Just as Mingmei had guessed, the trap set by Hu Mingli and his group couldn't hold the Queen Insect Mother at all.
Even when Mingmei received a warning from Lai Zhimei about safety, she still said, "So, your plan failed again?"
Hearing Mingmei's merciless mockery, Meiqiu's face darkened.
"Who said that? It's just how it appears on the surface."
"Oh~"
Clearly, brightness won't do.
"I'm giving you a good warning now. You've gotten too big for your britches and don't listen to your older brother anymore. You don't even listen to Hu Mingli. Be careful, or you two will be kicked out of the Sixth Legion after this!"
Hearing her second brother's fierce voice, Mei Qiu chuckled and didn't say anything more, but there was one thing her brother said that she liked to hear.
This time, when it ends, she and Mu Chen...
Yes, her second brother also hopes that Mu Chen is doing well.
Afterwards, Hu Mingli politely asked Mingmei if she wanted to go with them to catch turtles in a jar, and not to act alone.
Mingmei politely declined the offer.
Let her be selfish for once.
If they were together, and a problem arose, they would definitely consider the bigger picture. If an accident were to happen, her brother and Hu Mingli would prioritize the greater good over Mu Chen's responsibilities.
Mingmei wasn't worried about everyone, after all, even if the sky fell, there were tall people to hold it up, but Mu Chen was different.
If something happens to him, only Mingmei will do everything she can to save him!
However, judging from the tone of his brother and Hu Mingli's voices reminding him, Mingmei felt that they did indeed have a backup plan, just as his second brother had said.
But not many.
Otherwise, her second brother's expression wouldn't have turned so unpleasant after she finished speaking.
Mei Qiu and Hu Mingli, two people who have fought for so many years, don't even believe that they can guard against the Queen Insect Mother with just one checkpoint, and the Queen Insect Mother is even less likely to believe it.
After breaking through one layer of encirclement, the enemy's speed suddenly slowed down, which gave Mingmei time to catch up.
Mingmei was surprised that Meiqiu and Hu Mingli stopped her from recycling, but Lu Xiaoyao contacted her privately and offered to help.
Mingmei was completely bewildered. She was already wondering why Hu Mingli would bring Lu Xiaoyao and her brother to this occasion, and Lu Xiaoyao's sudden contact with her, as if she also wanted to do something privately, made Mingmei even more confused.
Mingmei hadn't asked in detail before, as her whole heart was focused on Mu Chen, thinking only about how to bring him back. But now that Lu Xiaoyao was so eager to help, Mingmei couldn't help but ask directly.
"I was worried about you, Meimei. I was so worried when I saw you fighting that big shot earlier."
What are you worried about?
"Of course I'm worried about your personal safety, and I want to help you."
Mingmei was surprised when Lu Xiaoyao blurted out her desire to help Mingmei. She asked, "Did you report this to the Major General? Aren't you on a mission yourself?"
"Um... well, actually..."
When Mingmei asked her about this, Lu Xiaoyao confessed how she and her brother "smuggled" themselves here, were discovered, and were eventually suspended from their assigned missions after Lu Gui was injured, with her taking care of Lu Gui instead.
Obviously, taking care of her brother is out of the question.
Just like Lu Gui said, instead of wasting time on Lu Xiaoyao's tone, it would be better to consider helping Mingmei.
Lu Gui also noticed Mingmei's current "predicament" and realized that she needed a helper.
The people who helped her and Mu Chen.
However, Lu Xiaoyao and Mingmei were both amused and exasperated by this helper.
She had to admit that Lu Xiaoyao always managed to escape danger, but the process was quite tortuous.
"Do you know why you're coming with me?" Mingmei reminded her repeatedly, "Although I might only be dealing with a small portion of the Zerg, I'm facing the Queen Mother directly, which is also the most dangerous situation. Have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through. I'm tough and fearless!"
"That's not because you're tough, it's because of your mecha."
"That's about the same~ I know, but Meimei, I'm really worried about you."
Lu Xiaoyao's expression suddenly turned serious. "Do you know how scary it was when you fought with the controlled big shot?"
Although everyone says you're beating the big shots to a pulp, for you personally, that was practically suicidal.
“I know you’re worried about the boss, but if you end up getting yourself into trouble and he gets rescued, he’ll be heartbroken too.”
Lu Xiaoyao's words softened Mingmei's heart. She sighed and said, "I'm very grateful that you wanted to help me at this time. But you should trust me, I can handle it. Even my brother and the others are willing to let me handle this alone."
"Those are your brothers. Those grown men aren't as thoughtful and meticulous as us girls!" Lu Xiaoyao's tone was full of disdain as she expressed her disapproval of Mei Qiu and the others agreeing to let Mingmei act alone. "We girls are very thoughtful!"
We girls are very thoughtful.
Mingmei's lips twitched involuntarily.
In terms of being meticulous, Mingmei doesn't think she's that meticulous, let alone Lu Xiaoyao, who's so clueless.
"I can't let you face danger alone. The way the boss is controlled, he can't tell right from wrong. He even dares to hit my brother and beat me up. Even if I say I'll tell on him, he won't listen to me."
If you stand there yourself, that big shot will hit you if he wants.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but complain to Lu Xiaoyao.
"Wouldn't I be worried? Besides, what if you soften your heart because of that big shot's face?"
