Today, it has been nearly a month since the day Ling Yaoyao arrived at the Zerg king's lair for the first time to see Ling Xuan.
Since they successfully brainwashed 168 with an anti-Tarzhers policy, Ling Yaoyao's main daily task was to use 168's meat as the main ingredient of medicinal soup. She mixed it with various medicinal materials that are good for tempering the body and mental power and then fed it back to 168.
168 went from a huge meat mountain with a height of 1,000 meters to a little meat mountain with a height of only 100 meters. This was not because they had cut so much meat from the Zerg king.
In the beginning, 168 only drank Ling Yaoyao's medicated soup and did not grow any more meat. The soup it drank also had the effect of refining power and repelling impurities. Later, it was obvious that the meat cut from 168 was not too much, but its size was still getting smaller. The Zerg king's meat melted from its original squishy flabs, becoming firmer and chewier.
Simply put, 168 drank too much medicated soup. Its whole body was refined, and impurities were removed, making its initial puffiness gradually condensed into muscles.
Therefore, although 168's size has become much smaller, its strength has not decreased. Its speed has increased a lot, and its mental power and physical fitness have also greatly improved. It only takes one step forward to upgrade to SSS Plus officially.
The physique of fleshy peach worm Zergs, or most Zergs, have no bones. However, they have very tough shells and tendons.
168's tendons or meat that they cut and the Zerg shells after its evolution are all excellent materials for making mecha and battleship shells.
In order to have an extra layer of safety when traveling through the wormhole, Ling Xuan got his people to use 168's tendons and shells, forged them together with other precious mineral materials to make a layer of protective coating to the battleship's exterior.
In addition, Ling Yun and Ling Bo also got the additional Zerg king shell protective layer.
Ling Xuan quietly dispatched most of the elite troops of the Nighthawks to Yilan while properly arranging the garrison in the main star of Baijia.
The components of the Tarzhers blood in 168's body have also been completely eliminated.
Two days ago, the Zergs attacked the Imperial Capital, and this time it was very fierce. However, now the entire citizen of Imperial Capital are all soldiers. They are not afraid to fight Zergs at all.
In addition, Ling Tianyue was watching in a military star not far from the Imperial Capital. After Ling Xuan's reminder and with the permission of Ling Zhenghai and Ling Tianyue, the Gray Wolf Army had dispatched a lot of troops to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital. As soon as the Imperial Capital can't support itself anymore, they can come to help at any time. They can also quickly coordinate with other senior legions to dispatch elite troops to rescue the Imperial Capital. Generally speaking, the situation over there will not be too dangerous.
Xiao Ming might be able to gain some fame this time, but it was impossible to let him build a wild army.
If they want to completely eliminate the threat from the Zerg race and reveal the truth about the alliance between Xiao Ming and the Tarzhers Star Alliance, they still have to go to the Tarzhers Star Territory.
Now that everything is ready and the time is right, it's time to go to the Tarzhers Starfield!
The Zerg king, 168, feels that it is very happy now. Its whole body is light and fast, and its body is full of strength. After 168 left the dark nest, it saw the blue sky, white clouds, and green grass outside. Ling Yaoyao also gave it a special spiritual boosting medicinal meal, and the portion is very large.
Its mental filaments can extend wirelessly, sense the entire planet and even the state of the starfield surrounding Yilan. It can even go wherever it wants.
Fortunately, Ling Xuan's staff had collected the worm crystals on Molan. They also installed a space device that blocked all senses. Otherwise, if 168 smells the irresistible fragrance of Zerg crystal, it will definitely be unable to control itself and go to Molan to continue to eat.
In addition, the current Zerg king, 168, has been successfully domesticated by Nighthawks food therapists led by Ling Yaoyao. Not to mention human flesh, even if it is Zerg flesh, 168 don't like to eat it raw.
However, the attraction of Zerg crystal to 168 is still very great. After all, this is about whether it can continue to live without stopping.
Ling Xuan planned to wait until they could successfully remove all the human blood on the Zerg crystal and then hand it over to 168. Of course, on the premise that their cooperation went smoothly.
168 had known that Ling Xuan and other human bugs wanted it to take them to the Tarzhers starfield. These humans helped it to relieve the Tarzhers gods' blood pressure on it and also helped it improve its mental power and physical fitness. A good Zerg will keep its promises.
In fact, 168 is even more eager than Ling Yaoyao's group. Its flesh and blood have been refined to the extreme and cannot be cut anymore. Suppose it wants to taste the ultimate delicacy of fleshy peach worm in the future. In that case, it has to go back to the Tarzher starfield to become the real Zerg emperor. It has to raise the remaining few of its clan in captivity.
