Chapter 96: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (1)
The cold rain hit him head on, and when Shen Minghuan regained consciousness, he thought he was in a dungeon or a torture chamber.
He opened his eyes and saw a low "roof".
[Xiao Jiu. ] Shen Minghuan sighed, [Do I have no place to live now? ]
He found himself lying in a cube made of iron sheets. The cube was very small, and he could only walk three steps in it, and he had to bend over.
The empty "house" was in full view, and the furnishings were pitifully few.
There was a small backpack in the corner, and next to the backpack was a cup with a missing corner, and these were almost all the property of the original owner.
The place where he was lying at the moment was covered with a piece of cloth that was not very thick, probably a "bed", and it was a foldable one. When he was not sleeping during the day, he could roll it to the side and it would not take up any space.
But now it was soaked by rain.
"Boom--"
The rain was getting heavier, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The heavy rain poured down, hitting the iron sheet, making a huge and piercing noise. The iron sheet seemed to be unable to bear the weight, and several cracks appeared on the top, and they were still expanding.
The rain rushed in through the cracks, and the small iron house had no escape.
Shen Minghuan sat up, looked at the shaky residence, and sighed again.
Why is one world worse than the other? In the last world, there was at least a thatched house that could shelter from the wind and rain.
The system also frowned, [Host, bear with it. Although it is a bit miserable now, it will get better after you recognize your ancestors. ]
Fortunately, the host's body in this world is not as bad as in the last world.
Shen Minghuan was too lazy to find a place to shelter from the rain. He didn't care that he was soaked. He leaned against the iron wall and found a comfortable position, and then casually checked the plot.
No wonder the system said that he would live well after recognizing his ancestors. It turned out that this was a true and false young master script.
The original owner was supposed to be the second son of the alliance commander Mo Hongxue.
The Mo family lived in the core area of the only superior star. The planet known as the "Emperor Star" was worth every inch of land, but the Mo family could own a huge villa there, which showed their wealth.
The original owner's mother, Shao Kunyao, was the daughter of the richest man. She had the right to operate dozens of commercial stars, and the income every minute and every second was an extremely large number.
If nothing unexpected happened, the original owner would have no problem living in a diamond house.
And wealth is far from being the most dazzling embellishment of the Mo family.
Mo Hongxue could become the commander of the alliance, and was also the leader of the four commanders, because he was the only S-level spiritual power owner in the alliance.
This world has developed to the interstellar era. People's footsteps are not limited by planets, and they can start a journey to different star fields anytime and anywhere.
However, while facing a more vast world, they also encountered more powerful enemies.
——Zerg, a non-intelligent race different from humans, has become a major concern for humans with its indestructible body and strong reproductive ability.
Devouring is the instinct of Zerg. There seems to be nothing they can't eat on their menu, even soil can be digested.
It's just that soil tastes bad, even Zerg dislike it.
All the planets they have appeared on can almost be said to be riddled with holes and no grass.
Fortunately, while technology has reached an extremely high level in this world, the understanding and research of "humans" themselves has not fallen behind.
They found that although the Zerg are physically strong, their spirits are weak and decayed, while humans are the opposite. Humans are sensitive to this, and this may be the key to victory.
In this era, all people are soldiers. Newborns are enlightened with various toys to exercise their mental power. When they are a little older, they will use optical brains to connect their mental bodies to the star network and learn to operate mechas.
It is conceivable that as the undisputed strongest person in the alliance, the commander Mo Hongxue who led the First Legion to guard the East all year round and eliminated countless Zergs, he is very popular and admired by the people of the alliance.
Shen Minghuan raised his wrist. With the memory of the original owner, he easily understood how to operate.
He opened the Star Network Forum with ease, typed the word "Marshal" at the top, and patiently waited for this optical brain that should have been eliminated long ago to run.
After a long time, a bunch of mosaic insults slowly popped up in front of him.
Mo Hongxue was not a natural S-level warrior. When he first determined his talent, he was only A-level. It was the fighting and charging on the battlefield for several years that made him rise to S-level.
Before him, the alliance was fortunate to have a peerless genius who was SS-level when he first awakened.
The alliance regarded him as a treasure, regarded him as a magic weapon to eliminate the Zerg queen and completely end the war, and devoted all resources to cultivate him and give him whatever he wanted.
Tang Chaoyan was an orphan, but he grew up under the eyes and care of all humans.
And he lived up to the expectation. Not only was he good at fighting, but he also showed his excellent military leadership skills. He once led a large army to the Zerg nest.
The Alliance has four commanders, each guarding one side and directly obeying the Alliance's dispatch, without any distinction between superiors and subordinates. It was only after Tang Chaoyan appeared that the position of chief commander was added.
Even the old official title of "Marshal", which has been submerged in the torrent of time, was dug out from history by people to refer to him affectionately.
This honor is the first time since the establishment of the Alliance.
All human beings have extraordinary respect and love for this hero who grew up under their watch. It is estimated that even if he conflicts with the leader of the alliance, people will defend him.
Humans have always been a very double-standard creature.
