Chapter 158 I am a monster

The Blue Wolf Planet was so barren and desolate because of a starburst. The people on Blue Wolf Planet were no strangers to the term "starburst."

But Jiang He changed the subject too quickly. Before everyone could react to the sudden outburst, she was already talking about something else.

"The Federation's evacuation ships won't enter Blue Wolf Star. If they learn there's a Zerg King in the Zerg Hive, they'll simply try to destroy Blue Wolf Star before the Zerg do." Jiang He glanced at the people seated. "The Federation won't seek peace with the Zerg either..."

The man next to Teng Yinghui, wearing the expeditionary uniform, was Zhou Zhen, the commander of the expeditionary force stationed on Blue Wolf Star. He led more than 2,000 expeditionary troops and originally planned to launch a surprise attack on the Zerg, but he did not expect to encounter the Zerg in the Blue Wolf Galaxy.

Zhou Zhen frowned and interrupted Jiang He, "Impossible! The Federation wouldn't ignore the lives of so many people on Blue Wolf Star. The Federation sent you royals here to help us defeat the Zerg. How can you, a member of the royal family, speak like that?"

As soon as he said this, Teng Yinghui, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt awkward. He quickly reached out to poke Zhou Zhen and whispered to him, "She's not the royal child I picked up from Rose Star. She and her brother hijacked the Black Dragon Ship."

Zhou Zhen frowned even more, stood up and tried to draw his gun, "Then she is a hijacker, you..."

Teng Yinghui was startled and quickly stood up to hold Zhou Zhen's gun. "She's the general's granddaughter. Other royal family members won't work. Only her mental strength can withstand the Zerg's roar."

Emperor Shengwu was born into a military family and spent almost his entire life in battle. He even died in the Red Stone Galaxy, together with the expeditionary soldiers.

Although the royal family named her the Holy Martial Emperor, the soldiers in the expeditionary force always called her the Great General.

The three words "General" are unique to her.

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang He's eyebrows and eyes, "How is it possible? The general is so young, unmarried, and has no children..."

Ji Xuyao: "My father is an illegitimate child. In order not to affect the reputation of the general, the royal family has never told the public. My brother and I have also been restricted and cannot participate in royal activities."

Lan Xianghe's father, Lan Cheng'en, slapped his thigh and said in sudden realization, "No wonder I thought the girl looked so familiar along the way. It turns out she's a descendant of a great general. There's a portrait of your grandmother in my father's living room. You look exactly like her."

Lan Xiang and Mo Mo shifted their gazes. He found that Jiang He's expression was really calm.

If he was the real general, he would have shouted it out to the world, but the other party was able to endure humiliation and be a granddaughter.

Jiang He didn't have time to continue chatting with them. Seeing that everyone had confirmed her identity, she asked again, "Where is the most Jun stone?"

Junshi is rare. Eighty percent of the Junshi purchased by various planets now comes from A62. However, a few days ago, A62 closed the corridor due to the escape of prisoners, and the Federal Junshi Hall stopped the Junshi transaction, causing many planets to wail due to the lack of Junshi recently.

The amount of Junshi purchased by each planet is specific, and all the money is used to build the planet after purchase, so there are not many wealthy people.

If you really want to find a large amount of Junshi, you can only try your luck on Yushou Star near A62 Star. Although Yushou Star has no mines itself, it has been producing Junshi. Over the past few hundred years, Yushou Star has leaped from a barren planet to a representative of super-technological planets.

But not everyone can go to Yushou Star if they want to.

Lan Xianghe's uncle Lan Zhisheng is responsible for the external image and communication of Blue Wolf Star. He often travels to various planets and knows the most about Yushou Star.

The ultra-technological system on Yushou Star is implemented in every corner of the planet. Robot dogs are responsible for the security of Yushou Star. There are two types of people who go to Yushou Star. One is for tourism, to experience the ultra-technological charm of this planet. The other is for Junshi.

There are many people who want to go to Yushou Star to steal the Jun Stone, but no one has succeeded so far.

Lan Zhisheng said to Jiang He, "If we really want to go, we need to organize a team and find a large carrier ship that can carry the Jun stone. I heard that the Jun stone is poisonous, so we also need to buy some anti-toxic clothing..."

Teng Yinghui immediately said, "If we remove the heavy weapons on the Black Dragon ship, we might be able to pull out some Jun stones."

