Chapter 123: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (28)
The mecha fell down again.
Its metal body was covered by black liquid, and its original color could not be seen. Only the lightsaber in its hand was shining as before.
The next second, the sword flashed and cut the Zerg in the front into two pieces.
When everyone looked again, the mecha had stood up again.
——It has always been like this.
——He would not fall for more than three seconds.
In the interstellar era, everyone had physical education classes since childhood, and they knew how difficult it was to break through the limit. You need to restrain the instinct to rest, restrain the soreness of your muscles, and force yourself to squeeze out the last bit of strength.
If this is compared to a long-distance race, most people often stop when they feel tired.
What's more, willpower cannot do everything.
This world is objective and scientific, and it is not that strong desires can achieve goals.
So Shen Minghuan can stand up again and again, not just thinking about it.
He must have resisted the idea of staying in this posture to rest for a while after falling to the ground, willing to overdraw his spirit and life, and grit his teeth to get up.
And he continued this process hundreds of times.
From the scorching sun to the setting sun, Shen Minghuan never took a step back.
"Has the Azure Dragon Corps not arrived yet? At all costs!"
"The interstellar jump has been activated. It is estimated to arrive in two minutes. Ah, it's here."
Every time the interstellar jump is activated, it is equivalent to burning money. The alliance has only used it for long-distance travel a few times. This is the first time it has been used for short-distance transmission.
Advanced computers can accurately determine the arrival time to the second. Today's technology basically has no errors.
The Azure Dragon Corps arrived two minutes ahead of schedule, which should be a very strange thing, but Xiang Wanyu saw the three words "Mo Hexuan" at the top of the list, and he didn't think it was strange.
What's more, the greatest and most incredible miracle is happening in this live broadcast room.
Xiang Wanyu looked at Shen Minghuan who stood up again.
A huge ray of light cut through the sky. Because of the high speed, the air seemed to be cut and made a thunderous sound.
The next moment, hundreds of mechas fell from the sky and landed in front of Shen Minghuan.
This was obviously not the occasion to reminisce about the past, and the mecha joined the battle as soon as it landed.
Normally, the Zerg moved fast, and it was often difficult for them to hit the opponent's vital points, but now the density was too high, and the Zergs were crowded with each other, comparable to the tourist attractions of the Imperial Star during the holidays. You could kill several of them by throwing bricks with your eyes closed.
In addition, this group of Zergs were frightened by Shen Minghuan's beating. If they had not been controlled by the queen, they would have run away long ago.
The soldiers had never fought such an easy battle. Although there were many enemies, they were inexplicably handy like cutting tofu with a sharp knife.
Perhaps the Zerg queen also knew that the calculations here had failed, and the endless Zerg tide finally stopped replenishing.
Although there were still many bugs between heaven and earth, the end was finally in sight.
The netizens who had been watching all this intently finally blinked their jerky eyes, and tears oozed from the corners of their eyes again.
[Shen Minghuan, reinforcements are coming, the alliance is safe, you can stop, did you hear? Stop quickly. ]
[Please, Shen Minghuan, you have been overdrawn seriously. Take a break and don't continue.]
[Commander, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you. I apologize to you. Please stop first.]
Mo Hexuan stabbed the last Zerg that pounced on Shen Minghuan to death.
Many mechas have collapsed on the ground, indicating the fatigue and exhaustion of the operators.
The mecha driven by Shen Minghuan still stood upright with a sword in one hand.
Mo Hexuan paused for a moment, then hesitated to move his feet.
"Minghuan?" He called cautiously.
[Fuck, I'm so anxious, Lieutenant, open the door quickly! The commander can't get out! This garbage can't be opened!]
The only SS-level mecha in the alliance today, covered with badges made of black blood, is actually called "garbage".
If the mecha has a soul, I don't know how angry it will be.
Mo Hexuan also reacted quickly.
He didn't get an answer, so he had to jump off his mecha and tentatively climb onto Shen Minghuan's mecha.
The mecha didn't move, and Shen Minghuan didn't object.
Mo Hexuan opened the hatch and jumped in.
Shen Minghuan had fainted.
He slumped in the operating chair, quietly closing his eyes.
The mask slipped off halfway during the fierce battle just now, revealing his pale face and still furrowed brows.
His black hair was wet with sweat and messily dotted on his forehead. He was not stable in his coma, and his eyelashes trembled from time to time, as if he was struggling to wake up.
"Minghuan, it's okay, Minghuan..."
Mo Hexuan half-knelt in front of Shen Minghuan and whispered to comfort him, his eyes were indescribably sad and distressed.
