Chapter 55 - I'll always need you

Shen Jingheng struggled for a moment, and finally compromised with Chu Yu.

"Even if I don't believe you, will you still insist on exploring?" Shen Jingheng turned around in a complicated mood, not wanting to look at Chu Yu's breathtaking eyes again.

"Yes."

A complete declarative sentence.

Shen Jingheng didn't want to ask how much weight he could have in Chu Yu's heart. It seems that in the face of human life and death, his little love is out of place.

"Then what else do you need to ask me?" Shen Jingheng laughed at himself and walked to the sleeping pod, "Let's do it, for now, I'm going to rest."

Chu Yu looked at Shen Jingheng's back, was silent for a moment, and returned to his sleeping pod.

There is no difference between day and night on the battleship, as long as the lights are turned off, the entire cabin is plunged into darkness.

Shen Jingheng tossed and turned in the sleeping pod, unable to fall asleep listening to his clear heartbeat.

He stared into the void of darkness with his eyes open. Finally, there was a sigh from the darkness, and there was no more movement.

——

The next day.

When Shen Jingheng rested and appeared in the cockpit, he saw Chu Yu sitting upright in the pilot's seat.

With a move in his heart, he stepped forward and hugged Chu Yu from behind, put his head on Chu Yu's shoulder, and said softly in Chu Yu's ear, "I'll go with you."

Chu Yu nodded, reached out and rubbed Shen Jingheng's hair: "Sorry for making you make such a difficult decision."

Shen Jingheng tilted his head and gently kissed Chu Yu's earlobe: "I just don't want to make myself regret...I don't want to lose you."

Chu Yu said: "Take the jade flute, blow it when you are in danger, and I will arrive in time."

Shen Jingheng took out the jade flute from his pocket, only to find that the small jade flute was tied with a braided rope, just enough to be worn around the neck.

"Then you wear this, and I'll go save you." Shen Jingheng said that he was about to put the jade flute on Chu Yu's neck.

Chu Yu didn't stop Shen Jingheng, but just looked at him calmly.

"I know, even if you are in danger, you won't blow it." Shen Jingheng gently stroked the warm jade flute with his thumb, without looking at Chu Yu, "but I still hope...you can have that one time that you need me."

After speaking, Shen Jingheng smiled: "Let's go."

——————

The two set up the route back to the ore star, and after making all preparations for landing, one sat in the pilot's seat and the other sat in the co-pilot, without speaking.

The route shows that the battleship is getting closer and closer to the ore star.

Just when the battleship finally landed steadily on the ground, Chu Yu finally spoke.

"I've always needed you."

Shen Jingheng turned his head to look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu had already put on all the equipment to land on the ore star, and did not give Shen Jingheng any time to think upon these words.

Shen Jingheng looked at his back, put on his equipment, and followed.

No amount of words is meaningful at this moment. Now that you have made a decision, let’s move forward bravely.

The purpose of this time is obviously different from the previous ones. In the first two times, they avoided the bugs. This time, in order to verify whether Chu Yu could really control the bugs, the mission goal of the two was to actively search for the bugs.

But the unexpected happened...

They didn't encounter a single bug this time.

It was as if the Zerg had disappeared from the planet.

The two walked a long way, but still did not find a single insect, not even a trace of Zerg activity.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. The two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces turned serious.

"There is a problem." Shen Jingheng said, "Before the Zerg could clearly sense that we violated their territory... This time they didn't come out to expel us."

Chu Yu closed his eyes and seemed to be feeling something. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's strange... I didn't sense the psychic power fluctuations of the Zerg. Could it be that my perception in the cocoon is an illusion?"

"What perception?"

"I can perceive the psychic power that exists around me in the cocoon... Let's say, in my sea of consciousness I can 'see' some blue fire, the more vigorous the fire, the stronger the psychic power, the weaker the fire, the weaker the psychic power, with the exception of the cerebral worms, whose psychic power is golden. All the bugs on the ore star have a golden mark in their fires, which I guess should be the cerebral worm's control over them."

Shen Jingheng was incredulous: "It means...all the bugs on the ore star are controlled by the cerebral worms? The cerebral worms distribute all the social work by themselves?... Is their technology still ahead of us?"

"This is just speculation and has not been confirmed." Chu Yu said lightly, "This may also be a way of biological development and survival, and may be the most beneficial composition for species survival... Think about it carefully, the Zerg has evolved to that kind of level of terror, and even the ability to evolve particle weapons by themselves... It is conceivable what kind of enemies they have faced."

"..." Faced with this kind of speculation, Shen Jingheng could no longer imagine, "So they chose to invade the civilization of the Protoss?"

