Starborn Zero II: Tales of the Dragonmen

that evening

After the daily exercise, Jean did not return to the residential floor immediately, but came to the experimental area to check the situation.The sword horned dolphin has come to life and has been trying to break free from its chains since waking up.After continuing to struggle to no avail, its body was covered with scars left by the chains.At this moment, it is exhausted and does not move, and it closes its eyes and does not look at the food prepared for it.

"Any results?" Gene asked a researcher.

"Still analyzing." Most of the researchers have rested at this time, so the final result has not yet been released.

At this time, Rodney walked in, saluted Gene, and reported the security situation near the mothership.Most of the sword-horned dolphins have left, and there is only one sword-horned dolphin left beside the mothership.It kept hitting the mothership with its body, leaving scars all over its body, but it didn't stop.

"Never mind it, it's not a threat alone." Genn didn't care.

"If the test results come out, will we be able to release it?" Rodney asked.

Gene looked at the rest of the researchers, "I'm afraid it's too late tonight, maybe tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, a shrill siren sounded suddenly.Rodney connected to the command room to inquire, and the source of the alarm came from the slide door of the mecha cabin.Gene and Rodney walked into the elevator in a hurry, and the elevator descended to the bottom of the mothership, and the two rushed to the mecha cabin immediately.

Mech cabin

The door of the exit of the mecha slideway was wide open, and Mo was standing at the exit, looking out.Outside the dark door, the howling sea wind rushed into the door with white foam.Through the light inside the door, one can vaguely see a sword-horned dolphin wandering outside the door. The black dorsal fin is like a shark with an ominous aura.

"What are you doing!" Gene roared angrily when he got out of the elevator.

Mo heard Jin's voice and turned to look at him.His eyes were red, as if he had been crying.

"It's crying. They won't save it, it's going to die!" Mo shouted at Jin, but his voice was mostly covered by the wind.

Gene came to the door in twos and threes, grabbed Mo's hand, "Are you crazy, come back to me..."

Suddenly Jin's eyes widened, and the next moment the sword horned dolphin rushed into the door by the waves.In desperation, Gene hugged Mo and fell down together, and rolled away from it a few times while holding him.Rodney strode in front of the two, drew out his laser gun and aimed at the struggling animal.Gene also turned over and jumped up the next moment, took out the laser gun in his waist and pointed it at it as well.

Mo quickly got up, hugged Jin's leg and cried while shaking him, "It only wants to save its companions, and the others are unwilling to save them. Jin let them go!"

The animal was still struggling and rolling, but there was no sign of attacking, as if it was exhausted and just wanted to rush into the ship.It made a shrill cry, the sound was extremely penetrating, and there was endless sadness and despair in the high pitch.In the experimental area, the end that had been motionless suddenly began to struggle desperately, and made the same cry, as if echoing this end.

Gene pointed his gun at it vigilantly, and exchanged glances with Rodney. It seems that this end is indeed desperate to save his companion.

"Call all the researchers on board and give the results within an hour." Gene gave the order.

"Yes!" Rodney glanced at the animals on the ground, "Captain, be careful, beware of fraud."

Gene hummed, keeping his hand on the laser lock.

At this time, Mo crawled to its side, patted its head and looked at it, as if communicating with it.

Gene immediately opened the laser lock, and warned Mo in a low voice while being vigilant against the animals, "Come back!"

"I told it, its partner will be fine." Mo continued to stroke its head.The animal became more honest, and looked at Jean, with tears in its eyes.

"Come back!" Gene said in a more serious tone, "These animals are very intelligent, aren't they planning to drown me during the day?"

"They're not the one talking to me!" Mo argued loudly, "It and its companions have been living in isolation, so their clan didn't come to rescue them."

Gene eyed it dubiously.Its abdomen is clearly sexed, and this is also a male.Probably the two males who lost in the leader's battle live together as companions.

"I won't hurt it, you come here first!" Gene ordered.

"If I leave, it will be disturbed." Mo still leaned on it and refused to leave, "I can't leave."

Genn watched it warily for a moment, then walked cautiously to its side.Maybe it understands that it is weak, or maybe it is begging for perfection for its companions, its eyes are always pleading.Gene finally put away his gun and frowned at the man.

"The two are almost as stupid." He sighed in his heart, and when he came to the entrance of the slide, he closed the cabin door first, and then dragged a water pipe in the cabin.

Mo looked at him puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"Aren't you afraid that it will become dried fish if it stays here?" Gene put the water pipe on it, releasing water to keep its body moist.Mo carefully sprinkled water evenly on its body, and the animal did not move and let him manipulate it.

"He is my spouse, he will not hurt you and your partner." Mo said softly to the animal.

Gene pursed his lips and did not speak, and stood aside with his arms folded, watching, the strange feeling in his heart reappeared.

An hour later, the elevator opened again, and Rodney hurried out.Then I saw Jin and Mo and the sword horned dolphin, with six eyes staring at each other.

Rodney stayed there, coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Is there any special communication going on here?"

"Don't talk nonsense, is the result out?" Gene turned to him.

"Among all the biomaterials obtained, the ink in the corner has the highest effective rate of 74%, which still does not meet the standard for stabilizers." Rodney said in a regretful tone.

"Then let it go." Gene seemed relieved.

