Ch26 - Heart-to-Heart

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Cecil staring at him, Zhou Mian couldn’t help but wonder.

Cecil said, “Next time, don’t look at people like that.”

“…”

The two of them were lying on the sand, and this little satellite planet happened to be able to see the moon, twinkling.

“I heard that the moon is as big as a human being.” Zhou Mian smiled and said, “The moon has always existed since the ancient earth had people. The ancient earth’s poems often had the moon in it. It remains unchanged.”

Cecil gave a “um”, as if he was sighing, “Some things will never change.”

After the atmosphere was quiet, and he somehow felt a little embarrassed, so Zhou Mian found a topic: “How are the marshal and his wife now?”

Cecil paused for a while, then leaned on his arm and said, “It’s like that anyway. They didn’t come to me, and I didn’t go to them either.”

Cecil had been separated from his parents for sixteen years. Afterwards, there was a younger brother in the way, so though the feelings were naturally there, but as to how deep it was, was something to be considered.

Zhou Mian said softly, “You…haven’t you thought about taking the initiative?”

“No. Why did you suddenly mention this?”

Zhou Mian was silent, as if considering whether to say it or not.

“What are you hiding from me?” Cecil raised his eyebrows and said, “Huh?”

Zhou Mian was crushed by Cecil’s intimidating aura, and said helplessly: “I didn’t say I wanted to hide it from you. It’s just… Yesterday the marshal chatted with me privately through his terminal , saying that he wanted me to persuade you not to get angry with them, your mother is… quite uncomfortable now.”

Cecil’s expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, “Have they been looking for you?”

They actually went past him and found Zhou Mian without authorization…

Cecil had a feeling that his territory was being violated, which made him quite unhappy.

“This…they are also very anxious.” Zhou Mian could hear the emotion from the indifferent tone of the man, and knew that this time they were really going to have a hard time.

Cecil snorted coldly and said, “If it were you, would you forgive me without any hesitation?”

Zhou Mian paused and said, “I can.”

Cecil turned his head in surprise.

He knew that Zhou Mian and he were both generals, and they were never the kind of people who had the kindness of women, and they could even make the decision to sacrifice others decisively, but why…

Zhou Mian chuckled and said, “In this regard… If it’s the Zhou family, I think I can, but I’m not sure because I don’t have a chance.”

“I…I don’t have any relatives now.” Zhou Mian lowered her eyes and said, “So if there is, I will cherish them.”

Cecil was silent. Zhou Mian still had a smile on his face at the moment, and his tone was very light, Cecil stretched out his hand as if he had been intoxicated, and rubbed the top of Zhou Mian’s hair. “We are also relatives now. If you encounter any difficulties, I will definitely help you and protect you.” Zhou Mian was stunned.

Cecil in front of him suddenly overlapped with a small figure.

——I am your relative! I will cover you from now on, you are not allowed to cry!

——You call me brother, I will protect you.

Zhou Mian looked at Cecil in a trance.

“Then tell me about you.” Cecil smiled. “You said you were the adopted child of the Zhou family? What’s going on?”

Zhou Mian said, “I lost my childhood memories.”

Cecil raised an eyebrow slightly. “I don’t know how I lost it. Ever since I had memory and consciousness, I have lived in the Glacier’s Sunset Desolate Star. The residents there said that I was seriously injured and fell into the wilderness, and they picked me up for treatment. After that, I worked in a bakery, helping people in the city and repaying them for saving my life.”

Zhou Mian smiled and said, “I learned a lot of craftsmanship at the bakery.” The Sunset Desolate Star …

Cecil thought for a while, and said unsurely, “It’s the blood of the setting sun…”

“Hm.”

Zhou Mian didn’t deliberately avoid the topic, just lowered his eyes and said, “It’s one of the cities that was in the blood time of the setting sun.”The “Blood of the Setting Sun” is one of the most tragic strikes in the history of the Glacier.

In the 133rd year of the Gregorian calendar, the Zerg aggressively attacked and plundered from the Glacier Frontier, that is, these desolate stars, and they suffered heavy losses and looting.

“Sunset City was destroyed by pirates. At that time, I survived. Marshal Zhou saw that I was pitiful and took me back.” From then on, Zhou Mian learned to lead troops to fight with Marshal Zhou and became today’s General Zhou.

The Zhou family had such an existence to Zhou Mian, he didn’t say it, but this might be the only light in his memory.

The other light is the blurred figure.

Cecil didn’t know what to say for a while.

Zhou Mian’s past was not as light and easy the way he said it, and many painful details were just omitted by him.

“DiDi.”

