Lu Wanqing's heart leaped into her throat. She stared at the Zerg Empress, holding her breath for a long moment before admitting, "Yes."
The Zerg Empress fixed her gaze on her. "What if I don't agree?"
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing instinctively pulled the water pouch in her hand behind her. She wanted to save Earth, but she also didn't want the people around her to be harmed, especially someone who had fallen into the Zerg Empress's hands while saving her.
Lu Wanqing turned and went to grab the Super 3S mecha.
The Zerg Empress watched with amusement.
Lu Wanqing knew she was no match for the Zerg Empress. Even with the Super 3S mecha, the person before her was someone even Zhong Li Feiyu couldn't defeat. How could she, with no battlefield experience, possibly win?
Yet, the Zerg Empress didn't stop her from getting the mecha. She just watched her, as if not considering her an opponent at all.
Lu Wanqing took a deep breath and turned to Cui Cui. "Cui Cui, hide in the house and don't come out."
However, when she turned, Lu Wanqing discovered that Cui Cui had also taken out her small mecha. The cockpit door was already open, and the child was climbing inside.
"Cui Cui!" Lu Wanqing exclaimed in alarm and quickly called out.
"You two mother and daughter can come at me together. I'd like to see what level you're both at," the Zerg Empress said leisurely at that moment.
Lu Wanqing: "!!!"
"I'll fight you alone. Cui Cui is just a child," Lu Wanqing said.
"Don't worry, I won't harm her," the Zerg Empress said, a rare utterance.
Lu Wanqing froze, then felt a complex mix of emotions. What did the Zerg Empress mean?
Regardless, they had reached this point. Lu Wanqing had to try.
"Cui Cui, don't come over," Lu Wanqing commanded, thinking.
How could Cui Cui listen?
Her mother was going to fight the Zerg Empress and might die. She couldn't let her mother fight alone!
The Zerg Empress saw Lu Wanqing's hesitation. With an extra child involved, Lu Wanqing, as a mother, would naturally worry.
The next moment, the Zerg Empress opened her communicator and tapped twice.
A few minutes later, two Zerg soldiers arrived. "Your Majesty!"
The Zerg Empress glanced at the two soldiers and coldly ordered, "Keep an eye on this human cub. Don't let her interfere in our fight."
"Yes!" the Zerg soldiers immediately agreed.
Lu Wanqing's heart tightened as she stared at the Zerg Empress. "You!!"
"Get into your mecha and let me see your strength!" the Zerg Empress said.
What strength did Lu Wanqing have?
Her only actual combat experience was the last time her third brother brought her to Earth, and she had piloted the Super 3S mecha to fight many mutated beasts.
Mutated beasts were ordinary animals, so she could handle them easily. But the Zerg Empress was different; she was the queen of the Zerg.
Lu Wanqing, with a steely resolve, got into the mecha.
"Mommy!" Cui Cui cried anxiously from the side.
The two Zerg soldiers held Cui Cui back, preventing the child from joining the battle.
Lu Wanqing looked deeply at Cui Cui and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry."
She knew she couldn't win, but she still didn't want Cui Cui to worry.
Outside Earth, all the humans watching the live broadcast were stunned. Shock turned into worry, and many excitedly posted messages on the public screen.
"Goddess, don't be foolish! Admiral Feiyu is back, he's fine. Don't take risks!"
"Goddess, you can't beat the Zerg Empress, come back quickly!!!"
"Ahhh, I'm so anxious! Goddess can't beat the Zerg Empress, she definitely can't beat her, what should we do?"
"Why is the Zerg Empress so insidious? She clearly let Admiral Feiyu go but didn't tell the Goddess and wants to fight her instead. Did she get the water and now wants to kill the Goddess?"
"Where are the armies of the Federation and the Empire? Why haven't they rescued Lu Wanqing yet!!!"
"Ahhh, heaven bless us, I hope my Goddess remains safe!"
On the military battleship, Zhong Li Feiyu's expression was grim, and his feelings were complicated. He hadn't expected Lu Wanqing to risk her life fighting the Zerg Empress for him!
Zhong Li Feiyu was anxious but his mind remained calm. He quickly went to find Lu Yang.
They had been trying to find a way to enter Earth all this time, but simultaneously, they were also working hard to find a solution to the colossal star cannon the Zerg had been aiming at Earth.
As long as that colossal star cannon was dealt with, the danger would be averted. Whether it was a war with the Zerg or other methods, they wouldn't be so completely restricted by the Zerg as they were now.
However, this time, when Zhong Li Feiyu sent his message, he received no reply from Lu Yang.
Zhong Li Feiyu couldn't help but check his communicator repeatedly. Yet, as time ticked by, the communicator remained silent, with absolutely no response.
After an unknown period, Zhong Li Feiyu's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something, exclaiming anxiously, "Oh no, could His Majesty have..."
Just as Zhong Li Feiyu finished speaking, his communicator suddenly vibrated.
Zhong Li Feiyu jumped in surprise and quickly checked his communicator. Upon seeing it, he was completely dumbfounded.
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Yang, with extreme speed, eliminated the Zerg guarding the periphery of Earth and then piloted his spacecraft, instantly heading towards Earth.
***
On Earth.
A dark forest, dark soil, everything was pitch black, exuding an ominous feeling.
Lu Yang sat in his spacecraft, speeding forward. The scenery below flashed by. When the spacecraft approached a forest with greenery, it abruptly descended.
On Earth, Lu Wanqing was already sitting in her mecha. She piloted it, nervously watching the Zerg Empress opposite her. More accurately, a giant python as tall as a dozen-story building!
Lu Wanqing had no more retreats. She could only concentrate, recalling the methods her third brother had taught her, and attacking the giant python again and again!
She pushed her speed to the maximum, but the moment she got close to the giant python, its tail suddenly whipped out, and the mecha was instantly sent flying!
Lu Wanqing, inside the mecha, was in so much pain she could barely breathe, but she gritted her teeth and got up.
The Super 3S mecha could not only engage in close combat but also fire ion cannons remotely. Lu Wanqing opened the weapon valve and fired an ion cannon at the giant python in front of her!
At first, the giant python didn't take Lu Wanqing's attack seriously, but soon, its body was hit. It had actually been struck?
The Zerg Empress's body stiffened, but only for a moment. The look in her eyes as she regarded Lu Wanqing changed. As expected of the woman Ah Yang fancied, she did have some skills.
The Zerg Empress could charge forward and once again send the mecha flying with a snake-tail. She was confident that Lu Wanqing's meager abilities wouldn't be able to dodge it.
However, the Zerg Empress didn't charge forward. As if intentionally testing Lu Wanqing's shooting ability, she deliberately dodged Lu Wanqing's ion cannon from a moderate distance.
