StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 96 Abandoned Warship

Strangely, the detection and warning radars mounted on the starship did not show anything unusual.

In other words, this warship is a Zerg warship.

Just then, Andor and the other Zerg also noticed the suddenly appearing warship and maneuvered their starships to avoid a collision.

"My lord, the information above indicates that this warship is..."

The Zerg member in charge of the report seemed to have something difficult to say, stammering and unable to speak.

“Just say it. There’s no Wang Xing monitoring here,” Andor knew what he was hesitating about, so he told him directly, “We’re already out of Gatana’s control. Just say what you want to say.”

The Zerg who was reporting immediately straightened up and began to report the information they had received.

"Based on the plasma composite cannons it is equipped with and the shape of the warship, it can be preliminarily determined that this is a royal warship of the Royal Family of Wangxing, but it is an old model that has long been discontinued... The last royal warship was declared to have ceased production two hundred years ago..."

"Royal warships? Aren't those reserved for the Crimean royal family?" Andor thought, looking at the dark red warship.

It is said that after Klein took the last warship of that model, there were no more, and even his family's business went bankrupt and ceased operations.

"Send a small team to investigate first, and then make a decision after the search results are available."

"Yes, my esteemed advisor."

Several small spaceships departed from the rear cabin and flew straight to the bottom of the warship.

When Andor found Shen Qingqing, she was using the starship's scanning device to scan the warship with Xiao Sa.

"Sir, you are truly intelligent and quick-witted. You have learned so much in just a few days." This time, the praise was genuine, unlike the previous ones which seemed somewhat insincere.

"Hmm." Shen Qingqing was busy operating the control panel and didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being.

"Little Sa, activate X-ray scan."

After several days of exploration and learning, she has now mastered the basic operation of the starship.

Xiao Sa nodded, stepped forward, and clicked on the panel. Then, the dark red warship began to enter the scanning range.

“It’s an abandoned warship,” Shen Qingqing said, looking at the grayed-out image displayed on it.

“That’s right. The squad we sent out has brought back information. It shows that no signs of life have been found on the warship so far,” Andor said.

He brought the data to Shen Qingqing and then asked for her opinion. "Would you like to see it for yourself? This warship is the very one that Commander Klein took away back then."

Upon hearing that it was Klein's warship, Shen Qingqing, who had initially shown little interest, immediately brightened up.

"Quickly, I need to board the warship now!"

Please, Klein, you absolutely mustn't be on this warship.

After donning protective suits, they boarded the spaceship and gradually approached the warship.

I had only seen the gray color on the panel before, but I didn't expect that when I got closer, the sense of desolation would hit me right in the heart.

What kind of battle could have caused such a massive warship to be so riddled with holes?

The warship had almost no intact frame; from the front, all that remained were broken steel wreckage, while the rear, seen from around it, was even more terrifying.

The warship looked as if it had been broken in half, with large sections of interconnected lines exposed on its back. The paint, now blackened, could not conceal the hardships it had endured. Only the faint blue lines visible inside told them just how brutal the battles had been to reduce this once royal warship to its current wretched state.

"Land from the back," Andorra commanded the descent.

The moment Shen Qingqing stepped onto the warship's deck, it seemed as if he heard countless painful cries of the Zerg.

A devastating roar filled with despair, pain, and helplessness!

Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

Seeing her distraught appearance, Andor assumed she was frightened and was about to step forward to shield her from view, but she refused.

"I just heard their long-cherished wish."

She could hear it, and she could feel it, the mournful cry.

Seeing this, Andor withdrew his gaze and silently paved the way for her.

Everywhere there were severed limbs and remains, everywhere there were traces of the ravages of war, no corner was spared.

They walked through the dense workshops, ducked to avoid the tangled wires overhead, squeezed sideways through the narrow gaps between machines, and crossed that barren, yellow earth.

The roses that were once planted on the soil that the Insect Queen had specially brought from Saint Zeguang Star have now become scorched earth.

The construction of the warship was a massive undertaking, encompassing not only defensive and offensive facilities but also leaving behind a magnificent palace and sea of ​​flowers for the Queen.

Although destroyed by war, the towering framework still reveals the former grandeur and extravagance of the palace.

My fingers touched the withered rose, and all the thorns were pulled out, leaving only the smooth stem.

"Sir, please watch your step."

After walking around the palace for a long time, we still couldn't find any insects.

"Queen Insect, Assistant Officer, we have checked and there are no Zerg survivors on this warship," the dispatched team members reported one by one.

"Moreover, no insectoid bodies belonging to Commander Klein were found on it."

Silence enveloped all the insects. Andor felt there was no need to stay any longer and prepared to order them to leave.

“I think he’s still alive,” Shen Qingqing said, looking up.

“But the truth is, there are no Zerg alive on the warship,” Andor advised. “Although I don’t know why you’re so insistent, that’s the fact.”

Considering how happy she was when she met Saenster before, they must have known each other for a long time. And since Saenster was on Klein's side, it's not surprising that she had a favorable impression of the former commander under Saenster's influence.

"I can feel that he is still alive." Shen Qingqing still stubbornly believes that Klein is not dead.

"Not finding it doesn't mean death; perhaps you just haven't been looking seriously enough."

Shen Qingqing bypassed them and went straight to the ruined palace, where she painstakingly moved the broken walls little by little.

Any insects that tried to help were stopped by Andor.

"Let her do it, don't bother her."

On one side is the insect queen, and on the other is the elders' appointed assistant.

This is a bug that you can't afford to offend either side; doing nothing is also problematic.

Finally, Andor found a high place and sat down to look down at Shen Qingqing, who was digging through the ruins.

Why bother? Klein persisted for over two hundred years, which is already considered one of the longest periods of resistance among rebels.

Although his father had worked with him, he was too young at the time to have any particular impression of the former commander.

The only thing that happened was that Lady Cecilia personally handed him the sword.

The small figure below continued digging slowly, trying to find a miracle from the ruins.
