Chapter 184

After settling Angel down, Aesop looked at his body tiredly and returned to his room.

When the door of the room closed, he finally couldn't help but sigh and found that he had regained his freedom of movement.

He was stunned for a moment, then he relaxed completely.

Aesop fell back on the bed, covering his eyes with the back of his hand—damn Lu Ze! He only knows how to use such despicable tactics. If he has the guts, let's fight him one-on-one!

Absolutely! I will never lose!

He stood up and looked around, frowning: "Lu Ze, are you there?"

No one responded.

"Lu Ze is not here...then where could he be..."

Although Lu Ze had been there for the past half month, he stayed in the room and did not go out. He originally thought that Lu Ze had returned with him.

Wait, Lu Ze isn't here, where did he go back to?!

Thinking that Lu Ze might go to find Angel, Aesop's eyes suddenly became sharp. He jumped out of the bed and walked to the door in two steps, but when his hand was on the door handle, he couldn't help but hesitate.

If Lu Ze really finds Angel, then it seems there is no point in going there alone.

Given the controlled state I'm in now, if I really go, Lu Ze can stop me with just a word... It would only be embarrassing if I go.

Then don’t go?

But wouldn't it be inappropriate not to go? It would be like watching Angel die.

...In terms of strength, Angel is not as strong as himself, so he will definitely lose.

Aesop was in a dilemma. His reason told him that it was useless to go, but his emotion told him that not helping others was no different from betraying the main civilization.

The other side.

Lu Ze, who had knocked Angel unconscious with simple and rough means, watched the brain worm use its mental power to weave a false memory, and then planted an illusion seed composed of mental power. After finishing here, he went to the next room and did the same to the people who came with Angel.

"Leave a parasitic seed on him." Lu Ze said to the brain worm.

With the number of parasites so limited, Angel is not qualified to be parasitized, but his boss Kadar Hemans is very suitable.

Kadar Hemans is the highest-ranking person in the Ikal Civilization in the Western Ring Star Belt. Kadar is fully responsible for the Ikal Civilization's transactions in the Western Ring Star Belt, and it is more profitable to parasitize on him.

However, to be on the safe side, you still have to observe first and then choose the most appropriate time to parasitize.

The opponent's strength is stronger than the previous parasites. He is a rare star refiner who has reached A-level in mental control and also possesses the fifth-level peak star power.

It is said that there is hope to break through to the sixth level in the future.

Kadar Hemans is the stabilizing force in the Ikar civilization and the most powerful person in the entire civilization. That is why he was sent to the Western Ring Star to handle the civilization's foreign trade affairs.

——If you want to trade in the Western Ring Star Belt, in addition to the main civilization being powerful, your own strength cannot be too weak, otherwise it will not be so easy.

“Ohhhh~~”

After giving the last person a mental suggestion, the brain worm finished its work and fluttered its wings a few times before flying into Lu Ze's arms, looking listless.

At this time, someone would have rubbed the brainworm's fat head to comfort it, but unfortunately it ran into the cold-blooded Lu Ze.

Even though he could simulate emotional responses, he would adopt energy-saving mode when it was not necessary and would not react at all to the brain worm's coquettish behavior.

Lu Ze left with the brain worm in his arms.

The brainworm who didn't get a response: =口= I can't keep this partner anymore.

Then the brainworm in Lu Ze's arms moved a little, with its butt facing outward, burying its head in his chest and yawning.

Forget it, let’s take a rest first.

I've consumed too much energy today, I can't handle it...

The strength of the brain worm is based not only on its own strength but also on the swarm's mental network. Both are indispensable. If one is missing, it will inevitably place a burden on the brain worm itself, just like now.

…

In Aesop's room.

Aesop gave up struggling and decided to leave it to fate. He heard the sound of the door opening, then closing, but no one came in.

He gritted his teeth and put on a vicious look: "Lu Ze, it's you."

Apart from Lu Ze, Aesop couldn't think of anyone else who could enter his room as if it were his own.

Lu Ze entered stealth mode, revealed his true appearance, and said to Aesop: "Tomorrow, I will go with you."

Aesop's mouth twitched. It was exactly what he expected.

"You followed us to the transport ship just now, right?"

"What did you do?"

Lu Ze walked to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, pretending not to hear what Aesop said.

"I'll be leaving after tomorrow and will contact you later."

Aesop's forehead was bulging with veins as he was completely ignored. This man was talking to himself.

Calm down, there are more important things to do now.

"You're leaving?"

This is a good thing for him. Lu Ze's departure means that he will not be watched and he will have the opportunity to find a way to solve the problem of being controlled.

"What are you going to do?" You are not going to do anything harmful to the main civilization, right?

Lu Ze tilted his head and smiled: "What I'm going to do has nothing to do with you."

"But you, don't think you'll be safe if I leave you. Parasitism isn't as simple as you think."

"If you don't want to die or become a complete puppet, then it's best not to have even a single thought of betrayal after leaving the Western Ring Star Belt. The larvae parasitic on your spirit body can't tell whether you truly want to betray or just think about it."

