Chapter 15
The Beta Lieutenant Colonel who died for his country (15)
Translated by: Niladri
Six hours until the final stage of the Queen’s evolution.
Carlo felt a little uneasy, and felt sothing big was going to happen. His sixth sense had always been accurate, because the last ti this feeling occurred was when his father had died.
Carlo began to recall the conversation with Andrew a few days ago. In these few days, whenever emotions such as frustration, despair, or resentnt clouded his mind, Carlo would recall that conversation to save himself from desperation.
On that day, Andrew had said: “When the wind thunder performs the assassination of the Queen’s mission, I will bring away a mber of my squad with similar body structure as you and hand you over his identity. You will take the opportunity to go to the mission instead of him. This is your best chance to prove yourself. As long as you make great achievents in the mission, the commander will definitely look at you and let you stay.” [T/N: They will probably in suits and/or chs so face won’t be visible]
As Carlo was imrsed in thoughts, the door of the confinent room was opened. It was Andrew who ca in, carrying a person whose face was hidden, on his shoulder.
“Exchange the clothes with him, and then I will take you out.” He put the man on the bed, then turned and kept an eye on the door.
Carlo quickly changed his clothes and put a quilt on the person lying in bed. He suddenly felt sothing in the back of his neck and the feeling quickly passed. He turned back, only to see Andrew’s hand retreating from his neck.
“There was so dirt.” Andrew smiled slightly: “I want to buckle yourself up for the task, I believe you can do it.”
Carlo squinted and nodded. Andrew had always been so gentle, unlike Xiu Yi Te, although he was very caring towards him, his attitude had always been always awkward. What’s even worse was that even if they were together in the sa place, adjutant Reiner would be there as well.
Even if adjutant Reiner was always cold toward Xiu Yi Te, every ti he saw Reiner, his whole person will rush forward like a big dog that tried to please his master. Oops, it’s not so good to think of it. Carlo secretly stuck out his tongue.
But even then, only Xiu Yi Te could make Carlo have the feeling of being close to one’s heart and a dependable. Anyway, the lieutenant colonel Reiner was just a Beta, they were just good friends. If Oga must marry an Alpha, then he will only choose Xiu Yi Te. Carlo has thought so secretly in his heart more than once.
Five hours until the final stage of the Queen’s evolution.
“What is this situation? Is the wind and under up to so mischief?”
“Is there an Oga mixed in?”
“Such an important task, they are taking the fate of mankind as a joke!”
“Must do a thorough investigation, there must have been so shady deals”.
“I think this must be a conspiracy of the Zerg. According to my many years of research, the Zerg must have evolved into a parasitic bug. The Oga must have been parasitized by the Zerg to destroy the plan to assassinate the Queen...”
“Really? Have the Zergs really evolved into a parasitic bug? It’s terrible.”
“I have been guaranteed by my squad, yes, people who are interested can go to my personal hopage and have detailed research reports.”
“Wow, it’s my idol, Mr. Xiu Yi Te is just way too strong~”
The chaos in the tactical hall was broadcast live on the star network, the whole star network was seething with excitent, and the ssages were rising at a rate of millions per second.
Lu Heng looked at Xiu Yi Te and slowly approached the center of chaos, trying to bring Carlo to the isolation room. However, there were too many people around Carlo, and the strength of the team was so strong that there was no way to stun so many elite fighters in a short ti. What’s more, Xiu Yi Te also began to be affected by Carlo’s pheromone, and his mind began to get confused.
Carlo’s pheromone was very strange. Even the Beta Reiner could sll the sweetness in the air that was saccharine and greasy, almost capable of causing suffocation like drowning in water. Not to ntion the Alpha in the chs, the more powerful Alpha, the more they seed to respond to this pheromone, it was simply not possible to resist approaching Carlo.
This is not right; Carlo seems to have been injected with hormone elent. The hormone elents were used by Oga, which had defective glands, and could help them successfully go into estrus. However, a healthy and pure Oga, with the use of the hormone elent, could probably make the Alpha of the entire planet lose their minds.
He saw that the situation was continuing to go out of control, the army of armored chs were battered and bloody even without entering the battlefield. The mbers of the wind and thunder ch division were all crè-de-lcrè, every casualty would be a great loss.
Lu Heng made a decisive link to the intelligent system of the Starship and quickly certified his identity: “Start the ergency plan X.”
A chanical voice was broadcasted: “Starting ergency plan X will release high-concentration hypnotic gas in the starship. This gas is only effective for Oga in estrus and Alpha affected by Oga pheromone. After inhalation, sleep ti is 24 hours. Confirm comncent?”
“Confird.”
A few minutes later, the chaotic hall restored calm. Unexpectedly, Xiu Yi Te still stood still, his eyes were red, and he was weakly walking towards Lu Heng, swaying. Lu Heng walked a few steps forward and held him before he fell.
Xiu Yi Te grabbed Lu Heng and the blue veins on the back of his hands were visible: “Lieutenant Colonel Reiner, I order you to force to wake up.”
Xiu Yi Te knew Lu Heng too well. He knew that Lu Heng would continue to perform tasks, but it was inevitable that if a single person went, he wouldn’t return.
“From prior cases, forced awakening have been observed to lead to the collapse of the spiritual field, the level of spiritual power will be reduced to F, and then you can no longer drive the ch.” Lu Heng’s tone was still calm.
