Kang Hui nodded. "How about this, I'll stay here. Your Majesty, you take the information back with you and share it with our people.
I'll wait for Commander Lan Jue to return and the plan to return. "
The Terminator nodded. "Very well.
Then I'll go.
Admiral Lan Qing, I may not know much about military matters, but I have to say I'm impressed.
You're worthy of the title An Lun Supersoldier. "
"You're too kind, Your Majesty," Lan Qing said.
Only a plan that could achieve victory was truly a good plan.
It's too early to say that. "
Huali turned to Mo Xiao. "You go back as well. I'll wait for Lan Jue to come back. I'll go when I get the latest plan."
"You go back," Mo Xiao said. "I'll be more …"
Huali cut her off impatiently. "You think you're better than me at this?
Don't forget how much I've learned since I was a kid.
Go back. "
Mo Xiao wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words. She took the information and left.
Lan Qing watched Mo Xiao leave. "Is there a problem with her emotions?"
Huali shook her head. "She's fine, that's just how she is.
Everything revolves around the family's interests.
Don't be mad at her, boss. "
"No," Lan Qing said.
"She didn't do anything wrong."
"When will Ah Jue and the others return?" Huali asked.
"Another day or so," Lan Qing said.
"We're very close to the eight planets of the Western Alliance."
Hua Li smirked. "Who knows, maybe after this we'll all become heroes of humanity."
"Heroes aren't important," Lan Qing said.
"What matters is the survival of our race."
The others left to get some rest. Lan Qing brought Hua Li to the bastion's control room.
"Ali, I think there's something wrong with Mo Xiao's feelings for you.
The war was about to begin, and this could affect the entire war.
You need to get back as soon as possible. "Lan Qing's voice was low as he looked at Hua Li.
Huali said, "She only did it because of some personal reasons with me, but she is a person who separates public and private interests.
So there shouldn't be any problems.
I'll wait for Ah Jue to return, then I'll leave as soon as I receive the news.
Boss, you also need to take care of your health. I was stunned when I heard you talk about the entire battle plan. Did you complete all of this by yourself? "
Lan Qing said, "There's no room for error in this battle, and there's no possibility of luck.
We won't know the result, but I will do my best. "
Huali sighed. "You're really tired of living."
"I'm used to it," Lan Qing said.
"Boss," Huali said, "if we win, what do you plan to do in the future?
Continue to be a military leader?
I get the feeling you've never lived for yourself. "
"Me?" Lan Qing stared blankly. "I don't know either.
Maybe I just want to find a place to live out my days in peace and quiet.
I've been busy for a long time, and I need some peace and quiet. "
Huali looked at him incredulously. "Am I mistaken?
You're Lan Qing, not Lan Jue.
I thought he was the only one who'd say something like that. "
Lan Qing's voice was placid. "We're brothers, we're not that different in nature.
We just chose different paths. "
Huali laughed. "I like it when you show your true feelings. That makes you feel more real.
You're always so cool, who would dare approach you? "
Lan Qing glanced at him. "I don't need people to approach me.
Everyone has a different goal in life. "
Huali's eyes went slack, and a bitter look crossed her face. "Yeah, everyone has a different goal in life."
"Why are you acting so weird?" Lan Qing asked.
"I'm fine," Huali said.
"Why 'also'?"
Lan Qing said. "Ever since you became a Paragon you've changed."
Huali shook her head. "Not really. I'm still me, the Huali I used to be.
I don't want to be a singer after the war is over. I just want to find a place to live a normal life.
Why don't we find a place like that together?
What do you say?
Don't find a planet that's too big. Just find a medium-sized administrative planet. "
"I've always liked Skyfire Avenue, but we don't need to make it as big as Skyfire Avenue.
We'll just open a few shops on an ordinary street, one for each of us.
Call A-Cheng over when the time comes.
Our shops are next to each other.
As for A-Jue, he still had his own jewelry store, but he was restricted to selling cheap jewelry.
Ah-Cheng decided to let him open a wine and cigar shop.
That's what he likes.
Boss, what kind of shop do you want to open? "
Lan Qing paused. "I don't know."
