On the barren planet, there was no shortage of Zergs. Even if
a trench was dug after the rock barrier broke, it could not completely stop the
Zergs from crawling over.
Jian Ning’s mental power could not be detected using
detection stones on the barren planet. He could treat other people’s mental
power, but he did not have his own defensive, aggressive mental power.
The little child was addicted to growing vegetables and
didn’t care about his mental power. However, the uncles and aunts were always
worried. In order to increase the child’s ability to protect himself, the
adults not only taught him how to fight, but also how to kill Zergs.
The small Zerg just now was easy for the child to kill.
“Here you go. Now you don’t have to be scared.”
After killing the Zerg on the little girl’s stomach, Ningning
passed the candy over: “The candy from Principal Hardy is really good!”
Principal Hardy looked strict and seemed to dislike children,
but Ningning knew from gossiping with Auntie Ai Wei that Principal Hardy actually
liked children!
Every time he saw Principal Hardy, he would say hello.
Gradually, after seeing him, although the principal still had a stern face, he
would take out food from his pocket and give it to him.
Sometimes it was a candy, and sometimes it was a bag of
biscuits. In short, Principal Hardy’s pocket was like a magical treasure bag!
The dead Zerg was thrown on the ground.
The little girl had not yet taken the candy, and her mother
cried out in fear: “You killed it, we are all finished!”
The little girl’s mother stared at the Zerg on the ground
with a dead look, her expression changing from fear to despair.
Zhan Xi’s eyebrows slightly furrowed: “If my son didn’t kill
it, it will be your daughter who dies.”
The woman’s cry was suppressed, as if she didn’t want to
alarm the outside.
She choked and said, “Even if we kill it, we will still die.
Not only us, but our neighbors will also be implicated.”
The young child who killed the little Zerg listened to the
woman crying and looked at the trembling little girl in fear. His beautiful
black eyes were filled with confusion.
If the Zerg was not killed, the little girl in front of them
would die.
But even after killing the Zerg, they were still crying.
The young child didn’t know if he had done the wrong thing, holding
the military knife given to him by Zhan Xi, his expression was at a loss.
Zhan Xi noticed the confusion on the young child’s face and
reached out to pat his head, comforting him softly. “You didn’t do anything
wrong when you wanted to save this older sister.”
He looked up at the woman and said, “Don’t cry. I will take
care of this.”
The woman looked at him with distrust.
On the Ouyun Star, under the rule of the Zergs, humans had
become the lowest form of “bed.”
Even if it wasn’t for laying eggs, some Zergs would
randomly enter the human body to “rest,” just to feel the warmth inside.
Humans on the Ouyun Star were the lowest of the low.
In order to ensure a continuous source of energy, the Zergs
would control the human population. They wouldn’t allow their own kind to kill
too many humans, but humans couldn’t rebel against the Zergs, either.
Even if the Zerg crawled onto your belly and tore it open,
you couldn’t resist at all.
Otherwise, your family and neighbors would all die.
Of course, if your neighbors reported your rebellious
behavior in advance, your neighbors would be exempt from the death penalty, and
only your whole family would be killed.
Zhan Xi listened to the woman explaining the rules here and
after listening for a while, anger began to surface in his eyes. “These
disgusting Zergs shouldn’t exist in this world.”
To ease the woman’s fear, Zhan Xi squatted down and
skillfully disposed of the Zerg’s body.
He destroyed the body and said to the woman, “The imperial
army has already surrounded this place. Don’t worry, it won’t be long before
there are no more Zergs on Ouyun Star.”
When he mentioned the Empire, the woman’s eyes lit up
slightly: “The Empire... is it the Empire of Emperor Ludwig?”
“Um.”
Zhan Xi nodded and said, “In addition to Ludwig, there is
also Marshal Twain and General Mans.”
The names he mentioned were all notorious figures from many
years ago, and the woman could indeed recognize them when she heard their
names.
“They, they will all come here?!”
The woman’s face was full of incredulity: “Ouyun Star is not
their territory, why would they come here? This place is full of Zergs, and the
environment has long been destroyed. Are they trying to take over this place?
But that’s not profitable at all.”
The woman couldn’t figure out the reason why these big shots
would send troops here.
They were not the subjects of these big shots, so it was
unreasonable to expect their protection.
Zhan Xi looked down at the two little children in front of
him, and thought to himself that if the Zerg king wanted to rob someone, it
could have chosen anyone, but it had to rob these two little children.
His Ningning was the darling of the imperial royal family.
The royal family would pamper and play with the little child, spoiling him to
no end.
The other child, Wagner, was the only son of the Federation
Marshal, and his status was not much inferior to that of the imperial prince.
Before these two children were abducted here, they had cried
and called many people.
It was just an Ouyun star. In the past, everyone didn’t
bother with it, not because they couldn’t do anything, but because they didn’t
care enough to intervene.
Now, Zhan Xi could already imagine how it would be destroyed.
With Zhan Xi’s comfort, the woman’s emotions finally calmed
down. She held her daughter on the bed, and tears of joy fell from her eyes.
“Nana, we are saved.”
Her daughter had been living in this environment since she
was born.
Although she’s only four and a half years old, my daughter
was not lively or cheerful at all. Life was scary for her, as she’s always
afraid of dying.
The house they’re staying in was very basic, with some
windows even missing large portions.
Zhan Xi and the two children were taking a break here. He
hadn’t touched any of the doors or windows, instead leaving everything as it
was.
