Wen Zhen and Huo Shen both witnessed Cen Yu's performance at the temporary base.

Wen Zhen glanced at it and asked, "When did his mental power evolve?"

Huo Shen didn't turn his head. "You're asking me? It wasn't me who stayed on Planet Aquamarine with him."

In the past, Wen Zhen could have dealt with the monster in the palace, but since his glands were injured and his mental strength was damaged, even though his appearance had healed, his mental strength was completely incomparable to what it used to be... The helpers that Wen Zhen brought could only take care of some of the outer insects.

"Where is His Highness?" Wen Zhen asked.

"It seems I'm still prepared to remain human," Huo Shen said, his words muffled by a cigarette dangling from his lips. "The Empire simply cannot withstand another blow like this."

The eldest prince was bitten to death by the crazed old emperor, the princess disappeared, and the second prince turned into an insectoid...?

Huo Shen didn't dare to imagine that scene, so everyone who knew the secret tacitly approved of Li Chonghe's concealment.

Meanwhile, Li Chonghe was leading his forces to eliminate the Zerg from the other side. Perhaps because the Zerg could understand their language, he was more efficient, which gave more people confidence in the Second Prince.

All the people in Xingdu entered the underground bunker.

Some of the events on the ground would be broadcast underground... Before they knew it, Cen Yu and the name of that mecha gradually spread.

"As long as he's still going crazy, these Zerg won't stop."

Huo Shen said that these insectoids only appeared because of that madman in the palace.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Queen Insect's genes, the insects rushed towards Star Capital in a frenzy. The best way to get rid of these insects is to kill the madman in the palace.

"You didn't think about contacting Chi Jiazhen?" Wen Zhen asked.

"I've thought about it." Huo Shen stubbed out his cigarette. "...Do you think Chi Jiazhen will listen to me?"

Knowing Chi Jiazhen's identity, Huo Shen's team members were always very wary of him, fearing that before the madman in the palace was dealt with, another one would emerge from behind them.

Huo Shen thought these people were overthinking things. He saw that Chi Jiazhen was perfectly sober and hadn't made a move, just waiting for a bargaining chip.

Ultimately, Huo Shen, representing a group of people, approached Chi Jiazhen to negotiate—

"You probably also hope this matter will end soon...?" Huo Shen said uncertainly, scratching his head in annoyance.

“It makes no difference to me.” Chi Jiazhen didn’t look at Huo Shen.

Huo Shen frowned as he looked at Chi Jiazhen.

As the main planet of the empire, even with reserves, it would be difficult for Xingdu to sustain a protracted war, especially with the Zerg constantly emerging. A swift victory is the best approach... Ideally, Chi Jiazhen could also get those Zerg to leave Xingdu.

Finally, Huo Shen sent a message to the communicator, and a moment later, Cen Yu, who had returned after completing his mission, entered the temporary conference room.

He pulled his black combat suit down to his waist.

He was wearing only a thin T-shirt on his upper body, which was now soaked with sweat... Cen Yu glanced at the two people in the conference room, greeted Huo Shen, and then sat down.

Huo Shen naturally knew that since Cen Yu's mental power evolved, he had become even more adept on the battlefield. He looked at Chi Jiazhen, whose expression had finally changed since Cen Yu entered.

"What kind of promise do you need? Or what do you want?" Huo Shen asked Chi Jiazhen.

Chi Jiazhen didn't have to come back at all; since she did, it was most likely Cen Yu's idea.

He then looked at Cen Yu, indicating that he could fulfill any request within his authority.

“Whatever happens on the battlefield, we will not pursue it afterward,” Chi Jiazhen said. “I need to conceal my identity.”

He didn't want the Empire to discard him after using him; rather than letting people know that Chi Jiazhen was a Zerg, it was better for Huo Shen to keep the secret from the beginning.

Huo Shen made an "OK" gesture. In any case, only the core members of the Fifth Legion knew about Chi Jiazhen's matter. As for the rest, such as Wen Xi and others... he could sign an agreement.

Just as Chi Jiazhen was about to say that it was over, she saw Cen Yu staring at her.

"?" Chi Jiazhen didn't understand Cen Yu's meaning at first, but after understanding his thoughts, she added to Huo Shen—

"And also, outstanding graduates of the Imperial Military Academy." Chi Jiazhen pointed to herself and Cen Yu, speaking to Huo Shen's bewildered gaze, "Cen Yu and I are this year's outstanding graduates of the Imperial Military Academy."

...

Cen Shen also temporarily arrived at the underground shelter.

After that series of events, Cen Shen's problems suddenly became insignificant, especially since he was genuinely unaware and always believed that he was researching a drug that could change a person's gender.

To prevent the Zerg from entering, the underground facilities are quite complete. Apart from the lack of sunlight and the fact that food is all nutrient solution, everything seems to be pretty much the same as before.

The communicator has temporarily become useless electronic waste, and the only external intelligence they can obtain is the reports delivered at fixed times.

The method of calculating time also became simple... Cen Shen made another mark in the temporary residence. It was a room that could accommodate 10 people. He lived with people from all walks of life in Xingdu, including nobles who had accidentally ended up here.

The most discussed topics were how long the nutritional supplements could last and when the treatment would finally end.

Cen Shen has been watching TV all this time.

On the television screen, a mecha painted with lily of the valley patterns descended from the sky, followed by the other members of the squad.

Soon, the members of the Fifth Legion's temporary squad left the mechs, and Cen Shen saw Cen Yu's face.

In the video, Cen Yu still had that indifferent and nonchalant look. He turned his head and said something to the Alpha next to him... Cen Shen looked at the two beauty marks under his eyes. Perhaps sensing the presence of the camera, Cen Yu raised his eyes to look at the camera, and then turned his gaze away.
