Mystery Journey (19)

The word "complain" hit Zhou's weak spot hard, forcing him to be cautious. Although he was very reluctant to be easily controlled by Shi Jianxia, ​​he still quietly removed the restraints on Gongye Jiwang and others.

The golden power did not disappear, but turned into an invisible hand that approached Shi Jianxia's forehead, bent its fingers and flicked it hard, just like the kick that Zhou gave Xia Yuanji on the forehead when he was still a little bee and left Shi Ting.

Shi Jianxia, ​​whose head was thrown back by the bounce, thought angrily: "You childish bastard! No wonder your mother treats you like a son! You deserve it!"

Fortunately, Zhou didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would definitely teach her a lesson.

Shi Jianxia pretended not to think about anything and rubbed his eyebrows.

A few seconds later, the higher-level Zerg that were watching the surrounding area eagerly seemed to have received some kind of order. They looked at the two tentacles on their heads in confusion, and flew away reluctantly while flapping their wings.

Shi Jianxia's words successfully threatened Zhou and also intimidated Gongye Jiwang and others who were still confused about the situation.

Gongye Jiwang's eyes showed obvious surprise. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Are you talking to the Zerg king?"

Also mentioned mom?

Is it her mother?

Shi Jianxia nodded, a little unsure how to describe the strange and complicated relationship between herself and Zhou. After a moment's hesitation, she reluctantly concluded, "He's kind of my half-brother."

Although Zhou really wanted to be her stepfather, his mother obviously didn't have that idea and at most treated him as a son.

Thinking of this, Shi Jianxia glanced at the little bee that was looking up and down at Gongye Jiwang with curious eyes, and felt that he needed to establish a correct world view for it while it was still young, so as not to be led away by the unreliable Zhou.

Gongye Jiwang paused in his motion of wiping his sweat, clearly not reacting at all. He subconsciously asked, "What?"

Shi Jianxia glanced at Lei Xin and the others who were also wiping sweat and approaching, and said calmly, "I found my mother. She raised the Zerg King who was once captured by the doctor for research. She disappeared more than ten years ago and accidentally came to the Zerg universe. She is still in a coma, and I don't know when she will wake up."

Lei Xin paused in wiping his sweat.

Shi Jianxia narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said, "Zhou said she was chased and seriously injured. If I find out who did it, I will definitely not let him go!"

She was under siege from all sides in the Federal Parliament, but the old marshal suddenly showed up and reversed the situation, tying her to him by blood. This was undoubtedly a timely help, and it was hard not to be moved.

But since Shi Jianxia traveled through time, she has suffered more and more dangers and malice. It is difficult for her to wholeheartedly trust a high-ranking person who has huge interests involved with her, and she always remains a little vigilant in her heart.

If the old marshal really regarded her as his long-lost blood relative, she wouldn't mind being a good granddaughter and becoming his dependent relative.

Even if the old marshal has ulterior motives, as long as it does not cause her harm, she will turn a blind eye and support this grandfather-grandson relationship that arises from the exchange of interests.

Now, she was almost certain that something was wrong within the Yunshang Legion, but she didn't know whether the old marshal had noticed it, or whether she speculated in a worse direction that he was the mastermind behind everything.

It is very likely that Lei Xin and others are conducting surveillance in the name of bodyguards, or the mastermind behind the scenes is among them or is related to them.

In this case, Shi Jianxia naturally could not treat them with the same attitude as before.

This is the Zerg universe. They cannot communicate across universes with people in the human universe. If there is something wrong with Lei Xin and others, there is no need to worry about alerting them by testing them out, which will make those who have been hiding in the dark be on guard.

Gongye Jiwang noticed the change in her eyes and smelled something unusual. He glanced at Lei Xin and the other two approaching without making a sound, "So, Aunt Shi was saved by the Insect King?"

Shi Jianxia nodded, "Perhaps the doctor didn't expect that when he asked my mother to observe and raise Zhou, it would create a family bond between them."

Gongye Jiwang looked at the little bee that was still curiously observing him and said thoughtfully, "Is this little bee the egg from Tianchen Star?"

The little bee understood what he said, vibrated its wings faster, flew over on its own initiative, and rubbed his cheek obediently, as if answering his question.

Shi Jianxia was stunned.

Gongye Jiwang had not expected it to behave like this, and his whole body was stiff and he dared not move.

The little bee didn't notice his stiffness at all. After rubbing against him, it flew around him twice and finally landed on his shoulder, gently stepping on the pollen that had been on it from collecting nectar.

Shi Jianxia looked at Gongye Jiwang's taut muscles, touched his chin and said, "You're quite popular with the little brats."

The first time 朏朏 met him, she shamelessly asked him for insect crystals. After that, she treated him like an automatic feeding machine and had to beg for food every time she saw him.

Just as he was thinking, Gongye Jiwang suddenly took action. He took out an energy crystal from his space bracelet and handed it to the little bee.

The little bee that was playing with pollen smelled the fragrance of food, turned its head, its golden compound eyes lit up, and it decisively hugged the energy crystal, opened its mouth wide and took a bite, happily crunching it.

Shi Jianxia: "..."

Is Gongye Jiwang's secret to interacting with the little ones to feed them with food?

The little bee was not picky about food at all. Even though it had eaten so many high-level energy crystals, it ate the sixth-level energy crystal in front of it with gusto.

