At this moment, at the edge of the star field.

The First Exploration Legion is stationed on a planet.

Roderick had just returned home after finishing his morning training and hadn't even had a chance to shower when he received a message from Emperor Star.

[The female insectoid Sophis, captured in the early morning, has been partially cleared of danger after a second examination. The Third Protection Legion reports that Sophis is merely ill, with only some neurological issues, and shows no signs of the bloodlust that might arise from the foreign invasion. Can the danger be considered resolved?]

Roderick frowned as he looked at the message on the screen. How could this be?

The Third Protection Legion's testing was based on scientific evidence.

But Roderick's intuition told him that this was definitely not the truth.

Based on Sophie's performance last night, anyone who saw it would think that something must have gone wrong for such a drastic change to happen.

If a person changes, there are only two possibilities. The first is that it is caused by changes in the external environment, and the second is that there is a problem within the body itself.

Just as Roderick was pondering, Han Ling walked over from the side and asked:

"What's wrong, Roderick?"

Seeing the carefree and content look in Han Ling's dark eyes, Roderick smiled slightly.

At this moment, he could only smile when he looked at Han Ling.

Roderick reached out, dragged the screen, showed the message on it to Han Ling, and explained:

"Sir, the second interrogation is over. The Third Protection Legion found nothing unusual this time, and they want to close the case. Perhaps things are worse than we thought."

Han Ling raised his hand, stroked his chin in thought, and murmured:

"Hmm? No abnormalities? That shouldn't be the case! I checked the company's complaint email at noon, and I received hundreds of emails in just 12 hours, from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. This means that there are more than one female insect that has changed like Sophis. This is definitely not normal. How were they investigated?"

Roderick was enlightened, and his eyes lit up:

"Yes, those emails you received are evidence; they're definitely not normal!"

Han Ling nodded, then asked疑惑地问道, "By the way, if I remember correctly, they interrogated me once in the early morning, right? The interrogation interval is 16 hours to allow the interrogators rest. So why did they start a second interrogation this morning after the one in the early morning?"

And their story has changed; just this morning, they sent us a message telling us to be extra careful.

Because writing often involves creating and resolving plot holes, Han Ling always manages to discover things that others overlook in the smallest details. These things, if left unresolved, become plot holes; if resolved, they become foreshadowing.

The Third Protective Legion's contradictory actions clearly indicate a problem: they dug a hole but didn't fill it in.

Only a few hours have passed, and things have changed drastically; something is definitely not right.

Roderick was taken aback by what Han Ling said.

Yes, the second interrogation should be conducted tonight!

Now, Roderick has ample evidence to prove that the Third Protection Corps' interrogations were flawed.

Thinking of this, Roderick quickly replied to the people on Emperor Star with a message:

Contact the Third Protective Corps and detain the person in charge of the second interrogation. Check their current status.

Furthermore, who is currently in charge of contacting the Aurora Lifeforms and Silicon-based Lifeforms? Which legions are involved? Have them submit a racial analysis report. Send over all existing information.

It was clearly not an individual who contacted Roderick, but rather an intelligence team, or rather, an intelligence center.

Just a few minutes later, all the information Roderick needed was sent over at once.

Silicon-based life is managed by the Fifth Guardian Legion, headed by the Daolin family patriarch.

The Aurora Life System is managed by the Seventh Construction Legion, headed by the head of the Flor family.

Currently, both silicon-based life and aurora life are located on the capital planet.

Among them, the identity of silicon-based life forms is easy to identify because they are humanoid beings with appearances very similar to ours.

However, the aurora life forms are difficult to identify. According to feedback from the Seventh Construction Legion, we have no way of detecting their location.

There are no better means of technical verification.

Aurora life takes on a very unique form; it is visible to the naked eye in sunlight, but cannot be detected by current technology.

After reading these messages, Roderick's heart sank.

The Zerg contacted many cosmic races, offering them benefits as bait to lure them to their star systems.

When doing these things, the Zerg are arrogant; they believe that nothing can defeat them and that these races pose no threat to them.

But the slap in the face came so quickly.

