After Sui Yi woke up, she seemed to have recovered quite a bit. Nie Shangheng stayed by her bedside day and night, taking care of her. The way he looked at her with such heartache made Long Chen feel a pang of sadness.
How are you feeling now?
"That's good. By the way, have all those things been taken care of?"
"Yes, everything is ready, we're just waiting for you to wake up."
"Okay!" Sui Yi got out of bed, and Nie Shangheng made her some porridge before the two of them went out.
Inside the hall, everyone was discussing matters concerning the Zerg. Upon seeing Suiyi, they all stood up.
"Miss Mu, hello!" The polite tone made Suiyi feel a little flattered.
"You're too kind, please have a seat," Sui Yi said with a smile, sitting down next to Nie Shangheng.
"Miss Mu, what are your plans regarding that well?"
"Right now, all we can do is seal that well, but the Zerg eggs spread through water, so I think we need to deal with the Queen first. In the coming days, I will search for traces of the Queen. Once we eliminate the Queen, everything will be fine!"
“Alright! We’ll all listen to Miss Mu. If Miss Mu has any instructions, please let us do them, as long as it’s within our capabilities.” The mayor stated, and everyone agreed.
"Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony if you need anything."
“Miss Mu saved our lives, so please give us your orders.”
"Since Miss Mu has just woken up, we won't disturb your rest any longer!" After saying that, everyone left one after another, leaving only Suiyi and a few others behind.
"Yingying, what do you plan to do?"
"Why are most insect eggs underground? So I plan to have Shang Heng and I, whose spiritual power is relatively high, use our spiritual power to penetrate the earth's core to investigate. The three of you will protect us and prevent anyone from disturbing us, because the insect queen also has spiritual power, so we need to avoid any accidents."
"Okay! Let's go to another room then."
"Mr. Li, if anything unexpected happens, burn these things for me. These are Sleeping Incense. Burning them will put the insect race into a deep sleep." Sui Yi was worried that if she and Nie Shangheng used their mental power to attack the insect queen, the queen would retaliate, and then all the insects would crawl out and harm people, which would be terrible.
Sui Yi and Nie Shangheng sat cross-legged on the bed, closed their eyes, and released their spiritual power, penetrating deep into the earth's core. Sure enough, when their spiritual power penetrated a thousand meters, they felt a strong spiritual fluctuation; there was something inside the earth's core.
Sui Yi unleashed all her spiritual power and finally reached the depths of the Earth's core.
"Queen Insect!" Sui Yi saw a huge queen insect coiled up in the center of the planet, and the planet was full of holes, densely packed, and basically every hollow place had been occupied!
Sui Yi tentatively used her mental power to tease the insect queen. The insect queen sensed the familiar aura, opened her eyes, and suddenly screamed. A wave of energy spread outwards, and the small insects around the insect queen began to move wildly.
Sui Yi's spiritual power transformed into a giant hand, gripping the insect queen's neck and then violently shaking her. Caught off guard, the insect queen was shaken until she was dizzy and disoriented. However, if victory were so easily achieved, then she would be nothing but a charlatan!
After recovering, the Queen Insect launched her attack, a shadowy insect chasing a giant hand. The giant hand slapped repeatedly at the shadowy insect. Sui Yi's mental energy was increasingly depleted. It was already difficult enough for her mental energy to penetrate thousands of miles away; launching a mental attack on the Queen Insect further increased her energy expenditure. Fortunately, Nie Shangheng was there, and the two cooperated seamlessly, gradually gaining the upper hand.
"Bang bang bang!" The door was being pounded on loudly from the outside. When Li Zeyu opened the door, he saw a villager running over in a panic.
"Mr. Li, something terrible has happened! A huge swarm of insects has crawled up here! What should we do?" The man was sweating profusely and looked terrified.
Where is it?
“There are so many, they’re all over the ground.”
"All of you ordinary people, go into the lightning array, which is today's lightning circle. The Zerg dare not go in there."
"The rest of you, take your amulets and follow me!" After saying that, Li Zeyu didn't have time to go back and explain the situation, and ran out first.
"The Zerg are attacking!" Long Chen's eyes widened as he heard the conversation outside and looked at Wen Xuerou.
"Quickly request support from the Empire; there are many Zerg. I'll guard this place; you go and help them."
Are you sure you can do it?
"Oh, don't worry about whether I'm okay or not. The most important thing right now is those people. I'll be fine."
"good!"
"Calling for Father Emperor! Calling for Father Emperor!"
"Third brother, what's the matter?"
"Father, a large number of insects have appeared on the pirate planet. We don't have enough strength here and need reinforcements. Brother Nie and I are here now, and we may not be able to hold them off!"
"What? Good! I'll give the order right away. You must hold on and make sure nothing happens." Upon hearing that the Zerg had invaded the Pirate Star, the Emperor felt a chill run down his spine.
"Father, I'm counting on you!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, grabbed his weapon, and went out.
"Someone come quick! Someone come quick!"
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Quickly contact the Grand Marshal and the academy's higher-ups, and immediately lead troops to support Pirate Star! It's been invaded by the Zerg!"
"Yes!" The matter was urgent. After dismissing the others, the Emperor announced a meeting for all high-ranking officials.
Ten minutes later, everyone had arrived!
"I received a text message from the Third Prince saying that there's an insectoid invasion on the pirate planet, and several of them are there. What kind of weapon do you think would be suitable for us?"
"The Zerg?" No one could believe it. Although they had often heard the term "Zerg" in recent years, they had never actually seen one.
"You'll see when you look at this." The Emperor pressed the display button, and everyone saw countless white worms wriggling on the surface of the pirate planet, some flesh-colored mixed together, and some black. It was enough to give anyone goosebumps.
"Oh My God!"
"vomit……"
"Ugh..." The sound of vomiting filled the entire conference room. Everyone was pale, closed their eyes, and refused to look at the thing anymore.
"If we don't eliminate that thing now, it will invade the empire sooner or later. So what we should do now is send troops to support it. Moreover, there are not only the Third Prince there, but also Young Master Nie and Miss Mu from the academy. It is estimated that they were the ones who discovered the Zerg. So we absolutely cannot stand idly by in this matter."
"Alright! I agree." A minister barely managed to suppress his turmoil, raised his hand, and bowed his head in agreement.
The others also agreed.
"But I don't know who the Emperor will send?"
"Let the marshal lead the troops, and some students from the academy should also go and get some training!" With just one sentence, the fate of many people was decided.
"We'll get on it right away!" In truth, neither the ministers nor the academy leaders were confident they could recruit many people. They didn't want to actually see those people; they wondered if those students who hadn't experienced the baptism of war would be even more useless.
