Georgia knew that he had returned to that pitch-black space, surrounded by the power of his parents, but he could not open his eyes or concentrate his consciousness. He seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of mist. He could vaguely hear and sense what was happening outside, but it was so hazy that he could not distinguish anything.
"Baby, wake up."
My mother's voice rang in my ears, so clear that it seemed as if she was right beside me.
"Hold on, baby."
"Qiao Qiao, soon..."
The familiar wood magic suddenly became stronger. For the first time in such a long time, he heard his father's voice in his dream. His drowsy consciousness struggled to wake up, but the magic pool and the heavy feeling in his brain pressed down on him, preventing him from breaking free.
As if sensing his predicament, wood magic suddenly drilled into his brows. His eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes a little, vaguely catching a glimpse of the intricately patterned hem of his father's white elf robe. Then his brows warmed and darkness came again.
In the early hours of the morning, Chu Rong noticed that the person in his arms suddenly began to heat up and struggle, and was instantly awakened from his light sleep. He looked down and saw Georgia mumbling something with a red face. His heart tightened, and he quickly pressed the call bell to call Zhuang Yu over. Then he sat up and held the person in his arms, releasing his mental power to comfort him as much as possible.
Zhuang Yu came over quickly, but still found nothing after a simple check. He could only give Georgia some simple fever-reducing treatment and said helplessly, "Qiao can only rely on himself to make it. In addition, when high-level psychics upgrade their power, they will frequently release, overdraw, and then absorb it. Qiao's power is different from ours, but he should also have this process, so you'd better make sure there is enough power around him for him to absorb. Also, Qiao's previous simulated mental power level was SS, so this time his upgrade is likely to be SSS. As you know, the release of SSS-level mental power is very powerful. We need to isolate Qiao as soon as possible, just like when your mental power was violent."
Chu Rong frowned upon hearing this, and looked down at Georgia, whose face looked a little better after she put on the fever-reducing patch in his arms. He tightened his arms, thought for a while, and asked, "How many days will it take to reach the main star?"
"The flagship has already left the Empire. If we use the special channel, it will arrive in three days at most." Zhuang Yu replied. Then he thought of something and asked, "Sir, the Empire..."
"The news from the battlefield has been blocked. We'll talk about everything after we get back to the main planet." Chu Rong put Georgia, who had calmed down in his arms, on the bed and settled her down. He frowned and replied, "After the flagship arrives near the main planet, don't land for the time being. Wait until Georgia's condition stabilizes before going down."
Georgia has special power. If the power released during the upgrade makes too much noise, it may attract the attention of those who are interested. To be on the safe side, it is better for her to stay on the flagship, which is hidden and safe.
Zhuang Yu also felt that this was a better approach. Georgia's current condition was not suitable for moving, so he nodded and said yes, looked worriedly into Chu Rong's arms, and left with light steps.
After the door was closed, Chu Rong gently put Georgia back on the bed, touched his face which had cooled down, and after making sure that he was sleeping soundly, he stood up quietly, walked to the side, covered himself with the soundproof protective shield, took out the communicator and dialed Chu Huai's number.
Three days later, the flagships of the Xiang, Wei and Chu families arrived above the main star. The flagships of the Xiang and Wei families went down first, while the flagship of the Chu family deliberately lagged behind them at a distance.
Chu Huai, Xiang Lingzhi, Wei Xiongchang and others who received the news in advance were waiting at the port early. They also brought the media to do a live broadcast, preparing to welcome the triumphant soldiers and tell the people the news of the victory of the war.
After the Allied Forces went to the Empire, there was a sudden loss of news. All the major families had guessed what was going on, but it was not easy to tell the public about this high-level struggle, so as not to cause greater panic. So everyone tacitly agreed to not talk much about the war, using the perfunctory excuse of "the battlefield situation is not good, so report it in real time to avoid affecting the morale of the troops at the front" and only diverted people's attention by guiding them to pray for victory in the war.
Among the four major families, the Xiang and Wei families thought that this battle would be a long and time-consuming war like more than ten years ago, or a one-sided and brutal war. However, they did not expect that after the battlefield news was closed for about a day, completely unexpected news came from the front.
The Insect Queen was captured alive! Chu Rong showed up in the Chu family's flagship! The conspiracy that they knew was a secret but had to take the initiative to meet was broken by Chu Rong who suddenly appeared, and Chu Rong also captured Ning Tianya, Long Ruifeng and the others!
