Chapter 152: Same Kind
When Yang Ming was half asleep, that small, soft body crawled into his arms.
Hera rested her head on Yang Ming's arm and turned her back to Yang Ming.
According to the "sleeping position analysis" in those emotional gossips, this posture is the most heartwarming way between lovers, and her choice to turn her back to Yang Ming also means that she has let down all her defenses.
That is, Yang Ming turned over in the middle of the night and casually threw Hera to the other side.
Heralio, who was woken up by the fall, was a little speechless.
Is this the physical strength that a normal human being should have?
Biologist swear words.
She turned over along Yang Ming's arm, opened her eyes and looked at the man who was so close to her, with some wild thoughts in her mind.
She had lived a very happy life in the past two years.
Just like what is often shown in movies, love between young men and women is the poison that is most likely to soften people's fighting spirit.
Half a year after they confirmed their relationship, they finally broke through the final hurdle.
Although the fundamental reason was that Yang Ming came back three times in total in that half year;
But Hera still felt that she was respected by Yang Ming.
From then on, Hera seemed to have been opened the door to a new world by Yang Ming - although she didn't want to admit it - Yang Ming brought her countless happy times.
Whenever Yang Ming returned to her, Hera would always lose focus on work, and would constantly have thoughts of laziness and pleasure. After indulging in pleasure, she would fall into reflection and self-blame.
She didn't know what was wrong with her and why she was so weak.
Fortunately, Yang Ming was very busy, and the two could only get together for a few days every few months. This allowed Hera to ensure that she could devote most of her energy to work.
Hera didn't care what Yang Ming did outside and never asked.
They are not a normal couple.
In addition to the ever-warming relationship between the two, there are several special relationships.
captives and prisoners;
the provider and the dependent;
The rescuer and the rescued.
Hera understood that Yang Ming had to restrict her freedom, and was also grateful to Yang Ming for providing her with a stable experimental environment and experimental samples, allowing her to freely carry out research on the Zerg.
The only thing that made Hera feel uncomfortable was that Yang Ming always insisted on using safety measures when they were being intimate.
She knows her body very well. She knows when she is most likely to get pregnant and when she is not. She also monitors the changes in her body's hormones.
She always felt that Yang Ming was bothered by the fact that she had been infected by Zerg samples...
The light of the stars shines through the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows into the warm-toned cabin.
Hera opened her big eyes first.
She saw that Yang Ming was still sleeping soundly and immediately smiled.
Start planning.
Hera carefully moved Yang Ming's hand away, quietly left his arms, and slipped into the cloakroom next door like a civet cat.
Soon, she finished washing and tidying herself up, put on light makeup, put on silk stockings, and covered herself with a translucent black veil, and once again slipped into Yang Ming's arms.
She wanted to do an experiment to see whether Yang Ming would still insist on using safety measures in this atmosphere.
If so, she would reconsider their relationship and increase the distance between them.
…
A few galactic hours later.
"Captain arrives at the bridge!"
Yang Ming appeared on the bridge of the battleship General Wageru, looking refreshed.
The technicians, soldiers and officers on duty stood up in unison and saluted or stood at attention to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming smiled and waved, then walked up the steps to the captain's area of the main control console. He sat in the chair, crossed his legs as usual, took the refreshing drink brought by the beautiful navigator, and signed several daily documents.
It took him just five minutes to complete his daily work as a captain.
Because battleships are usually used as flagships of ordinary fleets, the bridge of a battleship is nearly twice as large as that of an ordinary cruiser.
Buzz. Buzz.
Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly.
He pressed lightly on the corner of the dial, and a hidden earphone popped out and was put into his ear.
"Boss, there's nothing wrong with Miss Hera's health."
Lu's voice was somewhat dissatisfied:
“Although I shouldn’t interfere with the private interactions between you and Miss Hera, I need to remind you that there is still instability and uncertainty in Hera.
"We still can't determine how she accessed the Zerg communication network."
Yang Ming laughed softly and said, "Lü, there are many things to consider when it comes to relationships. She obviously felt her self-esteem was damaged before."
"Well," Lu muttered, "the human emotional system is indeed the most commendable part of this species."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Make a daily report."
