StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 218 Anubis

Although in the end it didn't matter whether the broken engine was repaired or not, Nordlin, as a model worker, would not give up any opportunity to show off in front of Ge Yuan.

They just had to endure the hardship even if they didn't want to.

Despite the raging sandstorm outside, he resolutely went out and got a mouthful of sand to repair the spaceship.

They made an emergency landing.

The main problem is that the engine is broken.

The secondary point is... they made contact with Wang Xing.

The moment the connection was established, even though they couldn't see it, they could still tell from the sound that the other person was gritting their teeth.

Especially Saenster, the whole insect seemed to want to peel the skin off Gobi.

Just as he was about to confront them, the signal was jammed.

The wavelength was disrupted by a signal jammer launched by space pirates.

So, after finally flying out of Wangxing to find the Insect Queen, and finally making contact, they lost her again before they could even exchange two words.

Sarnster exuded an aura of menace that threatened to make him unapproachable.

It froze instantly within a five-meter diameter.

After Andor dismissed the other insects, he stepped forward, holding a small device that looked like a portable radar. "Don't you want to see what this is?"

"I'm not looking," Saenster said irritably. "What kind of junk is this again?"

"It's a treasure that can lead to the mother insect."

Sarnster snatched it away, saying, "Let me take a look first."

Andor smiled, his face saying, "You're too green to mess with me."

A small red dot appeared on the tiny personal radar. It was something Andor had secretly installed inside the insect queen's body during the two days they spent alone together while she was asleep, in order to prevent her from going missing.

The entire implantation process is painless, with no bleeding or pain.

—A masterpiece from Andor, an outstanding scientist of the Zerg.

The scene changes.

We arrived on a golden planet.

After the spaceship crash-landed on this seemingly impoverished planet, Ge Yuan couldn't find a single useful item.

"Damn it, I haven't even seen a single piece of sheet metal."

Ge Yuan said angrily.

The wrench in his hand was knocked askew from being smashed.

She twisted and turned it back.

Shen Qingqing collapsed and couldn't get up because she had overworked her brain.

He looked as if he was studying so hard he was about to faint.

Fortunately, Koster was thoughtful enough to have a lot of supplies in the spaceship cabin, which could sustain them for a while.

At Ge Yuan's command, a second expedition was launched.

He then pointed to the spaceship and told Nordlin to keep an eye on the house.

"Remember not to open the door to strangers, except me."

Nordlin nodded, indicating his commitment to completing the mission.

After Ge Yuan's figure disappeared from sight, he looked inside the spaceship and confirmed that Shen Qingqing was still inside and alive. Then he continued to repair the spaceship outside.

He was humming a little tune as he worked with great enthusiasm.

They paid no attention to what seemed to be something rushing towards them from the yellow sand.

While still asleep, Shen Qingqing had a feeling that something was wrong. She struggled to open her eyes and tried to call out to Ge Yuan, but the moment she opened her eyes, she was confronted by a huge mask.

The person on the other end seemed surprised that she would wake up so quickly, and was momentarily stunned.

Shen Qingqing's mind went blank for a moment when she saw the long-eared, long-mouthed mask that was almost pressed against her face.

Suddenly it dawned on me that this was that statue...

What was his name again? Something like "certainly dead"... Aspi? That's right! It's Anubis!

Shen Qingqing pointed at the mask and shouted it out.

Anubis was extremely nervous.

This was his first time trying to steal someone, and he was discovered before he could even do it.

So, with a determined heart, at the same moment Shen Qingqing cried out, he knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck, then hoisted her onto his shoulder and swaggered away from the spaceship.

Immersed in his own world, Nordlin was unaware that he had been drugged and was still happily gesturing in the air with his tools, pretending to repair the spaceship.

The uncooperative Shen Qingqing could have been unconscious for two or three hours, but unfortunately, being carried on someone's shoulder was too bumpy.

It almost made her bile come out.

Ultimately, I was forced to turn on the computer and go online, and what I saw was a huge Anubis mask.

"Ahhhh——!"

She was startled and jumped back.

Anubis on the other side was also frightened.

They kept backing away.

The two of them stared at each other face to face—no, I mean face to face with their masks—neither willing to speak first.

Anubis looked at her, and she looked at Anubis.

The two remained silent, only staring at each other.

In the end, Shen Qingqing was the first to give in and decide to back down.

“Anubis…may I call you that?”

Even when speaking, one should not forget to observe the other person's expression.

Although you can't tell because of the mask.

But Anubis didn't react, so Shen Qingqing took it as a tacit agreement.

So she took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm, "Where is this? Why did you bring me here? Do we know each other? By the way, aren't you feeling stuffy wearing a mask?"

After asking a long string of questions, Shen Qingqing felt that she was being a bit noisy.

However, Anubis in front of him still did not react.

This made her wonder if he couldn't hear, and she was ready to communicate using sign language when she caught him out of the corner of her eye suddenly stand up.

That height... must be at least 1.9 meters, right?

Shen Qingqing swallowed hard, wondering what he wanted to do.

Anubis picked at his ear, looking impatient. "What gibberish are you spouting?"

Shen Qingqing was overjoyed to hear Anubis finally speak.

Although she probably couldn't understand what he was saying, it at least proved that he could speak.

Being able to speak means being able to communicate.

Anubis, seeing that she was silent again, moved closer and stared at her.

Shen Qingqing looked up and saw the mask on his face.

The atmosphere once again became awkward and strange.

Two children who didn't know each other and couldn't understand each other's language stared at each other blankly.

"I……"

Shen Qingqing opened her mouth, but then suddenly realized the possibility of a language barrier and shut up.

Anubis saw her open her mouth and utter a single syllable before suddenly falling silent. Thinking she had a sore throat, he took a water pouch from his waist and tossed it to her.

Shen Qingqing, who was being fed, looked bewildered and held the water pouch, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that she didn't react, Anubis thought that she might not only look dull, but also lack basic common sense.

He simply opened the water pouch for her, held it to her lips, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Drink water."

"..."

Shen Qingqing hesitated and took a small sip.

Finding that he wasn't looking at her anymore, but instead lowered his head and idly drew circles on the ground with a twig, she felt relieved and started gulping down her water.

She happened to be a little thirsty.

Although Anubis's mask was not facing her, his ears were openly eavesdropping.

As Shen Qingqing swallowed, she licked her dry lips.

He felt a little thirsty too.
