Chapter 77: The admiral is back!

After Alton picked up a little bit from the cave and returned, he began to worry.
Naturally, there was no food in the cave, and it was impossible for a little bit to hunt, and Pure City died half a year ago, so what did he eat in the past half year?
Alton listened to the doctor's advice and asked the kitchen to boil the egg before mashing it.
Alton was holding the bowl, watching the little boy who was lying on Lucas, laughing and crying, stepped forward and said: "Oh, little boy is down."
"Eh..." Little Luoran grabbed Lucas by the neck and didn't want to let go.
Lucas was strangled by Destiny's neck, and wondered: "Why is he sticking to me?"
"The nestling complex." Alton smiled and shook the egg in front of Luo Ran.
Luo Ran blinked and turned around blankly.
Alton cautiously fed Luo Ran a small bite, and a tall man was restrained by such a soft dumpling.
After eating a bowl of eggs, Alton finally managed to abduct the child into his arms.
Holding Luo Ran, Alton grinned at Lucas and said: "Ouch, soft, completely different from you, hard boy."
"I don't know what this little bit will split into when he grows up. If it's beta, it's okay, but if it's alpha or omega, it's terrible. After all, it's a child of Pure City."
Some people, like Lucas, split up at birth, but others don't split until they reach adulthood.
Lucas looked at the child with his face buried in Alton's neck and said, "He has no parents, and he can't find it. Then..."
After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Luo Ran had amnesia, aphasia, and dementia after staying in the cave for half a year, and even the functioning of his body had changed a lot.
When the patrol came to the cave, the stones and insects were gone, and they didn't know what was going on. As long as they were disconnected from the outside world for too long, it was a miracle that the child could survive.
"In the future, it will naturally be for him to live well in the capital. We have to send him back to receive rehabilitation and formal education. Look at him, now he can’t say anything anymore. He has to have a teacher to teach him well in human society. Life, how is it possible to fight everywhere with us." Alton raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Why? You can't bear it, and you want to keep him? How about being a child bride?"
"No!" Lucas said with a hot face and angrily: "Nonsense, how old is he?"
"Hahaha..." Alton loves to tease Lucas, kicking on Lucas's and saying: "Fool boy, what do you think of a daughter-in-law, train me!"
"Hmm..." Seeing the big man drove the little one away, Xiao Luo Ran bit on Alton's shoulder rather aggrievedly.
"Is the stomach hungry again?" Alton deliberately teased, took off the small leaves of the potted plants on the desk, held the leaves and scratched Luo Ran's nose and ears.
"Wow!"
However, Xiao Luo Ran raised his head vigorously to bite the leaf, as if extremely hungry.
Alton frowned slightly. The child looked confused at the egg, but he treated the leaves like food. Could it be possible... The child used to eat grass in the cave?
"Poor little, I will make you an egg again." Alton took Luo Ran to the kitchen.
...
Luo Ran remembered.
He was once embraced by Alton, Lucas' uncle, his relatives and father in the true sense, who were also the heroes of the empire.
It was Alton who sent him back to the capital orphanage, arranged for him a doctor and counselor, and in order to protect him from outsiders and stars coveted, he concealed his identity as a pure city descendant.
After he went back to receive rehabilitation, his body that had been empty for half a year was properly treated, and finally broke out. He became seriously ill and had a fever for half a year. After he recovered, he also forgot this memory.
Luo Ran slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up." Xia Zhi was sitting reading a book, and when he saw Luo Ran awake, he poured water on him.
Luo stared blankly at Xia Solstice.
"You were transported back from the snowy mountain." Xia Zhi rubbed Luo Ran's hair and said: "Injured again, you really are..."
"I didn't expect it either." Luo Ran smiled and said dumbly: "Suddenly these things happened."
Luo Ran got up on the bed, took the water, there was still a buzzing in his head.
Luo Ran held on and drank the water, then gently kneaded the temple.
Xia Zhi sighed and said, "You had a big gap in your original spirit. The unk and mecha were not superimposed before, but I was injured again at this moment. I have injected you a lot of tranquilizers and painkillers. Many antibodies are produced, which is not good for your health. You can only wait for the admiral to come back or support yourself."