The law began to broadcast quickly:
"There has been no news about Posa in the past week. There have been large-scale demonstrations in the New Federation. The Guel Alliance is still showing signs of intervening in the war between the New Federation and the Sherman Empire. The CIA is increasing its bribery of Guel Alliance politicians.
"The economy in Luofeng is stable, and the Sherman Empire's favorability towards Luofeng has not decreased. The ascension of Adwant has remained in the top three hot words on the Internet in the Sherman Empire for sixteen consecutive hours.
"Our secret base is developing steadily, and the second base is 67 percent complete."
Yang Ming rested his head on his arms and closed his eyes, thinking.
If he didn't know that Po Su was still alive, Yang Ming felt that he would have had a very easy life in the past two years.
Unfortunately, he was never able to find any trace of Posha, which left a gloom in his heart.
Considering the time interval between the last time Posu was greeted by the antimatter bomb and her appearance, two years is more than enough time for her to recover her strength.
To Yang Ming, she was like a poisonous snake, hiding in the dark space, and could jump out at any time, revealing her sharp fangs.
On several occasions, Yang Ming could not help but go to the territory of the Sherman Empire, to the airspace where Posa first appeared.
——When they are in the same airspace, they can sense each other.
Fortunately, Yang Ming did not lose his mind.
Why not use warships and large-caliber ion cannons when you have them?
He is inferior to Posa in ancient god power, so of course he has to play to his strengths in other areas.
Therefore, Yang Ming formed the current elite formation and installed biological detection systems on all ships in the formation, striving to achieve early detection and early firing.
In addition, Dark Star also made some corresponding arrangements.
Yang Ming gave those mechanical thinking bodies the opportunity to form a small fleet, which was considered his other team and a small trump card.
"Lü, how's the analysis of that intelligence going?"
"Boss, eighty percent of it has been analyzed."
Lu sighed softly:
"The New Federal CIA has updated their encryption method, but the team that updated the encryption method has not changed. I can follow their logic and try to crack it. I will probably get results today.
“However, at this stage, it has been confirmed that the intelligence obtained by chance half a year ago does contain information about the insect burial site.
"Two years have passed since the Battle of Onyx. Assuming there is communication between the Zerg swarms, the surviving Zerg swarms should be developing secretly and at a high speed. It is very likely that a real Zerg plague will break out soon.
"This is your chance to improve your strength, boss."
"To be honest, I don't really want to go to the Sherman Empire," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Let's crack this intelligence first. If it's in a remote area of the Sherman Empire, and far away from where Posuo might be active, then we'll go there."
He stretched, and there was a little more heat in his eyes.
"I haven't had a proper fight in two years. Every day I just train and train."
"Okay, boss," Lu suggested, "If we can discover the real insect plague in advance, you may be able to catch up with Posha in terms of power. The identity of the White Ghost happens to be the best cover for our activities in the Sherman Empire."
Yang Ming smiled but said nothing.
He had created the White Ghost Organization on a whim before, and he didn't expect it to have such a good effect.
The busy mechanical thinking body assistant continued her heavy daily work.
The leisurely secondary ancient god life form began to use weightlifting to kill his daily energy that had nowhere to go.
At noon, Yang Ming was eating a box lunch with a rich side dish, turning on the Internet access terminal he used in Luofeng, and looking for his few friends list.
He wanted to find someone to chat with and kill some free time.
Edwang has just ascended the throne, so he must be busy with a lot of things.
Old man Kolev is currently inspecting factory construction on the third administrative planet. He must be socializing at this point in time, so there's nothing much to talk about with him.
After the old guy followed the Feinan on an operation once, he decisively returned to the business field.
Stealing technology is indeed too boring and far less exciting than driving the Feinan to rob merchant ships.
Yang Ming scrolled through the list.
He couldn't possibly harass 026 who was in the middle of intense combat training... Go find Dabic and talk to him about anthropology.
The network terminal suddenly vibrated and a beautiful girl's avatar popped up.
The content of the avatar is very interesting. It is the back of a girl wearing a tulle princess dress. She is facing the darkness with her back to the light. She is holding a knight's sword in her hand. She has a slender figure and a long neck.