Zhou Zhen stared at him speechlessly. The Black Dragon was a military ship. How could it do something that only pirates would do?

But today, the casualties of the more than 2,000 expeditionary forces on Blue Wolf Star were extremely small. The main reason was that Jiang He appeared in time and drove the Zerg to Tianlang Mountain. The other party was the descendant of the great general. His words of rebuttal were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

"No need." Jiang He said, "I don't need any people or transport ships. I'll go alone."

She asked Lan Zhisheng, "Do you have a fast ship?"

"We have them," Zhou Zhen said. "There are only a few of them, which we plan to use for sneak attacks against the Zerg. They're equipped with stealth systems, but they can be detected by the Federation system, and they can only seat two people."

"Take me to see it."

Changing the system's stealth was like playing house to Jiang He, and her calm and composed attitude infected everyone.

Lan Xianghe asked quietly, "If we give the Jun Stone to the Zerg, will they retreat?"

"No." Jiang He answered frankly, "The Jun Stone is not for them. I need it."

She didn't continue to explain, but everyone immediately imagined that Jiang He was using these Jun stones to deal with the Zerg.

After all, your grandmother is a general, she must have a way to deal with the Zerg.

Everyone's confidence suddenly increased, and they were worried about how Jiang He would get the Jun Stone by himself and how to bring the Jun Stone back.

Jiang He had only one answer for this. "I have a solution. Just wait patiently. Before I come back, it's best not to tell anyone about the Zerg Queen's presence on Blue Wolf Star."

When she said this, she glanced at Zhou Zhen intently.

Zhou Zhen quickly said, "I won't tell anyone."

Jiang He briefly studied the speeder ship's stealth system, changed a few codes, and was about to close the ship's door when a hand rested on it, "I'll go with you."

It’s the Insect King, Gale.

Jiang He glanced at her and said, "Okay."

With her by my side, I don't have to worry about her finding ways to cause trouble during this period.

After the Insect Emperor boarded the ship, he glanced around and asked Jiang He, "Humph, you'd better not play tricks."

Jiang He: "Don't roll your eyes or hum when you speak."

Insect King: ...

The Yushou Star is in the second star system, far away from the eleventh star system. Fortunately, this fast ship is very fast. After her transformation, she can be invisible within the radar range of major planets in the Federation.

The journey was long, and the Insect King would not remain silent forever. "Aren't you afraid that I might take the opportunity to destroy the human capital planet?"

Jiang He: "You try it."

The Insect Queen knew the popular internet slang "Try it and you'll die." She was about to snort, but then she swallowed it back when she remembered Jiang He's warning. "With so many Jun stones, how are you going to find them and take them away?"

Jiang He: "I have a solution."

"You'd better have a solution. If anything happens to my uncle, I will wipe out humanity."

Jiang He ignored her threat, "When will the starburst arrive?"

"How did you know?" The Zerg King was a little surprised, but thinking of the starburst that was about to wipe out the Zerg, he became extremely depressed. "About a month."

There have been several starbursts in human history. There were no signs and the cause of the starbursts was unknown. We only know that when a starburst occurs, the vegetation on the planet will wither overnight. Whether it is human or animal, they will turn into monsters full of blood vessels within three days, and then explode. Blood and flesh will spill onto the earth, dyeing the earth blood red, and the soil will become desertified.

There will be no living things on the planet after a starburst, and it will take decades before it can be habitable. The planet after a starburst is extremely barren, and it is difficult for crops to grow in the sand, and high-rise buildings cannot be built on the sand.

Once a planet experiences a starburst, it is basically destroyed.

Even with advanced technology, starbursts are still difficult to predict. Zerg are better than humans at predicting starbursts.

Jiang He asked her, "Among the 27 Zerg planets, which one will experience a starburst?"

Ji Feng and Hong Yu were both very nervous. Jiang He guessed that the planet with the starburst was the Zerg's royal planet.

"All of them." The Insect King lowered his head and picked at his fingernails. "Two planets have already experienced starbursts. Although the time of starbursts on the other 25 planets will be different, they will all continue to do so one after another."

“Is the prediction accurate?”

"Of course it's accurate. We are advanced insects, not ignorant and foolish humans like you. You still can't even come up with a starburst prediction system."

