Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Chapter 597: Marks

Lu Chihuan curiously poked half of his head out from behind him and blinked a few times.

Relying on the fact that he was in spirit state and Zhou Zhi couldn't see him, he deliberately stretched out his hand and hung his whole body on Zhou Zhi's back, looking like a ghost in a horror movie.

"what happened?"

Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard his voice, and pointed to the traces on the ground that looked like burns, lowered his voice and said, "It seems that someone has been active here."

Lu Chihuan looked in the direction of his hand and saw that stones of appropriate sizes were carefully stacked in a circle on the shore. There were also embers of burnt branches and leftover fish bones on the ground.

It looks like...

It is true that someone stopped here briefly and even grilled some fish.

This forest has always been sparsely populated.

In addition, the small planet had just encountered the impact of a tide of star beasts not long ago, and the ordinary residents on it had no time to escape. They probably wouldn't have the leisure to come here to explore, so the person who stayed here should be one of Zhou Zhi's men.

Lu Chihuan guessed so.

So he asked directly.

Zhou Zhi was not surprised by this, but he still raised his light gray eyes and looked around. His gaze fell on a tree trunk not far away, and then he walked closer with his long legs.

Lu Chihuan lay on his back and looked at him carefully with his beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed.

"like……"

"There's a notch?"

It seemed that someone had carved a hidden and special symbol on the tree trunk with a knife. The mark was deep but also very new, as if it had been carved not long ago.

"Ah."

Zhou Zhi responded in a low voice.

He touched the marks on the tree trunk with his bony fingers, and patiently explained in a deep voice, "This is the symbol used by our military to communicate with each other. It should have been left there by one of my men."

Lu Chihuan nodded.

He rested his chin on Zhou Zhi's shoulder, his thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembling slightly, and asked in a nasal voice in confusion, "What does this symbol mean?"

Zhou Zhi chuckled faintly.

He was not impatient with Lu Chihuan's question, but explained slowly in his low, magnetic voice: "Look, the traces here mean that he is alone now, and this means that there is no crisis for the time being..."

Lu Chihuan was confused when he heard this.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If we follow this scar now, we can probably find your men. Do you want to go look for them now?"

Zhou Zhi paused.

But he shook his head, "Not on the way."

"And if the person behind the scenes deliberately lures the star beasts to deal with me, who knows, it might continue to implicate them, so it's better to separate for a while. They will be safer if they don't follow me."

Also.

Although the mastermind who drove the star beasts to attack them has now become quiet for some unknown reason, Zhou Zhi can be sure that the other party will never let him go easily.

thus.

This mark appeared too coincidentally.

After listening to Zhou Zhi's words, Lu Chihuan sighed and said, "You do have a point."

In his heart, he cursed the so-called god and the men sent by the other party to do the dirty work. After that, he was worried that Zhou Zhi would be in a bad mood, so he patted him on the shoulder again.

Just think of it as comforting the other person.

"But you don't have to worry too much. I just estimated that you will be able to completely walk out of this forest in a day or two. Once you meet up with your subordinates, the mastermind behind the scenes will no longer be able to do anything to you."

First of all, there is strength in numbers.

Secondly,...

By then, Zhou Zhi's timeline will be back on track. If the other party wants to change it at that time, it will be extremely difficult.

Listening to the clumsy but slightly concerned clear voice next to his ear, Zhou Zhi could already imagine... the other party scratching his ears and squeezing out a few useful words to comfort him.

All of a sudden.

The corners of his lips involuntarily curled up, and he replied in a good mood, "Senior, you are right."

Walked all morning.

Zhou Zhi sat down on a big rock by the lake and took a short rest.

The fish in the lake seem very bold.

Now it was wagging its tail leisurely in front of Zhou Zhi, occasionally taking a few bites of the lush and crisp water plants on the shore. It didn't seem to be afraid of people, and even looked a little silly.

Lu Chihuan watched with great interest for a while.

I saw that Zhou Zhi had rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs at some point, and after going into the water, he easily caught two big fish. He simply processed the fish.

Then they roasted it over the fire.

I don't know what kind of fish it was, but the meat was crystal clear and tender.

It is especially fragrant after being roasted.

Lu Chihuan suddenly felt a little greedy.

It's a pity that he is in soul state now, so he can't eat anything at all. He can only sit by the fire and watch, looking a little pitiful.

Zhou Zhi listened to this "senior" for a long time without saying anything, and then he seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and asked, "Want to eat?"

Lu Chihuan answered obediently:

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Zhi's cold and indifferent light grey eyes seemed to show a faint smile, and he deliberately said in a teasing tone: "It's okay, if you can't eat it, you can smell it more."

although.

He wasn't sure where the "senior" was, but he still passed the grilled fish forward.

Lu Chihuan wrinkled his nose.

Naturally, he realized that Zhou Zhi was teasing him, so he concentrated his strength on his lips, then puffed up his cheeks mischievously and blew gently into Zhou Zhi's ears.

Zhou Zhi was completely unprepared for this.

Caught off guard, he only felt a warm breath brushing against his ears, with a faint citrus scent.

It made his earlobes itchy.

You know, Zhou Zhi has never been used to being too close to others. This is the first time someone is so bold, so Zhou Zhi rolled his Adam's apple in disbelief, his light gray pupils trembled unconsciously, and even his wrist shook.

"Humph."

Lu Chihuan snorted heavily.

She seemed very pleased with Zhou Zhi's reaction, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved subconsciously, "... I let you tease me."

Zhou Zhi rubbed his eyebrows.

I originally wanted to teach the other person a lesson, but he was just making a harmless little joke. If I really said something, it would seem like I was being petty.

therefore.

The words in his mouth rolled around for a few times before he finally swallowed them.

Forget it.

