Chapter 74
Inside the starship, Jin Yi carried Chen Xi out of the bathroom in a huge bath towel. Chen Xi's hair was wet, her cheeks were rosy, and her whole body was covered in fresh moisture. He looked up and saw the superior curve of his partner's chin. He couldn't help but raise his hand to support himself on Jin Yi's shoulder, climb up slightly, and then kissed Jin Yi's beautiful and soft lips.
A hint of a smile flashed in Jin Yi's eyes as she gently placed Chen Xi on the soft bed and said, "Finally, you're willing to kiss me?"
Chen Xi blushed slightly as Jin Yi dried her hair, saying, "Isn't it because I haven't taken a shower in a long time?"
Within seconds, Chenxi's hair was completely dry. He tentatively turned around, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Then, I'll make it up to you..."
As she spoke, Chenxi climbed onto Jinyi's neck and kissed his beautiful lips, then kissed them again...
With each kiss from Chen Xi, Jin Yi's expression softened a little more. In the end, she obediently let Chen Xi press her down on the bed, her pure golden eyes quietly watching Chen Xi.
Chenxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, her partner was so affectionate and easy to coax, how could anyone not love him?
As the two gazed at each other quietly, the atmosphere peaceful and warm, Jin Yi raised her hand and supported Chen Xi's waist, who was pressing down on her. "118.46 pounds, you've lost weight."
Chenxi, who almost didn't react in time... could you please not show off your accurate body scale function at this moment?
But before Chen Xi could have any more complaints, he was suddenly pulled into Jin Yi's arms and Jin Yi's deep and pleasant voice said in his ear, "This kind of thing will never happen again, I promise."
Chen Xi also quieted down immediately, nestled against Jin Yi's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and obediently said, "Mmm."
Just as Chenxi and Jinyi were quietly enjoying their sweet and warm time together, half of the massive expeditionary force of the Zhi Clan set off into the depths of this star field. Their mission was to completely eradicate the Red Tide Worms.
Completely eradicating a species whose footprints are spread throughout the entire star system is indeed a huge undertaking.
Of course, Jin Yi's offer to exterminate the Red Tide Worms as a thank you gift was not just to express gratitude to Carlo. The more important reason was that, since they dared to attack Chenxi, simply destroying the Red Tide Worms on one planet was not enough to vent their anger. They dared to taint the treasures of their Zhi Clan, so naturally they had to be prepared for the extinction of their race.
After they completely wiped out the Red Tide Worms, the biggest beneficiaries were naturally the intelligent races in this star system. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration for him to say that he would give the extermination of the Red Tide Worms as a thank you gift.
After all, for the intelligent races in this star system, there is probably nothing more important than this.
To completely eradicate a species, the first thing to do is to understand it. So, after capturing some live Red Tide Worms in the star system, the Intelligence Clan began a comprehensive study of these worms in the laboratory on their starship.
The research speed of a group of super-intelligent brains needs no doubt. In just half a day, the intelligent race had thoroughly studied these red tide worms inside and out, from their genetic profile to their protein composition. It is likely that even the red tide worms themselves do not know themselves as well as the intelligent race does.
In their research on the red tide worms, the Sogdians discovered something very interesting: these worms are incapable of reproduction. What does this mean? It means that they have a queen!
When this was discovered, the eyes of all the Sputniks lit up with astonishment.
If the red tide insects were intelligent enough, they would surely shudder at such a gaze, for it was definitely not a benevolent one.
In addition to discovering the existence of a queen among the red tide worms, the Sogdians also discovered a peculiar area in the brain's neural structure of the red tide worms. This area is where the red tide worms establish mental connections with each other. They use this area to send and receive signals, thereby achieving unified action and even cooperating to set traps for their prey.
In their research on the neural connections of the Red Tide Worms in this region, the Sogdians discovered that in addition to establishing mental connections with the surrounding Red Tide Worms, they also have a mental connection that is much thicker than all other connections, leading to the depths of space.
The Intelligence Clan captured tens of thousands of Red Tide Worms in different parts of this star system. However, no matter where in the star system the Red Tide Worms were captured from or where they were being studied, the thick and strong mental link in the minds of each worm was sent in the same direction.
What does this tell us?
This proves that the Insect King is there!
All the intelligent beings laughed at the bright road signs in the minds of these adorably stupid insects, but there was a sinister undertone to their laughter.