He looked at the mask, and for a moment he thought that it was okay, throwing the mask away, or smashing it, no matter what the overall situation was, no matter what the future was, he didn't care, he just wanted the person in front of him to be safe and worry-free.
But Mo Hexuan closed his eyes tightly, and finally suppressed his selfishness. With trembling hands, he gently put the mask on Shen Minghuan.
His movements were pious, like a sacrifice, and also like bowing.
He carried Shen Minghuan out of the control cabin.
The satellite signal of the mecha captured their figures again.
If it was Mo Hexuan himself, he could just jump off the mecha directly. Even if there was an extra burden, he was sure that both of them would be unharmed.
But Shen Minghuan was behind him.
He didn't dare to take the risk even with a one in ten thousand chance.
A paralyzed mech quickly stood up, carefully placed his hand in front of Mo Hexuan, waited for Mo Hexuan to step on it, and then slowly put it on the ground.
He did not forget to use his other hand to block the wind, as if a candle was burning in his palm that was about to go out.
The setting sun was like blood, and the whole place was devastated, filled with the horrible broken limbs and remains of the Zerg.
In the sight of everyone, the young lieutenant carried the hero of the Alliance on his back, step by step, firmly and cautiously.
No one knew that it was his most cherished brother.
No one knew that at this moment, Mo Hexuan looked at the setting sun in the sky and thought of the video that was circulating.
The ragged old man held the baby in his arms and walked towards the rising sun with a staggering step.
Behind him were the broken fragments of the starship and the silent night that had already walked out.
Just for this picture, Mo Hexuan thanked the old man thousands of times in his heart.

The Zerg queen was very aggrieved.
Sixteen years ago, it was careless and was accidentally injured by a two-legged beast. Now it still has a headache. After that, it took ten years to recover from the injury. During those ten years, it rarely gave birth to cubs. It almost starved to death because the food found by the worms was not enough. It was miserable.
During the days when it didn't give birth to cubs, it was thinking all the time. It lost a lot of fur on its body before coming up with this wonderful idea. After that, it took several more years just to prepare.
In order to prevent the group of two-legged beasts from discovering its plan in advance, it really took great pains.
Oh, sorry, it is a worm, it has no heart.
The Zerg Queen didn't understand. It had planned for this day for so long and even transferred all the worms from other war zones.
In the end, how come its worms and grandchildren were almost all dead after only half a day?
Now it has only a few worm cubs left. Will the two-legged beasts attack?
Damn, my head starts to hurt again!
If humans heard this monologue of the Zerg Queen, they would probably be very surprised, because sixteen years ago, they didn't even see the Zerg Queen, let alone hurt her?
Tang Chaoyan's betrayal made them stop outside the Zerg nest forever. It was difficult to just hold on, and they had no spare energy to counterattack again.
However, the situation is good now, and humans have indeed seen hope again.
Although there were heavy casualties some time ago, after Shen Minghuan's killing in the canyon yesterday, the Zerg casualties were obviously much more serious than theirs.
The Alliance adjusted its strategic principles with great courage and began a large-scale counterattack.
After all, the Zerg queen is very fertile, and if it drags on for a long time, it will be disadvantageous to humans.
Humans are a very magical race. They would rather suffer a little pain in the present than leave the threat to the next generation. As long as there is a 5-point hope of winning, they dare to go to war.
All this has nothing to do with Shen Minghuan for the time being, and no one is worrying him about this matter.
Humans know very little about mental power, and don't know what harm there is in overdrawing mental power, let alone how to treat it. They can only follow Shen Minghuan's cultivation and observe his physical condition at any time.
Originally, Xiang Wanyu and the others wanted to take Shen Minghuan back to Emperor Star, where both the living environment and medical level are much better than those at the border, but Shen Minghuan strongly refused.
[Host, did you pretend to faint yesterday?] The system asked in a confused manner.
Shen Minghuan said confidently: [Yes, I did, what's wrong?]
The system was stuck for a moment, and it thought about it and felt that there seemed to be no problem. The host just had a hobby of acting, and he didn't hit anyone, so the strange expressions of those people should have nothing to do with the host.
[Host, you didn't know that your brother in this body was about to cry yesterday. Oh, no, he has already cried.] The system recalled Mo Hexuan's expression and said like offering a treasure.
Shen Minghuan said [Oh] indifferently, half lying on the bed, and clicked on a very popular video on the light brain.
In addition to his own performance yesterday, he can now enjoy VIP treatment for recuperation, and part of it is due to another person-his brother, Shang Chi.
