Major General Alpha (22): Why are there so many spaceships outside?

Zhou Qinghao didn’t agree to take a bath with Gu Juntian, which left the people watching the live stream quite disappointed: “Just say yes to him!”

“Lieutenant General Gu just wants to bathe with you, why not agree?”

“We want to see Lieutenant General Gu’s muscular body!”

“Lieutenant General Zhou, don’t chicken out, hurry up!”

…

Of course, seeing everyone so excited, there were also some more clear-headed viewers reminding others: “You should be grateful Lieutenant General Zhou didn’t agree, otherwise the streaming platforms definitely wouldn’t dare broadcast it and would cut the stream off.”

“This live stream is illegal! Illegal! Everyone calm down.”

“Thank you Lieutenant General Zhou for saving this live stream!”

…

Before, when Gu Juntian was carrying the accusation of colluding with the Zerg, the platform naturally dared to broadcast anything.

But now it’s different—now Gu Juntian was a national hero!

If Zhou Qinghao had actually gone into the bathroom with him, the platform wouldn’t have dared keep the broadcast going.

In any case, they managed to keep the live stream going, which was something to celebrate.

Zhou Qinghao didn’t want to bathe together, and Gu Juntian didn’t push it.

He actually didn’t plan to do anything with Zhou Qinghao at that moment.

They hadn’t known each other long, and feelings could be developed slowly.

He thought he and Zhou Qinghao could first build some affection, and then let things progress naturally…

While bathing, Gu Juntian couldn’t help releasing his own pheromones.

He found his pheromones a bit unpleasant, felt annoyed, and started missing Zhou Qinghao’s scent again.

Thinking that, he quickly finished his bath and came outside: “Qinghao, I want to smell your pheromones again!”

Zhou Qinghao gave Gu Juntian a helpless look, released his pheromones, and walked into the bathroom.

He needed a shower too.

When Zhou Qinghao left, leaving only himself in the room, Gu Juntian took a deep breath, looking excited.

Zhou Qinghao’s pheromones really smelled great!

He felt like right now, he could kill another Zerg queen!

Speaking of which, the Zerg queen was rather pitiful.

Before it died, it kept saying humans were cunning—it thought it had been tricked…

It came to the desolate star to eat Zhou Qinghao, thinking he was the only one who could threaten it, and that alone, he couldn’t harm it.

Thinking of the unlucky Zerg queen, Gu Juntian took another deep breath of the lingering scent.

Although the Zerg queen was unlucky, his own luck was great—rescuing Zhou Qinghao in a heroic act had made Zhou Qinghao treat him much better.

Smelling the minty pheromones, Gu Juntian felt his heartbeat and blood flow speed up. He paced around the room, then stopped in front of a mirror.

In the mirror, he was in military uniform, looking very handsome.

Gu Juntian couldn’t help saying, “I’m so handsome! No wonder Zhou Qinghao likes me!”

Thinking that, he smiled at himself in the mirror.

“I didn’t expect Lieutenant General Gu would do the same thing I do, hahaha!”

“So confident! But I like it!”

“Lieutenant General Gu keeps breathing in to smell Lieutenant General Zhou’s pheromones—unbelievable… Don’t Alphas normally just want to fight when they smell another Alpha’s pheromones?”

“Lieutenant General Gu must be different…”

“He definitely is. Yesterday, after my friend and I watched the live stream, we released a little pheromone at each other and ended up fighting.”

…

Of course, most people weren’t focused on that, but on: “Once Lieutenant General Gu finds out about this live stream, it’s over… I want to keep watching, but I also want to see the look on his face when he finds out.”

“Me too! Can’t wait to see Lieutenant General Gu socially implode!”

“I’m frantically backing up and saving this stream so I can watch it over and over.”

…

Online, people were speaking freely, but the generals and soldiers around the ship carrying Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao stayed silent.

Still, their thoughts were the same as those of the online crowd.

Gu Juntian had no idea that a large group of people were waiting to see him socially humiliated.

When Zhou Qinghao finished bathing and got dressed, Gu Juntian said, “Qinghao, let’s go eat, then take a look outside. I haven’t checked out this desolate star since killing the Zerg queen yesterday.”

“Alright,” Zhou Qinghao agreed, then asked, “Do you want to eat with the other generals?”

