After Chen Jingliu turned into a bug and flew away, people all over the country were discussing this matter heatedly.

Everyone is desperately seeking an answer.

Why did this happen? How did a bug get close to the Crown Prince? How did it charm the Crown Prince and become his consort?

Even if higher Zerg could disguise themselves as humans, they would only emit alpha pheromones; they couldn't disguise themselves as Omegas. How did Chen Jingliu deceive the Crown Prince?

Is the Crown Prince blind?

The public's doubts are getting sharper and sharper.

Deeply embroiled in this scandal, no one in the imperial family dared to speak out. They knew this was a scandal that would bring shame upon emperors of all dynasties. The fact that the imperial family, who always valued bloodlines above all else, had chosen a male insect as the Crown Princess was sheer utter utter chutzpah!

This incident has already spread throughout the galaxy, causing extremely negative impact on the image of the empire.

"When I go abroad in the future, I won't even dare to say I'm from the Empire!" one netizen said angrily.

His message resonated with many people.

The bizarreness of this incident could be written into "Interstellar Strange Stories".

Public outrage quickly spread online, with people lashing out at the royal family and expressing deep disdain for Crown Prince Li Siwei.

At this very moment, the military was preparing to hold a massive press conference at the Imperial Plaza, inviting media from across the country to cover the Zerg and Chen Jingliu. They had all the answers the public desperately needed.

As soon as the news came out, media from all over the imperial capital flocked to the scene. When they arrived, they found that the military was not joking this time. All ten elders were there and were sitting on the rostrum. The venue was heavily guarded inside and outside. There was also a huge light screen floating in the air, which was constantly playing the image of Chen Jingliu growing tentacles.

There were thousands of reporters who received invitations, and even paparazzi came, making the scene very noisy.

This is definitely not the military's style.

From this we can see that the severity of the news that the military is about to announce may exceed everyone's imagination.

The reporters grew increasingly anxious, craning their necks to peer at the podium, eager to pry the elders' mouths open. It was already time, what were they still waiting for? Where were the reporters' questions supposed to be answered?

The timer turned to 10:05, and the ten elders suddenly stood up and looked at a door behind them.

Then, the door opened, and a slender figure slowly stepped into the spotlight.

The ten elders stared at the man intently, then applauded, smiled, nodded, and were very respectful.

Thousands of reporters opened their eyes wide and showed surprised expressions.

The person who walked out of the door was not a high-ranking figure, but Zhuang Li, who had caused a farce because of a chip some time ago.

He had previously broadcast live from the Senate, so reporters had long suspected he had a distinguished background. But no one had expected Zhuang Li to appear as a peer before the ten elders.

He could be the last one to appear, leaving all the elders sitting in their chairs waiting; he could stroll to the main seat in the middle and sit down with peace of mind.

Yun Ming followed closely behind him, like a bodyguard with no sense of presence.

Honestly, this way of appearing was really weird! Even more incomprehensible than Chen Jingliu turning into a bug.

The chip invented by Zhuang Li has seriously violated the fundamental interests of Alpha. Why doesn't the military led by Alpha suppress him?

What’s even more strange is that if they don’t suppress him, why does the military protect him so much?

What virtue and ability does Zhuang Li have?

The reporters' noise grew louder, and the Imperial citizens who watched this scene through their cameras were filled with question marks. They were increasingly confused about Zhuang Li!

[He might have cast a Gu.] A netizen who studies archaeology began to explain what a Gu is.

The more everyone listened, the more they felt that this statement was very reliable. Only in this way could the abnormal behavior of the ten elders be explained.

Amidst the heated discussion, the press conference began. The first reporter whose name was called eagerly asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhuang, what qualifies you to be here? Are you a soldier? Have you ever performed any military service? What is your position?"

He is an alpha, so he hates Zhuang Li deeply.

Yun Ming looked at the reporter sharply, as if trying to identify the name tag on his chest. The ten elders also showed displeasure.

