Regardless of whether Lu Xiaoyao will go to the battlefield in the future, as newcomers, Hu Mingli did not intend for her and Lu Gui to charge into battle even though they had come here. The two siblings patrolled together with their seniors.

With Lu Xiaoyao's outgoing personality, she can get along well anywhere. Lu Gui watched as Lu Xiaoyao made the seniors laugh out loud as she talked, and the content she revealed was becoming more and more explicit.

"I've never seen a patrol ship like this before! It even has stealth capabilities!"

"That's right, it's the latest model. The Rear Admiral just bought this patrol ship this year, and this is the first time it's being used!"

Wow! We're so lucky!

Lu Xiaoyao's face was filled with amazement. "This way, even if the Zerg appear, they won't be able to see us! As long as we deal with it properly, we can even launch a sneak attack."

“That’s right, but this patrol ship also has its drawbacks,” said a senior pilot who was piloting the patrol ship. “The Zerg are very sensitive to radio waves. Even if this starship is visually concealed from us, we still need to cut off all communication with the outside world to ensure that we are completely undetected.”

"What if there's a sneak attack?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Lu Gui immediately realized that there was a flaw in the design of this patrol ship. "If the message is sent back, won't we be exposed?"

“But the purpose of patrol ships is to send messages back in advance.” Lu Gui was speechless as the seniors spoke.

"The stealth effect of this patrol vessel is for the safety of the patrol personnel. We will not expose ourselves until we find any problems, so that we will not be detected by the enemy's advance force or patrol force."

This is for our safety, not actually for surprise attacks or assassinations; those are only suitable for certain special combat situations.

Hearing his senior's series of explanations, Lu Gui seemed to be deep in thought.

"That's true. If the enemy is intent on launching a surprise attack, they'll easily target frontline guards or patrol personnel. This is precisely to infiltrate undetected, causing delays in communication..."

Lu Xiaoyao found it easier to understand how to live longer, especially after putting herself in the shoes of the patrol ship. She was even more satisfied with it.

"This is really great; even if it has a few minor flaws, it's okay~"

Lu Xiaoyao looked down at her personal computer and saw that the signal was indeed blocked. She wasn't dissatisfied and could understand it.

"This flaw could actually be improved with a few modifications, right?" Lu Gui was somewhat skeptical. Although he wasn't a professional, based on his knowledge, he knew that this flaw could indeed be improved.

Otherwise, how was the Federal President's mech made?

"It's expensive!"

As expected, Lu Gui's doubts were answered very realistically by his seniors.

"You mean that thing? Fixing this little flaw costs an extra 20 million star coins per patrol ship. These are patrol ships, not mechs. Why spend so much money?"

Seeing Lu Gui's somewhat bewildered expression, the senior shook his head repeatedly and continued, "Little guy, you don't know the value of money until you're in charge. Do you know how much these patrol ships cost? One is less than two million star coins, while a combat starship costs fifty million star coins. With those twenty million star coins, you can save up and buy another combat starship. Isn't that more useful than just patrol ships?"

"Our annual military budget isn't that much... where would we get the luxury of building that patrol ship..."

Lu Gui overheard the whispers of his seniors; he had indeed overlooked the price issue.

"In that case, this price is indeed quite good..." Lu Gui nodded awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

However, they did not expect that shortly after they set sail on this stealthy patrol ship that isolated information, Hu Mingli received a message that made his expression change.

"What? What do you mean by saying Mu Chen is controlled by the Zerg?"

"The literal meaning!"

Mei Qiu was also piloting her mech, chasing after the fleeing Zerg army, exchanging the latest news with Hu Mingli as she went.

"Tsk! How could this happen?"

Hu Mingli frowned, unable to understand how this had happened.

"I can't explain it in just one sentence." Mei Qiu said, her gaze falling on the dark figure in front of the mecha.

Mingmei hasn't said a word since what happened. After watching Mu Chen's consciousness suddenly being devoured by the Queen Mother of the Insects' spiritual power, Su Bo and Jin Yi even had a fight.

Then, the Queen Insect used Mu Chen's body to pilot the mecha and lead the remaining insectoids in retreat.

Troublesome!

Mei Qiu not only passed the message to Hu Mingli, who was preparing to ambush the insects on the way, but also to Yan Hui.

However, Yan Hui couldn't afford to worry about them.

"You guys can make do for now, capturing me alive would be best. I'm being chased by the Zerg right now, let's talk later!"

Yan Hui's hasty hanging up of the video call made Mei Qiu somewhat worried about the situation on Yan Hui's end.

In short, nothing seemed to be going well, including the fact that no new information had come from Chesil since he had told him a few hours ago that he had arrived safely on the central star.

The only good news is that all the people of Hualan Star have been safely evacuated. Even Mei Shi and Ming Yi have gone to Huayan Star to help prevent the roaming Zerg from accidentally discovering them.

Now, only the two brothers are left feeling anxious.

While leading their army in pursuit of the Zerg, they also had to keep an eye on their younger sister, and Mu Chen, whose fate was uncertain after trying to save Mingmei.
