glory [rebirth]

One month later, King Yar City, apartment.

"Minister of Defense Abraham Oliver has resigned a few days ago, but the Ministry of Defense has not held a press conference, and officials have kept silent to the media and have not disclosed any information. Since the beginning of this year, the senior leadership has begun to reshuffle..."

Mu Qingtong and Schwartz were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and the host on it happily commented on political affairs, and a guest who seemed to have researched it was sitting next to him.

Mu Qingtong yawned, and fell asleep under the coral fleece blanket.

Schwartz turns the volume down with the remote and takes another look at him.

Mu Qingtong's appetite has been very poor for the past two months. He was originally relatively thin, but because he has been exercising a lot before pregnancy, he still looks very healthy.Since becoming pregnant, he has looked very sluggish, his cheeks have sunken slightly, and his cheekbones are much more prominent than before.

After ten weeks of pregnancy, his morning sickness eased a lot, but the nausea was still lingering. Drinking lemon water could only relieve it a little, but it didn't help much after that.

He basically stays in the apartment except for school, so no one except Schwartz has known about his pregnancy so far.

But very fortunately, in such a tense situation, Mu Qingtong's routine check-ups showed that the fetus was very healthy.

It has grown to the size of an egg, and its head occupies almost half of its body. Like a little alien, its small hands and feet have already taken shape. Mu Qingtong heard its extremely fast heartbeat with the help of an instrument yesterday.

After the sound of the TV was turned down, it had a hypnotic effect. Mu Qingtong half-lyed on the sofa and fell asleep after a while.

Schwartz tiptoed to cover him, then took out the communicator and took a picture of him in his current state.

The shutter sound program for taking pictures was deleted by Schwartz, and he edited the message secretly and sent it out.

[Schwartz sent a picture. 】

【Schwartz: Boss, Qingtong has become so thin. 】

About just finished working, this time Jiang Yao's message replied very quickly.

[Jiang Yao: He still can't eat? 】

[Schwartz: Well, he vomits when he eats too much. He bought a lot of nutritional supplements, but it doesn't seem to work.The doctor also said that this is normal and it will be fine in a few weeks. 】【Schwartz: His stomach still hasn't protruded, but I touched it, and it's indeed different from before. It's a little bulging, and it's a little hard. 】【Jiang Yao: Yes. 】

[Schwartz: Boss, can I ask you a question? 】

[Jiang Yao: Tell me. 】

[Schwartz: Where exactly did Damian go? I haven’t heard from him this month. Can you reveal a little bit? 】【Jiang Yao: He is in the Thorn Legion and is currently safe. 】

Schwartz looked at that sentence for a long time. After typing a line, he felt it was inappropriate and deleted it. Finally, he replied——

[Schwartz: Okay, I see, thank you boss. 】

Schwartz was about to turn off the communicator when the signal grid suddenly disappeared, and it took more than ten seconds to read it again.

He felt a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention, thinking that there might be something wrong with the communication network.

Perhaps Jiang Yao is very taboo to the media. There is almost no real-time video of the battle in the news, and there is no video or audio recording of Jiang Yao's interview.

Only the intelligence department will come out from time to time to hold a press conference to announce the latest battle situation to the public.

Although many TV programs discussed the war in the central region, none of them dared to question whether the war could be won.Since the missile defense system was transformed into an offensive weapon, the voices of opposition from all over the country have been collectively silenced.

After the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Intelligence were reshuffled by Jiang Yao, the prototype of a new power center has begun to take shape. His style is tougher than the previous emperors, and he is vigorous and vigorous in rectifying dissidents.

Even the Minister of Defense, who was an extremely loyal minister, took the blame and resigned.

People who are sensitive to this have already realized that what they will face in the future is a powerful government that will never happen in a century.

Mu Qingtong is still sleeping peacefully, his concept of the royal family is still in his previous life, Jiang Yao never talks about political matters with him, and the regular contact every day is just to report his safety.

His identity was also concealed so well that until now he had no sense of being a member of the royal family.

Legion of Thorns, Command.

Jiang Yao lay on the office chair, looked at his communicator, and sighed softly.On the screen, Mu Qingtong's eyes were blue, her cheeks were sunken, and her hair had lost its previous luster.

Jiang Yao subconsciously touched Mu Qingtong's face on the screen with his fingertips, and stared blankly for a while.

Later, there was the birth inspection report sent by Schwartz. The gender of the fetus was still unknown, but Jiang Yao had a hunch that this time would be the same as in his previous life, but he didn't know what the chromosomes of the fetus were...

