"It's me, but I have no choice," the Zerg Empress explained uncomfortably.
Because of the incident where her identity was exposed last time, Lu Yang began investigating the Empire. It used to be that he only targeted high-level planets, but now he was even investigating remote ones. She felt restless. If this continued, all the Zerg’s informants in human society would be rooted out.
"What kind of no choice?" Lu Wanqing prompted.
Lu Wanqing tried to stall for time while also trying to send a message to Zhong Li Feiyu.
Her third brother was still in the Empire and couldn't rush over immediately. Zhong Li Feiyu, however, was a General in the military, and he had encountered the Zerg Empress before. If Zhong Li Feiyu were to come, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
"Don't bother, since I dared to show up, I've already blocked all signals in your room," the Zerg Empress seemed to have seen through Lu Wanqing's thoughts and reminded her calmly.
Lu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and her spirits plummeted.
The Zerg Empress sized Lu Wanqing up for a long while before suddenly questioning, "Why didn't you call out?"
In her own home, facing danger, why didn't she shout for help?
Lu Wanqing naturally couldn't call out. She couldn't even make much noise. The children were all inside the house. If she were to scream, the children would definitely come running, and then everyone might fall into danger.
Lu Wanqing wasn't afraid of her own safety, but if the children were involved, she couldn't remain calm.
So, even if the sky were to fall, she had to endure it, not make a sound, and not let the children next door sense that something was wrong.
The next moment, Snake Wanwan’s delicate hand touched Lu Wanqing’s cheek. She praised, "As expected of the woman he fancies. You're unlike ordinary women and meet his standards."
"Since you're so clever and unwilling to call him over, then I can only take you away," Snake Wanwan said abruptly.
Lu Wanqing's expression changed slightly, a bad premonition rising within her. "What do you want to do..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her wrist hurt as Snake Wanwan injected something into her. Her vision blackened, and she couldn't even speak.
The next moment, a wormhole appeared in her room. The Zerg Empress pulled her and vanished into it!
This was an artificial wormhole!
Lu Wanqing was shocked. Previously, Zhong Li Feiyu and Wei Xingzhou had used an artificial wormhole to sneak into Earth to save her. But this was a brand new project, one that even the Federation and the Empire hadn't fully understood. They could only risk opening a wormhole in extremely dangerous situations, with no guarantee of its safety.
Yet now, the Zerg Empress could easily create a wormhole. She was stunned. Surely there were Zerg agents among the Federation and the Empire, otherwise, how would the Zerg Empress know such secrets of the human world?
However, Lu Wanqing soon had no time to ponder this question, because when she exited the wormhole, she found herself directly on a Zerg planet!
Why was it definitely a Zerg planet?
Because they were in a cave-like palace, with many guards in circular formation lining the main corridor.
"Is this... the Zerg planet?" Although she was almost certain, Lu Wanqing still asked in desperation.
The Zerg Empress ignored Lu Wanqing and walked straight towards the throne.
Lu Wanqing said coldly, "Snake Wanwan, you know my identity. Are you not afraid of public outrage by capturing me twice?"
Snake Wanwan sat on the throne, turned her head to look at Lu Wanqing, and smiled, "Lu Wanqing, has anyone ever told you that your eyes hold a clear kind of foolishness?"
"Heh, I am the Zerg Empress, and I am sworn enemies with humans. Those backers you think you have, if they were truly capable of killing me, why didn't they do it before?" Snake Wanwan said with a laugh.
Lu Wanqing frowned.
A Zerg subordinate brought some fruit. Snake Wanwan said, "Have some. Don't say I treated you badly."
Lu Wanqing glanced at the fruit. It was all fresh.
"What exactly do you want?" Lu Wanqing pressed again.
Snake Wanwan looked at her and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's nothing major. I told you last time that I wouldn't bother Lu Yang again, and I always keep my word. As long as I remember what I said, I will fulfill my promise."
The Zerg Empress never gave Lu Wanqing an explanation. After eating the fruit, she had someone take Lu Wanqing to a small dark room and put her under house arrest.
"Hey," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but speak.
The Zerg Empress stopped and looked back at her.
Lu Wanqing said, "Did you go to the Abyssal Star last time because you wanted to infect Alice?"
The Zerg Empress stared at Lu Wanqing at the mention of Alice.
Lu Wanqing met her gaze unflinchingly, her eyes locked with the Zerg Empress's.
After a long while, the Zerg Empress smiled and said, "Yes, so what?"
Lu Wanqing frowned, unhappy. "Alice is a good child. You can't ruin her."
"You mind your own business," Snake Wanwan said coldly. The next moment, she got off the throne, turned, and left.
Lu Wanqing instinctively wanted to follow, but she was stopped by staff at the doorway.
After the Zerg Empress left, Lu Wanqing grew increasingly anxious. Her sudden disappearance must have worried everyone.
She hoped Snake Wanwan's scheme wouldn't trick her third brother and everyone else.
As she thought, Lu Wanqing's gaze fell upon the machines in the room.
Although they were Zerg, the interstellar era was technologically advanced, and the Zerg had many machines.
Lu Wanqing inexplicably felt the urge to cause chaos. If she could disable a few robots and find a way to connect to the network, she could send a message to her third brother and the others.
So, for the next week, Lu Wanqing remained silent and didn't cause trouble. She was busy tinkering with the robots, trying to find a way to escape.
A week later, Snake Wanwan returned, looking pleased. She handed Lu Wanqing a document and said happily, "Lu Wanqing, look. Ah Yang truly does everything he can for you."
Lu Wanqing glanced at the agreement, then looked up at the Zerg Empress.
As the Zerg Empress spoke, she suddenly turned and rushed into the bathroom, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Wanqing felt tense just watching. Would the Zerg Empress die like this?
However, the Zerg Empress seemed unfazed. After spitting, she casually wiped her mouth with a tissue and was fine.
The Zerg Empress left again soon after. She had returned briefly, it seemed, just to share this good news.
After the Zerg Empress left, Lu Wanqing could finally relax and openly use electronic devices. While it seemed like she was just playing, she was actually using her own channels to contact the outside world and find help.
Only after sending the message did her uneasy heart begin to settle.
