Chapter 389 Abnormal Love
Daphne was wearing a light blue dress, like a tulip exuding elegance.
She stared at Yang Ming who was staggering towards her with a cold face.
The air pressure here was so low that the maids didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
When Yang Ming came closer, Daphne folded her arms, leaned against the door frame, and looked up at Yang Ming's face.
"Does the deputy director know how to come back?"
"Hmm?" Yang Ming laughed. "I was busy with official duties and worked overtime yesterday."
Daphne stared at Yang Ming, and Yang Ming smiled apologetically.
The maid's earrings recorded this scene, turned it into a message, and sent it to an unknown place.
Daphne did not get angry and said calmly: "It's good that you remembered to come back. The heroes of the empire don't have to care about a singer like me."
"Don't say that. You are a national idol. Come in and talk. Come in and talk."
Yang Ming walked forward with a smile and took the initiative to pull Daphne's arm. Daphne struggled slightly, but found that she couldn't get free, so she could only let him hold her.
At that moment, her expression was a mixture of grievance, depression, helplessness and compromise.
After the door is closed, turn on the shielding equipment behind the door.
Yang Ming let go of Daphne's arm and raised an eyebrow at her: "Your acting skills have improved."
"Thank you," Daphne followed with her arms folded, "I recently started to get involved in the film and television industry, and I just happened to learn how to act."
"Instead of singing, you became an actor?"
"Of course not. Thanks to you, I am now able to intervene in some family affairs. The Empire's Broadcasting Bureau and Propaganda Agency are now supervised by me, which is equivalent to the third in command."
Daphne smiled a little, then hid it and said calmly:
"Asking me to play someone else is something I cannot accept, especially if I have to have physical contact or kissing scenes with male actors... I have to consider your feelings, White Ghost."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Didn't we agree not to interfere with each other's lives? I have never asked about your feelings, right?"
"If I go to shoot a kissing scene, your fans will tear me apart," Daphne sneered.
They sat down on the sofa beside the bed.
Daphne stared at Yang Ming, who looked somewhat tired.
"I came here this time because I have a few things to talk to you about," Daphne took out an e-cigarette and lit it up for herself with familiar movements. The smoke she blew out had a slightly psychedelic scent.
Yang Ming motioned for her to speak directly.
Daphne said, "One is that I'm going to have a physical examination soon, and my hormone secretion level doesn't seem like I have been having sex for a long time."
Yang Ming shrugged slightly: "You can handle it yourself, right?"
"This is a small matter, and it can be solved with a few capsules," Daphne said calmly, "but this examination is in preparation for marriage. My great uncle means that we should get married."
Yang Ming leaned back on the sofa, pondering for a moment.
"You should have known about the upcoming insect swarm."
"Well, you've made such a big deal out of this in the past few months, I think it would be hard for me not to know."
Daphne said:
"The latest news from the exploration ship sent by the Empire is that the number of Zerg this time is very terrifying. They have gathered into six large swarms. According to calculations, the areas where two of the swarms are located should be intended to jump into the Empire.
"Granduncle Ino asked you to go to the Imperial Star in the near future. You need to make a detailed report on this matter. You are the natural enemy of the Zerg, right?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "I can only deal with the fifth-order insect swarm."
Daphne whispered, "Their idea is to use you as bait to lure the Queen into the encirclement."
Yang Ming hesitated for a moment.
"Of course, you will definitely be involved in formulating the specific battle plan," Daphne said. "Your transfer to the military industry system has been postponed for the time being. This war between humans and Zerg is very critical. You have the opportunity to become a hero for all mankind."
Yang Ming smiled without comment.
He said slowly: "You know what I want. Being a hero or not is actually meaningless. I can't fight so many bugs alone. This is a war between races and civilizations."
"Yes, please arrange your time and set off as soon as possible."
Daphne's eyes suddenly brightened. She stared into Yang Ming's eyes and asked softly, "You knew a long time ago that the insect swarm was about to break out, right?"
Yang Ming spread his hands and said, "I just had this dream recently."
"Really?" Daphne asked. "My great uncle said that according to historical records, before such a large insect tide breaks out, the Faya people will use some means to warn us. The empire has received four similar warnings, but this time, strangely, the warning came from you."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that my relationship with the Fayya people may be more familiar than your relationship with the Fayya people? I am a double experimental material."
"Okay," Daphne said, "I'll reply to my great uncle."
"Anything else?" Yang Ming asked, "I'm a little sleepy."
