"Dad, didn't you say His Majesty wanted to have a meeting with you?"
Having just cleared the Zerg from the border battlefield, Hu Mingli saw his father, who rarely went to the front lines, appear in the base.
"I'm not going." Hu Xinyao's face darkened as soon as he heard the word "Your Majesty." He glared at Hu Mingli and asked, "Weren't you going to Qilan Star? Why haven't you gone yet?"
Seeing that his father was trying to divert attention, Hu Mingli asked when no one was around, "You know something about the inside story, don't you?"
"It's an adult's matter..."
"I'm already a major general."
Seeing that Hu Xinyao was really treating him like a child, Hu Mingli could no longer bear it: "Your Majesty did this on purpose, didn't you? Also, Your Majesty told the Zerg about that wormhole, didn't you?"
"Who told you that?!" Hu Xinyao couldn't sit still any longer as Hu Mingli's words grew louder and more outrageous. He stood up and glared at him, then breathed a sigh of relief since no one else was around. "How could His Majesty be in league with the Zerg? Who told you that nonsense?!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll know once we catch the Zerg's royal bug." Hu Mingli couldn't believe it when he learned about it from Feng Li, the half-Zerg, half-merman hybrid.
This is utterly unbelievable, a complete fantasy!
...
"Senior, should we continue guarding this wormhole?" (Reading by Shuluo)
The news has been received on Qilan Star that the crisis there has been successfully resolved, and they have also blocked several waves of Zerg reinforcements.
Moreover, judging from the time it took them to block the previous waves of Zerg, it's unlikely that any more Zerg will emerge.
“Of course we have to guard it.” The man didn’t hesitate at all. “This wormhole is a real threat. The Sixth Legion hasn’t sent anyone to take over yet. We should guard it for a while.”
After Cai Xing finished speaking, she looked at Wang Wenfei and asked, "Has there been a reply from over there that someone wants to come over?"
"We've replied. They'll send someone over shortly." Wang Wenfei's brows finally relaxed after she finished speaking, and she asked softly, "Has the casualty count been calculated this time?"
“Five people have died, thirty-two are seriously injured in the medical pod, and more than a hundred others are injured.” Wang Wenfei’s eyes suddenly darkened as she tallied the figures.
The word "death" is something I can never get used to, no matter how many times I experience it.
"knew……"
Cai Xing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, then raised her hand to touch Wang Wenfei's head and said, "There are very few left... The Empire is proud of them."
"I understand." Wang Wenfei's eyes welled up with tears. She looked up at the wormhole they were guarding, a different look flashing in her eyes, and asked, "Should we send a reconnaissance plane to investigate the other side of the wormhole?"
Why did you suddenly think of this?
Cai Xing looked at Wang Wenfei with surprise.
“If the Sixth Legion hasn’t discovered this wormhole all these years, I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all.” Wang Wenfei didn’t know that she would think so much just now.
“This is not within our jurisdiction.” Cai Xing stopped Wang Wenfei’s wandering thoughts. She looked up and met the complicated look in her senior’s eyes. She saw the other person slowly shake his head and hesitate to speak.
"us……"
"Aside from coming here to support Qilan Star, nothing else is something we should be involved in."
It's not that Cai Xing is heartless, but that's just the truth.
Just as Wang Wenfei suspected, such a wormhole had never been discovered under the nose of the Sixth Legion. If the Zerg had intended to attack from here, why would they have waited until today?
It cannot be ruled out that another group of Zerg, driven by impulse, had just discovered this place.
But if neither side has discovered it or has only just discovered it, where do so many coincidences come from in the universe?
Of course, there aren't that many coincidences in the universe.
Order is gradually being restored on Qilan Star.
The people of Qilan Star, who had been hiding at the very bottom of the underground fortifications, gradually came up to participate in the post-disaster reconstruction work.
They can't get involved in the fighting, but they certainly want to help rebuild their homes.
Meanwhile, the garrison of the Sixth Army Corps was also busy.
Besides helping the people of Qilan Star rebuild, there are still many things to deal with.
Among them, regarding the investigation into the sudden attack by the Zerg, Hu Mingli immediately contacted Qilan Star after having a "heart-to-heart talk" with his father.
Mingmei and the others who contributed the most to this wave also participated in the meeting.
It was mainly thanks to her mother's influence. Given her bright and cheerful nature, she would probably be traveling around at this time, visiting the wounded, seeing her colleagues, and taking a look at what this war had brought about.
Now, although she knows more, Mingmei feels more and more that people's hearts are complex.
On the edge of the Canglan Starfield, not far from Qilan Star, there is a wormhole that has never been discovered before.
If the Fifth Legion hadn't discovered the wormhole during their reinforcements and held it for several waves, the situation on Qilan Star today would have been even worse.
"So, are we supposed to investigate this matter?"
Actually, after this matter was over, they didn't want to get involved anymore.
However, Mei Shi's performance in this battle made the Sixth Legion so eager to recruit her directly.
Even if she is a married woman with children and is of advanced age.
So after the battle, the couple, along with Julian, who had a special status, attended the meeting together.
Upon hearing the last question about the wormhole, Mingmei frowned.
When Hu Mingli brought up the matter in front of his parents during a remote meeting, Mingmei realized that Hu Mingli probably wanted to ask his parents for help.
"There's no need to investigate that wormhole; we already know about it."
