A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Gao Tian cannot leave the nutrient solution now. If he wants to talk to Lan, he can only lower the water level of the nutrient solution a little to expose his face.

Gao Tian felt as if his body had become a black hole, like an hourglass that had leaked out to who knows where, sucking his consciousness downwards.

He was in a daze when he saw a beautiful little butterfly appear on the transparent dome of the medical pod!

Wow, it's no exaggeration to say that for a moment he felt like the sky had brightened.

Beautiful, cute, baby.

The little butterfly's tears fell again, landing on the hatch and turning into patches.

Baby is crying again.

Gao Tian looked at him, pointed to his mouth through the transparent hatch, indicating that he had something to say.

Lan wiped away her tears and randomly pressed a few buttons on the control panel outside the bulkhead.

The nutrient solution made a soft gurgling sound, and the water level slowly dropped, gradually revealing Gao Tian's face, neck, and shoulders.

The hatch opened, and Little Butterfly lay beside the medical pod, watching him.

He can't live without the nutrient solution now; that's his limit.

Gao Tian tried to force a smile, but his facial muscles were too stiff, forming only a half-smile.

His vision blurred, and he knew he wouldn't last much longer. Dazed, he asked Lan, "Do I look terrible right now?"

Lan lay down beside the medical pod, touched his forehead, and shook her head.

No, Gao Tian has always been handsome.

Gao Tian twitched his fingers, gently pulled his hand, and kissed it.

It was just a very slight touch, like a snowflake falling.

He couldn't take it anymore, he was so dizzy. The downward suction was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt like he was about to lose all his fluids. He quickly made his last words.

He knew that if he said that, Baby Bug might beat him up again, but he really had no choice. He couldn't just close his eyes and leave without saying anything, could he?

Gao Tian held his baby worm's hand with the strength he was using, but Lan felt it was so light that it broke the worm's heart.

"I thought for a long time about what I would say... but when the day actually came, I realized I didn't have anything to say..." Gao Tian said.

"Idiot Crown Princess."

Gao Tian seemed about to laugh again; his Adam's apple bobbed laboriously, and his eyes glazed over. "Baby, don't come with me... But can you please not look for anyone else? I feel like I can't accept it."

Looking into his unfocused eyes, Lan's tears fell again. She touched his forehead, lowered her head, and whispered, "Are you an idiot? Don't I get heartbroken?"

Gao Tian's eyelids, which were slowly closing, suddenly trembled a few times and were forced open a crack. His gaze, which had been unfocused, suddenly became clear again, as if in a final burst of light.

He fell into a coma and then abruptly woke up.

"I think I just heard something incredible."

Lan whispered in his ear, "I'm telling you, you're mistaken. You think removing the mark will prevent me from dying with you? You're dreaming. I'm determined to go with you."

Gao Tian's lips twitched upwards with difficulty, as if he wanted to put on another smile.

He seemed to want to say something, but that sliver of clarity, like a candle flickering in the wind, was quickly swallowed up by a deeper sense of disorientation.

His eyes became vacant again, staring into the void, forgetting what he had just wanted to say.

Another idea took hold.

In a moment of mental confusion, he changed his story, saying, "I was just lying to you... If a female insect can't survive without her male, then you can find someone else you like and forget about me."

He murmured, his voice so soft it almost disappeared into the air.

Blue seemed to have been repeatedly crushed by this sentence.

Even a fool could tell which of his words were sincere, but his last thought on his deathbed was simply that he wanted him to live.

Lan touched his forehead again and kissed him: "Would I possibly like someone else?"

"No?"

No, it won't.

Gao Tian seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to. He softly uttered an "Oh," as if he had received an answer, or as if he had given up thinking.

Gao Tian tried hard to see him clearly, but his eyes couldn't focus. He could only feel water droplets falling on his face. "It's okay... baby... don't cry, don't cry."

