Him and their stars.

Chapter 1939: Save Your Own Subordinates Yourself
Yu Lian wanted to say something when he heard Xia Li behind him sighing: "Ah! Good! I finally did it!"

What on earth have you become? Yu Lian realized that his DNA was stirring. But at this moment, if he still wanted to use his palm-like iron palm to correct the other party's complacency, it was too late.

The girl's master was seen pointing with one hand at the mother nest flagship which was showing its divinity in the sky, with one hand on her waist, once again posing as if she was the only one in the world.

She shouted loudly: "The civilization of the galaxy has long been corrupted. Now it is the turn of the righteous larvae to tear apart your ugly parasites! The arrogant crown that you have forged with 120,000 light years will eventually become the first stepping stone for the evolution of the Zerg! I swear by my 360 billion compound eyes that when the vain imperial crown is extinguished in the gnawing, I will hear the whole universe singing! This is the funeral song I wrote for the empire! This is the song of the future I wrote for the galaxy!"

At this moment, she looked very domineering, as if she had already laid the smooth road to the future under her feet.

She seemed to have become the unquestionable core of the universe.

"How come this child can't stand praise at all?" Xiao Hui covered his face and retreated with an expression that was disgusting to look at.

Yu Lian couldn't help but applaud.

Although Xia Li is no longer rebellious, she is still childish enough, which makes her very down-to-earth.

However, Xia Li, who had been so complacent for less than two seconds, suddenly shivered, as if she felt Yu Lian's gaze. She quickly jumped away a few steps, and performed a White Crane Spread Wings move towards the latter, with a changeable look in her eyes.

Yu Lian raised his eyebrows and pulled out his indestructible sect treasure (sickle) sword (hammer) from behind: "What's the matter? Are you going to cross the river and burn the bridge? Let me teach you, for a good person like me with a correct outlook on life, the most troublesome thing is to find a reasonable reason to beat up a potential ally."

After being forced to experience the pain of cell tearing countless times, Yu Lian is now really furious, and would be happy to find a very sturdy sandbag to vent his anger.

Since Xia Li on the opposite side has become the incarnation of the Zerg, she must be killed many times, right?

The Overlord probably sensed the malicious intent, so he took another slow tactical retreat, and then did a mantis hug. His movements were so standard that even a martial arts master like Senior Brother Tan Tai could only nod in approval, indicating that his basic skills were very solid.

She shouted, "Don't blame me! You are the one who started it every time! Even if it was me, I would get stressed out."

"Stress? What a useless queen!"

"This is a biological instinct. It is precisely because I am a swarm that I have to respond more strongly! Also, please stop talking about the queen. I and all the units in the swarm are of one mind and one character, and there is no hierarchy!"

What an advanced swarm!
"Progress is certainly a good thing. But if it is just progress in metaphysical concepts, then it is putting the cart before the horse." Yu Lian said with his hands behind his back.

"No matter what, I am the Zerg, and the Zerg is me. My existence represents the continuation and future of a race. You should give me some face. Since we have agreed to reconcile, you can't just do it casually."

Yu Lian raised his head and cast a cold, dead fish eye at the mother nest in the sky: "If that thing suddenly fires all the cannons, my situation will be very difficult."

Am I not being pointed at by your warship as well? Xia Li also squinted her dead fish eyes and stared back at Yu Lian, slowly saying: "When I was cooperating with Tomiteli Khan, I knew that she had an affair with the World Serpent, but I didn't say anything. I had at least nine chances to stab her in the back. More than nine times! Didn't I hold back? The evil plunderers and I are regarded as heretics by the mainstream civilization. But who dares to deny that we have the noble character of keeping our promises?"

Maybe he had nine chances to stab you in the back, but gave up for various reasons. Yu Lian began to judge others by his own standards.

To be honest, he really didn't expect to hear the name of the Great Khan at this time.

Of course, if you think about it, all this seems to be natural.

"Sure enough, you have been colluding with each other for a long time. The swarm of insects in the Lion's Den Fortress was your work, right?" Yu Lian said loudly.

"This, shouldn't you have known this a long time ago?" Charlie asked with her eyes wide open.

"Of course I know, but I'm not completely sure. After all, there are bugs in the Ringworld Serpent, and I don't know who is the genuine one."

