Double O swap life!

Shaffley read the content of his reply before putting down the terminal.

Several hours had passed since the statement and inquiry. At that time, Chen Nian hadn't woken up. He was immersed in madness and pain, and he didn't even care about reading the news.

I hope that his belated reply did not delay the matter of the statement.

Chen Nian's identity cannot be concealed. It is only a matter of time before Baita finds him. From the very beginning, they speculate that Chen Nian may have the same talent as Chen Ci. Maybe Baita will bring Chen Nian there for blood extraction.

There is an Ashes leak in Sanshui, and more vaccines are definitely needed to avoid possible infection.

So Shaffley added: "If the situation requires it, I'll tell Ashes to Chen Nian. It's better than him getting the news from others, and it will be more difficult for him to accept it."

There is no reply to the statement for the time being, and Sanshui is at night at this time, maybe he is resting.

Shaffley checked the secret program on the terminal. The program was written by him himself. It is related to the chip implanted on Chen Chen's shoulder, and can obtain relevant data of Chen Chen's body to ensure that the other party can be rescued when he is in danger.

Sure enough, Shafele saw that the data suddenly peaked yesterday, exceeding the safety range he had set before in an instant, and the timing happened to be the moment when Chen Nian was injured.

The magical telepathy between the two twins affected Chen Yi, who was three years old, and even passed out due to severe pain.

For Chen Ci, the place where Chen Nian was injured was exactly where his heart was.

However, at that time, he was in a hurry to carry Chen Nian ashore, and he didn't even care to pay attention to the warning issued by the terminal.

A strong sense of guilt surged into Shaffley's heart again. Not only did he fail to protect Chen Nian, but he also caused Chen Ci to suffer.

In the few hours since then, the data of the statement has remained at a high level, and for a moment it reached an unprecedented peak, with various indicators almost exceeding the limits of the human body.

Fortunately, the data gradually stabilized and remained at normal levels.

What happened to the statement at that moment?Was it when he killed Donald?

Shaffley is not clear for the time being, but fortunately the situation of the statement turned out to be safe, otherwise he would definitely feel guilty for his negligence for the rest of his life.

Shaffley sat on the accompanying chair beside the bed, tightly holding Chen Nian's hand, and the situation finally calmed down, and only then did he feel exhaustion that could not be ignored.

Alpha has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and his mental and emotional consumption is even greater.

There will definitely be various situations that will happen overwhelmingly. He needs to recuperate a little bit. Chen Nian's identity will be exposed soon. Facing the White Tower, he is the only support for the young man.

Shaffley closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair and fell asleep almost as soon as his body relaxed.

Chen Nian woke up from the pain.

Perhaps the effect of the painkiller injection has almost faded, and the pain in the chest rushes into the brain with every breath.

He woke up grinning, turned his head in pain, and saw Shaffley sleeping beside the bed.

Alpha was still sitting in the escort chair, with his arms resting on the side of the bed, and his platinum head resting on it.

Shafelai wanted to hold Chen Nian's hand, but was afraid that he would feel cold, so he only squeezed a small piece of fingertip exposed outside the quilt, as if he was afraid that Chen Nian would disappear by his side if he let go.

Shaffley is quite tall, and he maintains a prone position, which makes him uncomfortable just looking at it.

Chen Nian knew that Shaffley must have been suffering for a long time, so he didn't want to wake him up. He silently endured the pain. Fortunately, it wasn't the kind that he couldn't bear.

Now that he is alone, calm down, he can finally think more.

In the game, the little alien has blue eyes on his belly, and in the sea, he is surrounded by blue eyes of fish, and even sees the same logo on the head of the attacking monster.

Then there is the dream.

Compared with the reality, the monster seemed to be milder. There were no longer terrifying metal thorns covering the mechanical parts, and the eyes on the head were also golden.

Obviously, at that time it was taking care of itself and the statement.

But in the end, as if being attacked, it was stained with crystal blue.

Chen Nian always felt that the scene in his dream was the memory of his fetal period, otherwise, how could he have dreamed of such a scene for no reason?

If it is true, it means that the monster's position has actually undergone a huge change, from taking care of him to finding ways to kill him.

As for the reason, it is probably related to the discolored eyes, and the military has successfully captured the monster, maybe they can get more clues from it.

