I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

A sharp roar echoed throughout the tunnel, and everyone became alert. Renault, holding his weapon, looked at the dark opening around him and said:

"What's that sound?!"

Regarding Renault's question, Tychus, who was standing nearby, picked up his heavy machine gun, aimed it at the surroundings, and said:

"Regardless of what kind of sound it is, it's obvious that trouble is coming our way."

Yuhaka, with his cat ears perked up, also heard the digging sound from underground and pointed to a spot not far away, saying:

"Over there! Youyou heard that!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone picked up their weapons and aimed in the direction Yuhaka pointed. Soon, a huge queen emerged, accompanied by a number of ferocious jumping insects. The jumping insects pounced on Yuhaka and her companions the moment they emerged from the hole.

Seeing this, Renault also spoke up:

"Damn it! Open fire!"

Upon hearing Reno's order, everyone opened fire on the charging Zerglings. Amidst the hail of bullets, many Zerglings were killed or wounded. At this moment, Tychus noticed that the Queen was laying many eggs and spitting out a liquid onto them. Soon, the eggs that absorbed the liquid hatched into cockroaches and hydralisks.

Upon seeing this, Tychus couldn't help but curse:

"Damn it, that thing is laying eggs!"

Renault, who was also watching this scene from the sidelines like Tychus, frowned and said:

"I see it. We have to take care of her, otherwise she'll hatch even more bugs. Youyou, do you have a way to deal with that big bug?"

Yuhaka, who was firing a large machine gun, turned around and nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Then, Yuhaka took out a huge sniper rifle, aimed it at the queen insect that was rapidly hatching eggs in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

A lightning-infused attack struck the Queen Zerg aircraft, instantly decapitating her. Upon witnessing this, everyone exclaimed "Well done!" However, before they could celebrate for long, a second Queen Zerg emerged from another location and unleashed a spiked spinal spike at Eyjafjalla.

Yhaka's reaction speed was also not slow. The sniper rifle in Yhaka's hand suddenly turned into a giant sword and knocked away the spiny spikes fired by the Queen. Then, the blade of the giant sword in Yhaka's hand split in the middle and turned into the shape of an electromagnetic cannon. With a sound of electromagnetic charging, an electromagnetic bullet also pierced the Queen in two.

After the queen died, Reno and his companions dared not let their guard down, fearing that another queen would emerge to ambush them. Unfortunately, a third queen emerged, but instead of firing spines, she launched a psionic attack.

As soon as the Queen of Insects appeared, she let out a roar, which spread outwards with a purple psionic shockwave. This psionic shockwave had no effect on Yhaka, but it was not so friendly to Reno and his group. In the psionic shockwave released by the Queen of Insects, Reno and his group felt as if something sharp had pierced their brains, and they immediately covered their heads and almost fell to the ground.

Theresa and the others were also affected by the psionic shockwave, but compared to Reno and the others, Theresa and Luna were less affected. They just didn't kneel on the ground like Reno and the others.

Ehaka noticed that the people on his side who had been injured by the psionic shock had their eyes turn crimson, and Ehaka's hair was also crackling with lightning. The next second, without anyone seeing, Ehaka swiftly chopped the queen into ashes. After dealing with the queen, Ehaka noticed a hydra raising its claws to slash at the immobile Moonlit.

Seeing this, Yhaka was immediately enraged, and the next second he transformed into lightning and charged toward the Hydralisk.

When Yuexia recovered from the sharp pain in her head, she saw a hideous monster swinging its claws at her. Instinctively, Yuexia closed her eyes, but after a loud noise, she opened them slightly and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her. The hydra that had been in front of them had disappeared.

Seeing this, Yuexia realized that it was Yuhaka who had saved her. She immediately relaxed, which also increased her goodwill towards Yuhaka.

But at this moment, Yuexia noticed that even more swarms of insects were rushing towards them, so she quickly said to Yuhaka:

"Youyou! More Zerg are coming!"

Hearing Yuexia's words, Yuhaka also noticed the approaching Zerg. However, these Zerg were not a big problem for Yuhaka. Yuhaka swung his greatsword, and the lightning-fast sword energy sliced ​​all the Zerg in half like a cutting machine, eliminating them as easily as cutting grass. He also cut off the supporting rock pillars that were supporting the large cavern.

Suddenly, the entire cave shook, and loose rocks kept falling from above. The group quickly regained their senses and realized something was terribly wrong. Renault immediately told everyone:

"The cave is collapsing! Swan! How's your fusion device working?!"

Swan glanced at the fusion device, which had already indicated that it was fully operational, and said to Reynolds and the others:

"Work's done, Mr. Cowboy! If you don't want to turn into mincemeat, let's get out of this hellhole right now!"

