Chapter 248: 128 What Are They Afraid Of_3 Chapter 248: 128 What Are They Afraid Of_3 “That’s just how I personally feel.”

Professor Pat frowned at the middle-aged man and said in a low voice, “Don’t trust your intuition, give me the observational data.”

“Alright, Professor, I’m on it!”

“How’s your daughter doing lately?” Professor Pat suddenly asked.

“She’s doing well,” the middle-aged man replied puzzled, “Why are you asking?”

“I’m worried you’re under too much pressure,” Professor Pat said softly, “When you’re stressed, talk to your daughter. Fortunately, there hasn’t been much personnel damage this time. But if you encounter a similar situation next time, try to blow up the insect’s central node faster. These creatures reproduce quickly, so don’t worry about losing experimental samples.”

“Okay, Professor, I understand.”

…

Whoosh—-
At the Ram Star commercial airport, near the boarding gate restroom.

Yang Ming stared at the flowing water, momentarily lost in thought.

Since the secrets of Ram Star were uncovered, the next step was to formulate a plan on how to prevent the New Federation from targeting Wind.

The least costly method was to attack the transport ships carrying insect eggs for the New Federation, but that was too passive.

Two lines of text flashed across his glasses,
[Boss, should we leave Ram Star as planned?]
[I can temporarily halt the transportation system here with a small electronic virus.]
Yang Ming’s ears twitched slightly. He bowed down, washed his face, and took out his flat internet terminal to record a short video of himself.

“This experience was quite nice, Ram Star is a great tourist planet, though I regret missing the communal hot springs bath.

“Next, I’m heading to Ao Star to continue my travels, looking forward to the upcoming journey.”

Click.

Yang Ming closed the internet terminal, smiled and nodded at two passengers who entered, shouldered his backpack, and left energetically.

He intended to get some important matters done first, like securing the enhancement serum.

He needed to figure out a way to thwart the New Federation’s conspiracies.

What kind of superpower the Milky Way is supposed to be anyway?

It’s shameless!

Inside the Feinan, Lyu released several observation drones, using Ram Star’s satellites as cover, to begin monitoring nearby star paths and jump points.

026 slowly closed the electronic book, his face pale, and after a long pause, he spoke with lingering fear,
“Insect Race, the Second Natural Disaster, the New Federation is artificially controlling the Second Natural Disaster. Lyu, should we report this? If a worm disaster breaks out, I read in books that billions would die, many planets would suffer.”

“Calm down, 026.”

Lyu rubbed his forehead with his fingers,
“You spend all day with the boss, there’s no need to fear those insects.”

“But Mr. Ming is a gentle human,” 026 said, recalling Yang Ming and feeling much more at ease.

“He’s knowledgeable, brave, and strong, making it easy for people to depend on him… but what does this have to do with the terrifying insect race?”

Lyu: “…as long as you’re happy. In any case, there’s no need to worry too much; we’ll eventually have a fleet as strong as the high-rank insect race.”

026 nodded immediately, then resumed reading the electronic book, searching for control measures for the Space Worm Clan.

No one noticed, however, that as the commercial ship Yang Ming was aboard left Ram Star’s atmosphere, inside the secret underground base, the giant petri dish containing the Mother Worm.

The Mother Worm, which was supposed to be unconscious, subtly opened its blood-red eyes hidden beneath its complex and terrifying mouthparts, emitting a faint light.

The surrounding buildings and facilities seemingly vanished;
The eggs placed one by one on the metal racks showed faint glimmers of light at their bases at this moment.