Chen Nian took a deep breath, and then let it out long. He controlled the whole process at a very slow speed, because if it was faster, his wound would hurt even more.

Chen Nian seldom got sick since he was a child. Although Uncle Jiang was in poor health, he took extra care of him. At most, he was in a place where Uncle Jiang couldn't see.

So this kind of pain was the first time for Chen Nian.

The call bell is at hand, just press it, and medical staff will come to help him relieve the situation, but it will definitely wake up Tsavorite who is sleeping soundly.

Chen Nian didn't know how long Alpha had slept, but it must have been a long time since he had a good rest. Chen Nian felt sorry for Shaffley and wanted him to sleep a little longer.

Lying dryly without being able to move was really boring.

Chen Nian even fell asleep again amidst the pain.

When he woke up again, Chen Nian was extremely hungry.

The chest pain has subsided a lot, it seems that someone has come to give him a painkiller injection.

Chen Nian looked aside, Shaffley, who was sleeping beside his hand, was standing by the window, lowering his voice, communicating with someone.

Chen Nian didn't make a sound to disturb, he listened quietly for a while, and recognized that the person on the other end of the communication should be the emperor, and they were talking about "blocking and dealing with it".

Is it dealing with the sea area where he was attacked, or somewhere else?

Shaffley's voice sounded very serious, it must be a troublesome matter, it seems that he also mentioned the statement?

Shafele hummed a few times for the last time and hung up the phone. He turned around and was a little surprised to find that Chen Nian had woken up.

Alpha quickly came to the bed, bent down and asked in a low voice: "Want to drink water? Are you a little hungry?"

Chen Nian nodded and said honestly, "I'm hungry."

Shaffley immediately took out the pre-prepared food from the warming cabinet on the side. The meat porridge cooked by the imperial chef was most suitable for Chen Nian's current situation. It was nutritious and easy to digest.

Shaffley picked up the spoon, sat on the edge of the bed, and put a veil on Chen Nian's chest to prevent the hospital gown from being soiled.

For a moment, Chen Nian felt that he was back in his childhood and was fed with a bib.

Shaffley scooped up a spoonful of fresh meat porridge, brought it to his lips and touched it lightly, making sure the temperature was just right, before sending it to Chen Nian's mouth.

Chen Nian opened his mouth to hold it, and the moment the meat porridge touched his lips and teeth, the aroma spread, the most primitive taste of rice and meat, with a touch of sorrel and cinnamon, but not greasy, smooth and tender over the tongue.

Even ordinary food is delicious when you are hungry, let alone a nutritious meal carefully prepared by the imperial chef.

Chen Nian swallowed the porridge with tears in his eyes, he couldn't wait to open his mouth again without even bothering to ask.

After being fed more than a dozen spoonfuls, the warm porridge eased the hunger in his stomach, so Chen Nian asked contentedly, "Did you call His Majesty just now?"

"Yes." Shaffley brought the spoon to his lips, "Open your mouth."

Chen Nian: "I heard you talking about the statement and the blockade, what happened to my brother?"

Shaffley: "He killed Donald. We need to help him seal the scene. After all, Donald is also a well-known person here in Chensha. If the news leaks out, it will be a bit troublesome."

Chen Nian snorted, took another sip of porridge, and asked, "Is it really just like this?"

Shaffley was silent, and just this moment of hesitation made Chen Nian sure that he had something to hide from himself.

He fixedly stared at Shaffley, his amber eyes reflected the depression between Alpha's brows.

"Chen Nian." After a long time, Shaffley finally said softly, "If there is one thing that requires you to make some sacrifices, but it can save tens of millions of lives, are you willing to do it?"

Chen Nian did not answer directly: "What kind of sacrifice?"

Shaffery: "Suffering some pain regularly every month, being protected in the safest place, but losing freedom."

Chen Nian realized in an instant: "Are you talking about my brother? No, you are asking me, which means that my brother and I are actually the same?"

"So his monthly physical examination is not just a simple examination, right? After he came back to the villa that day, his face was very bad. What did he do?"

"We need the blood of the statement." Shafele took a deep breath, finally made up his mind at this moment, and confessed to Chen Nian, even though he had not received a reply to the statement.