The reporter straightened his chest, not afraid at all.

People without courage cannot do good journalism work. He wants to question Zhuang Li today in front of the people of the whole country - Who do you think you are?

Instead of feeling angry, Zhuang Li pursed his thin lips and chuckled. His narrow eyes curved into crescent shapes and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"After watching these two videos, come back and ask me if I'm qualified to sit here." He pointed to the sky above the square.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the light screen, only to see Chen Jingliu's face with tentacles slowly disappear and turn into a front line of artillery fire, where the human army was continuously firing artillery shells at the Zerg base.

Strangely, the shells' detonation caused minimal damage, emitting only a cloud of gray mist. A dense mass of low-level Zerg quickly passed through the mist, attacking the human army. But soon, hairy mycelium sprouted from their bodies, and black fruit formed at the tips of the mycelium. These fruit then exploded, sending forth more gray mist.

In just a few minutes, the screen was obscured by a thick layer of gray fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.

A human spaceship passed by close to the ground, stirring up a gust of wind that blew away the gray fog.

It was not until this moment that the reporters exclaimed in disbelief; the people sitting at home watching the live broadcast were so shocked that they were speechless.

When the fog dissipated, the battlefield was left with countless insect corpses, one after another, piles after piles, and no one could believe that just a few minutes ago, these insects were waving their claws and launching a fierce attack on the human army.

Their corpses shrivelled and cracked, revealing the white mycelium still growing in their abdominal cavities. Meanwhile, human soldiers, wearing protective helmets, slowly cleared the battlefield with flamethrowers.

The insect corpses, which looked like dead leaves, ignited at a touch and turned into ashes. Clouds of thick smoke rose into the sky, blending with the setting sun in the horizon to form a picture of death.

However, this time, it was no longer human soldiers who died in large numbers, but Zerg.

This image shrank and hung in the upper right corner of the screen. Then the same image appeared, shrank again, and was placed behind the previous one. Then, the same image appeared again, shrank, and was placed behind the previous one.

After watching for a while, the reporters realized that these images were not repeated, but victory reports from different battlefields.

The locations are marked below the neatly arranged pictures, including Bisso Star, Coola Star, Amy Star, etc.

Every engagement between the Empire and the Zerg in recent months has ended like this.

The lower Zerg, numerous as hairs on a cow, were being strangled by humans in droves, and large numbers of them died. Although the higher Zerg were stronger and more intelligent, their numbers were very small, and the human army could easily crush them.

If these images are real, then wouldn't that mean the empire has won a huge victory?

The Zerg King's egg-laying speed is simply no match for the speed at which humans exterminate the Zerg. What exactly is that gray mist bomb? With it, will the Zerg be wiped out?

From then on, people no longer had to send their sons and daughters to the battlefield; no longer had to check the front-line war reports every day and be so anxious that they couldn't fall asleep; no longer had to worry that one day they would abandon the home they had worked so hard to build and flee to another desolate planet.

After the Zerg are completely wiped out, the border is safe, the army is safe, the empire is safe, and everyone is safe!

Is the peace we've been waiting for for countless generations finally coming?

The reporters sitting at the scene looked up at the screen, tears in their eyes. Some even covered their mouths with trembling hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

The people sitting at home watching the live broadcast were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

One netizen gritted his teeth and typed: [Tell me this is true! Tell me this is absolutely not a joke! The military won't fool us like the royal family did, right? Right? Right?]

He asked question after question, the desire in his heart pouring out like a flood. He could no longer remember how many times he had moved to avoid the crazy Zerg army. His parents, brothers, and wife all died in the displacement.

Even the most heavily defended imperial capital had been captured by the Zerg five times, with millions of people killed. He didn't want to experience that hell again!

Countless netizens poured into the live broadcast room, shouting the same cry from the bottom of their hearts: [Tell us quickly that all this is true! ]

【Hurry up and tell me! 】

【The Empire was completely victorious, right?】

Peace has arrived, right?

