Chapter 135 Isn't That Underestimating Us?

When Mingmei heard the Zerg Queen Mother's declaration through the live broadcast, her heart was filled with anger.

Did she really look down on all of them that much?

[What the heck?! Are these Zergs sick in the head?!]

[What exactly is making them act like this?]

[I have ten thousand curse words in my heart right now. If I wasn't afraid of being banned, I'd be cursing them out right now!]

[+1, what's going on? What is it? If you can take it out, then take it out first. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!]

Some people on the screen were cursing the Zerg, while others felt that Hua Lan Star didn't know how to adapt, which was why they had reached this point. Some even complained that the people of Hua Lan Star were dragging their empire down.

Such people were extremely provocative, and some were actually successfully provoked, questioning why their empire should pay for the mistakes made by the people of Hua Lan Star.

"How could your Zerg treasure be with us? If you're looking for it, you should be looking for the Emperor of the Empire, shouldn't you?"

After the other party openly threatened them, Mei Qiu simply revealed her cards and directly pointed out that the item was with the Empire.

"I'm very curious, who told you that your treasure would be in the hands of Hua Lan Star? Our strength is far inferior to that of the Empire and the Federation!"

[??? What does this have to do with our Federation?]

[Federation: Thank you, please don't @ me!]

[What the hell? Did the Empire do this?]

[Whoa! Is there any evidence? Just saying it?]

[Heh, the Zerg are just saying that the item is on Hua Lan Star, and some of you are already convinced?]

[What exactly is going on?]

The entire interstellar community had hundreds of billions of people, and even more people were online today paying attention to these events. Less than a minute after Mei Qiu spoke, the various official websites of the Empire were almost overwhelmed by a group of curious netizens!

Seeing this, Mingmei, in a moment of distraction, also glanced at the Empire's official Star Blog. Sure enough, they were all playing dead.

So far, no one had said anything.

"The Zerg want that Zerg Queen Mother crystal core, right?"

She already knew more or less about what the Zerg had been trying to get all along, but—"What are we going to do?"

That thing was gone!

Mingmei looked up at the Zerg army in the sky again, feeling troubled, and patted her forehead.

It wasn't impossible for them to resist, but there were not only soldiers here, but also ordinary people.

They didn't have the ability to protect themselves. Once their forces launched a counterattack, the ensuing melee was predictable, especially since this counterattack was bound to take place on the ground of Qi Lan Star.

All the losses and harms would be immeasurable.

"We still can't sit still and wait for death."

Mingmei sighed, looking at the Zergs in the sky, her eyes becoming increasingly firm.

"Guigui, have you contacted my uncles?"

Ever since her parents left, Mingmei had noticed that Yan Hui had also disappeared.

So far, Mei Qiu hadn't seen her parents either.

Although the main brain had control over most of the Internet, it hadn't appeared this time.

Even public opinion wasn't being controlled. There were still many voices on the Star Network speaking up for the Empire.

Some were even shifting the blame, mentioning that it was because of her brother. Even though it was said that the Imperial Family was actually involved, there were still many people defending them.

The double standard was too obvious.

Mingmei didn't understand what her godfather and uncles were doing.

Thinking of Ruan Xun, Mingmei seemed to remember that she hadn't received any new news from Ruan Xun for a long time.

[No, Host. Mr. Ruan Xun's communicator seems to have its signal blocked. Mr. Yan Hui's signal also seems to be covered, making it impossible to track his whereabouts, and we can't contact him either.]

After Guigui finished speaking, Mingmei's heart sank. Her two uncles were probably off doing something important, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared at this time.

As for what important thing, they didn't tell anyone.

Their current situation made Mingmei, who was trapped on Qi Lan Star, feel anxious.

She felt that she should do something, but she didn't know what to do.

"Just listen to the command?"

Mingmei stared at the command channel, which still hadn't received any instructions other than patrolling. She muttered to herself and opened the address book on her optical brain, flipping through it.

Mingmei looked at the avatars of some people who used to be on her list, which were now completely grayed out because of the war.

Under the grayed-out little avatars were the tiny words—"Sacrificed."

The three words were so small, but they were particularly glaring.

...

"We don't know when we'll fight, but this battle is definitely going to happen! You young people need to calm down a bit, don't be anxious."

After finishing a patrol and switching shifts with familiar seniors, Mingmei chatted with a few who took the initiative to talk to her.

During this conversation, everyone agreed that the fight would happen sooner or later.

"Hey, you have the nerve to tell people to calm down? Let the young one take a good look at who was just looking eager to rush up and fight? If the commander hadn't glanced at you, who knows what you would have done!"

Another senior unceremoniously exposed the other's weakness in front of Mingmei.

Earlier, when Mingmei was patrolling outside, these veterans were still in the base doing their respective jobs.

Different jobs received different information. When they met, everyone took the opportunity to exchange information they had obtained.

"I heard from the commander-in-chief that the Major General is going to take action personally this time."

"The Major General is coming to lead the troops himself?"

Hearing that Hu Mingli was also coming, Mingmei was slightly surprised. "Is he really coming?"

"Of course! If the Major General doesn't come, half of Azure Blue Star's economy will be destroyed if Qi Lan Star is destroyed."

"Yeah, whether it's the economy or anything else, it will be severely damaged."

Listening to the seniors emphasizing the importance of Qi Lan Star again, Mingmei frowned slightly and asked them, "If the Major General comes, will he be confident in protecting Qi Lan Star?"

Mingmei wasn't sure. After all, the Zerg Queen Mother's threat in the live broadcast was already very clear.

Qi Lan Star was just the beginning. If Hu Mingli could easily save it, would the other party still say these things to her brother?

"Of course he can. It's the Major General taking action! He's never lost!" When the veterans mentioned Hu Mingli, they were really full of confidence. Mingmei understood that their confidence wasn't unfounded; it was Hu Mingli's strength that gave them the confidence.

Seeing the worried and doubtful look on Mingmei's face, one of the veterans asked Mingmei, "Girl, do you know the strength of our Major General?"

Mingmei shook her head.

"That Stream萤 (Liuying), none of us have seen it, but our Major General has encountered it before and repelled it!"

Mingmei watched as several other people enthusiastically joined in when they heard about this, clearly knowing about it.

"When our Major General went out on a mission alone, concealing his whereabouts, alas, he happened to encounter a planet being destroyed by Stream萤 (Liuying). Good heavens! Our Major General immediately took out his mecha and fought with that Stream萤 (Liuying) in a very fierce battle!"

Mingmei's mouth twitched slightly as she watched the seniors beginning to exaggerate their descriptions.

Aside from the names and the outcome of the event, she could believe, but she would just listen to the rest.

"But Doron and Rui An were brought back by our Major General during that incident, right?"

Suddenly, hearing the seniors talk about the past, Mingmei heard two more key figures.

Hu Mingli's adjutant and secretary.

"That's right, Doron and Rui An's hometown was attacked by Stream萤 (Liuying), wasn't it? They seemed to be only in high school at the time, but then Stream萤 (Liuying) suddenly came and nothing was left... Alas."

The crowd was both angry and furious at the things the Zerg did every time, and they expressed infinite regret for the people who were hurt by the Zerg.

"Didn't their siblings get brought back by the Major General later?"

"Then do you think Doron and Rui An will come if the Major General brings reinforcements this time?"

"Are you stupid? Why wouldn't they come? Even if there wasn't Stream萤 (Liuying), the Major General has come, they will definitely be by the Major General's side! Besides, there's Stream萤 (Liuying) here, although we don't know if this Stream萤 (Liuying) is the same one they encountered before, but if we defeat this one, it can be considered revenge, right?"
