Deep Space Knight

Let's work.Otherwise, why do we pay taxes? "

You can't blame them for being too selfish.He who will give his food without complaint is either a saint or a man who is not hungry.

Every day, Sheng Rui took out more than half of the food he was assigned and put it beside Qi Han.But in a blink of an eye, they came back to him intact.

"Eat it for me!" Sheng Rui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and while Qi Han was resting, he slapped a sandwich bread into his hand, "You can't do this, your body will collapse."

Unexpectedly, Qi Han was even more stubborn than him, and with a flick of his wrist, he stuffed it back to Sheng Rui: "I can last longer than you without eating."

Sheng Rui was so angry.Even if it is true, such straightforward contempt would be too shameful.Can't you say euphemistically, "I think there may be a little gap in our physical fitness that can be ignored"?

After checking the wounded, Anna turned around and gave Sheng Rui a second blow: "Stop arguing with him. I've been a doctor for so many years, and I've never seen anyone with a stronger tolerance than him. You can't compare .”

"..." Sheng Rui wanted to cry but had no tears.

Anna couldn't stop thinking: "You should take good care of yourself. If hypoglycemia occurs again, he will be scared to death. You don't know how anxious he was when he took you to the consulting room last time."

As soon as Rhodes heard this, a big glowing face immediately looked over from afar: "Princess hug! Princess—"

"roll."

In the space age, sexuality|orientation|orientation has never been a taboo topic. Everyone has such an index in their files, just like marital status, it is not a shameful thing.

Many people noticed Qi Han's extraordinary care for Sheng Rui.It's just that because of Qi Han's seriousness, everyone dare not make fun of him casually.Now it can be regarded as a chance to catch it, and it would be unreasonable not to vent it fiercely.

Surrounded by wind and water, Qi Han himself did not change his face, with a posture of "letting the wind and waves rise, sit on the fishing boat", neither admitting anything, nor having any intention of defending and clarifying anything, as if what other people are saying is Another thing that has nothing to do with him.

Sheng Rui gritted his teeth with hatred.

In Sheng Rui's era, there was a word to describe such a character: languid arch fire.

For a person with this kind of temperament, even if others jump and scold him, he will still take it easy and keep quiet.Vigorously stirring up other people's fire, he is still fine.Moreover, unless he is willing to speak, otherwise you can't get a little bit of his real thoughts out of his mouth.

Qi Han turned off the BCI brain-computer interface switch and took off the eyepiece.

Huge and complex program modules are all controlled by brain power, and the mental consumption is astonishing.Even though he has an extraordinary physique, he can't help but feel dizzy and have a headache after persevering for such a long time, and his stomach is stagnant like a weight of lead.

He is also approaching the limit, but he doesn't want to show it, so as not to add to Sheng Rui's worries.

"I'm going to lie down." Qi Han said, walking towards a row of blue simple rooms by the wall.It was for the seriously injured and technical officers to rest. Although it was only made of a few foam boards temporarily, it was much quieter and more comfortable than outside.

Seeing that Qi Han was about to walk away in silence again, Sheng Rui was inexplicably upset.He didn't think there was anything wrong with Qi Han's expressionless iceberg face at first, but now he really wanted to tease him.

In the past few days, he chatted with Qi Han a lot and got closer.

Of course, the so-called "talked a lot" is only a few words compared to Qi Han's usual silence.

Through Qi Han's narration that couldn't be simpler, he knew an uncomplicated antecedent.

Qi Han's grandfather was once a contemporary of Sheng Rui. When he was seriously ill, he unexpectedly received an anonymous donation.The money not only allowed him to cure his illness, but also paid for his degree.

Later, he spent most of his life looking for that donor, and finally joined the deep space fleet, going to space through hibernation.

"You know what happened later." Qi Han concluded with this sentence.

Sheng Rui felt that such an explanation was too perfunctory and irresponsible.

——How did you find me?

——In your heart, what is the matter between us?

He wanted to ask.But since Qi Han didn't say anything, even if he asked, he would definitely not get an answer.

With a mischievous mentality and an unexplainable impulse, Sheng Rui suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Han's arm.

Qi Han was pulled back and heard Sheng Rui say: "I told you, actually I didn't donate that money to help anyone, but to be angry with my father."

