Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

Gene stayed for two seconds before he realized that he was so angry that he almost jumped, "Get out!"

He lay on the ground and looked under the bed. Mo hid at the innermost side of the bed and couldn't reach it.No matter how much Gene threatened, there was nothing in the house that would drive him out.In the end, he had no choice but to leave a sentence angrily, "Don't even think about eating if you don't come out", then slammed the door and left the room.

After Jin left, Mo didn't come out from under the bed immediately.He lay on the bottom of the bed clutching his statuette, and pressed his face against the statue, tears of grievance streaming down his cheeks.He just lay there sobbing under the bed, and fell asleep unknowingly in the midst of being hungry and sad.

Donald was already waiting on the screen when Gene walked into the room.Seeing Gene, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is that orc still alive?"

"Don't worry, he lives freely, tearing down my bedroom." Gene complained angrily, and sat down across the screen.

Donald breathed a sigh of relief, "I've got good news for you. I checked all the biological databases in the empire, but I couldn't find any information about him!"

Gene raised his eyebrows, "Is this good news?"

"This shows that he is an undiscovered species!" Donald clenched his fists excitedly, "But I found some clues in the autobiography of the lizard race. According to the records of the originator of the orc race, the lizard race, they once had an even older species." The branch is called the Dragon Race."

"Dragon?" Genn thought such creatures existed only in fairy tales.

"Although it is called the dragon race, it actually belongs to a branch of the lizard race. According to records, the dragon race lives in a primitive galaxy isolated from the world, and behaves mysteriously and low-key, even if they don't interact with other races."

"It's probably this low-level civilization." Gene held his head in his hands, put his legs on the table, and said dismissively.

Donald curled his lips, "Civilization does not distinguish between low and high. Didn't I teach you when I was in biology class?"

"Really? Then, do you want me to review with you with my fists, what is the natural rule of survival of the strong?" Gene clenched his hands and cracked his joints.

Donald swallowed dryly, coughed lightly and bypassed the topic, "This orc is hard to come by, you must bring it back to the empire when the mission is over."

"You don't have to wait that long. I'll kill him right away to make a specimen, and then send it back to you." Gene said as he stood up and touched the gun at his waist.

"No, no, I want to live!" Donald quickly stopped him, "And, you said he was still in the egg when he arrived?"

Gene hummed, "So what?"

Donald was thinking about something, "It is said that the dragon people's imprinting behavior on their spouses is very obvious. Is this a misrepresentation?"

Gene frowned at him, "Printing behavior?"

"According to records, the dragon people will regard the first person they see after breaking their shell as their spouse. Just like many creatures regard the first creature they see after breaking their shell as their mother, this is called the imprinting behavior of creatures .Because the dragon race is sparsely populated and strictly abides by monogamy. Therefore, in the long process of biological evolution, the genes produced to ensure the reproduction of species."

Gene raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this too rigid? What if the first person an Alpha sees after birth is also an Alpha?"

Donald shook his head, "It is said that the dragon people are not born with ABO races, they are all neutral at first. They will determine each other's attributes through the long-term life with their spouses. Especially as the Omega side, only after the attributes are determined , the body will gradually develop and form a growth cavity."

Listening to him, Gene suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the egg I saw was nearly two meters high, and the orc was already fifteen or sixteen years old after it was hatched. Is this normal?"

Donald scratched his head in doubt, "It's not mentioned in this record. It only says that their eggs are small at first, and they can grow up with the individual's growth, until the day when the egg breaks out. It is said that the patriarch of the Dragon Clan will put The eggs that are about to break are gathered in one place, so that they can find a mate of similar age after hatching."

Gene stayed for two seconds, "Group wedding? This is an easy way."

"Believe me, he is a creature with great research value!" Donald was afraid that Gene would kill the orc in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly ordered while the iron was hot, "You must let him live, and find the person he first met. If the record is correct, he will definitely listen to that person. Finding a way to find their planet, this will be an unprecedented breakthrough in the field of biological research!"

"Got it, it's really long-winded!" Of course, Gene would not say that he was the first thing the orc saw.He then gave an update on the mission to Donald and ended the contact.

Colin Star, Institute of Biochemistry

After Donald finished the communication, he checked the time. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening.He hurriedly dialed a communication number, and his legs kept shaking during the connection process, looking very disturbed.

"Dr. Donald?"

