wandering planet

Two weeks later, Jiang Che and Ovid, who had completed the initial training of the Crisis Office, arrived in Venezuela.

This land was seriously affected in the "big impact". Not only did the regime collapse and disappear, but it also became the target of competition for several neighboring countries.

But about 100 years ago, the sudden outbreak of zombie virus in Venezuela made this area a dead place again.

"Venezuela virus" has even become an exclusive name for a super zombie virus.After a long period of research and continuous in vivo experiments, the vaccine for the "Venezuela virus" was finally successfully developed, and then the Crisis Office began to dispatch teams into the Venezuelan area to exterminate the zombies.

"Your destination is Black Harbor in the east." The staff of the South American Crisis Office who received them said, "That place needs to be passed by boat, and we will leave on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. This is all the members of the Black Harbor Affairs Team You can familiarize yourself with the list and photos first."

In the pamphlet he handed over, there were brief introductions of more than 50 members of the Crisis Office.

The first one is Alva, the leader of Port Black Affairs Group.He is a werewolf.

The second is Kun, the deputy team leader, who is Quan Nu.

"Among all the members of our South American Crisis Office, there are only three werewolves in total, and two of them are zombie hunters." He pointed to Alva's photo and said, "Alva is the best."

But neither Jiang Che nor Ovid paid attention to the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

They were staring at Kun's picture.

The young man in the photo really had blond hair and a pair of blue-green eyes.His hair seems to be filled with enough moisture, giving off a very soft luster, his eyes are calm and even a little cold, his thin lips are tightly pressed, his nose bridge is straight and beautiful, and the lines of his face are almost perfect.

The staff member who was going to continue to introduce the two sighed secretly.

Everyone who saw Quan Nu's photo seemed to have the same reaction.

"Yes, he is one of the two spring slaves of the South American Crisis Office." He turned two pages, pointed to another photo, and said, "In fact, the two spring slaves of our branch are now in Bulle I work for the Port of Clark Affairs Group. This is Xiu."

Ovid was almost dumbfounded.

He felt that Kun and Xiu, the two spring slaves, looked alike, not in facial features or outlines, but in their incomprehensible and intangible aura.

"Are they brothers?" Ovid asked. "Isn't it so beautiful... Can people be so beautiful?"

The introducer blinked, seemingly unable to understand his question for a while.

"Quan Nu has no brothers, and their reproductive method determines that they cannot have any relatives related by blood." He said with a smile, "Kun and Xiu are both really good-looking, but they are not human either."

"Aren't special humans human?" Ovid was a little confused.

Probably seeing that the curly-haired young man in front of him still had a lot of misunderstandings about the existence of special humans, the introducer smiled: "The word 'special' was added to distinguish it from real people. Quan Nu It is a creature bred by spring water, and it is completely different from human beings."

Jiang Che didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"Both spring slaves are in Port Black's affairs team?" He asked, "Why do you have to arrange it this way? You clearly only have two spring slaves in your branch."

"Because Black Harbor is the most critical area of ​​our work. They need Quan Nu's strength very much."

It takes about two hours to travel from the port until you arrive at Black Harbor.

In fact, the journey itself is not very far, but along the way, there are strange rocks and broken ships under the water surface, making navigation very difficult.

In addition, Jiang Che and Ovid sailed there by themselves, and they were terrified all the way. Two hours later, they finally saw the sign of Black Port Wharf from a distance.

"Did he tell you what the purpose of going to the springs is?" asked Ovid.

Yesterday, he was obsessed with studying the roster of the affairs team and the photos of everyone, and did not listen carefully to what the introducer had to say.

"It's really important." Jiang Che said, "Quan slaves can find clean water sources, and each of them is a very powerful therapist."

Puerto Brock is the worst zombie riot in Venezuela.Because it is close to the sea, fresh water resources are very scarce, and many fresh water storage points around it have been polluted by zombies. If you want to work in this place for a long time, clean water is extremely important.

At the same time, there is also the most difficult and largest zombie organization in Venezuela in Port Blake, and countless crisis personnel who have died in their hands can be said to be countless in the past few years.Kun and Xiu, the two spring slaves, were found by the South American branch with great effort. Both of them are experienced and very famous therapists.

