StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 146 Two Little Directionally challenged Kids

Lao Ba said that if Andor doesn't go online, even a god couldn't wake him up.

Fortunately, Lao Ba's system has been upgraded with more privileges. [This is all I can help you with right now.]

Lao Ba imported the e-book into Shen Qingqing's mind: "Whatever type of book you want to read, it's all here. There should be books on how to repair and modify insects."

"Thank you so much!"

This is exactly what Shen Qingqing needs right now.

With these books, she can slowly repair Andorra as long as she finds the materials.

Old Eight stroked the rooster's comb a little sheepishly. "It's all part of the job. The important thing is that you get out of here alive. We're all in this together now; if you're doing well, I'm doing well too."

“But Lao Ba,” Shen Qingqing had heard Lao Ba mention that this was some kind of underground laboratory, and thinking that Lao Ba might know what was inside, she asked, “Do you know…”

[Knowing but not knowing]

Old Eight said firmly, "I only overheard part of their conversation; I really know nothing else. You'll have to find out for yourself."

Hearing Lao Ba's words, Shen Qingqing realized that she would probably have to face this alone this time.

So they dragged Lia and Andor aside and found a relatively secluded spot in the abandoned room to settle them there.

"You two, don't run around. Stay here and wait for me to come back."

Although she knew they couldn't hear her, Shen Qingqing still spoke to them for a while.

Then she walked to the door, glanced inside reluctantly, and then closed the door slightly.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to use a piece of iron to leave a few scratches on the rusty iron floor.

There is an arrow, and next to the arrow is a stick figure walking out.

There was nothing she could do; the ground was too hard, and the metal sheet was too heavy for her to lift.

This was the only way she could tell them that she would go and see if she could find anything useful.

[Host, your drawing is a bit abstract.] Lao Ba's mouth twitched as he looked at the little figure on the ground made up of a circle and a few lines.

“Don’t worry about the details,” Shen Qingqing felt that her painting skills were quite artistic. “At least my paintings are relatively abstract.”

Is this some kind of glitch?

"The difference isn't that much."

The place was much larger than she had imagined, and the facilities were much more dilapidated.

Shen Qingqing walked down the dark corridor. Although she had tried to lighten her steps, the rusted floorboards still creaked and groaned as she stepped on them.

It looked like it was about to break at any moment.

Moreover, the visibility is poor due to the darkness.

Based on her memory, Shen Qingqing felt that the Zerg would not not have lights in the laboratory. She had seen the light tubes controlling the lighting facilities in the mobile laboratory of that research institute before, which were usually about two meters behind the door.

After reaching out and feeling around for a moment, I did indeed touch a protrusion.

At this point, we can't worry about getting electrocuted; figuring out the facilities here is the most important thing.

With a snap, the lights above turned on one after another.

The sudden bright light made it impossible for her to open her eyes.

After her eyes adjusted to the light, Shen Qingqing realized what had almost tripped her up in the corridor.

It seems she has arrived at the energy control center.

Shen Qingqing stood in front of the huge energy supply facility that was constantly emitting blue light, like an ant seeing a giant tree. The energy flowing in the countless semi-transparent pipes illuminated every corner.

Shen Qingqing accidentally turned on a part of the power supply facility, causing the central control system to start operating for a short period of time.

Upon reaching the central control area, I saw a main switch, which must be the main switch for the entire laboratory.

Thinking it over, Shen Qingqing pulled the switch down hard.

The energy liquid, which had been slowly flowing together as if stuck together, suddenly seemed to be cleared and flowed rapidly in different directions, powering the entire laboratory.

"It looks like we've come to a good place."

Shen Qingqing recalled what Andor had said before: that the core device inside his body was powered by a special kind of energy fluid, and that she had seen the energy fluid flowing inside Andor's body before.

It looks very similar to the color flowing through the pipes in front of us.

Anyway, bring some with you, they might come in handy.

So before leaving, Shen Qingqing found a large amount of energy near the device.

However, they are all relatively large in size.

However, some of the energy particles were only the size of a palm, which seemed to be unrefined minerals.

Shen Qingqing put the energy bodies into her arms and carried them to other rooms.

As soon as they left, a dark figure appeared and disappeared quickly in the energy center tank that originally contained light blue energy liquid, and the energy in the pipe also froze for a moment the instant the dark figure appeared.

Once the shadow disappeared, the liquid light carrying the energy dimmed slightly.

The overhead light flickered occasionally, and Shen Qingqing noticed that things were a little different here than before.

[It might be due to unstable voltage.] Old Ba seemed used to it, handling these things with ease. [Just like how I often disconnect for no reason, it's all caused by poor current or power consumption, don't worry about it too much.]

"But I clearly turned on the energy supply device just now, there shouldn't be an energy shortage." Shen Qingqing still felt something was wrong.

Could it be that the energy was stolen?

[Host, stop being so suspicious. Let's go to the next room.]

The room was empty except for a few lonely, broken jars lying on the floor, as if something had burst out of them.

Shen Qingqing frowned; this place looked a bit eerie.

But Lao Ba kept saying it was fine, ["It was probably used for biological experiments before, and it's normal for things inside to break down due to years of disrepair."]

I entered several rooms in a row, and the situation was the same in each one.

Broken jars, and an empty room that looked like it had been ransacked.

In short, there was nothing useful at all.

The place was very large, and the winding paths made Shen Qingqing a little dizzy.

"Do you remember the way we came?" Shen Qingqing thought she might be seeing things, otherwise how could the roads in front of her all look exactly the same?

"You don't remember the way?!" Old Eight's roar almost shattered her eardrums.

You don't even remember where we came from?!

“These roads all look the same, I can’t tell them apart,” Shen Qingqing said, struggling at the fork in the road.

She remembered that when she arrived, there was a shard of glass on the road that had cut her knee.

How come that shard of glass has disappeared again?

Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

But the injury on my knee is still throbbing.

Clutching the energy stones tightly in her arms, Shen Qingqing seemed to hear rustling sounds behind her.
