Chapter 6: Admiral Rogue

The director also heard what Lucas said, and was shocked by the admiral for a long time without regaining his senses.
"This..." The old man slowed down and said, "That's it. We suspect that there may be something wrong with the sample."
"How does your research institute do things!" Lucas dissatisfied: "I'll give you the sample, and you can test it. Can it go wrong if it's that simple?"
"Maybe there was a problem in the transfer process, or it may be that we were mixed in and dropped the package during the test, but the possibility of the latter is very small. After receiving the sample, our research institute activated a level A alert, and the security system did Very rigorous." Director said: "Now it can only be investigated one by one."
The captain immediately answered: "It is even more unlikely that the handover will go wrong! I have not left the hand since I took it from the admiral, and then I also watched the sample in the hands of the director."
The director frowned slightly: "I will investigate the surveillance and the entry and exit of the laboratory personnel in these two days."
Lucas said: "Hurry up and find out!"
Lorrain paused and stepped forward and said to Lucas: "Admiral, it doesn't matter if DNA goes wrong here. There are other investigation directions, such as hotels, where there are more clues. DNA is too one-sided after all."
Luo Ran said in his heart, let this sample go quickly.
All in all, this trip was totally useless, and if the research institute couldn't find any clues, it would stop.
"Who the is who can change the sample without knowing it?" On the way back, Lucas said, "It doesn't seem to be such a simple matter."
The captain was sitting in the front, only Luo Ran and Lucas in the back seat, Luo Ran was seizing the time to read the document.
Lucas sneered: "I'm getting more and more interested. Who is that person? I dare to design me like this. I won't let it go without finding someone."
"Luo Ran, are you listening to me?"
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said "Yes".
Luo Ran still held the official document in his hand, smiled and said: "Admiral don't worry, there will always be a solution."
Lucas had a meal.
"Ok."
After returning to the company, Luo Ran originally thought that there was nothing serious, but was suddenly called to an impromptu meeting.
Luobing country sent a new ore sample.
Speaking of this ore, Lucas was originally just an admiral who went into battle and managed the imperial army.
Later, Lucas led the empire to defeat the surrounding small kingdoms that were ready to move around, and one of them included the Falling Ice Kingdom.
As its name suggests, Luobing is winter all year round, and all the land is icy and snowy, so food is in short supply all the year round, which is also one of the reasons why they started the war.
Lucas conquered the snow, and then founded a logistics company under the sign of the imperial government and the round table.
Luobing lacks food, while the advanced empire lacks fuel, and Luobing is rich in ice ore.
As long as the ice ore mined from the ice cave is escorted to the empire, it can be refined into precious fuel, which can be used by all factories, machinery and mechas, with extraordinary value.
So Lucas’ company is responsible for escorting money, ice and food between the two countries.
This company is not so much a company, as it is an armed force. It is merged with Lucas's army and military department. In order to prevent the goods from being robbed by the stars on the way, or any small actions in the ice, they are all escorted by the army.
It can be said that this is the lifeblood of Luobing and the Empire.
The lifeline protected by Lucas, the most powerful sword and shield in the empire.
"For the sample this time, the research institute at Luobing is named UNK01." A fat man was holding a stack of documents on the conference room table.
Unknown01, a new ore just excavated from the ice cave may bring more unknown possibilities.
The cast screen is a bumpy, smooth and shiny surface, like an ice-like silver-white stone, but unlike other ice mines, this UNK01 has blood-red lines and looks strange and beautiful.
Lucas sat on the main seat with his chest and legs folded, frowning slightly at the stone.
Luo Ran asked: "This sample has been sent to the Empire?"
"Yes, it is expected to arrive at the institute the day after tomorrow, and Luobing's diplomatic ambassador will also bring a team of experts to her Royal Highness Princess and Prince Luobing."
"... Your Highness?" Luo Ran asked in his heart, what are they doing?
The minister paused and replied: "Come and marry the general."
"..."
bump--!
Lucas slapped the table and exclaimed: "Say it again?!"
The muscles on Minister's face trembled, and he looked at Luo Ran for help without tears.
Luo Ran asked: "Why is Luobing suddenly coming to marry?"
"This...the ambassador of Luobing has not arrived yet, I don't know.
"Let the two princes go back." Lucas said: "I am not a garbage collection site."
The Minister opened his mouth and looked at Luo Ran again without tears.
Luo Ran calmly said: "The admiral is right. The admiral means that he is not an object that can be used by the ice for any benefit. In any case, everything must wait for the ambassador to arrive. After careful discussion, the empire has the strength and dignity of the empire."
Minister: "Yes! I understand."
