Interstellar Empire, Your Highness, please don’t get sick.

Yan Zhao said at the time: "I know this, sir, and I won't expect to save everyone."

He did think so at the time, but ten days later, when he participated in the first ground battle, everything changed.

With the presence of the mecha, the soldiers could resist for a while at first, but when the insect beast's claws tore the mecha apart, revealing the operating compartment inside, the soldiers' safety would instantly become precarious.

Yan Zhao was at the rear and saw with his own eyes that the soldiers on the battlefield were torn apart by insect beasts, with blood splattering on the spot.

He also saw someone being stabbed directly through by sharp insect claws in order to rescue his comrades.

When the defense line was on the verge of collapse, Yan Zhao even wanted to drag heavy weapons up to fight, but he was stopped by fellow mechanics who asked him to wake up.

While Yan Zhao regained his senses, he saw a soldier who rushed out of the tunnel with him that day. He was thrown high into the sky by the insect beast, and then fell to the ground unconscious. Before the people next to him could react, he was stepped on. die.

He originally wanted to release a smaller version of Xuanwu, but at this moment, the soldiers on the battlefield couldn't hear him at all. Even if they heard it, they couldn't move freely. When a large spirit-level mecha like Xuanwu is enlarged, it will only crush it. A bunch of people died.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and Yan Zhao heard countless screams.

This is war, a war between humans and alien creatures, so cruel that it can overturn Yan Zhao's understanding of the past twenty years.

After the day's fighting is over, the logistics personnel are responsible for collecting the bodies of their comrades on the battlefield.

Yan Zhao silently participated and reattached the severed limb.

Fellow mechanics took turns trying to persuade him, but Yan Zhao just said: "I'm fine, I just want to do more."

The setting sun was like blood. After finishing his work, Yan Zhao dragged his heavy steps back underground and closed the door of his room.

The rooms in the temporary base are like capsules, as narrow as the width of a bed, and a small area is left aside to make a table that can be stored on the wall.

Yan Zhao usually uses the small table to do some work after get off work. Now he fell down on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly.

It wasn't until the bracelet rang that he raised his hand and looked at it.

The only one who would call from such a far away place was Guan You. Because battle planets are farther away than frontier planets, communication usually consumes a lot of energy storage.

There is no way for ordinary people to do this, only Guan You can do it using the empire's special large-scale communication equipment.

After arriving here, Yan Zhao and Guan You contacted each other twice, but the frequency was not high. They were all because of the difficulties Guan You encountered during the reform, and they would discuss them together.

Although Yan Zhao was in a low mood now, he thought of what Guan You was doing and still answered the phone.

"Yan Zhao." After shouting once, Guan You didn't speak again.

Yan Zhao was stunned and asked, "Are you here to discuss changes in cabinet positions with me?"

Guan You is preparing to turn the cabinet into a parliament. The current ministers hold the power and will not allow the large number of MPs to take their share of the pie.

Before, Guan You had secretly convinced some new talents, but how to move them to higher positions in preparation for future restructuring was a difficulty.

"No." Guan You spoke very softly, "Are you okay?"

Yan Zhao honestly said: "It's not very good."

He guessed that Guan You had cronies in the Fourth Army, but he didn't care. At times like this, it's nice to have someone to talk to.

Guan You suddenly asked: "Do you want to know when was the first time I killed someone?"

Yan Zhao was startled: "I have never seen you kill anyone. Was it before you went to college?"

"When I was eight years old." Guan You said surprisingly.

"A skilled assassin sneaked into the East Palace and wanted to assassinate me. Before he could get close, he was bitten to death by my mimic beast. The palace was full of blood. I stood there and no one could persuade me to move."

Yan Zhao could not comfort him. When I was eight years old, if it were me, I would still be a little nerd. If I saw someone dying in front of me, I would probably act more frightened.

Guan You continued: "Then I killed too many people, and I lost the original feeling. Many of my guards died protecting me. When I patrolled other planets, some assassins would appear."

"Will you get used to it if you see it too much?" Yan Zhao said in a low mood.

"That's not what I mean." Guan You explained patiently, "What I want to say is that you don't have to escape this feeling. This is something you have to experience. Whether you have it or not, it's just your life experience, and you shouldn't resist it. ."

Yan Zhao's pupils suddenly widened, finally gaining some brilliance.

"Guan You, I think you are like a philosopher." He said firmly.

Guan You was helpless by this evaluation: "Well, just think of me as a philosopher. Let's talk about the antidote you developed..."

Yan Zhao leaned on the bed and slowly chatted with Guan You.

On nights like this, on the desolate and dangerous front line, there was someone to talk to from time to time to relieve his emotions. Yan Zhao suddenly felt that he was really lucky, luckier than everyone else in the base.

After the initial bad mood passed, Yan Zhao began to think about ways to eliminate all insect beasts.

The reason why insect beasts keep coming, killing one group and another is because the Queen of Insects has such a strong reproductive ability. Therefore, the solution once and for all should be to deal with the Insect Queen and destroy their lair.

When Yan Zhao asked the chief mechanic about this idea, the other party shook his head and said: "It is not easy to destroy the Queen. She is definitely not on this planet, maybe on a planet in other galaxies. The insect beasts are very cautious, as long as it is Those who follow the meteorite to land and fight will not return to their original planet."

Yan Zhao said: "Then use astronomical methods to track the traces of every meteorite."

The machine let out a long sigh and said, "How difficult it is. The empire's experts have been analyzing it for so many years, but they still haven't gotten any results."

This is because the movement of meteorites usually has no fixed rules, and there are many transfer stations for the activities of insect beasts. By the time they arrive in front of the galaxy army, they may have forgotten the direction they came from.

Yan Zhao thought about walking to the underground laboratory.

After several wars, the soldiers have always protected the research equipment very well, and new insect beasts are being tied here for experiments.