"That's okay." Qi Han's expression was still indifferent, "No matter what your original purpose was, you did help others. Kindness is kindness, there is no difference."

Sheng Rui leaned over his lips and whispered in his ear: "But have you ever thought about it? What if I'm not a good person and just happen to do something good? What if I use you to repay me? Mood, threatening you endlessly, what are you going to do at that time?"

Qi Han was taken aback, but didn't realize what he meant by these words.

Sheng Rui had already let go of his hand, there was a flash of cunning in his eyes, and his tone returned to his brotherly gentleness: "Go and rest, and see how Xue Yuan is doing for me."

☆、Chapter 24

Xue Yuan's condition is very stable.

The so-called stability means that he has not woken up.

To preserve his bodily functions, doctors administered a sedative containing barbiturates and forced him into a deep sleep.

This made Xue Yu, who was guarding him, somewhat relieved.

Xue Yu had to admit that he was really an extremely cowardly person.

He was afraid to tell his brother the news himself—their father had gone mad and their home had been smashed by an angry crowd.

Under the instigation of the intelligence officers of the "Phoenix", Phoenix One is now filled with crowds of demonstrations and protests, asking the high-level officials of "Phoenix" to give an explanation, whether it is war or surrender.

Xia Changying delivered a public speech, allowing the public to watch the peaceful and peaceful scene of "Suzaku".

——In fact, those seemingly happy civilians are dressed up by the army of "Mianji".

The original residents of "Suzaku", except for a small number of talents who can be used, have been slaughtered as "redundant things".

Xia Changying hates most humans.Meritocracy, he said, does not require mobs.In the heaven he wants to build, there is only one god and many pigs, but there is no place for ants.

However, ordinary people in "Phoenix" do not know this.

What they saw in their eyes was only the tragic situation of Phoenix [-].Judging from satellite images, it has become a daunting fiery purgatory.

Xia Changying told them that this is the consequence of resistance.

As a result, while the high-level war faction and the peace faction were fighting fiercely, the people on the street also clashed, demanding that the "Phoenix" give up resistance and negotiate peacefully with the "Phoenix".

Some thugs took advantage of the fire to loot, and in the name of demonstrations, they beat, smashed and looted.

The Xue family's mansion was hit in this wave of unrest.

The father was locked up in a mental hospital, and all the servants at home ran away.Thugs smashed gates, broke into unattended houses, and did whatever they wanted.

Burned books.

A broken crystal chandelier.

Trampled roses and rosebushes.

a mess.

Xue Yu turned off the news webpage tremblingly, hugging his head in pain, bumping his forehead against the edge of the bed again and again.

Brother, what should I do?What should we do next?Get well soon and don't leave me alone with this.

Xue Yuan lay quietly, his body was naked, a horrific suture scar stretched from his chest to his lower abdomen.

He was as handsome as ever.The facial features that are too delicate for a man are just right on his face, without showing any femininity.

But he no longer had the high spirits of the past.The whole figure is like a rag doll that has been cut maliciously, lying limply in the trash can.

Xue Yu suddenly discovered that his elder brother was actually not as powerful as he once thought, and he would lie there helpless and powerless, unable to do anything.

And father.

And the governor.

Those who he once considered to be strong, those fathers and elder brothers who sheltered him from the wind and rain, are now collapsing like fortresses that have been breached by the enemy.

In the light and shadow of the treacherous and blurred fate, everyone's figure is so weak and ignorant.

***

While waiting anxiously, the day of evacuation of the refugee camp arrived as scheduled.

The first group to leave were the seriously wounded.

Xue Yuan was also among them.Anna fixed him and the simple extracorporeal circulation machine on a stretcher with a restraint belt, and two medical soldiers carried him to the nearest subway dispatching station one after the other.

The road to the dispatching station is neither far nor near.Combatants are fully armed and perform escort missions.

Qi Han changed into a brand new combat uniform, and put on goggles and headphones.A medium and long-range submachine gun is slung on the back, and a row of grenades is hung on the waist.A MDK "Mad Dog" assault knife was inserted obliquely into the thigh strap.

