Colonial Suit

Silence...

Utter silence.

This was a dim room, unlit, with only a horizontal treatment pod operating silently, circulating the medicinal fluids at intervals. A few small indicator lights blinked in the gloom, the light screen above constantly reflecting the healer's body data and adjusting the proportion and composition of the medicinal fluids based on the data.

Not knowing how long had passed, the treatment pod emitted a soft 'beep' and the lid opened upwards. Nutrient fluids and bionic fluids gurgled out along the pipes, and a slightly thin but extremely vigorous man sat up from within...

His back was still connected to many tubes, densely extending into the treatment pod, but he seemed not to feel them, using his wet hand to pull a cigarette from the clothes beside him, put it in his mouth, and light it...

Snap!

The flame flickered in front of him, illuminating him in alternating light and shadow.

It was Blood瞳...

This was already the fifth month after the National War. Blood瞳's body had basically recovered. In the National War five months ago, he had infiltrated the secondary rule core alone. Although he completed the mission, he also suffered huge trauma, his muscles atrophied severely, and his vitality was greatly lost. When they finally found him, the mercenaries could hardly associate him with the powerful First殿下.

In order to repair the trauma, Blood瞳 had to lie in the treatment pod for several months, using various medicinal fluids to replenish the loss of vitality. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to contact 清月 and establish a private channel...

It must be said that Blood瞳 chose the timing well. At this time, no one would have expected him to do anything. And more importantly, he was very close to the Void Aggregate at this moment, making it easier to use the power of the secondary rules.

As for whether he was really injured... only he himself knew.

Beep beep...

A crisp sound came from the communicator beside him, followed by a graceful female voice.

"殿下, I estimate you should be awake now. T751 medicine should not be soaked for too long, please leave the treatment pod and go to the lounge for massage and recuperation. In addition, Speaker阁下 just sent a message, hoping to have dinner with you. Please go to the Zenith Garden in two hours."

"I know." Blood瞳 took a deep puff of the cigarette, then extinguished the cigarette on the edge of the treatment pod. He stood up with a rustle, a large amount of medicine slid off his muscles, and the tubes behind him snapped open.

"Forgot to say, you have a nice figure." After a moment of silence, the female voice suddenly sounded again, with a hint of teasing in her tone. "If possible, can I have dinner with you too?"

"If you have the energy, go harass Bas. I guarantee he won't refuse." Blood瞳 curled his lips, and said unceremoniously.

Then the girl's laughter rang out from the communicator, and she hung up happily.

Speaking of which, the owner of this female voice was not easy to provoke. Because she was not a full-time service staff, but a very powerful mercenary, named 伊丝, Snake Woman 伊丝. She got her name because she injected gene modification fluid from the 瑟尔斯 cobra.

伊丝 extremely liked snake genes. In her long evolutionary process, she had performed at least hundreds of genetic adjustments on venomous snakes, thus gaining many strange powers and antibodies. But snakes are inherently promiscuous, and these genetic adjustments also affected her physique, making her very fond of men.

伊丝 was very beautiful, with wavy green hair and a curvy figure. Her skin was wheat-colored. She should have been the most fatal attraction to men, but in reality... the men who had been intimate with her were like nightmares, and they never wanted to get close to her again. To the point that now, she even had the title of men's nightmare.

In fact, these were nothing special, it's just that 伊丝's body temperature was too low, and being intimate with her was like hugging a corpse...

Walking out of the treatment room, skilled technicians came to groom Blood瞳's body. They were professionally trained, and their techniques also contained stimulation of the human body's potential points (acupoints), which could maximize the strengthening of a person's physique or quickly restore fatigue.

So two hours later, Blood瞳 appeared in the Zenith Garden in high spirits.

In the middle of the bird-singing and fragrant garden, an old man was already waiting at the dining table, tasting the red wine by himself. Noticing Blood瞳's arrival, he reached out and made a gesture of invitation.

"Sorry, I was supposed to be the host, but I'm a little hungry, so it's very rude to eat some first, you don't mind, do you?"

"It seems that even if I say I mind, you won't stop." Blood瞳 replied unceremoniously, then sat down opposite the Speaker and said to the waiter.

"Rare steak. Bring me three hundred catties first."

"Are you eating extravagantly?" The Speaker opened his mouth, looking astonished. "Has your food been bad lately?"

"Drinking nutrient solution every day, it would be a miracle if it was good." Blood瞳 poured himself a glass of whiskey unceremoniously, then drained it in one gulp. "Whenever I think that I was used to complete a mission with nine deaths and one life, without any prior warning, I feel very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable makes me want to eat, and not eating makes me even hungrier."

"Steak, bring another three hundred catties!"

"Hey!" The Speaker had black lines all over his head. "Steak isn't measured in catties..."

"Is that so?" Blood瞳 shrugged indifferently. "I remember someone didn't say that when they just came out of the Void... If not catties, then tons?"

"Okay, okay... I know..." The Speaker waved his hands repeatedly. "It was indeed my fault for not giving you a warning in advance. But you also have to understand this old man, where else can I find someone who is not afraid of assimilation besides you? You'll only lose a little vitality at most when you go in, others will lose their lives..."

"There's nothing to be proud of sacrificing, the less the better."

"............" Blood瞳 was silent, looking at the seemingly sincere Speaker for a while, and finally nodded. "There won't be a next time."

"Using this kind of thing will become a habit, I don't want to be treated as a pawn."

"Of course, there will definitely not be a next time." The Speaker chuckled, and returned to his cynical appearance. Looking at his shining eyes, Blood瞳 sighed softly.

It seems, there really will be a next time...

The two chatted for a while, and the Speaker finally put down his wine glass, and said seemingly casually. "You've been recuperating recently, but I believe you're not completely ignorant, what do you think of the Black Tide incident?"

"Black Tide?" Blood瞳 thought for a while, and replied indifferently. "It has nothing to do with me."

"That's hard to say. The appearance of the Black Tide happened at the same time as our large-scale human replenishment, so now there are many voices expressing doubts about us, believing that the Black Tide was caused by us. At the same time, that prophecy is also circulating in civilization, giving us a lot of pressure."

"But that's not what I want to say!"

The Speaker suddenly denied his own words, his eyes staring intently at Blood瞳's face.

"What I really want to say is, what, do, you, think!"

It was the same question, but when the Speaker asked it again, the tone was completely different. And Blood瞳 also suddenly became serious, his pupils contracted.

"What, do you know?"(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