The Empire hasn’t dared to say a word so far. I heard that the new king of the Empire was beaten and ran away!
The Xiang and Wei families felt very complicated, with a sense of unexpected enlightenment that "this is actually possible" and "it is indeed like this".
The passive situation that had been going on since Chu Rong's disappearance and the appearance of the Zerg was instantly reversed. The Xiang and Wei families knew that this time the Chu family had won again, and had won badly. The Ning family and Long Ruifeng were completely finished, and there was no possibility for the two families to suppress the Chu family again.
So after the news of the victory in today's live battle began, they consciously put Chu Huairang in the first place.
The big families have already made up their minds and are ready to face the outcome, but the people of the Federation are still confused.
They were startled when they found out that the federal government had suddenly launched a mandatory live broadcast on the entire star network, and they all guessed the worst - it was less than ten days since the coalition army set out, and apart from the time for the round trip, the army would only stay on the battlefield for two days at most, and that was at most!
That's the Insect Mother! The Chu family almost wiped out the Insect Mother more than ten years ago! Now the army has returned so quickly, and they have even started a live broadcast. In the live broadcast, Chu Huai's face is still so terrible, and Minister Xiang and Lieutenant General Wei also look depressed. This situation is not right no matter how you look at it!
Did the whole army get wiped out? Did they get killed by the worm queen as soon as they arrived? The president’s brother Long Ruizhang and son Long Xuyang did not appear in the live broadcast. Did the president also die?
No, no way, without Marshal Chu, is the war between humans and Zerg doomed to fail? There is no news from the Empire now, is it possible that...
The more people imagined it, the more scared they became. Just when the atmosphere was about to explode with anxiety, three flagships suddenly appeared above the live broadcast screen. Chu Huai and others who had been waiting quietly immediately looked up, and the official live broadcast equipment immediately turned over.
Then the people who couldn't see the color of the warship for the time being turned pale with fear.
When the allied forces set out, the flagships of the Ning, Wei, and Xiang families, plus the warships of the Chu and He families, set sail together. Now, only the flagships are left on the return voyage, and no warships are seen, so it is indeed...
But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.
"No! Although there are three flagships, why is one of them black? Isn't it only the Chu family's flagship that is black?"
"But hasn't the Chu family's flagship been broken for more than ten years?"
"Wait, where is the Ning family's flagship?"
Similar words were heard in different corners of the star network. The people were stunned and their eyes all passed over the white flagship of the Xiang family and the dark blue flagship of the Wei family in front of them and looked towards the black flagship that was blocked in the back.
This sight caused everyone to get agitated.
It was actually black! There was only one black flagship in the entire Federation, and that was it, that was it... Everyone held their breath, with a secret light of expectation in their eyes.
After reaching the specified height, the flagships of Xiang and Wei landed in order. The shape of the black flagship was finally completely revealed, and the exclamations of the people rose from every corner of the star network.
It's the Chu family's emblem! There's the Chu family's emblem on that black flagship! It's really the Chu family's flagship!
It was clear that when the army set sail, there was no Chu family flagship in the joint forces. It was clear that the Chu family's flagship had been damaged in the war more than ten years ago. It was clear that the Chu family's army this time was led by Yuan Lie, and they were also driving a warship, so there was definitely no flagship!
Could it be, could it be…
Excitement surged in their hearts, and a secret hope was about to burst out of their chests. The people watched the slowly descending black flagship with tears in their eyes, hoping together that a miracle would happen.
Cheers were brewing and about to burst out of their throats, as long as the person they expected could get off the flagship, as long as that person could come back from the black hole with the dawn of victory, as long as -
The black flagship suddenly stopped after descending to the specified height, and then Chu Rong's voice resounded throughout the military port: "The Zerg Queen and the traitor have been captured alive. Regarding the conspiracy of the Empire and the traitors Long Ruifeng, Ning Tianya and others to kill the federal soldiers, I, on behalf of the Chu family, declare that from today on, the Chu family and the Empire are irreconcilable, and the crime of creating fake Zerg is unforgivable!"
The Star Network and the military port all fell silent. After more than ten seconds, the first suppressed scream suddenly sounded. Then, like a spark falling into an oil pan, cheers and screams rang out. Countless people were forced to go offline by the Star Network because they were too excited. Then, everyone screamed and screamed, and couldn't help crying.