Emilia, the fourth princess of the Luofeng Empire, became the eldest princess of the Luofeng Empire after Edwang ascended the throne.
She still had the right to inherit the throne until Adwant gave birth to an heir.
Emilia sent a video invitation. Yang Ming looked around, shrunk the projection screen to the size of a palm, and then clicked to agree.
The interior of the princess's bedroom appeared on the screen.
With her ponytail bobbing gently, Emilia, wearing a melee training suit, appeared in the center of the screen. There was a little sweat on her forehead, and her face now looked more and more like her beautiful mother.
"Good afternoon, bounty hunter."
"Well, good afternoon, employer."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Nothing to do with your pocket money again?"
"Well, I just bought a few guard mechas, and I don't have any extra pocket money to hire you to work for me."
Emilia blinked, her light eyes showing some hesitation.
Yang Ming took the initiative to ask: "Is there something difficult? You have a credit limit with me."
"Mother needs to go home," Emilia said two words in the smallest voice, "to report on her duties."
Yang Ming leaned back, took out a piece of juicy synthetic meat, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
He said: "This is normal. The princess cannot lose the opportunity to go home and visit her family."
"But this is not safe," Emilia bit her lip.
As she was in puberty, her appetite was obviously aroused.
Emilia said, "I've talked to my mother. Aunt Falin is going back with us. They need to explain an unexpected incident that happened two years ago. I'm a little worried... I plan to go with them. Do you think it's okay?"
——Aunt Farin refers to Princess Daina’s personal maid.
Yang Ming frowned tightly: "What are you doing there?"
"Just to make some friends," Emilia shrugged slightly, "Besides, I'm only fifteen years old now, no Sherman nobles will come to propose marriage to me. I want to act with my mother and Aunt Faline."
Yang Ming thought carefully.
Emilia didn't say much, but her meaning had been conveyed.
Yang Ming roughly understood that the princess went to the Sherman Empire for two reasons: first, to closely monitor Princess Dana and her personal maid, and second, to protect Princess Dana and allow her to return to the Luofeng Empire normally.
Dana is an intelligence officer for Sherman's Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Her mission was to get close to the former emperor of the Luofeng Empire, gain his trust, give birth to offspring, and after the Sherman Empire replaced the former emperor, closely monitor the intelligent machine and provide cover for it.
Now, Adwant has ascended the throne. On the surface, he obeys the Sherman Empire's orders and has even taken the initiative to present some great gifts to the Sherman Empire.
Princess Dana, the intelligence officer, is likely to encounter an 'accident' that will erase the 'crimes' that the Sherman Empire once committed against Emperor Luofeng.
Emilia is different.
No matter what other identity Princess Dana has, Emilia is the most valued family member of Princess Luofeng and Edwang, and she enjoys a high reputation in the Luofeng Empire.
Emilia's companionship is the best protection for Princess Daina and her personal maid.
but……
Yang Ming looked at Emilia's pretty face.
Compared to ordinary young girls, she, being a member of the royal family, already possesses elegance and intelligence; her figure has also developed rapidly in the past two years, and has already reached the aesthetic standards of some decadent nobles in the empire.
Yang Ming asked: "What would you do if someone wanted to molest you?"
"He will definitely regret doing this," Emilia grabbed the knight's sword beside her and made a few sword-swinging movements.
It looks pretty good.
"Be careful," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "If you have any questions, contact Ed Wang directly."
"You agree?"
Emilia said with some surprise, but she immediately adjusted her tone: "I accept your suggestion, bounty hunter."
"Hmm," Yang Ming thought about it carefully, " Remember to inform your brother in advance about this matter. Do you know what to say?"
"I know how to handle these things," Emilia pointed at the dozen plates of food in front of Yang Ming and asked in a low voice, "Enjoy your meal. Why do you consume so many calories but your figure and face don't change at all?"
Yang Ming calmly explained: "I'm past puberty."
"Oh, yes, you are much older than me," Emilia immediately showed a look of disgust and hung up the call.
Yang Ming touched his chin.
There was something really wrong with his body.
He doesn't age, doesn't have wrinkles, and doesn't even grow a beard, which makes it a luxury for him to try a beard.
