"I feel like something's really not right about this."
Mingmei was now dumbfounded.
Wasn't it said that there would be a fierce battle this time?
Doesn't that mean they're going to have a tough time ahead?
She had made so many mental preparations, but when she repaired a mecha, the world seemed to change completely.
"What happened?"
Not only Mingmei, but even Mingmei's predecessors, who had been standing guard in their positions for half a day, were at a loss for words after not seeing even a single insect fly past them.
They started aggressively, even sacrificing many brothers in the early stages, but they were determined to fight to the end and avenge any wrongs they had wronged.
They were even less capable than Lu Xiaoyao; on the contrary, she flew past them several times because Shang Qianqian had to save people.
In comparison, the logistics and medical treatment teams are clearly busier than they are.
Mingmei asked worriedly, "Seniors, what do you think is going on?"
"Who knows? What's going on up ahead? Is the fighting really that intense?"
"Should we go and provide support? We're still stuck here guarding the front lines; we might as well go to the front lines!"
Even the senior members weren't sure. The second-line teams were all lined up in a row. Mingmei asked in her own team, and the other senior members didn't stand on ceremony. They directly asked the second-line members in the group chat how they got there.
Everyone is discussing it, and the consensus is that people in second-tier cities are practically bored out of their minds!
"The fighting up there is so intense, I'm worried. Can I take a look?"
"Hey, who can argue with that? I wanted to help too, but we're not exactly feeling great here. The fighting's raging up front, and we're just enjoying ourselves."
In the call channel, the second-line crew members were chatting happily. If they weren't still sticking to their posts, who knows, this group of mechs and starships might have formed a circle and held some kind of tea party.
Suddenly, someone from the front lines chimed in, saying, "We're not that busy on the front lines right now, are we?"
"Then tell me, what exactly is happening at the front lines?"
When news came from the front lines, everyone became excited.
"Hey, I don't know. The game was really close at the beginning, but then it just felt like we were just going through the motions."
The person in front directly demonstrated to everyone how to slack off in the later stages of the game. Otherwise, how could someone fighting on the front lines be chatting with everyone in the channel?
"This time, the Zerg commander isn't the Zerg Queen, it's that Zerg general, Firefly! That guy led the charge at the start of the battle! Then he retreated to the second line to command the operation."
"My God, you have no idea how terrifying it was when he led the charge. So many people stepped forward to stop him. I almost thought I was going to die there. Who knew that the other side would just say they wouldn't fight anymore and retreated to fight other Zerg."
Upon hearing this person's sharing, many second-tier staff members present bluntly remarked, "Isn't this some kind of lunatic?"
"Isn't that just a mental illness?"
"Could this be a feint, to lull us into a false sense of security before suddenly launching an attack?"
Some people speculated about conspiracy theories, and Mingmei felt that there was some truth to their thinking.
However, upon hearing that Liu Ying hadn't shown up, Mingmei stroked her chin and said to Gui Gui, "That insect general isn't showing up."
[Yeah, he broke through the Fifth Legion's ranks earlier, and so many died... um... went missing. We thought he was coming on strong, but now it seems like he's just here to make a fool of himself.]
Gui Gui was even more baffled by the thought processes of these Zerg.
So, nobody believed the other party was just there to be funny. Just came to stroll around, doing absolutely nothing.
Those in front dared not let their guard down, remaining tense as they confronted the existing Zerg while also keeping a close watch on the firefly-like Zerg general.
To prevent the other party from using any underhanded tactics in the shadows.
However, because there was less to do here for the time being, Mingmei couldn't help but worry about Hualan Star again; sigh.
"By the way, Gui Gui, how's the game going on Hua Lan Star? Does anyone know? My brother's livestream is still being 'haunted'!"
On Hua Lan Star, the Zerg army is still locked in a stalemate. Although Mei Qiu isn't speaking from the command center, his imposing aura and fixed gaze on the Zerg arena are undeniable. Neither side is making any rash moves; the situation is currently very delicate.
"Oh, I see."
However, some netizens on the StarNet seem to have already guessed that the 'ghost' is actually from the Zerg side. General Mei Qiu's subordinates asked Mei Qiu if she was speaking to the Zerg, and Mei Qiu admitted it, which made everyone a little braver.
Gui Gui recounted what had just happened to Ming Mei, but even though the misunderstanding was cleared up, the fact that netizens only saw Mei Qiu talking to herself still gave them a creepy feeling.
The scene was so beautiful, I can imagine it myself.
"How's the situation on Hua Lanxing, besides my second brother?"
[I don't know, because the live stream is only in the command center, and the live stream is muted when Mei Qiu's staff are passing messages to him, so we have no idea what's going on.]
Clearly, Mei Qiu doesn't want people to know the true situation on Hua Lan Star, but it's unclear who she's trying to protect herself from.
【Those on Hualan Star have absolutely no idea, nor can they see what's going on down there. Do you want to know?】 The first half of Gui Gui's sentence was essentially meaningless; only the last sentence was useful.
"Of course. Could you help me find out? I mean, could you help me contact my older brother and the others?"
Mingmei doesn't need to worry about her nephew Mingsong in the Federation, but her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and her second brother and sister-in-law are all on Hualan Star. In addition, her parents are rushing back, so if they all arrive, the whole family will be on Hualan Star!
If something were to happen to Hualan Star, Mingmei wouldn't even dare to make a hypothesis about this.
Her parents might have to intervene, and while they could likely turn the tide, they would most likely have to give up their lives in this world.
[I'll go ask around and check on the situation over there for you, host. Don't worry too much. You're on the battlefield now, so be careful. I didn't give you permission to multitask and keep an eye on things here, so pay more attention yourself~]
"Oh, I know. Why are you being so hesitant? Hurry up and go, good luck!"
Gui Gui: [...]
The bright sunshine was driving Gui Gui crazy.
Gui Gui also knew that the situation on Mingmei's side was unclear, and she was afraid that Mingmei would be too concerned about Hua Lan Star, which would be a fatal mistake on the battlefield if she was distracted by the war.
Gui Gui was able to keep an eye on Hua Lan Star for Ming Mei so that Ming Mei could focus on and be cautious in this great battle. Seeing the messages from her backend AI and Liu Liu reminding her to take good care of Ming Mei, Gui Gui sighed.
Developing an artificial intelligence is so stressful! _(3”∠)_
