Interstellar: Conquering Crazy Commanders with Food

Chapter 196 Death is also a new life
"Why did this damn bug just fall in love with Claire? She can do this because of her." Rory kicked the metal wall again, with such force that a part of the metal plate was dented.

When everyone was at a loss, Cassius had already changed into a black casual suit and linen pants and walked over.

"What happened?" he asked.

Seeing them looking at each other and no one dared to speak first, Cassius, who had expected it, walked into the cockpit and turned on the communication system.

"An hour ago, this Zerg ship received a signal from the mainstream star palace, which is currently the Zerg headquarters." Fei Ji said later: "The Zerg captain used the lives of tens of thousands of imperial prisoners as chips in exchange for Claire or Your life."

The crowd followed Cassius and listened to the death threat from the Zerg again, and all lowered their heads, not daring to look at their commander's face now.

No one could guess what Cassius was thinking at this moment, only Feiji looked at his stiff back and took a step to express his thoughts: "Commander, there is no need for you to sacrifice yourself or Claire, you have no such obligation .”

In Feiji's eyes, Cassius had devoted the first half of his life to the army and to the empire. At this time, he wanted him to be selfish for a while.

Rory also echoed: "Commander, you will die if you go, and Claire will die if you go. I can bring another team back to save people."

Carl said with a sad face: "A team? Let alone the problem of how to take away the number of captives. They have discovered that we stole gold oil to modify fighter planes. Now they must be prepared. How can it be so easy."

After a period of silence, the fiery Bud clenched his fists and said to Cassius: "Cassius, the empire cannot do without you now, and the people are waiting for your rescue. Sacrifice Claire."

Everyone is waiting for Cassius' choice.

He turned around quietly, with mixed emotions in his eyes, but his heroic face was firmer than ever, "Claire is my wife, and as her husband, I have an obligation to protect her."

No one could have imagined that the once hard-hearted first commander would one day do this for his wife, willing to give up tens of thousands of lives in exchange for her safety.

"Cassius." Bud watched him hesitate to speak, and sighed heavily, "Forget it, your choice has never been missed."

Don't know whether these words are to comfort himself or someone else, Bude left the command room with his only remaining soldiers.

However, Feiji seemed to be relieved, and said: "Let's go to Hope together. We only need to wait for the transformation of the fighter plane by the golden oil to be completely completed. Maybe there will be a chance to launch a counterattack in the future."

"No." Cassius said calmly, "You are now assigned a new mission."

"Protect Madam and let Hope's researcher send her home."

"Commander!" Fei Ji suddenly raised his voice, and Rory and others raised objections.

Cassius said blankly, "This is an order."

There was only one circular window on the right side of the small bed in the bedroom. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Claire felt a hand moving on her face.

Smelling the delicious orange scent that was close at hand, she opened a slit of her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his rough palm.

"Are you done?" She snorted sleepily.

"Not yet, you can sleep for a while." Cassius squatted on one knee beside the bed, leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

She opened her eyes a little wider, held his hand, and muttered distressedly: "When will you rest? Fei Ji said you haven't slept for three days."

The room was quiet for a few seconds before his hoarse and gentle voice came, "Soon, I'll watch you sleep."

Cassius's voice seemed to have hypnotic magic power. Clareton, who was not yet fully awake, felt turbulent and drowsy again. The face in front of her eyes gradually became a few blurred outlines, and she fell into the darkness again.

Cassius quietly watched Claire's gentle and peaceful sleeping face. After a while, he withdrew his energy and took out a wedding ring from his pocket, put it into a thin silver chain, and hid it in her pocket.

"Claire, live."

He kissed her hard on the lips one last time, got up and left.

Three days later, the Zerg ship carrying the females arrived in Hope.

General Natali led a group of humans and orcs to wait at the landing point early, and some females watching the excitement also stood quietly with their partners from a distance.

Claire was still in a comatose state when she was carried off the boat by Fei Ji. Judith saw her surrounded by sharp eyes, ran over a few steps, and was held by the back of her neck by her when she passed by Natalie Clothes pulled back.

"Claire! What's going on? Is she injured?" Judith had to stand beside Natalie and asked loudly to Fei Ji who was walking not far away.

Yael, who was standing in the line, took a step forward involuntarily when he heard her name, with a worried look on his face.

Natalie glanced at the crowd disembarking from the boat, "Where's Cassius?"

Feiji glanced down at Claire who was unconscious in his arms, "Dead."

As soon as these words came out, there were one after another gasps in the team behind Natalie.

Someone couldn't believe it: "How did he die? Isn't the plan very successful?"

Fei Ji stared at her with a face that lost his smile and said, "The commander asked your researcher to send Claire home. This is his last wish."

Natalie pursed her lips, stepped aside and said, "Put the females down first."

Martina followed Feiji, holding a string of rings and necklaces that fell out of Claire's pocket, weeping.

Three days ago, Cassius reached a consensus with the Zerg, and returned to the main planet alone to accept the trial of the Zerg captain Terrence, and exchanged the lives of tens of thousands of captured imperial soldiers at his own expense.

And just yesterday, the Zerg issued a notice to the entire Ateli galaxy.

In the Atley Colony, the former Orc Empire commander Cassius violated the eight colonization clauses and set up a rebel army without permission to fight against the Zerg in the colonies divided areas such as the Earth and the Main Star, resulting in the death of a large number of Zerg troops and the loss of more than [-] warplanes. The death penalty was executed in public, and the corpse was hung in the square as an example to others.

After putting Claire in the wooden house and settling down, Feiji went to the small living room outside, and said with a heavy face: "We have unanimously decided not to tell her the fact that the commander is dead after Claire wakes up, until we send her back home. the way home."