When 168 thought of a lot of food available to him after it went back to the Tarzhers starfield, 168 sucked some saliva, then its mental thoughts entered the main battleship's command room to say to Ling Yaoyao, "Ling Yaoyao little friend, I feel that my body is full of energy. I can make a space leap. Let's go! You guys have to keep up!"
168's mental thought was not blocked from Ling Xuan, so Ling Xuan also heard it. He directly ordered all battleships to self-check and prepared for departure.
A spatial transition is full of uncertainty. The danger is much greater than the normal wormhole vortex channel. Moreover, the power of the Zerg king 168 was spawned by unstable means. It is still impossible to establish a stable wormhole vortex.
Ling Yaoyao smiled and said, "Okay, please wait five minutes for us! I will tell you when to start the transition?"
The Zerg king 168 thought for a while and was afraid that these fragile human bugs would be lost. If they were lost in the wormhole, wouldn't it mean that no one would provide it with delicious food? 168 started a short jump, and its entire body appeared above the main battleship of the Nighthawks, which was over a thousand meters in length. The main battleship that was floating in the air sank slightly.
The Nighthawk main battleship is their latest research and development. Its load-bearing capacity is still very good, but its flight was impacted with such a small mountain of meat suddenly appearing on top of it.
Immediately afterward, the Zerg king 168 stretched out thousands of tough Zerg silks to "roll" the entire main battleship into its claws...
There were a series of instantaneous alarms in the battleship command room, "SSS level alert! SSS-level Zerg attack!"
Now 168 can also understand a little human language. A trace of its mental power was left in the battleship's command room. Before Ling Yaoyao, 012, and Ling Xuan could ask questions, 168 took the initiative to explain in a grieved manner. "Baby is just afraid that the space distortion force will make you get lost, so I just want to take you to fly together..."
Ling Yaoyao was ashamed. 168 was very thoughtful and powerful. Fortunately, 168 is no longer a kilometer-wide meat mountain. Otherwise, it would be an unbearable burden for the battleship!
Ling Xuan also calmly ordered 168, "...Although you have become much smaller, your weight is very heavy. Don't put your weight on my battleship. We are prepared to take off immediately."
168 responded in turn, then closed its nine huge eyes, plunged its mental power into the endless void, and began its journey home...
Ling Xuan stuffed Ling Yaoyao and 012 into a soundproof and shock-proof soft compartment fixed on the wall of the command room. This is to minimize the side effects caused by the spatial transition.
The cover of the shock-proof cabin is transparent. Ling Yaoyao can adjust her position mode, go to sleep, or look outside through the transparent cover.
Ling Xuan, Cheng Bin, and some other soldiers did not enter the shock-proof cabin but only fixed their bodies on the pilot and co-pilot seats on both sides. They wore special shock-proof soft armor and noise-reducing shock-proof helmets.
The armors' resistance is not very strong. The spatial distortion, oppression, bumps, etc., brought about by the space leap will cause great damage to their physical and mental domains, but there is no other way. Someone must be in charge during the space shuttle. If they encounter a critical situation, someone can give instructions to the main battleship's intelligent driving system at any time and even carry out manual driving if necessary.
The spatial distance from Human Star Territory to Tarzhers Star Territory is not close. Such continuous space transitions lasted for nearly a day.
There will still be a slight roaring sound even in the shock-proof cabin. Listening to it for a long time makes people mentally exhausted. From the beginning, Ling Yaoyao stared at Ling Xuan from a distance, fearing that there would be an accident in the middle of the journey.
However, Ling Xuan is very hateful. In the beginning, he shook his head through the shock-proof helmet and said to her very gently through the intercom device, "Don't look, baby. Go to sleep!" However, after a while, he ignored her! He did not even look back at her!
Four or five hours later, Ling Yaoyao couldn't keep awake anymore and fell asleep.
Although Ling Xuan didn't look back at her, he had always wrapped a trace of mental energy outside Ling Yaoyao's shock-proof cabin in case there was an accident.
As for why he didn't look at her, it was because the space pressure he felt had been increasing since they took off from planet Yilan. Don't say turning his head and talking. Even trying to move a finger is extremely difficult.
Ling Xuan's mental domain is very powerful, and his mental power is SSS plus level, which is even better than 168. He can stay awake all the time, but his body only has an SS plus level and no natural defensive shell. He could barely withstand the space shuttle intensity.
But he would never let Ling Yaoyao know his own discomfort.
