Thinking that he had just chatted with a few of them without noticing anything amiss, Lian Han's lips twitched. "Who exactly said that the Zerg are low-intelligence, inferior life forms?"
“The government and the military,” Ming Yu replied quickly. “What you knew before was what the Federation wanted the public to know. Only in this way could they avoid causing public panic.”
"And now, this real world is opening up to you. Miss Lian, are you afraid?"
“Why be afraid?” Lian Han’s lips curled up. “I am Lian Han, not Shen Xinyue. Shen Xinyue is the princess of the Ling family, but Lian Han—she is someone who has struggled at the bottom for five years. No matter how treacherous the world is, it is not more treacherous than the human heart.”
Consider today a day of rebuilding her worldview. A jolt from reality is better than being forever misled and having a flawed understanding of the Zerg.
Moreover, Lian Han has always believed that the human heart is the most treacherous and unpredictable thing. Her past, Xiao Rui's departure, is a case in point.
"That's true. If no one interferes, these guys won't even be able to get to the capital star, let alone enter the Ling family's gate."
"So you're saying their disguise has an expiration date?"
"Miss is intelligent."
"What kind of insects are these?"
"These insectoids that resemble humans vary in strength. Since we don't know much about insectoids, we collectively call them humanoid insects."
Old Xing immediately exploded, "[Screw you, you bunch of idiots! Ahem, you're all making things up!]"
[You know?] This was the first time she had ever heard Old Man Xing swear.
[Of course I know! Those ignorant, self-righteous, petty, stubborn, and selfish fools!]
Lian Han: ...
Old Xing cursed for a while, but still felt unsatisfied, saying, "Xiao Han, when you reach 3S, you must give those guys in the military a good beating! A bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
[What exactly did they do?]
[I went through so much trouble to figure out the race and habits of these bastards, diligently handed them over to the military, and what did I get in return? Human-like insects? Why don't humans just call themselves insect-like humans?!]
Lian Han: ...
"So they're called humanoid worms just because they look like humans?"
"Correct answer."
"Who came up with this idea?" I can beat him up later to get revenge for being scolded by the old man today.
"Marshal Han Zhenghou".
[I knew that old bastard was up to no good! I'll beat him up later!]
Lian Han felt that she didn't need to communicate with the old man anymore today. He was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, and the kind that would only explode on her.
However, regarding this fellow's past grievances, Lian Han felt that once he had the strength and understood the whole story, he would definitely avenge the old man. The idea that past grievances shouldn't involve this generation was all nonsense.
Lian Han only knew that the old man's enemy was her enemy.
But those are things for the future. Right now, Lian Han looked at Ming Yu beside him and asked, "Do they have any weaknesses?"
"heart."
"That's not necessarily true." Old Xing said with a half-smile, "If you're unlucky enough to run into a worm with two hearts, you won't even know how you died."
Lian Han finally lost his temper. "So if you're not going to tell me, then shut up. I didn't come up with that weird name 'humanoid worm' anyway."
Realizing he had overreacted, Old Man Xing coughed lightly, "Ahem, that's exactly what I was going to tell you!"
[Ha! Liz is a Zerg?]
Old Xing said, "Yes. Most of my knowledge about the Zerg comes from her and another Zerg. The Zerg are a race even older than humans."
[Important.]
[Alright, let's get to the point. Once the Zerg reach adulthood, they develop a second form, which is what you see now. However, in this second form, their combat power is weakened, so they usually use their first form in battle. Therefore, it's not difficult for the Federation to mislead the public into believing that the Zerg are inferior life forms.]
[There is another possibility, namely the Ohmu. Ohmu are born with an appearance similar to humans, and as adults, they can even hide their vertical pupils, making them indistinguishable from humans.]
[For example, these people?]
This time, however, Old Man Xing denied it. "No. They are just ordinary adult Zerg. A Queen Zerg, if it wanted, could lie dormant among humans for eight or nine years without being detected, but these are not. Moreover, given the rarity of Queen Zerg, the Zerg race wouldn't want them doing such low-level tasks."
[How were they able to hide it so perfectly?] No one had noticed anything unusual before.
[have no idea. ]
[have no idea? ]
[In the memories of Liz and Kasper, who are also part of the Zerg, there was no Zerg that could temporarily disguise themselves as humans and approach perfection.]
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught off guard in the first place.
[And these...]
"They are the Zerg, that's a fact." Old Xing's voice was heavy. He thought he understood the Zerg, but reality slapped him hard in the face and pushed him to the brink.
Lian Han paused for a moment, then thought, [Whatever their reasons, if they dare to cause trouble for the Ling family, they're just asking for death.]
[That makes sense. But don't even think about making a move today. Just watch carefully how the Ling family deals with the Zerg.]
Lian Han silently ended the conversation, looked at the field, and immediately saw the flamboyant red. Was it his aunt?
Lian Han blinked and saw that the woman was decisive and ruthless, and she was not at a disadvantage against the two insectoids.
Noticing her gaze, Ming Yu said softly, "Madam Ling Wei was once known as the Rose of the Army. After getting married, she retired from the military and began to focus on managing the Ling family's business. Her fighting power is probably even greater than that of Young Master Ling. You don't need to worry at all."
"I'm not worried, I just admire my aunt's skills."
Hearing her say that, Ming Yu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. Yes, even if the later Heavenly Empress reached 3S and became a top-level card maker, only one step away from becoming a god, her close combat skills—were still trash.
Even when forced into close combat, this girl possesses absolute physical and mental superiority, and has never displayed any skill.
"why are you laughing?"
Mingyu clenched her fist and put it to her mouth. "Ahem, I just thought of something interesting. Miss envies Madam Ling. If you could have her teach you, she would definitely be happy to."
Lian Han raised an eyebrow and then rejected the suggestion, "I don't have the time or energy. No one can be omnipotent. My goal was set at the beginning, and there's no reason to waste time on anything else."
The goal is so clear.
“What you say is not wrong, Miss. After all, a person’s energy is limited.” Ming Yu’s brows relaxed, which was probably one of the reasons why she was able to succeed and even surpass that person in the end.
