(Yi Zui is just rambling. I really haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I haven't updated it. But Yi Zui remembers that as of today, I still owe you eight chapters. It will definitely be updated before a month. Don't worry.)
When Sheryl thought that Xiao Ran was going back to Earth, it was as if Xiao Ran was leaving forever. He couldn't help but feel his heart tightening. He was silent for a while and then asked softly, "Can't you stay?"
"No." Xiao Ran shook his head. Entering a world is inevitable, leaving a world is certain. Xiao Ran had already been prepared in his heart. He didn't want to stay when he was in SEED World, but he knew very well that this was an impossible thing.
After seeing the fleeting loneliness on Sheryl's face, Xiao Ran also sighed slightly, "If I could, I wouldn't want to leave, but this matter is beyond my control at all."
Sheryl stretched out his hand to smooth his hair, looked at Xiao Ran and groaned softly. "Well, it's not the Earth. Anyway, the Galalxy fleet is gone now, and my home is gone. At worst, I will go back to the Earth with you."
As he said that, Sheryl looked at Xiao Ran fiercely. "If I go to Earth, you will have to take care of me for everything!"
Xiao Ran only felt that his heart was a little complicated, and it was so complicated that his expression was exactly the same. "But I am not going back to the earth, but I am going to a farther and more dangerous place, and I will never even be able to come back."
Sheryl was puzzled. "Is it a border planet? Do you have other missions?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and sighed slightly, "Sheryl, I really can't tell you where I'm going right now, but I can tell you that that place may be very dangerous. You are often asked to do dangerous things, and there is no way to refuse. I want to take you away, but I am afraid that one day I will die in the process of doing things, leaving you alone. I am also afraid that I cannot take good care of you and let you encounter danger."
Xiao Ran reached out and gently covered Sheryl's mouth, shaking his head to indicate to the other party to wait for him to finish. "I selfishly want to take you away. I hope you can stay with me and accompany me to go through mission after mission and experience countless battles. Life and death are often on a thin line. I have not considered your feelings at all, and I don't even know whether you are willing to leave me."
"And now I feel that for a girl like you, I should live in a peaceful place, singing the songs I like to sing, doing what I like to do, and being welcomed and admired by countless people. This is your life. Where I am going, no one knows you, and I am just the most ordinary and simple one among them. There is no spotlight, no peaceful life, and life may not belong to me anymore..."
"Sheryl..." Xiao Ran looked at Sheryl seriously and asked, "Even so, are you willing to continue to like me, be with me, and leave here together?"
Sheryl showed a faint smile, reached out and gently touched Xiao Ran's face. "Don't brag, I am Sheryl, the singer of the Milky Way, Your Highness, so what if there are some dangers? After so much, do you think I will still be afraid of fighting? Although I can't fly a fighter plane, I can sing, and my singing can convey my power to you. Doesn't this mean that I am fighting with you?"
"Do you think that at this time, I will watch you leave me forever and lose your life in some unknown corner of the universe?" Sheryl stood up, bent slightly and lowered his head in front of Xiao Ran: "Do you want to lose my heart after you have stolen it? The person who dropped me? Let me tell you, nothing in this world is that simple. No matter where you go, you must take me with you. If you go quietly alone, I will find you even if I search the whole universe, and then slap you hard to tell you that my feelings, Sheryl, are definitely not that cheap!"
"Idiot." Xiao Ran pursed his lips, held Sheryl firmly in his arms, and put his head deeply into the other's beautiful long hair. "The place I am going to is really dangerous!"
"So what if it's dangerous, haven't we experienced more dangers together before?" Sheryl also reached out and hugged Xiao Ran, his eyes full of determination. "I also believe that as long as you are here, you will be able to ensure my safety."
"Yes... I have the ability to ensure your safety." Xiao Ran replied softly, raising his head and looking at Sheryl. The suppressed and controlled emotions could no longer be suppressed. The two people's eyes looked at each other, the most sincere and direct emotions of the two people converged, and finally their lips slowly closed together.
Before dawn the next day, Xiao Ran woke up and looked at Sheryl curled up in his arms with a trace of tears on his face. Recalling what happened to the two of them before, he couldn't help but show a very proud smile. He stood up gently and covered Sheryl with the quilt. Xiao Ran took a shower, put on clothes and quietly walked out of the room.
After Xiao Ran closed the door, Sheryl, who was lying on the boat, also slowly opened his eyes, covered the quilt tightly and looked at the closed door. His face turned red and he cursed lightly, "Idiot."