Hearing Swan's words, Renault nodded and then told everyone to leave. After Renault and the others left, the things in the cave were buried by the collapsed rocks, and Renault and the others escaped successfully. After Renault and the others ran in the direction of the evacuation point, a loud noise and tremor came from afar. Then Renault and the others saw the rising lava and realized that their operation had succeeded.

"Plan succeeded! Now hurry to the evacuation point. If you don't want to be roasted like those bugs, quicken your pace! Hurry!"

Upon hearing Renault's words, everyone present quickened their pace as if their pants were on fire, fearing they would end up like the Zerg, roasted alive. Of course, Yuhaka was an exception, since Yuhaka could swim in lava without any problem.

Chapter 1133 [At this moment, Yuexia made a difficult choice]

After successfully detonating the fusion devices at three locations, the tunnel worm network in the area was also flooded by a large amount of surging lava. Yuhaka and Reno's group managed to escape from the cave, but after they came out, the cave behind them was swallowed up by the rising lava.

Theresa, looking at the cave behind her that was submerged by lava, broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"Phew, that was close, I was almost caught up..."

Yuhaka, standing to the side, held Yuexia's small hand. When they ran away earlier, Yuhaka had also pulled Yuexia along. Yuexia, who was being held by Yuhaka, looked embarrassed. Because she was wearing a closed combat helmet, no one noticed Yuexia's expression.

Swann, looking at the network of tunnel worms submerged by lava, couldn't help but speak up:

"Look at those collapsed wormholes; all those worms are wiped out."

Renault, looking relieved, said:

"Yes, for now we don't have to worry about any tunnel bugs jumping out from underground and scaring us."

Then Renault looked at everyone and said:

"Alright, now let's go see how General Warfield is handling things. Hopefully, they've taken down the Zerg hive on the orbital platform."

After hearing Raynor's words, everyone returned to their previous defensive base. Upon their return, Raynor contacted Warfield and the others, asking:

"General Warfield, how's the situation on your end?"

Regarding Renault's problem, Warfield also sighed and said:

"Unfortunately, we failed to destroy the entire orbital platform. We only destroyed about 56% of the enemy's orbital platform before they sent out huge Zerg air units called 'Leviathan' to drive us away. Under pressure from the enemy's air force, we had to withdraw from the orbital platform. Otherwise, our air force would have suffered heavy losses."

Upon hearing Warfield's answer, Renault also showed a relieved expression and said:

"Well, it seems your side isn't easy to deal with either. It seems Kerrigan isn't stupid; she won't let either of the two important locations fall. But destroying half of the orbital platforms should weaken half of their air force, right?"

After hearing Renault's words, Warfield shook his head helplessly and said:

"Ha... In any case, without completely taking over that orbital platform, our air force will still have to fight the Zerg swarm for air superiority, but at least we're evenly matched. And listen to my men, you've already destroyed the burrowing worm network?"

Upon hearing Warfield's question, Renault nodded and said:

"Yes, General. We have filled the Zerg's tunnel network with lava. Now the Zerg can no longer use tunnels to break through our defenses and launch surprise attacks."

After finally hearing some good news, General Warfield breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"If that's the case, then at least we can breathe a sigh of relief for now."

Then, as if remembering something, General Warfield spoke up:

"Oh right, I almost forgot, I also brought a gift this time."

As he spoke, Warfield had two Marines bring over a metal box as thick as a coffin. After having the box opened, Warfield revealed the assembled artifact inside and told Raynor and the others:

"The Xel'Naga artifact is now assembled; hopefully, it will be worth the investment..."

When Tychus saw the assembled Xel'Naga artifact, he looked disgusted and said:

"Obviously, I don't want to risk my life on this alien junk."

Reno, who was standing nearby, also said to Tychus after hearing his words:

“Tychus, if I had gone all in, we would have been finished long ago. This place is full of dangers. We have come this far only because we have supported each other.”

Warfield chuckled at the conversation between Tychus and Reno and said:

"Hehe, I don't know if it's good luck or just that some people are just lucky, but I've never seen anyone like you succeed."

While Warfield and the others were chatting, Yuhaka and her friends were at the supply station. Because Yuhaka was hungry, she sat on top of a supply box, holding an energy bar in her two little hands and chewing it. Her cheeks were bulging, making her look like a hamster eating. Theresa, seeing this, didn't know what to say. After all, she had never met such a glutton as Yuhaka before. Fortunately, once Yuhaka was full, she wouldn't get hungry again and run back to the supply station to eat.

Theresa looked at the projection screen displaying stargazing and said:

"By the way, what happened when you were driven back by the Zerg swarm?"