Lucaston paused, did he mean that?
probably.
It was night again after the meeting, and Luo Ran had to stay overnight again.
The white tea incense in the room has been refilled, the air conditioner is turned on just right, and Lucas' pheromone is in the air.
Everything is comfortable, even though Luo Ran has been trying hard not to let himself indulge.
Luo Ran sat on the sofa, reading some official documents and arranging tomorrow's schedule before going to bed.
After reading a few copies, I suddenly smelled the smell of motor oil in the bathroom.
Luo Ran had a meal and guessed what Lucas was doing.
"Admiral." Luo Ran gently closed the document and said, "Should I help you? It might not be convenient for you to do it yourself."
"can."
Lorraine let Lucas sit aside, and he took the bottle of motor oil.
Lucas hasn't started yet, just opened the lid.
Looking at Luo Ran, Lucas took off his gloves.
Lucas always wears black leather gloves, which match the military uniform he wears every time. Everyone has long been used to it.
It's just that Lucas can't actually take it off.
At this moment, I saw that the hands that were not covered by the cloth were incomplete.
The index finger and of the left hand do not exist. Instead, they are replaced by silver mechanical fingers. The implanted mechanical joints are distinct and can be manipulated slightly by the owner. The right hand is more serious. The last three are mechanical.
In addition, there are old-year scars on the back of the hand and the palm of the hand. It is obvious that this finger was also lost because of the burn.
This was one of the wounds left on the battlefield, Luo Ran never asked or explored how it came.
Luo Ran moistened the cloth with machine oil, and carefully rubbed each of Lucas's mechanical fingers to lubricate and care.
Luo Ran's movements were very light, his expression focused and serious, and he was careful not to touch Lucas's skin. After all, Lucas didn't like physical contact with others.
Lucas lowered his head slightly and he could see Luo Ran’s long soft silver hair and slender eyelashes. There was also a mole on the corner of his eyes. Those thin lips were gently pressed because of seriousness and concentration, as if holding them. To breathe.
His secretary is so serious no matter what he is doing.
"No need." Lucas said: "It doesn't hurt."
Luo Ran gave a soft "um".
Lukas’ weapons and mechas were all oiled and maintained by Luo Ran. Luo Ran was already proficient with this, and it was not the first time to help Lucas this way, but every time he still felt nervous and couldn’t help being cautious. of.
For a moment, every mechanical finger was oiled and shiny, Luo Ran got up and walked away a few steps and said, "Okay."
Lucas took a trip to the bed, ready to rest, but Luo Ran was still reading the files, only a little bit Luo Ran didn't want to keep it until tomorrow.
Lucas frowned slightly: "Sleep."
"Well, it's just a report from the hotel manager." Luo Ran said: "The hotel monitoring problem."
As soon as this Lucas was mentioned, he was not sleepy. He snapped up and said angrily: "Isn't any of them photographed? All broken?"
"Yes." Luo Ran shook his head and said: "The monitoring can't track it down. Now we are going to check the drinks."
After all, Lucas was drugged. It could be a drink or food.
Luo Ran asked: "What did the general ate that day? Do you still have an impression of what you drank?"
"No."
Lucas can remember all the details on the battlefield, but usually has a bad memory. He can forget everything he ate yesterday, not to mention that the dinner party was casual.
The next day the investigation department came to ask Lucas for clues, and Lucas couldn't give any key.
"Ah..." Luo Ran said helplessly: "Don't you remember anything that day?"
Lucas sat on the bed, frowned for a moment, got up and walked to the door and said, "Come here."
"...?"
bump--
As soon as Luo Ran walked to the door with his front foot, Lucas grabbed his shoulder and wrist and pressed it against the door.
"Admiral...!" Luo Ran was startled, and saw the man behind him approaching.
The two were very close, Luo Ran's breath was filled with the familiar smell of tobacco, destroying his nerves one by one.
The smell of Lucas's body is not the choking smell of cigarettes, but the mellow aroma of tobacco leaves, which belongs to the dominance of the earth before the tobacco is burned.
The taste is thick, strong, and spicy with bitterness and bitterness. It is as strong as his people. It is obvious that people dare not approach, but they can't help approaching, and even a little addictive.
Like boiled liquor, like gunpowder and ancient wood, the man’s hormones smoked Luo Ran a little bit untenable.
"I think about it... you make me think about it."
Lucas locked Luo Ran between his body and the door panel, frowning solemnly trying to recall and repeat the scene that night.
That person seemed to entangle himself by the door for a while?
Lucas said: "Don't move."
Lucas thought he could try to repeat it again and see if he could think of any clues.
Luo Ran: "..."