Time passed slowly for a few days. It took the stopped fleet three full days to clean up the battlefield and recover everything that could be recycled and broken down into corresponding elements or used for other purposes. This was also a common practice for such open fleets.
In the past few days, the battle in which bugs appeared and prevented the fleet from being destroyed has been mentioned repeatedly throughout 25th Fleet. Civilians have seen the friendly side of bugs, and coupled with the public opinion bias of the government and various experts, they have easily accepted the statement that bugs are friendly. They have no objection to the fact that the fleet will soon go to a planet with charming scenery to settle with bugs.
All relevant records of Lanka and Sheryl's resonance with the Insect Queen were also sent to President Glass's desk. Sheryl's latest physical examination report seems to also illustrate what Xiao Ran said before. It can be considered that ordinary people have the same power to communicate with insects as Lanka.
Based on this record and the physical examination report of Sheryl, hundreds of experimenters were quickly selected for the experiment. Billy and Moses were two of them, and they were also the first two people to sign up completely voluntarily. During the experiment, these one hundred experimenters were artificially infected with V bacteria, and at the moment of Xiao Ran Without Sheryl's participation, Lanka alone used unscientific methods that were completely incomprehensible to countless scientists and medical scientists to make these one hundred people truly fuse the V bacteria and become people with the same power as Lanka.
Although these one hundred experimenters are completely unable to reach the heights of Lanka or Sheryl, not even 1%, success speaks for itself, and this method will not cause the situation in the Grey silk plan. There is no secret for everyone's Mental Link together. Everyone is still completely independent and equally equal.
The success of the experiment gave the 25th Fleet government more confidence. Large-scale popularization was only a matter of time. Of course, Lanka's health also had to be taken into consideration. The one hundred experimenters alone were already Lanka so tired that they almost collapsed, and it took them a few days to recover.
For this reason, Ozma also complained to Xiao Ran many times, saying that Xiao Ran was too partial and would not let Sheryl go and insisted on letting Lanka go. Ozma Although complained about Xiao Ran, he never blamed Xiao Ran for anything. On the contrary, Brera and Art often had bad expressions when they saw Xiao Ran.
And Xiao Ran also deliberately delayed the time for the fleet to go to the insect home planet. The participants of Bug Faction had already left this world after the mission was completed. Although the other participants of Fleet Faction were anxious, they had no choice. Until now, they are still on the landing ship and cannot even enter the main island.
While delaying time, Xiao Ran also wanted Sheryl, who was already determined to leave her, to experience the world and leave her some more memories. At the same time, it also gave LAI and Fleet Government more time to study Lightning Aegis. Originally, this work was carried out by LAI alone, but Xiao Ran let Fleet Government also join in, which would not let the government curb the development of LAI. Otherwise, if more advanced technology is obtained by a military industrial enterprise, Fleet Government will be disadvantaged by such technology. President Glass has always been very Special Treatment to him, and of course he is not willing to let such a thing happen.
It took a full month before the ship group started to sail Space Jump to Bug homeworld. Within a month, Lightning Aegis was completely destroyed by Fleet Government and L AI thoroughly analyzed it and obtained VPS Armor, MA, MS deformation technology, small beam weapon restraint technology, etc. from it, which made LAI and Fleet Government's favor towards Xiao Ran rise again.
President Glass even talked to Xiao Ran, hoping that Xiao Ran could continue to stay in the ship group, and even said in a roundabout way that he was willing to let Xiao Ran take over as the next As for Great President, Xiao Ran did not refuse but did not agree. He just said that he still had a task to complete, and it might not take long to come back by then. And if Great President still had this intention, he would be willing to join the ship.
The reason why Xiao Ran said that was entirely because he knew that he would definitely get another Ultimate Mission Card this time, which would directly and significantly change the original trend of the world, and allow humans and insects to achieve symbiosis in a peaceful way. If Ultimate Mission Card Xiao Ran didn't have such openness, he would feel strange. There might be a chance to come back in the future, so he left a way out for himself and didn't refuse President Glass.
After the fleet landed in a large inland lake surrounded by countless insects, Xiao Ran and Sheryl held hands and looked at the shouts and cheers of countless people in the fleet. They also looked at each other and laughed.
Sheryl asked, "The fleet has arrived. When will we leave?"
Listening to the voice popping up in his mind, Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "Almost."
