Chapter 203: Vibrant
"Where did you come from so late at night?"
The two night patrolmen from the town stopped Anno and Karina. It was two in the morning, and at this hour, there were usually no unfamiliar faces coming to the island.
Karina said to them, "My sister and I came out to see whales, but our small boat drifted too far away, so we had to find a place to land temporarily."
There are many whales in the Lekki Inner Sea. The security personnel saw that the two girls were young, and children of this age tend to be impulsive and rebellious, so they let them pass and took them to a hotel in town.
While checking into a hotel required identity verification, Karina wasn't worried at all. When she arrived, she used her personal terminal to create two fake identities.
Ninety years ago, the Skynet system was unable to detect their false identities.
Karina even cracked a currency loophole, allowing her to make payments online directly using her personal computer.
With her there, Anuo didn't need to worry about anything at all.
After checking into the hotel, the two could finally get a good rest.
Karina booked the best room. After entering the room, Anno took a shower first. When she came out, Karina had already asked the waiter to bring up the food.
"Xiaoqi, you eat first, I'm going to take a shower."
Karina turned on the hairdryer and let it blow-dry Anno's hair. She then took a bathrobe and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Anno sat down at the table. The hotel's food consisted mainly of seafood, with some land-based dishes as well, but not much.
She had eaten seafood with her adoptive parents on Panama Island for a few days, and it tasted quite good.
She had only been eating for a short while when Caesar and the others' consciousnesses began calling to her intermittently within the consciousness network.
Sensing the consciousness of his family members, Anno immediately responded.
The fact that their consciousnesses could connect indicates that Caesar and the others were in the same space-time as her.
Karina quickly finished washing up and came out. As soon as she came out, she saw Anno's light band flickering and the antennae on his forehead emitting a soft glow.
She is contacting the Zerg.
She sat down next to Anuo and said to her, "Xiao Qi, during our time here, it's best not to contact anyone you know well, as this will cause time disturbances. The Zerg Queen must be looking for us right now. If she has a way to open space, she needs to locate us. If we cause disturbances, it will be difficult to locate us."
Anno understood what Karina was saying and told her, "It's Caesar and the others; they're nearby."
When Karina heard it was them, she lowered her eyes, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in them.
It's them, those annoying Zerg foes.
Anno was engrossed in eating when she felt Karina's gaze and turned to look at her: "Second sister, why aren't you eating?"
Karina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, saying, "I was thinking about how you looked when you were only three years old, drinking from a bottle, and now you can eat by yourself."
Anno: "...I was eating by myself when I was three years old."
Karina smiled. She had just suddenly remembered the times she spent with Xiao Qi. Now that Xiao Qi had suddenly grown up, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Looking back on the past twenty years, most of it has been about Xiao Qi. She has a good memory and remembers most of the things that happened when she was two years old. However, the scenes only become vivid and lively when she is with Xiao Qi.
After dinner, Anno and Karina sat on the balcony enjoying the night breeze.
A sofa was placed on the balcony, and Anno leaned against Karina's chest, looking at the bright night sky above and the shimmering Milky Way.
They all had to settle down here temporarily before their mother activated the time-space portal to find them.
This also gives her a chance to rest for a while.
There was no gunfire, no war, and everything was temporarily out of her reach.
Anno smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from Karina and looked up at her.
Karina looked down at her and suddenly said, "Little Seven, do you want to see your mother?"
Anno knew that Karina was referring to Logan's mother.
Based on the timeline, Lockhart is only eighteen years old now.
She hesitated and said, "I do want to, but didn't you say that I shouldn't contact people I know well?"
Karina said, "It's best to avoid contact with your mother. If you want to talk to her, you can, but we can just pretend."
Anno nodded: "Then let's go see Mom."
Karina stroked her hair and said, "We'll go tomorrow. At this time, Mother should still be attending the Amber State Superpower Academy."
"Um."
Anno grabbed Karina's long, loose hair and asked her, "Second sister, after the war between the Zerg and the North River ends, where...where will you go?"
This was a question she had always wanted to ask. Now that Tao Tao Le and the others had become corrupted beings, only by transforming them into insectoids could they regain their consciousness.
The Beihe Galaxy will eventually be taken over by the Zerg and Tianyun Minghe, but the Zerg will most likely not stay in the Tianhe Galaxy because the environment is not suitable for them. It will take time to transform the environment to suit them. Their Zerg Galaxy is large enough. Mother's idea is to take only partial management rights and let Tianyun Yaori take over the rest.
Her second sister and mother, Lockin, are the only two she knows who haven't become Fallen. There's still no news about her eldest brother, Hicks, and she doesn't know if he's become Fallen.
Subconsciously, she didn't want to convert them unless they became degenerate, leaving her no choice but to convert them.
Because the Zerg's social model is based on absolute loyalty to the Overlord, she doesn't want the kind of genetic loyalty that her second sister possesses.
Perhaps, my second sister also didn't want to become a member of the Zerg.
She had just thought that when she heard Karina say, "Don't you want to mark me?"
Anuo stared at her, somewhat stunned, after hearing this.
She turned off the shapeshifter, her ruby eyes remaining as calm as ever, just as her emotions were always steady, giving people a sense of security.
Karina gently stroked her long hair and said again, "You don't want to mark me, you don't want to transform me?"
Anuo opened her mouth, wondering how to answer her, when a spatial portal opened in front of her.
She immediately sat up straight and watched as Caesar Bazeir and the others emerged one by one from the portal, almost filling the balcony.
"Your Highness!"
Caesar took a step forward, wanting to embrace Anno, but then stopped himself, remembering their identities.
Anno glanced at them and saw that, apart from Cyrus and Obsidian White Flame, the other five members of the familiar were all present.
"Your Highness, are you injured?"
Caesar looked at Anno with concern and stretched out his hand towards her. Bazel glanced at him and stood quietly beside Anno.
Anno patted Caesar's hand lightly and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I have an energy stone on me, so I won't get hurt."
Karina looked at the group of family members with indifferent eyes, then lay lazily on the sofa and said to them, "Go and get your own rooms. Don't all crowd here with me and Xiaoqi. We're going to sleep."
The five familiars looked at Karina. When Caesar saw her, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
Mingxiao stepped forward and said, "No! We are His Highness's family members, and we should stay with His Highness!"
Tanvel smiled and said, "Mingxiao is right, we should stay with His Highness."
Karina's lips curled up. "Alright, then you go get a room and let your little prince stay with you. This room is mine."
Caesar assigned the task of booking rooms to Mingxiao, who quickly went to the front desk on the first floor and booked five rooms. Like Karina, he could also forge an identity.
As the Zerg's most powerful network engineer, forging a few fake identities is a piece of cake for him.
They knew that all they could do now was wait for the Queen to activate her spacetime location and find them. So they proactively blocked their own consciousness network and avoided connecting with the Zerg in this spacetime. Only a few of them communicated with His Highness in a small group chat.
After booking the room, Mingxiao returned to Anuo's side in high spirits, thinking that she could sleep with her tonight.
As a result, Anno sent them all back to their respective rooms, while she stayed with Karina.
Caesar and the others stared coldly at the tightly closed door in front of them.
Tanville and Bai Yan both glanced at Caesar in unison, never expecting that he would be useless at times.
Tanvel approached Caesar and smiled, "It seems that Your Highness prefers her second sister."