"It's okay." Luo Ran adjusted his respiratory tract: "It's either unacceptable pain or some discomfort."
Like someone poking a needle from time to time.
"Well, if you really can't help it, tell me," Xia Zhi gently rubbed Luo Ran's shoulder and said, "I'm really scared of you. If you have anything next time, don't go out and let the people under you Do it, you are the target of the star bandits."
Luo Ran nodded, "Pay attention next time."
It's really hard for him to run out anymore, even if the team he brings is strong and elite, accidents may still happen.
Luo Ran wasn't afraid of accidents, he just didn't want to get into a dangerous situation, so he had to worry about him while letting Lucas fight.
"What's the matter?" Luo Ran asked: "Why am I suddenly mentally attacked?"
"what……"
In order to facilitate the treatment, Xia Zhi also learned about the situation from the Lu Chenghe Research Institute and explained to Luo Ran the giant insect discovered by the detector.
"But we can't determine the appearance and true appearance of the worm, only an infrared image."
"Can I see?" Luo Ran frowned slightly, could it be...
Xia Zhi showed Luo Ran a picture of the village in his terminal, and Luo Ran immediately felt subtle.
Luo Ran recognized the square head as soon as he saw it. It turned out to be the bug he had encountered in the cave when he was a child, but it was not that big at that time.
"Maybe... he didn't come to attack me." Luo Ran frowned slightly.
He stayed in the cave for half a year, and no insects attacked him. On the contrary, perhaps it is precisely because of the energy of the insect that he can survive.
"This is inconclusive, and we don't know what it is. But you have been in a coma for a day and a half, and the research institute has made a preliminary judgment." Xia Zhi took an apple to Luo Ran and said that this day Discovery to the research institute.
"First of all, we all know that ice mines are produced because of geological energy. There are countless movements, changes and creatures under the ground. After the ground reaches a certain level, the temperature is not suitable for us, and drones will be shot down by unknown creatures. It has always been an uncharted territory."
After the first year of the opening of the universe, people have discovered countless unknown areas, but anyway, each other's well-being does not violate the river.
Xia Zhi continued: "Experts calculated the energy and strength of the bug, and concluded that it came from the unknown underground, and the lines on its back are supposed to be underground magma."
Luo Ran frowned and said, "Then why did it come up...?"
"It should be because it comes from the bottom of the eastern part of Luobing. In the eastern part of Luobing, there is not only the largest main mine of ice mines, but also countless large and small mines. Excavation works there are too frequent, too deep, and even change. In addition to the geology, and the east is connected to the sea, there is also the bottom of the sea. Maybe the bugs will come up only when they feel the waves on the ground..."
"understood."
"The research institute has also speculated and locked the species." Xia Zhi showed Luo Ran the photos on the database again. "This insect code is ex1. The insect body is originally small, but it will absorb the energy of the land and the earth's crust to make its own hard The shell protects itself, it releases radiant energy during the manufacturing process, just like humans breathe oxygen and then release carbon dioxide. Now unk is present, so we can contact and infer that unknown energy is likely to evolve ice ore into unk. After all, unk appears Everywhere has the energy trajectory of that bug."
Luo Ran tried to absorb it with his chaotic head.
"It means that the bug that appeared suddenly came up from the ground because of excessive excavation, and because of its own hard shell manufacturing process, it released the energy that allowed the stone to evolve into unk?"
"Yes, but no one has actually seen the bug so far, and is not sure if it is ex1, and even if it is, no one has actually touched it, so the instructions in the database and textbooks are not necessarily correct. Everything is just speculation."
Luo Ran looked down and thought quietly.
He thinks the information should be correct. If the information is okay, then by analogy, he should have met the insects in the cave before, and absorbed the energy released by the insects, and evolved together with other stones, so he did not die.
And it also evolved into a 3s omega after adulthood.
But humans are not stones. Those omegas, including him, have had side effects after being exposed to unk.
Then why did he accept energy for half a year but it was all right?
Luo Ran took the apple that Xia Zhi handed him and took a bite absently.
Why are there no side effects? What makes him different from others? It is impossible because he is a member of Pure City, and Pure City is just a little better in spirit, so his eruption is not as serious as the others.