As night fell, Zhan Xi continued to ask Annie about the
situation here and where people would go if they lose control of their mental
power.
The adults were talking while the children huddled together.
Jian Ning had many pockets on his clothes, and Zhan Xi liked
to put extra food in them for him. He could eat whatever he wanted whenever he
wanted.
No matter when it was, Ningning always managed to fill his
pockets.
Ningning’s pockets sponsored tonight’s dinner!
The children gave food to Annie and Nana, but Jian Ning kept
his favorite sweet cake and put it in his pocket, patting it affectionately.
Zhan Xi saw this and asked, “Why don’t you give the cake to
your sister?”
Jian Ning pointed at the cookie in Nana’s hand and said
seriously, “The cookie is for my sister, and the cake is for Uncle Lulu.”
Jian Ning remembered what that Zerg king said about Uncle
Lulu. If he found Uncle Lulu on the Blue Star, he should give him the cake
before getting angry again.
Zhan Xi asked a few more questions and then lost interest.
Perhaps Zhan Xi had a good personal charm, as Annie quickly
came to trust him during their brief interaction.
He asked questions, and Annie answered them seriously.
“People who lose control of their mental powers will be
immediately executed here,” Annie explained to Zhan Xi. “People who live here
undergo mental power testing from birth. If a baby is born with a high level of
mental power, they will be eaten on the spot. In addition to the testing at
birth, mental power is tested every two months. If anyone’s mental power
increases during the test, they will be killed.”
High levels of mental power indicated high levels of
aggression. The Zerg would not allow their “livestock” to have the ability to
harm their owners.
“As for your question about where people go if they lose
control of their mental powers or where they are kept, I only know of one
place.”
“What place?”
Under Zhan Xi’s gaze, Annie hesitated for a long time before
uttering three words: “The garbage dump.”
“...?”
Upon hearing the words “garbage dump,” the Ningning’s ears
perked up. “Garbage! Ningning picks up garbage!”
Before Zhan Xi’s weight loss buns had become a popular item,
he spent his days either studying various fillings or going out to pick up
garbage.
When the young child came back from school and saw his father
picking up garbage, he was not disgusted at all. He even found a shopping bag
from a mall and went outside to pick up bottles and cardboard boxes!
Dad said that picking up garbage could earn a lot of money.
The young child who wanted to pick up garbage ran to his
father and climbed onto his lap, obediently listening to their conversation.
Annie looked at the young child and moved her lips.
In a lowered voice, she said, “The garbage dump I mentioned
may be different from what you think of as a garbage dump. We are called
‘garbage’ here, so the garbage dump--“
“Refers to the place where our corpses are piled up.”
After the Zergs enjoyed their bodies, they did not need the
remaining broken bodies. At this time, the broken bodies, which were like
garbage in the eyes of the Zergs, were piled up.
“Our bodies may be incomplete, but the residual mental power
sometimes has not dissipated. To avoid the attacks brought by the residual
mental power, the garbage dump area has been modified.”
“In the garbage dump, the violent mental power will not
spread.”
Annie’s description of the garbage dump left the small child
on his father’s lap dumbfounded. He looked up at his father with a puzzled
expression.
Zhan Xi knew these Zergs were disgusting, but after hearing
the specifics of how disgusting they were, he felt even more angry.
He had to go to the garbage dump.
But it seemed unsuitable for the young children to go to
there, where there were human remains everywhere, and the children would
probably be scared.
As he pondered with a furrowed brow, there was a commotion
not far away.
“Get up and check!”
“Have you seen two foreign and strange children, this tall, possibly
with an adult, nearby?”
Zhan Xi sensitively caught the sound and picked up the words
‘two children’, then he quickly picked up Ningning and Wagner.
Then he said goodbye to Annie, “We’ll leave first and come
back for you later. You have to be careful and wait for us to come back.”
“Okay.”
Annie watched them leave and hugged her daughter nervously.
Zhan Xi’s speed was extremely fast.
He headed in the direction of the garbage dump with the two
children.
There was a good chance that Ludwig was there. Before leaving
the Ouyun Star, they had to find Ludwig as soon as possible.
***
Zhan Xi’s deduction was correct.
Deep within the so-called ‘garbage dump’, the emperor’s
mental power had gone into a frenzy, and his golden eyes had lost almost all
rationality.
He tightly gripped the sword he carried, its blade stained
with red blood.
The blood of the royal Zerg race.
It was a pity that he had not yet beheaded the strange new
Zerg king.
Intense waves of pain washed over him, and the emperor’s 3S+
mental power meant that the suffering he endured was beyond anyone’s
imagination.
He held onto the sword, his eyes fixed in the distance.
Now, he had two choices:
First, completely let go of his mental power and allow the
consequences to be that all life on Ouyun Star would be slaughtered with him.
It was unlikely that he would be able to regain control.
Second, continue to endure in this place, not using his
mental power, allowing the violent outburst to slowly subside.
Two choices, two outcomes.
A small yellow duckling on the handle of the sword swayed
back and forth in front of the emperor’s eyes.
He had just decided to choose the second option when he heard
the people who had just been brought to the garbage dump talking.
These people spoke casually as they awaited death.
They were saying that the Zerg king had caught a child, a
child with a milk bottle hanging from his neck.
This news entered the emperor’s ears, and the golden eyes
that had maintained the last shred of sanity suddenly turned cold.
Gripping the sword with the little duck, the emperor dragged
it and walked step-by-step forward.
Thanks for the update! ^^)❤