Upon hearing Theresa's question, Guanxing patted his head with his feather fan and sighed, saying:

"Don't even mention it. I originally thought that if we could take down that big guy called Leviathan on the orbital platform, we could take over the entire orbital platform in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect the enemy to be so decisive. They suddenly pulled out two Leviathans from the forces defending against the Imperial Air Force to deal with us. Aren't they worried that their air force defenses would be breached by the Imperial Air Force?"

Theresa smiled awkwardly when she heard Stargazer's complaints. She hadn't expected anyone to be able to outmaneuver Stargazer strategically. However, Theresa thought that Stargazer might have lost because he was unfamiliar with him. After all, it was quite remarkable that an ancient person from a bygone era could lead an interstellar army to win so many times in a row.

While Theresa was chatting with Stargazer, Moonbeam was dumbfounded to see a deep scratch on the blood container in her hand. She clearly didn't understand why there was such a large gash on her blood container. Soon, it dawned on her. During the battle beneath the tunnel worm network, while dodging the Hydralisk's spines, Moonbeam felt something bump against the container at her waist. At the time, she hadn't paid much attention or looked into it, but now she finally understood what had happened.

Feeling her throat getting increasingly thirsty, Yuexia turned her gaze to Yuhaka, who was sitting on a supply box not far away, swinging his legs and big tail. Thinking of what happened last time, Yuexia's cheeks turned a little red, but she didn't have any other choice now.

Chapter 1134 [Theresa: You guys are actually here—?! (Shocked)]

After chatting with the stargazer, Theresa sighed and shut down the small computer on her arm. She then turned to look at Yhaka, as if to say something, but then realized that Yhaka, who was sitting on the supply box, had disappeared. Not only Yhaka, but even Moonlit was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Theresa was also puzzled. Why did Yuhaka and Yuexia disappear without a trace after she chatted with the stargazer for a while? Theresa was also a little confused. The supply station only had one exit, and the two little ones did not pass in front of her and go out through the exit. So where did they go?

Curious Theresa jumped off the supply crate and said with some confusion:

"That's strange, where did those two little ones go?"

As she spoke, Theresa walked towards the interior of the supply station. Because of the tall shelves that held many supplies, Theresa couldn't see the areas that were hidden by the shelves. After going deeper into the supply station, Theresa heard slurping and prprpr sounds.

Upon hearing those strange sounds, Theresa also looked puzzled, clearly not understanding why such eating sounds were occurring. Aren't the only things available at the supply station drinking water, energy drinks, energy bars, and canned food?

So Theresa tiptoed to the corner where the sound was coming from, and then—suddenly peeked out, looking at Yuhaka and Yuexia in the corner of the supply station with a shocked expression, and said:

"You! You! You were secretly eating ice cream?!"

In the corner of the supply station, Yhaka and Yuexia were holding ice cream boxes and looking at Theresa who suddenly appeared with OwO and O-mouth O expressions. Yhaka was obviously not surprised by Theresa's sudden appearance, after all, he could sense Theresa's farting sound from afar with his excellent senses.

Compared to the calm Yuhaka, Yuexia looked a little flustered and turned her head away as if trying to check something. However, Theresa didn't pay attention to this. Theresa thought that Yuexia was panicked because she had caught her eating ice cream.

Theresa, arms crossed, approached the two women, looking at the ice cream in their hands with a puzzled expression, and asked:

"By the way, where did you two get your ice cream? I don't remember ever seeing it at any supply depot."

In response to Theresa's question, Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, immediately replied:

"It's Youyou's OwO/! Do you want Theresa O~O?"

As he spoke, Yuhaka pulled out a packaged ice cream from the dimensional portal and handed it to Theresa, who accepted it without ceremony, saying:

"I want it! Of course I want it!"

In Charles's furnace-like weather, even at lower temperatures, the heat was unbearable for most people. Theresa was even craving some ice-cold bitter melon juice, but unfortunately, there were no fresh fruits or vegetables available. Canned fruit was possible, but canned bitter melon... would anyone actually eat that stuff?

After Theresa took the ice cream from Yohaka, she couldn't wait to open the packaging and take a lick. The cool, refreshing sensation and sweet flavor exploded on her tongue, making Theresa squint her eyes and say:

"Wow~ It's so cool and refreshing, it makes me feel like I've come back to life!"

Seeing Theresa's hesitant expression, Yuhaka tilted her head in confusion. Then, Theresa, licking her ice cream, looked at the two of them with a similarly puzzled expression and asked:

"Speaking of which, did you sneak into this corner of the supply station just to steal ice cream? There's no need for you to hide from me, is there?"

When Theresa asked her question, Yuexia blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed, while Yuhaka, licking his ice cream, stared at Theresa with a puzzled expression. Secretly? Yuexia had openly dragged him here, hadn't she?

However, Theresa quickly sniffed her nose and said with a puzzled look:

"Speaking of which, there's always this sweet smell in the corner here?"
