Chapter 279: The Path of Strengthening Insecticide_3
“Although she was controlled by the insects, her mind was active, and that Mother Worm seemed unable to modify or read her memories.
“In other words, she witnessed the White Ghost slaughter the Insect Race, and if we let her go, she would become a huge risk.
“We now have only two choices, either kill her or transform her into one of us.”
Yang Ming rubbed his forehead, “What about memory erasure?”
Lyu replied, “She already underwent a memory erasure surgery once. The technique we use is different from that of the New Federation, and even if she can get off the operating table, she will most likely become an idiot.”
026 asked softly, “What about having a good talk with her?”
“Let’s go home and rest for a while, temporarily imprison Hera. I want her to continue researching the insects and keep contributing value.”
Yang Ming wiped his face, flexing his neck,
“The current top priority is to produce enhanced serums. This might also come in handy against the insects.
“Rest assured, I won’t be soft-hearted towards her. Her thoughts are clearly at odds with ours.”
“Okay boss, I’ll arrange the production line on Dark Star.”
Yang Ming got up and walked to the cosmetic instrument, “026, come help me. I need to preserve these dressings; I might still need to use Yali’s identity later.”
“I’m coming!”
026 hurriedly followed him, trotting.
The spinal column on his back shimmered with a faint glow.
…
Seven Galaxy Days later.
In synchronous orbit over Ilando Star, a transport ship was hiding behind the satellite network, maintaining smooth flight around the planet.
In a corner stood a vertical nutrition pod, with several indicator lights continuously flashing. The pale green nutrient liquid was quickly drained, and the small figure in a bathrobe was supported by mechanical arms, her bowed head gently swaying.
She woke up.
Hera gently bit her lip, images crashing into her nerves.
Mother Worm’s revolt, base fallen, she was seized by a full-grown insect, and amidst the chaos, sent onto a transport ship, her scapula pierced by the Mother Worm’s antenna.
When the transport ship burst through the atmosphere, she was nearly in despair.
If the Insect Race escaped alive, they would surely retaliate madly against humanity, and countless would die in this human-made Natural Disaster.
The most ironic part was that the source of this Natural Disaster involved her father’s shadow.
Hera lightly struggled, and the mechanical arms automatically retracted.
Her feet unsteady, she slumped down to the bottom of the nutrition pod, unable to resist retching, her damp hair carrying the strange smell of nutrient solution.
The rest… what happened after…
Hera found it hard to accept.
The transport ship forcefully jumped, and the Insect Race began assimilating this ship.
Assimilation behavior is documented in related materials, a means of survival for the Insect Swarm with higher losses, commonly seen in Third Rank and Second Rank swarms, even higher ranks have appeared as ‘warship insects.’
At this moment, the figure clad in white exoskeleton armor suddenly appeared.
He charged straight into the Insect Swarm.
The Insect Race panicked, and the queen was terrified.
After a brief slaughter, Hera broke free from the queen’s control and passed out.
Now, it was the moment she had just woken up.
That figure… was it really human?
Hera’s fingers were trembling slightly.
“Awake?”
From the front, in a space decorated like a living room, came a slightly familiar greeting.
A man was seated sideways from her, with his legs crossed, holding a paper book, reading intently.
The book was “Emperor’s Biography,” Hera had read it before.
The man spoke warmly, “I suggest you take a bath. This robot butler can help answer some of your questions.”
“Yali?” Hera asked softly.
Although the side profile didn’t look similar, and the voice only slightly, her intuition told her…
Yang Ming turned to glance at Hera, and the light in the living room area gradually brightened.
“How did you recognize me at a glance?” Yang Ming wondered, “I clearly removed the facial disguise.”
Hera opened her mouth, suddenly thinking of that backpack, her eyes wide as she shouted,
“You’re that warrior!”
Yang Ming: …
Having such a smart partner was really not a good thing.
At least not easy to subdue.