"Your lover, I mean, the senior agent," Daphne whispered. "I sent people to investigate her, but the people in the Tentacle Organization couldn't track her down. She came and went without a trace. This is very abnormal, isn't it?"
"You've already said it, Senior Agent," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I dared her to appear near the Military Intelligence Agency base. Can't I send her away?"
Daphne nodded slightly:
“That’s true, but it’s a bit excessive.
"You should let the higher-ups know where she is, so they can be more confident in you.
"I recently sat in on two family meetings, and half of the people were dissatisfied with you. They felt that you were too ostentatious, and your prestige among the people was still rising. Even the New Federation established a religion based on your beliefs, and it is developing very rapidly.
"The Sherman family doesn't need a god, especially not a god that could get out of control at any time."
Yang Ming asked: "Is this what Director Ino said?"
"I summarized what the elders said," Daphne sighed. "They can't see through you. This is the most troublesome thing. There are too many things hidden in you. You are extremely mysterious in their eyes."
Yang Ming remained silent: "I can't hand over my team now. You know, I have to wait until the Forerunner's mission is settled."
"I understand. Great-Uncle Ino said the same thing."
Daphne nodded, turned off the e-cigarette, and said softly:
"There's nothing else. I can help you with that. I also want to inform you to go to the Imperial Star as soon as possible. Let me know when you've set a time."
"Just these two days," Yang Ming said, "You come with me and you decide the itinerary."
"Okay, I'll cancel the rest of the show... I'll go wash up, do you want to rest here for a while?"
"Of course. I'm terribly sleepy right now."
Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand, yawned, walked to the big bed, and lay down on his side.
He was indeed a little sleepy. He had not had a good rest for dozens of galaxies in a row. He was busy with the insect prevention arrangements at Luo Feng's side.
Yang Ming was just beginning to feel dazed when he heard soft footsteps. The quilt on the other side was lifted, and the beautiful princess was lying on her side with her back to him, as she had often done in the past two years.
"Good night," Yang Ming said.
A rustling sound suddenly occurred, which was the sound of smooth skin rubbing against soft thin blanket.
A palm touched Yang Ming's arm, followed by a slender arm.
She hugged him from behind.
"May I?"
Daphne asked in a low voice.
"Yeah," Yang Ming responded without saying much, and soon a faint snoring sound came from the tip of his nose.
Daphne smiled softly and carefully placed her legs around Yang Ming's knees. She was naked and had a somewhat intoxicated expression on her face, with her forehead resting on Yang Ming's neck.
"Good night, darling."
…
“Hoo, hoo.”
Dongfeng, the fitness area in the corner of the bridge.
026, wearing a sports vest and tights, was pushing and pulling the weight bar rhythmically, with a faint light flashing on the mechanical spine behind her. Although she still had thin arms and legs, she already possessed strength that ordinary cyborgs could not achieve.
If you follow Boss Gushen, you must become stronger.
"Captain's wife has arrived at the bridge!"
The voice of Lu's report came from the side. 026 paused and looked up at Mimili who was yawning.
026 chuckled and stopped exercising. A mischievous smile appeared on his round face, which looked even cuter than it had been a dozen years ago.
"You're back!"
"Well," Mimili sat dejectedly in the massage chair beside her, pressed a few buttons, and began to enjoy the muscle relaxation.
She muttered, "How come uncle has such strong endurance!"
"You're not even a modified body, that's pretty good," 026 encouraged , "Where are you going next? I'll take you there."
Mimi Li smiled and said, "Madam First Mate, isn't it your job to manage Sakaar? Driving the Dongfeng around every day is suspicious of dereliction of duty."
"Everything is normal on Saka. Hanxiang and Hanyin are assisting Governor Godoy and are making things very prosperous. The population has expanded to over 40 million. I am just holding the title of supervisor."
026 puffed up the corners of his mouth:
"Recently, I want to go back to Yilando Star. I miss my old friends a little bit."
"Then ask for leave and go back."
"The boss won't approve my leave. Xiaolu said that this is an extraordinary period and we need to actively prepare for war and be ready to face the insect swarm. The Falling Wind Alliance is being too arrogant right now."
Mimi Li's mouth twitched slightly: "Are you serious?"
"uh-huh?"
"In terms of average firepower density, the Falling Wind Alliance should be one of the top three regions in the Milky Way, right? Do you think I haven't been there in the past two years?"
Mimily rolled her eyes and snorted:
"Explain to me where those 600,000 self-propelled suspension cannons near Ilando came from! And the planetary cannon reconstruction project of Ilando, the naval cannon upgrade project of the Luofeng main fleet, you have upgraded all the small boats of the local defense forces into reconnaissance and strike multi-UAV control platforms!
