Li Shu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Liang. "Do you know the address of the other party's laboratory? Also, can you take us in? If you don't know anything, then we can't help you solve the problem you have now."

"What's the problem?"

As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, a man came to the bedroom door. He stared at Li Shu intently, trying to ease his longing for her during this period.

Li Shu saw this and a faint smile flashed across his brows. He smiled and greeted the other party, "Are you done with your work?"

The person who came was Huo Wei. He took two steps at a time and came to Li Shu's side. He stretched out his hands to embrace Li Shu in his arms. Then he looked up at himself, Chen Liang, and raised his eyebrows slightly, with a little surprise in his eyes. "Are you Chen Liang?"

Chen Liang nodded slightly, "Marshal Huo, I have long heard of your great name."

Huo Wei was calm and said, "You're welcome."

Then he turned his head and looked at Li Shu again, "What were you talking about just now? What problem are you planning to solve?"

Li Shu did not hide it from Huo Wei and told him what Chen Liang had just said in a few words.

Howie frowned, his eyes full of coldness, "Those guys in the royal family are really lawless!"

As the emperor of a country, he actually schemes against the people in his own territory all day long. These guys are really disgusting!

Originally, deep down, he still felt a little uncomfortable about betraying the empire, but after hearing what Li Shu said, the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared.

The man exhaled lightly, suppressing the anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, the insect swarm is coming. After the swarm is over, we will not stay here and will leave directly. So, if you know the location of the laboratory, you'd better tell us as soon as possible. We will rescue those star beasts before the swarm arrives."

"If you don't know now and need to wait until the insect swarm passes before you can find the location of the research institute, then I'm sorry. Although I sympathize with your situation, we won't be able to help you then."

Huo Wei and Li Shu came to the Imperial Star mainly to solve the problem of the insect tide. They changed the trajectory of the insect tide. Once the insect tide ended, the empire would definitely know of their existence. In order to survive, they would never come to the Imperial Star again.

In this case, if we want to save those guys, we can only do so during the period before the insect tide.

Li Shu also nodded. "So, Mr. Chen, I hope you can give us a specific address in the next two days. Otherwise, I'm afraid we really can't fulfill your request."

Although Li Shu felt sorry for the volunteers, he couldn't sacrifice his life for them. He was not that noble.

He just wanted to do his duty to the best of his ability.

Chen Liang also understood the hidden meaning of Li Shu and Huo Wei's words. He let out a breath, and his expression became more determined and serious. He said in a deep voice, "I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will try to find the address tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and said nothing more.

After discussing Chen Liang's situation, Lin Yong wanted to leave with Chen Liang, but before he could get up from the sofa, Li Shu stopped him. "Lin Yong, don't leave yet. Since everyone is here tonight, let's discuss the Zerg route and then make plans based on that. This way, we don't have to pick a time."

Lin Yong nodded upon hearing this, then used his optical computer to send the route map to the three people in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "This red line is the Zerg's original route. It passes through Emperor Star, Tree Star, Mercury... dozens of planets with abundant energy. Generally speaking, if we want to avoid the risk of the Zerg, we lure them to the orbits of those star systems with no life nearby."

"However, the route of this insect swarm is in the central area. If we want to avoid any planet with life, then the route we need is like this."

Lin Yong pointed to a blue line on the side of the mountain road that looked like eighteen bends.

Li Shu frowned upon seeing this, "You mean to control those bugs to take this route?"

Lin Yong nodded, "Yes, if we want to protect all planets with life energy, this is the best solution."

"This is difficult." Chen Liang on the side did not want to lower the morale of the people around him, but looking at this route, it is definitely not an easy task to achieve perfection.

"Not to mention that we need to find our way in a war-torn universe, more importantly, the bugs are our enemies. Their favorite thing to do is to rush around, looking for planets with energy, and then, like madmen, devour all the life energy on that planet. In this situation, it is difficult to get those bugs to follow the route we set."

"After all, this isn't a small fight. It's not just one or two swarms of bugs. This is a tidal wave of bugs. Even if we wanted to do this, we don't have enough manpower."

Upon hearing this, Li Shu subconsciously looked at Huo Wei.

Howie is the interstellar marshal, and in the confrontation with the Zerg, his words are the most convincing.

Huo Wei narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said, "Actually, the most critical problem is just one: insufficient manpower! If we had enough manpower, none of the situations you mentioned would be a problem!"

Chen Liang sighed and replied, "Yes, although the royal family attaches great importance to the insect swarm, they will definitely not deploy all their troops here. They need a large number of star beasts to protect their safety, so it is difficult to use the remaining star beasts to control the insect swarm's route."

For a moment, the entire space became extremely quiet. In this situation, it was like a good cook cannot cook without rice, and there was no solution at all.

Li Shu also frowned. There really weren't many active Star Beasts. If only the Star Beasts from Lido Prison could come and help...

Thinking of this, Li Shu's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Huo Wei, "I have an idea!"

Huo Wei raised his eyes and looked at Li Shu, "What's the solution?"

"We can ask the prison's star beasts to come over and help. Although it's not convenient for the star beasts from Lido Prison to come over now, there are three prison planets in the interstellar space. Although we don't know the exact number of prison planets on those two, it's definitely not less than that of Lido Prison!"

Li Shu's eyes lit up. "Even with the help of those star beasts, can't we solve the problem of lack of manpower?"

Before Li Shu finished speaking, Chen Liang looked at him with disapproval and said angrily, "Mr. Li, we are not desperate yet, how can you be so cruel?"

Li Shu: “?”

He looked at the other person in confusion, his face darkening. What had he done to make him cruel?
