“Is Auntie asking me what’s been happening in the Federation lately?”

Having just seen off his two grand-uncles, Ming Song didn’t expect Ming Mei to contact him.

“Yes, anything related to your grand-uncles is fine too.”

Ming Song: “……”

Well, isn’t this just inquiring about his grand-uncles’ affairs?

On her way back to the dormitory after having morning tea with Lu Xiaoyao, Ming Mei recalled Lu Xiaoyao mentioning that Mu Chen had encountered some bad things recently, which made him wake up in time to confess to Lu Xiaoyao.

Although Ming Mei didn't think things could be so coincidental, once she suspected something, she wanted to verify it.

Ming Song smiled helplessly and asked Ming Mei, “Auntie, are you so sure I would know about these things?”

“Based on the fact that my uncles mentioned it to me while eating spicy hot pot in front of you, I think you know.”

“They were clearly talking behind my back. I was making the spicy hot pot at the time.”

“Close enough. I don’t believe you couldn’t hear them.”

Ming Song: “……”

Are all the relatives in his family bandits or something?

So direct?!

His grand-uncles wanted spicy hot pot and rushed to his residence in the middle of the night for it.

His aunt wanted information and asked him directly, opening with "I don't believe you couldn't hear..."

What could he say to that?!

Say he didn’t know?

“Something did happen in the Federation recently, but because we received wind of it in advance, things didn't escalate too much in the end.”

“So, you’re saying they knew the zerg’s plan in advance and deliberately used a counter-plot to set a trap?”

Ming Song: “……”

Is his aunt too perceptive?

Or too young?

“That’s the gist of it. It seems quite a few Federation senators and their children were involved in the plan, and the military also sent a special elite squad. My grand-uncles came to participate in the aftermath of the capture.”

The so-called aftermath of the capture was that his uncles dissected them directly ＿(：3」∠)_

“The Gustav family was involved?” Ming Mei almost asked if the Federation President knew about this.

But he probably wouldn’t be kept in the dark about it.

Actually, she just wanted to gossip about whether Julian was there too.

“Yes, there were rumors earlier that the old gentleman whose position was at odds with the President wanted to repair relations with the President, so he invited the President’s son to his granddaughter’s birthday banquet this year.”

“Oh, are you talking about Merita’s birthday party?”

Ming Mei had heard Wang Wenfei mention it before. She and Lu Xiaoyao even helped Wang Wenfei choose a birthday gift to send over. So, Merita set up a trap for her birthday?

Merita had changed a lot after the Eight Schools Exchange, but that was only limited to Merita, and her classmates and teachers knew about it, while the zerg probably didn't.

Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of Merita's birthday banquet to cause trouble, most likely targeting Julian, among others.

However, the zerg’s information was indeed a bit outdated and they didn't know when they had exposed their flaws and were tricked by Merita.

“Auntie, you know everything…”

For a moment, Ming Song felt that being a nephew was too difficult.

Why did his aunt seem to know everything but still came to ask him?

Did she want to see if he was doing a good job in intelligence work in the Federation?

…

The zerg, deep within the zerg-infested territory, on a dark purple planet, a group of Royal Zerg, who looked no different from humans, stood on a high platform.

Below their high platform were a group of humanoid silhouettes radiating a soft light, their features indistinguishable, standing densely packed on the open ground below.

The real bodies of these silhouettes might be larger than the planet they were standing on, and some were hundreds of thousands of miles away from here.

However, in order to participate in this meeting, these zerg generals and zerg mothers had to condense their mental bodies into human-sized forms to appear here.

“The Federation and the Empire have secretly joined forces, and the division within the Federation seems to be easing. Their vigilance against us is increasing.”

The silhouettes radiating around them remained silent.

“For hundreds of years, we have been secretly weakening the strength of the Empire and the Federation. Many of their geniuses have been lost to our ‘Hunting Heaven Plan’ before they have grown up or before they have been able to exert their greatest strength, and the effect has been very obvious.”

When a Royal Zerg with long, light-golden hair said these words on the high platform, a burst of anger arose in her purple eyes, which were almost the same color as the planet beneath her.

“But it cannot be denied that some of those geniuses have still escaped our schemes and grown into major problems for us.”

“Mei Qiu, who used to belong to the Empire and is now on Hua Lan Star; Louis Gustav, the President of the Federation; and Hu Mingli, the Deputy Commander of the Sixth Legion of the Empire. The growth of these geniuses has caused great hidden dangers to our zerg. Not to mention, the next generation of geniuses has already begun to emerge…”

Speaking of this, another short-haired Royal Zerg stepped forward to take over from the previous Royal Zerg: “Julian Gustav of the Federation, his father is the Federation President mentioned above. Although he is one step behind his father in terms of personality and intelligence, he also has undeniable potential.

Lu Gui of the Empire, his father, Lu Yun, died as a member of our ‘Hunting Heaven Plan’. He inherited his father’s powerful mental strength, but his personality inherited the extremism of their mother… Once he grows up, he is likely to be the next Hu Mingli.

Most importantly, Lu Gui, he is involved with the Research Institute and with silicon-based life.”

When mentioning the silicon-based life led by the Main Brain, a wave of unspeakable anger arose in the hearts of the zerg.

Humans, this weak but unexpectedly lucky race, actually gained the favor of silicon-based life, which made them very jealous!

“In addition, Mei Qiu’s younger sister, Ming Mei, should also be paid attention to.

Currently, her information, whether in the Empire or on Hua Lan Star, has the same level of confidentiality as Mei Qiu, and her specific strength is unknown. Once she grows up, she is afraid that she will be an enemy as troublesome as Mei Qiu.

In addition, there is Mu Chen of the Mu family on Hua Lan Star. His father was also a member of the ‘Hunting Heaven Plan’. His strength is also immeasurable, and he and Ming Mei are a recognized couple…”

Unknowingly, a new generation of human geniuses is slowly rising, and this zerg meeting will revolve around these geniuses who have just begun to shine.

The meeting was coming to an end, and the Royal Zerg on the high platform called on the zerg generals and zerg mothers of the various zerg races to return to their clans to carry out a new round of training and planning.

After they finished speaking, most of the mental bodies of the zerg generals and the zerg mothers of the various races left, leaving only a few non-combat zerg with rare abilities who did not leave.

They looked up at the Royal Zerg on the high platform with fanatic gazes, as if they were ready to sacrifice everything.

The biggest contributor to the Hunting Heaven Plan has always been not those zerg who are the strongest in combat power and appear on the front lines, but rather those behind-the-scenes manipulators.