"They are quite rigid-minded and may resort to extreme measures to eliminate threats."

How could Aesop not hear that this was a warning to him? He frowned tightly but didn't even know what to refute. Are brain worms really that scary?

Also, why was it specifically mentioned that "leaving the western circumstellar belt" was involved? Would distance affect one's control over oneself?

If this is the case, then the farther the distance, the less Lu Ze can control himself directly, and he can only be indirectly controlled by the insects parasitic on his spiritual body?

Lu Ze looked away.

He was not interested in Aesop's plan, as it would not succeed anyway.

There have been no exceptions to the control of brain worms so far.

the next day.

The transport ship left the fleet and arrived at the docking platform in the warehouse area.

Various types of transport ships are coming and going here. The freight robots are constantly moving the goods into containers on the transport tracks, and then driving them to various storage areas one after another.

Civilizations that focus on technology have developed the intelligence of bionic people and robots to the extreme. Jobs like carrying already have a mature operating system, so it is rare to see natural people doing manual labor here.

Most of them are just going through the motions like Angel and his team. Once all the goods have entered the warehouse, they will take a look and their work is done.

This gives Lu Ze a lot of room to maneuver.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the five thousand female insects who left Tianyun Star with Lu Ze.

Interstellar travel within the Milky Way has developed to the point where a half-month voyage while preparing for the Zerg is nothing, provided that sufficient preparation is made.

The female insects who left Tianyun Star this time were not so lucky.

In order to transport the young Tianjia people, there is a basic life support system on the transport ship, but such a life support system is unable to support the survival of 5,000 female insects for 15 days.

Therefore, hibernation becomes the best option.

Compared to some races that need special hibernation chambers to reduce their life activities to a minimum, the Tianjia Zerg's way of hibernation is very simple, and they possess this ability themselves.

The drugs that were once injected into the cubs can help them prolong their hibernation period, but only require increasing the dosage.

After all, the dosage of medicine given to the cubs is not enough to put the adult Zerg into hibernation.

After the investigation fleet arrived outside Tianyun Star, Qi Heng moved out the stock of these medicines for secondary processing so that the medicines could be used by adult female insects.

Then use teleportation technology to transfer the medicine to the transport ship in advance, so that they can pick it up themselves after boarding the ship.

In this way, the female insects who had just boarded the transport ship fell into a hibernation lasting half a month under the effect of the potion.

The dosage was already prepared. Even if Angel and the others did not request a visit, Lu Ze would arrange for them to leave the transport ship after the effect of the medicine wore off.

Now, all we need to do is let the robots on the transport ship wake them up in advance.

For Lu Ze, it was not difficult to transfer the female insects.

The more technologically advanced a place is, the more advantageous it is to him, especially in a place like the Western Ring Star Belt where 99.9% of the people are robots and surveillance.

By using the public network of the Western Ring Star Belt as a springboard, invading the monitoring, dispatching and freight systems of the warehousing and logistics areas... one can easily conceal one's tracks.

Under Lu Ze's operation, some changes occurred in the warehouse area that was originally well-organized.

First of all, no new transport ships entered the vicinity of Entrance No. 3 of Warehouse B7 area where the Ikar civilization was located. They were all transferred to the adjacent entrances by Lu Ze in a roundabout way.

He also modified the navigation route in the warehouse area so that people using the navigation would not pass through Exit 3 of Area B7.

There are not many intelligent AIs like Lu Ze who are disguised as bionic humans in the entire Milky Way. The main AI responsible for the Western Ring Star Belt is only Class B, which is a complete crushing defeat.

As long as he doesn't attract the attention of the A-level AI in the tower, he can walk sideways without any problem.

...All the surveillance footage in the entire area was modified to show nothing happening and ready for replacement. The robots followed his instructions and carried the only transport ship with ore.

As for the others...

Five thousand people gathered together would attract too much attention. Considering that each group of ten people only had one communicator that could be used for communication, Lu Ze could only let them leave in batches from different exits.

He secretly controlled all the surveillance along the way, including all the identity verification procedures he encountered. Only in this way could this group of illegal immigrants leave smoothly.

While Lu Ze was running five hundred programs to deal with the issue of the female insects leaving, he also had to communicate with the Zerg leaders of each group.

It is not enough to just leave, they also need to be provided with a temporary place to live.

Fortunately, Lu Ze is an AI, otherwise it would be difficult to make so many arrangements in less than 48 hours.

So what did Lu Ze, who seemed to be doing nothing in Aesop's eyes, do in these two days?

——As soon as he connected to the West Ring Star Belt network, he began to arrange the resettlement of 5,000 female insects.

——After making a fortune by exploiting the information gap on the Internet, they created a group of fake identities and rented different residences. These residences were scattered in different areas of the Western Ring Star Belt so that they would not gather together and attract attention.

And these are just the first steps Lu Ze took after arriving in the Western Ring Star Belt.
