Chapter 309

Mingmei fell silent at Mu Chen’s words. The seniors who had cared for her earlier had also told her to go down and rest for a while.

However, if the sound of the explosion from the other side’s background hadn't been so obvious, Mingmei would have really liked to rest first.

“My team has already suffered heavy losses, and now if I’m gone…”

“One less of you won’t make much difference.” Mu Chen interrupted Mingmei, “If losing you would be that serious, they wouldn’t have let you go after or hunt down Liuying in the first place. Listen to me, you should rest now so you can be in better shape for the battles to come.”

“Also, trust your seniors a bit more. If they knew you were dragging a broken-down mecha back because you didn’t trust them, they’d probably be furious.”

“Although your mecha doesn’t seem to be damaged much, these damages are still fatal to you in close combat. You need to repair it as soon as possible before coming back.”

Mu Chen softly persuaded Mingmei, then glanced at the dark mass of Zerg overhead and said, “There are many more battles to come.”

…

Mei Shi and Ming Yi teleported all the way, passing through several unknown wormholes along the way.

It wasn’t until they went through them that they discovered some problems.

“Something’s not right. Why are people guarding these wormholes now? If we weren’t in a hurry to get back, we wouldn’t have chosen these small paths. If we hadn’t teleported, we would have been caught red-handed.”

On an uninhabited planet, Mei Shi couldn’t help but pat her chest as she recalled the thrilling scene just now. She and Ming Yi almost crashed into a starship at the wormhole entrance.

“These wormholes usually seem like no one’s around, but now they’re all guarded.” Ming Yi’s face was also stern. “That means these wormholes were originally registered.”

Then, Mei Shi realized something else: “So, these wormholes usually seem like wild wormholes, with no one caring about them. Why are they suddenly all guarded now? Were they scared by the Zerg?”

“I don’t know if they were scared by the Zerg, but they’re hiding these wormholes and keeping them secret. Suddenly controlling them all now can’t be a good thing.”

Ming Yi thought for a moment and asked, “Have you been in contact with Liu Liu and the others recently? This matter is so big, the Main Brain and Liu Liu must have taken action.”

Ming Yi recalled the previous livestream. It seemed to be the Main Brain’s doing. Mei Qiu probably knew about it, otherwise these things wouldn’t have happened.

“I asked.” Speaking of this, Mei Shi said indignantly, “Aren’t they trying to save face for the Empire? But they don’t appreciate it. Since they dare to do this, then let’s show everyone in the livestream.”

If she and Mu Chen hadn’t gone to the Zerg’s lair, she wouldn’t have known that the Zerg had so many ideas.

Immortality.

It was like cultivators pursuing ascension, but the Zerg were clearly insane.

They wanted to try everything and mess with everything.

Hybrid experiments, body modifications, they had tried all the “fancy tricks”!

What she didn’t expect was that the Imperial royal family would also be involved!

“The Federation has been mocked countless times for exposing the previous government’s actions, but they didn’t say anything to cover it up. The Empire, on the other hand…”

Mei Shi snorted. Ming Yi comforted her, “The Federation brings up the past to make people support the current president even more.”

However, Ming Yi also admired Louis’ actions while in office. Compared to that, the Imperial royal family’s actions were even more unbelievable.

“Don’t try to sugarcoat the royal family. I get a headache just thinking about how we’re related by marriage…” Mei Shi said, feeling a headache coming on.

Chelsea was very nice and treated her son very well. Her son liked her too, so she couldn’t stop them. But when she discovered these things, she still couldn’t accept it.

For example, when her eldest and second daughters-in-law sent her messages of concern, Mei Shi replied to Chelsea two hours late.

“Now that I think about it carefully, I suspect… that incident on Qilan Star was aimed at us, right?”

She and Ming Yi’s whereabouts weren’t exactly hidden. Especially after they came out of the Zerg territory, they basically contacted all their acquaintances. Everyone who should know their whereabouts knew.

Mei Shi really didn’t want to pat herself on the back, but the more she thought about what happened on Qilan Star after she left, the more she felt that something was wrong.

What kind of deep hatred could make the Zerg sacrifice so many lives?

…

【My request is very simple.】

Mei Qiu felt the mental power of the Queen Zerg radiating so far, even though he couldn’t see her, and he couldn’t help but feel flattered.

The Zerg’s all-out attack shocked Mei Qiu for a hundred years.

“Say it.”

Mei Qiu looked at the Zerg outside. In fact, he didn’t have any confidence in his heart. With the power of the entire Zerg race, how could he protect Hua Lan Star?

And the Zerg were really crazy, weren’t they?

How dare they do this?

【I know you have a good relationship with the Main Brain. Exchange the Imperial royal family’s Zerg core for it.】

Mei Qiu: “…”

Why not ask the Main Brain directly? Why ask him?

“Why go around in circles?” Mei Qiu couldn’t help but wonder if his family was being too high-profile. How did even the Zerg know about their relationship with the Main Brain?

【He said he gave it to you.】

Mei Qiu: ???

Was he hearing things?

Mei Qiu subconsciously lowered his head and opened his optical brain. Fortunately, the livestream couldn’t see from that angle, but the livestream was already anxious to the point of going to heaven.

【What are they saying? Who are they talking to? Damn, I’m suffering from only hearing half of it!】

【We’re at war. General Mei Qiu wouldn’t have been so stimulated that he went crazy, right? Is he talking nonsense?】

【Is there a possibility that he’s not talking nonsense and someone is really chatting with General Mei Qiu?】

【The person in front, tell me more. Who is it?】

【Yes, yes, I haven’t read much, take me to listen~】

Ming Qi, who had received Mei Qiu’s message, was also helping to organize the evacuation of the masses on Hua Lan Star. Seeing his brother’s message, he walked to a corner and opened it. Instantly, he looked like he was being laughed at, and he put his hands on his hips and cursed.

“Are we scapegoats?”

Ming Qi knew that the Main Brain had clearly taken the Zerg core to revive the Blue Star ecosystem in another dimension. If it weren’t for the Main Brain, they would have to call him godfather. In this wave, he would have to fight the other party face-to-face.

“You stall for time first. I’ll ask Uncle if there’s a way.”

Ming Qi closed his optical brain, his eyes gloomy. On the one hand, he had already begun to think about what other aspects of the Queen Zerg’s crystal nucleus, besides its huge energy content, made the Zerg launch such an all-out action to get it back after hundreds of years.

“Logically speaking, if it was so important, they should have sought revenge from the Empire when the Imperial royal family took it away. Why did they only come to us after so long?”

The two sons, who had not yet shared the first-hand gossip from their parents, were facing the Queen Zerg’s request with a headache and full of doubts.

Were they really being treated like pushovers?
