Star Planter

"Good day, Colonel Lin." Irene was not surprised by Lin Ji's appearance.She smiled and said hello, and the yellow retriever appeared at her feet.

The call of the spirit body seemed to be a signal, almost instinctive, and the white rabbit blocked Han Rui.Han Rui took a step back and looked at Irene with complicated eyes.He found the shadow of his mother in Irene's mouth, and was briefly confused, but the appearance of Lin Ji made him face the reality.The person in front of him was not a human being, whether it was Irene or the mother in his father's mouth, they were all just alien creatures occupying the shell of a human being.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Ji drove the mecha close, and the silver direwolf got out from behind the mecha, guarding the other side of the street.From the beginning to the end, Irene stood where she was, just smiling gently, as if she had no intention of leaving at all.The three of them faced each other in a triangle, Lin Ji jumped out of the mech, faced Irene silently, and said calmly for a while, "Who are you?"

This question has too many meanings, just like what Han Rui asked before.Irene glanced over Han Rui, thought for a while and said, "My original name is not important. In fact, I prefer to be called Song Silan." Han Rui's expression changed slightly, and Lin Ji's face showed no expression. Irene smiled lonely and said: "Maybe you don't believe it, but in my knowledge, I am Song Silan. I have all her memories before the age of 18 and her experience after the age of 18. I joined the federal army and became your adjutant. I met Han Qi in a high tower event, got married, got pregnant, and gave birth to a child with full expectation. These are my choices, my experiences and my life.”

When she said this, she looked at Han Rui apologetically, "I'm sorry that I abandoned you shortly after you were born, but I have no choice. I have looked for your father and you for a long time afterwards, but I have never heard from you."

Han Rui clenched his fists, avoiding Irene's sight, and said, "Father was parasitized by... an alien creature like you, and committed suicide three years ago." Crying that there is a monster in his mind, why he hides and refuses to go back to the Federation, why he only talks about his mother when he is crazy, but never mentions it when he wakes up, and now, three years later, he seems to have the answer.

"Sorry." Irene said again, with a sad expression on her face, "Your father is very smart, he guessed my existence... The parasitism was just a last resort, and it turned out..."

"Why?" Han Rui asked sharply.

Irene looked at him with a complicated expression, "This is war, and there is no reason for different races to live and die." Xu Shihan Rui's expression was too ugly, so Irene explained, "We used to be so high above ourselves that we were gods. , but in the end we had to stay away from our parent star and drift into the universe. After tens of thousands of years passed, we finally found our way back to our parent star, but..." There was a hint of self-mockery at the corner of her mouth, "The former pet has become our biggest obstacle. "

"It's the theory of grace again." Zhuang Wei's voice sounded, and he and Li Zhengdao rushed over after receiving Lin Ji's notification.The coercion of the high-ranking sentry swept across, and Zhuang Wei said in a deep voice: "Surrender."

There is no doubt about the value of Irene. The Federation wants to understand the dark beasts and alien parasites, and Irene is the best breakthrough.Although it was difficult for Zhuang Wei to understand the feelings of the parasite in Irene's body towards Han Rui, because of Han Rui, Irene had a high probability of choosing to vote for the Federation.

After his words fell, Irene smiled slightly and said, "What about after the surrender? Becoming a test subject of the Federation? Will General Zhuang allow me to be with my child?"

This question was expected by Zhuang Wei, and Zhuang Wei quickly said: "I promise not to do the former, but you and Han Rui can live together under certain conditions in the latter."

"What a generous answer, but it's a pity that the Protoss will only die in battle and will not surrender." Irene's eyes swept over Zhuang Wei and Li Zhengdao, and she ran towards Han Rui with a slight flash.She was extremely fast, and there was an afterimage behind her. The yellow hound was chasing after her, and she was in front of Han Rui in the blink of an eye.It's just that Irene is faster, and Lin Ji is faster than her.The silver direwolf roared, and suddenly stood in front of Han Rui, leaping high and biting Irene.After such a delay, Lin Ji's body has bounced up, and he stretched out his hand towards Irene with the momentum of the situation.

Although Irene is a sentinel, she is an auxiliary sentry and is not Lin Ji's opponent at all.The moment the direwolf bit her, Lin Ji's fist also hit her.All this happened in a blink of an eye. Zhuang Wei and Li Zhengdao could see the fight between them clearly, and Han Rui only had time to let out a short exclamation.The next moment, a silver figure emerged from Irene's body, the fluorescent light flickering like water, the outline of the tall figure was blurred, and the gender could not be distinguished.

The figure opened its arms, and the violent spiritual power gathered. "Be careful." Zhuang Wei quickly reminded, Lin Ji erected a sensory barrier, and a huge impact hit, Lin Ji had to take a step back.Taking advantage of this gap, the figure rushed towards Han Rui.Zhuang Wei suddenly burst out with great strength, and his punch hit the figure's back like a storm.The silver figure didn't dodge, and resisted Zhuang Wei's attack, holding Han Rui in his arms.

