Chapter 143 Did you sneak away again?
"The Zerg brain-mind connection has been activated; only one last problem remains unresolved."
Andor included a list of usable members in his plan, saying, "This is a list of all the Zerg whose mental strength level can withstand the connection pressure. Please take a look."
There are about two hundred insects that are able to withstand mental stress on their own.
Among the densely packed list of Zerg candidates, Shen Qingqing spotted two familiar faces.
Fourteen?! And Vina too!
Shen Qingqing's pupils suddenly contracted; she hadn't expected them to be here!
"Could we incorporate them all into the various nodes of the network? I think it might be too much of a burden to focus all our mental energy on a single Zerg."
"Of course you can, so you can choose your preferred Zerg to take on this important task."
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment and included the Zerg, whom she thought could be included in the list of those who could borrow points. But she hesitated when her eyes fell on two adjacent pictures.
Seeing this, Andor explained to her, "These two are newly joined Zerg. They have never received systematic training before, so their mental strength is slightly fluctuating. However, their mental strength is considered excellent among Zerg, so I took the liberty of adding their names as well."
Shen Qingqing's expression shifted slightly as she touched the two photos placed side by side with her fingers.
"Can I see them before I leave?"
"of course."
Finally, Shen Qingqing added their names to the node list as nodes of the Zerg Spirit Connection Network.
Andor bowed slightly and said, "I will go and arrange your next itinerary."
After everyone had left, Shen Qingqing turned back to check their information in the database.
The information showed that Vina and Fourteen had been added to the starship crew list long before she set off, but she didn't know it at the time.
Moreover, they joined in the mobile laboratory where Earl Selit was located.
Shen Qingqing was somewhat shocked. Could it be that the intruders she and Ge Yuan had heard about before leaving were Vina and Fourteen?
Don't be so ridiculous!
Shen Qingqing felt that her brain was not working properly.
If she had asked one more question back then, wouldn't she have been able to avoid missing out every time?
what a shame.
But soon they will meet again, and then they must ask Vina what they have been through.
Most of the Zerg who were replenishing their energy in the lounge had just come down from the front-line warships. Before they could even rest, Andor called them to a short meeting and then told them to stay in the lounge to rest.
"Fourteen, that Andoran aide said we've all been selected for the node list, what does that mean?" Vina was curious as to why Andoran would suddenly summon them all and start testing their mental strength.
Then they left those Zerg with stronger mental strength here to rest.
"Maybe there's some new mission again." The warship that Fourteen and his crew were on was hit by a laser cannon at the front line. If they hadn't escaped in time, they probably would have fallen into the endless abyss like that warship.
“I heard Shen Qingqing is here too,” Fourteen suddenly said. “I saw her in the Zerg interstellar live stream replay before.”
Although time was short, there was only enough time to take a quick look.
But her voice reached his ears without missing a single word.
"How did you know?" Vina asked, somewhat skeptical.
“We’ve been staying on the starship the whole time and have hardly ever gone out. How did you know she was here too?” Vina looked at Fourteen with curiosity in her eyes. “Did you sneak out behind my back?”
"No," Fourteen insisted stubbornly, "I just went out for some fresh air."
He would never admit that he slipped off the ship while it was stopping in other star systems to purchase supplies in order to find information for Vina.
“We didn’t see her when she went out for some fresh air,” Shen Qingqing’s voice suddenly came.
Vina was startled when she heard the sound.
Turning around, they saw Shen Qingqing leaning against the door, smiling at them.
"Qingqing!" Vina rushed over, hugged Shen Qingqing tightly, and spun her around.
"We haven't heard from you for so long, where have you been? Do you know how worried we are about you..."
Sobbing as she spoke her heart, Vina felt a wonderful sense of relief at having regained what she had lost.
She hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Qingqing, we can stay together, right?"
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Andor replied. “The list of names for the mental connection network has been drawn up, and the Queen needs to return to the planet.”
"Queen Insect?" Vina asked, somewhat puzzled. "Assistant, are you mistaken? Qingqing was someone we met in the Fourth Star System, Fourteen, isn't that right..."
When she saw Fourteen nod at her, Vina suddenly realized, "Fourteen, you knew all along, didn't you?"
He nodded fourteen times.
"why did not you tell me?"
"Isn't it because you always run away after delivering the food?" Fourteen thought to himself.
Before he could even speak, the person had vanished.
Vina hugged Shen Qingqing tightly, crying, her blue eyes filled with worry. "But I heard that being a queen insect is very dangerous. I don't want you to do something so dangerous..."
Shen Qingqing looked at Fourteen, hoping he could help her.
But Fourteen said he would handle his own affairs and wouldn't do it.
"Alright, alright, Vina, I'm just going back for a short while. We'll be reunited soon, and then we'll even go on an interstellar trip!"
Shen Qingqing patted her back to comfort her, "Besides, the Zerg are in dire straits right now, and we have no choice."
Fourteen also spoke up, "Since the aide just said that the list has been drawn up, can you tell me what we can do?"
He remembered that Vina's name was on the initial list.
Andor, who was standing in the background, added, "The Zerg's communication network is currently down, and repairs require a lot of resources. In order to establish communication between various departments as soon as possible, we have decided to use the mental power of tens of thousands of Zerg to build a Zerg mental connection network. You are all on the node list."
Fourteen took the list and nodded as he looked at the introduction.
Kovina wasn't happy about it. "We finally got to see each other, and I don't want to!"
“Vina,” Fourteen said helplessly, “you’re not a child anymore. We should share the burden with Qingqing. We can’t act like a child anymore.”
Vina pouted; she was still reluctant to part ways with Shen Qingqing.
"Alright then, Qingqing, you mustn't lie to the bug. You must come find me when you're done with your work."
"Definitely, we pinky swear."
The three insects made a pinky promise again.
"Whoever lies to the insect is a dog!"
Vina, Fourteen, and Shen Qingqing said their goodbyes. Before leaving, Vina hugged her and pinned a pale pink rose behind Shen Qingqing's ear.
Vina said shamelessly, "These are the roses I raised, and I'm giving them to you. When you come back, you have to give me back a whole patch of roses."
He gestured with his arm to show how big it was, saying, "I want you to come back alive and plant flowers for me. You're not allowed to leave until you've planted a thousand!"
