"Ding-dong—"

A news pop-up appeared, accompanied by a red flame and a red "Explosive" sign.

Subtitle: "Live from the Front Lines"

Xia Shizhao, who was originally going to take a shower, hesitated after seeing the message. He then sat back on the bed, opened the message to watch the live stream, and was immediately stunned.

On the floating screen, I saw someone I hadn't seen in a long time. Her voice was clear, her speech was calm, and her eyes were full of confidence. "Hello everyone, I am Mu Qinwan, a reporter from Xinglian Agency. Most of the residents of Sector C have been safely evacuated. Behind me are the warriors who are protecting the people. They are resisting the invading Zerg. Here is the live broadcast."

Xia Shizhao looked at Mu Qinwan with surprise, who was quite different from before. She calmly dodged the falling insectoid corpses below, and kept analyzing for everyone. Her breathing was steady. "Most of the insectoids in this invasion are low-level insectoids. Their attack power is not strong, but their presence is very low. They can change size at will. They usually act as suicide squads to destroy the defensive barriers of various planets. Everyone does not need to panic too much."

The camera is very stable, allowing a clear view of the situation in area C. Most of the Zerg are on the ground, while many others have wings and are in the air, spewing flames in all directions. These are mid-tier Zerg, possessing some intelligence, but not much.

Each mid-tier Zerg was surrounded by dozens of mechs.

The most eye-catching thing was the silver-white mech, which moved as fast as a streak of light across the sky. Its matte black longsword was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping lives and knocking down one ferocious and terrifying mid-level insectoid after another.

A hint of doubt flashed in Ye Qiuling's eyes as she piloted the mecha. Where were the advanced Zerg? Was there no advanced Zerg commander this time?

Why is the highest level in this operation only mid-level?

Something was wrong, but unable to find the source, Ye Qiuling suppressed her doubts and increased her output, slicing off one Zerg soldier after another like slicing a watermelon.

The moment the defensive barrier was repaired, Ye Qiuling had also killed all the mid-level insectoids, and the mecha, which shone brightly in the moonlight, landed steadily.

She jumped out of the mecha, and the live broadcast camera pointed directly at Ye Qiuling. Mu Qinwan spoke respectfully, stood at attention, and saluted Ye Qiuling, "General Ye."

Retracting the mecha, Ye Qiuling glanced at the mini camera on her chest. "Live streaming?"

"Yes."

Ye Qiuling nodded to indicate that she understood, then calmly looked at her subordinates with her arms crossed.

Low-tier Zerg are easy to fight for veterans who have been in combat for a long time, but the problem is that now they have to train their future comrades, and they can only stand aside and assist.

"General, someone asked why we don't use mechs." Mu Qinwan's voice was indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant.

Logically, she should respect Ye Qiuling, but she inexplicably disliked her and would usually avoid her.

Unfortunately, this is work, so I can't let my emotions get in the way; I have to strike up a conversation.

“Low-level Zerg don’t need to use mechs. The physical qualities of the selected alphas are far superior to those of ordinary alphas. With the photon shield in place, the low-level Zerg simply cannot break through it. However…” Ye Qiuling paused for a moment, then instantly left the camera and caught a student who was flying away while emitting light in a few quick movements.

Mu Qinwan quietly added, "But be careful not to get knocked away, because the photon shield is very elastic. If you don't catch that kid, he can keep bouncing and probably bounce out of Zone C."

On the other side, Ye Qiuling looked down at the student in her arms, "Who taught you?"

"Lieutenant Wen Xiu."

The student, a tall man standing at 1.8 meters, lay shyly in Ye Qiuling's arms.

Wen Xiu, who was in the center of the battlefield, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and glanced to the side.

Oh wow, there's another student here.

"Are you alright?"

"without."

Then they looked at each other for a long time without any reaction. Ye Qiuling tilted her head in confusion, "Aren't you going to get down? Do you want me to throw you down?"

The young man, who was lost in the bliss of being hugged by his idol, finally came to his senses, his face turning red. "Ah, I'm sorry, General, I'll get down right away."

"You should go back to the safe zone first."

After speaking, Ye Qiuling tapped the earpiece hanging on her ear bone, "Blood Rose, listen to my command, have the students return to the safe zone and begin eliminating the Zerg."

The soldiers under his command received the news and quickly abandoned the students who were holding them back. They started working with great excitement, like hungry wolves hunting their prey.

The Zerg corpses, covered in slime, flew about, creating a particularly gruesome scene.

Ye Qiuling took a step back in disgust, picked up the quantum gun, and shot each enemy in the head instantly.

Quantum guns are terrifyingly powerful, but they need to be combined with mental power to unleash power beyond the weapon itself. Normally, they can only harm low-level Zerg, not cause them to explode. After all, there aren't many in the entire interstellar space with mental power as abnormal as Ye Qiuling's.

Xia Shizhao stared wide-eyed in shock after watching the entire battle; it was too monstrous.

Ye Qiuling is too monstrous!!!

Waaah, I can't afford to offend her, so I can only hide. I'll have to be more careful next time I go to the auction. If I get caught, I'm doomed. Ye Qiuling is so petty.

"Am I going to suffer another painful ordeal?" Xia Shizhao screamed, his face contorted in pain.

Thinking about how he had tricked Ye Qiuling twice today, Xia Shizhao was on the verge of tears and regretted it so much that he pounded the wall.

Xia Shizhao's frantic behavior, including screaming and pounding on the wall, was witnessed by Youyou, who, unaware of the situation, simply thought he had gone mad.

At this moment, Mu Qinwan reappeared on the big screen. "The blood of the Zerg is corrosive, has a foul and poisonous smell, and is temporarily uninhabitable in Area C. Residents of Area C, please wait patiently for a week before returning. That concludes the notification. Have a nice day, goodbye."

He coldly shut down the live stream, ignoring the desperate pleas of the viewers who were drooling over the screen.

Xia Shizhao laughed. She had thought Mu Qinwan would become a star, after all, she had said, "I will definitely shine in front of the camera." And indeed, she did become a reporter and was dazzling.

Even though they don't remember him, Xia Shizhao is really happy to see his former friends shining brightly in their own fields. His joy outweighs his disappointment, and he feels genuinely proud.
