Not cold [Interstellar]

Zhong Yue said: "I'm going to talk to the commanders of the other two legions in the next few days. If everything goes well, I'll go to the military headquarters. It's just that I won't be able to take my son with me in these few days."

Ke Wei didn't know that Zhong Yue had been preparing for such a long time, and it happened that the Holy See was in great chaos, which was rare in hundreds of years. During this period of time, the Holy See must have no time to take care of Zhong Yue who is constantly making big and small moves here.

Now is the most suitable time for Zhong Yue to gain the command and become the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

But Ke Wei has no time to take care of Zhong Han.

Because for many days in a row, the Pope refused to receive anyone who came to visit on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

To everyone's surprise, the fat bishop, who has been mediocre in political affairs for many years, has been appointed as the spokesperson by the Pope, surpassing the mysterious Bishop Tans, and the new bishop Christine who has been gaining momentum recently.

The confusing staff transfer and appointment of the Holy See, and the internal purge of the Holy See when the Pope's life and death were uncertain, also made people confused about the trend of the Holy See for a while.

Ke Wei, who was on his way back to Capital Star, felt his heart sink when he heard the news.

He still cared about the Pope's condition. Although he knew that the Pope's body was getting weaker and weaker, it was only a matter of time before he reached the final step, but he still felt that the real day came too soon.

Ke Wei looked at Rouhuhu's son, feeling very reluctant: "We can't be by your side, what about my son?"

Zhong Yue has clearly thought of a countermeasure and is very experienced in this situation: "Do you still remember Matthew's wife? The lady of Verney's family has a little daughter who takes care of the child at home every day. We can ask her to help take care of."

Ke Wei immediately had an impression: "The one who makes money for you?"

"Yes, in the previous timeline, sometimes when I was too busy to take care of our son myself, I would entrust Zhong Han to the Matthews. After all, I am my own, so I can rest assured."

With their son's settlement settled, they revisited the current situation.

Capital Star is already ready to rain.

People with some political sense can see that a storm is quietly approaching.

During this time when the Pope did not show up, Ke Wei's most powerful supporter, fellow bishop Christine, also left the Holy See for some reason. As a result, there was no eyeliner in the Holy See for a while, unable to know the direction of the wind in the Holy See at this time.

Although Christine returned to the Holy See one step ahead of Ke Wei, it was only a few days earlier.

The fat bishop united with another bishop to exclude Christine, and he was already on the verge of seizing power.

She urgently needs the return of Bishop Tans to regain control of the Holy See together with Ke Wei.

Christine was surrounded by elites sent by Zhong Yue to protect him. In order to prevent being inexplicably replaced, they were all planned and organized gang operations, and the shapeshifters were not given the slightest chance.

Even so, Christine's vigilance is still a little bit less: "This fat bishop is also a shape-shifter, and I saw it change into a Mansa with my own eyes. The fat bishop must have died a long time ago, or he has been around since the beginning." It has been infiltrated, I really don’t know how many monsters like this exist in the Holy See.”

The monster that turned into a mansha is still in Abino's laboratory.

Zhong Yue connected to the special line of Abino, and the experimenter reported: "There is a chip at the eighth vertebra of the shapeshifter. Only part of these shapeshifters are human, and their computing core is mechanical, covered by human skin." The DNA extracted from the outer hair and skin cells is completely consistent with Mansha's biological information. We are deciphering the chip, and according to some results of deciphering, the chip has recorded the biological information of more than one person."

Kristen had just lost all her old friends from an alternate timeline, and had become very emaciated in a short amount of time.All those who knew the inside story looked at her and couldn't bear it, but they couldn't comfort them, they could only wait for her to get over it.

Christine said: "Ke Wei, the Pope is probably dead, you'd better come back now."

Before Ke Wei said anything, Zhong Yue at the side held his hand first.