Then these insects were placed in glass cases, and sophisticated instruments constantly monitored the mental links in their minds. With these living guides, the Intelligence Clan's starship fleet sped off in that direction.
...
...
Carlo has been somewhat absent-minded these past two days. One reason is that his little darling has left. These past two days, he has often made a habit of baking things, intending to hand them to her, only to remember that she is already gone. Then he can't help feeling depressed and sad.
Another reason is that the words his little darling partner said that day still lingered in his mind. Even though he was ridiculed when he asked Fang about those words, for some reason, those words just wouldn't go away from his mind.
Perhaps it's because the person speaking has a certain inexplicable aura that makes people unconsciously believe that anything coming from their mouth is true.
However, what exactly does he mean by saying that we'll see when the time comes?
When they go to exterminate the red tide worms, will they take him with them?
Just as a jumble of chaotic speculations flooded Carlo's mind, he suddenly heard a series of exclamations around him, as if the sky were about to collapse.
What was going on? Carlo looked around in confusion, then the next moment, he couldn't help but look up, his pupils suddenly contracting, his breath catching in his throat. The sky hadn't collapsed, but it was now completely obscured by a clear image.
It was a picture of a massive, awe-inspiring steel army sailing through the stars. He had never seen those colossal steel structures before, nor did he know what they were. However, their smooth, mirror-like silver surfaces and the cold, sharp edges seemed to tell everyone that they were not simple.
Suddenly, Carlo thought of the day his little cutie was taken away, the gloomy and oppressive sky, and the huge dark shadows that shone through the clouds. Could it be that those were the things behind the clouds that day?
On this planet, with the sky as a backdrop, a live broadcast of the front lines against the Red Tide Bugs was being streamed. Meanwhile, the Societies were reporting to the Overmind that the broadcast had been arranged.
Jin Yi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Is the network connection between here and the Star Beast Domain still working well?"
In ancient times, humans prepared provisions before they could march. For the intelligent races of the interstellar age, the StarNet is essential for efficient communication, their air and water, and the key to maintaining constant contact with their rear.
So as the main force of the Zhizu army rushed here, they also laid out a simple star network route, so that Jin Yi and his team could keep in touch with the rear guard at all times.
Jin Yi's question naturally received an affirmative answer.
Jin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Send back the footage from the front lines, and also broadcast it over the planets of those intelligent races in the Star Beast Domain."
No one questioned the mastermind's command, and the order was quickly carried out.
Jin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. The intelligent races that had occupied the star field basically left the intelligent races to their own devices, except for a few rules that had to be followed. But it was also possible that they hadn’t used iron-fisted methods on the intelligent races in their territory for too long. Over time, some races would inevitably have other ideas.
They used to be indifferent because they had no weaknesses.
However, after Chen Xi appeared, especially after this unexpected spatial fluctuation, he suddenly realized that accidents always happen in unexpected places.
In that case, the intelligent races within the realm of the Intelligence Clan also need to be taught a lesson. This operation by the Intelligence Clan to eradicate the Red Tide Worms will be their best educational experience.
Because the two star regions are too far apart, even the speed of the Star Network is delayed, but this delay is not too long. After only half a day, the intelligent beings left behind in the Star Beast Region received the instructions from the mainframe, along with live footage that arrived simultaneously with the instructions.
Almost without any delay, thousands of starships dispersed and headed to each target planet to broadcast the live stream.
On the edge of that Star Beast Domain, in a lonely, habitable star hidden in that barren star field, a starship also sailed past.
That's right. Those races that rebelled against the rules of the Intelligence Clan and hid on the edge of the Star Beast Domain are still considered to be on the Intelligence Clan's territory in the eyes of the Intelligence Clan. They are usually too lazy to care about you, but you must watch the educational videos.
So these races, who had just been filled with panic and discussion because of the terrifyingly large army of the passing Aztecs, suddenly discovered that another starship was coming, and it seemed that it was not passing by, but heading straight for them.
The races were utterly terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies. Before they could decide whether to surrender now or abandon this habitable planet and flee to a more distant place, the sky was covered by a huge image. And what was on that image was the massive army of the Intelligence Race that they had seen some time ago, an army that was enough to terrify anyone to the point of collapse.
Cass, still on this planet, froze when the scene in the sky appeared. Compared to the Star Beast Domain races who were completely unfamiliar with the scene and looked bewildered, he immediately noticed the starship fleet of the Intelligence Race and the red ocean in the distance that made his heart tremble yet felt incredibly familiar.
