Chapter 320: Movements

"This little one is sleeping quite soundly."

Yingzhou came before the crib of his eldest brother's daughter, Yingxin, and seeing the little one who had just fallen asleep, a smile appeared at the corners of Yingzhou's mouth.

Thinking of how he had previously drawn an Improve Physical Fitness Opportunity, he had originally intended to use it for his mother, but now, seeing Yingxin, Yingzhou changed his mind.

Yingzhou's mother would generally be fine in her current situation, and since Yingying was the only child of his eldest brother in this world, raising her strength would give her the ability to protect herself even if there were accidents in the future.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou called out to the system in his heart.

"System, use the Improve Physical Fitness Opportunity."

"Consuming 1 opportunity. Please select a target. After activation, there will be a short period of stillness; please do not move around, host."

Yingzhou only felt a layer of pale golden light appear on his right hand, with a trace of red inside it.

Afterwards, after aiming his right hand at Yingxin, a gentle force entered Yingying's body and began to improve Yingxin's physical fitness.

Yingzhou's actions also attracted the attention of Vulkan and Yingzhou's mother; one could see Yingzhou's right hand spread open, his palm aimed at Yingxin, as a force mixed with gold and a trace of red entered Yingying's body.

"Xiaozhou, what are you doing?"

Yingzhou's mother, holding Angron in her arms, opened her mouth to ask Yingzhou.

"I am improving Yingxin's physical fitness; consider it a welcome gift for her."

After the system prompt ended, Yingzhou withdrew his palm and said to Yingzhou's mother.

"Mom, there are still things to do at the Military District, so I will be leaving first."

Yingzhou's mother looked at her son, who had not been home long but was already leaving again, and thinking of the responsibilities her son carried, the thousands of words on her lips turned into:

"Be careful, don't push yourself too hard."

"Mm, don't worry! Mom, I know what I'm doing!" Yingzhou said while slowly walking toward the door.

Walking to the door, Yingzhou looked back again, looked at his mother whose hair had begun to turn white, and said softly once more: "I will be fine."

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

"When will the Chief return! With this kind of situation happening, this isn't a problem that can be solved just by sending troops; the Military District needs to have its backbone here."

Lu Zhenda looked at the mountain of documents and said somewhat brokenly.

He placed the pen in his hand onto the desk, stood up to stretch his stiff body, and used his hands to rub his already sore eyes.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps ran to the office door, and after opening the office door, a communications soldier walked in, saluted Lu Zhenda, and said.

"Officer Lu, the Chief has already left the Inner City and first returned to the Family Residential Area; he said he will come over by Transport Aircraft in a while."

After hearing this news, Lu Zhenda was completely bewildered.

What is going on? At a time like this, why go back for a trip? However, it is good that he can return now.

After Lu Zhenda nodded, he signaled for this communications soldier to go down, while he himself continued to start flipping through documents.

Not long after, Lu Zhenda heard Yingzhou's voice coming from outside.

"Lao Lu, what is the situation now?"

Immediately following, that 3-meter-tall figure appeared at the office door; it was none other than Yingzhou, who had hurried over.

Lu Zhenda immediately stood up, picked up a document from his desk, opened it, and said to Yingzhou.

"Chief, more than half of the Legions on the front line have reported situations of Zerg restlessness, which has made the Legion Commanders of these Legions feel a crisis, and they have already begun full-scale vigilance against the Zerg's movements."

"Half? How long has it been this time? And more than half of the Legions' defensive zones have had this situation?"

Yingzhou felt even more that something was wrong; the Zerg were currently in conflict with the Beast Race, yet the Zerg here actually still had the intention to attack—he had to test their situation.

"Lao Lu, have those Zerg all assumed an offensive posture?"

Yingzhou sat in his chair, crossed his hands, and asked Lu Zhenda.

"That hasn't happened, but compared to the lack of movement before, the Zerg's current movements are hard not to be vigilant about."

"Lao Lu, I want to test the movements of these Zerg to see if they are bluffing or if they really have plans to attack."

Lu Zhenda did not expect Yingzhou to think this way and hurriedly said.

"Chief, this is only a guess; the risk is too great, and I think it is a bit radical."

Tapping the desk lightly, he suddenly said to Lu Zhenda.

"By the way, Lao Lu, did my cavalry bring back any news from the 46th Legion?"

Lu Zhenda shook his head and said.

"There is no news in that regard from the 46th Legion; they have not sent back communications until now."

Just as the two were conversing, the communications soldier who had just reported Yingzhou's itinerary to Lu Zhenda arrived at the door. Because Yingzhou had not closed the door just now, this communications soldier walked straight in, saluted Yingzhou, and said.

"Chief, an urgent communication from the 46th Legion!"

After hearing this news, Yingzhou's eyes lit up instantly; speak of the devil and he shall appear—it was just in time.

46th Legion Position No. 5.

After seeing an Attilan Barbarian Cavalryman riding a warhorse with his right arm missing dismount, Xu Ke immediately stepped forward and asked.

"What happened? Did those Zerg launch an attack?"

During this period, Attilan warriors had been arriving here on warhorses one after another, but this was the first time Xu Ke had seen an Attilan warrior who was alone and injured.

These men who called themselves Attilan were actually not as difficult to get along with as imagined; of course, if they could take a bath, that would be even better.

"Alien, a large number of Aliens are migrating in the opposite direction. Our small team happened to run into the main force of the Aliens, and a battle broke out. I was only able to escape under the cover of other comrades."

After seeing the Attilan Sergeant and some Attilan warriors who had rushed over behind Xu Ke, this Attilan warrior immediately spoke.

Xu Ke now also knew that the "Alien" mentioned by those Attilans was the Zerg. Realizing the severity of the problem, he immediately notified the communications soldier beside him.

"Quick! Send this information to the Military District, it must be fast! This is a key movement of the Zerg!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Xu Ke called for a medic, but it was a pity that this Attilan warrior's arm had already been lost, and there was no way to use Treatment Ability to reattach it; he could only help him stop the bleeding.

After dealing with the Attilan warrior's injuries, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and continued to question this Attilan warrior.

"Brother, did you see which direction those Zerg... Aliens went?"

This Attila warrior looked at Xu Ke with some wariness, but the Attila Sergeant behind Xu Ke spoke up at this moment.

"Rest assured, they are also soldiers of the Emperor; there will be no problems."

Upon hearing this, the Attila warrior finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak.

"Show me the map, and I will tell you the direction."