Jiang He: "If you are so powerful, why can't you solve the problem of the beast star storm?"

"Starbursts are the replacement of old planets with new ones, just like your human metabolism. No one can solve it," the Insect King argued. "Don't you humans have a solution either?"

Jiang He thought it was interesting that she used metabolism to describe a starburst. In fact, to put it simply, a starburst is more like the rebirth of a dead planet.

"What are your plans now?" Jiang He asked her. "It's a good idea to exterminate humanity and find a habitat for your people, but it's not easy to exterminate humanity. Otherwise, your ancestors would have wiped out humanity long ago."

“Heh, you…”

Before the Insect Queen could finish her words, Jiang He interrupted her, "Speak properly, don't hum."

Insect King: ...How can you scold me like this, I am the Insect King!

Although she was not convinced and her chest hurt with anger, she inexplicably did not refute.

"At least it's better than being destroyed by a starburst." The Insect King said, "We have no way out."

Jiang He raised his eyes and looked at the brightest and most brilliant planet in the Tri-Star System. "We are about to enter the Yushou Star. Can you drive a human ship?"

The Insect King felt that Jiang He underestimated him. "Of course I can. Even if I can't, I've learned a lot along the way."

"Okay then." Jiang He successfully landed on the Starport of Yushou Star in her swift ship. She said to Ji Feng, "You wait here for me to come back."

The Insect King stared at her in disbelief. "What if you run away? What if you collude with those people? What if you die... No, I want to follow you."

Jiang He reached out and touched the top of her head, "Be obedient and wait for me to come back."

Her action was a little abrupt, but she did it very naturally and intimately, as if she had done it countless times before. The Insect King was stunned.

Even her uncle had never done such an intimate act to her.

When the Insect King came back to his senses, he was shocked to realize that he had already agreed to Jiang He and watched Jiang He leave.

I reached out and touched my head. There was nothing special about it. I didn't feel dizzy after touching it. What happened just now?

Jiang He left Star Port under the cover of night.

At this moment, the dedicated communicator between her and Ji Feng rang.

"Xiao He." Yu Shaoze's voice came over the communication. "Even if you empty all the Jun stones on Yushou Star, it still won't be enough to meet the number that the Insect Emperor mentioned. Moreover, Yushou Star's defense level is stronger than that of the Capital Star. You can't just break in if you want to. Don't waste your energy."

Jiang He didn't expect to hear his voice. She was silent for a moment and said softly, "Li En, thank you for everything in the past."

It was Li En who kept her body alive. Without this body, she would never be able to wake up again.

The resettlement of the expeditionary forces including Lan Hu and Yao Leng was also arranged by Li En. He saved the lives of those soldiers and allowed them to live like ordinary people.

No matter what Li En's purpose was, for her, it was a major event that saved countless lives.

Yu Shaoze in the communication was breathing heavily, "You, you..."

She recovered her memory? How could that be possible? He had clearly erased all her memories.

How did she recognize him?

Over the years, he has changed his identity, and no one has ever linked Yu Shaoze and Li En together. How did she know?

Jiang He continued, "Thank you for wanting to give me a place of refuge, Li En. You are the benefactor of all of us..."

"You said you would marry me." Li En interrupted Jiang He. His tone was urgent, as if he had anticipated what Jiang He was going to say next, like a trapped beast struggling to survive. "Xiao He, you said you would marry me when you came back. I'm already preparing for the wedding. I've been waiting for you to come back. I know I'm weak and can't accompany you to the battlefield, but I can give you a happy home. I, I love you very much. Xiao He, please don't abandon me again, okay?"

"Li En, I'm sorry." Jiang He said softly, "I no longer have the ability to love. I can no longer empathize. I don't want to have a family, and I don't want to interact with people. You don't know, I'm actually a monster."

She hung up the phone, and dense tentacles appeared, spreading across the sky in the darkness, searching for the scent of Junshi.

She was the first to discover Jun ore and was also the first to refine it for use in various equipment.

No one in this world knows Jun Mine better than her.

After the tentacles detected the scent of the Jun Mine, Jiang He quickly ran towards the location of the Jun Mine. Suddenly, a huge alarm sounded on the streets of Yushou Star, and countless mechanical dogs appeared from all directions. Some of them flew in the sky, trying to intercept those pitch-black tentacles.
