The light in the cabin was dim.

The expressions of the crowd were uncertain.

The child collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, Yang Yuying stared at his clothes for a long time, and Hugh Ke went to check the soles of the little guy's shoes again.

"You've been in the hold?"

The child's nose twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but cry, "Abba, Abba! Woooooo ”

He is the youngest son of Prince William's butler, and this time he stayed in the warehouse to watch the goods after he got on the ship.

Anyway, everything is in the warehouse, he is young, but he has a strong ability to take care of himself, so no one cares about him.

It wasn't until today that he heard the noise outside that he couldn't help but sneak out of the door, and when he came out, he saw such a big scene and saw his father's death.

The child was naturally frightened.

Seaman and Edward sat side by side at the table, all but the crew and sailors who had to do their jobs.

The smell of blood seemed to fill the air.

For a while, no one spoke, and the environment became quieter and colder.

Devin and Jason obviously knew something, but Grand Duke Edward didn't ask, and the others, though terrified, kept all their panic in their stomachs.

Yang Yuying got up and looked at the ship next door through the window, from Moonlight Island, to the Rose, to everything that had just happened, all kinds of information and data were integrated in one place, slowly wandering in her mind.

On the day Edward left, she and Hugh suddenly realized that the mother worm was gone.

The hive is gone.

Under the cover of that unknown element, they couldn't find out the relevant information of the Zerg, but now that they have samples of this element, they know that the speed of dissipation of this element on the entire Moonlight Island is very fast.

Thanks to Yang Yuying's years in the Imperial City Division, she has developed a habit of being careful enough.

In the years when she had just graduated from the marshal, I am afraid that it would take two or three days for her to notice that something was wrong, and if that was the case, there would be no way for this boatload of people to live now.

"Why do they want to imitate those nobles?"

Yang Yuying tapped lightly on the tabletop, and her eyes swept over the ignorant face of the child on the ground.

Hugh Ke was stunned: "It's more convenient and easy to hunt?" ”

What else can the Zerg do? From the day they were born, they were devouring non-stop, and they did nothing but eat.

"Yes, it stands to reason that it should be for predation, but there is a problem." Yang Yuying's gaze swept over Edward, Seaman and the others.

"I ask you, how are the larvae that we fought today?"

"It's not completely grown, there are a lot of weak points, it's easy to find weaknesses, and it's easy to get rid of them."

Hugh Ke's eyes were still lingering on Jason, wondering if he was staring at this person, he could wait until Miss Bug, who didn't pay attention to Yang Yuying's question for a while, and only casually coped with a few words.

"By your and mine's standards, they're naturally weak."

Yang Yuying shook her head.

"We have all received professional education, standing on the shoulders of countless giants to study this race, the Federation and the Empire are about to break apart all kinds of analysis and crush it, and feed it directly to us, I can't wait for us to have ten years of experience in a year, and we usually have all kinds of actual combat simulations, actual combat exercises, and relevant propaganda courses at every turn."

"But what will the people of Archduke Edward behave in the face of the Zerg?"

Hugh suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at Edward in astonishment.

Edward didn't understand Yang Yuying's words at all, but looking at his embarrassed appearance, and looking at the appearance of his guards and the complete rout of the battle between the people, he also knew that they had no chance of winning in the face of the Zerg, even if they were young people.

Hugh frowned, a thought flashed through his mind, and for a moment he was a little incredulous.

Yang Yuying sighed: "Although I am surprised that the Zerg has evolved the ability to mimic, it is not incomprehensible, but I think that if it is just to hunt Edward and them, the Zerg should not spend so much effort." ”

Hugh didn't speak for a moment.

Yang Yuying smiled bitterly: "When will we be able to contact the reinforcements?" Still no connection signal from the star network? ”

Hugh Kene said: "I hope that the raw melons and eggs of the First Fleet must take out the strength to pursue us, and the speed is faster." ”

Yang Yuying was a little reluctant to speak for a while.

Her initial plan was to stabilize Miss Bug first, not to let those Zerg be born from the cocoon state, and then investigate whether Miss Bug has any other nests besides this nest, and when the reinforcements arrive, all kinds of antimatter weapons will be put into battle immediately, even if they are desperate, they will destroy all the Zerg in one go.

