"You mean that even you don't know if you're a human or an astral spirit?" Inside the bridge of the SP01001 flagship, Bob stood in front of the panoramic bridge, frowning and staring at the earthy yellow planet of Melsa at his feet.

In the entire huge bridge, only he and Haoyi were left, empty and extremely deserted.

After Haoyi coaxes Erin to return to the cabin, Bob asks him about what kind of monster he and Erin have encountered. After thinking about it, Haoyi decided to tell Bob the truth, so he asked Bob to order the others, including Guo Ling and Pei Zhimao, to withdraw from the bridge.

Immediately afterwards, Haoyi honestly told almost all of his secrets to Bob. From his selection into the Ninth Special Operations Unit, all the way to the jumping worm he and Erin encountered in the canyon. Of course, this also includes his acceptance of the Star Spirit Stick Kara's inheritance in the mysterious cave of the Earth Mother Star. In Haoyi's opinion, for a superior like Bob, who has lived for most of his life, any concealment from himself will be accidentally self-defeating and anger Bob.

Moreover, there is another reason why he decided to tell the truth to Bob, that is, he is now equivalent to a member of the Erin family. After Bertrane's unexpected death, it is clear that Bobber, who has become the first person in the Republic of St. Prolime, will take over as Bertram's patriarch. For this new patriarch who seems to be rough but is actually as careful as a hair, Haoyi has no need to hide it.

In addition, another extremely important reason that prompted Haoyi to tell the truth to Bob was the nightmares that frequently appeared in Haoyi's mind. Haoyi has a very strong premonition, that is, in the near future, humanity is likely to face a large-scale invasion of alien terrag from the depths of space.

Whether it was out of his vague status as the new king of the Star Spirit, or because of his identity as an ordinary human, Hao Yi felt that it was necessary to remind Bob that he had to prepare for the coming human catastrophe.

"Uncle!" It was the first time for Hao Yi to shout out the honorific title to Bob so seriously, and said to Bob with a solemn face: "Now is not the time to investigate what my identity is, if my hunch is correct, in the near future, our St. Proli Star Region is likely to become the first human galaxy invaded by the Zerg on a large scale!" ”

“！” Hearing Haoyi's words, Bob turned his big bearded face, looked at Haoyi in amazement, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to want to say something, but Zuihou still closed his mouth again, turned his head, frowned and stared at the planet that still belonged to humans for the time being, and was silent.

"Uncle, if you think I'm being alarmist, then I've never said what I just said!" Seeing this, Haoyi shook his head slightly, sighed lightly, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Why are you so sure that the Zerg will definitely invade our St. Proli Star Zone?" At this moment, Bob suddenly turned his head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"With my intuition, and everything I've encountered with Erin, and of course, the Star Spirit King Mark that I've inherited!" Haoyi straightened up, met Bob's sharp eyes, and said angrily.

Hearing Haoyi's words, Bob's eyes darkened, and he silently put his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the bridge with some irritability. Seeing this, Haoyi stood aside with interest, quietly waiting for Bob's statement. He knew that what he had just said to Bob was enough to make ordinary people's heads crash directly, even if it was a big man like Bob, it would take time to digest it slowly.

"If I believe everything you say for the time being, what do you need me to do? Do you need me to give up my position and give you, the so-called Star Spirit King, so that you can mobilize enough resources to deal with your so-called alien zerg? Bob stopped suddenly, his tone a little cold questioning.

"Uncle, you misunderstood!" Haoyi obviously heard Bob's words, shook his head and sighed lightly, lowered his gaze and said, "If my intentions are what you imagined, I don't need to tell you so much!" It's all my secret! Saying that, Haoyi raised his head, met Bob's cold and fierce gaze, suddenly raised his hands, put on a restrained look, and said with a miserable smile: "Of course, uncle, if you really don't believe it, then you can tie me up now, kill or chop, and I, Haoyi, will never have the slightest complaint!" ”

Hearing Haoyi's words, Bob's expression froze, and after being stunned for a while, he immediately began to pace anxiously in the bridge again. Seeing this, Hao Yi smiled bitterly, then walked to the side on his own, and casually played with it on a console, bringing up the picture of Alwari City. In the picture, dense crowds of people are sandwiching the streets to welcome the Tikru army into the city.

"Hey, look at those innocent people, they may never have dreamed that there is an even greater catastrophe waiting for them!" Haoyi sighed, seemingly unintentionally reminding Bob.

"Say it, Haoyi, what do you need!" Bob's footsteps faltered, and he raised his big, tense bearded face, and suddenly asked.

"Uncle, you really misunderstood!" Seeing that Bob's vigilance was still very heavy, Haoyi shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I don't need anything!" As he spoke, Haoyi walked to the holographic bridge, looked up at the vast starry sky, and muttered to himself.

