Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

Gene and Donald's eyes were on him simultaneously.There are many theories about time travel, and one of the most controversial is what happens when two instances of time travel meet.Some scientists believe that the one who traveled through will disappear, because this encounter will induce an error in the timeline.Some think the other will disappear because history has been rewritten at that moment.Donald's field is biological genes, and he doesn't have any opinions.But his buddy, Professor Mori of the Imperial Institute for Space Physics, thinks neither will go away, because the timeline itself won't necessarily catch the bug.

Now, a case has finally emerged that confirms his theory.

"So, you were saved by yourself 30 years later?" Gene guessed.

"Yes, but the price is that I killed him." The expression on Lear's face was obviously painful, but his voice was laughing, and he looked a little out of control.

This sentence shocked everyone's hearts.Genn touched the gun on his waist calmly, just in case.

"You killed yourself 30 years ago?!" Donald couldn't believe his ears, "Even if you are ruthless, aren't you afraid that you will disappear because of it?"

"I can't help it, because he won't save me!" Lear suddenly thumped the table hard, as if the pain in his heart had nowhere to go, "He is greedy for fame, and he has nothing in his heart except hunting for rare and rare species! I begged him to save me Take him on the boat, but he thought I was some kind of alien savage, and wanted to hunt me down with a tranquilizer gun. I know him too well, so I will be made into a specimen by him and become a stepping stone to his fame! I can't help it, I've waited 30 years and can't wait any longer! I can only kill him!"

"He's crazy. Shut up this lunatic and lock him up first." Gene ordered coldly.

Several crew members came up, covered his mouth and tied him up again, then dragged him away from the command room.Donald didn't stop, because his experience undoubtedly revealed the ugliest side of human nature.His utilitarianism and selfishness have resulted in only one surviving between the two selves, which may be the most ironic reincarnation.

"Jin, send this person back to the empire, I think Sen will want this person very much." Donald said.

"Then it's his fate." Gene snorted coldly, "When I get his interstellar map, I'll send him to you."

"That interstellar map is probably useless. If what he said is true, you won't be able to find that planet." Donald understood his intention.

Gene was taken aback, "Why?"

"According to his description, the dragon people are four-dimensional space residents who have mastered the time axis. How do you find a planet that travels on the time axis?"

"I don't think so." Gene shook his head. "When the egg came, there was a message attached to the portal. The content obviously didn't want us to disturb them. If they really mastered the time axis, they can leave us on their own initiative. Why are you sending eggs?"

Donald thought about it, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, "You can figure it out. But one thing is for sure, that dragon man is a time-bomb, and he doesn't know when it will be triggered. It's best to hurry up Sending him away and keeping him around is a disaster."

"Understood." Gene briefly agreed.

After the contact was over, Gene stood up and walked out of the command room, looking at Mo and Rodney sitting side by side on the ground outside the door.Mo was still gnawing on the jerky, and then saw Gene walking out.

"Hug by Gene!" Mo threw away the jerky and jumped up, throwing himself into Gene's arms as usual.

"Captain, be careful..." Rodney stopped immediately.The two had been sitting at the door, and Mo's mind was on the jerky, but he could clearly hear the conversation inside the door.At this moment, he has to be cautious, if something is triggered and the captain is shuttled away like Lear, the consequences will be disastrous.

Gene raised a hand to stop him.He looked down at Mo in his arms, hugged him and patted his head with a smile.Mo looked up at him contentedly, and then continued to put his face in his arms.

"I said, you stay at the door obediently, and then you can do whatever you want." Gene's tone was rare love, "Now tell me, what do you want to do?"

Mo raised his face and thought for a while, "I want Jean to go out with me to play."

"Okay." Gene looked up at Rodney and ordered, "He will follow me from now on. No one is allowed to touch him privately, including you."

Rodney understood that he wanted to keep the danger by his side, "Captain, this is not a long-term solution."

"It won't be too long." Gene obviously had something in his words, "Before then, in case something happens to me, you will temporarily act as the agent of the Red Giant Star until the mother star sends a new captain."

"captain……"

Rodney wanted to say something more.But Gene ignored him, patted Mo on the shoulder instead, and led him away from the door of the command room.

evening

After dinner, Jean left the mothership with Mo and entered the murloc port again.The two walked and strolled, passing by bars, night markets, and shops, and finally came to a residential area.Although this is a trading port, many orcs have settled down here, and they make a living by doing business or helping out at the merchants.

