The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 32 is you? That's great!

Ignoring his female father beside him, Liu Yan stubbornly re-entered the game pod, performed some operations, clicked to start the game, and returned to that desolate land.

Using the tracking device he purchased from the mall, Liu Yan quickly located Qi Min's position, contacted several of his regular teammates, and began heading towards Qi Min's location.

Qi Min had just finished a weapons and equipment collection mission and then began an annihilation mission with the surrounding area as the scene, with a continuous stream of enemies appearing from different directions.

Qi Min used his weapon to shoot accurately, but there were too many enemies, and he couldn't kill them all. In the end, the mission failed.

Stepping out of the game pod, Qi Min felt quite tired, as he wasn't very good at playing. He glanced out the window and noticed that it was getting dark; the afternoon had passed so quickly.

When I went downstairs, Ling Yi had already prepared dinner and put it in a thermal cooker, but he wasn't downstairs.

Upon entering the bedroom, I found Ling Yi engrossed in something.

Qi Min didn't disturb him. After thinking for a moment, he used his personal terminal to place an order for room renovation. He planned to renovate an office room for Ling Yi next to the game room.

Not long after, Ling Yi finished his business and came downstairs. Qi Min was setting the table. When he saw Ling Yi come down, he looked up and smiled.

"I was just about to come and call you."

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, sir. I’ll handle it faster next time,” Ling Yi said to Qi Min.

"Okay, come and eat." Qi Min was at his wit's end and could only take it slow.

Liu Yan, who had led his friends to Qi Min's location, hadn't even seen Qi Min when he discovered that the location had disappeared, indicating that the player had failed the mission and gone offline.

Liu Yan felt a tightness in his chest, an unbearable discomfort that was neither rising nor falling.

....................................

As night fell, the sky resembled paper stained with ink, and the thick darkness seemed to have taken on a tangible form, pressing down tightly on the village below.

The low houses around him were slowly becoming dilapidated. Qi Min ran quickly among the mottled walls and shaky windows, breathing heavily, his whole body completely soaked in sweat.

A simple and solemn house came into Qi Min's view. Looking up at the sign above, he found that it was an ancestral hall.

The chain on the door was loosely hanging, and could be easily pushed open. The humanoid monster behind him was gradually gathering towards Qi Min.

A resolute glint flashed in Qi Min's eyes. He pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall, then closed the door behind him. The monsters outside swarmed forward, but they couldn't break through the fragile door.

The door panel seemed to have a barrier on it, blocking their entry and leaving them only able to howl from the outside.

Qi Min knelt on the ground, panting heavily. Sweat dripped from his chin onto the floor tiles, splashing up tiny wet flowers. But as more water droplets appeared, the wet flowers gradually merged together and became blurred.

"Qi Min? It's you! That's great, you're still alive! Come quick, Brother Xiong is inside too."

A blurry figure suddenly hugged Qi Min and said in surprise.

Qi Min looked at him, her expression somewhat dazed, and could only slowly walk into the ancestral hall as he was pulled along.

There were also several people with indistinct faces inside the ancestral hall. One of them was tall and quickly walked over after seeing Qi Min.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you need any medicine?"

The tall man landed on Qi Min's shoulder and asked him a question. Although the man's words were concerned, Qi Min felt a sense of revulsion, as if he utterly loathed this person.

"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, thank you, Brother Xiong."

Qi Min felt his mouth responding to the person's question without any control over it.

"That's good. We'll rest here for the night. This is an ancestral hall, so those monsters can't get in. We'll look for clues again after dawn."

"You guys, pair up and check that area. Qi Min, you come with me and patrol the surrounding area to eliminate any potential dangers."

After deciding on the division of labor among the group, Brother Xiong spoke to Qi Min in an unquestionable tone.

"Brother Xiong... I want to be with Xiao Tao." Qi Min heard himself answer.

"Hmm? Xiao Tao, then ask him if he wants to be with you..."

Brother Xiong looked at the person who first discovered Qi Min and said something with an ambiguous meaning.

"Ah? Uh, well... Qi Min, I have a companion now. You should stay with Brother Xiong. It'll be safer with Brother Xiong." Xiao Tao said to Qi Min in a few words.

Feeling helpless, Qi Min walked over to Xiong Ge's side and followed him to inspect other areas.

Unlike the low houses outside the village, this ancestral hall occupies a large area, except for the central area where ancestors are worshipped.

On both sides of the ancestral hall, many houses have been built, making it feel more like a small temple than an ancestral hall.

Brother Xiong led Qi Min to the house on the right. After checking two rooms, they entered the third room.

Brother Xiong suddenly closed the door and threw several defense cards onto it.

Qi Min felt as if the already dim room had become even darker, with no light left at all.

"Brother Xiong! What's wrong?!" Qi Min heard his own panicked voice ring out.

"Qi Min, what do you think of me, Brother Xiong?" Brother Xiong asked Qi Min with his back to the door.

"Huh? Brother Xiong, what... what do you mean?"

Qi Min heard his own heart pounding wildly, feeling like it was about to explode.

"Heh, Qi Min, from the moment you entered the dungeon until now, you can't tell what I mean to you, can you?" Brother Xiong asked cryptically.

"I... Brother Xiong, I only see you as an older brother. I really don't have any thoughts like that. Besides, it's so dangerous here. Maybe... maybe we should wait until we get out of the dungeon before we talk about it!" Qi Min's words were tinged with a sense of stalling.

"Leave the dungeon? You said the same thing for the last dungeon, and I believed you, but what happened?"

I can't even find your people! We finally got assigned to the same instance again, and you still think you can fool me? Ha, today… you have no choice but to agree!

After Xiong Ge finished speaking, he pounced on Qi Min. Upon seeing this, Qi Min quickly turned around and ran away.

But his leg, which hadn't fully recovered from running outside, suddenly gave way and he fell to the ground.

Brother Xiong used one hand to hold Qi Min down so he couldn't get up, while his other hand reached out to other places.

"No! Brother Xiong! Let me go!! No!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the dark room...

........................

Ling Yi, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, was suddenly awakened by a murmur; it was Qi Min's voice.

"No, please... please let me go..."

Qi Min looked as if he were trapped in a nightmare, muttering to himself.

"My Lord?" Ling Yi whispered as he approached Qi Min.

Qi Min suddenly opened his eyes and quickly attacked Ling Yi.

Ling Yi reacted quickly, but fearing that her strength might hurt Qi Min, she did not fight back with all her might.

Ultimately, Qi Min used his arm to press against his throat, forcibly suppressing him so he couldn't get up...