While speaking, the ship was already approaching the pier.

They were greeted by a tall, pale woman standing on the pier.

Both Jiang Che and Ovid remembered that this woman named Jin Yuan was marked as an "ancient blood-sucking race" on the roster.

This means that she is stronger and more difficult than the average blood-sucking race.

Jin Yuan carefully looked into their eyes and sniffed their scents to confirm the identities of Jiang Che and Ovid.She glanced at the identity certificates Jiang Che and Ovid handed over and returned them.

"Come with me," she said.

This descendant of an ancient blood-sucking race has a hoarse voice.As she turned away Ovid saw a scratch on the back of her shoulder.The scratches were a bit deep, but there was no blood oozing out, only the skin rolled up and even began to turn white.

"You are already injured." Ovid couldn't help but said, "Why did you come to meet us?"

"It's because I've been injured." Jin Yuan said darkly, "That's why I'm free."

She took a few steps and pointed to her wound.

"It was caught by zombies."

Ovid took another look, and gradually felt that the wound was more hideous and terrifying.

No matter what Jiang Che and Ovid asked next, Jin Yuan did not answer.She didn't seem to welcome them, and just walked fast ahead.

They left the pier, passed through two low hills and half of the town that had been turned into ruins, and finally arrived at the station of the Black Harbor Affairs Group before evening.

The station is on a mountain, occupying most of the top of the mountain.

Jiang Che and Ovid stayed in the southern continent of South America for a long time, and saw many desolate scenes, but they were still shocked when they passed through the half of the town.There were still rotting stumps and eyeballs on the ground, and an unbearable stench filled the town.Coupled with the fishy smell of the sea breeze and the unbearable heat, there seemed to be countless heavy ghosts hovering over the lifeless town, making it difficult for everyone who tried to pass through it to breathe and be unable to move.

But as soon as he entered the place where the affairs team was located, the stench lingering in his nose disappeared immediately.

Plants with small orange-red flowers are planted all over the mountain. Although there is no strong fragrance, it subtly neutralizes the stench.

Ovid opened his mouth and took two deep breaths. He was about to speak when he looked up and saw a person standing by the side of the road.

This man they had seen on the roster.Kun, the deputy head of Port Blake's affairs group.

Ovid coughed several times as if he was suddenly choked.

The young Quan Nu stood by the side of the road, among the luxuriant orange-red flowers, like a wonderful statue that could never have appeared here and now.

Both Jiang Che and Ovid stared dumbfounded, only Jin Yuan kept her eyes on her, and when she walked past Kun, she scribbled her head and pointed her head, meaning "I've already brought him here".

"She is just a little shy and nervous." Kun explained to Jiang Che and Ovid, "She is a vampire with a long lifespan. Since she came to Port Black, she has not sucked fresh human blood for several years. You It smells good to her."

Ovid: "...I thought she was not good at communicating with people, so she just wanted to suck our blood but was afraid that we would find out?"

Kun slightly turned sideways and invited the two of them into the station.

Before coming to the Black Harbor Affairs Team, Jiang Che had a problem that he hadn't discussed with Ovid.

That's why the Biohazard Forces sent them both over.

Ovid is a fighting talent with excellent physical function and rich theoretical knowledge. Jiang Che thinks it is normal for him to be selected and dispatched to any dangerous place.

But I am just a cook, a cook who knows some fighting skills.When it came to practicality, there was no one in Julian's team better than him.

"Let you come here not just to fight zombies." Kun took them to the building where they were stationed.

The resident was divided into several blocks, and they walked all the way into the office building, and they didn't see many members.Except for Jin Yuan, who climbed up a tree and hid far away, the people who occasionally came across her looked very ordinary and normal.Both Jiang Che and Ovid remembered that these were sentinels or guides, and they were very powerful fighting special humans.

Jiang Che watched Kun unfold a blueprint on the table in silence.

He was standing in the wrong direction, and he didn't see what it was at first.

But the next moment, he couldn't help but threw himself on the table.

