I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

The cockroaches that rushed into range sprayed strong acid at the distant raiders. In the eyes of the Queen Bug, the raiders posed a great threat to the cockroaches, so the Queen Bug planned to eliminate the raiders first. Unfortunately, the Queen Bug chose the wrong target. If the cockroaches had targeted the Marines, the effect might have been better, because the Marines did not have the acid-resistant interlayer. This was because the interlayer was not cheap, and also because the power armor on the Marines was not very suitable for equipping them with these new interlayers.

As the cockroaches and hydralisks emerged, Theresa's Marauders and Marines also targeted them. The Marauders fired several Punisher grenades from their K12 Punisher grenade launchers, which hit the cockroaches and instantly blasted off their hard shells. The shockwave from the explosions also blew the cockroaches back several meters, but this did not cause them much harm. As long as their brains, acid glands, and mobility were not destroyed, the cockroaches could still fight.

The Hydralisk is not much better off. The 8cm solid steel needles fired by the Marines' C-14 electromagnetic rifles can penetrate the Hydralisk's carapace, and dozens of these needles can penetrate it in succession. The Hydralisk does not have a thick carapace like a cockroach, making it relatively less resistant to Marine attacks.

Moreover, Theresa's forces were not limited to these. Behind the troops, two 60-ton siege tanks began to transform. Two hydraulic grappling hooks extended from the sides of the siege tanks and pressed them to the ground. After the tracks of the siege tanks were locked, they separated like tripods and supported the siege tanks. The gun barrels on the turrets also deformed and extended, revealing the gun barrels that could fire 180cm high-explosive shells.

With a deafening roar, a massive explosion ripped through the swarm, sending many Zerglings flying into the air. The bombardment from the siege tanks repeatedly disrupted the swarm's formation, but the swarm continued to rush in from the hatchery, quickly filling the gaps created by the artillery fire.

Theresa frowned as she looked at the several enormous hatcheries towering in the distance and spoke to the Reaper squad via communicator:

"Reapers, what's the situation on your end?"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, the Reaper squad also reported their situation.

“Boss, we can move out now, but there’s another problem. Because of the overlords patrolling in the air, we’re likely to be spotted as soon as we appear. We might not be able to withstand the swarms of insects that come back to support us. Plus, a few spiny crawlers and spore crawlers have suddenly appeared here, making our mission to destroy the hatchery even more difficult.”

Because of the additional spiny crawlers and spore crawlers, the Reaper squad might not have enough D-8 explosives. It's practically impossible for them to ignore the spiny crawlers and spore crawlers. The extended spikes of those spiny crawlers are quite fast, and even the Reapers have a hard time dodging them. Moreover, if they want to destroy the hatchery, they need to jump onto the breathing organs on top of the hatchery and throw several explosives there to possibly blow it up.

However, if you fly up there, the spore reptiles are not to be trifled with; if you are hit by their strong acid, no amount of life will be enough.

Upon hearing the Reaper Squad's report, Theresa also looked troubled. Clearly, the unexpected events reported by the Reaper Squad were something Theresa hadn't anticipated. Moreover, dragging things out like this wasn't a solution, because Theresa's unit didn't have unlimited ammunition like in a game. If they fought for another ten minutes, Theresa's side would be completely out of ammunition.

Thinking about these things, Theresa wished she could fly over there and use Judah to smash those queen insects and hatcheries.

"fly?"

Just as Theresa was thinking this, she suddenly thought of the word "fly," so she turned to look at Yuhaka, who was eating potato chips. Noticing Theresa's gaze, Yuhaka turned to look at Theresa.

"Meow O~O?"

Chapter 1029 [Cleansing the Insect Nest (Part 2)]

"That's right! Youyou can fly!"

Theresa, who had just come to her senses, realized that Yuhaka could still fly. If Yuhaka were to deal with the Ohmu in the air and those spine-crawler and spore-crawler, it wouldn't be a problem, right?

After thinking about these things, Theresa asked Yuhaka if he could deal with the Queen Beetles and the Needle-like Crawlers, and casually showed Yuhaka some information about the Queen Beetles, Needle-like Crawlers, and Spore Crawlers.

After seeing the information, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked up at the flying "giant balloons" in the distance. According to Theresa, those giant balloons served as signal stations for the swarm's psionic links. In the absence of the Queen and the Queen of Blades, these overlords were also temporary commanders of the swarm.

If these Overlords are destroyed, the subsequent Zerg swarm operations will be disrupted. If we were to describe a Zerg swarm that has lost its Overlords, it would be like a Zerg player who can control the Zerg has become a Zerg player who can only use F2A.

Thinking about it this way, it becomes roughly clear.

