The atmosphere on the return trip was much more relaxed. After all, their goal was achieved - Captain Gaston was "rescued" and there were no casualties.

The twins stayed in the cabin of the aircraft in May and June because their mechs were so small that it would be useless if they encountered flying behemoths in the air, while the others remained on standby inside the mech.

Chen Yan sat across from them, and after looking at them carefully, she saw that her hands were even more itchy - she found that these two girls were simply two standard oriental porcelain dolls, with milky white skin, black smooth hair, and long curly eyelashes.

So this pair of porcelain dolls woke up from resting with their eyes closed under the light of two eyes comparable to searchlights. May saw Chen Yan sitting across from her and showed a sweet smile, "Thank you for saving us." ”

June: "Without you we would have died today." ”

Chen Yan: Why is this logic not quite right?" No...... You saved me and Ilo first, and if it weren't for you, we would have died!"

May: "But it turned out that you saved us." ”

June: "Don't look at the process, just look at the result." ”

The two of them looked at each other, "We didn't complete the Major's mission. ”

Chen Yan put his hand on his forehead, "You have done it, and you have done it very well, otherwise how would I have the life to sit here and fight with the two of you?"

"No, you saved us, we'll remember. The two girls said seriously and earnestly. Chen Yan had to reluctantly accept this one-sided thanksgiving.

Although there are these two partners who are not very easy to communicate, but on the whole, the journey back is still peaceful, and I haven't even encountered the hair of a giant beast.

Chen Yan had stayed up almost all night the day before, and once his nerves relaxed, he quickly became drowsy. The upper and lower eyelids were inseparable, and finally won the meeting. She tilted her head on the backpack she had taken off, and fell asleep instantly.

It was really dark. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the aircraft had been parked on Asher's tarmac. Rubbing the marks on his forehead, Chen Yan sat up and found that the cabin was quiet and dark, and everyone else had obviously gone down.

"Why did you sleep so hard and everyone else went down?", she muttered, carrying her backpack and trying to walk down, but when she stood up, she hit the handrail next to her.

Seeing that one of them was about to sit directly on the ground, a hand stretched out next to her to hold her arm. This frightened Chen Yan.

"Be careful", was Colonel Lance's voice, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he felt that he was too suspicious, even if Ashur's system was hacked, it didn't mean that the people of the Red Brigade would be mixed up here. Of course, it turned out that she was too relieved about Asher.

But when she stepped off the plane, she was still surprised.

There were a lot of people standing outside, almost surrounding the flying machine. However, they were all dressed in regular clothes, and they couldn't tell which department they belonged to.

Lance explained, "The brainwave generator you made has been exposed, and on the way back I applied to my superiors to upgrade your research project and personal safety to level 4. ”

Level 4?" But for the projects of the Academy of Sciences, the highest level of secrecy is Level 3. ”

"That's for general projects. For special research, the Academy of Sciences will upgrade it to level 4, which is the highest level of security. Lance looked down at her, the lights around him reflected in his eyes, like stars falling into a lake, "Chen Yan, this project is very important. You've shown that Behemoth brainwaves can be replicated, that they can communicate and even intimidate, which means that henceforth, there will be a lot less war between humans and Behemoths, and maybe we won't have to fight for our lives at all. ”

Chen Yan forgot to stagger his eyes when he listened. "I—I see, Colonel. I'll continue to do my research," she said, "I have to admit that I didn't think much about it when I first started doing this research. For now, though, I'm going to put all my energy into that. I hope that unnecessary sacrifices can be reduced. ”

Lance shook his head, "No, it's not this research that's the most important thing right now. ”

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and his brain was still a little confused when he just woke up, "Isn't this research......?"

Lance interrupted her huge plan with a little crying and laughing, "The most important thing right now is your safety. Your body, your brain, your own security. I'm afraid that the Red Brigades will do whatever it takes to find you and take you away. ”

"Huh?" she understood what Colonel Lance meant, "I'm in Asher, so it should be safe here." Besides, there is no need for the Red Brigade to exert so much effort, and I am not an important person. ”

"Have you forgotten the last time your brain was invaded? The intruder says that your brain is his designated target. ”

She nodded, of course Chen Yan remembered the energy trapped in her subconscious. On that occasion they suspected that Asher had a high-ranking man delivering news to the Red Brigades.