"Kristen, you are watching over there now. If something happens, I will go to meet you immediately." Zhong Yue was clear about major matters, and did not hesitate to let Ke Wei leave: "After you go to the Holy See, The most important thing is to be safe."

Xuan Mian cut in: "Boss, Ke Wei, are you busy?"

Zhong Yue ordered the spaceship to head towards the capital star, and then said: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Ke Wei's situation is very special." Xuan Mian held a stack of documents: "My mother and I talked on the phone and brought back the medical examination report she made for you before. Your body is compared with the previous examination. , is always changing.”

"So, I have two suggestions. One, Ke Wei, you should draw your own blood in small amounts and many times at ordinary times, in case of emergencies, because you can only accept your own blood transfusion in the future. The second is ..."

Xuan Mian frowned, looking very serious: "My mother suggested that if you still want children, it is best to extract Ke Wei's stem cells now. Ke Wei is an adult, and the changes in his body are gradually stabilizing. It was not found that the mutation had other effects on his body. However, if his blood cells continue to mutate, it may affect the survival rate of your two future children in the embryonic stage."

Zhong Yue immediately said, "I have no objection."

Ke Wei looked at him helplessly.

Zhong Yue has reason and evidence: "You also heard from Xuan Mian, make it first and then talk about it, even if we don't have time to raise a second child now, it's all for the future."

Xuan Mian looked at Zhong Yue and Ke Wei who didn't know anything, and thought of Zhong Lan whose life and death were uncertain, and felt very sour in his heart.

He almost had the urge to tell everything, but when he thought that he had agreed to Lan's promise, he went back patiently.

Xuan Mian endured and endured, and finally pressed the urge to tell them the truth back into his stomach.He said to Zhong Yue: "Boss, my mother is an expert in this field. Next, I will invite her to connect with you. I want to ask you for instructions. From today onwards, I want to concentrate on research projects related to Zerg."

Zhong Yue glanced at Xuan Mian, without any objection: "If you want to do it, do it first. It's just that your mother told you about the use of those metal fragments?"

Xuan Mian replied: "She said that a long time ago, when my father communicated with the Pope, she hid and heard the conversation. The Pope didn't give a precise answer, but my father guessed based on the Pope's meaning that these fragments are keys."

"key?"

"The key to another world. The Pope should have mentioned it, and it is related to the Creator God."

What is the God of Creation?

Zhong Yue has been an atheist from the beginning to the end. If it is said that there are superhuman beings, the only thing he can believe in is alien civilization.

In today's highly developed science and technology, the God mentioned in the scriptures of Creationism, even the faithful believers of Creationism, may not necessarily believe in his existence.

More people just regard the "God of Creation" as a kind of spiritual sustenance, and pay more attention to the practical part of the teachings-self-cultivation and moral restraint.

But Ke Wei thought of the note that Jin Ran left for him—Jin Ran said that the God of Creation really existed.

When Ke Wei took off his military uniform, put on the bishop's gown that had been put aside for a long time, put on a serious and indifferent expression, and stepped into the Central Holy See again, he was still silently thinking about the meaning of Jin Ran's message.

Christine came out to greet Ke Wei in person: "You came just in time, we went directly to find the Pope, and killed the fat bishop by surprise. The two bishops jointly asked to see the Pope, and he had no reason to stop us."

The Pope was seriously ill in his living area and did not see any visitors. Ke Wei led the elite sent by Zhong Yue from the army, holding the special pass issued by the bishops, and marched all the way to the front of the building.

Ke Weitong did not pass on the biography. He lived here when he was a child. He scanned his pupils and found that the Pope had not revoked his authority, so he directly opened the door of the Pope's building.

The living area of ​​the Pope, no one is there.

No guards in catechism, no men of fat bishops.

The curtains on all four sides were drawn, and the room was blocked from sunlight. The dark and cold space made the people who entered feel more uneasy.

The sergeant who escorted them was on full alert and pushed open the door of the pope's bedroom.

They finally met their first living person.

