Quinn and Tina chased Morningstar and asked, but they didn't get an answer, what Caterina said to Morningstar specifically, it seems that only Morningstar and Caterina know, but looking at Morningstar's performance from time to time in a daze and giggling, you can know that there is nothing good when you think about it.

The dinner was a family feast, just like Morningstar's family banquet in Layton Manor, and there was no outsider, except for a few close guards from Vistock, and the rest were the personnel from Morningstar's side. I have to say that there is no harm in no comparison, even the best chefs in the empire are still much worse than Quinn's, but Morningstar did not show it, he didn't want the Vetstock cooks to lose their jobs because of this.

After dinner, Morningstar was summoned by Vistock into his study.

Morningstar knew that this time Vetstock was going to talk to him about business, after all, before coming to the Empire, Morningstar had repeatedly told Morningstar to bring troops here. In the study, there were already three people waiting, and after passing by Vistock, Morningstar learned that these three people were the Empire's Minister of Military Aircraft, Weistock's secretary, and a high-ranking official of the intelligence service.

Without the slightest politeness, the three in the room adhered to the tradition of imperial plagiarism, and after shaking hands with Morning Star, they went straight to the point.

From the introduction of the three of them, Morningstar learned the real purpose of Vystock asking Morningstar to lead the team to the Empire, in addition to the team of technicians in Pusenchus to communicate and guide the Empire's military industry, another important purpose is that there is also a dead epidemic in the Empire.

Since the previous death epidemic incident on Haiwen Star was fully reported by the Alliance, and the empire also did not relax its vigilance, the death epidemic time in the empire was quickly controlled, but what the empire people did not expect was that even so, there were still a large number of imperial people infected by the death plague. Moreover, this death epidemic is different from the last death epidemic on Haven, and the vaccine developed by Anshidar on Hyven is ineffective. The death vaccine obtained by the Empire from the Alliance has no effect on those who are only infected, not yet sick.

The area of the Empire that was affected by the death plague this time was a small mining planet in the Icefield Zone, known as Lief-2. Although the number of people living on the planet is small, the number of infected people is still as high as more than 20% of the terrestrial population, and according to the statistics of the relevant departments of the empire, the number of infected people should be around 10,000. The vast majority of people on Leaf-2 have been evacuated from the planet and quarantined, and the majority of the remaining people on the planet are confirmed infections and a small number of people who are sick. Compared with Haven Star, the death plague that appeared on Lev 2 this time is a bit strange, perhaps due to the cold climate on Lev 2, the virus is not very active, and the onset time is much longer than that of Lev 2, so there is enough time for treatment. But the reason why the dead plague on Leaf-2 is used as a strange word is not only because of its long incubation time, but also because the infected person behaves differently from the situation on Haven after the onset of the disease.

Morningstar also remembers that the dead plague on Haven is equivalent to the dead, and the connection system between the brain and the body will be severed by the proliferative structures produced by the dead plague. The patient has no emotion, no pain, let alone reason. That night, Morning Star killed an unknown number of such patients, so the memory is very clear. However, the information provided to Morning Star by Vestok's secretary indicates that although the death plague on Leeve 2 will still cause the infected to lose control of their bodies, they are much more rational than the infected on Haven, they are no longer driven by instinct like beasts, and in most cases these infected will follow some kind of command and carry out many very organized attacks. Even in a single battle, it is no longer a simple rush and a fierce attack, but a way to avoid danger.

Morningstar had a very bad feeling in his heart after receiving this information, and what he had experienced since he was saved by Anshidal on Itgleason was constantly refreshing his perception. First of all, the insects, which have long been considered beasts, not only have advanced intelligence, but also have a race that can get along with humans. Then there is the emergence of the Pusenchus people, this advanced civilization far exceeds the current level of science and technology of human beings, but it has inexplicably had all kinds of entanglements with their own low-latitude intelligent life, and then there is the change of the Mandate of Heaven Sect and the death plague virus in their hands, if you count the evolution that Morning Star experienced some time ago, this can simply be said to have opened the door to a new world. There is an old saying in the Republic that when things go wrong, there must be a demon, and the death plague infection that occurred on the Leif-2 star heard today is this "demon".

In addition, Chen Xing also learned another piece of information that he was concerned about, that is, on the Liv 2, there were a large number of traces of the activities of the Heavenly Mandate Sect. After repeatedly confirming with Vistock, Morningstar did not get any special existence on Leaf-2, which made Morningstar feel a little strange. Looking at the performance of Vistock and the other three people in the house, there is no sign of lying at all, but what happened on the planet Cliff 2 is beyond doubt, if the Manifest Destiny Sect is just to test the effect of the new death plague virus, then there is no need to go deep into the territory of the empire, wouldn't it be better to experiment in the alliance Agron Star Sector that is already in chaos, these humans infected by the new virus can also become the help of the rebels in the Agron Star Zone, why not? With this puzzle, Morningstar listened to the reports of the three of them in their respective areas of responsibility.

