Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1760 Waiting for You (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Zong Ruoning said, "Remember to keep in touch, I want to go with you too..."

Xia Chujian quickly said, "No, please! I hope Young Master Zong won't be angry. Your visit would only cause me trouble."

Zong Ruoning wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "Cousin Buyan said the same thing."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

"This is a second-generation mech. If you find my father, please give him this to wear."

"I'll be waiting for you to come back at my cousin Buyan's manor next door."

……

To keep it a secret, Xia Chujian took away two small wormhole openers without explaining to Su Buyan and Zong Ruoning when she was going to leave.

In fact, when she returned, Xia Miao and the other ten people were already fully prepared and waiting for her.

Xia Chujian gave each of them a Crimson Flame Dew, which they held in their mouths.

Each of them also has a second-generation mech. In addition to the new generation plasma sniper rifle developed by Su Buyan, they are also equipped with longswords made of new Zerg materials.

This is considered a second-generation Zerg longsword, made from raw materials recovered from the corpses of new Zerg during the recent Zerg attacks on Shaofu Star.

This matter is also a point of suspicion for Xia Chujian.

She didn't understand why the Zerg could still produce such a new type of evolved Zerg, even though she had destroyed their incubation facilities.
We should go and see everything for ourselves.

Xia Chujian stood in front of these people, her hands behind her back, her entire body enveloped in her Xuan Nu Qing Yao Titanium Mecha.

She calmly asked, "Are you ready?"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, Captain!"

Of course, they wouldn't call each other by their real names during this operation.

They all addressed each other by their captain's name and code names like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Xia Chujian nodded: "I won't say anything more."

"I have only one request."

"For this mission, you must follow my orders 100%."

“With me, you have no opportunity to act on your own.”

"Anyone who disobeys my orders will be responsible for their own life or death."

"And next time, I will absolutely never bring someone like that along!"

Xia Miao and the other ten immediately assured him, "We will definitely follow the captain's orders!"

Xia Chujian said no more and activated the small wormhole opener.

She held one of the instruments, and Xia Miao held the other, as a backup in case of emergency.

Soon, the space in front of them, which was like a calm sea, suddenly had a ripple with a diameter of two meters.

It's like a smooth mirror shattered into a concave lens, and everything inside seems bottomless.

Xia Chujian took the lead and jumped in.

Next came Xia Xiong and the others, and finally Xia Miao.

After she went in, Huo Yushen stood guard next to the small wormhole that had been opened.

Once everyone has emerged from the other side of the wormhole, the wormhole will disappear.

On the other side of the wormhole, of course, was the location of the star coordinates that Zong Weiping had sent them.

Unfortunately, that place is the location of a city on the Southern Cross.

The Southern Cross was the former capital star of the Southern Cross Principality, and also the location of the last resistance force of the former Southern Cross Principality.

Of the twelve habitable planets of the former Southern Cross Principality, eleven have been completely lost, leaving only this one in a stalemate between the Zerg and Terrans.

Each side occupied a portion of the planet.

At the beginning, it was said that each party got half.

After a year of stalemate, the Zerg now make up three-quarters of the population, while the Terrans are reduced to only one-quarter, and most of them are still on small islands in the vast sea.

The situation is far from optimistic for the human resistance forces there.

Recently, however, the Zerg launched three major campaigns against the Northern Star Empire, and reportedly, they did not fare well.

They all suffered heavy losses and never returned.

In addition, the Zerg's hatchery ran into problems, and the Zerg's forces could not be replenished, which also caused major problems for the Zerg.

After confirming the situation, the human resistance forces launched a counterattack and recaptured some human territory.

Currently, the Zerg and Terran occupy two-thirds of the Southern Cross, compared to one-third.

However, Xia Chujian had no intention of helping the human resistance forces here fight.

She was very clear that her goals were twofold: to investigate and to rescue people.

She generally avoids doing anything that might cause unnecessary trouble, unless she's forced into a corner.

……

Jumping out from the other side of the wormhole, Xia Chujian looked around warily.

According to the star coordinates, this place is located on the star map as the capital city of the Southern Cross.

But when she looked around, this place didn't look like a human city at all.

Even the scenes commonly seen in urban ruins are no longer visible.

What you see is a concrete representation of a vast, sprawling beehive.

Each entrance is a hexagon, approximately five meters wide.

Inside the entrance, it was pitch black.

Even in broad daylight, the entrances to those beehives were pitch black.

Looking at Zong Weiping's coordinates, Xia Chujian thought in despair, "This person must have already been captured by the Zerg and taken into the hive."