The fat bishop turned around with a smile, and when he saw their appearance, he was not surprised, as if he had been standing here, waiting for them for a long time and greeted him: "You are finally here."

At that moment, Ke Wei felt that the exposed skin was bitingly cold.He shivered, and finally understood what was wrong.

When the door was pushed open, the sergeants under Zhong Yue behind him should immediately enter the room, search for the hidden ambush in the room, surround the fat bishop, and subdue him.

However, these soldiers with qualified professionalism did not respond in any way in this situation.

Ke Wei looked back abruptly.

Everyone who came in with him was pressed to pause.Their feet stopped in the air, their chests did not heave, their eyelids did not blink.

Christine's eyes were open, and the long golden hair brought up by the trot was flying in the air, unable to fall for a long time, as if frozen in the air, motionless.

Ke Wei's first reaction was to test their breathing.

"They didn't die, I just created a narrow space to suspend their time." The fat bishop said leisurely: "After all, I can't replace you in front of them."

The old-fashioned hanging pin in the pope's bedroom, the pointer stopped at a number as if it was broken, and did not move.

Ke didn't turn around and ran out.

But it was too late.

A shapeshifter without facial features appeared out of thin air behind Ke Wei.

Ke Wei felt the sharp pain at the back of his neck. He wanted to escape, but found that every muscle in his body was so stiff that he couldn't control it.

A few steps away, the fat bishop teleported in front of Ke Wei: "Your death year changed from 6062 to 6002, but you lived safely until 6003...Why didn't our database report an error? Why did you, in such a short period of time, When it comes to something about you, there is a bug again?"

After hearing his words, Ke Wei finally confirmed that this wave of shapeshifters was operated by the Anta civilization.

The document describing his life was something he had seen with his own eyes in the alien space.

He desperately mobilized every muscle in his body, he wanted to get out from here, he wanted to tell Zhong Yue, and everyone, who their enemy was.

The bone pterosaur on the mural of the Hagia Sophia Church appeared before Ke Wei again. The bone pterosaur was no longer static, it hovered in his mind, and Ke Wei felt it go out along the long needle on the back of his neck.

The shapeshifter behind him emitted a plume of white smoke, the alarm sounded three times, and it was completely scrapped.

The fat bishop was surprised: "Are you also a test subject of S reagent?"

Ke Wei felt that his body regained control, and immediately pulled out the long needle inserted into his neck, took out the particle gun hidden in the bishop's robe, and aimed at the fat bishop: "Don't move around."

The fat bishop said to himself: "I really underestimated the Pope. Although he is only a weak human being, his foresight really surprised me... He has fed you the S reagent for many years, and it has turned you into a An immune constitution whose memory cannot be read by external force?"

"How did the pope predict it in advance? Who gave him the S reagent?" The fat bishop muttered to himself, "There is a traitor among us." @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

Every word of the fat bishop contains too much information.Ke Wei memorized it by force while observing the surrounding environment.

How to break this gap and let time return to normal?The Anta civilization possessed too terrifying technology, and he couldn't fight it alone.

Ke Wei needed help, and these elite soldiers brought out from Zhongyue's army turned out to be decorations on this occasion.

The fat bishop said slowly: "It's a pity that the batch of shapeshifters we have come over has exhausted all usable ones. The little girl bishop behind you, we can't use it yet, the bio-information simulator will work with her Zerg There is a conflict in the genes, and it is impossible to simulate a human form normally. And you are immune to memory reading... This situation is more troublesome than the form we envisioned before we came here."

"I'll give you a chance. You tell the whereabouts of the key fragments in the Pope's hand, and I will let you live."

Ke Wei almost smiled: "Do you think it's possible for me to trust you?"

"You know, I don't even need to kill you myself." The fat bishop saw that the matter had come to this point, took out an air spray, and released it automatically in the space.

Light green gas sprayed into the air, and the smell of grass juice instantly filled the entire room.