Cheng Bin's mental strength and physical fitness were slightly weaker than Ling Xuan's. After Ling Yaoyao fell asleep, he couldn't support it anymore. Ling Xuan ordered a medical robot to send Cheng Bin into a shock-proof cabin, and then another senior officer came out from another shock-proof cabin to take over the co-pilot position.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough not to encounter any space turbulence storm in the space warp process, and there was no danger along the way.
It is said that Zergs has a natural keen perception of avoiding danger. It seems that it was indeed the case!
If they can use this power of Zergs in the future to build a stable wormhole vortex that connected the Huanuo Empire and the Tarzhers Star Territory, they can really consider a long-term trade.
Otherwise, the conditions Ling Xuan had promised to 168 before could only wait for 168 to come to Huanuo Empire to trade every once in a while.
One day later, the space leap finally ended. They had entered the Tarzhers Star Territory and started the normal flight mode. Only Ling Xuan was awake and persisted throughout the whole process. However, his face was completely bloodless at this moment.
Ling Xuan forcefully endured the pain that felt as if his internal organs were about to be dislocated. He calmly ordered the people in the shock-proof cabins to come out, but he did not ask Ling Yaoyao to come out immediately.
Ling Xuan asked Cheng Bin to lead the main battleship to fly slowly and scan the terrain of the Tarzhers starfield. Lu Lin was to send a covert communication signal to see if they could contact Wei Ling, who had previously given Cheng Bin a communication number. Li Nan drove a mecha out to see how 168 was doing and gave it the food they had prepared before.
As for Ling Xuan himself, he needs to lie down in the medical cabin for an hour to restore his body to its best condition.
168 was drooping on the top of the main battleship. The mental power-enhancing medicated soup had lost its effect on its body. 168's mental power was exhausted, and it felt as if it was dying. 168 was already collapsed on the battleship of the Nighthawks.
Fortunately, its body has been continuously tempered by medicinal therapy food. It has an extremely hard outer shell with excellent defensive power, so it has not suffered any serious injuries.
168 no longer has any mental power to investigate the situation in the command room, but it still recognizes the little human bug that often gives it food.
When 168 heard that this food was given to him by Ling Xuan, it was so touched! It felt more and more that it was not wrong to choose to cooperate with humans.
If Ling Xuan wants to kill 168, now is the best time. After all, 168 is now unprecedentedly weak, and the thermal weapons of human warships are extremely powerful. There is also no need to worry about accidentally hurting their compatriots in this space void.
After many days of study, 168 may seem silly and sweet, but it also understands many hidden truths.
However, it is willing to believe in the humans who have given it kindness, warmth, and good food. Fortunately, it has chosen the right one!
When Ling Yaoyao woke up and came out of the shock-proof cabin, she heard Lu Lin was reporting good news to Ling Xuan, "Boss, I have contacted Admiral Wei. He sent us the coordinates of an abandoned resource star. Are we going there?"
Ling Yaoyao didn't expect to be able to contact her father so soon after they arrived in the Tarzhers Star Territory. She could see him and her mother soon, and perhaps a younger brother or sister she had never met. She excitedly said, "Go, go. We want to go!"
Ling Xuan, whose body has been restored to normal, beckoned to Ling Yaoyao before ordering Lu Lin, "Go at full speed but slow down before arrival. First, send an elite vanguard team to land on the planet, find out the situation, and confirm if the news is reliable."
He promised to help her find her parents, so naturally, he would not break his promise. However, he would not joke about the safety of his entire battleship and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Ling Yaoyao understood the hidden meaning in Ling Xuan's words.
She slowly approached Ling Xuan and then looked at the communication officers in the command room. Little Brother Lu Lin looked another way, and Cheng Bin, in the co-pilot's position, was also concentrating on observing the star map...
The girl leaned over, gave a quick kiss on the Major General's cheek, and then stepped back. "Then, ummm, I'm going back to the lounge first."
Before the space leap, Ling Xuan took her to the command room because he was afraid that he was too far to take care of her in case of any accident.
As a non-staff member of the Nighthawks, she was actually not qualified to stay in the command room. She even made comments that interfered with the commander's will.
Who knows that before she could turn around, Ling Xuan pulled the girl over with his long arms and let her sit down on his legs.
He lowered his head and leaned close to her ear. He kissed the little white earlobe and said softly, "If it went well, after you find your parents, then you are not allowed to run to them. You have to help me speak more nice things about me..."
The movement was so loud that Cheng Bin and Lu Lin both saw it. However, they received Ling Xuan's warning with his cold eyes, and the two immediately turned around and pretended to be very busy. However, both of them stretched their ears to pay attention to their movements with a trace of energy.
