StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 119 On the Eve of Crisis

"It doesn't look good."

Andorra communicated with the main starship via encrypted internal lines, and the only information he could obtain was that it was likely a virus, a virus that could cause the Zerg to rapidly degenerate into primitive Zerg in a short period of time.

"Lord Insect Mother~"

Unsurprisingly, Michelle is up to her old tricks again.

Breathing softly in Shen Qingqing's ear, he bent down and leaned closer with a half-smile, "Mother Insect~ Michelle is very curious about what insect your true form is~"

"Is this important?"

Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. "This is not the time to discuss this."

She didn't know if she had a real-life counterpart.

After all, she came out of something that was both an egg and a cocoon. She had observed the Holy Cocoon that Klein was holding up close before. Although there was a hard substance on the outside, similar to an eggshell, a fine layer of fuzzy material could be seen on the surface.

When she was inside the eggshell, there was also a substance similar to egg white inside.

Therefore, she doesn't know whether she has a real-life counterpart or not.

"Oh, that's a real shame," Michelle seemed quite curious about her true form. "My true form is a morpho butterfly."

"To be precise, my ancestors were morpho butterflies."

Michelle smiled at her, seemingly seductively displaying her own advantages, "Would the Queen of Insects like to see my butterfly dress? It's very beautiful."

Shen Qingqing ignored him, her gaze fixed on the insects separated from them by a wall.

On one side of the glass wall is the insect that was found to have atavistic behavior that morning.

Now, he seems to have lost his mind, and his actions are almost entirely driven by instinct as he crawls.

Its face was completely covered by fine, scale-like carapace, and it emitted heavy, muffled groans from its mouth and nose, as if it were struggling to breathe.

His chest heaved up and down, and the instruments that were attached to his body to monitor data were removed because of his struggles.

However, it is certain that he is having great difficulty breathing.

"Isn't there any way to alleviate this?"

Seeing his labored breathing, Shen Qingqing also felt a tightness in her chest.

"I'm sorry, Queen Insect, we are unable to obtain first-hand experimental data, and such a case of atavism has never occurred in the history of the Zerg."

Faced with such an emergency, and lacking close-up experimental observation and practical experience, the medical team is unlikely to draw any useful conclusions.

“However, my lord,” the head physician told her something not so good, “although we don’t know what kind of virus this is, I still recommend large-scale spraying of the reagent to prevent infection.”

Oh right, how could they forget about the infection!

Andor slapped his head in frustration, then quickly ordered the other medical officers accompanying him to spray alcohol.

"But, my lord, we don't have enough alcohol on our starship."

Upon hearing this news, Andor instinctively began calculating how much of the remaining reagents on the starship could be used by the Zerg, and how much area would be covered after the entire area was sprayed.

The calculated data is shockingly scarce.

Andorra then volunteered to leave the queen insect and go to the medical room for large-scale production.

"Queen Insect, if you give me time, I can produce enough..."

Before he could finish asking for instructions, Shen Qingqing interrupted him, "Stop talking so much, the Zerg need you now."

"Yes, Andorra will go right away."

As a modified insect, Andor was familiar with all the raw materials and how to conduct experiments using existing conditions, so this task was perfect for him.

On the other hand, because this starship is located in a relatively remote area, it is difficult for it to make close contact with other starships.

Therefore, Shen Qingqing also put on protective clothing and prepared to distribute the necessary protective equipment one by one.

To avoid overcrowding and further losses of Zerglings, the starship was divided into several sections, and physically strong and willing Zerglings were deployed to carry out the activities.

“Actually, you don’t have to join,” Michelle said, looking at Shen Qingqing who had put on her protective suit and isolation gear. “There’s no need to put yourself in danger.”

Shen Qingqing stopped moving.

He thought he had convinced Shen Qingqing, so he continued to advise, "Right now, nobody knows if this toxin will cause other harm to the body, so the mother insect..."

"You come too."

"what?"

Michelle didn't hear her clearly.

Shen Qingqing turned around, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Do you want to join us?"

"..."

"The number of Zerg that meet the requirements is currently limited, and you are a high-ranking Zerg, so with your help, I believe we will be able to complete the distribution mission very soon."

A plastic bag was shoved into her hand. Shen Qingqing winked at him and gave him an OK sign. "I'm in Zone D."

She quickly joined the action team. Her microphone wasn't on inside her protective suit, so her voice sounded muffled. "I'm going to Sector D. Do you guys have any bugs coming with you?"

All the insects assumed she was just a short female on the starship, so a few followed her down.

The remaining insects spontaneously split into several small teams and headed to their respective volunteer areas.

Although I was well prepared, I was still a little nervous when I actually faced it.

A bug gently poked her waist from behind. Shen Qingqing turned around and saw a pair of blue eyes under the protective mask. At the same time, a sweet voice came through the earpiece, "Take this for self-defense."

Taking the object, which was about the size of a sword hilt, Shen Qingqing suddenly realized that she had never seen this object before.

Seeing Shen Qingqing's unfamiliarity, the female opposite her realized it was her first time using it, so she patiently taught her how to activate the laser sword.

"Although it may be unnecessary, having a weapon for self-defense is a good option."

The female laughed, "And wow, you're really small, you don't even reach my chin..."

As they were talking, they took the elevator to the third basement level.

"Our mission is to disinfect the entire D area..." came the voice of the lead, a tall female, through the headset. "I and a few other larger women will be responsible for distributing protective gear, and you guys will be in charge of disinfecting the ground..."

Sector D is located on the very bottom few floors of the starship, and due to the nature of the work, the lighting is not strong, to the point that it can be described as somewhat dim.

Shen Qingqing and the female who gave her the laser sword went deeper into the area to spray the medicine.

The other males and females also each have their own roles.

Here, they all have the same goal: to thoroughly sterilize the entire D area.

"By the way, you're so young and look so thin, how did you end up on the starship?"

The female was quite curious about how Shen Qingqing had gotten up there. "Did she sneak up here?"

"No, that's not true," Shen Qingqing said stubbornly. "I came here honestly and squarely!"

"Haha, okay, okay, you didn't sneak up here, right..."
