imperial conquest plan

Recently, territorial disputes between the Lianye family border and the Crescent people have intensified. The federal government requested negotiations with the Crescent people, but the other side turned a deaf ear and continued to gather troops in the border area.

The military has become more and more vigilant. On the surface, it still expresses the hope that it can negotiate peace with the New Moon people, but in fact it is already ready for a possible war.

An Lan has to continue to study except for the alien, but as a member of the army, he has to focus on military deployment.Recently, various military departments have carried out a large number of personnel transfers. An Lan has resumed training for the independent second team again, and has become an assistant teacher who was more than a year ago. All kinds of things almost exhausted him physically and mentally.

Qi Ling has disappeared for a month and a half, and there is still no news.

Even so, no one persuaded An Lan to give up, and he never thought of giving up.Qi Quan and Su Na still visit him regularly. After Qi Ling disappeared, the couple aged a lot overnight.

An Lan sat in the office with a lot of documents in hand. After Qi Ling left, he took over a lot of his work.There was a knock on the door, and Corey walked in carefully with a cup of coffee.

After that incident, Corey was still unable to face An Lan. The self-blame in his heart made him fall into a state of anxiety, and he missed training for several days in a row.

An Lan was not angry with him, even if it happened again, he knew that Qi Ling would still choose to save him.Even if it is myself, I will never sit back and watch.

Corey said: "Assistant teacher, please rest for a while."

"It's ok."

Corey stood still, his fists clenched tightly.The captain has been missing for so long and there is no news. No one blames him for the captain's disappearance, but he can't stop blaming himself.

"...Assistant teacher... I'm sorry..."

An Lan looked up at him from the document, and said slowly: "You don't need to apologize to me, when Qi Ling comes back, you can apologize to him."

Corey was taken aback, his nose was sore, he nodded, bowed, turned and left.

Soon after Corey left, another military meeting was held. The official officials who learned the truth about Qi Ling's disappearance seemed to have regarded this matter as inevitable, and did not emphasize the sudden security issue, and returned it to An Lan for inspection. task.

It was already late at night after the meeting, An Lan returned home exhausted and fell on the bed.He closed his eyes, his body was obviously very tired, but his mental anxiety prevented him from falling asleep.

An Lan didn't know how long he could last. He could feel that his spirit had been permanently scarred—this kind of trauma would become a shadow that would accompany him for the rest of his life. Even if Qi Ling came back, he could not be healed .

An Lan's broken finger was still wrapped in gauze, and his recovery ability was greatly reduced by the trauma.

An Lan whispered alone: ​​"...Why can't I find..."

At this time, Qi Ling, who had been asleep for a long time in the 0018 world, suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly out of the window.There are many stars in the night sky across the dome. Qi Ling sat up and often felt that An Lan might be on one of them.

He yawned and opened the door, wanting to pour some water to drink, and unexpectedly saw the slight light of the TV set in the living room.Qi Ling walked down the stairs and found Chongfeng sitting on the sofa wrapped in a quilt alone, staring at the TV with vigour.

Qi Ling was sleepy: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Chongfeng: "I can't sleep, watch TV for a while."

Qi Ling took two glasses of water, walked to the sofa and sat down, Chongfeng was watching the news, the news was live, and the picture was during the day.At this time, a man who looked like a leader was speaking seriously in the news, and the screen switched to images somewhere in the universe from time to time.

Qi Ling: "What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I just watched it not long ago." Chongfeng said, "It seems to be negotiating with aliens or something."

Qi Ling suddenly thought of what he had heard before encountering the Frozen Storm, and raised his voice: "Who are you negotiating with?"

"Crescent people." Chongfeng said, "Crescent people have always liked to harass the federal border since I was still in 0012."

After coming here, Chongfeng mentioned the word Federation for the first time, and he was quite touched. Although it was the country he once stayed in, it felt extremely far away from him.

Qi Ling: "It's them again? There was a lot of trouble before I left. I don't know how it is now."

The two were silent for a while, as if they suddenly thought of something, they looked at each other.Qi Ling looked puzzled: "Does this species exist in every time and space?"

