StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 11 Keep your voice down, she'll be scared.

He seemed unaware of the insect queen's existence. Saenster's eyes darkened, revealing a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"You'd better think carefully about your own strength before you make a move."

"Of course I know the difference in strength between us, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in person."

Colette smiled, revealing the silver watch on her wrist, water droplets falling from the ends of her dark purple hair, followed by a light, cheerful voice.

"This is something specially made just for you."

As he spoke, he twisted the watch cover, only to hear a hollow ringing in his ears. Then Saenster realized that he seemed to have lost his power.

Colette, who had witnessed all of this, smiled smugly.

"I didn't expect the first-generation isolator to be so effective. I overestimated you."

The sonic pulse attack blocked the Zerg's ability to jump between spaces, and the lack of space jumps was detrimental to the Zerg Queen's safety.

[Sarnster, are you alright?]

From her angle, one could clearly see Tharnst's taut jaw and the bulging veins in his neck.

Cold sweat dripped down his pale neck and into his black armor. After a long while, he finally managed to look down at her with difficulty: "I'm alright, but I've disappointed you."

He forced an apologetic smile, then wrapped the little one tightly in his cloak, pressing her close to his chest, feeling each other's heartbeats.

Colette was somewhat surprised that Saenster would be so intimate with a female, but considering that the Zerg had not had a queen born for many years, she understood and waved for them to handle it.

"Remember, Father Wang said to capture them alive."

They barely dodged the wolves that pounced on them by tiptoeing, but more and more wolves joined the hunt, gradually driving them into a corner.

They were only a short distance from the signal tower; if they could contact the commander-in-chief, there was still hope for a turnaround.

As if he had made up his mind, Saenster told Shen Qingqing about the precautions for signal transmission through the mental link, and began a contest of speed and passion amidst her puzzled and confused gaze.

The biting wind stung my face like a knife, and the wolf pack was hot on my heels. The young leader, Colette, was nowhere to be seen.

There was no time to worry about anything else; they had to shake them off as soon as possible in order to continue contacting the major general and the commander.

To avoid being seen, Saenster deliberately ran in the opposite direction. The haphazardly scattered branches and broken wood obscured their view, and the rain diluted the smell, allowing them to remain hidden.

"Qingqing," Saenster called softly, his heart trembling almost imperceptibly when he met Shen Qingqing's eyes, but he still decided to make this choice.

“We may have to part ways, but don’t worry, I’ve already contacted the Zerg forces, and you will be rescued once they arrive.”

What do you mean? What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting she face this alone?

Shen Qingqing gripped his clothes tightly, her eyes filled with urgency.

Tell me quickly what this is about? Speak up, speak up...

Sarnster ignored the chaotic voices in his mind and chose to block them out unilaterally.

So after a while, Shen Qingqing sadly discovered that only her own voice remained in her mental link.

He severed his mental connection with himself.

"you!"

Enraged, Shen Qingqing grabbed his collar, revealing his muscular physique through his white shirt and... the scar on his neck that nearly cost him his life.

Unable to utter a sound, Shen Qingqing buried her head in her arms and cried in distress.

What? Does it have to be like this just because of a time travel? Does it have to involve life and death?

She doesn't want to, she doesn't want to do that.

"Qingqing." Saenster called her name a second time, but clearly someone who was sad and heartbroken was no longer willing to pay attention to him.

He had to give up the idea of ​​ruffling her hair.

He sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on the top of her head.

After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Remember to behave yourself inside. Don't open the door for anyone. There's food and water in the room, enough to last for two months..."

"I'll come get you."

In the face of chaos and smoke, all vows seem so pale.

……

"He went that way, hurry and chase after him!"

"But it seems that the female is not in his arms."

"Why bother with so much? Maybe it's been discarded."

"That's true, it's just a female. We wolves have plenty of them, so it's not bad to treat it as a bit of fun."

"But Lady Colette said..."

"The lord is referring to capturing Sarnster alive. As for the female, she's irrelevant. The important thing is to hurry up and chase after her."

……

In the dark and damp cave, Shen Qingqing lay unconscious on the ground.

The distance of less than three meters from the ground was enough for their voices to penetrate the soil and reach her ears.

"Qingqing, wait for me."

"I will definitely come back to find you, and then we..."

What will happen to us? What are you talking about?

Why can't I hear clearly?

When she woke up again, she found herself in a pitch-black passage. Shen Qingqing tried to call for help, but suddenly covered her mouth.

She heard it; she heard the voices above her.

So he held his breath and listened carefully to their conversation.

"It's been found...but unfortunately, there's only this much."

"Damn it, he got away."

"But it doesn't matter, don't we already have samples?"

"..."

There were others that were too difficult to hear, and their voices were very low; all I could make out were words like "genes" and "extraction."

Shen Qingqing remained prone for an unknown amount of time, so long that her arms went numb, so long that she felt like half a century had passed, before she dared to slowly get up.

Here is... some fragments suddenly flashed through my mind.

By the way, Saenster, he said this is an abandoned tunnel of the Zerg. If you keep going from here, you can reach the underground warehouse, where there is food and water.

At the crucial moment, her thoughts finally returned, and she groped her way deeper and deeper.

Colette, who had suddenly fallen silent on the ground, revealed a meaningful smile, startling her adjutant into silence.

Just over ten minutes ago, while they were still talking, his superior suddenly raised his hand to signal for silence. Although he didn't understand, he did as he was told.

More than ten minutes passed in a flash. Only when he saw his superior's smile did he tentatively ask, "Sir, what's wrong...?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Colette flicked a small insect off a leaf with her gloved fingers.

“If it’s too loud, she’ll be scared.”

"Pass down my order: have the Sixth Squad return to their unit. No wolf clan members are to be allowed into the Fourth Star System."

"I will personally oversee this place."

"Yes, sir."
