Lu Wanqing caught a lot today, about three times her usual catch, as they would need to eat at night!
There were so many crawfish. Lu Wanqing couldn't stop smiling on the way back!
However, fate is unpredictable. As she just got back to shore with the crawfish, the sky suddenly rumbled with thunder. Little Zhong Liyi was startled and froze for a moment. He then turned to look at his mommy beside him and quickly calmed down. A brilliant smile then spread across his palm-sized face.
"Mommy!" Little Zhong Liyi suddenly ran over and happily tugged at his mommy's hem.
Lu Wanqing was slightly stunned. She lowered her gaze to meet the child's suddenly happy smiling face. She was a bit puzzled, not understanding why the child was suddenly so happy, and so very happy at that.
She glanced up at the sky, then back down at the child, hesitating, "Little Yi, do you like the rain?"
Little Zhong Liyi blinked slightly upon hearing this. He inexplicably thought of the past, before Mommy came, he was very afraid of the rain. But after Mommy arrived...
As Little Zhong Liyi thought, he inexplicably recalled that rainy night when Mommy quietly appeared in his room and helped him close the window. His heart felt warm. And then, later, when he secretly climbed onto a stool alone, pushed open the window, and saw the scenery outside, he realized the rain wasn't scary at all. The rain and lightning wouldn't hurt him. And Mommy was there. Mommy would come to close his window at night. Mommy cared about him.
"Yes, I like it!" Little Zhong Liyi nodded, saying happily.
He was no longer afraid of the rain. From today onwards, he would like the rain forever. With the rain came Mommy, Mommy loved him, Mommy would stay with him. It was very good.
Lu Wanqing was slightly surprised, but it was no big deal. Just as some people liked sunny days, others liked rainy days. The only question was... could they finish preparing dinner before the rain started?
Lu Wanqing was a bit worried, but the crawfish were already in the bag, and she couldn't bear to not cook them!
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing quickened her pace and got to work immediately!
She washed the rice and put it on to cook, asking Little Yi to watch the fire while she dealt with the crawfish herself!
Because she was eager to finish quickly, her speed in deveining the shrimp was double her usual pace today.
Occasionally, a rumble of thunder could be heard from the sky. Lu Wanqing looked up again, only to find that the sky was not dark, nor did it look like it was going to rain?
She found it a bit strange!
But she put aside other thoughts; time was of the essence!
Lu Wanqing cleaned the crawfish as quickly as possible, then returned to prepare the seasonings, put them in the wok, and started stir-frying!
"Mommy, it doesn't seem like it's going to rain," Little Yi seemed to sense Lu Wanqing's worry and said.
Lu Wanqing paused slightly, then nodded, "Yes."
Although there was thunder, there were no dark clouds. It really didn't look like it was going to rain, more like a dry thunderstorm!
Dry thunderstorms weren't uncommon. She had seen plenty of them back in the ancient Earth era, with just thunder and no rain.
As Lu Wanqing thought, her mind gradually relaxed, and she focused on cooking the crawfish.
The five-spice crawfish came out first, followed by the garlic-flavored ones!
Once the two plates of fragrant crawfish were out, the viewers in the livestream couldn't hold back, urging Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi to eat quickly and start their meal. They were all hungry!
It wasn't just the crawfish; even Little Yi's eyes were fixated on the plate of crawfish, his eyes shining brightly!
Lu Wanqing glanced at the comments, then at Little Yi, and smiled as she stood up, "Let's go, bring the dishes inside, we're eating!"
"Mhm!" Little Zhong Liyi nodded happily!
"You carry the crawfish, and I'll serve the rice!" Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
"Okay," Little Zhong Liyi agreed.
Lu Wanqing happily went to serve the rice, while Little Zhong Liyi picked up the plate of crawfish and happily walked into the house.
Just then, Lu Wanqing's personal terminal suddenly vibrated.
Lu Wanqing was slightly stunned. She opened her personal terminal and saw that it was a communication from Zhong Li Feiyu.
Had Zhong Li Feiyu found them?
Lu Wanqing was overjoyed and quickly moved away from the livestream camera to answer the call.
However, as soon as the call connected, Zhong Li Feiyu's anxious voice came through, "Wanqing, run! Take Little Yi, get into your mecha, and run!!!"
Lu Wanqing's mind went blank, and she asked blankly, "What?"
Zhong Li Feiyu said anxiously, "The Zerg! A large swarm of Zerg is heading your way, run!!!"
Lu Wanqing snapped back to reality. Without bothering to end the communication, she immediately turned and ran, her mind focused on one thought: Little Yi!
When Lu Wanqing returned to the house, the livestream automatically switched back to live mode, locking onto her and following her flight for continuous broadcasting.
Lu Wanqing's face turned pale. She rushed into the house and shouted at Little Yi, "Little Yi, get into the mecha, the giant panda!"
As she spoke, Lu Wanqing also hurriedly took out her super S3 mecha with trembling hands.
Little Zhong Liyi finally reacted and quickly took out his mecha, rushing inside.
Mother and son were both in their mechas.
The communication was still open, and Zhong Li Feiyu directly guided Lu Wanqing through the call, telling her which direction to escape!
Lu Wanqing, pulling Little Yi along, they fled quickly!
The viewers in the livestream were stunned, not understanding what was happening. Why were they suddenly running? Weren't they about to eat?
And their urgent manner, even getting into mechas, made it seem like something had happened!
Everyone's hearts grew tense.
In the livestream, the four old ministers of the Empire suddenly noticed. They looked towards the sky behind Lu Wanqing and Little Zhong Liyi. A dark cloud was approaching in the distance. Their faces also changed drastically – it was the Zerg!
Lu Wanqing ran ahead, while Little Yi, in his panda mecha, ran swiftly behind. Under Zhong Li Feiyu's guidance, they fled for a considerable distance.
"There's a cave ahead, hide in quickly!" Zhong Li Feiyu commanded!
Lu Wanqing quickly looked back at Little Yi and urged, "Little Yi, hurry into the cave!"
Little Zhong Liyi quickly agreed.
The mother and son hurried into the cave. Lu Wanqing finally had a chance to look back. At this sight, her face turned instantly pale. In the distance behind them, the sky above where their house was was now a dense black mass, but it was clearly not a cloud, but something else.
The rumbling sound from the sky grew more pronounced, but it was clearly not thunder, but the noise made by those strange creatures.
Lu Wanqing felt a surge of fear. Thinking of something, she quickly took out her spatial buckle and hastily found a piece of sturdy material for mecha construction, blocking the cave entrance!
This was a Zerg planet!
There were Zerg outside!
It was very dangerous!
Lu Wanqing realized this for the first time. Her heart pounded, and she felt even more afraid, afraid of what might happen to her, and even more afraid that Little Yi would suffer misfortune and die with her here!
