I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Hearing Teriri's words, everyone present was stunned. Looking at Teriri, Guanxing asked:

"Wait, isn't Youyou with you?"

Regarding the question about stargazing, Teriri also replied:

"Yes, she was with us at first, but we weren't paying attention for a few seconds and then we couldn't see Youyou anymore."

Teriri's answer made Guanxing frown slightly, then after thinking for a moment, he looked at Teriri and said:

"Could he have run off to the kitchen? I remember that kid really likes to eat."

Teriri shook her head upon hearing what Guanxing said and said:

“I just went to the cafeteria and didn’t see Youyou. The chefs in the kitchen also said that Youyou hadn’t been to the cafeteria.”

While gazing at the stars wondering where Yohaka had gone, Theresa suddenly spoke up on the other end of the communication line:

"Uh... I think I saw Youyou, she's right in front of me."

"Um???"

Hearing Theresa's words, the people on the bridge looked puzzled. Then, when Theresa turned the camera in front of her, they saw that Yuhaka was holding a large insect net and preparing to catch the small creatures that were unique to Redstone crawling on the ground.

Seeing this, Renault frowned and said:

"My God, how did that little guy get out???"

Everyone was also curious about Renault's question. According to Renault, the gate to the hangar was guarded, so it was impossible for Yhaka to sneak in. But what was going on now?

...The scene returns to Theresa's side...

Seeing that Yuhaka had somehow managed to run down again, Theresa was a little angry and pulled Yuhaka's little face, saying:

"You little rascal! Why did you sneak down here again! Don't you know how dangerous that is!"

Yhaka, whose face was being pulled by Theresa, looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression. Because of Theresa's pulling, Yhaka's expression was quite comical. After seeing the creature he had just tried to catch escape, Yhaka became a little angry. In his anger, Yhaka reached out and pulled Theresa's face back.

Suddenly, a scene appeared where the two little girls were pulling each other's faces.

Seeing Yuhaka and Theresa bickering, everyone on the Hyperion's bridge looked embarrassed. Stargazer coughed slightly and then reprimanded Theresa, saying:

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around! Regardless of how Youyou ran down there, doesn't Youyou feel hot now that she's not wearing a protective suit?"

Hearing Guan Xing's words, everyone noticed that Yuhaka wasn't wearing a protective suit. Seeing this, Theresa quickly asked:

"Wait, Youyou! Aren't you hot?!"

In response to Theresa's question, Yuhaka looked at Theresa with an "O-O?" expression and said:

"Isn't Youyou hot?"

When they heard Yuhaka say that she wasn't hot, many people were surprised that she wasn't afraid of the heat. After all, the temperature on that Redstone planet felt like being in a furnace. At this moment, Theresa suddenly realized that when she pinched Yuhaka's little face, it felt a little cool, which made Theresa feel that something was wrong.

Theresa then took out the detector from Judah and used it on Yhwach. Theresa could see that the temperature around Yhwach was consistently below 30 degrees Celsius, remaining relatively cool. Most importantly, Theresa detected a Honkai energy reaction, which startled her. She quickly grabbed Yhwach's shoulder and asked:

"Wait, Yuu, how could you possibly have Honkai energy in your body?!"

Hearing Theresa's question, Ehaka also looked puzzled. After all, Ehaka didn't quite understand what Honkai energy was. Of course, if Theresa pointed out the energy that Ehaka was currently using, Ehaka would probably understand, but when Theresa asked why Ehaka had Honkai energy on his body, Ehaka had no idea.

The people on the Hyperion were stunned when they heard Theresa's words. Theresa had told Reno and the others about Honkai energy, which was a very dangerous energy in the world where Theresa and the others lived. It felt a bit like radiation and would have a bad effect on people, but Honkai energy was even more dangerous.

It can not only turn people into zombie-like monsters, but also create more powerful suicide soldiers, and even cause some creatures to be infected by Honkai and turn into Honkai Beasts. Of course, if the concentration of Honkai energy is high, it will directly condense into Honkai Beasts.

It might even give rise to enemies of the entire civilization, such as the "Herrschers".

Chapter 1020 [Regardless of the creature, let's try grilling it first]

Everyone was very concerned about the Honkai energy on Yhaka. However, Stetman said that when he examined Yhaka before, he did not find any Honkai energy. When Theresa and the others boarded the ship, he also told Reno and the others about the Honkai energy.

