The Federation.
Lu Yang's light brain suddenly received a message. He was shocked, and without a second thought, immediately packed his things and set off to save Lu Wanqing.
The technology of artificial wormholes had been researched as early as the last time Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui were abducted by the Zerg Empress. It was just that at that time, this technology had not undergone thorough testing, and everyone could not guarantee its safety and effectiveness. More importantly, there were some flaws in the technology at that time.
However, a long time had passed. After joint research by the Federation and the Empire, this technology had been confirmed to be successful. Apart from the high cost of opening an artificial wormhole each time, this technology had almost no major drawbacks.
This time, Lu Yang directly used his identity as the Emperor of the Empire to obtain the right to use this project from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and directly opened an artificial wormhole to transport himself to the Zerg.
Lu Wanqing was originally imprisoned alone in a room. Suddenly, a wormhole vortex appeared in the room. She was stunned. Having experienced being suddenly taken away by the Zerg Empress last time, she was very vigilant this time. As soon as the wormhole appeared, she grabbed her tools for defense.
The wormhole was successfully established, and in the next second, Lu Yang emerged from it.
The weapon Lu Wanqing had raised froze. She widened her eyes and looked at her third brother in disbelief. However, it was only for a second. She quickly rushed forward and hugged her third brother.
Lu Yang also hugged her. The feeling of losing and then regaining her made them both feel like they had survived a disaster.
In the next moment, Lu Yang took out a small safety capsule from the spatial distortion, put Lu Wanqing inside, and then left with her through the wormhole.
Just like the Zerg Empress's previous appearance, Lu Wanqing's departure this time was also very sudden and silent, without alerting anyone.
They reappeared at the Imperial Academy of Sciences. This was their territory, and there was no danger.
However, Lu Wanqing was even more shocked by the wormhole technology. How scientific!
Lu Wanqing took off the safety capsule and then looked in the direction she had just come from. She had clearly come out from here, but now there was no trace of it.
"Third Brother, was that a wormhole just now? It's amazing!" Lu Wanqing said excitedly.
Lu Yang held her hand tightly, not letting go. "Mm."
Lu Wanqing's brain slowly recalled the events of that night. She quickly said to her third brother again, "Third Brother, the Zerg seem to have wormhole technology too. The Zerg Empress suddenly appeared in my room that day, and she took me away through a wormhole."
Thinking of what happened that day, Lu Wanqing's heart raced, and she felt scared.
"Wormhole?" Lu Yang was surprised.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Mm."
"When she left that day, she also turned into a giant python. It was terrifying," Lu Wanqing said.
Lu Yang looked at Lu Wanqing. His girl was intact, without a scratch. It was evident that although Snake Wanzai had abducted Qingqing, she had protected her very well and did not let her get hurt.
"When you entered the wormhole, were you wearing a protective suit?" Lu Yang asked.
Human bodies are very fragile and cannot withstand the pressure of wormhole travel. That's why he needed to put a specially made protective suit on Lu Wanqing when they returned.
But what about when Lu Wanqing was taken away by the Zerg Empress?
Lu Wanqing shook her head at his words. "No, but that day she wrapped me with her giant snake body, and I felt like I could barely breathe."
Lu Yang was surprised by this, then nodded after a moment.
The Zerg Empress must have used her own body to shield Lu Wanqing from the pressure of wormhole travel, which is why Qingqing was not injured during the wormhole travel, even without a protective suit.
"Let's go for a physical examination first," Lu Yang said to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing had been taken to the Zerg alone by the Zerg Empress. No one knew what the Zerg Empress might do. Perhaps she had secretly planted parasitic Zerg in Lu Wanqing's body? Or perhaps there were other issues, such as damage to Lu Wanqing's body?
Regardless of the situation, Lu Wanqing needed to be examined immediately.
The examination equipment was nearby. Lu Wanqing went for the examination. However, the examination revealed that there was indeed a parasite in Lu Wanqing's body, and it was parasitic in her heart.
A moment before the results came out, Lu Yang suddenly received a message, which was actually from the Zerg Empress.
[If you want Lu Wanqing to live well, do not tear up the contract at will.]
The examination results came out quickly, and Lu Wanqing was brought out of the examination room.
Lu Yang quickly put down his light brain.
"Third Brother, how is it?" Lu Wanqing asked nervously.
Lu Wanqing felt that she should be fine because she didn't feel any discomfort.
"It's nothing serious, just a bit of qi and blood deficiency. Rest for a few days and drink some supplements to replenish qi and blood, and you'll be fine," Lu Yang said with a smile.
Lu Wanqing had always trusted her third brother. Hearing this, she didn't think much of it and nodded with a smile. "Mm."
"Can we go home now?" Lu Wanqing asked.
Lu Yang smiled and dotingly rubbed Lu Wanqing's head, saying, "Let's go."
"Your Majesty." The examiner was anxious. The Madam has a parasite in her body. According to the rules, she should be... apprehended and isolated.
Lu Yang stopped in his tracks and then said, "I will take her back to the palace to rest for a while."
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he left with Lu Wanqing.
They took a hovercar all the way back to the Imperial Palace.
Everything seemed normal, but Lu Wanqing felt something was strange. The most significant thing was the examiner who suddenly rushed out when they were about to leave the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
In the following days, Lu Yang spent most of his time with Lu Wanqing in the palace. After a week, Lu Wanqing became restless and wanted to go out.
"Qingqing, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Rest for a few more days," Lu Yang stopped her.
Lu Wanqing was silent. After a long while, she finally voiced her doubts. "Third Brother, is there something wrong with my body?"
Lu Yang froze at her words, then shook his head. "No."
Lu Wanqing gave a bitter smile and said, "Was I parasitized by the Zerg?"
She wasn't sick or injured. If there was something wrong, the most likely cause was Zerg parasitism, as the Zerg were most skilled at this.
She knew that the Zerg Empress wouldn't have abducted her without a reason.
Also, the Zerg and humans were natural enemies. From the information brought back by Wei Wei from her past life, it was known that humans and Zerg could never coexist peacefully. Even without open warfare, there would always be various conspiracies and schemes in secret.
The only thing she didn't expect was to be tricked by the Zerg Empress this time, and in such a manner.
"I will find a way to solve it," Lu Yang said comfortingly after a long silence.
