StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 175 No one should suffer, not the Mother Insect

Shen Qingqing didn't know how to answer. She couldn't very well say that Klein had been put into the underground warehouse after landing.

However, since they had undergone blood fusion, the fact that she was still alive proves that Klein was also alright.

"Klein has gone on an interstellar expedition, saying he's going to conduct on-site research for the Zerg and also to the Wolf Clan to find a breakthrough that can defeat them in one blow, so he won't be back for the time being."

Shen Qingqing didn't know if she believed it or not, but she herself spoke with great emotion and passion.

The medic, having no reason to doubt the Queen of Insects, was deeply moved upon hearing the news. "I never imagined that the first thing the Commander-in-Chief did upon waking was to go alone to infiltrate the Wolf Clan... He is truly a role model for us all!"

She silently apologized to Klein in her heart; she didn't want to make up such a lie.

"By the way, why did you give Saenster an injection? Is he sick?"

"Pretty much. Ever since emerging from the cocoon, my pheromones have inexplicably gone out of control, and I've even started biting other insects... As you know, Saenster is the most powerful attacker among us, so many insects are wary of him, fearing that he might suddenly come and bite them."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the anesthesia room.

The medic seemed to rarely encounter other Zerg, and now that there was something to talk about, he couldn't stop talking.

"There's no other way but to use the newly developed tranquilizer on him first, and this situation is quite common among the Zerg."

"Quite a lot?"

“That’s right,” the medic estimated, giving a rough figure, “The number of Zerg with uncontrolled pheromones is probably around two thousand, and they are all your servants.”

Shen Qingqing: ...

"After testing, we found that the reason they lost control was due to a lack of pheromone comfort. High-level Zerg have higher mental strength than ordinary Zerg, but they are also the most susceptible to mental torture. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I wouldn't be sure whether I should tie him up again."

A few words from her made her eyelids twitch.

It looks like she has work to do now.

A faint fragrance of roses filled the air. The delicate, endearing scent wafted from one direction, causing most of the insects to stop what they were doing and stare blankly in the same direction.

Her fair, delicate hand gently touched his forehead, brushing away the dark hair at his temples, and then placed a kiss on his forehead against his fiercely handsome face.

She was now adept at releasing and withdrawing pheromones, so she began releasing pheromones on a large scale until the fragrant scent spread throughout the entire area through the underground passage.

All the Zerg raised their heads and offered their blessings to their king.

This naturally includes the three thousand attendant insects of the insect queen.

Without exception, they were all Zerg elites.

P.S.: Cecilia's Choice, you deserve it!

PSS: Brand new, unopened, you know what I mean.

As Saenster's breathing gradually calmed down, Shen Qingqing lowered her hand from his forehead and prepared to release her pheromones elsewhere so that the scent could travel further.

Seeing this, the military doctor came up to her and quietly told her about the upcoming itinerary.

He would glance at Saenster on stage every now and then, fearing that Saenster might suddenly attack and beat him up.

Last time, a Zerg player got beaten up for saying the word "Zerg Queen" to him, and he didn't want to be in trouble again.

"Your attendants are waiting in the palace below. Do you need me to lead the way?"

The army doctor's furtive manner resembled that of a wicked insect trying to abduct the queen.

"Okay, thank you for showing me the way."

"Oh, no need for thanks. This is what I should do as a qualified matchmaker."

"Matchmaker?" Shen Qingqing asked, somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you a military doctor? Do you have another job?"

"Uh..." Realizing he had let something slip, the military doctor's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with an excuse for himself.

"These are all hobbies. Actually, I've been racking my brains lately on the issue of Zerg reproduction. I've been contributing to matchmaking between male and female Zerg, shining in every role I've played."

The military doctor himself didn't quite believe his own words, so he immediately changed the subject, "However, those insect servants have never seen you before, and they all have very different personalities. Should I tell them to freshen up beforehand?"

Shen Qingqing now truly felt that the military doctor had become a powerful eunuch relaying messages for the emperor, and that she was the tyrannical emperor preparing to favor his concubines.

"No, no need. I'm just going to release some pheromones," Shen Qingqing quickly declined his offer. "Speaking of which, are they handling internal Zerg affairs like Ge Yuan, or are they involved in underground city infrastructure construction?"

"nothing."

At this point, the military doctor's expression visibly crumbled.

"They're all busy lamenting their bad timing, not having seen the Queen Insect, or busy grooming themselves... Ha, as for working? Absolutely not."

After turning a corner, they arrived at the central part of the underground city, which was the insect queen's palace as depicted on the blueprints.

"Your Majesty, this is the palace we've built with a lot of time and money. Are you satisfied? If not, we can make further changes."

Shen Qingqing was marveling at how the Zerg could construct such a massive and magnificent building in such a short time with a population of less than 10,000 Zerg, but when she heard the military doctor mention the time and money involved, she sensed something was amiss.

"You mean you built this palace?"

"Yes." The military doctor's face was full of pride.

"And it cost a lot of time and money?"

"Absolutely!" The military doctor raised his head, his confidence and pride growing stronger.

They even boasted about the Zerg's efficiency, saying, "This was a decision made by all the Zerg together. Back then, we chose to build this palace even when we were penniless, precisely to await your arrival. Now..."

"how much did you spend?"

"Huh?" The military doctor was puzzled.

"Why does the Queen Insect ask this?"

Could it be that they're short of money?

Shen Qingqing felt heartbroken as she listened to the astronomical figures he quoted.

Instead of building their home base, repairing communications, and restoring transportation and other infrastructure, the Zerg chose to spend a fortune building this palace first.

What a waste of human, material, and financial resources!

Seeing that she didn't look well, the army doctor assumed she was dissatisfied with the palace's style and quickly explained, "If you don't like this style, the palace is only half-built now, and I can give the engineers my opinions to revise the plan."

"Stop talking," Shen Qingqing said, extending a hand to refuse, then raising her face with a look of exasperation. "Don't you know that money should be spent wisely? Why build a palace at a time like this? Infrastructure and public services are the most important things to do!"

She felt like she was going crazy.

The Zerg are masters at spending their money wisely.

The military doctor just stared wide-eyed, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Isn't this spending money wisely? We're building a palace for the Queen; the Queen's affairs take precedence over any other priority!"

Moreover, they don't feel that spending money on the insect queen is a waste.

No one should suffer, but the mother insect should suffer.