But Shafele felt that the situation had reached the point where everyone needed to face it together. Now that Chen Nian had just escaped from danger, he had the right to know the whole truth.

Shaffley: "Do you know Ashes?"

"what?"

"You may be more familiar with its other name, dust disease."

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, but he knew this.

Dust disease was an epidemic that suddenly appeared about fifteen or sixteen years ago. The infected person would be parasitized by purple crystals. They first entered the body, attached to the internal organs and slowly grew, and then broke through the human body from the inside out until the host's body was destroyed. Vacuum the whole thing.

Dust disease raged for nearly three years, claiming millions of lives.

Fortunately, the vaccine was successfully developed later, and all humans were vaccinated as quickly as possible, and the epidemic was effectively controlled. As time passed, it gradually faded out of the public's view.

When the vaccine was developed, Chen Nian was still young, maybe only six or seven years old. Basically, his generation didn't have much impression of the epidemic.

Vaccines are required every month, the blood of the statement.

Chen Nian's eyes widened suddenly. If he hadn't been injured, he would definitely jump up: "You used my brother's blood to make a vaccine!"

Shaffley nodded: "Yes, Chen Ci has saved tens of millions of human beings in the past 12 years. He is the hero of all human beings."

Chen Nian was so shocked that even though he had already guessed that Baita had been grounding his statement because he wanted to use him for biochemical experiments, but when the truth was so naked in front of him, it was still difficult to accept for a while.

No wonder Chen Ci has been living in the White Tower since he was a child, no wonder he wants to establish a marriage contract with Shaffley, no wonder he needs to have a medical examination every month, no wonder he yearns for freedom so much.

After the two brothers recognize each other, they must set aside a week for each exchange to restore their original identities, because Chen Ci needs to draw blood regularly and make vaccines.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Ci didn't mention a word to him, even if he took the initiative to ask him several times, his brother always told him in the most calm and normal manner that it was just an unimportant matter.

It turned out that he had been protected by everyone in the safest place.

Chen Nian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

He thought that everyone was a comrade in arms on the same front and needed to share all the information, but he was kept in the dark all the time, and he should feel angry.

But Chen Nian could think of the reason why Shafele and Chen Ci chose to hide it, it was out of protection for him, and also out of some kind of guilt.

They felt ashamed because they lived in the dungeon and grew up in such a chaotic environment, so they wanted to protect him better and not face too much cruelty.

Chen Nian couldn't do anything to get angry at the statement, especially when he thought that it was his elder brother who had been locked up in the White Tower and sacrificed his freedom for such a arduous responsibility all this time, so he couldn't help but feel his nose sore.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I'm not as vulnerable as you think."

"This is the idea of ​​the statement." Shaffley said softly, "Do you still remember the purple glow you saw under the table in the Marshal's former residence? In fact, the test results have come out a long time ago, it is the metabolite of Ashes, only the infection Only those who have passed it will be able to see it.”

Chen Nian gasped for a moment, his chest was in pain, but he couldn't care less: "Then you touched it with your hands! Didn't you—"

Shaffley shook his head: "It's okay, I have been vaccinated, and the vaccine's barrier effect is very good."

"So, it is precisely because I have the same talent as Chen Ci that I can see that purple color."

Chen Nian had mixed feelings in his heart: "Father must know this, so he used Ashes as a mark, hoping that one day in the future, our two brothers can discover what he hides."

Shaffley hummed: "It should be like this."

It took Chen Nian a few minutes to digest. In fact, he had expected it a long time ago, and it was not unacceptable to face the truth, but...it was a bit heavier than he expected.

Use your own sacrifices in exchange for more lives.

It is a very typical trolley problem. Most people will definitely choose to sacrifice that one person without hesitation. After all, compared with tens of millions of people, no matter how outstanding their achievements are, they cannot compare with more lives.

It's just that when the person to be sacrificed became his relatives, or even himself, Chen Nian couldn't think with absolute rationality.

Well, well the sacrifices they need to make are just some blood on a regular basis, and freedom.

Chen Nian took a deep breath, and said to Shaffley: "Tell me more about Ashes in detail, I know too little, and I didn't know anything about it before."

Shavory cuts out all the nonsense and starts briefly with the most important:

"It is a parasite-like ore crystal. No one knows where Ashes came from. It appeared in the third year after the moonlight collapsed. After tracing the source, we found that Ashes first appeared from the sea near the moonlight. Bring the nearest Sanshui, and then spread quickly."

