When Cen Yu was caught by the King Insect, he only resisted for a few seconds before lying flat.
He thought to himself that this way of logging off seemed to fit the original work quite well.
He didn't ask Chi Jiazhen where she wanted to take him. A moment later, he found that Chi Jiazhen had changed his position and made him sit on her back.
"Where are you going to take me?" Cen Yu asked, sitting behind Wang Chong.
'My hometown.' Chi Jiazhen's voice echoed in Cen Yu's mind.
Cen Yu felt that his work clothes wouldn't last long, but soon he found that there was a barrier around him that blocked everything.
After sitting for a while, Cen Yu simply lay down on Wang Chong's back.
The Zerg are naturally suited to interstellar travel; unlike humans, they don't need any tools to survive in space.
"It's beautiful there." Perhaps worried that Cen Yu might be bored, Chi Jiazhen quickly added, "It's a completely different place from Xingdu."
Cen Yu was a little suspicious, "You grew up on Planet Nott..." After that, there was that remote planet and the star capital. Cen Yu didn't think Chi Jiazhen would have been to his hometown.
'I've seen him in his memory.'
"Him?" Cen Yu pondered. "Your father?"
"Yes," Chi Jiazhen said.
Perhaps because she was finally leaving with Cen Yu, Chi Jiazhen's voice was filled with undisguised excitement.
'It's filled with gems, and creatures that only appear in Zerg-inhabited areas.'
'But before that, we need to go to the holy site first.'
Holy Land? Cen Yu knew, of course, that this was the heartland of the Zerg, just as Star City was to the Empire.
It is said that all the insectoids were born in the Holy Land... Just thinking about the massive insectoid swarms made Cen Yu's scalp tingle.
"Maybe we shouldn't go," Cen Yu couldn't help but say. "It would be too presumptuous for a human like me to go to the holy land."
He feared that if he went to the holy land, he would be torn to pieces.
'I'm an adult now,' Chi Jiazhen said in Cen Yu's mind. 'I can go to the Holy Land to inherit my property.'
'...and get married while we're at it.'
"Marriage." Cen Yu nodded absentmindedly. "That's good. You have a marriage partner in the Holy Land?"
He really didn't know that Chi Jiazhen had a fiancé (or fiancé) in the Zerg.
Hearing Cen Yu's words, Chi Jiazhen's voice held a hint of grievance, "Xiao Yu, what are you saying?"
Why would I have a partner in the Holy Land?
"I want to take you to the Holy Land to get married," Chi Jiazhen said. "And Adam had his wedding."
"..."
"???"
Cen Yu was so frightened that he jumped up and shouted, "Get out of the car!"
"I want to get off!"
Why is this beat-up car heading to the church?
...
Huo Shen crawled out of the cave.
The subordinates whose minds had been controlled slowly awoke. This was the first time they had faced the King Worm head-on, and they never expected mind control to be so terrifying. Even though the mechs had devices to prevent mind control, they still couldn't withstand the King Worm's innate abilities.
"Your Highness?" Huo Shen did not see Li Chonghe, who should have been standing near the base.
Wen Zhen has also disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, Wen Zhen crawled out of a hole at the back of the base. He was covered in blood and was obviously seriously injured.
Huo Shen was searching for Li Chonghe. A moment later, he found Li Chonghe behind a pile of metal scraps. Li Chonghe's work clothes were torn. He was pale. If Huo Shen had been any later, Li Chonghe would probably be dead.
Huo Shen cursed under his breath, grabbed Li Chonghe, and hurriedly flew towards the spaceship.
The spacecraft has a built-in medical bay, and machines are rapidly healing Li Chonghe's wounds.
Huo Shen stood there with his arms crossed. He clearly remembered that Chi Jiazhen had not attacked Li Chonghe before leaving, but considering that Wen Zhen was also injured, just not as seriously as Li Chonghe... he guessed that the two of them might have been injured when they tried to stop Chi Jiazhen from taking Cen Yu away.
But something still doesn't feel right.
Huo Shen thought.
He watched as Li Chonghe gradually shed his deathly aura thanks to the effects of the medical pod.
His teammates were all under mind control at the time, and the only one who probably knew what was happening was Wen Zhen... Wen Zhen was in slightly better condition. He was able to sit near the medical pod, and when he looked down, the healed scars on the back of his neck were clearly visible.
Huo Shen wasn't very interested in the struggles on the Federation side; he just wanted to know how Li Chonghe got injured.
So he asked Wen Zhen directly.
Wen Zhen glanced at Li Chonghe inside the medical pod and shook his head. "I didn't see him." This was true, although he could roughly guess some of the reasons.
Huo Shen sensed that Wen Zhen was hiding something.
But he also knew he couldn't get any more information out of him... He turned to look at Li Chonghe in the medical pod, and a rare sense of frustration welled up inside him.
He felt that his mission had failed.
The communicator received a message from the adjutant indicating that the matter on Planet Nott had been resolved, and that they had found more data and research on underground experiments in other underground spaces and were preparing to return to Star Capital.
Huo Shen also replied to the message, saying that he had brought back Li Chonghe and had also found Marshal Wen Zhen.
The adjutant keenly noticed the unfinished sentence Huo Shen had left unsaid—
What about Cen Yu and Chi Jiazhen?
"They ran away." Huo Shen replied.
He sent a detailed message afterward—
Chi Jiazhen transformed into a king insect, captured Cen Yu, and her fate remains unknown.
...
When Li Chonghe woke up, he had already been transferred to a starship.
There is less than a day left before we arrive in Xingdu.
As soon as he woke up, the medical bay sounded to notify the medical officer on the starship. Soon, Huo Shen, his adjutant, and the medical officer all arrived at the temporary hospital on the starship to visit the awakened Li Chonghe.