Lei Xin and the other two moved closer. With their perception ability, they could hear the conversation between Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang clearly. Seeing the particularly friendly little bee, there was a hint of thought in their eyes.

"Is this the Zerg hatched from the egg with 3S-level potential?" Lei Xin asked.

The detailed information about the little bee has not been made public, but Resin and the other two have seats in the Federal Parliament, so they can naturally learn information that ordinary people cannot.

Shi Jianxia nodded.

Lei Xin looked at the little bee carefully, but there was no energy fluctuation all over its body, and it did not have a human body like the higher insects. He really couldn't see anything.

"Why is it so close to you?" asked another extraordinary third-level strong man.

Shi Jianxia said nonsense: "Maybe it's because Gongye and I rescued it from the Red Spider Lily's laboratory and sent it home."

Only a few people knew that she fed her blood to the bees. After that, everyone reached a consensus not to disclose the matter to anyone, so as to prevent Shi Jianxia from being targeted by more people.

Ji Yang and Su Xunyang were both tight-lipped people, so they kept the secret as promised and have not revealed it to anyone until now.

In fact, Shi Jianxia also felt a little strange. It was understandable that the little bee felt close to her. After all, it absorbed her blood and regarded her as its mother. But Gongye Jiwang had basically no intersection with it, so how could he receive its kindness?

Is this little bee a naive person? Does it just want to rub against people when it sees them?

Lei Xin and the other two looked skeptical, but since the facts were right in front of them, they didn't want to ask any further questions, so they asked about other things.

"I just heard you say that you found your mother? She was saved by the Insect King? If the Marshal knew that he had a new relative, he would definitely be very happy!"

Shortly after Shi Jianxia and the old marshal recognized each other as relatives, the old marshal asked about things related to her mother, such as where she was now, whether she was still alive, what kind of person she was, and whether the mother and daughter looked alike. He also wanted her photo.

Unfortunately, when Shi Jianxia asked him nothing, the old marshal seemed afraid that asking too much would make her sad, so he stopped asking.

Shi Jianxia nodded, "It's a long story. Are you all okay? Are you hurt?"

A simple sentence changed the topic to another direction. Although Lei Xin and others were quite curious about what happened to her during the time she was alone, they didn't dare to ask further.

Everyone shook their heads.

Gongye Jiwang said, "When we woke up, we appeared in this sea of ​​flowers. The power in our bodies was bound, and those high-level insects forced us to collect nectar..."

The four of them were detained by the higher-level Zerg together. When they fell into the river, Shi Jianxia was nowhere to be seen. Gongye Jiwang was burning with anxiety, but Zhou's power was too strong. He tried several times but failed to break free from the golden chains. Instead, he was suppressed even more strongly. He could only suppress his anxiety and wait for the right opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jianxia came here first and became half-brother and sister with the Insect King. The development of the matter was really outrageous.

Thinking of this, Gongye Jiwang reacted, "Then can we move freely in this area now?"

This is the Zerg's nest!

In the past, none of them would have imagined that they could move freely in the Zerg nest.

Shi Jianxia glanced at the bees diligently collecting honey around him, then looked back at the towering tree in the distance and said confidently, "If nothing goes wrong, it should be fine."

If things really don't work, she will call Zhou to support her. If he wants to be her stepfather, he must first learn how to be her backer.

At the same time, in the corridor outside the meeting room of the Zerg Investigation Department of Nan Teng Star.

Bai Xiaojiu sat in a chair, watching investigators and officers leave the meeting room one after another. His eyes fell on Xia Yuanji, who was the last to leave, and he showed hesitation.

Xia Yuanji woke up on the third day after Shi Jianxia disappeared. The power of the star core not only repaired his damaged spiritual power spring, but also allowed his mimicry level to be further improved, allowing him to enter the ranks of top-level extraordinary third-level powerhouses.

Upon learning that his beloved daughter had gone missing while on a mission to clear the Zerg Vortex, Xia Yuanji immediately cooperated with the military and the Zerg Investigation Office, and under the guarantee of Marshal Yunshang, he returned to the Yunshang Legion to take up a position and participate in the rescue operation.

Now, more than a month has passed since Shi Jianxia disappeared, and the space rift research team believes that the vortex under the deep sea will open in the near future.

Xia Yuanji, who had regained his rank of major general, was dressed in a solemn military uniform. After receiving Bai Xiaojiu's gaze, he gestured to Zhuang Mingyue and others beside him, indicating that they should go first.

After everyone had walked a certain distance away, Bai Xiaojiu stood up and called out "Uncle Xia" vaguely, then immediately added, "How about I go? You just woke up, so you'd better rest for a while."

Xia Yuanji noticed the boy's small movements of tugging at the corner of his clothes, raised his hand to touch his head, and said with a smile: "You have to take care of the house. I will bring Xia Xia back safely."

Bai Xiaojiu, who was about to use a suitable reason to convince Xia Yuanji to let him participate in this operation, was stunned. He never expected that he would touch his hair. His body was stiff like a piece of wood, and all the reasons in his mind were cleared in an instant.

Only when Xia Yuanji patted his shoulder again and asked him to protect himself did he come to his senses.

Looking at Xia Yuanji again, he had already walked away. Zhuang Mingyue and several officers surrounded him. I don’t know what they said. Zhuang Mingyue nodded and said okay.

Xia Yuanji noticed the eyes following him, turned sideways to look back, smiled and waved to the silly Bai Xiaojiu.