It’s Chu Rong!
It’s really Chu Rong!
Their hero is back! Really back! They don't have to worry anymore! The god of war who is always reliable and always protects them and the Federation has returned from the black hole!
"Thank you soldiers for your service in this battle. You are heroes of the Federation."
Chu Rong suppressed his anxiety and finished speaking, then quickly hung up the call and handed the rest of the matter to Fan Xiangnan and others. He turned around and walked out while anxiously asking, "How is Qiao?"
"We have just absorbed the power of the second batch of jadeite, and are about to start a new round of power release." Zhuang Yu frowned and followed behind him, saying quickly: "The high fever has not subsided, and it must be forced to reduce the fever. But now no one can enter the isolation room. The completely unfamiliar power in there is too strong."
Before making the last space jump, Georgia really began to release and absorb power repeatedly. Fortunately, Chu Rong took out enough jade reserves, otherwise, with Georgia's current crazy absorption, the situation would have been out of control long ago.
Chu Rong originally had no intention of showing up at the military port. He wanted to park his flagship outside the headquarters and guard Georgia well, but Chu Huai, Fan Xiangnan and others kept persuading him to show up and inform the people of the basic situation in person to prevent public opinion from spreading and causing instability among the people.
Finally, Chu Rong took into consideration that Chu Huai was very tired of supporting the Chu family alone for so long, and that the federal situation could not withstand another turmoil, so he finally compromised and agreed to stop at the port for a while. However, he did not expect that Georgia's power would become unstable again just after the flagship landed.
Chu Rong's expression became more serious after hearing this. He quickened his pace again and ordered, "Take the flagship into the air and drive it to a place outside the protection range of the main star where no one can detect it! Except for our own people, ignore all communications from others! No one else is allowed to board the ship!"
"Yes!" Zhuang Yu responded quickly. He took out the communicator to inform Fan Xiangnan, and looked at his back as he walked away with worries in his heart.
After hearing Chu Rong's words, the people became more excited and shouted in their hearts: No! You are the hero! You are the most powerful hero in the Federation!
However, before they could finish their shouting and build up a warm cheer to welcome the returning heroes, the domineering black flagship suddenly lit up its navigation lights again, took off into the sky and disappeared from the live broadcast screen.
The people's cheers were choked back in their throats and their eyes widened.
What's going on? Why is the flagship in the air again? Isn't it going to land?
They stared at the sky, hoping that they were seeing things, guessing that the flagship would come down again. But one minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed... The flagships of the Xiang and Wei families opened their hatches, and the soldiers came out. Chu Huai and others came forward to greet them, the interview began, and the official announcement of victory in the war began to be issued... The live broadcast was about to end, but there was still no sign of the black flagship in the sky.
The people at the military port acted as if it was normal for the black flagship not to land, and they followed the procedure to complete the live broadcast announcing the victory of the war, and then ended the live broadcast on time.
The people were stunned, staring at the star network in mid-air that had lost its live broadcast screen. Their hearts were filled with confusion, and all kinds of speculations popped up in their minds.
Marshal Chu really didn't land? Why? Was he not going back to the Federation? Was he going to dock at another port? But that wasn't right. The military port was so big that it could hold ten flagships. There was no need to go to another port. Besides, the military port was obviously safer and closer to home.
Wait, home?
The people recalled Chu Huai's unhappy expression during the live broadcast, and his haggard face that obviously showed that he had not rested for a long time. They were shocked and suddenly became worried. The haggard elder brother was waiting below, but Marshal Chu still chose not to land. Did Marshal Chu have an accident? In fact, Marshal Chu was seriously injured and could not show up, so he only made a sound?
Or did Georgia, who was with Marshal Chu, have an accident? The two of them were sucked into the black hole together, but only Chu Rong's voice appeared just now.
After the speculation, some people's eyes moved to the words that Chu Rong said, and they were shocked again after realizing it belatedly - traitor? Ning Tianya and Long Ruifeng? What's going on? There was also the conspiracy of the empire and the crime of creating the Zerg. Each of these words contained an explosion of information, but why was it so confusing when combined together? Wasn't Ning Tianya a hero who provided the potion? How could he become a traitor?
