[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Zhou Yuze didn't want to fall asleep at first, but maybe it was because the breath around him was too reassuring, or maybe it was because the hand that brushed his forehead from time to time was so warm that it made people nostalgic, and before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, Tang Rui was no longer there, and only a wall lamp was on in the basement, emitting a dim light.

Walking up the stairs, the bright light suddenly made his eyes sore.

He paused for a while, waiting for his eyes to adapt, before continuing to walk upstairs.

The hall has been tidied up, except that there are team members standing guard at the doors and windows, and a huge electronic map is spread out on the table in the middle. Tang Rui, Feng Lang and the other two team leaders gathered together, as if they were discussing something , Yao Xue sat on the side with a tense face, not knowing who she was angry with.

"Captain!" Seeing him coming up, the team members on guard immediately gave a military salute.

"Xiao Zhou, come here." Tang Rui raised his head, smiled and waved.

"Senior, I'm sorry." Zhou Yuze smiled slightly and walked over.

"You've worked hard enough, and no one would mind if you were lazy once in a while." Tang Rui said, turning his head and asking, "Really?"

Feng Lang twitched the corners of his mouth, asking him to answer "yes" or "no" to this kind of question?I could only ignore Tang Rui, turned to the electronic map, and said seriously: "Captain, this is the defense map of the Imperial Army."

Zhou Yuze let out a "hmm", sat down, and began to study the map carefully.

Although it didn't stop them from hiding in the research institute, it was obvious that the empire didn't intend to just give up. The complete annihilation of the ground troops was a blow, but it didn't hurt their vitality. After all, the mecha team and battleships are the most terrifying forces. The situation... ... very grim.

"I have found out clearly that the commander of the empire this time is the third heir Altrins." Feng Lang reported dutifully, "Although the ground troops were destroyed, their mech squad suffered almost no losses. With battleships as the backing, compared to our serious lack of energy, we can only stop twenty mechs at most, and... there is no follow-up."

"However, how could a prince come to do such a dangerous task?" Someone asked doubtfully.

"What else can there be? Political weight is never too much. Isn't that the 'third' pick?" Feng Lang sneered, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Luya Empire has not been in good health for the past few years. gone."

"..." Zhou Yuze listened to every sentence, thinking secretly in his heart, and frowned slightly.

"Fortunately, there are still some supplies in the research institute. Otherwise, the twenty mechas would not be enough. It's a pity that there are too few military supplies here." Feng Lang sighed.

"There has been no movement in the empire?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"No." Feng Lang shook his head and said, "I just keep strengthening the line of defense, probably trying to trap us to death... But it's certain that there are spies among those researchers, otherwise they wouldn't dare to take such a method. With a protracted war, they are sure The communication equipment in the research institute is damaged, and we have no way to ask the Federation for help."

"A spy?" Zhou Yuze glanced at Yao Xue with some doubts.

Only then did Feng Lang remember that Zhou Yuze didn't know about this, so he quickly explained it.

At this point, even Yao Xue, who has always insisted, can't say anything that doesn't believe her.Of course, even she herself is one of the suspects. Currently, the five researchers are under surveillance except the unconscious Dr. Wang.

"So..." Zhou Yuze pondered for a while, then raised his head, and was about to ask Tang Rui's opinion, but he didn't see anyone, so he was taken aback.

There was a crisp "ding", followed by the strong aroma of coffee.

"Eat first." Tang Rui naturally put a cup of coffee and a plate of snacks on the table, and then sat down beside him.

"Thank you." Zhou Yuze thanked him naturally, picked up his cup and took a sip.

The mellow liquid slides into the throat, and the slightly hot touch makes people feel refreshed.

Zhou Yuze is not a person who likes to enjoy himself, but no matter who he is, after spending so long in the open air, he can drink a cup of fragrant coffee, and he will feel a sense of happiness of being alive again.

The dessert is a cookie and cream cake, which is soft and fresh, and it looks very appetizing.

Feng Lang stared at the food for a while, speechless... So where did this kind of thing come from?

"What are you looking at? The institute has always been occupied by people, and those plants can't open the refrigerator or make coffee." Tang Rui rolled his eyes.

"Lieutenant, do you want it too?" Zhou Yuze put down his cup with a puzzled expression on his face, "I remember you don't drink coffee."

"It's not that I don't drink, but you can't drink, too, Captain?" Feng Lang's face was frighteningly gloomy with the black thread on his head.Just now he was so shocked by the food that was completely incompatible with the atmosphere that he didn't have time to stop it, but didn't the captain know that coffee, a stimulant drink, can't be drunk by mecha masters at all?Or... even if the thing Tang Rui brought was poison, you would drink it without thinking!

"It's okay to drink once in a while, it's refreshing." Tang Rui replied lightly.

"Tang Rui!" Feng Lang slapped the table and stood up, with real anger in his tone, not the usual anger that came and went quickly when he was teased.

"With Su Yingtang here, what are you afraid of?" Tang Rui glanced at him and said slowly.

"..." Feng Lang opened his mouth, speechless, the nameless fire was crushed into ashes before it was fully burned, he couldn't get up or down, and his face was flushed red.

Indeed, Su Yingtang is proficient in conditioning. If he is willing, a cup of coffee is really nothing. Even if he drinks coffee as water, he may be able to turn it back. But the question is, with Su Yingtang's temper, is he willing to do such a thing?

When he was still struggling, Zhou Yuze took a sip of coffee and a snack, and cleaned up his breakfast.