After reviewing the information, Yuhaka also said there was no problem. Although the King Worm was larger than the Savage Beast, its attack power was almost non-existent compared to the Savage Beast.

Spiny crawlers and spore crawlers are basically nothing to Yuhaka, since this isn't a game, and the hit rate of those spiky crawlers and spore crawlers can't possibly be 100%.

After Yohaka finished reading the information, Theresa told Yohaka what she needed to do. Now Yohaka only had a few things to do: one was to eliminate the Sky King Worm, and the other was to destroy the Spiral Crawler and Spore Crawler, creating a path for the Harvesters to destroy the Hatchery.

"Youyou, do you understand?"

Hearing Theresa's words, Yhwach nodded with an "OwO~" expression to indicate that he understood. Seeing that Yhwach understood, Theresa breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, Theresa looked at Yhwach with a serious expression and said:

"Very good. Then you must be careful of those alien insects. Don't be reckless. If you have any problems, use this to contact me."

As she spoke, Theresa took out what looked like a hanging earphone from her waist bag and tried to put it on Yuhaka. Then, when Theresa saw Yuhaka's four-channel ears, she looked completely bewildered, as if she didn't know which ear to put the earphone on.

"OwO?"

Seeing Theresa holding a pair of over-ear headphones and looking conflicted, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Theresa, as if he didn't understand why Theresa was stunned. Then, realizing something, Theresa quickly handed the headphones to Yuhaka and said:

"Okay, put on your headphones now, so we can contact you."

Yuhaka was a little puzzled by Theresa's slightly guilty expression, a bead of cold sweat trickling down her cheek. Yuhaka didn't quite understand why Theresa suddenly seemed guilty, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He took the earphone from Theresa's hand and put it on his right ear. Theresa was a little surprised when she saw this. It turned out that Yuhaka really did have four-channel hearing!

After Yhaka was ready, it extended its wings and soared into the sky with a bang. Theresa, who was standing nearby, was thrown off balance by the force of Yhaka's thrust and landed hard on her backside. Theresa, furious, yelled at Yhaka:

"You idiot! Next time you take off, make sure there's nobody around!"

Unfortunately, Eyjafjalla didn't hear Theresa's words. Soaring into the sky, Eyjafjalla immediately flew towards the Overlords. The ground-based spore crawlers and hydralisks also spotted Eyjafjalla and launched a barrage of spherical acid and spines at her. However, the acid and spines couldn't hit Eyjafjalla. She was surrounded by a wind barrier, like a shield, which deflected the weak attacks. While larger attacks were harder to deflect, Eyjafjalla had other ways to deal with them.

Seeing the Overlords not far away, Yhaka drew his Demonbane Sword and slashed a sword aura at one of them. A white sword aura struck the Overlord, instantly slicing it in half. The other Overlords, seeing their companion cut in two, became alert. Clearly, Yhaka posed a significant threat to them. This prompted the Overlords to redeploy their spore reptiles and dispatch a large number of Hydralisks to attack Yhaka.

However, these attacks posed virtually no threat to Yhaka. Yhaka swooped down from the sky, drew her twin swords, and charged towards the Zerg swarm on the ground. In an instant, a row of spore crawlers was sliced ​​off by Yhaka, and some hydralisks were also cut in half. Moreover, the air currents generated by Yhaka instantly disrupted the Zerg swarm's formation.

Ehaka, having taken to the skies again, flew directly towards the Overlords. The Overlords panicked upon seeing Ehaka approaching, but unfortunately, as an aerial unit of the Zerg swarm, their flight speed was not very fast. Combined with Ehaka's high-speed flight, escaping was almost impossible.

Then, the Queen Bugs, like punctured balloons, floated in the air for a while before falling to the ground. After dealing with the Queen Bugs, the swarm seemed to lose its leader, with many swarms rushing towards Theresa and her group. Seeing that Yhaka had dealt with the Queen Bugs, Theresa saw the swarms scattered like sheep without a leader, though most of them were heading towards Yhaka.

"Alright, Youyou, wipe out those spine-spined crawlers! After that, go help the Reaper team destroy the hatchery!"

"Youyou understands OwO~"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka acknowledged them and charged towards the spine-spike reptiles. Sensing Yuhaka, the reptiles swung their long tentacles at the low-flying Yuhaka, but Yuhaka's reaction and speed were much faster than the spine-spike reptiles' attacks. He easily dodged their attacks and severed one of their tentacles with a single strike.

Although the tentacles of the spiny reptiles were cut off, their tendrils could still grow back. However, Yuhaka did not intend to let those spiny reptiles go. With several sword beams, the spiny reptiles were cut into pieces and lost their vitality.

