Yi Jun was stunned. Where did this person come from? Had they been discovered?
"You can tell?" Lian Han looked at the male Zergman with surprise.
Casper gave a gentle smile. "I'm quite sensitive to scents."
Lian Han nodded, "I am human, but this is the insectoid world."
“I know. Only humans can use the cards,” Kasper replied.
He's a card player too. Yi Jun calmed down and realized that being with Lian Han really put his fragile heart to the test.
Lian Han asked, "What's your relationship with Liz like?"
"We share the same plight, but unfortunately we dislike each other."
Lian Han was surprised, "...You are the only two Zerg cards in His Majesty's possession, and you don't get along? And if you don't get along, why would the old man dare to give her the cards? Isn't he afraid that the two of you will fight?"
"So we're in the same boat. Liz hates me, but she won't actually lay a hand on me. Me too."
She might not really hate him. With Liz's personality, if she really disliked someone, she would absolutely not hold back from taking action.
"What can I do for you?"
"Coming here was an accident, and we want to go back to the Federation. Can you help me?"
"Extremely willing. May I ask which insect planet this is?"
Just as Yi Jun was about to reply that he didn't know, he heard Lian Han say, "248."
Yi Jun: ?!
How could he not know?
“Your luck isn’t too bad.” Kasper recalled the distribution of the Zerg’s planets and gave a gentle smile. “Once we meet Liz, we will come up with a perfect plan to help you leave.”
Lian Han raised an eyebrow. Just like before, character cards don't recognize owners except for the creators. They act entirely according to their own preferences. How could Casper have agreed to help her so readily?
Then she heard Casper say, "Do you know His Majesty the City Lord?"
“I know him, but he doesn’t know me.”
Lian Han chuckled, inwardly complaining, "[System, how on earth did that old man manage to get all these cards to recite his name like that?]"
The system did not respond.
Xiaoya guessed, "[It's probably the card itself that affects the character.]"
[You know?]
[I'm just guessing. Since the original cards produced by the card system can be incorporated into life, there's no guarantee there won't be other negative effects.]
“That’s a real shame,” Casper said with a smile. “I’ll wait for Liz to return nearby. Someone will come to pick you up later, Miss. We’ll contact you afterward.”
Lian Han nodded.
Watching him leave, Yi Jun finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did this person come from?"
"I just remembered that I still have a character card on me."
"How come I remember that all the character cards except for Liz were sacrificed?"
Lian Han opened his mouth to correct him, "It's all the known character cards."
I wonder if Kasper believed her nonsense about having no connection with Xing Yucheng. Even Liz could recognize that her mental strength was similar to the old man's; he probably could too.
"Is that so?" Yi Jun was still a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. "So we'll just wait here?"
"Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Lian Han glanced at the small window in the house. Through the small window, he could see one or two Zerglings wriggling and crawling out of the stone house.
Yi Jun: "...I think it's fine to stay here."
Lian Han rolled her eyes at him, "You'll have to go out like this sooner or later, why don't you practice first?"
"As if you're an exception."
“I have Liz.” Lian Han’s lips curled into a bright smile.
What's wrong with Liz? Yi Jun still didn't understand what she meant.
...
On the other side, Liz, who had finally managed to return with a fake identity, saw a fellow human and her eyelids twitched. She almost punched him. "What are you doing here?"
"As entrusted by the young master."
"Young master?"
“Although she didn’t say, she’s probably a student around the same age as Jingli. Helping her out might get us some information about our master,” Kasper said with a smile.
"so what?"
Although Liz and he didn't get along, she had to admit he was right. This time when she saw Lian Han, the scent of her master was even stronger than before; something must have happened. Unfortunately, she hadn't had a chance to ask before getting stuck in this wretched place, a million miles from the Federation, so there was no point in asking anymore. She could only wait until they got back.
Although she didn't like him, Casper was truly intelligent, or rather, wise.
"I need to make sure you're not at risk of exposure first. What's your current name?"
Liz, who had changed her appearance, pouted. "Gretay, one of the guards of this settlement, go and relieve me now."
“Okay. You go first. I’ll go check out the settlement and find myself an identity too.” Kasper nodded.
"You'd better watch out, or I won't come to your rescue if you get caught."
"I'm still a 3S, so my weak combat power is only relative."
...
General Ning had just come down from the battlefield when he received Jing Li's communication request. Looking at that name that he hated so much, he wanted to hang up immediately, but then he remembered he still couldn't get in touch with Lian Han—
"What's up?"
"I'm sorry to tell you some bad news, General: Junior Sister has gone missing."
Ning Jue: "...She was perfectly fine on the capital planet, how could she have disappeared?"
"That's right. Yesterday, she went to the Ling family home and was surprised to find that her cousin Ling Ze had been taken hostage by criminals, so she took it upon herself to go to the wasteland to rescue him."
"And then she was tied up too?" Ning Jue's eyelids twitched, feeling that this girl was completely ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
Jingli replied, "No. Junior Sister successfully rescued the hostages and helped the military capture the criminals, but unfortunately, the opposing leader resorted to unknown means to open a spatial rift in a desperate attempt to save the day."
"..." Ning Jue had a headache. "So you don't know where they went again?"
"Yes. Her AI has been in a state of no signal."
"It's no use telling me. That girl can't possibly come here to me, can she?"
"This is information that the military also knows. Marshal Ling is currently overwhelmed and probably doesn't have time to tell you, so I came specifically to inform you," Jing Li said with a smile. "Regarding the private information I obtained through special channels, we already know her whereabouts."
Ning Jue frowned. "Where?"
"Zerg".
Ning Jue inexplicably thought of a certain butterfly who had vowed to travel to the Zerg one day: ...She actually went.
"The Zerg have been having a stuffy nose with messages. How do you know?"
“So it’s through a special channel.” After Jingli finished speaking, she felt that if she didn’t reveal something without exposing her teacher, the other party might not reply, so she added, “She made the character card herself, and that card is still on the Imperial Capital Star. His perception is never wrong.”
Ning Jue: "...What do you need me to do?"
"Not at the moment. After all, we can't get in touch with her. It's just that if she wants to return to the Federation, she can only cross the front lines. I'll trouble you, General, to keep an eye out for her."
"Why would you be so kind as to save her?"
"After all, I still need her help with some things. Only she can help me with those things."
"I see."
After ending the call, Ning Jue strode to her room, took out a communication card, and channeled her mental energy into it. "I heard you really went on a trip to the Zerg?"
