Interstellar Love Hunting Guide - Chapter 87

what to do?

Russell was silent, and Jopp’s name was on the national first-level wanted list. It is reasonable to report to the Mecha Corps as soon as you see it. The state will also give him a bounty. This kind of thing he did a lot when he was a hunter. NS.

But he couldn’t do it this time.

Deep down in his heart, it has always been difficult for him to compare Jopp with people like Andreev and Kumby. Although it is true that he was deceived by him and poisoned by him, he was also single during the days when he was single. He was indeed the only friend to take care of and accompany him, especially on the days when he was kidnapped to Mining Star. The two of them went to work, and 80% of the work was done by Yopp. He just lay in the car and sleep. Just fine, but the food is always more and better.

Had it not been for Jopp, he might not have been able to support Sauter at all.

Russell concentrated on driving. The corner of his eyes kept looking at Jopp. After two years, the child was thin and even had cheekbones protruding. His blond hair was messy and his eyebrows were covered in mess. Because he just cried, the corners of his eyes and nose were red, and his hands were nervous. Grasping his knees, the joints shrugged as if they were about to pierce the skin, and the people’s hearts trembled.

Kindness is kindness, and hatred is hatred. You must be clear about your grievances and grievances. Russell tried to convince himself that he was like this, and his leg was injured again. He should get back to the base for the doctor to see. Tell Soter in private, let him think of a safe solution, telling Soter in a sense is equivalent to reporting to the country, so that it is not a harbour criminal, right?

“Go back to the base for treatment first.” Russell said, paused, and then said, “But the mecha corps is looking for you, I can’t hide it. Soter must be notified of this matter… You should know his identity earlier than I did. Right?”

Jopp nodded sadly. He didn’t have any unexpected expressions about the result of this treatment. It seemed that he had expected it. After a short while, he whispered: “Old, boss, I really didn’t expect to see you again, I , I have done a lot of sorry things. I never thought of asking you to forgive me. I should do what you do…” Biting his lip, said with difficulty, “It’s just… just something, I want to beg you .”

For Quinby? Russell couldn’t think of what he would beg of himself at this time, and just said: “Just tell me.”

But Jopp was silent, his tears slowly slipped down, wiped his eyes, and asked him, “If I go to court, he, they will kill me, right?”

The thought of sending him to death made Russell feel uncomfortable. He didn’t understand the sentencing of military courts. However, Jopp, as the adopted son of Quinby, indirectly hurt the head of the star, and most of them were sentenced to death. But he really didn’t say this, and simply said: “I don’t know.”

“It must be.” Jopp choked and murmured, “I have done so many bad things. This is what I deserve. I, I didn’t want to live anymore. You don’t know, such a day, Every, every day, I don’t know how to make it through the next minute… I’ve had enough.”

“Don’t be like this.” Russell didn’t understand what terrible things would happen to him in Quemby, so he managed to make everyone like this, and his heart became softer and softer, but comforted him, “Otherwise, I will follow him. Sauter said, see if you can be regarded as surrendering yourself. If you are willing to be a taint witness or something, you may be able to reduce your sentence…”

“No, no need.” Jopp interrupted him and whispered, “I don’t want to live anymore, really. I, I just want to beg you for one thing.”

Russell waited for him to continue, and only listened to him after a long time: “If I die, can you adopt my child?”

“Wh, what?” Russell was surprised, “You, do you have a baby? With whom?” In his mind, Jopp himself seemed to be a child, and there was no way to connect him to childbirth. What happened in the past two years? Did Quinby marry him to which rebel leader?

“Yes, I’m pregnant.” Jopp’s face became paler and he lowered his head to avoid Russell’s gaze, “Don’t, don’t ask who I am, I, I don’t want to say.”

“How long?”

“More than six months.”

More than six months? Russell became more frightened and looked up and down his body. Yopp was as thin as a shrimp, with no visible signs of abdomen. Although every male had a hard time getting pregnant, it’s too rare to consume him like this. Take care of him?

“I beg you, boss.” Jopp silently wiped his tears with water stains on his hands. “The law stipulates that the pregnant husband can be suspended. Even if I am sentenced to death, I will wait until the child is born. They will send their children to state welfare agencies and then adopt them for others.

“I’m an orphan. When I was young, I was always adopted and abandoned by different families. Then I had to go back to the orphanage again. I suffered a lot of crimes. Later… No, I don’t want him to be treated like me as rubbish. Lost, or use it as a tool, in that case I would rather take him to die together.

“Boss, you are a good person, please, please find a way to adopt him? He doesn’t know anything, knows nothing, you never tell him who his father is. I owe you the life I owe you. It’s not clear, I know I’m not qualified to ask you anything, but I, but I really can’t do it, Kun and Quinby’s father is going to die too, even if he is alive, I don’t want the child to grow up with him, he simply He is a lunatic, and the only person I can ask is you.”

Jopp fell on his knees and wept silently, his thin body trembling like leaves in the wind.

The base had arrived. Russell drove the off-road vehicle into the underground parking lot, turned off the fire, and slowly stroked his back. His spine convex hand through the thermal suit was really gone.

“Don’t cry, I promise you.” Russell agreed, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the doctor, you are too weak, you can’t insist on giving birth like this.”

Before getting off the car, Russell sent a message to Sauter and narrated the matter in detail. In the end, he said that Jopp’s body is too bad and he is not suitable for sending back to the Mecha Corps now. Can he be replaced by himself before Huang Mudu and the others return. Manage for a while.

