Cen Yu recalled the photo he had seen, which showed something that looked like a cicada's molt, and the empty cicada shell he had found on the fifth underground floor.

Considering that Chi Jiazhen immigrated to a remote planet from Nott...

He didn't think Chi Jiazhen was an invincible good person. After all, having experienced several worlds, he had come to realize one thing—this system was completely unreliable, and the protagonists were all black-hearted bastards.

But when Cen Yu thought about how the protagonist of the original work, Chi Jiazhen, who was hailed as the hope to save humanity, was actually a Zerg, he still found it a little hard to imagine.

"So can I hitch a ride?" Wen Zhen asked.

"I think it's a bit cramped for four people to sit together." Cen Yu politely declined, but her expression seemed to say, "Give me some more information, and I'll consider it."

"Are you trying to raise the price on the spot?" Wen Zhen said, somewhat displeased.

“If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do,” Cen Yu said. “Anyway, it’s not feasible for four people to squeeze into the mech cabin.”

“Just say what you want to ask,” Wen Zhen said, as if he had just remembered something. “Wen Chunjin has already arrived at the Imperial Military Academy?”

There was no point in hiding it, so Cen Yu nodded directly, "He's also in this competition."

"Then he's lucky."

"It's a good opportunity to practice beforehand."

Cen Yu's expression was subtle. He genuinely doubted whether Wen Chunjin was Wen Zhen's child—although both of them had white hair, no matter how you looked at them, their facial features didn't resemble each other much.

"Have you heard of Project Eden?" Since Wen Zhen was willing to ask anything, Cen Yu didn't hold back, and even added a touch of offense, "You didn't conceal your Alpha pheromones... how come you weren't captured?"

Wen Zhen didn't expect Cen Yu to be so blunt; he knew the meaning behind the latter part of the question.

"You want to ask me why I wasn't captured by the Zerg to have children?" Wen Zhen looked at Cen Yu coldly. "Because my pheromones are too weak. They smell almost the same as a Beta's, so they have no value."

Upon hearing this, Cen Yu tried to subtly inhale the pheromones remaining in the warm room—

As the other party said, perhaps because the pheromones were not strong enough, Cen Yu had not felt much discomfort from the beginning until now.

The only slightly stronger pheromones were from the bed, probably because Wen Zhen had been sleeping there for many years.

Perhaps feeling that this question-and-answer session was a waste of time, Wen Zhen simply stated—

"The Zerg need Alpha pheromones to hatch, but there are also requirements for pheromones or mental strength. The higher the mental strength level and the stronger the pheromones of the Alpha, the stronger the Zerg will be born."

"Betas don't have pheromones, and Omega pheromones are undesirable to the Zerg."

When Wen Zhen said this, he was very calm, as if he was not saying anything shocking, but just giving a normal lecture.

"But Alphas cannot reproduce; they do not have gestation sacs. These Zerg are born by tearing open the mother's belly."

A scene from a movie immediately flashed into Cen Yu's mind.

“As for the Eden Project… I’ve never heard of it,” Wen Zhen said. “Where did you hear about it?”

At this point, it seemed there was nothing that couldn't be said, so Cen Yu didn't hesitate and directly revealed the observation diary that Wen Xi had discovered in the underground building.

This also includes the experimental subjects on the fifth underground level, as well as the empty shell belonging to the Zerg.

Wen Zhen laughed again upon hearing this, and when he looked at Cen Yu, his expression even carried a hint of pity. "Don't you already know perfectly well?"

"What is your relationship with Chi Jiazhen?"

He could certainly notice Chi Jiazhen's almost clingy and persistent gaze towards Cen Yu, as well as Li Chonghe's subtle attitude.

Cen Yu found it difficult to describe his relationship with Chi Jiazhen. According to the original work, Chi Jiazhen was his Omega (at least for now), but Cen Yu had never admitted this to others. After all, in his opinion, he would never be bound to Chi Jiazhen, a low-level Omega, for the rest of his life.

But when Chi Jiazhen was revealed to be a Zergling, everything changed.

Cen Yu finally said, "He is my Omega."

“The Zerg don’t love people,” Wen Zhen said immediately.

“Even high-ranking Zerg don’t understand what love is.” He had fought and killed too many Zerg, so he knew what was in their heads—killing and instinct—nothing else.

“I know,” Cen Yu said.

"I think four people can still squeeze in and sit down."

"Are there four people?" Wen Zhen asked.

"Are you sure you still want to take Chi Jiazhen with you?"

Wen Zhen took a few steps. The room was pitifully small; he only needed to walk a few steps to get close to Cen Yu. He bent down slightly, looked into Cen Yu's eyes, and asked, "Li Chonghe... are you sure taking Li Chonghe back is a good idea?"

"...Besides, Chi Jiazhen will be..."

"I'm sorry, Marshal."

Chi Jiazhen's voice rang out not far away. He knocked on the door a few times, "Although eavesdropping is not good, I don't think talking badly about people behind their backs is a good thing either."

Wen Zhen straightened up and glanced at Chi Jiazhen and Li Chonghe following behind her. He showed no embarrassment and didn't seem to think being eavesdropped on was a big deal.

“It’s not two mechs,” Li Chonghe said. “There’s one more.”

Chi Jiazhen took out the mecha button in her hand, "I put the mecha away before I was captured."

He didn't choose to take it out because they later entered the spaceship, and the two mechs entered the Blue Planet, making them too obvious a target.

“You can use this mecha.” Chi Jiazhen handed the mecha button to Wen Zhen. “This is a standard-issue mecha.”

Wen Zhen looked at the mecha button handed to him but did not reach out to take it. "I remember that the standard mechas at the Imperial Military Academy are all bound to student information."

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Chi Jiazhen still handed the mecha button to Wen Zhen, waiting for him to take it.

Li Chonghe didn't know much about Wen Zhen, probably because the Federation also protected this marshal very much, making it difficult to find out his information. All they knew were some public news, such as that he was almost abandoned at birth, but unexpectedly, his mental strength level was extremely high, and he rose all the way to the position of Federation commander.

"Are you still planning to return to the Federation?" Li Chonghe asked.

"Do you want to go back to the Empire?" Wen Zhen asked as well.

“If you don’t want to go back to the Empire, then I don’t want to go back to the Federation either.”

“I will go back,” Li Chonghe said.

“Then of course I am too.” Wen Zhen knew that someone had framed him, otherwise the space jump would not have gone wrong, and his glands would not have been damaged in this accident… Just like Li Chonghe is no longer entirely human and wants to return to the Empire to wait for a result, it is the same for him.

At this point, he finally reached out and took the mecha button that Chi Jiazhen handed him.
