Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 56 Smile
Finally, the day came, and my mother, Anna, made a huge plate of what Elvis liked to eat.

He brought the food to the table, and Avis looked at the plate with a little happiness on his face.

"Son, today is your 9th birthday. Mom has been practicing cooking for a long time, just to make dishes like this for you. Do you like it?"

Anna smiled, took off the apron she was wearing, and sat next to her son.

"Mom, you're too close."

"Oh, okay, sorry, I'll leave for a little bit."

Mom showed a naughty smile, then moved closer and said.

"You have never smiled at him, how about a smile? I have been waiting for this day. I specially cooked your favorite dish for you today. I can cook it for you every day in the future, as long as you treat me Smile. Okay?"

Ives pressed the flush button on the toilet, put the bloody fruit knife on the bathroom faucet and rinsed it repeatedly.

After looking at himself in the mirror, Avis took down his mother's towel that was placed on the bathroom railing.

Wipe the blood from the stars on the mirror bit by bit.

"Son, I'm back? Where is your mother?"

My father pushed open the ajar bathroom door.

"Mom said something happened and she went out."

"It's really strange. I clearly agreed that I would take the day off today and stay at home with you. Why are you missing now?"

"Haha, maybe something happened suddenly in the company, so let her go back."

Elvis took the cleaned fruit knife and went to the refrigerator.

"I see on the table. You have just finished eating, right? Are you going to eat fruit now?"

Father said with some confusion.

Elvis smiled, and it seemed to be the first time in his life that he smiled at someone else.

He cut a few pieces of fruit with a clean fruit knife, "Haha, I just don't know why. I'm very happy today and I want to eat it."

"Haha, it's good to be happy, it's good to be happy, son, this is the first time I've seen you smile. If your mother were here, she would be very happy too. She is always thinking about this. She said she has never seen you smile at her. .”

After hearing what his father said, Avis smiled again, "It's okay, she has already seen it."

In the bathtub filled with water, a blurry human face smiled at her in the rippling water.

Then the red liquid covered the line of sight, with gurgling bubbles, until the line of sight was completely black——

For many years, Ives has been longing for a sincere relationship.

Be it friendship, love, or family affection.

No matter what kind of feeling it is, he has never experienced it.

"Same kind, hahaha, same kind... So, this is what it feels like to have the same kind of people."

Qin Xu's shoulder blade was still aching from that bullet.

But this pain not only did not make him feel uncomfortable, but for the first time he felt that there were still things he liked in the world.

Yes, he "fell" in love with each other.

This kind of love is abnormal and deformed.

Since he was a child, he felt sick to see everyone, they stink like feces in the sewer.

And today he finally met a clean person. He may not be very nice, but he finally didn't have that feeling that disgusted him to the extreme.

It's like walking in a sewer, with poop everywhere, and in the poop, there's a brick.

Bricks may not attract him much, but they are the only clean things in his sight.

At this time, someone pushed the door open and entered the command room. He came to report the situation.But when he saw that Avis's face was not wearing the eagle mask, he was completely stunned.

Then he immediately lowered his head, closed his eyes, and reported quickly: "General Ives, the enemy fleet is coming, and we need to retreat immediately. All the rockets we carried to destroy the planet's ecology have been launched. Soon, this place will become a dead planet. Just like that, I'm leaving."

"Hehe, don't be nervous."

Avis slowly put the mask back. If it were the person opposite him, he would have been dead before, but now he suddenly didn't care so much.

"Let the whole ship return to sail."

"Yes!"

The soldiers felt like they were facing a big enemy and secretly made up their minds that they would have to knock on the door every time they came in. Even if something big happened, they didn't dare to break in directly.

The fleet slowly retreated and left the near-Earth space of Gaia.

Ives stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the smaller and smaller Gaia star. A smile appeared on his face again, but this time he was sincere.

"Believe me, we will meet again. I hope that by then, you can recognize the reality. That is, except for you and me, everyone else is the filth in the sewer. Only you can stand with me, Only you will cooperate with me and stand together. As for the other people around you... I will kill them all, leaving no one left."

Immediately afterwards, Ives remembered the fact that Qin Xu predicted and accurately grasped the future that missed his flying bullet with a gun.

This future was something Ives had not foreseen at all.

In the brief battle, both sides seemed to be in a hurry because they suddenly lost their ability to predict for the first time.

But they all adapted quickly after suffering losses.

Only the shot fired by Qin Xu is still unclear to Avis.

There was no coincidence in that shot, it could only rely on prediction. Only the ability to predict could hit bullets with bullets at such a close distance.

Ives couldn't figure it out, but there was no doubt that this matter must be related to the woman named Chen Xiaomeng.

Since Qin Xu wanted to protect her so much, he was going to kill her until there was no one around Qin Xu.

In this way, Qin Xu will recognize the reality and accept his kind.

Bazadi's imperial fleet left, and by the time the Rock Republic's second and third fleets returned to the Gaia system, it was already too late.

At first, people just thought it was an ordinary orbital bombing, but gradually as more and more research results came out, people on the planet Gaia discovered that it was not that simple.

The planet Gaia's strong ecological resilience has suffered a huge blow.

Not to mention the areas soaked by the solution, in the central area of ​​the rocket bombardment, large areas of animals and plants have been completely reduced to pieces of burning objects.

Looking around, there was nothing visible on the ground except for puddles of unknown liquid stretching for thousands of miles.

The entire land became a flat, empty plain, and here, there should have been a huge forest.

In the underground city, scientific researchers from the United Nations of Earth are treating each other's wounds.

"Hold it, it might hurt a little."

"what."

"I haven't done it yet..."

"what!!!"

"it's good now."

The scientific researchers screamed one after another, and most of their injuries were caused by the erosion of the solution on their legs and feet.

I don’t know what the ingredients of this solution are. If the wound is not treated in time, the scope of the wound will be wider.

With only rudimentary medical equipment, they had no choice but to do it.
