Zhou Mian raised his eyelids with difficulty and opened his eyes.
He now only felt weak, as if he had been drowning and had just been fished out of water.
Zhou Mian blinked, feeling that his brain was chaotic, and there was a tingling pain.
“Awake?” Zhou Mian originally wanted to turn his head to look, but he was so tired that he couldn’t move, so he could only roll his eyes to see who was coming.
It was still that old man.
“Remembering something?” The old man smiled and said, “Things from when you were a child?”
Zhou Mian looked at the old man silently.
Actually, he can’t remember it at all.
In that painful and lengthy dream, images of the past kept emerging, but what emerged was what he already remembered, the starting point of his memories.
Desolate star, the Zhou family… And before that, except for the blurred figure of the big brother, the dim little room and the fragmentary picture, everything was gone.
Zhou Mian said in a foolish voice: “I recovered my memory… What’s in it for you?” Zhou Mian said so, and the answer was already clear.
The old man sighed, disappointed.
The old man shook his head and said, “We need your abilities, the abilities you learned from us when you were young, the functions of your body are sealed along with your memories. Only when you recover your memory will those abilities come back.” Zhou Mian paused for a moment at this new information.
The old man grinned, “Do you know how powerful your body is…!”
Zhou Mian looked at the old man coldly.
The old man suddenly diverted from the subject, and asked, “You know… What is the most precious thing in the world?”
“…” The old man spelled it out clearly and slowly: “It’s life!”
Zhou Mian was stunned.
He didn’t expect that this Dark phoenix thought the same as him, didn’t they say that they were inhuman? They still cherished life so much…?
In the old man’s eyes once again appeared the light that Zhou Mian had seen before, a paranoid and crazy light: “So what is the greatest thing? It’s the study of immortality! If you can live forever, you have the most precious thing in the world. “
Zhou Mian: “…”
The old man said: “You have become a general, you should understand the preciousness of life, and you can also agree with my ideals, right?”
Zhou Mian said, “Saving life is not the same as immortality.”

“You forgot. But your blood can be an antidote to all the poisons in the world, and your body can withstand damage beyond ordinary people. As the years go by, your abilities become stronger and stronger. But that’s not all! You can be tougher! “ The old man said in a tempting tone: “Don’t reject or resist your deep memories, let it come out, and let your ability come back. If those abilities are developed, you’ll be almost invincible! Even if you are injured, you can recover quickly. Aren’t you impressed?”
Zhou Mian sneered, “This is what you call immortality? Human flesh shield, is it immortality to resist poison and recovering from all injuries?”
“This is just preliminary!” The old man said firmly: “What Dark Phoenix strives to build is a perfect person! This person has strong physical functions, can resist all external injuries and poisons, and as long as we study it more, we are not far from immortality.” Zhou Mian understood.
Their understanding of immortality was as using the body to resist aging, degradation of body systems, and external damage.
“Little Seven… Boy.” The old man patted Zhou Mian’s head and said, “Life is precious, and the benefits brought by immortality are incomparable. Besides, wouldn’t it be good if our experiment succeeded? Humans have stronger physical abilities to fight the Zerg!”
“Why should I be excited about this ability?” Zhou Mian said, “Even if I awaken this ability, it can’t be used by me, and I will only be tied up to become your experimental product.”
“Kid, you can’t be that selfish. For the sake of all mankind, in order for us to be able to fight the enemy, you must sacrifice!”
Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and fell silent.
After a while, Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Well, I’m not selfish. Well, according to what you said, after the successful experiment, we may be able to easily wipe out the Zerg, but… What about the cost?”
The old man was stunned.
Zhou Mian said: “Everything has a price, there can be no invincible existence, this is the law of nature, the law of the universe, and the law of all life. You have to pay as much as you get. So did you, the researchers of Dark Phoenix, pay for what you’re doing ? If you want to live forever so much, why is there no spirit of self-giving? “The old man didn’t expect Zhou Mian to suddenly refute him like this, and he lost his words for a while.
Zhou Mian sighed and said, “It’s you who are selfish, you don’t want to give, you just want to take.”
“I can’t remember everything clearly, but there is one thing I can’t forget. Back then, you captured many, many children, experimented on them one by one, and many people died. What I hear every day in the house is cries and screams, and your craziness to make children take poison and endure beatings in order for experiment results.”
Zhou Mian then looked at the interstellar report which said that Cecil had dug up a mass grave when he wiped out the base of the Dark Phoenix, and the body count had reached four figures.
“This is a necessary sacrifice for righteousness!” Only then did the old man return to his senses, and retorted on the ground: “A small number of sacrifices are exchanged for the happiness of all mankind!”
“Don’t talk to me about righteousness.” Zhou Mian rarely showed his feelings, his voice was also devoid of emotion: “If it is really the awe and yearning for life, I will not choose to do human experiments, especially such cruel and abusive experiments on children.What you want is not immortality, but its add-ons. The fear of death is the blasphemy of life.”