"Then you asked me to bring the team of technicians from Psenchus this time, in addition to technical exchanges, is the other purpose to develop a vaccine for this new type of dead disease?" After learning about the entire Leef-2 star, Morningstar asked Vistock.

Vystock nodded, removed a large finger-sized cigarette from his bosom, put it in his mouth, and sat down to himself, puffing in the smoke, and no longer speaking.

Morningstar turned to Vestock's secretary and said, "I need a living sample, I need your clinical notes, give me any information you can provide about the dead epidemic, remember, any!" You don't need to judge whether it's useful or not, got it? ”

The secretary obviously knew the identity of Morning Star, and did not care about Morning Star's arrogant attitude, and after receiving Vestok's tacit approval, he took his leave and went to prepare the information required by Morning Star. After Vistock's secretary left, Morningstar glanced at Vistock and saw that the other party was still sitting on a chair smoking and had no opinion on his arrangement, and Morningstar understood that Vistock was going to give himself full authority to deal with this incident.

Turning around, Morningstar looked at the intelligence officer inside the room and ordered, "Give me the resources you have in your hands, I need any change on Liv II from the six months before the outbreak of the plague on Liv II to the present." According to you, Lief-2 is a mining planet, populated by most of the Empire's mining practitioners and their families. It stands to reason that such a planet should not have any reason to need the Mandate of Heaven Sect to make a big move, but it is not normal that they have chosen to use the Death Plague Virus on this planet and show no sign of wanting to evacuate. I need your people to sort out the information from half a year ago to the present, and conduct a detailed check of the personnel transfer and cargo entry on the Liv 2 star, and don't let go of any clues. ”

The officer of the intelligence department was a middle-aged man, and he was obviously a little unhappy in the face of Morning Star's arrangement, but he looked at Vistock and saw that the other party didn't have any intention of speaking, so he glanced back at Morning Star angrily and said, "What's the use of what you want me to do, do you know how much information you have from half a year ago to now?" Do you know how much time I'm going to waste if I do what you ask? ”

Morningstar smiled lightly, sat down next to the chair and stretched out his hand to Vystock, who was stunned for a moment before he understood Morningstar's intentions, took out a cigarette from his arms and threw it to Morningstar. Morningstar took the cigarette from Vestock, took a sip of it, raised his right hand, and a flame lit the cigarette, and then shook it off, extinguishing the flame in his hand. Morningstar leaned back, leaned back in his chair and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This old brother should be a high-ranking official of the Imperial Intelligence Department, I don't know how you usually do things, but in our ItGleason or the Republic, we will be very serious about summarizing intelligence work, even if we can't do everything in detail, there must always be a minimum classification." You say you're wasting your time, and that's something I'm different about. Not to mention the amount of time required, I disagree with the word wasting alone. Now we have to solve the problem, and the time spent on this is meaningful, so why waste it. Besides, this information is not difficult to process, you only need to summarize according to the three directions of personnel transfer, import and export of goods, and abnormal performance, as for what the owner eats, what the west family wears, you don't need to check, it's useless. ”

Morningstar's attitude is not arrogant, and there is a reason why it does so. The Empire is known for its fierce folk customs, not to mention these Imperial soldiers. When they were on ItGleason, the Imperial GIs sent by Vistock were still dissatisfied with the Morning Star. In the current situation, if it is not suppressed strongly, then it will be difficult to deal with things in the future.

Obviously, Morningstar's methods made this high-ranking official of the Imperial Intelligence Department feel a little afraid, and he had heard that this Waitok's default son-in-law, the lover of the Empire's eldest princess, and the Lord of Itgleason, Morningstar, had many strange abilities, and when I saw it today, the rumors were really true.

Morning Star knew that Vistock was trying to make himself powerful today, and Vestock didn't understand that Morning Star had understood his thoughts, seeing that the scene was a little frozen, Vistock stood up and said: "Minister Chekov, I called Morning Star here this time because he has the experience of fighting against the Mandate of Heaven Sect and has more experience in fighting the death epidemic, so I will give him full responsibility for the handling of this incident, and I hope you can also cooperate." It may be that Morningstar's request is a little painful, but his words are not unreasonable. It's been a long time since the rest of the year, and the data aggregation work of our intelligence system has really done a bit of a good job, so let's take this opportunity to manage it well. ”

Morningstar heard Vistock's words and realized that this old man was going to kill two birds with one stone, not only to use himself to deal with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, but also to solve the internal problems of the imperial intelligence department.

The Minister of Intelligence, who was called Chekov, saw that Vistock was already on the side of the Morning Star, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to give face to the Führer, not to mention that Vestock was also dissatisfied with the recent performance of the Imperial Intelligence Service in disguise, and if he didn't bow his head at this time, it would really be death.