If possible, Miss Bug can be captured for research.

If you don't look good, then you don't have to think about it, only dead bugs are good bugs.

Don't look at Yang Yuying's gentle and amiable appearance when she communicates with Miss Bug, but her heart is actually full of murder.

Miss Bug does seem to have a human nature.

Yang Yuying even felt that it was very pleasant to communicate with her, and if it weren't for the current situation, they might have become very good friends.

"It's a pity that those who are not of my race will have different hearts."

Besides, it's not my race anymore.

The Zerg and the Terran are competing for survival resources, and if the Terran wants to survive, they must destroy the Zerg, even if one day, they suddenly find that the Zerg actually have wisdom.

They have evolved into intelligent beings, and it is possible that they have been intelligent from the beginning, but before, this intelligence was not connected with humans, and now their emotions have begun to converge with each other.

There are so many races in the universe, human beings live in this universe, and they have come into contact with thousands of aliens, as long as they can communicate emotionally and communicate, human beings tend to coexist peacefully with each other.

Only the Zerg are the common enemy of all races, and unless one day the Zerg change their nature, they will be like people again, and this will not change.

"I don't care if this thing was done by our bug lady or not, anyway, I have a little suspicion that they are not just impersonating those nobles to kill people, maybe it should be the other way around, they kill people for the sake of mimicry."

"The bugs want to be these nobles."

Yang Yuying said softly.

Hugh Ke nodded: "Whatever, it doesn't matter." ”

He didn't care what the bugs were trying to do, as long as they didn't all hatch out of the blue, forming a wave of bugs that would keep the Federation fleet in time to react.

The conversation between Yang Yuying and Hugh Ke, Edward couldn't hear it clearly, but his face turned pale at this time.

He was dazed, but with Yang Yuying's faint voice, he couldn't help but recall the scene just now, those people had his familiar faces, and they were so real.

For a while, the mood was surging - Yang Yuying could not care about the mimicry, but Edward was shocked.

"They're all disguised by something else? How can it be so similar? What do they want to do by pretending to be the nobles of the Chengdi Capital? ”

He was almost crazy, and suddenly thought of what Devin and Jason said just now, and immediately looked over and said, "Devon, what's going on here, what do you know?" ”

Dai Wen probably used a technique that hurt his body, his face was gray, and at this time, he calmed down the churning breath between his chest and abdomen a little, and said softly: "I have been studying art in Tiandao all these years, just two months ago, during those days of the Polar Ice Age, I accidentally bumped into a few friends, but these people didn't even recognize my face, and then I took the initiative to mention it, and they remembered." ”

"Edward, you know, I haven't been back for many years since I left the Principality of Luopu, and now it's normal for my former friends to forget about my appearance, so I didn't think much about it."

"But something happened that night."

Devin looked solemn, "Someone assassinated me on Tiandao that night, and if it weren't for Jason who happened to be at my house, I wouldn't have been able to escape." ”

His voice was low, his eyes did not look at Edward and them, only stared at his fingertips, although his tone was flat, Yang Yuying and Hugh Ke could hear that there was some concealment in his words.

Devon's expression was a little complicated, and for a moment he didn't know if he was explaining or just muttering.

"I found Jason when this happened, the two of us have been investigating, and Jason found that those guys can disguise themselves as others, and they can be disguised as well."

"However, I am a warlock, and I have been studying for so many years, staying in the institute twenty-four hours a day, and often being so busy that I don't have to worry about their methods."

"We also traced the clues and traced them to Moonlight Island, but unfortunately we were recalled to the imperial capital before we could find out. Hey, there was another accident on board. ”

Devon's words were calm and concise, and there may have been some soothing effect in his words, and Edward's mood was much more stable.

Yang Yuying looked at the sky, stood up lightly, stretched her waist, moved her shoulder blades, and said lazily: "Well, why don't you do what you should do?" The crew continued to sail, and did not rest, and rushed to the imperial capital as soon as possible. ”

Edward, Seaman: "......"

The two of them had something to say, but no one dared to refute the words of the eldest lady.

Edward was indeed like an arrow at this time, he always felt that the storm was coming, and maybe his peaceful time of nearly thirty years would be gone forever.

