However, Mingmei didn't agree with being on the same level as the other Zerg. After all, those Zerg knew how to fight hard, so how could she just sit here and surrender?

Thinking of this, Mingmei once again felt the Zerg core in her mecha surge.

"Tsk! Every single day!"

Mingmei cursed softly, and then suppressed the surging energy of the Zerg core. In a flash, Mingmei looked at the Zerg in the distance through the mecha's field of vision, muttering, "Could the explosion of this Zerg queen crystal core blow up all the Zerg…"

However, given their current distance, Mingmei felt that if she wanted to use the hands of the Queen Zerg to detonate other Zerg queen crystal cores, she would need to calculate it carefully...

Border between the Empire and the Federation.

"Thank you."

Chen An didn't expect that the Federation would send troops to detour from the outer star sea to help Hu Mingli and his people deal with the Zerg in the Canglan Star Region. After they returned, he didn't expect Hu Mingli to personally escort them.

"You're welcome."

Hu Mingli probably didn't know what Chen An was thinking. They had already arrived at the place he had agreed upon with Mei Qiu, and he only needed to arrange the manpower later.

"If you're not happy in the Empire, the Federation welcomes you."

Chen An boldly extended an olive branch in front of everyone. Julian didn't expect it, and he even felt that Chen An was digging a hole for Hu Mingli.

They had just experienced such a battle together, and it felt a little bad to dig a hole for the other party at this time.

Hu Mingli smiled without saying anything. It wasn't until the Federation's army left that Hu Mingli curled his lips and said, "If home isn't comfortable, why would you abandon it and run away?"

"Then—"

The person next to him heard Hu Mingli's words and looked at him curiously.

"Naturally, we have to throw out the unharmonious things at home~" Hu Mingli smiled, revealing his white teeth, his eyes full of malice.

Once this matter is over, he will definitely return to the central star to settle the score!

"Huh~ Why do I feel like this starship isn't going back the way we came?"

Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui, who had sneaked onto the starship, were hiding in a small cabin and felt that something was slightly wrong.

Lu Gui glared at Lu Xiaoyao. If it hadn't been for Lu Xiaoyao saying she wanted to personally confirm Julian's safe return, he would not have come, just to prevent Lu Xiaoyao from having another accident.

Moreover, his physical problems seemed to have been exposed on the Star Network…

Thinking of this, Lu Gui didn't know what he was feeling.

Was it a sigh of relief, finally feeling liberated, or… was he a little unwilling?

Looking at the message his grandfather sent him not long ago, Lu Gui felt a sourness in his heart. He had to admit that one of the reasons he chose the non-human male body provided by the research institute was to retaliate against his mother, who had abandoned him and Lu Xiaoyao for their father.

"The Lieutenant General went to Qilan Star from the base, and then sent Julian away from Qilan Star. Now he's probably going back to the base."

Lu Gui didn't take Lu Xiaoyao's doubts to heart. At most, when they returned to the base, they would be discovered and criticized.

"But this isn't the way back to the base…"

"What do you know, you're a terrible judge of direction?"

"I may be a terrible judge of direction, but I'm not stupid. Look at the star chart navigation!"

Lu Xiaoyao's temper flared up after being rebuffed twice by Lu Gui. She pointed to the three-dimensional star chart and said, "Look for yourself."

At this look, Lu Gui was also dumbfounded: "Isn't this the border between the human race, the beast race, and the Zerg? It seems to be the position guarded by the Fifth Army. What is the Lieutenant General going to do?"

"How would I know?"

Hearing Lu Gui's words, Lu Xiaoyao was also dumbfounded, "Could it be that the Lieutenant General wants to directly kill his way back to the central star to settle accounts with His Majesty?"

"The direction of the central star is over there…"

Sure enough, people can't be praised, especially someone like Lu Xiaoyao.

Lu Gui was still feeling relieved a second ago that Lu Xiaoyao at least had the self-awareness to learn to look at the star chart.

But, the next second, hearing what she said, it was simply exposing that she was not only a terrible judge of direction, but also geographically illiterate.

"You're a military academy student, shouldn't you understand the direction of the Empire's territory and what's nearby?"

What was around Hu Mingli's route, and based on his route, could it be predicted where his destination was going to be? Was that really so difficult?

Lu Gui asked Lu Xiaoyao this question.

"Did you think that the Lieutenant General was taking so many people on a starship to directly rush to the Fifth Army and fight them?"

"I just don't know. We usually don't take this route."

Lu Xiaoyao was also aggrieved, she had never experienced it before.

"That's right, we usually don't take this route, so we find it very strange. Our relationship with the Fifth Army probably isn't to fight them, right?

Moreover, this route secretly bypasses the Fourth Army. It looks like it's behind the back of the central star. What is it that needs to avoid the eyes and ears of the central star?"

Lu Gui patiently guided, and Lu Xiaoyao quickly followed up with a sentence: "Um… Could it be that we're going to sneak attack the Zerg?"

"That's a very real possibility." Lu Gui stroked his chin. That was why Hu Mingli had to personally send Julian off this time.

Even if Julian's identity wasn't simple, after the Federation sent a large number of troops to help them, Julian and his people could have left with the Federation's main force.

Even if Hu Mingli was worried, he could have sent a group of troops to follow. There were still many places in the Canglan Star Region that needed him to preside over the overall situation. It was very intriguing that he was leaving at this time to send Julian.

It seemed that they had really caught up with something big!

Especially this big event, which Hu Mingli had to participate in personally.

"Ah, no way?" Hearing his brother's guess, Lu Xiaoyao was also surprised.

They had just escaped from death.

"This, isn't this us choosing hell when there's a road to heaven?"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words, Lu Gui's face darkened. Sometimes, his unlucky sister really didn't speak nicely.

"Are you saying that we're looking for death?"

"I, I didn't mean that." Lu Xiaoyao, who immediately felt that she had cursed herself, immediately wilted, "I, I just wanted to send Julian off~ Who knew I would get caught up in this."

"Yes, I knew you were weird. Things happen wherever you go. Otherwise, do you think I would have come with you to send Julian off?"

Who would want to send off a wild boar who had stolen his cabbage?

Really, it was already good enough that he hadn't beaten him to death!

Lu Gui thought resentfully.

"Then, then I'm dragging you down."

Lu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Gui with a pitiful expression, and Lu Gui also sighed heavily: "Neither of us is dragging the other down. At least we're witnessing history, aren't we? I don't need to say more about how wonderful it is to follow the Lieutenant General on a mission."

Following Lu Gui's words, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes gradually lit up.

"Think about it, Mingmei and Mu Chen have also gone on missions with Lieutenant General Hu before. Even if Mingmei and the others aren't good with words and say things plainly, didn't you also find it very enjoyable?

This time, you're participating in it yourself."

Sure enough, one sentence from him instantly ignited the passion in Lu Xiaoyao's heart.

"That's right, I'm witnessing history! Oh my god!"

A second ago, she still felt like she was looking for death, but now Lu Xiaoyao suddenly felt like she could do it again.
