Mu Chen's words silenced Mingmei. She had previously received concern from her seniors, who had also told her to go down below to rest.
However, if the explosions in the background weren't so obvious, Mingmei would have liked to rest first.
"My team already suffered heavy losses, and now I'm outnumbered..."
“It doesn’t matter if you’re gone.” Mu Chen interrupted Mingmei. “If losing you were a serious matter, they wouldn’t have let you go to chase and capture Liuying in the first place. Listen to me, you should rest and recuperate now so you can be in better shape to face the battles to come.”
"Also, trust your seniors a little more. If they knew you were dragging a beat-up mech back because you didn't trust them, they'd probably be furious."
"Although the damage to your mech doesn't seem extensive, it's still quite serious for you in close combat. You need to rest and recover before returning."
Mu Chen whispered to Mingmei again, then glanced at the dark mass of insectoids above and said, "There are still many battles ahead."
...
Mei Shi and Ming Yi moved smoothly along the way, passing through several unknown wormholes along the way.
They didn't realize what was going on until they put them on, and once they did, they discovered some problems.
"Something's not right. How come all these wormholes are under someone's control now? We wouldn't have taken the shortcut if we weren't in such a hurry to get back. We would have been caught red-handed if we hadn't teleported."
On an uninhabited planet, Mei Shi still couldn't help but pat her chest as she recalled the thrilling scene from earlier. She and Ming Yi had almost collided with the starship at the entrance of the wormhole.
“Normally these wormholes seem uninhabited, but now they’re all under control.” Ming Yi said with a grim face, “In other words, these wormholes were originally registered.”
Then, Mei Shi realized something else: "You said that these wormholes are usually left to their own devices like wild wormholes, without any regard for their safety. So why is he taking control of them now? Is he scared by what happened with the Zerg?"
"I don't know if they were scared by the Zerg. But it's definitely not a good thing that they hid these wormholes and kept them secret, but suddenly took control of them all."
Mingyi thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been in contact with Liu Liu and the others recently? This matter has caused such a big stir, the mainframe and Liu Liu's side must have taken action."
Mingyi recalled the previous live stream incident, which clearly showed the involvement of the mastermind. Mei Qiu probably knew about it, otherwise these things wouldn't have happened.
“I did ask,” Mei Shi said indignantly. “Wasn’t this supposed to save face for their empire? But they’re being shameless. Since they dared to do this, let’s show it to everyone in the live stream.”
If she hadn't gone to the Zerg's lair with Mu Chen this time, she really wouldn't have known that the Zerg were so ambitious.
Immortality.
This is similar to how cultivators pursue ascension to immortality, except that the Zerg have clearly gone mad.
I want to try everything, I want to do everything.
He's experimented with hybrid species and modified bodies—he's tried every trick in the book!
What surprised her most was that the imperial family of the empire would also get involved!
"The Federation has had its past actions exposed and ridiculed countless times over the years, yet they haven't tried to cover them up. The Empire, on the other hand..."
Mei Shi snorted coldly, but Ming Yi comforted her, saying, "The Federation is bringing up past events because such comparisons make them more supportive of the current president."
However, Mingyi also admired Louis's actions during his reign. In comparison, the things done by the imperial family seemed even more incredible.
"Don't try to glorify the royal family. The thought of us being in-laws gives me a headache..." Mei Shi felt a headache coming on whenever she mentioned it.
Cheryl was a good person, and she was good to her son, who liked her. There was nothing she could do to stop her, but she still found it hard to accept when she discovered these things.
Just like the concerned messages sent by her eldest and second daughters-in-law, Mei Shi returned to Chelsea more than two hours late.
"Now that I think about it carefully, I'm starting to suspect... that thing on Qilan Star might have been aimed at the two of us?"
Her and Mingyi's whereabouts were not exactly secretive, especially after they left the Zerg territory. They had basically contacted acquaintances, and those who needed to know about their whereabouts should already know.
Mei Shi really didn't want to pat herself on the back, but the more she thought about what had happened after leaving Qilan Star, the more something seemed off.
What deep-seated hatred could drive the Zerg to sacrifice so many Zerg lives?
...
My requirements are very simple.
Mei Qiu felt overwhelmed by the fact that the Queen Insect Mother, whose physical form was invisible yet whose spiritual power could reach so far and communicate with her, was actually flattered.
The Zerg's all-out attack was a shock that would last Mei Qiu a hundred years.
"explain."
Looking at the insectoids outside, Mei Qiu had no confidence. How could he protect Hua Lan Star if they mobilized all their forces?
And have the Zerg really gone mad?
How dare you do this?
[I know you have a good relationship with the mainframe. Give us that Zerg core from the Imperial family.]
Mei Qiu: "..."
Why not directly contact the mastermind for this request?
"Why go through all that trouble?" Mei Qiu couldn't help but wonder if their family had been too high-profile. How did even the Zerg know about their relationship with the mainframe?
