The Empire's First Fleet is defeated, and the calm, beautiful, undefeated First Commander Shen Que is severely injured, becoming a frail invalid.
Even more shocking news arrives:
Th...
Anya's face turned even redder.
She watched as a sharp dagger slipped out of Shen Que's sleeve and he cut the rope with his backhand.
"What did you see?" Shen Que walked to the little maid and helped her untie the rope.
A feeling of shame welled up in her heart. Anya lowered her head and cursed herself in her heart - she had opened the door out of concern for her wife, but not only did she get tied up, she even needed her wife to save her.
Anya wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She told Shen Que everything she saw on the ground, then pursed her lips and whispered:
"Wow, wow, wow... Madam, I'm sorry. It's all Anya's fault for being useless..."
Shen Que comforted him, “It’s okay.”
Anya's sudden entrance was unexpected.
At that time, he had been tormented by Pei Ji's mental power to the point of being unconscious, and he had no strength to respond when the little maid knocked on the door.
I glanced at the maid who was trembling with nervousness. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.
Shen Que sighed silently.
Actually, just knock her out will be enough... There's no need to tie her up as well...
But that's the end of it.
Suddenly, everything that had just happened in the airship warehouse flashed through my mind.
perhaps……
Shen Que collected his thoughts and looked around the tunnel they were in again.
Judging from Anya's description, the place they passed by on the way should be a gold sand smuggling factory.
Garnier didn't take him to the factory to kill him, but tied him here, which means there is something in this tunnel that can kill him.
He turned around and took a step forward when Anya immediately followed him.
"Ma'am, let me help you! Don't fall!"
He said solemnly, "It's okay, I'm not that fragile..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a strange buzzing sound coming from one end of the tunnel.
They both stopped at the same time.
I saw a hunched figure slowly walking towards me from the end of the tunnel, and the black shadow was cast on the wall, stretching very long.
The shadow had long tentacles extending from its forehead, a hard shell covering its body, and a pair of wings trembling gently.
Shen Que's expression was stern.
It's a bug!
As this figure appeared, more shadows appeared on the tunnel walls, slowly approaching like ghosts.
Anya suddenly tugged at the hem of Chen Que's clothes, "Over there!"
Shen Que looked back and saw the shadow of the Zerg appearing in another direction.
Just a quick glance showed that there were at least hundreds of them, several times more than what they had encountered in the abandoned mine.
So... this is the base where the Zerg are kept captive... huh...
Shen Que stared at the Zerg on both sides vigilantly, clenching the dagger in his hand.
As the first bug rounded the corner, golden compound eyes locked onto them.
Fresh humans... Fresh meat and food...
The swarm of insects paused for a moment, and then a roar was heard, and a tide of insects flapped their wings and flew over at the same time!
Shen Que dodged the attacks of the two insects in front, and with a flash of cold light from the dagger, he just managed to cut off their wings.
He protected Anya behind him.
There is no way.
Escape is one thing, but the key is to prevent them from making any insect sounds.
They saw the dense green tide was about to drown them.
He closed his eyes.
You must use mental strength.
However, just before he was about to release his mental power, a powerful mental force suddenly burst out in the closed tunnel.
Like an invisible gust of wind, it occupied the surrounding space fiercely and swiftly, creating ripples.
The insect in the front was suddenly startled and its movements slowed down for a moment.
At this moment, Shen Que only felt the figure beside him flash, several cold lights flashed, and the insects within a radius of five meters with him as the center of the circle fell one after another.
Turned into pieces of wreckage.
The petite figure fell from mid-air and landed in front of him.
Anya weighed the half of the steel bar she had just picked up, and threw the makeshift weapon, which was still covered in yellow slime, to the ground with a loud bang.
"S-Sorry... Ma'am."
As her voice rang out, another wave of mental power spread out, forcing the insects on the periphery back a whole circle.
The little maid took out a rubber band from her apron and tied up her scattered hair. Then she tore open her skirt below the knees with a "swish" and tucked the remaining hem into her belt.
Then, she hunched over like a hunting cat, hooked silver threads between her fingertips, and pulled out two small dagger-like weapons.
"Mrs. Ai Fan ordered that I must not reveal my identity to her unless absolutely necessary."
Her face flushed as she explained to Shen Que in a low and shy voice.
"I am……"
"White Sand Planet... Shadow Knights, First Squad, Anya."
The little maid gripped the specially shaped weapon, looked around at the swarm of insects that were rushing towards her again, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"If you want to hurt our lady, please step over my dead body first."
