Why Does This Thing Look So Familiar?

Of course, Fang Zheng did not care what that wildly imaginative Lizardman was thinking. In fact, the reason he had let the other party lead the way was that, compared with having the Zerg conduct a carpet search, it was far more convenient and efficient to simply find locals and follow them inside.
