Chapter 229: Heading to the Military District

Once the Black Qi enveloping Fei Ao Na dissipated, only a pool of blood and some fabric remained where she had been.

Lu Wang looked at the pool of blood, walked up slowly, and covered the blood with a palm stained with Black Qi; in less than a moment, that pool of blood also vanished.

"That should have finished it off. The Zerg brood mother is nothing more than this. Time to go back and report the progress to the master."

As the Black Qi on his palm faded, Lu Wang said dismissively to the fabric on the ground.

After Lu Wang left, a humanoid Zerg appeared inside the luxurious house; it had abandoned this body the moment the Black Qi touched it and hidden itself within this luxurious building.

"I can only find another body. I didn't expect someone in the Ninth Defense Zone Inner City to have defected. I must be more cautious from now on."

As it spoke, the brood mother found a maid who had been killed by Daili earlier, extended a sharp spike from its mouth, and pierced it into the maid's brain. Following a slurping sound, the maid's body deflated like a punctured ball, turning into a human skin.

The brood mother retracted the spike, and its original humanoid body began to change toward the fallen maid; once the physique was mostly transformed, it tore a slit in the back of the skin suit, put it on, and the brood mother used tentacles extended from its back to stitch the slit shut.

Looking at its new body, the brood mother put on the clothes stained red with blood from the floor, ran its right hand across its neck, and whispered to itself at the corner of its mouth.

"Li Xiujing, is it? Family members include... then let's go home. I've encountered quite a few things tonight. I'll lie low for now; those Humans with Faith in the Demon won't let me develop forces in the Inner City so easily. I can only wait for an opportunity."

After adapting to the new body, Li Xiujing stood up and left the luxurious house filled with blood.

On the other side, Pu Lie sat on the sofa listening to Lu Wang's report, stroking his chin as he spoke.

"So you're saying that brood mother has already been killed by you?"

"Yes, even the blood left on the ground has been cleaned up by me."

Lu Wang nodded respectfully in reply.

"Hmm, arrange for people to keep an eye on the Inner City recently. Don't let those filthy Zerg cause trouble where the master is to descend. We need to be ready to welcome my master's arrival at any time!"

Pu Lie raised his head with a devout expression, closed his eyes, and his lips trembled with excitement.

"As you command, my lord."

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

After Yingzhou reported the results of the 17th Production Zone to Ji Bu, he heard Ji Bu speak in a calm tone over the Communication Device.

"Very good, Yingzhou, well done. Although I know you are on leave, if you have time, come to the Military District. I have some things I want you to see."

"Understood, Chief! I will head over immediately!"

After ending the call, Yingzhou looked at Vulkan playing with his mother and said to her with a smile.

"Mom, you look much better now."

His mother held Vulkan's hand, looking at Yingzhou with eyes full of love, and said to him.

"Vulkan is so well-behaved, I am naturally very happy. It's just that I feel this child is growing a bit fast? Xiaozhou, is this okay?"

Yingzhou looked at Vulkan in his mother's arms and shook his head.

"No problem, this child is very healthy. You just need to accompany him as he grows up healthily. Perhaps I will bring back more children in the future."

Hearing Yingzhou say this, his mother suddenly shifted her gaze away from Vulkan, looked at Yingzhou solemnly, and said to him slowly.

"Xiaozhou, what do you mean by that? More children? Where are you getting children from?"

Yingzhou avoided his mother's gaze, looked up at the ceiling, and stammered, "Mom, this... this question is quite complicated. Even if I told you, you might not understand, so there's no need to talk about it."

Seeing that his mother's gaze had not shifted, Yingzhou continued.

"Besides, I'm not sure yet. You should just keep playing with Vulkan."

After saying this, Yingzhou touched the arm Vulkan had extended, then left in a hurry.

"This child, so mysterious, and he won't explain clearly. Vulkan, you must not learn from your father like that."

His mother looked at Vulkan's scarlet pupils and said.

Vulkan could only nod his head to indicate that he understood.

"So smart! Vulkan is amazing!"

After leaving home, Yingzhou thought about Ji Bu asking him to go to the Military District and considered his family's current defensive capabilities; for an ordinary person to try and attack his home would simply be like an egg hitting a rock. Plus, with Vulkan accompanying his mother, he felt no one could threaten his mother and Huang Xi.

"I'll go back to the Military District to take a look. Although I'm on leave, it is the instruction of the Military District Chief, so it's better to go."

Having made his decision, Yingzhou got up and headed toward the Outer City Transport Aircraft Airport.

At the Outer City Airport, Will, having received the communication, learned that Yingzhou—who had looked for him yesterday—would soon be arriving to take a Transport Aircraft to the Military District. He immediately ordered a Transport Aircraft prepared for takeoff to stop and wait for Yingzhou's arrival.

"What's going on? Didn't they just say it was about to take off? Why the change of plans now?"

"I heard it's the person in charge here, Will, who told us not to take off yet."

"Sigh, we'll just have to wait."

A dozen soldiers were gathered together chatting, waiting for the late arrival.

Soon, a figure nearly 2.8 meters tall with a robust build appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Damn, could that be Yingzhou, the one who turned the tide at the Sixty-Sixth Corps and summoned thousands of soldiers to fight with him alone?"

A soldier exclaimed immediately upon seeing Yingzhou's figure.

Upon hearing the name Yingzhou, a pair of soldiers who looked like newlyweds popped their heads out from the cabin of the Transport Aircraft.

"Su Miao, it really is Yingzhou! Damn, he's grown even taller! Just how tall does this guy want to grow?"

"Let me see, my god, it really is him! The feeling Yingzhou gives off now is completely different from when we were at school."

Their conversation caught the attention of the soldiers nearby, and one asked, "Friend, you know that Yingzhou?!"

Bai Tao touched his nose with his right hand and said somewhat embarrassedly, "We do know him; we've always been good friends."

"Damn, you're awesome, brother! In the Military District now, that battle Yingzhou had with the Zerg was just too incredible. Everyone really hopes to see him in person. Fortunately, Yingzhou's physical features are quite distinct, otherwise we really might not have guessed."

The soldier looked at Bai Tao and Su Miao in surprise and said incredulously, then added another sentence.

"It seems the person we were waiting for is him. Hahaha, how lucky!"
