StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 145 8nd Floor Underground

The remaining Zerg army numbered around 90,000, but the large number of them caused a problem.

Difficult to manage.

Andor consolidated the remaining Zerg into several squads and handed them over to other Zerg for temporary management, while Shen Qingqing and Lia followed behind the main force.

"Queen Insect, what do you think?" Andor unfolded a flat map. "This is a map of the city-state, containing all the information about the port. Should we settle here temporarily or continue on our way..."

Shen Qingqing glanced at the Zerg who had gone through thick and thin with them and still hadn't rested, "Let's take a break for a while, everyone's tired."

Almost all the Zerg were enjoying a rare moment of peace. The scene was completely different from the bustling one of the past. There wasn't a single Zerg resident on the street, or even a single animal.

"We don't know what information the elders had released before that caused the town's residents to leave."

Andorra made a rough estimate of the number of cocoons in the city-state and found that the number on the list was much lower.

Moreover, there were no Zerg corpses nearby.

Perhaps they left the city-state.

“What else could it be? It’s probably some message to make the Zerg flee,” Leah said, used to this kind of thing. “When disaster strikes, everyone flies away. The Elders aren’t stupid. As long as one Zerg is alive, their status won’t change, so of course they’ll make the civilians leave and flee.”

Then he raised his chin, gesturing for them to look into the distance, "Look, there seems to be something over there."

Andorra used his prosthetic eye to scan and discovered that they were wild beasts scurrying about.

But it's not a big problem.

After the fleeing beasts left, the insectoids, who had rested enough, suddenly discovered that their queen and her assistants were gone.

"Captain, the Queen and her assistant officer are missing!"

"The test subject also disappeared along with them; I think her name was something like Leah."

"My lord, has the Queen Insect abandoned us and left?"

"Are we Zerg really going to be wiped out?"

……

Three Zerg who had participated in the meeting disappeared in a row, and the Zerglings began to speculate about the reason.

Most Zerg players believe that the Zerg Queen abandoned them.

A small number of Zerg players still stubbornly believe that the Zerg Queen has only left temporarily and will return soon.

With the two factions deadlocked, Captain B finally gave the order.

"Quiet!"

"The Queen has most likely defected, and now we're the only Zerg left, so everyone must take my orders..."

Before he could finish speaking, an insect interrupted him.

"Captain, what makes you say that the Queen has abandoned us? Do you have any evidence?"

Captain B, whose speech had been interrupted, was very dissatisfied and glared fiercely at the huddled Zerg.

If he wasn't mistaken, those were insects from Fleet A.

His expression darkened, then he raised his head, grinned, and said in an almost seductive tone, "The Queen Insect is gone. She won't take insects that can't bring her fame and status. But I'm different. I'm your captain, your partner who has gone through thick and thin with you, so..."

"Kill these Zerg who are spreading these heresies, leave no one alive!"

……

"How is this going……"

Shen Qingqing covered her head and got up from the ground.

Looking around, he saw Andor and Lia lying on the ground not far away.

"Are you two alright? Wake up, don't sleep."

But there was still no response.

They reached under their noses and found they were still breathing; they were alive.

But why hasn't he woken up yet?

Shen Qingqing tried hard to recall everything that had happened before, only remembering that a horde of beasts came while they were resting, and then the captain who had caused trouble for Leah came over and told them that they had discovered other insectoids...

Then, everything went black, and when I woke up, I was here.

It looks like a closed space.

Shen Qingqing looked at the needle marks on her arm. It seemed that there were quite a few traitors within the Zerg, and even the captain had been subdued and was working for them.

Andorra's body may have been attacked; a horrific scar spread from his shoulder to his abdomen, revealing the cut lines on his body.

Leah had dried blood on her head, which looked like a mark left by a deliberate act of revenge while she was unconscious.

Shen Qingqing laboriously dragged the two of them to the side, and vaguely heard faint sounds coming from above their heads.

"Hey, is anyone there? We're here!"

I called out several times but heard no response; the space was filled with her echo.

"Old Eight, wake up! I need help!"

At the critical moment, she didn't forget that she had a system, and quickly started calling for help on the spot.

[Host, stop yelling, the signal is bad here]

Old Eight lazily poked his head out, [and even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save us.]

Then he told Shen Qingqing about the location of the place.

This is the underground laboratory that the Zerg dug to explore the Earth's core and inner workings. It's quite a distance from the surface, so no matter how much you shout, they won't hear you.

"You know what's going on, right?"

Shen Qingqing asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Why are the three of us suddenly here?"

Sigh, you've been tricked.

Then, Lao Ba told them about the news he had just overheard.

[I just heard this. While you were unconscious, that captain said the information network had been cut off, and that it suited his purposes... That's all I heard.]

The Eighth Prince helplessly shrugged, "[It can only be said that these old nobles value power too much and are unwilling to share even a little bit with you.]"

"So this is the main reason why Andorra is currently in a coma?"

Shen Qingqing tried everything but couldn't wake him up; instead, she woke up Liya who was standing next to her.

"What are you saying? It's so noisy..."

Leah was still dazed and confused when she got up. Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, she thought she had arrived at the next stop, so she said, "Give me a glass of 1982 water..."

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground again, unconscious.

"How is she?" Shen Qingqing asked anxiously.

After the system was upgraded and its functions became more complete, Lao Ba gave her a full-body scan. The scan results left Lao Ba speechless.

It's nothing, she's just asleep.

Phew, okay, okay.

Then he asked, "What about Andorra? Could he be... asleep too?"

Old Eight looked at his machine thoughtfully.

[It seems his mental state was severely damaged after that information network was attacked. I'll try connecting to his central nervous system.]

After a while, Lao Ba's expression turned sour.

His phone is off.

He couldn't do anything even if the phone was turned off.

We can only reconnect after he comes back online.

"What if it doesn't go online?"

There's nothing I can do about that.