Soon Sauter replied, saying yes, but the guards must be strengthened, and the captain of the guards will conduct a simple interrogation. He is the adopted son of Quinby, and perhaps knows some secrets.

Jopp’s leg injury is not serious. What really worries him is his body. Russell sent him to the guest room and called the doctor at the base to examine him. While waiting, Jopp kept shrinking in a wheelchair. I was shivering as I approached, and only calmed down when Russell was around, but only a little bit.

“The leg is just a fractured bone. A unicorn of his age should be able to recover soon.” The base doctor came and first cleaned up the injured leg for Jopp. It was quickly repaired, but when the fetus was checked, it was wrinkled. He frowned, “It’s weird. The placenta is six degrees mature. Why is the egg so small? It doesn’t look like a unicorn. Is it a flamingo?”

Jopp paled and said nothing. The doctor had no choice but to check his internal circulation. His expression became heavier and he signaled Russell to go out and speak.

“What’s the matter?” Russell saw that he looked wrong, and asked in confusion, “Why is he so weak? Is it because of malnutrition? Or is he hormone imbalance?”

“Neither.” The doctor whispered, “He just used too much genetic medicine, and it took too long, which caused some organs to mutate and couldn’t afford the normal feeding of the eggs, so they were consumed. There is also He may have had a miscarriage several times before, so he was injected with a lot of fetal fixation drugs during the pre-pregnancy period. These drugs have a great impact on the digestive system. Have you noticed the built-in interface on his arm? In the past few months, he They may all sustain life by injecting energy. Unicorns are a very good breed and have strong resilience. If you change to another species, they may die long ago.”

Russell clenched his fists tightly, unable to tell whether it was anger or horror. He finally understood why Jopp was reluctant to tell who his child’s father was. The most entangled in his genes in this world, the most like the unscrupulous use of genetic drugs. There is only one, and that is his adoptive father, Quinby.

“Then how is he now? Is there any danger?” Russell asked, “Can I still get pregnant?”

“I don’t know. I’m just a Level 5 physician. His situation is too complicated and I can’t solve it.” The base doctor spread his hands. “But in my opinion, he has only two ways. One is to continue to inject energy. Life takes a month or two. When the eggs reach maturity above seven, they will be taken out and incubated outside the body. The unicorn has strong endurance, and maybe he can last that long. The other is to induce labor, give up the eggs, and focus on restoring the body, although His organs have mutated, but he should be able to live a long time if he maintains them well, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to conceive anymore.”

Russell was silent for a long time and said, “I see. Go and prepare the syringe. I think he is in a very bad spirit. Let’s talk about energy first. By the way, let the kitchen make some good digestion of high-calorie food and send it over.”

The doctor left, and Russell returned to the guest room. Jopp was already asleep in the wheelchair. His chest did not rise or fall when he breathed. If it weren’t for the occasional eyelid trembling, he couldn’t tell that he was a living person. Russell took him to the bed and covered it with the quilt, and the doctor’s words still echoed in his mind.

You don’t need to ask him to know Jopp’s choice. He will choose the same if he changes. People who have never had a child can never understand why someone cherishes an unborn baby more than his own life.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If one’s life is already riddled with holes, it is better to leave hope for the continuation of life. If even this continuation is gone, no matter how long life is, it will be nothing more than waiting for death.

After the energy injection, Jopp woke up soon, his gray face recovered a little blood, and his body did not tremble, but the heart rate was fast and sick. It was a side effect of the drug, which overdrawn his remaining vitality. Maintain physical fitness during pregnancy.

“Old, boss.” Seeing Russell, he seemed to feel more at ease. He stretched out his hand to pull his hand, and then retracted it shiveringly, gently holding the sheet, pleading, “You promised me, you won’t regret it, right? ?”

Russell took the initiative to take his hand and shook his head: “No.”

“I have nothing, I can’t repay you, boss.” Yopp whispered. “But I’m lucky. I can meet you at this time. I entrust him to you. When he grows up, he will take his place. I thank you for taking care of you, I know.”

Russell couldn’t bear this kind of completely confessing last words. He shook his hand and said, “Jopp, don’t do this, I promise you just the worst plan. After all, you are his father, and The important thing is that you are still alive and you may still have a chance to watch him grow up.”

“No, I’d rather not have this kind of opportunity.” Jopp shook his head. “Only by following you will he become a man. It’s better to have a father like me? I’m a coward. How can I survive without Quinby’s father? I don’t know, he can only starve to death on the street with me…”

“How can you think like that? Everyone has the ability to survive, let alone you have learned machinery…”

“Stop talking about the boss.” Jopp interrupted him and smiled miserably. “When I was with you, you used to tell me to be independent and to enjoy life. I had such dreams back then. , Dreaming of getting rid of Quinby’s father, one day to be able to live independently like you, buy a boat of your own, open a repair shop, support yourself, and then… secretly like someone.

“But I know I can’t do it. I’m not as strong as you. I’m as timid as a mouse. I don’t even dare to resist what I know is wrong. Whenever I encounter something, I get dizzy and I can only listen to others.” Jopp smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It’s hard to change a person’s character. Let alone others, I’m afraid he is powerless. Russell can’t say anything to comfort him. He just held his hand tightly and was silent for a while. Jopp asked again: “They Have you caught Quinby’s father, right?”

This is a military secret, Russell didn’t know it, and shook his head: “I don’t know.”

“The plan failed. I knew it would fail.” Jopp murmured. “The imperial army and Andreev wanted him to die…”