"So you still think Asher is safe?" Lance frowned, almost feeling like he was going to break his heart.

Chen Yan shook his head honestly. "But who can be suspected? I can't think of it, Colonel. ”

"Then don't think about it. As long as you don't tell anyone about your progress, you're safe for the time being. ”

"Don't tell anyone, including you, Colonel?" she asked, tilting her head, looking innocent. Seeing Colonel Lance's choked expression, he smiled in his heart.

"If necessary, including me. After saying that, Lance suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, with a hint of banter, "But I'm your overseer, and I know everything in your head, if I want to." ”

There is also this kind of operation! Chen Yan's head shrugged down suddenly.

Adolf, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but widen his already large eyes at a pair of light bulbs. Oh my God, he actually saw the spoiling in the eyes of the leader!

Mei Na couldn't help but roll her eyes, Adolf actually dared to look at the head pickle girl with great fanfare, it was really fatal.

"What about them, what do they do?" Chen Yan looked at the team of people around him who were guarding the aircraft in all directions, and then found that there were actually many familiar faces inside.

"These are some of the most reliable special forces that have been screened. They usually split into two teams and alternate on duty when necessary to protect you. And, of course, I, as a regulator, will be with you twenty-four hours a day, except in exceptional circumstances. Lance said with a wink and a smile.

I always felt that something was wrong. Although she enjoyed seeing Colonel Lance, the twenty-four hour ...... "But you still have a job." It can't always be with me. ”

"You're a technician on our team, so when I'm on a mission, you're going to follow. Lance was very kind to remind her of this fact. Chen Yanhu observed the other party's expression suspiciously, and finally had to give up admitting that there was no other meaning in it except seriousness.

It was late, so the first problem Chen Yan had to face was that she had to move out of her old dormitory. Because her regulators are going to be with her anytime and anywhere from now on.

But Chen Yan was very reluctant, so that the closer she got to the dormitory, the more depressed her mood became. Looking at the familiar dormitory door, his hand seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. It was only then that she realized that once she moved from here, she might be separated from Lily forever.

In fact, just not living together, others may not have such deep sadness. But Chen Yan has lived with Lily almost since he entered Ashur, and he has already regarded this dormitory as his home.

"If you don't want to move out, you can continue to live here. Lance said suddenly.

Chen Yan raised his head in surprise, and saw him continue: "But your project progress, information, and plans, including any of your thoughts on this aspect, can't tell your roommates. Can you do it?"

"I promise, Colonel!" Chen Yan said happily, completely unaware of the worry in his eyes.

"Okay, then you can rest. I remember that as soon as I walked out of this door in the future, I would tell me on the communicator. I'll be here right away. ”

Seeing Chen Yan happily open the door and go in, there was a faint complaint from her roommate Lily, as if it was "why are you on a mission again this time", Lance sighed.

Seeing her overflowing grief just now, I couldn't help but make that arrangement, but it was really dangerous, and it shouldn't be done either from a safety point or a regulatory side. But he couldn't see Chen Yan so sad.

Adolf and Mina looked at each other as if they hadn't sighed in a long time.

Of course, Chen Yan didn't know what was happening outside the door. She was busy dealing with Lily's complaints, and thinking about the fact that she was almost separated from Lily just now, she suddenly felt that even complaining was pleasant.

Lily talked to herself for a while, and found that she was still giggling all the time, and finally pinched her unbearably, "Did you listen to me carefully?"

"Yes, yes", Chen Yan was pulled back by the familiar pain under her ribs - when Lily was not satisfied, she always twisted her waist. She immediately dragged back the thoughts of flying out of the solar system, and said sweetly, "Queen, I was wrong. ”

Lily is the least resistant to this sentence, which is also Chen Yan's killer feature.

With a snort, the queen finally let Chen Yan go with great mercy.

In fact, Chen Yan held back his words in his heart, but Lance couldn't say anything after explaining, so he had to suppress all his thoughts in his heart, and he was so uncomfortable.

In the end, she climbed into bed and still couldn't sleep, so she had to pick up some leftovers and talk to Lily. Even so, I felt that this night of sleep was extraordinarily happy - especially after facing the crisis of "sleeping in separate rooms" that almost became a reality.