Chongfeng: "How do I know that the crescent people of 0012 also emerged not long after humans experienced three wars, evolved supernatural powers, and opened up the territory of the Milky Way to threaten their territory."

"What about here? The people here have no abilities." Qi Ling asked, "The human territory here is far from the border of the Milky Way."

"To be precise, there are only the solar system plus the territory of five other galaxies."

Qi Ling pondered for a while, and the images of the Crescent Man were played on the news screen for a few seconds. Their appearance was particularly grotesque. Although they were also humanoid, their skin was dry and khaki. Their height was several times that of a human being, reaching three to four meters.

Qi Ling asked: "When did the commotion here start?"

"About a month ago."

Qi Ling was surprised, didn't this happen to be the time when 0012's borders became unstable before he left?coincide?

The news host said: "...However, the Crescent Federation turned a deaf ear to the Human Federation's negotiating demands, and continued to gather military forces in disputed border areas..."

Chongfeng: "It doesn't feel very peaceful."

Qi Ling feels that there is no absolute peace at all.

Chongfeng suddenly said: "I don't know if you have heard a rumor, or I heard it in 0012."

"what?"

Chongfeng turned his head and stared at him: "Do you know how the alien came about?"

"Isn't it because of a genetic mutation?"

"I'm talking about why there are genetic mutations." Chongfeng said, "After humans evolved into supernatural beings, the genes have been very stable, and the heterogeneity didn't exist at the beginning. I heard that something happened in the middle of it. Alien."

"why?"

"It seems to be because when humans fought against the New Moon people for the first time, a regiment of people mysteriously disappeared, and it was later confirmed that they were captured by the New Moon people. The war ended, humans won, and most of the captives also died. Back. No one knows what the New Moon people did to the captives except themselves, and the strange thing is that none of the captives told the truth.

"After examining the bodies of those captives, it was unexpectedly found that the genes of each of them were dozens of times more active than ordinary people, and many people even changed their traits many times in a day. Although the crescent people are not as good as humans in military , but have to admit that their biochemical level is very high.

"But those people's anomalies didn't last long before they returned to normal, and they became no different from ordinary people. Those people also returned to their normal lives and left their offspring. Decades after this incident, the aliens began to appear. was witnessed."

Qi Ling was shocked: "The New Moon people tampered with the bodies of those captives?"

"You can call it a biochemical experiment." Chongfeng said, "One of those captives is the grandfather of Brother Shangshan and Sister Ruoshui."

Qi Ling was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that there were so many incidents behind the alien.If the more than 1000 members of that regiment left their descendants, and their descendants continued to reproduce for generations, there would always be people with traces of the biochemical experiments of that year—that would be aliens.

Qi Ling: "Is this true?"

Chong Feng shook his head: "I've only heard about it, and I can't verify it."

"Does anyone else know?"

"I know." Chong Feng said, "Although we are very strong, if the strength comes from this way, it would be a shame no matter what."

Qi Ling silently looked at the people who were talking on the news.If what Chongfeng said is true, then he really feels very uncomfortable. Apart from the pain of loss and the cruel truth, is there anything else this power can do?

Those who long for this power simply don't understand how much they need to bear.

Chong Feng picked up the apple and fruit knife on the coffee table, and peeled the apples while watching TV. Accidentally, the blade directly scratched his hand, and the skin split open instantly, and blood flowed down.

Chongfeng just took a breath, looked at the wound, didn't care, took a paper towel and wiped the blood on the ground, a few seconds later, the wound healed quickly from the gap, and it was as good as ever.

When Qi Ling fought Chongfeng for the first time, he also discovered his amazing healing ability. Qi Ling asked, "How long did it take you to reach this level?"

"After the degree of alienation exceeds 80.00%." ​​Chongfeng replied, "You are already more than 60.00%, and you will be with us soon."

Chongfeng shook the fruit knife in his hand, smiled and said, "How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Qi Ling swallowed, but still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and boldly stretched out his arms.Chong Feng didn't show mercy, and with a single cut, Qi Ling's arm hurt sharply, and blood oozed out.The wound was about the same size as Chongfeng's just now, but Qi Ling took more than two minutes to heal, and there was a red mark on his arm.

Qi Ling shook his recovered arm and asked, "Can all injuries heal?"

