Qi Heng played...

Chapter 100

Chapter 100

While Qi Heng was thinking, Lei and the others stood by without daring to make a sound, waiting for his next words.

Lei, who had been questioned and made a guarantee, was fine, but Jeyol and Niedo, who were now being stared at, were not so relaxed. Who knew what this Zerg wanted them to do by looking at them.

The last time he stared at them was just as the last time, and as a result, they worked almost non-stop for four or five days before they collected enough medicine for him. Just as they had rested and recovered a little, they heard the news of the arrival of this evil star.

They were still in bed the second before they heard the news, and the next moment they quickly got out of bed and dressed, not daring to keep the Zerg who called himself a "doctor" waiting.

...If they make this Zerg angry, they will be the ones who suffer.

Lei and Imper are now the Doctor's most loyal lackeys, forcing them to go east but not west. Thinking of this, Jayol couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The doctor's punishment was not so pleasant, and he did not need to impose it personally, because Lei and Imper did not dare to fool around... otherwise, he and Niedo would not have been so obedient in making the potion.

The F-grade body-hardening potion wasn't difficult for him and Niedo to prepare. The most difficult step was simply using mental power to channel star power. Overall, mixing it was simple. However, the "doctor" requested a large quantity—a full 1,500 bottles—which drained their mental energy completely.

After a long time, Jayol and Niedo, who were holding their breath, finally heard the voice of the "doctor". The feeling that the judgment had finally come to an end made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jyoel, Neddo."

In front of the 'doctor', Jeyol's behavior was no different from that of Nedo beside him. It was hard to imagine what he looked like as the highest authority in the base before.

"You are responsible for taking over Lei's work."

The moment they heard the doctor's words, the expressions on their faces suddenly became ugly.

Qi Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this and said, "You have objections."

Jeyol and Neddo answered in unison: "No."

They weren't stupid. To contradict the Doctor at this point was tantamount to courting death. In front of the Doctor, the combined worth of the two of them wasn't even worth bargaining with. In fact... their status was even lower than that of the completely controlled Lei and Imper.

Lei and Imper were unfortunately controlled by parasitic insects, but they also gained a little trust from the "Doctor". They were transformed from "consumables with use value but can be disposed of at any time" into "subordinates" with reservations.

They said no, but the fact was that Jayol and Nedo didn't want to take over Lei's job from the bottom of their hearts - it had nothing to do with their areas of expertise!

As researchers and scientists in the field of biogenetic engineering, they are completely different from mechanical manufacturing.

"That's good, no objections."

"As for quantity, since there are two of you, just double it." Qi Heng said casually.

He asked Jayol and Niedo to "screw in" but of course he didn't mean to literally screw in. At best, he was doing some assembly and welding work, mainly on items such as optical computers, weapons, and communicators that would be used in large quantities later.

There is a machine in the base that can automatically perform 3D printing by inputting materials. This machine is responsible for producing the main body and parts, which are then assembled manually. This kind of work is very easy to get started. If you really can't figure it out, just follow the steps in the teaching video.

"Also, I mentioned expanding the production of commonly used medicines. I've reviewed the plan to supply at least 5,000 to 10,000 people per month. I'll find a way to obtain the raw materials needed, so don't worry."

Of course, the medicine is not for personal use. The physical fitness of the Tianjia Zerg means that they rarely get sick, but that does not mean they will not get sick.

In particular, the environment on Tianyun Star is not good even for the Tianjia Zerg. Most of the time, they have to endure illness, which Qi Heng thinks is very bad.

—Adult Zerg are fine, but what about the immature ones, those young ones? Once they get sick, they're halfway to death.

According to the monitoring data obtained from the satellite, in twenty days at most, the hemisphere where the No. 1 and No. 2 bases are located will enter the severe winter season, which is similar to winter but colder than winter.

Some medicines for fever caused by colds and chills must be prepared in advance. Now that you have decided to take action, you should think it through thoroughly... Whether it is the gathering place No. 2 that is right in front of you or the gathering place No. 1 that is invisible, you should try your best to reduce the number of casualties caused by this severe winter.

"I hope to have the medications I need on hand in the quantities I desire before I return."

"Are you leaving Tianyun Star?" Lei asked subconsciously.

…They were afraid of the ‘doctor’, but the ‘doctor’ was not the kind of person who would get angry easily. Normally, the ‘doctor’ didn’t mind their inquiries.

"no."

"I'm just going to Base 1."

