StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 153 Take it or leave it

Andor tilted his head, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Then, with a stretch of his arms, he used the buoyancy of the water to emerge from the water shirtless.

When I got to the edge of the pool, I glanced at the little mute boy.

Under Andor's gaze, the little mute boy shrank even further.

"Andorra, what's wrong?"

Seeing that his expression was not quite right, Shen Qingqing quickly asked.

"You...have you forgotten something?"

Andor narrowed his only eye, looking at her dangerously, neither speaking nor moving, just staring at Shen Qingqing.

Leah followed and whispered in her ear, "I think he might have been injured here; he's not quite right."

As he spoke, he tapped his temple. "I've heard that modified Zerg think differently from normal Zerg, their brains, uh, no, their brain processors are all a bit abnormal."

"It shouldn't be that serious, and..." Shen Qingqing gripped the brain data storage card in her hand, "Didn't he copy his memories into the storage card? As long as the storage card is connected, his memories can be restored, right?"

Even she herself wasn't sure if this method would work.

"How to connect them is a big problem."

Seeing Andor's expression as if he'd never seen an insect before, Lia continued in a low voice, "By the way, do you know where his interface is?"

Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment, mentally going through all the books Lao Ba had given her, and finally concluded, "Maybe... it's on his head."

"Maybe?" Leah suspected that Shen Qingqing was lying to her. "It was all submerged in water, so the connector should have gotten wet and been ruined!"

"What if they applied waterproofing coating beforehand?"

"I don't believe it. Zerg technology isn't that advanced."

“We have to believe it now, whether we like it or not,” Shen Qingqing pointed to Andorra, “Why don’t we go take a look… Where are the Andorra worms?”

Andorra, who was just standing there, has disappeared, leaving only wet stains on the ground.

"That little brat's gone too," Leah said irritably. "Speaking of which, is Andorra planning to dismantle him to fit his parts in?"

"It's not impossible."

Shen Qingqing thought about how Andor had dragged the little mute boy away and pried off the parts on his arm when he woke up, and felt that leaving the two of them alone was definitely not a good thing.

"Following the water stains, the two of them shouldn't have run very far."

On the other side, Andor carried the modified bug, which was almost identical to his own body parts, like a chick, hoping to find tools here to disassemble its delicate components.

After searching through another room without finding any tools, Andorra was getting impatient.

The little mute boy huddled in the corner, afraid to look up, terrified that the modified insect, who was more than one level above him, would dismantle him and take his parts.

Hugging his legs and burying his head in his arms, the little mute boy had just come out of the petri dish and hadn't even had time to catch his breath when he ran into a machine dealer who wanted to take his parts.

Seeing Andor approaching him, the little mute boy quickly waved his arms in front of him as if to drive him away.

Andor lowered his expression, holding the tweezers he had found among the scrap metal, and gestured on the body to see where to start so that he could remove the components intact without damaging them.

The little mute boy, trembling like a leaf, looked flustered and kept his head down, not daring to look at him. He only dared to sneak a quick glance through his hair when he wasn't paying attention, and then quickly buried his head again when he was discovered.

Andor placed a rusty wire on his temple, seemingly wondering why he couldn't see with one of his prosthetic eyes.

Amidst the little mute boy's terrified expression, he removed the metal plates from his eye sockets, which were sealed with metal sheets, and threw the metal sheets on the ground with a crisp sound.

In such a quiet environment, even the slightest noise will be amplified infinitely.

Upon hearing the noise, Shen Qingqing and Liya immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

Andor gestured with his hand to the little mute boy's prosthetic eye, then estimated the size of his own prosthetic eye, seemingly considering whether it could fit.

Unfortunately, the two of them have different prosthetic eye models.

The little mute struggled to escape from Andor's grip on his arms, but the difference in their strength was immense. He was no match for Andor and could only be forced to bend over as Andor examined his body parts.

Seemingly understanding why the child in front of him had the same body as him, Andor's empty eyes revealed a rare sense of bewilderment.

Then he let go of the little mute's arm and went straight to the broken control panel next to him, where he fiddled with something.

Shen Qingqing and Liya, who had finally arrived, were still praying that the unlucky child would not be torn to pieces by Andor. When they rushed in, they saw that Andor was actually repairing the control panel, and the little mute was the one tugging at his trouser leg.

How is this going?

"Andorra didn't disassemble him to get the parts?" Leah asked in confusion.

"Perhaps it's because of the same kind of insect."

Shen Qingqing slowly walked over, took the memory card from Lia's hand, and held it up in front of him. "Andorra, do you remember what this is?"

Andor glanced at her, his gaze falling on the small metal piece in her hand, but he quickly looked away and focused back on fiddling with the instrument in front of him.

He didn't even give her a second glance.

Shen Qingqing's raised hand was a little sore. They hadn't rested for a long time, and even Liya seemed a little exhausted during the run.

"Do you need this?" she said, pulling out a few energy stones from her bosom. She had brought them from the nuclear reactor before she ran over, but she didn't know if the energy stones that had been exposed to nuclear radiation would still work.

Upon seeing the energy stone emitting blue light, Andor's expression finally softened.

He reached out and took the energy stone, examining it for a long time before tossing it to the little mute boy beside him, under Shen Qingqing's expectant gaze.

The little mute boy was very happy to receive the snacks. His eyes were filled with eagerness as he looked at Andor. He then eagerly picked up the energy stone and began to chew it.

"What the hell? Is Andor keeping a pet?" Lia cursed when she saw that Andor didn't take the energy stone seriously.

“I won’t eat this.” Andor pointed to the energy stone in the little mute’s mouth. His eyes were still devoid of emotion as he looked at Shen Qingqing. He spoke in a flat, monotone voice, like a machine that only obeys orders.

"I need energy fluid."

"Tsk, take it or leave it! Do you expect us to beg you to eat it?" After working so hard, being picky about things made Leah the first to object.

"Say what you will, I'm very tired right now and don't want to find you any energy drinks."

After saying that, she lay down to the side and ignored him.

"I need energy fluid."

"You do not need."

"I need……"

"Shut up!"

Shen Qingqing had one energy stone left, but she wasn't sure if Andor could use it after refining it, so she tentatively asked, "Can you refine it? Can you use this energy stone to extract the energy liquid you need?"