Now that the Aurora Lifeforms have arrived in the Zerg star system, they have not only failed to be controlled, but have also brought immeasurable mistakes.

The Seventh Construction Legion probably doesn't even know how many Aurora Lifeforms have arrived.

Did Aurora Life send an advance team of 100 people, a research team of 1,000 people, or an expedition of 10,000 people?

The Zerg have no idea.

And they even mentioned observing with the naked eye. Can you really count them clearly with the naked eye under sunlight?

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy. Han Ling placed his hand on Roderick's shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, don't be anxious. If the Zerg's current methods can't detect it, perhaps I can go to the capital planet to take a look. After all, Sophis is also an employee of my company. He's a key member of our senior management."

Furthermore, the affairs of the Zerg are the affairs of the Yao Clan. Your affairs are my affairs. I'll go and see if there's anything I can do to help.

Upon hearing this, Roderick turned and looked at Han Ling seriously:

"Sir, this is too risky! Are you really going?"

If the inspectors of the Third Protective Legion were to be silently subdued by the Aurora Lifeforms within a mere six hours.

That means we currently have absolutely no way to defend against aurora life. I'm afraid that you'll also be contaminated in the short term.

Han Ling possesses extremely high mental strength. This has been common knowledge ever since the Central Ball on Planet Aphrodite.

Roderick knew this, but he really didn't want anything to happen to Han Ling.

Rodrik was conflicted about this. He was willing to give everything for the Zerg, even his life, but he couldn't bear to let Han Ling do the same.

Han Ling smiled and ruffled Roderick's short silver hair, saying:

"I have to go, even if it's impossible, I still want to take a look. How dare the Aurora Lifeforms steal a wife from the Yao Clan? The Yao Clan won't tolerate it."

Moreover, I believe that the Zerg have the strongest physique in the interstellar space.

The only thing that can suppress you silently is spiritual power. So my going there might be the best choice.

And don't forget, I can construct spatial connection passages; not only can I cross them myself, but if you're worried, we can go together.

Seeing the determination in Han Ling's eyes, Roderick pursed his lips and sent a message to the people on Emperor Star:

Please inform the Marshal of the Third Protective Legion that Lord Han Ling will be going to the capital planet to try to help them resolve their current problems.

Additionally, the interrogators from Sophie should be kept in solitary confinement; they may also have issues, so avoid excessive contact with them.

Han Ling couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw the message Roderick sent:

"I've never seen such a tough attitude from you before, actually summoning the marshal to see me directly. This is truly the service of an emperor!"

Roderick blushed slightly and explained:

"This is the intelligence center of Emperor Star. It serves the strongest being. There are some things I need to know, because when things reach their most critical moment, when they are in dire straits, perhaps only I can step in and resolve them."

Calling it a service isn't quite right; we have a mutually beneficial relationship.

I used them to obtain intelligence, and they used me to protect their lives in crucial moments. The Third Protection Legion is the same; Imperial Planet is their backer.

When interests and power are intertwined, no one is inferior to anyone else; everyone simply gets what they need.

Roderick didn't care at all about being called the strongest in the galaxy.

Because the Stag Clan of Emperor Star disregarded life and death from the very beginning of their training, they firmly believed that they would die on the battlefield in the future.

Why would someone who takes life and death lightly care about such empty titles?

Thinking of this, Roderick secretly glanced at Han Ling.

To be honest, ever since he got together with Han Ling, he's been reluctant to die.

He even had the idea of ​​living on, and his will to survive became extremely strong.

Seeing Roderick's gaze, Han Ling slightly tossed his hair and smiled:

"Why are you looking at me? Did you suddenly realize I've become more handsome? Or did you notice I used your shower gel today? My body smells just like yours now, tonight...*&%……%（*）

Han Ling, who always drives a yellow garbage truck, always manages to make Roderick laugh.

The two stood at the doorway, pecking at each other for a while, before Roderick handed over the nutritional supplements he was carrying, saying:

"Sir, this is our dinner. It's grape-flavored, would you like to try some?"

