Zhao Hao's expression changed. "What's wrong, Xiaoxue? I thought your days weren't supposed to be today."

The girl's face remained unchanged, still pale. To achieve this effect, her mother had specifically bled her this morning. The wound on her thigh hadn't even healed, all to prevent this situation.

"I don't know, it just started yesterday. It hurts so much…" Her strained smile, coupled with her pale complexion, made her look like a ghost.

Zhao Hao remained unmoved.

If they had just met, that would be one thing, but they had been living together for months. He, Zhao Hao, wasn't a fool. It was obvious she was dissatisfied and unwilling.

That made it even more fun. He was worried all the women here were too obedient. Now, he had a rebel.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao grinned and said, "Alright, Xiaoxue, you get some rest. I'll send someone to treat you later."

The girl bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and softly responded.

However, this wasn't a long-term plan. Calling someone else to look at her wound clearly meant he suspected her and her mother.

Fortunately, the wound was hidden. Although it was shameful and painful, she could indeed fake it well.

But what would her future hold? Why struggle? She wasn't even afraid of death, so why struggle? Mom… are you hiding something from me?

...

"That's the plan. You've recovered almost completely, right? I've treated you. Although I can't fully restore you, normal combat shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The woman, wrapped in a coat, stood in the wind and snow, looking at the thin man opposite her, dressed in what looked like mecha combat suit made of leather.

"Okay, execute. Target: assassinate Zhao Hao…"

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her own people had discovered this place. The two who had discovered it were now dead, although she didn't know how they had died. But this was indeed a secret only she knew.

Looking around, she could vaguely see that the shape of the ice and snow was a bit strange, as if something was supporting it from below. In fact, she was right. Below was a fallen space station. The man before her was the only one inside who hadn't been sucked dry. A genuine survivor.

Space stations operated by accumulating powerful biological energy, using brute force to transport space station components up and assembling them. Therefore, the operation of technology mostly relied on biological energy.

In the face of destruction, all sleepers became backup energy sources, draining internal power to maintain the space station's operational stability and attitude adjustment.

"Just this one thing. After this, I'm going to find my master."

"Good. As long as you help me kill Zhao Hao, I will mobilize the base members to send you out of this frozen wasteland and complete everything."

"Okay, the agreement is set. According to the Dawn Regulations, Article 3, I will abide by our agreement."

"Good."

The Dawn Agreement was actually used to restrain these brainwashed sleepers. After all, what was needed from subordinates was absolute obedience, so there were many regulations. As for whether these sleepers' lives would be inconvenient, that wasn't something the researchers needed to consider.

"Then come with me."

The man didn't say a word and put on the clothes the woman handed him. Now, before he violently rebelled, before he had absolute strength, he had to be honest. As long as he was cleared of suspicion, according to inheritance, he should rightfully become the leader.

In addition, after swallowing Zhao Hao's crystal core, he would definitely be able to advance to the fifth rank. Although he was just an esper with no combat power, his dignity as a sixth rank could not be trampled on.

If it weren't for his role, this base would definitely not have survived to this day. Breathing turbid air and eating garbage food, if he didn't have the healing talent, who knows how many people would have died here.

However, the situation was now clear. He originally wouldn't have acted so quickly, but he had no way out. If Zheng Qian hadn't died, he would definitely have let him become the next leader and then married his daughter to him, but…

The wind and snow raged. The two returned to the base. However, there was no concept of guards inside the base. There was no one there. Besides the cold, there was nothing else. Everywhere was covered in ice and snow, not even a ghost could be seen.

In the less than three months he had been here, it had been snowing for at least two months.

But the weather was very good today. For some reason, the wind and snow had been much lighter in the last two days, although it was still cold.

"You hide here. Tonight, the man next to me will be Zhao Hao. Just kill him."

"Yes… okay."

Without saying much, the woman hurriedly returned to her room, changed her clothes, and pretended as if she had never left.

...

"Gu ji!"

(Empress! You're here!)

Gu Ji looked at Lin Mo with a face full of surprise. His Empress was still so cute. Except for that hateful meat worm, everything else was fine.

"Hee hee, thanks for your hard work, Gu Ji. Come give me a hug."

Gu Ji's eyes lit up instantly, and his small tentacles swung with crackling sounds.

"What's wrong?"

"Gu ji!"

(Wait Empress, Gu Ji's body temperature is too cold right now, it'll warm up soon.)

Lin Mo seriously walked up to Gu Ji, looked at Gu Ji who was more than half a head taller than her, at least two meters tall, opened her arms, and rubbed her little face hard against him. o((＞w＜))o

"Hehehe…" (¯﹃¯*)

Ka Ka: (눈_눈) How dare you! Is it that comfortable! Control your expression!

"Alright, Zaizai, what's the situation with the Zaizais now? Are they all in hibernation?"

"Yes, Empress, except for the creep Zaizais who are still working, the other Zaizais have entered hibernation. Oh, and the drone Zaizais are digging holes."

"...Uh, so busy?"

At the top of the snow mountain, it was alright for the Thorax Zaizais, but for the smaller Zergling Zaizais, the difficulty of advancing was a bit high. However, Gu Ji also issued a digging order.

Moreover, the biological energy contained in this ice layer far exceeded the average amount in the air, even by one or two times.

This was too cheap for the current Zerg. The current Zaizais needed energy replenishment, and the evolution of the mother nest still required a lot of biological energy.

For Lin Mo, it didn't matter if it was sooner or later. After all, there were no advanced intelligent life forms in the vicinity. Except for the sun in the middle and the endless energy, everything else was tasteless and a pity to discard for the current Lin Mo.

"Okay?" Lin Mo's arms were sore... The ice layer on her clothes was too thick, even an evolver couldn't withstand such a method.