Even more extreme, it may have already become a "pregnant mother," starting to incubate Zerg eggs...

She recalled what she had seen in that incubation factory before, and a chill ran down her spine. But then she realized that the incubation factory wasn't here, but on another planet.

However, Zong Weiping's position remains the same.

So even if he's been caught, he shouldn't have been taken away yet, thank goodness...

Thinking this, Xia Chujian first summoned Qi Lu and said, "Qi Lu, can you control the Zerg's network system?"

"They don't use electromagnetic systems, but the Zerg's biological systems."

Qi Lu said, "That's great, Master! After Qi Lu's last upgrade, I now have a database of Zerg biological pheromones!"

Xia Chujian was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

Soon, Qi Lu found the Zerg's web system connection at the entrances of those hives.

After infiltrating, it took less than three seconds to circle the entire insect web and emerge.

"Master, there are two flying Zerg squadrons here today, and they are leaving Southern Cross."

"Also, something strange happened here two days ago."

"A person dressed in an old military uniform suddenly fell from the sky and crashed down."

"This alarmed a minor general of the Zerg, who captured him and sent him to the Zerg hive."

"It's said that it will be sent to the incubation factory today."

Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Zong Weiping fell into the hands of the Zerg.

After he fell out of the Ursus timeline, he only had about a minute of free time.

However, even this less than one minute of free time was enough for him to send a message to his wife.

He really is a loving husband...

Xia Chujian mentally complained, "Qi Lu, can you control this? Don't let the Zerg fly away from the Southern Cross today!"

Qi Lu said, "It can be arranged."

Before long, Xia Xiong and the others began to emerge from the small wormhole that Xia Chujian had opened.

Xia Miao was the last one to come out.

After she came out, Xia Chujian closed the wormhole.

She led everyone to a secluded spot beyond the reach of the Zerg network system and spoke to them through the mech's internal communication system.

"The person we're looking for has already been taken into this insect hive."

"You don't need to go in."

"I need you guys outside to monitor the Zerg's activities at all times."

"You ten people, split into pairs, and go to the four cardinal directions of this city to see what the Zerg are up to."

"There's another group, guarding the entrance and keeping watch for me."

"Notify me immediately if any Zerg activity is detected."

Although Xia Chujian had Qi Lu controlling the Zerg's network system, she was also well aware that the Zerg's network system was not omnipresent.

Just like where they are hiding now, there is no Zerg network system monitoring them.

Therefore, she also needs some man-made outposts to help her keep an eye on the surrounding area.

She didn't want to alert the Zerg army.

Xia Miao and her group of ten immediately agreed, quickly divided themselves into teams, and flew away in four directions, disappearing into the shadows.

The two who remained were Xia Miao and Xia Xiong.

These two are the strongest in terms of overall strength among the ten people, so they decided to stay behind to keep watch for Xia Chujian.

In the unlikely event that they need to step in, they are the most capable fighters.

Xia Chujian appreciated their kindness, concealed herself, and found the entrance where Zong Weiping's coordinates were located among the countless densely packed beehive entrances, then slipped inside.

……

The scale of this insect hive was something even Xia Chujian had never seen before.

Even the darkness inside seemed viscous, not because of a lack of light, but because the hive was most likely also a type of insectoid creature...

It is very likely alive!
Xia Chujian's tension continued to rise. She kept moving forward, keeping close to the slowly pulsating organic tissue in the insect nest.

The road beneath her feet was like the waves of the sea, each rise and fall bringing a warm, rotten, slippery, fishy wind that lashed against her head, which was covered by a fully enclosed helmet.

The air was as thick as asphalt, and every movement felt like sinking into a quagmire.

If it weren't for the fact that the passageways here are varied and uneven, she would have used her mecha to fly directly.

Now we can only take it one step at a time and move forward.

Based on the orientation indicators on the eyepiece display, she could sense that Zong Weiping was located just ahead.

However, the area ahead was far too vast.

The previous star coordinates were the coordinates where Zong Weiping had just landed.

His position changed after he was captured by the Zerg.

Now we can only rely on her to figure it out slowly.

Xia Chujian closed her eyes and once again connected her nervous system with the mecha's audiovisual system.

In an instant, the surrounding deathly darkness burst forth like fireworks.

Countless biological pheromone signals, like rays of light raging through the universe, bombarded her nerve endings.

The frantic detection signals, the guiding elements transmitting information, the low-frequency hum of the guards, the sharp hiss of the Zerg officers…

Like billions of invisible threads, they intertwine, collide, and transmit in the viscous swamp, forming a deadly pheromone exchange map covering the entire planet.

There will be a new update at 12:05 AM.