Ke Wei quickly held his breath, but he didn't have any other oxygen to breathe, so he ran to the window, opened it and panted heavily.

The fat bishop behind him wrote clearly: "A little bit of ragweed extract can turn you into the pope's mortal virtue. Although the S reagent can make you immune to mind control and memory reading, it can't prevent it. Living in such a small plant—the S agent that infiltrates into your bone marrow, after encountering ragweed, becomes extremely poisonous to the bone from then on, there is no cure, and you can only wait for death in misery."

Ke Wei coughed violently by the window.

There was still the bitter smell of grass in the air, and as long as he was breathing, he couldn't completely avoid it.

Stay away from bait ragweed.

In a daze, Ke Wei once again thought of Jin Ran's warning words, and unexpectedly, he had other secrets long ago.

"I have to investigate the reason why your fate was changed again." The fat bishop said calmly: "Our original idea was to follow the normal development direction of the timeline and infiltrate Christine, who is about to become the pope. Only to find out that you and Christine, the two most likely to become the new Pope, are both unavailable."

at the same time.

"Christine sent me a lot of information, General Zhong." Xuan Mian made a remote video report with Zhong Yue in the remote desolate star: "As for how to delay the genetic mutation of the Zerg, the group of them who came back from the future People, a lot of research has actually been done.”

Zhong Yue rubbed his forehead: "Now Christine is the only one left...Although she is the only one who survived, we still have to continue to study countermeasures for her. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, you don't need to apply for research funding, just get it from I'll just go with the account."

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Xuan Mian's appearance has become more and more taciturn. He seems to have matured quickly, and his speech and behavior are no longer childish: "I will do my best."

Zhong Yue asked him: "Although there is a laboratory for you on the warship, it can't compare to the cash equipment in your laboratory in Abino, and there are so many professional scientific researchers working together. This kind of efficiency is not good at all. The same level. So Xuan Mian, when do you plan to return to Abino?"

Xuan Mian insisted: "Can you... let me stay here for a while?"

Zhong Yue was startled, he knew that Xuan Mian was waiting for Lan.

But it has been almost a month, and all of them know that the folding space has been closed, even if Lan is alive, how can he get out of it?

Although he didn't say it clearly on the surface, in private, even he gave up without hope.

No hopeful waiting, no possible rescue.

Zhong Yue knew Xuan Mian's temper and gave up persuading him, but in the end he couldn't bear to force Xuan Mian to return to Abinuo.

Zhong Yue shook his head and sighed, then hung up the communication.

After Xuan Mian and the boss reported, they didn't stop at all, and immediately devoted themselves to the materials at hand.

The project of deciphering genes is huge, and Xuan Mian is not an expert in this field.But in the past month, he has been studying and supplementing like crazy, and he has taught himself at an astonishing speed.

A month later, Xuanmian's mother, a biologist, had nothing to teach her son.

The progress of Abino's laboratory is slow but steady. The Zerg gene information belonging to Mansha has been decrypted step by step. All the latest research materials, even Xuanmian on the other side of the universe, are guaranteed to get first-hand information.

"If... if Lan can still come out, I need to find a way to slow down the speed of the replication of Zerg genes in him." Xuan Mian recognized this truth, and was so busy that he couldn't see the sun.

Rather than saying that Xuan Mian believes that Zhong Lan will come back, it is better to say that he is unwilling to accept the reality that Zhong Lan just left.

Outside the warship, the fire that had been burning for a long time was finally extinguished.

The surface of the planet was burnt into a piece of carbon black. An explosion a month ago killed an unknown number of Zerg here.

I can't see the thrilling stories that happened here before, and those people who left forever.

Xuan Mian, who was devoting himself to work, was interrupted by a siren.

"An abnormal value was detected ahead, and gamma rays were detected."

After hearing the content of the automatic alarm, Xuan Mian stopped for a second.

Xuan Mian suddenly pushed away the chair and rushed into the command room.