Sheng Rui leaned against the wall and watched quietly.Qi Han in this appearance is so good-looking that people can't take their eyes off, and "heroic and valiant" is far from enough to describe.

He couldn't help but want to grab the opponent's hand again - it turns out that a simple little action will become addictive if repeated several times.

Qi Han's hands are very different from his.His own hand, at first glance, belonged to a typical rich man.The ten fingers do not touch Yangchun water, and the skin is tender and tender.

But Qi Han's hand was cold and hard.If one only looked at those hands, anyone would imagine their owner as an iron-blooded man with a face as tough as a knife and an axe.

But Qi Han's appearance is very beautiful.

His handsomeness is different from Xue Yuan's flame-like brilliance, but like water.Unassuming and not burning, slowly wrap you up, let you indulge, and you can't see everything else except him.

Qi Han tidied up his tactical belt, and found that Sheng Rui had been staring at him, so he turned his eyes and looked back: "I will come back as soon as possible, be careful yourself."

"Okay. Be careful too." Sheng Rui smiled, looking a little lazy, exactly the same as usual.

Qi Han's eyes flickered, and he turned his head away to stop looking at him.

Sheng Rui's breath approached, brushing against his neck: "When we go back, can you give me this 'Mad Dog'? I want to keep it."

"..." Qi Han stiffened his body and nodded.

Sheng Rui's hand came from behind, and slowly covered his leggings: "Then I'll make an appointment first. You have to remember this, don't just confess yourself."

The words were ambiguous, and Qi Han had an illusion for a moment, as if what Sheng Rui wanted from him was not "mad dog", but himself.

The breath on the side of the neck suddenly left again.Agile and silent.

It was like a cat approaching suddenly and jumping away again suddenly.Come and go without a trace, unpredictable.

Qi Han turned his head halfway, caught a glimpse of those peach blossom eyes smiling slightly from the corner of his eye, and immediately turned his head back.

He wasn't even afraid of opponents like armored vehicles, but when Sheng Rui approached, he actually felt the pressure.

On that day, after saying those words of unclear meaning, Sheng Rui seemed to be different.

What exactly is different, Qi Han can't tell.

The previous Sheng Rui gave him the feeling that he was wrapped in a layer of translucent packaging film, vague and lukewarm, with almost no memorable qualities.

If Sheng Rui's identity wasn't too special for him, he would have forgotten him long ago, just like all the people he helped.

But now that layer of packaging film seems to have torn a hole, half hidden and half exposed, revealing the real thing inside.

——"If I use you...what will you do?"

When recalling this sentence, Qi Han was bewildered and startled.

He suddenly realized that there was actually nothing he could do about this person.

If the other person is a good person, then you are very lucky.

If not...

It seems that they can only stay with him "not good".

At this time, Qi Han didn't understand that this state was called "being eaten to death".

Even if he knew, he would never admit it.

The medical team and the escort team left, taking all the seriously wounded.

The shelter was suddenly much empty.

When there are soldiers around, although the atmosphere is a bit depressing, there is also a sense of security.

Especially the existence of Qi Han.

Whether the people around him really feel at ease, or they are restrained by his aura and dare not be irritable, they will behave calmly anyway.

Now that he is gone, some emotions are churning again, and some unstable factors are about to move again.

The "lighter" who hadn't caused trouble for a long time jumped out first, looking for a sense of existence.

"I just said how this kid is so confident. It turns out that someone is covering him above." With an unlit cigarette in his mouth from the lighter, he tilted Sheng Rui from head to toe, and his mouth was unclear, "Not bad , an alternate non-commissioned officer can hook up with a captain. How did you do it, let me tell you, and relieve our boredom?"

This is the first time Sheng Rui has heard of Qi Han's title being mentioned.

Since the Space Force implements corporate management, the concept of military rank has been weakened.Its role is like a job title, and it is not something that is often brought up.On weekdays, people are more accustomed to addressing each other by title, such as supervisor, director and so on.

It turned out that Qi Han was the captain.

Sheng Rui is not even a second-class soldier now, counting on his fingers, there are seven ranks in the middle.

This new little discovery actually made Sheng Rui somewhat inexplicably happy.Directly ignoring the offense of the "lighter", he didn't even bother to glance at the other party, and stayed in another place on his own.