Eleven days later.

Archduke Edward's Victory enters the first port of the imperial capital.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is beautiful.

The ordinary people carrying work on the dock are bustling, of course, they don't dare to get too close to the Victory, the beautiful hull of the Victory, Cheng Liang's shell, will make ordinary people who beg for life every day daunted.

Looking out from the port, the huge walls are towering and the roads are smooth, but the air is not very good and the fog is hazy.

A rain had just passed, and the ground was a little muddy.

Edward hurried out of the boat, and heard a loud cheer: "My dear little Edward, you have finally returned, and your mother misses you very much." ”

He was greeted by Mrs. Hagen, his mother's housekeeper.

Edward turned sideways first, looked back, and saw that Yang Yuying and Hugh Ke were not there, and the uneasiness in his heart was even heavier.

When they were on the ship, Yu Yingjun and Knight Hugh behaved a little abnormally, especially Knight Huke, who was very irritable at first, and then ...... It's a little bit of a broken jar again.

It's really unsettling.

However, when I returned to the imperial capital, I felt the most familiar smell and saw my relatives, and the tense emotions along the way were still a little relaxed, and there was a slight smile on my face.

Not far away, Yang Yuying sat in a small restaurant in the port, slowly cutting a piece of pork chop to eat.

Hugh Ke ate more boldly than her, and poked her arm while eating: "Don't look at it, what do we care about so much, I think that this kind of sacrifice is very meaningful now, let them make a little more noisy, if the Zerg just want to disguise themselves as humans and dominate an indigenous planet, I raise my hands in agreement." ”

"Speaking of which, since the Zerg grew up on their planet, they should also be regarded as the natives of this planet, and we shouldn't care about the war between the natives."

Hugh Ke ate the pork chop and said vaguely, "Of course, when our fleet arrives, we will also fulfill our humanitarian responsibility to provide survival guarantee for the survivors after the Zerg are wiped out." ”

Yang Yuying: "......"

Along the way, she and Hugh discussed the current situation while reading the report of the flight detection robot.

Although they couldn't determine the reason, they had determined that the Zerg had disguised themselves as some high-ranking nobles of the Yonglan Empire and invaded the imperial capital.

Yang Yuying suddenly began to hesitate when she saw the imperial capital, especially the dense unknown substances near the palace.

If the situation of the Zerg invasion is not serious, there will be ten or eight of them, of course she will immediately expose this matter, immediately kill the Zerg, and unite with the high-level of the Yonglan Empire, and use their manpower to make the first layer of the Zerg barrier.

Based on past experience, the natives of many planets are cannon fodder in the fight against insects, but they are also very useful cannon fodder.

The energy they can burst out in the face of annihilation is often astonishing.

But in the current situation, the top of the Yonglan Empire may not be able to count on it!

Yang Yuying raised her eyes and looked around, the wharf was bustling, and the small people of Shengdou lived a normal and peaceful life.

If the marshal is there, he will not be as calm as Hugh.

He has always hoped to save as long as there is a point, not to mention people, even cats and dogs, he will also save them.

Xiu Ke glanced at Yang Yuying's expression, and scratched his hair a little frantically: "Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Now tell everyone, run, there is a swarm of worms lurking in the Yonglan Empire that will eat your body and soul and swallow everything you have. ”

"Of course we have a way to get them to believe, but if they do, where do they run? Where can I escape safely? How many people can our ship take? How many people can our weapons protect? ”

Yang Yuying was silent.

Both of them fell silent.

Hugh Ke didn't know whether to convince Yang Yuying or himself: "Actually, delaying is the best way to protect the natives of the planet, the later the insect tide breaks out, the better our chances of winning." ”

As he was talking, he heard the immature voice of a little girl next to him: "Big brother, buy a bouquet of flowers and give it to the big sister." ”

Hugh Ke hid the hideous expression on his face, and when he looked down, he saw a particularly cute little cub.

Blonde hair, big blue eyes, pure as the ocean.

The next moment, Yang Yuying placed a basket of red roses in front of her, almost more than a hundred.

Hugh Ke also stuffed all the desserts that Yang Yuying ordered to take away, and stuffed them all to the little girl.
