I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka indicated that he understood.

Chapter 1047 [Evacuation Operation Completed]

Under Theresa's protection, Theresa, along with Yuhaka and the rangers, escorted the convoy of civilians away from the defensive base and headed north towards the starport along the highway.

Along the way, Theresa discovered quite a few bunkers built along the road, but there was no one inside, which puzzled Theresa.

"Strange, why are there no people in these bunkers?"

Reno, who was in contact with Theresa and the others, also saw the empty bunkers. Guessing what was going on, Reno asked Dr. Ariel, who was standing nearby. According to Dr. Ariel, the bunkers were left behind by the Imperial Army when they left. Reno was not surprised to hear Dr. Ariel's words. After all, the Imperial Army hadn't even taken some military buildings, which showed how quickly they had left.

But this actually benefited Renault and his team.

Renault said to Theresa and Yohaka:

"Leave those bunkers to me. I will send people to reinforce them and make good use of them."

Hearing Renault's words, Theresa expressed her understanding. Theresa then continued to lead the convoy forward. They didn't encounter many Zerg on the road. Earlier, when Yuhaka went to look for Zerg pupa samples, he had killed quite a few Zerg. Basically, all the Zerg around this highway had been eliminated by Yuhaka.

However, this doesn't mean the Zerg won't send Overlords. Theresa frowned as she saw the Overlords approaching from afar and said:

"Did those Zerg send over Queen Zerg to investigate? It seems those Zerg have also discovered that the Zerg here have been wiped out?"

Although the situation here has been exposed, Theresa has no intention of letting those Ohmu leave this place. Theresa opened Yuhaka's communication channel and said to her:

"Youyou, could you please shoot down that king worm?"

"Get to know OwO~"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka also took out Baladion, which transformed into a gun, and aimed the weapon at the Ohmu in the distance. With a lightning-like attack streaking across the sky, the Ohmu floating in the air instantly burst open like a punctured balloon. After seeing the Ohmu destroyed, Theresa also reminded the Rangers escorting the caravan that there might be Zerg attacking the caravan later.

After hearing Theresa's order, the Rangers became more vigilant. When facing the Zerg, the Rangers dared not underestimate those hideous creatures.

Less than 15 minutes after Yhaka destroyed the Overlord, a swarm of fast-moving Zerglings attacked the convoy. However, they were largely unharmed, as their numbers were small and they were quickly wiped out by the Rangers. Theresa, looking at the dead Zerglings, stroked her chin and said:

"Hmm, it seems the enemy sent these springers to test us. Youyou, what do you think?"

In response to Theresa's question, Yuhaka, sitting in the transport vehicle, replied:

“Youyou is sitting and watching OwO.”

Hearing Yuhaka's answer, Theresa was stunned. After a while, she realized what he meant and stamped her little feet, saying:

"I asked for your opinion! Who asked you whether you should sit or stand?"

Yuhaka, tilting his little head, looked at Theresa, who was stomping her feet, and felt strange. But since Theresa had asked, Yuhaka offered his opinion: beat her up!

Theresa looked annoyed when she heard Yohaka's answer. It was clear that Yohaka's answer did not meet Theresa's expectations, and perhaps it was a mistake for her to ask Yohaka the question herself.

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

After Theresa and her team escorted the convoy to Starport, the Rangers guarding Starport distributed the civilians in the convoy to the large transport planes. Theresa and her team then returned, encountering Zerg on the way back, and in much larger numbers than before. However, due to the reconstruction of the bunkers along the roadside, many Zerg were stopped by the bunkers. Although the floor was there to block the Zerg's attacks, two or three Zerg would still manage to break through the bunker's defenses.

However, they were all dealt with by Theresa and her team.

After returning to their previous defensive base, Theresa and her team rested briefly before setting off. Of course, Yuhaka, who was eating at the base, startled quite a few people. After all, seeing the food floating in the air and being eaten bit by bit was quite frightening. Fortunately, Theresa explained the situation, otherwise, rumors of the Rangers being haunted would have spread.

After the two convoys escorted her away, it was dusk, and the sky darkened. Theresa, watching the setting sun, couldn't help but feel a headache coming on and said:

"It's getting dark, and the escort work from now on will be a bit more difficult."

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Renault nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, it's getting dark now, and visibility will be affected, making the upcoming battles much more difficult."

Sitting to the side, Yuhaka tilted his head as he heard the two talking. For Yuhaka, the dim light of the night did not affect his vision, while the Marines' equipment, although equipped with night vision capabilities, still had some impact.

Furthermore, none of the people in the convoy had night vision equipment. If they were to encounter underground tunnel bugs along the way, it might affect the Marines, since night vision goggles would immediately dazzle their eyes if they saw lights.

Fortunately, this convoy is now the last civilians. Once they are taken to the starport, Theresa and the others can leave the planet immediately, and the Zerg swarm will no longer be a concern for them.

