Chapter 155: Parasite(1/2)
The next morning came as promised.
Xia Lian's biological clock controlled him to slowly open his eyes. He looked to one side, and Mercury was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window looking at the sky.
She looked up from the bottom. She was wearing a pair of tight-fitting skin-colored stockings that outlined her well-proportioned and slender legs. Her thighs followed a graceful arc and then her waistline suddenly tightened, and then...
...there is none left.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Lian asked.
"You asked members of the Kuixing Ship to go to the Destruction Star to investigate. They seemed to be in trouble." Mercury said.
Xia Lian frowned, "What?"
"They used a geological survey ship assembled in York City to explore the extinguished star to see if it was a naturally formed planet.
They explored 10,000 meters underground, but were attacked by a group of unknown creatures."
Xia Lian was silent for a moment, "Are there any casualties?"
"With Helios Field here, it's not a big problem. Those creatures have been captured and contained by us. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Xia Lian nodded slightly, then looked at Mercury up and down, "You change clothes."
Mercury stared at Xia Lian quietly without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lian said with some confusion.
"Your Highness." Mercury couldn't help but say, "I am a cyborg for combat, not a puppet for entertainment. You must use me appropriately."
"I just asked you to change clothes, where do you want to go?" Xia Lian said with some humor, "Or do you want to go out with me dressed like this?"
Mercury fell silent again. Even though her emotions were very slow, she felt an awkward atmosphere at this moment.
After a moment, she lowered her head and whispered.
"You kept asking me to change my clothes last night..."
"I did it for the principality." Xia Lian said seriously.
Mercury raised his head in confusion, "For...the principality?"
"Didn't you say before that there wasn't enough material?"
Xia Lian said, "Think about it, if the emperor finds out that I can enter and leave the palace freely, then I will have no choice but to take back the principality from the reformer in advance.
The emperor would definitely not allow anything beyond his control to exist, so the principality would almost certainly be lost to the public.
Think about it, can the principality withstand the attack of the entire empire?"
Mercury thought for a moment and nodded.
"So, you had so many strange ideas last night just to provide as much material as possible?"
"That's right." Xia Lian nodded seriously.
"I have been racking my brains for a long time to come up with different tricks, but I didn't expect you to think that I am that kind of person." He said sadly.
Mercury lowered his head, "I'm sorry."
Xia Lian was speechless for a moment as he looked at Mercury who really believed his nonsense.
Mercury is good at everything, but sometimes he is too obedient.
People's desires are endless. After earning one hundred million, they will think about earning another one hundred million. Her way of taking and asking for everything made Xia Lian a little bit unable to stop.
Especially since she always looks at you with an innocent and calm look every day, this makes Xia Lian even more impulsive and always wants to see her expression other than this one.
In fact, he saw quite a few last night.
"Are you really a combat cyborg?" Xia Lian said with a deep look.
Mercury tilted his head in confusion, but still said: "I'm sure of this. What do you want to express?"
"without."
Xia Lian held back what he wanted to say and continued to ask.
"However, the pictures you made for them before probably didn't show any important parts, right?"
"You have reminded me before that I pay great attention to the angles and many of the pictures are blocked by quilts," said Mercury.
Xia Lian nodded.
Then, mercury began to manipulate the changes of micron nanons and covered its body again.
Xia Lian also controlled micronano particles to cover his body, and then he continued.
"Come with me."
He and Mercury walked to the elevator that led directly to the presidential suite and walked to the hotel restaurant.
Over at the palace, he has sent a reformer to disguise himself as himself. Perhaps many people have forgotten it.
There were actually three cyborgs who came to Star Destruction with Xia Lian, one was Mercury, the other was Mithril, and there was a male cyborg named Orichalcum.
It has been protecting Einstein and others in the past, but now the situation in the eternal night frozen soil is basically stable, and the quantum teleportation device can basically teleport Einstein and others back at any time.
Therefore, Xia Lian arranged for him to operate in the palace, and also test whether his plan was feasible and whether the other reformers would discover his abnormality.
All active members in this galaxy basically live in this hotel, which facilitates unified arrangements.
So there are still many people in the restaurant having breakfast at the moment.
Xia Lian saw Tianhai almost at first sight. He was enjoying the breakfast prepared in the restaurant.
The food in York City is still very sufficient. As a city with millions of people, all resources are proportioned at this level.
Moreover, the world background of York City has not gone through epochs, and many of the foods are very orthodox foods on earth. Xia Lian even saw soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Xia Lian has never been to the Paradise, but judging from the productivity and climate conditions there, it is estimated that it will be three days full and three days hungry.
Therefore, when faced with such rich food, even though Tianhai is already in his seventies, his eating behavior can still be described as wolfing down.
"How does it feel?"
The voice coming from one side startled Tianhai. He turned his head to look at the person, swallowed the crushed fried dough sticks in his mouth, and nodded to him and performed a basic etiquette.
"Xia Shen Envoy."
Then, he came back to his senses and looked at the food in his hands.
"Is this food for God?"
"Absolutely." Xia Lian said.
"It's so delicious." Tianhai smiled awkwardly but politely.
He wiped his once shiny mouth with his hand, and then tried to wipe his hands with his clothes.
"There are tissues next to you," Xia Lianda said.
"tissue?"
Tianhai looked at the paper on one side and pulled out a piece of paper. Paradise also had such a thing, but it was much rougher. The whiteness and softness of the paper were beyond his imagination.
But after the initial shock, his ability to accept it was now very strong. He calmly wiped his mouth and hands with paper.
"If Sparrowhawk came here, he would probably pay homage to everything he saw." Tianhai said with emotion.
"You seemed to be cursing your friend just now." Xia Lian teased.
"If I had known that the afterlife would be like this, I would have died earlier. Why would I still be suffering in such a place?" Tianhai said.
"But in fact, it is precisely because of the suffering you have suffered that you have the opportunity to enter the afterlife." Xia Lian said.
Tianhai nodded, "There is also a proverb in Paradise, which says that no matter how much you lose, you will always gain."
"A group of heroic spirits are going to the frozen soil today. Do you want to go with them? Of course, you can come back at any time." Xia Lian said.
"Of course." Tianhai said.
"I thought you would play here for a while." Xia Liandao, "This hotel is just an insignificant corner of the entire afterlife."
"I think so too, but my friends need me, don't they?" Tianhai said with a smile, "Besides, I think I will have a lot of time when everything is over."
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Then I wish you a good time and prepare well. The next battle may be fierce."
Tianhai nodded.
Then, Xia Lian followed Mercury and left the hotel, using the portal to teleport to the biology laboratory.
He arrived at the underground floor of the biological laboratory, where Wang Zhen and others, including Xia Sha, were waiting.
As soon as he entered, Xia Lian's realization was attracted by what was locked in the glass observation cabin in front of him.
It was a thing that looked like a sloth, at least about three meters tall, especially its pair of sharp claws, which seemed to be able to tear into pieces many things.
At this moment, it is bound by the chain formed by photons, but its eyes are still fierce.
"Is this a modified creature of the resistance?" Xia Lian asked Xia Sha.
Xia Sha shook her head, "I checked the base's data, and there is no such thing, and there are no traces of transformation on the body.
It was found 10,000 meters underground in the Destruction Star. It is a huge underground cave. According to our scans, there are many such things in it."