Chapter 1030 [Mining Operation Ends]

On the high ground behind the southern Zerg hive, the Reaper captain saw Yhaka eliminate the Spire Crawlers and ordered the Reaper squads to move. As the Reaper squads jumped down from the high ground, the Zerg forces below only then noticed them. Before the Zerg forces could react, the Reaper squads opened fire on the ground while shouting "Death from above!" The Zerg units hit by the P-45 "Reaper's Scythe" electromagnetic pistols were basically riddled with holes.

Zerg creatures with thick armor, like cockroaches, are destroyed by the Reaper's cluster grenades, which break through their hard shells. The Reaper then attacks their soft internal organs with weapons, killing the target.

After dealing with the troublesome Zerg, the Reaper squad charged towards the hatchery. Seeing the mountain-like hatchery before them, the Reapers flew to the top, where there was a mouth-like organ. They threw in the explosives hanging from their waists and jumped down. As the Reapers left, the timed bombs were detonated. The force of several bombs exploding throughout the hatchery was released. Because the hatchery was like a water-filled balloon, and the bombs were like firecrackers inside, the hatchery exploded like a bursting water balloon.

The exploded hatchery debris scattered everywhere like a cake that had been blown apart, with blood and chunks of flesh flying in all directions like a shower of petals.

Seeing the hatchery destroyed by the Reapers, Theresa looked delighted and said:

"Very good! Next up are the remaining alien insects. Everyone, give it your all and wipe them out!"

"oh--!"

Hearing Theresa's words, the morale of the group soared, and they launched an attack on the Zerg. Without the hatchery, the Zerg could no longer provide manpower. Without the manpower production line, the Zerg naturally could not engage in a war of attrition with Theresa and her team. In no time, Theresa and her team quickly destroyed the Zerg base in the south.

After finishing with the base of the southern swarm, Theresa also began to have her troops search the area to see if there were any surviving larvae or worker bees. If there were, another hatchery would soon appear, and the area would probably have to be cleared out again.

After Theresa's troops conducted a thorough search, they found no hidden worker bees or larvae. Instead, they discovered some crystal mines at the original hatchery location. It seems that the Zerg relied on these crystal mines to hatch a large swarm of Zerg troops, as these crystal mines provide nutrients that allow the Zerg to mutate and hatch quickly.

However, now those crystal mines have benefited Theresa, who is naturally very happy to have obtained them. Theresa did not expect that there would be crystal mines in the Zerg hatchery. If it weren't for the fact that the other Zerg nests were too powerful, Theresa would have even considered getting rich by robbing the Zerg.

............................................................

After eradicating the southern Zerg hive, Theresa returned to the base with Yhaka, who was eyeing the Zerg bodies. With the southern Zerg hive dealt with, a large area to the southwest and northwest became their mining site, with enough ore veins for them to mine. As for the other Zerg hive, Stargazer examined the surrounding terrain and found a suitable blasting point. If blasted there, the rocks would collapse, leaving a river of lava, effectively blocking the enemy's path.

This made Theresa's mining operation very simple. She didn't have to worry about the Zerg swarm coming to bother her, and the Zerg swarm didn't seem to care. They didn't even bother to send over Overlords to transport the Zerg forces, let alone send out Xenomorphs.

After several hours of mining, Theresa and her team had collected all the crystal ore Tosh needed. Tosh was very happy to receive the minerals from Raynor and his team. To be honest, Tosh hadn't expected Raynor and his team to complete their mission in such a short time. The people he had sent before hadn't even lasted a few hours before being scattered by the swarm.

Tosh told Renault that if he needed help again in the future, he would ask Renault for assistance and pay him a large sum of money.

Although Renault was interested in the commission, Tosh's background surprised him. Tosh was a defector Ghost agent who used to be the Empire's top assassin. The good news was that Tosh hated Mengsk very much and was a potential ally in a sense. However, Renault still had to be careful, or he might be betrayed without even knowing it.

After Tosh left, Renault and his group were finally able to rest for a while.

...in Stetmann's laboratory...

Yuhaka was eating potato chips while holding up his little paw. On Yuhaka's raised paw was an energy ball formed by Kamui. Stetman, standing next to him, was using an instrument to measure the Kamui in Yuhaka's hand.

"Oh, this is amazing..."

Theresa, who was standing nearby, looked at Stetmann with a puzzled expression and asked:

"What's wrong, Dr. Stetman? Is there anything special about the energy called Kamui that Youyou uses?"

Upon hearing Theresa's question, Stetman snapped out of his reverie and looked at Theresa, saying:

"Ah? Oh, it's like this, the ability that Youyou is using now is very special. Youyou can transform this energy into things like fire, ice, water, rocks, lightning, and some other things that I haven't figured out yet. It's really amazing!"