This piece of sand is obviously the habitat of temperature-changing animals. There are many pits on the surface, and there are steps or slopes leading directly to the ground.Most ectothermic animals live underground, because the underground environment is stable and the temperature changes little.When the two were wandering in this area, they accidentally ran into the snake tribe man they saw in the bar during the day, and only then did they know that he lived here.

When the snake people saw them, they warmly invited them to their home unexpectedly.His home is 7 meters below the soil surface, with an area of ​​about 60 square meters.The life of the orc people is simple and simple. The so-called home is actually a sleeping nest, with some clothes and food piled up beside the earthen wall.His "property" is also placed on the bright side of the nest, in addition to a few gems, there are also gold coins obtained from Jin during the day.

Gene looked at the snake nest, and didn't know what to praise if he wanted to be polite.But Mo seemed to like it very much, he was surprised, and then jumped onto the "bed" made of a pile of grass and leaves.He rolled happily and patted the leaves around him, obviously liking it.

"Mo!" Gene scolded with a frown.

"It doesn't matter, we are of the same clan, I guess he also likes this kind of nest." The snake people are very generous.

Mo rolled happily, returned to Jin's side with leaves and grass in his hair, and plunged into his arms coquettishly.Gene sighed inwardly, and while picking grass for him from his hair, he secretly thanked that there were no plants on the mothership.The snake people looked at them with envy in their tone.

"It's rare for heterogeneous love to have good results. You guys are really rare."

Gene paused for a moment, then continued to pick grass, "Let me ask you, is there a residential community here?"

The snake people burst out laughing, "You mammals like to live in groups, but most of us reptiles live alone, and live with their spouses at most. There is no community, but the patriarch here will hold regular meetings and ask everyone Life."

"That's right." Gene seemed to be thinking about something.

"By the way, tonight is just the time for the patriarch to hold a bonfire meeting. Are you coming?" The snake tribe seemed to remember something.

"Go! Go!" Mo couldn't wait for Gene to open his mouth and said immediately, then hugged Gene and swung his tail back and forth, "Let's go too, Gene!"

Gene smiled slightly, "Okay."

Mo was so happy that he jumped back onto the straw bed and rolled around again.Gene watched him, something hidden in the smile on his face.The snake tribe's eyes were sharp, and there was a question mark in their hearts when they saw Jean's expression.

After a while, the three of them left together and walked across a large sandy field to an open area.A bonfire has been lit in the central area, and there are many reptile orcs sitting on the surrounding sand, mainly snakes and lizards.Mo was so excited to see the same kind, and immediately ran to the crowd to talk to someone.Gene found an open space to sit down, watching Mo in the crowd by the bonfire.The firelight illuminated his happy smiling face, and Genn couldn't help smiling, although the corners of his mouth were a little forced.

"You don't want to keep him here, do you?" The snake clansman coiled around him.

Jean was shocked, and turned his head to stare at the snake people.Is it difficult that their ability can read people's hearts?

The snake people looked at his expression, smiled and said, "Don't stare at me. You take a ladle of water to look at yourself, with reluctance written all over your face. Anyone can see it except the little fool around you. come out."

Gene's expression froze for a second, and then he coughed softly as if to cover up, "Don't guess."

"He seems to be very dependent on you. If you go, he will die of grief."

"But this suits him very well, and he is very happy here." Gene seemed to be saying to him, more like saying to himself.

"Can't you see that it is in his genes to rely on a spouse." The snake people understood what he meant, "You humans are too civilized to forget the importance of instinct."

Jean wanted to say something more, when suddenly several roars of beasts sounded.The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the people who were chatting returned to their positions.Mo waved hands with the person who was talking with him, then jumped back to Jin's side, and got into his arms to be hugged by him.Genn took off his coat and put it on him, and put his arms around his body.

"Is it cold?"

Mo shook his head, and leaned his body into his arms dependently.At this time, a member of the Snake tribe walked to the fire. He was more than ten meters long with a tail, his hair and beard were gray, and the scales on his body were each the size of a palm.

"Is he 80 years old?" Gene couldn't help asking the snake tribe in a low voice.

The snake clansmen burst out laughing, "I need to add 1 in front."

Gene let out a breath of surprise.At this time, the patriarch cleared his throat and opened his mouth. Although his voice was old, it was loud and clear.

"Today is the monthly group meeting. Do you still like living here?"

"I like it!" Mo immediately raised his hand and said loudly.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the person in Jean's arms.The patriarch's gaze also cast over, and then blurted out in surprise, "Dragon people?"
