a little guilty.

If he insisted on getting to the bottom of it, Qi Fei couldn't explain why he refused to check the information.That document was not like Pandora's box, it would not bring any misfortune to the person who opened it, but he subconsciously avoided it.

Of course, this avoidance is not because he hates the owner of this material.

Qi Fei is sure that he is not disgusted with words, not even with the other party's clumsy approach and occasional teasing. The only grudge he has towards the other party is the boundary between him and another "he". Too sure if Chief Bug has made their differences clear by now.

Naturally, the admiration for another self cannot be directly applied to him.

Yan got the answer to the rhetorical question from this silence. He was indeed a little disappointed, but he tried his best to hide it: "If..."

Surprised that he almost complained as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan quickly stopped the sentence "If you read that document", he pretended that he hadn't said anything just now, and started another topic: "Only after the third stage of evolution Before having a long-term stable guardianship family, a minor Zerg will be given a surname by the household registration system based on the name of the head of the guardianship family, and adult Zerg will no longer enjoy this right to add a surname.”

Qi Fei noticed the truncated "if", but he complied with Yan's expectations, and did not break through the forcibly reversed words: "Having a long-term stable guardian family before the third stage of evolution-this is a universal conditions, or is it only targeted to certain groups?"

"Targeted." Yan replied, "Cubs born in a stable family with both parents and not abandoned by the original family, they have a surname since they registered their newborn cubs' household registration. This condition only applies to those in the holding center. grown-up objects."

"Asylum center" is a very easy-to-understand term, which is roughly equivalent to orphanages, orphanages, shelters and other places on earth.

"The asylum center was established shortly after the establishment of the new empire. Its original intention was to provide a good and orderly shelter for the orphans left over from the civil war. Minor Zerg who lost their guardianship families can enter the asylum center and live in the center. During the growing period, all education expenses, board and lodging will be paid and managed by the center, and the funds will come directly from the financial appropriation of the empire.” Yan Bian explained to Qi Fei, a new resident of the high-level Zerg race, about the reception center He rubbed Qiqiu’s belly while he was busy, “A small number of lucky ones will be picked and taken away by adoptive families shortly after entering the center. , we can only stay in the center until adulthood. It is not until after the third stage of evolution that we become adults with the ability to protect themselves and fulfill the labor contract. The guardianship relationship between us and the containment center ends here. Completely detached from the center and have to earn a living on their own.”

The first half of the paragraph is still narrated from the perspective of a third party, but the voice of the second half has changed, and the personal pronoun has become "we".

Qi Fei already understood the reason why the other party lacked a surname when he said that the condition was specific rather than universal. He quietly listened to the other party's words, and vaguely glimpsed the other party's appearance when he was young from the description .

You have to rely on yourself to earn a living-this sentence is said lightly, but you have just grown up, have no foundation, and want to earn a living when you have almost nothing, and you don't need to think about it. It must be very difficult.

Yan raised his head and glanced at Qi Fei's expression, not knowing what he read, the movements of his hands stopped suddenly.

Qi Qiu immediately did a not-so-standard belly roll, raised his upper body and looked at Yan, Yan squeezed the pad of this happy little fool who didn't know anything and was spoiled by others, and the voice continued with the movement: "This Most of the subjects on this ship are unlucky."

Qi Fei thought about this sentence for a while. He was once curious about why the team led by Yan seemed so loyal and united. Recalling the large single names on the roster of the Zerg side, I found that I seemed to have found the reason.

Compared with the ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, there is a deeper interactive relationship between Chief Insect and the soldiers directly under him.

They come from the same origin, and their circumstances in a certain age group are roughly the same, and they may even have known each other when they were in the detention center.

Among the group of young faces who came out of the detention center, ignorant and helpless, Yan seemed to go higher and farther.

After acquiring a new identity, some soaring people will rush to draw a line with the past. They avoid the past living environment like snakes and scorpions, and they are afraid to avoid even their old acquaintances. Pull down from where it is now.

But words obviously do not belong to this category.

He stretched out his hand towards his "past", and pulled those like him who needed to work hard to earn a living as he did back then.

"but."

Qi Fei was a little lost in thought, but thanks to his ears not wandering out of the sky together, the "but" was fed back to his mind in time, allowing him to recover quickly.

Yan said: "You are willing to board this ship and go back with us. At least for me, I feel very lucky."

Instead of returning directly to the Zombie Planet on the Zuo family's special ship as originally planned, Qi Fei is currently taking the military ship that has finished the joint exercise and is returning from Gondo to the Zombie Planet.

An Lai, who arrived in Gondo temporarily, was only an escrow after all. Yan was the official leader of this joint exercise, and he was even the active initiator of the joint exercise.With the addition of multiple titles, he must rush back to Gondo before all training programs are over in order to attend the final training ceremony.

According to the original plan, Yan should board the shuttle after the special ship of the Zuo family left the earth, and rush back to Gondo star as soon as possible.