Cheng Bin also cursed with a low smile, "Dog abuse again... this time it's the live version..."
Ling Yaoyao was extremely embarrassed and quickly struggled to get up.
Ling Xuan squeezed her small face and laughed softly, "You just played a hooligan on me. You were not afraid of them seeing it then, so you don't have to be afraid now."
Ling Yaoyao was very familiar with Cheng Bin and Lu Lin, so she dared to be so bold just now. But in the end, she was shy, and her clear and beautiful face turned red, especially the earlobes that had been kissed by Ling Xuan. Her squeezed cheeks also turned red and pink.
She still responded to Ling Xuan's request with a very low voice, "I know, I know."
In fact, she didn't want to expose her and Ling Xuan's relationship to her biological parents as soon as she found them... She thought it might be better to proceed step by step, and it should be easier for Wei Ling and Qian Yao to accept it.
But then she thought, in this world, the person who loves her most is Ling Xuan. She should only care about Ling Xuan's thoughts.
Although she is very eager to find her biological parents, the main reason is to repay their grace of giving birth to her and reassure the Wei family's grandparents. Wei Ling, Qian Yao, and her were not close. They didn't even know that their daughter was still alive. They had affection for the young Ling Yaoyao, but it was also towards the original owner.
How could she be willing to make Ling Xuan feel wronged and uncomfortable in order to please her biological parents, whom she had never been closed to?
Ling Xuan looked at Ling Yaoyao, snuggling in his arms, and his heart felt soft and sweet. He had to grind her inch by inch, "Where are the moonflower earrings that I gave you before? Can you wear them for me?"
Ling Yaoyao blushed even more but still obediently took out the small black box.
They are now in love with each other. Ling Xuan's first gift to her is as valuable as Ling Bo. These earrings really shouldn't stay in the box forever.
If she encounters danger in this unknown Tarzhers Star Territory, the mental power stored in these earrings might also be her way of retreat.
Ling Yaoyao complained in a low voice that Ling Xuan's confession was unqualified at the time. "I didn't know what it meant at the time... Later, I learned from a friend and thought you gave it to the wrong person!"
Then she wanted to return the earrings, but this guy pulled her into a room and used the excuse of being drunk to strong-arm her into a kiss.
Cheng Bin can ignore them, but he can't pretend that he is deaf. He suddenly stood up and said, "I have to go for lunch... The battleship can use the auto-pilot. I think it's okay if the co-pilot is missing for the time being."
By the way, he also pulled up the communication officer, Lu Lin, who had conveyed all Ling Xuan's instructions to the soldiers.
Although Lu Lin felt a little bit abused, he often watched these two people in the dark on the Star Network, and he was very accustomed to them. He still wanted to hear more, so he struggled innocently, "No, I'm not hungry!"
Ling Xuan looked at Lu Lin and said coldly, "You can still eat even if you are not hungry! You may not have time to eat when we get to that planet. Also, let the robot send two portions to the command room!"
This means they need to clear the field.
Cheng Bin took the gossiping little brother, Lu Lin, and left the command room. Ling Yaoyao was relieved. However, when she looked at Ling Xuan's powerful and slender fingers taking out the small and delicate red moonflower earrings from the box, Ling Yaoyao became nervous again.
Ling Xuan was actually very nervous, but looking at the girl's rare obedience to him, he felt very happy and sweet in her heart. His movements were very awkward, and it took a while before he managed to put the earrings on her.
Ling Yaoyao raised her hand and touched the moonflower earrings on her earlobes. She felt that she was completely able to accept the earrings now. There was no one in the command room, and she was able to let go of herself a little bit. She turned her face to face Ling Xuan. "Does it look good?"
Ling Xuan looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "It looks good!"
This is the first time the major general was in love. Even the words of praise were so dry and lackluster.
Ling Yaoyao's lips curled up, and her lovely smile looked so beautiful. She then asked softly, "Do I look good, or do the earrings look good?"
Ling Xuan's eyes suddenly became much deeper. Without answering, he kissed the bright red and soft lips that seduced him.
It was a lingering and sweet kiss.
Now that there is hope for finding his future father-in-law, Ling Xuan can't help but reveal a trace of his own thoughts and plans.
After a long kiss, Ling Xuan's voice was low and hoarse. "It would be good if you would be so behaved when I give you a ring in the future."
Ling Yaoyao's body suddenly froze. Huh? She's only nineteen years old. Getting married... isn't it too early!