“Damn the f*cking spiritual force! Damn the f*cking ch! I don’t care! I only care about you!” Xiu Yi Te’s arms were like a pair of steel tongs, and Lu Heng’s hands felt faintly painful. He had red eyes, and they were glaring daggers. He wanted to stab himself in order to stay awake. It’s just that the struggle was futile, and after a while, Xiu Yi Te eventually succumbed to fainting because of the dicine.
There were very few people standing in the hall, all of them were Beta. The remaining few combatants were not enough to perform the tasks as originally planned.
Lu Heng’s calm and indifferent face made the panicked crowd calm down a bit. One person asked: “Lieutenant Colonel Reiner, what should we do now?”
“Start the ergency defense protocol.” Lu Heng issued a thodical command, and let the rest of the people move the sleeping Alpha in the hall back to their room. And he went to Carlo to examine him carefully, and found a very fine pinhole behind the neck.
It seed that so people tried to help Carlo, and brought him out of the confinent room. As for who this person was, Lu Heng had a guess in his heart, but he still needed tangible evidence.
Lu Heng was going to go alone to the Queen’s Nest. Their original plan was to retreat after the success of the assassination. This required two people to cooperate; and if one did not consider the retreat, with the ability of Lu Heng, this task could also be completed by one person.
{You haven’t done anything before and now that the mont of your death has arrived, how are you able to gather the attention of the public in such an imposing manner?} The little assistant who had been watching was finally unable to hold back and ntally asked it’s doubts to Lu Heng. As a newcor, Lu Heng was really good. The entire job was smooth and natural, and it did not warrant issuing an OOC warning even once. [T/N: Out Of Character- Behaviour differing from that of host body]
{Do you know what the butterfly effect is? The light brain that I deliberately damaged was the wing of this little butterfly.}
{I have started to admire you a bit. Then are you going to die now? Don’t be afraid, our little assistants have their own pain immunity system. In order to prevent employees from having psychological shadows, the death in the task is painless! }
{Not in a hurry, I have to light a few fires.}
Lu Heng picked up Carlo, who was in a coma, and left the shooting range of the holographic cara. The people on the star network were shocked by Lu Heng’s decisive hypnosis. All the big-shot Alphas in star network were shocked. Until Lu Heng disappeared in front of the cara, they recovered.
“He just forcibly hypnotized the 90% of the wind and thunder? He doesn’t plan to perform the task?”
“Reiner Hart is a sinner of all mankind! The wind and thunder’s failure in this mission should be sewn in the cloth having “sha” written on it!”
“Strongly demanding that Reiner Hart be court marshaled! He should be sentenced to exile for a lifeti!”
“I suspect that he is also a Zerg spy. This parasitic bug is terrible!”
......
Regardless of how the star network was raging, Lu Heng had no energy to spare. After throwing Carlo into the bed in the confinent room, he found a very small device from the crack in the ceiling.
There, Lu Heng placed a anti-shielding cara placed in the confinent room. Lu Heng knew that there was a traitor in the wind and thunder, but he could not confirm his identity before putting Carlo in. After the accidental estrus event of Carlo, the mysterious man showed clues, and several encrypted communications monitored by the Starship Intelligence System were evidence.
Although he couldn’t know the content of the communications, they let Lu Heng knew what the mysterious man and the forces behind him were planning to do. He had always done a thorough job, and placed anti-shielding caras on key locations of the starship.
This kind of cara would not be affected by the shielding field, Lu Heng got it from Alex. Only this technology was still in the experintal stage, it was not mature, the life of the cara was extrely short, and after recording once, it had to be scrapped. Only at this critical mont, Lu Heng was willing to bring them out.
Lu Heng brought out the images, and what happened in the confinent room in the recent days was recorded. The most important thing was Andrew’s scene against Carlos. Finding the person of interest*, Lu Heng contacted Alex and asked him to help investigate all the communication records since Andrew entered the wind and thunder. [T/N: *suspected person. RAW used ‘object of suspicion’]
Three hours until the final stage of the Queen’s evolution.
The angry star network people saw the holographic image in front of them suddenly switch. What appeared in front of them was Lu Heng sitting behind his desk.
“I am the adjutant of Wind and thunder, Lieutenant Colonel Reiner. Now I will report the results of the investigation.” Lu Heng in front of the cara still looked the sa, with furrowed brows, a straight mouth and an extrely serious look..
Lu Heng posted the video records from the cara and the communication records of Andrew and Wayne on the star network, including the encrypted communication saying “sabotage the mission at all costs.”
Star network suddenly burst out like a boiling pot, because Admiral Wayne had always appeared in front of the public in an image of integrity, and because they filthily competed for power and disregarded the importance of the overall situation, making them feel guilty about crazily insulting Wind and thunder, and Lu Heng.
“I said that Wind and thunder and Lieutenant Colonel Reiner were innocent. He is the glory of our Beta. The person I admire most is him!”
“These things cannot be forged?”
“What fart, those video records are all in military encoded format. Can you fake one for ?”
“But what about the assassination of the Queen? I live in the Blue Dream Star. We are often attacked by the Zerg. My father and brother are both dead under the claws of the Zerg. It’s hard, I thought this would allow us to live our days in peace...”
“Damn Wayne! Damn! He should be court marshaled, he should be sentenced to death!”
“Yes, you should restore the capital punishnt for Wayne!! This hypocrite, this scum!”
The public opinion on the star network has changed another trend. Lu Heng glanced roughly and didn’t care too much to leave the office.
