Half a month after the Zerg invasion, Lu Yang finally personally went to war.
As the situation continued to escalate, this Zerg invasion far exceeded humanity's expectations. If it wasn't contained in time, the entire interstellar could be controlled by the Zergs, and by then, there would be no space left for humanity to survive in this universe.
Not only Lu Yang, but even Tian Xing participated in the battle. Everyone capable rushed to the front lines at the first moment, doing their best to annihilate the Zergs.
Lu Wanqing did not truly possess the ability to confront the Zergs, so Lu Yang arranged for her to stay in the palace of the imperial capital.
The palace had the highest defensive capabilities, and no Zerg could easily invade it. As long as the empire did not fall, Lu Wanqing would be safest here.
However, staying in this safe place, Lu Wanqing's heart could not find peace.
Due to the Zerg invasion, the interstellar network systems of countless planets across the galaxy were even damaged. Many people on various planets could no longer access the interstellar network, and there were far fewer people online.
Cross-planet express delivery had also stopped completely. Now, when purchasing goods online, they could only buy from the capital planet itself. This was only because the capital planet had not yet been invaded by the Zergs and was still safe. The daily lives of people on other planets had been severely affected. They could not shop online at all and could only rush to physical stores to buy food, such as nutrient solutions, various ingredients, in short, any edible food was bought up by everyone.
Not only food, but also many other supplies, such as clothes, were also being looted by the masses.
Now, most planets in the entire galaxy were in a state of panic.
Lu Wanqing's heart grew more and more uneasy. She worried about her third brother's safety, more and more.
In the beginning, she could still contact her third brother through her optic computer and confirm that he was safe and sound, which gave her some peace of mind.
But after a month of continuous war, she completely lost contact with her third brother. No matter how many messages she sent, there was no response from his end.
Lu Wanqing panicked. Staying in the imperial palace, she became increasingly restless. Every day, she stood at the entrance of the palace, waiting for her third brother to return. But as days passed, she saw no sign of him, nor any information from her optic computer. She could not wait any longer.
Harvey said that they could go out to find their little father.
Lu Wanqing knew this was wrong. She and Harvey were both weak, one small and the other weak. It was impossible for them to fight the terrifying Zergs outside. But she still couldn't control herself. She just wanted to go out and see, even if it was dangerous. She wanted to be by her third brother's side. Only by being with her third brother and constantly confirming that he was alive and well could she feel at ease.
Lu Wanqing finally found Xavier. She asked Xavier to take good care of Harvey.
Xavier looked at her strangely: "Do you know your limits?"
Lu Wanqing felt distressed.
"I know I'm no match for those Zergs, but..."
"If you go out, you will only bring danger to His Majesty," Xavier said.
"I know," Lu Wanqing said. She felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife. It was precisely because she knew this that she did not insist on going out with her third brother. She obediently listened to her third brother's words and waited for him in the palace.
Her third brother treated her so well. If she went out, she would be like a target, her third brother's weakness. Those who dealt with her third brother would then be able to distract him by attacking her, exposing her third brother's weakness and making him vulnerable to attack.
"But he hasn't had any news for several days. I can't control the fear in my heart. I'm really worried..." Lu Wanqing's eyes welled up with tears.
Lu Wanqing didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help herself. Tears fell uncontrollably.
Xavier paused slightly. After a long time, he reached out his large hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Do you like him that much?" Xavier asked.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
"If you go out, you might die," Xavier said.
"I'm not afraid," Lu Wanqing said.
"Don't worry, he's still alive," Xavier suddenly said.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Xavier said seriously: "I have news, I can guarantee you that he is alive right now, and his condition is not bad."
"Lu Wanqing, he is more powerful than you imagine. Trust him," Xavier said.
Lu Wanqing was shocked, then excited: "Do you really know? Where is he now? How is he?"
"His network system there was completely destroyed by the Zergs, which is why he couldn't contact you," Xavier said.
Lu Wanqing's head buzzed, but she couldn't help but feel happy. So that was it? Her third brother was fine.
"But it's hard to say in the future," Xavier said after a moment of silence.
Lu Wanqing froze, then her whole being felt unwell. She anxiously asked, "What do you mean?"
Xavier looked behind Lu Wanqing, where a person was standing. It was young Harvey.
Seven-year-old Harvey was already quite tall. Perhaps in a few more years, he would be as tall as Lu Wanqing, a young man.
Lu Wanqing noticed his gaze was off and turned her head, only to see Harvey.
Xavier quickly withdrew his gaze and continued, "This Zerg invasion looks fierce, but after Lu Yang went out, the Zergs' reactions were very strange."
"How strange?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
Xavier frowned, appearing lost in thought. After a while, he shook his head, "I'm not too sure myself. It might just be my imagination."
"Tell me exactly what's going on," Lu Wanqing said anxiously.
Xavier looked at Lu Wanqing and finally took out a cosmic map, saying, "Come here."
Xavier stood in front of the cosmic map and began to analyze it with Lu Wanqing bit by bit.
Where the Zergs were first discovered, and then which planets they invaded on a large scale, Xavier explained patiently to Lu Wanqing, point by point.
The scope of this Zerg invasion was vast, with many planets being invaded. Therefore, at the beginning, it gave everyone the impression that a full-scale war between humans and Zergs was about to break out in the galaxy.
But this situation suddenly changed after Lu Yang left the imperial palace and appeared on the battlefield.
On planets far from Lu Yang, the Zergs were quickly eliminated by the army, or rather... they seemed to have withdrawn on their own.
Conversely, the closer the planets were to Lu Yang, the more Zergs gathered there.
"You mean, those Zergs were heading for my third brother?" Lu Wanqing asked, her face turning pale.
Xavier remained silent.
"Little Father is amazing!" Little Harvey walked over and said loudly.
Xavier said in a low voice, "He is amazing, but no matter how amazing he is, he is still only one person."
"Not just one person," Lu Wanqing said.
"Everyone from Tian Xing went to help him!" Lu Wanqing said.
The people of Tian Xing were different from those on the planets below. They had a lot of high-tech equipment, which was super powerful and might be able to deal with the Zergs.
Xavier nodded: "Well, so I'm not sure if they can ultimately defeat the Zergs."