The moment the communication was connected, Donald heaved a sigh of relief, "General Manstein? I can find you at this time, great!"

The opposite party smiled, "Doctor, don't be so polite, just call me Kleedrich."

"Um, let me call you Admiral. I just contacted Gene. He is still looking for stabilizer materials. I think we should have new discoveries after you come back from vacation." Donald was uncharacteristically polite, The wording is also very careful.

The smile in Kleedrich's words was thicker, "It seems that the doctor should not report to me."

Donald smiled embarrassingly, "Last time because of Ige's visit, His Highness lost a lot of anger. Now that the plan has reached a bottleneck, I'm afraid His Highness will blame..."

"His Royal Highness knows that the plan has reached a critical stage, so he will naturally give it enough time. Although the safety of the plan cannot be compromised, if it takes time and the result cannot be obtained, I'm afraid I can't keep you." Kleedrich reminded.

"Yes. The Nicaea galaxy is rich in biological resources, and it has not been affected by humans. I am sure that in a corner of this galaxy, the most perfect material is hidden." Donald affirmed.

Kleedrich hummed, "Then please."

"The general also pays attention to his health, come back early."

Colin Star, a residential area under the military

Kleedrich ended the communication with obvious fatigue on his face.He continued unpacking in the living room, where a small suitcase lay on the carpet.Starting tomorrow, he will return to his residence on Duxing-Santa Nata to spend three weeks of estrus alone.For him, who is already in his early 30s, this time of year is a double test of physical and mental strength.

Didi, the communicator rang again.

Kleedrich stopped his hands again and connected the connection. Opposite was Claudia, the artificial intelligence system of the military department.

"Admiral Manstein, good evening. Let me inform you that the portal will open at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please wait at home."

Kleedrich froze for a moment, "What portal? I should start my vacation tomorrow."

"Yes, Admiral. Tomorrow morning, the portal of the military headquarters will open on time and take you to your vacation place," Claudia said.

Kleedrich frowned, "This is a private vacation, I usually go home by myself. Who arranged the portal?"

"It's Your Highness Rhine, General."

There was an obvious surprise on Kleedrich's face.Of course, he didn't mention the vacation with Rhine, and Rhine has been busy with government affairs recently, so he hasn't seen anyone from him for a month.But now it seems that Rhine has not forgotten what he said to him last time.

"Is there a problem, Admiral? I can contact His Highness immediately to reconfirm." Claudia's service is very good.

"No, Your Highness should have rested now." Kleedrich stopped her, "I see."

"Then see you tomorrow morning, Admiral."

After finishing the communication, Kleedrich stayed where he was for a moment.He didn't ask about the destination, because it was obviously not important where he was going.He was in a very complicated mood, and it took him a long time to realize that his luggage hadn't been packed yet.He went back to the suitcase, took out a photo frame from the folded clothes, and put it back on the low table next to the sofa.There was a double photo of him and Rhine on it, and he would bring it in his luggage every time he was on vacation, but this time it seemed that he would not need it.

Noon, Red Giant Star

A strong aroma of broth woke Mo up from his sleep.He swallowed, and poked his head out from under the bed.On the small table opposite the bed were steaming bowls and plates.He turned over and crawled out from under the bed, came to the table and looked at the food, his eyes sparkled.He was really starving.

"Hi, I'm Rodney." A voice sounded behind him.

Mo turned around immediately in fright.A strange man stood at the door and saluted him, "The captain asked me to take care of your daily life and teach you the daily habits of human beings."

Mo just looked at him vigilantly, without moving or speaking.

The two just stared at each other for a minute, and Rodney scratched his head a little worriedly.Gene said that he can communicate with humans normally, but it will be difficult to get to him.

"Uh, why don't you eat first? Are you hungry?" Rodney pointed to the food on the table and made a gesture of eating.

Mo looked at the food and then at him, as if he understood the connection between the two. The food was sent by him.Mo came to the table to pick up the bowl, and suddenly threw the bowl and soup out the door.Rodney was startled and hurriedly dodged, but half of his clothes were still spilled by the hot soup.

"Tan Tang Tang, what are you doing..." Before Rodney finished speaking, the plates and dishes flew out together.Then with a bang, the door was slammed shut and locked from the inside.

Rodney stood there stupidly, not knowing how he offended the orc.It took him a few seconds to recover, and he hurriedly tidied up the hallway before leaving to report to Gene.