Please tell us the answer! Please!

The painful cries turned into humble prayers, and everyone was waiting for the answer they most desired. They clasped their hands together, tears in their eyes, and wished they could go through the light screen to the Imperial Square.

The reporters sitting in the square were exhausted, they really couldn't hold it any longer. With red eyes, they looked towards the podium, their hands raised high, hoping that the organizers would call on them immediately.

The same question was brewing in all of them - was the Empire victorious? Was peace achieved?

Zhuang Li smiled maliciously, pointed at the screen and said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's still a video you haven't watched yet."

Another one?

The reporters quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes and looked intently at the screen, only to see the picture change and the light dim. A bug as big as a hill was lying in the cave. Judging from its bloated belly, it was actually the Bug King!

The military actually captured footage of the Insect King? How did they do it?

Before the reporters could be surprised, the insect king in the picture began to wave its front claws wildly, scratching the cave wall, sweeping up gravel and splashing dust.

It looked very manic.

Before anyone had time to raise any questions, they understood the Insect King's distress through some details.

The male insect responsible for carrying the eggs unexpectedly emerged from behind the Insect King empty-handed, making strange noises. It seemed the Insect King hadn't laid any new eggs.

Another male insect ran into the cave with an egg, cut it open with his claws, and showed it to the Insect King.

This egg was not fertilized and the larval embryo did not grow at all.

The Insect King raised his head and let out a sharp hiss.

The two male insects ran out of the cave in a hurry. Not long after, another large group of male insects ran in. They maintained the body appearance of insects and carried a large number of insect eggs on their broad backs. They transported them to the front of the Insect King and piled them into a small hill.

The Insect King used his front claws to grab the eggs and examined them one by one. He found that none of them were fertilized or developed. His screams suddenly rose several degrees.

The Insect King's fury caused the male insects to howl in pain, and the hidden camera exploded with a bang.

The screen fell into darkness, and the reporters froze for a moment before letting out a low gasp of horror. They vaguely realized that the amount of information contained in the latter video was far more incredible than the first one!

No way! The Insect King can't lay eggs anymore? And the eggs that have already been laid can't hatch into larvae?

Doesn’t this mean that even the higher-level Zerg will become extinct?

No, no, no, not the higher Zerg, the entire Zerg race! The entire Zerg race is going to be extinct!

Thinking of this, the reporters covered their chests and felt like they could hardly breathe!

There are many observant people among netizens.

They quickly popped up a series of questions: [The Insect King can no longer lay eggs?]

[The previous egg was not fertilized? ]

[The Zerg are going extinct? All of them, not a single one left?]

[I've finished watching the video, please reveal the answers! I'm so impressed!]

This was truly true. In the face of the extremely longed-for peace, everyone knelt down devoutly and prayed silently to God.

Only then did Yun Ming say in a deep voice, "As you can see, the lower-level Zerg have been infected with a super fungus and have all died. The higher-level Zerg have been infected with a super virus and have all lost their fertility. It's normal that only the Zerg Emperor remains, but he won't be able to hold on for much longer. A Zerg Emperor that can't lay eggs won't live more than a year."

Finally receiving the long-awaited news, everyone burst into tears. Whether it was the reporters on the scene or the people on the other side of the network, no one could contain their excitement and ecstasy.

They had waited for this day for so long, for centuries, for generation after generation. When they thought they would never wait, a miracle finally came.

They just want to hug the people around them and have a good cry.

At this moment, Yun Ming gestured to Zhuang Li and said slowly, "The super fungus and super virus that exterminated the Zerg were both invented by my lover. Does he have the right to sit here?"

The alpha reporter who had questioned Zhuang Li earlier: "..." Ahhhhh! Can I apologize to Zhuang Shen right now? Slide 50 meters on my knees!
