Chapter 879 The Price of Sobriety

After hearing the words of the Marshal infected body, Liu Cheng had already guessed the identity of the other party and why the other party wanted to find his sister.

However, the other party had not admitted it personally, so Liu Cheng was not sure about his guess.

So he asked:

"Yes, Qingqing was indeed adopted by my parents when she was very young.

What is your purpose in finding Qingqing?

Also, you look like humans when you were alive, why can you still retain your self-awareness after being infected?"

These two consecutive questions are what Liu Cheng is most concerned about now.

However, he also knew that it was not a matter of course that the two special infected people on the other side could stand here calmly and listen to his questions.

He and his sister could face the possibility of being attacked by the other party at any time.

The Marshal infected person did not answer immediately, but raised his palm, pinched his fingers in the air and said:

"Although the spaceship is a bit old, some functions should still be usable, right?"

Just as the Marshal infected person pinched his fingers, the system of the spaceship felt the gesture operation signal of the operator, and the cabin where Liu Cheng and others were immediately lit up.

Under the slime mold and the huge cyst, the spacecraft's displays lit up one by one, making the spacecraft cabin, which originally only produced light from the cysts and cysts, brighter.

As the various instruments in the cabin were turned on, some instruments made a clicking sound due to disrepair.

Some instruments were simply broken and did not light up at all.

Fortunately, the spacecraft structure that the marshal infected wanted to evoke was still barely able to work.

On the holographic projection table in the center of the cabin, a man in marshal's uniform and a woman in adjutant's uniform were projected.

The man looked high-spirited and the woman looked graceful, and the two were very well matched.

Liu Cheng looked at their clothes and immediately understood that the man and woman in the holographic projection image were the two special infected people in front of him.

And what surprised Liu Cheng was that he had seen this holographic projection image before.

That was the photo of the military couple that was placed in the old iron box under his parents' bed, accompanied by Liu Qingqing's adoption documents.

At this time, Liu Cheng was finally able to confirm the identities of the two.

When they were alive, they should have been Qingqing's biological parents.

Liu Cheng looked at Liu Qingqing who was sleeping unconscious in his arms, raised his head and asked in surprise:

"Are you really Qingqing's biological parents?! How did you become like this?"

The marshal infected sighed and slowly said to Liu Cheng:

"It's a long story. My wife and I were originally the commanders of a fleet sent by humans to explore the situation outside the Milky Way.

Before we had Qingqing, we also went on the same mission several times.

Although we have seen many new alien species, we were safe.

Not long after Qingqing was born, we received another investigation mission from the United Government.

We thought this mission was the same as usual. Just like the others, they would be able to return soon after a few years away, so they took the infant Qingqing with them and followed the fleet to the galaxies outside the Milky Way.

But not long after we left the Milky Way, the military scientists of the exploration team found a cave full of alien corpses on a planet.

We never thought that when we explored this cave, it was like opening Pandora's box.

The disaster came just like that.

The infection came too quickly, and even before the air detection system of the spacecraft detected it, there were mutants.

As the commander of the spacecraft, I was the first Time called the brothers under his command to start cleaning up the mutants.

In this way, we began to kill our own people.

On the first day, we killed military scientists, and on the second day, we killed soldiers who handled the bodies.

On the third day, I had already started killing officers under my command.

On the fifth day, I found that my wife and I also began to have problems with our bodies, and the rate of mutation was getting faster and faster.

It was as if the virus that infected us was also growing rapidly and could not be stopped at all.

I realized the irreversible result, and I also understood that we must not bring this horrible virus back to the Milky Way where humans are.

So let A robot that takes care of my daughter takes an escape ship back to the Milky Way.

We were worried that no one would take care of my daughter after she returned to the Milky Way, so we put a lot of valuables in it, as well as letters and photos.

It seems that you didn't receive the letters and valuables, right? "

Liu Cheng nodded and replied:

"Well, my parents adopted Hui Qingqing from a charity organization, and the only belongings she had were photos. "

The Marshal infected laughed and said:

"It seems that charities don't do anything without benefits."

Liu Cheng is no longer surprised by this, after all, human greed is engraved in their genes.

He asked again:

"Since you can maintain a clear mind, why don't you come to find Qingqing?"

The female adjutant next to him replied:

"It's not that we don't want to find her, but because we have become infected.

Although we can command the entire fleet of infected people, our consciousness has also been affected by the virus.

Wherever we go, we will attack planets with life, infecting and destroying everything we can touch.

Decades have passed in this way.

We have also been losing that crazy will in recent days.

I think it’s because our daughter is close to us. ”

Liu Cheng looked at Liu Qingqing in his arms and asked:

“Do you have telepathic ability?”

The female adjutant infected shook her head and explained:

“I didn’t have this ability originally. It was only after I woke up that I found that I could sense where my daughter was.”

The marshal infected on the side said:

“I think it should be the transformation ability of the virus.

We were infected by this terrible virus, and our whole body turned into a half-dead monster, living by devouring all day long.

At the same time, we also gained more powerful power, and even the ability to control all infected people and infected fleets.

We originally thought that our daughter was not infected and could return to the Milky Way safely.

Now it seems that our daughter should have been infected at that time.

It’s just that the virus did not turn her into a ghost like us, but turned her into a key-like existence.

When she approaches us, our consciousness will be calm and sober.

On the contrary, she will become the carrier of our negative emotions and fall into a coma because of the burden. "

Liu Cheng finally understood. No wonder Liu Qingqing is still unconscious.

It turns out that this is the price of keeping Qingqing's parents conscious.