The moment the two came into contact, it was as if a bridge was built in the spiritual world, and complicated memories penetrated into Han Rui's mind. Han Rui only felt that the body holding him was a little dim, and the silver light spots went out in front of his eyes one by one.

"Why?" Han Rui asked in a low voice.

In the spiritual world, the silver figure could no longer be solidified. She smiled reluctantly, "Every mother will choose the best path for her child. I love you, thank you for letting me experience what it's like to be a mother."

Han Rui was silent, and said in a low voice, "...Mom."

The last silvery spot of light went out, and the alien parasite gradually shriveled and shriveled, finally turning into a milky white gel-like object.The three of Lin Ji surrounded him, not knowing what to say to the corpse on the ground.Eileen seemed to have known about their plan, but she cooperated with Han Rui until they appeared.Or Irene had made up her mind to die from the very beginning.She found Han Rui who had been missing for many years, and found out that her identity had been exposed. She hesitated between leaving and staying, and finally chose to die in front of Han Rui as a mother.

The plan to trap Irene failed, but the four of them couldn't say anything.Han Rui stood quietly in front of Irene's body, Lin Ji looked at him pitifully, and stretched out his hand to pat him with a sigh. "I'm fine." Han Rui whispered, "Mom...she gave me a memory."

Zhuang Wei suddenly looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"I don't understand it, but it should be genetic biotechnology."

Zhuang Wei and Li Zhengdao looked at each other, and immediately said: "From the information sent back by Lu Li, the alien parasites belong to the biotechnology civilization, and the Federation is just weak in this respect. This memory will be of great reference to the Federation's technology. role. I will apply to the president and specially recruit you into the Federal Academy of Sciences. Han Rui, don't let us down."

"I want to stay in the Seventh Army." Unexpectedly, Han Rui lowered his head and made his request.

Zhuang Wei was stunned, and Li Zhengdao couldn't ask for it, "That's just right, Zhenhaixing has its own research institute, Xiao Hanrui doesn't mind going there, does it?"

Han Rui nodded.The man said that every mother chooses the best path for her child.He didn't know what that person originally wanted him to choose, but he felt that staying in the Seventh Legion and trying his best to make up for the sins that person committed on Iris Star 18 years ago was the path he wanted to choose.

Su He, who is tens of thousands of light-years away, still doesn't know what happened to Zhenhaixing.From the federal border area to the Iris Star, the people on the Iris have traveled twice.After confirming that the heading was correct, this time Lu Li chose to jump through a long-distance wormhole to save time spent on the journey.In just one day, Iris spanned tens of thousands of light-years.When they jumped out of the wormhole for the last time, the asteroid belt could already be seen within the field of vision of the observatory.Of course, this vision refers specifically to the sentinel's vision.As a guide, Su He couldn't see anything.

At this time, Su He was staying in the restaurant to harvest the latest mature crops with Chen Hongliang.This crop was discovered by the Sentinels on the small island in the middle of the Iris Star Sea last time.At that time, Su He was busy arranging formations, so many transplanted plants were neglected, and all of them were handed over to the people in the settlement.This time when I went back to Elson, I was eager to show him my credit. The people in the settlement not only took good care of these plants, but also found several edible plants among them.

From Su He's point of view, most of the plants mentioned by Elson are seasoning ingredients, and there are similar seasonings on the Iris, which are not of great value.What is really valuable is the crop he is harvesting.It is about one meter high, and the whole plant is reddish. It looks a bit like the wheat on the earth, but the ears produced are much larger than those on the earth.

The residents on Iris Star didn't know how to eat this kind of crop. Su He saw that after they harvested it, they steamed it together with the belt and fruit, and just swallowed it like this.He took a bite and felt that his throat was grinding, but for the residents of Poxing who are used to taking nutritional supplements, this kind of food is already extremely delicious.

"Little guide, what should we do next?" Chen Hongliang finished his work and looked at Su He excitedly.

Su He recalled the steps of peeling wheat on the earth. First, spread the harvested crops on the ground, then found a sealed metal bucket filled with water, and used it as a roller to grind and peel the wheat in a circle.As soon as he turned around, Chen Hongliang stopped his movement, took over the metal barrel and turned vigorously.The sentinel is full of body, and it is much easier to work than Su He.Chen Hongliang joked with him, "The little guide told the boss that whoever made a mistake on the Iris will be fined to work in the kitchen."

"Yeah." Su He smiled and nodded, thinking that this proposal is good.

It took the two of them a while to grind all the harvested crops into flour. At this point, Chen Hongliang knew what to do without Su He's guidance.He and Su He were thinking about what to eat later, and Su He's mouth was watering.

Su He has already made up his mind that the first thing he will do when he returns to the Federation is to apply for a patent for this alien "wheat".The transformation of the Iris star will take some time. Before that, he will rent a large piece of land near the Seventh Legion to plant this alien "wheat".
