As a male insect, I am cooking food live

"Do you want to continue?" Ken turned and looked at Tabor.

Taber's gaze rested on Shen Hui.

The uniform was already stained with blood and stains, and Shen Hui lowered his head and held the remains of the team member. In Shen Hui's right hand, there was a pistol that fell alone on the dry ground.

Shen Hui lowered his head to hide his emotions.

Taber saw drops of water dripping from Shen Hui's chin.

"He attributed Liu Yan's death to himself." Taber walked up to Shen Hui and looked down at him.

"Maybe." Seeing that Taber's expression hadn't changed at all, Ken shrugged.

Taber squatted down and looked at Shen Hui straight in the eye.

This is the truth that Shen shows himself.

Unlike chatting on StarNet, setting a small goal is to be talkative and active.

Unlike Al Nut, who had reached a cooperation with him in the lower stars, Al Nut was rational and false.

Unlike Hui Shen, who he had been with day and night in the Breakthrough Army, Hui Shen was reliable and indestructible.

But now, the one standing in front of him was Shen, who was riddled with wounds.

Sadness, cowardice, escape.

These gray backgrounds create a more realistic Shen.

Taber knew that Shen always insisted on something strange. He seemed to always want to show a perfect self to the outside world.

Shen unilaterally believed that what attracted him was his "perfect self."

But the fact is just the opposite.

Across the torrent of time, Taber gently stroked the water drops on Shen Hui's forehead.

These dark backgrounds constitute the real Shen Hui.

Taber was attracted by the real Shen Hui.

Just as Shen Hui was moved by Taber's experience, so was Taber.

The more you explore, the more you want to understand.

I want to know everything about Shen and find out the root cause of his pain.

Just like Shen helped himself, I can help him as well. This was the only thought in Taber's mind.

"This alone is not enough to destroy Shen." From this angle, Taber could see the whorls in Shen Hui's hair.

Taber reached out and gently touched Shen Hui's head.

"Yeah, you know him pretty well." Ken replied, "So, do you want to continue?"

"Go on." Taber replied.

------

Death and separation. Taber watched Shen Hui send off each of his teammates.

Watching Shen Hui go from sadness to numbness.

From beginning to end, Shen Hui did not choose to express his inner emotions to his teammates.

Taber understood that this meant Shen had no outlet for his emotions.

He saw with his own eyes the smile on Shen's face gradually disappear, and he became the true Captain Shen.

The noises around him had disappeared without a trace. In the end, the once bustling conference room was completely empty.

Only Shen Hui and Chen Buguo were left.

Chen was no longer smiling playfully. He carefully wiped the pistol that Fang Jianyi had used.

The pistol was in perfect condition, without any wear or tear. But Chen's heart might have been riddled with holes.

After a long while, Chen was unable to speak.

"Captain, let me go alone on this rescue mission."

The Shen Hui in front of him was as calm as before. He was the Captain Shen who could convince people.

But Taber knew that Shen Hui in front of him was just a spent force. In front of the only surviving team member, Shen Hui would not show any weakness.

He once showed signs of fatigue, and the team members took the initiative to come forward to share his worries.

The fatigue of carrying out the mission day and night eroded Shen Hui's brain. However, the mission of rescuing the ant nest was urgent, so Liu Yan took the initiative to propose to go with him.

Obviously, Liu Yan stayed in the ant hole forever.

With a strong sense of guilt and Liu Yan's sense of responsibility, Shen Hui continued to carry out his mission without stopping for a moment.

Lin Jinwen noticed Shen Hui's mental state and followed Shen Hui to escort the crowd and clean up the captain's plan.

But plans cannot keep up with changes, and the insect tide is beyond expectations. Lin Jinwen self-immolates and perishes together with the leader of the insect tide.

The team member died once again, in the same tragic way, and the public's criticism made Shen Hui's already troubled heart even more shattered.

But on the surface, Shen Hui still looked normal.

Wen Yan, the most thoughtful member of the team, sees through the captain's persistence and stubbornness.