Hearing this, the others present were shocked, and they all thought to themselves, is he finally going to take action against Base No. 1?!

For a moment, everyone felt a little complicated.

He was worried that Base No. 1 would soon follow in his and others' footsteps, but at the same time, he was happy that there would be another unlucky guy to keep him company.

They had completely ignored the possibility that Base 1 could escape the Doctor's enslavement.

Base No. 2, which is stronger than Base No. 1, has already fallen. It is only a matter of time before Base No. 1 is controlled. Not to mention that the "Doctor" still has the brain worm in his hands that can control the host's behavior 100% after parasitizing it.

"Imper, you will be in charge of Base 2 from now on."

"Yes." Imper responded.

Jayol and Niedo understood that the 'doctor' was worried about them and was afraid that they would do something while he was away.

Qi Heng arranged their tasks and said to Lei, "Bring what you need and follow me. We are going to do a field survey."

Lei: “Yes…”

Before leaving the base, Qi Heng also took Wen Renyu with him.

Outside the base.

There was a hover car and a disc-shaped aircraft parked next to the white tower. Lei was moving things onto the hover car while glancing at the aircraft next to it out of the corner of his eye.

Aircraft... This is the first time I've seen one after coming to Tianyun Star for so long. There is only one aircraft on the entire Tianyun Star that can fly long distances, and it is parked at Base No. 3.

The use of this aircraft requires the consent of everyone in Base No. 2, and the reason for its use must be explained afterwards, making reporting very cumbersome.

But it was easy for the Doctor. The fellow with the Doctor, code-named Ghost, easily hacked into Base No. 3, activated the aircraft without leaving any trace, and erased all traces of its use.

Base No. 3 is different from Base No. 1 and No. 2. It was established by the Covenant. It was so easy to build it... It's really scary.

After moving the things, Lei glanced at the two Zergs who were talking not far away, then looked away and stood quietly with his head lowered, without any intention of eavesdropping.

Eavesdropping? What? He still wants to live a little longer.

Qi Heng, who was talking to Wen Renyu, did not fail to notice that a pair of eyes were falling on him, but he did not seem to care at all.

He took out a dormant blue-tailed butterfly from his pocket, handed it to Wen Renyu, and said, "Follow this blue-tailed butterfly in a moment. It will guide you."

The blue-tailed butterfly woke up the moment it appeared, flapping its wings and flying into Wen Renyu's hand.

"Once you arrive, you will separate from Lei. He will take you to meet the female insect codenamed 'Archon'. From then on, you will follow his instructions."

"Okay." Wen Renyu nodded obediently.

Qi Heng was somewhat helpless: "Don't ask why?"

"You won't hurt me." Wen Renyu's eyes were full of trust.

Ever since he rescued Wen Renyu, he had believed his words 100%. If Wen Renyu were one of his subordinates, his loyalty would be at least 80% in the system.

Unfortunately, there is no if, this is just a hypothesis.

Because Qi Heng did not regard Wen Renyu as his subordinate.

Wen Renyu's situation is different from Yan and the unicorn. Growing up in a laboratory, he is like a blank sheet of paper. Unlike Yan and the others who can be responsible for their own choices, he is also not like the latter who can be used in any way without feeling guilty.

The reason for sending Wen Renyu to Chu Xiu was, firstly, to let him get along with his fellow tribesmen, and secondly, to let Chu Xiu teach him a lesson.

Facing Wen Renyu, who looked at him with admiration as if he were an elder, Qi Heng sighed unconsciously, and then said to Lei Yi over there: "Alright, you guys can go now."

"Lei will be in charge of driving, and you will be in charge of communicating with Blue-tailed Butterfly and giving directions..."

"When you meet the Archon, get along well with everyone. They are all good bugs." He reminded them.

Wen Renyu responded obediently: "Don't worry, I will."

Qi Heng stood there and watched Wen Renyu and the others get on the car, then watched the hover car go away and said, "A0, get ready to go."

[Yes, Your Excellency.]

The aircraft hovered at a height of about 30 centimeters above the ground. After the hatch opened, a staircase extended downwards.

He walked up and entered the aircraft.

The hatch closed behind him.

The size of the aircraft is smaller than the escape ship on the Deep Blue, but because it has no other facilities except a cockpit, the interior space is very spacious for an individual.

Qi Heng sat in front of the console without touching any buttons. The aircraft under him took off steadily under A0's control.

【Route planning completed.】

[This flight destination: Base 1.]

【Direction confirmed, calibrated】

【--Set off! 】