After hearing Stetman's explanation, Theresa looked at the energy ball in Yuhaka's hand with a surprised expression and said:

"In that case, wouldn't it be somewhat similar to Honkai energy?"

Stetman shook his head in disagreement with Theresa's statement, saying:

"No, no, no, compared to Honkai energy, the energy that Youyou uses is much safer. At least it won't turn people into zombies like in the movies."

Stetman's answer made Theresa's lips twitch a few times. Theresa never imagined that Honkai energy would be disliked one day...

Chapter 1031 [Youyou: This meat is poisonous O~O]

Regardless, the Kamui energy in Yhwach's hands does indeed possess a wide range of abilities. The only pity is that only Yhwach can use this ability; others cannot. Of course, Yhwach can also condense Kamui into egg-sized crystals, but unfortunately, those crystals cannot change their attributes and can only use a single elemental attribute.

Just as Stetman was about to study Yuhaka's weapon, Yuhaka showed an "O皿O" expression, clearly very angry. After all, the spiky scales on Yuhaka's tail were standing up. Seeing Yuhaka's expression, Stetman knew that Yuhaka was unwilling, and he gave up his idea of ​​studying Yuhaka's weapon.

Theresa was a little surprised that Ehaka wouldn't let Stetman study her weapons, but she didn't think too much about it, just taking it as a child's possessiveness of his own things.

However, the savage beast corpse that Yuhaka obtained had lost its vitality, for reasons unknown, which greatly reduced the savage beast's research value.

...............................................................................

On the Hyperion, during everyone's rest time...

In the Hyperion's kitchen, Yhaka was preparing a meal using ingredients obtained from the Zerg. The meat of the beast tasted strange, like eating a live creature, similar to eating a Gastrea. It didn't taste very good, and the texture wasn't pleasant either.

The meat of the springtail didn't taste very good either; it always had a strange taste, though it was hard to pinpoint exactly what it was, but Yuhaka just didn't like it. The next dish, hydra meat, was alright, and the meat from the tail part was quite good.

The only downside is that all of the above-mentioned insect meats are harmful to humans and cannot be eaten by humans. If humans were to eat them, they would probably die.

After eating the Zerg meat, Yuhaka was also asked to clean up his cooking utensils and disinfect the kitchen. After all, if these harmful substances remained in the kitchen, they might turn all the members of the Hyperion into infected.

After Yuhaka cleaned the kitchen to ensure there were no harmful substances left, he crawled into the Hyperion ventilation duct and left the kitchen through it. After all, the kitchen door was locked during break time, so Yuhaka had no choice but to leave through the ventilation duct.

In the corridor outside, Raynor held his small bottle of liquor, sipping as he pondered what the Rangers should do next. Although they claimed to be resisting the Empire's rule, the Rangers currently lacked the ability to confront the Empire head-on. If it weren't for the Zerg invasion of the Terran Empire's outer planets, which forced Mengsk to mobilize his troops and retreat to his vicinity, Mengsk might have sent a fleet to cause him trouble.

However, the Zerg swarm is also a very troublesome creature. Now that so much time has passed, the Zerg swarm has come up with many new tricks, just like the Savage Beasts now, which are a terrifying presence on the battlefield.

Just as Renault was thinking this, the ventilation duct above his head opened with a click. Startled by the sound, Renault immediately gripped his Shattered Star revolver and pointed the muzzle at the ventilation duct window in the ceiling. Then, Renault saw Yuhaka staring at the pistol in his hand with an "O-O?" expression, as if he didn't know why someone had pointed a gun at his head as soon as he came out.

"Youyou?! What are you doing in the ventilation duct???"

Seeing Yhaka in the ventilation duct, Reno looked surprised and put his gun back in its holster. Yhaka, however, poked half his head out and looked at Reno, saying:

"Youyou is on her way back to her room OwO~"

Upon hearing Yhaka's answer, Renault looked completely bewildered. Go back to the room? Who goes back to their room to use the ventilation ducts???

Regardless, Renault still let Yhaka out of the ventilation duct. After all, the ventilation duct wasn't very clean, and it wouldn't be good for him to hang out in there.

Upon hearing Renault's words, Yhaka crawled out of the ventilation duct. Renault looked at Yhaka, who was wagging its tail, with a helpless expression.

"Alright, kid, don't go into the ventilation ducts so casually anymore. It's not clean here either."

“OwO umm?”

Hearing Renault's words, Yhaka also looked puzzled, as if he was quite confused. He thought it was quite clean when he went in. If it was just dust, it wouldn't be a problem, as Yhaka could easily clear it away with a gust of wind.
