Chapter 1 No One Expected It

No one expected the Zerg to act like lunatics and suddenly attack.

They appeared on the borders of Qilan Star without warning.

The Mingmei family was having tea and chatting after dinner. Mingmei was sitting there and casually looked out the window. The sky, usually filled with magnificent aurora, suddenly flared with light.

Something exploded in space outside Qilan Star.

Soon, global defense measures were activated in the sky, and Mingmei immediately realized something big was happening!

"Where did those Zerg come from?!"

Hu Mingli, upon learning of this, immediately overturned the table.

The Zerg army bypassed the Sixth Legion's defenses outside the Canglan Star System without a trace. No one knew where they emerged from undetected wormholes, managing to "steal the base"!

When a swarm of Zerg appeared in the skies of Qilan Star without warning and were detected by the planet's air defense system, everyone was dumbfounded.

"How could this happen?"

"Could it be because..." of us?

More than one person had this thought, especially Julian, who had sneaked onto Qilan Star, felt even guiltier.

Julian hesitated until the security alarm announced the evacuation to the underground.

Although his father knew he was coming, he wouldn't have let him come if he knew this would happen!

Moreover, could it be that his exposed whereabouts attracted the Zerg?

But self-doubt didn't lead him to despair. Julian didn't forget to disguise himself while retreating to the underground fortifications. So when Lu Xiaoyao and Mingmei's family met, Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao holding a "strange" man's hand, and her expression was priceless.

Like an old man on the subway watching his phone.jpg

Mingmei didn't know what to say.

Her best friend seemed to be cheating. Should she ask directly or pretend she didn't see anything?

The two sides tacitly maintained a distance of ten meters and looked at each other from afar.

Mingmei: This is all I can do!

Lu Xiaoyao, however, sensed Mingmei's resistance to approach. She looked thoughtfully at the large group around her, and likewise didn't get any closer.

It looked like a big family reunion, so she wouldn't join the fun.

Then, Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao wink at her.

Mingmei...

Was this a tacit admission?

Was Lu Xiaoyao expressing gratitude for her not approaching?!

Only these two sisters, related by different fathers, had their brains working on such a bizarre path. Everyone else's thoughts were much more normal.

For example, the moment Julian saw the two men and one woman behind Mingmei, his pupils couldn't help but tremble.

He naturally recognized Yan Hui. Not only had he seen that man and woman in the game, but their unique aura alone was enough to attract everyone's attention.

However, because Mingmei was standing in front of them, Julian realized something.

They were a family.

If he had only seen Mei Shi or Ming Yi standing next to Mingmei, he might not have noticed that Mingmei resembled them.

He might have even thought they weren't closely related. But with both of them standing next to Mingmei, it was obvious that Mingmei's appearance combined the best features of both.

Mingmei's appearance didn't particularly highlight the features of either parent, but rather harmoniously blended their genes.

"Do you know that child?"

Mei Shi was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes. She immediately noticed Julian's slightest change.

Not to mention that his gaze kept wandering around them.

"Lu Xiaoyao is my friend... I don't know the other one."

Mingmei saw Mei Shi looking towards Lu Xiaoyao and thought she was asking about Lu Xiaoyao.

"That child is in disguise."

Ming Yi saw through Julian's disguise at a glance.

Mingmei looked blank, while Mu Chen next to her looked thoughtfully in Julian's direction.

In an instant, Mu Chen shifted his gaze. He didn't say anything.

Julian being here was understandable, but his identity couldn't be ignored.

The only child of the Federation President.

Mu Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoyao beside Julian.

The Lu family was a good example. Because of the death of Lu Xiaoyao's father, Marshal Lu didn't immediately retire, but everyone who knew anything understood the impact of Lu Xiaoyao's father's death on Marshal Lu.

Mu Chen couldn't help but darkly wonder if the Zerg's actions were related to Julian.

However, Mu Chen looked up at the live broadcast screen above his head and felt that if the Zerg were only after Julian, such a large-scale mobilization seemed excessive.

Qilan Star was now completely surrounded.

Outside were all Zerg.

The pressure was so intense that even Mu Chen, wearing his mecha, felt his breathing was heavy.

"Are we...are we going to die?"

A passerby next to them suddenly burst into tears. Mingmei's attention had been on Lu Xiaoyao and the others, but she was drawn away by the crying.

She turned her head and saw a mother and daughter standing not far away.

The mother had a serious expression and held her child in her arms. The girl seemed to have never seen anything like this before. Tears streamed down her face as she watched the Zerg outside Qilan Star frantically attacking the planet's defensive shield.

"Mom, does this mean we can't go anywhere and can only wait to die?"

"Don't be afraid, we won't, we won't die. The outside armies will defeat those Zerg."

The woman tightly controlled the expression on her face. The fear flashing in her eyes was concealed for the sake of her daughter. She suppressed her panic and pretended to be calm, saying, "The Sixth Legion will definitely come to save us!"

As if answering her call, the communicators of Mingmei, Mu Chen, and Lu Xiaoyao and the others not far away all flashed with signal lights at the same time. They all received a message.

The message was self-evident.

[Full mobilization!]

Lu Xiaoyao looked down at the call to arms and then looked up, meeting Mingmei's gaze.

"Julian."

"What?"

Julian finally chose to inform his father that they had suddenly been attacked by a large number of Zerg, asking about the situation on the Federation side. Suddenly, he heard Lu Xiaoyao call him. He turned his head and saw Lu Xiaoyao looking at him with a serious expression.

"I have to go on a mission."

Finally, Lu Xiaoyao pulled Julian in front of Mingmei. Although she didn't speak, she stared straight at Mingmei, then turned to look at Yan Hui. Before she could say anything, Yan Hui waved at Julian and said, "Hey, you, just follow me later, or if something happens, I won't be able to explain it."

Mei Shi and Ming Yi were surprised for a moment. The two of them stared at Julian, curious about the identity of the young man who could make Yan Hui take responsibility for him.

How could he not take responsibility?

Ming Yi and Mei Shi had both guessed who this person was, how could he not?

He knew about Lu Xiaoyao and Julian's relationship.

Thinking of this, Yan Hui couldn't help but sigh at how fearless young people were in love!

Julian pursed his lips, not immediately moving. He turned to look at Lu Xiaoyao.

He understood that Lu Xiaoyao's current identity was no longer just a simple military academy student. Since she was serving in the Sixth Legion, she was now a soldier of the Sixth Legion.

With such a major event, it would take time for Hu Mingli and his army to be mobilized. The army stationed here on Qilan Star was clearly insufficient.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have directly mobilized them, who were on vacation.

All he could do was watch them leave...
