After Jiang Zheyu woke up, she hurried out of the treatment pod.

Her feet had just touched the ground when she heard alarms blaring all around her.

She hurried out and saw a Beastman Doctor, but there was no sign of Shan Xun.

Jiang Zheyu remembered Shan Xun saying he would request a transfer from his superiors.

She had only just gotten used to Shan Xun and didn’t want to have to adapt to a new Beastman.

So, Jiang Zheyu really didn’t want Shan Xun to leave.

’Could it be that Shan Xun has already gone to request his transfer?’

Jiang Zheyu couldn’t guarantee that the next Beastman would be any better than Shan Xun.

She quickly asked the Beastman Doctor beside her, "Doctor, where is Captain Shan? Where did he go? Why can’t I see him?"

The Beastman Doctor paused, then replied, "There’s a large-scale Zerg Race invasion at the Research Institute. It feels like it was deliberately caused. Captain Shan has already led his men to fight the Zerg Race."

He continued, adding, "Honored female, it’s very dangerous outside right now. Please wait here for a while. Captain Shan will return once he has finished off the Zerg Race and the danger is clear."

"I can go out and kill the Zerg Race too," Jiang Zheyu said quietly.

Although last night was the first time she had killed a Zerg.

But she had already grasped the technique of how to use her spiritual power to kill them. The second time should be much smoother.

Jiang Zheyu also felt she needed more practice killing the Zerg to become more proficient. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Beastman Doctor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then tried to persuade her, "For your own safety, you should wait here. Killing the Zerg Race is the duty of the military. You don’t need to take such a risk."

"Doctor, why don’t you go take a nap," Jiang Zheyu said, extending her spiritual power to control the Beastman Doctor.

Sure enough, the Beastman Doctor’s eyes began to glaze over after a moment.

He slowly walked into his office and lay down to rest.

Jiang Zheyu glanced at the Beastman Doctor lying on the bed.

’It’s just as the system said. Since I have this spiritual power, why not go all out?’

She was the only person who could kill the Zerg Race directly with spiritual power.

Thinking of the massive Zerg tide that was to come...

Jiang Zheyu felt it was necessary to kill the Zerg Mother first, nipping the source of the danger in the bud.

After all, when the Zerg tide eventually overran everything, her Beast Husbands were all citizens of the Empire. They would be forced to go out and fight the Zerg Race.

How many innocent Beastmen would die in that overwhelming Zerg tide?

She could try to stop it, so why shouldn’t she? Besides, she had the spiritual power to do so.

She had the strength. She really didn’t want to let her Beast Husbands bear all the danger on the front lines anymore.

Jiang Zheyu recalled the Zerg infestation from the novel. The entire universe was paralyzed, with Zerg on every planet. Even the Imperial Capital Star was no exception. There was no safe haven, and many Beastmen died in that Zerg invasion.

She remembered this plot point happening much later in the story. It was told from the original female lead’s perspective, and the Zerg Race only started to invade after the female lead had gathered thirty Beast Husbands.

So when exactly did this plotline occur? Jiang Zheyu’s memory of it was hazy.

Jiang Zheyu remembered that the female lead had collected thirty Beast Husbands, but she couldn’t remember the specific time the Zerg invasion began.

Jiang Zheyu: ...

In the novel, the planet where the Zerg Mother resided seemed to be a Deserted Star.

But now, Jiang Zheyu couldn’t remember the designation number of that Deserted Star at all.

She only remembered that it was a long string of numbers.

’Who reads a novel and makes a point of memorizing a planet’s designation number? Anyway, I didn’t, and the memory is just a blur.’

In the current interstellar era, planets with such long designation numbers were generally uninhabitable and unsuitable for human life.

But there were over a thousand such planets in the interstellar space, making the search akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Zheyu, who had originally planned to return to the Imperial Capital Star after purifying the Beastmen, changed her mind.

She would join the legions of Zone -1 and Zone -2, use her powerful spiritual power to fight off the Zerg, and then find the Deserted Star where the Zerg Mother was located. That would require a search across the entire universe.

But before that, she had to demonstrate her strength.

"Host, are you finally starting to think about saving this interstellar world?" the system’s cheerful voice rang in Jiang Zheyu’s ear. "Just a few days ago, you were still a delicate female who’d get scared just by seeing a Zerg."

Jiang Zheyu, dressed in a combat suit, walked slowly toward the outside. She gave the system a faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes and replied, "My body is still that of a delicate female. And I’m still a delicate female who gets scared by the sight of a Zerg."

Her body didn’t have the powerful regenerative abilities of a Beastman, nor their incredible resilience to damage. She was practically a glass cannon.

The only thing she had going for her was her powerful mind, which could directly crush the Zerg with spiritual power. And she could also sense the hidden spiritual power fluctuations they emitted.

Jiang Zheyu didn’t like fighting and killing.

She suspected the system had given her such powerful spiritual power precisely so she would kill the Zerg and become a hero for the entire interstellar world.

After all, when the system first spoke to her, it did say her spiritual power would become the strongest in the entire interstellar world.

"System, why do I get the feeling you’re guiding me down this path step by step?" Jiang Zheyu’s lips twitched as her mind started to wander. ’Am I the chosen savior? But shouldn’t you have chosen someone with a greater love for humanity? Why pick someone like me?’

Jiang Zheyu felt that aside from her face and figure, she was completely ordinary. She was just a person focused on her own small world, without any grand ambitions, and she didn’t like to fight, much less compete.

She just wanted to "lie flat" and enjoy a blissful life with a Beast Husband to warm her bed.

But the system didn’t answer her again.

"System, will you leave me?" Jiang Zheyu continued asking, her thoughts still drifting. "Don’t tell me you’re going to leave after I save this world and kill the Zerg Mother, are you?"

That’s how it always happened in novels, after all.

But the system simply wouldn’t answer her.

She really couldn’t get anything out of it.

Jiang Zheyu: ...

Whatever. In any case, Jiang Zheyu had already decided to set foot on this dangerous path.

Besides, she had accumulated so many points from the system. It would be a total waste not to use them to buy things to fight the Zerg.

Loud alarms echoed throughout the entire research base.

Jiang Zheyu ran quickly toward the front.

She exited the Research Institute’s main building and saw that the sky in a circle around the base was swarming with a dense ring of massive Zerg.

The soldiers of the Second Legion, clad in their Mechas, were fighting back against these huge Zerg that were trying to attack the research base.

One giant Mecha was particularly ruthless and fierce, every one of its blows causing the huge Zerg to burst into gore.

That was Shan Xun’s Mecha. It was instantly noticeable, and you could tell at a glance that it was the most powerful one there.