Central region, abandoned city, coordinates unknown.

"Hey."

The man who had just delivered the goods heard the voice and turned around in doubt: "You are..."

Behind him stood a shirtless, muscular man.There was a huge spider tattoo on his chest, his golden hair was shaved close to the scalp, and there were five deeper shaved marks on the top of his head, like a sharp claw crawling on it.The man was chewing gum, with a wooden warehouse pinned to his waist, looking absent-minded.

"Chen Pi?" The man bent down and asked softly in his ear.

"Yes, I am, may I ask you..." The murderous aura on the man was so strong that Chen Pi subconsciously took two steps back, but bumped into the wall behind him.

"Oh, my name is Monkey." The man stretched his neck, then took a step closer and said.

"You are looking for me..." Chen Pi had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I, I just delivered the goods."

Damian smiled confusedly, and asked, "What do you have now?"

"Number 3 and No. 4 are available, do you want them?" Chen Pi asked.

"Pure?" Damian answered, but he didn't seem to want to buy it.

"Of course it's pure. I supply all the goods in this area." Chen Pi said.

"Do you have a sample?" Damian moved closer, almost sticking to Chen Pi's body. Chen Pi has a handsome face and a thinner body, more than a head shorter than Damian.

He was shaking his head and was about to say that he didn't wear it, when the other party touched his ass.

Chen Pi: "..."

Immediately afterwards, Damian leaned into his ear and said, "You should have seen it, I won't touch that...can I buy you?"

Some people around have noticed the two of them, and those who have trouble have already whistled at them.

Chen Pi swallowed, and said in a panic: "Buy you, sir! I... damn it!"

Damian directly lifted Chen Pi up, Chen Pi lost weight suddenly, and shouted in panic, Damian carried him on his shoulder as if nothing had happened, and patted his butt to make him calm down.

"Fuck! Let me go!" Damian's hands were tightly wrapped around him like iron tongs. Chen Pi struggled for a long time to no avail, and wanted to ask the surrounding mercenaries for help, but everyone surrounded him with a happy expression. Others even ran over with cigarettes in their mouths to watch the fun.

"You fucking be honest with me!" Damian threatened, "If you keep arguing, I will deal with you here."

Chen Pi: "..."

Chen Pi has had relationships with many mercenaries in the past few years of selling goods, but it was all to solve the physical needs of both parties. No one has ever forced him to do things you like and I want.

He recalled for a long time that in the past few years of doing business, he has been cautious and has never offended anyone, let alone this bald head.

What's going on today?

But if he just wanted to do something, Chen Pi didn't care too much. Although the other party was a bit strange, he was handsome, with a straight nose, sharp eyebrows and star eyes, and a dog waist...

Sexual ability should be good?

He also took advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Chen Pi didn't bother to resist at all, instead he had some vague anticipation.

"Fucking lightly..." Damian walked so fast that Chen Pi was jolted so badly that he couldn't help cursing.

Damian ignored him at all, continued walking, and suddenly stopped in front of a bungalow, kicked the door open, and took a few strides to throw the tangerine peel on the bed.

"Fuck, you'll die if you take it easy." The living conditions here are relatively poor, and the mattresses are also hard, Chen Pi almost threw up.

"Hmm..." Damian replied vaguely.

But Chen Pi didn't care, and asked while taking off his clothes: "Do you have a condom?"

Damian spat out the gum in his mouth and asked back, "Do you have AIDS?"

"I'm afraid you have."

Damian sneered, walked to the door, saw a few mercenaries looking at him, snapped his fingers, and locked the door behind him.

Chen Pi had already taken off his shirt, lying on the bed and opened the side drawer to rummage inside: "Hey, let me tell you, you really don't have a cover?"

Damian walked over without saying a word, and ordered: "Don't move."

Xu felt that such a tone was wrong, Chen Pi looked back awkwardly, was startled by the other party's eyes, his expression became no longer frivolous, but extremely serious.

Chen Pi realized that something was wrong and didn't dare to move anymore.

Damian turned on the radio, which was still playing explosive rock music. He turned the volume to the maximum and put it on the table.

Chen Pi couldn't grasp what he was going to do for a while, and asked, "Who are you?"

Damian didn't answer him, picked up a first aid kit by the bed, and put it on the table.

Chen Pi: "..."

After Damian finished this incredible move, he finally spoke: "You are House's informant."