Some people, the more you pay attention to them, the more they jump around.If you treat him as air, he won't have so much trouble.

"Lighter" saw that Sheng Rui's reaction was indifferent, as if he was giving in, and he seemed too lazy to talk to him, and suddenly felt that he had made a fool of himself.

What you want, what you don't want.In the end, he had no choice but to swear, and clicked and fiddled with the shiny golden Zippo again.

It's really annoying to listen to this voice for a long time.But fortunately, we are about to evacuate soon, and everyone is in a good mood. No one wants to make troubles at such a time, so we can bear with such trivial things as much as we can.

almost.almost.

As long as those soldiers come back, everyone can get on the spaceship back home.

After so many days of hard work, fear and hunger, now I am about to make it through.

Unexpectedly, once Qi Han and the others left, they never came back here.

The author has something to say: Thank you [Taishu] for mine!mwah! (づ￣3￣)づ

☆、Chapter 25

When Xue Yuan woke up, he had already returned to Phoenix One.

Even though he came back, things have changed.In just a few dozen days, the sea has changed.

The home was destroyed.

The home he lived in since he was a child, the home that kept his mother's memory, turned into a pile of dilapidated ruins.

Father is crazy.

Xue Yuan wanted to visit, but the doctor politely stopped him, fearing that his physical condition would not be able to withstand such stimulation.From the doctor's hesitant expression, Xue Yuan knew that his father's condition was not good.

The condition of the younger brother is unknown.

Xue Yuan tried many times, but Xue Yu's communication terminal was always turned off.

Qi Han is lost.

After sending Xue Yuan and his group of wounded to the spaceship, he turned back the same way to pick up the others, but lost contact midway.The whole team just disappeared, no one alive or dead.

The only thing that could be called a good thing was that he was awarded a Knight of the Iron Rose, which is awarded to those who have done bravery in battle.

A swarm of interviewers followed.They rushed into the ward, came out of all sorts of tricky places, and threw all kinds of microphones and "cannons" at Xue Yuan's face, until Xue Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the infusion stand and smashed one of them over.

After finally regaining his composure, Xue Yuan covered his head with a quilt.

It is indeed a good way to retract into the shell, at least temporarily.

Don't look, don't listen, don't want to.

Pretend nothing happened, pretend nothing exists.

If he hadn't heard a piece of TV news, he would have pressed the button of the pain pump to let himself fall asleep again.

[After the aviation laboratory, the No. 8 biological laboratory was also attacked...the scene was chaotic...there was not enough police force to maintain order...]

Xue Yuan's thumb stopped on the button, he lifted the quilt and looked at the floating screen.

That was the laboratory where Qi Lian was, where he had been.

The door of the laboratory was opened, and the guards and staff were gone.

Wherever the lens swept over, equipment and instruments were lying upside down, and test tubes and petri dishes were shattered.

The degree of mess is comparable to that of Xue's mansion.

The news then switched to something else.Xue Yuan was still staring at the screen, his mind was buzzing.

He knows how his things have been spoiled when left unattended.

In case Qi Lian is still left in that laboratory...

Xue Yuan shuddered, lifted the quilt off his body, and checked the injury on his abdomen.

Under the action of the cell regeneration accelerator, the wound has almost healed, but the strenuous exercise is not yet possible.

Putting on a coat casually over the hospital gown, Xue Yuan bypassed the monitoring and slipped out quietly.

Maybe I was worrying too much, but if I didn't confirm Qi Lian's safety with my own eyes, I couldn't convince myself to rest assured.

The streets are chaotic.Crowds holding signs stepped on the messy ground and paraded through the streets to demonstrate, and the shops on both sides of the road were closed.Bright yellow cordons were pulled up in many areas, and a row of secret service officers holding anti|riot shields stood.

Xue Yuan didn't care to look any further, and hurried to No. 8 biological laboratory where Anna worked.

Anna is the person in charge here, but her people are still on Phoenix [-] and haven't been withdrawn yet.

The building had apparently been ransacked and was covered in broken glass.Along the empty corridor, Xue Yuan found the room labeled "Cybio-ASILab (Artificial Superintelligence Cyber ​​Biological Laboratory)".