Seeing that this "senior" was still young and had helped him a lot before, he decided not to argue with him about this little thing.

After Zhou Zhi figured it out, he took the initiative to apologize to the other party. He lowered his eyebrows, and his cold and indifferent voice sounded a little gentle, "Senior, I was wrong just now."

"How about this."

"When you have your own body in the future, we will come to this forest again, and I will grill fish for you myself."

"Ok?"

Lu Chihuan's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zhi for coaxing him like a child, the depression in his heart faded a lot with these words. At this moment, he hugged his arms and muttered, "This is more like it."

Zhou Zhijian coaxed the person into submission.

The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up, and his heart relaxed slightly.

He picked up the grilled fish slowly and began to eat. Although he had worked in the military for several years, his movements when eating were still calm and elegant.

Lu Chihuan couldn't eat.

Now she was too idle to do anything, so she simply lay on Zhou Zhi's back, picked the wild flowers that were blooming at her feet as if she couldn't help it, and put them on Zhou Zhi's head one by one.

Although Zhou Zhi was slightly aware of it.

But not only did he not get angry, he still followed the other party.

It's just a harmless little thing.

It can't hurt him.

He maintained his upright sitting posture from beginning to end and ate the two grilled fishes cleanly. However, when he stood up from the stone, the golden wild flowers fell to the ground with his movement, like flowing gold pieces.

"senior."

Zhou Zhi spoke meaningfully, his tone slightly helpless.

"You."

Lu Chihuan retracted his hand guiltily, glanced at Zhou Zhi's expression, and then plucked the petals off his hair in a flattering manner, "Ahem, I'll pick them off for you right away."

He fiddled with it a few times.

It did mess up Zhou Zhi's hair a bit.

Zhou Zhi quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Chihuan's wrist, "Okay."

"Senior, please stop it."

He suspected—

The senior was teasing him on purpose.

Several strands of his hair stood up because of Lu Chihuan's actions just now, which at first glance diluted his aloofness and indifference, making him seem less tense than before.

Lu Chihuan took two glances.

Finally I couldn't help laughing out loud.

After a short rest, the two continued along the original route, stopping and walking along the way and spending most of the day there.

This time Zhou Zhi didn't find the cave.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he simply climbed up the tree, found a thick branch to lean on, closed his eyes and took a rest.

"You should have a good rest."

Lu Chihuan sat on a thin branch. His soul was as light as a feather, so he sat steadily. "I'll keep watch for you. I'll call you if there's any danger."

Looking down from his angle, he could see everything around him.

Zhou Zhi was stunned.

Whenever he went on missions with his teammates in the past, he would always take the initiative to take on the task of keeping watch at night.

It's not just because his physical fitness and energy have always been strong and he can hold on even without sleep for several days and nights, but also because he is not willing to put his life in the hands of others.

All of a sudden.

A warm feeling rose in his heart.

Therefore, he did not reject the other party's kindness, but nodded instead.

"it is good."

He held the weapon in his hand, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a light sleep. Unfortunately, his sleep was usually light, so it wasn't long before he was awakened by the slight vibration of the ground and the hurried footsteps.

The moment he opened his eyes.

That clear voice also sounded in my ears, "It seems that there is a star beast running towards here, and there seems to be a person in front."

Zhou Zhi's eyes were indifferent and distant.

There was almost no sleepiness at all.

After he quickly sat up from the tree trunk, he saw that there was indeed a star beast tracking and biting a human not far in front of him, and that human was wearing a black military uniform.

His feet were not stable when he ran and he seemed to be stumbling.

Looks like he's injured.

After Lu Chihuan observed carefully, he turned his head to look at Zhou Zhi's handsome and stern profile, "Do you want to help him?"

Zhou Zhi drew his weapon.

He tapped his chin gently towards Lu Chihuan in a soothing manner, "I'll do it. After rescuing him, we'll act according to circumstances. Senior, please don't expose yourself yet."

Lu Chihuan was stunned.

But he soon understood Zhou Zhi's idea, so he sat on the thin branch again, "I understand."

Zhou Zhi jumped down from the tree easily.

The powerful mental force hit the star beast like a surging wave. Within a few breaths, the star beast was already dizzy and stumbling, shaking its head.

It seemed as if he was going to fall to the ground at the next moment.

Before it could react.

Zhou Zhi's face had already turned cold. He jumped up and stabbed the light blade in his hand into the back of its head.

The star beast screamed madly in pain and tried to throw the human on its back off its body, but blood gushed out of the wound and its life began to slowly slip away.

to the end.

The moment it fell to the ground with a loud bang, it closed its eyes unwillingly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The man who was chased by the star beast earlier became excited when he saw Zhou Zhishi. He hurriedly saluted Zhou Zhishi and said, "Your Majesty, you are safe and sound. It's really great."

Zhou Zhi took back his weapon.

After casually pulling a leaf from the side to wipe off the remaining blood on it, she lowered her light grey eyes and looked at the man in front of her, "I don't think I've ever seen you before."

"Which unit are you in? Tell me your number and current position."

Because the communicator was lost in the chaos, he is currently unable to confirm the specific identity of the man in front of him, so he can only verify it through this method.

The man straightened his back.

He fluently reported his current position and a series of numbers, speaking clearly and fluently, and then he explained respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Ever since His Majesty lost track of him due to the star beast tide, the Admiral has sent out several teams to search for him. However, our team's luck was really bad. We were attacked by star beasts after entering the forest."

"I'm separated from my teammates."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty came to my aid in time, otherwise I would have died here today... But fortunately, misfortunes often bring blessings, and it is a great blessing to find Your Majesty."

He spoke respectfully.

"His Majesty."

"I still remember where the exit of this forest is. Why don't I take you out now? I think there seems to be something strange in this forest. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be."