Public opinion on the Star Network was slowly fermenting, but the Chu family had no time to care about it. After the live broadcast ended, Chu Huai immediately boarded the Chu family's small warship that had been waiting on the side, and chased towards the flagship with Gu Yan'an who had been waiting on it.
Xiang Lingzhi and Wei Xiongchang watched the Chu family warship take off with complicated eyes, looked at each other silently, and then restrained their emotions, looked at their two loyal followers who had returned safely, and asked: "What exactly is going on with the Ning family's treason?"
Three days ago, after the Empire's flagship and the Ning family's flagship left and were destroyed respectively, external communications on the battlefield were immediately restored, and they received news from the front line at that time. But the news was too explosive and too unbelievable. They digested it for several days, and they still feel a little confused.
After all, who could have imagined that the Zerg this time was actually man-made? They had previously thought that the Ning family and the president had betrayed the Federation, and then took advantage of the Zerg's reappearance and Chu Rong's disappearance to try to wipe out the remaining three families together with the Empire.
The two loyal survivors finally put their minds at ease when they saw the people they trusted. After making sure that there was no one else around, the head of the Xiang family took out an encrypted electronic book and handed it to them, saying, "Marshal Chu asked me to pass this on to you and Lieutenant General Wei. It contains all the truth about this battle. He said that you and Lieutenant General Wei will understand it after reading it."
Something Chu Rong gave to me on his own initiative?
Xiang Lingzhi frowned, looked at Wei Xiongchang again, and reached out to take the electronic book.
On the Chu family flagship, Chu Rong turned into the floor where the isolation room was located and found that the situation was a little different from what Zhuang Yu said. There was no rushing force in the air. The floor, walls and ceiling of the corridor were all covered with vines and hard mud that came out of nowhere. A large stone appeared out of thin air at the end of the line of sight, blocking the passage.
"Sir."
A team of dusty doctor assistants popped their heads out from the other side of the boulder, looking helpless and embarrassed, and reported: "Ten minutes ago, the chaotic force in the air suddenly disappeared, and then these things emerged from the isolation room, and quickly crawled all over the walls and floors, and we couldn't clear them all. Although these vines will not actively attack people, once we use too much strength to clean them up, they will roll us out." Just like a child throwing a tantrum.
"And this big rock. It was originally just a small piece, but now..." Another assistant added tearfully, poking the big rock. Then, feeling provoked, the big rock rolled on the spot and jumped angrily, shaking out a cloud of dust.
"...That's right. This stone has a bad temper." The assistant dodged the vines that followed and didn't know what expression to make.
They had all seen the commander's violent mental power, which was particularly brutal and terrifying. Why was it that when it came to Georgia's turn, the method of releasing this power became so, uh, so different?
Zhuang Yu rushed over and was shocked when he saw the corridor. He widened his eyes and said, "What's going on? Renovation? Hey, why is the power rushing in the air gone?"
All her assistants looked at her speechlessly - the boss has been busy day and night these days, and has not gotten enough sleep so her brain is broken, what normal person would decorate the flagship into such a horrible state.
Chu Rong's originally solemn expression softened a little after seeing this scene. He reached out and touched the vines climbing on the wall almost lovingly, as if he was treating Georgia himself, and said slowly, "Be good and let me in."
Then, miraculously, a vine on the wall came over and wrapped around his wrist, and then, as if they understood what he said, they all calmed down and stopped moving. The boulder rolled to the side as far as possible, leaving a passage large enough for one person to pass through.
The assistant standing over there widened her eyes in surprise and took a tentative step inside.
Bang!
The boulder suddenly became even more angry and shook violently. The vines next to it also rolled towards her, preparing to throw her out again with great momentum.
"No, no, no, I won't go over. Don't leave me behind. I, I'm afraid of pain. I'm extremely afraid of pain." The young lady was so scared that she quickly retracted her legs and hid behind her colleague.
When the vine stopped moving, it actually didn't bother her. It just slapped the wall angrily, threatening to stop her from getting any closer.
"puff."
Some people couldn't help laughing out loud.
There are so many manifestations of power release, but the one they are seeing now is the least threatening. It's really... puff puff puff.
Chu Rong glanced coldly at the male assistant who was trying not to laugh, waved his hand to signal them to leave, and walked towards the huge rock blocking the entrance.
Perhaps sensing a familiar presence approaching, the boulder obediently moved to the side a little, leaving the passage open again.
