"Sounds pretty good."

Lu Gui first applauded Mu Chen's words in affirmation, followed by Lou Jia. The three of them shared the same attitude towards the Zerg.

So much so that when they mentioned killing the Zerg, the fleeting, twisted smile on their faces was exactly the same.

Although the viewers in the live stream cheered for them, they were also quite apprehensive – are all military academy students such insecticide fanatics?

The hidden Zerg who accidentally witnessed all of this through the live stream were both angry and frustrated.

At this point, comments like "Well done!" and "Damn the Zerg!" appeared on the screen.

Even if they want to say something, they have to consider whether they will expose themselves.

Ultimately, they decided to swallow their anger and, while being furious, also tried to imitate the humans by uttering some curses against the Zerg.

Damn it!

Whether it's these people or the game companies, they will destroy them sooner or later!

...

"I've never heard of you capturing a hidden Zerg."

The players agreed to test the waters together early the next morning using mechs based on the map of the Zerg distribution in outer space provided in the game.

They also wanted to see how the Zerg in the game differed from the virtual battles they usually experienced in class, before considering what to do next.

That evening, Mingmei quietly came to Mu Chen's room. Originally, she was going to study hard in the corner, but she couldn't help but ask Mu Chen about the battle with the Zerg.

"It was after I came out of the game 'Prelude' that night, during Minister Mei's live stream. I happened to be taking a walk outside, listening to her live stream while walking, and as a result, I just happened to run into the hidden Zerg player who was trying to escape."

Mu Chen's tone was relaxed, but he immediately followed up with a question: "So how did you discover it? At least the methods my brother has revealed so far all require external help, or a brief mental collision between someone with extremely high mental strength and the other party to detect it... You, meeting someone late at night, why did you launch a mental attack?"

If the former finds out that Mingmei knows Mu Chen definitely doesn't exist, then it must be the latter.

"No, not at all." Mu Chen shook his head, denying that he had a mental clash with the student disguised as a hidden Zerg from the beginning. "It's my personal special ability. Sometimes I have a high sensitivity to non-human things."

"Moreover, the man was in a hurry to leave and seemed very guilty. Once I noticed that he was suspicious, I stopped him, but he couldn't help but attack me first."

Mu Chen didn't seem to want to explain in detail what happened that night.

As for his special abilities, Mingmei was half-believing and half-doubting, but she could tell that Mu Chen didn't seem to want to talk about what happened back then.

So Mingmei didn't press the matter further, only saying, "This matter... you said it in front of so many people earlier, it was a bit impulsive..."

"Hmm, it's alright. It would be nice if this could uncover some enemies hiding deeper inside~" Ku smiled and reached out to take Mingmei's hand. "Let's not talk about that anymore. Didn't I promise you I'd study with you in the game? Now, it's study time~"

...

The next morning, everyone arrived at the armory at the culinary school. Seeing the dark circles under Mu Chen's eyes, Zhen Hu teased, "Pfft~ those dark circles, Mu Chen, did you do something wrong last night?"

Mu Chen chuckled and did not deny it: "Yes."

He spent the whole night stealing, stealing knowledge to "make a living."

"Let's put that aside for now. Today, should we go straight to outer space with mechs, or should we use warships first?"

When Zhen Hu said this, his eyes were very honest, staring straight at the dark, standing mech.

"Mecha."

Lu Gui and Lou Jia spoke in unison, and then exchanged a glance.

Lu Gui: "Although we are only assessing the situation today and are not preparing for battle..."

Lou Jia: "However, war sometimes comes unexpectedly, leaving us no opportunity to practice. Naturally, we must use our strongest combat power to be vigilant against the Zerg's attacks at all times."

"But the combat power of the starship is also very high, and its defense is even higher than that of the mech."

The starship Lu Xiaoyao was referring to wasn't the miniature warship Mu Chen piloted during the bloody battle, but rather the enormous one before them, capable of accommodating numerous soldiers and employing a variety of attack methods. (www.cascoo.net)

The prerequisite is that there are many people, and they are well-trained.

Clearly, these seven people were not only well-trained, but also completely lacked any coordination.

Is piloting this warship really okay?

"Even if we're piloting mechs together, we still need a commander."

After Yuan Fang finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense once again. Lu Gui chuckled and put his hands in his pockets: "You want to give orders?"

"No." Lu Gui's unruly and solitary nature made Yuan Fang, who had made the suggestion, somewhat regretful. He didn't mean anything by it; he was just making all the necessary assumptions and contingency plans in advance.

“If any of us are from the command department, we can let him give it a try,” Yuan Fang said, looking at the others. Only Lou Jia raised his hand.

"Then Loujia will do."

Despite Yuan Fang's suspicions about Yuan Fang's previous extreme hatred towards the Zerg, he wondered if the other party might lead them to perish together with the Zerg.

However, everyone has their own expertise, and at least for now, in order to prepare for the possibility that a real war might break out later, they still need to select a commander first.