"What do you like?" Huali asked.
Lan Qing shook his head. He couldn't think of anything he liked.
"You're so inflexible," Huali said helplessly. "Why don't you open a traditional tailor shop?
You have a great body, and you're so cool. Be a model for your shop. "
Lan Qing couldn't help but chuckle. "Am I supposed to be a tailor?"
"No matter what you do," Huali said, "as long as you set your mind to it, you'll do your best.
If you were a tailor, you'd be a golden pair of scissors. "
"What about you?" Lan Qing asked.
"What kind of shop?
Do you want to sing? "
"Fine, Boss," Huali said angrily. "So in your heart, I've always been a singer.
I'm not a singer.
I want to open a wedding dress shop.
We can even work together when the time comes.
When you get married, I'll design wedding dresses for you.
What do you think? "
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby," Lan Qing said in surprise.
Hua Li's voice was a little wistful. "I've loved wedding dresses since I was little. The pure white ones, with lace trim and all sorts of decorations.
I always felt that wedding dresses are one of the most beautiful clothes humans can wear.
Although they can't show off the beauty of the figure like the cheongsam of the Eastern Alliance.
But they're a foil to one's temperament.
I want to be a wedding dress designer.
What do you think? "
Lan Qing nodded. "If that day comes, what's wrong with that?
"But can your Neptune Group live without Neptune?"
"Last time, I told Ah Jue that Mo Xiao and I have artificially cultivated embryos, and we'll soon have our child, the next Neptune," Huali said.
"My duty is almost complete.
My father gave up everything when I was about the same age as I am now.
Our family's rules are very simple. As long as there's a successor, he can choose to leave at any time.
As for family affairs, Mo Xiao can handle them better than me.
I have a free heart, and I've never been willing to be tied down. "
"If someone else told me this," Lan Qing said, "I'm afraid I'd have to deal with him according to military law.
Do you know that you're shaking the morale of a general? "
Hua Li laughed heartily. "You wouldn't be Prometheus if your heart could be swayed so easily.
Oh, now it should be the Supreme Light Middle Heaven Divine Lord.
Shine the light on me, boss. "
"I want to relax," Lan Qing said seriously. "Let's find a place where I can shine the light on you."
"Ugh … boss, I need to pee, I'm leaving."
Watching Huali's figure disappear, Lan Qing's face softened. He shook his head.
Unconsciously, the image Huali had just described floated into his mind.
It was a small city with quaint streets and shops next to each other.
Did a suit shop really suit him?
He'd never worn anything like that before.
There were tailors on Skyfire Avenue, maybe he'd take a look if he had the chance.
Shaking his head, he turned his attention to the main screen in the control room. The softness in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by wisdom and depth.
To live in peace, the first thing one needed was peace!
Seventeen hours later, Zeus -1 quietly returned to Middle Heaven.
Lan Jue had recovered from her weakness. He didn't linger. The first thing he did was bring all the information he'd gathered to Lan Qing's command center.
Lan Qing didn't say a word. He took the information from Lan Qing and inserted it into his analysis system.
Lan Jue didn't need to say anything. Lan Qing's face grew serious.
"The Wine Master has already gone to find the Keeper. He's brought back all of the infected and infected corpses for him.
The Keeper will be able to analyze their condition.
On the planet we've been investigating, it's estimated that more than half of the population is still alive.
I thought about it on the way back, and to the Marauders, it was possible that the living were more valuable than the dead.
Because the genes of the living are the most complete.
From this point of view, it's highly likely that the aliens are evolving.
Otherwise, they could have done what they did to the four planets of the Northern Alliance. Just kill them all. "
Lan Jue went on. "Later I investigated the back of the planet. That giant vein connected to space. Other than the alien home worlds, I can't think of anything else.
This confirms our suspicions that the alien home worlds are preparing, or have already begun their evolution. "
Lan Qing's brows furrowed as he studied the screen.
After a long moment he spoke. "You've brought back both good and bad news.
The good news is that we can confirm that the alien home worlds have begun their evolution.
The bad news is the situation on the planet. "