Chu Rong's brows relaxed, he reached out and touched the stone, then turned around to look at Zhuang Yu who wanted to catch up but was tied up by vines around the waist, and ordered: "Seal off this area, and report to me if you have any problems." After saying that, he turned into the passage left by the boulder without looking back.
Zhuang Yu glared at the vines around his waist, feeling angry.
Why can the superior enter safely, but I can't! Strength reaction is an expression of human subconsciousness. This little cutie is a living example of putting women before sisters! Although the vines only entangled her and didn't hurt her, this situation is still very annoying!
Don't think she didn't hear the hidden arrogance in the boss's tone just now! People in love are so scary! Even in this situation, they can still show off!
Chu Rong's mood did become much more relaxed because of Georgia's special way of venting his strength, but when he found that the door of the isolation room was also blocked by vines and a hard layer of soil, his relaxed mood disappeared.
"Let me in."
He opened his mouth, but the vines on the door moved but did not give way. Instead, they wrapped around him even tighter, with no intention of opening the door at all. The vines outside even pushed him, trying to drive him away.
Chu Rong frowned, but didn't move. He reached out and grabbed the vine that was pushing him. He released his mental power and said, "I won't leave. Let me in."
The vine began to play dead, slumped in his hands and pretending that it was just a harmless piece of rope.
Chu Rong narrowed his eyes, took out the dagger, and raised his hand to slash at the vines and soil on the door, but seeing the vines curled up pitifully, the image of Georgia curled up in the quilt when she was sick flashed through his mind. He frowned, put the dagger back, and instead concentrated his mental strength to surround the vines on the door.
As the familiar scent approached, the vines, which were only driven by their owner, immediately became foolishly happy and all rubbed towards this side without any precautions, so the door was lost. Chu Rong pushed the door open with quick eyes and hands, and strode into the room while mobilizing his strength to seduce the vines to leave.
The scene inside the door was similar to that outside, also filled with vines and dirt. The dirt even artistically drew magic circles on the ground, although the drawings were scattered and messy.
Chu Rong looked at the bed which was also covered with vines. His eyebrows jumped. When he stepped closer, he kicked something. He looked down and saw a rough little doll made of mud lying on the vines. It vaguely looked like Rong Tian.
“…”
Very good, you still remember to play even when you are sick.
He strode closer, pushed aside the vines and looked at the bed. He saw Georgia lying peacefully in bed, sleeping soundly. Her face was very red, and she did have a high fever, but her eyes and eyebrows showed a hint of joy, as if she was having a lot of fun in her dream.
……never mind.
He pushed aside the vines and sat down beside the bed. He first put the cooling patch on him, then fed him some cooling medicine given by Zhuang Yu. Then he lay down on the bed and hugged him, the quilt, and the vines together, and slowly surrounded him with his mental power.
Just play, as long as it's not dangerous.
By the time Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an arrived at the flagship, Georgia's power release had temporarily come to an end, but the vines and stones in the corridor were still there, and Chu Rong's blockade order was still there, so no one else could get in.
Chu Huai stood at the blocked door, watching the situation inside through the surveillance camera. He looked a little strange, turned his head to look at Zhuang Yu and asked, "Is Qiao really okay?"
"It's okay." Zhuang Yu replied helplessly. To make it more convincing, he took out a recording device and said, "These are the data from the various testing instruments in the isolation room. Qiao's temperature is just a little too high, and the rest of his body data is normal."
Gu Yanan, who was also studying medicine, immediately went over to take a look, and said with a relieved heart, "That's good, it proves that Qiao's condition is relatively stable."
"So you two don't have to be too nervous." Zhuang Yu smiled, his eyes fell on Gu Yan'an's abdomen, he took the initiative to hug her, and said: "Congratulations, you have been too worried recently, and your mood is unstable, which is not good for the development of the fetus. It's best to rest during this period."
Zhuang Yu and Gu Yan'an both studied medicine and had always had a good relationship. Gu Yan'an smiled when she received her friend's concern. She hugged her back and nodded, "Thank you. I will."
Chu Yan, who had been standing quietly at the back, stepped forward at the right time and said, "Sister-in-law, let me take you to rest first. It's getting late."
Gu Yanan looked back at him again and saw that he was still in his military uniform and seemed not to take it off. He had also become thinner. His heart ached and his eyes turned red again, but he forced himself not to cry. Instead, he smiled at him and went forward to hug him.