Rodney looked at him unexpectedly. This was the first time he had seen Gene not get angry when he learned that the mission had failed.

Gene noticed his eyes, frowned and said displeasedly, "What are you looking at?"

Rodney immediately reacted and saluted, "Yes, I'll go right away."

In the middle of the night, the mecha cabin of the mother ship was opened again, and the two stegopodils were released back into the sea.They immediately dived into the water and disappeared for a moment.At this time, the people on the ship found that there were a few more sword horned dolphins nearby, but they just waited and watched from afar, and did not come to greet them when they saw two of the same kind being freed.

"Is that their group?" Rodney looked at Mo.

"Well, I can hear the other end that talked to me during the day." Mo said with certainty.

"They came to check on the situation." Gene suddenly understood something. "When Nightmare entered the water, he didn't see other sword-horned dolphins, which means that they were warned by the group in advance. The one that strayed from the group didn't get the warning, and the group just used It comes to explore our reality, anyway, it doesn't care whether its fate is dead or alive."

"This..." Rodney looked at Gene, but such a high IQ made people feel inexplicably cold.

"I hope I guessed wrong." Gene snorted coldly, and suddenly turned his gaze to Mo.He still opened the door to look at the traces on both sides, and didn't notice that Gene was looking at him.

Rodney's heart moved, and he understood what Gene was thinking.So Mo, is he also like this outlier, used by his group to throw stones to ask for directions?

"Notify the command room, fire warning." Gene said and turned and left the door.

"Gene...wait for me..."

Seeing that Gene was leaving, Mo immediately ran after him and held his hand.Gene didn't shake him off, but let him walk into the elevator with his arm.

"You're going to sleep by yourself tonight."

"hug……"

"I said I'll only hold you for one night."

"But the heater lamp is out."

"Lie, I was fine last night."

"If Gene doesn't hug him, the warm lamp will be broken."

"You spare the warm lamp."

Santa Natta Star, Rheinburg

At eight o'clock in the morning, Kleedrich woke up from his sleep.He felt sore and tired all over, and his waist was so sore.However, the desire to move during the estrus period has been reduced a lot, and instead, there is still a faint pain in a certain part of the back.He instinctively felt that he should have been intimate with Rhine last night, but he couldn't remember what happened, and he should have lost his mind at that time.

He barely sat up with his body propped up, and a moment later there was a knock on the door, and then the butler came in with a hot handkerchief and clothes.

"Admiral, you are awake."

Kleedrich was surprised when he entered the door, "How do you know I'm awake?"

"There is a heat detector in the room, which can detect signs of biological activity." The housekeeper respectfully handed him a hot towel for him to wipe his face, and then put the clothes next to the bed, "But don't worry, your privacy is absolutely confidential, because That is His Highness's privacy."

Kleedrich was a little ashamed. It seemed that the butler was well-versed in the world and knew exactly what he was thinking. "It was my words that were presumptuous. Where is Your Highness?"

"Your Highness is visiting the United Kingdom of Angola today, and left at the portal at 6 o'clock in the morning." The butler bowed his head and spoke very respectfully, "There will be a robot waiting for you in the bath soon, I hope this will make you feel more at ease. How about breakfast? In the room or in the restaurant?"

Clyderich was a little embarrassed.Although he came from a famous family, the person he was serving in front of him was the butler of the crown prince's palace.His status is as dignified as a senior official in the executive branch.

"You're making me unbearable."

The housekeeper smiled slightly, his courteous attitude remained unchanged, "Your Highness has an order to take care of you like him. I have served Your Highness for 25 years, and this is the first time I have heard such an order. Please forgive me for any inappropriate execution. .”

Kleedrich breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped saying more polite words, "I changed my clothes and went to the restaurant. Can I watch the official live news of the empire there?"

"Yes, I will prepare right away."

An hour later, the small restaurant on the third floor

The butler took Kleedrich to the small restaurant on the third floor of the castle.This is next to Rhine's study, where he usually spends afternoon tea and desserts.Walking into the restaurant, the room is decorated with many famous paintings and sculptures, with a strong artistic atmosphere.Kleedrich was surprised to find that there was actually a sketch of himself on the wall in a corner of the small dining room.At the bottom of the photo frame, Rhine's own name and date five years ago are signed.

"This is His Highness's personal work, and it has been hanging here since it was completed." The housekeeper smiled and introduced, "His Highness said that he listened to your class when he was studying in the military academy and appreciated your talent very much."

"Actually, His Royal Highness is an outstanding military student. I just took one or two theoretical lessons for him..." Kleedrich recalled the scene of meeting Rhine for the first time, and couldn't help but say something more, but immediately realized that it was too much to say. Then shut up.The butler smiled knowingly, and turned on the temporarily prepared holographic screen.

"Breakfast will be here soon. This is the live news you ordered."

After thanking Kleidrich, he sat down at the dining table, and the news was broadcasting Rhine's official visit to the United Kingdom of Angola.Seeing his figure, Kleedrich's heart felt hot, and he couldn't hold back his desire to see him.But in the next moment, his attention was attracted by the small text scroll bar under the live broadcast, which was undoubtedly explosive information for him.

"Schmidt Fitzmaurice, the Minister of Intelligence of the Imperial Army, suddenly took the blame and resigned this morning. He is currently missing."
