back to Earth

Cheng Zhen was confused, he didn't know how he got back to the mothership and how he got out of the cockpit.

His only consciousness is a pair of powerful and reliable big hands, holding him tightly.With those hands leading him forward, Cheng Zhen felt inexplicably at ease.It seems that as long as you follow the owner of these hands, you will not lose your way no matter how rough the road is.

Whose hands are these, he thought?So warm and so reassuring.

Before I knew it, my chaotic thoughts could no longer stand the exhaustion, and my consciousness gradually became blurred.

Before falling asleep, the only thing Cheng Zhen could feel was the temperature of the person beside him.

Maybe it was because the previous battle was too fierce, even when he fell asleep, he was not very stable, and he continued to dream of fighting the enemy in a daze.In the dream, flames were flying, and everyone's emotions were tense and intense.

Cheng Zhen drove the morning star to fight, even though he knew it was just a dream, he was unwilling to lose.

Fight, fight, with fewer and fewer people around.The starry sky was getting dimmer, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the whole world.

A black figure broke in at this moment, Cheng Zhen was startled and wanted to keep up with that person's pace.But the other party went further and further away, leaving him behind.

etc!He stretched out his hand, trying to call out to the distant figure.

However, the other party gradually disappeared from his eyes.

"You—wait a minute!"

Agitated, his eyes suddenly opened, and before Cheng Zhen recovered, he saw a black object very close in front of him.

He subconsciously reached out to grab it, and a second later, there was a scream in the treatment room.

Lei Na took a few steps back, covered his nose in pain, and pointed at Cheng Zhen angrily.

"As for it? Is it necessary! I just want to hear what you are talking about in your sleep, and you treat me like this?!"

Only then did Cheng Zhen fully wake up from the dream, looking at the leader of the treatment team who complained to him with tears in his eyes, he said speechlessly. "I'm sorry, Reina, this is just a subconscious defensive action. Who told you to take advantage of me--" His eyes sharpened when he said this.

"What did you just say?" The black-haired boy turned his eyes and stared at a bad captain. "You're eavesdropping on me talking in my sleep!"

Reina didn't look guilty at all, rubbed his nose and said. "It's not eavesdropping, it's listening openly! I'm caring about patients, and I must always know everything about you."

Only an idiot believed what he said, Cheng Zhen secretly rolled his eyes.

"What did you hear?"

"It's nothing." Renner shrugged. "It's just that you keep shouting something that you can't hear clearly, wait a minute, or something. Did you dream about being dumped by someone?"

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Cheng Zhen ignored the gossiping Reina and just said perfunctorily. "Just a nightmare about fighting, nothing special."

When he said this, he was actually a little guilty.

In the beginning, it was indeed just a dream about fighting, but when the mysterious black figure appeared later, even Cheng Zhen couldn't tell what kind of dream it was.

The loneliness in the dream, the panic feeling of being left behind is still fresh in my memory.

For some reason, Cheng Zhen subconsciously connected that black figure with a certain emperor.Then, more depressed.

How could he have such a dream?

"Oh, it's quite normal to have nightmares after a fierce battle." Reina looked like a serious healer, analyzing seriously.

Cheng Zhen looked at him, and suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the third time he had entered the treatment room recently, and each time was at a critical moment of the battle.

Thinking of this, he said anxiously. "Reina, what's the situation now? What about the human army and the shadows? And finally, who put me..."

"Okay! Calm down, calm down." Reina patted the boy's shoulder reassuringly. "You just used too much energy, it's better not to get too excited. As for the people you asked, I can only tell you that they are in good condition. Most of them are much healthier than you are now!"

Cheng Zhen was discouraged.He wondered if his recent self was too sick and weak?He went into the treatment room every two days and was always mentally overused.Is this still the physique of a qualified driver? !

Reina seemed to guess what he was thinking, and comforted him. "Don't worry, your body is fine, even stronger than before. The injuries from the previous battles healed quickly. The reason for this situation is that you have made too many breakthroughs recently, and your mental power has continued to expand, causing too much pressure. .To put it simply, it’s like a bottle is suddenly filled with water that doesn’t fit its capacity, and it will overflow. What you need to do now is to expand your thinking and create a new bottle with a larger capacity.”

Cheng Zhen listened to what he said and said for a while. "It means that my mental power has a breakthrough compared to before?"

Renner glared. "Just kidding, what's called a breakthrough, it's a breakthrough like a leap! It's like going from an ordinary rich person to a billionaire all of a sudden, no, the richest man in the universe!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

"You have to trust me." Reina held Cheng Zhen's shoulder tightly and said seriously. "Now there are no more than five people in the entire interstellar world who are at or above your level of spiritual power. And the other few people are all emperor-level."

The black eyes shrank, and Cheng Zhen swallowed in disbelief. "You mean, I am now the same as the Emperor?"

"Almost." Reina compared a very small distance with his hand. "It's just a little bit worse."

The treatment room was silent for a long time before Cheng Zhen's emotional voice came. "Such a small distance, I am afraid it will not be easy to reach."

Rainer responded. "It's hard to say. Some people can't make up for this gap even after a lifetime of distance. However, I believe you can!" After thinking about it, he said again. "Master Rhine must think so too."

Perhaps because of that dream, Cheng Zhen always has a strange feeling when he hears Rhine's name.

