Chapter 112 You are thinking too much
Nordlin turned his evil gaze toward his good brother Andor.
Andorra pretended not to hear, and after taking most of the money, he made a hasty escape.
So his attention turned to his brother-in-law again, but Klein said that he was currently owed wages and could not provide him with financial assistance at the moment.
“However, I can give you some advice,” Klein said. “You can take this ‘Zerg Job Guide’ with you for help.”
Nordlin picked up the thin booklet and flipped through it casually.
Then he said, "Two hundred thousand star coins."
Nordlin put down the booklet and walked toward the errand boy.
The young man was so intimidated by the imposing and powerful aura of the insect that he momentarily forgot to dodge.
Nordlin bent down slightly and reluctantly took out his savings from his pocket.
The interstellar bank savings card was placed in the young man's hand. Nordlin's eyes were filled with tears, and his lips trembled uncontrollably. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a single sentence, "Take good care of it for me..."
At the same time, Shen Qingqing and Michelle finished their discussion on the war and were about to head to the meeting room.
"Mother Insect, you'd better slow down. There are no insects here that will catch you."
Michelle chuckled and teased, following behind Shen Qingqing as she skipped and hopped towards the reception room.
Like a little rabbit.
"And as far as I know, Klein is in here too. Aren't you afraid that Alex might do something after seeing him?"
Shen Qingqing abruptly stopped. "It shouldn't be, right?"
“Not necessarily~” Michelle hugged her from behind, put her head in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath, which caused a violent struggle.
“Alex is the son of the Grand Elder, and the Council of Elders has already begun discussions regarding the historical legacy of the Zerg. Their suggestion is—”
Michelle kept her in suspense, breathing warm air into her ear, "I suggest granting the power directly to Gatana."
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything."
Michelle was extremely aggrieved, but a smile appeared in her golden eyes. "It's the elders' idea. They want to strip you of your power and make you a mere mascot or ornament, or even something less."
Shen Qingqing broke free from his embrace, staggered a few steps to steady herself, and looked at him. "I have no intention of seizing power from Gatana. I just want the Zerg to return to its prosperous state. As for who has the power, it doesn't matter. As long as I can lead the Zerg to prosperity, it is justifiable to hand over the power to whoever I want."
“You truly have a noble heart,” Michelle bowed slightly and gestured for him to proceed. “Then please, our little mascot, take your time and go to the reception room.”
It's said that three women make a drama, but a group of men can be even more dramatic.
Klein immediately shielded Shen Qingqing behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
When Michelle saw him, her smile widened. "Isn't this our former commander-in-chief? You look to be in good spirits."
Klein ignored him and instead turned around to pull Shen Qingqing's shawl tighter around her shoulders. "Are you cold?"
"Kind of."
"I was worried that there wouldn't be any styles you liked on the starship, so I brought the clothes from the spaceship."
……
Michelle felt like an outsider.
After coughing twice to attract the attention of all the insects, Michelle spoke up, "Let's stop chatting here. There are too many places on the starship that need the Queen."
As soon as he said that, Klein looked at him warily again.
Michelle sighed, "Didn't you notice when you first came down that there didn't seem to be any riots on the starship? That's because a batch of experimental subjects were put into use. Now that the Queen has arrived, the task of calming down the Zerg is yours."
Then she winked at Shen Qingqing, "Mother Insect, would you like to come with me to see the insects in Group A? Their figures, appearances, and abilities are all top-notch."
"Those selected from millions of insects are all elites of the insect race. Isn't the insect queen curious about what they look like and what abilities they have?"
Shen Qingqing was somewhat tempted by what she heard.
It seems she has never had any contact with the Zerg masses, only seen them from afar a few times.
Besides, the Zerg do need her to appease them.
Shen Qingqing wanted to follow him, but Klein stopped her, saying, "Michelle, what are you up to?"
"I'm innocent, my lord!" Michelle, unaware of her mistake, persisted. "I only wanted the weary Zerg warriors to see their beloved Zerg Queen, that's all I meant. Please don't misunderstand, my lord!"
Michelle seemed to enjoy making a fuss and having fun, spending the whole way either talking about how Nordlin had become rough again or teasing Shen Qingqing.
Andorra joined them halfway through the journey.
He said, "I am an assistant sent by the Elders to protect the Queen's safety, and it is necessary for me to follow her for her safety."
So I joined as well.
A large group of insects formed the Insect Mother's expedition team, and they traveled smoothly without any obstacles. Several tall and powerful insects surrounded her firmly in the middle.
She didn't even need to move her legs; she could simply stand there and be pushed around by a few insects.
Besides, after walking for so long, she hadn't seen a single insect.
Or perhaps it's because they're too tall, blocking her view.
Whether intentionally or not, Shen Qingqing always felt that they were not very willing to let her see other insects.
Caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward, Shen Qingqing felt like she was about to be squeezed into a meat patty, and hurriedly tried to escape from the wall of flesh by twisting her legs.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to suffocate, Andor squeezed in among the other insects' eyes, creating a small space for Shen Qingqing to move around.
"Thank you, thank you..."
If Andor hadn't squeezed in, she probably would have been turned into a meat pie in a little while.
What a close call! The first insect queen in history to be crushed to death was almost born!
"My lord, you're welcome."
Unsurprisingly, I received several sharp glances from above.
Andorra stated that throwing objects from high-rise buildings is prohibited, and violators will bear the consequences.
It was actually a little different from what Shen Qingqing had imagined.
She had imagined that Leah and the others would be locked in cages or hung outside for the Zerg to admire and play with, like in the movies, but what she saw before her eyes shattered her illusions.
Leah was lying on a recliner, holding a small fork in her hand, with a pudding cake on the table. The whole insect exuded an aura of 'I'm doing just fine'.
"Didn't they say they were all sent to the front lines and tortured? How come..." Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded.
Michelle told her, "Although the Zerg are bloody and brutal, they still have their Zerg nature. Besides, how could a female who can help the Zerg relieve their anxiety really be abused?"
In short: You're overthinking it.
Shen Qingqing said: That annoying Gatana, he lied to her again!