When Shen Minghuan came to the Xuanwu Army on a starship, Shang Chi also made a special trip back to Lanxing.
At that time, Shen Minghuan was still a street rat, but he had the courage to face the camera on the optical computer and said solemnly, word by word:
--"My name is Shang Chi, and I am Shen Minghuan's brother."
The optical computer faithfully recorded what the owner saw and heard.
The iron house where Shen Minghuan once lived was fortunately survived the rainstorm. Although it was broken and leaking, and it would shake slightly when the wind blew, it still stood tremblingly.
"Ming Huan moved out of the orphanage when he was fourteen, and built a house with tin sheets he picked up himself. He said the orphanage had no money, and he had grown up and could no longer stay in the orphanage and eat and drink for free."
"He had always had good grades since he was a child, and he graduated with full marks in every subject, but we were too young and couldn't make much money from working and studying."
"In the beginning, we had to starve. Later, Ming Huan made some money, and the two of us shared a tube of nutrient solution a day."
In the video, Shang Chi's eyes were slightly red, and he pointed to the tin house that was shorter than him and smiled bitterly: " What mecha, what dream, we didn't have such concepts in our minds at that time, we just wanted to live, and do our best to live. "
Shang Chi continued to move forward, saying as he walked: "Later, life got a little better, but Ming Huan was still very tight on money. He said he wanted to see a more distant world, so he had to save money to buy a starship ticket to leave. But I know that he is still regularly sending money to the orphanage, and most of his earnings are given to the orphanage. "
The camera of the optical computer was adjusted downwards, and no face could be seen. Only from the voice could it be judged that Shang Chi had arrived at the orphanage he mentioned.
The children's voices were pure and innocent. They didn't know about the ups and downs outside. When they saw Shang Chi, they cheered and surrounded him.
"Shang Chi, why didn't Ming Huan come?"
"Xiao Duo received the birthday present sent by Ming Huan. Xiao Duo likes it very much."
"I haven't seen Ming Huan for a long time."
They chattered, but they were not annoying.
Shang Chi softened his voice and patiently comforted them, "It's almost time. Ming Huan misses you too. Let's come back together next time, okay? Ming Huan also told me to tell Xiao Duo in person, happy birthday, Xiao Duo, be happy every day."
Shang Chi stayed in the orphanage for a long time. The screen was shaking, and it was always facing the ground. Occasionally, the children's feet and the wheels of the nanny robot could be seen.
Shang Chi chattered with the children, talking about childish and meaningless topics, but no one was bored.
They listened quietly, and their eyes were red. After leaving the orphanage, Shang Chi re-adjusted the camera. He smiled and said, "After the director's mother passed away, there were no adults in the orphanage. The older children took care of the younger ones. The nanny robot was also bought by Ming Huan. He bought the most high-end one for fear of accidents."
"He is like this. He spends a lot of money on others and is stingy with himself. Oh, and he doesn't let me spend money on him. It's very annoying."
The video is almost over here. Shang Chi looks at the camera with an extremely serious expression:
"I don't care about Ming Huan's background. Whether he is the child of a hero or the child of a murderer, Shen Ming Huan has never enjoyed any protection from his family since he was a child."
"He and I have known each other since we were four years old. We grew up supporting each other and struggled to survive in the quagmire together. To me, he is just my younger brother."
"If you want to scold him, please scold me too."
"Except for me, no one deserves to be called his family."
"My name is Shang Chi, and I am Shen Ming Huan's brother."
Ignoring the earth-shaking crying in the comment area, Shen Ming Huan sighed with complexity.
He thought it was a good thing that the Zerg had made a big scene yesterday, otherwise Shang Chi might really be scolded because of him.
Thank you, Queen of the Zerg.
He dragged the progress bar and planned to watch it again.
Halfway through, the door was suddenly knocked, and Shen Minghuan casually said "Come in".
He was already used to it. Since the Alliance felt that he had internal injuries, someone would come to see him every once in a while.
Mo Hexuan pushed open the door and glimpsed the familiar picture on Shen Minghuan's mind. He opened his mouth and was suddenly a little at a loss.
He suddenly realized why Shen Minghuan, such a kind person, was unwilling to forgive them and why he was unwilling to call him brother.
Once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with the water. If he, Mo Hexuan, is also worthy of being called brother, how unfair it is to Shang Chi?
He suddenly remembered what Shen Minghuan had said to him.
"Second Lieutenant, what is fairness between relatives? What we want is preference."
Shen Minghuan is Shang Chi's preference.