But this makes sense.
If it is the beard of a secondary ancient god life form, what kind of razor should be used?
Specialty diamonds?
Yang Ming searched for the fiefdom of Earl Mensa of the Sherman Empire, which was Princess Dana's nominal home.
Just as Yang Ming was studying Count Mensa's property on the star map on the projection screen, two text messages popped up in the corner.
[Boss, the intelligence has been cracked. There is a coordinate point near the worm-burying planet, which is an area that the Sherman Empire has not yet discovered.]
[Earl Mensa has been on a roll recently. He just won a battle and was recognized and rewarded by the royal family. He is very popular.]
Yang Ming thought about it and sent a message to Lu.
【Let's make a plan and go find bugs. 】
【Good boss.】
The message box disappears on its own.
Yang Ming continued to observe the star map of Count Mensa's fiefdom, comparing it with the star field where the Valkyrie was hiding.
…
at the same time.
Minter City, the first star of the New Federation.
The areas with the best climate on the entire planet have been transformed into three-dimensional cities, accommodating billions of people.
There are three rings around the planet, floating outside the atmosphere at far, medium and near points. This ring-shaped planetary space station, which has an extremely high construction cost, is the largest trade port in the Milky Way.
In the viewing area of Minter City, you can see stars that look like they are wearing sunglasses for a few months every year . They are two huge Dyson clouds that continuously send the energy of the stars to the Minter City Spaceport, supplying the entire planet.
The base of the towering buildings in Mingte City maintains a relatively retro street scene. The deputy director in a suit and tie frowned and opened the door of a beverage shop.
The decoration inside the store is very old, and the smell of damp and rotting wood is everywhere. Because it is blocked by high-rise buildings and does not receive much stellar radiation... This does not look like a good place to chat.
The deputy director walked to the corner, where a middle-aged man had already stood up.
Allison, a rising political star in the New Federation four years ago, owns huge shares in several multinational companies and is extremely popular among voters.
The deputy director stepped forward to shake hands with the middle-aged man, forced an ungainly smile, then sat down unceremoniously on the sofa opposite, leaning back with an unhappy look on his face.
"Okay, Congressman, you brought me here in a mysterious way. What on earth do you want to say?"
Allison narrowed his eyes and smiled: "We can make a deal."
"Transaction? What transaction?" The deputy director frowned. "You know who you are talking to, right?"
Allison said slowly, "Of course, the director of the CIA is half a politician and is at risk of being dismissed at any time, but the seven deputy directors are the real power holders. You who control the intelligence system have extremely high power."
"Uh-huh," the deputy director said, "I'm just serving this country."
"That's why I chose to communicate with you," Allison said slowly after arranging his words, "I have a way to deal with the White Ghost. This is not an empty promise."
The deputy director asked, "How did you deal with them? With your amazing ability to accurately predict which political party will come to power? Or with your excellent boxing skills? I have seen the information about you taking down more than a dozen gang members by yourself."
Allison smiled but said nothing: "Before we talk about this method, I think we can discuss the conditions."
"what would you like?"
"All the information about White Ghost," Allison said, "This is also the premise for me to deal with him. In addition, I want to have a long-term cooperation with you. My dream is not to stop at being an ordinary congressman."
The deputy director raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly stood up, and snorted at Allison.
"You are insulting me, Senator Allison. I serve this country, not me."
"White ghosts are also my enemies."
Allison picked up the drink in front of him and drank it slowly:
“I do have a certain degree of precognitive ability, thanks to my insight and the intelligence I obtain.
“But now, the White Ghost is interfering with me. He is constantly active, causing everything in the galaxy to develop in a direction that I cannot foresee.
"The insect plague that shouldn't have happened now was revealed by him two years ago. This surprised me. I didn't expect that the source of the insect plague in the Sherman Empire was actually a man-made disaster. At the same time, I also began to pay attention to this guy.
"I suspect he and I are of the same kind."
"Same kind?" The deputy director frowned slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This is not nonsense," Allison looked up at the deputy director, invisible gas emanating from the buttons on his cuffs, "Sit down."
His voice has a certain inexplicable charm.
The deputy director frowned and sat down, his expression a little dull.
