Chapter 275: Physical Examination

After ending the communication, this humanoid mother Zerg fell into memories.

"So, those humans wearing red headscarves are the kind the children mentioned—soldiers with no Spiritual Power but extraordinary physical fitness? It's a pity they didn't get close to the Church walls; otherwise, I could have controlled them. That way, I might have been able to find something interesting inside their bodies."

Thinking of this, the humanoid mother Zerg manipulated the blood vessels that transported nutrients to the Zerg eggs, stopping the supply to prevent those human soldiers from dying outright; by keeping them alive, she could extract nutrients to the greatest extent.

"However, that is only a matter of time; no need to rush."

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region

In a wide open space, a large number of emaciated survivors descended from the Transport Aircraft. When they saw the fully armed Human Alliance soldiers, the stones in their hearts finally settled.

"We're home!"

"We've finally returned home!"

"Praise that Emperor, otherwise we would be struggling for survival right now. Thank that great one for saving us from danger."

Quite a few survivors had already shed tears at the evacuation point. When they boarded the Transport Aircraft, their hearts were still somewhat tense. Even after the cabin doors closed and the flight was smooth, some survivors still couldn't feel the reality of it.

Not until they waited for the Transport Aircraft to land safely and these survivors stepped onto this land did that different sensation make them overjoyed.

Is this the feeling of being home?

But after these survivors calmed down, they discovered that those Human Alliance soldiers were watching them fully armed, as if they were Zerg.

"What's going on? Can't we leave? Why?"

"What are you planning to do here?"

Some survivors began to question these Human Alliance soldiers. Just then, Lu Zhenda arrived. Seeing these emaciated survivors, he coughed twice and raised his hand to signal for them to quiet down.

"I understand everyone's desire to leave here, I truly do.

However, we have sacrificed so many lives; we cannot let any Alien Race take advantage of the situation. Everyone must stay calm and not be impulsive. After we finish checking everyone's physical condition, we will begin to settle you all."

Originally, these survivors hadn't intended to do anything, as the weapons in the hands of these Human Alliance soldiers had been pointed at them the whole time.

Upon hearing Lu Zhenda say this, the survivors returned to the center of the open space and began to wait for the physical examination, their hearts already beginning to look forward to their future lives.

Among the survivors, there were also a few who felt a surge of panic upon hearing this news, their eyes darting toward the surrounding Human Alliance soldiers, looking for an opportunity to escape.

The survivors sent back afterward were also gathered together. Seeing so many Human survivors, Lu Zhenda was also filled with surprise.

The Human Alliance had not rescued humans from Breeding Grounds for over a decade because those locations were too far away; the Transport Aircraft could not bring survivors back in one trip, and there was a possibility of being shot down by the Zerg.

But now, with Chief Yingzhou, this problem seemed to have been easily solved. After being screened, so many Human survivors would become new labor and sources of troops, which could increase the productivity and defensive strength of the Ninth Defense Zone significantly.

Until the sky was just beginning to brighten and the last Transport Aircraft landed, a 3-meter-tall figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"I knew it, how could he possibly stay obediently in the 46th Legion?"

Lu Zhenda wore a wry smile. Watching Yingzhou descend from the Transport Aircraft, he walked up quickly and saluted, saying:

"Chief, according to Human Alliance regulations, you also need to undergo an examination."

Yingzhou saw Lu Zhenda's expression, nodded, and replied, "Of course, I will accept the examination. This is a procedure everyone must go through."

And those survivors, upon seeing Yingzhou, saw the previously quiet atmosphere instantly ignited.

"Thank you for saving us!"

"Praise your mercy!"

Yingzhou nodded to these Human survivors with a smile and said to all of them in a solemn voice:

"I hope you can cooperate with the examination. Survivors with no issues can lead normal lives, while those with issues... hmph, you know the outcome."

The number of survivors rescued this time was around 【number omitted in source】, and facing so many people, Yingzhou suppressed his inner shame after finishing those solemn words, then handed the scene over to Lu Zhenda while he followed the soldiers to undergo his own examination.

In the end, after a physical examination, nearly 1,000 survivors were found to have been branded with the Zerg Mark! Facing so many traitors, Yingzhou's gaze became incomparably cold; his heart was filled with anger toward these people who had betrayed their human identity.

Their souls had been eroded and twisted by the Zerg.

For such wretches, any words seemed pale and powerless. Thus, Yingzhou waved his hand without hesitation and issued an order to the Human soldiers beside him: "Immediately execute these shameful traitors on the spot!"

Upon receiving the order, the coalition soldiers acted quickly, raising their guns at the panicked survivors and pulling the triggers without hesitation.

After a burst of gunfire, the traitors fell into pools of blood; their sinful bodies met the punishment they deserved.

And Yingzhou stood quietly to the side, watching all of this coldly. He wanted to use this method to tell everyone—the only end for betraying humanity is death!

"Lao Lu, was there anything important while I was away?"

Lu Zhenda arranged for logistics soldiers to comfort the Human survivors who had passed the examination. Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, he spoke slowly:

"Chief, if it's by your standards, then there's nothing important, but I suggest..."

"Hmm, since there's nothing important, just summarize the unimportant matters and hand them to me tomorrow."

Yingzhou didn't wait for Lu Zhenda to finish, interrupting him directly, and then said to Lu Zhenda:

"This time, I also found a soldier from the 66th Legion in the Breeding Ground. He must have been captured by the Zerg when the 66th Legion experienced the Zerg invasion earlier."

After hearing this, Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou in disbelief. After confirming that the other party was not joking, he said in a surprised tone:

"How is this possible? The Zerg rarely capture human soldiers, and it's been almost a year since that war; how could anyone still survive?"

Yingzhou patted Lu Zhenda on the shoulder and said:

"This will depend on you. Settle him down and have him recount what he encountered in as much detail as possible."

"You can rest assured about that, I know what to do."

Lu Zhenda nodded and then said to Yingzhou, "By the way, Chief, since so many Human survivors were rescued this time, I estimate the Council will likely hold an emergency meeting. Since you have returned, you should attend."

"Ah?"
