But halfway through, Wei Xingzhou suddenly remembered that the Zerg Empress was on Earth, perhaps near Lu Wanqing and Cuicui. If he went over like this, would he scare Cuicui?
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou turned and ran back. Even if the sky fell, he wouldn't drag Cuicui down.
Wei Xingzhou quickly ran back to the cave. He was fast enough that his round trip went unnoticed by anyone, or rather, by the Zerg Empress.
Wei Xingzhou was still very worried. There had been such a huge commotion outside earlier, with so many trees falling. Could it be that Zhongli Feiyu, that idiot, had been discovered by the Zerg Empress?
Wei Xingzhou found his hands trembling slightly. He quickly opened the live stream and checked the situation. Lu Wanqing and Cuicui were inside the wooden house. The mother and daughter looked very nervous. They had clearly heard the commotion outside and were nervously watching their surroundings. However, Lu Wanqing and Cuicui were safe for now; nothing had happened to them.
So, it must have been Zhongli Feiyu, that idiot, who was in trouble.
Wei Xingzhou hurriedly messaged Zhongli Feiyu, sending several messages in succession, but received no reply.
Wei Xingzhou was frantic. After hesitating, he quickly opened Lu Yang's contact information and called him.
Among the people he knew, Lu Yang was the most powerful. If Zhongli Feiyu truly needed saving, only Lu Yang might have a slight chance of rescuing him.
However, his call went unanswered.
Wei Xingzhou felt uneasy, a very ominous feeling.
But this ominous feeling didn't last long. About half a day later, his optical computer suddenly vibrated. Someone was calling him.
Wei Xingzhou quickly opened it and saw that it was Zhongli Feiyu. He let out a heavy sigh of relief and quickly answered the call.
"I'm fine," Zhongli Feiyu explained as soon as the communication connected.
Wei Xingzhou's tense nerves relaxed. He scrutinized Zhongli Feiyu's projection up and down, and after a while, he seemed to notice something amiss and asked, "Why aren't you wearing the gorilla suit?"
On the other side, Zhongli Feiyu was silent for a moment, then explained, "I was discovered by the Zerg Empress."
Wei Xingzhou's face changed drastically.
Zhongli Feiyu quickly explained, "But I'm not hurt. The Zerg Empress fought me, and I lost. She captured me, then threw me off Earth. I'm back at the military camp now."
Wei Xingzhou's mind buzzed. After a while, he couldn't comprehend it and asked, "What do you mean? You mean the Zerg Empress captured you, but didn't kill you or eat you, just threw you off Earth?"
Zhongli Feiyu nodded. "Mm."
Wei Xingzhou: "..."
"The Imperial Majesty was planning to negotiate with the Zerg Empress and enter Earth with her, but for some reason, the Zerg Empress did not agree," Zhongli Feiyu continued.
"Wei Xingzhou, the Zerg Empress has already discovered me. She seems very angry and dislikes us entering Earth and interfering with her plans. You must be extremely careful from now on. Never let her discover you. The Zerg Empress is, after all, a Zerg. If she truly turns hostile, you, Lu Wanqing, and Cuicui will all be in great danger," Zhongli Feiyu warned.
"Wait, why didn't the Zerg Empress agree? And she just decided not to agree? Lu Yang... I mean, His Majesty the Emperor, his strength is not something ordinary people can compare to. Even if a hundred Zergs came at once, he wouldn't be afraid, right? Would someone like him be afraid of the Zerg Empress?" Wei Xingzhou quickly retorted.
Zhongli Feiyu sighed and explained to Wei Xingzhou in detail how the Zerg Empress had already arranged for an heir.
Wei Xingzhou was furious after hearing this. He had said that the Zergs wouldn't be so simple-minded; they must have had a lot of tricks up their sleeves and were not good people!
Zhongli Feiyu looked at Wei Xingzhou and said, "Wei Xingzhou, the Zerg Empress should have returned to Earth by now. You must be especially careful from now on and absolutely cannot be discovered by her."
Wei Xingzhou thought for a moment and quickly agreed, "Okay!"
*
Inside the wooden house, Lu Wanqing and Cuicui hid for three more days. During these three days, they lived in constant fear, afraid that something from outside would burst in and take their lives.
Fortunately, nothing happened during those three days.
The outside world seemed to have returned to its peaceful, serene state.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a long time before finally cautiously emerging from the room.
She had no choice. She and Cuicui had been confined to the room for so long that they would have gone stir-crazy if they didn't find a way to go out and see.
Worried that Cuicui would be in danger if left alone in the house, Lu Wanqing hesitated, and in the end, brought Cuicui with her.
She had no choice. The commotion outside a few days ago sounded truly terrifying. If there was something truly scary outside, she felt that even hiding in the house wouldn't make Cuicui safe.
On the Star Net, everyone watching this scene was extremely worried. They didn't know that the giant gorilla from before wasn't actually a gorilla, but Admiral Zhongli Feiyu disguised to enter Earth. They, like Lu Wanqing and Cuicui, believed that the outside world was full of danger.
Lu Wanqing was very cautious and vigilant. Without realizing it, they arrived at the location where Zhongli Feiyu and the Zerg Empress had fought. Upon seeing it, both mother and daughter were stunned.
Lu Wanqing was a mecha master, and Cuicui had also owned a mecha, which her mother had given her.
After arriving at the scene, Cuicui observed for a while and quickly spotted familiar traces. She immediately said, "Mommy, it's mecha tracks!"
At this moment, Cuicui suddenly thought of Wei Xingzhou. Had Wei Xingzhou been here?
Wei Xingzhou was on Earth, so it was most likely him. But who would Wei Xingzhou have fought? How was Wei Xingzhou doing now?
Cuicui suddenly became anxious. She was worried.
Cuicui looked around anxiously, trying to find traces that Wei Xingzhou was alive and safe, but she didn't know how to look.
The surrounding area was severely damaged.
Cuicui's eyes welled up with tears. Had Wei Xingzhou... met with an accident?
Lu Wanqing was also searching for familiar traces to identify useful information, but as she looked, she suddenly noticed Cuicui crying. She panicked, quickly turned, crouched down, and hugged Cuicui. "What's wrong?"
"Mommy, Wei Xingzhou..." Cuicui looked at her mother, her eyes filled with tears, and instinctively wanted to voice her worries.
But Cuicui only managed to say the beginning before Lu Wanqing covered her mouth.
"Is Cuicui very scared and missing Father Wei Xingzhou?" Lu Wanqing asked.
Cuicui was smart. When her mother asked like this, she quickly realized that it wasn't certain that Wei Xingzhou was in trouble, and they were still being live-streamed by the big eyes. If it wasn't Wei Xingzhou, asking like this would expose the information that Wei Xingzhou was also on Earth.
"Yes, I'm so scared, Mommy, I miss Wei Xingzhou!" Cuicui suddenly changed her words, but her tears and worry couldn't be stopped. She hugged her mother and cried.