To Xia Li, this must be a very explicit insult, right? However, she, who had already upgraded her emotional intelligence and self-restraint, only slightly moved her long eyelashes:
"I have no interest in Great Khan Tomiteli's dream, but as long as they are all against the empire, I must help them. Of course, our cooperation only lasted until she arrived in the New World. As for the future, we have to accept our fate. Speaking of which, the country she dreamed of was also destroyed!"

Yu Lian said proudly: "Yes, I made some insignificant contribution in it."

Charlie blinked and said, "Fortunately, she is still alive after all."

"She's dead." Yu Lian said frankly, "I beat her to death, just two months ago."

"Strictly speaking, he was beaten to death by Feifei." Xiao Hui, who was standing aside, commented in a neutral, calm and objective third-party language: "However, what your people did is equivalent to what you did."

Yes, this is called responsibility! Yu Lian is of course still very proud of this.

Charlie remained silent for a few seconds with no expression on her face, then she sighed.

Of course, she just sighed.

"She's actually quite remarkable, but she just lacks a bit of luck," said Charlie.

Yu Lian nodded expressionlessly. Of course, he just nodded.

To be honest, he really had no personal grudge against Tomiteli Khan, and even had some respect for the courageous, resourceful, and determined Queen Aero. However, things had still developed to this point, and it would be too hypocritical to express any false condolences.

Yu Lian raised his head and looked up at the blue-gray Zerg Hive flagship that was filled with sacred light, and suddenly felt that he had a strong connection with that thing.

But I don’t know if it’s the half-integrated will that’s causing the problem.

...Speaking of which, since Xia Li has already accepted the core of the hive, she should have priority in the authority of the Zerg. In theory, she should be able to take back this ability, right?

However, she didn't seem to have any plans in this direction.

The girl who was the incarnation of the swarm turned her head, and the emotions and information in her eyes were quite complicated.

"I won't become a swarm of insects." Yu Lian said with his hands behind his back.

Xia Li said unhappily, "You can't be the one even if you want to. The essence of life is different. However, I did leave successors to the tribe. I just hope that you can take care of them when necessary because we are all anti-imperialist allies. My life is like walking in a black hole, but I can walk to the other side of the galaxy."

When did we form this alliance?
Xia Li looked at the blue-purple sky made of thin atmosphere, and the girl's delicate back actually carried a hint of desolation. She then turned around and took the initiative to say: "I will leave here and go to Gaixian."

"Gaixian Star Region? That means we have to cross the entire Xumoer..."

"That's my mother's hometown. Since I survived in another way, I also need to fulfill my wish."

Speaking of which, there is still no definite answer to who Xia Li's biological mother is, and she herself seems unwilling to say it. Out of basic courtesy as an ally, Yu Lian certainly didn't take the initiative to ask. "Fulfilling a vow?" She still regarded herself as a human being, but she didn't know whether it was the anchor point of her mental stability or the habit that was difficult to overcome.

"This may be my last time as a human. After all, my life form is no longer human. In the future, I will be further and further away from human emotions, right? Perhaps it won't be long before all the human emotions I show are simulated by biological pheromones and neural networks."

"And after this?"

"Is there even more need to say this? You can let me make the same declaration a few more times! I am the Zerg... Ouch!" Before Xia Li could raise her head and chest and proudly declare to the universe, Yu Lian once again hit her in the face with a blast of "Samadhi True Fire".

In the end, she was successfully ambushed by Yu Lian.

Facts have proved that even after another level-up, even though she has become the incarnation of the Zerg, in terms of psychic strength alone, there is still a considerable gap between her and Yu Lian.

Xia Li covered her face and stepped back a few steps, adding a tactical roll. The fireball wrapped around her face was directly absorbed into her skin.

She glared at Yu Lian fiercely, but after just a few seconds, she couldn't help but break into a frank smile.

It is not easy to make a swarm of insects that have evolved emotional intelligence smile sincerely.

"I understand. You are reminding me that in terms of individual strength, I am no match for the emperor."

If you say so, then so be it. Yu Lian nodded seriously.

If you don't admit it at this time, you will appear petty.

"I have never had the ambition to defeat him by brute force. You will understand what I mean." The girl who was the incarnation of the swarm showed a mysterious smile.

