Chapter 121 Hold My Hand Tight
Chapter 121 Hold My Hand Tight
"The Queen Mother is neither in her room nor in the reception room; she is nowhere to be found on the entire starship."
Andorra retrieved the surveillance footage and calmly recounted the events.
“There’s no scent of her pheromones in the air,” Klein said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. “I can’t smell anything…not even a faint trace.”
"That's a real pity. Doesn't your body contain the blood of the Queen Insect? How come you can't smell it?" Andor's lips curled up when he heard Klein say that.
Klein spoke up, "The Queen Mother's pheromones permeate the entire starship, they're everywhere, I just can't identify them."
Are they going to wait here for Shen Qingqing to come back and find them?
The hatch sensed someone and opened automatically, revealing a familiar figure.
"So a blood exchange had already been performed? I didn't even know. Andorra, was that your suggestion?"
Michelle walked in by herself. "Alex has already sent people here, but news of the Queen's disappearance hasn't spread yet. Hopefully, they can find her before his fleet boards the starship."
"You also eavesdrop."
Michel was unfazed by Andorra's accusations, saying, "Please use the word 'listen,' eavesdropping sounds awful."
"But..."
Michelle changed the subject, "When that virus appeared, the Queen Insect told me the most crucial thing, wouldn't you like to hear it?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Andor didn't think this was a good time to joke. "The situation is so urgent right now. We haven't even figured out what kind of virus it is or what its origin is. We don't have the mood to play guessing games with you."
"Don't be so tense, it's no fun at all~"
Michelle picked up a reagent from behind Andorra, looked at them through the pale blue liquid, and slowly said, "She gave me a package before, suggesting that I join the volunteer team."
"That makes sense now. It seems that the Insect Queen has joined the activity team, and judging by the time, she has probably already arrived at the location. I just don't know which area she will choose to go to."
Andorra ordered the temporary command of the starship to conduct a thorough investigation, but the captain looked embarrassed.
"My apologies for my incompetence, sir. Due to the suddenness of the incident, we had no time to prepare, so the volunteer team was organized on the spot. As for which area each squad is responsible for, I only have a general idea..."
The captain wished he could catch the culprit who released the virus and execute him on the spot. Now that the Queen has disappeared, how could he not be anxious!
After thinking for a moment, and feeling that taking turns to check was too slow, Andor was about to speak when Michel interrupted, "How about this, you guys go to areas AB, and Nordlin and I will go to areas CD? Wouldn't that be faster?"
"Furthermore, Nordlin and I are more familiar with the structure of these starships, and our combat capabilities are also quite good. I feel more at ease leaving the higher-ups to you."
Michelle's words were perfectly reasonable and flawless.
With things having come to this, they had no other choice but to carry their belongings and each insect was responsible for searching a specific area.
Michelle smiled as she looked at the real-time location data from the quantum computer she had obtained from Alex. "Let's go, Colonel Nordlin, to the fourth basement level."
But actually, while riding the elevator, he tricked Nordlin into letting him go to the fourth basement level by himself, saying, "I'm not as strong as you, so I'll leave the rest to you. I'll search the third basement level."
After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder to express his appreciation.
The moment the elevator doors opened, a blinding light illuminated the dim floor of the third basement level.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Michelle covered her nose, waved, and frowned in utter disgust.
The air here is as nauseating as ever.
But when he came down, he brought nothing but a lightsaber.
The small red dot on the wrist-mounted computer kept moving, and Michelle walked slowly in that direction.
……
"What are all these things?! Why are there more and more of them?!"
Shen Qingqing ran quickly, not looking back, only focusing on running forward.
Just moments before, as the giant centipede was about to touch her, Shen Qingqing, as if unleashing her inner potential, raised her laser sword without hesitation and cleaved the giant centipede in two!
Then, while it was curled up on the ground writhing frantically, it stepped on the pile of boxes and leaped up.
Where the green blood splattered from the centipede-like monster corroded the steel floor, causing it to hiss and emit white smoke.
While soaking in the water, Shen Qingqing tried to send messages to others using a communicator.
Unfortunately, when the box on his back was torn off, the communication cable on his arm was also pulled out, leaving only the empty panel on his arm.
Her arms were exposed, and the protective suit on her back was torn to shreds from the violent struggle, but she had no time to fix it, nor any time to think about anything else.
Right now, I only have one thought in my mind: find a way to tell the others not to come over!
When Michelle arrived at the dead end, all that remained on the ground was a green, bloody smell.
He bent down, touched it with his white gloves, and smelled it.
She had just fought it.
There was no blood of hers on the ground.
Some warm, viscous blood lingered on their fingertips before being carelessly discarded along with their gloves.
The blood was still warm, which meant that his insect queen had just fought with that primordial insect.
A tiny, incredibly frail female was able to fight against such a monster...
How interesting!
Michelle's pupils dilated uncontrollably with excitement, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
Was the bloodstain on the ground caused by the insect mother?
His insect queen is amazing!
I absolutely adore her...
Michelle's eyes narrowed slightly, her whole body enveloped in a blissful reverie, oblivious to the centipede that had appeared behind her.
The centipede's menacing mouthparts and rings of teeth writhed as it slowly rose up, attempting to ambush Michelle from behind and swallow him whole.
"Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
The monster's saliva dripped beside him, drawing a murmur of displeasure.
"Did you brush your teeth? Your breath is so strong."
Michelle covered his nose in disgust, and was about to stretch his muscles when he heard someone calling him.
"Hey, run!"
With that, a flashbang was thrown over, spinning around on the ground until it rolled between the monster and Michelle.
"Close your eyes!!"
Upon seeing the symbol on the small sphere, Michelle instantly understood what it was.
How could she have a military-grade flashbang?!
Before anyone could react, the flashbang began to burst into intense light.
A light brighter than daylight illuminated the entire area, accompanied by intense heat waves.
Just as her body was about to be enveloped in bright light, Michelle heard a female voice in her ear.
Hold my hand tightly!
