Chapter Seventy-Eight: Giovanni
A Saint Bernard led the way, four tall moose shook their heads and followed behind with their sleds, and a fist-sized bell around their necks sounded like a cheerful Christmas song of "Silent Night" in the howling snowstorm.
The young "Santa Claus" was so absorbed in driving the sleigh that he didn't communicate much with the two passengers behind him – maybe he couldn't, or maybe he didn't.
Fortunately, the two passengers didn't seem to have any desire to communicate, and even after he reported the chairman's name, Lu Mingfei didn't even ask a word, just nodded and got on his sled, and then took his "battle brother" to rummage through the sled like a hungry wolf, and even fed the meat sausage to the guide dog.
It's no wonder that this kind of terrible ghost weather will freeze to death even if you stay outside all night, not to mention these two young people who are not covered with their bodies as if they were fleeing urgently, it is a miracle that they can survive until now. So he flicked the reins, causing the moose pulling the cart to speed up.
……
"So...... Captain, your parents are here? ”
Fingal curled up on the sleigh and whispered to Lu Mingfei.
He didn't care if he didn't ask any questions and listened to Santa Claus's words, and he didn't care if Lu Mingfei's parents were lying traps set up for them, anyway, it was better to go to a place that was unknown but definitely had food resources than to wander in a blizzard;
And instead of worrying about whether Lu Mingfei's parents are real, it is better to worry about whether his parents recognize Lu Mingfei, a son who has become like he came out of the set of "Terminator" inside and out.
"Maybe."
Lu Mingfei wrapped his military coat tightly. Lu Lincheng, after hearing this name, a clear and elegant man's face appeared in his mind;
In the memories of the depraved puppet, this man is his father, and together with his mother Giovanni, they form an ordinary and warm family of three; But after being tempted and degraded by the demons, they were infected and tempted by the three of them to perform crazy, blasphemous, and sinful acts for thrilling pleasure, and then they were killed by the puppets themselves, and made into two screaming and wailing living weapons.
However, the reality seems to be different? His "father" was not a down-and-out intellectual in a certain research institute, and he was still in a high position from the title of "chairman".
Either way, if his parents were real, he would do his best to protect them, especially if there was a clear presence of Chaos demons in this Nibelungen space. He didn't want the blasphemous tragedy of his memory to happen again.
The two stopped talking, and paid attention to some of the features on both sides of the sled's path, building a map route in their minds.
After about twenty minutes, a bright light appeared in front of the sleigh, and in this white and dark snowstorm night, there seemed to be an unknown city, like City 023.
However, it is much smaller than City 023, with Soviet-style Khrushchev buildings stacked on top of each other like strange and alternative castles, and several searchlights are shining down to illuminate and guide the way forward for Christmas sleighs.
"I vaguely heard a dog barking, and the breed must be as fierce as a wolf."
"We passed at least four checkpoints, and even when it was open, there were at least fifty people staring at us."
"Most of the locations outside the route are suspected to have traps or mines, so keep an eye out for the route."
……
Lu Mingfei lowered his head, wrapping himself in a military coat while restraining his demeanor and sharpness as a warrior. The essence of oneself, the hidden demon, this small city in the Nibelungen...... There's no need to pay much attention to yourself until you understand the situation.
Especially that his "parents" are still here, Lu Mingfei didn't plan to find them with a cold face with a sword, and then directly asked, "Who am I, and who is Lu Mingze......
The reindeer pulled the sleigh and drove into the courtyard in front of this "Soviet-style castle", sheltering it from the wind and snow is a tall spruce forest, looking up at the dense spruce leaves as if suspended in the air; The temperature rises slightly, and the heat from the Khrushchev Towers that seem to be built around them is slightly preserved and absorbed by the trees, forming a symbiotic relationship.
"Mr. Lu Mingfei, we have arrived." "Santa Claus" grabbed the reindeer, and the sleigh stopped in front of one of the Khrushchev buildings, and a conspicuous red cross sign could be seen hanging on the door.
Lu Mingfei found a middle-aged woman in a silver-gray uniform among a group of doctors and nurses in white coats, her face was full of anxiety and a little expectation, and she quickly met her eyes on the sleigh.
Giovanni, compared with the woman in that memory, she looked more dignified, although there were a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her sharpness had not faded with time, she was dressed in a silver-gray uniform and heroic, and there was a silver badge in the corner of her collar.
It has a certain combat effectiveness. Lu Mingfei subconsciously labeled his "mother" as a warrior's perspective.
He and Fingal got off the sled, and Giovanni ran anxiously, and before she could get closer, Lu Mingfei got down on one knee, greeted him with another solemn courtesy, and said in a deep voice:
"Mother".
This etiquette was learned by Lu Mingfei from the "Emperor's Scythe" warband, their parent group belongs to the start-up group "Ultramarines", and their genetic prototype Robert . The legend of Killiman is as widely read and remembered among the warbands as his book The Astarte Sacred Codex.
