"Moye, let's go back. Once the wormhole disappears, it won't open again unless the Zerg Emperor opens it himself. Besides, we have no idea of its exact location..."
Moye's deputy saw him standing there like a waiting stone and couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"She'll be back," Moye said, standing motionless in the same spot. An hour had passed since Qiao Ci rushed into the wormhole, and there was no change in the fixed location of the wormhole.
The deputy knew that Qiao Ci was Moye's partner and could only sigh and comfort him, "She'll be safe."
At this moment, anything else he said would be inappropriate. Given Moye's stubborn nature, he would only understand that Qiao Ci wasn't coming back when he figured it out himself.
Everyone believed that Qiao Ci was doomed. The best outcome would be for her to perish with the Zerg, a sacrifice that would be worthy.

At the Zerg stronghold,
Long Mieshi was so terrified to see Qiao Ci chasing after him that he peed his pants. He dared not act arrogant anymore; Qiao Ci was too powerful.
Most of the surrounding Zergs were already on the verge of death, bombed by Qiao Ci, and clearly had no strength to fight.
"Do you really want to wipe us out completely? I wouldn't say anything if you killed the Zergs on the battlefield, but there are so many Zerg babies in the wormhole. Can you bear it?" Long Mieshi suddenly regretted invading Blue Star. Wouldn't it be better to scavenge in space? Why provoke Blue Star people!
Now, the entire Zerg race was about to be exterminated, and he was the sinner of the Zerg.
"Didn't you try to exterminate us first? There's an old saying in Blue Star: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You wanted to destroy us before, and now I'm here to destroy you. Isn't that reasonable? It's perfectly reasonable, there's nothing to hesitate about." Qiao Ci's eyes were slightly cold. The Zerg had killed nearly a hundred million humans.
Yes, the Zerg also had innocent individuals, but were those one hundred million people not innocent? She had no right to forgive the Zerg on behalf of those people!
"We'll escape far away and will never invade Blue Star people again. Please spare us." Many Zergs who could speak human language kowtowed to Qiao Ci repeatedly, begging for mercy.
However, the look in their eyes towards Qiao Ci was a mixture of fear and hatred.
Continuous explosions echoed, and the wormhole soon disappeared into the universe...
"Moye, it's been two hours. Uh, why don't you replenish some energy first?" The deputy brought some food, all of which Moye liked.
Moye did not resist. He sat on the ground without any pretense. In front of him were mountains of Zerg corpses, emitting a foul odor. He ate with an impassive expression, his taste buds dulled, and his gaze occasionally drifted to the place where the wormhole had disappeared...
As the deputy was about to say something else, he saw the person in front of him stop chewing, his eyes instantly reddened, and the corners of his eyes became intensely red, as if he were enduring something with all his might.
Then he threw the chopsticks on the ground, stood up quickly, and rushed towards the pile of Zergs.
The deputy thought Moye had gone mad from the stimulation and quickly chased after him, only to see a woman in combat uniform appearing in the distance.
Qiao Ci!!!
The deputy's eyes almost bulged out!
She, she, she was alive and back?
She had really returned?
He quickly signaled to the people behind him to point the live broadcast camera at Qiao Ci and Moye. Both of them were heroes of humanity, and their embrace would be recorded in history, becoming the most distant embrace.
Life and death.

When Moye ran to Qiao Ci's side and saw the vibrant Qiao Ci, he dared not take another step forward, fearing it was all an illusion.
"Silly?" Qiao Ci stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to reach out and ruffle his hair.
Feeling Qiao Ci's touch, Moye gripped her shoulders and hugged her tightly.
"You didn't lie to me, you really came back." Moye's seemingly calm voice trembled.
Qiao Ci hugged him back, her eyes filled with a smile. "I promised you, and I never go back on my word."
The live broadcast was ongoing at this moment,
The audience in front of the screen was in an uproar.
"Ahhhhh, Mom, she's really back! General Moye won't be a waiting husband anymore."
"I promised you, and I never go back on my word. Love it, love it."
"Please get married right here!"
...
Qiao Ci held Moye's hand and accepted the reporters' interviews.
Facing billions of Blue Star people, Qiao Ci said with a firm voice, "From now on, there will be no more Zergs threatening Blue Star. The Zerg have been completely annihilated."
Whether at the scene or off-screen, everyone looked at Qiao Ci with disbelief.
The girl's eyes were resolute, her back straight, and her words brought tears to the eyes of billions.
The Zerg were annihilated?
Would they no longer live in fear?
That's great!!!
Countless people prayed in their hearts: Brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts... the Zerg are extinct, you can rest in peace... Humanity no longer has to endure the invasion of the Zerg...

Later, at Qiao Ci and Moye's wedding, it was held with the highest etiquette of Blue Star. Bigwigs from all walks of life came to congratulate them. That day was also known as the Day of Love's Fulfillment, and many couples later married on this day.
Later still, more advanced civilizations invaded Blue Star, but Qiao Ci repelled them with absolute strength. She was like the guardian god of this world, always standing on the most dangerous front line, fighting for humanity.
Wherever Qiao Ci was, Moye would be there. The two loved each other until they were old and gray. It was just a pity that they didn't have children.

"Welcome back to the system space. Host, Little Spoon is really proud of you. Mission completion degree: SSS. Your points have now reached 1 million, hee hee, congratulations, congratulations! Let's directly aim for ten million. Ten million is not a dream, it's within reach!!!" Little Spoon's familiar voice rang out.
Returning to the space again, Qiao Ci's mood was a little excited.
Soon, she would be able to see her baby.
She directly opened her personal panel and tapped on it repeatedly. When she saw the progress reach 99%, Qiao Ci fell silent...
Seeing the host's tense and unusually serious expression, Little Spoon pursed its lips, feeling that she might be a little depressed, and did not dare to speak proactively.
"Next story," Qiao Ci said, letting out a long sigh.
"Alright, Little Spoon will start the transmission now."

In the azure ocean, all sorts of creatures swam leisurely.
As soon as Qiao Ci opened her eyes, she saw an exceptionally beautiful woman floating before her, with deep longing in her eyes.
Her gaze moved down; the woman's lower half was a fish's body.
This was a mermaid.
Qiao Ci lowered her head and looked at herself. Her seaweed-like dark green hair almost covered her entire body, and faint, sparkling golden scales could be seen.
Then, she saw an incredibly cute and adorable little merman swimming happily around her.