The metal door had been roughly cut in half, and a scarlet skull had been spray-painted on the remaining half.

Xue Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurried in.

In the dim light, the overturned petri dish could be seen.A whitish human body lay motionless in the slightly fishy artificial amniotic fluid.

"...Qi Lian?"

Xue Yuan squatted down nervously, and touched Qi Lian's face, it was slightly warm.The thugs probably took him as a embalmed specimen and didn't destroy him.

Suddenly a ray of light came in from outside the door: "Who's in there? Come out and register your name!"

It sounded a little familiar.

"Aiyo, look who is this?" Two people, one tall and one short, appeared in the light, "Isn't this Little Rose?"

Xue Yuan took a step back, looking at the two gradually approaching figures.

Enemy road is narrow.

These two guys were none other than the two unlucky guys who had fought with him before—or in other words, had been beaten unilaterally by him.

"What are you doing here?" The tall man shook Xue Yuan's face suspiciously with the flashlight, "Is there what you want here?"

"This is really a surprise from heaven." The short man moved his knuckles, "Taking advantage of this good opportunity, how about we settle the score?"

Xue Yuan bit his lower lip tightly, without saying a word.

When he came over, he saw the gendarmerie on mobile patrol.Calculate the time, it should be here soon.

"Isn't it good to hit him now?" The tall man hesitated, "After all, it's a special period, so don't commit crimes against the wind."

Now the entire territory of "Phoenix" has entered a state of wartime emergency.At this juncture, if there is a fight with a bad plot, it may go to a military court.

"What are you afraid of? This place is a blind spot for surveillance." The short man didn't care, "Just do it smartly so that no one can see it."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief, wrapped the knuckles of his right hand layer by layer, pressed it against the wound on Xue Yuan's lower abdomen, and pounded it hard.

This move can be described as extremely vicious: it can make Xue Yuan miserable, but it won't leave traces of sadism on him.

The severe pain ran along the spinal cord and rushed into the brain like an electric current.All the muscles in Xue Yuan's body convulsed, and even his breathing was suffocated.

As soon as the short man let go, he collapsed along the wall to the ground, curled up in pain.It took a long time before he gasped for breath.

The tall man took out a pair of dustproof shoe covers and handed it to the short man: "It's not enough to use too many fists, step on him! But be careful, don't kill him."

The short man took it and put it on the outside of his military boots: "Don't worry, Bao Zhun will make his life worse than death, I'm the best at it."

He raised his heavy boots and stepped heavily on Xue Yuan's abdomen.

The moment he was stepped on, Xue Yuan suddenly turned sideways and dodged.

The short man stumbled into the air and could hardly hold back his momentum. He staggered a few times before regaining his footing, and couldn't help but cursed: "You..."

But seeing Xue Yuan raised his hand, he tore the hospital gown on his body and messed up the bandages.

"What are you going to do?" The short man felt wrong and became vigilant.

Xue Yuan said slowly: "I didn't fight back just now, because I beat you, and I apologized to you. But if you push forward, don't blame me for being rude."

"Who are you scaring?" The tall man sneered, "Based on your current appearance, you can beat the two of us? Don't dream! If you beg us for mercy, we may let you go when we are in a good mood."

"Are you begging for mercy..." The light in Xue Yuan's eyes flickered, and his incomparably sensitive hearing had already caught it. At the end of the corridor, there was the unique sound of military police boots.

"People who beg for mercy are because they have scruples. But I don't have any now."

"My father went crazy, my home was destroyed, my brother didn't know what happened, and my best friend disappeared. I was dragged back like a dead dog myself, naked for showing."

"The me now is shameless and lifeless. Tell me, what else do I have to worry about?"

Following these words, Xue Yuan punched himself in the stomach with an elbow, and punched himself in the face with his backhand.

"Fuck?" The tall man was inexplicably surprised, "Is this kid crazy?"

Before the two of them could react, Xue Yuan rolled all over the floor, shouting loudly:

"Ahhhh—stop—"

The sound was so shrill, as if ten concrete piers were rolling over him.

"Who is there?!"

The clutter of boots in the corridor quickly approached.

When the gendarmerie rushed to the scene, they saw a scene that seemed familiar but completely different——

Xue Yuan lay on the ground as if he was about to die, his clothes were messed up, his face was covered in blood.

