I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing Yhaka's words, Theresa recovered from her stunned expression and nodded to Yhaka, saying:

"Mmm! Well done, Youyou."

"Not just good, it's absolutely perfect!" Theresa thought to herself. It's a pity this isn't her world, otherwise Theresa would have wanted to recruit Yuhaka to be a student at St. Freya Academy.

“(︶w︶)~?”

Hearing Theresa praise him, Yuhaka naturally looked very proud, his big tail wagging back and forth.

Theresa looked at Yuhaka's smug expression and didn't know what to say. Although most people would think that a proud look was arrogant, Yuhaka's proud look only made him seem like a child being praised.

However, after a moment of smugness, Yuhaka remembered his mission and grabbed Theresa's small hand, saying:

"Theresa! Hurry, hurry! Take Youyou to tear down the house! ~(〃O▽O〃)"

Yuhaka only wanted Theresa to take her to destroy the infected houses because he thought it would be fun. After all, kids love to push down the blocks they've painstakingly built. Of course, it's also very satisfying to push down someone else's hard-earned blocks.

In addition, Yuhaka also wanted to quickly deal with the infected buildings so that he could get back to the Hyperion to eat as soon as possible.

Theresa, unaware of Yhaka's inner thoughts, nodded helplessly and tried to calm the bouncing Yhaka down. If Theresa knew what Yhaka was thinking, she would definitely look at him with a wary expression, since brats are enemies even more terrifying than Honkai!

.................................................. ......................

After Yhaka and her team successfully cleared all the infected buildings in the area, they returned to the Hyperion. Following a series of disinfection and sterilization procedures, they arrived back on the Hyperion's bridge. Upon seeing them return, Raynor greeted them, saying:

"Thank you for your hard work. Cleaning up the infected buildings must be very troublesome."

Hearing Renault's words, Theresa and the others also showed a subtle expression when they thought of how Yhaka had destroyed the infected buildings like sand sculptures. In the end, only Yhaka was doing the work, and he himself looked like he hadn't had enough fun, probably because Yhaka had a lot of energy today.

"Uh, it's not hard work at all. After all, it was Youyou who destroyed most of the buildings. By the way, how's Dr. Ariel's situation going?"

Dr. Ariel, whose topic had been quickly changed by Theresa and the others, nodded and said:

"I've taken care of things with my people, and I've also found a new settlement. It's an unclaimed planet near the Protoss called Haven, but it seems safe."

Hearing Dr. Ariel's words, Reno nodded and said:

"Yes, safety is essential, and your people deserve a good rest."

Meanwhile, Horner, with a serious expression, looked at Raynor and Dr. Ariel and asked:

Aren't you worried that those people might be infected by the alien virus?

But upon hearing Horner's words, Dr. Ariel seemed to be provoked and said somewhat loudly:

"How can you say that? They are all perfectly healthy!"

Upon hearing Dr. Ariel's words, the stargazer squinted at her and said:

"Everyone is perfectly healthy? Dr. Ariel, are you sure?"

Dr. Ariel, upon hearing the stargazer's words, spoke with great certainty:

“I am absolutely certain of this. I have investigated them thoroughly beforehand, and there is nothing unusual about them.”

"That's right..."

After receiving Dr. Ariel's reply, Stargazer showed an "I see" expression, and then asked:

"So, when the outbreak occurred, did your people know of any unusual occurrences that had occurred before the outbreak?"

Dr. Ariel looked puzzled when asked about stargazing, but she still shared what she knew.

"I asked my people about this before, but the answer I got was that the insect infection happened suddenly, with basically no warning signs."

Upon hearing Dr. Ariel's answer, Stargazer also looked serious and said:

"If it's really as you say, then that virus has two characteristics. First, the alien virus has a strong ability to hide, which may cause some symptoms, but conventional human testing methods cannot find the alien virus and can only be classified as other reasons. Second, the alien virus has the effect of rapidly mutating within an hour. Otherwise, the refugees in Mainhof would not have been unable to find anything."

Chapter 1072 [A Corner of a Branch of Fate]

Hearing Guan Xing's words, everyone present became alert. After all, if the alien virus was as Guan Xing described, it would be extremely dangerous. Renault, upon hearing Guan Xing's words, also wore a serious expression and said to Dr. Ariel:

“Dr. Ariel, I think Mr. Stargazer is right. We should take this issue seriously. If we underestimate the Zerg virus for any reason, then the one in danger will be Dr. Ariel herself.”

After saying that, Renault also said to Horner:

"Matt, pass on my orders: have all the crew members participating in the Mainhof cleanup operation undergo regular checkups in the medical room, just in case. I don't want my crew to turn into those hideous monsters."

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Renault's words, Horner nodded to indicate that he understood and went to relay Renault's orders. Dr. Ariel, witnessing this scene, was at a loss for words, wondering if she had been too biased towards her own people.

Thinking about it this way, Dr. Ariel realized that she had been too careless. If she had been too biased towards her own people, it might have led to something terrible.

Dr. Ariel sighed and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I'll have my men keep an eye on things. Hopefully, my worries are unfounded."

Hearing Dr. Ariel's words, Reno nodded and said to her:

"Being cautious is never a bad thing. Before that, Dr. Ariel, you'd better research the antidote for this virus. If the Protoss find out about anything related to the infection, they will definitely not be lenient."