Chu Yu nodded: "Our galaxy must have something they need to evolve, maybe the galaxy environment, maybe the social system... In short, the most direct thing is resource plunder. The last time I fought with the cerebral worm, I felt that he was going to covet my psychic power. To put it illusory, it is psychic power. To put it more scientifically, maybe there is some energy hidden in human brain waves. And this energy... is the key to the evolution of the Zerg."

The dialogue has reached the height of scientific research, Shen Jingheng asked: "Then...why can't you find any bugs on the ore star now?"

Chu Yu said slowly: "There are two guesses." He slowly exhaled, "First, the cerebral worm can perceive us, so it conceals the psychic power of the zerg... Now it is lurking somewhere, ready to give us a fatal blow."

"What about the second guess?"

"The Zerg encountered a natural enemy, gave up the ore star, and chose to save their lives."

Both possibilities exist, and neither scenario is optimistic for them.

Chu Yu sighed: "We can only try to explore as much useful information as possible... Let's take it step by step, the best result is that the Zerg gave up on this star, leaving us with some remains for research. But obviously, this is impossible...the Zerg disappeared so cleanly that there is no trace at all."

Suddenly, the ground under Chu Yu's feet cracked open. Chu Yu suddenly lost his focus and stepped into the crack with one foot.

Shen Jingheng was about to step forward to support Chu Yu, but the crack under his feet suddenly opened, swallowing the two together.

Shen Jingheng stepped on air, grabbed Chu Yu's hand tightly, and fell with Chu Yu in his arms.

The strong airflow made him unable to open his eyes at all, and if they continued to fall like this, the two of them would definitely be smashed to pieces.

Shen Jingheng's mind turned fast, and he summoned the mecha with remote control, only to see a black shadow swooping down from the crack, flying under the two of them, and firmly connecting them on their backs.

Shen Jingheng opened the secret door of the mecha, and the two got into the operation compartment of the mecha from the secret door. Shen Jingheng quickly started the buffering procedure of the mecha, and then he slowly let out a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead, and then found himself already sweating.

Chu Yu, who was beside him, was also in shock, gasping for breath.

"Damn, this again!" Shen Jingheng slapped his thigh angrily, "Maybe we'll go to the spider's lair next."

Chu Yu remained calm and said: "We should see the cerebral worm again, and this time the cerebral worm should not let us go easily." He quickly thought about the next plan and said, "After landing, you will stay in the mech first. I'll go check it out. I've been in contact with the cerebral worm, and it's not that easy for him to take away my psychic power."

Shen Jingheng frowned: "You want to be a hero by yourself again."

Chu Yu calmly said the coldest words: "It's not being a hero, it's an experiment. You need to effectively communicate the results of the experiment to the Protoss, otherwise, we will never win."

Shen Jingheng closed his eyes and said with difficulty for a long time, "...Okay."

What Chu Yu said was the truth, but it was also the coldest and most inhumane words. Using oneself as an experiment only to obtain some useful information so that the Protoss can survive in this resource-plundering aggression.

It is acceptable intellectually, but Shen Jingheng finds it difficult to bear the weight of this sentence with emotion.

For him... life is just an experiment.

His beautiful, persistent, stubborn soul... In his mouth, it's just an experiment, like a butterfly in a petri dish. It's incredibly beautiful, but it's still just cold data withering on the experimental bench.

Shen Jingheng hated this feeling and the fate he couldn't control.

He hates this era, this cosmic rule of the law of the jungle, and this cruel, ruthless and indifferent world.

He hates himself...incapable of protecting the one he loves.

They landed.

Contrary to what they had imagined, this time, their feet were covered in blue glowing moss.

Fluorescent particles, beautiful.

The moss lit up the entire dark cave, and the two saw the only trace of the Zerg left on the planet - a huge spider web.

The giant spider was gone as if the world had suddenly evaporated, leaving only empty spider webs.

Shen Jingheng clearly remembered that this was the spider web when he rescued Chu Yu.

At this moment, the huge spider web was hanging between the sky and the earth, and there seemed to be another cave entrance below it, exuding a faint golden shimmer from the inside out.

Chu Yu frowned slightly: "I'll go there alone to see the situation, always be ready to run and contact by radio."

Shen Jingheng clenched his fists and gritted his back molars: "Yes."

Chu Yu carefully walked under the spider web and probed towards the cave.

Chu Yu's faint voice came from the radio: "...Run."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Jingheng's physical function exploded to the strongest in an instant, and he instantly ran towards Chu Yu's direction with a vigorous step.

- How could he escape?

The golden light at the entrance of the cave suddenly extended out, instantly engulfing Chu Yu's figure.

Shen Jingheng couldn't make it in time, and could only watch Chu Yu disappear into the golden light...

His eyes were wide open: "No-!!!"
