"It's alright. There is some danger, but fortunately we have a map."

Seeing her daughter's anxious expression, Mei Shi quickly offered words of comfort, while also glaring at the three silent men standing to the side.

Mei Shi: Ha, men!

Mingyi: ? ? ? ?

What's it to me?

Yan Hui: ...

This has nothing to do with me, right?

Mu Chen: ……

Okay, I'm guilty.

"What map? Where did it come from?"

Mingmei immediately asked the question, and then the next second she immediately thought of someone.

"Was it provided by that hybrid insectoid named 'Feng Li'?"

"She's clearly a half-mermaid."

Mei Shi didn't forget to emphasize this point at this moment.

Mingmei: "So, it's her, right?"

"That's how it is." Mingyi finally spoke up after Mingmei asked the last question, and added, "From what you've said, you must have met her in the game and learned quite a bit about her."

Mingmei nodded, then turned to Yan Hui and asked, "What about Uncle? How much do you know about the Zerg hybrids?"

"I know quite a few hybrids, but I really don't know much about Zerg hybrids."

For the first time, Mingmei discovered that Yan Hui also had a knowledge gap. Yan Hui wasn't embarrassed by the comparison and even said, "Tell me, under normal circumstances, who would willingly mate with the Zerg? Voluntary is probably rare, but forced... that's a death sentence. Who could endure that, uh..."

It wasn't that Yan Hui was deliberately making empty threats; it was simply the truth. The Zerg's coercion was a potentially fatal move.

Even if he knew a little bit about the experiment from Feng Li, the part that Yan Hui designed in the game was very vague, just as vague as what he knew.

Mei Shi and Ming Yi, who have deep knowledge of the Zerg, have something to say about this.

"The higher the level of the Zerg, the higher their intelligence, everyone knows that, right?"

After Mei Shi finished asking the question, everyone nodded in agreement; there was no dispute about it.

"Among the Zerg, there are hidden Zerg that can directly transform into humans. You should know quite a bit about the characteristics of these hidden Zerg."

No one seemed to disagree with Mei Shi's statement.

At this moment, Mingmei looked at Meishi and saw the slightly sarcastic smile on her lips as she asked these questions. Immediately, she felt that what Mingmei was about to say was probably not a nice thing.

After all, her mother doesn't usually behave like this; she must have encountered something extremely infuriating.

Is there a problem?

Yan Hui also noticed Mei Shi's displeasure and asked her about it.

Originally, when Mei Shi and Ming Yi arrived at his place today, he asked them how their trip went.

At that moment, Mei Shi had a rather unpleasant expression on her face.

Actually, if Mingmei and the others hadn't called the video call back then, given Meishi and the others' behavior at the time, Mingmei would have already brought it up.

Now that he asked this question, it was perfect timing, and Mei Shi took the opportunity to say what he had to say.

"The Zerg have wanted to become human for quite some time now."

...

Just as Mingmei and her family were having a casual chat after dinner at one of the best hotels in Qilanxing, the hotel welcomed several other guests.

Julian didn't remove his disguise until he entered the private room. Lu Xiaoyao looked at her boyfriend, whom she hadn't seen for many days, in his new disguise and exclaimed in admiration.

"Oh my god! You've made it look like we're doing something sneaky!"

"You're secretly dating, aren't you?" Julian sat down very close to Lu Xiaoyao, and Lu Xiaoyao blushed instantly when she saw his handsome face so close to hers.

Why are you blushing?

What do you think?!

Julian's knowing-it-all attitude made Lu Xiaoyao both embarrassed and ashamed. Seeing that she was about to get angry, Julian immediately said seriously, "The Federation has been quite turbulent lately."

"ah……"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao blinked and began to consider Julian's words more carefully.

"Is this something I can hear?"

“If I said yes, then of course it’s possible.” Julian nodded, looking at Lu Xiaoyao’s cautious expression.

Since Julian said it was okay, Lu Xiaoyao naturally followed suit and asked, "What's been going on lately?"

"The Zerg have been making quite a few moves lately; Zerg forces have been detected several times on the Federation border."

"ah?!"

Lu Xiaoyao looked at Julian in disbelief, then carefully examined him from head to toe, asking worriedly, "What about within the Federation? Are there any hidden Zerg making any moves?"

The Zerg's plans against them, as revealed by Mei Qiu before, were far too vicious. In addition, she herself had encountered them before, so there was no reason why Julian's identity wouldn't attract the Zerg's attention in the Federation.

"Yes, they've cleaned it up several times already; it's impossible to guard against."

Julian thought about it and decided to bring up Merita with Lu Xiaoyao.

"Meretta has been on leave from school for some time now."

"How could this be?!"

Lu Xiaoyao still remembers how Merita was so powerful when she went home for the New Year holiday.

They were in contact a while ago, and Merita said she was going to switch majors to one that was more suitable for her.

“Meretta’s grandfather was assassinated some time ago and has been in a coma ever since. There are rumors that my father was behind it…”

"Isn't that funny?"

Lu Xiaoyao would never admit that she was a shallow "face-value fanatic" because Julian's father was good-looking, and therefore she thought he was innocent.

Ah, after all, he's her boyfriend, and she thinks his father is a good person.

“My father will handle this.” Julian’s eyes curved into a beautiful smile as he showed his trust in Lu Xiaoyao, and then he mentioned Merita.