"Before I became a soldier, I was a hairy boy under the age of twenty! At that time, I didn't have any concept of war or anything like that. My father wanted my son to follow in his father's footsteps and take over his locomotive repair shop. And I was a little rebellious at that time, and I didn't want to be like my father, who lived in obscurity all his life, and Zuihou died in his own home. At that time, I had a very big and vague idea, and I wanted to be the generalissimo of the Federation, not afraid of your old jokes.

But in less than a year, I've been through so much that I can't be young and frivolous. Not to mention my strange experiences that even I dare not imagine, for the wars I have experienced, I have seen too many corpses, wreckage, broken walls, and ruins. There were too many teammates and brothers, one by one, in front of my eyes, lying in a pool of blood. I watched as they groaned and wailed helplessly, slowly turning into cold corpses.

At that time, hatred made me even more crazy to kill the so-called enemy soldiers, and I wanted to crush the so-called rebels one by one. However, the endless killing finally calmed me down. I began to think, what is the purpose of us killing each other like this? Is it for the sake of those so-called politicians, the so-called sacred reasons? Is it just to become a pawn in the hands of those who play with power, and can sacrifice at will?

No one could tell me the answer, until I was vaguely accepted by the legacy of Kara, the Star Spirit Stick. In the memory he gave me of the Star Spirit King, the Star Spirit Clan was originally a peace-loving, highly technologically advanced and highly intelligent race. Their gorgeous and advanced technology was originally only used to make life better for all the Star Spirits.

However, at a certain moment, the bloodthirsty and ruthless alien Zerg quietly changed the fate of the Star Spirit Clan. They have turned the homes of the Star Spirits into bloody slaughter fields, into barren ruin-like cemeteries. In the face of the large-scale invasion of the Zerg, in order to survive, countless star spirits angrily raised their weapons, turning those originally gorgeous and advanced technologies into tools of war. There are even quite a few star spirits who have taken away tens of millions of alien insects with their own blood. Every Star Spirit Warrior has a firm belief that they will use their blood and flesh to defend their homeland and people. They are fanatical and fearless, biochemical their combat skills to a dizzying degree. It is also they who explain the meaning of the so-called war to the fullest! ”

Speaking of this, Hao Yi paused abruptly, turned around, met Bob's already somewhat surprised gaze, and said word by word: "In my Star Spirit memory, countless Star Spirit Warriors are using blood to prove a fact that no one can deny. That is, war must be for the defense of the homeland and the family! Sword weapons must be pointed at those bloody and cruel and crazy invaders, not at their own comrades! ”

The loud and righteous words made Bob's expression change from stunned to surprised, and then there was a thoughtful silence. After a while, Bob finally showed an appreciative smile on his face, nodded slightly and said approvingly: "Boy, it's not bad, you're young, I didn't expect you to have such an insight!" ”

"Uncle, I never expect any glory, wealth, or power! I just want the people of St. Proli to not repeat the mistakes of the Star Spirits. In my memory, after several tragic battles for life and death, the Star Spirit Clan has rapidly declined. Haoyi didn't seem to care much about Bob's praise, and still frowned and said in a deep voice: "I hope that our St. Proli Star Region will not become the home of the second Star Spirit, the El Star District!" ”

Looking at Hao Yi's determined expression, Bob was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he sigh and said, "I hope your hunch is wrong, otherwise, judging from what you said, even the highly technologically advanced Star Spirit Clan will not be able to resist the large-scale invasion of the Zerg." One can imagine what a terrifying existence the insect is. After a pause, Bob suddenly raised his head, stared at Hao Yi with a pair of bull's eyes that flashed with a sharp cold light, and said in a deep voice: "Hao Yi, if I want you to take full control now, all the military liliang in our star area will be ready for the invasion of alien insects that is very likely to be imminent in the future." Are you willing to take on this responsibility? ”

"I can't do it with full authority. However, I can do my best to help you, uncle, with all the precautions! Haoyi shook his head lightly and said with a smile.

"Good! Starting tomorrow, I will ask Guo Ling to re-establish the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, and you will be the Chief of the General Staff to be appointed! Bob groaned slightly, and suddenly said with a straight face.

"Uncle, the post of chief of the General Staff, I'm afraid the son-in-law will not be able to do it!" Haoyi's heart jumped at first, and then he frowned and refused Bob's appointment.

"What's wrong?" Bob asked, frowning in surprise.

"It's very simple, the son-in-law is young, he hardly has any qualifications and prestige, and he has suddenly been promoted to a high position, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public!" Haoyi smiled meaningfully: "If my uncle insists on letting my son-in-law help, I may be able to reward my son-in-law with the position of adjutant." It's also easier to do that! ”

"Good! Then the First Adjutant of the Chief of the General Staff! When Bob heard this, he suddenly realized, his bearded face smiled like an ugly flower, and his big hand suddenly slapped on Haoyi's thin shoulder.