In that story, it tells the story of Master Killiman's "mother", a lady who raised him on the planet where the original landed on her, and how all Ultramarines should exercise noble courtesy towards her...... It should make sense here.
This behavior startled Giovanni for a moment, and then she reacted and ran to pull Lu Mingfei up, complaining in her mouth: "Silly boy, why are you so solemn!" I don't wear much clothes on such a cold day, so let my mother see if she is stupid from the cold......"
Seeing that Lu Mingfei was wearing nothing in his military coat (the dragon scales covering her body faded in advance), she was so distressed that she almost shed tears, and hurriedly wrapped Lu Mingfei's military coat tightly and led him into the building, scolding as she walked: "Lu Lincheng, isn't this pure fool!" If you don't have two cars, you have to pick you up with Santa Claus pulling a sled to see what it froze you into......"
Lu Mingfei is actually not cold, his strong physique makes him able to resist this level of cold, but in front of this nagging woman, he seems to have become a child who needs her to shelter again.
His heart touched slightly.
In Lu Mingfei's cognition, almost all Astartes no longer cared about their experiences and memories before undergoing the transformation operation, downplaying and discarding them, and devoting themselves to penance and fighting to the death for the empire.
And as for the parents...... Astarte's "father" is only the father of the genetic prototype of the parent group of his warband.
It's not just a nominal, cultural name. The genetic seeds implanted in the modified surgery contain some genetic information from the protoplasm, and the selected mortal body will be more inclined to virally comprehensive modification and evolution of the germ cells and proteins contained in the genetic seed, and inherit/inherit some of their genetic traits and even traits from the protogen.
For example, the ugly and deformed freak will become tall and handsome when he is implanted with the genetic seed of Saint Lies, and when he walks out of the blood coffin after the transformation operation, he will become tall and handsome like an artistic sculpture, and the descendants of the Holy Blood Angel will inherit/inherit his nobility and perfection from Saint Lies, which makes the gene prototype physiologically completely in line with the title of "father" of Astarte.
So this makes him feel a little strange when he personally feels what "mother's love" is...... With touched?
Fingal was left behind, and hurried to follow with a "I haven't gotten in the car yet" expression.
This is a hospital, with doctors in white coats and nurses in green uniforms, who have turned from idle to busy, and began to examine the bodies of Lu Mingfei and Fingal, two new "patients" in the hospital; From a medical point of view, it is a miracle that the two of them can survive outside for a day in thin clothes, not to mention that their bodies do not have any cell necrosis or frostbite, and the muscles of the strong and beautiful are as hot as a furnace, as if they have burned the faces of the beautiful nurses, and there are constantly eyes on the naked bodies of Lu Mingfei and Fingal.
"My son has grown up, and now I guess I can't hold it. But the body has become very strong! Looks like you've been working out for a long time? ”
Giovanni squatted next to Lu Mingfei, pinched his strong arm muscles, and his eyes were full of love and pride for his son.
"Hmm. There is a workout. Lu Mingfei nodded and responded gently to his mother.
"Okay, okay, I was worried that if you didn't have a mother, you would not be bullied by others in school, but now it's okay, whoever bullies you, you will use this tendon meat to beat you back!"
"At first, there were some naughty kids who attacked me, but I taught them a lesson, and they didn't harass me after they came out of the hospital." Lu Mingfei recalled the experience he had when he first returned to his hometown.
"That's right! That's how it should be! Worthy of my cub! Giovanni patted the recliner and smiled proudly, but then she was a little lost, touched Lu Mingfei's head and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry son, my mother didn't accompany you to grow up happily and let you stay there alone......"
The image of the woman in front of her painfully watching her son undergo terrible changes and being killed and made into a living weapon still flashed, but it did not affect Lu Mingfei's mentality and thoughts.
"I'm fine, mother. I'll protect you. Lu Mingfei grabbed her palm and said softly and solemnly.
Giovanni was stunned, there seemed to be a glitter in her eyes, she blinked, and chuckled helplessly: "Okay, I know that you are the famous S-class of Kasselwei, but don't worry, no one in this place has the ability to bully your mother." ”
"Hungry, aren't you? Let's go, Mom will take you home for dinner. Giovanni pulled out a set of clothes that had been prepared a long time ago.
"But......" The doctor seemed to want to say something, but was pressed back by her commanding indifferent tone: "It's enough, if you have an opinion, go to Lu Lin City!" ”
In the blink of an eye, she turned back into the image of a loving mother and put on that heavy military coat for Lu Mingfei.
"This classmate is ......" Then she turned her attention to Fingal on the side, Fingal immediately put on a pair of pants and stepped forward very courteously, and replied with a lively and lovely "Hello sister, I am your son's good classmate, good friend, good brother, fight side by side, life and death"......
It turned out that the woman still liked the title "sister", and Fingal's fluent Chinese with a small mouth smeared with honey soon made Giovanni happily take him home with him.