The two people next to him had distorted expressions and were out of breath.

"You two!" The captain of the Gendarmerie raised his Taser|shock|gun, "Hold your head and squat against the wall!"

"No, we didn't do it!" The short man said incoherently, "It was him, he did it himself! It was him!"

The gendarmerie captain glanced at Xue Yuan who was on the ground, and then at the short man: "Do you think I'll believe him when he looks like this?"

"It's really none of our business!" The tall man also yelled, gesticulating desperately, "He, he hit himself in the stomach first, and then in the face! He wanted to set the blame on us!"

The captain of the gendarmerie snorted coldly, then turned his head and asked his subordinates: "This man said, 'Little Rose' broke his own face, do you believe it?"

The gendarmes shook their heads in unison.

Who in the entire fleet doesn't know that "Little Rose" regards her beauty more than her life, and even dies beautifully.

The two couldn't argue for a while, so they had to continue to deny: "There is no surveillance video, so how can we say we beat him?"

"Isn't the scene obvious?" The gendarmerie captain's eyes were as cold as ice picks, "I can restore the situation just now: you hit him in the face first, knocked him to the ground, and then kicked him in the stomach. And, you It was done with the knowledge that he was wounded in the abdomen, and was very aware of the possible consequences. We are all witnesses. —Take photos, deposit evidence."

The captain of the gendarmerie called the emergency code on the walkie-talkie, and bent down to look at Xue Yuan: "The nearest medical team will arrive in 5 minutes. ——Are you okay?"

Xue Yuan nodded weakly

"Will a court-martial be called?"

Xue Yuan nodded again.

"Okay, then I will prosecute them for you. The attempted murder of an officer during the war was a war hero who had just received the Iron Rose Medal." The gendarmerie captain activated the prosecution procedure, and looked at the two with disdain, "You should also know the consequences What will happen?"

The faces of the two were pale with fright: "No! That's not the case! He framed us—"

The captain of the gendarmerie waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take them away, then leaned over and asked Xue Yuan, "There are a lot of emergencies today, and I have to rush to another place. Can you stay here alone and wait for the doctor to come?"

"It's okay, you go. Thank you."

The gendarmerie captain paused for a moment, then smiled suddenly: "To be honest, I didn't like you very much before. But it's different now, and I admire you very much. Regardless of whether we win or lose this war, thank you for what you have done."

He raised his hand in salute and left with the gendarmerie.

After lying down for a while, seeing that there was no one there, Xue Yuan turned over and got up, moved to Qi Lian's side, carefully inspecting his body.

Qi Lian was not injured and was fully developed.

He was a whole man now—a man, to be exact.

Anna was right. When Qi Lian was born, he would have the most perfect human posture.

Such a flawless body, I am afraid that even Qi Han himself will feel jealous when he sees it.The proportions are perfect, the muscles are tight, and the baby's skin is like water droplets, like a flower with dew.

Suddenly, Qi Lian's body moved, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xue Yuan was startled, and saw the eyes under the long eyelashes open.

The crystal pupils are as dark green as Qi Han's, translucent like emeralds, and they are breathtakingly beautiful.

At first, his eyes were slack, but he slowly gathered the light, turned around nimbly, and then stared at Xue Yuan curiously, as ignorant as a small animal.

——Hey?

Xue Yuan looked back into those eyes, not knowing how to react for a moment.

— Can this guy understand words?

— Should he be greeted like an adult, or should he be hugged like a baby?

After looking at each other for a while, Qi Lian opened his lips and spat out two syllables jerky: "Papa?"

☆、Chapter 26

Xue Yuan and Qi Lian were sent to the treatment room.

Xue Yuan's injury was not serious, he acted with discretion.

After tossing about re-bandaging and applying medicine, Xue Yuan ran to the next door to see Qi Lian.

Qi Lian obediently lay on the bed, watching the medical officer insert a long needle into his skin to collect blood samples, a little curious and a little scared.

However, when he saw Xue Yuan, his expression immediately relaxed: "Papa!"

"...Why does he always call that??" Xue Yuan's face darkened.