In order to force himself to ignore this weirdness, he dragged Reina to talk about other topics.The two chatted for a long time, and Cheng Zhen finally asked about the situation of the others after the battle.

The Shadow Squad and the Human Army suffered the most damage.

There are less than ten of the 33 Shadowmen left, more than half of the human army was damaged, and only one-third of the troops survived.The interstellar armies on other fronts also suffered considerable losses.

Paying such a high price only resulted in the temporary withdrawal of the enemy's troops.I don't know when the next battle will come, and the haze of war hangs over everyone's head.

Cheng Zhen was silent, remembering Randall's worries before he attacked.It's just that I don't know what kind of expression the shadow captain will have when he learns of the sacrifices of his subordinates.

The atmosphere seemed a little gloomy, Cheng Zhen sighed, thinking he'd better lie down for a while.

Reina patted the head of the black-haired boy, ready to leave with interest.

"That's right!" Before leaving, the captain of the treatment team suddenly turned around and said. "You asked who brought you back just now. It was Mr. Rhine, who drove you here while holding on to you who was half awake, thank you very much!"

This was intentional. When he was about to forget the dream, he mentioned Rhine's name again.

Cheng Zhen glared at Reina angrily, and the bad captain snickered and walked away.

Cheng Zhen, who was alone, lay on the bed looking at the ceiling for a long time, and murmured.

"How could you have such a dream?"

In fact, subconsciously, he understood.Maybe it's because of the reassuring warmth, after getting it, I'm more afraid of losing it.

As Reina said, Cheng Zhen's body is now as strong as a cow, and the wounds on his body healed in less than two days.However, in order to relieve the mental exhaustion, Cheng Zhen stayed in the treatment room for another three days.

When he finally got permission to leave, he only felt his bones itch all over his body.

Lying in bed for five days in a row, unable to move, made Cheng Zhen, who had adapted to the fighting rhythm, feel uncomfortable all over.Bones are falling apart!

After getting the permission to leave the hospital, he rushed to the training room like an eagle released into the forest.

You must move around to relieve the laziness in your body!

Not surprisingly, Cheng Zhen met VIP Chang, Ya Sai in the training room.The acting captain of the shadow was as sharp as ever, beating those who dared to challenge him until their noses and faces were bruised.It's just that the shadow members who usually follow him are much less now.

Cheng Zhen found that the shadow members who always liked to joke with him were gone.Heartbroken, he walked towards Yasai.

It wasn't until Cheng Zhen got closer that he realized that the one who was crushed by Yasai and howling was not the true captain of the Shadow, Randall?

Noticing the black-haired boy approaching, Yasai let go, smiled and said to the captain lying on the ground.

"Sure enough, you haven't moved your muscles and bones for several months. Captain, you have regressed. Your skills are not as flexible as before."

"Fuck!" Randall struggled to get up. "You know this, but you still don't show mercy at all!"

It was the first time Cheng Zhen saw him with a bruised nose and swollen face, so he couldn't help but take a few glances.

"What are you looking at!" Randall glared back at him. "When you were beaten beyond recognition by Yasai, I haven't laughed at you yet!"

Well, what Cheng really wanted to express was concern, not ridicule.But looking at Captain Shadow, whoever mentions this matter again, I will give him a good look, he still chooses to swallow the words back to his stomach.

There is no way, the sleeper has just woken up, so he always has to be more tolerant.The black-haired boy said in relief.

"Don't pay attention to him." Yasai dismissed. "He's just so self-aware that everyone cares about his humble self-esteem."

"You boy! What are you talking about, don't think that you can rebel after being the acting captain for a few days." Randall said angrily.

Yasai completely ignored his noisy protest and stared at Cheng Zhen. "Is your body fully recovered?"

"En." The black-haired boy nodded. "It can't be better than good, I'm afraid that if you go for a while, your muscles and bones will be loose."

Yasai smiled, looking very understanding. "Then practice more. I happen to be free these few days, so you can come to me to practice. By the way, since you have left the treatment room, I have something to tell you."

Cheng Zhen raised his eyes slightly, showing a questioning expression.

Yasay is slightly taller than him.At this time, when he saw the young man with black hair and black eyes, he raised his head slightly, opened his eyes wide to see his appearance, and felt an indescribable tickling feeling in his heart.

No wonder Master Rhine always likes to talk to Cheng Zhen condescendingly, it turns out that's the case.It's not bad to enjoy the feeling of being given the wholehearted attention of the brunette.

The acting captain of the shadow, at this moment, finally discovered the truth.

"Ahem." Noticing that he was distracted, Yasai quickly returned to God.

"After discussing with several other emperor-level lords, Lord Rhine decided that before the enemy attacks again, we will take the lead in fighting back."

Take the initiative?Cheng Zhen nodded and agreed.

"And Sean and the group of silicon-based life seem to be retreating to a remote star field. If we want to pursue them, we must follow them closely." Yasai said here with a serious expression.

"The other party went to an ancient star field that no one has ever explored. We have no information at all. But a month ago, you lurked beside Sean and the others, and carried out a mission to explore a certain star field. Although it was only them It’s a pretense, but there may not be no real information in it. Master Rhine believes that this ancient star field is related to you humans.”

Cheng Zhen was shocked.

"Interstellar has decided to pursue the enemy. Cheng Zhen, do you have any opinion on the ancient star field we are going to?"