Dr. Ariel nodded in agreement with Raynor's words and said:

"I know, but that virus mutates very quickly, and to be honest, I'm having a hard time dealing with it."

Reno, upon hearing Dr. Ariel's words, offered her some encouragement, saying:

"Have confidence, Dr. Ariel. Youyou recently obtained a new Xenomorph sample. Mr. Guanxing and his team found that Xenomorph in the infected area. They've never seen this type before. It might be the culprit behind this virus."

This information made Dr. Ariel's eyes light up; it was clearly good news. Dr. Ariel immediately went to the laboratory and said:

"If that's the case, the Zerg virus might have made some unexpected breakthroughs. I'll go check it out right now!"

As she spoke, Dr. Ariel ran off to the lab. Seeing Dr. Ariel's actions, Reno and Horner exchanged a glance and then shrugged.

Yuhaka and the others watched Dr. Ariel run away without saying anything. Stargazer turned to Reno and asked:

"Mr. Reynolds, how's the Zerg swarm situation going on your end?"

Upon hearing the question about stargazing, Renault sighed and said:

"The other side ran away. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a cautious Zerg. Every time we encounter a Zerg, they all attack us like madmen."

As he watched Renault, Guan Xing waved his feather fan and said to Renault:

"I see. Clearly, the other party is a highly intelligent being who is directing those alien insects to defend themselves. Obviously, the other party mainly needs to test the power of the virus."

Renault nodded in agreement with Guan Xing's answer and said:

"Yes, that's what I think too. If they hadn't insisted on running away, we would have wiped out that swarm of insects."

Guan Xing waved the feather fan in his hand and said:

"Well... if the enemy is determined to escape, it's basically impossible to stop them. Even if Mr. Renault follows them and warps over, there might be some kind of ambush."

Renault sighed helplessly and said:

"So it's a pity. If we could have eliminated that swarm of insects, it might have relieved some of the pressure on the sector."

Guan Xing shook the feather fan in his hand and said:

"It's not your fault, Mr. Renault. After all, no one expected this situation. Alright, I'm going to take Youyou to the kitchen now, otherwise, Youyou will start chewing on the boat."

Upon hearing Guanxing's words, Yuhaka, who was eating snacks nearby, was stunned. After swallowing the food in his mouth, Yuhaka looked at Guanxing with an expression of utter disbelief and said:

"Youyou doesn't eat ships made of iron, and stargazing is for idiots (=3=)~"

Theresa, standing nearby, couldn't help but smirk as she suppressed a laugh upon hearing Yuhaka's words. Stargazer patted Yuhaka's head with his feather fan and said:

"Alright, let's go eat. I asked the chefs to prepare the food in advance, so we can eat when we get there."

Hearing that there would be food in the future made Yuhaka's cat ears stand up, and its big tail also stood up. When the stargazer left, Yuhaka followed him eagerly.

Watching the departing figures of the stargazers, Renault shook his head helplessly, then looked at Horner and said:

“I should go to the bar to relax too, and while I’m at it, ask Tychus if his employer has any new commissions. I’ll leave this to you, Matt.”

Hearing Renault's words, Horner sighed helplessly and said:

"Yes, sir..."

.................................................. ...............

At the bar in Hyperion, the jukebox was playing music. As usual, Reno poured himself a drink and went to sit at a nearby table with Tychus. When Tychus saw Reno, he raised his bottle in greeting and said:

"Hey, look who's here."

Seeing Tychus's slightly drunk state, Renault shook his head helplessly, sat down opposite Tychus, and said:

"Tycus, did your employer request us to do this?"

When he heard that Renault had come to ask about business, Tychus became serious and said to Renault:

"That's true. Our employer wants us to go to a dead planet called Syl to find another artifact. Actually, they sent an expert team there before, but they lost contact a few days ago. They're probably dead, so we need some risk compensation for this job..."

Upon hearing Tychus's words, Renault took a sip of his drink. Although it sounded a bit strange, he thought it shouldn't be a big problem. Renault hoped that what they were trying to eliminate wasn't the Zerg, otherwise, the funds for their commission would be wasted.

Chapter 1073 [The Treasure Hunt]

After a day of rest, Raynor sent the Hyperion to the planet [Sil], where the mission area was located. Through the communication signals transmitted by radar, Raynor and his team could see a desolate planet.

"This godforsaken place is like a morgue. I wonder what things that have been dead for millions of years are sitting in these ruins."

Reno, hearing Tychus's complaint, stared at him and said:

"Tychus, what about our target?"

"That's it. Before those Mobius squads went missing, they sent back reports that there was radiation from an artifact near that large, distorted rock, so they also brought in a large laser drill to clear a path."

Upon hearing Tychus's information, Renault also showed a bit of surprise, after all, the laser drill that Tychus mentioned was no ordinary machine.

"A laser drill? That thing is extraordinary! But... if the Mobius team can use such advanced weaponry—I can't imagine who wiped them out."

In response to Renault's doubts, Tychus, with a cigar in his mouth, said to Renault:

"Who cares who it is? We'll find out who it is eventually, buddy."

Reno shook his head helplessly and said:

"Alright, it seems there aren't many clues right now. Let's send a small team down to take a look."

Hearing Renault's words, Theresa, who was standing nearby, also said to Renault:

"Then let me and Youyou go down and take a look. Besides, Youyou can turn invisible, so it will be easy to investigate."

Renault nodded after hearing Theresa's words and said:
