StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 55 The Birth of a Traitor

But how exactly will she get out of this predicament?

This is the biggest challenge she faces right now.

Because Ge Yuan used the excuse of eating delicious food to pull her out of bed.

Forced to listen to classical music she couldn't understand, Shen Qingqing found that the edgy pop songs she used to hear on Earth suddenly sounded strangely pleasant.

After all, that was a product of a hard-controlled era.

And the beautiful and magnificent piano music...

I'm sorry, she doesn't understand.

And that zither over there, played by the female, an instrument taller than a person when upright, she couldn't appreciate it either.

Ge Yuan, whose mind is only filled with brand-name liquor, is even less reliable.

He barely managed to escape during a break from his drunken rampage, and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath.

Then the same females I'd seen that day blocked my way again.

Where are we going?

Leah simply stopped pretending.

Celit won't be back for the time being, which means she can do whatever she wants during this period.

"none of your business."

"Oh, you've got a sharp tongue, huh? Now that old woman isn't here, let's see how arrogant you can be."

Lia waved her hand, and the little girl beside her and several other followers surrounded Shen Qingqing, trapping her firmly in a corner.

"What are you doing?"

The opposing side has a large and powerful force; if things continue like this, they'll attract attention sooner or later.

Shen Qingqing clearly sensed that someone had noticed the commotion.

We need to get out of here as soon as possible.

So she did something that no insect had expected.

That is--

Let's make a big fuss about this!

In the blink of an eye, she snatched the wine glass from Leah's hand and smashed the glass and the bottle away.

The splashing red liquid and shards of glass flew everywhere, causing a commotion.

"Now, the show begins."

Leah was still in a daze when she felt a chill on her chest.

The white corset was torn open and thrown into the crowd, causing an even more intense commotion.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Instinctively clutching her chest, Lia didn't have time to reprimand Shen Qingqing. She quickly called for people around her to surround her to prevent her from being exposed.

She silently cursed herself for being unfair, but Shen Qingqing couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

While everyone was looking for the exit, they crawled into the pre-scouted hole.

In a flash, it slid down the narrow, curved ventilation opening.

From the moment he memorized the floor plan on that piece of paper, he was already planning the best escape route.

But the man didn't just come to harass her.

He also told her about all the wiring of the entire spaceship, including the emergency exits and what kind of experimental items were in each room.

Fortunately, she had a good memory and managed to memorize the route map in those ten-odd minutes.

Their every move is under surveillance, and only through this method can messages be transmitted secretly to the greatest extent possible.

Goodbye, Ge Yuan.

I almost broke my back after going around a few corners, but thankfully the information he gave me in the end was correct.

This vent eventually leads to the storage room side.

Once you enter the storage room and find the spaceship, everything will be over.

The thought of being able to leave this place soon filled Shen Qingqing with joy and excitement.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

The moment Shen Qingqing stepped out of the vent and saw who it was, she froze.

"How could it be you..."

"So you really were thinking of running away."

Behind Selit were a large number of armed personnel.

“At first I didn’t believe it, but she told me that you intended to run away.”

The paper she had received that day was held between her fingers.

She tore it up and threw it away, how could this be...?

Shen Qingqing couldn't believe what she was seeing until that familiar figure appeared from behind her.

"I'm so sorry, Qingqing."

Wearing protective clothing, Ge Yuan said lazily, "I didn't want to do this either, but you know I belong to the research institute, I can't betray the research institute, can I?"

Clenching her fists tightly, Shen Qingqing lowered her head unwillingly.

After a long silence, a voice trembling with sobs finally escaped, "So, so you were so good to me just for the experiment..."

"I thought, I thought you really... really were just nice to me..."

I shouldn't have trusted you.

"Never!"

Celit stood to the side, offering no words of comfort, but instead curling his lips in a mocking smile.

"Ge Yuan, why don't you go and try to coax her?"

"Forget it," Ge Yuan waved her hand dismissively. "We'd be better off doing more experiments, don't you think?"

"Heh, you're as cold as ever."

He stepped forward, embraced her as she wept uncontrollably, and whispered the cruel, cold truth to her.

"You'll never escape from here!"

"forever!"

Shen Qingqing felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the whole world had been distorted.

Why, why does everyone have to lie to her?!

She just wanted freedom.

That's it.

She returned her to Ge Yuan, and Serit rarely praised her, saying, "Well done. I'll submit the application to the research institute later, and I'm sure you'll be approved soon and promoted..."

"That's truly something to celebrate, Ge Yuan."

"You flatter me, Earl." Ge Yuan stepped forward and took Shen Qingqing, who was crying so hard she was about to faint.

"It's just about a promotion and a raise..."

"It's just a minor problem."

The count was naturally very generous.

With a large sum of money coming into the quantum computer, Ge Yuan was naturally overjoyed and praised the Earl's generosity once again.

"In that case, I'll take her with me."

"Hmm...hmm? Let's go?"

Finally, the count, who was engrossed in capturing the escapee, sensed something was wrong.

"Shouldn't we hand her over to the lab personnel for detention? Where are you taking her?"

"Of course it's—flying into space, hahaha!!"

Ge Yuan looked up and snapped her fingers.

The hatch slowly opened, revealing a new type of military spacecraft.

Goodbye, and goodbye to your money.

The military spaceship started up, and the shockwave it emitted knocked everyone to the ground.

Meanwhile, Ge Yuan hoisted Shen Qingqing onto her back with one hand, and with the other hand, she picked up her old Gatling gun and fired a burst of bullets at the hatch.

No one expected that Ge Yuan would change her mind at the last minute.

This happened after he had already swindled the count out of his money.

But Ge Yuan didn't care about any of that. No matter how many small spaceships surrounded her, she remained relaxed and unconcerned.

"It feels so familiar, it's just like a battlefield!!"

Shen Qingqing thought she might be crazy.

Otherwise, why would he remain so frantic when facing dozens of armed spaceships?

He even deliberately dropped the Gatling gun in his hand!

"Ge Yuan, Ge Yuan, let me go! They'll kill you!"

"Relax, Miss~"

She was already used to this kind of scene.

"Don't forget what I used to do."

Before she could put a protective suit on her, Ge Yuan tossed her high into the air and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Shen Qingqing, quickly picked up the Gatling gun in mid-air.

He opened fire on Celit in the crowd.

Clear target, superb marksmanship!

No drag at all!

Long hair danced in the frigid air as Ge Yuan caught Shen Qingqing as she fell with one hand.

Amidst the dense, indiscriminate gunfire, as dense as a forest, Celit clearly heard what she said.

she says:

"Thank you, Earl Selit, for the money!"

"Ge Yuan, I am extremely grateful!"