"The death rate of Ashes infection is [-]%. Ashes will attach to the internal organs in the early stage, absorb the nutrients of the human body, and start growing from the inside until it pierces the body and seeks a wider spread."

"Chen Ci and I were born shortly after Moonlight collapsed, and Ashes spread three years after we were born, and the blood of Chen Ci and I can act as a vaccine."

Chen Nian paused. In fact, as long as he sorted out the time, the situation became very clear: "The existence of the vaccine should be later than the epidemic, which means that Ashes actually existed long ago, but it has been blocked inside the moonlight... ...Do you think it is possible that the moonlight collapse has something to do with it?"

Shaffley nodded: "I've been thinking about this question too. In addition, after the collapse, Moonlight has actually kept in touch with external beacons. The last message it sent was nine years ago."

Chen Nian: "What's the specific content?"

Shaffley: "Those are top-secret documents, I guess only the beacon itself knows."

All the clues point to Moonlight.

"So, if we want to know more, we can only go there in person. It seems that my brother's goal at the beginning is the most correct."

Chen Nian sighed: "It's a pity that I'm injured now, otherwise we can set off immediately, and we can meet up with my brother in Sanshui and go there together."

"Heal your injuries well, don't think so much, the most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Shaffley reassured: "We can deal with other things first during this time. My father said that the monster has been transferred to a deep prison. The research and investigation on it will start immediately. I'd better go there too and see It depends."

"Then go quickly." Chen Nian urged, "See if we can get as many clues as possible."

Shaffley: "I'm worried about you being here by yourself."

Chen Nian: "Just ask more people to guard it. It's impossible for all of you to be infiltrated. You want my life?"

Under Chen Nian's persuasion, Shafele still decided to go. He moved faster, and it shouldn't take too long.

Shaffley called a royal guard of more than 20 people to guard inside and outside the ward, and even the windows were tightly locked to ensure that no mosquito could come in.

At the same time, he connected the intelligent control system of the ward to his own terminal to ensure that he could see Chen Nian's situation at any time.

After confirming that it was correct, Shaffley leaned over and kissed Chen Nian's forehead before leaving quickly.

The monsters were imprisoned in the deep prison, which was located in the simulated soil layer on the top floor, managed jointly by the military department and the research institute, and used to complete some secret research that required special approval.

When Shafele arrived, soldiers and researchers with live ammunition were waiting in the corridor, and when they saw the eldest prince coming, they saluted him respectfully.

"How's the situation?" Shaffley took the body armor from the officer, put it on, took a submachine gun, and armed himself.

"Strong sedatives have been injected, and the struggle is no longer so violent, but there are still certain dangers."

The lead researcher said: "Your Highness, do you have to go and see it now? We just captured it, and it's not the best time to observe it yet."

"I want to know the general situation. After all, it attacked my concubine." Shafele said lightly, "It's just a simple glance, it shouldn't be too dangerous."

The researcher nodded and agreed: "Okay, Your Highness, please follow me."

Shaffley followed the researcher, leading another team of well-trained soldiers.

They passed through several heavy gates, and after being disinfected and tested, they finally arrived at the place where the monster was held.

Just by looking at it, Shaffley was sure that this cell had been specially prepared long ago.

A 5x5 square pool was dug in the center of the cell, and a transparent protective cover made of special materials formed a solid cage.

The monster was face down, floating half-dead on the surface of the water, and it was stunned by powerful tranquilizers.

This was the first time that Shaffley saw the monster that appeared in Jiang Dai's description so clearly. When Chen Nian was attacked, he actually couldn't see it very clearly.

Its body was gray-black, as if it was covered with embers of burnt protein, but overall it was relatively smooth, with a small amount of scales covering both sides of its back, and the shape of the bones on its shoulders was also different from that of a human body.

The two heads do not originate from the same starting point, but are distributed side by side on the left and right shoulders. Its arms are more like wrists and feet, bent due to the lack of bones, with dense metal spikes, and below the waist because it is submerged in the water. , cannot be accurately observed for the time being.

The monster floated face down, and the blue eyes on its head couldn't be seen clearly from Tsavorite's angle.