"Okay, let's look at the map." Tang Rui coughed twice and clapped his hands.

Feng Lang looked at the calm Zhou Yuze again, and sat back helplessly.

"Our problem now is that we don't have enough energy, so we must solve it quickly." Tang Rui said.

"Nonsense." Feng Lang was obviously still angry.

"The difference in numbers is too great. This place is endless. There is absolutely no place to use the terrain. Frontal combat is very unfavorable." Zhou Yuze pointed out the dead point of frontal tactics in one sentence.

"So I have an idea." Tang Rui said with a smile.

"What?" Zhou Yuze looked at him.

"Our goal is to return to Capital Star, not to destroy the army in front of us. Why should we fight them?" Tang Rui asked.

"How do you go back if you don't defeat them?" Feng Lang said angrily.What I didn’t say later is that even after defeating the army of the empire, they still don’t know how to go back, okay? It’s impossible for the communication system of the empire to connect to the federal network, unless they bring parts for repairing the communicator—this chance Also too small.What's more, if you want to fight, you will be close to death.

"Board the battleship and go back." Tang Rui said.

"Where is the battleship?" Feng Lang was anxious.

"Here." Tang Rui pointed to a location on the electronic map confidently.

"This..." Feng Lang successfully choked to death again.

"Senior, what do you mean, we captured the warships of the empire and returned to the capital?" Zhou Yuze's eyes lit up.

"Not a bad idea?" Tang Rui smiled.

"Not bad for your size!" Feng Lang really couldn't help the urge to smash him, "You can't even fight, how can you capture their main battleship!"

"Who said there was going to be a fight." Feng Lang asked back.

"You..." Feng Lang was interrupted just as he was about to speak.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and hit the east and the west." Zhou Yuze whispered eight words.

"Well, anyway, we have a good bait." Tang Rui ignored Feng Lang and leaned over to chat with Zhou Yuze.

Feng Lang's face turned blue and red, and he looked at Yao Xue next to him, and began to consider the feasibility of the plan.It's not that he's really stupid, it's just that he didn't turn the corner for a while. Now that he's talked about it to this extent, how can he not know what Tang Rui's plan is?

"It's not difficult to lure the empire's mecha team away. As long as we gather the mechas we can use and pretend to escort the research team away, they will definitely chase them, and they must be the entire army, not separate teams." Zhou Yuze said.

"Of course, I was so embarrassed by a few mechas yesterday, and now there are two teams, how dare they entrust half of them here?" Tang Rui said.

"The problem is how to sneak into the battleship." Zhou Yuze frowned.

Although the ground troops were all wiped out, there were still marines on board the battleship. With the defense and weapons of the battleship itself, even if a mecha squad came, it would not be easy to break through for a while, and it was enough to wait for the rescue.Worst of all, the battleship can still take off.

However, the distance from the research institute to the imperial camp was covered with rocky beaches, not to mention daytime, even at night it was impossible to pass by without being noticed.

"Hmm..." Tang Rui stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

"I have a solution." Suddenly, a cold voice came from the stairs.

"Huh?" Tang Rui turned his head in surprise.

"Isn't it just sneaking in?" Su Yingtang walked over and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"How should I say it?" Tang Rui said.

Su Yingtang didn't answer, but rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, but saw a green armband on his right forearm, which looked translucent and very cute, I don't know what material it was made of.

Tang Rui's eyes sank, and under the inexplicable eyes of everyone, he poked the armband with a finger.

For a moment, the armband seemed to come alive, it shrank twice suddenly, and crawled towards Su Yingtang as if frightened.

"What!" Feng Lang subconsciously wanted to draw his gun.

"This is..." Tang Rui hesitated before saying, "That seed? Did you really plant it?"

"En." Su Yingtang replied casually, playing with the little thing with his fingers to comfort him.

"Won't it grow into that monster?" Tang Rui asked blackly.

"Who knows." Su Yingtang shrugged, very irresponsible.

"Hey..." Tang Rui felt his eyelids twitching.

"What's the use of it?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Digging a grave." Su Yingtang said.

"Huh?" Tang Rui got even darker.

"Go." Su Yingtang picked up the little guy and threw it on the ground.

Feng Lang immediately took a few steps back and stared at it warily.Through the conversation just now, he realized that this seemingly cute thing is actually not cute at all, just think about the corpses that were just disposed of in the backyard.

After the little thing fell to the ground, it swayed, and immediately began to take root and grow. The solid stone slab on the ground cracked, and green roots could be seen extending from under the little thing, drilling down continuously, as easily as if the floor was made of bean curd. like.

"Plants can take root in the hardest soil." Su Yingtang said plainly.

"Well... If you can control it, it would be nice to let it dig a passage for us to go under the imperial battleship." Tang Rui stroked his chin and said.

"Hey, are you serious?" Feng Lang only felt his scalp go numb.

"Of course, seriously!" Tang Rui nodded.

"It's very easy to use." Su Yingtang said, pinching the small thing with two fingers and lifting it up, like pulling a carrot, and watching the roots shrink back again, everyone couldn't help but backed away, and their faces paled for a while. white.

Especially the team that first entered the research institute and had a bitter fight with that monster, all of them twitched, all with expressions of wanting to vomit...

"Then it's decided like this." Zhou Yuze decided on the action plan very simply.

On the contrary, Tang Rui glanced at him, with some surprise in his eyes, but more of relief.

It seems that what happened last night did not leave any psychological shadow on this strong boy, so that's good...