The Minister of Intelligence took the order, leaving only three people in the room.

Vistock looked at the cigarette roll in Morningstar's hand, which was half burned at this time, and said lightly: "Okay, pinch it, this tobacco is not those ordinary cigarettes on the market, it is very strong." ”

As soon as Vystock's words fell, he saw that Morning Star hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and then coughed vigorously a few times before he said slowly: "It's so strong, it's suffocating me, how can you stand this thing, Führer." ”

Vystock looked at Morningstar's embarrassment and said, "I'm an old smoker, you naturally can't compare, Caterina has already told me that you only occasionally light one when you're cool, and it's really a waste of my good cigarettes with your skills." ”

Morning Star nodded yes and replied with a smile, "It seems that you usually ask about me from Katarina, so you were still so serious when you came back in the afternoon." As he spoke, Morningstar dragged his stool to Weststock and sat down, and said with a hippie smile: "Husband, my daughter-in-law didn't tell you, what am I going to do?" ”

Vistock glanced at Morningstar angrily, and couldn't help but think of how he had behaved when he had sat at the same table with Layton. At that time, Layton was not much bigger than the current Morning Star, with the same fame, the same amorous nature, and countless little bees following him everywhere he went. It was a joint mission of the Republic and the Empire, the same room, the same three people, the same stools sitting beside them. The difference was that Layton had put his arm on Vetstock's shoulder, and Morningstar clearly didn't have the guts to do that right now.

Vistock turned his head to look at Morning Star, frowned, and said, "Old man? Do I agree with what you call it that? Your daughter-in-law? Caterina is an imperial princess, even if she is already close to you, should you call her Madame? ”

Morningstar was still smiling, and although Vistock had a serious expression, Morningstar's keen perception told him that Vistock wasn't really angry. Continuing to smile, Morningstar said, "Isn't it very affectionate to see me call you that?" ”

Vystock didn't answer Morningstar, and raised his hand to knock Morningstar on the head.

What seemed to be an ordinary move in Morningstar's eyes almost frightened the Minister of Military Aircraft, who was still standing aside, with his jaw dropping. Who sits on the throne? That's the Reich's Head, Vystock. Since the Minister of War and Aircraft entered politics, he has never seen anyone dare to smile in front of Vystock. Oh, no, there was one, as if it were the son of a certain general, who was a young man, a little frivolous, almost a brave man who said something to the same thing to Vistock, as if to say that when Caterina grew up, he would marry Katarina. As a result, it turned out that in the territory of the empire, no one saw this young man who was a young man with great ambitions, and even his father resigned.

But now? Instead of getting angry, Vistock gently tapped Morningstar's head like a close elder, apparently acquiescing to Morningstar's title.

Vystock's answer confirmed the speculation of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the sentence "Let it be" made the Minister of Military Aircraft feel that his brain was starved of oxygen, and he could barely stand by holding on to the chair in front of him.

"Bang dang", a collision sound caught the attention of Vistock and Morningstar, and the old man and his son-in-law who were about to continue the conversation realized that there was another person in the room. The Minister of Military Aircraft was a little nervous, and he felt a lack of oxygen in his brain and helped the chair, but accidentally let the chair touch the table and make a sound. If such a faux pas had been put in the past, he would have been reprimanded by Vistock for the least, but today's Vistock seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood, and instead of reprimanding, he said: "I've been standing for so long, let's sit down." ”

The Minister of Military Aircraft was grateful to Dade, and as soon as Fang sat down, he suddenly remembered something, got up and asked, "Führer, I don't know what task I have?" ”

Vistock lit his cigarette again, glanced at Morning Star, and motioned for the Minister of War to ask Morning Star.

Sometimes Morningstar is quite hateful, especially when he's a sycophant. Seeing Vistock take out the cigarette again, Morningstar snapped his fingers, and the flame in his hand lit the cigarette for Vistock, and the posture was no different from a dog's leg. Think that's the end of it? Apparently not, Vystock curiously looked at the flame burning in Morningstar's hand and asked, "Magic?" Because of these words, Morningstar began his performance, and lightning, ice, and fire appeared back and forth in Morningstar's hands to offer Vystock's treasure. How did it stop? It was also quite unexpected, because Vistock pinched his chin and said, "My grandson won't discharge after he speaks, right?" ”

The familiar question made Morning Star speechless, and turned to the Minister of Military Aircraft and asked, "Uncle's surname?" ”

The Minister of Military Aircraft hurriedly said that he did not dare, and sat down again after hugging his name.

Morning Star squeezed his hands and said, "Uncle Ouna, I'm going to pick you up!" ”

Morning Star's tone of voice was a little serious, and his movements were a little weird, which made the Minister of Military Aircraft, Ou Na, a little frightened, and asked cautiously, "Who?" ”

"General Vasily!"