Along with the anger, there is also some kind of unspeakable fear, which is the instinctive reaction of human beings to unknown creatures. Shaffley clenches the gun in his hand, and treats all possible situations cautiously.

In the monitoring room separated by a wall, many researchers are watching the monster's movements through the instruments.

The sedative they injected into the monster was enough to stun a blue whale, but just in case, it's better to be careful.

Shaffley took two steps forward, wanting to see if there were still blue eyes on its head.

If the scene Chen Nian dreamed of when he was in a coma is his real memory, the color of his eyes may have another mystery.

Shaffley gradually approached the transparent protective layer.

At the moment when he stopped and wanted to take a closer look, the monster lying silently in the water suddenly raised its head and rushed towards Shaffley!

Apparently this was the fierce blow it had accumulated with all its strength. The protective cover made an overwhelmed sound under the violent impact, and turned into a translucent dark color due to the energy overload. broken!

"Your Highness!"

Amidst the shouts of panic, Shaffley took a step back, and at the same time raised the submachine gun in his hand, the mental strength that had been prepared for a long time suddenly condensed——

Everything in front of him seemed to be slowed down, the cold metal thorns, the bluish vertical eyes on the head, the split mouth on the neck and the greedy tongues were all clearly reflected in the violet eyes. middle.

Raise your gun and shoot.

boom--!

The monster's trajectory was calculated by Alpha in an instant, and the first bullet hit the center of its head.

That blue eye is actually not an organ that living things have, but a pattern made of lines, some kind of liquid is flowing in the lines, with crystal clear light spots, making it appear blue.

After Shaffley, countless bullets poured on the monster, its momentum was blocked almost instantly, blue blood splashed out frantically, the monster's head and chest were beaten to pieces, and it fell to the ground screaming , writhing in pain.

The blue blood quickly spread into a large pool. After more than a minute, the howling of the monster became smaller and smaller, and finally fell powerlessly on the ground, motionless.

Someone was holding a gun and trying to step forward to check the situation, Shaffley immediately raised his hand to tell him not to approach.

Although they are in different places, what is happening in front of them is too familiar.

The moment he raised his hand, the monster's back split open suddenly, and a elongated eel-shaped blue creature jumped out of its spine, heading straight for the front of Shaffley!

"Protect Your Highness!"

Shaffley, who had been prepared for a long time, took a step back. Just when the tense people were about to fight back, an oval cover fell from the sky, instantly pinning the alien in midair to the ground!

The soldier who reacted the fastest had already finished shooting, and the bullet originally aimed at the strange shape hit the cover with a "snap", and was directly bounced to the side without even a thin crack appearing.

This is--? !

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and from their tense and shocked reactions, it could be seen that no one had expected this to happen before.

Whether it is the alien that drilled out of the monster's back, or the containment cabin that suddenly captured it at a critical moment.

All unplanned accidents.

This series of events happened in just a dozen seconds. As a person who faced everything directly, Shaffley stared closely at the alien who was constantly jumping and struggling in the containment cabin, trying to get out of trouble.

The slender eel-like body was completely blue, and it came out from behind the monster's corpse, with a clear goal, heading straight for his face.

Shaffley knew that if they failed to block it successfully, the thing would pass through his mouth and enter his body.

That was the accident that Chen Nian encountered in Afanasy's base a few days ago.

The game was once again reflected in reality, but instead of appearing beside Chen Ci as they imagined, it fell on his head.

If Chen Nian hadn't touched the fetus in the game and was attacked by aliens, what would be the current situation?Unprepared, he might be drilled into the mouth by a monster.

One thing is for sure, the aliens in reality will not simply stay quietly in the belly of the character and draw pictures on the belly like in the game.

Shaffley took a deep breath, and the researcher beside him reacted, trembling all over, hurriedly asked: "His Highness, Your Highness! How are you?!"

"I am fine."

Shaffley raised his head, and the high ceiling of this specially made prison cell obviously hides a lot of organs.

He handed over the submachine gun in his hand to the soldier, took out a wet tissue from his pocket, and wiped off the remaining traces of gunpowder on his fingers.

Shaffley knew that at this very moment, countless pairs of eyes were watching everything that happened in this deep prison.

Those running cameras, flashing red light, are the ubiquitous eyes of Cinnabar.
