Lin Mo's small hands were soft and hard, tiny things. Unfortunately, with a crisp crack, Yang Tianzheng's expression froze. Cold sweat poured down. If he wasn't mistaken, his ribs were broken!

Secretly resolving to work out more in the future, Yang Tianzheng never even considered limiting Lin Mo's strength. He was truly at his wit's end!

The ground was hard and cold… ah, definitely sturdier than his brain! As his last thoughts faded, darkness engulfed him, and he lost consciousness…

"Uh, Kaka, was I a little too much?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.

"Well, it doesn't matter, Empress. Essentially, this human wanted to mate with you and was already trying to take you away from Blue Star without your knowledge."

Lin Mo smacked Kaka on the head. "What are you saying! Don't be so blunt!" Knowing it was true was one thing, but as the protagonist, Lin Mo's face was quite displeased.

"My mistake, Empress. By the way, should we sabotage things a little, delay their progress?"

"How so?"

"Hey, Empress, how about unleashing some Leviathan-spawned Zergling?"

"They can fly that far?"

"Of course!"

Stroking her chin, she said, "No rush. Let me eat first. It'll be cold later." Lin Mo wasn't worried at all. Not only was the Leviathan spawn launching tomorrow, but even without it, Lin Mo could fly back on her own.

With the Overlord's Shield, no miscellaneous rays could harm her. She could just float back with Kaka's help.

Completely ignoring the unconscious man on the ground, she happily pushed the food cart back inside.

However, what followed was a heart-wrenching cry from the Empress and, a few minutes later, a violent explosion. As for the exact reason…

Lin Mo sat on the edge of the bed, puffing out her cheeks. Her heels tapped against the side of the bed with dull thuds, making Kaka tremble in fear, afraid to speak.

That Dawn was really something, trying to fob the Empress off with this crap. It was already Empress's mercy that she hadn't blown them all to kingdom come.

"Empress, don't be angry… Kaka."

"Damn it! They're not taking me seriously at all! What is this crap?!"

Five minutes earlier…

"Heh heh, who's the cute girl about to get a delicious meal… that's right, it's me!" After some human-confounding behavior, Lin Mo seriously opened the first container.

…

?

What is this?

A transparent glass tube sat quietly on the table, the metal caps on both ends gleaming under the lights. Inside was a brown, syrup-like liquid.

Picking it up, it felt like nothing special, just ordinary nutrient fluid. Frowning, she broke off one end of the seal, held it to her nose, and sniffed. Her frown deepened. This wasn't syrup; the smell was wrong, not sweet…

After shaking it for a while, Lin Mo decided to taste it anyway. She dipped a tiny bit with her little finger, a sticky, translucent drop…

She put her finger in her mouth.

Bitter! Extremely bitter! What the hell was this stuff?!

Her features twisted together.

Kaka watched the Empress standing there, motionless, her pupils dim, her eyes devoid of light…

"Empress, what's wrong?"

"Wah! It's so bitter!"

Kaka's question only made Lin Mo feel even more wronged. She had been looking forward to this for so long, and this was it?!

"Don't worry! Empress has more, maybe there's something better underneath…" Not at all! They were all the same! Kaka couldn't save them today. May they have good fortune!

Before Kaka could finish speaking, Lin Mo had already taken out everything below. As expected, they were all the same, all this same unknown crap.

"Kaka, what is this stuff?"

"Well, Empress, do you really want to know? Kaka is a little afraid to say, it's…"

"Don't worry, you can tell me. I won't take it out on you, Kaka!" Lin Mo said, annoyed at Dawn's lack of sincerity.

"Uh, it's probably an aggregate of various spices, a concentrated syrup, but it would be better if diluted. As it is now, it's more like… the taste of snow?"

"—!"

Lin Mo was stunned. So, in other words, she had just tasted that snow stuff??

"Uh, Empress, essentially you ate spices, but the taste is more like…" Kaka didn't dare to continue. However, Dawn was probably doomed… Was that human brain-dead? Daring to give the Empress something that obviously came straight from the lab?

After a long silence, Lin Mo suddenly asked, "By the way, Kaka, how long will it take for the Zergling to arrive?"

"Huh? Empress, why are you suddenly asking that? About ten minutes or so…"

"Blow up Dawn's power system for me!" 凸(゜皿゜メ) "Tomorrow, as soon as the Zergling are loaded, immediately bring them over! Beat him to death! Don't leave a single living person here!"

"Yes, Empress."

…………

Rumble—

Beep—Beep—

Red lights flashed back and forth, signaling Dawn's current precarious situation.

The commotion immediately awakened Yang Tianzheng, who was still unconscious on the ground. He was dazed for a moment. "Where is this? How did I get here?" He bent over, trying to sit up, and a sharp pain shot through his chest.

"Ss! That hurts. Numb. She's really strong. No wonder she's my 'beloved' who's been training down there!"

"Wait! Red lights? What's going on? Zhou Xiao—" He was about to call her name when a memory of Zhou Xiaonan being assigned to an experiment flashed through his mind. He gave a helpless bitter laugh and called a duty robot.

Arriving at the main control room, he found the researchers in a panic. After all, most of these people had been awakened to conduct experiments to help humans live on new planets. None of them knew anything about spaceships.

"Doctor! What's going on? We were doing experiments when suddenly there was a shock, and it turned into this."

"Yeah."

The noisy voices provided no useful information. Yang Tianzheng waved his hand impatiently. "Get out of the way. It must be a problem with the main power source. I'll go check it out."

The crowd immediately found their backbone and stared expectantly at the man tapping away at the computer.

Yang Tianzheng's expression grew increasingly grim. This wasn't just damaged; there was no trace of the power system at all!

Even if the radar system was damaged and failed to intercept something, it shouldn't have disappeared completely! At most, a meteorite would destroy it, but the current situation left Yang Tianzheng at a loss.