Cecil was about to say something when a faint voice sounded, pulling back the thoughts of the two of them that were flying farther and farther.

Zhou Mian looked at the heat detector in one hand, and subconsciously reached out and covered Cecil’s mouth with the other.

coming……!

There is an aircraft heading towards B6, probably it is their prey.

Zhou Mian looked at the small screen on the detector.

One, two, three…

Five small aircraft came from the southwest, and three large aircraft came from the northeast.

Zhou Mian looked at the shape and speculated: “The small flying machine is from the royal family, can hold about 15 people, and the big flying machine is from the Zerg, has about 5 to 10 seats.”

Cecil nodded and said, “Not much.” Yes, after all, it’s not a war, it’s just a secret joint exchange.

It was determined that it was their target, and Zhou Mian immediately sent a signal to Chris, asking the reinforcements from B5 to come quickly.

The enemy also has thermal energy detectors. In order to avoid spooking the snake, the reinforcements can only lurk in B5, so it will take around 20 minutes to pass through the portal shortcut.

Cecil and Zhou Mian’s aircraft were also destroyed on the spot to avoid detection.

Therefore, the two of them had no way to retreat and could only wait for reinforcements.

But the two are not worried, the Zerg and the royal family need to count the amount of goods and money, and it is not a problem to drag it for 20 minutes.

“Crash—” All the aircrafts landed.

Zhou Mian and Cecil lurked behind the stone, wearing a thermal dissipator that prevented detection. The heat dissipated by people was not as great as an aircraft, and the opposite side would not detect it.

“Long time no see, hope this time we’ve got enough, right?”

The one who stepped down from the aircraft was Prince An Dou of the Glacier Royal Family, the younger brother of the current king.

And the rest are the royal army he brought for self-defense.

Cecil licked his lower lip.

Big fish, that’s the king’s younger brother.

Zhou Mian frowned slightly.

On the other side, a Zerg also came down with a guard.

The man with the upper part of his body being human and the lower part of his body a worm is three times bigger than the average human.

This is the advantage of the Zerg. They are huge in size and can emit poisonous insect liquid, so the number of guards they brought this time is not so many.

Humans always suffer in front of the Zerg.

“This time, the Hong Luoluo is enough.”

The Zerg connector asked people to carry several boxes from the aircraft.

Zhou Mian looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous aura on his body became a little heavier.

There are at least ten boxes, so many Hong Luoluo… How much poison can be created from this, and how many people can they harm?

Prince An Dou hummed, “But how did I hear that there are twenty boxes in Chi Ying?”

“It’s all rumors. The Zerg attaches great importance to the transaction with Glacier.” Prince An Dou’s face froze.

Zhou Mian and Cecil looked at each other in dismay.

Chi Ying is the head of pirates, and the prince refers to the pirates when saying this. At the beginning, the Glacier Royal Family was introduced by pirates to get in touch with the Zerg, and got the Hong Luoluo.

But now it sounds like the pirates have broken up their relations with Glacier? Moreover the two parties are still rushing to do business with the Zerg?

“What about the thing that our master wants?” The connector laughed and said :”There is one more thing that you didn’t bring.”

” Brought it.”

An Dou had someone escort a woman off the aircraft.

Zhou Mian’s eyes widened.

Looking at the clothes, that woman was an ordinary person from Glacier, who was tied and pressed to the ground at the moment.

“Not bad. It’s pretty, and our master will be satisfied with this one.” The connector looked at the woman and said, “Then… pay with one hand, and deliver with the other.”

The two parties began to exchange goods, opened the boxes and settled them one by one. An Dou looked at the red plants in those boxes, his both eyes glowing.

And Cecil couldn’t stop shaking his head when he saw the star coins brought by the royal family from behind. There are ten minutes left.

Enough!

“Ah…!”

At this moment, the woman was dragged aside by the connector and ripped open her clothes.

The woman kept crying: “Save me! Save me—! Let me go! Your Highness An Dou, please…!”

The woman’s screams were not exchanged for sympathy, instead the rest of the Zerg became more and more excited.

Oops……!

Zhou Mian took a deep breath, this woman he was afraid will be ruined before even boarding their aircraft!

Can’t wait for reinforcements!

Zhou Mian turned his head to hint Cecil with his eyes.

They have to save that girl!

Cecil held Zhou Mian’s hand and mouthed: Trust me.

Zhou Mian nodded.

This is the first time they will fight side by side like this. Before, there were only a few Zerg in that small room, but this is a barren star, and the number of enemies on the opposite side should not be underestimated.

The two who were hostile on the battlefield in the past must now turn their backs over to each other.

Ten minutes.