"...Our lifeboat!" Ovid yelled, "Jiang! This is the drawing of the lifeboat!"

Jiang Che's heart beat faster.

Their lifeship—Faust's lifeship, the one that carried them through the Sirius belt and was finally blown up on the crab shell planet.

The lifeboat that made Pierre secretly cry twice in the corner of the Phoenix because of his sadness.

"It was a young officer named Pierre from the Marseille Fleet who provided this blueprint to the headquarters of the Crisis Office." Kun didn't know the relationship between the ship and them, so he just continued calmly, "But it seems that you also know?"

More than acquaintance.Ovid was almost speechless.It had also been their companion.

"The Black Port Affairs Group submitted an application to the Crisis Office Headquarters through the South American Branch. We need a small aircraft with high mobility, which can carry cargo and people, and can also carry combat weapons. Black Port In fact, it is very large, and the zombie organization is better at moving than us, so a small aircraft is very necessary for us."

Headquarters has never approached such an application.But when they sent a tentative request to the fleet, Xue Ming, the Australian station chief who returned to the headquarters of the Earth Defense Fleet to report to work, knew about it.

He remembered the stories he had heard from Lin Ni and Tang Mo.That lifeboat seems to be up to the task

"Station Master Xue Ming helped us contact Officer Pierre through his personal relationship." Kun looked down at the drawings, "So soon, we got the drawings drawn by Officer Pierre. It is said that the manufacture of lifeboats The style is actually different from this drawing, and Officer Pierre respected our request and added a lot of things we needed to the ship."

But it was still the small ship that Jiang Che and Ovid were familiar with.

Both of them had vaguely guessed the real reason why they came here.

"The aircraft has been manufactured successfully," Kun said. "The Port Black team needs someone who can fly this craft right away."

When leaving the resident office building, Jiang Che and Ovid met a person who was striding towards the yard.

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes grew a beard, and his long hair was tied up behind his head. The clothes on his body were not very clean, and his exposed arms were strong and muscular.

He is the leader of the affairs team, the werewolf Alva.

Just as he was about to say hello, Alva didn't seem to see the two of them, and directly pointed at Kun who had just walked out of the office building.

"Kun!" Alva's voice was so loud that Jiang Che and Ovid shrank subconsciously, "Don't run! Speak clearly!"

"I didn't run away, Team Leader Alva." Kun came over calmly, shaking his head, "Your voice is too loud, which frightened our guests."

Alva turned his head and glanced at Jiang Che and Ovid, and said "Oh", "Are those two drivers from the south?"

After getting an affirmative answer, he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Che and Ovid's hands and shook hands tightly, and immediately walked towards Kun again.

"You don't have the right to make any request to the branch beyond me!" Alva lowered his voice, but the loud voice was still clearly audible, "Kun, I'm giving you a formal warning. You despise the authority of my team leader It’s not a day or two, if you want to be the team leader, you should make some achievements and don’t make small moves behind your back.”

Jiang Che and Ovid didn't leave or stay, they walked out of the compound silently.

"I am the Inspector of the Black Port Affairs Group. I can report your work results to the branch at any time without your permission, Team Leader Alva." Kun frowned again, as if he couldn't bear it. said in a low voice, "Your voice is really loud, Alva. It's deafening my ears."

When Alva spoke again, his voice dropped again.

"You covet my position, I know. Kun, but when is it now, what is the situation in Port Black now, you and I know. There is no time left for us to fight, if they can't transfer away from Black If Hong Kong is wiped out before, the entire Venezuelan region will be completely reduced to a paradise for zombies..."

Jiang Che and Ovid walked far away, and gradually they couldn't hear clearly. They only saw two people in the courtyard still arguing.

Ovid looked up and saw Jin Yuan sitting on the big rock in front of her, holding a bag of plasma in her hand, sucking it with difficulty.

It's like taking a terrible dose of medicine that tastes terrible.

Realizing that Ovid and Jiang Che were walking towards her, Jin Yuan seemed to be frightened, and quickly rolled off the stone and ran away.

Ovid: "..."

