Chapter 132 Recovering Memory
"Nameplate, what's on it?" Lan Hu asked Hong Yu loudly, "What did you do to my nameplate?"
The Tianlong was pitching and swaying in the turbulent sea. After the failure of the number one and two engines, the entire ship tilted 45 degrees to the side. Lan Hu saw Hongyu about to fall and subconsciously reached out to pull her into his arms. But when he touched the nameplate around her neck, his face suddenly changed. He grabbed Hongyu's collar with one hand, ripped the nameplate from her neck, and threw it to Caihe in the distance, "Caihe, take a look."
"There's nothing up there," Hongyu screamed at Lan Hu in anger. "My brother just helped me place a tracking charm, so I can find you faster among so many people. Lan Hu, you bastard! You're strangling me to death!"
The ship jolted violently again, and Caihe instantly spread its wings and flew over, grabbing the nameplate that had almost fallen into the gap.
His feet were like claws, firmly planted on the ground, unaffected by the violent shaking of the ship. A colorful light emerged from his palm, wrapping the nameplate. His expression gradually grew colder, and he stared at Hongyu with murderous intent. "It's your royal family's locating spell. It's encased in a tracking charm, so ordinary people really can't find it."
The war between Zerg and humans has been going on for hundreds of years.
After hundreds of years, the Zerg are no longer the ugly bugs that drank hair and blood.
They evolved at a faster rate than humans, especially the royal family that later unified the Zerg race. Not only were their Zerg forms perfectly formed, but their human forms were indistinguishable from humans. Furthermore, the Zerg royal family possessed special abilities, said to be able to connect with heaven and earth and summon wind, thunder, rain, and lightning.
In this regard, the royal family and the human royal family have something in common. They both have unique abilities that allow them to lead their race.
The Queen of Divine Light fought the Zerg for the longest time and felt that the Zerg's royal abilities were not to communicate with heaven and earth to summon wind, thunder, rain and lightning. They just had sharp senses and could sense changes in the environment.
By the generation of the General, battles with the Zerg became more frequent, and the abilities of the Zerg royal family were studied more deeply, with all the abilities of the Zerg royal family noted.
Most of the Zerg royal family can sense natural disasters in the vast starry sky. The sensing distance varies depending on the strength of the royal Zerg. It is said that the Zerg King sitting on the throne now can even sense natural disasters on every planet in the Twelve Constellations.
The Zerg's positioning spell has a similar function to the human's locator. If it were in other scenarios, this positioning spell might not be a big deal, but at this moment, the Tianlong encountered turbulence after staying in the Redstone Galaxy for more than two hours.
The Insect King must have anticipated this turbulence first, and deliberately let his sister sneak into the Tianlong. He also used the excuse of picking up his sister to let the Tianlong stay in the Red Stone Galaxy for more than two hours.
At this moment, everyone glared at Hongyu.
Even Lan Hu's grip on Hongyu's neck was tightening, "You vicious woman."
Hongyu's face was blank at first, and after a moment she reacted, "Impossible, my brother would never do that."
She looked at Jiang He and said, "General Xining, my brother would never do that. I am his only sister. If he blew up your ship, it would be like killing me as well. Besides, he loves you so much, he would never want to destroy the Tianlong."
"You're talking about love in the face of the future of our race. How ridiculous!" Caihe stared at Hongyu. "You siblings are treacherous, cunning, and vicious. You're truly a bunch of disgusting bugs."
The Tianlong was like a leaf in the turbulence. After the No. 1 and No. 2 engines both failed, the safety barrier on the Tianlong was weakening due to insufficient kinetic energy.
Jiang He ignored the arguing of the crowd. Brown Bear tried to pull her away, but she pushed his hand away and walked a few steps to the center of the energy core source in the center of the bridge. She broke the core source cover with a slap and placed her palm on the glowing energy core source.
In an instant, the entire Tianlong was enveloped by her mental power.
Her mental power merged with the energy core source, controlling the tilted Tianlong to adjust its direction and fly towards the end of the turbulence with difficulty.
The Tianlong was like a mountain. Although Jiang He's mental strength was formidable, she had to protect the Tianlong from being torn apart by the turbulence, and also urge the Tianlong to move forward. It was like a person carrying a mountain on his back.
Even if you are as strong as an ox, you will still feel suffocated by the pressure of the mountain.
Jiang He was not only short of breath, but her mental strength was rapidly depleted, causing her entire body to shrink visibly. Her hair turned from jet black to gray, and finally to snow-white.
But even in this situation, she remained calm as she made arrangements. "Quickly check the faults in engines one and two. Turn right three times..."
The panicked people in the bridge were also shocked by her influence. They sat in their seats and carried out Jiang He's orders in an orderly manner.
Jiang He's eyes were a little dry. Although she didn't have a mirror, the wrinkles on her body reminded her of what was happening.
She turned her head, looked at Zong Xiong, and said to everyone, "I appoint Vice General Zong to take over the Tianlong from now on. Vice General Zong, you must take all the expeditionary soldiers on the Tianlong home."
Jiang He was shrinking more and more as if his moisture was being sucked away, and he might turn into a mummy at any time.
Lan Hu threw Hong Yu aside and rushed to Jiang He, placing his hand on the energy core.
The moment his palm touched the energy core source, his entire body was absorbed by the energy core source, without even a trace of bone residue left.
Jiang He didn't expect Lan Hu to pounce on her. He was too fast and she had no time to stop him.