Before Zuo En rushed back to Gondo in the shuttle, he whispered to Qi Fei: "If you don't mind a little later, it would be better if we go back with the returning training troops."

Qi Fei: "Better?"

"Yes."

Zuo En nodded seriously, and then stated the reason to Qi Fei.

That's why Qi Fei knew that this joint exercise, which was regarded as a "double-edged sword" by the high-level human beings, was actually the willful action of a certain worm chief.

Zuo En said: "Yan didn't tell us anything at the beginning, and we also don't know why he wanted to hold this joint exercise with humans. Humans have neither established diplomatic relations with us, nor have any short-term interaction plans for human beings. But Yan insisted on holding this joint exercise. He struggled with his superiors for a long time. After he won the upper hand's tone loose, he fought against everyone's opinions at the joint meeting. Now is the time to hold this joint exercise,"

Qi Fei's focus was inattentive and a little bit off: "All the...all the vacations I have accumulated since joining the job?"

"Yes." Zuo En sighed, "Except for the necessary recuperation for injuries, he basically has no days off throughout the year, and the accumulated vacations are enough for him to take paid vacations for three cycles of months. This trip led the team to take a vacation."

Unexpectedly, this joint exercise was not easy to come by, Qi Fei was silent for a moment.

He mentioned this matter to Yan a long time later. At that time, Chief Chong was a little embarrassed, because he didn't expect that Chong would reveal his truth behind his back.

When Yan first joined the military, he worked under An Lai's command. Although An Lai came from a family, he treated his subordinates equally, and liked to cultivate those who were down-to-earth and willing to work hard.

An Lai understood Yan's movements, and he shared the information he had learned with his partner, and Zuo En then "borrowed flowers to present Buddha" and passed it all on to Qi Fei.

"It was indeed a bit difficult at the time." Chief Chong, who was mentioned by Qi Fei about the difficulties in the past, replied, "But at least it worked out."

Qi Fei rubbed the short brown hair that was slightly fluffy after cleaning, and then the hairy head came over and rested on his arm.

For the hairy-headed master, no matter how difficult the process of holding the joint exercise was, after actually finding Qi Fei, it was no longer difficult in retrospect—he used "at that time".

The fact that the two worms can express intimacy through body language so naturally is still some time away from the current time point.

Right now, everything is only progressing to the end of this joint exercise, which is considered to be of no significance.

The reality is indeed as the Zergs who held negative opinions originally thought. This joint exercise cannot bring any practical significance to the development of the Zerg army. It is just a different place for the soldiers to practice repeatedly in the new environment. their daily training menu.

But it does not have any significance for the construction and development of the army, but it does not mean that it is useless elsewhere.

This joint exercise allowed the Zerg to accidentally retrieve a male worm and discover an S-class bloodline left by the Aozuo family.

The existence of Qi Fei is the value of this joint exercise, and he makes it very meaningful.

The special ship of the Zuo family stopped in a space station near Gondo, because Qi Fei decided to return to Gondo together.

Qi Fei did not attend the training closing ceremony, nor did he return to the dormitory. He stayed on the ship for two days when he returned to Gondo, and only met with two groups of people.

The first group was Ding Gui who had been worried about Qi Fei's situation before.

Chief Trainer Ding looked at Qi Fei for a long time with a complicated expression. He never expected that the cabbage he was worried about being eaten by moths turned out to be a moth cabbage. He said the unspoken "take care".

The other class is all members of the mission team.

Before Qi Fei left Gondo for the first time, he only had a quick meeting with Size. This time he returned to Gondo, and finally said goodbye to all the team members.

After the not-too-long closing ceremony, all the Zerg fighters boarded the ship they came from and evacuated Gondo.

After the military ship arrived at the intermediate station, it merged with the special ship of the Zuo family. The two ships stretched out their link bridges, established a link, and entered the accompanying mode.

There is an episode worth mentioning that on the day when the soldiers returned to the ship, Qi Fei found that two soldiers actually carried a bed onto the ship. It was the same single bed that Fei had slept in the previous weeks.

Qi Fei watched this act of taking away public property without permission for a moment, very puzzled.

The establishment of the link bridge allows the crew on the two ships to "cross-ship" freely. Zuo En and Yanjun have prepared rest cabins for Qi Fei on the ship, and Qi Fei can stay on either side of the ship.

Qi Fei downloaded the distribution map of the cabins on the first day of boarding the ship, and clarified which places are forbidden areas, and which places are not clearly marked as forbidden, but it is best to avoid them in daily life. After sorting out the area division map, he thought After learning how to count, I take Qiqiu to activities in areas where I can freely enter and exit every day.

Although Qi Qiu's four legs are short, he can run and jump unambiguously. It's just that his physical strength is limited, and he will often be exhausted after having fun for a while, lying on the ground like a dead body, just waiting for Qi Fei to take his "corpse" "pick it up.

