StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 147 The Theft of the Energy Liquid

But when I looked back, there was nothing there.

Seeing this, Lao Ba made a face at her.

[Scaring myself]

"Don't cause trouble." Shen Qingqing was busy figuring out which road led home and didn't have time to deal with the crazy Lao Ba.

"I remember that besides the glass, there were other uneven, fine sand and dirt on the ground at that time. Let me take a closer look..."

Just as Shen Qingqing squatted down to get a clear look at the details on the ground, the overhead light bulb hummed for a moment, then went out with a snap.

[It's possible the fuse inside the device broke due to aging.]

As soon as Lao Ba finished speaking, the lights went out one by one, as if someone was deliberately manipulating them.

[Maybe it's just... Qingqing, don't run away!] Before Lao Ba could finish speaking, Shen Qingqing had already taken off running while it wasn't paying attention.

I haven't caught up yet!

"You don't need to run!"

Shen Qingqing's voice came from my mind, "Don't you not have a physical body? Why are you worried about this?"

[That's right]

It has no physical form.

But it's still afraid of ghosts!

While Shen Qingqing was still running desperately in the opposite direction, the lights behind her began to go out one by one, like a lurking evil dragon in the shadows, lurking and teasing the little pet that had escaped from her grasp.

Strangely enough, the faster Shen Qingqing ran, the faster the light bulb went out; the slower Shen Qingqing ran, the slower the light bulb went out.

Even when she was about to run out of energy, the light would flash twice, as if urging her to run faster.

Realizing that someone was secretly controlling things, Shen Qingqing gritted her teeth and ran into a room that had already been searched.

With a snap, the door was locked from the inside.

This door was one of the few that still had a lock, and the room was quite spacious. We paid special attention to it during the search, just in case.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.

Shen Qingqing leaned against the door, panting heavily, her heart pounding as if it would burst out of her chest.

The walls, corroded and rusted, emitted a rhythmic thumping sound, much like a distress signal from someone buried in the rubble.

But Shen Qingqing knew that under these circumstances, there could be no insects inside.

Although there is oxygen here, indicating that life can survive in it, there is no food, no water, and not even any trace of insectoid life.

Judging from the rust on the walls, this place has been abandoned for at least fifty or sixty years without any Zerg visits.

The knocking sounds grew more frequent and urgent, as if urging her to hurry up and rescue the insects.

The more this happened, the less Shen Qingqing would come out.

She covered her mouth to avoid making a sound, and even her breathing was very soft.

The sound gradually subsided, as if they had given up when they saw that she refused to come out.

"Should we still go out?" Old Eight asked, trembling.

It thought it would be better to return to the main god's side as a clerk after the mission was over, but it didn't expect this place to be so scary.

"Don't go out yet, I'm worried it's intentional," Shen Qingqing said to Lao Ba in her mind.

"It's possible they deliberately lured us out to attack us; we should always be on the safe side."

Shen Qingqing controlled the pheromones in her body to prevent them from leaking out, so when she woke up, Liya did not smell her scent in the air.

The overhead light bulbs flickered a few times before going completely out.

The entire laboratory was plunged into darkness again, one after another, until it was pitch black.

Shen Qingqing was leaning against the iron gate, about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she suddenly realized that the door behind her seemed to be being pushed hard by something.

So he quickly steadied himself and secretly exerted his strength to prevent the outside things from succeeding.

The force outside was considerable, but it seemed to be intentionally controlled, only subtly increasing its strength, almost causing Shen Qingqing to collapse.

The things outside were probably afraid that the noise from pushing the door open would disturb her.

Shen Qingqing closed her eyes tightly, braced her legs on the ground to support the door, and prevented anything outside from pushing it open.

When she turned off the lights, she noticed that although there were no weapons in the room for self-defense, she saw several long shards of glass. If the handles were wrapped with something, they could still be used as weapons.

So he gritted his teeth and used one foot to reach for the shards of glass in his memory.

Her other foot was in even worse shape; all her strength was on it. Shen Qingqing was covered in cold sweat, and she dared not relax her grip even slightly.

Finally, he reached something with his toes and carefully moved the fragment over.

I only felt a little more at ease after I held hands with both of them.

Although the force pushing the door behind her suddenly disappeared, she remained vigilant, gripping the wrapped glass tightly and looking warily into the dark room.

After a sound came from outside, everything fell silent again.

The energy stones she was holding were scattered all over the floor, emitting a faint blue light in the dark room and illuminating a small area.

After waiting for a while and figuring out that there was probably nothing lying in wait outside, Shen Qingqing slowly got up, leaning on the door, moved her stiff legs a couple of times, and walked towards the energy stones with her sore feet.

Andorra might need it.

The energy stone could emit a faint light, which was especially noticeable in the dark. Shen Qingqing noticed that in addition to the energy stone emitting light, there was something else faintly emitting light above her head.

I squinted and looked, and suddenly realized that it was the energy liquid inside the light tube that was glowing.

But only a few scattered drops of liquid remained inside. It had been filled with energy liquid before, but now only a few scattered drops remained.

Were the things outside the door there because of the energy liquid?

Shen Qingqing looked at the energy stone she was holding in her arms and thought to herself.

After thinking about it, I decided that I should take the risk and send the energy stone back to Andorra.

Although it's risky, you can't stay in your room like a coward forever.

So they cautiously opened a crack in the door, and a pair of dark eyes peered out through the gap, but found nothing unusual.

He moved very gently, making sure not to make a sound from the rusty iron door, before squeezing out through the narrow gap in the door.

The energy stone in her arms had been wrapped in a layer of cloth outside her skirt. Fortunately, the cloth was opaque, so she wouldn't become a sitting duck in the dark.

She was groping her way forward the whole way. She had already forgotten the way, and now there was no lighting in the corridor, so she walked very slowly, practically at a snail's pace.

After going around in circles, she finally arrived at the place where she had started.

Shen Qingqing stood there, stunned, staring at the nearly empty energy liquid inside the giant glass jar.

She remembered that it was full when she first arrived, but now it was empty.

Not only that, even the canned energy liquid that had been stacked next to the power supply device had been overturned, making the ground covered with blue liquid.

Who could steal all the energy liquid in such a short time?

On the back of the tank, two blue footprints on the ground stand out in the darkness.
