Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

The matter of the alien beasts, apart from the core few insects, was not announced to the insect people outside.

Jiang Xu's question was undoubtedly a bombshell among them.

Jiang Xu turned to look at him, not hiding anything: "I went to the south a while ago."

When he said the word "South," Zoe's face became very serious.

After all, it's common knowledge in their circle that the Jiang family doesn't accept orders from the south or cooperate with any forces there.

And what did the male insect on the other side say?

"You went to the south?"

"Yes, I went to the south." Jiang Xu looked at Zoe and added calmly, "When we came back, we brought back a strange beast."

This statement undoubtedly supplements and corroborates Jiang Xu's previous statement.

Zoran's face instantly darkened: "Weren't the alien beasts eliminated long ago?"

The great war between the Zerg and the alien beasts was etched in the memories of every Zerg.

So where did this strange beast come from?

wrong!

Why are strange beasts reappearing?

He was filled with questions.

"I don't know." Jiang Xu answered honestly. After all, he only knew about the modern history of the Zerg. Who would bother to dig up old stories from hundreds of years ago?

"........." Zoe looked at Jiang Xu, who answered crisply and decisively, and the question that was about to come out of her mouth was swallowed back.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Some insects looked terrified, some looked bewildered, and some were at a loss.

Jiang Xu, however, was truly completely unaware of this.

Each insect harbors its own thoughts, and silence spreads.

Lan observed the expressions of the insects present and broke the silence first: "We extracted the genes of that strange beast during this period of time."

The insects immediately turned their gazes toward him.

He paused, then continued, "It's one of those surviving beasts from back then. They didn't participate in the war against the Zerg, so the Zerg spared their lives."

"That's not right." Fei frowned and quickly retorted, "That strange beast doesn't match anything described in the book."

He remembered asking Shuya at the time, but she wasn't sure what kind of strange beast it was either.

"Hmm." Lan glanced at him and said slowly, "It doesn't match up. Because that beast was used for experiments by insects."

"An experiment!" Fei's expression was extremely serious, with a hint of ruthlessness. "Have those insects gone mad? Have they forgotten the damage the alien beasts inflicted on the insect planet?"

How many female Zerglings sacrificed their lives back then?

The number of female Zerglings sent to the front lines was almost depleted, and the casualties were too heavy. Meanwhile, the alien beasts on the other side were too powerful, so the Zerg had no choice but to send all the female Zerglings to the battlefield.

Two-thirds of the Zerg females died before they could barely win the battle.

"No, they haven't forgotten." Lan reminded her, "So you didn't notice? Those strange beasts are being controlled by an unknown force."

Furthermore, where are these strange beasts appearing now?

Fei fell silent, his mind replaying the suspicious points Morgan had mentioned when he went to investigate the western front.

"Then their experiment has been going on for at least thirty-seven years."

"?" Lan looked puzzled. "How did you know?"

"When Major General Morgan was a child, he was killed in a plane crash and landed on a chaotic planet," Fei paused, then added, "His mother was killed around that time."

Lan fell silent instantly. Thirty-seven years!

Seeing the solemn expressions on the two insects' faces, Jiang Xu added, "Back in the day, in the western suburbs of the capital, my great-grandfather may have also seen the strange beast."

Jiang Xu's words were another bombshell.

If it were a chaotic star, they could comfort themselves by saying that it was too far from the insect planet to detect; the western battlefield could also be considered lucky, but it was in the western suburbs of the capital!

They were only a few steps away.

Lan looked at Jiang Xu with a serious expression and asked solemnly, "Is what you said true?"

"I never lie." Jiang Xu finished speaking, paused slightly, and subconsciously looked at Fei beside him.

Uh... it seems this condition doesn't hold true.

Forget it.

He looked up at the female insect opposite him, but she did not notice anything unusual about him.

Well then, that's settled.

Why do I feel inexplicably guilty?

The topic of the strange beasts had been discussed for a long time, and Bernd seemed to only then realize that Jiang Xu, whose expression was normal, showed no fear whatsoever.

"Aren't you afraid?" The thought of the other person spending time with the strange beasts made the hairs on his body stand on end.

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Xu looked at him, puzzled, then suddenly realized, "You mean a strange beast? I'm not afraid. Apart from being a bit ugly, it's alright."

"........." Bernd stared at him in astonishment: "Really?"

"I would lie?" Jiang Xu was stunned again after saying that.

Well........

Without realizing it, I seem to have said a few things that contradicted my own words today.

However, this time, Bernd's eyes did not escape his gaze. He jumped up instantly: "You were stunned just now. Were you actually scared?"

"I'm afraid, but I won't lose any insects. Look at me, I'm afraid."

"........." Jiang Xu looked at the other person's seemingly comforting expression, and wanted to explain, but then thought better of it.

Why bother arguing with him about these things?

Fei glanced at Jiang Xu, and he knew whether the other was lying or not, so he caught Jiang Xu's indescribable expression.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense." Jiang Xu stopped Bernd, too lazy to argue with him, and steered the conversation back to the main point: "What action are you planning to take?"

He looked at Lan.

Upon hearing this, Lan glanced at Fei. Although Jiang Xu didn't know the whole story, they had already explained the subsequent itinerary to Fei.

Judging from the situation, Fei probably hasn't told Jiang Xu yet.

He composed himself and replied, "Follow-up matters will depend on the unified arrangements of the military. We are currently on standby."

Jiang Xu keenly noticed the fleeting evasiveness in his eyes.

"Hmm." All the insects were reluctant to discuss the topic of strange beasts, and Jiang Xu, seeing that they were unwilling to talk about it further, did not press them further.

He then started chatting with Zoe, rambling about some problems he was encountering at work, and the atmosphere in the room gradually eased.

Even Bernd started chiming in.

Jiang Xu was actually somewhat surprised by Bernd's insight. After all, in his eyes, Bernd wasn't exactly a reliable person.

What he didn't notice was that, in order to catch up with them, the other party had worked hard silently to get to where they were today, which was truly remarkable.

Although Bernd's words had a few flaws, overall, the core points were not too problematic, which made Jiang Xu look at him in a different light.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bernd, who was speaking, suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Xu with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Xu shrugged slightly, his expression natural: "It's nothing, I just found you to be more capable than I imagined."

Bernd was somewhat surprised by Jiang Xu's praise, but he quickly raised his head high and a smug smile appeared on his lips:

"Don't make a fuss. I have even more amazing skills to offer, and I'll give you plenty of opportunities to see them in the future."