"Basically, but there are exceptions."

"Like?"

Chongfeng pointed to his head: "Our strength and spirit are closely linked. The higher the degree of alienation, the greater the strength of the spirit, and your guides will heal faster than our sentries. But because it is linked to the spirit, when When you don’t have healing in your subconscious mind, the wound will heal very slowly or not at all.”

Qi Ling: "How could there be such an injury?"

Chong Feng shrugged: "Yes, there are many. The definition of 'injury' is very broad. It includes all kinds of other marks, including hickey marks and the like."

Qi Ling understood, and once again he felt that the alien body was far more advanced than he had imagined.

Anyway, it's almost dawn, Qi Ling intends to ask all his curious questions clearly: "Brother Chen said before that each alien has its own unique ability, what is yours?"

"The shape and number of my Quantum Beasts are changeable. In simple terms, they can become bigger or smaller, more or less, as I like."

Qi Ling had difficulty imagining the scene of Chongfeng's bats flying all over the sky: "How much more can it be?"

"Unlimited." Chongfeng replied, "But power is shared equally, that is to say, the more you have, the less power you have individually."

Qi Ling stared at his hand, what ability would he have?

Chongfeng said: "The omen of this ability appears quite early. I have the clue at [-]% or [-]%. You should have it too, but you may not pay attention."

Qi Ling thought about it carefully, he really didn't remember that he had any special ability, and finally he said: "I can move objects out of thin air, but I think you may all know this."

Unexpectedly, Chongfeng was stunned: "What? I don't know how to do it, and I haven't seen other people know how to do it."

Qi Ling was also a little surprised: "Huh?"

Chongfeng's expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "Show me."

Qi Ling looked at the apple on the table, stretched out his hand, slowly concentrated his attention, and held his fingers, the apple trembled for a while, and finally floated following Qi Ling's movements.Chong Feng stared at Qi Ling with wide eyes, and said in astonishment: "Why didn't you say it earlier when you are so powerful?"

"I didn't know, I thought it was born with a different type."

Chongfeng, however, seemed particularly excited: "This ability is too convenient!! Just move your fingers if you want!!"

Convenience is convenience, but the number of times Qi Ling uses it can be counted on the fingers.

After dawn, Qi Ling helped Hathaway make breakfast, while Chongfeng went to Chen Shangshan's room alone.

Chongfeng knocked on the door: "Brother Shangshan?"

"come in."

Chen Shangshan was standing in front of the bookshelf flipping through some books, turned his head to look at Chongfeng, it was not common for the latter to come to him.

"Where's Mike?"

"In the basement, he stayed all night." Chen Shangshan smiled helplessly, "He is too crazy about those machines."

Chong Feng came over and said, "Qi Ling accidentally showed me his abilities last night."

Chen Shangshan's expression became serious at once, and he said in a deep voice, "His ability has already formed? So soon?"

Chongfeng shook his head: "Not yet mature, but very special."

Chongfeng described Qi Ling's abilities to Chen Shangshan, who was silent for a while, then reached out and pulled out a notebook with a yellowed cover from the top shelf of the bookshelf.This notebook is full of various sketches and handwriting. It was written down by Chen Shangshan with his own memory not long after he first arrived. It is a rare quantum beast illustration book in the 0012 world.

Chen Shangshan turned to one of the pages, staring at the picture on the page, Chong Feng glanced at it, with a look of surprise on his face: "Do you think his final form of Quantum Beast is this?"

"It's possible, after all, the characteristics match."

Chen Shangshan pushed his glasses, looked down at the illustrated book, and fell into deep thought.

There is a snow-white little rabbit drawn on the page. The rabbit is lying on the ground with its eyes closed, and its ears are attached to its back. At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary docile rabbit.It's just that this rabbit has a bunch of round black hairs on the top of its head, like a black sun hanging on its forehead.

It is indeed very similar to Qi Ling's Oran Rabbit, Chen Shangshan thought to himself.

This harmless-looking little rabbit is called Zeus Rabbit, and one of its abilities is that it can bend space to make objects move at will.

The Zeus rabbit is also a breed that only exists in legends. What really makes it listed is not because it can move objects, but another, more mysterious ability.