"If you hadn't yet developed dreadnoughts and stellar cannons, I would have thought you were planning to attack the Sherman Empire in a few years!"
"Hehehe," 026 blinked.
It seems that even Miss Mimili doesn't know about the "Dark Star Clone" plan outside the territory of the Luofeng Alliance.
Because Luofeng suffered tremendous pressure in the past few years, Xiaolu divided the Dark Star into two. The visible Dark Star is still embedded in the territory of Luofeng Empire. New bases have been opened near each administrative star, becoming a hidden force with eleven "mechanical thinking administrative stars". In fact, they have also established several base groups in the neighboring star fields that have not yet been cultivated by humans.
The speed at which mechanical civilization grows depends on the production efficiency of mechanical automatic production lines.
This is completely different from the initial 'difficult' development of Dark Star.
Now, the Dark City, which cultivates thinking bodies, already has cities No. 2 and No. 3.
"It's not that we can't fight," 026 muttered quietly, "It's mainly because dreadnoughts are too difficult to build, and there's no relevant technology to replace them. The resources required to build each dreadnought exceed those of a fleet of 100 conventional ships. Its firepower is indeed very strong, but it's mainly offensive, not defensive. With that kind of resources, it's better to build more planetary cannons in the Luofeng Empire."
Mimi Li sighed: "I really don't understand what uncle is going to do, just look."
"What are you looking at?"
“My uncle is now a hero of the Sherman Empire, commanding enormous public opinion and fame, which are his political resources.
"Uncle secretly controlled Dark Star, a terrifying pure mechanical civilization, and let Dark Star secretly support the development of the Falling Wind Alliance. The Falling Wind Alliance has now swallowed up more than 20 political systems. The military and political systems of each political system are firmly controlled by machines, and the external propaganda is that it is an economic alliance.
"The Falling Wind Alliance can already be considered one of the top 30 militaries in the Milky Way, right?"
Mimi Li tutted her words, "Give him some more time, will he develop into one of the top five powerful forces in the galaxy?"
"We can't defeat the four big gangsters with our current military strength, but we should have no problem dealing with the others," 026 whispered, "but the problem is that the Dark Star cannot be seen in the light now, and it may not appear in the light in the future. The boss's plan is to develop the Dark Star into a giant blade, but this giant blade should not be used if it can be used. In the future, it would be best to let it upgrade directly and develop in a higher-dimensional space."
"Machines are so wonderful," Mimily exclaimed, "After my father dies, I will definitely transform myself into a mechanical thinking being!"
026:……
"The boss will be sad."
"No," Mimili said calmly, "I have control over my own body. If I become a mechanical thinking body, can't I bring him happiness?"
“Ah, this!”
"Your thinking is too narrow," Mimili said calmly, "The human body is already far behind, we must take decisive steps to evolve!"
026 gave a thumbs up and was about to flatter Mimili when he heard Lu's voice from the side:
"Stop chatting, both of you! The latest situation! The boss is going to Emperor Star soon, and the Dongfeng will follow as an escort. Let's send Mimili back to Luofeng first and then rush back!"
Mimili jumped up and said, "No, I can go back by myself."
"No," Lu's projection appeared at the side, "You are the temporary boss lady. If something happens to you, the boss will overthrow the empire. Now is far from the time to confront them."
Mimili rolled her eyes and said, "I don't like the term 'temporary boss lady'. Besides, work is work and private life is private life. Don't mix the two."
026 nodded in agreement: "What you said is right!"
Mimili gritted her teeth and pounced on him, but 026 dodged nimbly. The two of them chased and played with each other, filling the bridge with laughter.
Lu raised his hand to his forehead and shook his head helplessly.
It really is.
It is really a luxury to expect humans to remain mature and rational. They are not as mature and stable as she is.
…
Imperial Star, dimensional laboratory.
Director Ino threw the form in his hand onto the table, frowned and let out a sigh.
Still no new data.
The door that had been opened a crack before seemed to have closed again recently.
"Director," a man in a white coat stepped forward and whispered in Director Ino's ear, "The White Ghosts are preparing to come to the Imperial Star. They will probably arrive tomorrow morning."
"Yeah," Director Ino nodded, a hint of thought flashed across his eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on his thigh.
Director Ino smiled and said, "This guy is quite honest. He hasn't done anything tricky in the past two or three years. Tell him to go directly to the palace to pay a visit to His Majesty. I will also go there tomorrow."
"yes."
