Chapter 121 Unexpected Visitor

After confirming that the Zerg species existing as Xingyan Worms was one they had never seen before, Ruan Xun and Yan Hui left the deepest part of the research institute. As they emerged, Ruan Xun's eyes suddenly narrowed.

[You have a visitor.]

Ruan Xun's optical brain coldly transmitted the information about the research institute's reception room.

This kind of prompt, indicating a visitor, meant that the other party was an important figure who had been confirmed harmless and did not want to reveal their whereabouts.

"What's wrong?" Yan Hui noticed Ruan Xun's paused steps. Ruan Xun turned to look at Yan Hui and said, "Someone's come to the reception room and specifically asked for me."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Yan Hui frowned slightly. Ruan Xun had been at the research institute for less than fifteen years.

His reputation was also not particularly well-known, due to the main brain's deliberate understatement, except for those who had collaborated with him on research.

And Yan Hui knew most of those who had research collaborations with Ruan Xun.

"Let's go together. You're free lately anyway. Meimei and the others won't be going to the Sixth Army for a while, and you don't need to follow them so closely."

Ruan Xun mentioned Mingmei, and Yan Hui slowly came back to his senses.

"Ah, she's gone so soon?"

"The Sixth Army said there's some kind of new recruit summer camp. Are you even paying attention as her uncle?"

Ruan Xun remembered chatting with Mingmei about this a few days ago. Mingmei complained at the time, "She said the Sixth Army probably just wants them to do free labor."

"Yeah, with Hu Mingli's personality, definitely." Yan Hui also said, a curve tugging at the corner of his mouth. "But the Sixth Army is actually pretty fun. She'll learn a lot there and grow even more."

Of course, Yan Hui remembered Hu Mingli, the zealous and righteous young man from his youth, who had now become a maverick and unorthodox Great Devil King in the eyes of some old imperial relics…

Well, sure enough, young people would grow after being beaten up by society.

Yan Hui's eyes slowly looked upwards, as if thinking of the time when he and Mei Qiu tied up the young man. He couldn't help but laugh. Ruan Xun glanced away without saying anything.

He knew more or less what this man, who was both his teacher and his brother, was thinking about at this moment.

Moreover, he had also seen how terrible this man's personality was when he was young. Mei Qiu's personality was probably raised like that.

However, when Yan Hui saw the person in the reception room, the smile on his face instantly disappeared…

In the game.

"Whoa, this race even exists?"

Mingmei and the others, along with Lu Xiaoyao and Duowaer, picked up some scattered players along the way, and used what they had learned in class about Zerg combat methods and divisions of labor to quickly find their roles.

Along the way, they had been chased by starships and mecha. However, because of Duowaer's extensive knowledge of the "enemy," they even eliminated two starships.

And there were many others who thought the same way as Mingmei and the others.

Like now, Mingmei and the others encountered Hu Yue and Li Yuan, who had also formed a team.

Hu Yue herself chose a Zerg that was rare and had explosive combat power – the Scythe Fly.

A Zerg known for its extreme speed and swift attacks.

Although they were not large, about the same size as humans, they were natural assassins. Especially when it came to assassinating humans.

In the historical records of human and Zerg battles, the Scythe Fly's appearance record was actually very low, but every time the Scythe Fly appeared, the results brought immeasurable losses to humans.

So, when Mingmei and the others encountered Li Yuan, who was playing the role of Thousand-Eyed Worm like Mu Chen, if it weren't for Mu Chen's mental strength, they wouldn't have even noticed the Scythe Fly at the end of Li Yuan's tail, which was almost integrated with the Thousand-Eyed Worm's tail legs.

"There's so little data on Scythe Flies, even in the books."

Mingmei couldn't help but sigh when they discovered Hu Yue.

"Yeah, I didn't know there was so much information about this thing until I played the Scythe Fly."

Hu Yue sighed softly. At the same time, Mingmei also noticed that Hu Yue affectionately rubbed against Li Yuan while speaking. Li Yuan, who was usually a man of few words, was particularly silent today.

Especially since Hu Yue was so affectionate with him in front of everyone. In the past, he would shyly say a few words to Hu Yue.

"Since there is such detailed information in the game, it means that in reality, this Zerg should have been captured and studied."

Mu Chen said, voicing Mingmei's doubts.

Waldo, who was next to him, stared at the Scythe Fly for a long time and suddenly said, "Ah, wasn't there a Scythe Fly appearance during the big battle of the Third Army a while ago?"

"Yes, it did." Suddenly, Li Yuan, who hadn't said much, spoke up, "My brother died in a Scythe Fly assassination."

"What?"

Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao were stunned. The two looked at Hu Yue in unison, staring at her with a look of surprise that said, "You dare to do this?"

What was the meaning of flaunting the face of the enemy who killed your boyfriend's brother in front of him?

"Oh, oh, oh! You, you kid, you're that mecha designer!"

Suddenly, Waldo's excitement startled Mingmei and the others. Obviously, he knew Li Yuan, or at least had heard of him.

"Oh! Then you must be the Major General's sister! I was wondering, it's amazing that someone shares the same surname as the Major General!"

Everyone: …

What was so amazing about having the same surname as Hu Mingli?

It's not like the surname only belonged to his family.

However, Mingmei thought about it and found it strange.

Waldo didn't recognize Hu Yue just now, so why did he recognize Li Yuan first?

"Colonel, have you met me before?"

Even Li Yuan felt that something was wrong and asked why the other party was so excited to see him.

"Me? I was the one who escorted that Scythe Fly with our Major General!"

Waldo said excitedly, talking about what happened last month.

It seemed that a lot had happened in the month that Mingmei and the others were lying in the game pods.

For example, because of his brother's death, Li Yuan, who was unable to return home and felt depressed, finally secretly ran back home despite his family's objections and then asked for leave.

After that, he came back, and his brother followed him, which also involved the issue of choosing to serve in the military.

Finally, they were curious about how his brother agreed to let him go to the Sixth Army.

"After my brother captured the Zerg that killed our family members, he gave it to the Li family for them to deal with personally, and then transferred it to the research institute. I didn't expect the research institute to put them in the game."

After Hu Yue said this, Mingmei and the others basically understood why Li Yuan's elder brother could let Li Yuan come here.

Capturing the Zerg that killed the Li family members and handing them over to them for disposal, while taking the opportunity to promote the strength of their military, and persuading them with both affection and strength, finally convinced the Li family to let Li Yuan come to the Sixth Army.

In fact, Waldo had a lot more to say.

Their Major General said that this Scythe Fly was a "betrothal gift". Trading a Scythe Fly for a person with a promising future in mecha design was worth it!