He felt so sorry for him and wanted to get up and hug him, but he couldn't get up at all. He struggled in the nutrient solution, but could only stiffly raise his shoulders a few times.

Lan bent down, avoiding the pipes, and pressed her lips to Gao Tian's to calm him down.

It was a kiss filled with the salty taste of tears.

His tears rolled down in large drops, landing on Gao Tian's face and mingling with his blood.

His hand touched Gao Tian's hand, and their fingers intertwined.

Gao Tian calmed down.

He had used too much force, and blood was frothing at the mouth, but he still tried his best to speak clearly, word by word: "Please hold on, don't be heartbroken, okay, baby?... I said I would come back to you even if I became a ghost. I will... I definitely will..."

Lan didn't say anything, but leaned over and kissed him again, her tears falling onto his face.

Gao Tian tried his best to keep himself from losing consciousness.

In this world, there is never enough love or time for a lover.

He can only keep his baby alive with these empty promises. The Crown Prince won't lose much; he'll only lose his husband. Perhaps.

He burned as brightly as the sun, but inevitably he began to wane.

This was probably their final fate. Little Butterfly lay beside the medical pod, watching Gao Tian slowly close his eyes.

The data curve on the vital signs monitor next to it kept decreasing downwards.

He had thought everything through. He passed the throne to Bishen, and then he took Gao Tian and flew into the sea of ​​stars.

Bishen will take good care of the empire; he has nothing to worry about.

......

They were all prepared to face death calmly when, unexpectedly, the door to the medical room was suddenly kicked open again.

This time it was the medic, whose expression was completely different from before—full of hope. He suddenly burst through the door, shouting, "Your Highness, the human transport ship has arrived and landed on the palace helipad! The Human Research Institute has sent word that they've brought a new type of nutrient solution!"

The news was like a ray of light, piercing through the stagnant air. Lan took a deep breath, feeling herself breathe again.

The humans rushed on their way and finally arrived in time.

They brought the resilient foundation potion that Qinqin's parents had researched and prepared.

Some time ago, Qinqin's parents' research on the Resilience Foundation Potion was rediscovered, and the Human Research Institute has been developing it ever since, finally producing a batch recently.

It just so happened that Gao Tian's body was already exhausted.

Although the Resilient Foundation potion isn't quite the right treatment for overdraft, it's still called Resilient Foundation after all, and it can prolong the life for a while, no matter how close to death the patient is.

Upon receiving news of Gao Tian's imminent danger, humanity immediately rushed towards the central planet of Liernia with this batch of Resilience Foundation Potions, working day and night, racing against time, and finally making it in time at this critical moment.

Several human researchers, looking travel-worn, rushed in, escorting a specially made cryogenic metal box.

There were ten vials of soft green potion in the box.

There was no time for any pathological testing, so the medical officer immediately took the syringe and connected it to the injection port of the medical pod as quickly as possible.

They believed that humans would not harm their crown princess, after all, a living crown princess of the Zerg Empire was far more useful than a dead one.

The medicine was slowly pushed into the circulatory system, where it blended with the original light blue nutrient solution.

The nutrient solution doesn't seem to have changed much.

Then all of them stared intently at the monitoring screen next to the medical pod.

It works, it works, it has to work!

As if sensing their hope, the vital signs curves that had been steadily declining suddenly stopped a dozen seconds after the injection.

It was like a falling bird being suddenly lifted up by an invisible force.

Then, slowly, slowly, I began to look up.

Although it is still hovering on the edge of a dangerous threshold, the downward trend has stopped and it has begun to rise.

It has returned to a relatively safe threshold range.

A bridge on the verge of collapse was fitted with a continuous steel reinforcement at the last moment. It was still teetering on the edge, but it no longer collapsed.

Gao Tian was still unconscious, but the rise and fall of his chest was noticeably stronger.

The cornerstone medicine developed by Qinqin's parents decades ago has temporarily saved Gao Tian's life.
