After confirming that the insectoid being that existed under the guise of the Starfire Insect was an insectoid species they had never seen before, Ruan Xun and Yan Hui left the deepest part of the research institute. As soon as they came out, Ruan Xun's eyes suddenly narrowed.
An unfamiliar guest has arrived.
Ruan Xun's computer transmitted information from the research institute's meeting room in a cold, electronic voice.
This notification of a stranger's arrival implies that the person is an important figure who has been confirmed to be harmless and does not wish to reveal their whereabouts.
"What's wrong?" Yan Hui noticed that Ruan Xun had stopped walking. Ruan Xun turned to look at Yan Hui and said, "Someone has come to the reception room and specifically asked me to go there."
"Do you need me to come with you?"
Yan Hui frowned slightly. Ruan Xun had been in the research institute for less than fifteen years.
His reputation didn't become particularly famous, even with the mastermind's deliberate hints, unless one's research intersected with his.
Yan Hui also knew Ruan Xun to some extent, as their research overlapped.
"Let's go together. You happen to be free recently. Meimei and the others will be going to the Sixth Legion for a while, so you don't need to follow them closely."
When Ruan Xun mentioned Mingmei, Yan Hui slowly came to his senses.
"Oh, she left so soon?"
"The Sixth Army Corps said they have some kind of summer camp for new recruits. As their uncle, do you even care?"
Ruan Xun recalled that she had just talked about this with Mingmei a few days ago, and Mingmei had complained at the time, "She said that the Sixth Army Corps probably just wants them to do unpaid work."
“Yes, given Hu Mingli’s personality, he definitely is.” Yan Hui agreed, a smile curving his lips as he said, “However, the Sixth Legion is actually quite fun~ She will learn a lot and grow a lot there.”
Yan Hui certainly remembered Hu Mingli, the righteous and passionate young man of his youth, who was now seen by some old-timers in the empire as a rebellious and morally ambiguous demon king...
Yes, as expected, young people do mature after experiencing the harsh realities of society.
Yan Hui's eyes slowly looked up, as if he was thinking of the boy he and Mei Qiu had tied up in the past. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. When Ruan Xun saw this, he turned his head away and didn't say anything.
He knew to some extent what this man, who was both his teacher and his elder brother, was thinking at that moment.
Moreover, he had witnessed how terrible Mei Qiu's personality was when she was young, and he believed that Mei Qiu's current temperament was likely shaped by that same upbringing.
However, when Yan Hui saw the person who came to the reception room, the smile on his face vanished instantly...
In the game.
"Wow, this race exists?"
Along the way, Mingmei and her companions, along with Lu Xiaoyao and Doval, picked up some more scattered players. They then explained to everyone the combat methods and roles of the Zerg that they had learned in class, helping each player quickly find their place.
They weren't without encounters with starships and mechs along the way, but thanks to Doval's presence and extensive knowledge of the "enemy," they even managed to eliminate two starships.
Many others share the same thoughts as Mingmei and her group.
Just like now, Mingmei and her friends met Hu Yue and Li Yuan, who had also formed a team.
Hu Yue herself chose a Zerg race that is rarely seen and has explosive combat power—the Sicklefly.
The Zerg are known for their extremely high speed and ferocious aggression.
Although they are not large, about the same size as humans, they are natural assassins, especially when it comes to assassinating humans.
In the historical record of battles between humans and Zerg, the appearance of the Sickle Fly is actually very rare, but every time the Sickle Fly appears, it brings incalculable losses to humans.
Therefore, when Mingmei and the others met Li Yuan, who was also playing the role of the Thousand-Eyed Insect like Mu Chen, they didn't even notice the sickle fly on Li Yuan's tail that was almost integrated with the Thousand-Eyed Insect's tail legs if it weren't for Mu Chen's mental power.
"There's very little data on sickle flies, even in the books."
After discovering Hu Yue, Mingmei and the others couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, I didn't know there was so much information about this thing before I played the role of the sickle fly."
Hu Yue sighed softly. At the same time, Mingmei noticed that Hu Yue nuzzled Li Yuan affectionately while speaking. Li Yuan, who was usually a man of few words, was unusually silent today.
In particular, Hu Yue was so affectionate towards him in front of everyone. In the past, he would shyly whisper a few words to Hu Yue.
"Since there is such detailed information in the game, it means that in reality, this Zerg must have been captured and studied."
Mu Chen voiced Mingmei's doubts.
Meanwhile, Waldo stared at the sickle fly for a long time before suddenly speaking up: "Ah, isn't that the one who appeared in the great battle of the Third Legion a while ago?"
“Yes, he was on the scene.” Suddenly, Li Yuan, who hadn’t said much, spoke up. “My brother was assassinated by the Sickle Flies.”
"What?"
Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao were stunned. The two looked at Hu Yue with surprise, as if to say, "How dare you do this?"
How can someone act like a murderer in front of their boyfriend?
"Oh! You, you little brat, you're the mecha designer!"
Suddenly, Waldo's excitement startled Mingmei and the others. Clearly, he knew Li Yuan, or at least had heard of him.
"Oh! So you're the Major General's sister? I was wondering why someone shared the same surname as the Major General, Hu. How amazing!"
Everyone: ...
What's so amazing about having the same surname as Hu Mingli?
This surname isn't just given to one family.