During the subsequent escort, the Zerg attacked the convoy like madmen, with various airdrops falling from the sky and tunnel bugs emerging from the ground catching Theresa and her team off guard. Fortunately, with Yhaka there, most of the airdrops and tunnel bugs were destroyed the moment they appeared. However, some airdrops did fall to the ground, but it was better than them falling into the convoy.

After the last convoy arrived at Starport, Renault received the news and immediately ordered a retreat, otherwise they would have to spend the night with the bugs.

Chapter 1048 [Open the door! Ranger Chadizine!]

After completing their escort mission, Raynor and his party returned to the Hyperion. Dr. Ariel also boarded the ship at the same time. As a reward for Raynor and his party helping her people escape from the swarm's attack, Dr. Ariel was willing to provide the Rangers with medical-related scientific and technological support. This pleased Raynor, as the Rangers' medical technology had not been improved for a long time, and there were not many skilled personnel on the Hyperion in this field.

However, when Ariel met Theresa and the other three, she was completely bewildered. After all, there was something wrong with the four little girls who looked almost identical. But when Theresa said that she was over 40 years old, Dr. Ariel felt that Theresa's identity might be a little strange. Dr. Ariel had heard rumors that the Federation was using cloning technology to create an army during the Federation era, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

But Dr. Ariel felt that Raynor and his team couldn't possibly do such a thing, since it's impossible to create clones that look like little children, right?

As for Theresa and the others, it wasn't appropriate to tell Dr. Ariel about their identities. After all, they came from another world, and it wasn't suitable to spread such things around. Moreover, Theresa and the others didn't know Dr. Ariel's character, and there were some things about them that weren't suitable for others to know, especially things related to Honkai. If that thing spread in this world, the entire star sector might fall into the situation of their world.

It's much simpler than Yhaka. Yhaka's origin is simply that he was the result of the Empire's human-Zerg hybrid gene experiment. However, Yhaka looks more like a hybrid of human and animal genes than a hybrid of human and Zerg genes.

Dr. Ariel expressed sympathy for Yhaka's plight, while Yhaka, looking on with an "O-O?" expression, was also puzzled as to why Ariel was looking at him with such sympathy.

After the Hyperion left the agricultural planet overrun by the insect swarm, it escorted civilian transport ships to the refugee settlement in Mainhof. Although the environment there was not good, there were not many habitable planets, and even fewer planets that could take in refugees.

After Theresa and Yhaka returned to their room, Yhaka immediately pounced on her bed, while Theresa sat on the bed rubbing her little feet and said:

"Today's task was really tiring; I feel like my legs are about to break."

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka turned around and looked at Theresa's puzzled expression, saying:

"You're not tired, are you?"

Theresa looked at Yhaka with a speechless expression and said:

"Youyou, you've been sitting on the transport truck the whole time, haven't you...?"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka wagged its large tail, tilted its head, and looked at Theresa, saying:

"Yes, that's right~ Youyou mostly sits in the car =w=~"

After hearing Yhaka's answer, Theresa stared at him with a deadpan expression and said:

"Just as I thought..."

Yuhaka noticed Theresa's deadpan expression and, feeling embarrassed, burrowed under the covers, leaving his bottom exposed to Theresa. Theresa, naturally, had no interest in Yuhaka's little butt and sighed helplessly, reminiscing about her old friend, Himeko.

If it were the other person, perhaps they could teach this naughty little devil, Yuhaka, a lesson?

However, now, I wonder if Himeko is feeling overwhelmed by her sudden disappearance? But for Theresa, the best-case scenario is that she doesn't panic because of her sudden disappearance.

Feeling troubled after much thought, Theresa ruffled her white hair, turning it into a fluffy ball. With a sigh, she got out of bed and said:

"Forget it, after thinking about it, I still can't come up with a solution. I might as well take a shower and get a good night's sleep."

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka also peeked his little head out from under the covers and said to Theresa:

"Youyou needs to take a bath too OwO."

When Theresa heard what Yohaka said, she waved to Yohaka and beckoned her over, saying:

"Let's do it together, I can help you wash your hair."

Afterwards, Theresa took the bouncy Yuhaka to take a shower and then returned to the dormitory. After chatting with Guanxing and the others for a while, she went to sleep.

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

The next day... Renault received a request from Tosh to collect a rare gas called terazine from a planet called Baysher. The only problem was that the Taldarim Protoss on Baysher wouldn't let them take the terazine away so easily.

The Tal'darim Protoss consider the terrazine a gift from their gods, and anyone who tries to take the terrazine will be subjected to a frenzied attack by the Protoss.

On the bridge of the Hyperion, Tosh and Raynor looked at the tropical jungle-like landscape and didn't know what to say. Most importantly, the large number of Taldarim buildings and Taldarim troops on those ruin-like structures showed that the Protoss were not to be trifled with.

If given a choice, Renault would not want to fight the Protoss, after all, he had witnessed their strength firsthand.

Moreover, the Protoss air force this time is quite large, and Raynor also had Swann place the blueprints for Goliath armed robots and Wraith fighters in the Heavy Factory and Starport in order to increase production.