"..." Chen Pi was obviously frightened when he heard the name, his expression flustered for a moment, and he denied, "What House?"

"Don't pretend, I'm from the intelligence department." Damian said with a clear look, "House asked me to come to you, why, you still want to see my work permit?"

After Damian changed his expression, the mercenary temperament on his body disappeared, and his every move was in the posture of a regular army.

Chen Pi was a little shaken.

"I have nothing else to do with you, I just want to ask you something." Damian said, "Relax."

Chen Pi was still skeptical, but he didn't question it again.

The two were silent for a while, and Damian asked: "The war is coming to this side, but you haven't provided any new information for more than a month... House gave you Chen promise, and he will help you as soon as the war is over." You have washed your identity and lived a normal life incognito, but you don't seem to be cooperating."

Unexpectedly, Chen Pi's complexion changed suddenly, he got up from the bed and wanted to escape.

Damian pinned him down.

"I don't know House!" Chen Pi said through his teeth.

Damian was two sizes bigger than him, so he couldn't move under the pressure, and Chen Pi was a little out of breath.

"Are you still pretending?" Damian narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice in his ear.

Chen Pi's scalp was numb by his voice, he swallowed, and whispered, "Don't talk in my ear, I'm going to be tough..."

"..." Damian let go of him instantly after hearing this, and distanced himself from him, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Tsk." Seeing him like this, Chen Pi lost his temper, "Damn it, why don't you look down on me so much?"

"I'm not interested in people who take drugs." Damian said, and then he opened the first-aid box, and he didn't forget to turn his head to warn Chen Pi, "Don't try to run, just take a step out of this door, I'll kill you."

"I sell goods, but I don't take drugs myself." Chen Pi estimated the distance between here and the door, and he was sure that he could not escape, so he just sat on the edge of the bed in despair, "I really don't take drugs... Damn, I You're not ugly anymore, what about you?"

Damian turned a deaf ear to his excuse and said, "I'm from the intelligence department, you don't have to doubt that."

Chen Pi didn't answer.

Damian looked him up and down and said, "Put your hand out."

"What?"

"Put it out." Damian said without doubt.

Chen Pi was a little afraid of him, so he had no choice but to stretch out his arms.

Damian grabbed his wrist, took out a disposable injection from the first aid kit and stuck it into his arm.

"Fuck!!!" This was not an intravenous injection, the medicine inside directly hit his muscle, Chen Pi screamed in pain, and five small blood spots appeared on the injected skin.

Damian threw the injection into the trash can.

"What the hell did you hit me?" Chen Pi clasped his hands and asked.

"Veritaserum," Damian said calmly.

"..." Chen Pi opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, his expression was extremely shocked, and he stammered after a while, "You, why do you have this?"

Damian smiled, waved his index finger in front of Chen Pi, and said, "Are you starting to feel dizzy now? It is said that this medicine works very quickly."

Chen Pi did feel a little uncomfortable, and his breathing rate gradually became chaotic.

Damian glanced at the clock on the wall, and said expressionlessly: "There are still 3 minutes... Do you feel a little far away when you hear my voice now?"

Chen Pi blinked, wanting to deny Damian's words, but after thinking about it a few times, he had to admit that the other party was right.

If the other party was from the intelligence department as he said, it would not be impossible to have this medicine in his hand.

As time passed by, Damian asked again: "Then do you feel a little sleepy now, can't keep your eyes open, and want to sleep?"

Chen Pi: "..."

Chen Pi yawned.

Damian smiled and reached into his trouser pocket for a while, but nothing came out.

Chen Pi glanced at him in a daze, then yawned again.

Guessing it was almost done, Damian leaned into his ear and asked softly, "Why haven't you sent any information recently?"

Chen Pi was silent.

"Let me guess..." Damian speculated unhurriedly, "If you are still cooperating with House, it is impossible not to send information out according to common sense. Your identity is very free here. And the network is very wide, and there is no situation where you can’t get news.”

Chen Pi defaults.

Damian dragged his chin, and continued: "From this point of view, there is only one possibility—House didn't let you send out the information, right?"

"..." Chen Pi was in a trance, as if he had exhausted a lot of energy, and looked a little tired. After a while, he replied, "Is there something wrong with your intelligence department? Are you going to mess with House?"

"How?" Damian asked curiously.

"Obviously it was you who said it, you don't need to hand over too much information, for the sake of safety... Now you have sent people to investigate this matter, I don't understand what you are going to do." Chen Pi shook his head, "Of course I am You guys are not interested in fighting that one, I just want to be an ordinary person and live the rest of my life in peace. I just want to save my life, I don’t have much pursuit.”