Han Ling waved his hand:

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat either. Save it for us to have for breakfast tomorrow. Now I'll take you to the capital planet for a big meal. There must be restaurants on the capital planet. It's on me."

Upon hearing this, Roderick's eyes lit up slightly, and he patted his head:

"Hey, I hadn't thought of that. If you had coordinates, you could construct a spatial teleportation channel, right?"

Every planet in the Zerg star system has coordinates, and the central point of these coordinates is the capital planet.

Han Ling twirled his fingers, eagerly opened his personal terminal to search, and laughed:

"That makes things even easier. Since it's marked on the StarNet, I'll check it and then I can take you to the capital star."

Han Ling was still a little scared if he went to the capital planet alone. After all, he was a male insect who couldn't lift a finger, and he could be kidnapped at any time. But with Roderick by his side, he felt much more at ease.

The two of them acted immediately.

After finding the coordinates, Han Ling immediately entered the mental plane, extended his mental power, and began to construct a spatial teleportation channel.

While waiting, Roderick also received a reply from Emperor Star.

The Third Protective Legion has arrested Sophis's interrogator and recorder. The two are being held in solitary confinement in an interrogation room.

Sophie and the two individuals have been isolated and no one is allowed to approach them.

The marshal and generals of the Third Protective Legion have prepared their fleet and are ready to proceed to Aphrodite at any time to welcome His Excellency Hanlin.

Roderick glanced at Han Ling, who was constructing a spatial teleportation portal, and then spoke to the people from Emperor Star:

"No need for such trouble. I will accompany Lord Han Ling on his trip to the capital planet. The marshal of the Third Protective Legion can wait for me at headquarters. We will act together from now on."

After saying that, Roderick put away his personal terminal. They had to go on this trip to the capital planet.

However, his decision caused an uproar at the Imperial Star intelligence center, which was located halfway across the star system.

Who is Roderick?

Yes, he is the strongest being in the interstellar space.

But he was also the provider of this batch of triple-blood injection drugs!

If anything happens to Roderick and the blood is broken, all the female insects that were injected with this batch of triple-blood medicine will be affected.

During their communication with the Third Protective Legion, the intelligence center learned that Sophis's sudden personality change might be related to the Aurora Lifeforms.

The collaboration with the Aurora Life is crucial to the future life forms and historical trajectory of the Zerg.

However, the capital planet is the default large-scale testing ground.

This is the future of the Zerg.

After a brief period of calm, Roderick's personal computer was bombarded with messages from Emperor Planet.

The beeping sound kept going on and on.

[Roderick, don't take the risk!]

[The situation on the capital planet is volatile. If you go there and encounter the same fate as Sophis, being "transformed" into an enemy, no female insect can withstand your attack.]

[Stop. Let Han Ling go if he wants; he's just a member of the Yao Clan, an outsider. But you can't. Do you even remember your bloodline?]

[Roderick! Until the Zerg technology can fully recognize Aurora life, you are forbidden from setting foot on the capital planet!]

[The new blood donor, the Second Prince, has been banished to Afro. You are hereby notified that the capital planet has been transformed into a large-scale testing ground. Experiments on racial conversion and assimilation have begun.]

Two weeks ago, the capital starport was sealed off; entry was restricted, and no female insectoid could leave. The reason there's no news about this online is because relevant information has been intercepted by the Seventh Construction Legion's network surveillance.

This trial is our last chance. We have only a hundred years to try; this experiment is our final opportunity.

[Going there would be a gamble. The worst-case scenario is that the experiment fails, and you become an accelerator for the Zerg's annihilation. We cannot afford such a severe consequence.]

Roderick frowned upon seeing the barrage of messages and replied:

"When I left Emperor Star, your mission for me was to welcome the various interstellar races that would cooperate with us. Now that I'm going to welcome them, why are you going back on your word?"

Just a few seconds later, news came again from Emperor Star.

[The plan has changed. The Science City has reopened after a thousand years. We have one more chance to fight to the death, and you are our last weapon. After the Science City appears, you will lead the team into it to secure new biotechnology for us. However, you will no longer participate in this Capital Star experiment.]