This led Stetman to create a Honkai energy detector, which was installed in the Hyperion to prevent Honkai energy from appearing on the ship. However, Stetman has not detected any records of Honkai energy so far, and Theresa and the others have not used Honkai energy much on the ship.

Theresa, seeing Yuhaka's very serious expression, said to him:

"Youyou, listen to me. Using your cooling ability right now might pose a danger to the surrounding area. It's best not to use these energies, understand?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka nodded with a puzzled expression to indicate that she understood. Although she hadn't used this energy many times before, she could still use it without worry, since she could also use Shining Power and Kamui, which could help her cool down. Although Yuhaka herself wasn't worried about high-temperature environments, she preferred cool environments.

When Theresa saw that Yhaka nodded in response to her words, she was relieved because Yhaka was listening to her and her detector did not detect any Honkai energy.

Seeing Theresa's reaction, Yuhaka also looked at Theresa strangely, then focused his attention on his surroundings. Yuhaka could feel the movement coming from underground, as if something was surging up.

At that moment, alarms suddenly sounded around them, and the mechanical adjutant in the base reported that lava was about to erupt. Theresa immediately called back the SCVs mining in the low-lying area. After a slight tremor, scorching lava surged up like a tide, and the creatures in the low-lying area quickly ran up before the lava surged up.

As the lava surged up, Yuhaka took out a large insect net to chase the small creatures running on the high ground. However, Yuhaka soon realized that those little things didn't look very appetizing, so he decided to catch a few to try.

As the lava receded like the tide, the adjutant reported that the danger had passed, and the SCVs returned to their data collection work.

It was at this time that Tosh contacted Reno and his group, and brought some friends to help them with the mining.

Theresa saw a unit equipped with jetpacks and armed with dual pistols arrive on the high ground, having flown up there.

When Theresa saw those units that looked like rocket soldiers, she asked Raynor and the others a question:

"Mr. Renault, who are they?"

Regarding Theresa's question, Renault explained to Theresa that:

“Those people are the Reapers, mercenaries hired by Tosh, and now they are under our command. The Reapers can easily leap over cliffs and move at high speeds. In this environment, these agile killers can fly around with ease.”

Hearing Renault's words, Theresa also became interested in these guys equipped with jetpacks. To be honest, theresa wanted to make one for her college scientists. Although Valkyries have a stronger physique than ordinary people, this thing seemed very suitable for Valkyries to move at high speed in the ruined cities where the Honkai occurred, and to easily fly over obstacles to reach their destination.

As Theresa was thinking this, one of the Reapers, who looked very experienced, came up to her. He was the captain of the Reapers. Although she didn't know why there was a child here, Theresa was wearing equipment that looked like the ghost of the Empire, and she didn't seem like a simple person at all.

Moreover, as mercenaries, they listen to whoever pays them, even if it's a child.

"Boss, what are your orders for us?"

Hearing the Reaper captain's words, Theresa pointed to herself and said:

"Hey? Are you calling me?"

Regarding Theresa's question, the Reaper Captain nodded, indicating that he was referring to Theresa. Theresa was slightly surprised to see the Reaper Captain nod, but quickly cleared her throat and said to the Reaper Captain:

"Ahem, Mr. Reaper, do you know anything about the situation here right now?"

Upon hearing Theresa's question, the Reaper captain explained the situation to her:

"I won't go into the geography here. I'm sure you can see what it's like on the radar, boss. I know where the mineral veins are in the vicinity. Also, many of my brothers have been forced to separate because of the Zerg swarm. If you'd like, you can lead a team to find them. I remember there's another base and some SCVs not far to the north."

Upon hearing the Reaper Captain's words, Theresa looked at him with a surprised expression and said:

"Wait?! Are there other people here?"

"Yes, little boss, after the swarm broke through our defenses, we Reapers had to retreat to higher ground to avoid them. Fortunately, the swarm didn't pay any attention to us, otherwise we would have been their food."

Upon hearing the Reaper Captain's words, Theresa couldn't help but recall the evacuation plan on Mar-Sala. In the end, although it wasn't overwhelming, the area outside the positions was covered by the swarm's creep, and large numbers of swarms of insects swarmed in like ants.

"Uh... thank you for your hard work."

The Reaper captain shook his head and said:

"That's nothing. Mercenaries will do anything as long as the price is right. By the way, that child is planning to roast and eat the snails that are unique to Redstone. Aren't you going to stop her, little boss?"