"Safety for what?" Damian asked.

"Isn't the Thorn Legion coming over?"

"Ah."

"The access checks are very strict now, and even I have been restricted." Chen Pi said, and yawned again, "So it is a problem for many informants to send information now."

"But you can still find a chance to send it out, right?" Damian asked back.

"That's right, if you really want to send it out, there's no way you can't find a chance... In fact, there are very few that are really useful, and I don't know how you screened." Chen Pi shrugged, "The person who connected me later told me For fear of exposing our informants, we don’t need to send out information so frequently in the future.”

"Who told you that?" Damian asked. "House?"

"No, it's the person who connected with me. House is in the city of Yar, and usually he won't contact me directly. Unless I have very important information, I will tell him in person. Otherwise, I will directly contact the person in charge. .”

"what is his name?"

"I think about it..." Chen Pi shook his head, as if he was recalling, "I called him Fatty, in his real name... Oh, I don't know if it's his real name, but once when I was talking to him, someone came to him , calling out to Sam."

"What else?" Damian asked.

Chen Pi looked very sleepy, he yawned several times before replying: "What do you want to know?"

"Tell me everything you've collected recently."

"That..." Chen Pi scratched the back of his head, "It's really a bit much..."

"I'm not in a hurry, just speak slowly."

"There are a lot fewer people here. They have recruited some new mercenaries, and the business is not very good... Oh, the little commander I know, named Fast, has gone to the southwest. Except Some of his commanders have also passed by." Chen Pi said, "You should have seen it too, they don't care about this city at all, it will gradually become an empty shell."

"..." Damian felt a little bit, Chen Pi's words confirmed his conjecture.

"I still have a rough map of the dungeon in my hand." Chen Pi said mysteriously.

"What map?"

"I slept with Fast. Just a few days ago, there was an underground city under the Manla Mountains in the southwest. He said that the place is very good for business and the scale is very large. He also asked me to go and see it." Chen Pi added, "However, I only remember a general idea. Fast didn't give me the map, he just let me have a look."

"Can you recite it now?"

Chen Pi thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Damian nodded.

"It's fine, but I don't want to paint here, it's too dangerous...there are all mercenaries here, anyone can crush me to death, I can't take this risk."

"I also know the location of the two heavy weapon depots." Chen Pi looked proud.

Damian narrowed his eyes.

"It's because I slept in." Chen Pi said with a smile, "It's easiest to reveal these things on the bed. I don't need to ask, they will take the initiative to say."

"You know so much information."

"That's right..." Chen Pi didn't deny it, "So sometimes even I feel it's a pity that I've heard so many strange things, and now you don't want them anymore."

"Who said no?" Damian asked back.

"What are you going to do now? You are already here, you are a mercenary, you can't come in and out at will, the communication signals here are completely monitored, you can't send out the information."

Damian was silent for a while, then said, "When can you leave here?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, my goods are sold out, so I have to go outside to get them." Chen Pi's thinking was a little slow, and it took a while to realize, "You want me to give it away?"

"Yes." Damian said, "I'll give you a contact information..."

"Your intelligence department?"

"Well." Damian nodded, "His name is Irmo, you can turn him into his informant, he has more power than House, and is the station master of the entire central region."

Chen Pi yawned a few more times, and complained: "I said you are really cruel, give me some veritaserum, it hurts me to death."

Damian glanced at his wound, and threw Chen Pi's clothes to him: "Put it on."

"Oh..." Chen Pi took it obediently, Damian was completely uninterested in him, and he was still a little disappointed.

"Okay, let's go." Damian then gave the order to evict the guest.

"You let me go now, what about my veritaserum?" Chen Pi said.

Damian sneered and said, "What veritaserum, I gave you physiological saline."

Chen Pi: "!!!"

Chen Pi pointed at Damian's nose and cursed: "Fuck!" He suddenly became sober, and the yawning situation was completely cured.He put on his clothes and walked to the door. He seemed to be a little annoyed, and cursed again.

Unexpectedly, Damian followed him to the door, Chen Pi raised his eyebrows while opening the door and said, "Why, can't you bear me?"

Another mercenary was watching them outside.

Damian grabbed Chen Pi's neck and put it close to his ear, with an ambiguous expression, but his tone was cheap: "You are not ugly, but my wife is ten thousand times prettier than you. I see that you are not ugly at all. Can't get hard."