“What for? Let’s eat alone and enjoy our time together!” Gu Juntian replied.

They chatted as they headed to the ship’s kitchen, asking the robots to prepare food.

While eating, Gu Juntian frowned. “Where’s my adjutant? Why hasn’t he shown up? This ship feels strangely quiet today.”

Gu Juntian’s adjutant, watching the live stream: “…” He wanted to show up, but didn’t dare.

Besides, if he met Gu Juntian, he couldn’t exactly avoid telling him about the live stream, so… better to hide!

Zhou Qinghao was puzzled too. “Let’s check after we eat.”

“Alright… but no rush. Qinghao, kiss me again? Yesterday when you kissed me, I was too weak and barely felt it…” Gu Juntian asked.

Zhou Qinghao looked at him, then kissed him directly.

He wanted to kiss Gu Juntian too, and didn’t want to wait until after dinner.

They spent an hour eating, being affectionate throughout.

Afterward, they walked outside together.

Last night, their ship had already landed on the ground.

Another ship was parked right next to them, and not far away lay the Zerg queen’s corpse.

Having just been affectionate, Gu Juntian didn’t want to be apart from Zhou Qinghao—he put an arm around his shoulder, leaning against him. “Qinghao, I wonder if Zerg queen meat is edible.”

Viewers: “The classic moment is coming!”

“So is Zerg queen meat edible?”

“No one knows—there’s only ever been the one Zerg queen.”

“They’re opening the door! They’re opening the door!”

…

Zhou Qinghao said, “High-level Zerg are poisonous. Their corpses are valuable for research, and some parts can be used for mechs and warships, but not for eating. As for the Zerg queen, I’m not sure.”

As soon as Zhou Qinghao finished speaking, the ship’s door in front of them opened automatically.

This desolate star also orbited a sun, and right now, their location was in daylight.

Without any lighting, they could clearly see everything around them.

Surrounding their ship, densely packed, were all kinds of ships.

Their hearts skipped a beat—if these ships hadn’t belonged to the First Legion, they would have immediately prepared for battle.

What was going on?

Why were there so many ships outside?

Gu Juntian looked left and right, seeing all these ships parked quietly, with not a single person outside.

He turned on his communicator and called his adjutant. “Adjutant Wang, what’s going on outside? Why didn’t you tell me the First Legion had arrived?”

Adjutant Wang hadn’t expected that even after hiding, Gu Juntian would still find him.

But there was no helping it—everyone else was hiding too.

Adjutant Wang said, “Lieutenant General, they came last night. As for the details… you can check online.”

“Online?” Gu Juntian was momentarily confused.

Adjutant Wang said, “We’re connected to the network now. I’ll send you the password.”

After saying that, he hung up and sent over the password.

Gu Juntian had a vague sense of dread. He and Zhou Qinghao connected to the network, only to be bombarded with all kinds of information.

Gu Juntian had many private messages—the newest ones were all congratulating them on a long and happy life together, while the older ones contained questions and insults.

On Zhou Qinghao’s side, the newest messages were also congratulations, while the older ones were warnings not to fall for Gu Juntian’s tricks.

But the real issue was the trending topics on the star network.

“Lieutenant General Gu, look at the royal family we overthrew for you!”

“Come watch Lieutenant General Gu socially implode!”

“Just how good does Lieutenant General Zhou’s pheromone smell?”

“Public vote to abolish the royal family!”

“The Third Legion has located the Second Prince!”

…

The more Gu Juntian scrolled, the heavier his unease became.

Then the streaming platform pushed him a live broadcast with extremely high viewership. He clicked in and saw himself and Zhou Qinghao standing at the ship’s doorway.

This stream could be rewound, and when he scrolled back, he saw footage of himself and Zhou Qinghao kissing in the dining hall.

In an instant, Gu Juntian understood the situation and let out an enraged roar from deep in his heart: “Second Brother, I’m at odds with you for life!”

His moments of acting spoiled and clingy in front of Zhou Qinghao had been broadcast to the whole galaxy!

The Second Prince was unforgivable!

At that moment, Zhou Qinghao also realized what was happening online, feeling a little guilty.

The cameras on the mech hadn’t been installed by Gu Juntian, but by the Second Prince—and they could live stream.

He’d forgotten about it and never warned Gu Juntian…