His rescue was almost self-destructive, just to save more people and atone for the deceased team members.

Therefore, Wen Yan, who was inseparable from Jiang Yuexin, left her, and as a result, Jiang Yuexin died from the parasitism of the iron wire worm.

There is an even more dramatic situation. Fang Jianyi did not die from the insect tide, but died at the hands of humans.

【It's all because of me. 】

Taber heard Shen Hui's truest thoughts.

[I'm not strong enough, not cautious enough. I'm the captain, I should protect the team members from the wind and rain, instead of showing a tired look and making them worry.]

[Only the perfect and powerful Captain Shen can protect his team members. ]

[I can't make the slightest mistake and can't show my vulnerable side.]

[I can do it alone. I have always been like this.]

Taber lowered his eyes, his hair obscuring his face, and no one could see his expression clearly.

Shen Hui looked through the details of this mission and replied without even looking up:

"No."

Chen, however, was not as impatient as usual. He asked, "Captain, can I do it alone?"

Chen Guoguo spoke in a calm tone and skillfully put the gun back on his waist.

Shen Hui's eyes fell on the gun for a moment, but it was only fleeting, and he quickly looked at Chen Buguo.

Chen just met Shen Hui's gaze, which seemed to see through his soul completely.

Majestic, rational, and unquestionable. Just by looking at each other, Chen Guoguo knew that the captain already understood his physical condition.

"But you need to rest." Shen Hui sat upright, but the dark circles at the corners of his eyes were unusually obvious.

Since Fang Jianyi's death, Chen Buguo has not had a good night's sleep. The worst thing is that Chen Buguo refused psychological counseling.

Chen Guoguo began to practice shooting day and night.

Shooting is Fang Jianyi's strong point, but it used to be Chen Buguo's weak point.

Nowadays, Chen Buguo's marksmanship can be considered among the best.

"Captain, I know my physical condition well." Chen Guo put away Fang Jianyi's pistol and raised his eyes. "Compared to me, it is you, Captain, who needs rest more."

"Captain, you have exceeded the quota for the number of missions you have completed this month."

Even Chen Guoguo knew clearly that the captain needed to rest. Although the captain himself looked the same as usual.

But Chen understood clearly that everything could never go back to the past.

The insect swarms are becoming more frequent, and countless elite teams have died. The captain has more and more affairs to deal with, and the number of rescue missions to be completed is also increasing day by day.

There was no time to even catch a breath. Since some time ago, no one mentioned the dinner after each mission.

Shen Hui was still looking through the mission details.

Chen didn't understand Shen Hui's answer. He subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

"But," Shen Hui lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Buguo opposite him, "you need to rest."

Neither of them backed down.

Hold on. Taber carefully depicted Shen Hui's face, taking in every tiny expression of the other person.

Shen Hui suddenly looked in Taber's direction. Although separated by a long river of time, their eyes seemed to meet.

Taber was stunned.

"Captain?" Chen just noticed Shen Hui's daze.

Shen Hui retracted his gaze. Although there was nothing in front of him, he felt inexplicably at ease. It was as if there was something in front of him that made him feel at ease.

"I won't agree to that."

Chen just gave him a disapproving look.

"Captain, I object."

Shen Hui closed the assignment book and looked at Chen Buguo.

"I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm notifying you." Shen Hui said calmly, "But you should provide support in the rear."

Chen Guoguo stood up and wanted to slam the table in excitement. The tragic scene before Fang Jianyi's death instantly emerged in his mind, and Chen Guoguo stopped.

"They won't agree." Chen Guo said calmly.

Chen met Shen Hui's cold gaze without any intention of retreating.

"Captain, we are both equally capable." Chen Buguo said.

The situation remained at a stalemate.

Chen however put Fang Jianyi's pistol on the table and pushed it in front of Shen Hui.

"Captain, your answer."

"...As you wish. But follow my orders."

After hearing this, Chen picked up the gun without hesitation and left the meeting room.

Shen Hui sat quietly in the empty conference room for a long time without saying a word.