He suddenly felt that Jin Yuan was a little cute, although he couldn't tell from her face at all.

"Jin Yuan must really want to suck your blood." He said to Jiang Che, "She ran away."

Jiang Che was a little absent-minded: "Well... Maybe she wants to suck you more, you are so good-looking."

The fiery red sky was still burning fiercely.

This reminded Jiang Che of that evening a year ago, the evening when the Phoenix returned to Earth.

He stopped abruptly and took Ovid's hand.

Ovid: "?"

Jiang Che stared at his lover and remembered an incident half a year ago.

At that time, the two of them were still active on the South American continent, running around in order to hunt down a group of two-meter-long macrophage bees.

Ovid said that these macrophage bees are much more terrifying than the Griya worker bees, and the earth is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

After destroying the giant phage, they found half a crashed small ship near the macrophage's nest.

The small ship was about the size of a lifeboat, and half of it had been eaten away, leaving only half of the cockpit.

Julian and the others were experienced hunters of mutant creatures. They were not surprised to see such wreckages on the South American continent—but Jiang Che and Ovid were not.

It was the first time they saw the crashed small ship here.

Or, to be more precise, they touched the starship for the first time after leaving the Phoenix.

The starship returning to the earth from the outside will encounter various sudden accidents. The shell of this ship has burn marks, and it obviously crashed after passing through the atmosphere.Because it crashed in this area, it is impossible to enter the recovery, so it has been placed here.

They didn't know how long the small ship had been here, but the two seats in the wheelhouse were completely decayed, and the metal frame was exposed and rusty.

Even so, Ovid went in and touched for a long time.

This is the switch.This is the button for the thermostat.He was extremely excited, and his groping movements were cautious and joyful: "Jiang, this ship originally had weapons! Look at this sign, it's the sign of the weapon switch, exactly the same as the one on the Phoenix..."

The operating systems of Marseille's ships and the starships they saw are similar.Ovid felt as if he was familiar with everything, and everything seemed familiar. After leaving, he even said to Jiang Che, "Now if there is such a ship in front of me, I can immediately let it go into the air."

At that moment, Jiang Che saw a very different joy in Ovid's eyes.

"Ovid." Jiang Che held Ovid's hand and let himself approach him, "Do you like the flying machine that Kun just showed us?"

"I like it," said Ovid without hesitation. "Linney taught me how to pilot a lifeboat."

"Do you want to drive?" he asked again.

Ovid stared at him for a while, then replied with a smile, "I want to."

When Jiang Che was about to speak again, Ovid immediately added another sentence: "I also want to continue exploring the earth with you."

Jiang Che closed his eyes.Ovid knew what he was going to say—they knew each other so well, knew each other so well.

"Which one do you prefer, driving a ship or exploring the earth?" he asked, "Don't think about me, which one do you prefer?"

"I like the one I can share with you."

Jiang Che thought wrong, he still didn't understand what he meant.

Ovid liked ships, and he also liked the universe.When Jiang Che thought of the joy he saw in Ovid's eyes at that time, he felt an involuntary fear: he was afraid that he would control Ovid.

Even like he had let Jiang Mu choose to board the "Great Evacuation" ship, this might frighten him.

He does not want to be Ovid's master, and Ovid is not his slave.Ovid can choose any way of life as long as he wants to.

The flaming red sky gradually faded from its gorgeous color, and heavy darkness overflowed from the western sky.

Jiang Che's hands were a little cold, and Ovid held them tightly with his backhand.

"Jiang, you told me that I am free." Ovid pressed Jiang Che's forehead and said softly, "As you said, I am free, and I will always be."

"Yes, you have freedom. Here, you can choose whatever you like, and don't be forced by anyone, including me..."

"You didn't force me!" Ovid rubbed the tip of Jiang Che's nose, and replied gently, "Everything I do is out of my free will. I like the universe and the earth, but I love you more."

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was not used to expressing his heart directly.

"I love you, Jiang. I am willing to share all my life with you, from now until I die." His voice was soft and gentle, "Among the universe, the earth and you, I want to choose you."

Jiang Che couldn't help kissing the corner of his lips, sobbing in his throat: "Ovid..."

