"Watch where you're going!"

This was already the umpteenth time he had reminded Yuling.

However, this time, Yu Ling did not immediately correct herself as before. Instead, she looked at herself with a complicated expression, as if she was going through a difficult internal struggle.

Then, Jonathan heard a "Sorry," and was suddenly wrapped up by the branches of a large tree next to him, hanging from the treetop in a bizarre position.

Yu Ling used her mental connection to thank the tree in the 'giant tree group', then casually threw off her bag and began to take off her clothes.

Jonathan: ? ? ?

One cannot... or at least should not...

Yu Ling certainly didn't want to do anything he shouldn't be doing here, nor was he an exhibitionist; he simply didn't want to leave behind any technological equipment from the Empire on his body.

Jonathan watched helplessly as Yu Ling threw away all her clothes and accessories, leaving her only in her underwear. He started imagining a scenario where a former serf had been liberated and a singing team member was bullying the captain, but...

Yu Ling ran away.

They just left him hanging in the tree and ran away alone.

Faced with this bizarre situation, Jonathan was to choose between calling for help from his teammates and finding a way to save himself, and he chose the latter.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with Yu Ling, his 'reliable image' of the other team members was deeply ingrained. When the team members came, they would either settle personal scores by beating him up or they would try to usurp his position as captain.

Ugh, what a lousy tree! Its branches can even bend? Tsk, it's tied pretty tightly.

Back to Yu Ling, he declared that the human race would occupy their habitat. After forcibly becoming familiar with the trees of Jupiter, he successfully obtained the location of Jupiter containing spatial energy under the guidance of those trees who were afraid of being used as firewood.

He rushed to the location, and the first thing he did upon arriving was to revert to his insect form. He opened his 'blood-red maw' and, amidst the trembling trees, bit down on the mass of energy curled up in the rare metal vein.

The already extremely unstable spatial energy was brutally devoured and torn apart by Yu Ling. This caused the entire Jupiter to tremble, and inside the spaceship, Xia Suo's instruments and equipment began to emit a piercing buzzing sound.

"The spatial energy has collapsed? This could pose a risk of time travel. Oh no, we need to contact the others immediately to return to the spaceship and take shelter."

Yu Ling, who was still eating, was quite confused, but since he had already eaten, he couldn't possibly spit it out, so he had no choice but to speed up his eating.

This action directly caused the entire Jupiter to be enveloped by the overflowing spatial energy at an accelerated rate, quickly covering the entire planet.

At this point, they no longer cared about samples or missions. Lyme and the rest of the team rushed back to the spaceship, covered in dust and grime. At least the power of technology would prevent them from being torn apart by the energy of space travel.

Lyme looked around but couldn't find Yu Ling among the people nearby. He asked Xia Su, who had been waiting on the ship, "Where are Jonathan and Lancelot?"

"They just came back to deliver samples, so they shouldn't have gone far, but they haven't returned yet..."

Xia Suo was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered that he had just mentioned discovering spatial energy, and that energy had immediately gone berserk—a very rare occurrence.

"Could this energy surge be related to the captain and his team?"

Upon hearing this, Lym could no longer sit still. He immediately tried to go out to find someone, but was stopped by Xia Suo and all the other special forces members.

"Don't run around now. The captain must have a way of avoiding trouble to become the captain. The people you picked up from that garbage planet are no less capable than you. If you go there, you might just hold them back."

Although what they said made a lot of sense, Lem remained determined to go out and find her. He had brought Yu Ling with him, so how could she lose her life in such an insignificant little place?

Unfortunately, before Lyme could even open the spaceship's door, the entire Jupiter was sucked into a cosmic wormhole formed by spatial energy emanating from its interior.

Yes, it wasn't a spacetime rift, but rather it opened a cosmic wormhole. It was also frightened by Yu Ling's relentless eating, and actually moved the entire planet to another star system.

At this moment, the unstable air pressure caused by the spatial transformation had already triggered the spaceship to sound an alarm. All the members of the special forces team inside had fainted, and a space on the planetary assets under the Empire's control was suddenly vacant, with only residual traces indicating what had happened there.

When Woolf received the news, she was stunned. How could her son be missing again?

StarNet requires the Empire's network signal covering the planets to function, and now the entire spaceship has completely lost contact with the Empire, and Lyme has once again become a wandering vagrant in space.

This time, however, he had a group of wandering teammates by his side.

On the other side, Yu Ling, having swallowed the spatial energy, only had time to return to her original spot. She swallowed Jonathan, who had been stunned by the spatial energy, into her stomach and used her insect body to protect his life, ensuring that his fragile human body would not be torn apart.

The system insect sensed Yu Ling's disappearance from the insect web and also returned to the system space from its insect body to take a look.

[Host, the side quest was to move the insect planet, so why did you lose yourself in the process???]

Yu Ling: "Stop talking nonsense. If I knew that swallowing this stuff would get me exiled, would I have touched it?"

Okay, he really does know how.

However, in that case, he would make thorough preparations before taking a bite.

[So what do we do now? Bennett is still cleaning up the Zerg everywhere, and the Hive is spawning more and more. He'll find the Zerg planet sooner or later.]

"I can only wait until I have complete control over spatial energy to travel back, and then move the insect planet here..."

Yu Ling sighed. All her hard work had been for nothing, leaving her feeling utterly overwhelmed and almost unable to hold her breath.

"Hold on for a few days, I'll try to digest it as quickly as possible. When I'm not around, you're the boss. If all else fails, bring other Zerg over to take the fall. In short, the Zerg planet absolutely cannot be exposed."

Finally, Yu Ling added, "System, you can definitely do it! Let's work together!"

The previously listless system immediately perked up: 【Received! Mission accomplished!】

After dealing with the garbage system, Yu Ling rubbed his bloated stomach, finding it difficult to transform into human form for a moment. However, fearing he might accidentally digest Jonathan, he vomited up a bunch of seemingly clear but actually sticky 'Zerg stomach acid' along with him.

Jonathan was completely disoriented. He was eaten while he was still in the state of a cicada shedding its shell after breaking free from the tree branch. He wasn't wearing more than two layers of clothing, just like when Yu Ling ran away.

At first glance, it looks quite strange.
