Forced to live as "worms"

The public cameras, which are regularly maintained and overhauled every cycle month, have experienced abnormal rotation many times in half a year and have not been repaired for a long time. The meaning behind this is self-evident.

The house security protection system can identify suspicious life forms and suspicious vehicles wandering around the house, but it will not react to the public camera that has been placed on the street in front of the house since the house was established. It is also extremely fast, as if something went wrong in the originally smooth and stable program, causing it to rotate in reverse for a short moment, and then return to normal after a few seconds.

Lai Yan readily admitted that he had intruded on the public camera in front of He Jing's house. He couldn't tell the truth or the fake apology in the communication, "Sorry, I just want to confirm something further."

Without sensing the next step, the light screen automatically enters the energy-saving mode. The screen that was originally on turned darker. He Jing saw his own reflection on the screen that was a few degrees darker. He bent the corners of his lips, and he in the reflection A cold smile appeared, "Confirm?"

Of course He Jing knew what Lai Yan was confirming. The other party just wanted to confirm whether he still met the standard in the other party's mind.

Lai Yan was silent for a while for this cold and alienated rhetorical question, and he repeated "sorry".

This second sorry sounded much more sincere than the first, but it only sounded like it.

He Jing only established an audio communication link with Lai Yan, but did not start a video call. He had no way of knowing what kind of expression Lai Yan was on the other end of the communication at the moment. He only knew that although Lai Yan was saying "sorry", But the other party will still continue what they are doing until the day when the other party's inexplicable purpose is realized.

"You sent this communication specifically to inform me of the result of this confirmation?"

"……Do not."

As if it was the first time he realized that He Jing would also speak in such a way with a gun and a stick, Lai Yan restrained his tone, "I have already said that I want to provide you with some help, you need a higher position to protect what you want to preserve."

Lai Yan resumed his "enthusiastic senior" attitude, and sincerely said that he would help He Jing to go to a higher place.

Touching the light screen in front of him that was about to enter standby, the screen turned on again, He Jing stared at the dazzling 118, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accept this 'help'."

"Of course you can." He quickly vetoed He Jing's words, but Lai Yan didn't continue to entangle on this topic, he directly asked He Jing how he thought about that document.

Now that the end of the school year is approaching, and the comprehensive assessment at the end of the year is just around the corner, the deadline for the submission of the invitation document for the intermediate-level practical training that has been left in He Jing's room is approaching.

Going around in circles, that document is the ultimate goal of Lai Yan's communication today.

Although Lai Yan behaved as usual, his tone was confident and determined since the communication was connected, even if he restrained himself after feeling the displeasure conveyed by He Jingming, he still performed with ease.But He Jing noticed that the sense of anxiety hidden under Lai Yan's calm appearance was clearer than the last face-to-face communication between the two sides.

The previous anger blinded He Jing's senses for a while, and after he calmed down from that negative emotion, he realized that Lai Yan was not as calm as the other party wanted to show.

"What are you anxious about?" He Jing asked suddenly.

Lai Yan was obviously caught off guard by He Jing's question, his originally fluent and natural persuasion suddenly stopped, and after a while, he left a sentence that he hoped He Jing would think about it, he waited for the good news from He Jing, and hung up the communication.

The communication was hung up too hastily, and the turning point was extremely abrupt. He Jing stared at the word "interrupted" displayed on the screen of his communication terminal, and lowered his eyelids slightly.

He has been completely sure that Lai Yan is indeed anxious about something, if he can find the source of Lai Yan's anxiety, he may not be so passive when facing the opponent.

...And what is the source of that anxiety?

He Jing was lost in thought.

"drop."

The notification tone for new messages received in the inbox.

He Jing was interrupted by the sound of "beep". He opened the mail box and found another "Tip" from Lailei.

This second message seems to have taken Larry a long time to think about whether to send it. Its content is closely related to the previous one, but four full cycles have passed since the last "message" was sent.

[My brother seems a little strange, be careful. ]

-

"I think, although I don't know what that guy is thinking, it's not a bad thing to agree to that invitation document."

He Jing glanced at Yue Chen in surprise, he thought Yue Chen would resolutely oppose participating in the training after knowing that the document was specially applied for by Lai Yan.

Received the questioning look from the lover in his heart, Yue Chen took out a document like a magic trick, and then held it in front of He Jing like offering a treasure, "Look!"

He Jing took the data board, glanced at it briefly, and immediately understood why Yuechen expected him to accept the invitation.

The construction of the space bridge has perfectly completed the indoor simulation, and the next step is to enter the stage of extraterrestrial trial operation. Regarding the selection of the extraterrestrial trial operation base, the Academy of Sciences has carried out a long-term screening of test sites, but it is still too late to find a test site for everyone. The answers to all the worms are satisfactory.