When she married Chu Huai, Chu Yan was just a child under ten years old. Over the years, she watched Chu Yan grow up little by little. In her heart, Chu Yan was almost like her own child.
Now that the child has returned safely, he has become sensible and mature. She should be happy about this, but she hopes that Chu Yan will always be the willful and noisy person he used to be, and be the third young master of the Chu family who doesn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Chu Yan hugged her back and patted her back soothingly. He then looked at Chu Huai and wanted to smile soothingly but his nose felt a little sore, so he quickly lowered his head.
Chu Huai stepped forward, hugged his wife and brother, patted them hard, and comforted them silently.
In the middle of the night, Georgia's power was violently released again, and this time it was even more violent. The vines and stones actually broke through the blockade door, and soon crawled all over the area where the isolation room was located. Then, as if knowing where the people they cared about were, they crawled straight towards the rest area where the Chu family lived.
Chu Huai was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Seeing that Gu Yan'an was still sleeping soundly, he was worried that she would be woken up, so he quickly opened the soundproofing cover of the bed, then got up and opened the door.
After the door opened, the warm yellow light from the corridor poured in. There was no one at the door, only a few vines and a few small dolls made of earth tied to the vines. After seeing Chu Huai, the vines curled up as if to say hello, then whooshed around him into the room, climbed onto the soundproof cover of the bed and rubbed against it a few times, dropped the dolls and whooshed back, then crawled to the door of Chu Yan opposite, rolled up stones and politely "knocked on the door".
Bang bang.
A few seconds later, Chu Yan's door opened, and his figure appeared behind the door. Then the vines rolled up a sword made of earth and smashed it on his feet.
Chu Huai & Chu Yan: "..."
They looked at each other, then looked at the vines that were happily crawling in the corridor after giving the gifts, and fell silent.
From this perspective, Joe seems to be in good spirits.
It wasn't just them who had their doors smashed that night. Also included were Fan Xiangnan, Lin Zhen, Zhuang Yu, and even Tan Shengwei. In short, all the people Georgia felt familiar with were treated with care by vines and clods of earth.
The next morning, Gu Yan'an woke up early and learned about this. He glared at Chu Huai with reproach, touched those ugly clay dolls lovingly, and even went out of his way to find the vines that retracted after their violent power was exhausted and whispered to them.
At noon, Joe's power began a new round of violence.
The door of the flagship restaurant was broken by vines, and the dining table where the Chu family was sitting was covered with vines, as if they wanted to give them a snack. The vines were also very generous and bloomed a few small flowers, leaving the flowers next to them.
Gu Yanan couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched the vine that had just bloomed, and whispered, "Thank you."
Chu Yan was silent for a few seconds, then he picked up the flower and stuffed it into his mouth without caring whether the flower was clean or not. The vines next to him were so happy that they rubbed his wrist desperately.
Chu Huai: “…”
Georgia's rampage this time lasted for a long time, and the Chu family was also followed by the vines for a long time, as if they had a clingy little pet. The vines would follow them wherever they went, and they were very obedient and well-behaved.
This scene was too bizarre to be seen by others, so the Chu family consciously limited their activities to the two floors where the isolation rooms were located. All the soldiers who remained on the ship and did not know the truth were arranged to rest on other floors, managed by Fan Xiangnan and Lin Zhen, and had no authority to come to this area.
In fact, according to Chu Rong's intention, he hoped to leave only his own people on the ship, without leaving any soldiers behind, but just in case, Fan Xiangnan still insisted on leaving a team of elite soldiers behind.
Although the Zerg Queen was captured alive, the Zerg has not been completely cleared out, so it is better to keep some people around to protect her.
The Chu family on the flagship were having fun playing with the vines, but the federal citizens on the headquarters were on the verge of collapse.
After the live broadcast, the authorities did not give a more detailed explanation, leaving them to guess. Although they understood that the post-war government would be busy and would need time to deal with various matters, especially since there was no president in charge of the federation, they were anxious!
The Chu family flagship did not stop at the headquarters, Chu Rong only spoke but did not show up, and Chu Huai never appeared in subsequent official news. There was also Georgia whose life or death was unknown, and Chu Yan who had not shown up since the battle. This series of events made them very uneasy!