“You…!” The old man’s face turned red with anger.
“Xiao Qi, you are still young, you don’t understand at all.”
Zhou Mian continued: “Yes, I don’t understand your righteousness, I only know that this experiment is almost impossible, and you need more victims after each failure.”
“You…” The old man seemed unable to understand Zhou Mian, and glared, “You really don’t want immortality?”
“Don’t want .”
Zhou Mian said categorically: “What do you do after living for so long? Live long, and everything will become meaningless.”
Zhou Mian smiled softly and continued, “The most precious thing about life lies in all our ends Death will occur.”
From the moment Zhou Mian became a general, he was relieved of life, old age, illness and death. He carries the life of an army, so he must know how to value all life, but not fear death and loss.
The old man gritted his teeth and said, “Good! Good! I gave you a chance, but you don’t cherish it. I warn you, if you are not willing to cooperate, then I can only strengthen the stimulation and force you to remember! You will work for us no matter what!”
“Everyone!” The old man picked up the call bell on the side and said, “Bring in the instrument !”
Zhou Mian said coldly, “What are you going to do?”
“What do you say?” The old man smiled, let Zhou Mian put on the helmet-like instrument and said fiercely: “Adjust to the highest grade!”
One of the female researchers frowned and said, “Director, if the stimulation is too large, the risk will be too high, and the experimental products are likely to be broken…”
“It’s okay.” The old man crossed his arms and stared at Zhou Mian: “Xiao Qi has grown up, his temperament is very tough, he can bear it.”
What the old man thought in his heart was that it was really bad, it didn’t matter if he was crazy, as long as the ability was awakened and he could continue to experiment.
“Didi.”
Screams sounded again during the experiment.
——— XXXX ———
Pirates’ warships have always swam in the universe and rarely landed, but this time Chi Ying made the team stop at B4 Wasteland.
After landing, the crew immediately checked the situation of the ship and battleship, and contacted other teams for positioning.
Chi Ying stood on the deck of the main battleship, hands behind his back, looking ahead expressionlessly.
“Boss!” Chiying’s deputy stepped forward and said, “We contacted the people of Dark Phoenix, and they refused to release him.”
The deputy said a little angrily: “We made an agreement with them in the morning, we assisted them in robbing people to blackmail Cecil, and after leading Cecil through all the traps, they would hand over Admiral Zhou to us, but now they suddenly changed their minds.”
Chiying frowned slightly: “What are they doing seizing Zhou Mian?” Logically , isn’t Dark Phoenix’s target Cecil?
“It’s weird.” Chiying hooked his lips slightly, “Is there anything else I don’t know?”
Chiying was not only dressed in red, but also had a little scarlet in his eyes, and when he laughed, his thin face looked a little strange, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
“Then if they refuse to pay it, we can only rob it back.” ChiYing leaned against the control panels and said, “I’d rather see who dares to rob someone from me.”
The deputy was stunned.
Sure enough, he then heard Chiying say, “Let everyone get on the ship, locate the battleship of the Dark phoenix and prepare for battle!”
The deputy was at a loss of words.
He didn’t understand why the boss, who had always been ruthless and dashing, personally launched himself into this muddy water because of Zhou Mian’s capriciousness, let alone why he wanted to tie Zhou Mian to the pirates.
“Huh?” Seeing that the deputy was in a trance, Chi Ying raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Yes! I’ll order it right away! “The deputy hurried away.
The pirate ships prepared to attack, as did the Union forces.
“Report Admiral, there is only one tunnel left!”
“Report Admiral, the target has appeared in the field of remote reconnaissance.”
Cecil was still standing in the remote control room of the main battleship, listening to the report on the radio.
After chasing for a day and a night, they finally caught up…!
“Report! Countless warships and warships appeared in the north-south direction of the rear!
Cecil frowned slightly.
Well……?
Casper, who had returned from reconnaissance outside, pushed open the door of the monitoring room with a “peng”, and hurriedly came in: “Piartes!”
Cecil was stunned and sneered: “Front and rear attack?”
“It doesn’t look like it.” Casper frowned, “Although it sounds ridiculous, the pirate formation seems to have the same purpose as us… The target is the Dark Phoenix.”
Cecil pressed his hand on the hilt of his gun, and his index finger lightly tapped a rhythm on the silver hilt in sync to his thoughts.
“Huh…” said Cecil with a smile, “If their purpose is the same as ours, then we must find Ah Mian faster than they do. If not, Caspar, do you think we have the ability to deal with both pirates and Dark Phoenix?”
“Of course.” Casper spoke firmly.
“That’s it.” Cecil shrugged, he was bound to win.
If the pirate wants to rob someone, it depends on whether they can be faster than him.