She looked at him and squinted at Yu Lian again with dead eyes: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but this kind of knowledge is too mysterious. I still need time to digest it, and I don't know how to describe it."

That's the best.

"I now declare that you are not my enemy. You are not a snake either."

"Aha! Thank you. It's not easy to get you to admit this." Yu Lianhe twitched the corners of his mouth. He once again thought of the pain of his cells being torn apart countless times.

"I don't hate you anymore. I don't hate you for chasing me before."

"That's really touching." Yu Lian said listlessly.

"I know you're still emotional now. When I lost my mind just now... it was really not very decent. But if you just think more about the times when you bullied me in the past, it should be balanced, right?"

Yu Lian was dumbfounded. After upgrading her emotional intelligence, this girl even resorted to moral blackmail?
But then again, I actually felt that it made sense, and my mentality really balanced out for a moment.

Indeed, this is the high moral dilemma that all decent people must face!

"Tsk, if you had come here two hundred years ago, my unworthy father would have become a good friend of yours."

"Maybe. At least we are all full of enthusiasm for the world." Yu Lian smiled.

"He has no enthusiasm for the world, only resentment and anger. As for you, it simply means you are dissatisfied with everything." Xia Li commented expressionlessly, "Then, let's say goodbye... Hehe, maybe we won't have the chance to meet again in the future."

Charlie, who has transformed into a swarm of insects, should not be pessimistic. This is probably just the result of her calculations.

In other words, it is completely unclear whether she can still maintain the vitality of a human being when they meet next time.

Yu Lian glanced at Xiao Hui out of the corner of his eye and felt that Xia Li was being a little too worried.

To put it more metaphysically, even for pure humans, the so-called vivid emotions are simulated by neural networks, aren't they?
If Xiao Hui is really a qualified civilization-guiding AI, he should come forward now and give some guidance to this group of confused Zerg incarnations, right?
But in fact, this zero-element fairy looked heartless, without tears or emotions, and even looked like he wanted to laugh. He even took a bite of the melon as a matter of course.

Your job? What is your job?
Yu Lian suddenly felt quite sympathetic towards Xia Li. However, he was very confident in his eloquence, but now he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just said, "Take care."

On the contrary, Xia Li seemed to have more to say at this time: "Take care... Oh, but since we are allies, we should be able to share some information."

"please say."

"I have a friend... well, a friend I met when I was participating in the Rebellion. His name is Andro Motta, and he claims to be your subordinate. He was captured during the Battle of Dan Iron City. I wanted to save him, but I was really powerless."

The image of the big, black, fat man with a lively look in his eyes suddenly appeared in Yu Lian’s mind.

Not only a subordinate, but also one of the oldest subordinates.

But then again, he was a member of the International Students Association of the Community! If we count the time, he should graduate in one or two years. Although the war broke out, the proud empire would not go out of its way to embarrass a group of ordinary college students.

If he behaves well as a student in Tianyu, he can graduate safely.

But why would such a person come and join the rebel army's action?

"I thought about saving him, but the core of the hive is more important here." Charlie seemed a little apologetic.

"No need to apologize, you did the right thing. Since he dared to join the rebel movement, he considered himself a soldier. A soldier's life...is not that important."

"Thank you for your understanding. I did think about rescuing them after obtaining the core of the hive. But since you are here, of course it is your business."

Yu Lian admitted that this was indeed the case.

"Also, the war zone lord I left in the New World reported to me that he witnessed the military operations of your Earth fleet near the Gate of Glory. Calculating the time, it should have been ten days ago."

"Gate of Glory? Is it the Gate of Glory that I know?" Yu Lian was really shocked this time.

"Of course it's the Gate of Glory." Xia Li repeated, "Of course it's the New World. I'm the Zerg, and reproduction and development are my job. It's reasonable to leave troops in the New World, right?"

In fact, not only in the Empire's Gate of Glory Colony, Xia Li also left troops in remote areas of the New World Highway and the Iris Cross Route. Although the scale is not large, the functions of the Lord are very complete, and it is indeed a very proactive Zerg Corps.

"They attacked the supply line leading to the Dawn Star Region, and the results were quite fruitful. My clone saw the large transport ship that was destroyed. Oh, this news is from 12 hours ago."