This operation to collect terazosin also requires engineering vehicles like SCVs to assemble gas canisters, which means that Reynolds will have to send people to protect those SCVs, otherwise they won't be able to withstand the Taldarim's attack.

Regardless, Tosh offered a considerable sum of money, making the operation worthwhile. Most importantly, they needed several brave SCV pilots, and Renault would provide them with some risk compensation, as the operation was far too dangerous and they needed some reimbursement.

Chapter 1049 [Entering Baisher]

Located in the armory, Yhaka sat in a chair in the changing room watching Theresa, who had changed into Blood Knight: Moonbeam. Theresa took the opportunity to discuss the situation with Yhaka.

"Youyou, this time the Tal'darim Protoss are better equipped than the last time, with a large number of flying units. Be careful then. Also, if there are any small, invisible flying units that look like eyes in the air, remember to shoot them down. Otherwise, the Tal'darim Protoss will be able to see you."

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood. After Theresa put on her equipment, she took Yuhaka to the transport plane to prepare for their trip to Baisher to collect diazine.

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

After the transport planes arrived in Baisher, the Rangers' base was also located in a place relatively close to the Taldarim Holy Land, and there happened to be a crystal vein there, making it a suitable base.

After setting up the base, Theresa and her team watched as the Goliath armed robots emerged from the heavy factory. These bipedal mechanical vehicles, standing 2.5 meters tall like marines, possessed excellent air and ground attack capabilities, making them capable of fighting most enemies. Furthermore, their air-to-air missiles proved quite useful against flying units.

After the base was set up, Renault sent a message saying:

"Alright guys, we're going to the Protoss to borrow some diazine, but they're a bit reluctant, so we'll go get some diazine ourselves."

As he spoke, Renault began assigning tasks. The main objective of this mission was to collect diazine, and only SCVs could collect diazine. After all, only the engineers who piloted the SCVs knew how to install and disassemble the sealed gas canisters. Therefore, the task of guarding them while they collected diazine was handed over to the armed personnel.

The diazonite gathering team will not set off until the base defenses are in place. However, before that, Yhaka needs to destroy the Taldarim Protoss defensive structures to make it easier for the diazonite gathering team to gather.

Moreover, Yuhaka's combat capabilities are no less than those of a typical Ghost agent, which put Reno at ease. The only problem is that Yuhaka seems a bit dim-witted and needs someone to guide her so that she doesn't get distracted or lose track of the mission objective.

Under Theresa's command, Yhaka went to the nearest zeolite collection point. After Yhaka's little head peeked out from the bushes, he saw two Protoss fanatics guarding the zeolite shrine.

Just as Yhaka was preparing to go down and take care of the two Protoss fanatics, Theresa sent a message in a somewhat serious tone:

"Youyou, we've discovered their attempt to seal the Diazine Shrine. Have you seen the Celestial Spirits trying to seal the Diazine Shrine over there?!"

Hearing Theresa's words, Yhaka turned his attention back to the Dirazine Shrine. At this moment, two more Stalkers, two Protoss scouts, and a probe seemingly engaged in some unknown activity had appeared at the shrine. Seeing this, Yhaka reported to Theresa:

"Theresa, Youyou see it over here, so many guys, we hadn't even arrived yet O-O."

After hearing Yhaka's reply, Theresa activated her camera connection with Yhaka. Through the connection, Theresa saw what was happening on Yhaka's end: a Protoss squad was escorting a Protoss probe to seal off the Aldera Shrine.

Seeing this, Theresa quickly said to Yuhaka:

"Youyou, do you see that little probe? That thing is the machine that seals the Altar of the Diazine. You have to destroy it!"

After saying that, Theresa summoned a spear formed from Judah and hurled it at a Tal'darim Protoss who was trying to charge at her. As the spear destroyed the Tal'darim Protoss's plasma shield, it also pierced through the unarmored parts of the Tal'darim Zealot, sending him back to his home.

Theresa's side also encountered an attack from the Taldarim Protoss. It was clear that the Taldarim governor here did not like Raynor and his group being there, and deliberately sent the weakest squad to attack Raynor and his people.

The customs of the Tal'darim are quite different from those of the Aiur and Nerazim. The Tal'darim believe in power and intrigue, and their social system has a very strict hierarchical tower-like social relationship [the Ascension Chain]. The Tal'darim at the top have absolute command over the Tal'darim below them.

Conversely, the thing that Tal'darim dislikes most is the weak. In Tal'darim, the weak are only destined to be eliminated and used as cannon fodder.

However, the Taldarim warriors attacking the base weren't very strong; they were clearly being used to test Reno and his team, and were basically taken down by Theresa and her group in no time.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Theresa's order, Yhaka also drew a weapon resembling the Thunder Wolf Dragon Heavy Crossbow and aimed it at the probe used to seal off the Diazine Shrine. Yhaka aimed the weapon at the probe and pulled the trigger. Accompanied by a flash of lightning, a large-caliber sniper bullet, like a long nail, pierced through the opponent's plasma shield and instantly destroyed the probe.