So with Tang Chaoyan's reputation in the past, even if he did something wrong, others would be condemned as a rat crossing the street and their crimes would be unforgivable, but for him, they would only be tolerant and think that he had his own reasons.
But this man committed a crime that could never be forgiven - treason.
On the battlefield of the final decisive battle, in full view of the public, 500,000 troops fought bloody battles, and the Zerg nest was in front of them.
Hundreds of high-definition cameras broadcast live to all mankind without delay, and are about to witness the alliance win again and completely eliminate the Zerg that has threatened them for three centuries.
Everyone was almost ready to cheer.
However, Tang Chaoyan rebelled.
He turned around on the battlefield and wielded the butcher knife against his compatriots.
The carefully trained SS-level warriors and the commanders who were given supreme power suddenly became the enemy's sharp blade, and everyone was caught off guard.
The alliance retreated and barely regained the border, and Tang Chaoyan died.
After this battle, the alliance suffered heavy losses, and Tang Chaoyan, as a traitor, was also nailed to the rack of shame.
In the past, they called him "Marshal" with full trust and love. Now Shen Minghuan searched on the Star Network and could only see a lot of insults and curses.
No one knew the reason for Tang Chaoyan's betrayal. He greeted everyone on the Star Network before the expedition, and said that he would return victoriously.
But he betrayed so resolutely, and threw himself into the Zerg camp without hesitation, even ignoring his young son who was just two months old.
With the current level of civilization of the alliance, it would not vent its anger on an ignorant baby, and there is no such thing as collective responsibility or collective punishment in the current law.
But just like they couldn't help but give preference to Tang Chaoyan, now they can't help but hate his family. In an instant, the people of the sect were boiling with resentment, and the alliance had to give an explanation.
At that time, Tang Chaoyan was away on a military expedition. He was good friends with Mo Hongxue. His wife Shao Kunli and Shao Kunyao were sisters, so he took his son to live in the Mo family temporarily.
Tang Chaoyan's son was born only one day apart from the original owner. The babies looked similar and were well protected. Outsiders had never seen them.
In order to protect Tang Chaoyan's only bloodline, Mo Hongxue swapped the two children and announced to the outside world that the original owner was the son of the "Marshal". He even changed the genetic test results to completely confirm the original owner's identity.
In this regard, although the two mothers struggled and were unwilling, they acquiesced.
Someone in the alliance launched a blood letter movement of 10,000 people, demanding the execution of Tang Chaoyan's wife and children. The congressmen discussed this for a long time.
In order to calm the anger of the masses and to uphold the dignity of the law, they decided to deprive Shao Kunli and the baby of their Alliance citizenship and exile one of them.
There are Zerg and wandering interstellar pirates outside the country. Without the protection of the Alliance army, they may encounter danger at any time. This treatment is almost another level of "execution".
The original owner was carried aboard the star destroyer by Shao Kunli, and before that, they had been imprisoned in prison for two months.
Being alive is a blessing in disguise. Originally, Mo Hongxue had made arrangements. With the protection of the Mo family, the two could survive even in the barren foreign star.
When the storm passed, he designed a fake death for them to escape, and then found a reason to adopt the original owner.
By then, Shao Kunli might only be able to hide his identity, but the original owner would still be the glorious young master of the Mo family with a changed identity.
Unfortunately, perhaps Tang Chaoyan was really sinful, so that retribution came to his wife and children, and the destroyer actually encountered a very small probability of space-time turbulence.
The soldiers driving the starships took emergency shelter and escaped in mechas, and no one cared about Shao Kunli and the baby.
When the news was passed back to the alliance, some people applauded and said that this was the retribution of karma.
Space-time turbulence can tear everything into pieces, and even the strongest starships cannot resist it. This is common knowledge known to everyone in the alliance.
Everyone thought they were dead, including Mo Hongxue and Shao Kunyao.
But in fact, the turbulence lasted for a very short time.
During that short period of time, Shao Kunli tried her best to protect the baby in her arms.
The A-level female warrior was promoted to S-level under extremely strong beliefs, and she overdrew all her spirit like a sacrifice.
Shao Kunli was submerged in the turbulence, and her body was gone.
The original owner survived.
The baby fell to the ninth-level star with the main cabin of the starship that was on the verge of breaking, and was picked up by an old man who was scavenging.
Although the ninth-class star is so poor that it is called a garbage star, it is at least within the scope of the alliance. Further away is the Qinglong Legion guarding this area.
The bodies of the soldiers formed a wall, and behind them was the protection circle drawn by the alliance for all citizens.
No matter how miserable, destitute, and downtrodden life is in the circle, you can rest assured to close your eyes and sleep peacefully when the moon rises.
If the wall is not broken, foreign races cannot get close and cannot hurt humans in the slightest.
Shen Minghuan's face was full of question marks, and he was puzzled. [Mo Hongxue owed Tang Chaoyan a favor, why didn't he sacrifice himself? Take someone else's life generously? ]
The system was stunned, and it thought about it: [Maybe it's because the age doesn't match? And host, you are not someone else, you are his son, this behavior is great among humans. ]
[You are his son. ] Shen Minghuan despised.