Hearing the Reaper captain's words, Theresa looked towards Yhaka, who was grilling a creature that looked like a conch shell, with seasonings on the side. Seeing this, Theresa quickly ran over to stop Yhaka, saying:

"Wait! Youyou, what are you doing?! You can't eat that!"

As Yuhaka was trying to make grilled snails, she saw Theresa rushing over and looked at her with a puzzled expression, clearly not knowing why Theresa was stopping her from eating the snail-like creature.

Chapter 1021 [Theresa's Slightly Overconfident Ability]

After Theresa stopped him from cooking, Yuhaka glared at Theresa with a huff. If Theresa didn't give him a proper explanation, he would hold a grudge.

Theresa, on the other hand, spoke to Yohaka like a mother disciplining a child who eats indiscriminately:

"Youyou, how could you just pick something to eat like that! What if it's poisonous!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka shook his head in denial:

"Youyou smelled it, this conch isn't poisonous =－＝～"

Theresa looked at Yohaka with a "I don't believe you" expression. "How do you know it's not poisonous before we've even eaten it?"

"Even if it's not poisonous, don't eat snails! Youyou, don't you find it disgusting?"

"Snail O-O?"

When Theresa said that the sea snail-like creature she grilled was a snail, Yuhaka was stunned. She was clearly shocked by the word "snail." To Yuhaka, snails were classified as insects, the kind that shouldn't be eaten. Although Yuhaka had seen similar snail dishes made online by foreigners, she had never dared to try them.

The Reaper captain beside Theresa was also looking at Yuhaka's cat-ear horns and large tail with some curiosity. Although he didn't know what they were, these were not things to ask. As a mercenary, being too curious would not keep him alive for long.

"Yes, this thing is the lava snail on Redstone. Because this creature feeds on some minerals, it contains heavy metals, so basically no one would try to eat it."

After hearing what the two said, Yuhaka didn't realize that they were lying and thought they were telling the truth, so he didn't pursue the idea of ​​grilling the Red Stone Star snails any further.

Seeing that Yuhaka had given up on making grilled snails, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. At least Yuhaka wouldn't eat those strange-looking creatures anymore.

After resolving the issue with Yhaka, Theresa continued her mission regarding the collection of special crystals. While the SCVs were collecting crystals, Theresa also began to have defenses set up. Theresa did not dare to underestimate the Zerg swarm, even though there were no Zerg air forces or large units like the Zerg swarm. However, Theresa still felt that it was more important to set up defenses first.

Otherwise, Theresa wouldn't dare to go out and look for people.

Renault granted Theresa's request to build a defensive line, since the longer the defense lasts, the greater the gains. Previously, Theresa hadn't invested too many resources in her troops...

While setting up the defenses, the radar showed a swarm of Zerglings heading towards the base. Theresa's expression turned grim upon seeing them, but fortunately, they were only Zerglings. Theresa had already ordered her troops to prepare for an engagement.

At an intersection, Theresa was waiting for the jumping insects again. When she saw the swarm of insects running towards her from a distance, Theresa took out her Judah.

"Judas, unfold!"

As Judah unfolded, golden spears flew out, raining down on the swarm of Zerglings. Many Zerglings were pinned to the ground, unable to move. Even so, many Zerglings continued to rush towards them, and the Marines mostly shot them to death.

Seeing that all the Zerglings had been wiped out, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, thankfully there weren't many springtails this time, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

The Reaper captain, standing nearby, reminded Theresa:

"Young boss, I have to warn you first. These are just the Zerg's reconnaissance units. Once they realize you're not easy to deal with, those Zerg will launch a relentless attack on you. Fortunately, we don't need to worry about air raids, but there is a very dangerous presence not far to the south."

Hearing the words of the Reaper Captain, Theresa also felt a sense of unease. So Theresa asked the Reaper Captain what kind of dangerous being it was. Soon Theresa learned that it was something located in the south.

...The Hyperion's side...

"A wild beast? There's actually a wild beast here?!"

Raynor, aboard the Hyperion, was somewhat surprised by Theresa's answer. He hadn't expected that there were actually savages on this planet. Theresa, on the other hand, didn't know much about savages. Regarding the Zerg swarm, Theresa only knew that some of the Zerg were quite ordinary, and there wasn't much information about savages on the Hyperion.

"Um, Mr. Renault, is that being called the Savage Beast dangerous?"