"We can still drive the ship." Ovid hugged him, as if comforting his friends or relatives, "Jiang, Pierre revived the lifeboat, and it returned to us."

"But this is on Earth, and this ship is..."

"I will leave the earth in the future." Ovid said happily, "I have no regrets, nor am I afraid. Jiang, being with you makes me feel that I can do everything well, all good things... as long as I want, They all seem to happen.”

Jiang Che gave up speaking.He hugged Ovid tightly, kissed him, touched him.Something stronger and more exciting than lust invaded his heart, making his heart beat so fast, his blood flow so fast, his ears buzzing, and the depths of his nasal cavity felt faintly sore.

He must let Ovid reach a wider place.They want to go back to the stars, even if only once.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Che and Ovid got up very early due to their unfamiliarity.

The two were running in the station, and after running two laps, they found that they were lost, so they simply walked to the top of the mountain.There is only one watchtower and launch tower on the top of the mountain, with a good view, and you can see the sea in the distance.

Ovid watched for a while, then suddenly reached out and tugged at Jiang Che's sleeve.

Jiang Che was photographing the orange-red flowers that can be seen everywhere in the resident, and was almost dragged down by Ovid.

"Look at what?"

"Captain Werewolf and Kun are fighting," said Ovid.

He squatted in a corner of the watchtower, watching intently.Jiang Che leaned over and found that the angle was wrong. He could only glimpse a small building not far from the foot of the mountain from Ovid, and vaguely saw someone moving, but he couldn't see who it was.

"Are you sure it's Kun?" Jiang Che thought of another Quan Nu whom he hadn't met yet, "Maybe it's Xiu?"

"It's definitely Kun, don't you think Kun is prettier than Xiu?"

"...No, Xiu seems to look better, right?"

Ovid: "Kun's nose looks better, I like his shape..."

He stopped talking suddenly, and opened his eyes in bewilderment.

Jiang Che: "What's wrong?"

Ovid: "They kissed."

Jiang Che: "...Oh. That's it."

Ovid: "I still touched it! Wow... The team leader is indeed a werewolf, he tore Kun's clothes... um..."

Jiang Che couldn't see anything, so he quickly pushed Ovid: "What?"

Ovid smiled badly: "The team leader was punched twice, and Kun left."

The two looked at each other, both thinking of the other two.

"Pierre brought the lifeboat back to life. Does Linney know about it?" Ovid said. "He must be very happy if he knows."

Jiang Che stroked his chin: "He should know, right? Aren't he and Pierre both in the fleet? You can often see them."

Ovid also imitated him and rubbed his chin: "Then will he and Song Junxing still fight? I haven't watched it for a long time, and I miss it a bit."

At this very moment, on the Marseille planet 42.73 light-years away from Earth, the young General Lee Swright is angry.

"Drinking [-] mosaics in a month?!" Lin Ni was holding the bill, his hands were shaking, "I can't make so much money in a month! What did he drink!"

The AI ​​butler was about to speak, but Lin Ni raised his hand and interrupted.

"No, stop talking, I don't want to hear." He handed the bill to the housekeeper, "No, the question is, why did you send me the bill Song Junxing owed for drinking?"

"General, he signed your name." The steward said, "He imitated your handwriting very closely."

Linney gritted his teeth: "Find him out."

Steward: "I don't have the authority to dispatch the guards of General Leeswright's mansion to deal with non-domestic affairs."

Lin Ni: "I'll give you this authority now. Doesn't he have a bunch of old friends? Go find them, they must know where Song Junxing is. Let him pay back the money immediately! Don't learn from Tang Mo!"

The AI ​​steward was silent for a moment, and then replied again: "Sorry, General. I can't find any data related to Mr. Song's old friend in my database."

Lin Ni was stunned for a while, only to realize that he couldn't think of it either.

Although Song Junxing always talks about his old friends, Lin Ni has never met any of them, and he has never heard Song Junxing mention their names.

He thought for a long time, and finally remembered one thing: "The one he likes, is Mr. Malt going to hold a new book signing tomorrow? Where is it?"