Qi Fei can't keep an eye on Qiqiu all the time, he has a lot of information to fill up before he officially arrives at Zombie Planet.There is a semi-circular small open space near the rest room of the military ship, and the only passage it points to is the corridor connected to it. After Qi Fei found this place, he often brought Qi Qiu over here, so that Qi Qiu would not be in this area. He had fun in the place where there were obstacles, while he leaned against the wall at the entrance and exit of the corridor, and opened the terminal to browse the information.

When he took Qiqiu to this small open space for activities for the third time, Qi Fei found a thin figure at the corner of this corridor with few traces of insects.

It looked like a young man, with insect patterns on the arms exposed from the sleeves, and the clothes were simple, standing in the shadow at the corner of the corridor, looking around timidly.

There was no malice in the eyes of the other party, only curiosity, and a little hesitation that wanted to get close but didn't dare.

Qi Fei thought for a while, and took Qi Qiu a few steps towards the young man. He was about to ask the other party if he would touch Qi Qiu, but when the young man noticed his approach, his whole body tensed up, and he glanced at him vigilantly. Then turned around and ran away quickly.

Qi Fei: "..."

It is not uncommon for Qi Fei to scare a child away with a single face. It is just that the little guy who will be intimidated by him is many years old and young, and he directly scares away a child like today. Leaving aside the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Qi Fei reflected on his expression when he walked towards the other party just now, wondering if he looked too fierce just now.

"That kid's name is Bei Yu." Yan came from the other end of the corridor, just passing by the running boy. He continued to run away as if chasing.

Qi Monster withdrew his gaze from the boy's back, and he looked at Xiang Yan uncertainly: "My expression looks fierce now?"

"Of course not." There was a little more smile in Yan's tone, but he quickly fell silent and sighed softly, "It's just that his situation is a little special."

Qi Fei: "Special?"

Yan nodded, but before he could answer, there were hurried footsteps from the other end of the corridor. Ao Ning hurriedly turned around from the corner, his expression mixed with embarrassment and resentment, after seeing Qi Fei beside Yan I was taken aback.

As if changing his face, Qi Fei looked at Ao Ning and forcibly changed his eager face to bright, but when the other party spoke, his voice still let out a bit of anger: "Report!"

The report was blunt, as if the two words were empowered by emotions, and they hit the air with a "boom".

Yan didn't know what to read from Ao Ning's expression, and his expression became serious.

Knowing that the two worms should be inconvenient to let him know what to talk about, Qi Fei greeted Qi Qiu and was going to take the little guy for a walk elsewhere, leaving room for Yan and Ao Ning to talk.

"No need." Yan noticed his actions and immediately stopped him, "Let's just go to the small meeting room in front."

Qi Fei then stopped his pace, nodded slightly, and said that he walked away quickly with Ao Ning after apologetically saying sorry to him.

The high-quality military boots stepped on the alloy deck of the ship, and it was obvious that there were two worms leaving, but the sound of their steps as they marched was naturally integrated, and the rhythm was consistent like drums played at the same time.

Qi Fei had an intuition that something should have happened, but no one was going to tell him right now. He frowned slightly after watching Yan and Ao Ning disappear into the corner of the corridor, his thoughts turned around, and he fell back to Come to the boy just now.

The Qi monster leaned against the wall, put Qi Qiu back on the ground without knowing anything, and fell into his own thoughts in the fun of Qi Qiu. On the other side, Yan and Aoning, who were walking extremely fast, had already entered the small meeting room.

Yan looked at Ao Ning after the electronic door of the meeting room was closed: "Speak."

The appearance of willows and flowers covering his face faded away when he turned his back on Qifei, and Ao Ning frowned: "We just received another application from another ship of our family, and they will also be in the space ahead. Stop at the station, hoping to go back to the star together with our ship."

It's just an ordinary peer application, so of course it won't embarrass him or make him angry.

Under the officer's calm gaze, Oning paused: "It's the Ke family's ship, and the two Ke family members you least want to see are on it."

There was a slight ripple in that calm, and Yan asked, "Is there any more?"

Ao Ning: "...and one of them got the news early, the goal is very clear, it is for the newly recovered male, he has already put a message in the communication, saying that he hopes you can be more self-respecting and don't see the new male worm. The retrieved male worm knows nothing about the affairs in the planet, so he took the opportunity to deceive the other party. If he finds out that you have maliciously cheated after boarding the ship, he will definitely expose you mercilessly and never let you succeed, and if you Rejecting this fellowship application and refusing his boarding, you must have committed a deceitful act, and you refused out of a guilty conscience—who does he think he is? He this...!"

At this point, the report was considered complete. Ao Ning couldn't hold back, and brought his own emotions into it. He could barely hold back the swear words.

The small conference room with only two worms was quiet for a while, Yan looked serious, his eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Heh."