The data board that Yue Chen gave He Jing was an analysis statement for the selection and analysis of the trial operation site drawn up by Yue Chen himself.

As the first extraterrestrial test run, the test site must not be too far away from the star, so as not to exceed the scope of the existing space bridge construction, and in order to more clearly determine the immediacy and effectiveness that the technology can currently achieve, a group of volunteers are needed. Volunteers participating in the teleportation experiment, all members of the project in the research base are willing to act as volunteers, but most of the researchers lack combat power. It will cause a devastating blow to this batch of precious scientific and technological bugs, so this star experiment still needs the help of the military.

"This statement has passed the preliminary review by the Academy of Sciences, and it will be sent to the high-level military department tomorrow." Yue Chen explained to He Jing who was browsing the document.

He Jing's eyes fell on the "best expected test site" at the bottom of the file.

Among the three ideal test sites listed by Yuechen, the first one is the base for this intermediate combat training.

The difficulty of intermediate combat training is moderate, and all trainees will have the official army of the military to ensure the safety of the training. It is a "mild" training that encourages professional trainees to practice the skills they have learned under the situation of safety, and has been set. The training planet happens to be not far from Wormstar.

He Jing looked at Yuechen, and Yuechen looked back innocently, as if saying, look, I never had my own selfishness in choosing the test site, it is clear that this base is too suitable for our test site requirements.

But soon, this innocence disappeared in Yue Chen's next sentence.

Yue Chen happily said, "The whole regiment and the Wuxiang will go together, I'm not afraid of what he wants to do then, hahaha!"

He Jing, "..."

After leaving He Jing's house through the main entrance for the sixth cycle, Yue Chen followed the old path and slipped back to He Jing's room in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Yue Chen seemed to have foreseen the situation where he would confront Lai Yan tit-for-tat and win a complete victory, He Jing silently patted his little star.

Yue Chen quickly restrained his smile, "I just think about it first."

He Jing signaled Yue Chen to stop smiling, not because he thought there was anything wrong with Yue Chen's behavior, but he just heard some voice from outside.

Yue Chen listened carefully under He Jing's prompt, only to realize that there was really a subtle "dong dong" sound coming from the door.

The voice was so delicate that when He Jing first heard it, he thought it was just his own illusion. After careful screening for a while, he was sure that the voice really existed.I turned on the electronic display connected to the external camera, but the display was blank, and the corridor outside was empty, with no trace of insects visible.

But the faint pounding sound continued.

"I'll go and have a look." He Jing said and got up and got out of bed, and decided to check for himself the unknown sound, and the door of the opened room was just as shown on the electronic screen, and it was also empty.

strangeness.

The weak "dong dong" sound disappeared with the opening of the door, and when He Jing closed the door again, it did not sound again.

Just wondering if he and Yuechen heard it wrong at the same time, the sound actually came from farther outside, He Jing turned around with doubts, but saw Yuechen who was sitting cross-legged on the big bed far away and pointed at his feet.

He Jing lowered his head and saw a round insect egg at his feet.

Chongdan lay very quietly and well-behaved, as if it had existed on this carpet just now, but the male insects passing by it had never seen it.

He Jing picked up the bug egg that escaped from the incubator, and looked at Yuechen. He was sure that he didn't hear any bug eggs rolling just now.

Yue Chen's eyes fell directly on the egg, and his expression was a bit indescribable.

"You might not believe it if you tell me." Yuechen gestured the distance from the door to the current location of Chongdan, "It jumped in just now, a perfect parabola."

The incubator where the worm eggs were supposed to stay was in Mu Nan's room.

The room where Mu Nan lives is two floors away from the main house where He Jing is sleeping now. The nutrient solution on the insect egg body has already been wiped clean during the "long journey", and only the eggshell wall remains. A few traces of the nutrient solution drying up.

According to Yue Chen's description, the bug egg was sticking to the crack of the outer door when Hejing opened the door, and it jumped up when the magnetic control door was just opened to the width that allowed it to pass through, and landed firmly on the current carpet On the ground, the thick long-haired carpet absorbed the sound of the insect eggs landing, and its take-off and landing overlapped with the sound of the magnetic control door opening and closing, so He Jing didn't notice that an egg slipped past his feet at all. .

He was very interested in this insect egg that escaped from prison late at night, and Yue Chen also got off the big bed. He touched the egg held in He Jing's arms with great interest, "The cubs of the Zerg race live like this when they are eggs... "

Chongdan was shocked before Yuechen's fingers touched it, it bounced from He Jing's arms, and performed what is called "perfect parabola" on the spot for He Jing who hadn't seen its performance just now.

Yue Chen, "...well."

Staring at the insect egg that avoided his fingers and jumped onto the big bed for a while, Yue Chen turned his head to look at He Jing quietly, "Do these two little guys despise me?"