The key is that Lan Hu's mental strength is too weak, like a grain of sand in the desert.
Even if she was absorbed by the energy core, it would not allow her to have more mental control.
But Lan Hu's behavior seemed to have triggered a mechanism.
Jiang He watched helplessly as group after group of people pressed on the energy core source and disappeared like dust and smoke.
"Don't do that again." She shouted at the crowd, "I order you as the general to get out of the way."
Before the Tianlong could escape the turbulence, waves of soldiers filed onto the bridge and disappeared...
Jiang He never knew that time could sometimes become so long.
Those soldiers followed her through life and death, they were away from their hometown and their loved ones, they finally survived after escaping death, and are about to return home to have a happy second half of their lives.
Now, they died quietly and their bodies were nowhere to be found.
"General, please take care of yourself. I am proud to be your soldier."
"General, joining the expeditionary force is the happiest thing for me."
"General, my father followed the Queen of Divine Light until his death, and I will follow you until my death. I am very happy that I can finally meet my father with pride."
"General, don't be sad. I volunteered. If you meet my mother, please tell her that I am her honor."
…
At first, those with wives, children and elderly parents were asked to step aside.
Later, the older ones came forward...
The younger ones stepped forward...
Jiang He was powerless to stop them.
Neither the number one engine nor the number two engine could be repaired, and the storm in the turbulence stopped at some point.
Perhaps, the Tianlong has left the turbulence?
Jiang He woke up from her dying breath and saw the young emperor of the Zerg.
He held out his hand to her, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Jiang He stood on the ground like a stone statue. She did not reach out her hand, but slowly turned her head and looked around.
There was no one in the entire bridge.
Those expeditionary soldiers, they seemed like fleeting shadows, appearing briefly in her memory.
The Insect King beside him continued to ask, "My sister, where is she?"
Jiang He: "There are 47,826 people on my Tianlong this time."
She lowered her head and looked at the energy core that carried tens of thousands of lives. "They are all dead."
She wanted to protect them and take them home. She had never enjoyed the warmth of home, but they all had homes. If her death could bring happiness to more than 47,000 people, she would be willing to do so.
But these people gave up their happy and warm homes just to keep her alive.
…
"They still have a trace of consciousness attached to the energy core and haven't disappeared. General Xining, are you using your mental power to wrap up their remaining consciousness? I really admire your actions. Speaking of which, I do have a way to revive them."
That method is both simple and difficult.
As the new emperor of the Zerg, he knows his Zerg history.
"Humans believe that the Zerg suddenly emerged from a corner of some interstellar space, but that's not the case. Our Zerg origins lie in the inner world. The surface world, which is the world you humans see, is different from the inner world, which humans cannot see. My ability can connect to the inner world, but I can only send the consciousness of the deceased into it."
As for what is in the other world, the new Zerg emperor has no idea.
After all, the existence of the other world was more like an ancient legend than official history. If he hadn't discovered his special ability to connect to the other world, he would have been like the rest of the royal family in not believing in its existence.
The new Zerg emperor could not guarantee that Jiang He and her expeditionary force could survive in the inner world, nor could he guarantee that Jiang He and her people could come back alive from the inner world.
But Jiang He made her decision without hesitation. She said, "I'll go."
She asked the new Zerg Emperor, "What do you want?"
The new Zerg Emperor asked her, "Aren't you afraid that I will deceive you? Aren't you afraid that I will lead the Zerg to continue crossing the Redstone Galaxy?"
Jiang He's eyes were fixed on the energy source in front of her the entire time. Her face was numb and dazed, as if she had lost her soul. The other party's words made her face sneer, "That person is stronger than me. Believe me, you don't want humans to release another beast."
She repeated the question, "What do you want?"
Everything has its gains and losses, and nothing can be obtained out of thin air, especially since this person is the king of the Zerg.
The other party hesitated briefly, perhaps thinking about what kind of request would maximize his benefits.
Jiang He didn't need to be anxious and just waited quietly for his response.
The Zerg King quietly cast his gaze upon Jiang He's face, carefully examining her. Almost instantly, Jiang He noticed his gaze and looked up. As Jiang He stared at him with doubt, he whispered, "If you could come back, could you please reconsider my proposal?"
Jiang He was puzzled: "Why?"
Romance was the most boring thing for people like them. Of course, the Zerg King would never ask for marriage for love.
The Zerg Emperor could gain many benefits by marrying her, but that was before her death. If she came back after death, she would no longer be a member of the royal family, nor would she be the Great General Xining. What benefits could he gain by marrying such an unknown person like her?
The Zerg Emperor was about to make a teasing remark, but when he met her bewildered gaze, his smile turned serious and solemn. He said, "From birth, I have been high and mighty. Not only do my subjects obey my orders, but even my mother dares not disobey me. Whatever I want, no matter what it is, I will get it. Without exception."
He paused, "I know you are not a thing, you are a human being. I am asking to marry you according to human etiquette. I want you."
Jiang He understood. She was like a trophy, and the other party wanted to play with her as a trophy.
She nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
There was no reluctance or discomfort.
It was so calm that the new Zerg emperor's wildly beating heart calmed down in an instant.
He said, "If you keep your word, I will wait for you to come back."
This pervert is so obsessed with collecting things!
…
Memories flashed by like a passing display, describing Jiang He's first half of her life. She opened her eyes and found herself still soaking in the dark red pool.
The layers of human bodies in the pool surrounded her, silently telling her what she had experienced in this so-called other world.