"The guy in charge of developing his language function is Italian, so he instilled the word papa in him." The medical officer also had a dark face, "I really want to be a father and I want to go crazy. This is an illegal operation, and the staff can't talk to the experimental subjects. Establishing an overly intimate relationship, including verbal cues."

The word "experiment subject" made Xue Yuan feel very uncomfortable, so he didn't answer.

After the blood was drawn, the medical officer instructed Qi Lian to press the needle hole with a cotton ball: "Hey, hold this gently and press it like this."

Qi Lian didn't go to pick up the cotton swab immediately, but looked back at Xue Yuan questioningly.

"Hold it." Xue Yuan signaled.

Qi Lian reached out to catch it with confidence.

With a click, the cotton swab broke.

Qi Lian was at a loss.The doctor patted his forehead in frustration, "I forgot to tell you, just hold it gently."

After a while, the blood sample analysis report was spit out from the instrument.

"There is nothing wrong with his body." The medical officer looked through it. "The problem now is that you have to take care of him during this period until the project team in charge of him withdraws."

"what?"

"Ah what! Who told him to see you first! Now that the imprinting behavior has been formed, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have given it to you!"

Qi Lian remained motionless, listening to them.As long as Xue Yuan is within the range he can see, he seems to be very happy.

"Can he understand us?"

The medical officer nodded, "Should be generally understandable. He has enough vocabulary and basic grammatical structures in his mind to handle daily conversations. But he is not good at speaking yet, like a machine with hidden functions, which needs to be gradually Activate programs."

"Papa!" Qi Lian suddenly called out again, looking at Xue Yuan expectantly.

"No, we won't." Xue Yuan waved his hands seriously.

Qi Lian understood the meaning of rejection, and her eyes showed confusion.

"...You!!" The medical officer was so angry that he wanted to knock a chestnut on Xue Yuan's head, but held back, "Don't talk to him indiscriminately, he will be ruined by you!"

"It's just a joke, why are you so nervous?" Xue Yuan covered his head sideways, "Don't hit me, I've been beaten enough these days."

The medical officer hesitated, "Let's go outside."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Qi Lian hurriedly wanted to follow.

Xue Yuan pressed his head and stroked it twice, "Stay here and don't move. I won't go far, just go outside that door and come right back."

Qi Lian stopped in her tracks, stared at Xue Yuan for a moment and walked out.

It wasn't until Xue Yuan stopped outside the door where he could see that he became happy again.

The medical officer turned around, turned his back to Qi Lian, and tapped on the glass curtain wall behind him: "This glass is soundproof, so he can't hear us. But be careful, he can read lips."

"Is this guy a born spy?"

"What do you think you spend so much money to create a replicant? For fun?" The medical officer pouted into the room, "He was born as a humanoid weapon, and all the muscle cells in his body have been optimized. He is said to be a superman. Not too much."

"So exaggerated?"

"What do you think! He didn't use much force on the cotton swab just now, but it broke after a little pinch. If he wanted to, this layer of tempered glass would be like plastic paper, and it would shatter with a single punch."

"This... is too..." Xue Yuan looked at the half-meter-thick glass curtain wall in disbelief, imagining the scene where Qi Lian punched it to pieces.

"It's nothing, the scariest thing is his brain. Qi Han also needs to switch and control the program through the BCI brain-computer interface, and he can do it directly. He is not connected to the Internet now, and when he connects in the future, he will be a A terminal processor that can perform cloud computing. That learning ability, obediently kills you!"

"...!" As a technical officer, Xue Yuan shuddered in horror.

"That's why I told you, don't tell him random things. If he scans the Internet and learns something that shouldn't be learned, and catches you to practice, your bones and tendons will be light. At that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Xue Yuan took a deep breath, "Such an important matter, let's talk about it earlier next time."

The medical officer sighed, "The reason why his brain retains the pattern of imprinting behavior is because according to the original plan, he should be taken over by special forces as soon as he was born, and let him imitate the best instructors and quickly learn combat skills. Now Once there was a war, such a big mistake happened, and the plan was completely messed up. ——In short, he is yours for this period of time. Until Anna and the others come back, you will be fully responsible for him."

The medical officer's expression seemed to be handing over an atomic bomb, with the gloat of "you carry the burden you have carried yourself".
