Xia Chujian blinked.
She had heard it from Kang Shanxing.
The way Huo Yushen asked made it seem as if the news was highly classified and not meant for her ears. Of course, Xia Chujian would not betray Kang Shanxing.
She vaguely replied, "I just heard someone mention it. What, wasn't I supposed to hear about it?"
Huo Yushen neither confirmed nor denied it. "This time, my main tasks are to sabotage Wenren Zhao's mining operations, restore the Star Net connection in the Southern Cross Star Territory, and find this Broodmother that is supposedly still gestating."
He had not originally intended to tell her about his mission, but the more he spoke with Xia Chujian, the more he felt it was better to make things clear.
This girl was heading to the front lines too. He had a feeling she would not obediently remain an ordinary Starry Sky Marine.
Xia Chujian was startled.
She could not help clenching her fists, narrowing her eyes as she said, "You're going alone? You really don't want to bring anyone to help?"
She actually very much wanted to go with Huo Yushen.
If they could destroy a gestating Broodmother, they could at least delay the Zerg's advantage in launching a large-scale offensive by several years! That buffer would give them time to accomplish many things! If they could also develop a vaccine against Zerg Gene Corruption, defeating the Zerg would no longer be a dream!
Huo Yushen remained expressionless. "I'm enough on my own. Bringing anyone else would only hold me back."
"This kind of mission is best suited for one person."
"The odds of getting out safely are much higher than with two."
Xia Chujian did not press the matter. "Then if we encounter Insectoid Soldiers, how should we fight them?"
Huo Yushen