The war was indeed won, but the Chu family seemed to be hiding from the people and disappeared from the public eye. They no longer came out to explain the situation and comfort the people as they did before after an incident.
Then, a kind of speculation emerged on the Internet: Is the Chu family disappointed? Are they unwilling to stay in the Federation?
After Chu Rong and Georgia disappeared, Chu Huai fell ill. At that time, not only did people not care about the Chu family, but they were led by the president to constantly accuse and question them, forcing Chu Yan to go to the front line in person at a young age to calm public opinion.
Looking back, the Chu family has been forced by the people to go in a worse direction in the past two months, especially Chu Yan, who was even forced to go to the front line to face the Insect Mother.
Put yourself in Chu Rong's shoes. If they were in Chu Rong's position, they would definitely be disheartened if they just returned from the danger and found that their eldest brother was seriously ill and their younger brother was forced to go to the front line. The people they had been protecting kept questioning and blaming their family members, and almost forced the two remaining family members to fall.
I was too harsh, mean and heartless at the time because I was easily swayed by public opinion.
This speculation originally only appeared in a small range, but after Lieutenant General Yuan Lie revealed during a routine interview after completing the battle report that Chu Huai had also boarded the Chu family flagship and was not on the main star and might not be able to take charge for the time being, this speculation quickly spread to the entire star network and became a fact firmly believed by the people.
——It’s over! The Chu family is leaving the Federation! They no longer want to protect the Federation! Protect them!
Public opinion exploded again, with countless people rushing to the Chu family's official website and Chu Yan and Georgia's social accounts to apologize and thank them. The people who once followed the trend and questioned the Chu family felt guilty, while the people who had remained rational in the past but dared not speak out due to the public opinion environment finally felt proud and took the lead in recalling the Chu family's contributions to the federation over the years and accusing some people of being unsteady.
Public opinion began to lean towards the Chu family, and the Star Network was filled with the Chu family's past glory and achievements.
Xiang Lingzhi turned off the light brain, sighed, and said: "If the presidential election is held now, Chu Huai's public support rate will probably exceed 80%. The war is too popular. The Yuan family has a good rhythm this time."
Wei Xiongchang on the other side did not respond. He frowned and pondered for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Do you think Chu Huai and Chu Rong are really not going back to the Federation? His family owns so many planets, they can definitely become independent."
Xiang Lingzhi was stunned when he heard this, then looked at him speechlessly and said, "Old Wei, you are so confused. Anyone can commit treason, except the Chu family. It's fine if others believe the rhythm of deceiving the people on Starnet, but why do you believe it too?"
Wei Xiongchang realized belatedly that his train of thought had also been led astray. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, then asked, "So what do you think the Chu family is doing? Are they staying there to enjoy the scenery?"
What kind of scenery can you see up there? The more you guess, the less reliable it becomes.
Xiang Lingzhi waved his hand and refused to guess with him. He didn't want to guess. He just pointed at the electronic document that they had read countless times and said, "The point now is not why the Chu family wants to hover on the main star, but how to solve this problem."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiongchang turned his attention back to the electronic book, frowned, and said with a cold snort: "The Empire actually dared to create Zerg! After we have recovered, we can just drive the flagship to flatten the Empire!"
Well, we can’t talk about this matter today.
Xiang Lingzhi poured a glass of water in front of him, motioning him to drink it and calm down.
Seeing his expression froze, Wei Xiongchang suppressed his temper, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, frowned and asked: "Then what do you want to do? We can't fight, and the Chu family is all hiding in the sky. The federation is now leaderless, do you want to..." and pointed upwards.

Xiang Lingzhi finally gave up letting him understand his meaning and said directly: "Chu Rong must have more truths about the Zerg in his hands.

"It is to comply with the will of the people and flatter the Chu family in the matter of Chu Huai's promotion." Xiang Lingzhi corrected him, suppressing his resentment at having fought with the Chu family for so many years but still getting such a result. He shook his head and said, "Yuan Lie has already hinted. Even if we don't push, Yuan Lie and He Hongjun will start pushing, so we might as well take the initiative. Old Wei, the situation in the federation is different now." As he spoke, he pointed to the electronic book at hand.
Wei Xiongchang frowned and remained silent, thinking of the truth, and also thinking of the current atmosphere in the Federation and the unclear situation in the Empire. His brows furrowed and he sighed deeply.
Yeah, the situation is completely different now.