"Xia Xia."
"Ok?"
"Then the government and the research institute know about bugs, what are they going to do?"
As soon as I mentioned this summer solstice, I got a headache, "Oh, don't tell me, history repeats itself. The first prince and the second prince quarreled with each other about the need to unk, but now with this worm, it starts again."
The first prince advocated catching and letting the bugs create new unk and energy for them, while the second prince hoped that the military department could find and kill the bugs to eliminate the trouble.
Luo Ran had finished eating the apples, and Xia Zhi immediately handed him a tissue.
Luo Ran asked as he wiped his hands: "Then what do you think?"
"I...? I don't know..." Xia Zhi scratched his cheek and said, "I just think that all things are mutually restrained. Since unk is a product of natural creatures, there must be some restraint, otherwise the big worm will not survive. Right? The animals and plants near Unk can't survive, right? It's just that we don't know what that thing is."
If it can be found, then there is no need to disturb the bugs. After eliminating the side effects, unk can also be refined and used.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, don't worry about the external affairs, first raise your physical and mental state." Xia Zhi got up and said: "I will turn off the lights for you, and you will have a good rest first."
"Wait." Luo Ran stopped Xia Zhi, a little embarrassed: "That..."
"Ok?"
"I want to leave the hospital tomorrow and return to the company for training."
"Are you crazy?!" Xia Zhi stared: "You tm still want to go to work?! What's wrong, the empire is going to perish without you seeing the public civilization, right? Do you still have to..."
"Xia Xia...!" Luo Ran interrupted Xia Zhi's crazy output, a little embarrassed: "I, I am not going back to work."
"Then what are you doing back!"
A gentle doctor in Xia Zhi was forced by Luo Ran to swear.
Luo Ran had to confess honestly, "The admiral's room is in the company..."
The summer solstice was taken aback.
Then Xia Zhi scratched his chin, "All right."
...
The next day, Luo Ran finished the final inspection and returned to the company with enough medicine.
Back in the familiar office, Luo Ran glanced at the coat hung on the office chair.
Although the owner has been away for a long time, after all, it is clothes that have been worn for a long time, still carrying a little pheromone.
Luo Ran lay down on Lucas's bed with his coat.
Sure enough, I feel a lot more comfortable.
Luo Ran wrapped himself in a coat and buried him in the bed Lucas had been using for several years, with the residual tobacco smell coming out.
Luo Ran looked at the dense wisteria flowers in the window and began to think wildly.
At this moment in his mind is how Lucas found him at the entrance of the cave.
I can't remember it after many years, only the vague outline and the very good-looking impression.
That was the first person he saw after losing contact with the outside world.
Lucas remember?
Luo Ran suddenly remembered what the eldest prince had mentioned by chance at the banquet. At that time, he applied for Lucas's secretary, and he was competing with him from the Royal Academy, but in the end he was hired.
Could it be...
Luo Ran thought for a while, he felt more and more uncomfortable as he was active. Luo Ran swallowed a sip of the medicine and fell asleep in a daze.
...
Comfortable.
Luo Ran slept from the afternoon to the middle of the night, waking up comfortably.
The smell of tobacco is very strong, and he feels that he is being embraced tenderly, warm and comfortable, and the dull brain pain is also relieved a lot.
Luo Ran opened his eyes and saw Lucas' tough facial features.
"Well……"
Luo Ran stretched out her hand to Lucas in a daze.
Lucas held it.
Luo Ran blinked.
Dreaming...?
Luo Ran grinned, squeezing Lucas's face and gesticulating: "Hold tighter."
"Okay." Lucas nodded, really hugging tight.
Luo Ran once again fell asleep with Lucas' arm.
Lucas looked at Luo Ran fixedly, and whispered: "Stupid Ranran."
The battle finally came to an end, and he tried his best to rush back as quickly as possible.
Then he came back and saw Luo Ran wrapped himself up in his coat, curled up on his bed and slept drowsily.
This was what Lucas had never seen before, and Luo Ran could not be so dependent in front of him.
He hugged him.
Then Luo Ran woke up and reached out to him, just like in the cave many years ago.
"Good night." Lucas hugged the man and gently released his pheromone.