"She's so smart, she'll figure it out soon." Judith's mood hit rock bottom, and she knew all too well how much her friend liked the commander.

"Where else can you send her? What home? I don't understand now." Budd, Karl and others all looked puzzled.

Natalie sat down and explained: "We have always been affected by reproductive problems, and we are afraid that the orcs and humans will become extinct one day, so in addition to saving these tortured females and women for nearly a hundred years, the scientists hiding here I have also been studying the method of time travel, trying to bring people from the past to the future, as long as the proportion of reproductive females is expanded, unnecessary competition can be reduced to achieve racial balance."

"You mean Claire. from the past?" Bud was surprised.

"To be precise, it was the Earth 5000 years ago." Natalie snorted, and said again: "We could have sent her away long ago, but she escaped before the arrival of the Zerg."

Hearing her bad tone, Judith, who was next to her, elbowed her arm, "Don't say that, who would have thought that the Zerg would come soon? It's normal that she chose her husband, yes You made your own decisions against her wishes."

Knowing that he was wrong, Natalie did not refute.

Fei Ji pondered for a moment, and said: "I want you to send Claire away as quickly as possible, before she finds out the truth of the matter."

Before Natalie could answer, several elders dressed as scholars in white coats came in one after another, and one of them echoed: "Okay, we can set a new coordinate point as soon as possible."

Natalie greeted the shrewd and grey-haired man at the front, "Achille."

A middle-aged man named Achill stood still in front of the table, and said to Feiji and others: "Although the orcs and the human empire no longer exist, the race cannot be extinct. If Claire successfully returns to the past, then one day in the future we will also Both females could be transported to another time to survive."

"Abandon this place? Abandon those people who were treated as slaves to live alone?" Bud angrily said, "I disagree!"

"We no longer have an army, and even the team we sent to rescue the females is what we tried our best to piece together for you." Natalie sneered, "Sometimes we have to understand reality like humans, and the continuation of the race is the only way to survive." the most important."

Her words pierced the hearts of the officers present.

That's the truth, there's no excuse.

"General Natalie." Yael walked over with an optical brain in the form of a watch strap, "Starnet has updated a piece of content."

Since the arrival of the Zerg, all social networks belonging to orcs have been monopolized, and few orcs will post on them.

The video that appeared this time was an official military account controlled by the Zerg.

The main star square is very sunny, and the video lens focuses on a wooden Pozi cross.

The half-naked man had his limbs bound, four or five holes in the heart, forming perforations visible to the naked eye, the blood was almost drained, his complexion was unhealthy bluish white, his lips were chapped, as if he had just died.

"commander"

Fei Ji's eyes were red, and the veins on his arms on his legs were protruding. He instantly stood up and turned his back, unable to bear to look any further, panting heavily.

Big men like Carl and Rory shed tears when they saw this scene.

"They bully animals too much!" Rory smashed the wooden table to pieces with one punch.

Yael glanced at the room where Claire was lying, put away the optical brain, and whispered: "When Claire wakes up, don't let her touch any electronic products, she can't see this."

Fiji suppressed her grief and said, "Don't tell her it's been three days since she woke up, she's too smart."

Everyone agrees on this point.

-

"Yel." Claire sat in the yard in front of the wooden house, holding a piece of melon in his hand, and said boredly, "It's been a week since I arrived in Hope. Haven't Cassius and Feiji returned from patrolling?"

In the field in front of her, Yael threw the last cabbage into the bamboo basket, wiped his sweat and turned his head: "The Zerg are looking for you and the females, the commander must be stationed outside, just in case .”

"I know, but they always have to change shifts, and they can't always let Cassius stand on his shoulders. He is still injured." Claire put down the melon, wiped his hands and suggested, "Give me a fighter plane, and I can fight with you guys." Patrol together, let him come down early to rest."

She even wondered if that man hadn't let her close her eyes very much until now, just thinking about it made her feel a little distressed.

Yael said with a natural expression: "Claire, these are the jobs that men should do. You know he won't agree to your request."

Being rejected again, Claire sighed slightly.

The seventh day of Cassius' death, Main Star Square.

The corpse tied to the rack was secretly lowered by a group of deformed orcs in the dark and carried away on their backs.

Terrence learned that Cassius's body had been taken away by several orc captives, so he didn't pursue it. He only said in a low voice, "It's just a corpse. They can bury it wherever they want."

So far it has not found Claire's whereabouts, but it is not in a hurry at this time, Cassius is dead, and she will eventually return to its embrace with hatred.

And by then, it will completely possess her.

A team of wolves and leopards quietly transported the body of Cassius to the barracks under his original jurisdiction.

The barracks had been abandoned for a long time, and the contents inside were looted by the Zerg, leaving only a pile of useless sand and the desolate north wind in the battlefield.

"Just bury the commander here?" A cheetah lay down on its body, and two orcs who had turned back into human form carefully placed the body on the ground.

"Where else can he be buried? If you don't bring him out today, tomorrow he will be transported to the corpse disposal station and crushed."

The majestic wild wolf began to dig the soil with its forelimbs, and said in its mouth with sharp fangs: "There is a whole body buried here, and there are not many mosquito bites. This is the last we can do."

Another gust of wind blew past, fascinated the eyes of all the beasts, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

"Ugh."

"Hurry up, we don't have much time."

"Crack."

In the quiet environment, the sudden sound of bone brittleness caused several orcs who were concentrating on digging to raise their heads in shock.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Have the Zerg come over?"

"Hey."

There was another sound as if the skin was splitting from behind, and they immediately turned their heads, focusing on the broken corpse on the ground.

Cassius's body arched upwards strangely, and the constant sound was the sound of broken bones healing automatically. On his chest, several penetrating holes were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"what happened?"

Several orcs stood up and looked at the ever-changing corpse excitedly and puzzled.
