Chapter 15 Zerg Raid
Luo Weiya’s words came true very quickly.

In the early morning, Qianzhi was awakened by a burst of sirens and roars.

This seemed extremely abrupt in the always silent black tower.

She drew aside the curtains and looked out, seeing the gloomy sky and the walls that had once been low but were now translucent and stretched out into the clouds.

The wall was buzzing with blue lasers.

Looking through the translucent wall, there was a dense, dark, moving “black cloud” among the trees and clouds.

With a strange and astonishing speed, this dark mass pressed towards the outer edge of the ninth district.

All guides and sentinels of the Black Tower were gathered in the safe zone on the fifth floor of the Black Tower.

“What is that?” Qianzhi watched the quantum cannon on the wall continuously bombarding the dense black cloud.

Every time it exploded, a green blood mist would appear.

“It’s the Zerg, the vanguard soldiers.” Lian Hua replied, “About two to three years, the Zerg will launch an attack on human areas in the spring, but the estimated number this time is 30% more than in previous years, so we need to pay special attention.”

Lian Hua looked at the communicator, his nervous expression showing some excitement: “The Central Military Department will send people over this time. It is said that Marshal Lian and the S-level guide will also come.”

“A marshal-level sentinel?” Qianzhi’s emerald green eyes lit up.

She wondered what it would taste like, and she was curious.

Speaking of the Marshal, Lian Hua kept talking:
“He is the man who broke into the outer worm cave of the ninth area alone when he was a teenager and killed the jungle worm queen with his own hands! And he has never lost a battle until now! Of course, he is also a model worker! It is said that the lights in the Marshal’s Mansion are on all night long! Most importantly! He is super handsome! He is called the man with a model face.”

Before Lian Hua could finish his words, the door to the concentration area opened and a tall man in a white uniform walked in, surrounded by people behind him.

Ian Gwen glanced at the crowd indifferently. His cold blue eyes paused for a moment when he saw a figure by the window, then he immediately looked away.

The cold and distant expression on his handsome face remained unchanged, only his soft and long black eyelashes trembled for a moment.

“–Marshal Gwen!” The girl with orange-red hair suddenly jumped in front of Ian. Her face was red and she looked very excited.

Ian Gwen is the person that almost every guide wants to comfort. If he hadn’t come to District 9, Alice might never have the chance to see him in her life.

“I’m Alice Brown, an A-level guide in District 9. If you need any mental comfort, you can come to me.” Alice deliberately said “A-level” very loudly.

After all, there are only a handful of guides above A level.

If she did a good job of mental comfort, or was more compatible with the Marshal’s mental power, she might have a chance to stay with the Marshal, or she might be able to leave the backward Ninth District and live in the Imperial Capital Star.

What’s more, maybe even the Marshal.
“Thank you, Miss Guide Brown,” Ian’s eyes were filled with ice. “But my mental strength is very stable, so there’s no need to waste your energy.”

He looked at the blushing guide in front of him and took a step back inconspicuously.

“But, the number of insects this time is very large. If we are not careful–” Alice couldn’t see Ian’s refusal, and her face turned redder.

Is the Marshal concerned about her?

She leaned forward, trying to pretend to fall flat on her face.

As long as she falls into the Marshal’s arms, she can use her mental power to try to capture him!
But before she could get close to him, she felt a bone-chilling chill from the cold wind blowing across the back of her neck.

The man was looking down at her with a chilling look on his face, as if he was looking at an ugly clown.

She was shocked by the mental power he released and could not move. She even lost the strength to escape.

Is this the power of the Imperial SS-class Sentinel? Alice then realized the gap between her and Ian.

The man’s body flashed, and he walked away from her side, as if he was walking around a broken rock blocking his way.

The sound of whispering was heard.

“Does she think she’s worthy of the marshal? She’s just daydreaming.”

“Marshal Gwen has already said that he will not accept the guide’s consolation.” “A macaw with a mental strength just reaching A thinks it can fly over the head of an SS-level leopard? It’s ridiculous.”

Alice turned her head sharply and stared gloomily at the group of guides who were talking.

What a bunch of sycophantic bugs, Alice thought angrily.

Ever since Qianzhi came, no guide was willing to obey her orders.

What’s that dodder guide? Speaking of spiritual races, she is many times better than Qianzhi!
She is at least a little famous in the Imperial Star, but who would know that Qianzhi!
The Marshal wouldn’t even know who she was!
Alice comforted herself, raised her chin again, and looked proudly in the direction of Chizhi.

The next moment, her expression suddenly became gloomy, and she was unaware even of her nails piercing her flesh.

Because the imperial marshal, who was unwilling to give her a straight face, was standing in front of Qianzhi with his head slightly lowered.

A few minutes ago, Chizhi was watching Alice’s over-exerted acting with lack of interest. She yawned and turned to look at the sky outside which was getting darker.

“I feel a little sad for Miss Brown.” Lian Hua sat next to Qianzhi and shook her head with regret, but her expression was a little sarcastic. “Marshal Gwen is focused on the safety of the empire. He even said in the interview that he has no intention of binding with the guide or accepting comfort.”

Alice used to be too flamboyant and arrogant, and Lian Hua had suffered at her hands.

Fortunately, however, she is now assigned to Chizhi.

“Ah, the Marshal really didn’t pay any attention to me.” Lian Hua smiled.

But the girl next to him didn’t say anything, but slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows: “Strange.”

“What’s wrong?” Lian Hua looked out in the direction of Qianzhi.

“The density of the Zerg over there is a bit sparse. The location is in the sunny area with the thinnest clouds, which the Zerg don’t like. However, the distribution of the Zerg here is the most rigorous.”

Just like the personal guards of the human emperor, they subconsciously want to show their best side in front of the Insect Queen.

“This means that there may be wet soil or muddy terrain under the bushes as cover, and the worm queen is underneath.”

Just like the pseudo-biological command bunkers that humans have made.

No wonder the Zerg are the biggest threat to the Empire compared to the pirates and other interstellar enemies.

They have evolved intelligence sufficient to fight humans, and increasingly sophisticated combat systems.

“Qianqian, how did you know—” Lian Hua looked at Qianzhi’s delicate and pretty profile and felt a little surprised.

“-It seems that you are very familiar with the Zerg’s attack habits.” A deep male voice sounded from beside them, interrupting Lian Hua’s question.

Lian Hua turned around and found a noble man standing behind them.

“Yuan, Yuan, Yuan, Marshal, Marshal—” She was so shocked that she couldn’t even finish her words.

Ian actually didn’t want to come over here. After all, he didn’t want to be bound to a guide in his life.

But the sentinel’s keen senses heard Qianzhi’s voice and the content of her words, so he allowed himself to walk towards Qianzhi.

He stared closely into Qianzhi’s green eyes.

This was the first time that I saw her in person, not through a cold screen.

She was even softer and cuter than he had imagined. Even the slight smell of her scent had her own characteristics.

As sweet and refreshing as flower petals soaked by water droplets after rain.

The marshal, who had very little experience in communicating with the opposite sex and guides, could only think of these poor and shameful adjectives at this moment.

But he showed no sign of it, and even continued to speak coldly:

“Where did you learn this?”
